Chapter 366: Stabilizing the Prince (two updates in one)

East Palace.

Wang Gouzi carried his meager luggage and Ma Liu packed up his residence.

Then, he stood in front of the basin, straightened his appearance, and walked out of the house.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but the wind was strong, making a whining sound. Wang Gouzi looked around and saw Eunuch Guo standing on the corridor outside the main hall, talking to a chamberlain.

He pressed forward and stopped after about fifteen or six steps.

After Eunuch Guo finished speaking, he turned around and saw the newly transferred waiter waiting there with his head down.

Eunuch Guo looked him over.

Eunuch Cao had privately told him to "pay attention" to this chamberlain from Yongji Palace.

Subconsciously, Mr. Guo recognized that this person would cause trouble, but when he saw him face to face, he actually felt that this person was very obedient.

He was very obedient when he was led into the East Palace, and he was very obedient when he was asked to pack his things first. Now he is even more obedient when he is waiting for instructions.

Maybe it’s my first time here…

I’m still holding back the bad water.

Eunuch Guo was particularly considerate, cleared his throat and said, "The new guy."

Wang Gouzi then raised his head, walked closer, and greeted Eunuch Guo: "My surname is Wang, and the previous bosses all called me 'Gouzi'."

"The Za family will still call you 'Gouzi'," Guo Gonggong said, "Have you packed it up? Is there anything missing?"

Wang Gouzi said: "It's packed, there's no shortage of things, the house is pretty good."

Eunuch Guo smiled.

Wang Gouzi said again: "You know, I used to work in Yongji Palace, which is not as good as the East Palace."

Eunuch Guo understood what he meant.

With His Majesty's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for him to deduct food and clothing from the one in Yongji Palace. Eunuch Cao is in charge, and he will not do unnecessary things like that.

But those are all directed towards that person. If they are really implemented, there will still be a few reductions, and these reductions will ultimately be borne by the people in the palace.

Especially a young palace man like Wang Gouzi.

The house you live in may not have air leakage, but don't expect enough charcoal fire for heating.

As far as Wang Gouzi is concerned, going from Yongji Palace to East Palace is indeed an ascension.

"In addition to living well, you must also do things well," Guo Gonggong said, "His Highness has invited you here, and you must serve him well."

"Young one must do your best," Wang Gouzi hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "It's just Eunuch Guo. I used to do odd jobs. I have no experience in working in front of noble people. I don't know many things at all. I hope you can give me more advice." , the young one must study hard."

Eunuch Guo nodded.

This dog seems to be somewhat active.

Also, if you are inactive, how can you ascend?

He just stretched out his hand so as not to hit the smiling person. Wang Gouzi hadn't shown any signs of bad behavior yet, so Eunuch Guo naturally couldn't scare the snake away.

"Let's go, I'll take you in to see His Highness," he said.

Wang Gouzi followed. After entering the hall, he didn't dare to look around and followed Eunuch Guo and Li Shao to greet them.

Li Shao met the person and said directly: "You will follow me from now on."

Wang Gouzi's face looked happy, surprised, but not ecstatic. In Eunuch Guo's eyes, this emotion could be regarded as being restrained just right, so he couldn't help but take a deep look at Wang Gouzi.

Wang Gouzi knelt down and saluted Li Shao: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your promotion."

Li Shao asked him: "What? You didn't know before?"

"The little one only knew that he would be transferred to the East Palace to run errands in front of you," Wang Gouzi said, "I didn't expect that he would follow you around."

Li Shao nodded slightly and signaled Wang Gouzi to make tea.

Wang Gouzi stood up and looked at Eunuch Guo.

When he first arrived, Eunuch Guo couldn't ignore him. He took him to get acquainted with the things in the lower hall, and also talked about Li Shao's preference for tea.

The young man has a good memory and remembered everything after listening to it once.

Eunuch Guo saw that he was quite reliable in doing things, so he left first.

"Attention" also needs to be paid attention to. If he keeps staring, others will not have a chance to cause trouble.

Wang Gouzi served Li Shao tea.

Li Shao took a sip and said, "When you left Yongji Palace, did my third uncle say anything?"

Wang Gouzi said: "The little one is just a small chamberlain. If I hadn't led the way for His Highness, I wouldn't have been able to reach the main hall and see him. I just listened to a few words from the steward and came here."

Li Shao clicked his tongue: "Can't you see him? I originally wanted to ask him something more."

Wang Gouzi smiled sarcastically: "You ask, but little ones don't know much, and few can answer it."

"He seems to know a lot about things outside the palace. Who told him?" Li Shao asked directly.

Wang Gouzi's face turned pale and he said in surprise: "Knowing about things outside the palace? According to the rules, that person should not be allowed to know.

