Chapter 677: The Nemesis of Heroes and Treacherous Males

The new monarch ascended the throne, and Li Qingjia, the prince of the Ministry of Works, who was originally in charge of the Ministry of War, was reappointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Zhao Li moved to Nanjing as the secretary of the Criminal Department. Although now that the crown prince has gone south to worship the filial piety mausoleum, there is news that the emperor seems to be planning to move the capital back to Nanjing, but this still has not dispelled the depression in his heart. You must know that even if the emperor comes back, the ministers of the six ministries and five prefectures must come back with him, and at that time, he may have to transfer his position as the secretary of the criminal department to others, but now he is the oldest among the books of the Nanjing Ministry, and he is still a sentence.

It's just that who would have thought that sitting behind closed doors would happen to strange things? This is so good, someone actually tied up the Tang Qian, who had been arrested for a long time, and sent it to the Criminal Department. At first, he was afraid that someone would take the credit, but after a few old men in Jinyi identified him, he had no doubts, and immediately ordered someone to go to prison, and asked someone to report to Liu Guan. After this thing was done, he felt relieved at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and in the end, he only felt that this thing was extremely strange.

"Lord Liu is back!"

Zhao Yi dealt with Liu Guan many times when he was in the capital, and he knew his temperament very well, so when he saw the person entering the door with a spring breeze on his face, he chuckled in his heart. So, they sat down with each other and chatted a few words, Liu Guan said that he was going to bring people back for interrogation, and he didn't dare to agree easily, so he only prevaricated and said that he had already gone to tell the prince. However, Liu Guan had just been frustrated in the Taiping Tower, where was he willing to let go here, and immediately sacrificed the killer weapon of Qincha. In the end, the helpless Zhao Yan had to let go. Although he couldn't stop this, he had an extra heart, but he ordered a few henchmen to go to the homes of each lord to spread the news.

And Zhang Yue, who came out of the Taiping Building, was blocked by so many Wu sergeants, and seeing that they were all pitiful, he simply put up the shelves of his predecessors and taught them a lesson, and when he felt that they were all honest, he ordered everyone to change to an inn near the Qianning Palace, and not to move around outside these days, or to have any radical actions, and instructed two more sentences.

"When I accompanied Neiko back to my hometown and province, I once passed by Suzhou Mansion, and I heard about those things. If Governor Luo is really as you and the people say, I will let people think of a way. In a word, you are a student, use your brains more in everything, and don't put yourself and other people's futures into it. Sometimes, it's never a good thing to be too aggressive. ”

Seeing that several people thanked each other and left together, Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile. At this time, Hu Qi, who had been silent, stepped forward and sighed softly: "Look at this, I don't have to go to Suzhou that time." ”

Zhang Yue looked back at Niu Dang and Zhang Bu who were not far away, and saw that the stubborn cow was talking to Zhang Bu by himself, as if he didn't remember that he had succeeded in a hero under Liu Guan's nose today, so he shook his head: "No need to go." There is no need to fan the flames, and now the entire Suzhou Mansion is already full of excitement. The eyes of the people are clear, incorruptible and greedy, capable and incompetent, they are not unclear. It's just that that Luo Zhifu can win praise from both the people and the scholars, which is indeed rare. ”

Hu Qi nodded while listening, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "It's just that I don't understand, why did the young master dissuade them?" Confucian scholars are the most important thing in the imperial court, as long as they make trouble, the reputation of the Imperial Court will be ruined! There are few excellent imperial histories in the south of the Yangtze River, and wouldn't it be better to have them all from top to bottom? When the emperor and the new monarch ascended the throne, he must be the most concerned about the Shilin style. ”

"If you care about these things that you can't see or touch, the emperor will almost beat Li Shimian to death? Will he almost kill Shu Zhongcheng? Would Liu Guan be sent to investigate the case at such a time, instead of killing Liu Jun outright? Zhang Yue asked three rhetorical questions in a row, and Hu Qi was speechless, and then sneered, "Wind criticism is a double-edged sword, if I instigate Xu Huo and a few of them to make trouble today, I will send the handle to Liu Guan." He was frustrated today, and he must fight back, and now he must go back to interrogate Tang Qian and do some other articles. In that case, I also have to contact the capital. ”

"The young master is right."

"Today, Lord Yuan has high means, but not every time he can turn evil into good fortune like this. You've heard what I said before, that a person who walks one path is more trustworthy than a person who steps on two boats. No matter what the emperor used Liu Guan out of his mind, but that was the person he reprimanded when he was the crown prince, and he would never trust it wholeheartedly. Of course, I can't participate in him, but I still have Uncle Datang in Beijing, as well as my father-in-law and Yang Gelao, and Liu Guan can't cover the sky with one hand. By the way, since I just told people that you are Xiao Xia's staff member recommended to me, you should follow me these days. ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Yue took everyone back to Yingtianfu, and immediately a soap Li stepped forward to say that Yin Zhangxu had been looking for him for a while, and even sent someone to Yingtianfu to find it. So, he immediately sent Hu Qi and others back to the official room to wait, and hurried to see Zhang Xu. As soon as he looked at him, this Ying Tianfu Yin, who had always been calm, walked forward quickly.

