Chapter 174 Everything has nothing to do with the prince!
Jingzhao Yamen
The two of them were talking when suddenly the gatekeeper came to report that Yu De, the censor of the capital procuratorate on the right side of the imperial court, and his party had arrived at the yamen. Jia Heng and Xu Lu looked at each other, then left the official hall and walked to the Yimen.
Not long after, a middle-aged official, who was wearing a fourth-grade scarlet color and an official robe embroidered with Xie Zhi patchwork. He was slightly short in stature. Surrounded by several scribes, he stepped into the courtyard and saw Jia Heng and Xu.
Lu, just smiled and stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting and said: "Master Xu, Master Jia, I'm late for my post."
It was actually a little past ten o'clock in the morning. Yu De summoned several scribes from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and rushed here.
Xu Lu opened his mouth and said: "Master Yu has come just in time. Master Jia has just found out the clues about Fan Yi's case. The two of us are discussing the matter. Master Yu can go to the official hall to talk."
When Yu De heard this, he looked surprised and looked at Jia Heng, saying, "Master Jia has found out the truth?"
In fact, looking at the young man in the flying fish suit at this moment, Yu De felt a little emotional. He had heard his incompetent son mention this person some time ago, saying that Han Hui, the son of Prime Minister Han, valued this person very much.
From what he thought, it was just a side branch of the Ningguo lineage. Not to mention a side branch, even the direct sect was not worth getting too close to, in case the Holy One was suspicious. He didn't want to be dazzled in just ten months, and the young man in front of him could no longer hear it.
A Baiding, he became the famous General Yunhui with a third-rank official position in the country.
Looking at what he has done, it is really frustrating.
Over here, Jia Heng didn't know what Yu De was thinking. After hearing the interrogation, he nodded at him and said in a deep voice: "There is a hidden secret in this matter."
In fact, he was hesitating whether to reveal the matter about King Qi to this Yu De, after all, this person was from Han Huang.
Given Han Huang's temperament, would he take this opportunity to launch another political wave?
From the previous visit of the Minister of Rites, He Ge Laoyi, it can be seen that this great scholar is obsessed with the position of chief minister.
"However, if Han Huang can criticize King Qi, he can also win over King Qi's hatred for me, which may not be a bad thing. I'm afraid this old fox will distract him." Jia Heng thought about this and narrated the incident to Yu De.
.
After hearing this, Yu De's eyes turned around, but after a moment, he solemnly said: "Now that the Holy Emperor has dealt with King Qi and demoted him to punish him, the difficulty of investigating this case will be greatly reduced. All officials involved in the case will be investigated with all their strength.
Cooperate."
Jia Heng saw this scene of non-stick pan. Although he had expected it, he still felt a little unhappy.
This is too slippery to be an official. This kind of sophisticated old bureaucrat is really unpopular to be honest. Especially when compared to the talented Xu Lu, it pales in comparison. I can only say that politicians are politicians after all, not politicians.
Xu Lu said: "The top priority is to take Liu You and other important criminals to this place for interrogation, interrogate their words, carefully examine their explanations, and then go from Jingzhao to the two yamen of the 50% Army and Horses Division to search for old records involving the Sanhe Gang."
Old case, interrogate the perpetrators involved in the case, and detain the Sanhe Gang members!"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "What Mr. Xu said is true. I will escort the prisoners from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division."
Since the imperial edict required three people to interrogate him, he had to be escorted to the Jingzhao Yamen for interrogation.
Xu Lu agreed and came down.
After that, Jia Heng left Jingzhao Yamen.
Originally, he could go there as a minor official, but he thought it would be more prudent to go there in person.
First, he returned to the old house in Liutiaoer Hutong on Ningrong Street, found Cai Quan, Fan Yi and others who had just woken up, and ordered them to escort the prisoners to Jingzhao Yamen, while he rode to the Wucheng Army and Horse Department.
