Chapter 790: Festival Defense

The arson case that occurred two days ago was obviously the Tang family taking the Zhang family.

Duanwang's situation is very difficult now, Emperor Chen's desire to restore King Kang's crown is something that happened not long ago, and King Huai has been entrusted with important tasks in the court, and at the same time, Emperor Chen's education of Zhao Yuan has suddenly stepped up, on the surface, Duanwang's difficult to approach the throne is gradually leaving him.

One can imagine how anxious the Tang family and Concubine Tang Hui are now.

Persimmon to pick a soft pinch, among several princes, although King Run is round enough, but it is not easy to pinch, the Tang family is already like this, and if you offend the Fang family in the sky, it is likely to be ruined, and only a few people will die.

Although King Huai does not have the same background as King Run, his power is in his own hands, and the Tang family does not dare to provoke him.

In line with the idea of getting rid of one by one, they can only choose King Kang.

However, the Tang family made a move, but King Kang and the Zhang family didn't accept the offer at all, if it was the Tang family before, there was a way to force them to accept the move, but now, it is already very good that they can protect themselves.

King Kang seems to have completely lost the mind to compete for the throne, at least in the eyes of most people.

Since Emperor Chen handed over the preparation of the festival to him, he has been plunged into Zongzheng Temple to prepare for the festival, this festival has been organized many times, but the scale is so large, it is the first time, even Zongzheng Temple has to be in a hurry.

During the period from the end of October to the New Year's Festival, this festival is undoubtedly the most important thing, and there is no one.

This is about Emperor Chen's vanity and face, which is very unfortunate, these two things are very important to Emperor Chen.

The festival that all the courtiers have to participate in, and they have to leave the imperial city, is undoubtedly a big project, which needs to be completed with the cooperation of the six departments, among which, the Ministry of Industry is the busiest.

They had to survey the route from the palace to the West Mountain, and choose the most suitable one, potholes and bumpy roads are not enough, the high places should be cut, and the low places should be filled, so as to ensure that the road is passable, and the emperor must not be uncomfortable on the road.

The emperor's departure from the palace is a major event, and the sixteen guards will also be busy at that time.

After Emperor Chen left the palace, he was first escorted by Jin Yuwei all the way, and Jin Yuwei would escort the team all the way to Xishan, and then hand it over to a certain guard, responsible for the safety of the festival site.

At the same time, the rest of the 16 guards must also strictly guard their posts to avoid any accidents.

Stationed in the west are the left and right Ximen guards, and the safety of the festival is naturally responsible for them, this escort, there is nothing to do with the cavalry guards, Tang Ning is also happy to be idle, just follow Queen Chen, and do not have to bear any responsibility.

However, the one who is responsible for the safety of the festival, although the responsibility is heavy, but near the Jingshi, there will be no danger at all, they are just standing guard, and the reward is huge.

The Imperial Court would allocate a large sum of money to the guard responsible for the security of the festival for the defense of the festival.

However, the bulk of the festival was spent in the Ministry of Works, and the Janissaries did not have much to spend their money, so the money would become food and fall into the pockets of each of them.

Zhuwei coveted this amount, but His Majesty chose to hold a festival in Xishan, and this fat difference fell on the head of Zuo Ximenwei.

The Zhang family has well confirmed that "blessings and misfortunes are relied upon, and disasters and blessings are lurking".

A few days ago, they lost money because of a lawsuit, and this time they can get such a fat difference, in addition to the silver, it is also of extraordinary significance to be able to hold this festival.

There are not many ways for the Praetorian Guards to be promoted, and the generals who are subordinate to the Left East Gate Guard can get further opportunities through this festival.

I just don't know if the Tang family and Duanwang, who have been eyeing the Zhang family, will let this opportunity fall on the Zhang family.

Facts have proved that Tang Ning's prediction was good, Duanwang and the Tang family really chose soft persimmons, and as soon as the Ximen guard was in charge of the safety of the festival, there were many twists and turns.

Compared with the left West Gatekeeper, the Right West Gate Guard is actually closer to Xishan, and King Kang is close and far away, obviously deliberately giving this cheap to the Zhang family, which is more like using power for personal gain.

King Kang is not even a prince anymore, and some people impeach him, so naturally he has no scruples.

In addition, some of the black history of the Zhang family was also dug up, which caused a wide range of discussions in Beijing.

There are even rumors that the Zhang family intends to rebel and that there is a dragon robe and jade seal hidden in the house......

Rebellion is a big crime, and the crime of spreading rumors and rebellion is not light, especially at this juncture, it directly touches Emperor Chen's rebellion.

In order to clear the suspicion, the Zhang family asked the guards to enter the house to search, and after the guards searched, they found nothing, and Emperor Chen was angry, and killed several people who took the lead in spreading rumors outside the palace wall in public, and ordered the government to strictly investigate the source of the rumors.

In Duanwang's mansion, Tang Qi frowned and said: "We just spread the news that King Kang used his power for personal gain, as well as those stains on the Zhang family, who spread the rumor that the Zhang family was going to rebel, and it almost ruined the big thing......"

Duan Wang said: "What's the big deal?" ”

"Concubine Hui sent a message out of the palace, saying that His Majesty had warned her, if the Tang family still didn't know what to do, stirring up the wind and rain outside, don't blame him for being ......ruthless" Tang Qi's face was still a little pale, Your Majesty can say such a thing, it is really angry, if the Tang family is caught next time, I am afraid that the family will really be ruined.

King Duan was taken aback and said, "It's so serious! ”

Tang Qi saw that his expression was different, and asked, "The rumors of the Zhang family's rebellion can't be spread by His Highness, right?" ”

"No, it's impossible, how can it be......" Duan Wang laughed a few times and changed the topic: "So, this plan against the Zhang family has failed again?" ”

"Not necessarily." Tang Qi said: "Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, for this kind of thing, I would rather believe it than believe it, although there is no evidence, he will definitely guard against the Zhang family's ......"

……

The Imperial Study.

King Kang walked in, bowed down and said, "Sons and daughters see their father." ”

"No courtesy." Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "How are the preparations for the festival?" ”

King Kang said: "Back to my father, I have almost prepared. ”

"That's good, this festival is very important, you have to be careful in everything, and you can't make a mistake."

King Kang nodded and said, "Erchen remember. ”

Emperor Chen glanced at him and said, "In addition, I think that the right Ximen guards are closer to the West Mountain, so wouldn't it be better to hand over the festival defense to them?" ”

King Kang thought for a while, bowed down and said, "It's the negligence of the sons, everything is arranged by the father." ”

Emperor Chen looked at him for a long time, and he didn't see a trace of discoloration on his face, and finally dispelled his suspicions, nodded and said, "Then leave it to the right Ximen guard." ”

King Kang bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Emperor Chen picked up a piece of music again and said, "It's nothing, you go down first." ”

"The retainers retired." King Kang bowed again and walked out of the imperial study.

He was walking down the stairs just as someone came from in front of him.

The two looked at each other, then quickly looked away.

A moment later, in the imperial study, the man stood in the hall, arched his hand to Emperor Chen, and said, "The right Ximen guard general Qi Yu, see Your Majesty's ......"
