My wife is weirder than the last
Chapter 154 Chapter 235-237 The Truth
Chapter 154 Chapter 235-237 The Truth
As soon as Lieutenant Wang's voice fell, the imperial army under him split up and dispersed in an orderly manner, their steps were orderly and steady, and the metal sounds from the armor on their bodies were also uniform, showing high quality.
Everyone is waiting here to be surrounded by the imperial army.The gate of Cui's mansion was half open, and some guards and servants didn't know why, and they didn't dare to make a sound to obstruct anything, they just watched worriedly.
The gates of the surrounding mansions were all closed, and the original guards at the mansion gates also took them back.
This street was originally a gathering place for dignitaries and dignitaries in Tai'an. The Dali Temple and the Forbidden Army teamed up to make such a big battle, which made many people wonder what happened to the Cui Mansion.
Coincidentally, they were all peeping in the dark, wanting to see what happened.
The most important thing above the court is the timeliness of information. This matter of Cui Yuan must be fully understood at the first time, and it is something that all parties must pay attention to.
Especially with Cui Yuan, the civil servants of the Wei University Scholars group, they couldn't help being surprised and concerned when they saw this situation.
With Yu Gan's current strength, he can naturally feel the focused attention of others, so he doesn't care.Let those other mansions stare at him.
With my current status, sooner or later I have to deal with a large number of officials.
"Old Ji, this boy Yu Gan has a good momentum now, very stable." On the left side, Du Hui lightly touched Ji Cheng's arm.
Ji Cheng glanced at Du Hui, and said as usual, "Call me Director Yu, I have as many leaves on my cuffs as you. Why do you call me a boy?"
Du Hui's cheeks twitched violently twice, remembering that when he first met Yu Gan, the other party looked at him very reservedly and obediently.
Now it flies directly into the sky, which is too fast.
It is common for Dali Temple to change positions, and it is not uncommon for subordinates to change at the same level.But we all do this kind of thing step by step, and we have enough time to prepare in our hearts.
But Yu Gan didn't play his cards according to the routine at all, he jumped to the next level and became a celebrity under Bai Shaoqing.
In terms of real status, he is higher than Du Hui.
It is really that 20 years of hard work is not as good as someone else's two months.The middle-aged Du Hui still spoke with a little worry.
Ji Cheng also brought two people from Ding Yousi, one was Yan Sheng and the other was Wu Wancai.It stands to reason that these two old fritters seldom attend work.
But there is no way, after Yu Gan and Shi Du left, most of Ding Yousi's new force was directly cut off, and it will take some time for the newcomers to be included.
Therefore, Ding Yousi's temporary life is still difficult.Those old fritters are not easy to fish, so they can only follow along.
At the moment, Yan Sheng, who knows everything, is having a heated fight with other deacons of Dingbu, and the main topic is Yu Gan.
The main reason is that Yan Sheng is bragging, telling the glorious history of how he "educated" Yu Gan back then.
This old man in his 30s who loves to eat melon seeds has no hobbies, and his mouth is so good that he can blow it.
"Cui Yuan's identity is here after all, what is the reason for making such a big move now?" Ji Cheng asked.
"Are you aware of the Qinyuan case?" Du Hui asked back.
"Well, I know a little bit." Ji Cheng nodded.He has not been directly involved in this case, but has only heard about it, and the specific circumstances are not very clear.
Not to mention the information that Qintian inspected.
Du Hui succinctly told Ji Cheng all the information he knew, and he knew it well, after all, he was Gongsun Yan's confidant.
After listening, Ji Cheng squinted his eyes and asked, "So Yu Gan is leading two such big cases right after he took office?"
"Well, that's why we say that young people are like tigers. They are courageous enough to be responsible for such cases," Du Hui sighed, his tone full of praise for Yu Gan's courage.
Ji Cheng pondered, looking at Yu Gan's back, squinting his eyes.He naturally knew what these two cases meant.
With the imperial army settling down, the front of the mansion was finally much wider, the door of Cui's mansion was opened directly, and a clear and hale figure walked out.
It was Cui Yuan, with a very calm expression, he looked around for a while, and finally fell on Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan.
As the top leader of Yushitai, Cui Yuan obviously has seen the world, and he was not flustered by the current change, but said to Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan with a calm voice.
"What are Director Yu and Minister Gongsun doing this time?"
Yu Gan turned over and walked towards Cui Yuan with a smile on his face, cupping his fists and saying, "Cui Zhongcheng, please cooperate."
After reaching Cui Yuan's side, Yu Gan leaned forward a little and said in a voice that only each other could hear, "Cui Zhongcheng, Your Majesty is pressing hard.
The blood witch's whereabouts are now unknown, and our Dali Temple has no choice but to make a bad move.After all, your government is suspicious, and we must investigate thoroughly.
This is an explanation to His Majesty, and it is actually an explanation to you, Cui Zhongcheng.
Once it is verified that there is no problem with the closure of the government this time, the suspicion of your government will be greatly reduced.Therefore, please cooperate with Cui Zhongcheng. "
"Since it is a sacred order, I will naturally obey it." Cui Zhongcheng took two steps back and bowed in the direction of the palace. "Cui has acted upright and has a clear conscience, but Director Yu should investigate thoroughly."
"Thank you, Master Cui, for your cooperation," Yu Gan laughed, and then coldness instantly appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look at the people in Qin Tianjian and Dali Temple below, and said loudly.
"The purpose of raiding Cui's mansion this time is to find traces of the blood witch. Everyone enters the mansion, and no corner is allowed to be let go of the hidden pavilion. A thorough investigation of Cui's mansion is required.
The people of Qin Tianjian are responsible for carefully checking all the traces left by the blood witch.The people at Dali Temple took care of all the details.
If you encounter suspicious people or things, control and report them immediately, and in case of emergency, you can act first and act later.Don't have any scruples.Set off. "
After finishing speaking, Yu Gan turned his body sideways, except for Shinichi, Ji Cheng and Du Hui who stayed behind, and the rest of the people filed into the mansion.
The specific details need to be discussed and taken care of by Qin Tianjian and the leader of Dali Temple.These two forces are not as tense as they are with Monster Hunting Hall.
The cooperation between Dali Temple and Qin Tianjian has always been frequent, and the exchanges are very close, so they usually get along very happily.
"Master Cui, please forgive our difficulties in Dali Temple." Yu Gan smiled again and looked at Cui Yuan.
The latter looked at Yu Gan who had changed his face quickly as usual, nodded slightly, and stayed at the gate of the mansion, not going in, letting others go over the mansion.
Only then did Yu Gan go down, first he bowed to Zhenyi and said, "Master Daoist, I didn't expect you to lead the team this time, everything is up to Daoist Master."
Shinichi became a Taoist inspector, and said with a smile, "Director Yu, you are being polite. I did not congratulate Director Yu for his promotion immediately. Please don't blame me."
"The Daoist is polite."
"Director Yu, don't worry, I already know the breath of the blood witch, and I won't miss anything." Shinichi finally promised.
"So, I'm relieved." Yu Gan smiled, then turned his head to look at Du Hui and Ji Cheng, and said with a smile, "Boss, Minister Du, I'm sorry."
Regarding Yu Gan's title, Ji Cheng accepted it frankly and nodded, "I will cooperate with Zhen Daochang."
But Du Hui laughed and said, "Boy, I won't dare to call you a boy in the future. Just now your former boss specifically criticized me. I'm going to call you Director Yu instead."
Yu Gan smiled dumbly and remained silent.
"Okay, don't talk about it, I'm going to get more developed in the future, and I want to cover me." Du Hui made a joke at the end, and went to the mansion with Ji Cheng to do business.
Shinichi also followed in.The work inside needs to be coordinated and distributed by the three of them.
There is no specific arrangement for the remaining work.
Ji Cheng and Du Hui have much more experience than his sons in such trivial matters as inspections, so there is nothing to worry about.
If you are the person in charge, you must have the image of a leader.Just wait outside and wait for the result.
The door was quiet again, Yu Gan walked back to Gongsunyan's side, and asked in a low voice, "Minister, can I do it?"
"Moderate, but nothing serious, just wait." Gongsun Yan returned lightly.
"Minister, I'm only 19 years old, can't you praise me more?" Yu Gan muttered in a low voice.
Gongsunyan raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Gan. Although she didn't speak, her eyes were enough. The latter shut up and silently waited for the results in the courtyard.
At this time, Cui Yuan, who was above the steps, took the initiative to come down and came to Yu Gan and the other two.
"Master Cui, what's the matter?" Yu Gan asked.
"I would like to ask Director Yu, should the government inspect only my Cui residence, or Prince Qin's residence as well?" Cui Yuan asked a very abrupt question.
Yu Gan was thinking of words, he couldn't tell others that if you don't have Qin Wangdao, you will pick on you first.
