The rise of the prince

Chapter 345 Premonition

Chapter 345 Premonition
The next day, the rain continued, and the small courtyard under the eaves was full of water, and the sound of frogs could be heard from time to time in the swollen lotus pond.

Three days and one morning, and today I have nothing to do, so I don't go to court.

Although I was free, the launch of the Wangfu Dingnan class ship had to be postponed because of the rain.

I was extremely bored, after breakfast, I could only play cards and listen to stories told by Li Xingzhou.

Yue'er rested her face on his lap, Gillian was sitting beside her, Qiu'er was writing and drawing in the distance, listening with ears pricked up from time to time, while Shiyu carefully made tea for everyone. Perseverance, we must always pursue meticulousness, and we can't make mistakes at all.

Li Xingzhou said vividly:

"Sun Wukong suddenly heard someone talking in front of Fangcaopo. He sneaked lightly, dodged under the rocky cliff, and secretly watched.

At first glance, it turned out to be three monsters, sitting on the ground.At the top is a black man, at the bottom on the left is a Taoist, and at the bottom of the right is a scholar in white, all of whom are talking loudly there.It talks about setting up a tripod and setting up a furnace, kneading sand to smelt mercury, white snow and yellow buds, and outsiders.

The black man said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow is my mother's difficult day, can the second father come and take care of me?"
The white-clothed scholar said: "I celebrate my birthday with the king every year. Is there any reason not to come this year?"The black man said: "I got a treasure at night. It's called Jinying Buddha Clothes. It's really a fun thing."Tomorrow, I will celebrate his birthday with a big banquet, and invite all mountain Taoist officials to celebrate the Buddha's clothes, so how about calling it the Buddha's clothes meeting."

Everyone listened intently, Yue'er simply lay on his lap and listened quietly.

Gillian listened for a while, and then said: "My lord, I want to write down your story."

Li Xingzhou laughed, "Journey to the West" he only remembers the few episodes he remembers, which are the ones that are often shown on TV. "Journey to the West" itself is a collection of trivial stories that were circulated during the Tang Dynasty. work.

Li Xingzhou admires this work very much, because there are few such works in history. Life requires not only down-to-earth struggle, but also unrestrained romance.

"You can write whatever you want, but I can only tell stories, you can write whatever you want." Gillian nodded happily, took his hand, and leaned on his shoulder.

Outside the house, the raindrops are pattering, and the rain at the end of summer is still there.

At noon, Yushi Zhongcheng from Chaozhong Yushitai came to see him at the palace.

Yushi Taichung's name is Zhou Huachong, who was born in the imperial examination. In fact, since Emperor Taizong, Jing Dynasty has been committed to selecting talents through the imperial examination. Many important officials in the court were selected through the imperial examination. Bi Hezhao, and today's Zhou Huachong.

Although there is a shadow system, most of the eldest sons of many important ministers can only serve as small officials. The emperor's doing this is nothing more than trying to weaken the power of powerful officials, but this problem is unsolvable. Conclusion, because the emperor can change ministers constantly, but he can't stop these ministers from forming a party.

Like Wang Tong of the Wang family, there are not many people in Jingguo who are the son of Wang Yue but are the prefects of the upper government.

There are many mansions in the Jing Dynasty, but the gap between the upper mansion and the lower mansion is very large, such as the upper mansion Kaiyuan Mansion, Ansu Mansion, Ningjiang Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, etc. Prime Minister Yu.

And the youngest prefect of the upper government is also an important court official from the third rank, a feudal official, while the prefect of the lower government is only the fifth rank.The reason for this gap is that those upper mansions, such as Kaiyuan Mansion, Ansu Mansion, Ningjiang Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, etc., are like municipalities directly under the Central Government in later generations, while Zhongfu and Xiafu are ordinary second- and third-tier cities.

Everyone calls it what city, what prefecture, but the difference is very big.

So it is enough to see how promising Wang Tong is.

But Zhou Huachong might be stronger than his old father-in-law Wang Tong this time, because he has no family background, so he got admitted through the imperial examination, and then he worked hard to become the imperial censor Taizhong Cheng.

Zhou Huachong looks like a middle-aged and accomplished scholar, and he is very careful in what he says and does.

