The Red Mansions

Chapter 357 Yu is in danger of unexpected events.

The jade rabbit falls in the west, and the golden crow rises in the east.

The next day, under the secret operation of King Zhongshun, after a morning of fermentation, the news of King Zhongshun's assassination in Da Ci'en Temple began to spread in Beijing.

"Sit and watch the thieves commit crimes with soldiers at the feet of the emperor, openly attacking and killing the clan, the soldiers and horses of the five cities cannot absolve themselves of the blame!"

The fierce words in the impeachment memorandum, under the guidance of someone with a heart, did not pay attention to the injured part of King Zhongshun, but aimed the attack on the five cities under Jia Heng's command.

In the morning, a number of officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached Jia Heng for pointing out that the troops and horses in the five cities were ineffective. Perhaps they had multiple roles, lacked skills and neglected their responsibilities.

In the meantime, there is a memorial to the impeachment of "Jia Heng has important positions such as Jinyi, Beijing garrison, and public security. The safety of the emperor of Miyagi depends on one thought. If things go on like this, there will be dangers of accidents."

Several memorials were handed over to the Secretary of General Administration, and they were passed on to other officials as usual. Because Jia Heng was very well-known in Beijing, the impeachment memorials were passed on from word to mouth, and there was almost an uproar.

But the paradox is that the one-sided trend of public opinion has not been fully formed, and the Kodao officials have not followed suit and impeached.

Speaking of which, it was Jia Heng who had just used the five city soldiers and horse soldiers to curb the rebellion in the Beijing camp and the Liwei camp not long ago, and the aftermath was not over.

This happened not long ago, who would dare to say that Wucheng soldiers and horses are incompetent?
Therefore, more public opinion tends to be that Jia Heng has limited energy alone, and he can't take care of the soldiers and horses of the five cities.

That is to say, issues that were not paid much attention by the government and the public have surfaced with the help of interested people.

In fact, Jia Heng has mastered the Five Cities Bingmasi, Jingying, and Jinyifu, and holds many key positions. Not to mention his rebellion, no one believes it, but he already has the ability to rebel.

Just because he had led troops to suppress the rebellion before, his loyalty had been verified, and the Sacred Heart was unpredictable. For a while, some officials in Beijing focused their attention on Daming Palace.

In the morning, Jia Heng hadn't sat down for a long time before he was ordered by the Daming Palace Inspector to enter the Daming Palace to Chen Zuo.

Daming Palace, Inner Study Room

Not only Emperor Chongping, but also Yang Guochang, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Han Huang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and others were all there, waiting respectfully. In addition, there was an acquaintance of Jia Heng, Jing Zhao Yin Xu Lu.

Emperor Chongping sat behind the table, looked at the young man standing opposite him, weighed the memorial in his hand, and asked with frowned eyebrows: "Tell me, what happened to King Zhongshun's assassination? I heard people say, You were also at Da Ci En Temple yesterday?"

Jia Heng looked dignified, cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, my minister and his wife went to the Temple of Mercy to offer incense yesterday. On the way, King Zhongshun and his concubine and a large number of female relatives entered the temple to offer incense. After that, I left the hall. After that, I heard that the old man The prince was assassinated by an assassin who was hiding in the dark. The minister was extremely shocked. He immediately went to the Wucheng soldiers and horses to sit in the town, and personally deployed patrol soldiers to search for the prisoners. Let Jinyi Mansion's detectives secretly investigate this matter, thinking that with Jinyi's ability, there should be results in these two days. As for Prince Zhongshun, he once ordered Chang Shi to let his ministers block the city gates and arrest criminals. There was chaos just now, and if it was to spread the fanfare again and disturb everyone, it would not be adopted, but it was not intended to cause such a disturbance."

His rhetoric first clarified the responsibilities, and secondly gave Emperor Chongping an option. This turmoil is only afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble.

Emperor Chongping couldn't see any joy or anger on his expression, he pondered for a while, looked at Dai Quan aside, and asked, "How about the casualties in Prince Zhongshun's residence?"

Dai Quan said in a low voice: "I heard that the prince suffered some injuries, and a wife was seriously injured, and several concubines were frightened, but there were no other casualties."

Emperor Chongping frowned, with cold colors appearing in his eyes.

