Chapter 697: The undercurrent is surging
Rong Rong never expected that the result would be like this. Originally, I thought that she, a girl, mustered up the courage to say such a thing, even if there was a hard-hearted person opposite, she should be moved, but she didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor was not an iron-hearted person, but a stubborn person.
Even if Rong Rong was arrogant and willful at home, she didn't dare to play majestic in front of the emperor, the emperor waved her hand and motioned her out, she got up aggrievedly, and threw a look at her aunt Rong Guifei for help, but Rong Guifei pretended not to see it, and bowed her head to talk to the emperor.
Yang Ling went out of the palace and rode straight to the city, he didn't know about Rong Rong at all, and when he returned to the house, as soon as he rested, the porter came in to report, and someone sent a letter.
Yang Ling took the envelope and opened it, and there was only a note inside, which said that Rong Rong's unsuccessful request for the emperor to marry him. After reading it, Yang Ling threw the note on Ah Second, and went to the study with a cold face.
Ah Er glanced at the note, and trembled all over. He said in his heart, this daughter of the Rong family is really enough, she really doesn't understand the methods of his master.
The master showed him this note, the meaning was already obvious, let him read it!
What could he do? They are also the pearls of the Gyeonggi Wei chief's family, the nieces and uncles of the concubines, and they are all powerful figures in the court!
On the one hand, the master, on the other hand, he can't afford to offend, so he can only use means that are not on the table. Ah Er scratched his ears and cheeks, and thought about it for a long time.
The emperor's side raised it for an afternoon, and then drove back to the palace in the evening.
Princess Juqing is not yet an adult, the coffin was not carried into the palace, directly in the palace to decorate the funeral, carried to the imperial tomb next to the tomb for burial, the Ministry of Rites in accordance with the princess's etiquette, prepared a semi-grand funeral, submitted to the emperor for instructions.
Although the emperor didn't attach importance to this princess, but the princess died, it was also related to the royal royal line, and on the basis of the original, some funerals were added.
The Ministry of Rites now has limited funds, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu saw the funeral strokes, and he was so sad that he complained again and again, but there was no way, and if he couldn't do it, it would only make the emperor angry.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu didn't know why he could find the prince to turn into a fate, but since Taifu Rong said so, he would go. What he didn't expect was that the prince didn't say a word, so he asked people to take some gold, silver and jewelry from the private treasury and give them to the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was unexpectedly happy, and couldn't help but admire Taifu's divine calculation.
Naturally, the prince broke his fortune not to avoid disasters, he just felt ashamed of his youth.
After a few days of investigation, the general truth has surfaced, and the accidental fall into the water by the people behind the scenes led to her being killed, and Yang Ling's appearance happened to be the link to be used. The poison in the emperor's tea, as Yang Ling said, is not fatal, but if it is not detoxified for a long time, it will also make people cripple or even die.
Knowing this, it is not difficult to speculate on the motives and purposes of the people behind the scenes, just as Yang Ling speculated, the people behind the scenes came to him.
He is also indirectly involved in Blooming, he is different from other princes, although he is not so close to Bloombloom, but the bottom line of being a man is still there, so when the Ministry of Rites came to ask for finance, he didn't even hesitate, so he generously took it out.
Speaking of the facts of the case, having found the motives of the people behind the scenes, it is not difficult to think of who may be behind the scenes. Except for the benevolence of some women, the crown prince Lu Feiyi is actually not a stupid person, he is even smarter than those princes, but he is not suitable for this palace where power is tilted.
Coveted the position of the crown prince, but those older princes, the prince thought carefully about how he involved Yang Ling in this matter, thought about it, and thought of the follower Li Yun beside him.
It was Li Yun who told him that day, it was better to invite Yang Ling to go with him, he had always refused to admit his identity, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, in case he had any conspiracy, he would be able to detect it in time.
The prince absolutely believed that Yang Ling had a plan to come to Beijing, so he immediately went to tell the concubine to invite Yang Ling to go to the palace together, Rong Guifei did not refuse, and planned to send someone to tell Yang Ling in person, Mu Nanyun was also present at that time, and by the way, he received this task, because Yang Ling was in his military camp.
The inner ghost turned out to be someone close to him, which made the prince feel extremely angry, but when he caught Li Yun, he was already a corpse.
The clues were suddenly interrupted, and the prince could only check again from the beginning, but after checking and checking, it was just those things, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly thought of Yang Ling's words.
It turned out that Yang Ling had already given him a lot of hints. Like what...... The Six Princes.
