One hundred and nine The Fuzhou incident shocked Taiping
"Fengtian carrier, now it is found out that Ye Siyuan, the town government of Changzhou, fornicated with Fuzhou to buy and sell official positions, collected property, filled his private pockets, and was suspected of killing the Fuzhou town government, patrol envoys and other cases. The case is serious, and the bodies of the five horses are divided. Those involved in this case will be exiled to the border and will be enslaved forever for three generations. “
When the news of the Fuzhou case reached Anyang City, in less than half a day, the officials in Anyang City were shocked. Such a big case has lasted for two dynasties. In addition, Long Xiang made a quick decision, and the war was in chaos, and he exiled Ye Siyuan's relevant personnel to the border without any worries, regardless of whether it had anything to do with the priest Fu or not, this didn't want to slap Wang Cen in the face. The problem is that the evidence collected by Wang Yi is not only the correspondence between the letters, but also the account book, in which the details of the killing of the town government are clearly written. It's just that Liu Yingsheng, who was unlucky to come up with great difficulty, was pulled down again so quickly.
Wang Yi wrote the book, and Wang Cen immediately approved the document without any delay and arrested Liu Yingsheng, who was the secretary of the office. Wang Cen, who had just returned to the priest's mansion, listened to the faint crying and grabbing the ground in the distance, and gradually walked away, Wang Cen unconsciously collapsed in the chair, and several close officials surnamed Wang next to him slowly gathered up, and everyone's faces seemed to want to say something, but they didn't say anything, waiting for Wang Cen to speak.
Wang Cen raised his head weakly, looked at the thin and fat officials around him, and only felt that his heart was weak for a while, and finally waved his hand and said, "If there is something to talk about another day, let the old man be clean." “
"Elder Wang, otherwise, go back and rest first. An official beside him who looked at him said timidly.
"Lord Wang. Lord Wang. At this time, the butler of the palace ran into the door. The housekeeper came in person, there must be something important, and several officials around looked at this situation, and naturally walked towards the door consciously, and then the housekeeper took a step forward. said into Wang Cen's ear: "Lord Wang, Concubine Jue is here." “
"Where?"
"The palace is waiting. “
Wang Cen sighed, but this Wang Jue couldn't be seen, so he could only straighten up and walk towards the door with the support of the housekeeper.
"Go to the palace. “
"The carriage has been prepared outside. “
"Do you know what?"
"I don't know, just looking at Concubine Jue's face, it's not too good. “
"Alas, none of them are worry-free. “
Temple of Heaven.
Returning to the Dry Heaven Hall again, Long Xiang only felt stunned. He looked at the incomparably familiar tents, the incomparably familiar screens, and the red candles left over from the previous wedding. Everything is just like yesterday, but who knows that there have been a few times when they will never come back, and then everything will really be over.
"Your Majesty. Father-in-law Wang Xi walked into the room and interrupted Long Xiang's memories. Wang Xi was followed by the imperial doctor who had treated the emperor before, and after the imperial doctor saluted, he took the pulse of Long Xiang. He shook his head, nodded again, and continued: "The emperor's body is no longer in trouble, maybe he was forced to go out because he was unwell, and his body seems to have a little more internal injuries, but it's not a big deal." After that, the minister prescribed some medicine and recuperated. The emperor can go to court normally. “
"Your Excellency, please. The imperial physician packed up his things and walked out of the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
After Wang Xi's father-in-law watched the imperial doctor leave, he nodded to the palace maids behind him, and the palace maids walked in and placed the hot water that was just bubbling with thin heat and a face towel made of brocade in front of Long Xiang. Long Xiang got up and put his hand into the warm basin.
Wang Xi waved his hand, and the surrounding palace maids walked out of the palace one after another, and Wang Xi spoke: "Your Majesty, now that the matter in Fuzhou has been dealt with, in less than two days, Wang Yi will presumably hand over all the evidence to the priest of Anyang City." “
"Well, let the widow think about how to reward him. Long Xiang said lightly.