Gongsun Yan on the right directly took over the conversation, "Check."
Cui Yuan turned his gaze back, looking at the scene of chickens flying around in the mansion expressionlessly, his eyes were calm.
"Master Cui, everyone may be a little rude, please don't mind, it's all for His Majesty." Yu Gan said aloud.
Cui Yuan didn't answer, just smiled lightly, indicating that he understood.
After half an hour, people from the mansion came out one after another.
"Daozhang, how is it?" Yu Gan asked directly.
Shinichi shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with Master Cui's house, at least apart from that other courtyard, I haven't found any traces of blood witches living here."
"Lord Cui, I have breached several secret rooms in the mansion. There is a reason for this, so please understand." Du Hui cupped his fists and explained to Cui Yuan, "However, don't worry, let's look through anything."
After all, this time it's just a blood witch investigation, not Zha Cuiyuan himself. Dali Temple's bottom line is still very good.
Cui Yuan, as the head of Yushitai, has many things to show face, otherwise he will make you feel sick at Dali Temple in the court, and he will feel uncomfortable.
Those who come out to hang out, as long as there is no enmity, they will carry each other in flowery sedan chairs, and it is impossible to be too ruthless without an absolute will.
"It doesn't matter." Cui Yuan nodded and said, "As long as the truth can be found out, this trivial matter is fine."
"Lord Cui, there has been a lot of trouble in the siege this time. I now believe that Master Cui is innocent, but after all, there have been blood witches in your mansion, and the suspicion cannot be completely ruled out.
If there is any need for Master Cui's help in the future, I will bother you again. "Yu Gan finally bowed and said.
"It should be like this." Cui Yuan nodded, flicked his sleeves lightly, turned and went back to the house.
The Forbidden Army outside the mansion also withdrew back under the command of Captain Wang, and stood in line.
"Minister, next, are you really going to the palace?" Yu Gan asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty's meaning." Gongsun Yan nodded.
"Okay, then go to King Qin's Mansion or King Zhao's Mansion first?" Yu Gan asked again.
"You are in charge, you decide." Gongsun Yan did not give an answer.
Yu Gan got on his horse and said loudly to the people behind him, "Go to Prince Zhao's Mansion."
Gongsun Yan also got on the horse and walked side by side with Yu Gan. The horse walked at a normal pace, but the speed was very slow.
The people in the back lined up and followed in unison. A huge team walked towards Zhao Wang's mansion on the wide streets of the inner city.
"Boss, what do you mean, are we going to encircle Prince Zhao's Mansion?" A lieutenant behind Captain Wang asked in a low voice.
The former looked at Yu Gan who was riding on the tall horse, nodded and said, "Yes."
The lieutenant general was startled, "What if you are surrounded by the prince's mansion and you are wearing small shoes?"
"Why are you panicking? We are under military orders, so we can't blame our side. The Dali Temple is standing in front of us, and we will obey orders." Xiaowei Wang said firmly.
"That's right." The deputy general breathed a sigh of relief, "This case looks really big. Do you know the head of the Dali Temple? It doesn't look as old as my nephew."
"I don't know, but now I'm going to get to know each other." Captain Wang nodded, "So young, with three leaves on his cuffs, there must be a boss covering him.
In the future, let me put my eyes on it better, and do whatever he asks us to do, don't have any doubts. "
"Understood." The lieutenant general nodded, no longer asked any further questions, but just looked at Yu Gan in front of him, his eyes were full of envy.
You are so powerful at such a young age, how can you still get it in the future?
Not only the Forbidden Army, Du Hui and the others in Dali Temple were also lamenting Yu Gan's promotion speed.
When Yu Gan and the others were rushing towards King Zhao's Mansion, they were in the Prime Minister's Mansion on the other side.
Zhang Tingyu was sitting in the study reading the booklet, butler Deng came in with a bowl of snacks and put the food in front of Zhang Tingyu.
"Master, I need to report two things to you." Butler Deng said.
"Hmm." Zhang Tingyu put down the booklet in his hand, picked up the small bowl, and began to eat in small bites.
Deng Guanjia said, "Dali Temple ordered the forbidden army to surround Cui Zhongcheng's mansion, and searched the mansion upside down."
"The team led by Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan?" Zhang Tingyu asked.
"Yes." Steward Deng continued, "It seems that nothing was found in the end, and now they are walking in the direction of Prince Zhao's Mansion."
"Prince Zhao's Mansion?" Zhang Tingyu narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "It must be His Majesty's consent to be able to encircle King Zhao's Mansion. From this point of view, Prince Qin's Mansion will be encircled later?"
"My lord, that's why I'm worried. Will they surround our Prime Minister's Mansion by the way?" Steward Deng hesitated.
"Surround it." Zhang Tingyu said lightly.
Steward Deng nodded, and continued, "The second thing is that His Majesty will kill in the palace in the morning."
"Huh?" Zhang Tingyu put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked up at Butler Deng.
"In the morning, Your Majesty invites Gu Qingyuan, Yu Gan, and Gongsun Yan to enter the palace. It should be to report the case. Then His Majesty personally interrogated. All the relevant people who were in charge of examining the beautiful women were cut off."
Zhang Tingyu smiled softly, "From this point of view, Miao Cairen's matter is indeed groundless. Otherwise, His Majesty would not be so harsh, let alone allow Dali Temple to encircle the Prince's mansion when the matter is not yet clear." .
Did you find out when and where Miao Cairen was pregnant? "
"I don't know about this, but it looks like it hasn't been found out. The magician who was in charge of the final body check committed suicide. The clue seems to be broken there." Deng Butler replied.
Zhang Tingyu pressed the table lightly, obviously, he did not expect that this kind of trouble would happen to Miao Cairen.Finally, he said, "How far is Yu Gan and the others from Zhao Wang's Mansion now? Can you rush there before them?"
"Well, it's absolutely fine." Butler Deng nodded.
"How about this, you send that blood witch's body to King Zhao's mansion." Zhang Tingyu said directly.
"Yes." Butler Deng didn't ask the reason, but just accepted the order.
"Be careful, don't leave any clues, and deal with it cleanly. Those people in Qin Tianjian have very sharp noses." Zhang Tingyu instructed.
"It's my master, I will be careful, my skills cannot be found out by the Qin Tianjian." Deng Butler said confidently.
"Go." Zhang Tingyu said softly.
Steward Deng took the order to retreat, and Zhang Tingyu was in no mood to read the booklet. He looked out of the window peacefully, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.
At this time, a scholar in green shirt suddenly walked in from the door.
He looks in his early forties, wears a lun scarf on his head, has an elegant face, a medium build, and a smile on his mouth.
Although the clothes are simple, the temperament of a scholar overflows.
He sat directly opposite Zhang Tingyu majestically, looking at him calmly and powerfully.
"Zhang Xiang, let's talk."
"The way is different." Zhang Tingyu shook his head lightly, "Don't enter the Prime Minister's house again, you will die."
Regarding Zhang Tingyu's words, the scribe didn't seem to care at all, just said, "If Zhang Xiang wanted to kill me, he wouldn't let me go before, and he was willing to listen to mere words.
He will not agree to my request and order someone to send the blood witch's body to Zhao Wang's mansion. "
Zhang Tingyu said indifferently, "Are people in Nanyang so arrogant?"
"Zhang Xiang joked, this is not arrogance, this is trust." The scribe corrected Zhang Tingyu's wording, and continued, "This time I want to apologize to Zhang Xiang.
About Liu Zisi. "
"Why did you attack him?" Zhang Tingyu asked very calmly.
"I just wanted to see Zhang Xiang's reaction. Now that Blood Witch is dead, so I came here." The scribe laughed.
Zhang Tingyu remained silent, still looking indifferent.
The scribe then continued, "Liu Zisi is not dead, the one who died was a substitute replaced by the secret technique of Southern Border."
"Huh?" Zhang Tingyu looked straight at the other party.
The scribe continued to explain, "Mr. Liu Zisi has gone to Nanyang, and he agreed with his own will. He wanted to say goodbye to Prime Minister Zhang at that time.
We refused, so we left a letter to Zhang Xiang. "
As he spoke, the scribe took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table.Zhang Tingyu glanced at the envelope, instead of picking it up immediately, he asked, "Why not let me go."
"Because I wanted to see what would happen to Zhang Xiang if Liu Zisi died at the hands of the blood witch." The scribe smiled lightly, "Obviously. Zhang Xiang killed the blood witch without hesitation.
Let's draw an end to our shallow communication relationship.Our lord is very satisfied with this.Because this more fully explains, Zhang Xiang your idea.
Liu Zisi was born in poverty, and studied sage books hard since he was a child. Zhang Xiang actually understood what he wanted.Because that is also what Zhang Xiang you want.
