When He Qingxiao interrogated Zhao Langzhong, the news that Zhang Xu and others were captured by Jin Linwei had already reached the ears of Zhang Shoufu and others.

Several ministers hurriedly entered the palace to face the saints, and the low-level officials who were angry that Jinlin Wei was powerful and powerful could not enter the palace at will, so they gathered together and waited outside the palace gate.

"He Zhenfu took Jin Linwei around to arrest people?" After listening to the report of the courtiers who entered the palace to complain, Emperor Xingyuan showed a look of surprise, "Why what?" ”

Emperor Xingyuan's question, Zhang Shoufu was not able to speak.

Because his grandson scolded the adopted son of the former queen, in fact, it is likely to be the emperor's son?

When this is said, it means that you can get a few words of comfort from the emperor in words, but what can you actually do?

Zhang Shoufu was not easy to speak, but the imperial envoy Du who entered the palace together was not afraid: "Back to Your Majesty, it has been rumored recently that the Hanlin Academy has been waiting for the edict to impersonate Mr. Songling, sell his reputation and deceive the world." This matter caused widespread discussion in Shilin, and the envoy of He Zhen used this as an excuse to arrest people at will......"

After listening to Du Yushi's report, Emperor Xingyuan frowned slightly: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"It's true, I heard that in addition to the prisoners of Guozijian, the envoy of He Zhenfu also arrested many officials." Du Yushi became emotional, "Your Majesty, being convicted for words is often the beginning of tyranny!" The minister implores His Majesty to issue an order to release the people, and severely punish Jinlin Weibei Town's envoy He Qingxiao! ”

The other ministers knelt down and expressed their support for Du Yushi in silence.

"Du Yushi, don't be excited, wait for the envoy of He Zhen to come into the palace and ask. Sun Yan—"

The great eunuch Sun Yan responded and immediately arranged for someone to go to Beizhen Fusi to pass on the message.

At this time, He Qingxiao had already asked the result.

Zhao Langzhong's face turned pale, and his eyes pleaded: "Lord He, I have said everything you know, can you-"

He Qingxiao smiled: "Zhao Langzhong should still think about walking out of the door of Beizhen Fusi, right?" ”

At this time, a Jinlin guard came up and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Look at people." After explaining, He Qingxiao hurriedly entered the palace with the messenger.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty." Walking into the Qianqing Palace, He Qingxiao didn't give the courtiers in the palace half a look, and knelt down on one knee.

"Envoy He Zhenfu, I heard that you have arrested a lot of officials and students of Guozijian?"

"Yes. These people spread rumors and slandered Xin Zhizhao, and Xin Zhizhao was rewarded by His Majesty himself, and they did this to be disrespectful to His Majesty—"

"He Zhen Fu envoy, you are a chicken feather arrow!" Du Yushi angrily interrupted He Qingxiao's words.

This traitorous villain, not only is he not weak in front of His Majesty, but he actually wants to detain the crime of great disrespect on the person who was arrested!

"Du Yu Shi is in a hurry." Emperor Xingyuan didn't see joy or anger on his face, and his tone was light, "I understand, there are rumors outside, which has caused many people to misunderstand Xin Zhizhao, and although He Zhenfu's move is to maintain my majesty, it is a bit excessive...... He Zhen Fu envoy, these people don't have to occupy a place in the edict prison, let them go earlier. ”

"We're in command."

"Your Majesty, the envoy of He Zhenfu ignores the law and discipline and runs rampant, if he is not punished, he may make the hearts of hundreds of officials cold!" Du Yushi kowtowed.

The other ministers also bowed.

Emperor Xingyuan condescendingly glanced at the courtiers who knelt on the ground, and his tone was light: "Jinlinwei's military discipline and law and discipline, I remember that it was under the control of the Fusi of Nanzhen, and it was rumored that Jinlinwei Nanzhen Fu sent Kong Rui into the palace to meet him." ”

Zhang Shoufu, who was kneeling silently, frowned secretly.

