Detective in the Red Chamber

His words obviously scolded Concubine Rong.

But Concubine Rong couldn't stop crying just now, she didn't have any life at this time, she just knelt there upright, wiping away her tears.

As for the little eunuchs next to him, they immediately knelt down again after hearing Qiu Shi'an's scolding sharply.

"Yo."

At this time, Qiu Shi'an seemed to have just seen Concubine Rong, and gave himself a big mouth lightly, exaggerating: "It turns out that Concubine Rong is in front of you, sorry for my poor eyesight, I didn't see you for a while."

As he spoke, he scolded again: "Things with no eyesight, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and help your mother up!"

Several young eunuchs rushed forward to help, but they didn't dare to get too close to Concubine Rong, they only grabbed her wrist and lifted it up.

As a result, naturally she couldn't use much strength, Concubine Rong fell desperately, and became a stalemate for a while.

She heard her crying and crying: "I beg my father-in-law to pass a message to your majesty, saying that my concubine has been convicted, and I beg your majesty to take care of the past..."

"Your Majesty, this will embarrass this old slave."

Before she finished speaking, Qiu Shi'an shook his head again and again: "How dare we slaves meddle in the affairs of the family today? If Lord Long Live changes his mind, the old slave will be the first to pick you up! But what about now? ——You might as well go back to cultivate yourself first, so that you can wait for the grace of Long Live God."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Rong broke her nails on the ground, then raised her fair neck, as if countless complaints were about to spew out.

However, in the end she slowly lowered her head again, allowing the little eunuchs to help her up, and gradually walked away like a prisoner being escorted.

Qiu Shi'an copied his hands, watched Concubine Rong go away, then turned around and was about to go back to Jingren Palace, when he suddenly remembered something.

So he turned around and asked the little eunuch who had just got up from the ground with blood all over his face, "Which hand touched it just now?"

The little eunuch trembled all over, quickly knelt down again, and said in a trembling voice: "If you go back to the ancestors, the servant really didn't touch it just now, it's Concubine Rong..."

"If you don't tell the truth, then you can't blame me."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Shi'an waved his hands impatiently: "Chop off both hands, and send a letter to Concubine Rong when you're done."

As he spoke, he gave a slight nod to Sun Shaozong, then turned around and returned to the palace gate.

Chapter 882

[It's really sad to have a cold and a fever plus Calvin. 】

gudu~

Stepping out of the Imperial Study Room of Jingren Palace, Sun Shaozong subconsciously swallowed his saliva, feeling hot in his throat, as if two taels of chili noodles had been mixed into his saliva.

Although it has long been expected that the emperor summoned him into the palace this time, it is very likely that he wanted to inquire about the details of "Puting the Law to the Countryside".

But Sun Shaozong really didn't expect that there would be such a big battle to welcome him—from surrendering to Fu He Tiren, all three cabinet ministers were present, not to mention three of the six ministers, and Sun Shaozong's old acquaintance Xu Furen, with Participate as a civilian.

These seven big brothers took turns to attack each other, and the problems became more acute one by one.

Especially He Tiren and Xu Furen, one had a needle hidden in the cotton, and the other pointed at the vital point. What they said was full of unclear and unexplained parts in the memorabilia. They really made Sun Shaozong sweat profusely.

Fortunately, the method of "Puting the Law to the Countryside" was borrowed by him from later generations. Even though the political systems are quite different, by analogy, he managed to get by.

But until the end, the emperor didn't make a clear statement, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied with his defense today.

But at least the emperor attached great importance to the proposal of "Puting the Law to the Countryside", otherwise he would not have put up such a battle.

…………

At the same time, in the Imperial Study Room of Jingyang Palace.

After two lengthy debates, all the ministers in the palace seemed to be a little bit less interested.

When Emperor Guangde saw this, he ordered someone to bring tea water to give it to him. He also took a bowl of almond tea and sipped it in small sips while breathing out the heat.

After a long while, he gently put down the tea bowl, stretched out his hand to take the handkerchief Qiu Shian handed over, and while wiping the corners of his mouth, he asked faintly: "How is it?"

These two words have no beginning and no end, but everyone in the hall knew it well, so they turned their attention to the first assistant, He Tiren.

He Tiren was also the only courtier who had a seat in the imperial study. He carefully handed back most of the tea that he had eaten to the little eunuch at the side, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve casually, then asked slowly: "Your Majesty asks Is it memorials, or people?"

