The next morning, on the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Jingxi sat on the upper seat and looked down at his courtiers, and Gonggong Li shouted in his sharp voice: "Something to start, nothing to retreat." ”

An imperial historian came out of the class, bent down and bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”

Emperor Jingxi said: "Yes." ”

Yu Shi said: "Qi Yu Emperor, the Zhong family is the queen mother's mother's family, the emperor's foreign family, but was searched by Lord Li of Dali Temple, which violated the etiquette law, and I hope that the emperor will investigate this matter." ”

Emperor Jingxi narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself which faction this person belonged to?

At this time, one person came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to play." ”

Emperor Jingxi said: "Yes." ”

The man said: "Yesterday's search, in fact, was because the Zhong Mansion entered the thief, and out of desperation, Master Li went to search. ”

Yu Shi said: "Lord Meng means that Lord Li is not afraid of power, so in the future, can he take officers and soldiers in and out of other mansions at will." ”

The man said: "That's Lord Li's duty, it's okay, Lord Li will never go in and out of other people's houses at will." ”

Yu Shi knew that the whistleblower had died before he was brought into the palace, but Lord Li was fine, and he mentioned this matter to the court today, and he must be pulled off the horse, so that Dali Temple can install their people. "Really? Who saw the thief yesterday? ”

The man said: "There is a whistleblower who has informed you. ”

Yu Shi said: "Where is the whistleblower?" ”

That person was embarrassed, the whistleblower was dead, if he said it, it would not be good for the Li family, and he was speechless for a while.

Emperor Jingxi squinted slightly and stared at everyone in the court, he wanted to see who his good sons had wooed?

Li Shangshu came out of the ranks, taking retreat as advance, and said: "Your Majesty, the son of the minister has done this matter, and the minister is willing to take him to Zhongfu to ask for guilt." "He absolutely did not allow other forces to be planted in the Dali Temple, which he had finally planned.

Emperor Jingxi wanted to agree, but was stopped by Liu Shangshu.

Liu Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, if every time Lord Li does not search anything, it will end in a plea, and he will often search our mansion, in case the people he brings are not clean, I am afraid that there will be a few more unjust cases, and I implore the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter." ”

Emperor Jingxi was a little unhappy in his heart, because he also pushed this matter once, doesn't that mean that he is also at fault? Silently looked at the crowd.

This made everyone's hearts uneasy, and they stood there in fear, waiting for Emperor Jingxi's answer.

For a time, most of the courtiers present came out to implore Emperor Jingxi to give Zhongfu an explanation.

Emperor Jingxi knew that these were the political enemies of the four princes, and they united to attack the four princes and his foreign family, if he didn't give an explanation today, it would inevitably be that someone would follow suit, but he didn't want to weaken the power of the Li family, he still needed the Li family.

Thinking about it, Emperor Jingxi issued an order: "Remove Li Yong from the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple." ”

Subsequently, the people who were originally united against the four princes began to split and fight for the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

It was a lively day in the morning, and Kyoto Castle was also very lively.

Zhong Xuanlan, Wang Xuannian, He Li and Yang'er bid farewell to Lu Qin in Shili Pavilion, and at Yang'er's request, they took him shopping.

Kyoto City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there will never be a shortage of well-informed people, no matter how much you block the news, there will be a little rumor more or less, not to mention the team of laborers yesterday who searched the officers and soldiers of the Zhong Mansion.

"Hey, have you heard? Early this morning, Shaoqing of Dali Temple was dismissed. ”

"Really? Why? ”

"I think it may have something to do with the fact that he went to search the Zhong Mansion yesterday, and Xu Meiren was sent to the cold palace, and I heard that she is Zhao Tai's daughter."

"Who is Zhao Tai?"

"Zhao Tai, you don't know, it's been a long time since the time, but he was the champion of the year, and ah, he is also one of the candidates for Princess Fuyou's concubine!"

"Hearing you say this, I remembered that the son of the Zhao family, a merchant, was the son-in-law of the Zhao family, but isn't this Zhao family hidden, and now it's back?"

"You don't know! Zhao Tai is now the owner of Qiushui Villa, and the price of goods in Kyoto City has been changing some time ago, and a large part of the reason is because he made it. ”

"Tsk, this Zhao Tai is impatient! But how do you know that Xu Meiren is Zhao Tai's daughter? ”

"It's not that I have a relative who works in the Xu family, and I inadvertently heard the words of Xu Da and Princess Fuyou."

“……”

Zhong Xuanlan squinted her eyes and looked at the two people sitting under the tea shed, it seemed that she didn't just know about it, but who were these two people?

Wang Xuannian saw Zhong Xuanlan looking at the tea shed in a daze, and asked, "Lan'er, what's wrong?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”

At this time, He Li led Yang'er back from the vendor who bought sugar gourds, each holding two strings of sugar gourds, and Yang'er handed one to Zhong Xuanlan and said, "Sister, give you a string of sugar gourds." ”

Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly, a little reluctant to accept this string of sugar gourds in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and saw Yang'er's big black eyes flashing with expectation, so he reached out and took the sugar gourd.

Yang'er said happily: "Sister, try it quickly!" ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded.

"Zhong Da is so coincidental, do you have the honor to invite Zhong Da to have tea?"

Zhong Xuanlan looked for a voice and saw Gu Qingyun standing at the window on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, looking at her.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Zhong Xuanlan spoke: "Master Gu, there is something to do today, and I will talk about it another day." ”

Gu Qingyun asked, "Master Zhong is not curious about yesterday's events?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan looked at Gu Qingyun sharply, and after a while, said, "No matter who it is, as long as the Zhong family is fine!" ”

Gu Qingyun was stunned, could it be that his observation was wrong? Does this person not care about power and just want to protect the Zhong family? But she wasn't like this back then, in the face of people in the officialdom, she dealt with them, and even helped people come up with ideas, now does she really don't care or is she hiding?

After coming back to his senses, Gu Qingyun found that Zhong Xuanlan was leaving, and continued to stay: "Does Master Zhong really want to make people profit? ”

Zhong Xuanlan paused, this person should know the truth of some things, but she didn't want to have anything to do with this person, this is the bustling street of Kyoto City, and within a moment, the news will be all over the sky.

When the time comes, it will be a hassle to deal with it too!

After thinking about it, Zhong Xuanlan refused: "Whatever, just give him a favor." However, the favor under the is not so easy to get. ”

After speaking, Zhong Xuanlan picked up Yang'er and led Wang Xuannian away.

Wang Xuannian glanced at Zhong Xuanlan, she felt very uncomfortable, she hid it from him, just like the officers and soldiers searched the Zhong Mansion yesterday, he was the last to know, if he hadn't heard the words of his subordinates, I am afraid that he would not know until he was on the street.

Zhong Xuanlan was thinking about things in his heart, but he didn't notice Wang Xuannian's emotions, and the four of them walked forward silently.
