Chapter 114: A Few Families Rejoice and a Few Families Sorrow
But this fish and butterfly didn't come yesterday, and Gonggong Yu wanted to say that he didn't know if she would come today, but he was afraid that the emperor would be disappointed. He's in a quandary.
The emperor seemed to suddenly think of something, and slapped his forehead: "I forgot, the emperor borrowed her from me yesterday, maybe she was busy, and she may not come today." ”
"This time to solve the case, the fish girl has contributed a lot, and the assassin's human skin mask was actually discovered by her, so that Erchen was able to unravel his thoughts, follow the vine, and solve the case so quickly. "There are no outsiders, and Hetai does not hide it, and he is not greedy for her merits at all.
"Oh?" the emperor was surprised, and immediately praised: "This girl, I look extremely smart." She deserves a reward for this, and I seem to owe her a reward?"
The emperor thought about this, and promised the Queen Mother a few days ago that if he upgraded the gifts to the minions of Ximian Palace, he would make a face for Yu Die'er, because at that time he was just in time to add manpower to Ximian Palace, if he upgraded again, I am afraid it would be too eye-catching, so he thought about it in a few days, and it was delayed until now.
Since Hetai said that she also helped with this case, she will find an opportunity to reward her in the next few days. After all, it is inappropriate for a woman to participate in the case, and she is suspected of participating in politics, so it is inconvenient to reward her for this reason, and it is just a matter of finding a reason at that time.
The case was solved, the emperor was really happy, he didn't go back to the inner palace after the court, and he didn't take a break, so he immediately instructed Gonggong Yu to draw up an edict in the Xuanyi Palace, and rewarded the officials, soldiers, and arresters who participated in the investigation and interrogation of the case.
While receiving the reward with joy, Prince Hui's group of people looked angry and ruined.
After the next court, they gathered together to talk secretly, and as far as the eye could see, a room of people were locked with sad frowns, sighing, and they all felt that the defeat was unexpected, inexplicable, and Prince Hui sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, and he also looked very frustrated. One of them persuaded: "Don't be in a hurry, the prince is not afraid of being late for a good meal, and when the time comes, he will not be able to escape from our palms." ”
"Yes, he can't be arrogant for a while, so the prince doesn't have to worry. ”
"This time I was careless, but he can't make any waves in our nest, and it is not enough to stay in the court. ”
Prince Hui glanced at these people, and couldn't take the reassurance pills they gave, this time it was because he was too confident that he fell into the way. But these people are still full of self-confidence, and there is no reflection at all, and he hates iron and steel.
So, he said angrily: "Good time, good time, this is the best time, but it can't defeat him, it must be more difficult in the future." “
"This court was originally ours, if Hetai has a firm foothold here, it will be the same as that again, and it will not be so easy to do things in the future. One person worried.
"What Wan Shunhou said is that Ben Cheng also thinks so, but if you look at his appearance in the court this morning, the spring breeze is proud, and those old guys who have always been neutral seem to be a little ready to move. Prince Hui was tentative.
"Anyway, Ben Hou has always been on the side of the prime minister, now and in the future. Wan Shunhou smiled.
"What Hou Ye said is very true, we wait for everything only to be the prime minister. Others have pledged their loyalty.
Prince Hui smiled with a smile in his eyebrows, and arched his hand: "It all depends on everyone, this Cheng Minggan is five, and when the funeral of the princess is over, we will find an opportunity to make him look good." ”
"Yes, the funeral of the concubine is important. ”
"As early as when the emperor announced that he was appointed as the secretary of the criminal department, he should have been blocked, but the prime minister said that he would be allowed to enter the court first. It's good now, I can't drive it away. A voice complained out of place.
provoked Prince Hui's fierce gaze to shoot over, "Are you blaming Bencheng?"
The man was silent, and everyone was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little solemn. Although the emperor's golden mouth is difficult to change, but at least he will fight for it, but Prince Hui did not even fight for it, but he also inexplicably added fuel to the fire, and naturally let the people who contributed some complaints.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Prince Hui stood up unhurriedly and said: "Block? Do you think Ben Cheng doesn't want to stop him?" But the emperor intends to let him enter the court, who can block the holy will, Ben Cheng is also a courtier, and he must listen to the emperor. And even if you can stop it this time, there will be a next time, you can't stop it every time. Ben Cheng thought that it would be better to let him take office first, this case is so tricky, the Criminal Department has many years of experience in handling cases, there is no way to start, he is a stinky boy who has not dried up, what can he do? Moreover, he has promised to Ben Cheng to give a reply within seven days, Ben Cheng wants to see that he will not be able to solve the case by then, and he will not be able to reply, so we will join forces with Ben Cheng to coax him to step down. I don't have the face to enter the court again, right?"
"I just didn't expect him to solve the case!" Prince Hui gritted his teeth and said, "Ben Cheng tried his best to expose his eyeliner to set up a suspicious array, but he didn't even deceive him." ”
"The prime minister's method is clever, but if something happens, no one can expect it, it doesn't matter, it won't work this time, and there will be a next time. One person sighed.
"Yes, he's fighting alone, see how long he can last?"
"Maybe he won't be alone all the time. Prince Hui's eyes were gloomy, and he could see clearly that some courtiers already wanted to get closer to him. For example, Qian Shilang should already be biased towards him in his heart.
