Chapter 145: The Silly Emperor's Misdiagnosed Mandarin Duck Case
Hu San blinked his eyes and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still wise. You are responsible for settling this case!"
The little emperor was happy after hearing this and was not polite. He shook his head and said: "I will decide it. If I can't solve such a small case, how can I still be the emperor for you here? The parties involved heard the announcement, I have passed the decree."
Wang Shugui, Cao Huazhi, Hu San and others all prostrated on the ground and listened to the emperor's words.
The emperor preached: "The woman in Prime Minister Wang's house died unexpectedly. She had eaten beans with the Prime Minister during her lifetime, and she was pregnant with the Prime Minister's seed. She should be treated as a first-class wife. Wang San, who died earlier, was buried with her. It happened that they were allowed to arrive."
I will be a companion in the underworld for three days from now on. All civil and military officials will accompany me to my prime minister's house for the funeral. It is inconvenient for the prime minister to come forward. The emperor's younger brother Pan You'an is a capable man, so he is fully responsible for handling the funeral. Hu Aiqing
Monk Secretary Zhang Dandan and Wang Xiaowu's assistance in handling Cao Anmin have nothing to do with this matter. I will continue to be your nine-door admiral. Hu San has made meritorious service and his official rank has been raised to the second rank!"
The whole court was in an uproar. This was probably the first major case that the young emperor personally handled after ascending to the Dragon Throne.
Since it was the emperor's order to organize a funeral, of course he had to organize the funeral in a big way. The eunuch spent a lot of money, scattered money like rice and grains on the streets, and prepared a banquet with good wine, meat, and food for three days and three nights. Monk, gongs and drums are locked.
Taoists were all invited to come to the ashram to chant sutras and recite Buddha's name to save the dead. The Prime Minister's house was really busy for several days. There were two cypress coffins with thick bottoms and heavy sides. They were surrounded by half-foot-thick wooden boards. They couldn't be lifted. They were both covered.
The cemetery where eight mules were pulled up the mountain was the place that Prime Minister Wang had planned for himself in advance. There was no need to dig a grave pit anymore. First, move a place for Mrs. Cuihua. It would not be too late to bury the Prime Minister together after a hundred years.
These were all the ideas of the chief mourning officer, the young eunuch, and the deputy chief mourning officer, Hu San, etc. They were also acting according to orders, so Prime Minister Wang naturally had nothing to say.
The tomb area is about forty miles east of the capital. As early as ten years ago, Wang Shugui, a famous Yin and Yang Feng Shui master in the capital area, spent a huge sum of money to buy this Feng Shui treasure land just in case.
A Bagua master surnamed Guo once predicted: The feng shui here is dangerous. It can reach the sky from above and the earth below. There are hexagrams of green dragons and white tigers, and there are also disasters of blood and light from the sky. People plan things and achieve things in heaven. You can believe it or not, but
We must not disbelieve it. We advised the benefactor Wang Shugui to take care of himself. This place may not be an auspicious place, and it is uncertain whether he will be able to use it by then! At that time, Wang Shugui relied on himself as a minister who cared about life, and the little emperor was in chaos. He covered the sky with one hand in both the government and the public.
Who dared to pull off a few of his beards? He was planning for the good, so he didn't take the disadvantages to heart. After suffering this bad loss today, Fang Xin said that Guo Banxian was a very good person ten years ago.
You can predict what will happen today
The garden is built on the mountain, facing south and facing north, with excellent scenery. It covers an area of more than 200 acres and is surrounded by brick walls and fences. The garden is full of pines, cypresses and willows, and there is a main road of flowers in all seasons. Both sides of the road are paved with green bricks, and there are many vertical trees.
There are young stone people and horses, either angry or happy, or running and standing quietly, with different shapes, lifelike. Walking along the road, you come to the gentle slope. There are 108 steps built. Climb up the steps. The top of the high platform is as flat as water. Here is the place.
