Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 88: The Prince's Young Master, the Queen invites you (please collect and read)
Hongshuang is well aware that her disadvantage lies in her background, and in this case, she naturally wants to make up for it by using her own advantages in every possible way.

Although I was only doing art and not selling my body when I was in Yixianglou, I was still influenced by it a lot.

When it was time to go to court the next day, Su Ran crawled out of the gentle countryside of Hongshuang.

He took away the list of fifty officials, and let Hongshuang temporarily keep the books and other items.

Among these officials, there are local magistrates and magistrates, as well as officials of all sizes in Beijing.

However, no matter where they serve, they are generally below the third rank, and the highest one is only a third-rank commander.

Despite this, it is a matter of life and death after all, so Emperor Qingyong must take another look at this list before taking action.

Otherwise, if he regrets it at some point, or if there is someone he doesn't want to kill, it will be troublesome.

After the morning meeting, Su Ran handed over the list.

Emperor Qingyong only glanced at the list and immediately agreed.

Although this matter seemed to be just a formality, in Su Ran's view, this formality was necessary.

After Su Ran returned home, he immediately wrote three secret letters and sent them out.

Since these officials were distributed throughout the Daqing Dynasty, it was impossible for Su Ran to carry out them all in person.

The best candidates to perform this task are Chao Heng, Mori and Lu Baichuan.

Su Ran assigned tasks to these officials according to their regions.

As for the few other Beijing officials, in order to avoid too many people knowing, they had no choice but to take matters into their own hands.

Within the next half month, the Ministry of Justice received reports one after another of officials dying suddenly.

On the first day of May, Zhili Prefecture Tong slipped and fell into the water and died.

On the third day of May, the deputy forward commander of the forward battalion died naked on the bed of Liu Ruochan, a famous prostitute in the capital.

On the sixth day of May, while patrolling the tea ceremony in Jiujiang, he threw himself into a well and died.

On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, Ruzhou Tongju died of a sudden illness without any warning.

……

At the beginning, the Ministry of Punishment would send officials to conduct investigations together with local governments.

But as the number of officials who died mysteriously increased, the adults in the Criminal Department immediately smelled something unusual.

In the latter cases, they basically went through the motions, but in the end there were no breakthrough conclusions, and they were all classified as accidents.

Of course, it may also be that someone greeted the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so the Ministry of Criminal Justice knew that there was no need to ask about such things.

The Ministry of Justice didn't ask, but that didn't mean the matter was over.

The Zhen family would never react without any reaction. Emperor Qingyong knew this very well.

Of course, as the executor, Su Ran also knew it very well.

He had a hunch that the Zhen family was dormant and gathering momentum at this time, and there would definitely be a powerful counterattack in the near future.

The only uncertainty is how this counterattack will appear.

When all fifty officials were sentenced, Emperor Qingyong fulfilled his promise.

On the last day of May, Su Ran changed from the Minister of the Ministry of War to the Young Master of the Prince. As for the Minister of the Ministry of War, the walk in the South Study Room remained the same.It is precisely because of the addition of such a prince and junior teacher that Su Ran does not have to attend the morning court every day.

Although he is still in the second rank now, his status has been improved a lot because of his relationship with the Crown Prince.

But the problem now is that I am just a martial artist, what can I teach the prince?
Could it be that Emperor Qingyong wanted him to teach them how to kill?
Another point is that the crown prince of the Daqing Dynasty has not yet been determined, and all three princes are possible.

So, although Su Ran is the prince's young teacher, he actually has to teach the three princes at the same time.

The biological mothers of these three princes are the empress, the noble concubine, and Concubine Xiao, who originally married Jia Yuanchun with Emperor Qingyong.

In addition, there is another problem. Among the three princes, the eldest is only seven years old and the youngest is only four. I don’t know what Emperor Qingyong thinks when he is asked to teach such a young child.

However, although there are doubts in my heart, this kind of thing cannot be refused.

After all, it is a sign of extreme trust.

Entrusting the crown prince of a country to you to teach is no joke.

Of course, not only Su Ran himself was paying attention to this matter, but also the people behind the three princes.

Su Ran had just been named the Prince's Young Master, and the current Empress, the mother of the eldest prince Hong Dan, sent an invitation to Su Ran to come to the palace for a chat.

Before this, although Su Ran was the minister of the Ministry of War and also served as a clerk in the south study room, he definitely did not have the qualifications to set foot in the harem.

Of course, these ladies in the harem will not summon you easily on weekdays.

It's not because you are not qualified, but because they don't need to go through you to handle things. There are too many people who want to do things for them.

But things are different now. With the title of Prince's Young Master, if these ladies want to summon you, you have to go.

Especially under the current circumstances, the three princes are all candidates for the crown prince, and it is not good to offend anyone.

Therefore, as soon as the Empress summoned her, Su Ran immediately went to Zhongcui Palace.

Regarding these empresses, after Su Ran had just received the post of Prince's Young Master, he went to do some research with Li Quanzhong, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The empress's father was Fan Tingyu, the right prime minister. Fan Tingyu was named right prime minister only after Emperor Qingyong ascended the throne, mainly to balance the power of left prime minister Feng Bingyuan.

Therefore, the queen of the Daqing Dynasty was deeply favored by Emperor Qingyong.

As for the imperial concubine, although Emperor Qingyong was not too fond of her, she was pointed out to her by Emperor Qingkang himself.

It was originally intended to be conferred, but because the empress gave birth to the prince one step earlier, she lost the position of harem lord.

However, her status is also extremely noble. Her father is Feng Bingyuan, the left prime minister who had suppressed Su Ran many times.

There is another Concubine Xiao, the mother of the third prince Hongyan. Her brother is the current Jingying Jiedushi, Han Zijing. He controls the nine gates of the palace and cannot afford to offend her.

Although Su Ran and Feng Bingyuan were at odds, the prince was innocent, so in Su Ran's eyes, there was no prejudice against the second prince Hongqi.

After all, what a country needs is a wise and wise king, and it has little to do with your origin.

Su Ran has already made a plan, try not to involve the imperial concubine and the prince during the festival between himself and Feng Bingyuan.

Of course, he also knew very well that matters involving the crown prince were not his own to have the final say. Although there were many factors involved, the final decision had to be made by Emperor Qingyong.

Therefore, for the time being, Su Ran just wanted to do his part and teach the three princes what he could, and did not want to get involved in other things.