"Where is Brother Zhang, let me find it easily! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just passed down the order, in addition to the ministers of the five prefectures and six departments of Nanjing, there will be a few more accompanying officers, and you and I are among them. Because we will worship the mausoleum in a few days, we have to go to Chaotian Palace to practice etiquette with us, and at the same time we have to fast there, and the affairs of the yamen can only be handed over to others in these days. ”

This time, Zhu Zhanji went to Nanjing with many civil and military forces, and the procession to worship Xiaoling was already mighty, so Zhang Yue never imagined that such a troublesome thing would fall from the sky. The accompanying officer has always been a civil official of more than five grades, and a military attache of more than four grades, and his grade is just in it, but it can really be said that the civil official who was ordered to accompany Zhu Zhanji to salute this time is either a minister of the ministry or a Hanlin official, Zhang Xu can also be said to be the official of the seal who governs Yingtianfu, what is the matter with him joining in this excitement?

I didn't want to return, but since this kind of thing was the order of the prince, there was no room for shirk, so Zhang Yue complied, and sent someone home to get some sacrificial clothes and other things, and then returned to the study to hurriedly prepare a letter to Beijing. It was easy to write all the letters to Zhang Fu, Du Zhen and Yang Shiqi, and he gave them all to Hu Qi, and then ordered: "I don't know how long I will delay in Chaotian Palace, it is inconvenient to contact there, so if there is anything you can think about yourself, if it is urgent, go to the young grandmother to discuss, if you can't decide again, go to Lord Yuan." Don't alarm him, he's being watched too closely now. ”

Hu Qi agreed, put away all the letters, and when he heard the last sentence, he smiled and said: "The young master probably forgot, although Liu Guan is said to be the minister of the Qincha, but for such a major event as the mausoleum, how can he, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, not go?" He had to be locked up in the Chaotian Palace for ten days and eight days, and there were just some henchmen outside. There are so many people such as the Mu family and the Xu family staring, and nothing can happen. ”

Zhang Yue thought of this stubble at this time, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, nodded and ordered Hu Qi to go out to do errands, and called Niu Dang and Zhang Bu, so that they don't have to follow these days, and only take care of the home and nursing home with peace of mind. In the evening, Du Juan sent someone to send all the clothes and so on, and he was about to go to Chaotian Palace with Zhang Xu, but Peng Shisan suddenly came to him.

"There's an accident at the Qianning Palace."

Just one sentence made Zhang Yue stunned. In the past, the three Nanjing soldiers and garrisons became Mu Xin, the captain of the horses, plus Zheng He and Wang Jinghong, two eunuchs, he lightly and skillfully took these two ends, which can be said to be more convenient than when Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and Li Long, the Bo of Xiangcheng, were there, and now at this moment, what else will happen? glanced at Zhang Xu, who was about to get into the car outside, his brows were twisted together.

"Originally, it was a family affair of the Mu family, but it involved Princess Changning before, and it became a state affair. One of the concubines in the family of the master of the horse didn't know which one was crazy, and shouted that Mu Ma had abused the princess at the beginning...... Ahem, anyway, in the end, in a fit of rage, he beat people to death with a big board. Now that the news should have spread, whether it is true or not, at this moment, I am afraid that Mu Juma will not have any good fruit to eat. ”

This kind of sudden thing greatly surprised Zhang Yue, but thinking of the battle that Mu Xin had done to celebrate his son's birthday before, Zhang Yue had to sigh deeply. The princess is still a group of concubines, and the princess is still favored after her death, which is probably only the children of these heroes who founded the country. Mu Xin's son Mu Ying is the king of Qianning, his brother Mu Sheng is the prince of Qianguo, and he is a concubine, the arrogance and arrogance in his bones can't be faded, and it's not strange to be angry and kill people now.

However, the concubine who made trouble was really suspicious, and it was at such a time!

It happened suddenly, Zhang Yue didn't have time to think about it, and said to Peng Shisan: "In this way, you go back and tell Sister Wan in detail about this matter, let her keep an eye on it more, and if there is something, she will make up her mind." If things are really out of control, let her write a letter to the eldest aunt to mention it...... Well, forget it, don't take this kind of thing to alarm them...... It's really not good, try to talk to Gonggong Zheng! ”

Peng Shisan also knew that this could only be done in a hurry, so he discussed a few more words with Zhang Yue and left in a hurry. Due to the sudden pressure on such a thing in his heart, Zhang Yue was inevitably a little absent-minded when he went out to board the carriage, and it was not until Zhang Xu opened his mouth to ask that he woke up. Because of the transfer to Nanjing, he and Zhang Xu got along quite well, and at this time he simply did not hide it, he told the whole thing as it was, and spread his hands with a wry smile: "I can't understand why everything is crowded together!" ”

"Something like this happened in Mufu......"

