That brocade guard Xiaoqi was stunned when he heard Qian Yiai begging to see the emperor, in the past, Qian Yiai mostly came to visit the prince, or he entered the palace to see his concubine sister, and it was the first time to see the emperor today.

However, Qian Yiai's waist card was given by the emperor, and he could also see the emperor, so the small flag didn't say anything, and handed it to a small yellow door on the side to let him enter the report.

After a while, news came from the Kung Fu Palace that the emperor could see him.

Qian Yiai was overjoyed when he heard the news, he was afraid that the emperor would not see him, as long as he could see the emperor, there would be hope.

Zhu Hongsan had just finished lunch and sat in the room watching Qian Yiai come in and salute. Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, why did you come to see me today?" Didn't go to see your sister? ”

"Your Majesty, there are some things that Wei Chen wants to ask for His Majesty's help today!" Because of Lao Tzu Qian Qianyi, Qian Yiai has a reputation of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, that is, he enjoys the treatment of thousands of households, so he can be called a micro-minister when he sees the emperor.

Zhu Hongsan knew what he was going to do as soon as he heard Qian Yiai say this, but Zhu Hongsan was not ready to give him a chance to speak.

"Brother-in-law, you're here just in time, I have an interesting thing to tell you here!"

Zhu Hongsan began to talk to Qian Yiai, but he didn't let Qian Yiai speak.

Qian Yiai watched the emperor turn upside down and didn't let himself speak, and he was really anxious, but it was really disrespectful for the emperor to intervene when he spoke.

In the end, Qian Yihobby easily seized an opportunity for Zhu Hongsan to drink water, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to ask Your Majesty to pardon Chen today!" ”

Qian Yiai knows that the opportunity is not easy, there is no prefix, and he is directly nagging.

After listening to Qian Yiai, Zhu Hongsan put down the teacup and looked at Qian Yiai with a smile on his face.

Qian Yiai looked at the emperor and didn't say anything, his heart was a little hairy, he knew Zhu Hongsan, knew that this emperor was moody, and it was very likely that the next order would be to put himself in prison. But when Qian Yiai thought of the young son in the family, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to die to the end.

The emperor in the huge Wenhua Hall did not speak, and the guards and little eunuchs in the house did not speak, and there was no sound in the hall for a while.

There were eight tall Han generals standing at the gate of the Wenhua Palace, and they looked at Qian Yiai, and in their hearts, this emperor's brother-in-law was probably unlucky.

After a long while, Zhu Hongsan's laughter sounded in the hall: "Hey, hey, Qian Yiai, you are really bold!" In this way, you go to see Chen Zizhuang in the edict first! ”

Qian Yiai's heart tightened when he heard the emperor say this, he just wanted to intercede for his wife Chen, how could he think that the emperor would let him go to see Chen Zizhuang, did the emperor want to spare Chen Zizhuang? Qian Yiai knew that Chen Zizhuang was framed by Ma Mingyuan and put in prison, if the emperor pardoned Chen Zizhuang because of himself, Ma Mingyuan would definitely resent himself, and it was not good to be remembered by the head of the court. But in order to save his wife, there is no way, only to look at the present! Qian Yiai gritted his teeth, bowed down to accept the order, and went to the edict to visit Chen Zizhuang.

The Jinyi Wei Yamen is located in the Thousand Steps Corridor, but the official name of the Jinyi Wei Yamen is not called the Jinyi Wei Command Division, but the pro-army Governor's Mansion, the main function is "to drive the guards, patrol and arrest", and the head is called the Jinyi Wei Commander, so the pro-army Governor's Mansion is referred to as the Jinyi Guard.

Now the commander of Jinyiwei is Qian Lide, and Lao Qian, as the emperor's hair, naturally has a lot of power in his hands. In addition, Jinyiwei has become the actual military intelligence bureau, and there are strongholds of Jinyiwei in the northern and southern provinces, so Qian Lide is just a third-grade military attaché, but the power in his hands is not much worse than that of the cabinet elders.

Qian Yiai left the Wenhua Palace, and the little eunuch wrote the emperor's order into a decree, and then handed it to Qian Yiai. The ancient Chinese bureaucracy was no worse than that of later generations, and the emperor's orders had to be preserved in writing, and there was no oral edict in later TV dramas. Today, this is still a central decree, and only two copies are sufficient, one for the foreign court department and one for the palace archives for future search. If it is a holy decree, it is in triplicate, and one copy must be kept in the National Archives of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Qian Yiai came to the pro-army governor's mansion in the Qianbu Corridor with the middle decree, because he was now a Qincha in the actual sense, so he saw Qian Lide unimpeded.

Qian Lide heard that it was the emperor's decree, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the decree, and when he saw that Qian Yiai went to the edict to interrogate Chen Zizhuang, Qian Lide hurriedly said: "Please sit down for a while, and my subordinates will arrange it!" ”

Qian Lide shouted to the people outside: "Come on, go and call Wang Xian!" ”

After a while, Jin Yiwei commanded Tongzhi Wang Xian to enter the house, Wang Xian was demoted to a commander in Zhoushan Islands on behalf of Qian Lide, but Lao Qian Na could be sorry for his descendants, and when he went to Nanjing to interrogate the nobles of the previous dynasty, Wang Xian's official position was restored to that of the commander Tongzhi.

Wang Xian entered the room and said, "My lord, what is the matter with looking for subordinates?" ”

"Wang Xian, this is the son of the old Qian Ge, Qian Gongzi is ordered by His Majesty to go to the edict to ask Chen Zizhuang a few words, you accompany Qian Gongzi!"

