Chapter 225 The Imperial Tomb
After Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang left, Han Qian had been in Ningxianglou in the afternoon to pay attention to the wind and grass in the city, and when it was close to dusk, Shen Yang sent someone to come over to find him.
Shen Yang was waiting in the hall of the Dongfu Public Hall, and Han Qian walked in and saw Zheng Hui and Wang Lin also sitting in the public hall drinking tea.
Seeing Han Qian walk in, Shen Yang suppressed his voice and said: "It is a crime for the Feng family to cut down trees and cause the mountain to collapse and crush the craftsmen who repair the tomb, but how to convict it, the court has its own laws. As courtiers, even if we can't dissuade Your Majesty from destroying the law as you like, we shouldn't have the mind to fish in troubled waters! Otherwise, this is definitely not the blessing of Great Chu! ”
Han Qian smiled bitterly, he didn't refute Shen Yang, in fact, Shen Yang was right, the whole thing everyone was speculating about Emperor Tianyou's mind and thinking about whether there were any benefits in it, no one thought of dealing with it with the law of Great Chu, this was definitely not the blessing of Great Chu.
If Emperor Tianyou really wants to take the Feng family this time, his thoughts are still too obvious, although there will be people who gloat at the government and the opposition, more people will only feel that the rumors are loud, which makes the existing contradictions more tense.
However, if Emperor Tianyou thinks that everything is under his control and is determined to do everything according to his will, who runs to advise at this time, isn't it asking for his own life?
What Han Qian has worked hard in the past two years to change is the tragic fate of his father being killed by the cane in the court, and he being torn apart by the car in the city, he will not do other useless work, all he has to do is to make as many preparations as possible when the situation is really about to collapse.
Han Qian also had no way to refute Shen Yang's questioning, because Shen Yang really wasn't wrong, Shen Yang should have realized at this time that Emperor Tianyou was stubborn and was actually on the verge of getting out of control.
Seeing that Han Qian was silent, Shen Yang also sat back behind the case quite dejectedly.
Although Han Qian felt a little embarrassed, he was curious in his heart about how Shen Lan had just come back from outside the city and knew about it so quickly.
Han Qian glanced at Wang Lin, saw that he was looking at his nose and nose, his nose was looking at his heart, his face was upright, he cleared his throat, looked at Zheng Hui and asked, "Lord Zheng, you accompanied His Royal Highness into the palace, did you also come to Your Majesty?" ”
"Well," Zheng Hui nodded, and said, "Your Majesty learned about the collapse of the Imperial Mausoleum Mountain, and was furious, and summoned Zong Zhengqing Yang Tai and Yang En, the official of the Right School, into the palace to question them. After that, Chen Sima and I left the palace first, and His Royal Highness asked the concubine to stay in the palace for dinner. ”
When Emperor Tianyou was ten years old, Emperor Tianyou issued an edict to repair the emperor's mausoleum in Jiming Mountain, and Jingxiang was already in his pocket at that time, and repairing the mausoleum for himself should also be put on the agenda.
Emperor Tianyou began to be modest, and put the matter of repairing the tomb under the jurisdiction of the right school office of the general supervisor, and only requisitioned 3,000 officials and slaves to quarry in Jiming Mountain to open the mountain and repair the tomb road.
In the past four years, no matter how sufficient the treasury has been to pay for food, the number of slaves and maidservants requisitioned for the construction of the tomb has not exceeded 10,000.
In addition to the fact that Emperor Tianyou started from the end of the micro and was quite sympathetic to the people's feelings, he still had enough confidence in his body, and he didn't feel that repairing the tomb was a matter of urgency.
Whether it is the reference book of the imperial official Zhang Han or the reference book of the three princes, even if Emperor Tianyou wants to take the Feng family, he must first call Zong Zhengqing, who is specifically responsible for supervising his affairs, and Yang Tai, the only remaining elder of the Yang family who is a generation older than Emperor Tianyou, and Yang En, the right school officer who is specifically responsible for supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum, into the palace to inquire about the details.