At the gate of the Wucheng Military and Horse Officer's Office, Jia Heng got off his horse, threw the reins in his hand to the soldiers in front of the door, and entered the official hall amidst the sound of greetings.
After hearing the news, the deputy commander of Zhongcheng, Shen Yan, quickly stepped forward and said, "Master Jia."
Jia Heng frowned and asked, "Has Wei used his fifth move?"
Shen Yan said: "I've talked a little bit, but I still don't have any specific actions. I've already been tortured, but this person has a very serious mouth."
Jia Heng sneered and said: "Stubborn, how are the confessions of the other people? By the way, and Qiu Liang, how is the situation now? Do you want to say anything?"
"Qiu Zhi...Qiu Liang is being guarded by a few brothers from the Beijing camp, and my subordinates don't know much about it," Shen Yan said.
Su Zhao nodded and said: "In a moment, Wei Wu and other prisoners will be escorted to Jingzhao Yamen. Xu Fuyin will be in charge of the case."
Shen Yan clasped his fists in agreement, and then summoned a hundred households under his command to prepare the carriages needed to transfer the prisoners.
Jia Heng asked again: "Isn't today the day when the other cities of the Five Cities' Army and Horses Division should be on duty? Why don't we see the commanders of the troops and horses of the other cities?"
Shen Yan's face was not so good, and he said: "Back to your lord, Huo Jun, the commander of the troops in the east city, has reported illness, and the commanders in the south city, north city, and west city have sent people to say that they are on the way and will be here immediately."
"I'm sick? Interesting!" Jia Heng sneered, not to mention that he now has the Emperor's Sword in his hand. As usual, officials below the fifth rank have the right to kill first and then report. Of course, this kill first and then report does not mean drawing a sword to kill, but deposing and deposing. , the right to detain and interrogate.
Just the mention in his imperial edict of the executive director of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities already has the power to denounce him.
"First urge the commanders of other cities to come to the official hall to discuss matters. It's almost noon now. Do you want me to wait and prepare a banquet for them?" Jia Heng gave a deep drink and ordered.
After hearing this, Shen Yan responded to the order and left the official hall, calling for help.
But Jia Heng was sitting in the government office, thinking about how to deal with Huo Jun. Suddenly, he had an idea.
Yesterday, Cai Quan said that Xie Zaiyi, one of the 100 households in the capital camp, could be put to good use. If he replaced him with the command of Dongcheng with his power, it would undoubtedly be quite suitable, as his bravery would be a good match.
Originally, he wanted to visit in person to show his solemnity, but in fact, with his current rank and title, he wrote a handwritten letter saying that as long as he praised his bravery, he would definitely come and serve.
With this in mind, I picked up a letter, pondered for a while, and wrote a paragraph without adding any points.
"My dear friend Zaiyi, I would like to say that I have heard that my brother has always cherished the peace of the border area, had the ambition to defeat the bandits, has the courage and courage, and is good at archery. However, he has been reduced to a city guard. He is depressed and cannot achieve his ambition. It is not a bad thing for me. Regretfully, gangs and gangs are raging in the east city of Shenjing today, intruding the common people in one area, and doing very evil! My brother is not talented, and he is in charge of the Army and Horse Department of the five cities. He is thinking about the strategy of Xian'an inside and outside Shenjing, and wants to organize the army and use military force to suppress it for the emperor. "I'm trying to catch you, but I look around and see that there are no men with eagles and halberds to support me. Now I ask my dear brother to help me. I don't know what your thoughts are."
After finishing the book, he put it into an envelope, wrote the name on the book, sealed it with beeswax, called Shen Yan at the side, and said quickly: "Take the soldiers, take this letter from me, go find Dong Qian, and send the letter to Dong Qian." Give it to him and he will know it as soon as he sees it.”
Shen Yan took the order and just called a soldier.
After a while, the hundred households entered the official hall, clasped their fists and said, "Sir, the prisoners have been detained in the prison car. Do you want to set off now?"
Jia Heng said: "Send additional manpower to accompany me to Jingzhao Yamen."
