The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Chapter 375 Officials and the Abandoned Prince
Han Shiyan said and sighed.

"After the Flying Bird case, my uncle became seriously ill. Although he tried his best to hide it, it was obvious that Dr. Tang spent more time in the palace on duty."

"And Tang Dalang has also entered Taiyuan Hospital. Both father and son are good at maintaining health and extending life."

Gu Shiwei was slightly startled. This was a detail she had never paid attention to before.

"My uncle used his cousin Zhao Wei very highly for a period of time. When he was ill and on his bed, he was the prince's superintendent of the country and went directly to the court to serve as a trustee. And Zhao Weiyi was brought in to serve the soup and medicine in front of his uncle without knowing it. During that period, the deep love between father and son was simply A good story."

Han Shiyan said, feeling a little sad.

Today's official family is not prosperous, although he does not like the queen and dotes on the imperial concubine.

At that time, Zhao Wei was the eldest son of the middle palace. Although he did not have the appearance of a wise king, he was not a stupid person. For a long time after he was born, he was the only prince who stood firm in the palace.

"He is my uncle's first child, so he is different from others. Even the first character he learned to write was taught by officials personally. The palace painter also drew a picture album for Zhao Wei."

"But it was this picture album that caused trouble."

When Han Shiyan saw Gu Shiwei looking at him, he couldn't help but feel hot in his ears. He cleared his throat and said, "That day happened to be the prince's birthday, and the official family was not in good condition yet, so they only held a family banquet. I followed My grandma went with me.”

"The father and son remembered the picture album for some reason, so they asked someone to take it out and look at it. The first page of the picture album was a portrait of the prince when he was born, and the second page was about capturing Zhou. At that time, Zhao Wei captured the imperial seal."

At that time, the Feiqiao case was still far away, and the imperial seal was still in the hands of officials.

Han Shiyan was not yet born, and he didn't know why the jade seal was used to capture Zhou. All in all, the child in the painting was definitely holding the national seal in his arms.

"Not only was it a jade seal, but the baby in the painting also had a sharp sword under his feet. The officials' expressions changed when they saw it."

"Later, my mother-in-law also lamented that she couldn't remember whether Zhao Wei stepped on the sword back then, but she only remembered that the national seal was indeed real. And when Zhao Wei caught the national seal, the officials were very happy, not at all Like today."

Gu Shiwei listened carefully, feeling a little sad.

She thought about it and couldn't help but sigh, "The emperor was in his prime at that time, and Zhao Wei was just a child with barely grown teeth, and he caught the national seal. The emperor probably thought that he had a successor, and gave birth to such a chosen prince because he was so proud of himself."

"But when I looked again, he was already old and frail, and the prince was in his prime... The officials were suspicious of the prince."

The emperor's mind, who can really understand what he is thinking?

"Now that I think about it," Han Shiyan said with emotion. Firstly, because of his age, and secondly, her mother-in-law knew her family's worth and did not want to participate in the party struggle, so in fact, whether he was with the prince Zhao Wei or later Zhao Cheng, the son of the imperial concubine... they don't have a deep friendship with each other.

In his father's words, you are going to be a royal censor.

Once you have a good relationship with them, wouldn’t it make you embarrassed to scold them? No, no!
"At that time, the Feiqiao case was not investigated in depth, and the officials must have been deeply worried about it. During that period, they were even more suspicious of the people around them."

Han Shiyan paused as he spoke, "And Mr. Zhang Chunting also appeared during that period. In the past, the Imperial City Department acted in a low-key manner. After Mr. Zhang took over, it was obviously very different from before."

As he spoke, he remembered the word "senior brother" again, and cautiously asked Gu Shiwei tentatively:

"Master Zhang, is your senior brother?" Gu Shiwei nodded proudly, "That's not the case! In the future, I will be able to walk sideways with the Imperial City Division on my back!"

Han Shiyan felt a little sad, "Aren't you and I the same people who walked sideways in Bianjing City in the past?"

"No, no! Then I used to walk sideways because I could fight, but now I walk sideways because I can be considered a yameni! I have been a villain before, but I haven't been a bully yet!" Gu Shiwei said, his eyes full of joy. .

Han Shiyan only felt more sour.

Fortunately, Jing Li is not here. If he were, he might be able to smell it!
He shouldn't have mentioned it! And although he had already speculated before, now that it was confirmed, it was a wake-up call. He knew how much Zhang Chunting hated him. Even if the Imperial City Secretary and Yushitai were at odds in the past, he was not afraid of offending them.

But it was different now. He was not afraid of offending the imperial envoy, but he was afraid of offending his uncle.

He was also a fake brother-in-law who was not related to Gu Shiwei at all and was known as the most beautiful woman in Bianjing.

Han Shiyan thought about it, coughed, and continued to talk about the deposed prince Zhao Wei, "The official family resumed the early dynasty after that, and the prince made slight adjustments to the court affairs during his supervision. And because the official family had previously favored the prince, Too much, many courtiers think that the position of the East Palace is like a stone."

Han Shiyan did not elaborate, but Gu Shiwei understood.

As an emperor and a courtier, who doesn't want to dance around and flatter the future new emperor?
Let alone the ministers, the prince who was ordered to supervise the country and was doted on by the emperor's father would most likely also be in trouble!
"The officials previously trusted the prince, and when they saw him handling state affairs, they wouldn't even say that my great son has a fatherly style!"

"Now that I'm suspicious, I guess I'm not dead yet, so the retribution cub dares to jump up and down!"

Han Shiyan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Gu Shiwei's sigh.

"The words are rough but the truth is not rough. The officials suddenly started to attack the prince and support the young prince. I and the censor Guan have warned him several times, believing that those in power should not waver. Over time, the prince will lose his dignity in the court."

"But after two or three years, the father and son are still at odds with each other."

"On the Lantern Festival this year, a big event happened in the palace. Zhao Cheng, the son of the imperial concubine, suddenly suffered from acne. Someone discovered that there was bean scab hidden in the hydrangea given to Zhao Cheng by the prince."

"Although Zhao Cheng came over quickly, the official family was furious and intended to depose the prince. Then the prince hurriedly plotted a rebellion, and was suppressed by Zhang Chunting before causing much trouble..."

This was the first time Gu Shiwei heard the inside story.

At that time, when they were on their way to the Northern Dynasty, they heard Mr. Fu from the princeling party say that he wanted to plead for the prince, saying that he was wronged, but he did not say this in detail.

"Did the imperial concubine's party put the bean scab there themselves, or was it really the prince's doing?"

Han Shiyan shook his head when he heard this, "Everyone involved has been executed, and no one can tell clearly."

Gu Shiwei frowned, she did not forget the purpose of asking about deposing the prince.

The person she wanted to investigate was never the deposed prince, but Master Jiang who escaped from the deposed prince case.

"Then as Taishi Jiang is a princeling, why hasn't he been affected?"

She came to Bianjing not long after the Emperor of the Imperial City except the East Palace rebelled against the party. At that time, the people on the street were frightened when they saw the robe of the Emperor of the Imperial City, which shows how tragic the time was. So how can Taishi Jiang be on his own?
