Chapter 928: An Tong's errand
An Tong pointed to the empty table and smiled: "Isn't the prince going to invite the lower officials to a light meal?" Where's the rice? The lower official heard the king's call, put down his chopsticks and hurried over. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Cheng Yue laughed and said, "The meal will arrive soon, please sit down the prime minister, I haven't eaten yet, I'm just waiting for the prime minister." ”
An Tong sat down with a smile, Cheng Yue sat beside him, Mrs. Gu poured tea for An Tong, and the other ladies went to Zhang Luo to eat. As soon as An Tong saw Mrs. Gu, he was immediately amazed, but he knew the measure, never looked at it much, and turned his head as if nothing happened.
Cheng Yue was prepared, said a few words of gossip, and a few exquisite meals were served, An Tong filled his stomach first, and then put the chopsticks aside, and said: "The prince is calling at this time, there must be something important, An Tong is not talented, if the prince has orders, he dare not disobey." ”
Cheng Yue smiled slightly, put down his chopsticks, and said: "The matter of me looking for the prime minister is very important, the prime minister either doesn't listen, if he listens, he has to do what I say, do you believe me?" ”
An Tong was stunned, his expression became serious, and he said, "Lord Wang, dare to ask, but it is related to the government?" ”
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Of course, do I still need to spend so much time on private matters?" ”
An Tong thought about it seriously and said, "Lord Wang, as long as you don't disobey the Great Khan, the lower officials will obey everything." ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "It's hard to say whether it's a disobedience to the Great Khan." ”
An Tong was startled, jumped up from the chair all of a sudden, took a few steps back, his eyes widened, and exclaimed: "What does the prince mean by this?" The Great Khan is not thin on the prince! ”
Cheng Yue couldn't help laughing, and beckoned: "Prime Minister, sit down, don't be afraid to become such a virtuous person, I'm afraid that I can't help but laugh when I think about it in the future." ”
An Tong was confused by Cheng Yue, and carefully observed Cheng Yue's face for a while before returning to his seat and sitting down, still worried: "Lord Wang, Xia Guan is not suspicious of the prince, Xia Guan just doesn't understand the intention of the prince." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "I was about to explain to you." But before that, I would like to thank you for speaking up for me in the court. ”
An Tong shook his head and said: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, Tuhuan Cha'er's actions are too cold, and the lower officials are just telling the truth." ”
Cheng Yue sighed deliberately and said, "Then thank you for being the first to stand up, I was really a little disheartened at that time." In vain, I tried my best for Dayuan, and I went to the east and west to fight, but I have to be slandered like this, if no one shouts for me, I will not come to Dadu again in the future. ”
When An Tong heard this, he was surprised and sighed, and said: "Why does the prince have to be like this, didn't the Great Khan and the Great Queen finally administer justice to the prince?" The grievances suffered by the prince are felt by the court. ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "It doesn't matter, this is what I said to you in private, you don't want to say it to others, and it won't work with the Great Khan." ”
An Tong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, the lower official can save it." ”
Cheng Yue said: "I invited you over today to say something very important, which has something to do with the incident of Dehuan Cha'er." ”
An Tong said: "Please make it clear to the prince." ”
Cheng Yue nodded slightly and said, "Do you remember Cao Zhengui who was imprisoned with Tuhuan Cha'er?" ”
An Tong was stunned and said, "This person is just a warlock, but I heard that he is well-known in Dadu." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Indeed, so he has also told fortunes for others." ”
An Tong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "What does the prince mean......"
Cheng Yue didn't answer An Tong's question immediately, but said with a smile: "Cao Zhengui was sent to the prison, and Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province can't control it, but you, as a cowardly Xue official, can go in, and you can also send someone in, if I were you, I wouldn't give up this opportunity." ”
An Tong was overjoyed, slapped his palms heavily, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, did Cao Zhengui tell someone's fortune?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Then I don't know, you'd better ask, I'll wait for your news." ”
An Tong calmed down, solemnly clenched his fists and said: "Thank you, the minister, the minister understands what to do, so let's arrange it." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "That's very good, go and come back quickly, I won't keep you, but you have to finish the meal first." ”
An Tong was anxious to eat, but he didn't dare not listen to Cheng Yue's words, so he immediately replied yes, picked up the rice bowl and swallowed the rest of the rice in a few bites, bowed deeply to Cheng Yue, and was about to leave.
Cheng Yue suddenly said again: "You have to pay attention to Cao Zhengui's family. ”
An Tong was woken up by Cheng Yue's words again, gratefully saluted Cheng Yue again, and left in a hurry.
Not long after An Tong left, Cheng Yue also finished eating, and Cao Ruifang quietly walked in and saluted Cheng Yue respectfully.
After Cheng Yue explained to him in detail about the diagram, he immediately gave him an order, find Wang Taiju, befriend him, find a way to get his words, and try his best to control him in his hands, and if necessary, he can do whatever it takes.
Cao Ruifang knew the importance of this matter as soon as he heard it, and bowed down to take the order.
After Cao Ruifang left, Mrs. Gu quietly walked to Cheng Yue's side and asked, "Which little ladies are the princes going to summon tonight to sleep?" The concubine went to tell the princess. ”
Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's still early, An Tong will definitely come back, I'll wait for him for a while." ”
Mrs. Gu was stunned and said, "The matter is not so urgent, is it?" Why did Prime Minister An Tong come back overnight? ”
Cheng Yue said: "This matter involves a lot, there are many dreams at night, no matter how careful An Tong is, it is not impossible for the things in the prison to leak out, and it may arouse the suspicion of others, so he will definitely report back as soon as possible." ”
Mrs. Gu sighed and said, "Then isn't the prince going to stay up late again?" ”
Cheng Yue gently hugged her to his lap, and said with a smile: "With you with me, I won't be bored." Besides, I still have a lot to write about, so what's the point of going to bed late? ”
Mrs. Song said thoughtfully: "The prince is tired for a day, lie down and rest for a while, and when Prime Minister An Tong comes back, it will be too late for the concubine to wake up the prince again." ”
Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "You don't have to do it now, if you are tired, you can talk about it." Come, get me paper, I'm going to write. "The study is up and running again.
An Tong left the Zhennan Palace, and he didn't use Shi Song to send it, he rushed home, without stopping for a moment, changed the clothes of the guards, and took two cronies to go to the prison.
The prison of the Yuan Dynasty was directly controlled by the guards, and the prisoners were all felons ordered by the Great Khan and the empress to be imprisoned.
The Mongols were extremely cruel, and they did not need to be polite to deal with the prisoners in the prison, so there was no leniency in the prison, and they had to go through all kinds of pain when they entered, and they generally did not know about it outside.
