Chapter 70: The Great Tribulation Doesn't Die
"Lord Zhang, thank you for speaking for this king in front of your father this time, although you are now grounded in the mansion, it is much better than being locked up in Dali Temple. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Shi Shi said to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao shook his head, sighed, and said: "The humble position is just a fluke to find a few loopholes, and I was not completely sure at that time, now Your Majesty has banned His Royal Highness, but there is no punishment for King Qing, it can be seen that Your Majesty is still quite suspicious of you now, what we need to do is to find evidence this morning to prove that this matter has nothing to do with Yanwangfu." ā
"I'll leave this matter to Master Zhang."
"Liu Yuanzhi Lord Liu is the elder brother of Concubine Liu Gui's mother, I don't know if he has a chance to find out what the real reason for Niangniang to go to Wolong Mountain is."
"Call him tomorrow, and you can ask him."
"If you are just a servant, how can you question a household secretary? It would be better for His Highness to personally inquire about this matter. ā
Shi Shi nodded slightly, and said, "What you said is also reasonable, then I will tell you after this king asks." ā
"That's all it can be."
"By the way, how did you learn that Liu Guifei and Lao Jiu went to Wolong Mountain a few days ago?"
"It was Prime Minister Gao who ran to the lowly mansion and said it inadvertently, and the lowly office felt that this matter was not trivial, and he didn't dare to underestimate it, so he went to Wolong Mountain first without His Highness's consent, and hoped that His Highness would forgive his sins."
Shi Shi waved his hand and said, "If you hadn't gone up to Wolong Mountain and seen the assassins of those assassins, I'm afraid you wouldn't have found so many excuses to temporarily save the life of this king, what are you guilty of?" ā
"I don't know if Your Highness thinks that there is something wrong with this noble person."
"An old fool, very sleek, suffering from gains and losses in everything, looking forward and hesitating." Shi Shi said casually.
Zhang Bao shook his head and said: "I always feel that this is a manifestation of nobility, otherwise how could I sit firmly in the position of prime minister for so many years?" ā
"That's because ......" Shi Shi was a little embarrassed.
"I understand what His Highness means, but this alone is probably not enough to be qualified for the position of prime minister, right?"
"And what do you mean?"
Zhang Bao said solemnly to Shi Shi: "I always feel that the noble city is too deep, so deep that I can't see a flaw, and this person must be guarded against." ā
"Do you think he will help Lao Jiu?"
"That's not going to happen, King Qing is very arrogant, and his noble behavior is obscene, and he will definitely not be looked at by King Qing. If he helps King Qing, at least we know his position, and then take precautions, but the problem is that he can't see any purpose at the moment. ā
"The purpose? Do you think he went to your mansion to reveal to you that Liu Guifei and Lao Jiu were on Wolong Mountain on purpose? ā
Zhang Bao glanced at Shi Shi and nodded slightly: "That's right, it's very likely." ā
Shi Shi got up, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "According to what you say, if he really deliberately revealed this news to you, then this noble one is really terrifying. ā
"Yes, the terrible thing about Noble is that we don't know what his purpose is, but he seems to be very aware of the current situation. Since he saw it so clearly, he didn't see that he had any plans, which was really strange! ā
"But then again, it's all your guess, maybe Gao Shangzhi just wants to be alone."
Zhang Bao nodded slightly and said, "That's right, lowly is just a suspicion, I hope everything is just a suspicion of lowly position." ā
After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he got up and saluted Shi Shi and said: "Leave the humble post first, and wait for His Royal Highness to ask Lord Liu Yuanzhi clearly, and then send someone to inform the humble post." ā
Shi Shi nodded, and Zhang Bao turned around and walked out.
At this time, in Qingwang's Mansion, Qingwang Shizun was furious.
"Get out of here for this king!" Several people in the house who were originally cleaning were driven out by Shi Zun, who was furious as soon as he entered the house, and Shi Zun angrily smashed the things in the house to the ground.
Tan Yuan stood at the door, and when he saw Shi Zun panting and sitting there motionless, he walked in and saluted, "Your Highness." ā
"I didn't expect this play carefully arranged by this king to be stirred up by Zhang Bao like this! Now my father is starting to suspect that I really did it! Unexpectedly, this king played with eagles all his life, and in the end, he was actually bitten by a sparrow! ā
"It's all the subordinates' poor planning, so that Zhang Leopard found an excuse, but His Highness doesn't have to worry so much, at least King Yan was grounded, but His Highness didn't, which shows that the confession is still useful."