"How about asking people?"

"He is well-versed in human nature but brave to do things. At a young age, he can embrace the world and make achievements that no one has done before. Given time, he will be the pillar of the country."

This evaluation is not low, but several important ministers in the court have almost no objection to this

Even though Sun Shaozong relied on the experience of later generations to barely support the past, but his unflappable posture all the time was amazing in the eyes of everyone.

In particular, some experience talks, put on the propaganda outlets of the grassroots in later generations, are all rotten things like old ladies' foot wraps, but they are quite deafening when placed in the present.

"What about this memorial?"

"The veteran thinks that we should think carefully and proceed slowly, and then choose a place near Gyeonggi to try it out to see the effect."

The emperor nodded slightly, and asked the other courtiers: "What do you love?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and when no one spoke, they said in unison: "The minister waits for a second opinion."

"Then let's discuss it again."

Emperor Guangde said, calling names: "Wang Shangshu and Xu Aiqing, both of you should write a memorandum to analyze the pros and cons of "Puting the Law to the Countryside" for me."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Furen frowned slightly, Wang Zhe, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, showed joy, and the expressions of the other important officials were also different.

Originally, there was a public opinion in the court, and Xu Furen will be promoted to the second assistant when he returns to Beijing this time, and his succession to the first assistant of the cabinet in the future is also a smooth matter.

But now the emperor puts him and Wang Zhe together for the school exam - it seems that the emperor is dissatisfied with him for showing his support for the prince.

…………

this afternoon.

Prince's Mansion.

More than a dozen pots of silver frost charcoal worked together to roast the dormitory like midsummer.

The prince was lying naked on an acacia chair with a protruding waist, his head was raised desperately, and he was looking hopefully at his crotch - there was a hand with a golden needle stuck there, slowly stretching towards his listless head. A half-headed ugliness.

knock knock knock

Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

The prince, who was concentrating on it, trembled at the sound of knocking on the door. Thanks to the hand that was twisting the golden needle, he retracted in time, otherwise he would have to poke the tip of the needle at the wheat awn!

The prince narrowly escaped the catastrophe, and immediately turned over and jumped off the acacia chair, grabbed the bath towel to protect his crotch, and cursed: "Which plague-stricken dog is outside, dare to come here to disturb at this time?! Come on!" Come, come in and die alone!"

There was a knock on the door outside, and then the door was pushed open a gap, a little eunuch knelt down on his knees, crawled in tremblingly, and said without daring to lift his head: "Your Highness, there is news from the palace... ..."

bang~

A copper candlestick was pressed against his shoulder and hit the door hard. The little eunuch shrank his neck in fright, kowtowed and cried, "Prince, please spare me, Prince, please spare me!"

"What are you panicking about, just keep talking!"

The prince scolded impatiently: "Didn't Gu explain it before, but any news from the palace, no matter what time it is, you have to report it?"

Hearing that he still remembered the original order, the little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and then reported again: "There is news from the palace that His Majesty has called Mr. Sun into the palace to discuss matters early this morning. Three elders and three ministers, Master Xu is also here..."

Hearing that Sun Shaozong was fighting all the heroes in the palace in the morning, and was praised by the chief assistant He Tiren as "the pillar of the country", the prince was overjoyed.

Although he himself praised similar words several times, but when these words came out of He Tiren's mouth, the weight was quite different.

especially……

He looked back at the person twisting the needle, and saw that Zhizhu was holding Zhizhu who was stroking his beard and smiling, and he felt more complacent, so he picked up another copper candlestick and smashed it at the little eunuch's head and face.

"Ah~!!"

This time he didn't miss it, the little eunuch who hit him was bloodied and cried, "Your Highness, didn't you just say..."

"What did Gu say?"

The prince stared, and shouted: "These two candlesticks have rewarded you, don't you think it's not enough?!"

As he spoke, he groped on the table again.

"Enough, enough, servant thank Your Highness for the reward!"

The little eunuch was so frightened that his soul flew away, he hurriedly picked up the two candlesticks and scrambled out of them.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the prince yelling from inside: "God, I let you go?!"

The little eunuch fell to the ground with a thud, but the prince's order came from behind him: "Send someone to Dali Temple to deliver a message, saying that we will hold a banquet in honor of Sun Aiqing tonight."

