Chapter 137: The Emperor's Message
Hearing this, the coachman smiled coldly, "I really deserve to be the young valley master of the Medicine King Valley, and the angle of looking at things is really sharp." ”
"You don't have to praise me, it's a very simple thing, it's just that the flowers are getting charming, and you know how to hide yourself very well." Ling Yijun said lightly.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Guogong tied up the coachman to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion for the crime of poisoning his master, and Master Wu of Jingzhaoyin Mansion was also a vigorous and resolute person, and the evidence of Jiang's Guogong's Mansion was conclusive, and there were so many witnesses, the coachman's crime could not be escaped.
Since the coachman was imprisoned and then sentenced to exile, Jiang Bai and Jiang Yuerong were confined in the room by Jiang Guogong, and they couldn't even get out of the courtyard, Jiang Yuerong also wanted to forcibly break out under the pretense of being a princess, but those guards didn't pay attention to this so-called princess at all.
When she was not a princess, she didn't treat the people in the house as people at all, let alone when she was in trouble now, the people in the house were already tolerant of her if they didn't fall into the well.
It's only been a few days, and the rumors that the emperor's internal supervisor leaked the test questions have been known to women and children, naturally this is Chu Lixue's hands and feet, if you don't do this, then Jiang Guogong will always have to bear this stigma, and more importantly, if the military power in Jiang Guogong's hands can't be recovered, then the queen mother's side will have more power.
The news was spread by Chu Lixue to Li Ping, as long as it was something beneficial to the Jiang Guogong Mansion, Li Ping was very happy to do it, how to say, without the prince, there would be no Li Ping today.
In the cloud city, in the lobby of a teahouse, there are many people sitting here drinking tea and eating snacks, because recently a storyteller came to this teahouse, this storyteller is dignified, and many young women come to watch.
"Hey, have you heard? The test question leaked was the internal supervisor around the emperor, not Jiang Guogong at all. A man in a gray coarse cloth said softly.
"The inner prison by the emperor's side? Is your information reliable? Another man in a dark blue coarse cloth robe said.
"Reliable, this matter has spread all over the streets and alleys of Cloud City, and women and children know about it." The man in the gray coarse cloth said softly.
"Let's wait and ask Ping Ye, Ping Ye may know more details."
"Yes, hey, Master Ping is here."
"Master Ping, you are here, will we continue to talk today?" Those good deeds are for Li Pingdao.
The reason why Li Ping is called Pingye is because of the respect for the storyteller, not to mention that Li Ping is here to tell the story for free, and he has to post his own tea money. For these people, listening to and listening to books and drinking some coarse tea are also very comfortable for these people.
"Say, let's pick up the book today and continue to talk, but ah, let me drink a pot of tea to moisten my throat first." Li Ping said with a smile.
Li Ping picked up the teapot that Xiao Er held and took a sip, the folding fan in his hand was unfurled, and then continued to speak, "Last time we talked about it, the inner eunuch next to the emperor was watching from the side when the emperor was personally drawing up the subject exam questions, hey, someone is going to ask, is this eunuch literate?" ”
"Yes, are eunuchs literate?" The people who listened to the book were very cooperative.
"Literacy, otherwise how can you serve the emperor's pen and ink? Don't look at the eunuchs and palace maids, this is also divided into three, six, nine and so on in the palace, and those who are literate can please the master. Li Ping said with a smile.
Hearing this, the people nodded very cooperatively, and more and more people gathered, who is not interested in those things in the palace, whether it is true or not, it is just some interesting talk after dinner.
"Master Ping, then how did the internal eunuch around the emperor get out of the palace when he saw the topic of this scientific examination?" One of the people wondered.
"Think about it, that's the chief manager of the emperor's side, if he wants to send this topic to the palace to make a profit, what can be difficult? Just let a few little eunuchs do it. ”
"Well, yes, a few days before the scientific examination, someone sold the scientific examination questions in Tianxiang Building, ten taels of silver, so expensive." One of the people said lightly.
"Yes, yes, I know about it, but we don't have so much money to buy it. But I've heard that some readers have bought the test questions for the scientific examination, and they have even won the top three. ”
"Hit the top three? But the emperor still wants to try it in the palace, so don't you want to debunk it? ”
"Brother, you don't know this, what problems can the emperor ask? As long as you shout long live and the country is forever, it must be right. A man dressed as a scholar said lightly.
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, isn't it, today's rivers and mountains are only listened to and good, those loyal words, where else can anyone say.
As for the story, it is good to fall into the ears of the people silently in this way, and even more so, the emperor used such despicable means in order to snatch Jiang Guogong's military power, otherwise he would not have understood this time after the incident without evidence, which can only show that the emperor has a ghost in his heart.
Of course, this is also Chu Lixue arranged for someone to spread the word, although King Jing has not fallen out with them directly, but it is still not appropriate for him to snatch the military power, this man sometimes faints, but he doesn't care about anything, especially when Chu Lixue received the news from Ye Wushuang and learned that the Queen Mother had fallen in love with King Jing before entering the palace.