It is the resting place of Prime Minister Wang himself after a hundred years in the main tomb area. Construction has begun since he became prime minister. Ten years have passed and the tomb has not yet been completed. The tomb repair craftsmen are also experts invited by Prime Minister Wang from his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River.
He was afraid that the local people were unreliable and would secretly do mischief, dig holes and graves, steal money and treasures, and disturb the peace of the underworld in the future. No matter how great the king was, he was only the prime minister, not the emperor. Once he died, he would be buried together with the tomb workers.
, who knows those secret passage agencies?
Cuihua followed the emperor's holy order and the wife's specifications. Naturally, the eunuchs and others did not dare to disobey the order, so her coffin was placed on the right side of the main tomb. The prime minister's wife was still there, and the position on the left belonged to others, so they could not occupy this place. First come, first served is not allowed. Unless the emperor has a decree, everything else will be implemented according to the old system.
The tombstone is about ten feet high and three feet wide. It is of fine workmanship and grand scale. It is carved from white marble and has the inscription: "I ordered the tomb of Mrs. X's Cuihua, who was ordered to be a first-class emperor. There is also a scholar who was buried in the tomb of Wang Sanlong, the chief minister of the Dragon Dynasty." "Prime Minister Wang Shugui kowtowed, and on such and such month and day of such and such year" was written in a nondescript way, but it was quite decent.
Wang Shugui was complaining every day. Naturally, he was unable to resist the decree and could not stop it. He allowed the young eunuch, Hu San and others to do whatever they wanted.
After the funeral was done, Wang Shugui asked the accountant to report the amount. He spent a total of more than one hundred thousand taels of silver, which was almost half of his family property. Wang Shugui felt sorry for the money and was embarrassed, and regretted that he had promised Cuihua to that person. Stupid Wang San, how can there be so many nonsense today? It's all due to bad luck. I met that bastard Hu San and tricked the stupid little emperor into making him suffer such a huge loss. Wang San could have died sooner or later and half an hour later. Who could Can you imagine that he was catching up with the nine admirals to praise their officials on the street?
It is a right thing to not retaliate against a grudge, but it is not a gentleman. If you can't breathe out, you will be suffocated to death. He, a prime minister of the dynasty, was teased by a few young boys. It's funny to think about it. The ancients said it well. , shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, capture the thief first, capture the king, it is best to knock the little eunuch to the ground directly, but this is too difficult. Now the little eunuch has become a real person, it is not easy to dismount him. It can be done now. It's the person who messed with him, and if he's killed, he'll be counted as one
There is news that the young eunuch often sneaks into the governor's house and has a fierce fight with the new governor named Cao Anmin. Sometimes it is late, and the two of them rest on the same bed. This is a strange thing. Could it be that the young eunuch is obsessed with it? Do you like men to be lustful but not women? My daughter also found out in the palace that the young eunuch has not had much contact with the women in the palace for a long time.
The last time the little emperor rewarded the ten ladies for Cao Anmin, his daughter secretly arranged for two confidants to go in. However, these two work efficiency was too poor, and there was no definite information sent out for a long time. Now whether Cao Anmin is a boy or a girl. Needless to say, the key is to find out what is the relationship between him and the little eunuch? If Cao Anmin really has a relationship with the little eunuch, it will definitely be another worry
Wang Cheng had spent all his time, but he still couldn't think of a good way to deal with the young eunuch. Suddenly he remembered the story of Uncle Liu Huang's three visits to Mao Lu, and suddenly he had an idea. Why not also invite an expert from outside the world to help him punish the young eunuch?
Don't delay, just do it as soon as you think about it. Wang Shugui sent people out to inquire around, to investigate and detect secrets. No matter how far or short the journey was, they were all distinguished people, whether they were monks or monks, or even better, ordinary people or rogues. He can be a scoundrel, talented or not. As long as there is a plan to help him get rid of the trouble of eunuchs in the palace, he would rather burn incense and kowtow with this person and become friends for eight worships.
