Chapter 76: The Spirit of Scattered Jade On

Concubine Xian ignored her, and only stared at Ji Gang, "Master Ji, don't say these twisted words, I don't know much about the culture of the Central Plains, it's just rough, you only pick up what I can understand, first put you aside to Lu Jieyu Nuan Pavilion to be rude and rude, just talk about what is going on with Yurong Cream?" What mistake did Xiao Qingyang make to punish her like this? ”

Ji Gang secretly said bitterly in his heart, the aristocratic women of North Korea have always been proficient in the writing and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and this virtuous concubine is the best among them, not only can she speak and write, but ordinary allusions come at a glance, even if she composes poems on the spot, but now she is coarse and ignorant as the reason, she wants to explain it herself, but the grievances between herself and Sun Yu and his wife, that can be told to outsiders, is it possible to tell Concubine Xian, I want what Sun Qingyang's father has, so I want to track and frame him?

Ji Gang doesn't even pay attention to the princes and ministers on weekdays, but Concubine Xian is favored by Emperor Yongle, for a person like him who is accustomed to preoccupation, he doesn't dare to offend the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, so he has to answer stubbornly: "Weichen also heard that Sun Qingyang's father dedicated a thing called Yurong paste to Concubine Xian Niangniang, this jade paste is configured with Dongzhu, a box costs thousands of two hundred silver, Niangniang has to use up ten boxes a year, these tens of thousands of two things, if you don't take bribes, how can you do it with his Sun Yu's five stones and five buckets. So about his greed for ink, ask his daughter to help investigate. ”

"Investigation? Since this jade paste was given to me, why didn't you ask me to help with the investigation? Would you like to ask a little girl? ”

Hearing Concubine Xian's cold question, Ji Gang scolded hatefully, this Concubine Xian usually said that she was not in a good business, and even the trivial matters in the palace affairs had to be pushed to the two concubines, and she couldn't handle it herself, but looking at what she asked today, she asked the key points one by one, and the person who passed the message was really blind.

The crown princess looked at Concubine Xian in surprise, she really didn't expect Concubine Xian to be so keen and good at investigating inside, even if she asked herself, she wouldn't ask better!

"Weichen was worried that if there was no wind and waves, it would disturb Niangniang, so he asked Sun Qingyang first." As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Gang immediately bowed and said respectfully: "What Weichen said, every sentence is true, loyalty can be expressed by the sun and the moon, if the virtuous concubine still has doubts, you can send someone to check." ”

"Oh. So, what about the results of your question? Concubine Xian looked at Ji Gang with a smile, but her eyes were not smiling, and she was cold, "It seems that it should be confirmed, otherwise how could Xiao Qingyang be kneeling all the time, before I came in, I seemed to hear someone say that they were fighting and killing." ”

Ji Gang closed his eyes and resolutely raised his head, "She said that she didn't know anything, and she complained about Weichen's private court." But Concubine Xian Niangniang, Sun Yu and his wife are not idle people, and of course they can't ignore their daughters, so Weichen is ready to take her back to the edict prison and make a decision after the trial. ”

Imperial Prison, the place where the Jinyi guards hold prisoners, is guarded by heavy soldiers, idlers are not allowed to enter, and the nuisance and troublemaking are considered complicity, and the robbers are not pardoned. Except for the officials of the presiding body in this case, all others must obtain the permission of the emperor or the presiding official to enter the house, otherwise they will be punished as robbery.

Concubine Xian and the crown princess were shocked when they heard this, and secretly congratulated that the two of them had come in time, this was going to be brought to the edict, and Sun Qingyang would be like a waste even if he had a life.

Concubine Xian laughed angrily, "Okay, what a Master Ji, the emperor has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, there are so many felons to be committed that you don't care, but focus on a little girl, the emperor should really take a good look at what his ministers are busy with." Now this palace is here to tell you clearly, this palace has never seen Yurong ointment, does that mean that Sun Yu is greedy for ink is nothing, you can let Xiao Qingyang go, right? ”

The crown princess was surprised to hear this, Ji Gang seemed to be reckless on the outside, but in fact, he had always acted cautiously, if it was just such a simple reason as Yurong Ointment, how could he have to take Sun Qingyang away and take him back to the Imperial Prison?

Although there are a lot of doubts in her heart, the crown princess can't interject, although the prince has the position of the prince, but the emperor has never liked him to collude with foreign ministers, or to stand up in front of his subordinates, if he is in trouble with Ji Gang, I am afraid that it will arouse the emperor's suspicions, so I have to say nothing, sit aside, and wait for Concubine Xian and Ji Gang to speak.

Lu Jieyu muttered on the side, "You said no, no, no?" Then I said that there is, and you can't bully others. ”

When Concubine Xian heard this, she raised her eyebrows, "Okay, according to what Sister Lu said, I have received the jade paste from Sun Yujin, who said it, and what evidence is there?" Master Ji is in charge of the Jinyi Guard, and the emperor often praises you for being clear, presumably the people who are arrested and sentenced are all guilty and deserved, and there are no people who are wronged, right? ”

Living up to what the crown princess thought, Concubine Xian really asked.

Ji Gang kowtowed there and gasped: In the current situation, if you don't say something, I'm afraid that you won't be good, as for Sun Qingyang, if you don't take it away today, I'm afraid that it will be more difficult in the future, so I have to try hard.

He mixed the truth and falsehood of the situation together and said, "Because Sun Qingyang's father, Sun Yu, was originally a protégé of the criminal minister Xie Jin, Xie Jin's private visit to the East Palace, at the beginning of the year, the emperor was sentenced to prison for the crime of 'no courtesy', and Weichen found out that Sun Yu also had something to do with this matter, so he had to start with his daughter first, so that he would not dare to act rashly." ”

Hearing Ji Gang say such an amazing thing, Concubine Xian and the crown princess were shocked, and they felt more and more that things were not simple.