The emperor's tendency is too obvious, although Jin Linwei's law and discipline are under the control of Nanzhen Fusi, but they are all in front of the emperor, and it is really decided if you really have the heart to deal with it.

It seems that this time I entered the palace, and that's it.

didn't wait too long, Kong Rui arrived.

"Wechen Kong Rui has seen Your Majesty."

In front of the foreign ministers, Emperor Xingyuan explained the situation in a businesslike tone and asked, "Envoy Kong Zhen, what do you think should be done?" ”

Kong Rui didn't look at He Qingxiao, nor Zhang Shoufu and the others, and said lightly: "Jinlinwei is directly responsible for His Majesty, and it is Jinlinwei's duty to maintain His Majesty's majesty. ”

He has also heard the rumors of the past few days. Cousin Xin said from the beginning that he was not Mr. Songling, and these people poured dirty water on Cousin Xin, and they should go to the prison to squat for two days to sober up.

"Kong Zhen Fu envoy, you are shielding the villain!" Du Yushi said angrily.

Kong Rui was surprised: "Why did Du Yushi say this?" I don't know He Zhen well, what are you doing to protect him? ”

Du Yushi choked.

Zhang Shoufu and the others also frowned.

Jin Linwei's official rank is not high in the north and south of the town, and the north town is in charge of the criminal investigation and prison can be directly responsible to the emperor, and the limelight overshadows the commander, this Nansi town envoy has never had a sense of existence, who would have thought that Jing'an Hou Kongrui would take over.

Is this just a simple Nanzhen Fu envoy? No, this is the son of the eldest princess, the emperor's eldest nephew!

Changle Hou served as the envoy of the North Town, and Jing'an Hou served as the envoy of the South Town. One is homeless and unemployed, and the other is the biggest backer of the dynasty, no wonder Jin Linwei commanded Feng Nian to drink every day.

Emperor Xingyuan opened his mouth: "It's just the turmoil caused by words, and let people go." Xin Zhizhao had already told me that he was not Mr. Songling, there was no such thing as an impostor, and Zhu Qing should also restrain his nephews and students to distinguish the facts, and not follow the crowd. ”

These words can be regarded as the conclusion of this trouble.

"Yes." No matter what the ministers thought in their hearts, they didn't insist anymore.

"Zhu Qing, step aside. He Zhen Fu envoy, you stay for a while. ”

"The ministers are leaving."

Zhang Shoufu and the others left the palace and were surrounded as soon as they walked out of the palace gate.

"My lord, how is the situation?"

"Will they be released?"

"Did you punish He Qingxiao today?"

……

There was no one else in the Qianqing Palace, and Emperor Xingyuan first asked: "Can Xin Zhizhao be interfered by rumors?" ”

As soon as he heard this rumor, Emperor Xingyuan was half angry, but what he couldn't do. You can't stop the mouth of the people, even if he is the emperor.

"According to the minister's observation, Xin Zhizhao did not show anything unusual."

He Qingxiao's words are very interesting, and if he doesn't show it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't.

Sure enough, when Emperor Xingyuan heard this, he sighed: "I wronged him." ”

This kid is too strong and forbearing.

"Qingxiao, how is that matter?"

"Back to Your Majesty, after handwriting comparison, Zhao Qingyun in the household department is the person who corresponded with Zhou Tong. Just before the minister entered the palace, he also confessed. ”

A few days earlier, He Qingxiao reported the letter left by Zhou Tong to Emperor Xingyuan, and Emperor Xingyuan was surprised and angry, but he did not reveal half a point in front of the hundred officials.

Today, Jin Linwei is arresting people with rumors about Xin Zhizhao, Zhang Xu and others are a cover to attract attention, and the real target is Zhao Langzhong.

By writing a letter of guarantee, it is confirmed that if it is not Zhao Langzhong, he will be put back, so that he will not be startled, and he can continue to secretly investigate the identity of "Dongsheng".

Luckily, Zhao Langzhong was the person he was looking for.
