Chapter Twenty-Three: King Qing
Imperial Palace, Fengyi Palace
Just three watch days, Yu Zhiqian's cheap father, His Majesty the Emperor slowly opened his eyes.
"Wu Sangui!"
"The old slave is here!"
"It's been a few days!"
"Your Majesty, it's just been the third watch, and you've only rested for an hour!"
"It's only three watches!"
Yu Ye slowly got up from the bed, and the queen beside her, that is, Yu Zhiqian's biological mother, was also woken up, and the emperor gently patted her on the shoulder: "You continue to sleep, it's late at night!" ”
"Your Majesty!"
"I'll get up and take a look!"
After speaking, he walked down from the bed, and the two palace maids waiting beside him put on a cloak for the emperor.
Walking out of the dormitory, the emperor moved his body, feeling a little more relaxed, just now he had a nightmare, his uncompetitive prince, really lost the country!
"What is the prince doing!"
Wu Sangui walked out gently, and after a while, a black shadow said a few words in Wu Sangui's ear, and quickly retreated, Wu Sangui walked in front of Yu Ye, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei has returned, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not rested, and is discussing things with a group of subordinates in the study!" ”
"Huh? It's been so late and you're still deliberating about things, what has this rebel been doing lately? ”
"Your Majesty, today, you let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to investigate the fraud case!"
"Well, are you discussing a fraud case? It's also diligent, not as unbearable as he himself said! ”
After hearing Wu Sangui's prompt, the emperor's face softened slightly, and he thought for a while and said, "I heard that there is no money in the East Palace recently?" ”
"It seems that yes, the prince came to the palace yesterday, but he left after seeing the old slave!"
"Hmph, I must have come to the queen to fight the autumn wind!" Yu Ye squinted his eyes and said, but in his mind, he recalled the scene when he had just left the cabinet, and every time he had no money, he would run back to the palace to find his mother to eat.
Anyway, as long as he comes back, his mother will prepare some silver for herself, as if she knows that she is short of money, and it seems that the prince is still very similar to herself.
"When the day dawns, let the palace send some money and food to the East Palace, not too much, enough for the East Palace!"
"Yes!"
"By the way, talk to the prince, do a good job!"
"Yes!"
After thinking for a while, Yu Ye shook his head and went to bed again.
In the early morning, Yu Zhiqian was still playing haha, and when he was dreaming, he was woken up by Shen Wansan.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Yu Zhiqian opened his eyes and saw Shen Wansan's unbeaten face, and without saying a word, he slammed his fist over.
"Your Highness, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Ah, Wansan, I'm sorry, I had a dream just now that there was a beast, and I was fighting with the beast, cough cough, what's the matter with waking me up early in the morning?" Yu Zhiqian explained a little, but thinking that he was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it seemed that he didn't need to explain so much to his subordinates.
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has sent some uses, as well as Your Majesty's message!"
"Tell me, what did my dad say!"
"Your Highness not!"
Shen Wansan was taken aback by the title of Yu Zhiqian, Yu Zhiqian could be called so, because he was the prince and the emperor's son, and he was a house slave, if it was known, he might be beheaded.
"Okay, no one knows, those bastards of Jinyiwei still don't dare to come to the East Palace, let's say, what kind of message does my wise and martial emperor father have!"
"Your Majesty said, let you, do a good job!"
"Good job?"
Yu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, did his father mean to let himself open a restaurant? Did my father know about the overnight meeting last night to prepare for the opening of the restaurant?
"Well, I know, let's step aside, Fengxian, how many words have you written!"
"Your Highness, I've written more than two hundred!"
Lu Bu stared at a dark circle under his eyes, and replied to Yu Zhiqian weakly.
"Well, come on, it's dawn, time is running out!"
After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian immediately wrapped himself in the quilt and continued to sleep, if he didn't sleep at a good time, would he still get up to exercise and read?
When Yu Zhiqian woke up again, it was already three days old, and Lu Bu, who had been writing all night not far away, couldn't stand it, and was already asleep on the desk, with written notices piled up beside him.
"Hey, don't be reckless, look at you, one person has written so much!"
Yu Zhiqian shook his head, stretched his waist, and walked out of the study.
"That Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, King Qing, sent someone to send some things, he has already taught his subordinates a lesson about yesterday's incident, and that Su Can He has already dealt with it for you!"
