Chapter 247: The Edict
"Thank you for your pity!" Shen knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Zhang Lingyang.
Zhang Lingyang wanted to step forward to help, but he was avoided by the Shen family again, "The concubine is tired, so she will retire first!" ”
"It's okay, you can rest at home these days, and when I am free in a few days, I will look for you again!" Zhang Lingyang comforted Shen twice, and then ordered someone to carry a soft sedan chair and send Shen back to Anguo Mansion.
Shen's spirit was a little trance today, Zhang Lingyang knew in his heart that Shen had been tossing in the criminal department for a long time today, and he was shocked and frightened, and it was normal for him to be in a trance, so he didn't care too much......
In the yamen of the Criminal Department, Gao Pei had long lost the vigor of the morning, and sat there motionless with his head down.
It wasn't until I heard the chaotic shouts outside that I got up to look.
saw that Han Xiao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was walking towards himself with people.
At this moment, the entire yamen of the Criminal Department has been surrounded by Jinyi Guard.
"Gao Shangshu, please!" Seeing Gao Pei, Han Xiao didn't say hello, and went straight to the point.
Gao Pei nodded, struggled to get up from the chair, and walked out step by step, up and down, showing Long Zhong's old state.
As early as when Sun Sheng came over, Gao Pei had already realized that he had caused a big disaster, so he didn't feel the slightest surprise when he saw Han Xiao.
Gao Pei also figured out why Li Guangtai hurriedly left the yamen of the Criminal Department at the first sight of Shen.
This is obviously because Li Guangtai already knew about the relationship between Shen and Zhang Lingyang, and deliberately dug a pit for himself and let himself deliberately jump into it.
At the same time, Gao Pei also understood how deep the water in the court was.
He has served as the governor of Liangguang for many years, and he has always said the same thing in the local area.
But what kind of place is the capital?
After Gao Pei entered Beijing, he didn't know how to restrain himself, but became more and more arrogant.
Among them, there are many reasons for relying on their daughter Gao Guifei, and more of them are afraid of the deliberate connivance of other ministers.
In order to pull Gao Pei off the horse.
Just like Gao Pei relied on Gao Pei after entering Beijing, Gao Pei also relied on the concubine's biggest reliance in the court.
Now that Gao Pei has fallen, Concubine Gao's life in the harem is not easy.
Although, relying on the fact that she is the biological mother of the second prince Zhao Han, the noble concubine does not have any worries about her life in the harem, but the second prince Zhao Han is only afraid that he will no longer be able to take the position of prince.
"Since I'm already like this, then don't think about your life well!" Thinking of Zheng Yongji, Zhu Kaishan, Li Guangtai and others' faces on weekdays, Gao Pei's eyes gradually became firm.
When he came to Jinyi Wei Prison, Gao Pei sat motionless on the straw mat, but his heart was extremely sober.
Yes, since Concubine Gao gave birth to the second prince, Gao Pei's life has been in a mess, and it was not until this moment that his mind completely sobered up.
Too underestimated enemy, careless, and no one in sight...... After Gao Pei entered Beijing, he had many problems.
But that doesn't mean Gao Pei is a bastard.
If Gao Pei was really so unbearable, he would not have been able to achieve the high position of the governor of Liangguang by himself before.
In the final analysis, it was Gao Pei himself who was blinded by power.
Now that he has come to his senses, he naturally has to plan for his family, especially his daughter Gao Guifei.
In the cells around them, there were cries and begging for mercy, only in Gao Pei's cell, Gao Pei sat there motionless, thinking quietly in his heart.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a feudal official!" Jin Yiwei's commander Han Xiao couldn't help but admire when he saw Gao Pei's calm appearance.
Many ministers in the DPRK and China, after entering the edict of Jinyiwei, are as calm as Gao Pei, not that there are none, but they are rarely seen.
"Open the prison door!" Glancing at the jailer, Han Xiao ordered him to open the cell door, then walked to Gao Pei and stood still, and asked, "Gao Shangshu, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Naturally!" Gao Pei came back to his senses, looked up and glanced at Han Xiao with a chuckle, and said, "I'm afraid that the old man is going to say these things, it's better for Commander Han not to listen to them!" ”
"Oh?" Han Xiao was slightly surprised, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and there are not a few important ministers of the court who are arrested, what is there that the lower officials can't listen to?" ”
"That's it!" Seeing that Han Xiao insisted on listening, Gao Pei said in his heart: "Han Xiao is the eyes and ears of His Majesty, and he has nothing to do with the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”
After thinking about it, Gao Pei said: "The old man wants to say that the matter of the Shen family today, the old man was deceived by someone, I don't know if Commander Han can be trusted?" ”
"Of course!" Han Xiao chuckled lightly and said, "What Gao Shangshu wants to say is that Li Guangtai, the imperial historian of Zuodu, suddenly 'got sick' this morning, right?" ”
"Turns out, you know!" Seeing Han Xiao say this, Gao Pei showed a look of surprise on his face.
"Otherwise, Gao Shangshu thinks that His Majesty would know the news that the Shen family was escorted into the yamen of the Criminal Department so quickly?" Han Xiao said lightly.
It turned out that Jinyiwei's secret agents were all over the six departments and Jiuqing, and as soon as Shen was arrested by the Three Law Divisions, Jinyiwei knew the news, and Han Xiao did not hesitate to enter the palace to report to Zhang Lingyang.
Otherwise, Sun Sheng would not have appeared so timely.
But the old man couldn't understand, since Commander Han knew about this, why didn't he stop the old man at that time? Could it be that Commander Han is in the same league as Li Guangtai and others? Gao Pei asked.
Han Xiao sneered and said, "Even if you borrow a few more guts, the lower officials will not dare to do anything to collude with the ministers of the DPRK and China."
In fact, all of this is arranged by His Majesty! ”
"Could it be that Gao Shangshu still thinks that His Majesty is really mediocre and incompetent, and he doesn't know what Zheng Yongji, Li Guangtai and Gao Shangshu have done?" Han Xiao scoffed.
"Where do you start?" Gao Pei wondered.
"How many bribes has Gao Shangshu received over the years? Do you still want to go out one by one? Han Xiao's face was pale, "If it weren't for the Shen family's matter, in fact, Your Majesty would not want to ask Gao Shangshu for his guilt so quickly." ”
"yes!" Gao Pei sighed and said, "It's just the old man's own death, and he can't complain about others!" ”
Suddenly, Gao Pei's tone changed, and he asked: "But Li Guangtai obviously knows the relationship between the Shen family and His Majesty, but he suddenly 'called sick', could it be that Your Majesty really doesn't mind at all?"
Besides, the old man didn't believe that Zheng Yongji and others didn't play a role in this! ”
"It seems that Gao Shangshu has not been completely blinded by power!" Han Xiao nodded and said, "What you said, Jinyi Wei knows it, and he also returned to His Majesty."
But Your Majesty has Your Majesty's ideas, as for how to do it, as a courtier, it is better not to put your beak! ”
