Wang Dingyang just came to the gate of the palace with the town.

The guards guarding the palace gate saw that his old marquis had just come with the town again, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless!

Can you choose a different place for a fight? Every time you go to the palace to fight, you will really spend money on the emperor! No wonder those foremen in charge of craftsmen have to prepare generous gifts to send to the Hou Ye's mansion every New Year's Day!

thought so, but he had to respectfully come over and clasp his fists and shout: "Master Hou!"

Wang Dingyang did not hide it: "I have something important to go into the palace to meet the emperor." ”

"Yes!" As soon as the captain stretched out his hand, he invited Hou Ye in.

But Wang Dingyang didn't leave, just took a step and stopped.

The captain couldn't help but wonder: "Master Hou?"

Wang Dingyang looked over, and suddenly several young women came over carrying a sedan chair next to him!

These women should all be martial arts practitioners, otherwise how could a few women carry such a thing as a sedan chair?

The arrival of the big red sedan chair naturally aroused the vigilance of the captain of the guard, but Hou Ye was here, so he naturally had no qualifications to speak, and just looked at Wang Dingyang inquiringly.

Remember the URL

The old marquis didn't speak, just waited for the sedan chair to come before clenching his fists: "I didn't expect you to ask in person!"

The captain couldn't help but be embarrassed, who is in this sedan chair? Even the most awesome Hou Ye in Dajian is so respectful to him!

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a woman's arrogant voice from the sedan chair: "You can't catch the sword of the Ten Thousand God Machine, why do you have to put your life on the line for Zhao Su!?"

“......”

These words made the surrounding guards guarding the palace gate embarrassed. Dare to say the name of the emperor in public, this is a great crime of disrespect!

But none of them dared to jump out and bared their teeth at such a time.

They knew that the previous Qingzhou Divine Consciousness Jiang Wancheng was defeated by the woman in the red sedan chair, and it was so miserable that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy!

What is trash fish called?

In this regard, Wang Dingyang just respectfully said to the woman in the sedan chair: "As a minister, you should bow down and die with all your might! Even if there is a breath of air, this great country, I, Wang Dingyang, will guard it!"

“......”

"Hey," the man in the sedan chair sighed: "If you want me to say, you are called foolish loyalty, but there is merit! It's just that people, stupid and greedy, if Zhao Su agreed to him about this, how could he summon such a disaster?"

"It's my fault!" Wang Dingyang actually took the initiative to take this matter on himself.

The person in the sedan chair didn't say much: "Let's go." ”

"Thank you!"

Seeing Wang Dingyang walking towards the palace, the guards guarding the palace gate didn't dare to say anything, hurriedly ordered someone to let him go, and sent someone to guide the way, and quickly sent the Hou Ye and the person known as the national teacher to see the emperor.

When they saw them walking away, everyone looked at the sky, and their eyes did not blink.

......

At this time, in front of the Daqing Palace, Zhao Su was still listening to the palace guard's narration.

The more he listened, the more angry he became, and he glared at the palace guard and said directly: "This Chen Zicheng is too bastard, killing him is not enough to make people angry!"

"Yes," Lord Gong Bao still responded expressionlessly, and then said: "He can do this because of Prime Minister Ding Cheng's instructions, so he has been much more restrained since last year, but Jiang Lu on the Qingzhou side has never contacted him again!"

"Arrest first, and arrest all those who have something to do with him!

"Yes!"

Zhao Su was angry, looked at the palace guard and asked, "Who else is involved in the affairs of the envoys?"

Kung Pao Chicken Thief peeked at Gonggong Li.

Gonggong Li was so frightened by his eyes that he fainted instantly!

Bangdang ......

Zhao Su frowned.

"Ahem,"

The maid who came over hurriedly checked the situation of Gonggong Li: "Gonggong Li, Gonggong Li!

"Lift it down!"

"Yes!"

......

Look at the palace guard, the emperor motioned for him to continue.

"Your Majesty, now that Lord Wen Kewen has left the court, the emperor has not made any other arrangements for his position, so Chongwen Hall has not participated in the establishment of this list recently, and now it is all set by the people of Shangxi Mansion and the Ministry of Rites, but these things are too greasy, so they are all done by special people, and there is a set of relationships in it. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The work of this mission is a fat difference, not only to earn a lot for the above, but also to earn a lot for themselves, so many people are rushing to go. But the number of people who enter the mission is limited after all, so Chen Yuanliang thought of a way. ”

"Method?" Zhao Su looked at Gong Bao and became even more puzzled.

"He will set a price for this person who enters the mission, according to the level of status, and different people will set different prices, according to the person to sell one by one, such as the last trip of Lord Gu, they know that it is fat, especially to Xiyong, so even if it is a servant's price, it is one hundred taels, that's it, one hundred taels of seats are the next person, and people are rushing to go! In just one day, all the six hundred heads of the mission were sold, and the amount of silver that he had secretly put into his pocket in those few days was estimated to be as much as two thousand taels, not counting his share and his final share himself. According to Weichen's estimate, he is just a petty official, and only less than 10% can fall in this matter, and the big head has to be given to the officials above. ”

"Above?" Zhao Su immediately understood, what was above, to put it bluntly, this matter was the participation of the Ministry of Rites and the Monk Xifu, so the distribution was all for the Monk of the Ministry of Rites. The right prime minister Ding Wei died of a serious illness as early as the year before last, and he didn't mention it at the end of the matter.

Gong Bao said bluntly: "Shangxi Mansion, the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Zicheng." ”

"Hmph! bastard thing," Zhao Su paused again, turning his head to look at the palace guard who was squinting his eyes and waiting for the Holy Lord's ruling.