Otherwise, why would this king assist her son to ascend the throne as emperor? This Nangong Anyi can have today's status, and it really depends on his mother's wrist.
The news couldn't help but leave, and naturally it soon flowed into the palace, the emperor was accompanying Concubine Rou to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden, and suddenly heard a little palace maid secretly discussing this matter, and learned that this matter was already known to women and children, and immediately fainted.
"Father-in-law Gao, are you guilty?" The emperor looked at the kneeling Gao Gonggong and said angrily.
"Oh, your majesty, the slave is really wronged, when you write the test questions, the pen and ink of the servants can't be said to be the test questions leaked by the slaves just based on this." Gao Gonggong knelt on the ground and shouted in that thin voice.
"Hmph, it has nothing to do with you? I believe it, but do the people outside the palace believe it? Do you know that this matter has spread so much that the courtiers have written to you, and they want me to punish you severely. The Emperor said angrily.
Concubine Rou on the side saw that the emperor's chest was rising and falling violently, and immediately sat on the side and gently stroked it with her hand, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, you will hurt your body when you are angry." ”
"Concubine Rou, you still feel sorry for me, but what should you do about this matter now? The people said that it was I who wanted to get rid of Jiang Guogong and let Gao Gonggong deliberately frame him. ”
"Your Majesty, aren't you too wronged? It's not your fault in the first place, but you have to deal with it according to the procedure, and those people don't understand anything, so they will talk nonsense, or else, you should pay attention to the patrol battalion, and if anyone dares to talk about it, you will take him to the prison and behead him, and see which of them dares to talk nonsense. Concubine Rou said indignantly.
"Well, Grandpa Gao, did you hear that? Why don't you do what Concubine Rou says? The Emperor glared at Gao Gong.
"Yes, yes, the minion obeys." Gao Gonggong climbed out of the Guan Ju Palace. When I came to the courtyard, I wiped the cold sweat on my forehead with my sleeve, it was really dangerous, someone actually said directly that he did it, hum, what if he did it? He is close to the emperor, and the emperor can't do without him, so he will protect himself in the end.
Immediately, Gonggong Gao took the two little eunuchs out of the palace and came to the patrol camp, "General Wei, where are you Tian Commander?" Our family is here to pass on the emperor's message, but he is not here, is this message passed on or not? ”
"Father-in-law, please don't be angry, please sit down and have a cup of tea first, I have already sent someone to find Commander Tian, today King Chen inspected the military camp and cleaned up military affairs, Commander Tian is afraid that he is still busy with King Chen."
"Hmph, don't use King Chen to suppress our family, our family is acting on the orders of the emperor." Gao Gonggong cocked his orchid finger and arched towards the upper right.
"Hehe, that's it, my father-in-law is hard, and I ask my father-in-law to be considerate of us soldiers who can't speak." General Wei said with a smile.
This General Wei is still persuading Gonggong Gao to wait a little, and he has already sent someone to tell Commander Tian to come with the emperor's edict, and it may not be a good thing to see that his face is not good, so that Commander Tian can make preparations in his heart first.
At this time, King Chen, Shangguan Tianyu and Commander Tian were inspecting a new batch of military equipment, but this batch of military equipment was just some defective products, which looked nothing, but when it was folded hard, the spear was broken into two, and the shield was as thin as paper.
"Commander Tian, this king has said many times, military supplies are very cautious, such spears and shields, how do you want these brothers to use them? With such weapons, do you want them to die? King Chen said angrily.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates don't know, these military supplies were just sent by the Ministry of War yesterday, and it was still raining yesterday, and my subordinates were worried that the weapons would rust when it rained, so they signed for this batch of military supplies without inspection, everything is the fault of their subordinates, and I ask the prince to punish them." After that, Commander Tian knelt on one knee and looked like he was pleading.
"Hurry up, return this batch of military supplies to the military department now, let them change to a good batch, and this batch of weapons must also be destroyed, although the current war is not big, but Nanchu has been ready to move, if it is not good to practice in peacetime, when it is time to go to the battlefield, what can I do?"
When he saw your military equipment, King Chen was so angry that he wanted to curse, how could he enter the armory with such a broken weapon, such a weapon, needless to say, went to battle to kill the enemy, even if it was used to pierce the scarecrow, I am afraid it will be broken. How could this make him not worried.
"Yihan, don't be so angry, the current military department is still living in Huaiyuan, and his daughter is married to Bai Shaofei in the third room of the Bai family, how much the Bai family is involved in this matter, it's really hard to say."
"Lord Wang, could it be that it's the Bai family's ...... again" Commander Tian shouted half a sentence and was stopped by King Chen's fierce eyes. This matter involved the Bai family again, the Bai family was already infamous, and now they still want to make profits in these things, it seems that the Bai family and the emperor are not of the same mind, they just want to rely on the identity of the royal relatives to do evil.
