"Fan Yao."
"The subordinates are here."
"Prepare the car and enter the palace."
"Now?"
"Hmm."
In the study, the glass incense burner exudes the scent of orchids. Lian Qingjue held the hand stove and reclined on the soft couch.
"But today, you took a leave of absence on the grounds that you were unwell, and if you enter the palace now, I am afraid that the emperor will ......"
Although it was just noon, the weather was dark and cold today, and Fan Yao looked at his son with some hesitation.
"Besides, you have been taking care of Master Gu since last night, and your health is not good, so you might as well go again tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter."
Lian Qingjue got up from the soft couch and straightened the cloak on his body.
"However, although there are confessions from the people around Cai Yong, it is obviously not enough to use these testimonies to accuse Cai Yong of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the people we sent to collect evidence in Bo Yan Country will take at least three days to come back, why don't you wait?"
Although Lian Qingjue didn't say it explicitly, Fan Yao knew what his son-in-law was saying about entering the palace this time, but when he thought of the current situation, Fan Yao was a little worried.
"I have my own opinions."
Lian Qingjue glanced at Fan Yao lightly, then stared down at the delicate hand stove in his hand.
"Childe is it for Lord Gu?"
Fan Yao hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to ask.
"Yes and no."
Although Lian Qingjue smiled shallowly, Fan Yao obviously felt a fierceness from it.
"Cai Yong caught Caizhi this time, thinking that he wanted to use Caizhi to force me to bow to him, and then settle this matter with me privately. But he didn't expect that I would dare to risk being punished and go straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion in disregard of the laws and regulations of Yuguo, so last night in front of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, I rescued Cai Zhi, and Cai Yong's crime of murdering the court officials could not escape. This is one of them, and the second is that since Cai Yong dared to design to arrest Cai Zhi yesterday, he dared to use a trick to kidnap Ah Wan today, or even attack me directly. Therefore, letting him get away with it for one more day means that the people I care about will be more dangerous, and I don't want this extra danger. Therefore, Cai Yong must be eliminated today. ”
"My subordinates understand, but listening to what Gongzi said, Cai Yong's move is really unwise."
After listening to Lian Qingjue's words, Fan Yao suddenly realized.
"Maybe there's something that messes him up."
Even Qingjue still smiled at the corner of his lips, playing with the hand stove in his hand.
……
"Your Majesty, Lord Lian is here."
In the palace, in the Hanfang Palace, Feng Yusheng was listening to Wen Xianchu singing the unique minor tune of Jiangnan with great interest, but Cao Fuxi suddenly walked in lightly and whispered in front of Feng Yusheng.
"Qingjue? Isn't he sick? What to do at this time? ”
Feng Yusheng took a sip of sake from the jade bottle on the table, thought about it, waved his hand to Wen Xianchu, who was still babbling and singing, and looked at Cao Fuxi again.
"Let him in."
"Yes".
Cao Fuxi blessed his body, then turned around and went out to spread the word. Wen Xianchu, who was standing on the side, slowly walked to Feng Yusheng's side, picked up the wine jug and filled the empty jade bottle in front of Feng Yusheng with wine.
"Then the emperor, Xian Chu also retired first."
"You don't have to go."
Feng Yusheng grabbed Wen Xianchu's wrist, and with a little force, he pulled Wen Xianchu to sit next to him.
"It shouldn't be too important, just sit here."
"Yes."
Feng Yusheng spoke, and Wen Xianchu sat there quietly and said no more.
"The ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
After a while, Lian Qingjue walked in with Cao Fuxi in a white official uniform and a cloak of the same color.
"Aiqing is flat, I heard that Aiqing is not in good health this morning, so Aiqing came to me at this time, what is the so-called matter?"
Feng Yusheng looked at Lian Qingjue's somewhat pale face, and gestured slightly to Cao Fuxi, who was standing aside, and Cao Fuxi hurriedly moved a chair from the side and put it behind Lian Qingjue.
"Sit down and talk about something."
"Your Majesty."
Lian Qingjue thanked him, and sat down with his clothes on the hem of his clothes, but when he looked up and saw Wen Xianchu beside Feng Yusheng with a low eyebrows and a gentle face, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Your Majesty, what the minister wants to tell the emperor about this time is the same incident last time."
"Huh?"
Feng Yusheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what Lian Qingjue had told him a few days ago that Cai Yong was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
"Then Lian Qing is now conclusive?"
"No, but ......"
Even Qingjue replied to Feng Yusheng's words, but stared at Wen Xianchu with a faint smile.
"Your Majesty, Xian Chu made a set of costumes a few days ago, and now it should be almost done, in order to prevent mistakes, Xian Chu has to go to the Clothing Bureau to take a look in person."
Understanding what Lian Qingjue meant, Wen Xianchu whispered to Feng Yusheng.
"Then you go."
Feng Yusheng patted Wen Xianchu's arm and watched him walk out with a smile. This Wen Xianchu is really gentle and kind, and sensible, much better than Cui Jiuling. However, when he thought of the deceased person, Feng Yusheng's eyes couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
"Your Majesty?"
Seeing Wen Xianchu leaving, Feng Yusheng sat there in a daze, and Lian Qingjue called.
"Huh?"
Feng Yusheng came back to his senses, waved his hand at Cao Fuxi, and saw that only himself and Lian Qingjue were left in the hall, so he stared at Lian Qingjue with some seriousness.
"Lian Qing, you said that you have no conclusive evidence, so come today, but there is other news?"
"Although the minister has no conclusive evidence now, he still wants to ask the emperor to put Cai Yong in prison first, and wait for his fate."
Even Qingjue was not surprised when he looked at Feng Yusheng's deeper and deeper frowns and the puzzlement in his eyes.
"Yesterday, Cai Yong used a trick to kidnap Gu Caizhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and imprisoned him in a dark room, just this crime of murdering the court officials is enough to put Cai Yong in prison pending trial."
"What do you say? Cai Yong kidnapped Gu Caizhi? Why did he arrest Gu Caizhi? ”
Feng Yusheng was unexpected.
"It's probably because Lord Gu has won the emperor's trust, so I want to attack Lord Gu first."
Even Qing Jue didn't blink when he lied.
"Cai Yong's whole house knows about this."
"Oh? With Cai Yong's temperament, this matter must be done without leakage, covering people's eyes and ears, how can the whole house know about it? ”
Feng Yusheng couldn't help but be a little skeptical.
"Because Lord Gu was rescued from the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle of the night last night."
Even Qingjue still had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You rescued him?"
Feng Yusheng frowned slightly and looked at Lian Qingjue.
"Since Lord Gu took office, he has only interacted more with ministers because of handling cases, so after he disappeared yesterday, the little servant who served him had no other way, so he came to the ministers for help. The minister thought that since he was an official in the same dynasty as Lord Gu, he would definitely be helped, but he followed some clues and found the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then found Lord Gu in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"There is such a thing!"
Feng Yusheng was shocked and angry, and then ordered Cao Fuxi outside the hall: "Cao Fuxi, go and call Yang Qingwei." ”
"Yes."
Outside the hall, Cao Fuxi answered, and hurried to pass on Yang Qingwei.
