Chapter 119 Mission
Cao Huachun, now thirty-nine years old, entered the palace at a young age. Because he was smart since he was a child, he was also diligent and studious. The good education he received in the palace made him poor in poetry, calligraphy and painting. Cao Huachun was appreciated by the eunuch Wang An.
And became his confidant, but because of this, he was in bad luck. After Wei Zhongxian took care of Wang An, Cao Huachun was sent to Nanjing.
Perhaps because of being squeezed out by Eunuch Wei, after Eunuch Wei fell, Zhang Yan went through the resumes of the eunuchs in the palace and easily found the person who was persecuted by Wei Zhongxian. Anyone who was suppressed by Wei Zhongxian was one of his own, Zhang Yan
When Yan was rectifying the eunuchs in the palace, she made Zou Yi the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and the vacancy vacated by Zou Yi was given to Cao Huachun.
Cao Huachun suddenly became a phoenix, but there is a saying that a person with ability can do it wherever he goes. After Cao Huachun accepted the Yuma Jian, he managed the Yumajian stall in a more orderly manner. Zhang Yan felt that,
I didn't choose the wrong person.
This time, Zhang Yan plans to let Cao Huachun go to Zhejiang to perform a mission, not only because of his talent, but also because Cao Huachun has stayed in Nanjing for several years before and knows the situation there better. Once there is an emergency, it will be easier
Coping. Being able to think so far, it can be seen that Zhang Yan is not short-sighted.
Zou Yi was working in the duty room of the Royal Horse Prison at the moment. When he heard about the Empress Dowager's summons, he hurried to Cining Palace. After seeing the etiquette, Zhang Yan did not greet him politely and said directly: "Today's memorial submitted by Yue Su,
You can hear the content above."
As the top three eunuchs in the Forbidden City, how could he not have heard of such things? The speed at which he got the news was not unusually fast. He did not evade the Queen Mother's question, and nodded and said, "Slave, listen.
Said."
"Perhaps you don't know the reason why my uncle died in Hangzhou. At that time, the Ai family wanted you to know." After saying that, Zhang Yan took out the letter from her sleeve and said, "Take a look for yourself
.”
"Yes, Queen Mother." Cao Huachun stepped forward slowly and took the letter from Zhang Yan. Like Zou Yi last night, he also returned to his original place and let it go to watch. After reading it, he didn't say much and looked down.
Stand with your head up.
"This is a secret letter from my uncle, what do you think?" Zhang Yan asked calmly.
"I don't dare to speak nonsense about such a big matter," Cao Huachun said.
"If you don't dare, just say it," Zhang Yan said.
"I think this secret letter can only be regarded as hearsay without any evidence. If Uncle Guo is not dead, it will be no different from waste paper. But now that Uncle Guo is dead, the weight of this secret letter is different.
"There is a saying that the authorities are confused and the beholder is clear. Zhang Guoji and Mrs. Taikang are both members of the authorities, but their intelligence is far different. How can you tell. Zhang Yan has a superior mind, but she belongs to the authorities. Zou Yi also
He can be regarded as a half-authority, because he is somewhat partial to Yue Su in his heart. Of course, being able to see this is also related to his IQ. Zou Yi is old after all.
After hearing what Cao Huachun said, Zhang Yan couldn't help but trembled, took a breath of cold air, and secretly begged: "This is absolutely correct. If my brother is not dead, take this letter back, this letter can
It is said that it is not worth a penny. But now that he is dead, the value of this letter will be reflected. At that time, my brother would never deliberately sacrifice himself to frame Yue Su. What is going on? What on earth is my brother doing?
Is it possible for Yue Su to kill him?"
Zhang Yan thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason. She looked at Cao Huachun again and said: "Cao Huachun, according to you, the death of the uncle has nothing to do with Yue Su?"
"I don't dare to judge. I don't know the cause and effect of this matter at all. If I know the whole story, I might be able to see some clues from it." Cao Huachun said cautiously.
"Okay, the Ai family will call the person who followed my brother to Hangzhou and ask him to explain the cause and effect. You can help the Ai family analyze it."
"Yes, I obey the order..."
Zhang Yan followed up and issued an order, asking those from her natal family who had gone to Hangzhou with her brother to come to the Forbidden City for questioning. As soon as the order arrived at the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Guoji and Mrs. Taikang couldn't sit still. They didn't care that they were not mentioned in the order, and they started arguing.
They rushed to come together.
After all, they were the Queen Mother's biological father and mother, and the eunuchs who delivered the order did not dare to stop them, so they had no choice but to let the two elders follow. Liu Su and Kang Yuan also came with them.
When they arrived at Cining Palace, Liu Su and Kang Yuan immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the Queen Mother after entering. Zhang Guoji and his wife, on the other hand, knelt down and cried. They were so sad that they cried.
Because there were outsiders around, Zhang Yan had to take her status into consideration. She didn't get up to help him like yesterday, but just said: "Get down quickly and don't cry anymore. The Ai family has its own affairs concerning the uncle."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Liu Su and Kang Yuan helped the two elders to stand up, and then heard Zhang Yan say: "I have summoned you here today because I have something to ask the people who followed my uncle to Hangzhou. Have they ever arrived?"