As for the commanders of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, they haven't arrived yet. In that case, we won't wait for them.
How can there be any reason for a superior to wait for his subordinates?
Shen Yan was about to get up, but he heard the young powerful man sneer and said: "I almost forgot, Shen Yan, divided into two teams, the first wave found scarecrows, put on prison uniforms and put them in the prison car, to be careful of the Sanhe Gang again. The strategy of killing people and silencing them!"
Given the audacity of the members of the Sanhe Gang, he might not try his old tricks again. This time, he probably thought he would be careless, but he just chose to guard against this move.
"Isn't this what Jia Xu in the Three Kingdoms did to Zhang Xiu?"
Of course, even if this strategy is not possible, there is always no problem if you take precautions.
If the two civil servants were not unwilling to be interrogated in the Military Division, he would not have had to transfer the prisoners back and forth.
When Shen Yan heard this, his face was shocked. He was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his fists and said, "Yes, sir!"
A group of more than a hundred soldiers and horses escorted the prison car from the official hall and headed towards Jingzhao Yamen.
…
…
Let's go back in time a little. King Qi left the palace in a sedan chair and headed towards the palace in Yongyefang. As soon as he entered the palace, he entered the study with a gloomy face and summoned the counselors in the secret room.
The secret room is quite spacious, with a window on the top, and a coffee table, chairs and other furnishings inside.
The King of Qi hid his fat and huge body on a huanghuali wooden Taishi chair. His fat face had an ashen complexion and cold eyes, almost as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.
On the wall, there are several bronze candlesticks, and the oil lamps emit a faint yellow light, reflecting the three figures of different fat and thin, different heights opposite King Qi on the wall.
Sitting on the three chairs are an old man in a black hat and official uniform, a middle-aged scholar in a blue brocade robe, and a tutu in a yellow monk's robe.
The old man in golden robes is the long history of the Prince of Qi's Palace. His name is Dou Rong. He has a serious family background and failed in many trials. Because of his ability in managing affairs and planning, he is highly regarded by the Prince of Qi and is regarded as the number one think tank of the Prince of Qi's Palace.
The middle-aged scholar named Xu Shaozhen was originally a fortune teller who walked the streets in Shenjing. According to his claim, he was the contemporary successor of Mai Shenxiang. However, King Qi thought that this man was more like a charlatan, but he saw his eloquence. Because he was talented and quick-witted, he was also appointed as a guest in the mansion.
As for Toutuo, he is the monk Huitong from the Qi Wang Family Temple. He also has a cake-like face, eyebrows with eyebrows, and triangular eyes. He is in his early forties. A string of Buddhist beads hangs from his short and thick neck. His face is sallow, and he holds a buddha in his hand. String of musk beads.
According to his own claims, he was originally from Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan Province. Because he killed someone, he was ordained as a monk and hid in a temple for five years. He was taken in by the King of Qi who was on an official mission in Henan Province.
"Why is the prince's face so ugly?" Xu Shaozhen was good at observing words and expressions. His eyes flickered and he asked.
Previously, several eunuchs came to Prince Qi's palace to deliver oral instructions to Prince Qi to enter the palace. He felt vaguely that something was not good.
Calling people into the palace early in the morning is bound to be bad!
Sure enough, after King Qi returned to his palace, his face looked clouded.
The King of Qi said angrily: "I have been demoted! I have been demoted to a county king!"
As he spoke, he slapped the coffee table next to him, causing the teacup to jump up and down.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Chief Shi Dou Rong calmed down, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, could it be because of the incident in Dongcheng?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from sir. That Jia Heng, a hunting dog, took just one night to pry open the mouth of Liu You, the dog slave, and sent it to my father together with the confessions of Huang Laosan's subordinates from the Sanhe Gang.
How hard did Ren Gu argue, but the father refused to listen and insisted on surrendering to the orphan!"
The more King Qi spoke, the more indignant he became, with anger surging on his chubby face.