Secretly, he took a bunch of women to the pure place of Buddhism, but was ambushed by gangsters, how absurd it sounds.

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Let the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital go over for diagnosis and treatment."

After all, as the head of the clan, it is not good to be indifferent.

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "My lord, it will take time to solve this case. I have been busy with the whole army of the Beijing camp recently, and I feel exhausted. I have neglected the general affairs of the five cities' soldiers and horses, and I feel that I am not competent for the five cities' soldiers. For the position of Ma Si, I ask the Holy One to select another talented person to take on the important task of public security in Shenjing."

In this move, he still retreated to advance, and asked to resign from the dispatch of Wucheng soldiers and horses to avoid impeachment.

After all, everyone suspected that he was in danger of accidents. If he did not resign from his position as the military commander of the five cities, he would not conform to the moral principles of fear and disaster avoidance in this era.

As for whether Emperor Chongping would agree?

Not long after, King Wei went to Wucheng Bingmasi to watch the government, and he appointed him a meritorious officer. Emperor Chongping still counted on him to take care of his son.

Kuang Tianzi has always had a firm mind. It can be said that he has his own set of balancing techniques for the personnel arrangements of the court.

Take the cabinet as an example. The dispute between Han and Yang has not yet ended, and Xu will be introduced again, which is unpredictable.

He has already proved his ability and loyalty to the law and order in Beijing. The emperor has no reason to change people. Youth is not his shortcoming, but his advantage.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongping frowned, his eyes were aggressive, and the imperial aura even carried some oppression, and he said in a deep voice: "You have not been acting as an agent for the military and horse affairs of the five cities for a long time. Huo breeding, full of vitality, not long ago, I tried my best to save the crisis, and protected Shenjing from military disasters. Why can't I be competent? Don't listen to some criticisms, just have the heart to avoid disasters, I can trust you!"

The previous chaos in the Beijing camp would have almost caused a catastrophe if the young man in front of him had not used the five city soldiers and horses to put down the chaos in time.

As for the statement in the Memorial, "Heng holds many important positions, and there is a danger of accidents," which is pure nonsense.

Li Zan is now in charge of the Beijing camp. As for the governors of the [-]th Regiment Battalion below, not long ago, he summoned several generals with acceptable talents to enter the palace to report on the military situation, and he has already accepted the hearts of some generals.

Speaking of which, why are generals in their [-]s and [-]s, half-life soldiers, willing to listen to the orders of such a young man who is not as weak as a crown?

If he hadn't personally bestowed the Son of Heaven Sword, who would listen to a young man's orders?
No matter how talented this young man is, it won't work.

People are like that.

Gan Luo Twelve worshiped as Shangqing of Qin State, but he was only Shangqing.

As for whether the Beijing camp will leave Jia Heng's school in the future, it will become a trend that can't be lost, not to mention that he is at the height of his age and has many defensive methods, but Jia Heng has made great achievements and has no love for life and death. Dare to entrust with your wealth and life?

This is Emperor Chongping!

The emperor is good at controlling people. If the emperor did not even have the confidence to control people's hearts, he would not have been crowned a great treasure like a dark horse.

Yang Guochang, chief minister of the cabinet, listened to Emperor Chongping's ardent words of persuasion to the young man, and frowned secretly. This kind of favor means that Jia Heng is young, otherwise he would be like a thorn in his back.

And Xu Lu also frowned tightly, he felt that the emperor's words were too much, and it was a disaster rather than a blessing to be so kind to a courtier.

Hearing Emperor Chongping's words, Jia Heng's body was shocked, his face was moved, and he saluted and said in a trembling voice: "I thank you for your trust, even if you are smashed to pieces, it will be difficult to repay your kindness."

Emperor Chongping seemed to be relieved and said: "If you want to do something, you will always attract criticism. Since Yang Zhenggong's old asthma relapsed and he couldn't take care of things, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has experienced endless chaos. Yesterday, Yang Zheng The Lord has returned to his hometown on the form, I pity him for his old age, and allow his request. Now the position of Zuodu Censor is vacant. The wind of impeaching the imaginary."

Emperor Chongping raised a new topic this time.

Regarding the personnel appointment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is self-evident that Xu Lu was summoned here.

