Chapter 207: When the Eve of Dawn Is Dark (7)
This incident made some officials who were all martial arts masters around them lose their souls, so today, it was rumored that the prince of that family went to the criminal department to ask for characters, and Ming asked the ministers of that family to beg the heads of the five guards to release them.
It can be regarded as making the capital very lively for a while, and the person in charge of the five guards handed over a bad deal for the emperor for a while, and he made a lot of money, which exacerbated the contradiction between the criminal department and the five guards.
I don't know if it was the officials of the two ministries who wanted to write the chapter, and all the officials who went through this incident and suffered greatly wanted to see His Majesty the Emperor.
Because of the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor before the palace banquet, it is now the time for the hundred officials to rest, except for the person in charge of the five guards in the palace who is still doing things seriously, everyone else is now standing outside the palace and wants to see His Majesty the Emperor's ministers.
It's just that His Majesty the Emperor is not in the palace now, if it weren't for the eunuchs who came out to tell these Dacheng, these ministers would still think that His Majesty the Emperor's five guards had rebelled.
"Father-in-law, when did His Majesty the Emperor leave Beijing?"
"Lord Wang, His Majesty the Emperor was afraid that you people would come to the palace to annoy him, so he went out of the city with the Empress Mother this morning, and now only the person in charge of the Five Guards knows where His Majesty the Emperor is."
"Father-in-law, the saint really didn't leave any other message?"
"No, it's just for the adults to go back and rest, and finally have a break, so don't worry about state affairs anymore."
"Father-in-law, just tell me where the saint went, now the capital is in chaos."
"Chaos? Then go find Lord Yin Cao of Jingzhao Mansion. ”
"Hmph, how can he have the ability to manage the five guards in the palace, father-in-law, you can make it convenient, let's go to the saint."
"I knew that you would say that, the saint specially confessed when he left, and now that he is not in the palace, he will go to King Sui'an, but the fourteenth prince and His Majesty talked for a long time yesterday."
"Fourteen princes?"
The eunuch smiled and said nothing, waiting for the criminal department secretary to understand the mystery himself.
After a while, he said to these ministers who had come to see His Majesty the Emperor: "Everyone, please go back, I have said everything that should be said, and the rest is what the miscellaneous family does not know." ”
These ministers had already seen that the eunuch had just been talking to the two people of the criminal department for a long time, and when the eunuch left, these people all gathered around and asked what the father-in-law had just said.
Lord Wang had no choice but to tell the truth, "It turned out to be the fourteenth prince?" ”
These ministers were a little stunned, although the fourteenth prince is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, but he has been living in a simple house since many years ago, and he does not care about the major affairs of the court and China, and he has not seen the appearance of the fourteenth prince even at the palace banquet yesterday.
"Do you think this father-in-law deliberately made it difficult for us? We don't know where this fourteenth prince is now, let alone recruit him and talk about this matter? ”
One of the ministers was a little suspicious, after all, it was really weird, and these people didn't know the whereabouts of the fourteenth prince, how could they recruit him, and then through his mouth, they would know where His Majesty the Emperor was.
None of these ministers would think that the fourteenth prince Yin Gaohan would grasp the situation as the eunuch said, after all, the fourteenth prince began to hate politics when he was a hairy boy.
So after they knew about this, they just wanted the Fourteenth Prince Yin Gaohan to tell them where His Majesty the Emperor was.
"If that's the case, there's almost only one place to know where the Fourteenth Prince's location is."
"Soshoji Temple!"
Zongzheng Siqing is an old man in his prime, this old man is the mentor of His Majesty the Emperor, maybe there is this kindness, so even if the old man can't hear others clearly, or even if he doesn't go to the court, His Majesty the Emperor didn't let him leave office.
So now the real person in charge of Zongzheng Temple is Zongzheng Shaoqing, this Shaoqing's surname is Xu, if it is a relationship, he is the same disciple of His Majesty the Emperor, and he studied under Zongzheng Temple.
"Lord Xu."
"Yo, Lord Wang, Lord Li., why do you two have time to come to my Qingshui Yamen?"
"If Lord Xu is there, let's just come over to see Mr. Zhang."
"Look at my master? It's the sun coming out in the west,"
This sentence made Lord Wang of the Criminal Department and Lord Li of the Ministry of Officials not know how to answer, but after so many years of mixing in the officialdom, this little bit of cheekiness is nothing, so he asked cheekily: "Isn't this by the way to ask about something." ”
"Oh, it's really going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let's say, I don't know what the two adults want to do?"
"We want to know where the Fourteenth Prince is."
