Chapter 180: Ventilation
At the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion, which was surrounded by officers and soldiers, the people in charge of transporting vegetables and meat every day waited at the door, watching the officers and soldiers inspect the ingredients one by one.
After passing the inspection and finding that there were no suspicious things mixed in it, the officers and soldiers allowed the people of the Second Prince's Mansion to take these ingredients from the door and transport them into the mansion.
Whether it is the people in the mansion or the people who come to deliver the ingredients, they are not allowed to cross the threshold of more than one foot high in the Second Prince's Mansion.
After a busy time, all the ingredients were transported into the Prince's Mansion, and the door was closed again. Overnight, a lot of things seemed to happen, but just this one gate isolated the Second Prince's Mansion from the outside world.
"Your Highness, there is news from Prime Minister Chen's side."
When Situ Junhao was sitting in the study, looking anxious, the steward took a small roll of paper and walked into the study.
"Grandpa has news? How did it get in? ”
As a result, the small note in the steward's hand, Situ Junhao found that the note was stained with some white, soft and wet things.
"It's stuffed into the tofu and transported in, and the other ingredients will be checked, only the tofu is piece-by-piece, and it won't be crushed for inspection, so the note is put in when making tofu, and when the tofu is formed, the note is inside, and you can't see it from the outside."
The steward is an old man of the Chen family, so he naturally knows some of the Chen family's ways of delivering news, so after the ingredients were transported to the kitchen, he kicked everyone out on the pretext of checking whether the ingredients had been tampered with.
Then he crushed half of the plate of tofu cubes, and then found the note.
"Okay, grandpa said that he has already sent that politician on the road, so we don't have to worry about him confessing something.
My grandfather said that I heard from the inside of Dali Temple that this time the prince's mansion was besieged, and it was Taiwei Yu who handed over a few letters to his father, and his father knew that the Pei brothers had dealings with Dayuguo, and at the same time, because of the two letters from the prince's mansion and Pei Guangyuan, this involved the prince's mansion. ”
After reading the letter quickly, Situ Junhao slapped the table violently.
"His Royal Highness said that how could my father suddenly know about the affairs of Yunzhou Mansion, and also knew that the political affairs in the palace were related to the Pei brothers, and it turned out that Situ Junjiang had done it and obtained the letters of the Pei brothers.
Damn, the Pei brothers are just rubbish, how could such an important letter be discovered so easily. And the letter was lost, and they dared not inform His Highness, they were simply looking for death! ”
"Your Highness, in the humble opinion of your subordinates, the Pei brothers may not even know that the letter is missing. Otherwise, they and His Highness will be both prosperous and lossy, and they will definitely not dare to hide such a big thing. ”
The steward followed Prime Minister Chen Cheng when he was young, and he had the ability to do things and his eyesight, that is, Prime Minister Chen Cheng felt sorry for his grandson, so he sent him to the prince's mansion to be a steward.
"Moreover, Your Highness, didn't you see that the Prime Minister of the city said that he has sent someone to Yunzhou Mansion to negotiate with the Pei brothers, preparing to advance the winter hunt of the Great Yu Kingdom and create chaos for the emperor."
"Well, since my father has no direct evidence to prove that this hall intends to rebel, he will definitely not easily punish this palace.
Just like my grandfather said, my father has always been suspicious, and this letter was sent to the palace by Yu Taiwei, but after all, Yu Taiwei is the prince's teacher, and I believe that my father will also be suspicious of the prince in his heart.
Time, what I need now is time, as long as the attack of the Great Yu Kingdom begins, my father will no longer focus on the main hall. At that time, it was time for the main hall to let go of its hands and feet to do things! ”
With a cold smile, Situ Junhao's face didn't care about the father-son relationship.
He only thinks about the soldiers and horses of the Dayu Kingdom as quickly as possible, and the more people they kill, the better, so that Emperor Baoxuan, the court, and the people of the Tianqi Dynasty can panic.
The two days passed quickly, and under the rush of changing horses all the way regardless of losses, Chen Chengxiang's subordinates finally entered Yunzhou Mansion and came to Pei Guangqing's prefect's yamen.
"My lord, someone has asked to see me with this token."
Chai Zhushu held a token in his hand and hurriedly ran in.
"It is! Quick, bring people in! ”
As soon as Pei Guangqing saw the token, he immediately stood up and said to Master Chai.
This token Pei Guangqing knew, it was the token of Prime Minister Chen Cheng, the prime minister of the dynasty. When he went to Beijing to express his allegiance to the second prince, he had met Prime Minister Chen.
At that time, Prime Minister Chen Cheng also specially asked him to remember the style of this token, saying that when something big happened, someone would come to him with this token.
Unexpectedly, he really had the time to see this token again. But I don't know what happened in Beijing, which made Pei Guangqing a little restless.
The short distance from the door of the house to the study made Pei Guangqing feel as if he had been waiting for a year. Finally, under Pei Guangqing's anxious gaze, Master Chai walked in briskly with two middle-aged men.
"In Xia Chen Deng, meet Master Pei."
"Under Chen Sheng, I've seen adults."
The two of them hugged their fists in turn and saluted Pei Guangqing, and it can be seen from their names that both of them are surnamed Chen, and they may be of the same clan as Prime Minister Chen Cheng.
"The two of them came from afar, and they also brought Prime Minister Chen's token, but what happened in Beijing?"
Although it is suspected that the two may be the same clan of Prime Minister Chen Cheng, Pei Guangqing has no time to investigate it now, and he wants to know what happened in Beijing.
"Master Pei, the secret letter in your hands with the Prince's Mansion and General Tuofeng has been stolen, and now it has been handed over to the emperor.
The second prince has been confined in the palace and cannot come out, and the evidence of your friendship with General Tuofeng is conclusive, and the emperor has ordered to send someone to arrest you. ”
Chen Deng looked older and seemed to be in the position of the main thing between the two, so he stepped forward and said to Pei Guangqing.
"After Prime Minister Chen received the news, he immediately sent a message to my two brothers, asking us to come and inform Master Pei with the token, so that Lord Pei would immediately cooperate with General Tuofeng, and start the 'winter hunt'!
The place where the two of us are located is closer to you than the capital, and we have not stopped for a moment, so we came to Yunzhou Mansion before the arrival of the holy decree and communicated with you. ”
"What, something like this! Master Chai, go and see if the secret letter is still there! ”
Listening to Chen Deng's words, Pei Guangqing's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted towards the Chai master book on the side.
Chai Zhushu didn't have time to respond, so he ran out directly, and in less than a cup of tea, he ran back sweating again.
"My lord, your secret letter is still there, open it, yes, there is a problem with the secret letter from the second master's side."
