Chapter 56: Summer of Restlessness
"Hehe, it depends on who is standing behind him!" Wei Ying said with a smile, "Prince Duan has already summoned Zhao Che, and Prince Zheng has also secretly greeted him, even if these two don't say hello, he will be guilty at most, will he still want his life?" β
Prince Duan attaches great importance to Su Wen, he secretly figured out to himself, with Prince Duan's ability, to produce an official student from the Criminal Department, it is as easy as turning a palm, it is precisely because of the importance that he will use this to sharpen his temperament and gather his edge.

"Dad, didn't you say that those people in the Criminal Department are the most evil-hearted?" Ji Yue Road.
"Well, that's what I said," Wei Ying stretched her arms comfortably and looked at Ji Yue, "However, Su Wen is a person that the emperor values very much, and at this time, my father also thinks that it is actually the safest to put it inside, and if it is placed outside, it is easy to become a target." Hehe, with his temperament, this is an eventful summer, and if he causes any trouble, who can keep him? β
Seeing that Ji Yue was still worried, he smiled and said, "Prince Zheng and Prince Duan are both masters who take one step and see ten steps, Daddy is here to guarantee the ticket, I said it's okay, it's definitely okay." β
"Master, Mr. Wang is here." The butler hurried in and whispered.
"Hehe, say Cao Cao, Guo Jia has arrived, please, just go to my study." Wei Ying didn't dare to slack off and stood up.
Looking at his daughter's back, Wei Ying walked forward, his daughter was the pearl of his palm, but he didn't want her to add more thoughts.
On the night of the incident, Prince Duan Hongyi entered the palace overnight, and Emperor Xuanguang was furious, and ordered Prince Zheng Yintang, Prince Kang Jieshu, Shoufu Zhang Fengzao, Zhou Zupei, Minister of Shangshu, and Zhao Che, Han Shangshu of the Criminal Department, to meet overnight, and the five of them were integrated to thoroughly investigate the case.
This is a restless summer, a sensitive and suspicious summer, starting with the killing of Cheng Wenyun, with Xinxue as the focus, all factions in the court are ready to move, this whirlpool of power is bottomless, once it falls, it will never recover.
He, the leader of today's literary world and the leader of the Hanlin faction, is quite close to Prince Zheng Yintang on weekdays, and he silently calculates his steps and considers his words and deeds on weekdays, but he can't help but a voice suddenly sounds.
"Lord Wei, this is really a good place to shade and shade, there is a wind blowing, cool, cool!"
As soon as Wei Ying looked up, Wang Huizu was under the leadership of the housekeeper, shaking a bamboo fan and walking over.
I saw him dressed in a silver-white coarse cloth robe, and I didn't know that I thought it was a private school gentleman, but I didn't know that this person was the master behind the scenes valued by Wang Yintang, the chief councillor who had power in the world.
"The wind is born on the ground, and it starts at the end of the apple," Wei Ying said, both of whom were talking about Song Yu's "Wind Fu," ...... Cool and majestic wind, fluttering and lifting, riding the high city, entering the deep palace, hehe, this so-called king's majestic wind also, tea! Get some ice. β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked up to the gazebo.
Wang Huizu repeatedly owed to sit down, still shaking his fan, "My lord, according to the students, this wind does not enter the deep palace, but starts in the deep palace," he raised his hand and let the maid show his gratitude, "Go back to the cave and rush to the tomb, depression Zhongfang, and now the wind is still wandering around in this Beijing city!" β
Well, this person is not badly informed! Wei Ying smiled, "The old master is here, what do you have to say?" β
"How dare you, how dare you, adults don't want to laugh at students," Wang Huizu stood up, "It's inconvenient for the prince to come over, let the students come over and listen to the opinions of adults." β
The evening breeze came slowly, and Wei Ying couldn't help but feel that there was still a burst of irritability on her body.
"On this extraordinary day, it is inconvenient for the lower officials to go to the prince's mansion. β¦β¦ Although Cheng Wenyun is the Shao Zhan of the fourth grade, he is the president of Xian'an Palace and the foreman of Maoqin Palace, Zhang Jing, who is the president of Xian'an Palace and the foreman of Maoqin Palace, can be described as a small and powerful person, and his death may cause an earthquake in the court. This is already well known, but in front of a master, Wei Ying didn't want to go deeper.
Wang Huizu listened quietly, he represented Yintang, and Wei Ying had to continue.
"Cheng Wenyun was transferred from Shuntian Mansion to Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan, who used to not understand Zhou Qu in Shuntian Mansion, could not be tactful, and offended a lot of people, but this was not the cause of his death.
His death lies in the fact that he stood on the front line of Prince Duan, promoted new learning, offended a lot of people, besides, Prince Duan came forward for many things, King Duan and Prince Li fought for power, in recent years, there was a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, but in fact it has reached the point of saber rattling, if something happens, he will bear the brunt! β
Wang Huizu looked at him and said with a smile, "Lord Su Zhi's eyes are like watching the fire, and seeing things into the inside, well, looking at the past dynasties, whenever the political situation is turbulent, or when the country is reformed, it is always a time when unforeseen events are frequent, and there will always be people who use murder as a means to achieve their personal intentions." Murder, in the final analysis, has the least cost and the greatest effect, but it can disrupt the situation and set off political waves. β
"Mr. Gaojian," Wei Ying raised her thumb and couldn't help but look at Wang Huizu with admiration,
"These words are the words of the countryman!"
Wang Huizu is busy and humble.
