Chapter 290 Entering the City
It is said that the emperor is difficult to do, but in fact, the prince is even more difficult to do.
On the surface, the brothers stared at each other with fierce eyes, and secretly whispered swords and swords. One was more ruthless than the other, and no one was convinced. The court officials were even more in conflict with interests and stood in their own way. If they fought hard and offended the emperor, the prince would have no hope.
It’s ridiculous that the Deng family can’t see through this truth, and they also expect another queen to come up with the prince to press forward step by step towards the prince’s marriage. In fact, if they really think about the prince and help him marry a granddaughter of a great scholar, it would be much better than marrying a cousin of the Deng family.
I can only say that everyone has personal interests. When it comes to personal interests, everyone is short-sighted, so naturally the Deng family and Empress Dowager Deng cannot escape the vulgarity.
Empress Dowager Deng has always been involved in the government affairs. She has an extra prince of the Deng family's blood, which is naturally a threat to Suzong. It's ridiculous that none of these people can be seen. If the Deng family presses step by step, something big will happen soon.
King Ying thought about the position of the Deng family and Empress Deng, and then the position of the Empress Deng and Suzong, and felt that this matter was very profitable.
The Deng family wanted the prince to leave the palace for Queen Mother Deng to sacrifice, and the sacrifice was the queen mother's father, Duke Deying. Logically speaking, there was no problem.
However, for Suzong, he was not willing to see the prince so close to his foreign family. Therefore, Suzong issued an order to ask the King Ying, who was far away in Luoyang to return to the capital to replace the prince, and to attend the sacrifices to Princess Deying of the Deng family.
King Ying thought that the marriage between the Deng family and the prince would not be successful in the end. However, if you can help the fire and then make a profit, you have to ask Yan Yuanchu. In this regard, Yan Yuanchu is a good player. He is the best at making trouble and making profits.
King Ying was thinking about the conflict between the Deng family and Suzong, and his carriages were almost at the capital.
Even if the King of Ying wants to enter the city in a low-key manner, he is the brother of Suzong, the prince with a title, and many safety and ceremonial affairs are still necessary.
It turned out that the one lying in the coffin was the boy who was killed on the Qianxun Wharf last night. His name was Zhang Kai, who was only fourteen years old. His parents had a son in middle age, and he was just such a treasure. Who knew that when Zhang Kai got off the boat at the Qianxun Wharf last night, he was cut off his throat and separated forever.
"What, who is this!"
Everyone was talking, and the King of Ying heard it inside the carriage and horse, so he opened the curtain and asked Mingzhong, "What happened ahead."
King Ying nodded, feeling a little ridiculous. He knew that he was going to enter the city, but who did he dare to put the coffin in the middle of the road.
"The coffin is actually a coffin!"
However, when a person dies like a lamp that goes out, he must be buried in peace. Therefore, the Zhang family brought the child's coffin and planned to transport it back to their hometown outside Fucheng Gate to hold the funeral, and then slowly worry about it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the King of England showed up, a large number of people fell to the ground crying and making a fuss, asking the King of England to make the decision for them.
"Prince," after entering the city, Mingzhong resumed his name, "There is a coffin in front of him blocking the road, and the guard Ma is taking his people away."
All the external affairs of the Ying Prince's Mansion were handed over to Ma Dai. After Ma Dai got the order, he fought with the guards of the Jinyiwei and rode his horse to the city gate to open the way.
The Zhang family is in the Canal Wharf and has been operating a silk shop for many years. Although they are not rich, they still have some connections. It was found that the matter at Qianxun Wharf last night was unusual. I heard that someone specifically assassinated the child of September 16, 13th year of Yongjia. This matter is strange, not to mention all kinds of strangeness. Why did their children go to Qianxun Wharf at that time? Zhang Kai's father naturally had to investigate.
A sentence is like a stone thrown into the water, causing countless discussions.
King Ying and his party returned to the capital from Fucheng Gate to the west. The guards of the city gate received news about Ma Dai, and they blocked the people passing by early in the morning and left the road gate.
The King of England was forced to come out of the carriage and showed up.
"Madai," said the King of England in the carriage, "you go with them."
It makes sense for the guards to ask this question. The access control in the capital was very strict. Just now, just dawn, the troops of King Ying and his team returned to the capital together. There were obviously guards and Jinyiwei in their convoy. When a discerning person saw it, he knew that they were the troops of the vassal king. If he did not show his identity, he was afraid that something would happen in the future and the guards at the city gate would be difficult to explain.
The King of England had no choice but to show the prince's identity in the praise of the people's gratitude, and had to agree to help find the murderer and give the Zhang family an explanation.
Zhang Kai's parents are over fifty years old and run several silk shops in the capital. They just hope that such a single seedling will inherit the family business. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kai died unexpectedly, and his parents naturally cried to death.
Suddenly, the guard in front of the King of England yelled, "Which thing is this? Move it away!"
The people in the capital are used to seeing high-ranking officials and great figures. Now they see the British King's carriage and horses, and their expressions are very normal, and they bow their heads to avoid them.
When everyone saw King Ying, they knew that he was mostly a royal family member. After all, he was so old that he was not a high-ranking official.
It happened that when the Zhang family's team arrived at Fuchengmen, they met a big man and entered the city. The Zhang family felt that they were a big man and could always go to Datian to listen, so they did not care about everything and started to make trouble. I hope this big man can help them.
When the King of Ying's convoy arrived at Fuchengmen, they saw the people being stopped by the soldiers. Because Ma Dai did not announce his identity, the people only knew that the person who came was a big man, but they didn't know that the person sitting in the carriage was King of Ying, Suzong's younger brother.
The Jinyiwei left by Wang Jinpeng came to the carriage and asked King Ying for instructions, "The third young master, and he still has a cup of tea, the carriage is about to enter the city. I don't know if the young master wants to show his waist sign."
"This Qingming Festival is said to visit the grave to worship ancestors, so why are there still people burying coffins today!"
The Zhang family was naturally grateful and kept kowtowing. It was said that the King of England was a good prince who understood the people's sentiments. The King of England was unwilling to be so eye-catching, but he went against his original intention and was taken to such a position. He was a little unwilling to do so.
But with so many people watching, King Ying couldn't show his displeasure in his heart. He just perfunctorily responded and agreed.
Ma Dai was very happy. The matter of being in Lu'anbang's farm last night was inseparable from the matter of Qianxun Wharf. This time, we could go and investigate together. He felt that his Jinyiwei was not very buried when he arrived at the Ying Prince's Mansion.
Apart from the cheerful and high-spirited Ma Dai, the guards of the King of Ying’s Mansion, are all very low-key. After all, the King of Ying has always kept everyone low-key over the years. Don’t be arrogant. What people are afraid of is naturally what people say.
