Chapter 73, Is the succession of the vassal king so exciting?
"Did you do it, or did someone else do it?"
Zhang Yanling, who came back from the ghost gate, couldn't care about anything else, and when he arrived at his brother's mansion, he pulled Zhang Heling into the "study", and reprimanded his subordinates far away and asked in a low voice.
"You think I'm crazy?" Zhang Heling grimaced, gritted his teeth and said, "This thing seems to have been done by His Majesty himself!" β
"Are you stupid for me or when Yang Ting is stupid with them?" Zhang Yanling also had a calm face, "Nonsense!" I just ask if it's you! β
"Of course not! Are you crazy when I am? Zhang Heling looked angry, "This matter is like Qian Ning Jiangbin's remnants want to fish in troubled waters, or Wei Bin's people who have been seized of power want to blame!" At this moment, the Queen Mother and we, the elders, and Wei Bin are all suspicious of the emperor! β
Zhang Yanling's IQ is not much different from Zhang Heling, but after returning home, he discussed it with his confidants, only to know that things are still not good, and they are quite bad!
It's just that now the worst possibility needs to be ruled out: "It's really a man-made disaster, the first batch to be cleaned up are the eunuchs and palace maids, Wei Bin and they are crazy?" β
"That's Qian Ningjiang Binyu!" Zhang Heling's eyes lit up, "It must be them!" The emperor and the courtiers became suspicious of each other, and together with the monstrous turmoil, who could care to judge them and condemn them? Even the emperor was afraid for a while, and it was possible to bring them back to use! No wonder His Majesty immediately discussed with the courtiers the disposal of Qian Ningjiangbin's lack of family resources, this is the heart of the courtiers. Your Majesty also thinks that it was Qian Ning and Jiang Binyu who did it! β
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, death row prisoners are really useful.
Zhang Yanling was skeptical, but in the end, he felt more and more reasonable.
Then he said: "The mountain affairs of the Daxing Emperor must not go wrong!" When such a thing happened, His Majesty only suppressed his anger for the sake of the stability of the court, and was afraid that everyone in the ministers would be in danger. But in this matter, someone will definitely be taken out to sacrifice the flag! Now we are just relying on my sister to be the queen mother, and Your Majesty is afraid of losing a mean reputation. In the past two years, there must be no reason to be found! β
"Of course I do! With the help of the old party to keep an eye on it, where will it go wrong? Zhang Heling said confidently, but the weakness in his heart always existed.
Since Emperor Zhengde didn't like the nails planted by these two uncles, if you really want to find any clues, they also point to Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, there should be no problem with the old party's arrangement, right?
It's just that I didn't expect the aggressive emperor in the palace and the first court meeting, how could he not seem to care about this matter?
In the Shouning Marquis Mansion, they were discussing, and on the Yuan Zonggao Mansion that had just moved into the new house, Xie Changjie and others came over non-stop.
"Uncle Zong, what is the fire in the Qianqing Palace?"
As Yuan Zonggao expected, he participated in the court meeting with great terror in the heavy rain, and then who could swallow the morning food in the Wenhua Palace?
After waiting there for a whole morning, when the ministers and the six ministers and the nine secretaries returned, everyone seemed to have died once.
The Son of Heaven's bedroom was on fire, and the sword above his head seemed to be emitting a dragon's groan all the time, which made people feel terrified.
Yuan Zonggao frowned: "Didn't you say it in the Wenhua Palace?" The chamberlain accidentally dumped the fire caused by the oil lamp, and His Majesty gave him food and a banquet, just to make you not think too much. Do what you have to do, and tomorrow the feast will start as scheduled. β
In the Yang Mansion, Yang Tinghe was exhausted in the face of Yang Shen's pestering, and finally couldn't help but shout angrily: "An unintentional loss is an unintentional loss, do you have to be a warning from the heavens or someone deliberately plotting rebellion?" β
Everyone has curiosity, but Yang Tinghe doesn't know what his son thinks.
The unanimous word that everyone who came out of the Qianqing Palace was an unintentional man-made disaster, which may be the truth, but it is easier for some smart people to guess more.
What kind of situation would make so many important ministers cover up the truth together?
After Yang Shen was reprimanded by Yang Tinghe, he didn't dare to ask more, but just sighed: "According to what my father said, Qian Ning Jiangbin has no family resources, and this breath is missing a gap of nearly two million taels, and my son really can't think about it." β
"It's not your turn to think about it! Prepare well for tomorrow's feast, and read the sermon again for the sake of the Father! β
Today's danger is all thanks to the emperor's temporary calming down at a moment's notice.
Yang Tinghe himself is not afraid of his investigation, but the most terrifying thing is the suspicion of the Son of Heaven. As long as this suspicion continues to ferment, then there will be no more attempts to reform the evils and try to make new ones, and the momentum of the emperor's listening to politics, lectures, and persuasion in the past few days will disappear.
Today, Yang Tinghe is really glad that the emperor has such a mature mindβeven if it makes him feel that many things in the future will be more difficult.
Yang Tinghe didn't know that Mao Cheng slandered him, he just tried his best to avoid leading things to the worst situation as usual.
The first assistant of the Ming cabinet locked himself in the study, and the truth about the thunderstorm night fire in the Qianqing Palace seemed to be closed.
