Tibetan beads

Chapter 277
The crown prince was taken back to the East Palace and grounded, and Yan Ling was not released back to the palace.

On the surface, the emperor was angry that they took the crown prince outside to fool around, but in fact, he was angry that the crown prince colluded with Duke Zhao's government.

Before Yu Chong's case was settled, this incident happened, and the emperor's head hurt.

"This silly boy, if I'm not here, won't he be fooled by the Yan family?" The emperor said, feeling a twinge in his heart, and he stretched out his hand to cover it.

Zhang Huaide hurriedly stepped forward to help him rub it: "Your Majesty, calm down, calm down. Isn't there still you here? You are in the prime of life, and if you teach him slowly, the prince will naturally become sensible."

The emperor thinks about it too, he is not over half a century now, how can he live for another 20 years, the prince will always be stable by then, right?
Zhang Huaide went on to say: "Your Majesty, this servant feels that the Crown Prince cannot be blamed for this matter. The Crown Prince has always treated people with sincerity, how could he expect the Yan family to harbor evil intentions? I just don't know how many people around the crown prince have been bribed by the Yan family and need to be cleaned up. "

The emperor nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I'm really tolerant of the Yan family! Before Yan Shu pretended to be sick, some people thought I was too harsh on them. Hehe, look at what they did! If I didn't find out, Donggong would have to Hollowed out!"

The more he thought about it, the worse he felt.Look at what the Yan family has done, sending money to the prince, and people around the prince. A few days ago, the prince tried to manage the government, and Yan Er came up with ideas and money.

What a great idea to exchange a few abandoned horse farms for tax money!But when he first ascended to the Great Treasure, with such a worry-ridden minister, how could he endure such hardship?Over the years, the Yan family has been respectful to the court, but in fact, they have not paid a cent of taxes.They spent so much time on the prince, how will they get it back in the future?

Zhang Huaide softly comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, don't you already know?"

He paused for a moment, and then said regretfully: "It would be great if General Yu was still around. With him holding Yan's back, the Crown Prince will definitely not be fooled."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, splitting into the fog of my mind.The emperor trembled and murmured: "Yu Chong...contains..."

He sat up straight suddenly, and goose bumps came up on his back because of this thought.

Why did he choose Miss Yu as the crown princess?Because I want Yu Chong to restrain the governors everywhere!The Yan family is powerful and close to the capital, which is the most important thing.

Before Yu Chong sued Duke Zhao, the emperor meant to let them restrain each other. Such a balance is a good thing for the prince.

Now that Yu Chong is dead, even if there is a new general, it will not be possible to establish prestige in a short time!
Looking at his suddenly changed face, Zhang Huaide asked with concern: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The emperor came back to his senses, and ordered with a pale face, "Ask someone to check whether that restaurant has anything to do with Duke Zhao's mansion!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Huaide's heart finally fell into his stomach, and he lowered his head in response: "Yes."

……

It was dark, and a servant came to the gate of the palace.

The guards were embarrassed: "This father-in-law has already closed the gate of the palace, so it is not good to open it again."

The servant handed over the token and said calmly: "This is the holy order."

Huh?The forbidden army hurriedly took it, checked it carefully, and asked, "Where is father-in-law going? Do you want us to escort you?"

The servant withdrew the token and refused people thousands of miles away: "No need. Your Majesty has orders, so don't say anything."

The imperial guard let out an oh, stopped talking, turned around and ordered his subordinates to open the door.

The servant went out of the palace gate, walked through the streets and alleys in the dark, and entered a long street after a while.Although this street is long, there are only two mansions, one is Duanwang Mansion and the other is Yiwang Mansion, so it is also called Wangfu Street.

Entering Wangfu Street, the servant looked around vigilantly, and knocked on the corner door of Yiwangfu.

Both King Yi and King Duan are the younger brothers of the emperor, survivors of the chaos in the green forest.Compared with the elegant Duan Wang, Yi Wang is a typical playboy.However, the relationship between the two brothers is quite good, the palace is close to each other, and they have a lot of contact with each other.

The servant entered Yiwang's mansion, and a steward came over immediately.The two sides exchanged a few words in a low voice, and the steward led him to the back garden.Then the servant went through the hidden door in the garden to Duan Wang's mansion.

Seeing King Duan's confidant guard, the servant opened his mouth and said, "Elder-in-law asked me to pass on the message that His Majesty wants to investigate the restaurant. You should do something, and those two crossbows, find a way to get involved with Duke Zhao's mansion..."

The servant knew that he couldn't stay for long, so after a brief explanation, he left the same way.

When he left the corner gate of Prince Yi's Mansion and was about to return to the palace, footsteps suddenly sounded in the darkness, and several figures flashed out from the darkness, blocking him.

Under the illumination of the lantern, the leader was wearing a conspicuous policeman's costume: "My father-in-law, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

……

Just after dawn, the emperor who had been angry with the prince all night was woken up.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and Mr. Qingzhang of Dali Temple are fighting!"

The emperor was confused by the news, and asked the servant, "What?"

The waiter hurriedly reported: "Master Li said that a thief was arrested last night and he wanted to search Duan Wang's mansion. Mr. Zhang said that this was clearly his job. How can there be any reason to search without asking. The two sides are in Duan There was a fight in front of the Wangfu, and I came to you to comment early in the morning."

The emperor was confused, and when he saw the thief, he finally understood.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice said that someone left the palace late at night and delivered a message to Prince Duan's mansion, and they caught him!
"Your Majesty! This servant is wronged!" The servant shouted, "This servant is following your order to spread the message, and she is familiar with the steward of Yiwang Mansion, so she took the opportunity to meet with him instead of going to Duanwang's Mansion!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sneered: "Really? What a coincidence. You just knocked on the door, and the steward appeared, as if waiting there specially. And the mud on your feet, you clearly went to the back garden, And it so happens that there is a secret door leading to Duan Wang's mansion, how dare you say you didn't go to Duan Wang's mansion?"

Without waiting for the servant to explain, the minister of Dali Temple yelled: "Li Shangdao, what do you mean? Our Dali Temple is responsible for the search of Prince Duan's Mansion, and you can send people to follow it secretly. Now that you catch the thief, you can ask us to assist you. The people guarded him and forcibly searched Duan Wang's mansion. What's the matter, are you treating me as a thief?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice gave him a blank stare: "Aren't you? Your people are still guarding the Duanwang Mansion, why you don't know why you were mixed in? Who knows if you are guarding yourself?"

The Minister of Dali Temple was so angry that he turned around and shouted: "Your Majesty! Since I got your will, I have worked hard and searched for clues. Their Ministry of Punishment has made such false accusations. How can I deal with it? I beg you to seek grievances!"

"Stop talking nonsense here." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment pushed back unceremoniously, and also shouted to the emperor, "Your Majesty, he deliberately blurred the point, and he didn't know what his intentions were. I ordered the search of Duanwang's mansion, which was really the situation at that time. Urgent, this thief is acting suspiciously, follow the investigation and if you are not sure, you will know the accomplices of King Duan!"