That's why, Zhang Xiang, you and Liu Zisi became close friends.In this huge city of Tai'an, they are each other's confidantes. ,
The same is true of our lord, he also values Zhang Xiang and Mr. Liu's concept of great harmony in the world. Only by having more good officials like you, Zhang Xiang, who cares about the common people, can such a concept be realized.
And our lord will do this, and we have always operated for it. "
Zhang Tingyu said lightly, "This old man is arrogant and extravagant,"
"I don't believe these appearances, and Prime Minister Zhang doesn't have to say that." The scribe explained seriously, "Our prince was born with mud legs.
A soldier who climbed up from the bottom.Recover Nanyang and resist the power of a country in southern Xinjiang with the power of one place.Guarding the border will protect the peace of the southern border of Daqi.
Zhang Xiang must also know about my prince's deeds.In Tai'an, everyone said that the people of Nanyang only knew the King of Nanyang, not the Son of Heaven.
But no one thought of the reason.
Because the people of Nanyang now have enough to eat, have farms, and have a family to live in. They are free from wars and live and work in peace and contentment.All of this is our prince's painstaking efforts for decades.
I think, Zhang Xiang, you also know this, that's why you didn't refuse when I contacted you before.Because Zhang Xiang, you are essentially the same kind of person as our prince.
People who are dedicated to the people.
Speaking of this point, Zhang Xiang is the same as our prince, both started at the end of Qingping.They also have the same belief that they should become bosom friends. "
Zhang Tingyu was noncommittal, and just made peace, "I have sent the corpse of the blood witch to Zhao Wangfu, and the matter has nothing to do with me in the future, including Nanyang King.
The things of the past are cleared up, and there will be no relationship in the future. "
But the scribe bowed directly and said, "My lord, I'm here to invite Prime Minister Zhang."
"What's the matter?"
"On behalf of the prince, I invite Mr. Zhang to enter Nanyang."
Zhang Tingyu sneered, "I am an extremely human minister, I have already had a place here in Tai'an, both life and power are superior.
Why go to Nanyang Barrens?
The salary of eating the king is a matter of loyalty to the king.And why did I go to Nanyang as a deacon?
I helped you before to repay the kindness, but now that the kindness is over, it should end. "
"I want Zhang to meet." The scribes were not annoyed, and continued, "Da Qi has been in a serious illness for thousands of years. Let's not mention the excessive taxation in the country, and the rampant officials.
The national policy of Daqi is mainly based on the honorable class, the aristocratic families occupy all the resources, and the people below are lingering on their last days.Now the country is not the country.Most states and counties far away from Tai'an are self-reliant.
The laws within it are mainly based on the wishes of the local nobles, and the people below are even more inhumane.I traveled all the way from Nanyang, and I was starving to death.How can such a great Qi be called the Shangren Kingdom?
The emperor of Daqi lived in Tai'an, followed the so-called ancestral precepts, ignored the people of the world, and still focused on protecting the noble class.What is the reason why such a great Qi should continue to be assisted by Zhang Xiang? "
"Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch." Zhang Tingyu said indifferently, "Since ascension to the throne, taxes have been reduced by two levels."
The scribe smiled dismissively, "It's just a show. Zhang Xiang must have known in his heart that when the policy falls to the bottom, the tax is lowered for the gentry and local tyrants, and the tax for the common people is harsh."
Zhang Tingyu was silent for a while, and finally said, "This is not the reason why you Nanyang stirred up trouble in Tai'an."
The scribe laughed and said, "Actually, it's not a disturbance, my lord simply wants Xiang Zhang to see clearly the so-called Great Qi court.
Which of those civil servant groups who only think about their own interests wants to use the Qinyuan case to make a big fuss?
If the blood witch is found as a clue, it should be our prince, but who will take the initiative to uncover this point and this direction?
Even Lord Aguli, the king of Baili in the southern border, came to Zhaixing Tower to fight the national teacher in person, but still no one took the initiative to mention my prince.
Civil servants did not dare, military generals did not dare, and the Emperor of Great Qi did not dare either.As the hub of Daqi, but being so selfish and cowardly, how can it benefit the country's policy?
It's nothing more than a group of bureaucrats who rely on sucking the people of Daqi.He was very angry, is it necessary to save such a Daqi? "
"So, you chose Liu Zisi not only because you want him to escape to Nanyang smoothly, but also because you want to tie this old man on your boat?" Zhang Tingyu turned around and asked another question.
The scribe said frankly, "King Qin, King Zhao, and Cui Yuan are just muddying the waters. Zhang Xiang, you are indeed doing that. You just want to tie Zhang Xiang to our Nanyang with Liu Zisi.
Although the means are shameless, we will not do this.The prince said, even if Zhang Xiang doesn't go to Nanyang, he will respect your choice.
No matter where a good official like you stays, he shouldn't be innocent by such low-handed means.Zhang Xiangruo wanted to go to Nanyang, so the matter of Liu Zisi was naturally indifferent.
If you don't want to go, we will have a way to testify for Zhang Xiang's innocence.
The main thing about Liu Zisi was to let him get away and go to Nanyang smoothly. "
Zhang Tingyu was silent for a while, and finally said, "Liu Zisi hasn't done anything yet, why did His Majesty know first?"
"This is beyond our expectations, but it doesn't matter, it's normal for the emperor to have capable people around him." The scribe replied indifferently.
"You guys were also responsible for Miao Cairen?" Zhang Tingyu continued to ask.
"Ms. Zhang asked so many questions, did he agree to go to Nanyang?" the scribe replied.
"Answer this question." Zhang Tingyu just continued to ask.
"We did it." The scribe admitted directly and generously.
Zhang Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, "The rumors about Miao Cairen outside are also true?"
The scribe smiled lightly, "That's true. Miao Cairen's family is actually from Nanyang. Miao Cairen can be regarded as a maidservant trained by the prince. This time she was asked to do it directly because she wanted to do one thing."
"what's up?"
The scribe continued to explain, "Half a year ago, our prince went to Jiangnan, and Miao Cairen also went to Jiangnan. The fetus in the womb was indeed the prince's, and it was aborted later."
Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu frowned slightly.
The scribe came again slowly, "We have left enough clues in the south of the Yangtze River. Presumably, Dali Temple should send back the news soon to confirm this matter."
"You want to spread this matter as rumors when the news comes?" Zhang Tingyu said.
"Zhang Xiang is great, indeed." The scribe nodded approvingly.
Zhang Tingyu sneered, "The majestic king of Nanyang even poisoned his flesh and blood by doing such a trick, and the tiger's poison doesn't even kill his offspring."
The scribe shook his head shallowly, and said, "Ms. Zhang misunderstood, mainly because of two points. First, Mr. Zhang, you said that the prince is torturing his flesh and blood, but it is not the case.
This is for a big plan, and you must know that the prince is only one son.After the birth of the prince's first son, he decided that there was only one young master in Nanyang.
Only in this way can we maximize the benefits of Nanyang and the people of Nanyang. "
After finishing speaking, the scholar paused for a moment before continuing, "Secondly, this is not a low-level trick. The emperor has always wanted to cut down the vassal, and we in Nanyang will give the emperor an excuse.
The Qinyuan case, the assassination case, and the case of Jia Miao Cairen.It must be enough.
Since you want to cut down the feudal clan, you should be bold. It is unrealistic to take Daqi's national power slowly, so we will help His Majesty to promote his determination to cut down the feudal clan.
Help His Majesty strengthen the idea of cutting the feudal clan.If Daqi does not cut down the vassals, how will the fate of the country start? "
Zhang Tingyu looked indifferent, "The King of Nanyang was planning this matter half a year ago?"
"That's not true." The scribe shook his head with a smile, "I buried it casually, but chose to dig it out at this point."
Zhang Tingyu remained indifferent and did not respond.
The scribe continued with a smile, "When Zhang Xiang sent the body to the Zhao Palace, I also sent another Blood Witch's body to the Qin Palace.
These two blood witches left a lot of "obscure" clues, and finally the clues will gather with me.I also have the status of a counselor of the King of Nanyang, so the matter is straightforward.
Prince Zhao's Mansion and Prince Qin's Mansion are naturally in the water, Mr. Zhang, you will rest easy and you will not be found.This is what our lord means. "
Zhang Tingyu ignored the other party's weasel-like mercy, just took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "So you are stirring up trouble in Tai'an, and the 30 soldiers on the border of Bingzhou are all for this so-called cutting down the feudal clan?
Nanyang wants to stand on his own right now? "
The scribe nodded generously, "It's time for my prince to own the land of the three states, why don't we just put it on the bright side, and everyone will be happy.
If the emperor wants to cut down the vassal, we are forced to stand on our own. This is also human nature. "
Zhang Tingyu sneered, "This is what the king of Nanyang keeps saying for the sake of the people? Once Nanyang becomes self-reliant, all states and counties will follow suit.