"Little Liu Su and Kang Yuan are the ones who went to Hangzhou with their uncle Guo." Liu Su replied quickly.
Zhang Yan nodded, looked at Cao Huachun who was standing aside, and said, "Cao Huachun, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask."
"What do you have to ask?" Seeing that her daughter wanted to be questioned by a eunuch, Mrs. Taikang immediately became anxious. She cried and shouted: "The evidence is conclusive that Yue Su intended to rebel and kill your brother. You were not the one yesterday."
Have you already issued an order to dismiss him and investigate? What are you going to ask today? Has the person who delivered the order gone out? I am still anxious to see Yue Su cut to pieces with a thousand knives."
"Mom, don't be impatient. My daughter will make her own decision." Zhang Yan did not get entangled with her mother. No matter what, the country was the most important thing. He winked at Cao Huachun, "Cao Huachun..."
"Yes, Queen Mother..."
Cao Huachun took a step forward, looked at Liu Su and Kang Yuan, and said calmly: "We have been asked by the Empress Dowager to ask questions, and we ask that you know the truth. After you follow my uncle to Zhejiang,
, I wonder what you have done? Who have you met, and have you messed with anyone?"
The Queen Mother was sitting on it. Liu Su dared not to answer. She immediately asked Zhang Zhongxin to tell him from beginning to end what happened after he arrived in Zhejiang, first to Huzhou, and then to Hangzhou. How Hun Sen warmly entertained him, and how they were assassinated together in the Huichun Hall.
, and the subsequent incident of Yue Su sending people to the inn to arrest people, were not left out. The only thing that was not told was those romantic stories.
When Cao Huachun heard that the inquiring information was led by Hun Sen's people, he felt something was wrong at the time. But when he heard that Hun Sen was also dead, his original thoughts suddenly became confused again. These contents were revealed yesterday.
The old lady had already told Zhang Yan, but not in such detail. Now Zhang Yan listened calmly. Her initial thoughts were the same as Cao Huachun's, suspecting Hun Sen. But when she heard that Hun Sen was also dead, she became equally confused.
In any case, Yue Su's suspicion of committing the crime is really high. But there is also something puzzling about why Hun Sen is so focused on helping Zhang Zhongxin and looking for evidence of Yue Su's crime.
Of course, the veteran Cao Huachun had to ask this question clearly. Zhang Yan also thought of this and wanted to hear the reason.
The reason for this is not clear to young men like Liu Su, but Zhang Guoji knows that it is illegal to conceal it, and it is related to revenge for his son. If he does not explain clearly, it is easy to blame the dead Hun Sen. Therefore,
He could only tell the story of his cooperation with Hun Sen in ocean-going trade and Yue Su's obstruction.
With this answer, it seemed logical for Hun Sen to help Zhang Zhongxin deal with Yue Su.
Zhang Yan asked Cao Huachun if he had any questions to ask. Cao Huachun said he had no questions, so Zhang Yan asked them to leave. But Mrs. Taikang couldn't leave so easily. She kept suffering and insisted on asking her daughter to seek justice for her son immediately. She issued an edict.
Yue Su was cut into pieces with a thousand swords. Zhang Yan had no choice but to talk perfunctorily and coaxed my mother away first. After they left, she asked Cao Huachun what he thought.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is really difficult to decide. We are far away in Beijing and can only rely on theory to analyze. The truth of the matter is too far away from us. The letter said that Master Yue's motive for rebellion is quite concrete.
In this way, at that time, Yue Su was deeply favored by the late emperor and was a minister of Tuogu, so how could he rebel? Now, it is best to wait for Mr. Yue to solve the case and see what kind of murderer he will be after the case is revealed, and the murderer's motives
What is it again? Of course, the Queen Mother can also send people to Zhejiang to conduct overt and covert investigations to see if she can find out some details about this case." Cao Huachun said.
"What you said is what the Ai family thought. The Ai family has ordered Yue Su to solve the case within a time limit. Yue Su has always been obsessed with solving cases. There is no case that cannot be solved. This case should not be difficult for him. If he cannot solve it, he will definitely
It's because he is deeply involved in it. If he randomly throws someone out to pay for the crime, it can also prove that he is the murderer. As for sending people to Zhejiang to check, the Ai family already has a candidate in mind, and that is you, Cao Huachun," Zhang Yan said
After finishing, he looked at Cao Huachun with a smile.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your appreciation." Of course Cao Huachun didn't want to go from the bottom of his heart. The Queen Mother said this at that time, and he could only answer this way.
"The Ai family came to you this time. Firstly, they want to ask your opinion on this case, and secondly, they want to send you to Zhejiang. For the original investigation, just arrange for someone from Dongchang to go there.
However, the Ai family has another plan, that is, if Yue Su really intends to rebel, and if the evidence is conclusive, the people who go there will secretly get rid of him. After all, Yue Su is Tuogu's minister, and the traces of his rebellion have not been revealed.
, it is really inappropriate to want to dismiss him and investigate. Especially if he really wants to rebel, it may not be useful to order him to be dismissed from his official position. Also, you can also investigate the Ai family, Zhejiang Commander-in-Chief Pei Xuan
, what is his intention, is he loyal to the court, or has he been won over by Yue Su." Zhang Yan told Cao Huachun all her plans.
