Chapter 51: Yuan Xi

On the day of the New Year's Eve, Tongqu Street, both sides of the road are covered with high lanterns, although they have not yet been lit, but they also attract many people to compete for appreciation. The bustling crowds, the hawkers who bought and sold, the steaming of all kinds of beautiful things, and the satisfied smiles on people's faces, made Yushu quite emotional.

Zhao Xu is not a good brother, a good uncle, a good husband, a good son, a good brother, or a good father, but he is a diligent and good emperor.

But he is far worse than his father. Yushu pulled the corners of her mouth disdainfully, and lowered the curtain with a muffled snort. At the first glance, she instructed Ciye to deliver a letter to Zhao Yao, saying that she was infected with a small illness and could not enter the palace for a banquet. Send a small congratulatory gift, hoping to make His Majesty the Emperor happy.

The words were very polite, but she knew better than anyone that this congratulatory gift to Zhao Yao was ultimately achieved by Donggu Xie Yushu.

And at this time, she was about to go to Bailiji Mansion. The two Bai Li Ke brothers and Ning Lian were waiting for her to discuss the subtleties of Jiang Kai's case.

As Yushu expected, Zhao Xu approved the excerpts of Baili Ke and Ning Lian, and handed over the case to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department for strict handling. Moreover, the Zhongshu Province has been ordered to draft a decree and crown Prince Xin as the king of Xiang. Although the will has not been prepared, Ning Lian, who is a waiter, already knows the general idea.

Out of the first lunar month, this will be sent to the Autumn Water Palace. Next, Zhao Xu will discuss the canonization of the crown prince with the ministers. To say that it is to discuss, that is, to make a show. Zhao Xu only has two princes, and he canonized the prince Xin as the king of Xiang, and the eldest prince Zhao Yao is the best candidate for the crown prince. In this way, An Yi is the princess of Xiang.

Calculate the time, the letter sent to Donggu, King Qin should have received it, why hasn't he replied yet?

Gao Kuo has lived in Xie Mansion for half a month, some of them have to eat and play, and they are in a good mood, not only not thin but fatter. Even the flower doctor girl was hit. However, Yushu's body is like a day by day, and the flower doctor girl is very pleased, and she does not dare to slack off when dispensing and boiling medicine.

When I arrived at Baili Mansion, it was already noon. Okay, let's get together here and have lunch. When you come to eat, you can't be empty-handed, Yushu brought two jars of Jiannan Roasted Spring and Zhang's fish bream.

The servant took her to the flower hall, and before she entered the door, she listened to Ning Lian singing "Snow Plum" inside. This song "Xuemei" has been sung to the point where it is well-known and well-known, so that people remember Huacun and Xie Yushu.

Yu Shu stepped inside and said with a smile: "The layman is so Yaxing! ”

Ning Lian was busy and laughed, "Thanks to Lang Jun's good words and Mr. Hua's good songs!" Before the words fell, everyone laughed.

Zhao Xu's successive movements were all within their expectations, so he was in a relaxed and cheerful mood.

Bai Lichen beckoned Yushu to sit down, and the little servant served hot purple bamboo shoot tea.

Purple bamboo shoots are slightly inferior to Mengding, but they are also excellent tea. Yushu held it in her palm, took a sip, and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty's decision to deal with Jiang Kai's remnants this time, the layman understands?" ”

Ning Lian's expression was solemn, "Understood!" His Majesty wants Liu Weifeng to be alone. ”

Bai Li Chen groaned slightly, "So, it's not Jiang Kai's remnants who are being investigated, but Liu Weifeng's comrades?" ”

Ning Lian and Bai Li Ke glanced at each other, bowed slightly, and said, "So to speak." ”

"Huh? Peicheng, how is Jiang Kai's staff Du Qianping doing? Bai Li Ke looked at Bai Li Chen and asked in a deep voice.

"He blamed everything on Jiang Kai, and he insisted that Jiang Kai was the mastermind, and he was an accomplice." Bai Lichen shook his head again and again when he mentioned this stubble, "Jiang Kai is dead, and Du Qianping knows that the death penalty is inevitable, so he doesn't need to hide it." But he said that there was no mastermind, and it was all controlled by Jiang Kai. Isn't that! ”

The water vapor is thick, and the face is moist and warm, and Yushu takes a shallow sip of tea

, listen quietly and silently.

