Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 242
In front of the Xuanzheng Hall, many officials looked at the distant background with slightly gloomy expressions, and each of them wished to swallow Shen Du alive.

In the final analysis, what happened today has a lot to do with Shen Du.

If Shen Du hadn't collected criminal evidence from the four prefectures and put on a play in the Xuanzheng Hall, why would there be a Beijing investigation.

Now they intend to seek peace, but Shen Du obviously has no such intention.

does it worth?
Seeing that the East Palace has come to an end, it must be like this, stupid behavior.

Liu Chengzhi frowned, feeling a little heavy.

The hearts of many officials were not at ease, and they cast their eyes on several big shots in the court from time to time.

Now that the Jingcha restarts, there will inevitably be a huge storm, and it is unknown how many people will die under this wave.

However, there are also some veterans who let out bursts of hearty laughter.

Not all courts are full of scumbags. In fact, many veterans have long been displeased with Liu Chengzhi and others' behavior.

It's just that these people are powerful, they are weak, and they can only endure it on weekdays.

"Ha ha!"

"This court hall really needs to be cleaned up. Anyone can go to court."

Several veterans laughed and walked away.

Yan Ziqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, walked last, his eyes half-closed, giving the appearance of not waking up.

"Master Yan, stop!"

Liu Chengzhi's eyes flickered, he called out to Yan Ziqing, and said in a deep voice, "Master Yan, what do you think about the Beijing inspection?"

Yan Ziqing made them extremely passive today.

Yan Ziqing has always been neutral, and now that the prince is in the sunset, there is no reason to support the prince at this moment.

So they couldn't figure out why Yan Ziqing would support this matter.

However, Yan Ziqing is the elder of the three dynasties and the chief assistant of the cabinet, if he is willing to "suppress" Shen Du, the situation may turn around by then.

They need time!
In the past, the Jingchao would take three months at the fastest. Given the prince's physical condition, it would probably only take half a year.

This is also a temptation for him.

Many officials who were about to leave also stopped and looked at the veteran of the three dynasties.

Hearing this, Yan Ziqing opened his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, glanced at the crowd, shook his head and said: "Everyone should know the rules of Jingcha."

"It's not the old man who has the final say on this matter, but..."

Yan Ziqing pointed to the palace behind, and that's all for now.

If the prince is willing, he can naturally investigate slowly. When and to what extent he wants to investigate is just a matter of one sentence.

But if the crown prince is unwilling, then this matter is a bone-eviscerating knife. Every time the knife falls, it will be a bloodbath, and I don't know how many people will be involved in it.

Yan Ziqing smiled, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked away.

He could sell face, but the crown prince obviously wouldn't, otherwise he wouldn't have promoted Shen Du to be the right censor of Yushitai.

It is said that he is jointly responsible with himself, but to put it bluntly, it is to silence the public, lest someone say that Shen Du is not qualified enough, and to share the anger of some courtiers.

In fact, it is very simple to survive, as long as you write a confession and submit it to the East Palace, maybe the crown prince will not be too harsh, and will give you a decent one.

It's a pity that everyone understands the truth, but few people are willing to do it.

Everyone was a little more disappointed, and they obviously heard the meaning of Yan Ziqing's words.

"Old Liu Ge, what should we do now?"

Someone looked at Liu Chengzhi, the second assistant, hoping that he could come up with an idea.

There was a cold light in Liu Chengzhi's eyes, he shook his sleeves and walked outside the palace, saying: "The old man is hosting a banquet in the mansion tonight, if you want to come, you can come and have a seat."

When everyone heard the words, they all bowed their hands in response.

After everyone left, the originally lively Xuanzheng Hall suddenly became much quieter.

……

East Palace, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

As soon as Xia Jingyi stepped into the hall, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered, and his face turned pale.

Although the elixir can maintain his body for a short time, once the effect of the medicine wears off, the side effects will be extremely obvious.

"Your Highness..."

Lu Chengen quickly stretched out his hand to support Xia Jingyi, and channeled a burst of true energy.

But soon, Lu Chengen discovered that after the true energy entered Xia Jingyi's body, it dissipated in the blink of an eye, leaving not much at all.

Now Xia Jingyi's body is no different from a sieve.

Lu Chengen's face suddenly changed.

Xia Jingyi smiled softly, not caring about her body, with a trace of nostalgia in her eyes, and calmly said: "The state just now, it seems that Gu has not experienced it for a long time."

"I'm very happy today!"

Xia Jingyi broke free from Lu Chengen's support, walked towards the yellow flower chair on the side of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "I have been in charge of the country for more than [-] years, but I have not been able to expand the territory for my Great Yan. I am ashamed of my ancestors, and even more ashamed of the people of Dayan. "

"Now I only wish to use my broken body to complete this matter."