Han Qian guessed that Shen Yang could know the details so quickly, it should be that Yang En found him after leaving the palace.
Everyone is a smart person, and when this first appeared, they all realized that something was wrong.
"If Feng Wenlan really has a way to die, then it is natural for His Majesty to take the Feng family under the knife," Wang Lin suddenly looked at Han Qian at this time and said, "Lord Han is friendly with the Feng family, and he has controlled the Zuo Division for more than a year, so he must know the details of the Feng family better than outsiders, right?" ”
"Lord Wang said with a smile," Han Qian said with his eyes curled, staring at Wang Linpi and smiling, "Han is young and inactive, and the so-called Zuo Si is just a player, what can you know?" ”
Feng Wenlan traded with them, on the condition that after the third prince ascended the throne, the Feng family could recover and rise again, so at this time, he could copy the Feng family's house, but the crime could not be condemned to death.
If the Feng family is now convicted of a heinous crime, what reason will the third prince have to reinstate the Feng family after he ascends the throne?
Of course, politics has always been dirty, and the purpose of the county king's mansion this time is to secretly obtain some of the resources in the hands of the Feng family, and it may not necessarily fulfill its promise to the Feng family in the future.
Wang Lin has no friendship or involvement with the Feng family, and he advocates that Zuo Si continue to collect evidence of the Feng family's crimes before the Imperial Tomb case, and completely confirm the Feng family's crimes, so naturally there is no psychological pressure.
However, Wang Lin said it easily, but unless Feng Wenlan secretly did something else behind their backs, Han Qian would not respond to this matter.
If Feng Wenlan cooperates with this side well, what good will it do him if he takes action to completely kill the Feng family?
Wang Lin could expect Han Qian to refuse, he looked at Shen Yang and asked, "Lord Shen, what do you think?" ”
Seeing that Wang Lin instigated Shen Yang to put pressure on him, Han Qian snorted coldly and said, "It's not early, forgive Han Qian for not accompanying the three adults here, if there is anything, wait for His Highness to come back from the palace." He stood up directly, shook his sleeves and walked out of the public hall with his hands behind his back.
Wang Lin's white face turned red, he didn't expect Han Qian to give him face so much, and complained to Shen Lan and Zheng Hui: "I am also for the good of His Highness, and Lord Han may not be too unsympathetic." ”
Zheng Hui snorted, stood up and said goodbye to Shen Yang: "If there is nothing to do, I will retire first." ”
…………
…………
Han Qian returned to Lanting Lane, Feng Yi and Kong Xirong were still in a panic, and the manpower sent by Gao Shao and the hidden piles lurking in various mansions did not send any abnormal information back.
Han Qian appeased Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, and in the early morning of the next day, he and Xi Ying went out of the city dressed as beggars, ran to Jiming Ridge, climbed from the back mountain to find the site of the mausoleum, and saw that the collapse of the mountain had been blocked by a team of guards.
However, there is more than one collapse, there is also a stream that should be a heavy rain on the eve of the mountain collapsed and the water was blocked by the mud and rocks that collapsed from the mountain, causing the torrent to be diverted and rushed into the Xiuling camp, and there was a village at the foot of the mountain that was washed away by the sudden flash flood, and at this time the whole village was still soaked in the water, and there were many corpses of people or pigs, sheep, chickens and cows floating in the turbid water, which was miserable.
Of course, these are not mentioned in the reference book of the imperial official Zhang Han, perhaps Zhang Han feels that these are far less serious than the destruction of the imperial tomb under construction.
Jiming Ridge is the back garden of Shengzhou (Jinling) festival envoy in the former dynasty, a hundred years of mountain closure and forestry, the mountains are full of big trees, selected as the site of the imperial mausoleum, in addition to the feng shui theory, also mainly consider the convenience of taking wood on the spot.
