Chapter 12 Dispatch of the Frontier

Seeing that Jiuhuang didn't speak for a long time, just when Zhao Xuan thought that what he said was too abrupt, Jiuhuang finally spoke: "If the third prince has any requirements for the Xu Mansion, he can say it, as long as the Xu Mansion can do it." ”

When Zhao Xuan heard Jiuhuang's words, he was stunned at first, and then he understood what Jiuhuang meant, and said with a smile: "Since the county lord said so, then first owe me a condition, and when I need the county lord's help, I will come and propose it to the county lord." ”

Hearing this, the feeling in Jiuhuang's heart that seemed to be pinched by someone was also put aside.

Looking at Zhao Xuan, who was sitting on the side and tasting tea indifferently, Jiuhuang said: "That Jiuhuang also thanked the three princes for their help. ”

Jiuhuang accepted Zhao Xuan's help, and the two finally discussed, and Zhao Xuan sent someone to Jiangnan to find out the truth; And Jiuhuang stayed in Shangjing to stabilize the mastermind behind the manipulation of this matter.

In fact, the most important thing is that Jiuhuang understands what Zhao Xuan said before, if she really leaves Shangjing, then before she can find out the evidence that her father-in-law was framed, the Xu Mansion will face decline.

She knew that since the other party had slandered her father-in-law, how could they let go of the Xu Mansion behind her father-in-law.

Therefore, Jiuhuang will accept Zhao Xuan's help in a helpless situation.

"Although my father sent Zhou Xiong, the young secretary of Dali Temple, to investigate this matter, in my opinion, we still have to investigate ourselves, so as to avoid emergencies."

Zhao Xuan told Jiuhuang Dao in detail what happened in the court today.

Jiuhuang heard Zhao Xuan's words and nodded, she had a feeling that the results of the Dali Temple were all the evidence of the righteous father's greed for ink.

Just as Zhao Xuan and Jiuhuang guessed.

After a period of three days.

Zhou Xiong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was ordered by Emperor Zhao Yun to find out the truth about Xu Yang's greed for ink in the Ministry of Rites within three days.

Today is the last day of the three-day period.

In the early dynasty, Zhou Xiong took a lot of evidence he found out and played Emperor Zhao Yun.

"Zhou Xiong, the young secretary of the Dali Temple, has something to play, and the corruption of Xu Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the fact, this is the evidence found by the minister."

Zhao Yun sat upright, hearing Zhou Xiong's words, a pair of eagle eyes stared at Zhou Xiong's body, looking at the stack of folds held high in his hand, Zhao Yun motioned to the eunuch next to him to present the two folds.

Zhao Yun still didn't believe it and asked Zhou Xiong again, "Is this really evidence of Xu Yang's greed for ink?" ”

Although he had doubts, Zhao Yun also knew that Zhou Xiong would not dare to deceive himself.

Zhou Xiong suddenly heard Zhao Yun's words, and couldn't help but be shocked, and then said in a sincere panic: "The minister doesn't dare to deceive the emperor." ”

Seeing Zhou Xiong say this, Zhao Yun didn't speak, and after glancing at Zhou Xiong, he moved his gaze to the fold that was placed on the dragon table by the eunuch.

The letter will be opened suspiciously.

It doesn't matter if you look at this, the more you look at Zhao Yun, the more angry the anger on her face becomes.

With a "snap", Zhao Yun threw the music in his hand towards the main hall.

The ministers of the DPRK and China, who suddenly heard the voice, rarely saw Zhao Yun's anger, and were shocked by Zhao Yun's anger for a while.

Even if he was shocked by Zhao Yun's sudden anger, he couldn't stop the pride in the hearts of the courtiers who were not optimistic about Xu Yang.

Zhao Yun's anger now is indescribable, thinking about what he saw just now.

In his eyes, even in the eyes of the people of the whole heavenly court, Xu Yang, who has always been diligent and thrifty, can get tens of thousands of taels or even greedy ink from Jiangnan every year.

The year before last, when there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, Xu Yang actually transferred nearly tens of thousands of taels of silver from the disaster relief funds to his own pocket, and he kept shouting poverty in front of him and even in front of the people of the Celestial Empire.

Such an official has been lurking under his nose without being discovered, which hurts his face to Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Celestial Empire.

Without thinking about it, Zhao Yun said directly to Zhou Xiong: "Zhou Xiong, the young secretary of Dali Temple, listened to the order, and Xu Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, gave bribes and accepted bribes, embezzled ink disaster funds, and immediately dismissed and investigated, and issued border customs after the autumn." ”

"Wow"

Zhao Yun's words instantly caused an uproar in the ears of the courtiers.

"The emperor is wise!"

When Taishi Yang heard Zhao Yun's words, his heart was already happy, Xu Yang, Xu Yang, you still fell into my hands after all.

After Yang Jin's words fell, the courtiers who followed Yang Jin's party or were afraid of Yang Jin seconded the proposal one after another, saying, "The emperor is wise. ”

And the courtiers who have always supported Mei Lane of the Hanlin Academy and Taifu Yuan Quan and other courtiers who stand on Xu Yang's side have always been unwilling to believe that Xu Yang will be greedy for ink.

It's just that the evidence is in front of them, or it is found out by Dali Temple, a few days Yuan Quan Mei Lane and others don't want to believe it, and in the face of ironclad evidence, they can only sigh in their hearts.

Subsequently, the evidence of Xu Yang's greed for ink was conclusive, and the matter of issuing the frontier after the autumn was quickly spread to Xufu, and even spread throughout the entire Shangjing City.

