Chapter 148: Hu Hai is missing
The matter of the salt merchant has a result for the time being, and as for whether the others agree, it is not in the consideration of Ran Fang and Fusu.
After coming out of Ran Fang, Fusu went directly to the palace to find Ying Zheng to report the development of the matter.
When he arrived at Zhangtai Palace, the door of the main hall was closed, and even Wei Liang, who was beside his father, was standing at the door.
Seeing him coming, Wei Liang immediately greeted him.
"See Fusu Gongzi."
Fusu glanced inward, signaling what was going on inside him?
saw Wei Liang shake his head, saying that he didn't know either.
He whispered, "The prime minister is inside." ”
"The prime minister's expression was ugly when he came, I guess there was something important."
Fusu thought, I'm afraid it's also a matter of the DPRK.
Presumably because after Zhao Gao, his father didn't trust the eunuchs, so he let Wei Liang go outside to wait for the dispatch.
"So."
"You go and report it, I have something to tell my father."
Wei Liang glanced at Fusu with some surprise, he thought that if he said that just now, Fusu should know that the atmosphere inside was very grim now, and he would turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, Fusu didn't understand what he meant and insisted on going in.
Helpless, he had to bow slightly, then turned around and walked in.
After a while, he came out again and said to Fusu: "Xuanfu Su Gongzi is here." ”
Fusu nodded, and walked in, not seeing Wei Liang's somewhat worried eyes.
After walking in, Fusu didn't think much about it, so he bowed and saluted: "See my father." ”
"Hmm."
At that time, he saw that the expression on his father's face on the high platform was very ugly, as if something bad had happened.
And Li Si, who was standing beside him, turned out to have a cautious expression, and if he looked closely, there was a deep worry in his eyes.
This is so surprising!
As the prime minister of the dynasty, Li Si always looks calm and relaxed, and there are not many cases that can make him so careful.
This is enough to show that the things that Li Si and his father are discussing now are not trivial!
Behind Li Si, there was Taicang Cheng Miao Yuan, his face was even more pale, his body was trembling uncontrollably, and it seemed that a catastrophe was coming.
However, Fusu has never talked much, and since they have no intention of telling him, they don't need to ask more.
"Father, the matter of salt and iron has been resolved."
"The Miao family, the Rong family, the Zi family, and the Li family are all willing to hand over the Yanchi Yantian in their hands without any objections."
"Kanto thought that the refined salt in the area was sold, and Mr. handed it over to the Rong family to be responsible."
"This matter still needs to be decreed by the father and the emperor to inform the world of this matter, so as to prevent people with bad intentions from doing bad things."
After speaking, he stood in place and respectfully waited for Yingzheng's answer.
Ying Zheng, who was originally ugly, showed a touch of joy on his face when he heard his words, and was replaced by deep worry in an instant.
"Okay."
Seeing this scene, the doubts in Fusu's heart deepened.
Li Si saw the puzzlement in Fusu's heart, and after taking a look at Yingzheng, he turned his head slightly and whispered to Fusu: "The eldest son, the second son is missing." ”
Hearing this, Fusu exclaimed, "What?!" ”
Receiving the threat of Yingzheng's fierce eyes, he immediately stood up, lowered his head and said nothing.
Ying Zheng was not in the mood to scold him at this time, but his eyes fell on Li Si again, and he asked with some concern: "How is the flood in Surabaya County?" ”
That's right.
Fusu reacted at this time, Hu Hai went to Surabaya County for disaster relief, why did he disappear?
At that time, Taicang ordered Xu Yuwen to leave with him, and Xu Yuwen handled everything, and Hu Hai just went out to exercise, how could he disappear in his own mansion?
Was it taken captive?
He didn't know what was going on there, and he could only guess in his heart.
At this moment, I saw Miao Yuan walking forward in small steps, and suddenly fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xu has sent back the news that the flooding in Surabaya County has been controlled, and the victims have been pacified."
