Chapter 364: Breaking into the palace at night
If this matter spreads, not only will the two concubines who entered the palace suffer, but even he will be charged with dereliction of duty.
Especially this kind of thing can't be made all over the city by the imperial envoy, otherwise, the people of the world still don't think that he is a traitor around the emperor, and charges such as bewitching the emperor and instigating the concubine to be rude will fall on him.
Yang Xiaoyu pondered all the way, and after returning to the palace, he immediately pretended to pass on the holy decree, punished himself for half a year, punished Feng Guiren and Concubine Hui for 100 days, and prayed for the queen mother.
Of course, this is just a superficial show, fooling those ill-intentioned courtiers, and at the same time, it is also to block the mouths of the people.
In the upper study.
Yang Xiaoyu took the folds sent by the celebrant today, and flipped through them one by one, and the fake emperor Liu Le squatted on the ground, drooping his head alone.
After dealing with a batch of twists and turns, Yang Xiaoyu stood up and relaxed his waist, and ordered the female detective to prepare a meal for the fake emperor, and he also enjoyed a royal meal.
It's getting late.
Yang Xiaoyu came to the courtyard of Concubine Fan Hui and Feng Guiren.
Although the two concubines were grounded for 100 days, they knew very well that in the palace, they could not go anywhere except their own courtyard, and there was no difference between being grounded and not being grounded.
After Concubine Duan Chun came, she was taken to the courtyard by the thoughtful Concubine Fan Hui, and at this time, the three concubines sat at the table together and said harmless jokes.
After Yang Xiaoyu came, Concubine Fan Hui hurriedly pulled Feng Guiren out of the room, leaving Concubine Chun alone in the room.
Concubine Duan Chun thought that Yang Xiaoyu was looking for her, so she chuckled and asked, "Lord Yang, how is it?" Has the emperor summoned the main palace? ”
Xiaoyu chuckled and said: "Niangniang, the emperor has a lot of opportunities, I'm afraid I don't have time to see you, but." The emperor ordered you to live in the palace from now on. ”
Concubine Duan Chun replied disappointedly: "Got it!" ”
Yang Xiaoyu ignored Concubine Duan Chun's disappointment, and asked instead, "Niangniang, is Concubine Xinwang looking for you just to play Keju?" ”
Concubine Duan Chun nodded absentmindedly: "Well, she entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, and she also met occasionally with the palace." I went to play Keju together. ”
"And she didn't ask you any particular questions?" Yang Xiaoyu asked in a deep voice.
"Nope!"
After Concubine Duan Chun shook her head, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "She is very curious about the emperor's affairs, and asked how long has it been since she saw the emperor in this palace?" Moreover, she felt strange that there were suddenly many female guards in the palace. ”
Yang Xiaoyu sighed slightly, it seems that King Xin has doubted it, otherwise, he would not have sent his concubine into the palace to inquire about the news.
Yang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "Niangniang will rest first." Yang retired. ”
"Wait a minute, Lord Yang, this palace really wants to see the emperor, please pass it on your behalf." Concubine Duan Chun hurriedly said.
"Yang can't help his mother too much in this matter, so he can only do his best!"
After Yang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he bowed to Concubine Duan Chun and left.
Out of the palace.
Yang Xiaoyu returned to the mansion and immediately sent someone to Hu Chenghe. Inquire about the king of faith.
Hu Chenghe was ordered by Yang Xiaoyu to secretly investigate King Xin for a long time. Moreover, Jinyiwei has placed secret agents in the Xinwang Mansion, and every move of the Xinwangfu is under the control of Jinyiwei.
At this time, Hu Chenghe told all the things about King Xin, and Yang Xiaoyu, who listened to it, sneered.
This half-brother of the Carpenter Emperor is not a good thing, although he is not yet fifteen years old this year. But what he did was not like what a teenager could do.
King Shin seems to stay in the palace every day and have nothing to do, but in fact, he has been paying attention to every move of the imperial court, including the affairs of the royal family.
And it's no wonder. Shin had not seen his carpenter brother since last November, and he was rightly suspicious.
But he shouldn't have sent his concubine into the palace to find out the news.
Yang Xiaoyu is now in power and will not allow anyone to question the identity of the emperor, especially the people of the royal family.
Under the lonely lamp and candle in the middle of the night, Yang Xiaoyu thought for a long time, and finally sent someone to order Li Wenshan and Bai Chengwang to come to the mansion with 500 horsemen to listen to the order.
Soon after the order was handed down, Li Wenshan and Bai Chengwang led the cavalry to listen to the order.
Yang Xiaoyu changed his armor and rushed to King Xin's Mansion with a thousand horses.
It was the middle of the night, and the streets were deserted, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of heavy footsteps.
Yang Xiaoyu led people to the Xinwang Mansion and ordered Ti to ride forward and knock on the door.
The vermilion gate of the King's Mansion opened from the inside.
The tiger rode up.
King Shin was a vassal king, but he had not yet become a vassal king, and his mansion had less than 500 guards, and the rest were all subordinates and maidservants.
Yang Xiaoyu ordered not to hurt anyone, he was ordered by the emperor to come to the king to ask questions.
The horsemen guarded around the Xinfu, and a clever subordinate of the Xinwang Mansion led Yang Xiaoyu to the Xinwang's residence.
When he came to a brightly lit courtyard, Yang Xiaoyu ordered people to guard the surroundings, and he personally led people to break into the middle room.
In the room, King Shin heard movement in the palace and got busy getting dressed.