"Huh? Eighth uncle? What was sent? ”
"Some gold and something else!"
"Eighth Uncle is atmospheric!"
Yu Zhiqian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, sending money directly to gold, and also dealing with Su Can, Yu Zhiqian touched his chin, full of pride.
But soon Yu Zhiqian noticed that something was wrong: "You said that the eighth uncle dealt with Su Can?" ”
"That's what I said!"
"Damn, go and send someone to find Zhang Xiaojing for me, pick a gift, I'll go see the eighth uncle, the eighth uncle has been in Chang'an recently?"
"There is a big festival at the end of the month, and the eighth prince came back ahead of schedule and now lives in Qingwangfu!"
"Eighth Uncle!"
Yu Zhiqian's eyes narrowed, not knowing if this incident was a coincidence, or if the Eighth Prince deliberated.
If it's just a coincidence, then it's too much of a coincidence, my side has just been responsible for tracking down the fraud case in the imperial examination, and the only key certification of the case Su Can has been dealt with? Who will you go to again?
However, Yu Zhiqian quickly reacted, wasn't Su Can put in a water prison by Jing Ke? How was it dealt with?
Thinking of this, Yu Zhiqian's eyes rolled: "You go and prepare gifts first, find a place at the gate of King Qing's Mansion and wait for me, Zhang Xiaojing came just in time, go out with me!" ”
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he quickly left the East Palace with Zhang Xiaojing and rushed towards a place on the edge of the palace.
There is a mansion in the west of the palace city, without any plaque, on the edge of the imperial city, but the officials passing by are in a hurry and dare not stop, here is more terrifying than Dali Temple, like there is a cannibal demon in this mansion.
This is the yamen of Jinyiwei, but for some reasons, it is no longer listed, but as long as it is an official in the capital, no one knows it.
Yu Zhiqian took Zhang Xiaojing to this yamen, and as soon as he came to the door, the door opened directly, and Yang Xu, who was in charge of the second guard in brocade, greeted him directly: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Okay, don't be polite, take me to the water prison and go to see Su Can?"
"Su Can?" Yang Xu frowned and thought for a while.
"It's the guy who had a conflict with me in Fengyue Xiaozhu yesterday and was arrested by Jing Ke and thrown into death row! Won't Lord Yang not remember? ”
After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Yang Xu immediately understood who it was, but said with an embarrassed face: "His Royal Highness the Prince, someone took Su Can away yesterday?" ”
"Yesterday? Can someone take someone out of your Jinyi Guard's prison? ”
"Your Highness doesn't know that this Su Can is the eldest son of Su Haiping, the general of Annam, and what he committed is ......."
"It's a trivial matter to fight with Prince Ben, right, so if someone comes to vouch for it, you just let it go, right?"
"Your Highness is angry!"
"Okay, I know, you Jinyiwei are really selfless and ruthless, hum!" After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Yu Zhiqian didn't blame Jinyiwei in his heart, Yang Xu was right, Su Can's father was a general with heavy troops, and his son was imprisoned in Jinyiwei in the capital because of a fight with the prince in Qinglou, which had a bad impact, if he was provoked by someone with a heart, what if his father's brain was pumped and he raised troops to rebel?
Yu Zhiqian is not worried about this matter now, but behind the scenes, if the people behind the scenes are ruthless, kill Su Can, blame themselves, and then pass the news to Su Can's father, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhiqian immediately rushed back to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, Yang Xu saw Yu Zhiqian go and return, and immediately knelt down again.
"Yang Xu, tell Jing Ke that if Su Can dies, let him think about the consequences for himself!"
After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian left again, and at this time, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on Yang Xu's head, and he was so touched by Yu Zhiqian, and he immediately thought of a possibility.
"Quick, immediately send someone to find out where Su Can is, send someone to protect it, and report the news to Lord Jing!"
"Yes!"
Yu Zhiqian left Jinyiwei with a dark face, Zhang Xiaojing followed on the side, and at this time he suddenly saw a few patrolling catchers on the street: "Your Highness, maybe I can also help?" ”
"Oh?"
"Big head, you guys come here!"
"Zhang Tou, I heard yesterday that you were released, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
After seeing Zhang Xiaojing, a few catchers immediately ran over excitedly, and Zhang Xiaojing nodded: "How are you guys doing?" ”
"Zhang Tou, after you went in, we had a good time, and the brothers missed the days with you!"