Han Huang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there are still many things to be done before the year. The general constitution is absent. Will we discuss it again next year?"

Emperor Chongping said: "At the beginning of the new year, all kinds of major policies must be implemented, so we should discuss them before the year, and determine the candidates as soon as possible, so as not to delay the grand plan of the Beijing inspection!"

This is the intention of Emperor Chongping to transfer Xu Lu to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in a hurry, to take advantage of next year's Beijing Procuratorate to rectify the administration of officials and prepare for the reform of the administration of officials next year.

When all the cabinet ministers in the palace heard Jingcha's discussion, they frowned and had different thoughts.

Yang Guochang's heart skipped a beat, and a gloomy look appeared in his old eyes.

The grand plan of Beijing inspection is once every six years, and next year happens to be the year of Beijing inspection, and the holy majesty is very determined to refresh the government, so Xu Deqing is used now, and he will not stop until the water in the officialdom of the big man is completely muddied.

And remembering that Jingcha is generally led by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Henan Daoist Censor, Yang Guochang glanced at Han Huang who was on the side from the corner of his eyes, and felt even more worried.

If the Zhejiang Party takes the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, it needs to be prepared in advance.

"Ziyu get up first." Emperor Chongping looked at Jia Heng again at this time and said, "Yesterday Li Shangshu entered the palace to play an event, advised me, and imitated Taizu Taizong. On the first day of next year, I will parade and perform martial arts. I will show off my martial arts. I thought it was pertinent and reasonable, so I accepted it, how did you prepare for this matter?"

Jia Heng clasped his hands and said: "My lord, all ministries are still performing in an orderly manner, and the elimination of the old and the weak in the Beijing camp is also proceeding in an orderly manner."

I secretly sighed in my heart for the wisdom of the Son of Heaven, and followed the example of Taizu Taizong. Whoever is going to obstruct this is going to have trouble with the ancestors of Chen Han.

Emperor Chongping nodded when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "This matter must be handled with care, the most important thing, especially above all other things. The rectification of the Beijing camp has gone through several twists and turns. Seeing results, with a firm heart to organize the army and practice martial arts."

When Yang Guochang heard this, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and his heart was filled with irritability.

"Li Zan, who recruited the army for personal fame and ruined the civil and military system, is really abominable!"

Because Li Zan had previously risked his life and death to appease the Beijing camp, and now the Holy Majesty is more and more obedient to his words in military matters. How many years has it been since military parades and military exercises have cost people and money?

At the beginning, the Supreme Emperor also paraded his troops, but what happened was that he resorted to military force and used weapons recklessly, causing the entire Liaodong to fall.

"The Holy Majesty now favors traitors and cruel officials, and the court situation is getting more and more chaotic." Yang Guochang felt a deep worry in his heart, and he was powerless to stop the military parade.

Otherwise, once this system is activated, the warriors who have been suppressed with great difficulty will raise their heads.

However, Jia Heng didn't know that Yang Guochang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, "worry about the country and the people". After Chen Zuo finished his work, Emperor Chongping did not stay long. The door gods and peach charms that have been approved, you can take them and replace them, which can be regarded as auspicious."

Hearing this, Jia Heng cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Lord Long En."

Generally speaking, the emperor will not give money to his courtiers, but only food, clothing and other things.

And at this juncture, sending him the door god and Taofu is undoubtedly to show him to the officials: "I don't believe it, you don't have to say anything!"

As for who is the door god, is it him, or the safety guarantee of the emperor?
Maybe both.

Zhongshun Palace
In the wing room, King Zhongshun was lying on the bed, surrounded by several young maids serving him, and asked, "Is it visible?"

Zhou Changshi laughed and said: "The Holy One sent eunuchs to Ningguo Mansion to pass the decree, my lord, the impeachment memorial is effective."

King Zhongshun sneered, and said: "I know that now, he is in charge of the three government offices, and he is a key position. Loyalty and treachery are only a thought. Just a reminder of this matter is enough to make people feel like they are sitting on pins and needles."

There are also the following words lurking in the bottom of my heart, how suspicious the fourth brother is, this reminder is bound to send the child to the Wucheng soldiers and horses.

Thinking of the Wucheng soldiers and horses, King Zhongshun felt nauseated.

This kind of key yamen that governs the public security of Shenjing should not have such rebellious and domineering people in charge.

