It is natural for Zhao Zhen to take office, but this makes some people even more frightened. After all, what they have done will eventually be exposed...
The folk rumors finally flew over the palace walls and reached Zhao Zhen's ears. He did not expect that the things he tried so hard to hide in the palace would now be known to even the people of Tokyo City.
Moreover, the clothes he wore had noses and eyes, which was almost the same as the truth. Zhao Zhen, who had just taken charge of the government, became furious instantly. He didn’t even want to tell his closest Yunzhong Lord, but now it was known to the whole world!
Slowly sitting on the throne of the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Zhen could only sigh helplessly: "Banning the inside and outside is just a joke!"
"Officials, these unruly people should be severely punished! This servant will send a message to the Imperial City Department and order people to arrest those who make irresponsible remarks about the Tian family!" Lan Jizong was so angry that he went crazy. In his opinion, this was simply an outrage.
Liu E's face was shattered. She had just been buried, and the Yongding Gate of Yongding Mausoleum was not closed tightly. The city of Tokyo had already begun to slander her.
Slandering Liu E is a small matter, but it is a slap in the face of the Tian family. For so many years, the Tian family has been a kind mother and a filial son. The Tian family's kindness and respectability have been completely lost.
The common people will think that the so-called saint is actually a liar who deceives the world and deceives the official family for many years, and the official family will become a joke who does not even know who his biological mother is!
Lan Jizong's angry look made Chen Tong, who was next to Zhao Zhen, also filled with indignation. The anger of the old and the young made Zhao Zhen wake up. After a long time, he was able to smile and said: "It is said that the heavenly family is as majestic as a mountain.
But the jokes in the palace also make people laugh at the world. This has been the case in all dynasties, and there is nothing unfair. But Ye An said, even if I am angry again, I can roar like a wild dog, but I will eventually let go.
Yes! Besides, what I said is not wrong, so I have the right to let it go without being too deeply implicated."
Lan Jizong and Chen Tong were a little sluggish. In their opinion, this matter could never be let go. Why would the officials pass it off so lightly?
Zhao Zhen looked at their expressions calmly, "They are not officials of the Song Dynasty, and they don't understand how many things are involved. It is definitely not an accident that people outside the palace know the secrets in the palace. If he is really angry and punishes severely, then he will
Falling into someone else's trap.
Looking at the personal officials outside the palace gate, Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Summon the Marquis of Yunzhong County to see you!"
Lan Jizong and Chen Tong looked at each other. In their opinion, the official's search for Ye An must be serious. Who knows that the official is close to Ye An and often called him around when he was still in the Zizheng Hall.
On the contrary, after the officials took charge of the government, they rarely summoned Ye An. Today's summons can be regarded as relieving the depression in his heart.
Chen Tong quickly went out to inform his chamberlain of the order, while Lan Jizong handed Zhao Zhen some tea and said, "Guan family, we haven't rested since the morning meeting!"
After Zhao Zhen took the tea and took a sip, he took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile: "Originally, it was easy to see the eldest lady running the government. Who would have thought that after I took charge, it would be extremely complicated, and I couldn't breathe from the documents!"
Seeing that Zhao Zhen was not unhappy at all when he mentioned Liu E, Lan Jizong felt a little more at ease: "The official is the emperor, unlike the former empress dowager, so naturally he has to think more carefully!"
"This emperor...hum..."
Seeing Zhao Zhen's disdainful snort, Lan Jizong did not dare to speak. Now the official family is already in charge, and it is no longer the official family under the wings of the former Queen Mother.
Ye An didn't know why Zhao Zhen suddenly summoned him, but he still adjusted his official uniform. Logically speaking, the uniform should be worn for three months, but in fact, there was no such rigid rule in the Song Dynasty.
After half a month of civil and military service in the DPRK, he was still wearing exquisite public uniforms, and he was no exception.
Follow the chamberlain to the Chongzheng Palace. This is where Zhao Zhen handles political affairs. It is also within the Great Internal Restriction. It is difficult for ordinary courtiers to be summoned by officials here.
When Chen Tong saw Ye An, he felt that he had met his savior. The official's temper had been bad these days, and he did not even go to Queen Guo a few times. Everyone in the palace was cautious, for fear of getting into trouble.
"Ouch! You are finally here, Marquis Ye. The official family has been in a bad mood these past few days. Please come and find some relief as soon as possible!"
Although he had a good relationship with Zhao Zhen, Ye An did not dare to neglect him. He frowned slightly and looked at Chen Tong's hand holding his sleeve and said: "You are becoming more and more unruly. If outsiders see it, I will also suffer the consequences."
Luo! I am a minister of the official family. How can I solve the troubles of the official family if I am not a relative or friend?"
Chen Tong smiled mockingly, put down Ye An's sleeves, and said with a grimace: "I admit my mistake, the official family is close to Ye Hou..."
"Even so, you still need to be summoned under the palace porch!"
Ye An glared at Chen Tong, frightening the little chamberlain, and said quickly: "I will report to the official now!"
After a while, Lan Jizong took Chen Tong out with square steps and nodded slightly to Ye An: "The official family summons the Marquis of Yunzhong County to see him!"
Ye An bowed and crossed his hands: "Ye An obeys the order!" Then he slowly walked into the palace door. If Lan Jizong was next to him, he whispered: "Master Lan needs to be more careful. There may be some instability in the palace recently."
Lan Jizong raised his eyebrows slightly, but soon his face became calm: "Thank you Marquis Ye for reminding me!"
These two simple words made Chen Tong's face change drastically. When he saw Ye An entering the palace, his arms in his sleeves couldn't help shaking, but Lan Jizong stepped on his feet hard and said without leaving a trace.
: "Look at your potential! Even if you lose your courage, you will still support someone!"
Chen Tong recovered after trembling briefly and whispered: "I know this!"
Zhao Zhen, who was in the palace, finally smiled when he saw Ye An coming in: "You are not doing this properly. The people in Tokyo are talking about Tianjia and slandering the Empress Dowager Xiang. The news has reached my ears, and you have not been seen.
Take action!"
Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "The holy book of the official family! I don't dare to touch it, and I can't move it! If we arrest the people and set up a literary prison without saying anything, it will scare the grass and scare the snake, and it will also confirm the affairs of the Tianjia. Wouldn't it be self-inflicted?"
?!"
"You know how to speak..." Zhao Zhen's smile gradually faded, and he said in a cold voice: "How is the investigation of the forbidden matter going?"
Ye An nodded slightly: "Go back to the official's house..." Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Zhen raised his hand to stop him. He looked at the wooden servant in the hall and said, "I am entering the back hall!"
Ye An nodded slowly. At this time, no one could really trust Zhao Zhen. The chamberlains who could follow him were all personally screened and selected by Chen Lin and Lan Jizong. Chen Tong even tried and warned him several times, but even if
Zhao Zhen didn't dare to believe it too much.
Walls have ears. He believed what Ye An said. The inside and outside of the ban were not isolated. Even Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and other veterans knew that his biological mother was not Liu E. They had never revealed it to him once in these years.
The high palace walls and the seemingly solid palace are actually the only one truly isolated, maybe the emperor himself...
