Chapter 163: Zeng Yuanzi
Zheng Huchen flashed his waist card and entered the inner courtyard of the palace, looking left and right that everything in the palace was as usual and nothing had changed, but his steps were a little heavy, and he hesitated whether it was appropriate to go in at this time.
"Senior Official Wang, how is Your Highness feeling today?" Zheng Huchen suddenly saw Wang De coming out of the house, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and asked.
"Yo, it's Director Zheng, you haven't been to the mansion for many days, and Your Highness asked you when you got up early!" Wang De was startled by the person who suddenly came out and opened his mouth and wanted to scold, but when he turned his face to see that it was Zheng Huchen, he immediately changed to a smiling face.
"Oh, really?" It is said that being led to be worried about it all the time is a good thing that his subordinates can't ask for, but Zheng Huchen's face flashed with a hint of panic, and he squeezed out some smiles and asked, "Did Your Highness say something, are you in a good mood?" ”
"Your Highness didn't say anything, maybe I have something to ask you! However, His Royal Highness looked in a good mood today, and he didn't even have a dispute with Deng Shiyu! Wang De replied with a smile. He knew that His Royal Highness and Zheng Huchen were always muttering to themselves when they were together, and they were very mysterious, and growing up in the palace, he naturally knew that if he wanted to live a long time, it was better not to ask about some things.
"Official, if His Highness is angry later, please persuade him." Zheng Huchen rubbed his hands and said crampedly.
"Master Zheng, is there something wrong?" Wang De was stunned for a moment and said, he knew that the relationship between His Royal Highness and Zheng Huchen was quite good, and every time he came to Neiku, the door would be opened almost once, and today he was afraid that he would provoke His Highness by saying this.
"Alas, it's Jiang Yishan's matter, the Sprinkle family is afraid that they will be angry if they tell His Highness, so they want the big officials to ...... from it" Zheng Huchen sighed and said.
"I see, I think Director Zheng has already found out some eyebrows." Wang De said suddenly, "Although don't worry about this matter, we both belong to the Inner Mansion and will not watch Master Zheng have something to do." ”
"Thank you!"
"Come, I'll go with you!" Wang De has a little understanding of what Zheng Huchen does, he is the eyes and ears of His Royal Highness, who specializes in some dark things. These people are pervasive, and ruthless, they can give you a whole thing if they have nothing to do, and they can make the best friends, and don't offend if they can't.
"Alas, what a shame!" Zheng Huchen sighed again and muttered. Jiang Xuan's own handling of this matter was really terrible, and it had been more than 20 days since he found his traces and figured out the original cause of the matter. And His Royal Highness has never refused his own request, asking for money and money, asking people to give people, but things have been done like this, not to mention His Highness's reprimand, I feel that I have no face to see him......
"Who is Zeng Yuanzi?" After reading the information sent by Zheng Huchen, Zhao Yu learned that Jiang Xuan's departure was the whole story, and it turned out that after he arrived in Qiongzhou, he was invited by Zeng Yuanzi to send troops to Leizhou to restore the prefectures and counties of Guangxi. But he seemed to be very familiar with the name Zeng Yuanzi, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he asked while looking at it.
"Your Royal Highness, Zeng Yuanzi is a native of Jinxi, Chunyou has been a jinshi for ten years, and he knew Xinchang County in the same year, and later moved to the right Zhengyan. In the fifth year of Xianchun, he supervised the imperial history, and in the first year of Deyou, he moved to the Privy Council, and the two Zhejiang pacification envoys and Lin'an prefects. Later, he was impeached and deposed, and was demoted to Leizhou. Last year, the emperor inherited the unification and was reinstated as the governor of politics and the envoy of Guangxi. Zheng Huchen replied.
"What happened to him?" Zhao Yu secretly pinched his fingers and calculated that the time when he was degraded was when Chen Yizhong was in power, thinking that he might be Chen Xiang's opponent, and the enemy's enemy was a friend, maybe he could use it as help, so he asked again.
"Your Highness, when the Mongolian army approached Lin'an, officials of the imperial court fled the capital in order to save their lives, and they were also one of them, so they were dismissed by the imperial court." Zheng Huchen replied.
"Hehe, it turned out to be a deserter!" Zhao Hao shook his head and laughed at himself.
"Exactly, he is in the temple but has no heart to serve the country, which really makes the world despise!" Zheng Huchen saw His Highness smiling, and hurriedly said.
"Hey, does it have something to do with the Jiang family?" Zhao Hao suddenly remembered something and asked again.
"Yes, Zeng Yuanzi's daughter is the surviving person of Jiang Yishan's subordinate brother Jiang Ming, and she is a son and daughter of the palace marshal." Zheng Huchen lowered his voice and said.
"What is this called...... Zhao Yugang wanted to scold Jiang Wanzai for being confused and letting his son marry the daughter of a traitor with a bad reputation, but he suddenly remembered that this matter was the queen mother's nonsense. At that time, Empress Dowager Yang sympathized with the Jiang family's "three ancients" headed by Jiang Wanli, who were full of loyalty, and her female dependents and minor descendants all died with Jiang Wanli, and ordered Zeng Yuanzi and his daughter to marry Jiang Ming, but she didn't expect that Jiang Ming died in the battle of Quanzhou before she got married, and Zeng Yuanzi's daughter also became a widow, and she was also a hard-working person. But since it was the Queen Mother who was in charge, she couldn't comment casually, so she quickly shut up.
"Your Highness, the subordinates think that they have such a relationship, could it be that they have premeditated in order to break away from the Shuaifu?" Zheng Huchen guessed.
"You're still going to ask the king? What is your bureau doing, it took so long to find out the whole story, and it was already a done thing if you wanted to get out of the marshal's mansion. Zhao Yu slapped the book case and said angrily.
"Your Highness is angry, it is all a dereliction of duty by his subordinates, please punish him!" Zheng Huchen hurriedly pleaded guilty. But I can't wait to slap myself in the mouth, and I just reply with a good look, what a mouth, isn't this uncomfortable for myself!
"I ask you, this king has ordered you to keep a close watch over his words and deeds, have you done it?" Zhao Yu asked again. He found that slapping the table can really improve the deterrent effect, and it is very useful to scare people, but the clapping hand hurts, and he should also consider getting a piece of startling wood to put on the table.
"Your Highness, your subordinates dare to disobey orders! Since he entered the house, he has placed people around him, investigated his misdeeds, and did not relax in the slightest! Zheng Huchen hurriedly replied.
"In that case, why didn't he find out about such a big thing as his private transfer of troops from Qiong, and he didn't report it for a long time?" Zhao Yu asked angrily.
"Your Highness, don't be angry, and listen to your subordinates' explanations." Zheng Huchen saw that His Royal Highness slapped the table and glared, and his face was sweating, not to mention that he was excited to cut himself, even if he was angry, everyone couldn't spare him, so he hurriedly comforted.
"It's up to you to see if you can give a proper reason?" Zhao Hao snorted.
"Your Highness, there are three people placed by his subordinates, but they don't know each other's identities, so they can verify each other's authenticity. Before he left Qiong, there was indeed a letter from the Zeng family, and the spies also wanted to get a glimpse of the content of the letter, but they never succeeded, so it was only recorded in the case and reported to the bureau as usual, but the special relationship between the two families did not arouse alarm, so that they did not delve into it and missed the opportunity to discover their conspiracy! Zheng Huchen told the story of what happened...... (To be continued.) )