In the past three or four years, the vast majority of the timber used in the construction of the tomb has been cut from Jimingling, in fact, it is difficult to define how much of it is illegal logging and stealing wood in collusion between inside and outside.
Han Qian looked for a gap during the day, took Xi Ying to touch the situation before and after Jimingling, and returned to the city at night.
Han Qian returned to the backyard of Ning Xiang Building, and as soon as he sat down, before he could change out of his tattered and sour clothes, Tian Cheng ran over to him, saying that the third prince was in a hurry to see him, and he had already sent someone to Jinyun Tower to ask him a few times, so he sent someone out of the city to find him.
Han Qian didn't know what had happened, so he hurriedly rushed into his casual robe, walked through the side door into the public hall of the East Courtyard, and saw the third prince sitting in the public hall with everyone, waiting for him to come over.
Since Shen Yang already knew about the excerpt, he didn't have to hide his face from it, and in addition to Guo Rong being ostracized, Zhang Ping and Li Chong were also present.
"Father's reaction is much weaker than expected, what do you think is going on?" Seeing Han Qian coming in, Yang Yuanpu grabbed Han Qian a little uncomfortably and asked.
Han Qian asked and learned that Emperor Tianyou summoned Feng Wenlan into the palace before this afternoon and reprimanded him, but he did not mean to embarrass Feng Wenlan, but only ordered Zong Zhengqing Yang Tai to be responsible for investigating the private felling and destruction of the mountain, and after the investigation was clear, it would be dealt with according to the system.
This is completely different from what everyone expected, and even Feng Wenlan himself.
If the Feng family was gently slapped on the board a few times at the end, then they were excited like that yesterday, wouldn't it be a joke?
It's better to serve the imperial history Zhang Han when he visits Feng Wenlan, and they come forward to protect it!
Seeing everyone sitting there with sad faces speculating about Emperor Tianyou's thunderous scheming, Han Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, secretly thinking that this might be the embodiment of absolute strength, their strength was too weak, and even their emotions were completely affected by Emperor Tianyou's unpredictable will.
Even if Emperor Tianyou became more and more rigid and self-serving, he did not lose his mind, knowing the complexity of the matter, it was impossible to just know that something had happened to the Imperial Mausoleum, like a mad dog, biting Feng Wenlan's family to death on the spot!
However, when everyone pinned more hopes for the succession on the personal will of Emperor Tianyou, it was normal for them to have such gains and losses.
To be honest, Han Qian couldn't get rid of the interference of this negative emotion.
Of course, this may also be a test for Emperor Tianyou on their side.
"Your Highness has the heart to share your Majesty's worries, which is filial piety, and how Your Majesty wants to deal with this matter, we should not speculate." Han Qian persuaded the third prince.
Yang Yuanpu looked at the others with some uncertainty, he trusted Han Qian very much, but he didn't have the kind of state of mind that could let go of gains and losses, of course, it was difficult to comprehend the essence of Han Qian's words.
"We'd better wait and see what happens." Shen Yang sighed lightly and said.
Wang Lin originally wanted to say something, but seeing that Shen Yang agreed with Han Qian's words, he didn't want to say anything more.
"What did Feng Wenlan say over there?" Yang Yuanpu looked at Han Qian and asked.
They were counting on the Feng family to transfer a batch of goods in advance before they were really convicted and raided, but now that the situation has become confusing, it is difficult to say.
"I'll go to see Feng Wenlan at night to see what the Feng family means, if they don't want to, let's not act rashly for the time being, everything will be done according to His Majesty's will." Han Qian thought that Emperor Tianyou's attitude was ambiguous, Feng Wenlan might have a trace of luck, and he didn't think that it was a good strategy to force the Feng family to be too anxious at this time, so he could only suggest that the third prince slow down his pace at this time.
"Okay then." Yang Yuanpu had some gains and losses, but Han Qian and Shen Yang said so, and he could only press his impatient temperament first.