"This matter has lost three elite subordinates of this king, I originally thought that this matter would be understood very easily, but I didn't expect to involve this king."
"What I didn't expect was that His Majesty would actually send Commander Shi to Dali Temple to participate in the interrogation in person. If it weren't for Shi Yong's presence, the Dali Temple Supervisor would have been able to forge a confession that didn't show any problems at all, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven. ā
"Later, you arranged for that paperwork to arrive in such a timely manner, right?"
"The subordinates were worried that His Highness would be suspected, so after Shi Yong returned to the palace, he hurriedly asked the supervisor of Dali Temple to slightly modify the paperwork record last night, but he didn't expect that Zhang Leopard's mouth was still not blocked."
"People are not as good as heaven!" Shi Zun said resentfully.
Shi Zun was silent for a moment, and said to Tan Yuan: "Regardless of the confession first, at least now that the second child is grounded in the Yanwang Mansion, his father is still quite suspicious of him, but there is still one person who has not returned, and the king's heart is still uneasy, and the top priority at the moment is to find that person quickly, and when necessary, he can ......."
Shi Zun said, making a killing move.
Tan Yuan nodded silently.
The two men who had already returned were also under strict scuffle, and maybe they would know something.
"Then Liu Guifei's side, do we still need to continue?" Tan Yuan asked cautiously.
"Send a message to Xiaoxiang and ask her to find out Liu Guifei's tone." Shi Zun stood up and said: "Originally, this Liu Guifei had been tightly pinched in the hands of this king, Zhang Bao had messed up the overall plan of this king, and today he questioned this king in front of his father in front of everyone, maybe Liu Guifei was also suspicious in her heart at this time." ā
"In that case, is it necessary to kill him?" Tan Yuan asked.
"If you kill him now, it is equivalent to telling my father that the king did what happened on Wolong Mountain this time, and he can't be touched now, so as not to set himself on fire."
"After Your Majesty's birthday, according to the usual practice, you will go back to Li Cheng, if we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to stay in the capital this year."
"The key is to work Concubine Liu, if she can help this king speak, there will naturally be a chance in this matter." Shi Zun turned around and said to Tan Yuan again: "You stand down, this king wants to stay alone for a while." ā
"Yes......" Tan Yuan nodded silently, glanced up at Shi Zun, and retreated.
Shi Min returned to Xihua Houfu and walked in the corridor with a depressed face, Qin Wan walked over and shouted to Shi Min: "Childe! ā
Shi Min heard Qin Wan's voice, raised his head suddenly, and saw Qin Wan smiling like a spring flower, and greeted him with some embarrassment: "Miss Qin." ā
"I heard that Gongzi went to the palace this morning, why didn't you come back now?"
"Don't mention it, I've encountered strange things today." Shi Min said, sitting on a bench under the cloister.
"What's the matter? Childe looked depressed. Qin Wan said and sat down as well.
"It's nothing, I'll have to tell my father in a moment."
"Oh......" Qin Wan replied in a somewhat disappointed whisper.
"How are you doing at home these days?" Shi Min asked.
"Childe, don't worry, everything is fine at home, the general's health is better, he can barely walk two steps on his own, and it will take some time to recover if he is beaten like that."
"What about you? Are you still used to living in the house? ā
When Qin Wan heard this, she immediately lowered her head, nodded slightly, and said, "It's good, Mother Li and everyone take good care of me." ā
"That's good! If there is something, I can ask Uncle Xu to go to the military camp outside the city to find me. ā
"Don't worry, Childe, everything is fine here, but you, you must not eat or sleep well in the barracks, the barracks are so close to the house, can't you tell the general to go home and live every day?"
"Of course not, regardless of military position in the army, everyone should be treated equally, otherwise the morale of the army will not be aligned, and the combat effectiveness will definitely decline."
"Childe is talking about ......," Qin Wan said, even more disappointed.
Shi Min stood up and said to Qin Wan: "It's time for me to go see my father, I have to let my father know about the affairs in the palace today as soon as possible." ā
After speaking, she turned around and left, Qin Wan slowly stood up, looking at Shi Min's hurried back, she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in her heart.
