Chapter 267: Tracing Gunpowder
What King Shou did was naturally checked from the official ship, and there were naturally no clues, but the Cao Gang was different, the Cao Gang had always transported goods in a very large and disorganized manner, and the court was inconvenient to manage, so they turned a blind eye, so many dignitaries and nobles took advantage of this to bring private goods.
Some people are happy and some are worried, and the world is impermanent. Naturally, the people in Ye Linchen's mansion and Gao Yu and others were happy that Ye Linchen had recently been favored in front of Emperor Li.
As for worry, King Shou's temper has become more and more hot recently, and even Princess Shou has been reprimanded by King Shou several times. For King Shou, it was originally interlocking, and the foolproof opportunity was actually taken away by Ye Linchen, who was killed halfway.
After that day, he sent his subordinates to the vicinity of the reservoir to check how the situation was, and his subordinates replied to him that the people affected by the disaster were grateful to King Ding, and they all said that His Royal Highness King Ding was kind and sympathetic to the people. King Shou was naturally angry when he heard this, but he never thought that King Ding was also a clumsy person. I don't know if I underestimated him before, or if someone was helping him behind his back to make him his current status again.
"Your Highness, my subordinates don't think you need to worry." A blue-robed scribe stood up and said, "My subordinates think that King Ding's person is not to be feared, if there is a war at the border at this moment, do you say he wants to go?" ”
"Brother Yan, this is reasonable. His subordinates thought that His Highness only needed to let people start the matter, and let His Majesty appoint King Ding to rush to the border to fight. In this way, the king had to stay away from the court again. One of the gray-robed men stood up and chimed in.
Looking at the people who were talking with a smile, Jiang Huaixin had a cold look on his face, "This method is just a delaying tactic, not a long-term friendship, and my subordinates think that they should be cut down and eradicated." On the battlefield, there is no sword and no eyes...... Even if you lose your life because of a stray arrow, it's just a common thing. And when the war is not settled, Your Majesty is bound to appoint you as the prince to calm the hearts of the people in the world. ”
Listening to the discussions of his subordinates, although King Shou had a smile on his face, he was still a little hesitant in his heart. However, it was also a good idea to let Ye Linchen go to the border again, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to test who was beside Ye Linchen to give him advice.
There was a trace of ruthlessness in King Shou's eyes, no matter who it was, he would never show mercy to his subordinates. Although it is not difficult to make Yanmen cause chaos, I am afraid that my father will not easily agree to him, after all, according to what my father has done recently, he has the intention of supporting Ye Linchen to compete with himself.
"In a few days, the grassland area will enter the barren season, and I believe that you will send some people to the grassland to lobby the khans of various departments, so that they can think of harassing Yanmen." Shouwang Ying's eyes sneered slightly: "The bigger the movement, the better, and there will be heavy thanks after the matter is completed." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey." Qingyan got up and took the order.
The layout of King Shou's side is in full swing. At the same time, Xie Yaoguang also made progress. She has always known how to make good use of people, and there are no useless people around her, so she quickly found out the clues of what King Shou did after borrowing the Cao Gang as a cover. When Xie Yaoguang learned the news, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and he was a little more jealous of King Shou, King Shou was really cautious in doing things.
However, Baimi is still negligent, and sometimes the more flawless things are actually full of loopholes. For example, Shouwang is a good example.
According to the records obtained from the Cao Gang. Shouwangfu is indeed the most closely associated with the Lei family in the Guangling area. As for the business done by the Lei family, it is quite interesting...... The survival of gunpowder alone is enough to make the Lei family rich, and the Lei family has always been quite prestigious in the rivers and lakes. I don't know why the Lei family of this thunderbolt hall is stirred into the muddy waters of the court.
It's just that compared to the fact that King Shou and Perak Hall had a close relationship, she wanted to know where King Shou got Wushisan, although with King Shou's strength, it was not difficult to hide from the world in this matter, but she really didn't believe it if she couldn't find any clues in the records of the Cao Gang. Unless King Shou did not use the cover of the Cao Gang to achieve his goals.
At the moment, it seems that the strength of Shouwang is indeed underestimated. Of course, after the prince's accident, the appearance of the three-legged stand in the harem has also become a dominant family. In the eyes of Empress Xu, the concubine was obedient and respectful to herself, and Empress Xu was naturally very satisfied with the concubine, feeling that she couldn't set off the storm.
The wind direction above the court is also expected, and the people who originally belonged to the prince's party have defected to King Shou. In order to show his generosity and appreciation of talents, King Shou was naturally happy and didn't care who their old master was. On the other hand, Ye Linchen has not changed much because of the crown prince.
On the second day after the crown prince was deposed and demoted, Xie Yaoguang received a letter from Qin Yan Feige, saying that he had assigned the students of Jixia Academy to take Tingliao back to Beijing to visit relatives. After learning the news, Xie Yaoguang sent someone to pass the news to Ye Linchen, and the two made an appointment to meet at the mansion.
Three days later, Ting Liao bid farewell to the senior brother of the academy and returned to Xie's house. The first to come out to greet him was naturally Xie Yaoguang, who had missed him for many days. During his days at Jixia Academy, he had also heard from many teachers and senior brothers and sisters in the academy who commented on her.
Recalling Xie Yaoguang's care for him a few months ago and the fact that he was introduced to Qin Yan to be able to worship Jixia Academy, Ting Liao's eyes showed a little emotion.
"Tingliao!" Ye Linchen's voice came from behind him happily.
"Your Highness."
The two spoke in unison.
Ye Linchen, who looked happy, waved his hand to signal that the two did not need to be polite.
On the contrary, Ting Liao saw that Ye Linchen was coming, and after getting permission, he bowed his knees to Xie Yaoguang with a respectful attitude, "Mr. Xie is above, please accept Ting Liao's worship." Without you back then, I was afraid that I was still locked up in the court and prison, how could I be today. ”
"What are you doing with so much courtesy, if it weren't for your own talent, I wouldn't have been able to rescue you so easily." Xie Yaoguang raised his hand and motioned for Ting Liao to get up, turned his head and instructed Suzaku to say, "Suzaku, you take Tingliao to read in the library pavilion of the mansion, I have something to discuss with His Highness." ”
After Suzaku led Ting Liao away, Xie Yaoguang led Ye Linchen into the flower hall together. In the flower hall, melon and fruit tea are prepared according to the custom, and the host and guests sit on both sides of the small table.
Ye Linchen, who had just sat down, took the tea, raised his eyes and asked, "Yaoyao, do you think the prince will be able to get to Qianzhou smoothly?" ”
"I don't know." Xie Yaoguang fiddled with the foam on the medicinal tea in his hand with the lid of the cup, lowered his eyes and sneered: "But the crown prince, he is always His Majesty's flesh and blood, and His Majesty will still send someone to protect him all the way no matter how disappointed he is." As for King Shou, I think as long as he is not stupid, he should understand that there is no need to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of an opponent like the crown prince, who has lost his value......"