Suddenly, Yang Xiaoyu kicked open the door and walked in.
King Xin was startled, involuntarily took a few steps back, and asked tremblingly, "Lord Yang, what are you doing here?" ”
Yang Xiaoyu looked around the room and saw King Xin's concubine Tian Xiuying sleeping on the couch, while King Xin was standing on the ground and wearing his belt in a panic, and couldn't help laughing: "King Xin is wearing clothes so late, I don't know what to do?" ”
King Xin is only thirteen or fourteen years old, in the Ming Dynasty, he is a semi-adult, but in Yang Xiaoyu's eyes, he is still a big child.
"Lord Yang, when this king heard a murmur in the house, he thought about getting dressed and going out to have a look." King Xin was calm, but the panic in his eyes betrayed what he was thinking.
"Really? King Xin didn't need to look at it, the official caught the thief who assassinated the emperor, and just chased him to King Xin's mansion, so he wanted to come and see King Xin. Yang Xiaoyu said slowly.
King Xin is not stupid, during this period of time, the assassin's affairs have made the people of the capital panic.
Concubine Zheng of the previous dynasty was imprisoned in the palace, and Ruan Dacheng, the head of the Ministry of Officials, was almost beheaded by Yang Xiaoyu because of his defection from the Zhejiang Party, although he didn't know why Yang Xiaoyu finally released Ruan Dacheng's family, but he knew very well that no matter who it was, as long as it had anything to do with the assassin's affairs, it would be impossible to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
King Xin thought for a while, and then glanced at the concubine on the bed out of the corner of his eye, hoping that she would come up with an idea.
It's a pity that Tian Xiuying is a female dependent, so it is inconvenient to speak out.
"Lord Yang, is there a misunderstanding about this?" King Xin asked with a smile.
"Don't be impatient, when Yang's subordinates find out, everything will be revealed." Yang Xiaoyu had a sunny smile on his face, but the words he said made the future Emperor Chongzhen shudder.
"Lord Yang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to search this king's mansion without a holy decree, right?" King Shin gritted his teeth, and his face turned blue with anger.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled unhurriedly: "Lord Wang, the emperor once gave Yang an order, the case of tracking down the assassin is decided by Yang Mou, no matter which prince's mansion, as long as the assassin is involved, Yang has the right to search!" ”
Xinwang Fei is a young man who is ignorant of the world, and he heard the smell of gunpowder from Yang Xiaoyu's words.
He lived in seclusion on weekdays and rarely interacted with the ministers of the DPRK and China, just because he was worried that someone would make trouble for him.
Fortunately, his weakness has attracted a hungry wolf.
"Then please Lord Yang hurry up and search, and this king can continue to rest." King Xin said lightly, walked to the table and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yang Xiaoyu said in his heart that this prince of faith has a really big temper, so he walked to the couch with a smile, stretched out his hand to pull the curtain, looked at the ice muscles and jade bones exposed by Tian Xiuying on the couch, and said with a smile: "Princess Xin is really a beauty, and King Xin is so blessed." ”
"Lord Yang, don't deceive people too much, this king has been patient with you since you entered the door, you not only violated the etiquette system, but also spoke disrespectfully to the princess of this king, what crime should you be guilty of according to the law?" Xinwangqi's little face was flushed, Yang Xiaoyu actually opened the curtain to look at his concubine, and praised him, listening to his ears, it was no different from a thousand cuts.
Yang Xiaoyu turned around and said blankly: "Where did the prince come from so angry, this king just looked at whether there were Tibetans under the bed, and accidentally saw the princess's body, the prince won't be so stingy, right?" ”
King Xin snorted coldly: "Don't think that this king doesn't know what you are doing, if you search for an assassin today, this king will admit it, if you can't find it, this king will definitely go to the palace with you to reason." ”
Yang Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Since the prince said so, then the official is not welcome." ”
Yang Xiaoyu shouted out: "Come on, search King Xin's room carefully, including Princess Xin's bed, to see if there is anything hidden in it that shouldn't be?" ”
"Lord Yang, you insulted this king too much, if this king doesn't give you some color today, you don't know what kind of virtue you are?" When King Xin heard that even his beloved concubine's bed had to be searched, he shouted coldly.
At this moment, the horsemen from outside poured into the room and began to search the room.
Moreover, there were already two Ti Riding towards Princess Shin's bed.
"The prince is angry!"
Yang Xiaoyu looked at King Xin's breathing and was afraid that he would continue to mess around like this, so he should really be angry, so he hurriedly shouted to Ti Cai: "You don't need to search the princess's bed, this king will search it himself." ”
"Bastard, you dare." King Xin's eyes were blood-red, and he quickly blocked in front of Yang Xiaoyu.
Yang Xiaoyu sneered and waved his hand, and four strong horsemen rushed up and pushed the thin King Xin aside.
At this time, Tian Xiuying, who was behind the curtain, said loudly: "Lord Yang, this concubine puts on her clothes, and you send someone in to search." ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaoyu stepped forward in three steps, pulled the curtain, and then instantly pulled the curtain open, covering him and Tian Xiuying's bodies, and said with a smile: "Princess Xin can lie on the bed." As he spoke, he pretended to crawl under the bed to look for it.
After a while, Yang Xiaoyu got up from the ground, looked at Tian Xiuying lying on the couch with Su Rong, suddenly uncovered the quilt with one hand, and quickly touched Tian Xiuying's full chest with the other hand.
may have made it too hard, Tian Xiuying's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but she didn't shout. (To be continued......)