Seeing that the emperor's expression changed, and he did not order a strict investigation in one breath, the palace guard immediately reported again: "Chen Yuanliang kept an eye on it, he knew that this matter was too risky, and once something happened, he would be killed, so he secretly made an account book, just because he was afraid that if someone wanted to harm him, he would use this account book to blackmail those people." ”

As he spoke, Gong Bao took out the account book.

It was a piece of cloth wrapped in his arms, carefully opened the yellow cloth, it was a half-burned blue book, and the name written in the regular script could also be seen on this blue book: "Wende Twelve Years, Mission Notes" was signed, Chen Yuanliang.

Zhao Su looked at Gong Bao, took the account book and glanced at it, then closed it, and looked at Gong Bao with a low brow.

Gong Bao changed his words at this moment, and said: "This account book was snatched from his house, and when Feixue under the minister sneaked into his house, someone was sneaking into the study to steal this account book, and burned it on the spot. Blizzard snatched it out regardless of his safety. ”

"Uh," said the palace guard, who seemed to have difficulty deciding, and added: "This account has not been read by the minister, but Feixue overheard some things, which are very important, and it involves Shangxi Mansion, the Ministry of Rites, and the son-in-law of Prime Minister Ding, so the minister has to come to ask His Majesty." ”

"Well," showing the majesty of the Ninety-Five Lord, with a stern expression, Zhao Su reprimanded: "This Chen Zicheng is really lawless!

"Yes," Lord Gong Bao immediately had a direction and asked, "Your Majesty, Lord Gu from Shangxi Mansion and Master Hu from the Ministry of Rites, do they want to ask as well?"

"Well, it's time to ask!"

"Yes, Lordship. ”

The palace guard was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Su: "If you want to investigate this matter, start from the root, especially this Chen Zicheng!"

"Since you have eyebrows, check it as soon as possible, do it as soon as possible, don't delay the morning after tomorrow, I want to ask them in person, what they are doing with this mission!"

"Yes," the expressionless Gong Bao clenched his fists, and then prepared to retreat, but as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Zhao Su again: "Well, these juniors of Ding Wei are too disagreeable and should be severely punished." But Prime Minister Ding Cheng has dedicated his life to my great construction, so he is in the ground, and if he can, don't bother. ”

Saying that, Zhao Su twisted his beard and said: "Feixue has made a great contribution this time, and he was injured because of his merits, so he will be given a pennant and a hundred taels of gold!"

"The minister Feixue Xie Emperor Longen! The minister must handle it as soon as possible. ”

......

Gong Bao walked quite fast when he retreated, and Zhao Su couldn't help frowning as he watched him walk across the square.

The first page of the ledger, although it was slightly charred and burned to the point that it was impossible to make out some of the handwriting, it was still clearly recorded: "On January 6, the envoy to Qingzhou, the number of people, one hundred and twenty people, led the team, Zhang Lin,"

And this is followed by a line: "Queen Zhao, divided into three thousand taels, three people are recommended, Zhang Lin, Wang Yelang, Huang Bo...... Gu Yuanqing, divided into five thousand taels, recommend ten people......"

Next to which line of Zhao Shang was, there was also a special note: "Zhang Lin passed on the words of Empress Zhao and promised to help promote him to the guest of honor." ”

This Zhang Lin, who is Zhao Shang's nephew, has been in and out of the palace frequently in recent times, showing his face a lot. Yesterday, Zhao Shang also mentioned him, saying that Zhang Lin's literary talent is good, let Zhao Su see him. He saw it, indeed as she said, the exit is a chapter, I heard that he is just an idle official in the Ministry of Rites, and he is also Jinke's Tanhualang, Zhao Shang felt that it was a pity, he couldn't wipe his face, and it happened that in his hand was Xuzhou's sentence Qian Yongfeng to return to his hometown, Zhao Su conveniently arranged for him to be released to the position of an official, and the general judgment, in addition to the prefect in a state, it was a general judgment, and the power was great.

Thinking of this, Zhao Su couldn't help frowning.

"Wen Haolai,"

The commander of the guards standing on one side replied, "The minister is here,"

"How is your dad doing?

This guard commander named Wen Haolai is the son of the former young master of the crown prince and the old man Wen Kewen of Chongwen Palace. Because after Zhao Yi died, Zhao Ling ascended to the throne, and this old man Wen Kewen knew that politics was hopeless, so he wanted to resign and go into hiding. I wanted to take the opportunity to flee overseas, but I didn't want to be stopped by the emperor, so I arranged to do a spare job outside and let him recuperate.

Although he is a saint, his son once planned to assassinate Zhao Ling, which is a stain that he can't erase anyway. As soon as Zhao Yi died, Mr. Wen had the intention of retreating. Unexpectedly, now the emperor actually thinks of him again!

Wen Haolai witnessed the process just now, although he didn't know what was written in the account book, but with his experience as an official, he could guess that this matter was extremely involved, at least half of the officials of the imperial court were involved. As the emperor's close attendant, he also knew many secrets unknown to the emperor, and naturally understood what the emperor meant, so he said: "My father is fine, I have nothing to do to study, and I have some flowers and plants as companions." ”

"Well, can't you play chess?"

"Uh" Wen Haolai pondered the holy will and replied: "I can't find anyone who can play chess now, I'm afraid it's a little rusty." ”

"Come on, I'm itching too. ”

"Yes......"

As he spoke, the guards hurried over there. Wen Haolai greeted him and listened to the guards' recital.

When he heard the news, even he couldn't help but be surprised, hurriedly ran up the steps, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the giant deer and the national teacher are here, and they want to help the emperor block the sword of the Ten Thousand Divine Machine!"

"What?"

Zhao Ling was surprised, this was the first time he had heard the words "Ten Thousand God Machine"!

This time, the target is him again!
