Chapter 66 The first emperor is a secret chess, and the iron mine murder case is opened
King Ning is also peaceful, honestly being his idle prince in Jiangnan, on the surface, it seems that he is really grateful to the emperor, if it weren't for one thing that aroused the emperor's vigilance, I and the third brother or more people, the chess pieces left by the first emperor to deal with King Ning would be invalidated.
In the third year of His Majesty's accession to the throne, when Dali Temple investigated the case, he inadvertently found an iron ore illegally mined by imprisoning laborers, and the person who investigated the case found out that the illegal mining officials had some connections with King Ning, and then the person who investigated the case was killed, but some information went to the emperor's hands.
The emperor had just started his pro-government that year, and the power in his hands had not been completely replaced, and he did not publicize this matter, the matter itself was complicated, and the iron mine had always only belonged to the control of the imperial court. It may be for a deeper purpose, iron, in addition to daily iron tools, that is, weapons, I don't know what the scale of that iron mine is. If it is very large, it is to make weapons, and there is only one use for what private weapons can do, and that is to arm the army - rebellion.
The emperor was terrified!
On the other hand, the emperor is young, he has only been in power for a long time, and the power in the court is still scattered. Officials privately run iron mines, and after being discovered, someone dared to kill the person who investigated the case, which is not insignificant.
And if this matter is not for the fact that the person investigating the case is the emperor's personal guard, I am afraid that this matter will have to be buried, which shows that there must be people in the court who are in the same party, and the people in the court cannot be trusted.
The little emperor who had just become pro-government remembered what his father said to him when he was dying: "If you feel that the people in the court cannot be trusted, open the bag behind the plaque." The Emperor coughed and said, "However, I hope that there is no need for the Emperor to open it, because that means ......" The Emperor did not finish, but just looked outside.
The little emperor ordered someone to take down the plaque behind the bag, it turned out that the first emperor calculated the arrival of this day, and left himself a secret chess, so far His Majesty the emperor began to lay out, and since then, the test of rigidity has followed, and then began to move smoothly. And the truth behind the Yongping Wangfu Destruction Case also began to slowly unfold in front of Ling Cangyu through the hands of King Xian.
This is why Ling Cangyu found out the truth so smoothly later.
Ling Cangyu sighed: "The first emperor is really thoughtful. “
"The secret letter from the first emperor should specifically mention the third brother, you and Prime Minister Li, and I am the Ming chess left by the first emperor to the current majesty to control the third brother."
I expressed this thought, but Ling Cangyu shook his head: "Not only that, the person who took special care of you in the Qinglou back then was Prime Minister Li, so Lord Li was also in the ranks, and the first emperor was very accurate in manipulating people's hearts." ”
"Is it Prime Minister Li?" I exclaimed, "He really takes care of our family." ”
Ling Cangyu looked at me: "Yes, when the Yongping Mansion collapsed, so many people who were good friends with their father and mother, most of them were powerful people in the court, and they all had a long-term attitude, and in the end, only he remembered to take care of you, and worked hard to climb to the peak of power to rehabilitate my Ling family." ”
"Third brother, you only said that your father had a life-saving grace for Prime Minister Li, how did you save his life and make him so grateful to Dade?"
Ling Cangyu thought for a while: "I was not very old at that time, I only knew that Prime Minister Li was born in the Li family in Kaifeng, his father was the household servant at that time, and he was also a famous family in the court, and his mother was the only daughter of a member in the suburbs of the capital, and she had a marriage contract, but for some reason she later married his father as a concubine, and Li Xing was just a concubine, and he was not favored. When he was about five or six years old, he was rescued by his father in an attack in the woods outside the city, and then he followed his father to practice martial arts. I have the impression that he often comes to our house, rarely mentions the affairs of his own family, and his father and mother seem to treat him as their own children, and we will prepare a copy for him. Li Xing is diligent and diligent, and his father said that he will be the pillar of the country in the future, but now it seems that his father did not look away. ”
Taking advantage of Ling Cangyu's pause to drink tea, I expressed my opinion: "In this way, Prime Minister Li really knows how to be grateful." ”
Ling Cangyu rubbed my head: "Yes, it's not in vain for my father and mother to treat him like that." He was admitted to the top prize at a young age, in addition to his own talent, it is also inseparable from his hard work. ”
I shrugged my shoulders: "Prime Minister Li's life is like a plug-in." ”
"What is a plug-in?"
"It's a special skill, if God helps."
The third brother savored it: "The ethereal words are very appropriate. ”
"And what about later? Where was he when something happened to our family? He's so close to us, isn't he implicated? ”
"After Li Xing won the champion, the imperial court transferred him to a county seat as a county magistrate, when our family had an accident, he was just a prefect, even if he had the heart, he was powerless, besides, the change in our house came so quickly, beyond reach. In fact, I also suspected him at the time, my father and mother treated him like that, and he didn't react at all when something happened in our house, which was really wolf-hearted. Ling Cangyu said that he was a little embarrassed in the back.
When I saw him like this, I deliberately made him happy, pinched my nose and learned: "What a wolf-hearted dog, what a white-eyed wolf!" ”
The third brother pinched my nose angrily: "Naughty." ”
"Then how did the third brother know that Prime Minister Li Cheng would help us rehabilitate?"
"What the king told should have been arranged by the first emperor."
"If you die, you have to play with others in the palm of your hand, the first emperor really responded to that sentence, and it is easy to fold if you are too wise."
The third brother didn't reply, just sighed, I suddenly reacted, although the person in front of me said that he was arranged by someone with a heart, but he also relied on his own wisdom to redress the grievances of the family, and the process in the middle was also difficult, how could he do it without extraordinary wisdom, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor would not have bothered to use me, the cannon fodder, to force him back to his side for his own use.
"That, the third brother loves his sister like this, he must be wise and long-lived, and he will marry a wife and have children in the future, and his life will be safe."
Ling Cangyu smiled lightly: "There is such an ethereal interpretation flower, I'm afraid that ordinary women can't get into the eyes of the third brother, how can this be good?" ”
I looked at Ling Cangyu's expression, although his home was destroyed by the royal family, but after being rehabilitated, he probably understood the truth that the past cannot be traced, he did not fall silent in hatred, nor was he depressed after the revenge, but with the open-mindedness of looking forward and taking advantage of the trend, he is a transparent person who lives clearly.
"That's a girl like me who is empathetic, loved by everyone, and blooms when she sees flowers, that is absolutely the only one in the world, unique. The third brother still lowered his requirements a little bit, he didn't ask for any background, he was right, as long as the third brother liked it, I would support it. ”
Ling Cangyu only smiled lightly: "Little girl, do you have someone you like?" ”