After Liu Long went home, he closed the door to thank the guests, and Yan Song also went into the study after returning home.
Luo An sat in the lobby of Jinyiwei, looking at a person standing under his command, there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, and his suspicious eyes swept over a person.
"Keep an eye on me!" Luo An shouted in a deep voice, "There is no trivial matter in the Forbidden Palace!" Although the unintentional mistake of the inner servant caused a catastrophe, the gossip will not be extinguished! If someone wants to take advantage of this, Jinyiwei must know the clues in advance! Disperse the boys. The nine gates are not closed, but the fast horses out of the city and the merchants on the post road should not be missed, especially those who go to the fiefdoms of the feudal kings, do you understand? β
"Humble command!"
The more it is said that it is an unintentional mistake, the more everyone is not stable.
The Forbidden Palace is indeed never a trivial matter, what will be the situation if this matter is used?
In addition, there is a problem with the attendants around His Majesty, what about the minions of the factory guard?
"Wang Zuo, you come with me!" Luo An turned around and walked towards the inner hall, and Wang Zuo, the head of the Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Division, immediately followed.
The other Jinyi Wei high-level executives suddenly tightened their hearts again.
The North Town Fu Division is external, and the South Town Fu Division is internal.
Although he is only responsible for some small things such as Jinyiwei's internal affairs, military craftsmen, and raids, it is not a good signal that Luo An called Wang Zuo alone at this time.
Wang Zuo walked to the inner room of Luo An's office uneasily, and only heard Luo An say one word: "Sit." β
The buttocks were only a little wet, and the feet had to be held on the ground to prevent the chair from lifting.
"How did Lu Bing learn from you?"
ββ¦β¦ Practicing martial arts is a good hand, and learning is ...... I don't understand lowly duties. Wang Zuo's mind turned sharply, why did he ask Lu Bing in the first sentence?
The Son of Heaven is concerned about when his truly loyal man will ascend to the throne! The fire of the Qianqing Palace, sure enough, has an inside story!
Luo An's deep eyes stared at him: "Wang Zuo, you are the person recommended by Gonggong Zhang, Gonggong Wei, and Gonggong Gu. Your Majesty said, if you can teach Lu Bing, it will be a great achievement. In the future, you can at least fight for a hereditary commander of the Jinyi Guard. β
Wang Zuo's heart was agitated, and he knelt down from his seat: "The minister bows to His Majesty Longen, and he will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" Adults have a life, and they will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire! β
Luo An nodded: "You are a smart person." If you want to listen to my next sentence, you must be ready to fall to the ground and prepare for the sea of swords and fires in the future. β
Wang Zuo thought to himself, I was called in by you! If you don't listen, your head will fall to the ground in the next second!
What else can I do?
"Please command, sir!"
The tone was sonorous and powerful, without hesitation.
After a moment of silence, Luo An opened his mouth: "Cabinet scholars, six ministers and nine secretaries, princes and uncles, and honorable relatives, investigate the scene, the fire in the Qianqing Palace is not an unintentional mistake, it is someone who intends to assassinate the driver and plot rebellion!" β
Wang Zuo's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he sprang up again, but the next sentence immediately blurted out: "The humble post will first secretly investigate the Jinyi Guard, and then listen to the instructions of the lord to go to the Beizhen Fusi, and dispatch the loyal and deadly captain to secretly investigate this matter, and he will definitely get ironclad evidence!" β
Luo An looked at him deeply.
If it weren't for the identity of the submerged residence, would he Luo An be able to compare to this Wang Zuo?
There was no sluggishness in the answer, he already knew that this matter could only be investigated secretly. Since it was rumored that it was an unintentional mistake, it was that the emperor was not in a hurry. First sort out the interior of Jinyiwei, and then leave the South Town Fu Division to go to the North Town Fu Division, so that he Wang Zuo can have higher authority to continue the investigation.
Luo An stepped forward and grabbed his arm to make him stand up: "Wang Zuo, you know the severity. Do this well, if you make another miraculous contribution in the future, it is not impossible to be knighted. If you want to die, I will present it to your majesty. β
"Please rest assured! Humble duty will never fail to live up to the trust! β
Wang Zuo saw the vitality of this matter from the undisputed words of the ministers: His Majesty's control over the court was further rising.
The case of the fire in the Qianqing Palace, which has already been settled, can no longer be convicted for stabbing drivers.
But the mastermind and accomplice must have another crime, and they must be worthy of the crime of rebellion!
As long as he, Wang Zuo, can find clues and find solid evidence, then the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will also help Wang Zuo finish this matter, so that the mustard in the heart of the Son of Heaven will be completely eliminated.
If not, in the end, Jiajing will be jealous of the monarch and the minister, and there will be no peace!
The emperor, who was not angry anymore and was lenient and modest, suffered a fire in the dormitory on the eve of the prayer feast, which symbolizes respect for the etiquette system, and tomorrow's prayer feast will continue as usual.
But on this night, many courtiers were in a state of flux.
Some climbed into bed seven or eight times to help them sleep, and some hid at home and didn't dare to go out and drank seven or eight bowls of wine.
Is it so exciting to succeed the vassal king?
I haven't experienced it, I'm really afraid.
