Zongge Lao, Zongzhe, Cabinet Scholar, and concurrently serve as the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"How do you stand alone in the cold wind and get distracted?"

Zong Zhe also just went to the Qian Mansion to take a look.

Jia Baoyu replied sincerely: "Because I remembered some things, I was distracted." ”

Zong Zhe nodded slightly and asked, "But are you thinking about the affairs of Qian Shilang's family?" ”

Jia Baoyu should be, and then said: "The student is just sorry for Lord Qian, I don't know who is so vicious and cruel, if the court can't find out who the murderer is, where is the majesty of the court?" ”

Zong Zhe sighed slowly: "The imperial court will find out the real culprit and make the decision for Lord Qian." ”

"Can the imperial court really call the shots for Lord Qian?"

Zong Zhe's eyes froze: "What do you know?" ”

Jia Baoyu bowed slightly: "The student doesn't know anything. ”

Zong Zhe looked at Jia Baoyu and suddenly smiled: "Yes, it's best not to know anything." Master Qian is approaching the age of destiny, and the road of life has come to an end, and he has no other choice.

But you are still young, and there is still a long way to go, so don't learn from him. ”

"Remember, students."

Zong Zhe nodded with satisfaction, suddenly looked in the direction of the imperial city, and said quietly: "The sun is clear, cause and effect are reincarnated, and no one can guarantee who can stand on a high place forever."

Zong Zhe stopped halfway through speaking, and said to Jia Baoyu: "If you still don't understand, go and see the Taishi, he will tell you." ”

"Yes."

The second prince was destroyed because of Qian Zhao's family, and his mind was lost.

After he entered the palace, he did not go to the Jinluan Palace to go to court, but went straight to the Daming Palace.

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, the eldest prince knelt with a dejected face, and when he saw the second prince, he looked away with disdain.

The second prince ignored him and went directly to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Second Highness, you can't enter, Your Majesty is preparing to come to the court"

The eunuch was taken aback by the second prince's rude behavior and hurriedly stopped him.

"Let him in!"

The gloomy voice of Jingtai sounded inside.

The second prince stepped inside.

In the inner hall of the golden and luxurious Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Jingtai is changing into a dragon robe and wearing a crown under the service of the palace people. When he raised his hand, his own eunuch knelt down to arrange the folds of his long sleeves for him.

"What's the matter with you coming to see me in such a hurry?"

"The son sees his father, I don't know if my father knows, last night there was a fire in the house of Lord Qian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and more than 20 members of Lord Qian's family were killed in the fire, and no one survived!"

The second prince knelt on the ground and said.

"I already know." Emperor Jingtai said lightly.

After a short silence, the second prince suddenly kowtowed: "Son, please ask your godfather, what is Qian Zhao's crime!" ”

The inner sanctum, which was not very bright, suddenly flickered, and became even more obscure.

The palace people keenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little colder, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Qian Zhao's matter, at the court meeting later, I will order the criminal department to investigate strictly, but you, as a prince, and also have the duties of the household department, are not waiting in the main hall at this time, and came to look for me, just to question me?"

"Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen just begged my father to teach me, what crime did Qian Zhao commit?" The second prince said goodbye.

Emperor Jingtai turned his head and glanced at him.

"Well, well, since you insist on asking, I will answer you.

As a courtier, is it a crime to slander the monarch's father? Is it a crime to cling to the prince and form a party for personal gain?

Which one is not enough to connect the nine clans?

Now that he is dead, I can not blame the past, you don't want to take an inch. ”

The second prince raised his head: "Lord Qian did not form a party for personal gain!" ”

"None? Hehe, Yuan Jinghao, I tell you, I am the Son of Heaven, if you want to give orders on my behalf, wait until I die! ”

Emperor Jingtai had a cold face.

The Son of Heaven is a member of the Jiangshan Society, and he must not mention the word dead.

As soon as Emperor Jingtai said this, all the palace people knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

The second prince's face was sad, and he cried: "Father, Jing Hao has always had a sentence in his heart, and he wants to ask his father. Jing Hao, is it the son of his father? Why does Jing Hao always strive to do his best, in the heart of his father, he still can't compare to the eldest brother? ”

There was a long silence.

"The second prince Jing Hao has no words and deeds, contradicts his father, cuts off the post of household attendant, thinks about it behind closed doors, and is not allowed to enter the palace unless he declares it!"

The Xue family, an angel is here.

Dai Quan, the head of Daming Palace, personally came and brought the emperor's reward.

All kinds of palace satin and silver coins are equivalent to thousands of taels of silver.

Aunt Xue was panicked and asked Dai Quan.

Dai Quan said with a smile: "Your Majesty said, the imperial merchant Xue family is loyal to their duties and filial piety to the royal family, and the large amount of silver frost charcoal sent to the Great Prince's Mansion yesterday is of the highest grade.

The eldest prince thought that the cold winter was coming, and sent some of them into the palace, and His Majesty and all the ladies in the palace said yes, so this is a special reward for your Xue family, and you still don't receive the decree to thank you? ”

"Silver Frost Charcoal?" Aunt Xue didn't know why.

Dai Quan reminded: "It's the batch you sent to Xi'anmen yesterday, did Madam forget it?" ”

On the side, Baochai saw that Aunt Xue hadn't come to her senses, so she hurriedly grabbed her and apologized to Dai Quan: "Don't blame the old minister, my mother is old, and it is always easy to forget, yesterday we sent a batch of silver frost charcoal to the Great Prince's Mansion, which was an errand received from the Internal Affairs Office before, and it should have been sent a few days ago, but it was only later that my brother's affairs came out, so it was delayed until yesterday." ”

Dai Quan suddenly smiled and said: "It is said that there is a young lady in the Xue family, who is generous and courteous, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." Okay, the things have been delivered, and our family will go back to the palace to resume their lives. ”

"The old minister and stay."

Baochai gave the maid behind her a look, and the maid immediately brought out the tray they had prepared.

It was full of silver ingots.

Baochai took it and respectfully presented it to Dai Quan: "I'm tired of the prime minister going on this trip, a little respect, please smile at the prime minister." ”

Dai Quan smiled, without any prevarication, let the little eunuch next to him take it, and then said: "It stands to reason that there is no need to be so polite with the friendship of our families, but since you are sincere, I will also tell you a piece of news."

The eldest prince was called into the Daming Palace by His Majesty early in the morning, and he saw that he couldn't get out today.

In this way, the case of the eldest prince of your mansion should not be a big problem.

Okay, let's go first, stay. ”

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister."

As soon as Dai Quan left, Aunt Xue and Baochai looked at each other.

Aunt Xue also reacted at this time, the emperor is this, referring to the deer as a horse?

"Mom, don't think about it, if anyone asks you in the future, you can only remember that you sent the best silver frost charcoal to the Great Prince's Mansion, but don't say it's bad."

Baochai sighed.

"I know, alas, I heard that something big happened last night, and a squire's mansion was burned, and it was burned to the fire.

Baochai nodded: "However, there is good news, if what the old minister said is true, without the eldest prince by his side, my brother's life should be saved." ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she also smiled, yes, as long as her son is fine, she is willing to spend more money.