After the servant girl served the tea, he straightened his sleeves, stood up and bowed respectfully: "My lord, it is a matter of the south to take the liberty to visit today.

The thieves of the Ding family have already confessed in Yushitai Prison, and the testimonies were recorded again, but they can’t tell the truth from the truth. The lord is going to clean up the south and put an end to the chaos. If these thieves are captured, he must know the truth, so please ask the lord to help us check the authenticity of this testimony , or report to the emperor. "

It turns out that the prisoner's confession must be reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice so that he can check and proofread it when the case is reversed.

Li Xingzhou took a stack of confessions, and looking carefully, among them, Ding Yi gave the most confessions, most of which were about how the Ding family conspired and how they arranged it. By now, Ding Yi in Yushitai Prison probably knew that it was useless to conceal.

However, this testimony is also based on the attitude of being involved as much as possible, wishing to involve everyone in Suzhou, especially the few major businesses.

After Li Xingzhou came back, he also wrote a detailed report. Regarding the situation in the south, and the help of the Wang family and other Suzhou families, he had submitted it to the Privy Council and handed it over to the emperor. To be honest, he didn’t want any accidents to happen to the major merchants in Suzhou.

This is not only because of the business of the palace, but also for the benefit of the people of Suzhou.

Thinking of this, he said: "It's all right, but he didn't say enough about the big merchants. In the end, it was the big merchants who captured the members of the Ding family and opened the door to surrender to the court. They have credit."

After hearing this, Zhou Huachong quickly recorded it, and was going to ask again when he went back.

Li Xingzhou added some additional points, and Zhou Huachong wrote them down one by one. The tea was changed twice when it was cold, and then he got up to leave.

Before leaving, he said again, "By the way, the chief culprit, Ding Yi, said that he wanted to see the prince, and that he had something important to tell."

Li Xingzhou shook his head: "Tell him, no see."

The light rain outside the house was still there. Li Xingzhou wanted Zhou Huachong to stop the rain before leaving, but Zhou Huachong thanked him and refused, and then left in a hurry. It seemed that the emperor attached great importance to this matter and was going to make a decision.

In the punishment, beheading is very severe. For example, Zhu Yue, the previous Wude envoy, was finally sentenced to beheaded by Qiu Houwen, and he is still not executed in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The reason why we have to wait for Qiu Hou is that we are afraid of making a wrong judgment and give people time to reverse the case.Second, the ancients believed that killing people in spring, Xia Chang, autumn killing, winter hiding, and after the beginning of autumn is in accordance with God's will.

Sending him off, Li Xingzhou sighed. He only hoped that the emperor would be more relaxed about this matter and not involve too many people.

In the afternoon, he took an umbrella and went to the back mountain to look at the cement wall. The wall was well-hardened and did not fall off due to the rain. The situation was very good!
In the evening, everyone sat around and had dinner together, and later in the evening, they heard the bustle and commotion outside.

Li Xingzhou went out with an umbrella out of curiosity, and saw a few maids and servants whispering in the dry place under the eaves to avoid the rain.

Li Xingzhou asked what they were talking about, a few people were startled, and then began to gossip with him, saying that Jurchen sent someone to ask to see the emperor, and the envoy had already arrived at Yingtian Mansion.

Ask them where they heard it from, and they say it came from the Yamen servants of Kaiyuan Mansion.

Because Yingtianfu sent people to see Kaiyuanfu, the yamen servant heard Fuyin talking to the fast horse, so he spread the word.

"Jurchen envoy?" Li Xingzhou frowned, and since he came from Yingtian Mansion, he should have landed from Lai and Deng by sea.

If it is true, why did the Jurchens come?
Suddenly, Li Xingzhou was taken aback, and some memories flashed in his mind, Lai and Denghailu, wouldn't they be the same as in the previous life?

Then he shook his head again. After all, this was just hearsay, and he couldn't be sure.

If the historical development really matches the previous life, Li Xingzhou couldn't help frowning, and then he went into the room and asked Gillian, "Gillian, do you know who the Jurchen leader is now?"

Gillian was sitting at the table, writing the story told by Li Xingzhou with her own pen and ink by the light. Seeing him asking this question suddenly, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Jurchen is composed of many tribes, and naturally there are many leaders. Remember them all."

"Then is there anyone named Wanyan Aguda?" Li Xingzhou asked again.
