Chapter 74: Is the succession of the feudal lord so exciting?
"Did you do it, or did someone else do it?"
Zhang Yanling, who came back from the gate of hell, didn't care about anything else. When he arrived at his brother's house, he pulled Zhang Heling into the "study", pushed the servants away and asked angrily in a low voice.
"Do you think I'm crazy?" Zhang Heling said with a sullen face and gritted his teeth, "It seems like His Majesty did this himself!"
"Do you think I'm stupid or do you think Yang Ting and them are stupid?" Zhang Yanling also had a stern face, "Nonsense! I just want to ask if you are stupid!"
"Of course not! Do you think I'm a lunatic?" Zhang Heling said with an angry look on his face, "It seems that Qian Ning and Jiang Bin's remnants want to fish in troubled waters, or maybe Wei Bin and others who have been deprived of power want to frame the blame for this!
All of a sudden, the Queen Mother, us, the elders, and those killers like Wei Bin are all under suspicion by the Emperor!"
Zhang Yanling's IQ is not much different from Zhang Heling's, but after returning home and discussing with his confidants, he realized that things were still not good, and very bad!
However, now we need to rule out the worst possibility: "It was really a man-made disaster. The first batch of people to be cleaned up were the eunuchs and maids. Are Wei Bin and the others crazy?"
"That's Qian Ning Jiang Bin Yu Dang!" Zhang Heling's eyes flashed, "It must be them! The emperor and the courtiers became suspicious of each other, and there was a huge turmoil. Who would bother to try them and convict them? Even the emperor was very afraid for a while.
It is possible to bring them back to death row for use! No wonder His Majesty immediately discussed with the courtiers what to do with Qian Ning and Jiang Bin who had no family assets. This is what the courtiers wanted. Your Majesty also thinks that it was Qian Ning and Jiang Bin who had done it!
"
He breathed a sigh of relief, Death Row was so useful.
Zhang Yanling was dubious, but in the end it made more and more sense.
"Uncle Zong, what exactly is the fire in Qianqing Palace?"
As long as Wang Zuo can find clues and find evidence, all the important civil and military ministers of the court will help Wang Zuo complete this matter and completely eliminate the grudge in the emperor's heart.
Everyone who came out of Qianqing Palace unanimously agreed that it was an unintentional man-made disaster. Although this may be the truth, it makes it easier for some smart people to guess more.
Although he is usually only responsible for some minor matters such as salary, military craftsmen, replacements and so on within Jinyiwei, it is not a good sign that Luo An called Wang Zuo alone at this time.
After waiting there for a whole morning, when the cabinet ministers and the six ministries and nine ministers came back, everyone seemed to have died.
Wang Zuo thought to himself that you called me in! If you don’t listen, your head will fall to the ground in the next second!
They were discussing at Shouning Hou's house. At Yuan Zonggao's house, who had just moved into a new house, Xie Changjie and others came over again without stopping.
"Wang Zuo, come with me!" Luo An turned around and walked towards the inner hall. Wang Zuo, the head of Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fusi, followed immediately.
Wang Zuo's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he became confused again, but the next words came out immediately: "I will first secretly investigate the Jinyi Guards, and then follow the orders of the adults to go to Beizhen Fusi, and dispatch the loyal school captain to secretly investigate the matter. I will definitely get ironclad evidence."
!”
Luo An was sitting in the lobby of Jinyiwei, looking at a person standing under his command. There was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes, and suspicious eyes passed over each person.
The nail has been planted since Emperor Zhengde disliked these two uncles. If we really want to find any clues, it will also point to Qian Ning, Jiang Bin, and Lao Fang's arrangement. There shouldn't be any problems, right?
I just didn’t expect that the emperor, who was so aggressive in the palace and during the first court meeting, seemed to not care about this incident.
Then he said: "Emperor Daxing's mountain tomb matter must not go wrong! When something like this happened, His Majesty suppressed his anger just for the sake of the stability of the court and for fear that everyone among the ministers would be in danger. But in this matter,
Someone will definitely be brought out to sacrifice the flag! Now we are just relying on my sister as the Queen Mother, and His Majesty is afraid of getting a mean reputation. In the past two years, no one will be able to find any reason!"
There is indeed no small matter in the Forbidden Palace. What will happen if this matter is exploited?
In addition, there is something wrong with His Majesty's personal servants. Where are the factory guards and minions?
What kind of situation would make so many important ministers face the enemy and cover up the truth together?
After being scolded by Yang Tinghe, Yang Shen did not dare to ask any more questions, and just sighed: "According to what his father said, Qian Ning and Jiang Bin lost their family assets by nearly two million taels in one breath. My son really
I can’t help but think about it.”
Luo An stepped forward and held his arm to help him stand up: "Wang Zuo, you know the importance. If you do this well, if you perform extraordinary feats in the future, it is not impossible to obtain the title of world certificate. If you are willing to die, I will
It will be reported to His Majesty."
Just as Yuan Zonggao expected, he attended the court meeting with great terror in the heavy rain. Who could swallow the food in the Wenhua Hall afterwards?