Although I don't know why His Majesty the Emperor ordered the civil and military officials to rest, and this Lord Xu did not rest, but the two of them couldn't manage so much, and they were elected as representatives by other officials, and the two of them could only take over this drudgery.
This Lord Xu looked at the two of them and chuckled, "It turned out to be this matter. ”
"I hope Lord Xu will make it convenient, we also have important matters to discuss with Prince Sui'an."
"In the Fourteenth Prince's Sui'an Palace."
"Huh? Where is it? ”
"Sui'an Wangfu, is it not clear enough to say it below?"
"Sui'an Palace? Where is that? ”
"Then the two adults will have to find it by themselves, I still have something to do here, so I won't accompany the two adults, come on, send off!"
"Lord Xu, you can make it clear!"
No matter what the two people wanted to say, they had now been stopped by the two of them, and as for this Lord Xu, he had disappeared into the depths of the file.
"Two adults, please!"
Wang, and Li looked at these two people in black clothes, and snorted coldly, these two are people from Wuwei, and the two of them don't want to meet these two people.
It's just that where is the Sui'an Palace, the two of them really don't know, and now there is a new palace? When did King Sui'an go? The two of them can only draw a question mark in their hearts.
These ministers are now in King Ning's other garden, and they look like they are the only ones who look at him. This is not surprising, because this prince has the most people arrested in his hands.
Most of the people gathered here are foreign officials and princes who have entered Beijing, and there are Beijing officials, but there are very few, and only a few of them are hiding behind.
As for Lord Wang and Lord Li, part of it was because of the overstepping of the law enforcement of the five guards, and the other part was because these officials came to make trouble.
Seeing these two people return, these people all looked at them with expectant eyes.
"Lord Wang, what did Master Li say?"
It was King Ning who spoke, and he also looked at these two people with some expectation.
"I asked, but I didn't seem to ask anything."
Everyone was a little confused by his words, and King Ning also said suspiciously: "I don't know, what does this mean?" ”
Lord Wang and Lord Li glanced at each other and said, "That Lord Xu told us that the fourteenth prince is in the Sui'an Palace. ”
A person in the crowd suddenly said, "It turns out that the prince is in the palace." ”
This person is a Beijing official, and he usually belongs to the kind of obscure official, and now he speaks so that everyone present doesn't know what to call this person for a while.
Even the official secretary didn't know what to call this lord, and Lord Wang could only say: "This lord, do you know where the prince of Sui'an is?" ”
The adult who spoke scratched his head a little embarrassed and said; "I do know where the Sui'an Palace, but I really don't know where the Fourteenth Prince is."
"It's good to know, as long as you know where Sui'an Wangfu is, everything is easy to say."
The group was about to let him lead the way to see the fourteenth prince, but the king was stopped halfway, after all, the prince of Sui'an is a prince who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he likes to be quiet.
If this large group of people went to his palace, I am afraid that they would not be driven out directly.
So I could only find a few more people to go, but this time Lord Wang and Lord Li did not come forward, after all, the two of them did not suffer anything, it was not good to go, and it was not a saint, so they could give two people a chance to cry.
So King Ning led the team, and two officials from other places, and this adult who knew the place of Sui'an Wangfu, went to Sui'an Wangfu together.
This Sui'an Wangfu is also in Dongcheng, but I don't know why it doesn't show its water, just looking at the ordinary mansion door, some of the two people were surprised.
This specification is not to mention a royal mansion, and even ordinary rich gentry in the capital can't compare.
If it weren't for the huge four golden words "Sui'an Wangfu" on the plaque at the door of the mansion, King Ning would have said that this guy was lying to himself.
There was no gatehouse in the gate of the Sui'an Palace, and several people looked at each other, but it was only the official who led the way who stepped forward to knock on the door.
The adult lifted the knocker and knocked on it, but heard no echo inside, and then knocked again, this time with a voice, "Who?" ”
"We are looking for the Fourteenth Prince, can we open the door?"
"What? Looking for the prince, the prince is not here, so he went to work. ”
"Going to work?"
Several people looked at each other again, what does it mean to go to work, is it a place?
"I don't know, where is this work?"
There was no sound in the palace, and then I saw the door opened, and a boy came out of it, and said to a few people: "I don't know what the adults are coming to my prince for?" ”
"If you are in a hurry, you can go to him, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait first, look at the time, my prince will come back from work soon."
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, I just don't know what this commute means?"
The boy scratched his head and said, "Back to this lord, my lord said that commuting to work is to go to work." ”
"Work?" Several people were stunned, they didn't know that King Sui'an, the fourteenth prince still had a job!