Daqi fell apart, and the world was in chaos. This is for the sake of the people. "
"Zhang Xiang, it will be a matter of time before the Great Qi collapses. Speeding up this process will be good for the world." The scribe said solemnly, "I think you, Zhang Xiang, understand this truth better than I do.
What has Daqi become in these years.
When the first emperor was in power, Zhang Xiang went to the local government and led many natural disasters.I don't need to go into too much detail about the virtues of the imperial court and local officials at that time.
Zhang Xiang's eyes could see more clearly than anyone else, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a purgatory on earth.
Don't talk about the past, Zhang Xiang, you say that today's son is a benevolent king.Two years ago, there was a major epidemic in Yunzhou.It is the benevolent king you mentioned who ordered the massacre of the city. 30 people were murdered on the spot. Is this what you call a benevolent monarch? "
Zhang Tingyu was silent for a long while, and said leisurely, "You don't understand. The truth is not like this, and the whole country is full of eggs, so this campaign cannot be spread."
"So, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of national power." The scribe said lightly, "If the King of Nanyang was here, this would not be the case. Any strong man who cuts off his arms is just an excuse for incompetence."
"The king of Nanyang is very ambitious. Even if he is in power, he will become another great Qi sooner or later." Zhang Xiang shook his head and said, "Your words are mostly fallacies, and I can't convince the old man."
The scribe fell silent, "That's all for now, right and wrong, Zhang Xiang can judge for himself."
"Are you not afraid that the old man will tell His Majesty?" Zhang Tingyu smiled.
"It doesn't matter." The scribe smiled lightly, "Your Majesty should know all about these things. This is our prince's aboveboard idea.
It's just that the process is a bit tortuous, so that people can "really" find us, otherwise it would be too fake. "
"Although you are indeed shameless about Miao Cairen, you don't really think that these things will make His Majesty angry? Or make His Majesty want to kill Nanyang King?" Zhang Tingyu asked with narrowed eyes.
"It's okay if you don't, but it's just the price of two blood witches." The scribe continued, "And it shows that His Majesty is a great man, just to remind Nanyang. There are many ways."
"Let's think about it slowly, Mr. Zhang, and come back to bother me if there is a chance."
Saying this, the scribe left happily.Zhang Tingyu didn't make a sound to stop him.
The matter has become clear, everything is just Nanyang King stirring up the water behind.
He wanted to arouse the dissatisfaction of the court and the emperor with Nanyang at the same time, and the simple method complicated the operation.Let the emperor find out, but it is not so easy to find out.
The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to show the world.
If the emperor used this reason to embarrass Nanyang, the latter could be said to be Taian deliberately trying to get rid of Nanyang King, a great hero.By that time, being self-reliant directly will not be criticized by too many people.
If this reason is not used, the emperor will be looked down upon by everyone.Because of Nanyang King's decision, this matter will probably spread to the world.
When the time comes, rumors will spread, and the emperor's concubine will be pregnant by a vassal king, but she will not say a word.This is undoubtedly an absolute challenge to Tianjia's prestige.
Seeing this, the other vassal kings couldn't figure out how to move their minds.
It's a shameless conspiracy, but it works.
Zhang Tingyu didn't intend to make a statement, or make a suggestion.He wanted to see how the Son of Heaven would handle this matter.
As the scribe just said. Dedicated to Daqi for 30 years, this old man has long been disappointed with the absolute darkness in it, and it is definitely not something that he, a civil servant, can change.
It seems that such a big Qi really has no expectations.
But, can you really stand up after breaking?
If not, it will only push the people in hell to a deeper hell.
Zhang Tingyu picked up the envelope on the table and opened it. There was a piece of rice paper inside, and there were a few simple words on the paper:
If two years pass by, the students are extremely grateful for the teacher's teaching.
Now, the students will go to Nanyang to have a look and see.See if there are any scenes in Nanyang that I have talked with the teacher, and take a look for the teacher carefully.
Students are ashamed to have a lot of words in their hearts but cannot speak face to face.
Zisi stays.
Zhang Tingyu looked at the simple letter paper with plain words, finally put it down gently, and looked up at the window.
There is sunshine, there are branches, there is a breeze, the wind is sunny, bright and clear.
~~
Zhao Wangfu.
This place is located in the depths of the inner city, occupying an extremely large area, and the decoration is mainly in black tones, with a low luxury atmosphere.
Zhao Wang Li Wan was the same generation as Li Xun. After Li Xun ascended the throne, he did not go to his own fief, but stayed in Zhao Wangfu in Tai'an.
He is different from Li Yan. After all, the latter is the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, and he can be properly active in the court no matter in terms of emotional status, becoming the leader of the clan,
He Li Wan is different, his identity is sensitive after all.Therefore, he has always kept a low profile, never participated in any government affairs, lived in seclusion every day, and cultivated his body and mind.
The most is to go out to parties with friends, and he is a happy king of idle clouds and wild cranes.The property in the mansion is also managed by his son-in-law, and he basically doesn't know anything about it.
When Yu Gan arrived here, he didn't act arrogantly, but got off his horse and knocked on the door himself.
Soon, a man with the appearance of a housekeeper poked his head out.
"Please tell the King of Zhao, and say that Dali Temple is investigating the case according to the order." Yu Gan smiled lightly.
The butler looked at the dark and dark man behind Yu Gan, and said politely, "My lord, wait a moment, the prince is not at home, I will let the son out first, and my lord will wait a moment."
"Yeah." Yu Gan nodded lightly.
Soon, there was movement in the mansion, and the middle door of Wang's mansion opened wide.
A man in his late thirties walked out first, with delicate facial features and wearing a simple green shirt, but judging from his temperament, he was by no means an ordinary person.
Followed by two young men, Li Bi and Li Xuan.
The two of them, Yu Gan, knew each other naturally. Leaving Li Wei aside, Yu Gan had dealt with him a lot.
Li Bi Yugan still had a deep impression, and he had invited himself once before because of Tianwuxuan.
The three brothers went into battle together, and they all looked good.There is one thing to say, the genes of the Daqi royal family are really good.
"I don't know why you came to Dali Temple?" The leading man in green shirt asked Yu Gan with a slight smile.
"What's your name, Young Master?" Yu Gan also bowed to him and asked.
The other party said softly, "Li Bing, the son of Prince Zhao."
"I have met His Royal Highness." Yu Gan's smile instantly hung on his face, "No wonder Your Highness, we are investigating the case by order. There has been no major progress in the Qinyuan case.
The blood witch couldn't be found for a long time, and His Majesty's will was there again.Our Dali Temple had no choice but to use the stupid method of checking the government.
After all, it is not easy for Zhao Wangfu to shirk the matter of Tianwuxuan Wuji Xiaorou.So we thought about checking the palace first.
Of course, I personally know the Third Highness and the Second Highness.Both of them are modest gentlemen, and I also believe that this matter has nothing to do with the palace.
But the procedures that should be followed still have to be followed. After the investigation is all right, it just happens to be able to restore the innocence of the Wangfu.I wonder if His Royal Highness can understand one or two? "
Li Bing was not in a hurry to answer Yu Gan's question, but turned his head to look at Li Xuan and Li Bi, and said, "Do you know this lord?"
"I know." Li Xuan smiled, "Deacon Yu and I should be called Director Yu now. Director Yu and I are good friends."
"His Royal Highness praised you." Yu Gan hurriedly bowed with a smile.
"Since that is the case, Director Yu bears the emperor's order, Zhao Wangfu should cooperate and ask Dali Temple to investigate." Li Bing turned his body sideways and said with a faint smile.
"Your Highness, don't you need to wait for the prince to come back?" Yu Gan asked.
"No, my father is here to give this answer. The Zhao Palace will fully cooperate with His Majesty's will." Li Bing replied.
"Then interrupt." Yu Gan nodded, then turned his head and gave the same order to the people behind him just now at the Cui Mansion.
But I added one more sentence, let them not damage the things in the house.
After finishing speaking, Yu Gan stepped aside and retreated to the side of the aunt who had been standing quietly on the left.The people below began to act one after another.
The Weifu of the Weifu, those who went in to search went in and searched, it looked lively.
The guards in the palace did not dare to stop them at all, and let the people from Dali Temple and Qin Tianjian check.The three of Li Bing waited outside the gate of the mansion, watching the movement in the mansion quietly.
One street ahead of Prince Zhao's Mansion, inside Princess Wen'an's Mansion.
In a four-story pavilion in the mansion, Li Nianxiang and Li Jian were leaning on the railing and looking towards the direction of Prince Zhao's mansion.
When Yu Gan's team came here just now, the commotion caused naturally attracted the attention of many people, most of them were clan residences.
The sudden appearance of the brigade of imperial guards here will naturally make people alert.
Li Nianxiang had no interest in this kind of thing, but today Li Jian was a guest, and then his subordinates came to report that Yu Gan was leading the team.
