Chapter 16: In the Palace
"What? You Jingzhao Mansion also want to get involved? Li Jin squinted and smiled, in his eyes, compared to the Tiwei Mansion, the Jingzhao Mansion had no ability to compete with him.
"This murder happened in the capital, and it should have been taken over by the Jingshi Yamen under the jurisdiction of my Jingzhao Mansion, and the holy decree I received said that although your Mingjing Division was entrusted with the responsibility of investigating the case, the Jingzhao Mansion and the Tiwei Mansion held the primary power, to put it bluntly, the Mingjing Division was just assisting from the side." Guo Siyuan fought hard against Li Jin.
"What if I want to take them?" Li Jin smiled disdainfully.
The government army of Jingzhao Mansion also drew the sharp sword on his waist, ready to fight the Spiegel Division at any time.
At this time, a white-clothed armored soldier hurriedly came from outside and whispered a few words to Li Jin, then Li Jin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally raised his eyes to Guo Siyuan and Xiao Chongguang and said: "Okay, since the holy decree is like this, I can't stop it, I won't arrest people, but in the future, I will mention people in the Spiegel Division, and I hope that the two adults will cooperate." โ
Guo Siyuan said: "This is nature. โ
Xiao Chongguang didn't say anything, his eyes looked away, and he pretended not to hear.
"Let's go!"
Li Jin waved his hand, and all the white-clothed armor soldiers put away their sharp knives, and then left Qingle Zhai together.
As soon as they left, more than thirty guards rushed in, knelt down on one knee in front of Sogo and Yunsheng, and said, "I waited too late, which frightened Xiao Tou and Lu Tou. โ
"What is not frightened, I can handle this kind of scene." Xiao Chongguang waved his hand, and then said to Guo Siyuan: "Thank you Lord Guo for coming to relieve Xiao in person, I am very grateful." โ
Guo Siyuan said with a smile: "Where is it, this is what I should do in Jingzhao Mansion, besides, now that the two of us are working together to handle the case, we should naturally help each other." However, to be honest, he Li Jin really doesn't look down on my government army, if it weren't for your guards coming, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to surprise that Li Jin. โ
Xiao Chongguang said with a smile: "That's also because of the two of us working together to deal with him, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous." โ
The two looked at each other and laughed, and then one of the guards took out a stack of documents from his arms and said, "Lord Xiao, this is what Dr. Wen wants me to pass on to you." โ
Sogo took a look, his expression became a little complicated, he handed over the paperwork to Lu Yunsheng, and then said to Guo Siyuan: "Lord Guo, there is suddenly an important matter in the house that we need to deal with, so Xiao will leave first." This Qingle Zhai will be entrusted to the adults. โ
Guo Siyuan nodded: "Don't worry, I will arrange it." โ
The two said goodbye, Lu Yunsheng also said goodbye, and Sogo took the guards to look at his own mansion.
The imperial city of the eastern capital, Ziwei Palace, is not at the beginning
At this time, the crown prince and King Huai sat in the guest seat at the behest of the queen, and Song Yu asked, "Is there anything else for the queen mother to leave us?" โ
Empress Jiang said: "Today, your third brother came back from Yanzhou, and your father asked the palace to wait for your fifth brother here, and then go to Fengyi Pavilion for a family banquet together." โ
The corners of Huaiwang Song Qi's mouth tugged and said, "The third brother didn't have a good time in Yanzhou, why did he come back?" โ
Song Yu immediately said: "You forgot, the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the queen mother, and the third brother, as the prince, should naturally come back to celebrate." โ
The third brother of the crown prince is his rival, Song Lin, the prince of Liang Xiang's support, Song Lin is only one year younger than the prince, and his talent is not lost to the prince by half a point, and with the assistance of Liang Xiang, his prestige and power can completely compete with the prince, some time ago, he was ordered by Emperor Chu to go to Yanzhou to inspect the local people.
Empress Jiang said: "Yesterday, the post station in Yong'an County flew pigeons to report that Lin'er had arrived at the boundary of Zhongzhou, and I believe that he would be able to reach the palace tonight." โ
The territory of Chu is very extensive, located in the Central Plains, east of the sea, west of the desert, south of the barbarian forest, north of the grassland, a total of Kyushu. The imperial capital is located in the heart of Zhongzhou, and the other eight states are Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou.
"His Royal Highness King Ning has arrived!"
At this time, I only heard the eunuch outside shouting loudly, and as soon as the words fell, King Ning Song Mo rushed into Ziwei Palace, knelt down to the queen and said, "See the queen's mother." โ
Empress Jiang smiled and stretched out her hand to make a gesture of "up" and said, "Milling doesn't need to be polite, please get up." โ
Ning Wang Song Mill's mother, Concubine Rong, had a very good relationship with Empress Jiang, so she treated Song Mill like a parent-child nephew.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." King Ning stood up and sat down in the guest seat.
