Chapter 13 The So-Called Butterfly Effect
Many times, the occurrence of some big events is often caused by some inconspicuous little things, but no one paid attention to them at the time.
Gao Ya is a wicked gentleman, even if he is killed on the street, it is just a criminal case, but this matter was done by Zhao Yan, the prince, himself, and it will inevitably be mixed with some more sensitive things.
Just when Zhao Yan was thinking hard about how to rescue Lin Chong, Liu Xiantang, the young Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, was also in the study of the Duke of Wei, reporting to Cai Jing like a pug.
Cai Jing visited the prime minister several times, and was personally named the Duke of Wei and the Taishi by Emperor Huizong, although he gradually retreated to the second line due to physical reasons in recent years, he still firmly controlled the government.
Since the day of the accident, Liu Xiantang has been reporting the progress of the case to Cai Jing from time to time.
Those officials in Kaifeng Mansion may not have much power, but if you look down on these people, it is really a big mistake, because these people have the most contact with the people in the market on weekdays.
So what Zhao Yan did on the street, it didn't take long for it to be placed on Cai Jing's desk.
Zhao Yan didn't offend Cai Jing, but through this incident, he successfully attracted Cai Jing's attention to him, it turned out that there was such a strange thing among the princes?
The study was filled with a strong smell of herbs, because Cai Jing's eyes were not good, and the light in the room was relatively dim, standing in the study, there would always be a feeling of breathlessness.
Liu Xiantang finished reporting Zhao Yan's activities in the past few days to Cai Jingyu, and stood aside honestly.
"Send Lin Chong to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion"
Cai Jing's words are not many, but every sentence must have a deep meaning.
Listening to the boss's words, Liu Xiantang couldn't help but look embarrassed, and said: "Captain Gao is very dissatisfied with the lower officials because of their handling of Brother Xiao Yan, and it is said that this Lin Chong has violated military discipline, and Kaifeng Mansion has come forward, I'm afraid it is..."
"Who said that Lin Chong only violated military discipline? You can do it according to the rules, and someone will do the rest."
Cai Jing said and waved his hand.
Liu Xiantang is also an old fritter, Cai Jing dialed it a little bit, and immediately knew what to do, seeing that Cai Jing had no other instructions, he hurriedly bowed and bowed and retreated.
"Father, are you here to support His Royal Highness King Yi?"
Cai Jing is not the only one in the study, his other son Cai Qian is also there.
Cai Jing's sons are all good at learning, because of Cai Jing's relationship, they also hold important positions in the court, and the eldest son has become a privy envoy and a scholar of Wenhua Palace, but it is a pity that this eldest son does not deal with Cai Jing, and is always thinking about replacing his father's position.
Because Cai Jing is not in good health, the person who is really in charge of the Cai family now is this second son Cai Xuan.
Listening to his son's words, Cai Jing sighed slightly, and said slowly: "The prince is dissatisfied with his father, if you want to keep my Cai family rich for a long time, there are some things that must be prepared in advance."
"Tomorrow morning, find a royal history to impeach Gao Yu for abusing lynching and flouting the law"
After Daddy said this, Cai Qian suddenly showed a sudden look, secretly admiring Daddy, it was really a scheming, in this case, Gao Yu would have to hand it over.
learned from Liu Xiantang's mouth what Zhao Yan did, and the Cai family's father and son's evaluation of Zhao Yan, the prince, was squirrel, impulsive, brainless, and had no political ambitions, such a person should be best controlled.
If such a person can replace the crown prince in the future, the Cai family can still continue to call for wind and rain in the court, but the premise is that he must first marry His Royal Highness King Yi, who is a bit of a tiger tide.
Oh, yes! If it weren't for the problem with his head, that prince would secretly deal with the gangsters in the market?
Zhao Yan suddenly found that there was a bit of a problem with Li Yan's idea of slashing Li Yan before, because bad people are not necessarily useless, for example, in the matter of rescuing Lin Chong, Li Yan must be more effective than him.
made up his mind and was about to go to the palace to find Li Yan, but he didn't want Li Yan to take the initiative to come to the door.
After listening to the guard's report, Zhao Yan rushed out to greet him as soon as possible, which flattered Li Yan a little, but he didn't show it on his face.
After bowing and saluting, he approached Zhao Yan and said softly: "Your Highness, you have to be mentally prepared, Your Majesty has recruited you into the palace, Your Highness thinks about it carefully, what have you done recently to make Your Majesty angry?" ”
Zhao Yan was taken aback, could it be that he was exposed so quickly? But I'm not ready yet!
"Thank you, Lord Li, someone just sent some souvenirs to this king yesterday, and when I turn around, this king will order someone to send them to your house."
"Huh! Your Highness is too polite, if there is nothing to do, let's enter the palace, Your Majesty is still waiting! ”
Zhao Yan is very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Li Yan's expression, he knew that it shouldn't be a big deal for the emperor's father to find him, if the things he did were exposed, Li Yan shouldn't be so easy, so what would it be?
At this time, I saw Li Yan looking left and right, and lowered his voice again: "The prince has just gone to look for Your Majesty."
"Prince?"
Zhao Yan seems to have realized something in his heart, but his relationship with Zhao Huan is not too stiff, this kid shouldn't sue himself for being black, right?
Shaking his head, he said in his heart that he would care, and he would just be able to improvise when he saw the emperor's father.
ordered someone to pull out his chariot, invited Li Yan to get into his carriage with him, and then ordered the coachman to drive to the palace.
"Master Li, there have been too many things in the past few days, and I haven't had a chance to explain to you what happened that night, and please don't be surprised, in fact, I was kidnapped that night"
Listening to Zhao Yan's words, Li Yan couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly said: "There is such a big thing, why doesn't anyone talk about it?" How did His Highness get out of trouble later? ”
"It was Lin Chong, the head of the forbidden army, who rescued me"...
Zhao Yan told Li Yan what happened that night, and finally said: "Now there is a problem, this king originally wanted to repay Lin Chong, but I heard that he violated military discipline and was sent to prison by Gao Taiwei, can Lord Li help this king think of a way, how to rescue Lin Chong?" ”
Zhao Yan's words are not untrue, but Li Yan is not a fool.
Everyone knows that under normal circumstances, Zhao Yan, as a prince and prince, wants to fish out his life-saving benefactor in the prison, which is not a difficult task, and even he can go directly to Gao Yu, but this His Royal Highness King Yi wants to ask others, is His Royal Highness King Yi thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask someone, or is there something else hidden?
This matter is actually not a difficult thing for Li Yan, but this guy is used to being unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and it is okay to help, but there must be a price.
Thinking of this, Li Yan deliberately frowned, and said: "That person is not very easy to talk to, if he alarms His Majesty, it seems to be a bit of a fuss, let me think about it, think about it..."
As soon as Zhao Yan looked at Li Yan's expression, he knew that the dead eunuch Leka was used to it, and everyone wanted to get some benefits, but this is not a problem, as long as he can save people, it seems that this guy shouldn't be short of silver, right?
As soon as he thought of this, another thought suddenly appeared in Zhao Yan's mind.
"This dead eunuch is in charge of the Xicheng Kuotian Office, and he has scavenged the people's fat and ointment, and must have accumulated a lot of silver, right? So where would he hide the silver? ”