Although most of the most trusted and powerful nobles have gone to Beijing, Nanjing is still a place where powerful people gather, and Zhang Xu, the Yin of Ying Tianfu, is really not good, and he feels embarrassed to understand what is going on. After thinking about it, he didn't bother to think about it so much, so he just shook his head and said: "This is the family affair of Mu Mansion, and it is the family affair of the Son of Heaven, after all, Princess Changning has also passed away for so many years." This word was spread at the beginning, but the first emperor didn't care, and now the emperor will not let the Mu family go unnoticed because of this. ”

Despite the harsh words, the two people in the car knew that this was indeed true. Compared with the prince, the princess has never been important - after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, the former Xining Marquis Song Hu married the emperor's half-sister Princess An Cheng, but the result was the same because of impeachment, Princess An Cheng didn't even plead for intercession. And the late Princess Yongping was posthumously deposed as a concubine, and there was not even a person to intercede. The princess wants to say that dignity is dignity, and if you want to say insignificant, it is insignificant.

Nanjing Chaotian Palace is said to have been built by Wu Wangfu at first, after the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, and then repaired again in the early Ming Dynasty, it is the most prestigious Taoist temple on the ground of Jinling, and it has always been the place where the officials practice etiquette during the great dynasty or sacrifice. At this moment, Zhang Yue and Zhang Xu stopped in front of the tall and majestic eastward mountain gate and walked in.

There are stele pavilions on the left and right of the mountain gate, one is the word of the Chaotian Palace to be rebuilt by order, and the other is the handwritten inscription of Zhu Yuanzhang of the Hongwu Emperor, so the two of them salute in front of the stele since they entered the door. Because Zhang Yue was in the capital after being conferred the official, even if there were etiquette in Lingji Palace, it was the first time to come back here, and Zhang Xu, who knew the way, had to explain along the road. Walk all the way, just see the palace view is prosperous, even the rooms are side by side, the palace is heavy eaves and high roofs, there are three clear halls in front, there are Datong Ming halls in the back, countless palaces and pavilions are dotted in the meantime, more and more appear to be imposing.

After the Xi Yi Pavilion, Zhang Yue felt that his eyes suddenly opened up. I saw that in front of me was a huge square with a length and width of hundreds of steps, all paved with bluestone, spacious enough to accommodate thousands of people. Thinking that he would be practicing the ritual of sacrificing the mausoleum here step by step in the next few days, he only felt that the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and he sighed in his heart.

"Master Zhang, Lord Xiao Zhang."

Hearing this call, Zhang Yue hurriedly turned around and saw that it was a twenty-seven or eighteen eunuch, and his face seemed to be a little familiar. Seeing the man saluting with a smile on his face, he suddenly remembered that this was the entourage that Huang Run had brought that day, that is, the guy who was suspected of being Cao Jixiang. However, since Zhang Xu didn't know anyone, he just nodded slightly.

"The rooms of the two adults have been arranged, and they are in the same place. Because there are a lot of attendants in the mausoleum this time, I can only invite the two generals to take a look. As he spoke, he waved his hand to let a person who knew the guest come up, bowed again, and said, "The luggage of the two adults has been sent over just now, so let him guide Lord Zhang to rest first." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has to summon Lord Xiao Zhang, please come with the little one. ”

Zhang Xu had no objection to such an arrangement, but when he heard that the prince had summoned Zhang Yue, he thought a little more in his heart, and left first after saying a few words to Zhang Yue. And here Zhang Yue followed the eunuch out of the small door next to him, walked along the path for a while, and then he asked: "Huang Gonggong mentioned it that day, your name is auspicious?" At a young age, he has already walked beside the prince, and he must be able to do it. ”

"Yes, little Cao Jixiang." The eunuch smiled when he heard this, so he bent down in front of him, and didn't notice what Zhang Yue's expression was behind him, so he only said to himself, "The little one and a father-in-law learned to recognize some words, so the little one was chosen by Gonggong Huang in the East Palace." The little one has always heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mention adults, and he has only seen it from afar before, but he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to ask for advice now. ”

Zhang Yue looked at the old man for a long time behind him, and he couldn't see that this guy had the arrogant appearance of the future, so he couldn't help but smile slightly. Whether it is a hero or a traitor, there must always be a chance to get on the throne, and if you want to prevent it, now the cooking is naturally simple. Having said that, if he can't become a hero and a traitor can't become a hero, wouldn't he become the nemesis of both?