As for what happened before the palace, when Jia Heng slashed his servant's ear with the emperor's sword, he was so shocked that he dared not say anything. There was no need to say anything.
Dou Rong's face was solemn, his eyes flickered under his broken eyebrows, and he twirled a wisp of beard under his chin with his hand, thinking about how to deal with it.
King Qi looked at several counselors, and finally fell on Toutuo, and said: "Master Huitong, now the strategy of killing people and silencing them is no longer working. We need to think of another way."
Killing people and silencing them is a strategy proposed by Huitong.
Huitong's thick lips moved, his voice was hoarse and rough, and he said: "Your Majesty, did you just say that something bad happened to Jia Ziyu?"
Seeing Huitong's fierce eyes and unkind expression, King Qi quickly waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Master Huitong, don't think about Hua now. This Jia Heng is not Liu You. He is the one who is in the limelight in Shenjing City now. Besides,
If you kill him at once, it's okay, but if you can't kill him..."
If he couldn't be killed, I would be a little afraid when I think of the pair of cold and fierce eyes in front of the palace gate and the unsparing temper of King Qi.
Dou Rong frowned and said: "Your Majesty, you must not touch this Jia Heng! It's not something that cannot be touched, but the prince... I'm afraid that the Holy One has a desire to depose the prince, but it's just because the Supreme Emperor is still suppressing it..."
"Huh?" King Qi's face changed wildly when he heard this, because the words were too shocking, and he said angrily: "What mistake did I make, that my father would have such a desire..."
As he spoke, he felt a little lack of confidence, looked gloomy, and snorted coldly.
Dou Rong said: "The prince is supporting the Sanhe Gang and others under the eyes of the Holy One, but the Holy One doesn't even hear about it. This is a big mistake in the Holy King's eyes!"
When King Qi heard this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he still suppressed it and sighed: "Isn't this what Mr. Wang said before? Winning a direct descendant is not something that can be achieved in a day. It takes a drop of water to pierce through a stone. In one day, the holy family is prosperous and can be cut.
Increase is almost the same as nothing, and the only important thing is to cultivate your own power. The teacher's words are still in my ears, and I have listened to them, but now... the Sacred Heart is almost disgusted, and its wings are about to be cut off, alas..."
When Xu Shaozhen heard the words, he rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, don't be too anxious. If you plan this matter well, you may be able to turn disaster into good fortune and turn disaster into good fortune."
King Qi frowned, his heart moved, and asked: "Sir, what can you say to me?"
Xu Shaozhen glanced at Dou Rong, who had a gloomy face, and said, "Chang Dou is a wise man, does he have any good strategies?"
King Qi: "..."
Dou Rong pondered for a moment and said: "The prince needs to make a cut with the Sanhe Gang, at least on the surface. From now on, he will study behind closed doors and not ask about things outside the house. The Sanhe Gang is in charge of unloading grain and they are facing extinction.
How can we not jump over the wall and fight to the death? When Jia Ziyu and others are unable to control it, then there will be officials to impeach. The prince will follow the trend and appease the Sanhe gang. At that time, the whole court will only think that the prince
If one is proficient in government affairs, he will not be surprised by honor or disgrace, and the emperor's will will definitely change."
When Xu Shaozhen heard this, his eyes lit up and he agreed: "Your Majesty, what Dou Changshi said is a good policy. Aren't Jia Heng and Jingzhao Yamen going to do something? If they can't do it, no matter how much they say, it will be useless! Everyone in the government and the public
I will only think that they are incompetent. Then, when the prince cleans up the mess, the so-called collusion with gang forces in the past will become the prince's willingness to compromise and tolerate each other for the sake of the country."
King Qi was also very happy when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he frowned again and said worriedly: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm just afraid of what happens. What if they succeed?"
Before Xu Shaozhen could say anything, a cold look appeared on Dou Rong's old face and he said: "The Sanhe Gang will not be entrenched for a day or two, and hundreds of thousands of workers will be dependent on their food and clothing. Who can do it! Besides, as long as the Sanhe Gang is united and united,
, unite as one, and no one can touch them!"