This is not a coincidence, the princess's interest came instantly.
(End of this chapter)
As soon as Lieutenant Wang's voice fell, the imperial army under him split up and dispersed in an orderly manner, their steps were orderly and steady, and the metal sounds from the armor on their bodies were also uniform, showing high quality.
Everyone is waiting here to be surrounded by the imperial army.The gate of Cui's mansion was half open, and some guards and servants didn't know why, and they didn't dare to make a sound to obstruct anything, they just watched worriedly.
The gates of the surrounding mansions were all closed, and the original guards at the mansion gates also took them back.
This street was originally a gathering place for dignitaries and dignitaries in Tai'an. The Dali Temple and the Forbidden Army teamed up to make such a big battle, which made many people wonder what happened to the Cui Mansion.
Coincidentally, they were all peeping in the dark, wanting to see what happened.
The most important thing above the court is the timeliness of information. This matter of Cui Yuan must be fully understood at the first time, and it is something that all parties must pay attention to.
Especially with Cui Yuan, the civil servants of the Wei University Scholars group, they couldn't help being surprised and concerned when they saw this situation.
With Yu Gan's current strength, he can naturally feel the focused attention of others, so he doesn't care.Let those other mansions stare at him.
With my current status, sooner or later I have to deal with a large number of officials.
"Old Ji, this boy Yu Gan has a good momentum now, very stable." On the left side, Du Hui lightly touched Ji Cheng's arm.
Ji Cheng glanced at Du Hui, and said as usual, "Call me Director Yu, I have as many leaves on my cuffs as you. Why do you call me a boy?"
Du Hui's cheeks twitched violently twice, remembering that when he first met Yu Gan, the other party looked at him very reservedly and obediently.
Now it flies directly into the sky, which is too fast.
It is common for Dali Temple to change positions, and it is not uncommon for subordinates to change at the same level.But we all do this kind of thing step by step, and we have enough time to prepare in our hearts.
But Yu Gan didn't play his cards according to the routine at all, he jumped to the next level and became a celebrity under Bai Shaoqing.
In terms of real status, he is higher than Du Hui.
It is really that 20 years of hard work is not as good as someone else's two months.The middle-aged Du Hui still spoke with a little worry.
Ji Cheng also brought two people from Ding Yousi, one was Yan Sheng and the other was Wu Wancai.It stands to reason that these two old fritters seldom attend work.
But there is no way, after Yu Gan and Shi Du left, most of Ding Yousi's new force was directly cut off, and it will take some time for the newcomers to be included.
Therefore, Ding Yousi's temporary life is still difficult.Those old fritters are not easy to fish, so they can only follow along.
At the moment, Yan Sheng, who knows everything, is having a heated fight with other deacons of Dingbu, and the main topic is Yu Gan.
The main reason is that Yan Sheng is bragging, telling the glorious history of how he "educated" Yu Gan back then.
This old man in his 30s who loves to eat melon seeds has no hobbies, and his mouth is so good that he can blow it.
"Cui Yuan's identity is here after all, what is the reason for making such a big move now?" Ji Cheng asked.
"Are you aware of the Qinyuan case?" Du Hui asked back.
"Well, I know a little bit." Ji Cheng nodded.He has not been directly involved in this case, but has only heard about it, and the specific circumstances are not very clear.
Not to mention the information that Qintian inspected.
Du Hui succinctly told Ji Cheng all the information he knew, and he knew it well, after all, he was Gongsun Yan's confidant.
After listening, Ji Cheng squinted his eyes and asked, "So Yu Gan is leading two such big cases right after he took office?"
"Well, that's why we say that young people are like tigers. They are courageous enough to be responsible for such cases," Du Hui sighed, his tone full of praise for Yu Gan's courage.
Ji Cheng pondered, looking at Yu Gan's back, squinting his eyes.He naturally knew what these two cases meant.
With the imperial army settling down, the front of the mansion was finally much wider, the door of Cui's mansion was opened directly, and a clear and hale figure walked out.
It was Cui Yuan, with a very calm expression, he looked around for a while, and finally fell on Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan.
As the top leader of Yushitai, Cui Yuan obviously has seen the world, and he was not flustered by the current change, but said to Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan with a calm voice.
"What are Director Yu and Minister Gongsun doing this time?"
Yu Gan turned over and walked towards Cui Yuan with a smile on his face, cupping his fists and saying, "Cui Zhongcheng, please cooperate."
After reaching Cui Yuan's side, Yu Gan leaned forward a little and said in a voice that only each other could hear, "Cui Zhongcheng, Your Majesty is pressing hard.
The blood witch's whereabouts are now unknown, and our Dali Temple has no choice but to make a bad move.After all, your government is suspicious, and we must investigate thoroughly.
This is an explanation to His Majesty, and it is actually an explanation to you, Cui Zhongcheng.
Once it is verified that there is no problem with the closure of the government this time, the suspicion of your government will be greatly reduced.Therefore, please cooperate with Cui Zhongcheng. "
"Since it is a sacred order, I will naturally obey it." Cui Zhongcheng took two steps back and bowed in the direction of the palace. "Cui has acted upright and has a clear conscience, but Director Yu should investigate thoroughly."
"Thank you, Master Cui, for your cooperation," Yu Gan laughed, and then coldness instantly appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look at the people in Qin Tianjian and Dali Temple below, and said loudly.
"The purpose of raiding Cui's mansion this time is to find traces of the blood witch. Everyone enters the mansion, and no corner is allowed to be let go of the hidden pavilion. A thorough investigation of Cui's mansion is required.
The people of Qin Tianjian are responsible for carefully checking all the traces left by the blood witch.The people at Dali Temple took care of all the details.
If you encounter suspicious people or things, control and report them immediately, and in case of emergency, you can act first and act later.Don't have any scruples.Set off. "
After finishing speaking, Yu Gan turned his body sideways, except for Shinichi, Ji Cheng and Du Hui who stayed behind, and the rest of the people filed into the mansion.
The specific details need to be discussed and taken care of by Qin Tianjian and the leader of Dali Temple.These two forces are not as tense as they are with Monster Hunting Hall.
The cooperation between Dali Temple and Qin Tianjian has always been frequent, and the exchanges are very close, so they usually get along very happily.
"Master Cui, please forgive our difficulties in Dali Temple." Yu Gan smiled again and looked at Cui Yuan.
The latter looked at Yu Gan who had changed his face quickly as usual, nodded slightly, and stayed at the gate of the mansion, not going in, letting others go over the mansion.
Only then did Yu Gan go down, first he bowed to Zhenyi and said, "Master Daoist, I didn't expect you to lead the team this time, everything is up to Daoist Master."
Shinichi became a Taoist inspector, and said with a smile, "Director Yu, you are being polite. I did not congratulate Director Yu for his promotion immediately. Please don't blame me."
"The Daoist is polite."
"Director Yu, don't worry, I already know the breath of the blood witch, and I won't miss anything." Shinichi finally promised.
"So, I'm relieved." Yu Gan smiled, then turned his head to look at Du Hui and Ji Cheng, and said with a smile, "Boss, Minister Du, I'm sorry."
Regarding Yu Gan's title, Ji Cheng accepted it frankly and nodded, "I will cooperate with Zhen Daochang."
But Du Hui laughed and said, "Boy, I won't dare to call you a boy in the future. Just now your former boss specifically criticized me. I'm going to call you Director Yu instead."
Yu Gan smiled dumbly and remained silent.
"Okay, don't talk about it, I'm going to get more developed in the future, and I want to cover me." Du Hui made a joke at the end, and went to the mansion with Ji Cheng to do business.
Shinichi also followed in.The work inside needs to be coordinated and distributed by the three of them.
There is no specific arrangement for the remaining work.
Ji Cheng and Du Hui have much more experience than his sons in such trivial matters as inspections, so there is nothing to worry about.
If you are the person in charge, you must have the image of a leader.Just wait outside and wait for the result.
The door was quiet again, Yu Gan walked back to Gongsunyan's side, and asked in a low voice, "Minister, can I do it?"
"Moderate, but nothing serious, just wait." Gongsun Yan returned lightly.
"Minister, I'm only 19 years old, can't you praise me more?" Yu Gan muttered in a low voice.
Gongsunyan raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Gan. Although she didn't speak, her eyes were enough. The latter shut up and silently waited for the results in the courtyard.
At this time, Cui Yuan, who was above the steps, took the initiative to come down and came to Yu Gan and the other two.
"Master Cui, what's the matter?" Yu Gan asked.
"I would like to ask Director Yu, should the government inspect only my Cui residence, or Prince Qin's residence as well?" Cui Yuan asked a very abrupt question.
Yu Gan was thinking of words, he couldn't tell others that if you don't have Qin Wangdao, you will pick on you first.
Gongsun Yan on the right directly took over the conversation, "Check."