"There is no regret in this matter."

Lu Chengen hesitated to speak, pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, do you really want to investigate this matter thoroughly?"

"I'm afraid it will involve the princes and princes of the country, and even several members of the Six Departments will be involved."

There are quite a few relatives of the emperor in this capital, and there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

Jingcha first started with officials from Beijing and China, and these people will inevitably be implicated.

Xia Jingyi chuckled, shook her head and said, "I know."

"But Gu has to do this. Everything should have a result after all."

Xia Jingyi didn't want to talk more about this topic, sighed, got up and walked towards the bed in the side hall.

"Lonely and tired."

"I just want to rest..."

……

Shen Du left the palace and soon returned to the main helm of Gyeonggi.

Once the chief rudder called together a group of people.

"Everyone, I have something to do next."

Everyone was taken aback, and looked at Shen Du in surprise.

Shen Du picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Today's court meeting, His Highness has announced the resumption of Beijing inspection, and a thorough investigation of Dayan's officialdom."

"And this matter will be jointly responsible by Mr. Yan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and this official."

"Jingcha?!"

Cheng Zhenlei suddenly showed shock and let out an exclamation.

He is an old man with six doors, and he has lived in Beijing for a long time, so he naturally understands the weight of the word "Jingcha".

When the news spread, it was enough to cause a sensation in the officialdom of Dayan.

As for the rest of the people, most of them don't even know what Jingcha is.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhenlei took the initiative to explain to everyone.

After hearing what Cheng Zhenlei said, everyone was shocked, and finally realized the weight of the word "Jingcha".

Xu Chong grinned and said, "My lord, does this mean that we can raid the house again?"

He is a rough man by nature, so he doesn't think so much.

Anyway, this matter is an adult, even if it is investigated, it is impossible to find them.

Ever since I came to the capital, I haven't ransacked my house for a long time, and my hands are rusty.

Everyone looked at Xu Chong helplessly.

Xu Chong is simple-minded and doesn't know what this matter means, but they are very clear.

This is not an easy job.

Which one of those officials in Beijing, the Duke and Lord, is easy to get along with.

Hearing Xu Chong's opening, Shen Du suddenly thought of Kong Wen's matter, and asked, "Did Shaolin make a move?"

"Yes!" Xu Chong nodded, with lingering fear on his face, he said, "A divine monk called Kongzhi came from Shaolin."

"The old monk is still a strong man of Dharma. If Master Cui and the others hadn't stepped forward, they might have slapped me to death."

Shen Du frowned slightly.

The strong man of law...

He originally thought that Yuantong was the most who came out from Shaolin.

Now there is a strong man of Dharma.

Kong Wen, Kong Zhi...

Shen Du smiled coldly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm really willing to spend my money."

Obviously, this Kongzhi should have come to Yan State together with Kongwen, but Kongwen went to Yinzhou halfway to rob and kill himself.

At this moment, a six-door policeman from outside came to report that the Ninth Prince came to visit.

Shen Du waved his way, signaling for everyone to leave temporarily.

"Let him in."

If it were someone else, when they heard that the Ninth Prince was coming, they should go to greet him, but Shen Du was obviously too lazy to go.

What's more, it was the Ninth Prince who came to see him, not him.

What is the purpose of the Ninth Prince, he can roughly guess in his mind.

A moment later, Ninth Prince Xia Xicheng came from outside the courtyard, followed by an eunuch, carrying some gifts in his hands.

"Master Shen."

Xia Xicheng smiled and cupped his hands, and said, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit."

"A little bit of courtesy, I hope Mr. Shen will not be disgusted with it."

Having said that, it is obviously not a simple gift that can be brought by Xia Jingyi.

Shen Du returned the salute with a smile, shook his head and said, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is very polite."

"You don't get paid for nothing, I dare not accept this gift."

"I don't know that His Highness Ninth Prince came to the door suddenly today, but what's the matter?"

Although Xia Xicheng also gave people the feeling of being a virtuous corporal, but in Shen Du's view, this feeling was too fake.

Maybe he is too young, but he has the faint shadow of a prince.

In a sense, perhaps the Ninth Prince has been imitating the Prince.

But the innate demeanor of the prince cannot be imitated.

Xia Xicheng's face froze obviously, Shen Du was so direct, it was difficult for him to speak for a while.

Xia Xicheng sighed in embarrassment, and said softly: "Since Mr. Shen has said so, then I will not hide it."

"Master Shen, you also know that the eminent monks of Shaolin were invited by the palace, and I have some friendship with the eminent monks. I don't know if the corpse of Master Kongwen outside the city gate is okay..."

"no!"

Before Xia Xicheng could speak, Shen Du ruthlessly interrupted him.