"I'll have a chance to drink with my brothers, but there's something I need your help with right now!"
The man called the big head immediately patted his chest: "Zhang Tou, your business is our business, if there is anything, you can say it directly!" ”
"Childe, I told you!" After Zhang Xiaojing finished speaking, he looked at Yu Zhiqian.
Yu Zhiqian nodded, although Jinyiwei's hands and eyes are all over the sky, but Zhang Xiaojing's group of people is not bad, as long as Su Can is in Chang'an City, they are not slower than Jinyiweicha.
"Go check a person named Su Can, see where this guy is, and tell me immediately after you find out!"
"Su Can?" Datou muttered the name for a moment: "Zhang Tou, are there any other characteristics?" There should be a lot of people with this name! ”
"Recently, I was admitted to the Jinshi, a native of Lingnan, and my father is General Annan, by the way, I was in the Fengyue Xiaozhu yesterday, and you should be able to get a portrait if you go to the Fengyue Xiaozhu to ask!"
Hearing this, Yu Zhiqian shook his head: "Don't go to Fengyue Xiaozhu to inquire!" ”
Zhang Xiaojing glanced at Yu Zhiqian, but instantly understood what Yu Zhiqian meant: "You don't need to go to Fengyue Xiaozhu, is this news enough?" ”
"I'm a little impressed by this person!"
"If you're in Chang'an, find it out for me, and I'll go to the Prince's Mansion to inform me later!"
"Prince's Mansion!"
Zhang Xiaojing nodded: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the side!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Chang'an Wannian County patrolling Zhou Hai has seen His Highness!"
"Okay, do what Zhang Xiaojing said, can you find it?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, you will do your best!"
"Go ahead!"
"Yes!"
Several catchers quickly disappeared into the street, Yu Zhiqian's face was still a little unsightly, he was very unhappy in his heart, someone was calculating him, I don't know if it was deliberately aimed at him, anyway, it doesn't feel good to be calculated.
"Now where are we going, Your Highness!"
"Go to Qingwangfu, go see my Uncle Wang!"
Now Yu Zhiqian is still thinking about whether his eighth uncle has anything to do with this matter, but it seems that none of the people called King Qing are good people, basically there will be King Qing in the rebellion in film and television dramas, and he especially likes to engage in intrigues.
"Yes!"
Soon Yu Zhiqian took Zhang Xiaojing to Qingwang's mansion, Shen Wansan had already prepared the gift in front of the mansion, Yu Zhiqian nodded, and let him follow behind.
King Qing's Mansion is not very far from the palace, and King Qing was also one of the princes that the emperor liked, so the mansion was not too far from the palace, and Shen Wansan kept introducing King Qing's situation to Yu Zhiqian.
King Qing and his cheap father Yu Ye are from the same mother, and the relationship is very good, and King Qing made a lot of efforts when his father ascended the throne, so King Qing is now the most comfortable one among all Yu Zhiqian's uncles, and he can go wherever he wants.
If you want to go back to Chang'an, you can say hello to your father directly, the fiefdom is not far from Chang'an, and I love business on weekdays, and there are many industries in Chang'an.
Just came to the gate of King Qing's mansion, what Yu Zhiqian saw was a group of officials lining up to visit, Yu Zhiqian squinted his eyes and glanced at these people, silently remembering it in his heart.
King Qing doesn't look like an ambitious prince, after all, he helped his father ascend to the throne back then.
However, a prince who has no ambition, in the capital, there are so many officials to place, obviously, it is not in line with the style of King Xiaoyao.
"What do these people do?"
"Your Highness doesn't know that in the big festival at the end of the month, there may be changes about the marquis, these people want to take advantage of this opportunity to find King Qing, hoping that King Qing can say a few kind words in front of His Majesty and keep his title."
"Doesn't my father care?"
"Your Majesty should know about this, every time King Qing receives a gift, he will give a large part to His Majesty!" When Shen Wansan said this, he felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately shut up.
"How do you know?"
"Rumors!"
"Is it really a rumor?"
Yu Zhiqian's eyes narrowed again, King Qing accepted the gift, and then divided most of it to his father, and then the matter was not done, what will he think after these family feats?
Thinking of this, the more Yu Zhiqian felt that this King Qing was not simple, not like the kind of prince who didn't ask about the world as rumored, but like an old fox, plotting something.