Empress Jiang looked Song Mo up and down, and sighed: "I really envy Sister Rong for having such a good son as you, who is not involved in party disputes, does not form wings, and does not handle His Majesty's affairs wholeheartedly. Unlike Yu'er and Qi'er, who frighten me all day long, if they have half of Milling'er, they can also make this palace worry less. โ
Song Milling crossed his hand and said: "Erchen doesn't dare to be, I'm just a little prince who wants to spend a lifetime in the ordinary, so I can only try my best to share the worries of my father and emperor, the imperial brother and the eleventh brother are the pillars of Lingyun's ambition in their chests, how dare Erchen compare." โ
Jiang Hou said with a smile: "Milling is obedient, you are already an adult, if you like the daughter of a family, just say it, this palace will personally propose marriage for you." โ
Song Mo said: "How dare you bother the queen's mother, besides, there is no one you like in your heart." โ
"Really?" Huaiwang Song Qi said with a smile, "Didn't the fifth brother still secretly write Miss Shuyue's name on his bookcase two days ago?" โ
When Song Mo heard this, his face immediately turned red like a ripe apple and said, "Eleventh brother, you ยทยทยทยทยทยท How can you peek at what I'm writing? โ
Song Qi pouted: "Who peeked, obviously you didn't hide it yourself, I went to your study to look for you, and you weren't there, so I accidentally saw it." โ
"You ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Song Mo wanted to say something, but he had nothing to refute.
"Mill, whose daughter is that Miss Shu Yue?" Empress Jiang asked with a smile.
Song Mo didn't dare to answer, so the crown prince Song Yu said for him: "It's Zhao Shuyue, the daughter of Zhao Yuheng, the daughter of the Zhongshu Ling. โ
Empress Jiang nodded: "I know this Lord Zhao, I heard that he has been reused by His Majesty, and he has been promoted all the way to the position of Zhongshu Ling, and I think that Lord Zhao's daughter will not be bad, and the daughter of Zhongshu Ling and the prince are also a good match, but you still have to be cautious." That's it, you call Miss Zhao into the palace another day, and let the palace check for you. โ
Song Mo blushed and said: "Queen Mother, Erchen told the truth, Erchen and Miss Zhao just had a relationship on the birthday of the eldest in Zhongshuling, and they said no more than three sentences in total, and they were all greetings, how to call her into the palace?" โ
Empress Jiang smiled and said, "You kid, you're really shy." Okay, this matter will be handled by the palace, remember to call you to meet when the time comes, but you can't shirk it. โ
Song Miaoxi said: "Thank you Queen Mother!" Rest assured, the sons will be at your disposal at any time. โ
"You stupid boy." When Empress Jiang saw King Ning's joy, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
Song Yu and Song Qi in the guest seat looked at each other quietly.
Jingkang, the eastern capital, visited the Tiwei Mansion and Shen Chu
"King Shin actually colluded with the Spiegel Division!"
Lu Yunsheng slapped the Chinese book on the book case heavily.
At this time, he and Xiao Chongguang had already returned to the inner hall of the Tiwei Mansion, so they dared to lose their temper so much.
"You speak softly, although you are in the inner hall, but you also have to prevent the partition wall from having ears." Xiao Chongguang reminded him.
The document in their hands was passed by the Privy Counsellor, which read: At the end of July 13 of the second year of Da Chu Chenghe, He Qian and King Xin had a private meeting in Cuiting Zhai and gave each other a thing, the specific thing is still unknown, to be investigated.
Yunsheng said: "I guess it's the prime minister's gang who didn't have a good heart, ostensibly cooperating with the Tiwei Mansion, but actually helping the Spiegel Division to monitor us, I suspect that today's action was sent by the Prime Minister to tell the Spiegel Division, otherwise how could they arrive at Qingle Zhai so quickly, now all this is clear." โ
Xiao Chongguang said: "Don't judge presumptuously, no one knows the details of this matter, even if King Xin and He Qian had a private meeting and gave gifts, how can you conclude that King Xin will definitely win over He Qian?" Did He Qian's meeting with King Xin necessarily want to join the Prime Minister's party? โ
"This ยทยทยทยทยทยท It's hard to say. Lu Yunsheng's tone immediately became less absolute.
"Okay, then let's take 10,000 steps back and say, even if He Qian has this intention and the king is willing to agree, then do you think Liang Xiang will really trust Spiegel? Who are they, Liang knows better than us, isn't Liang Xiang afraid that the Spiegel Division was sent by the Holy Lord to investigate him secretly? โ
Hearing Xiao Chongguang's series of questions, Yun Sheng felt completely blocked and couldn't answer anything.
In the end, Xiao Chongguang said in a calm tone: "We are talking about the real evidence, not relying on a secret report to make a decision. โ
Yunsheng gritted his teeth and said: "The main thing is that what the Spiegel Division did today is really excessive, I really want to find some evidence of their crimes, and ask the Holy Judge to get rid of the Spiegel Division." So now that I think of something, I will contact Spiegel, and I really can't calm down. โ
Sogo smiled: "Spiegel is the eyes and ears of the saint, how can it be so easy to destroy?" Even if a big mistake is made, the Holy One will punish him heavily, and he will never revoke it. โ
"This case is really infuriating." Lu Yunsheng said angrily.
Xiao Chongguang said: "Compared to the Spiegel Division, what I care more about is, how did those assassins know our whereabouts? also stabbed Wu Sheng to death first. Now that I think about it," Sogo said of this, lowering his voice so low that only he and Yunsheng could hear it, "it must be that we have a 'ghost' within us. โ
Yun Sheng also nodded in a low tone: "Yes, after the Zheng Fu family's murder case last time, you suspected that there was a secret stake to report to the murderer, I couldn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that this is really the case." โ
Xiao Chongguang said: "Last time, in addition to our Tiwei Mansion, the scope of my suspicion also included the Household Department, Jingzhao Mansion and the Ming Spiegel Division, but our whereabouts today are only known to our own people in the Tiwei Mansion, so it will be easy to do, and this person must be arrested." โ
Lu Yunsheng asked, "What are your clever plans?" โ
"It's very simple," Xiao Chongguang smiled slightly, "lure the snake out of the hole." โ