Cui Yuan turned his gaze back, looking at the scene of chickens flying around in the mansion expressionlessly, his eyes were calm.
"Master Cui, everyone may be a little rude, please don't mind, it's all for His Majesty." Yu Gan said aloud.
Cui Yuan didn't answer, just smiled lightly, indicating that he understood.
After half an hour, people from the mansion came out one after another.
"Daozhang, how is it?" Yu Gan asked directly.
Shinichi shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with Master Cui's house, at least apart from that other courtyard, I haven't found any traces of blood witches living here."
"Lord Cui, I have breached several secret rooms in the mansion. There is a reason for this, so please understand." Du Hui cupped his fists and explained to Cui Yuan, "However, don't worry, let's look through anything."
After all, this time it's just a blood witch investigation, not Zha Cuiyuan himself. Dali Temple's bottom line is still very good.
Cui Yuan, as the head of Yushitai, has many things to show face, otherwise he will make you feel sick at Dali Temple in the court, and he will feel uncomfortable.
Those who come out to hang out, as long as there is no enmity, they will carry each other in flowery sedan chairs, and it is impossible to be too ruthless without an absolute will.
"It doesn't matter." Cui Yuan nodded and said, "As long as the truth can be found out, this trivial matter is fine."
"Lord Cui, there has been a lot of trouble in the siege this time. I now believe that Master Cui is innocent, but after all, there have been blood witches in your mansion, and the suspicion cannot be completely ruled out.
If there is any need for Master Cui's help in the future, I will bother you again. "Yu Gan finally bowed and said.
"It should be like this." Cui Yuan nodded, flicked his sleeves lightly, turned and went back to the house.
The Forbidden Army outside the mansion also withdrew back under the command of Captain Wang, and stood in line.
"Minister, next, are you really going to the palace?" Yu Gan asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty's meaning." Gongsun Yan nodded.
"Okay, then go to King Qin's Mansion or King Zhao's Mansion first?" Yu Gan asked again.
"You are in charge, you decide." Gongsun Yan did not give an answer.
Yu Gan got on his horse and said loudly to the people behind him, "Go to Prince Zhao's Mansion."
Gongsun Yan also got on the horse and walked side by side with Yu Gan. The horse walked at a normal pace, but the speed was very slow.
The people in the back lined up and followed in unison. A huge team walked towards Zhao Wang's mansion on the wide streets of the inner city.
"Boss, what do you mean, are we going to encircle Prince Zhao's Mansion?" A lieutenant behind Captain Wang asked in a low voice.
The former looked at Yu Gan who was riding on the tall horse, nodded and said, "Yes."
The lieutenant general was startled, "What if you are surrounded by the prince's mansion and you are wearing small shoes?"
"Why are you panicking? We are under military orders, so we can't blame our side. The Dali Temple is standing in front of us, and we will obey orders." Xiaowei Wang said firmly.
"That's right." The deputy general breathed a sigh of relief, "This case looks really big. Do you know the head of the Dali Temple? It doesn't look as old as my nephew."
"I don't know, but now I'm going to get to know each other." Captain Wang nodded, "So young, with three leaves on his cuffs, there must be a boss covering him.
In the future, let me put my eyes on it better, and do whatever he asks us to do, don't have any doubts. "
"Understood." The lieutenant general nodded, no longer asked any further questions, but just looked at Yu Gan in front of him, his eyes were full of envy.
You are so powerful at such a young age, how can you still get it in the future?
Not only the Forbidden Army, Du Hui and the others in Dali Temple were also lamenting Yu Gan's promotion speed.
When Yu Gan and the others were rushing towards King Zhao's Mansion, they were in the Prime Minister's Mansion on the other side.
Zhang Tingyu was sitting in the study reading the booklet, butler Deng came in with a bowl of snacks and put the food in front of Zhang Tingyu.
"Master, I need to report two things to you." Butler Deng said.
"Hmm." Zhang Tingyu put down the booklet in his hand, picked up the small bowl, and began to eat in small bites.
Deng Guanjia said, "Dali Temple ordered the forbidden army to surround Cui Zhongcheng's mansion, and searched the mansion upside down."
"The team led by Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan?" Zhang Tingyu asked.
"Yes." Steward Deng continued, "It seems that nothing was found in the end, and now they are walking in the direction of Prince Zhao's Mansion."
"Prince Zhao's Mansion?" Zhang Tingyu narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "It must be His Majesty's consent to be able to encircle King Zhao's Mansion. From this point of view, Prince Qin's Mansion will be encircled later?"
"My lord, that's why I'm worried. Will they surround our Prime Minister's Mansion by the way?" Steward Deng hesitated.
"Surround it." Zhang Tingyu said lightly.
Steward Deng nodded, and continued, "The second thing is that His Majesty will kill in the palace in the morning."
"Huh?" Zhang Tingyu put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked up at Butler Deng.
"In the morning, Your Majesty invites Gu Qingyuan, Yu Gan, and Gongsun Yan to enter the palace. It should be to report the case. Then His Majesty personally interrogated. All the relevant people who were in charge of examining the beautiful women were cut off."
Zhang Tingyu smiled softly, "From this point of view, Miao Cairen's matter is indeed groundless. Otherwise, His Majesty would not be so harsh, let alone allow Dali Temple to encircle the Prince's mansion when the matter is not yet clear." .
Did you find out when and where Miao Cairen was pregnant? "
"I don't know about this, but it looks like it hasn't been found out. The magician who was in charge of the final body check committed suicide. The clue seems to be broken there." Deng Butler replied.
Zhang Tingyu pressed the table lightly, obviously, he did not expect that this kind of trouble would happen to Miao Cairen.Finally, he said, "How far is Yu Gan and the others from Zhao Wang's Mansion now? Can you rush there before them?"
"Well, it's absolutely fine." Butler Deng nodded.
"How about this, you send that blood witch's body to King Zhao's mansion." Zhang Tingyu said directly.
"Yes." Butler Deng didn't ask the reason, but just accepted the order.
"Be careful, don't leave any clues, and deal with it cleanly. Those people in Qin Tianjian have very sharp noses." Zhang Tingyu instructed.
"It's my master, I will be careful, my skills cannot be found out by the Qin Tianjian." Deng Butler said confidently.
"Go." Zhang Tingyu said softly.
Steward Deng took the order to retreat, and Zhang Tingyu was in no mood to read the booklet. He looked out of the window peacefully, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.
At this time, a scholar in green shirt suddenly walked in from the door.
He looks in his early forties, wears a lun scarf on his head, has an elegant face, a medium build, and a smile on his mouth.
Although the clothes are simple, the temperament of a scholar overflows.
He sat directly opposite Zhang Tingyu majestically, looking at him calmly and powerfully.
"Zhang Xiang, let's talk."
"The way is different." Zhang Tingyu shook his head lightly, "Don't enter the Prime Minister's house again, you will die."
Regarding Zhang Tingyu's words, the scribe didn't seem to care at all, just said, "If Zhang Xiang wanted to kill me, he wouldn't let me go before, and he was willing to listen to mere words.
He will not agree to my request and order someone to send the blood witch's body to Zhao Wang's mansion. "
Zhang Tingyu said indifferently, "Are people in Nanyang so arrogant?"
"Zhang Xiang joked, this is not arrogance, this is trust." The scribe corrected Zhang Tingyu's wording, and continued, "This time I want to apologize to Zhang Xiang.
About Liu Zisi. "
"Why did you attack him?" Zhang Tingyu asked very calmly.
"I just wanted to see Zhang Xiang's reaction. Now that Blood Witch is dead, so I came here." The scribe laughed.
Zhang Tingyu remained silent, still looking indifferent.
The scribe then continued, "Liu Zisi is not dead, the one who died was a substitute replaced by the secret technique of Southern Border."
"Huh?" Zhang Tingyu looked straight at the other party.
The scribe continued to explain, "Mr. Liu Zisi has gone to Nanyang, and he agreed with his own will. He wanted to say goodbye to Prime Minister Zhang at that time.
We refused, so we left a letter to Zhang Xiang. "
As he spoke, the scribe took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table.Zhang Tingyu glanced at the envelope, instead of picking it up immediately, he asked, "Why not let me go."
"Because I wanted to see what would happen to Zhang Xiang if Liu Zisi died at the hands of the blood witch." The scribe smiled lightly, "Obviously. Zhang Xiang killed the blood witch without hesitation.
Let's draw an end to our shallow communication relationship.Our lord is very satisfied with this.Because this more fully explains, Zhang Xiang your idea.
Liu Zisi was born in poverty, and studied sage books hard since he was a child. Zhang Xiang actually understood what he wanted.Because that is also what Zhang Xiang you want.