The reason why he went to Da Ci'en Temple to offer incense before was that he never thought of commanding the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division. He just subconsciously felt that Jia Heng was arrogant and would not give him face.

Well now, at least he can get off his errand.

Well, when you think about it this way, this assassination is also a blessing in disguise?

Just when King Zhongshun was thinking wildly, the servant outside said: "My lord, my little lord has returned from the Wucheng Bingma Division."

Mentioning Chen Rui, King Zhongshun's face darkened, and he said irritably, "Come back when you come back."

Rui'er squatted in the prison of soldiers and horses in Wucheng for seven days, losing all the face of the palace, and the culprit of all this was that child Jia Heng.

But in the courtyard, the little prince Chen Rui came in from the outside, sat in the flower hall, and was talking to Concubine Wu.

At this time, Concubine Wu took the arm of the young prince Chen Rui, and asked with concern: "Rui'er, you have suffered a lot. Look, you are all hungry and thin. In Wucheng Bingma Division, did others beat you?"

Chen Rui was obviously a little impatient with Concubine Wu's concern, and said: "Mother Concubine, everything is fine in Wucheng Bingmasi, no one came to fight, just helping with the seven days' work."

Concubine Wu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and comforted her, "Rui'er, this time we have gained a lot of wisdom. What kind of horse do you say you and that Xianning are robbing? Not to mention how much older you are." If you want to let her go at the age of [-], say that she is the daughter of the imperial concubine, the niece of the queen, and don't offend her indiscriminately, otherwise you won't be invited as a raft."

When mentioning the past, Chen Rui's eyes became angry, and he said in a hateful voice: "My concubine's words are right, then Jia Heng is using his son to make a raft to curry favor with Xianning."

Concubine Wu saw her son's vicious and vicious appearance that resembled King Zhongshun, she felt annoyed in her heart, and complained: "Okay, don't bear to hate him, it's not worth fighting for such a big deal. when."

She was scared, she had heard some rumors recently that Jia Heng was a desperate person, and heard that he even used King Qi as a raft, this kind of ignorance had to be rampant for a while, and it wouldn't last long.

Chen Rui said: "I can't swallow this breath!"

"Okay, do you know, today, I went to the Ci'en Temple to offer incense for my mother, what happened?" Concubine Wu said in a low voice, distracting her son's attention.

Chen Rui paused angrily, and asked, "What?"

With lingering fear on her face, Concubine Wu said in a low voice: "My mother almost lost this old life in the Temple of Mercy. An assassin attacked and killed your father. Thanks to your father's life, you escaped."

"Father's accident happened, who is so courageous to assassinate the clan?" Chen Rui's expression changed drastically, he was startled and angry.

Anyone else dare to assassinate the clan?

Ate bear heart and leopard gall!
Concubine Wu sighed: "Now let the soldiers of the five cities investigate, but Chou Yinmao hasn't been found yet, but you can live in the mansion these few days, maybe the assassin will come back and attack you again."

In her opinion, if the assassin can't catch him for a day, there is a possibility of assassinating again at any time. If the assassin thinks it's not good to assassinate Lao Tzu and wants the father to pay back the hatred of the son, she...

Chen Rui was also shocked by the words, and asked anxiously: "Where is the father now? I'll go and see."

"It's okay, it's in the backyard. Your father is injured, and you, as a son, should go and visit." Concubine Wu said softly.

Chen Rui answered yes, and then walked quickly towards the backyard.

But when Chen Rui approached the courtyard where King Zhongshun was, he heard a roaring voice: "Child Jia Heng!"

King Zhongshun listened to Chang Shi Zhoushun's latest report, and his eyes almost burst into flames. He waited for a long time, and he found nothing, and even rewarded him with comfort. Heng.

So, this is... a warning?
Warn him to hook up with the censor?
Thinking of this, he sat up suddenly, and the injury on his buttocks was immediately affected, and he let out an "ouch" in pain, resentful in his heart, and scolded:

"Child Jia Heng, you are hateful and you can kill him!"

When Chen Rui heard the angry voice, he felt his scalp go numb for a while, and he planned to come back at another time.

Coincidentally, a servant called: "Little prince, the prince calls you in." "

Well, it’s okay not to go in now.
