The ministers knelt down one after another: "Minister, please Your Highness, please Our Lady, investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

The statements made by these important ministers of the DPRK and China represent the trend of the times in a certain sense.

No one can stop this, even if it is hard-headed, it has to go to Datong to find out clearly.

This involves an emperor, a military secretary, and a hereditary replacement, a powerful prince.

Who dares to be confused and get by?

Empress Dowager Sun, who finally calmed down, saw that the courtiers had already expressed her position, whether she wanted it or not, she could only pinch her nose and red eyes, and agree first.

In the end, after several discussions, Chen Yi, the imperial history of the left capital, Sun Bo, the governor of the five armies, and Cheng Jing, the eunuch of the palace of the king, rushed to Datong to take charge of this matter.

During the whole process, Yu Qian had been secretly watching His Royal Highness the Servant King.

Yu Qian, who withdrew from the shock, swept his eyes over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had finally stopped crying, and when he thought of His Majesty the Emperor, he closed his eyes, as if remembering an unbearable memory.

Yu Qian exhaled a breath of turbid air and clenched his fists gently.

He knew that this Sun Bo, nine times out of ten, also took refuge in King Yu.

But Yu Qian, until he left, did not speak.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, in order to avoid causing greater panic, Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qiyu warned again and again, but before the matter came out, no news was allowed to be revealed.

Leaving the Wenhua Palace, according to the official ranks, the scattered officials talked in twos and threes, whispering.

Xu Hui, who was of the fifth grade, was far behind, and his figure looked a little lonely.

Turning through the corridor outside the hall and passing through the white marble steps, the red-robed Wang Zhi waited for a long time at the bridgehead.

"Prince?"

Xu Huo couldn't believe his eyes.

Wang Zhi made a gesture, and Xu Huo immediately quickened his pace, almost catching up with a trot.

"Yuanyu is slower, when the official waits for Yuanyu for a long time, it will not be bad at this moment."

Wang Zhi spoke kindly, and called Xu Hui the word, and the intimacy of showing goodwill was overflowing.

Xu Hui looked a little flattered.

"Xia Guan has seen the prince.

The prince is waiting for the next official here, but there is something to explain to the next official? ”

Wang Zhi waved his hand slightly, "It's not a big deal, the official remembers that Yuanyu is the Jinshi and the first in the eighth year of Xuande, and the official happened to preside over the main examination that year, and now I look at it, the official is also regarded as a teacher and student with Yuanyu." ”

Xu Hui's brain was running fast, and in the face of Wang Zhi's sudden show of goodwill, the cautious Xu Huo was completely unsure of what the old fox was planning.

In the palace examination that year, the chief examiner appointed by the first emperor was indeed Wang Zhi, who was still serving in the Ministry of Rites at that time.

If you really talk about it, those who are raised in the middle of the year can be counted as the protégés of the main exam.

Just enough to really become a disciple of the teacher, only a first-class jinshi, or a jinshi who has someone in the family who is an official of the same dynasty can enjoy this kind of treatment.

And Xu Hui, a third-class fellow jinshi who is not good-looking, was not taken into account at all.

In the face of the initiative of the official Shangshu, Xu Huo still has to climb this rod.

Xu Hui immediately bowed his hand: "The student has seen the Great Grandmaster. ”

"Good, good, good".

Wang Zhi said a few good words in a row, and nodded in his heart.

"The old man has nothing else to do, after he gets off duty tonight, come to the official mansion, let's have a good gathering with teachers and students?"

After saying that, Wang Yuan left directly, leaving Xu Huo in confusion.

At this time, please go to the house to gather?

Even if he was confused, after the duty, Xu Hui still came to Wangzhi's mansion with a prayer post and asked the door to hand it over, while he waited obediently on the side.

After a while, a well-dressed middle-aged man who did not stand out from the house walked out quickly.

As soon as he saw Xu Hui, this person's face was full of smiles.

"The little one has seen Lord Xu.