"Keep an eye on them all!" Luo An shouted in a deep voice, "Nothing is trivial in the Forbidden Palace! Although the servant's unintentional mistake caused a catastrophe, the rumors will never stop! If someone wants to use this to cause trouble, the Jin Yiwei must advance in advance
You know the clues! Scatter all the sons and gentlemen out. The nine gates are not closed, but the fast horses leaving the city and the merchants on the post road must not be missed, especially those going to the fiefdoms of various vassals. Do you understand?"
Yang Tinghe didn't know Mao Cheng's slander against him. He just tried his best to avoid leading things to the worst situation as usual.
The emperor is concerned about when his truly loyal people will come to power! There is indeed an inside story about the fire in Qianqing Palace!
Luo An stared at him with deep eyes: "Wang Zuo, you are the person recommended by Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Wei, and Eunuch Gu. His Majesty said that if you can teach Lu Bing out, it will be a great achievement. In the future, you can at least fight.
A hereditary commander of the Imperial Guard."
The tone of voice was sonorous and powerful, without any hesitation.
The more it is said to be an honest mistake, the more unsafe it becomes for everyone.
"I humbly accept my order!"
But the mastermind and accomplice must have other charges, and they must be charges worthy of the serious crime of treason!
Wang Zuo saw the vitality of this matter from the unambiguous words of the ministers: His Majesty's control over the court is further increasing.
Everyone is curious, but Yang Tinghe didn't know what his son was thinking.
"... He is a good player in martial arts, but he is knowledgeable... even in his humble position." Wang Zuo's thoughts suddenly changed, why did he ask Lu Bing in the first place?
Yang Ting and himself are not afraid of his investigation, but the most terrifying thing is the emperor's suspicion. As long as this suspicion continues to ferment, then there is no need to think about reforming the evils and making new ones. In the past few days, the emperor has been listening to politics, listening to lectures, and listening to advice. It will also disappear.
Luo An nodded: "You are a smart man. If you want to hear my next words, you must be prepared for death and death."
In the Yang Mansion, Yang Tinghe was exhausted when faced with Yang Shen's questioning, and finally couldn't help shouting angrily: "An unintentional mistake is an unintentional mistake. Do you really want the answer from the celestial phenomenon or someone's deliberate conspiracy?"
Today's danger was entirely due to the emperor temporarily calming down in a thought.
The other Jinyiwei senior officials suddenly felt nervous again.
North Town Fusi is for external affairs, and South Town Fusi is for internal affairs.
"How did Lu Bing learn from you?"
"Please rest assured, sir! I will never live up to my humble duty!"
There was a fire in the emperor's palace, and the sword above his head seemed to be making a dragon roar, which made people feel heartbroken.
After Liu Long returned home, he closed the door and thanked his guests. After Yan Song returned home, he also went into the study.
The case of the Qianqing Palace fire has been concluded and can no longer be convicted of stabbing a driver.
What else can be done?
"Please give me your orders!"
If not, in the end of the Jiajing Dynasty, the monarch and his ministers will be jealous of each other, and there will never be peace!
Today, Yang Tinghe is really glad that the emperor has such a mature mind - even though it will make many things in the future more difficult for him.
"Of course I know! With Lao Fang helping to keep an eye on it, what could possibly go wrong?" Zhang Heling said confidently, but the trepidation in his heart was always there.
"It's not your turn to think too much about this matter! Prepare well for tomorrow's scripture feast. As a father, I have to read the sermon again!"
Luo An looked at him deeply.
If it weren't for his status as a Qiandi, could Luo An be better than Wang Zuo?
There was no hesitation in the answer. He already knew that this matter could only be investigated secretly. Since what was reported was an unintentional mistake, it means that the emperor was not in a hurry. He first sorted out the interior of Jinyiwei, and then left the south town Fusi, which only dealt with internal affairs, and went to north town Fu Si, Wang Zuo can have higher authority to continue the investigation.
Yuan Zonggao frowned: "Didn't we say it in the Wenhua Palace? The servant accidentally dumped the oil lamp and caused a fire. Your Majesty gave you food and a banquet, just to tell you not to think too much. Just do what you have to do. The banquet will be held as scheduled tomorrow. .”
The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet locked himself in the study, and the truth about the thunderstorm night fire in Qianqing Palace seemed to be locked away.
Wang Zuo's heart was agitated, and he got up from his seat and knelt down: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness, and I will live up to your Majesty's high expectations! As long as you have a destiny, you will not hesitate to go through fire and water even if you humble your position!"
Wang Zuo walked anxiously to the inner room of Luo An's office, and only heard Luo An say one word: "Sit down."
My butt only touches a little bit, and my feet have to be on the ground to prevent the chair from tilting up.
After a moment of silence, Luo An spoke: "The cabinet great scholar, the six ministries and nine ministers, the princes and uncles, and their relatives inspected the scene. The fire in the Qianqing Palace was not an unintentional mistake. Someone wanted to assassinate him and conspire against him!"
The emperor, who did not get angry anymore and was tolerant and gentle, suffered a fire in his palace on the eve of the Sutra banquet, which symbolized respect for etiquette. Tomorrow's Sutra banquet will go on as usual.
But that night, many courtiers were in a state of uneasiness.
Some crawled into bed and lay down to help them fall asleep, while others hid at home and drank seven or eight bowls of wine, afraid to go out.
Is the succession of the feudal lord so exciting?
I’ve never experienced it before, so I’m really scared.