"But...... The work of getting the victims to repair the canals has not been smooth, but progress has been made. ”
"Now the main affairs of Surabaya County are all focused on rebuilding the canal, and Zhao Gao's corruption has also spread to Surabaya County, so Hu Hai Gongzi wants to return to Xianyang City."
"But I haven't received His Majesty's decree, and the matter of Surabaya County has not been satisfactorily resolved, so Lord Xu advised Prince Hu Hai not to be reckless."
"I never thought that Master Hu Hai would secretly leave Surabaya County, and when Lord Xu found out, Prince Hu Hai and the attendants around him were gone, and Lord Xu sent people to search along the way, but they didn't find any clues."
"Since the departure of Gongzi Hu Hai, I'm afraid it's been 20 days."
Hearing his explanation, Fusu also knew why Yingzheng would be angry.
First, I was really worried that Hu Hai would have an accident, after all, the road was far away, and he didn't bring too many guards with him, so if he met a bad guy, he was afraid that he would be worried about his life.
Second, Hu Hai attached so much importance to Zhao Gao, and wanted to return to Xianyang for Zhao Gao's affairs!
Third, that is, because the matter of Surabaya County has not been resolved, Hu Hai is bent on coming back, this is a protest!
"Father, don't worry, Hu Hai still has attendants by his side, and there will definitely be no danger."
"Erchen is willing to personally lead the troops and take the road to Surabaya County, and he will definitely find Hu Hai on the road."
Ying Zheng didn't speak, his brows furrowed, obviously he wasn't satisfied with this solution.
Seeing this, Li Si also said: "Eldest son, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." ”
"There is more than one way to Xianyang, if there is only one team of soldiers and horses, I am afraid it will be difficult to find."
"If it is known by others, it is inevitable that no one will be unfavorable to Gongzi Huhai."
"It's better to secretly send a few more soldiers and horses to look for it, and if you find the traces of Gongzi Hu Hai, report it in time."
"After that, send someone back to pick it up, so it's safer."
"What does Your Majesty think?"
From the emotional aspect, Fusu's method is more secure.
But from the intellectual aspect, Li Si's method is better, after all, this will not have any impact on the defense of Xianyang City.
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Just according to the Prime Minister's words."
"This matter will be handed over to the prime minister, and Hu Hai will be found back!"
Although Hu Hai is sometimes not angry, he is more stupid when he does things and speaks, and he is also close to Zhao Gao.
But after all, he is also Yingzheng's son, and he is also one of Yingzheng's most beloved sons.
Li Si knew the importance of this matter, and he immediately bowed his head and said, "Huh." ”
"The minister personally sent someone to find it, and he will definitely bring Gongzi Hu Hai back!"
After speaking, he took Taicang Cheng Miaoyuan and left.
At this time, only Fusu was left in the main hall.
He stood in place, not knowing how to get along with Ying Zheng, and wanted to say some comforting words, but he couldn't open his mouth.
"Father, Mr. is worried that there are other people behind the Zi family who are supporting, and he wants to keep these people in Xianyang for the time being."
"I also asked the people of the Gu Mansion to entertain them, and specially asked my sons to come and tell my father."
Speaking of Ran Fang, the expression on Ying Zheng's face really looked better.
He put his hand on his forehead, and his face was full of exhaustion.
"The widow knows."
"The matter of the family, let Ran Fang investigate."
"If you find out who is colluding, you can directly ask Ran Fang to arrest that person!"
"Ran Fang is responsible for the affairs of Xianyang Prison, no matter who it is, Ran Fang can cut it first and then play!"
Fusu was stunned for a moment, and the worry in his eyes was replaced by surprise.
I didn't expect Ying Zheng to give Ran Fang such a big power, and in the future, no matter how big or small the official position is, Ran Fang can directly send him to Xianyang Prison without asking any reason.
If this spreads, I'm afraid that all the civil and military officials will have to slap Ran Fang.
He wanted to ask again, but Yingzheng didn't seem to want to say more.
"No."
"Erchen understood."
