No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 320 Close the unsolved case? (two more)

Every day, he went to the palace to preside over the memorial ceremony for the courtiers' wives to pay homage to the Empress Dowager, and participated in a series of cumbersome rituals that made people's scalp tingle.After seven days in a row, amidst the mourning and howling, the coffin of Empress Dowager Zhu was finally sent to Fengxian Hall for parking, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief in unison.

Sending Zi Palace to the Underground Palace of the Imperial Mausoleum still needs the Qin Tianjian to choose another auspicious date, and it will take time for the Imperial Mausoleum, at least it will be the first half of next year.

During this period, Xie Yan and Luo Junyao also attended the funeral of Marquis Dingyang.

As for the people who died in Prince Mu's Mansion, the Prince Regent's Mansion just sent someone to take a look. Neither Xie Yan nor Luo Junyao came to the door in person.

Although people thought it was strange that so many people died overnight in Prince Mu's Mansion, no one thought too much about it.It was only because Prince Mu's Mansion was unlucky that it was broken into by those people in the rivers and lakes that night, causing huge casualties.

Because many people were arrested for King Ning's rebellion before, the people in the court are very nervous now.It will be closed again in recent years, and the officials who can still work can't wait to grow eight hands. Who has the mood and courage to pursue these things?

It has nothing to do with yourself.

Everyone can only hope that next year Chunwei will have a few more talents to make up for the lack of personnel in the court.

After the morning court that day, the people who came out of the political hall all looked a little dignified and strange.

The matter of King Ning was not over yet, and it was not easy for people to whisper to each other in groups, so they could only show their good colleagues with their eyes, and then find a place to talk later.

Naturally, there are also those who are conscious and open-minded, and don't care about these.

"Master Wei, please wait, please stay." Wei Changting, who was walking outside the palace, looked back at the officials who were chasing him, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "My lords, what advice do you have?"

Several adults hurriedly said: "Where, it is... Lord Wei, what do you think the regent is thinking? Why is this..."

Wei Changting smiled and said: "What's the matter? The Yao family's affairs were not clear at all. Now that they have found out, it is natural to tell the world and give an explanation to the government and the public."

"But, but..."

Wei Changting spread his arms around the shoulders of the middle-aged official closest to him, and said, "What's the matter? Wasn't the matter of the Yao family an unsolved case back then? Didn't the case remain under the pressure of the government? Now that the investigation has been completed, shouldn't there be a case?" result?"

The middle-aged official frowned and said, "But it involves the imperial court and Prince Mu's residence...Old King Mu is the biological father of His Royal Highness the Regent. And the reputation of the imperial court..." After all, it doesn't sound good, whether it is an individual or the court.

Of course Wei Changting knew what these people were thinking, in the final analysis it was family ugliness that should not be publicized.

Since it has been so many years, let him pass.

Wei Changting laughed, and said: "Then the Yao family is still the ancestral family of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent."

Several officials looked at each other, and one of them asked cautiously: "What does the regent mean..."

Wei Changting sighed and said, "There are so many archives piled up in the Sansi yamen, where do you adults think they came from?"

"Oh, that's all." Several people immediately understood that the regent king had made up his mind to announce these things to the world, so they stopped asking.

They came to Wei Changting, in fact, to ask him about Xie Yan's attitude.Now that the Regent is in power, since he has made up his mind, who can stop him?

Counting that it has only been a few months since the regent returned to Beijing, the situation in Shangyong has already turned upside down.

The four auxiliary ministers, the boss Su Taifu is about to retire, King Ning and Xiang Ruan have committed suicide, and they are still imprisoned in the sky prison.Now all the power in the court belongs to the Regent...

What will happen in the future... It's hard to say.

"Master Wei, please stay." A guard hurried over and bowed.

Wei Changting looked sideways at the person who came, and the guard said: "Master Wei, the regent is here to invite you."

Wei Changting nodded, bid farewell to several adults, then turned and headed towards the main hall of political affairs.

Xie Yan does not work in the Imperial Study Room now, but chooses the office location in the East Side Hall of the Great Hall of Political Affairs.

It is very close to the classrooms of the various ministries in the court, and it is convenient for the ministers of the ministries to ask for an interview if they have anything to do. After the court meeting, they can go directly to the side hall to work.

Wei Changting stepped into the East Side Hall. Xie Yan was sitting behind the desk reviewing the papers. He raised his head when he heard footsteps and said, "News from Nanjiang are here. Let's take a look."

Wei Changting was a little surprised, and raised his hand to catch the note thrown by Xie Yan, "So fast?" How long is it?The people sent out probably haven't arrived in southern Xinjiang yet, right?
Xie Yan snorted softly and said, "The governor of Huaizhou has been keeping an eye on Nanjiang. As soon as he got the news, he immediately sent the letter back to Shangyong. If we wait until we feel something is wrong, we will have to check it, at least one month later. information."

Wei Changting opened the booklet and glanced at the date on it, and sure enough it was ten days ago.

It is a long way from Nanjiang to Shangyong, and it is already extremely fast to get there in ten days.

After scanning the scriptures at a glance, Wei Changting frowned slightly, and his expression became a little dignified, "Several tribes in southern Xinjiang have changed, and the comfort envoys in southern Xinjiang did not report to the imperial court. We only know about this after the news from the governor of Huaizhou .”

Huaizhou is close to southern Xinjiang, but the political history of Huaizhou cannot control the affairs of southern Xinjiang.