The smile on Xia Xicheng's face faded a little, and his expression was not good.

He had no choice but to come to the door today, but now that Shen Du rejected him, he naturally couldn't hold back his face.

He even came to the door in person, and the etiquette can be said to be sufficient.

He is also a dignified prince, so why would he be so troublesome if he were someone else.

In fact, Shaolin didn't ask him for this matter, but this time Shaolin came with a strong Dharma image, Xia Xicheng was naturally tempted.

Although a strong Dharma image may not necessarily be able to change the situation, but at critical moments, it can exert tremendous power.

Xia Xicheng asked unwillingly: "Lord Shen, the left and right are just a head, how about I be a peacemaker?"

"Ha ha!"

Shen Du laughed out loud, half-smile and said: "Your Highness Ninth Prince, I am afraid that even if I am willing, Shaolin will not be willing either!"

He can assure you that Shaolin never sought out Xia Xicheng.

Xia Xicheng just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to give him a favor because he saw a strong Dharma image coming from Shaolin.

Shaolin is the righteous way in the world and pays attention to reputation, no matter what happens, it will have to inherit Xia Xicheng's favor.

The most difficult debt in the world to repay is the debt of favor.

But if you want them to make peace, just listen to this kind of nonsense.

Although Xia Xicheng was the Ninth Prince, he didn't have that much face. Even if he stepped forward, it wouldn't change anything.

If it were really that simple, then Shaolin would not be Shaolin.

Xia Xicheng's face was a little ugly.

Shen Du shook his head, and said lightly: "Your Highness Ninth Prince, I might as well tell you one thing."

"It wasn't just Kong Wen who robbed and killed me in Yinzhou, but also the second floor owner of Jinfeng Tower, Bai Yuanjun."

"If His Highness the Ninth Prince doesn't know, you can send someone to inquire about his identity."

Shen Durao glanced at Xia Xicheng meaningfully, and said quietly: "I wonder if people from Shaolin have informed His Highness the Ninth Prince about this?"

"Or, Shaolin robbed and killed this official, was it secretly ordered by His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

"Never mind!"

As soon as Shen Du finished speaking, Xia Xicheng's face changed slightly, and he immediately vetoed it.

"This palace has never had such an idea."

Even if he really has an idea, it needs Shaolin's support.

What's more, he didn't even know where Shen Du was.

Xia Xicheng's face suddenly darkened.

Shen Du smiled softly, and said lightly: "Your Highness, you regard Shaolin as a friend, but Shaolin may not regard you as a friend."

Xia Xicheng is not a fool, so he naturally knows what Shen Du's words mean.

Two Dharma strong men, does he really have such a big face?
No matter how conceited he was, he wouldn't feel that way.

When did Shaolin get involved with Jinfeng Tower again?
Moreover, he ran to rob and kill Shen Du, and even dispatched a strong Dharma image.

He didn't think it was all for him.

Even when Shaolin Kongzhi entered Beijing, if he hadn't fought Cui Jingsheng at the city gate to reveal his identity, he would have been kept in the dark until now.

Obviously, Shaolin was doing things behind his back.

Xia Xicheng looked gloomy, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Shen, I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"It's my palace taking the liberty."

Shen Du put down his teacup, smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, go slowly!"

"I still have official duties, so I won't be far away."

Xia Xicheng didn't answer, but got up and left the courtyard.

Xia Xicheng walked out of the gate with a gloomy expression, and said coldly, "Go, go to the other courtyard in the inner city!"

He hates being used!
Everyone, Xia Xicheng's face was gloomy, he was slightly startled, and he didn't dare to hesitate, he hurriedly drove the car and rushed to the other courtyard in the inner city.

……

Not long after Xia Xicheng left, Cui Jingsheng came to the main helm of Gyeonggi.

Now the news about Jingcha in the court has been completely spread out.

For ordinary people, it is just a fun, looking forward to how many officials and lords will be beheaded in the vegetable market in a few days, but for people in the officialdom, it is tantamount to turning the world upside down.

Many officials were panicked, and many people even begged for the residences of several princes.

In the officialdom, it is difficult to be alone, especially in this capital.

The six doors also learned of this matter.

In the case of Jingcha, the six doors are no exception.

Cui Jingsheng stepped into the courtyard, staring at Shen Du intently, secretly startled.

This breath...

Originally, he didn't really believe in the fact that Shen Du beheaded Kong Wen, but now that he saw Shen Du with his own eyes, he believed it somewhat.

Shen Du frowned slightly, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Cui."

Cui Jingsheng frowned slightly.

He faintly heard a hint of alienation from Shen Du's tone.

what happened?

Maybe an illusion.

Cui Jingsheng didn't think too much, but asked, "Did you really kill Kong Wen?"

