Chapter 151: Counting is Counting
After Yu Jinse asked this, the atmosphere in the room was a little stiff for a while, but she has never been a master who can put on music, and she is facing Xiang'er, and she will not be too angry, but this time she has no intention of backing down.
Seeing that Xiang'er didn't say anything for a long time, she added lightly: "You just say it truthfully." ”
Xiang'er was slightly blessed and said: "Miss Hui's words, it is because the slave and maid see that you seem to have a good relationship with the prince, and the prince said that there is no need to report, and the slave and maid have no manners." ”
Yu Jinse looked at the ink marks on the table that were gradually drying up, nodded and said, "I know, but I won't allow it in the future." I'm a woman, and it's inconvenient for my eldest brother to be my brother. Xiang'er, you know how to measure the most, I think you should understand what I mean, right? ”
Xiang'er is good at figuring out the master's thoughts, Yu Jinse said this, she understood what she meant in her heart, and immediately admitted her mistake: "It's the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid know, and they will also knock the people below." ”
Yu Jinse saw Xiang'er go out, so he got up and walked to the window.
Others only thought that she was tired of practicing calligraphy, but in fact she was observing whether anyone was approaching her house, and when she saw that everyone was doing what she was doing, she closed the window carelessly.
She hurried to the table, then took out a blank piece of paper from the side, picked up the pen and began to write. She wrote very quickly, and her eyebrows frowned tightly, and from time to time she would glance at the closed door, as if she was afraid that someone would come.
Take a closer look, there are all names written on it, and they are all the names of important ministers in the court.
That's right, this is what Yu Jinse saw in the account book in Prince Gong's study!
She only looked at it cursoryly, and the silver on it was terrifyingly large! She couldn't take the account book away, so she could only write down the names of the people on it, but she only remembered a rough idea, and she simply wrote down the words she remembered if she couldn't remember everything.
She only hoped that this thing would help Watara.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, Yu Jinse's hands trembled in fright, and he immediately put down the brush, and then pulled the words he had practiced on the side and put them on it, then he settled down and asked out loud: "What's wrong?" ”
Xiang'er's voice sounded outside: "Miss, it's time to take medicine." ”
Yu Jinse glanced at the things on his desk and said, "Take it down, I'll use it later." ”
When there was no sound outside, Yu Jinse took out the paper that was pressed underneath, and the undried ink marks caused the paper to be everywhere, but fortunately, she could still see it, and she didn't plan to rewrite it.
After blowing it again and letting it dry for a long time, she folded the paper, took an envelope from the side to put it up, and was still a little uneasy, and sealed it with a red seal.
After thinking about it, I still brought this thing with me.
When she was done, she opened the door and went out.
That night, someone knocked on her window, and she immediately got out of bed and gave the man in black what she had written today, and whispered: "You must not deal with others, and when you come back, you will hand it over to him personally." ”
The man in black didn't squeak, just clasped his fists and saluted.
Yu Jinse was relieved after handing over the things to the man in black, and his tense nerves relaxed, feeling that his whole body was out of energy, and he fell asleep as soon as he got into bed.
It's just that many people are destined to be unable to sleep this night.
The next day, it was the five-day court meeting, and all the ministers of the court and the central government came to the main hall early to wait.
The ministers have talked about the recent events, but the whole country is now in good shape, except for the Xiongnu who brought 20,000 horses to harass the border, there is no big deal, so they can't say anything famous.
The emperor's health was not very good, and seeing that the ministers did not say anything important, he waved his hand and signaled the chief eunuch on the side to retreat.
Although the chief eunuch had been hanging his head, his eyes were looking towards the emperor with a wrong look, and when he saw this, he immediately straightened his waist and shouted loudly: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”
Normally, after the chief eunuch said this, there would not be any prince and minister who would continue to play the ceremony without interest.
Therefore, when the crown prince came out and said that there was a gift, the officials who were already preparing to salute and send the emperor away were all in their hearts, and they were suddenly sober.
The prince is not a disproportionate, and it must be a big deal to talk about things at this time, and it will endanger their interests. Thinking of this, everyone stood with their heads bowed more and more respectfully, but their ears were eager to reach the prince's side.
The crown prince didn't care about those individuals, and said unhurriedly: "Back to my father, my son recently got the news from Lord Lee, an official of Gyeonggi, that he felt that there was something wrong with the grain and grass. When he went to the city gate to see off someone, he happened to see a bag on the car broken, and he reminded him, and the soldiers accompanying him seemed very nervous, and immediately tied the bag. ”
After he went back, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and it didn't look like grain and grass, so after thinking about it, Tete and his sons went to write a letter. Erchen couldn't afford to be lazy because he knew about the border, so he went to investigate. ”
The emperor frowned, and said coldly: "But what is the result?" ”
"Erchen sent people to catch up with the soldiers who were escorting grain and grass, but they didn't dare to act rashly, lest they misunderstand that a futile increase in unhappiness, and they were even more afraid of delaying their trip, and the soldiers on the border would not be hungry, so let them secretly investigate."