That's why, Zhang Xiang, you and Liu Zisi became close friends.In this huge city of Tai'an, they are each other's confidantes. ,
The same is true of our lord, he also values Zhang Xiang and Mr. Liu's concept of great harmony in the world. Only by having more good officials like you, Zhang Xiang, who cares about the common people, can such a concept be realized.
And our lord will do this, and we have always operated for it. "
Zhang Tingyu said lightly, "This old man is arrogant and extravagant,"
"I don't believe these appearances, and Prime Minister Zhang doesn't have to say that." The scribe explained seriously, "Our prince was born with mud legs.
A soldier who climbed up from the bottom.Recover Nanyang and resist the power of a country in southern Xinjiang with the power of one place.Guarding the border will protect the peace of the southern border of Daqi.
Zhang Xiang must also know about my prince's deeds.In Tai'an, everyone said that the people of Nanyang only knew the King of Nanyang, not the Son of Heaven.
But no one thought of the reason.
Because the people of Nanyang now have enough to eat, have farms, and have a family to live in. They are free from wars and live and work in peace and contentment.All of this is our prince's painstaking efforts for decades.
I think, Zhang Xiang, you also know this, that's why you didn't refuse when I contacted you before.Because Zhang Xiang, you are essentially the same kind of person as our prince.
People who are dedicated to the people.
Speaking of this point, Zhang Xiang is the same as our prince, both started at the end of Qingping.They also have the same belief that they should become bosom friends. "
Zhang Tingyu was noncommittal, and just made peace, "I have sent the corpse of the blood witch to Zhao Wangfu, and the matter has nothing to do with me in the future, including Nanyang King.
The things of the past are cleared up, and there will be no relationship in the future. "
But the scribe bowed directly and said, "My lord, I'm here to invite Prime Minister Zhang."
"What's the matter?"
"On behalf of the prince, I invite Mr. Zhang to enter Nanyang."
Zhang Tingyu sneered, "I am an extremely human minister, I have already had a place here in Tai'an, both life and power are superior.
Why go to Nanyang Barrens?
The salary of eating the king is a matter of loyalty to the king.And why did I go to Nanyang as a deacon?
I helped you before to repay the kindness, but now that the kindness is over, it should end. "
"I want Zhang to meet." The scribes were not annoyed, and continued, "Da Qi has been in a serious illness for thousands of years. Let's not mention the excessive taxation in the country, and the rampant officials.
The national policy of Daqi is mainly based on the honorable class, the aristocratic families occupy all the resources, and the people below are lingering on their last days.Now the country is not the country.Most states and counties far away from Tai'an are self-reliant.
The laws within it are mainly based on the wishes of the local nobles, and the people below are even more inhumane.I traveled all the way from Nanyang, and I was starving to death.How can such a great Qi be called the Shangren Kingdom?
The emperor of Daqi lived in Tai'an, followed the so-called ancestral precepts, ignored the people of the world, and still focused on protecting the noble class.What is the reason why such a great Qi should continue to be assisted by Zhang Xiang? "
"Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch." Zhang Tingyu said indifferently, "Since ascension to the throne, taxes have been reduced by two levels."
The scribe smiled dismissively, "It's just a show. Zhang Xiang must have known in his heart that when the policy falls to the bottom, the tax is lowered for the gentry and local tyrants, and the tax for the common people is harsh."
Zhang Tingyu was silent for a while, and finally said, "This is not the reason why you Nanyang stirred up trouble in Tai'an."
The scribe laughed and said, "Actually, it's not a disturbance, my lord simply wants Xiang Zhang to see clearly the so-called Great Qi court.
Which of those civil servant groups who only think about their own interests wants to use the Qinyuan case to make a big fuss?
If the blood witch is found as a clue, it should be our prince, but who will take the initiative to uncover this point and this direction?
Even Lord Aguli, the king of Baili in the southern border, came to Zhaixing Tower to fight the national teacher in person, but still no one took the initiative to mention my prince.
Civil servants did not dare, military generals did not dare, and the Emperor of Great Qi did not dare either.As the hub of Daqi, but being so selfish and cowardly, how can it benefit the country's policy?
It's nothing more than a group of bureaucrats who rely on sucking the people of Daqi.He was very angry, is it necessary to save such a Daqi? "
"So, you chose Liu Zisi not only because you want him to escape to Nanyang smoothly, but also because you want to tie this old man on your boat?" Zhang Tingyu turned around and asked another question.
The scribe said frankly, "King Qin, King Zhao, and Cui Yuan are just muddying the waters. Zhang Xiang, you are indeed doing that. You just want to tie Zhang Xiang to our Nanyang with Liu Zisi.
Although the means are shameless, we will not do this.The prince said, even if Zhang Xiang doesn't go to Nanyang, he will respect your choice.
No matter where a good official like you stays, he shouldn't be innocent by such low-handed means.Zhang Xiangruo wanted to go to Nanyang, so the matter of Liu Zisi was naturally indifferent.
If you don't want to go, we will have a way to testify for Zhang Xiang's innocence.
The main thing about Liu Zisi was to let him get away and go to Nanyang smoothly. "
Zhang Tingyu was silent for a while, and finally said, "Liu Zisi hasn't done anything yet, why did His Majesty know first?"
"This is beyond our expectations, but it doesn't matter, it's normal for the emperor to have capable people around him." The scribe replied indifferently.
"You guys were also responsible for Miao Cairen?" Zhang Tingyu continued to ask.
"Ms. Zhang asked so many questions, did he agree to go to Nanyang?" the scribe replied.
"Answer this question." Zhang Tingyu just continued to ask.
"We did it." The scribe admitted directly and generously.
Zhang Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, "The rumors about Miao Cairen outside are also true?"
The scribe smiled lightly, "That's true. Miao Cairen's family is actually from Nanyang. Miao Cairen can be regarded as a maidservant trained by the prince. This time she was asked to do it directly because she wanted to do one thing."
"what's up?"
The scribe continued to explain, "Half a year ago, our prince went to Jiangnan, and Miao Cairen also went to Jiangnan. The fetus in the womb was indeed the prince's, and it was aborted later."
Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu frowned slightly.
The scribe came again slowly, "We have left enough clues in the south of the Yangtze River. Presumably, Dali Temple should send back the news soon to confirm this matter."
"You want to spread this matter as rumors when the news comes?" Zhang Tingyu said.
"Zhang Xiang is great, indeed." The scribe nodded approvingly.
Zhang Tingyu sneered, "The majestic king of Nanyang even poisoned his flesh and blood by doing such a trick, and the tiger's poison doesn't even kill his offspring."
The scribe shook his head shallowly, and said, "Ms. Zhang misunderstood, mainly because of two points. First, Mr. Zhang, you said that the prince is torturing his flesh and blood, but it is not the case.
This is for a big plan, and you must know that the prince is only one son.After the birth of the prince's first son, he decided that there was only one young master in Nanyang.
Only in this way can we maximize the benefits of Nanyang and the people of Nanyang. "
After finishing speaking, the scholar paused for a moment before continuing, "Secondly, this is not a low-level trick. The emperor has always wanted to cut down the vassal, and we in Nanyang will give the emperor an excuse.
The Qinyuan case, the assassination case, and the case of Jia Miao Cairen.It must be enough.
Since you want to cut down the feudal clan, you should be bold. It is unrealistic to take Daqi's national power slowly, so we will help His Majesty to promote his determination to cut down the feudal clan.
Help His Majesty strengthen the idea of cutting the feudal clan.If Daqi does not cut down the vassals, how will the fate of the country start? "
Zhang Tingyu looked indifferent, "The King of Nanyang was planning this matter half a year ago?"
"That's not true." The scribe shook his head with a smile, "I buried it casually, but chose to dig it out at this point."
Zhang Tingyu remained indifferent and did not respond.
The scribe continued with a smile, "When Zhang Xiang sent the body to the Zhao Palace, I also sent another Blood Witch's body to the Qin Palace.
These two blood witches left a lot of "obscure" clues, and finally the clues will gather with me.I also have the status of a counselor of the King of Nanyang, so the matter is straightforward.
Prince Zhao's Mansion and Prince Qin's Mansion are naturally in the water, Mr. Zhang, you will rest easy and you will not be found.This is what our lord means. "
Zhang Tingyu ignored the other party's weasel-like mercy, just took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "So you are stirring up trouble in Tai'an, and the 30 soldiers on the border of Bingzhou are all for this so-called cutting down the feudal clan?
Nanyang wants to stand on his own right now? "
The scribe nodded generously, "It's time for my prince to own the land of the three states, why don't we just put it on the bright side, and everyone will be happy.
If the emperor wants to cut down the vassal, we are forced to stand on our own. This is also human nature. "
Zhang Tingyu sneered, "This is what the king of Nanyang keeps saying for the sake of the people? Once Nanyang becomes self-reliant, all states and counties will follow suit.