I'm afraid that three-year-old children know that Jiang Kai is behind Liu Weifeng, but Du Qianping pushed everything on the dead ghost Jiang Kai. automatically and consciously picked Liu Weifeng cleanly, I have to say that he is really loyal to Liu Weifeng.

However, Yushu wanted to know most about how the jade pendant of the Rui Bird Flower had arrived in Jiang Kai's cellar.

Baili Ke glanced at Yushu, and saw that she was staring at the floating leaves in the teacup, and her eyes didn't blink, so she knew that she was distracted again, smiled evilly, raised her voice, and asked, "Xie Langjun, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Yushu suddenly came back to her senses, and when she saw that the three of them were looking at her in unison, she smiled, "Du Qianping is not the key ...... in this case" Halfway through her words, she didn't care how anxious the three of them were waiting for her to say the second half of the sentence, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

The three of them glanced at each other, and Ning Lian asked her: "But except for Du Qianping, the rest of the Jiang Mansion is all shrimp and fish boys, how can he not be the key?" ”

"The layman only knows how to look at the earth, but he doesn't know how to look at the sky!" Yushu's words meant something, Ning Lian couldn't understand it for a while, and asked, "What's the explanation?" ”

"Heaven, that's what the Son of Heaven means." Yushu winked at him slyly, "Layman, with all due respect. Have you ever delved into Jiang Kai's death? ”

Mentioning this matter, Ning Lian and Bai Li Chen looked at Bai Li Ke, he knew this matter best.

Baili pondered for a moment and explained Xie Yushu's confusion: "On the day General Wei Xiao returned to Kyoto, he personally explained the cause and effect to His Majesty. Yang Xiangye and I were also present. General Wei Xiao escorted Jiang Kai and other suspects back to Kyoto, and when they arrived in Maozhou, they were ambushed. Jiang Kai died as a result. ”

"Who did it?"

Bai Li Ke shook his head, "I don't know." General Wei Xiao said about one hundred and eighty archers. General Wei Xiao was not familiar with the terrain of Maozhou, so he did not pursue. I'm afraid of falling into the trap of the other party. ”

Xie Yushu asked about this, could it be that he suspected General Wei Xiao of conspiring with others to kill Jiang Kai? Baili Ke hurriedly added: "Your Majesty did not blame General Wei Xiao, but praised him for being in danger and being a general." When this case is over, His Majesty will reward him for his merits and deeds, and he will definitely not treat General Bo Wei. ”

Yushu put down the teacup and lowered her eyes silently.

Wei Jin's decision at the time was not wrong. Although he had 5,000 soldiers and horses, it would be in vain for him to catch up with those archers. This wave of people must be carefully selected dead soldiers, even if they catch one or two, they will immediately take poison and commit suicide, and Jiang Kai will never be allowed to get the slightest useful clue.

Perhaps, Wei Yan thought of this layer, so he didn't chase after it.

However, Zhao Xu's reaction was quite intriguing. Jiang Kai is dead, the most powerful person is gone, Zhao Xu does not blame Wei Yao, but wants to be added to the rank of knight, when did his mind become so broad-minded?

Yushu tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Then, there will be another fold in the service of Lao Funing." ”

was named by Yushu, Ning Lian's beard under his chin trembled, and he asked puzzledly, "Still on the fold?" Your Majesty is going to crown Prince Xin as King Xiang, and the eldest prince will definitely be canonized as the crown prince, so there's no need for it, right? "The goal has been achieved, so why bother?

Yushu shook her head, "No, you must go up again." Ning Shi must have a fold in the army that someone in the army is greedy for ink and asks His Majesty to investigate thoroughly. ”

"In the army?" Ning Lian pondered for a moment, "Xie Langjun means ......"

"Most of Liu Weifeng's faction is entrenched in the army, and there are many people who have quietly become bigger. The reason why His Majesty has not moved Liu Weifeng for a long time is not precisely because of this? Liu Weifeng is greedy for ink, and it is impossible to be clean in the army. Therefore, it is urgent to thoroughly investigate the army! ”

Bai Li Ke, Bai Li Chen, and Ning Lian glanced at each other and were silent.