The small ones are serving one group at the front, and the ones waiting close behind are another group.

The younger ones can occasionally hear some news from outside the palace, but they don't know what's happening inside.

But I couldn’t tell for sure, maybe someone was unruly and the person asked and answered. "

Li Shao snorted and reluctantly accepted this explanation.

Speaking of which, this is the case in a place with people. Everyone has a mouth, and it is impossible to completely block all kinds of news.

He was grounded before, and the news from the East Palace and the outside world was also cut off, but the servant Feng could still deliver it in. At that time, it was said that the person who delivered meals every day could speak a few words.

Yongji Palace naturally has the manpower needed to deliver daily needs. As long as the third uncle wants to collect some information, he can always do it.

"Speaking of which, you are quite agile," Li Shao looked at Wang Gouzi and said, "Why didn't Third Uncle find you?"

Wang Gouzi looked embarrassed and said: "Maybe I think the younger one is too young? The younger one looks smart, but in fact he is not very courageous."

"Aren't you brave enough?" Li Shao said, "Then what can you do?"

Wang Gouzi thought about it seriously and said: "I will serve you in your daily life. When you are in the six departments to observe politics, I will serve you with pen and ink. I will do the things you tell me well."

Li Shao:......

He is indeed agile, but how come he has no skills compared to Feng Neishi?

No, Chamberlain Feng is very knowledgeable. How could Wang Sixian and his group not have the same skills? They even found someone to follow Xu Jian, but they were obviously not very good at following him.

But this bastard...

That's it.

He was originally working in Yongji Palace, so what kind of connections could he have? Do you know where the capital is interesting?

The reason why Wang Gouzi came over was because this person was quite pleasing to the eye.

The sun is in the west, and the sunset is like fire.

Cheng Xi led people to set up a table and served Jin Guiren's meal.

Taking a look at the bottle of wine, Cheng Xi stroked the bottle, hesitating whether to add more or not.

Jin Guiren glanced at him.

Cheng Xi had no choice but to ask: "Can I warm another pot for you?"

"Forget it," Jin Guiren put the wine cup on his own, "I won't drink it after finishing this pot."

Cheng Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and poured the last bit on.

Jin Guiren touched the wine cup and asked, "How is the man named Feng doing?"

"It's still in Eunuch Cao's hands," Cheng Xi replied, "Don't worry, he won't talk nonsense."

"It's no wonder what comes out of a living person's mouth," Jin Guiren said. "Eunuch Cao's method almost failed even Wang Liu for six years. Others can't say for sure."

Cheng Xi pursed her lower lip.

He knew that what his master said was true. He was very afraid of death, and so was Tong Gonggong, so when Dao Heng and Wang Qi died before, they were extremely panicked.

But Chengxi also knew that death could only happen once, and the inability to die was the most unacceptable thing.

Falling into the hands of Eunuch Cao...

Cheng Xi didn't dare to think about whether he could endure it.

"Give him a pleasure?" Cheng Xi asked cautiously.

"I think Feng Neishi really wants to be happy," Jin Guiren commented, "But can you do it? Under the nose of Eunuch Cao, unknowingly give Feng Neishi a solution?"

Cheng Xi lowered his eyes.

Can't do it.

The master has his own way of doing things, and in recent years he has only been forced to have his tail cut off by Xu Jian. The reason why he can be so "comfortable" is because the master will not act randomly.

Without complete preparation, I will not show off my teeth and claws in front of the Holy One.

To touch the people who have been publicized by Mr. Cao is no different from the lion dance in front of the emperor.

I can't help Chamberlain Feng, I just want to see how long he can hold on.

Cheng Xi didn't mention Waiter Feng again and said, "The prince asked Yongji Palace for Wang Gouzi. He has already gone to the East Palace."

Jin Guiren drank the last bit of wine and asked, "Have you told him?"

"I have already told him," Cheng Xi said, "Let him be careful and stabilize the prince."

Jin Guiren sneered.

We really need to keep His Royal Highness steady.

The incident in the paddock must be blamed on Xu Jian. He used the trick very well. He found trouble for the prince without being settled by the emperor at all. He had a good sense of scale.

But doesn’t it really blame the prince for His Majesty to be fooled?

Summoning Uncle Chengyi, summoning the three princes, sitting back and watching the prince go around Yongji Palace and sending a dog to the East Palace. The undercurrent behind this movement cannot be hidden from anyone.

Didn’t you see that the Empress Dowager invited the Holy Father to Cining Palace?

There is no doubt that the Holy Spirit is thinking about some "big things".

"It's hard for him," Jin Guiren whispered, "He dotes on the prince so much that he even thought of such a method."

Cheng Xi didn't understand, so naturally he didn't dare to answer.

