Diligent Palace

Emperor Jia Kangdi looked at Lord Qiu of Dali Temple, who was sweating profusely, and asked strangely:

"Master Qiu, is this what happened?"

Why is the matter of Ning Wangfu spread to our Dali Temple!

Master Qiu had a bitter face and said:

"Your Majesty, you asked Lao Ning to come to Dali Temple today to cooperate with the trial, but Commander Luo and I waited left and right, and only waited for Murong Jianchang, the third prince in King Ning's mansion. Now Commander Luo is asking questions in Dali Temple, but these three sons don't know anything. There's really no way to do it. ”

Jia Conti slapped the table hard and asked:

"This old Ning King is getting more and more disagreeable! Did Murong Jianchang say why King Lao Ning didn't come? ”

Master Qiu nodded and said:

"The third prince said that King Lao Ning couldn't get out of bed because of a vicious illness. So it can't come. ”

It's time to get this disease!

Jia Kangdi said with a dark face:

"Since he is suffering from a vicious disease, then you should interrogate Murong Jianchang well, and don't give him special treatment because he is a relative of the emperor. Be sure to ask about Ning Wangfu! Three days later, you said to the outside world that Murong Jianchang committed suicide in prison. ”

Does the emperor want to lure the snake out of the hole?

It seems that the emperor is determined to deal with King Lao Ning.

The good days of King Ning's Mansion are coming to an end.

But......

Master Qiu said worriedly:

"Your Majesty, what if King Ning's Mansion asks us for the corpse of the third prince?"

Jia Kangdi had a cold face and said:

"When I told them, I said that I said it, and threw Murong Jianchang's body into the river to feed the fish. If they are not convinced, come to the palace to find me! Then, you will continue to talk to the dignitaries of King Ning's Mansion, and you must go to Dali Temple in person with King Ning. Otherwise, the end will be the same as Murong Jianchang! ”

this

Where is this to try the case, it is clearly forcing King Lao Ning to do it.

Master Qiu really understood this time, and arched his hand:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will retire first."

Smoke and Snow Building

What happened at the gate of Dali Temple did not escape Xueliu's ears and eyes.

When Lord Qiu entered the palace for help, Xiao Yuelan also got the news and hurried over.

"Xueliu, I think that Lao Ning Wang must be pretending to be sick, but he dares to say it blatantly, it is estimated that he has eaten something, so that people can't find out."

Xiao Yuelan sat down breathlessly and said what she was thinking.

What did you eat?

Xue Liu shook her head and said:

"I asked the people in the cabinet to check, but I don't know what it could be that makes people eat like they are suffering from a bad disease. Yuelan, should we sneak into King Ning's Mansion to have a look? ”

Xiao Yuelan immediately vetoed:

"No, King Lao Ning has been in the court for many years, and although his prestige is very high, he also has many enemies. Now at this time, it is the time when the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it, and Ning Wang's Mansion must be like an iron wall. By the way, are our people still in King Ning's Mansion? ”

Xue Liu sighed and said:

"Since Murong Jianchang entered Dali Temple, our people have not sent any more news, and I am a little worried that the situation in King Ning's Mansion is beyond our control."

Even the people in the palace can't send news out, is it because they are under house arrest?

This Murong Jianning's death was too easy, and before I could do anything, I was actually poisoned by his old man.

Tiger poison doesn't eat children!

This old King Ning is really ruthless!

What now?

If I don't uproot Ning Wangfu, it's really hard to solve the hatred in my heart!

Xiao Yuelan leaned on the soft collapse with a headache and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Xiao Yuelan slowly spoke:

"The last way is to release the news that Murong Jianchang spent money to get an official position, and point the finger at King Lao Ning, saying that the purpose of King Lao Ning's wealth is to force the palace to be king. Now this trend, as long as it is a gust of wind, the emperor will hold on to King Lao Ning. What's more, this estimate is not necessarily the wind, I don't believe that King Lao Ning is not prepared for this day! ”

Xue Liu gave Xiao Yuelan a thumbs up and praised:

"Yuelan, you're really amazing. I think this time King Lao Ning is in a catastrophe! ”

On the second day, the news that King Lao Ning spent money to help Murong Jianchang get an official position spread all over the streets and alleys, and even the little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace also spread the word.

