Chapter 66: The Secret Storm
After the news of the burning of the mountain demon spread throughout Bianjing, the people also settled down a lot, and some people even hung a long list of firecrackers, crackling and driving away the bad luck. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBianjing swept away the previous haze, this feeling, there is really a bit of an atmosphere of approaching the end of the year.
Three days later, the emperor decreed, because the six princes were ordered to investigate the matter of Jiuyou Mountain, and made great contributions, the original Prince of Wuzhu added two beads, and was specially named the Prince of Qizhu, which caused a lot of sensation in Bianjing.
For the people, these days, the six princes have worked hard for the people, everyone sees it, and the six princes themselves have a good impression in the eyes of the people, so they take it for granted that his sealing is a matter of course.
And for the people of the court, the prince of seven pearls, but has a pivotal position, now since the emperor began to re-take charge of the government, the three princes were demoted, but the six princes began to have a smooth sail, won the trust of the emperor, especially the special period when the storage position was vacant, in addition to some time ago, the news about the emperor's decision to choose the six princes as the crown prince has been circulating among officials.
Now it seems that everything has become a logical thing. It seemed that the situation became clear, and many forces began to show favor to the Six Princes, and for a while, the prestige of the Six Princes reached its peak.
However, in the next period of time, several major events happened in the treacherous Bianjing City one after another.
After the investigation, the evidence was conclusive and he was imprisoned, and then several big families were imprisoned for harboring gunpowder and weapons without permission, but because the number was not large, except for a few people who were directly involved in the beheading, the rest of the family members were exiled and disposed of.
As for how these items flowed in, in the investigation, there were signs that Huang Youjia, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Zhang Wenjin, the waiter of the Ministry of Households, and many other officials were more or less implicated, and such a major case naturally had to be filed and thoroughly investigated, after all, such a serious matter happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so it was okay, as long as the officials who were involved in this matter were all removed from their posts for investigation, everyone in the court was in danger for a while.
These periods may not seem to be very related, but anyone with a little discerning can see the implications. These people have all received more or less the favor of the three princes, and now that they are being investigated, they naturally take advantage of the period of the three princes' grounding to cut his power cleanly, so that the three princes will not have more say in the court in the future.
Letting the outside world be full of wind and rain, the three princes still did not move, as if they had really thought about it behind closed doors.
.......
In the Three Princes' Mansion, several ministers were waiting in the hall with anxious faces at this moment.
In just a few months, the form of Bianjing has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Recently, the three servants of Bianjing were arrested, and some forces related to the three princes were implicated.
And the three princes, who are the backbone, did not respond to this at all, except for the claustrophobic confinement before explaining that they would not move, there was nothing else, even if they had been in the officialdom for decades, they really couldn't sit still, and today they took the risk to find out if the three princes cared about this matter.
It didn't take long for the three princes to walk into the hall, and the big horse golden knife sat on the main throne with a calm expression. Situ Zhennan, who was close behind, stood aside after the three princes took their seats.
"You don't look very good, I don't know when it happened, it can make you so panicked." The third prince's face was flat, and there was no emotion in his tone.
"Lord Wang, you should know that Qu Shilang was framed and imprisoned, and Huang Shilang and Zhang Shilang were suspended for investigation." An old man with gray hair asked.
"Oh, when this king painted today, he did hear about it, what did Zhang Hanlin mean by this?" The third prince picked up the tea, took a sip, and looked at him for a long time with his dark black eyes like a pool of clear water.
"I don't know if the prince has a countermeasure, after all, they have made a lot of contributions to the prince over the years, and being wronged for no reason is very detrimental to the prince." The old man's leisurely gaze at the three princes, for some reason, there was a faint feeling of oppression, but now, they can't care so much, before they came in today, they have already discussed, and he will come forward to probe the tone of the three princes.
"Oh, what does Zhang Hanlin think this king should do?" The corners of the third prince's mouth raised slightly, and he asked rhetorically.
"This... Zhang Hanlin was speechless for a while, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Now the situation is well known to the king, and the king is still in the lockdown period, there is really nothing to be done about this matter, during this period is also troublesome for you not to act rashly, everything is waiting for the end of the sacrifice ceremony to say, this king still has a pair of ink treasures that have not been painted, please go back, butler, send off." After the third prince finished speaking, he got up and left.
Zhang Hanlin and the others originally wanted to say something, but the prince had already issued an eviction order, and obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore. So I had to swallow back all the words that had just come to my mouth and stopped talking.
The other people, looking at each other, also silently chose to get up and leave.
After all, it can be regarded as a long time of ups and downs in officialdom, and as sophisticated as they are, they naturally get unusual information from it.
If you want to say that the three princes plan to completely give up the fight for the storage position, they don't believe it if they are killed, even if the power is not as good as before, it is impossible not to have the slightest way. And from the conversation just now, it can be vaguely deduced that the prince has his own countermeasures in his heart, but he didn't tell them on the surface, this prince's means should not be underestimated, and all kinds of things in the past are always in the end.
.....
"Lord Wang, do we want to reveal one or two to them, so that they don't speculate wildly and affect our plans." The third prince was just about to continue practicing calligraphy, Situ Zhennan thought about it and asked softly.
"No, this matter is still acting according to the plan, and the drama will naturally be done enough, these people will definitely be known by my sixth brother for the first time, if you don't make some movement, it will be too calm, but it will arouse the suspicion of the other party, and you don't underestimate these old guys, you can be in the officialdom for so long, you know what to do and what not to do next, you can rest assured that you can do your own thing." The third prince shook his hand and replied calmly.
"Yes, my subordinates understand." Situ Zhennan returned.
......
Five days later, the Three Princes' Mansion suddenly announced that a staff member of the palace had developed a decoction that could effectively control the plague and was ready to promote its use.
The plague, which made the famous doctors in the whole Bianjing helpless, has now been solved, and many people will be skeptical about this matter, but it is not impossible for some strange people who can treat incurable diseases in the people.
For a while, Bianjing City was paying attention to this matter, and many people were stopping to see if the effect of the medicine was really as rumored, after all, the plague was panicking, although it had not yet been introduced to Bianjing, but who knew when it would come in, and now there are drugs that can be treated, which is naturally good.
After this decoction was put into the plague area in large quantities, the effect of the medicine was good, and the condition was effectively controlled. Such a result was naturally praised by the people. In their opinion, after getting rid of the monsters, the fortunes of the country have also improved, which is a good sign.
For this matter, it didn't take long for the emperor to issue an order to lift the ban on the three princes in advance, and gave a lot of rewards and commendations.
Compared with the six princes for this painless reward, in the eyes of discerning people, they naturally know that the three princes have completely lost their favor, and many people have begun to take refuge in the six princes, and the form of the six princes looks very good.