Wang Xi continued: "Recently, there has been news from the Temple of Worship Heaven, saying that the body of the witch envoy is not very good, and the inferior palace maid who asked for it has recently timidly gone to the imperial doctor to ask for some prescriptions. “
The movements on Long Xiang's hand obviously stopped, and after a long while, he slowly raised his head and said, "You said, the witch envoy of the Heavenly Temple is not in good health?"
Wang Xi also heard the abnormality in Long Xiang's voice, but he still lowered his head and said dutifully: "Yes, since the emperor was sick, the witch envoy has lived in seclusion in the temple of worship, and he does not come out or let people in. Recently, I have been in poor health, and I also listened to the subordinate next to the imperial doctor. Emperor, do you want to go and see?"
Long Xiang slowly withdrew his hand, with drops of warm water dripping on his hand, Wang Xi hurriedly handed over the hand towel, Long Xiang pondered for a long time before saying, "Let's go, the widow will go and see." “
Wang Xi took a step back, saluted, strode to the door of the Qiantian Palace, and said loudly outside: "The emperor is driving." “
The clear voice echoed at the door of the Qiantian Temple, and after a long time, it disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Wang Cen's carriage also happened to arrive at the gate of the palace.
When I walked into the study, I saw Wang Jue pacing back and forth, saw Wang Cen, hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Uncle." “
Wang Cen squinted his eyes, motioned for the surrounding entourage butlers to leave, covered the door, and then spoke: "When will you change your reckless character?" “
"Uncle, aren't I in a hurry? By the way, uncle, I heard that the emperor went to Fuzhou to handle Ye Siyuan's case?" Wang Jue said, although Wang Jue didn't like Ye Siyuan's person, but all of a sudden, the emperor eliminated Ye Siyuan, and this news was indeed enough for Wang Jue to be shocked.
"yes, who would have thought that it would be so sudden. Wang Cen sat on the chair and said with a sigh. This tone made Wang Cen look very weak, as if he was more than ten years old.
"But the emperor, isn't he still sick in bed?" Wang Jue asked suspiciously: "I also found out when I went out of the holy decree." “
Wang Cen didn't speak, he thought quietly for a long time before he said, "Perhaps, the emperor is not as simple as we think. “
After Wang Jue heard this, he was also silent for a while, and said, "Then, my queen's position." “
"Are you still thinking about the queen's position now?" Wang Cen looked at Wang Jue beside him with disdain, and said: "Now we should be more low-key, if I guess correctly, the purpose of the emperor's action is to deter me." “
"Then, uncle, what should we do?" Wang Jue seemed to know the importance of this matter, and said, "Is it just like that, do nothing?"
"Yes, we have to be restrained, we don't take the initiative in anything, but we can't do nothing. Wang Cen touched his beard and said.
"In a few days, Wang Yi will come to Anyang City to resume his life, and I have already written to ask your sister to come over. “
"Wang Yu, what are you letting her do?" Wang Jue couldn't help frowning at the mention of this sister, and said unhappily.
"Naturally, I am married to Wang Yi. When you see Wang Yi in the future, put away your pride and be kind to Wang Yi. After cracking the Fuzhou case, Wang Yike was on the rise and was reused by the emperor. Wang Yi is single again, and there may be how many ministers want to hold Wang Yi at that time, so I naturally can't be slow. You know what?"
"Yes, uncle. Wang Jue tried hard to put away the displeasure on his face and said.
"Okay, you hurry back to the palace and go to see the emperor, this is what you have to do. Wang Cen said.
"Yes, uncle. “
yes, that's just the beginning. Wang Cen thought like this, he still had a long way to go, and he couldn't let go of Wang Yi, a chess piece.
Wang Cen didn't expect that another incident that happened in the palace would turn the whole situation upside down!