"It's not a one-man fight? Looking at this Manchu Dynasty, most of them are our people, and the remaining stragglers are all following him, what kind of momentum can they become? And they may not all be on his side. "Someone doesn't care about the word.
Prince Hui doesn't think so now, if it's like he said, most of the Manchu Dynasty are his own people, why don't you call them all now? Prince Hui is not stupid, how can he not understand, some people are following their own on the surface, but their hearts are not necessarily here, such as the imperial history, that Dali Siqing, although this time they may have been forced to that part, Prince Hui faintly felt that maybe these people's hearts were not all in his own place.
And the neutral Plains Marquis and others, stragglers? Sometimes a straw can crush a camel, and we can't underestimate these stragglers.
If Hetai has the wind of a general, and really brings up these scattered courtiers, it can be said that it is not a terrible hostile force. The more I thought about him, the more congested I became.
"Okay, let's disperse today, everyone has paid Ben Cheng in their hearts, as long as there is Ben Cheng, there will be yours, we are tied to a rope. Tomorrow, the mother will be mourned, the emperor will come to mourn, and Ben Cheng will arrange the driving matter. There will be no seats. Another day, Ben Cheng will invite everyone to gather together in Surabaya. Prince Hui sent off the guests tactfully.
In the past, the banquet guests paid attention to pomp and circumstance, that is, they went to Surabaya Ju, but as soon as Surabaya Ju said it today, he was even more depressed in his heart, Surabaya Ju! It's all this damn Surabaya Ju, and he blames the damn Jiang Sheng, telling himself that Hetai is holding a banquet in Surabaya Ju, ignoring the case, and letting himself relax his vigilance. When I think about it, my teeth itch with hatred, and Lord Jiang may be afraid of blaming him, so he disappeared after leaving the court, and now he doesn't show up, so Prince Hui has nowhere to go.
"Prime Minister, then we will say goodbye and come to the house tomorrow to offer condolences. ”
"Lord Wang, that humble post also left first. ”
"Lord Wang, the official is leaving. ”
"Prime Minister, the old man will take his leave first. ”
One after another, these people got up and left.
The emperor went to the queen's palace, and in order to show his attention, he decided to take the queen and several concubines, together with the prince, to Prince Hui's mansion tomorrow to mourn, so he went to tell the queen and asked her to inform the others who went with him.
Hetai left the Xuanyi Hall and went back to sleep, since he became this dog P Shangshu, he didn't sleep a lot, and he didn't sleep all night last night, fortunately, the case was not in vain, the case was solved, and the remaining details in the criminal department were handed over to Qian Shilang to do, according to his test, Qian Shilang was still loyal, at least he was bent on doing things for the emperor, no wonder the emperor was so protective of him.
Other things, wait until he wakes up to deal with it, now, he just wants to sleep, don't call him when the sky falls.
The emperor went to the Queen Mother, and the lunch was also used in the Queen Mother's palace, and the fish and butterflies sent it were also hearty.
Because the emperor and the queen mother used it together, the dishes of the two people were put on the table together, and there was nowhere to put it in the emperor's imperial dining room. Although the Queen Mother's dishes are vegetarian meals, the color matching looks very eye-catching, a delicate jade heart, beautiful and delicious, and there is no bite left after a while.
Hot and sour broad beans are seasonal dishes, just newly picked, tender green broad beans, stir-fried with red peppers, bright color, appetizing taste, the emperor used a lot. Auspicious lion's mane mushroom, jade jade roll, each of them is so delicious that people can't stop chopsticks.
"The fish lady has always been dedicated to the emperor's errands. When you look at these foods, it takes a lot of thought to see them. "Father-in-law Yu always loses no time in saying something good for Yu Die'er, but he is not weak in what he says, it is all practical.
"These days, the mourning family feels fat when they eat fasting. The Queen Mother also smiled, because she made it delicious, and she inevitably used a few more bites for each meal, and slowly, her complexion was ruddy and shiny, and she felt fat.
The son also felt that the concubine's complexion had become better in recent days. A good appetite is a great thing. The emperor looked happy.
"And I slept much better, I slept well until dawn, and I was refreshed during the day. The Queen Mother smiled, and her spirit really seemed to be a few years younger.
"If the concubine feels that her body has improved, then it is even more right, what is this dish called? Oh, it is called medicinal food, not just a simple dish, it is all added with medicinal materials to nourish the body, no need to drink tonic medicines such as bitter medicine soup, as long as you eat every day, the body will be conditioned. The emperor explained to her.
"Medicinal diet? Medicinal diet mourning family has also eaten, and in the past, the hospital didn't make a meal every once in a while. The Queen Mother wrung her eyebrows, "But the taste is similar to that of medicinal soup, and the mourning family really can't stand the smell, so they won't let them send it again." This one doesn't taste medicinal at all. ”
"So the fish lady is a miracle doctor! If she hadn't said it, I wouldn't have believed that there were medicinal herbs in this food, but it was delicious, and it didn't taste medicinal at all! The emperor said proudly, as if showing off his discerning knowledge of gold and jade, and made her the imperial lady. Not only is it a blessing, but also the health of the body is also worry-free. Kill two birds with one stone!