The prince's face, which always smiled gently, was full of solemnity, and seemed to carry a trace of indignation and sorrow.
Sure enough, the food they were escorting was not grain and grass at all, most of them were dregs, and only a few bags on the noodles were grain. If they didn't know, it wouldn't be enough, apparently the escort officer knew, and they also tied up the grain and grass superintendent! ”
When the ministers heard the prince's words, they only felt that he had a deep meaning! As far as they knew, the escort officer had worked under Prince Gong, and the prince might not have been aiming at whom he was talking about it.
The people standing on the prince's side were all watching a good show, and the people standing on Prince Gong's side were naturally tense up, for fear that Prince Gong would have an accident and affect them.
There is no one standing anywhere, so it would be nice to look at the direction of the wind in the middle of the court and say something appropriate at the right time, after all, such a thing as flying and causing trouble is not always there.
I saw that the emperor stood up from the dragon chair and said angrily: "Lawless! Dare to move the grain sent to the border, don't they know that there is still a war on the border? Is this treason for trying to collaborate with the enemy? ”
The emperor's words suddenly made the matter even more serious, and the general greed for ink and the crime of treason with the enemy cannot be compared. At this moment, all the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee were as silent as cicadas, and they did not dare to say a word, for fear of setting themselves on fire.
The emperor, who was standing on the throne, took a deep breath and calmed down his anger a little, and then said sharply: "Check!" ”
Just one word shows how angry the emperor is now, and how miserable the fate of the people who are found out will be, I am afraid that there will be no place to turn over.
Wei Pan stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the most important thing now is to send grain and grass to the border, and the soldiers must not go without food for a day, but I am afraid that the Huns will take the opportunity to besiege and attack it when they get the news." ”
The emperor nodded: "Aiqing is quite reasonable. Wu Aiqing, I'll leave this matter to you! The matter of stealing grain and grass cannot be delayed, prince, let you investigate! ”
Lord Wu stepped forward and saluted, and said generously: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
And the crown prince seemed a little flustered at this time: "Father, son, ......"
"What are you doing?" The emperor frowned and said, "How can you be like this as the crown prince?" ”
The emperor used to pay the most attention to balancing the political situation, but now that he is old and his health is not good, he has lost that patience, and now he has encountered such a bad thing, and he has not left any face for the prince.
The prince was a little unhappy in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he still had concerns and said: "Father, the son wants to report this matter to you alone." ”
In fact, he was planning to provoke the emperor, but the emperor was so faceless, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. However, the play still has to be done.
The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "Just say here, I want to see what is going on!" ”
The crown prince couldn't help but laugh mockingly in his heart, his father was really old, if it was before, he would definitely be able to detect the embarrassment in his expression, as well as the sound of his words.
Since he wants to say it himself, of course he has to say it well.
"Back to my father, my son found out that this matter is related to the second emperor's brother, Prince Gong!" The prince's words were tantamount to thunder on the ground, and the atmosphere in the hall was even more solidified.
The emperor was not immediately angry, and asked, "Is there any evidence?" ”
The prince said: "The grain and grass superintendent has heard it from the escort officer, but now several people have not returned, and they can't testify, so maybe it can be postponed." ”
When the emperor heard this, he said unhappily: "The matter of grain and grass is the top priority, where can it be postponed?" ”
After reprimanding the crown prince, the emperor continued to ask: "Second child, what do you say?" What is there to argue? ”
Of course, this has to be argued? If you don't argue, that's a guilty plea.
Prince Gong hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Father, the son is wronged!" ”
"Fang Cai's sons also wanted to talk to their fathers about this, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had reported to his father, his sons decided to talk about it later. Now where would you have thought that it was actually about Erchen, Erchen is really wronged! As he spoke, he kowtowed again.
When the emperor heard this, he said with great dignity: "Oh? So what did you listen to? ”
Prince Gong paused, and seemed a little afraid to speak.
The emperor's eyes changed suddenly, as sharp as an eagle falcon, and he was obviously angry: "How did I teach you on weekdays? You, Prince Gong, speak like this, what kind of system do you become? How can you set an example with your younger siblings? ”
The emperor also realized that he had just lost the face of the prince, and now that Prince Gong was about to say something was not simple, he naturally couldn't speak so well, and he had to pick up the prince's heart more or less.
Prince Gong put on a sincere and teachable appearance: "It's the son's minister, isn't it." It's just that the news received by Erchen is different from that of His Royal Highness the Prince. The escort officer sent a letter to Erchen, saying that he had discovered the conspiracy of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so he tied him up. It's just that...... The behind-the-scenes instructions he said were unbelievable. ”
For a moment, there was silence in the hall.
There are bandits who come to farm