The imperial court set up a Xuanwei envoy in southern Xinjiang, and the Xuanwei envoy and the local tribal leaders in southern Xinjiang jointly managed southern Xinjiang.Of course, the leaders of the various ministries are in charge of the specific matters, and the consolation envoy is a mediator to regulate the relationship between the various ministries, issue imperial edicts on their behalf, and collect information to maintain stability.

Xie Yan was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "Obviously, this Southern Xinjiang Propaganda Envoy is not very obedient, or he can't speak at all."

Wei Changting took a deep breath, "Is there going to be chaos in southern Xinjiang?"

"It's hard to say." Xie Yan said.

"Fortunately, I just negotiated with the Qi people and brought back the land in the southwest. Otherwise, there will be troubles in southern Xinjiang, and the Qi people may take the opportunity to make trouble." Wei Changting said with a frown: "The road in southern Xinjiang is far away, even if you go out We won't be able to find out what happened for a while, do we have to send someone there?"

Xie Yan looked up at him, Wei Changting immediately said vigilantly: "I won't go, I'm busy now."

Changing from a dignified general to a servant of the household department is already enough of a headache. Seeing that he has just gotten started, Xie Yan don't want to transfer him back to lead the army.He is not a brick, he can move wherever it is missing!
Xie Yan said indifferently: "You think too much. If something happens in southern Xinjiang, it's useless for you to go." Although Wei Changting has some military achievements, he is too young, and the tough folk customs in southern Xinjiang are not something he can suppress living.

"Then what do you think I mean?" Wei Changting asked.

Xie Yan said: "It's useless for you to go, but the Marquis of Lingchuan may be able to."

"My father?" Wei Changting opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but said, "Well, although my father has practiced martial arts, he has never been on the battlefield." Before, his father and Ancheng County King were asked to deal with the Imperial Forest Army together. The matter is already too much, and now he has to go all the way to southern Xinjiang, his father will beat him to death!

Xie Yan said: "No one asked the Marquis of Lingchuan to fight."

"The mountains in southern Xinjiang are high and the roads are far away..." Wei Changting tried to persuade Xie Yan to choose someone else.

Xie Yan said: "Then you go."

Wei Changting immediately changed his words, and said in a serious tone: "The salary of eating the emperor, the matter of loyalty to the emperor, I will definitely persuade my father to serve the court with all his heart."

Xie Yan snorted softly, and said calmly: "The old Dukes and Lord Hou are either old or have been seriously injured in their early years. The Marquis of Lingchuan has not yet reached the age of destiny. What is the reason for staying at home all these years?"

Wei Changting blinked his eyes and said: "This... how do I know? Maybe my father just doesn't want to work too hard? The Hou's mansion still has some thin income and annual salary, so it's fine if you don't starve to death?"

Xie Yandao: "The Marquis of Lingchuan is in his prime, and the court is also employing people. Go back and tell the Marquis of Lingchuan, the Southern Xinjiang Propaganda Envoy and the Yizhou Governor, to choose one."

Wei Changting sighed softly, "I will go back and tell you."

It can already be foreseen that he is about to face the day of parting from his parents again.

If his father is released to become an official, my mother will definitely be reluctant to go with him.

That's great!He was about to be forced into a marriage by his mother and was too afraid to go home!
Wei Changting happily went home with two documents bearing the regent's seal, and Xie Yan also got up and walked outside.

"My lord."

"Go to the prison." Xie Yan said indifferently.

"Yes."

The dungeon was as quiet and solemn as usual, Luo Junyao sat leisurely at the square table and looked at Luo Jinyan who was busy writing not far away.

"Brother, are you planning to transfer to the Metropolitan Procuratorate or Dali Temple?" Luo Jun asked, shaking his chin.

Luo Jinyan stopped writing and raised his head to look at her, "Why?"

Luo Jun shook his voice: "You are either in the sky prison or in the Sansi yamen every day recently. Do you still remember the general of your military guard?"

Luo Jinyan said calmly: "I'm going to ask your husband about this. I go around the Tianlao and the Sansi Yamen every day, but I haven't seen him give me two salaries."

That's right, although Luo Jinyan is interrogating people every day these days, he also has a lot of errands in the army.Fortunately, Yu Mingqiu recovered quickly, and with him in command of the Wuwei Army, Luo Jinyan had little to worry about.

Luo Junyao immediately stopped talking, and gave a cute and innocent smile.

Luo Jinyan snorted softly, closed the file in his hand and said, "I only run to the prison every day when I have something to do, what are you doing here, the princess regent?"

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "I came here specially to find you."

"Looking for me?" Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

Luo Jun said: "Didn't you say to help you change that crossbow a few days ago? A finished product has already been made, please go and have a look together."

Luo Jinyan was a little surprised, "So fast? Why didn't you bring it here?" When my sister came over, she didn't bring anything?

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "It's not convenient here, we need to change to another place."

Luo Jinyan said: "Let's wait a few days, I'm not free now." He didn't think that his sister could make anything special, and he was really busy these days.

Luo Junyao snorted softly in his heart, forget it.

Anyway, only did one.She wants to give it to Dad and A Yan first, and show it to Dad first!

"Okay, let's wait until the elder brother is free, I'll go find my father first!" Luo Junyao decided to give his father a surprise when he thought of the immediate action.

Luo Jinyan didn't care, nodded and said: "Go ahead, if you need me in the future, go home. Sky Prison is not a good place, don't always run here."

Luo Junyao made a face at him, and was about to get up and go out when he saw Xie Yan striding in from outside.