The little eunuch put his heart back into his stomach, hurriedly agreed, and left in a hurry, clutching his head.

"This dog is talented!"

The prince cursed again, then turned around, took the clothes and put them on his body.

"Your Highness."

At this time, the beard-twirling man suddenly said: "Can I let the poor Taoist meet Mr. Sun first at night?"

But it turned out that this person was the Taoist priest who forcibly put "Tui Bei Tu" on the prince's head in Wangjiang Tower that day.

The crown prince laughed: "You are absolutely indispensable!"

Chapter 883

【Finally the cold is almost gone, tomorrow...】

After receiving the invitation from the Prince's Mansion, Sun Shaozong knew in his heart that the news from the palace must have reached the Prince's ears.

Although the crown prince was not very favored, the empress's position as the lord of the six palaces did not change much because of this, and the question and answer in Jingren Palace was never deliberately kept secret from the outside world.

Therefore, after finding out the whole story, it is not difficult to pass it on to the Prince's residence.

Sun Shaozong also happened to want to go to the Prince's Mansion to meet the Taoist priest who bluffed about the destiny, so he gladly obeyed.

So he left Dali Temple half an hour earlier, went around and brought gifts to Wang Zhen's mansion first.

He had agreed early on to participate in his promotion banquet, but now even though the crown prince is calling, Sun Shaozong is still going to show his face at his mansion first, so as to save this guy from being nervous and thinking wildly.

But when he heard that Sun Shaozong was going to the Prince's Mansion for a banquet at night, Wang Zhen naturally didn't dare to stay longer, instead he sent Sun Shaozonggong out of the house out of honor.

Turning around, he bragged to the guests, saying that Mr. Sun was going to the Prince's banquet, but he took time out of his busy schedule to come to his house to congratulate him.

Not to mention how Wang Zhen pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner.

But when Sun Shaozong arrived at the prince's mansion, it was already sunset.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the corner gate, two people led the crowd out to welcome it.

The one who took the lead was the Prime Minister Wang Dexiu, while the other was half a step behind, dressed in a Taoist robe and a high crown belt, although his attitude was respectful, it was far from flattering like Wang Dexiu.

This should be the Taoist priest Uncle Zhao mentioned, right?

They even came out together with Wang Dexiu, it seemed that not only did he want to meet him for a while, but he probably also had the same thoughts.

That's kind of interesting!

Seeing Sun Shaozong squinting at the Taoist priest, Wang Dexiu quickly introduced: "Master Sun, this is Master Wang of the Louguan sect; Master Wang, this is..."

"Ha ha……"

Before Wang Dexiu could finish speaking, the real Wang laughed loudly, put the whisk on his arm, bowed and said: "The poor man has heard the name of Mr. Sun for a long time, and seeing him today is really extraordinary!"

Youdao is a person who stretches out his hand and doesn't hit the smiling face. Although Sun Shaozong was wary of this real Wang, he smiled and saluted him when he saw him being so flattering: "Don't dare to be a real person. Sun is also a mortal body. It’s all about being more majestic.”

Seeing that Wang Zhenren took advantage of the situation and stepped in, he said with a smile: "The extraordinary thing about Mr. Sun is not just his physique——His Highness is waiting in the backyard, so how about letting the poor lead him there?"

This Taoist has only been here for three or five days, but when he looked at the image, he had completely integrated into the Prince's Mansion.

Seeing that Wang Dexiu consciously retreated to the side, obviously not intending to accompany him, Sun Shaozong guessed that this real Wang probably wanted to take the opportunity to say something to him.

Could it be that he still wants to confuse himself with the destiny?

Sun Shaozong sneered in his heart, but on the face he obeyed his orders happily, and walked into the Prince's mansion with the real Wang.

As expected, not only Wang Dexiu was left behind, but even the servants who came out to meet him did not follow.

When the road was between the two gates and there was no one around, he heard the Taoist cough dryly, then slowed down and walked side by side with Sun Shaozong.

coming!

"Dissatisfied with Lord Sun, the reason why Pindao defected to the prince actually has a lot to do with you."

"Is there such a thing?"

Sun Shaozong gave him a sideways glance, and asked indifferently: "But how did I hear Uncle Zhao Guo said yesterday that the real person came here according to the destiny, and intends to help His Highness become a generation of Holy Lord?"