The six princes were beside the blooming green that day, he kept calling Yang Ling to save the blooming green, the prince pulled the six princes, returned to the lotus pond in the palace, and stood at the place where the blooming green fell into the water that day, so that the six princes were still standing in the position where he was originally standing, and he went to take the route that Yang Ling took that day, and found that standing in Yang Ling's position could see everything on the bridge, but it was impossible for the six princes to stand Yang Ling next to the purple gold flower under the bridge.
Until Yang Ling made a move, it was impossible for the six princes to see Yang Ling.
As for Yang Ling's shot, it will naturally be visible, but those are not important.
The crown prince immediately tortured the six princes, who instructed him to call Yang Ling, and the six princes couldn't bear the torture and recruited the second prince.
The horses surrounded the second prince's mansion overnight and arrested the second prince, and the facts were clear, because the prince was involved, the case was transferred to the Inner Court Division, which presided over the trial.
A case of rebellion finally came to an end, the second prince couldn't survive the torture in the inner court division, and recruited him to have a strategist, surnamed Jia Mingren, it was he who came up with these ideas, the inner court department sent someone to get Jia Ren, but he didn't even get a shadow, and in the end, the inner court division judged that the second prince had created such a person, trying to reduce the punishment, and reported the result to the emperor.
After the results of the trial were reported to the emperor, it was the day of the court meeting, the emperor asked Yang Ling to go to the palace, and in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, Yang Ling's true identity was announced, because he knew that Yang Ling refused to change his name and surname, and the emperor did not look for that unhappy in the court, but just used his name to canonize him as the prince of Ling, and the mansion was changed from Yang's mansion to Ling's prince's mansion. The emperor asked Rong Value's opinion, but Rong Value did not refuse, but arranged a position that was not low in rank but had no real power for him, the official was called the Captain of the Guard, and he was in charge of public security near the suburbs of Beijing.
The civil and military minds of the Manchu Dynasty were different, and when they were studied carefully, there were actually only two or three kinds of psychology, some of them had the psychology of watching a play, and some of them had the psychology of gloating.
And for others, the psychology is much more complicated. These people are people who have experienced the bloody case of the Wang family.
Therefore, the queen has passed away for 20 years, and the wind and rain of 20 years ago have also disappeared, and there are not many people left who have experienced that bloody scene in the court, and those who can be left are all giant old foxes with deep faces, most of these people have already stood in the Rong team, and now they just need to watch coldly, how Yang Ling was eaten by the Rong family to the bone.
And there are still a few people who have always stayed out of the matter and not stood in line. Not taking sides does not mean that they have no tendencies in their hearts, but that they can only choose to watch in order not to violate their conscience.
Yang Ling accepted the seal ribbon very indifferently, and thanked Rong Wei with a smile, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty felt for a while that this Yang Ling came from the countryside, he really didn't have any knowledge, I don't know if this captain is just an idle position?
In any case, Yang Ling can be regarded as temporarily gaining a foothold in Beijing.
The situation in Beijing is turbulent, and the waves have begun to splash on the surface, and the dangerous atmosphere is already about to move, and some people with a keen sense of smell are more cautious and cautious.
Yang Ling was in the turbulent situation, and he was doing things according to his own plan.
In Nanping, An'an's full moon banquet has arrived as scheduled.
Qu Xiaobai did not hold a big banquet according to the original plan, but just let the women on the Zhuangzi set up a big pot on the day of the full moon banquet, half boiled eggs and half stewed meat, so that the whole Zhuangzi people enjoyed eating, and set up a few small banquets in the house at noon, inviting the leaders of the Zhuangzi, taking the opportunity of the banquet, and telling them the plan for the next few months, and what she declared to them was that she would continue the unfinished trip to the south last year and open the shop to the capital.
Those who were not close to her did not realize that she was walking towards danger, and after a happy gathering, they all left with great ambition.
After the end of the song, after the people dispersed, they took a short rest, and at night, Qu Xiaobai returned to his house, took off his makeup, changed into a simple and crisp clothes, greeted Luoluo, Ah Wu Ah Liu, and Dong Lang, hugged An An, and went to Zixu Villa opposite Xiaobai Mountain overnight.
When she arrived at Zixu Villa, it was already the end of the night, Qu Xiaobai handed over An An, who was already asleep, to Luoluo to take care of, and she called Ah Wu and went to the study.
When the two of them arrived at the study, they were just about to close the door, and Ah Liu also followed, and Qu Xiaobai said, "Sixth master, you close the door." ”
Ah Liu grinned and closed the door and said, "Little master, can you give the word 'master'?" I can't afford it. ”
"Don't everyone call you master?" Qu Xiaobai was also in a good mood today, and he started a fork with Ah Liu.
"They are them, you are you."
"They're human, I'm not human?"
Ah Liu's expression was gloomy and he closed his mouth. The bickering mouth can't fight her, and she is willing to bow down.