Gonggong Chen passed by when he heard the enthusiasm of the two little eunuchs discussing, and hurriedly scolded:

"If you don't work hard, what are you talking about hiding here!"

The shorter little eunuch said cautiously:

"Grandpa Chen, don't be angry. We also listened to the rumors from the people in the palace, so we couldn't help but say a few words. ”

It sounded like these two people were talking about Ning Wangfu's affairs just now, could it be that something happened to Ning Wangfu again?

Gonggong Chen knew that the emperor had been staring at the Ning Palace's house recently, and urged:

"Then you can tell me and listen to it, and if you say it well, I will spare you. If you hide it, or talk nonsense, I will kill you. ”

The tall eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly said everything he heard:

"Yes, yes, yes. The small one listened to the people in the imperial dining room say that it was Li Guang, who delivered the food this morning, and Li Guang said that it spread outside, and they all said that the official of the third prince of Ning Wangfu was bought for him by Lao Ning Wang, so Dali Temple arrested the third prince. We didn't say anything, we just envied these rich and powerful, and if they wanted to be officials, they could spend money to buy one. ”

Gonggong Chen nodded and asked, "That's all?" Nothing else? ”

"No, no, we just envy other people's power. Don't dare next time. ”

The two little eunuchs knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Is this intentional, or is it just pure speculation on the part of ordinary people?

Gonggong Chen thought about it, and finally dropped a sentence "The next time I commit it again, I will be thrown out of the palace", and hurriedly walked to the Qinzheng Palace.

Jia Kangdi has been in a good mood since he solved the big trouble of the Witch King.

Therefore, when Gonggong Chen arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, he didn't see Emperor Jiakang, and asked the people who were guarding outside to know that Emperor Jiakangdi went to accompany the Queen Mother.

Yesterday, Du Ruo got the news that the Queen Mother went to Lingshan Academy, this is the first time in so many years that Du Ruo has gotten news from the palace, although he doesn't know the reason, Du Ruo still rushed back to the capital.

"Hongyuan has seen the emperor's uncle and the emperor's grandmother."

Du Ruo stepped forward and saluted and said.

The Queen Mother beckoned happily and said:

"Don't kneel, come here, I'll show you someone."

"Grandmother of Emperor Xie."

Du Ruo got up and stood beside the Queen Mother.

"Hongyuan"

A familiar voice came, and Du Ruo's eyes were moistened with tears at once.

"Brother! You're alive! ”

Du Ruo ran over quickly, looked Du Hongyao up and down carefully, and said:

"It's too similar, when I was a child, everyone said that my brother looked like his mother, and when he grew up, he became more and more alike. Brother, where have you been all these years? ”

Du Hongyao didn't want Du Ruo to be sad, so he simply mentioned the past:

"I have always stayed in Jin Hongfu's fleet and went to sea, and now Jin Hongfu has been arrested by the emperor, and our parents' revenge has finally been avenged. Come with me and thank Uncle Huang and Grandmother. ”

Du Ruo nodded, followed Du Hongyao to kneel on the ground, kowtowed and thanked him:

"Thank you Uncle Huang, thank you Grandmother."

Jia Kangdi nodded with satisfaction, helped Du Ruo and Du Hongyao up, and said with a smile:

"Now that your brothers are reunited, the Du family can finally revive the lintel."

Du Ruo and Du Hongyao glanced at each other, took out two and a half jade pendants from their arms, and said:

"Uncle Huang, please take back the jade pendant, my mother told me back then, the jade pendant must be returned to the imperial uncle."