Daqi fell apart, and the world was in chaos. This is for the sake of the people. "
"Zhang Xiang, it will be a matter of time before the Great Qi collapses. Speeding up this process will be good for the world." The scribe said solemnly, "I think you, Zhang Xiang, understand this truth better than I do.
What has Daqi become in these years.
When the first emperor was in power, Zhang Xiang went to the local government and led many natural disasters.I don't need to go into too much detail about the virtues of the imperial court and local officials at that time.
Zhang Xiang's eyes could see more clearly than anyone else, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a purgatory on earth.
Don't talk about the past, Zhang Xiang, you say that today's son is a benevolent king.Two years ago, there was a major epidemic in Yunzhou.It is the benevolent king you mentioned who ordered the massacre of the city. 30 people were murdered on the spot. Is this what you call a benevolent monarch? "
Zhang Tingyu was silent for a long while, and said leisurely, "You don't understand. The truth is not like this, and the whole country is full of eggs, so this campaign cannot be spread."
"So, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of national power." The scribe said lightly, "If the King of Nanyang was here, this would not be the case. Any strong man who cuts off his arms is just an excuse for incompetence."
"The king of Nanyang is very ambitious. Even if he is in power, he will become another great Qi sooner or later." Zhang Xiang shook his head and said, "Your words are mostly fallacies, and I can't convince the old man."
The scribe fell silent, "That's all for now, right and wrong, Zhang Xiang can judge for himself."
"Are you not afraid that the old man will tell His Majesty?" Zhang Tingyu smiled.
"It doesn't matter." The scribe smiled lightly, "Your Majesty should know all about these things. This is our prince's aboveboard idea.
It's just that the process is a bit tortuous, so that people can "really" find us, otherwise it would be too fake. "
"Although you are indeed shameless about Miao Cairen, you don't really think that these things will make His Majesty angry? Or make His Majesty want to kill Nanyang King?" Zhang Tingyu asked with narrowed eyes.
"It's okay if you don't, but it's just the price of two blood witches." The scribe continued, "And it shows that His Majesty is a great man, just to remind Nanyang. There are many ways."
"Let's think about it slowly, Mr. Zhang, and come back to bother me if there is a chance."
Saying this, the scribe left happily.Zhang Tingyu didn't make a sound to stop him.
The matter has become clear, everything is just Nanyang King stirring up the water behind.
He wanted to arouse the dissatisfaction of the court and the emperor with Nanyang at the same time, and the simple method complicated the operation.Let the emperor find out, but it is not so easy to find out.
The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to show the world.
If the emperor used this reason to embarrass Nanyang, the latter could be said to be Taian deliberately trying to get rid of Nanyang King, a great hero.By that time, being self-reliant directly will not be criticized by too many people.
If this reason is not used, the emperor will be looked down upon by everyone.Because of Nanyang King's decision, this matter will probably spread to the world.
When the time comes, rumors will spread, and the emperor's concubine will be pregnant by a vassal king, but she will not say a word.This is undoubtedly an absolute challenge to Tianjia's prestige.
Seeing this, the other vassal kings couldn't figure out how to move their minds.
It's a shameless conspiracy, but it works.
Zhang Tingyu didn't intend to make a statement, or make a suggestion.He wanted to see how the Son of Heaven would handle this matter.
As the scribe just said. Dedicated to Daqi for 30 years, this old man has long been disappointed with the absolute darkness in it, and it is definitely not something that he, a civil servant, can change.
It seems that such a big Qi really has no expectations.
But, can you really stand up after breaking?
If not, it will only push the people in hell to a deeper hell.
Zhang Tingyu picked up the envelope on the table and opened it. There was a piece of rice paper inside, and there were a few simple words on the paper:
If two years pass by, the students are extremely grateful for the teacher's teaching.
Now, the students will go to Nanyang to have a look and see.See if there are any scenes in Nanyang that I have talked with the teacher, and take a look for the teacher carefully.
Students are ashamed to have a lot of words in their hearts but cannot speak face to face.
Zisi stays.
Zhang Tingyu looked at the simple letter paper with plain words, finally put it down gently, and looked up at the window.
There is sunshine, there are branches, there is a breeze, the wind is sunny, bright and clear.
~~
Zhao Wangfu.
This place is located in the depths of the inner city, occupying an extremely large area, and the decoration is mainly in black tones, with a low luxury atmosphere.
Zhao Wang Li Wan was the same generation as Li Xun. After Li Xun ascended the throne, he did not go to his own fief, but stayed in Zhao Wangfu in Tai'an.
He is different from Li Yan. After all, the latter is the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, and he can be properly active in the court no matter in terms of emotional status, becoming the leader of the clan,
He Li Wan is different, his identity is sensitive after all.Therefore, he has always kept a low profile, never participated in any government affairs, lived in seclusion every day, and cultivated his body and mind.
The most is to go out to parties with friends, and he is a happy king of idle clouds and wild cranes.The property in the mansion is also managed by his son-in-law, and he basically doesn't know anything about it.
When Yu Gan arrived here, he didn't act arrogantly, but got off his horse and knocked on the door himself.
Soon, a man with the appearance of a housekeeper poked his head out.
"Please tell the King of Zhao, and say that Dali Temple is investigating the case according to the order." Yu Gan smiled lightly.
The butler looked at the dark and dark man behind Yu Gan, and said politely, "My lord, wait a moment, the prince is not at home, I will let the son out first, and my lord will wait a moment."
"Yeah." Yu Gan nodded lightly.
Soon, there was movement in the mansion, and the middle door of Wang's mansion opened wide.
A man in his late thirties walked out first, with delicate facial features and wearing a simple green shirt, but judging from his temperament, he was by no means an ordinary person.
Followed by two young men, Li Bi and Li Xuan.
The two of them, Yu Gan, knew each other naturally. Leaving Li Wei aside, Yu Gan had dealt with him a lot.
Li Bi Yugan still had a deep impression, and he had invited himself once before because of Tianwuxuan.
The three brothers went into battle together, and they all looked good.There is one thing to say, the genes of the Daqi royal family are really good.
"I don't know why you came to Dali Temple?" The leading man in green shirt asked Yu Gan with a slight smile.
"What's your name, Young Master?" Yu Gan also bowed to him and asked.
The other party said softly, "Li Bing, the son of Prince Zhao."
"I have met His Royal Highness." Yu Gan's smile instantly hung on his face, "No wonder Your Highness, we are investigating the case by order. There has been no major progress in the Qinyuan case.
The blood witch couldn't be found for a long time, and His Majesty's will was there again.Our Dali Temple had no choice but to use the stupid method of checking the government.
After all, it is not easy for Zhao Wangfu to shirk the matter of Tianwuxuan Wuji Xiaorou.So we thought about checking the palace first.
Of course, I personally know the Third Highness and the Second Highness.Both of them are modest gentlemen, and I also believe that this matter has nothing to do with the palace.
But the procedures that should be followed still have to be followed. After the investigation is all right, it just happens to be able to restore the innocence of the Wangfu.I wonder if His Royal Highness can understand one or two? "
Li Bing was not in a hurry to answer Yu Gan's question, but turned his head to look at Li Xuan and Li Bi, and said, "Do you know this lord?"
"I know." Li Xuan smiled, "Deacon Yu and I should be called Director Yu now. Director Yu and I are good friends."
"His Royal Highness praised you." Yu Gan hurriedly bowed with a smile.
"Since that is the case, Director Yu bears the emperor's order, Zhao Wangfu should cooperate and ask Dali Temple to investigate." Li Bing turned his body sideways and said with a faint smile.
"Your Highness, don't you need to wait for the prince to come back?" Yu Gan asked.
"No, my father is here to give this answer. The Zhao Palace will fully cooperate with His Majesty's will." Li Bing replied.
"Then interrupt." Yu Gan nodded, then turned his head and gave the same order to the people behind him just now at the Cui Mansion.
But I added one more sentence, let them not damage the things in the house.
After finishing speaking, Yu Gan stepped aside and retreated to the side of the aunt who had been standing quietly on the left.The people below began to act one after another.
The Weifu of the Weifu, those who went in to search went in and searched, it looked lively.
The guards in the palace did not dare to stop them at all, and let the people from Dali Temple and Qin Tianjian check.The three of Li Bing waited outside the gate of the mansion, watching the movement in the mansion quietly.
One street ahead of Prince Zhao's Mansion, inside Princess Wen'an's Mansion.
In a four-story pavilion in the mansion, Li Nianxiang and Li Jian were leaning on the railing and looking towards the direction of Prince Zhao's mansion.
When Yu Gan's team came here just now, the commotion caused naturally attracted the attention of many people, most of them were clan residences.
The sudden appearance of the brigade of imperial guards here will naturally make people alert.
Li Nianxiang had no interest in this kind of thing, but today Li Jian was a guest, and then his subordinates came to report that Yu Gan was leading the team.
This is not a coincidence, the princess's interest came instantly.