The crown princess opened her mouth and said lightly: "Lord Ji works hard for the country, we should also share some worries, Lord Ji rest assured, if I take her back today, the palace will prohibit her from going out, thinking that she is an eight-year-old girl, and she can't fly out of the East Palace even if she has wings, so as not to lock up a little girl in Lord Ji's edict and make people laugh." When Lord Ji finds out, he should be beaten and killed, and this palace will never stop him. ”

Seeing that Ji Gang didn't spit out, Concubine Xian's eyes moved slightly, and the edge like a sharp sword out of the sheath swept over Ji Gang, and her voice was cold and piercing: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, since someone can frame me with the matter of Yurong Ointment, and make something out of nothing, what Lord Ji said about Sun Yu and that Xie Jin, it may not be the truth, I think that Xie Jinmen is born all over the world, if he arrests someone because of this, I am afraid that Lord Ji's edict will not be able to fit it." For some things that catch the wind and shadows, detain people at will, Master Ji, have there been such examples before? Or should I ask the emperor for advice, what rights does this assistant harem have, can Master Ji take the people in this harem away at will without a ward, and where will the emperor be? ”

Ji Gang was helpless, owed a courtesy, and replied carefully: "Weichen is also a lover and not self-interest, it is really Sun Yu's wife, Sun Qingyang's mother is a disciple of the Tang Sect, Niangniang has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and she should have heard of the prestige of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, if she is not detained, in case the Weichen investigation is indeed true, and there is no handle of Sun Yu and his wife, there is a ...... of mishap."

After a pause, he felt that what he said made everyone's breath sluggish, knowing that this news was like a hammer blow, and said slowly: "The minister eats the king's lu, bears the king's worries, the emperor trusts the minister, and the minister is grateful for it, and who dares to offend the emperor and the mother?" It's really too much to do in this matter, and the minister knows that he can't do it, so he really has to do it, and he doesn't dare to do it carelessly. If Sun Yuzhen and Xie Jin are colluded, I am afraid that even if it is all the mothers, I am afraid that they will not be able to afford it. Don't hurt yourself because of your kindness. ”

The words were neither humble nor arrogant, but also faintly threatening, showing the determination to take Sun Qingyang away.

Concubine Xian looked at Ji Gang fixedly, and saw that he seemed respectful, but there was a look of contempt in his expression, thinking that he had a heart to win.

Originally, I heard that it was also related to the people in the rivers and lakes, and the virtuous concubine had already retreated, and she didn't want to wade into this troubled water again, it was one thing to have a good relationship with the crown princess, and she was involved in the East Palace, even if she was deeply favored by Jinshang, I am afraid that she would not be good, after all, the concubine was not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, and she was the most suspicious today, but when she saw Ji Gang's expression, she had always been the most peaceful.

Taking the tea handed by Biguang, Concubine Xian took a sip, calmed down her joy and anger, stared at Ji Gang and said slowly: "This palace wants to protect her today, even if her father really commits a crime in the future, this palace will also ask the emperor for guilt, and the emperor will punish her, and Lord Ji is not worried." You only answer, will you let this person go? ”

The crown princess also said: "Lord Ji, this palace also makes a guarantee, if Sun Qingyang commits an accident in the East Palace or is not there, this palace is also willing to go to his father to receive the punishment, and today I also ask Lord Ji to give us a few thin noodles, and hand people over to the palace to take back to the East Palace for discipline." ”

Ji Gang's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, "Niangniang, please don't embarrass your subordinates." ”

But he still refused to spit out and agree.

Concubine Xian saw him kicking his nose in the face, and directly slammed the teacup in his hand, "Master Ji, this person is from the harem, even if you want to take someone, it stands to reason that you have to get the consent of the palace, and now you go to this Shou'an Palace and Lu Jieyu with a little gossip, just say that I got Sun Yu's jade ointment, and now this incident comes out, I'm afraid I will say that I want to protect his daughter because I got his things, right?" The person who talks to Master Ji, even I dare to hook up, let alone others? Since Lord Ji is bent on going his own way, Yaoguang, you went to invite the emperor to come up, and asked the emperor to give an order to Lord Ji in person, I also want to see what the emperor will think when he sees Lord Ji running an errand and coming to the Xinuan Pavilion of Shou'an Palace! ”

Without waiting for Ji Gang to speak, Lu Jieyu was anxious first, when the emperor came, he saw Ji Gang in her palace, what if he was angry?

hurriedly persuaded the two sides to make peace, "Sister is angry, Lord Ji, he is also loyal to the emperor, you have said it well, why should you alarm the emperor with such a little thing?" "Wait for Master Ji to find out his eyebrows, just take her down, why bother to make everyone unhappy today?" It's just that we know that you are straightforward and won't turn around, and the emperor won't spare you for being so arrogant, so let's take a step back, and wait for things to come to the palace to beg for help. ”

Seeing that Ji Gang was silent, Lu Jieyu persuaded again: "Sister and Han'er have both done the guarantee, you are still afraid that she will fly off the wall and run away, even if she is in the palace, I will have to ask you for a personal favor today, please Lord Ji will reveal it today, and if you find the real evidence, you will come and get someone." ”

Ji Gang saw that the general trend was gone, so he had to respond, "Concubine Xian, don't be angry, she is so alive and well on your side now, Weichen didn't bring anyone in today, even if he wants to, he can't take people." ”

One sentence wiped his previous behavior clean.

Concubine Xian was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "This palace is tired, Han'er, let's go, you take Qingyang to my palace, and go to bad luck." ”

Concubine Xian and everyone left, and no one noticed the two behind them, one with a fierce look in his eyes, and the other full of jealousy.