Jia Condi said with an unhappy face:

"Back then, your Du family was beheaded all over the house for the sake of my country, what is this thing now? Is there a shortage of these things in my country? Keep it up. This is actually the dowry I gave to the imperial sister back then, how can I take it back. ”

Du Ruo shook his head and said:

"Our Du family started with medicinal herbs, and we can keep the pharmacy. For the rest, please take it back from Uncle Huang. My brother and I have survived until now because of my uncle. So, we can't take any of these things. ”

Du Hongyao followed and said:

"Uncle Huang, what Du Ruo said is that we really can't accept it. Please take it back from Uncle Huang. ”

The Queen Mother sighed, took back the two halves of the jade pendant, and said:

"Your two brothers have the same temper as your mother, and they are very strong. In that case, then let me go here for the time being, and when you get married, the emperor and I will reward you with other things. ”

"Thank you grandmother, thank you uncle."

Du Ruo and Du Hongyao knelt on the ground and said in unison.

Jia Kangdi said helplessly: "After a while, I will ask Gonggong Chen to send you the deeds of the shops, fields, and houses that were confiscated that year. Now that you are back, let's return to Zhao completely, and the Du Mansion is still reserved for you. ”

Du Ruo and Du Hongyao knelt on the ground and thanked them excitedly:

"Thank you, Uncle Huang."

Jia Kangdi stepped forward and helped Du Ruo and Du Hongyao up.

At this time, Gonggong Chen hurriedly walked in, knelt on the ground and said:

"Emperor Qiqi, when the old slave was walking around the palace just now, I heard the little eunuchs talking about it, saying that the official of the third prince of King Ning's mansion was bought by King Ning, so the third prince was arrested by Dali Temple. The old slave felt that there must be something strange about this, so he rushed to tell the emperor about you. ”

"Get up."

Jia Kangdi shook his head and continued:

"You will do two things in a while, the first is to send back to Du Mansion all the things confiscated in Du Mansion back then, and hand over all the contracts to my two nephews, Hongyuan and Hongyao.

The second thing, no matter what the intentions of the person who spread this word are, you will pass it on to King Ning's Mansion as it is, so that King Ning can enter the palace immediately, I need his explanation. ”

Gonggong Chen said hesitantly:

"Your Majesty, but the news from King Ning's Mansion just came out that King Ning was infected with a bad disease and couldn't get out of bed, I was afraid that the old slave would go to King Ning's Mansion, and they would still use these words to send the old slave away."

Jia Condi waved his hand and said indifferently:

"You just do what I say, I don't plan for him to actually come."

Gonggong Chen nodded and responded: "Yes, the old slave will do it." ”

In fact, what happened in Du Mansion back then, as a henchman around Jiakangdi, Gonggong Chen knew best. Therefore, after Du's house was raided, Gonggong Chen put everything together, and waited for Jiakangdi to return these things to Du's people one day.

Therefore, there was not much time, and Gonggong Chen took a thick stack of contracts and returned, and said with a smile:

"The eldest son, the second son, the things in Du Mansion are all here. There are also some objects, the old slave will send someone to Du Mansion for a while, and the emperor of Du Mansion has been sending someone to take care of it, and there is no change between it and before, please rest assured that the two sons are not worried. ”

Du Hongyao took the contract and said happily: "Thank you Uncle Huang for taking care of me for so many years, thank you so much." ”

"Haha." Jia Kangdi smiled: "It was really helpless back then, you can go back to Du Mansion for a while, and if you have any needs, you can tell Gonggong Chen." ”

"Well, thank you, Uncle Huang."

Du Ruo and Du Hongyao said gratefully.

Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Gonggong Chen stepped forward and asked:

"Your Majesty, that old slave is now going to Ning Wangfu?"

Jia Condi nodded and said:

"Go ahead, it's best to say to King Lao Ning and see how he reacts."

"Yes, the old slave obeys."

Chen Gonggong left in response.