Shen Du nodded with a smile, and said, "That's right, but it's all thanks to Eunuch Lu."

Cui Jingsheng sighed, he didn't know what to say for a while, and his mood was a little complicated.

Originally thought that Shen Du would take at least several years to reach this point, but unexpectedly, it was far beyond his expectation.

It's really rare at such an age!
Times make heroes, but they don't know that heroes make times.

Cui Jingsheng said in a deep voice, "What happened to Kong Wen?"

"There are rumors in Beijing that it was Kongwen who attacked and killed Yinzhou. Is this true?"

Although the news spread with a nose and eyes, he still wanted to verify it himself.

Shen Du glanced at Cui Jingsheng and said calmly, "I was the one who released the news."

Shen Du didn't hide anything, and told Cui Jingsheng about Yinzhou.

The expression on Cui Jingsheng's face gradually changed from indifference to shock.

"The second floor owner of Jinfeng Building?"

I thought it was just one person in the air, but I didn't expect that even Jinfenglou would get involved.

Although Shen Du had been talking about the affairs of Yinzhou, his gaze would turn to Cui Jingsheng from time to time, observing the changes in his expression.

There are some things he doesn't want to think about, but he has to.

After listening to what Shen Du said, Cui Jingsheng fell silent for a moment.

Please move the second floor master of Jinfeng Building, the two Dharma elephants of Shaolin, I am afraid that this is no longer something that a certain prince can do.

At least the Ninth Prince doesn't have this ability.

Clearly, there is a big fish behind this.

The princes are indeed distinguished, but they are young after all, and they seem to have a lot of people to rely on, but they may not be able to have such great power.

"correct."

"Nowadays there are rumors in Beijing that the crown prince wants to restart Jingcha. Could it be related to your departure from Beijing?"

Shen Du smiled and nodded: "That's right."

Cui Jingsheng suddenly realized that, in this way, everything became clear.

If Shen Du had died on the way back to Beijing, then naturally there would be no Beijing inspection.

Cui Jingsheng sighed: "However, the danger involved in this matter is not small."

He didn't expect the crown prince to entrust Shen Du with such a heavy responsibility.

If it was before, this would definitely be a step up to the sky, but now...

This is an offending job.

Shen Du chuckled lightly, and said indifferently, "Just let the horse come over!"

"Could it be that there are worms, wolves, tigers and leopards on the road ahead, so we don't go forward? Or avoid it far away?"

"They are terrified to kill with a knife, and it is reasonable to let them take the initiative to retreat!"

Today is different from the past, not to mention that this is Yanjing City, why should he be timid.

There are only so many strong Dharma elephants in the world, if they really have the ability to enter Yanjing City, they will not invite Shaolin.

Cui Jingsheng was taken aback for a moment, and soon a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.

The four words "face up to difficulties" are simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to actually do it.

Looking at the sky outside the courtyard, Shen Du felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation and coldness in his heart, and said with a sneer, "I also want to know who is capable of taking off my head."

……

inner city courtyard,

As soon as the carriage of Ninth Prince Xia Xicheng stopped, Xia Xicheng jumped out of the carriage, opened the door and entered with a gloomy expression.

"Amitabha!"

When Ji An, who was practicing in the courtyard, saw Xia Xicheng, he smiled and walked up to him quickly.

"Your Highness Ninth."

Xia Xicheng ignored him, and walked directly to the room in the courtyard.

Not long after, Yuantong who got the news came out quickly, clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

Xia Xicheng sneered and said, "Master Yuantong, you guys are really good at hiding things."

Yuantong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what His Highness Jiu's words mean?"

"what for?"

Xia Xicheng looked at Yuantong coldly, and said coldly: "Since when did you Shaolin have anything to do with Jinfeng Tower?"

"Master Kongwen and the second owner of the Jinfeng Building robbed and killed Shen Du in Yinzhou, and Master Kongzhi came to Beijing. It was well concealed."

"If others didn't talk about this matter, wouldn't this palace never know?"

"I'm afraid you didn't come to help me when you came to Beijing, did you?"

"Since this is the case, it seems that our cooperation is unnecessary."

He needs Shaolin, but he doesn't have to have Shaolin.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and a very oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire courtyard.

Everyone present felt an indescribable sense of heaviness.

Xia Xicheng looked at him, and what he saw was a gloomy old face, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

Xia Xicheng was startled by that murderous intent.

"How did you find out about this?"

"But Shen Du told you?"

Although he is the Ninth Prince, Kong Zhi's words were never polite.

Although Xia Xicheng didn't answer, Kong Zhi already had the answer in his heart.

Kongzhi's face turned cold, as if a gust of wind was wrapped around him, he stepped away from the other courtyard with a strong and terrifying aura.
