Chapter 313: Leading troops to search King Qing's Mansion
After leaving Qingliu Academy, Ye Yu followed King Qing Zhao Kai and did not return to the palace directly, but chose a quiet place outside the city.
Bamboo Forest Yaxuan, the name is chic and elegant.
This small talk did not end until a long time, and no one knows what the two talked about during this time......
Qingliu Academy was quiet for a short time because of the departure of the students, but the next three days were very lively.
The couplet competition outside Qingliu Academy, the three thousand Taixue all bowed down, which has to be said to be a big news in the capital, a hot topic, and a huge irony.
Before the entrance examination in the capital, the enrollment work of Qingliu Academy was in full swing, and everyone thought that the first enrollment would be unpopular, but they did not want to experience the noisy gathering of students, so that the reputation of Qingliu Academy could be widely spread.
Afterwards, Zhao Kai did deal with the matter of the gathering of students, and the issue of this matter was discussed on the political side.
For the rectification of Tai Academy, it also became a fuse because of this incident.
Ye Yu naturally strongly agreed with Zhao Kai's proposal, not because the students gathered to make trouble, but because the current Tai Academy is really rotten.
However, this matter cannot be done overnight, even if the Taixue system is to be abolished, it must be done step by step, otherwise the intensity of the suppression will be great, and the strength of the rebound will show dozens of times the pressure.
Because what came out of Taixue was not only the 3,000 Taixue students who gathered to make trouble, but also many aristocratic families in the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the bureaucratic system in the court.
So at this time, it is not advisable to uproot, because that would shake the foundation of the country.
If it is not rectified, it will only become more and more erosive, until it finally becomes a burden to the imperial court and a source of the system for the production of mediocre officials.
At this point, Ye Yu and Qingwang Zhao Kai have a surprisingly similar sense of identity.
As for the assassination case, there was a sudden change during this period, because after the continuous investigation of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, there is already a trace of the murderer.
And the hiding place of this murderer is hidden in King Qing's mansion!
In fact, Ye Yu had known this result for a long time, but it was only the abruptness of this matter and many concerns that made him hesitate to act.
But now this matter is no secret, and as the main person in charge of this case, he must take corresponding measures.
Therefore, as soon as he got the news, Ye Yu would rush to Qingwangfu with Zhang Meng, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Yue Lei, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
When Zhang Meng learned that this murderer was in Qingwang's Mansion, he immediately felt incredible, and wanted to delay time in order to maneuver, but he was immediately urged to go by Shangshu Yue Lei of the Criminal Department.
So with Ye Yu as the leader, Zhang Meng and Yue Lei took a large number of officers and soldiers and officials to surround the entire Qingwang Mansion.
When Ye Yu broke into the palace with the officers and soldiers, Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, was practicing calligraphy with his son in the back garden, and the laughter between the father and son was very warm.
The unauthorized intrusion of the officers and soldiers disturbed this rare quiet, Qingwang Zhao Kai looked at the officers and soldiers who broke in, and frowned slightly: "Lord Ye, what do you mean by taking these people to break into the palace?" ”
"Your Highness, I hope you will forgive me if you disturb you, just because someone noticed that a suspicious person appeared in the house. As you know, the Lower Officials were recently ordered to investigate the assassin case......"
Before Ye Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, waving his hand: "Lord Ye, you are becoming more and more bold and reckless, even if there are suspicious people hiding in this palace, this palace is also something you can enter and exit casually?" ”
Zhao Kai's words were very dissatisfied, which made Zhang Meng and Yue Lei both feel a little cramped.
Ye Yu explained with an embarrassed expression: "Your Highness is angry, the lower officials are also official, and please don't embarrass your lower officials......"
"Then the king must be embarrassed today?"
Seeing that Zhao Kai was deliberately embarrassed, Ye Yu also became stubborn: "Your Highness, the lower official was ordered to investigate this case, and there was an imperial decree of His Majesty, but there is no need to scruple about anything that needs to be investigated." Your Highness, in the eyes of the lower officials, the safety of His Majesty today is the top priority! ”
Syllable!
Zhao Kai angrily threw the inkstone on the ground, the frightened little prince trembling in shock, and the astute attendant hurriedly took the little prince into his arms, and then quickly walked away from the small garden.
The ink on the inkstone splashed Ye Yu's body, and the dripping ink gradually spread in the breeze.
"Ye Yu, you investigated the case and found the head of this king, you! ......" Zhao Kai pointed at Ye Yu angrily, and anger burst out of his eyes.
Ye Yu responded with a blank expression: "Your Highness, please be considerate of the difficulties of the lower officials!" ”
"Good! Okay, check it out! I want to see what you can find! If you can't find any so-called suspicious people, then the responsibility for this matter will be blamed on you! ”
"Xiaguan...... Willing to accept sin! Ye Yu hesitated for a moment, and then replied with a solemn expression.
Then he turned around and faced Zhang Meng and Yue Lei: "Zhang and you will lead a team of people to search, and every corner of the palace cannot be let go!" ”
"Yes!"