Jin Guiren didn't care about the reactions of the people around him. He actually wanted to carefully consider Xu Jian's thoughts.

Xu Jian, like him, treats the crown prince as a pawn. He can cause trouble to the prince, but the flag cannot fall.

If the Holy Emperor really decided to "depose the prince", it would be an accident for him, and it would also be a variable for Xu Jian.

Of course, he didn't want to go that far.

But the prince's birth was really a lot, and it was full of flaws that were difficult to stop.

Jin Guiren stood up from the table and walked to the window.

The glow outside dissipated and night gradually fell. He looked at it for a while and said, "Xu Jian doesn't plan to go to court?"

Cheng Xi replied: "I heard that I need to recuperate from my injuries."

"Recuperate and have free time every day," Jin Guiren said coldly, "He is just too free."

Only when you are free can you find a lot of things for the prince to do.

It seems that in addition to stabilizing the prince, preventing him from committing crimes and giving the Holy Emperor an opportunity, he also has to find something else for Xu Jian to do.

But Xu Jian had bad legs and had to take care of them, so he would be easily pushed away no matter what he did.

The next day.

Li Shao still followed the Holy Shang to the court.

While preparing, Sheng glanced at Wang Gouzi who was following Li Shao.

Wang Gouzi was well-behaved and honest, with a hint of uneasiness, and followed every step.

The Holy Emperor withdrew his gaze, and when the time came, he stepped into the Golden Palace.

It was probably because they had been very impassioned yesterday, but today the censors had all stopped and stopped staring at His Highness the Crown Prince and saying anything.

The rest of the thoughtful people, such as Gu Shaoqing and others, restrained themselves a little without the censor to clear the way, making Li Shao's morning court less difficult.

The main point today is still focused on the case that cannot be reached.

Shuntian Mansion insisted that he had found out. You pushed me and I pushed him in the third division, but no one could convince anyone. He wished that the case would be disturbed from the end of the year to the end of the New Year.

Shan Shen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He had a poisonous mouth, but he still had to be a little cautious in the Jinluan Palace, and all he said were respectable words.

He has become dignified, but the case is still not dignified. It is here, with no way forward or any retreat.

The Holy One was impatient to listen to their quarrel.

Li Shao didn't have this patience anymore and said: "Father has also said before that the morning court is not a place for the ministers to debate. Since it is a case, let's check the result. If it is not the result, then don't come and go here. If there is It’s better to check again at this time.”

As soon as the words fell, the people below fell silent for a while.

The Holy Emperor turned to look at Li Shao, and then said: "The prince is right."

Shan Shen took a deep breath.

Talking about the matter, he also understood that what His Highness the Crown Prince said was true, but the current situation was clearly caused by the Third Division's messing around.

Dali Temple returned the case files of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department came to talk to him about Shuntian Mansion. However, he did not want to think that he was picked off by the Criminal Department and kicked out of the case.

This is really...

Wrongful, very wronged!

His arm couldn't twist his thigh, and if the Xingbu and Dali Temple came to trouble him, he wouldn't be able to handle it either.

At this time, Shan Shen missed his "Bodhisattva" very much.

If the Duke of Fu was supervising this case, would the Ministry of Punishment dare to pick peaches? How dare you not understand it and cause trouble again?

Then I can't find another good Bodhisattva who can achieve such efficacious effects by lighting incense and offering them.

After all, Duke Fu had to recuperate from his injuries. No matter how much Shan Shen missed him, he wouldn't beg to come to his door right now...

Thinking like this, Shan Fuyin couldn't help but look up at Li Shao.

Your Highness, the deer was not brought back, and the Shuntian Mansion lost a large Buddha that could be moved.

Li Shao didn't notice Shan Shen's gaze.

He knew that these days had made his father angry. Now that he heard his father agree with his words, he felt less anxious and wanted to show off even more.

"This case has been delayed for more than half a year," Li Shao cleared his throat and said, "There is no reason to delay it until next year. Can you give me a result before it is sealed?"

When he said this, Li Shao's eyes fell on Shan Shen.

Shan Shen:......

Blame him for not being in the right position.

Those guys from Sansi are not on the same line as him.

Shan Shen could tell that the results were already there, just like what he had found out before, and before the seal was used, it would still be the same now.

But His Highness the Crown Prince explained it like this. Obviously, he is not easy to break the pot, so he needs to make some supplements more or less.

Shan Shen could only look at the three people beside him.

The Dali Temple was high-sounding and urged the Ministry of Punishment to provide more evidence; the Ministry of Punishment turned to Shan Shen and urged him to handle the case carefully.

Shan Shen lowered his head, rolled his eyes secretly, and swallowed a lot of curses: "I should do my best to find out the case together with the Third Division."

So be it.

No one can have a good New Year!