In the Xu Mansion, the Ling family, who heard the emperor's will, couldn't bear Xu Yang's final result, and fainted in the front hall.

After hearing the will, Jiuhuang was shocked in his heart.

Seeing the Ling family who passed out beside him, Jiuhuang helped the Ling family into the room, and then hurriedly left the Xu Mansion and walked towards the mansion of the three princes.

Zhao Xuan knew that the news of Xu Yang's assignment had already reached the Xu Mansion, and he was waiting for the arrival of Jiuhuang.

"Is there anything going on?"

Zhao Xuan asked the guards waiting beside him in a light tone.

"Please also ask the master to give me two more days, there is news from Jiangnan, I believe that we will be able to find out what we want in these two days."

Hearing the guard's answer, Zhao Xuan nodded with a little satisfaction and hummed softly.

Then he seemed to remember something again, and asked, "How did you find out about the previous incident?" ”

When the guards heard Zhao Xuan's questioning, they knew that he was asking about our assassination, and then said: "Our people finally chased them to the vicinity of the Taishi Mansion and disappeared. ”

Hearing the guard's words, Zhao Xuan did not say anything.

Near the Taishi Mansion, is it a coincidence or not?

Just as Zhao Xuan was thinking about it, the housekeeper suddenly came to report and said, "Master, the lord of Jiuhuang County is asking to see you outside the mansion." ”

It's finally here! Zhao Xuan heard the butler's report and said, "Invite the county lord into the book...... Vestibule. ”

Zhao Xuan, who was accustomed to discussing rituals in the study, almost said the words of inviting Jiuhuang into the study.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he thought of a woman in Jiuhuang, and if he was found alone in a room with him, it would definitely affect Jiuhuang's reputation.

Even if Zhao Xuan understood that the people in the Three Princes' Mansion were all loyal to him, he was afraid that if this matter was spread out, Jiuhuang's reputation would be damaged.

Therefore, after noticing that something was wrong with the words, he changed the study into a vestibule.

After the housekeeper received the order to invite Jiuhuang, Zhao Xuanfuer said to the guards beside him: "Send someone to continue to investigate this matter." ”

The guard seemed to remember something after Zhao Xuan's words, and said: "Master, there is one more thing, in addition to the fact that we also found that someone checked again, our people fought each other ruthlessly. ”

When Zhao Xuan heard this, he looked at the guard suspiciously, "Can you find out who the other party is?" ”

That night happened too suddenly. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Xuan and the others had been observing, they wouldn't have known the direction of the assassin's escape.

In such a chaotic scene, there were still people who could observe the direction of the assassin, which made Zhao Xuan's heart suspicious.

The guard shook his head and said, "The other party's skills are between us and us, or higher, and our people have not yet found out which side they are." ”

After listening to the guard's answer, after a moment of silence, he said, "Continue to investigate, it is best to find out whether the other party is friend or foe." ”

After the words fell, Zhao Xuan's body stood up from the Taishi chair under him, and walked outside Zhang's study.

In the front hall, Jiuhuang was anxiously waiting for Zhao Xuan's figure.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, I finally saw Zhao Xuan's figure appear outside the door of the front hall.

Ignoring etiquette, Jiuhuang stood up from the stool and walked towards Zhao Xuan.

Looking at the figure coming towards him in his eyes, Zhao Xuan suddenly felt in a good mood and said to Jiuhuang: "Let the county lord wait for a long time." ”

Jiuhuang's heart was now worried about Xu Yang's affairs, and he smiled perfunctorily at Zhao Xuan, and said: "Jiuhuang came rashly, there are many disturbances, and I hope the third prince will forgive me." ”

While they were talking, the figures of the two had already walked to the living room.

Zhao Xuan sat on the main seat, looked at the worry on Jiuhuang's face, and without waiting for Jiuhuang to ask him, he said: "The county lord can wait for two more days, there is still some time before the time to distribute the frontier, and the time must be enough." ”

When Jiuhuang heard Zhao Xuan's words, a trace of shock appeared on his face, and then he calmed down again.

Zhao Xuan is the prince, he is no longer crooked, he is not the third prince who was not remembered by the courtiers and even the people of the Celestial Empire, he is now a prince with military merits.

has already gone from obscurity to an important member of the court, and the father-in-law was ordered to be sent to the frontier to be exiled, how could Zhao Xuan, who was in the court, not know.

As for his coming to the Prince's Mansion, Jiuhuang knew that Zhao Xuanding had already known that he would come to the Mansion to ask him, so he was not surprised when he saw him, and even said such a thing before he explained his intention.

Jiuhuang, who understood this, then spoke, and said, "But how can the evidence found in Dali Temple be...?" ”

Jiuhuang didn't say the next words, but she knew that Zhao Xuan must have guessed what her unspoken words were.

Even the evidence found out in Dali Temple was the fact that the father-in-law was greedy for ink, and Jiuhuang's heart was uneasy.

When Zhao Xuan heard Jiuhuang's words, he didn't answer her positively, but looked at Jiuhuang and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the evidence found out by Dali Temple, the county lord also believes that Lord Xu's greed for ink is a fact?" ”

Zhao Xuan asked unhurriedly, he knew that Jiuhuang could say this, because he was too worried about Xu Yang, so he let her be in it.

When Jiuhuang heard Zhao Xuan's words, he couldn't help but reply: "I never believed that my father-in-law would be greedy for ink." ”

After the words came out, Jiuhuang understood what Zhao Xuan meant, and then Jiuhuang thought about the whole thing.