Accompanying Qian Yiai didn't need the second-in-command of Jinyiwei at all, Qian Yiai heard Qian Lide say this, and quickly stood up and postponed: "Commander, how dare the kid bother with the Tongzhi Lord, it is enough to have a small colonel to guide the way!" ”

"Mr. Qian, we are not outsiders, aren't you still our Jinyiwei's thousand households, don't shirk. Wang Xian, you must protect Qian Gongzi, do you know? ”

In fact, Qian Lide didn't have to send Wang Xian, he mainly wanted to know what the emperor had to ask Chen Zizhuang.

Qian Yiai saw that it was postponed, so he had to agree to accompany Wang Xian.

Jinyiwei's edict is under the control of the Nanzhen Fu Division, not on the side of the imperial city, but near the Dingjiaqiao in the north city, which is far away from the downtown area, and is not afraid to spread it out with a punishment or something, and it is not far from the military camp, and there is also a care.

Qian Yiai accompanied by Wang Xian to the gate of the Imperial Prison, this is not a good place, there is no one around the gate for hundreds of meters, even if there are pedestrians passing by, it is far away.

In charge of the edict is the Jinyi Wei town envoy Zhao Mengguan, the old Zhao from Jiangxi made a great contribution to return to Guangdong, the emperor commended him for being promoted to the first level, from a thousand households to a pacification envoy. Although Zhao Mengguan became an official, he was not happy at all, because Wang Xian, who was also a thousand households, was directly promoted to three levels after he came back, became a commander and a fellow commander, and was in charge of the Nanzhen Fu Division, and became his superior.

But Zhao Mengguan can't help it, who called someone above Wang Xian? Wang Xian was born in the emperor's first batch of teaching regiments, a proper protégé of the Son of Heaven, and he is also the descendant of the commander Qian Lide, and he is completely incomparable.

Originally, Zhao Mengguan wanted to follow Chen Zizhuang's path, after all, Zhao Mengguan's hometown is in Dongguan, and Chen Zizhuang is half a fellow countryman. But how could he have thought of a catastrophe from the sky, Chen Zizhuang fell down before he could help himself, and Zhao Mengguan, who learned the news, was even more frightened half to death.

So when Chen Zizhuang was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison, Zhao Mengguan was so frightened that he didn't dare to visit him at all, even if he didn't dare to take care of it, for fear that Qian Lide would catch his pigtails.

Zhao Mengguan heard that Wang Xian had come to the edict with a messenger today, and hurriedly led the officials of the edict out to greet him.

When Zhao Mengguan saw Wang Xian, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The lower officials meet Wang Tongzhi and Qincha!" Zhao Meng cares about Zhongqi and bitterness, he was originally at the same level as Wang Xian, but now he has to kowtow to him.

Wang Xian didn't care about Zhao Mengguan, and asked directly: "Is it good to commit Chen Zizhuang?" ”

"If you go back to Tongzhi, the Qin prisoner has been very good these days, and his subordinates dare not deduct the daily supply!" Political prisoners like Chen Zizhuang will not be punished as long as they do not have the emperor's order, and their daily meals must not be missing, because these Qin prisoners are all members of the court, who knows that the emperor is happy to recover that day, so Jinyiwei has always taken good care of these political prisoners. Of course, there is a special order of the emperor to say otherwise.

Wang Xian sneered: "Of course, Lord Zhao is a fellow villager of the Qin criminal, so he naturally takes good care of it!" ”

Zhao Mengguan was sarcastically ridiculed by Wang Xian and didn't dare to speak, just kowtowed.

"That's it, get up, Your Majesty has a decree today, if you want to ask Chen Zizhuang, you can lead the way!"

Qian Yiai saw that Wang Xian wanted to follow, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, there is no need for Lord Wang to go inside, I can go by myself!" ”

"This is not good, the commander has said that the safety of Mr. Qian must be guaranteed, and there is nothing wrong with the subordinates, just accompany him!"

"Lord Wang, I asked alone at the emperor's order, and it was really inconvenient for someone on the side, so please ask Lord Wang to avoid it!" Qian Yiai saw that Wang Xian had to follow, so he had no choice but to bring out the emperor.

Wang Xian didn't see the decree, and he didn't know whether the emperor's individual questioning was true or false, but he didn't dare to go back to the palace to ask the emperor if he gave him a hundred dares. Wang Xian had no choice but to laugh and say: "Since this is the case, the lower official will not accompany him!" Zhao Mengguan, you take Qian Gongzi in, you are not allowed to eavesdrop, if you eavesdrop, you will cut off your ears! ”

Zhao Meng nodded again and again, and led Qian Yiai into the edict.

Qian Yiai listened to Wang Xian and knew that the lowly petty official in front of him was Zhao Mengguan, this person he knew that he had made a great contribution to Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi anyway, why did he become the head of the prison now?

Seeing that there was no one around, Qian Yiai asked in a low voice: "This adult, are you Zhao Mengguan and Zhao Qianhu who plotted against Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi?" ”

Zhao Mengguan lowered his head and sighed, and said in a low voice: "Hui Qian Gongzi, it is the villain!" ”

"Didn't you make a meritorious service? I heard that he was promoted by His Majesty to be a pacification envoy, why did he come to the Imperial Prison? "The edict prison is under the management of the Southern Zhenfu Division, and the cell head here is only a thousand households, and it is really overkill to use an official at the level of the Zhenfu envoy to manage it now.

Zhao Mengguan sighed and said: "There is no way, I can only blame the villain's parents for not being angry, and not giving the villain a life in Huguang!" ”

Zhao Mengguan's words were really bitter, Qian Yiai knew what was going on when he heard it, it turned out that Zhao Mengguan was not from Huguang and was excluded in Jinyiwei.
