Chapter 268: An Guogong's Reminder
Shen didn't expect to get this kind of answer, he couldn't help but glance at Xue Nuo, and saw that although she had a bad face, she didn't say anything to refute Xue Yan's words, obviously the two had already talked privately about Xiao Chi's affairs, and Xue Yu also persuaded Xue Nuo not to make a move against Xiao Chi again.
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Shen said, "I understand, I will convey Miss Xue's words to the prince." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shen." Xue Yu smiled lightly.
Shen shook his head: "It's the prince and the Shen family who should thank you." ”
If they can really subdue Xiao Chi, the prince will be like a tiger, and they will no longer have to be afraid of the power in the army.
Xue Yu just smiled when she heard this, and didn't argue with him about this, there are some things that everyone knows well, but it seems hypocritical to talk too much.
Xue Nuo really didn't want to hear about Xiao Chi's bandit leader, even if Xue Yu persuaded her, she still had a kind of feeling like sending her sister out to "make peace" in exchange for help after the marriage of another country.
She reached out to touch the cold fruit drink that was placed aside, and was slapped off by Xue Yu and handed over a cup of warm boiled water.
Xue Nuo held the white water cup in his hand and asked Shen Ke a little unhappily: "What about Qiu Changqing?" ”
Shen said: "A few of them also went to prison. ”
Seeing Xue Nuo raise his eyebrows, he explained, "They trespassed into the place where the camp was held, and they also made a move towards the court officials, although it was excusable and crossed the line."
"An Guogong asked them about their identities before, so it seemed that he wanted to investigate in detail, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that His Majesty would come back and come back to trouble them, and he was also afraid that someone with a heart would think about it like An Guogong, so he simply took the initiative to send them over."
"One person hit ten boards, and after a few days, they were released."
Qiu Changqing was "invited" by Shen to go to the camp to help interrogate the assassins, and it was also a "coincidence" to meet Xiao Chi, an old enemy.
The prince has already taught them the sin of beating the courtiers without permission, and no one will catch them again if they are released, as for the ten boards, it was Wu Jinliang's people who executed them, and they all had a serious hand, that is, they did it for others to see.
Xue Nuo's expression paused slightly when he heard this: "You said that Duke An asked them about their identities, and the prince sent them to prison?" ”
Shen Ke heard her words and instantly thought of something: "Do you think An Guogong is mentioning the prince?" ”
He thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that An Guogong's move seemed to be really deliberate, if he really wanted to know Qiu Changqing's identity and doubted them, he would not let them go easily.
But if he didn't have any suspicions, why did he bother to talk about this in front of the prince, but reminded the prince to sweep his tail away and not to be caught.
Shen Ke's eyes condensed slightly: "When you say this, I remember that the prince told me before, after His Majesty's accident, An Guogong seemed to have reminded him that there was a problem with Dingyuan Hou, and he also talked about Jiang Yuzhu......"
"Is there such a thing?"
"When the assassin was interrogated, when the prince deliberately invited Dingyuan Marquis to go with him to test him, An Guogong said that Jiang Yuzhu was sick and went to the hunting ground."
Later, the prince deliberately tried twice, but An Guogong didn't show anything, which made the prince a little uncertain about An Guogong's attitude.
He couldn't tell whether An Guogong was just saying it casually, or if he was really using an excuse to mention that his Dingyuan Marquis father and son had other plans to go to the hunting ground, which made him wary.
Xue Nuo thought thoughtfully: "By the way, I heard that Jiang Yuzhu had an illness last night, and Feng Yuan sent him back?" ”
Shen nodded: "There is such a thing." ”
"Feng Yuan is very familiar with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?" Xue Nuo asked.
Shen shook his head: "I've never heard of it before." ”
"Feng Yuan is in charge of Jinlinwei, and in order to avoid suspicion, he rarely interacts with the powerful people in the DPRK and China, but when the people from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion left, I took a look, Jiang Yuzhu was indeed very sick, and he was still in a coma when he left the hunting ground in the morning."
Xue Nuo pursed his lips and pondered for a moment before asking, "What about Bai Jinyuan, have you seen it?" ”
Shen shook his head: "He didn't go with the holy driver, saying that he fell last night and injured his face and didn't want to be seen, and he led the people from King Kang's Mansion back to Beijing before dawn, and even King Kang didn't stop anyone." ”
Xue Nuo's heart faintly had some thoughts floating in her heart, and the previous guess became more and more obvious, she squinted her eyes slightly and said to Shen for a moment: "Shen Changrong sent you that ink to the palace before, right?" According to the hour, Jinlinwei's people should also come to the door? ”
Emperor Tianqing had an accident, the inner court was investigated, and the things around him would definitely be passed through by the Tai Hospital and Jinlinwei one by one.
Jin Linwei and those people are all dog-nosed, Feng Yuan is even more cautious, before Na Mo was sent to the palace, she and Shen did a little tricks, which was much easier to check than before.
If Feng Yuan can't find out under such circumstances, then there is really a problem.
Shen said: "If you want to find it, tomorrow at the latest." ”
After tomorrow, he will be able to know whether Feng Yuan is an enemy or a friend, whether he is the old man of Yongzhao who is yearning for the old man of Yongzhao.
Xue Nuo also lowered his eyes and tapped his fingers, even if he didn't tell Shen about something, but at this moment, the thoughts of the two of them thought of the same direction.
Maybe after tomorrow, she will know who the Gu Eagle really is.
……
Shen didn't stay in the Flynn Courtyard for a long time, and after seeing Xue Nuo and settling Xue Yu, he went to see Shen Zhongkang.
An Guogong didn't know what he was saying to Shen Zhongkang, both of them looked a little unpleasant, and when they saw Shen come in, the two stopped talking almost at the same time.
"I know all of this, and I'll arrange it." Shen Zhongkang said.
An Guogong said "um": "The second assistant has always been successful in doing things, so naturally I don't need to worry, I came this time mainly because of the matter of King Xiling." ”
"Yuanfu has already handed over the fold to His Majesty, and he will be old at the end of the month, and I am afraid that the next affairs in the cabinet will have to be handed over to the second assistant to take care of, and you will have to ponder the holy decree sent to King Xiling."
Emperor Tianqing wanted to force the King of Xiling to enter Beijing, but he also didn't want to be talked about, and the proportions of this had to be grasped by the cabinet.
Chen Yin retreated, and this matter naturally had to fall on Shen Zhongkang's head.
But if something goes wrong, this pot has to be carried by Shen Zhongkang.
Shen Zhongkang also knew that he nodded lightly: "I understand." ”
An Guogong looked at the dark sky outside and said, "It's not early, I should leave too." ”
"I'll send Grandpa Guo out."
After Shen Ke spoke on the side, he turned his head to Shen Zhongkang and said, "Grandfather, Your Majesty's arm is extremely injured, and he ordered the prince to take care of the government temporarily, I have to go to the East Palace later, and I won't come back tonight." ”
Shen Zhongkang also knew that the crown prince suddenly acted as an agent for political affairs, and there were many people in the court who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to embarrass him, and he also had to take care of the matter of going to the hunting ground, otherwise he would inevitably be questioned by Emperor Tianqing about his power and unfilial piety, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep busy with the involvement of both ends.
He didn't stop Shen Ke, he only whispered a few words to him, telling him to be extra careful when he ran errands, and to pay more attention to the other side of the East Palace, so as not to let the prince go wrong at such a time.