"Your Majesty, the poor monk has just thought of a plan to wash away the bad reputation of Your Majesty and make preparations for his comeback in the future." At this time, Toutuo Huitong suddenly spoke.
When King Qi heard this, he was stunned and asked anxiously: "Master, what good advice do you have?"
Huitong glanced at Dou Rong, who was frowning and silent, and said coldly: "To be honest, this strategy was inspired by Mr. Dou just now. The prince can hint to the people in the Sanhe Gang, and then kill Liu You and others.
According to the plan, we must not falsely accuse him and implicate the prince."
"Master, this...father will definitely suspect that it was done by Gu. Doesn't this add fuel to the fire?" Upon hearing this, King Qi's fat face jumped, and he said anxiously: "Don't say father.
I won’t doubt it! These are all lice on the bald man’s head, it’s obvious.”
The King of Qi was used to being vulgar, so he realized that it was rude to talk about baldness in front of a monk, but he didn't take it seriously.
Dou Rong frowned and said: "Let Chunxiang hint to Sanhe to help, they will do their own thing, everything has nothing to do with the prince!"
"Mr. Dou also supports this matter?" King Qi said in surprise.
Dou Rong's face showed hard thoughts, his eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly: "The Holy One already knows that the prince is involved in the case, so the Holy One may not be concerned about whether the Sanhe Gang bandits and Liu You are silenced, and may even acquiesce in this matter."
The freshness of these words almost attracted the eyes of everyone in the secret room.
Dou Rong muttered: "Just now, I said that Your Majesty had some thoughts of deposing the prince, but due to the Supreme Emperor and the current situation of the dynasty, he did not do it. But once Liu You and others are sent to Xu Deqing, the prince's head will be implicated."
Sir, have you ever thought about it? The courtiers might have started to impeach the prince. Even though His Majesty has dealt with the prince in advance and had something to say in advance, the prince will still be notorious. At that time... once his reputation is ruined, will he still want to take over the East Palace?
?”
When King Qi heard this, his face turned gloomy and he said, "What you said makes sense."
Dou Rong said again: "Although the prince has an average reputation among the scholars, he is at least known as a man who understands government affairs and is capable! Although the prince did not learn from the king of Chu in the beginning, he cherished a false reputation and gained no real benefits, but he could not really benefit from it.
Notorious, at least we need a connection with the Sanhe Gang that has mixed reputations and reputations, so we have to cut it off for a while, but we can't tolerate Liu You getting involved with the prince."
Dou Rong's strategy was to eliminate hidden dangers, watch with cold eyes, and secretly sabotage the affairs of Jia Heng and Xu Lu.
As soon as he fails, he will counterattack again.
But we can't sit back and watch King Qi's reputation fall into disrepute. He needs to make some repairs.
"If we just continue to kill people and silence them, will my father really be so angry?" King Qi frowned, still hesitant.
Dou Rong chuckled lightly and said: "Does the prince still need to kill people to silence his mouth? The Holy Master already knows it, but the prince still kills people to silence his mouth? It's all because of the Sanhe gang who jumped over the wall and made their own decisions! The prince is now shutting himself up in the house to think about his mistakes and cultivate his moral character. When the Holy Master asks,
It is said that subordinate officers can be sent to assist Jia Ziyu and others in handling the case.
"Wonderful." Xu Shaozhen on the side praised.
He obviously admires this method of trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts to the smallest detail.
Hearing this, Huitong nodded and said, "Furthermore, Jia Heng just set up an ambush to trap the Sanhe Gang. Now he would never think that we would come again."
King Qi's eyes also lit up, but he corrected him: "It's not us, it's the Sanhe Gang who jumped over the wall and made their own decisions. I didn't know this, so I studied behind closed doors at home to cultivate my character. By the way, I read Jia Ziyu's Three Kingdoms version.