The slave is the housekeeper of the palace, and my lord said, please invite Lord Xu into the mansion quickly, and lead the way for Lord Xu in front. ”

is the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the housekeeper of an executive family like the Wang family, most of them are born in the family, and they are often regarded as their own family members by the master's family, and they are highly regarded as almonds.

Therefore, Xu Hui did not rely on his status as an official of the court to be domineering, but said politely: "It's hard work." ”

After passing the front door and entering the front yard, the housekeeper led Xu Hui in front, about half a pillar of incense, the housekeeper stopped, and several young and beautiful maidservants had been waiting for a long time.

"Lord Xu, the little one can only take Lord Xu here, and there is an inner house behind, and there is a maid leading Lord Xu there."

After saying that, the butler saluted and turned to leave.

Several maidservants led Xu Huo into the inner house, and after a while, they were brought to Wang Zhi, who was dressed in a Taoist robe.

The two are very similar to the two teachers and students who have a friendship between teachers and students, and after a long period of greetings, they went to the side room.

There were only a few delicate side dishes on the table, and there was no scare for serving, only teachers and students.

After sitting down, the two did not rush to move the chopsticks.

"The old man and Yuanyu are both teachers and students, so the old man will not go around in circles with Yuanyu, and if there are some words, the old man wants to ask Yuanyu."

Xu Huo immediately got up, with a solemn face: "Please ask the teacher for advice." ”

"Look at you, what are you doing, what are you so polite to your family, sit down, sit down, what's the matter, you have to let my old bones get up and pull you up?"

Seeing Wang Zhi say this, Xu Huo sat down again.

After seeing Xu Huo sit down, Wang Zhi walked into the main topic leisurely.

"Yuanyu, what happened in the Wenhua Hall today, do you believe it or not?"

Xu Hui pretended to be contemplative, and after a while, he replied: "If you return to your teacher, the student thinks that Ji Duo never has the courage to do so. ”

Wang Zhi nodded and continued to ask, "What will His Royal Highness think?" Why did King Yu let people go to Datong to investigate? Why don't you just let Jinyiwei go to Datong to get people. ”

After leaving the Wenhua Palace, you only need to move your brain to know that King Yu is killing three birds with one stone.

In addition to taking out Kuang Yu and Zhang Fu, he almost removed the right-hand man of the faction loyal to the emperor in the court, and removed the biggest heart disease of King Yu.

At the same time, it stabilized a group of courtiers like Wang Zuo who were loyal to the emperor, so that they still had unrealistic hopes.

sent Cheng Jing and Sun Bo, all of whom were the henchmen of King Yu, and at that time, it was logical to receive the Datong military horses.

In this way, the hundreds of thousands of people and horses in Datong are all in the hands of King Yu.

Xu Huo said slowly, and said carefully, so that Wang Zhi was very satisfied.

This Xu Hui, in addition to speculation, still has some skills.

Wang Zhi raised his wine glass, and Xu Huo also hurriedly picked up the wine glass on the table.

After drinking all the wine in the wine glass, Wang Zhi continued to ask: "Then Yuanyu wants to know, why did His Highness also summon Yuanyu today?" ”

Today, the Wenhua Hall also saw it, and Xu Huo was simply an outlier in it.

Xu Huo replied: "The student thinks ...... I thought it was the love of His Royal Highness King Yu. ”

"This is also", Wang Zhi nodded, and then said amazingly: "Yuanyu and the old man are both members of the King of Servants' party, and Your Highness really loves you and me." ”

When he heard the three words of the Servant King Party, Xu Hui's eyelids jumped fiercely, and a trace of gloom appeared on his face.

Wang Zhi put away the smiling face that had been hanging on the table since he was on the table, and said without being salty or light: "Why is Yuanyu so alarmed?

The old man and Yuanyu, as early as when they fought hard to let King Yu supervise the general government of the country, in the eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you and I were loyal to King Yu. ”