After the two of them left with the team, Ye Yu then took the officers and soldiers under his command to other places to conduct a carpet search.
All of a sudden, the royal palace of Nuoda was in trouble because of these two officers and soldiers, and every house and every corner was not spared.
Finally, after searching for a long time, in a remote utility room in the palace, Yue Lei found a secret room for secret passages.
Although the people who were taken out of the secret room were all dressed in civilian clothes, the blades and arrows stored in the secret room showed that the origin of these people was unknown.
"Your Highness, who are they?" Ye Yu pointed to the four people who were tied up, and asked in a very cold tone.
Qingwang Zhao Kai looked at these strangers in surprise, and those blades and dark arrows used, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because he had seen the style of the dark arrows at the Lantern Festival, so in the face of Ye Yu's questioning, Zhao Kai didn't know how to answer.
Ye Yu saw that Zhao Kai didn't make any excuses, so he said in a deep voice: "Since Your Highness has nothing to say, then please ask Your Highness to go to Dali Temple with your lower officials!" ”
"This ......"
Zhao Kai reacted at this time, so he hurriedly defended: "These people have never been seen by this king!" ”
"Your Highness, this matter is already obvious, you don't know anything at the moment, I'm afraid it's difficult to say it, right?" Yue Lei, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up at this moment and asked Zhao Kai, who wanted to refute him.
"This ...... These kings don't know about ......"
The corners of Yue Lei's mouth moved slightly: "These people look at the sharp weapons they use, they should be the murderers who assassinated them that day, and now they are hidden in the secret room of the palace, how do you explain them, Your Highness?" ”
"Lord Yue, there are too many strange things in this matter, and you must not make premature conclusions!" Zhang Meng, the secretary of Dali Temple on the side, saw Yue Lei's conclusion, so he naturally spoke out and tried his best to defend it.
After all, this kind of thing happened in Qingwang's Mansion today, which he Zhang Meng did not want to see. Their Zhang family relied on Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, if Zhao Kai lost the opportunity to compete for the crown prince because of this matter, then their Zhang family would be completely declined.
The faction that Taiwei Zhang said was already mortal enemies of the Yu faction's Gongwang Party, and there was obviously no possibility of reconciliation. And Zhang Meng, who is the younger brother of Zhang Shuo, naturally has a deep understanding, so he is extremely panicked in this matter.
"Lord Zhang's words are wrong, Yue has no arbitrary intentions, but in this situation, His Royal Highness King Qing needs to go back to be examined!"
"Okay, the decision to handle this case is the official, so you don't have to worry about it!"
After Ye Yu finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Kai: "Your Highness, please!" ”
"Ye Yu, this matter really has nothing to do with this king!" Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, who has always been gentle as jade, is also panicked and anxious at the moment.
"Your Highness, whether this matter is related to you, it doesn't matter what the lower official said, after this matter is clarified, if Your Highness is innocent, the lower official will give you justice!"
Ye Yu's words were very calm, but his words were very sincere.
Zhao Kai looked at Ye Yu in a daze for a moment, and then forcibly suppressed his anger: "Okay, this king will go back to Dali Temple with you to be tried......"
"Offended!" As Ye Yu spoke, he ordered the officers and soldiers to control the entire palace up and down, and prepared to escort a suspicious person to Dali Temple.
However, just as he was leaving the palace, Zhang Shuo, who heard the news, rushed here in time. At that moment, regardless of the situation, all the officers and soldiers led by Ye Yu and the servants were disarmed.
"Ye Yu, what do you mean by this?" Obviously, Zhang said that he had not reacted to this sudden incident in time.
Ye Yuxin said that in this case, it should be that I asked you if it was about the same.
However, this is not the time for theory, so he said in a deep voice: "Lord Taiwei, this matter will be explained to you later, but at this time, please don't hinder the office of the lower official!" ”
Ye Yu's words made Zhang Shuo so angry that he was stunned, and then he glared angrily and angrily reprimanded: "Bastard, dare to bring officers and soldiers to break into the palace privately, who gave you this guts!?" ”
"Lord Taiwei, you don't know the reason for this, and the subordinate will not be angry with you. But if you delay the official duties of the lower officials, don't blame the lower officials for being rude! Ye Yu saw that the officers and soldiers he led were disarmed, and said in his heart that this Captain Zhang really didn't take him seriously.
"You! ……”
"This matter is related to the case of the assassination of the Lantern Festival, Lord Zhang must not cause more trouble, this king believes that Lord Ye will deal with this matter impartially!" Just as the two were competing against each other, King Qing Zhao Kai stood up and persuaded him.
"Your Highness......"
Zhang said that he was going to say something more, but when he saw Zhao Kai shaking his head, he immediately changed his tone: "Your Highness, don't worry, the old minister will enter the palace to meet Your Majesty!" ”
Seeing that Zhang Shuo turned his head and glared at him violently, Ye Yu smiled helplessly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for understanding righteousness, otherwise the lower officials really don't know what to do......"
"Let's go!" Zhao Kai didn't pay attention to Ye Yu, but silently took the lead out of the palace.