What Mr. Wang said was, "As a result, Wei Ying discarded the idea of only saying three points and threw out eight distractions, "The emperor also saw the crisis here, so he ordered the three ministers of the council and the two ministers of the study to deal with it together, and the emperor actually wanted one word in his heart." β
"Steady!" The two said together, after speaking, they looked at each other and laughed, but Wang Huizu looked around after laughing, Wei Ying smiled, "Mr. Wang, in my house, you can rest assured." β
Wang Huizu owes his body, "The problem when he was a master." β
Wei Ying said, "However, there is one thing I don't understand, please ask Mr. for advice," Seeing that Wang Huizu shook his head, Wei Ying said, "It's not convenient to go to the prince's mansion these days, why is there no prince Li among the four ministers of the king?" β
"Prince Li's second brother is Shuntianfu Yin Jierle, a few days ago in Donghuamen, just had a quarrel with Cheng Wenyun, saying that Cheng Wenyun instigated Prince Duan to engage in heresy and crookedness, not Confucianism and Taoism orthodoxy, then Cheng Wenyun was not harmonious when he was Shuntianfu, Ji Erle even claimed to kill Cheng Wenyun, Shuntianfu Yin's position, everyone wants to fight, but at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the six departments of Jiuqing are bigger than him The official is like a carp crossing the river, and the virtue is not worthy, there will be disasters, he shouted like this, who knew that it would bring trouble to his brother."
"It's a chase, and you can't call it a reason." Wei Ying said.
"But the emperor doesn't see it that way, and some people don't see it that way." Wang Huizu said with a smile.
Wei Ying was thinking about what he said, but he heard Wang Huizu continue, "At this time, be careful, any little wind and grass can cause a big change, although Prince Li does not participate in solving the case, and the government and the opposition have discussions, but Prince Li himself also proposed that he is ill, which can also calm down some of the discussions." β
"I know this," Wei Ying said, "The court needs to be stable, although the specifications of the written case are extremely high, but it can't be full of wind and rain, people's hearts are panicked, and the implication is too wide,...... Has there been any progress on the case? β
"If you want stability, I'm afraid you can't help the emperor, he wants stability, some people want chaos, and as far as the current situation is concerned, most of the military camps in the capital will be involved."
"Oh?" The Xiangfei bamboo fan in Wei Ying's hand slowed down, but immediately shook again.
"Before I came, the prince just got the news, let me tell the lord. The wounded soldier is called Cheng Shun, who belongs to the Shanpu Battalion, and after the treatment, the Criminal Department stepped up interrogation, and he finally recruited the people who participated in the assassination together, but the patrol battalion, the tiger gun battalion, and the Jianrui battalion were all there, and even the Xiaocai battalion was implicated. The Li Zhiwen who shouted when he was unconscious was originally the deputy chief of staff of the military battalion, and when he went west to Ulan Butong, these people who participated in the assassination were all his subordinates, and coincidentally, these people were all red flags, but Li Zhiwen had fled and had not been caught yet. β
"Zhenghongqi?" It's intriguing, "Didn't you say you caught an assassin again?" Wei Ying asked.
"The assassin fled to a lacquerware shop, threw down his bow and arrows, and killed himself, both for the soldiers of the battalion and for the Red Banner."
"So, have these people been caught?" Wei Ying was very concerned.
"I have already fled, then Li Zhiwen is the mastermind of these people, and he has already issued a sea fishing document."
"Then this case can't be closed." Wei Ying said, but with the fact that it is all positive and red flags, I don't know how big a monstrous wave it will set off, even if Prince Kang Jieshu has a thousand mouths, he can't escape it.
"The anti-Xinxue wave in the provinces, the study has been carried out in the provinces, and the order has been suppressed, and more than 300 people have been dismissed from Shandong Province alone, more than 60 people have been dismissed from the people, and more than 100 Confucian scholars have been arrested." Wang Huizu actually sighed, he was also a scholar, and he actually felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
"What does the prince mean?" Wei Ying asked.
"This case is complicated, and now the two princes are involved, and there is no telling how many people will fall in the future," Wang Huizu said with a smile, "Many of your protΓ©gΓ©s are imperial historians, they are not monolithic, they are the most loose, it's time to be ready to move him." He replaced ink with tea and wrote down a name.
Wei Ying looked at it, but was silent.
Since Prince Rui's family was slaughtered, the court has been calm for decades, but unexpectedly, there will be bloody rain again.
Sending Wang Huizu to the back door, Wang Huizu said politely, "My lord, stay here, by the way, the official school of Xian'an Palace will quickly select a suitable candidate to replace the seat left by Cheng Wenyun, the student named Su Wen, he is a white flag, and he is also the leader of the students, Zheng Wangye has taken care of it, hehe, in fact, no matter what the outcome of this case is in the future, just shoot Cheng Shun in the dark night, and he can't run away with this first skill." β
Wei Ying watched the sedan chair leave, turned around and walked back, this Wang Huizu's thoughts and stratagems will not say a word, every sentence has a purpose, but in the end, what did he do when he mentioned Su Wen?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Half a month has passed, but Li Zhiwen and his assassins have disappeared like salt into the sea.
"What does Harbour eat? There are so many people patrolling the fifth battalion, some of them are anti-theft masters, and they can't catch a few assassins? Prince Zheng's shade was so hot that he fanned his fan, but the buttons on his collar were neat and neat.
"There is no news from the Criminal Department," Zhang Fengzao raised his head from the case, he was about to speak, but his eyes were straight, and he hurriedly got off the kang.
Under the hot sun, a person walked in from outside, and everyone immediately stopped talking.
"Hasn't there been any progress in this case in the past few days?" The person who came was Emperor Xuanguang, he was smiling, the sky was hot, but he was quiet, followed by Habao, the commander of the Nine Gates.
"Back to the emperor," Yin Tang said, "the arrest is intensifying, the assassin who was captured that night is stepping up interrogation, and the patrol camp and the criminal department already have some clues." However, Chen thought that before the incident, these people had already discussed together, and there would be no rumors. β
