Originally, they enlisted the Song family as their backers and the Ming Prince's Palace as their scapegoat. Not only did they make a fortune, but they also tricked the Ming Prince's Palace and arranged for the young people they liked. They would have a lot of success in the future. usefulness.
But I didn't expect that the matter would become so big and alarm the Dali Temple. The emperor was furious and ordered the officials of the Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation. Now it is seen that the Song family and the Ming Palace have been traced.
If the investigation continues, Sheng Nanhua may be in danger.
Sheng Nanhua was one of King Sui's confidants and the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. King Sui could use him to dispatch some officials. If something happened to Sheng Nanhua, it would be like cutting off one of King Sui's arms.
King Sui looked gloomy: "How is the investigation of the man who went to Dali Temple to complain? Who is he?"
Someone present stood up and bowed, and then replied: "Your Majesty, I have found out that she is not from someone else. She is a young peasant girl from Jiangzhou."
"The woman had a fiancé before, and the family saved money for him to study. Unexpectedly, after the fiancé passed the exam, he was attracted by a girl from aristocratic family in the state capital. So the fiancé not only refused to acknowledge the engagement, but instead brought He insulted his fiancée’s family and made his father angry to death.”
"The girl only had her old father as a relative in her family. Now that her old father was gone, she took the risk and found out privately that her fiancé had bought the test questions. She came to the Imperial City and reported the matter to Dali Temple."
The imperial examination matter is related to the foundation of the family and the country. After the Minister of Dali Temple learned about it, he sent someone to investigate privately. After this investigation, he found that it was true, and then reported it to the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered the Minister of Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation. , the ongoing Chunwei directly shouted to stop, and many people were arrested on the spot.
They wouldn't be afraid if someone else came to investigate. They had borrowed two people to do the trick before. One was a student of Taifu Song. The student was apparently a student of Taifu Song, but in fact, he had secretly taken refuge with King Sui. This matter passed through his hands, and if he was found out, he would be killed in the Song family.
Moreover, this student also had some contacts with Su Ran. If it didn't work out, he would grab Su Ran and drag the Ming Palace into trouble.
As early as when King An was still the crown prince, the daughter of the Song Taifu was the crown prince. The Song family and Prince An were from the same family, and they had a deep hatred with Prince Sui's palace.
Later, King An was deposed, and the Song family also had no good results. Song Wanting was the princess of King An. Song Pingting was retaliated by the Qian family because of the Song family's calculation of Qian Wulai, and her innocent marriage was ruined. Now in the imperial city, she is nothing more than It's just a declining family that bears the name of a great master.
Recently, the Ming Palace has done a lot of things, and the situation is somewhat unfavorable to the Sui Palace. Such an incident happened to muddy the waters, make a fortune, and use two of his enemies as a shield. , it can be said that there is no harm at all.
But I never expected that things would go directly to Dali Temple.
Where is Dali Temple? Specialized in examining murder cases, anything that could not be found locally was handed over to the Dali Temple, and even King Sui could not reach in.
If this person falls into the hands of Dali Temple, something will definitely happen.
How could such a mistake happen?
Someone said: "Now that the matter has come to this, we definitely can't let the matter be traced to Shanda people. If it doesn't work, it's better to abandon the soldiers and save the car..."
The implication is that he wants the life of Taifu Song's student.
That student was originally chosen by King Sui and sent to the Song family in the early years, and he had always hidden it deeply. But now, naturally he is not as important as Sheng Nanhua.
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel are the most powerful. The Minister of the Ministry of War is in charge of the dispatch of some troops, while the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment of officials. Whether they are promoted or transferred, they all have to go through the Ministry of Personnel.
The two ministers are old men who have been with the emperor for many years, and they are loyal. Others can't benefit from them, but the minister still has a certain say. As long as he doesn't touch things he shouldn't touch, the minister will do the same. Give them some face.
"That's probably all it can do."
"If he falls into the hands of Dali Temple, Shanda people will be in danger..."
Prince Sui's Mansion was discussing how to abandon the soldiers and save the chariot. In the Taiji Palace, the emperor received the memorial from the Minister of Dali Temple. His face was terrifyingly gloomy. He put it in his hand and read it carefully three times, but his expression did not soften at all.
After a long time, he said: "You should go back first and keep a close eye on this matter."
"Yes." Mr. Fu's expression remained unchanged, he kowtowed and bowed before leaving.
When he left the gate of Tai Chi Palace, he saw the chamberlain's Eunuch hurriedly walking out. Master Fu shouted: "Eunuch Liu, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Oh, where else can we go?" Eunuch Liu laughed twice, "Your Majesty has summoned Prince Zhao and the Crown Prince."
"Then Eunuch Liu, please go quickly."
Eunuch Liu said: "Master Fu, please go slowly. The Za family will take a step ahead."
Master Fu looked at Eunuch Liu's retreating figure, but he couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, and he felt a little worried.
His Majesty is getting older, and many years of political affairs have worn away his ambition and iron-bloodedness. In political affairs, he is still a wise king for the people, but when it comes to children and successors, he often cannot make up his mind and cannot be ruthless. Come.
When he was fighting for the throne, his hands were stained with the blood of his brothers, because if he didn't fight, he and King Zhao would die, and he also had ambitions and wanted to become an emperor.
But when it comes to his children, he is actually very merciful.
A child conceived by a noblewoman from a noble family like King Sui should not have been born at all. Once he was born, it represented a game between the royal family and the noble family.
King An Zhao Mingqi made mistakes many times. He thought about Queen Yuan and tolerated many times. He even made a big mistake later. Princess An was pregnant with a child. He still wanted to pave the way for the child. If King An hadn't broken his leg, if it hadn't been for the child's death, , I still don’t know how it is now.
He dragged King Ming and King Sui into the ring to control the balance of the court, but these two people were obviously not qualified to be emperors. King Sui had a sensitive status and was ruthless and unethical in his actions. King Ming did whatever he wanted and sometimes went crazy.
Of these two, I'm afraid one will be a tyrant and the other will be a coward.
King Zhao and Zhao Mingzhan arrived very quickly, and soon they appeared in the Taiji Palace. The emperor screened away the people in the palace and handed the memorial to the two of them.
After the two people looked at each other, his eyes swept over them, and then he asked: "Do you still have the same idea as before about that matter?"
The question was about whether Zhao Mingzhan wanted to be the crown prince. At first, Zhao Mingzhan was unwilling and recommended the young Ninth Prince.
The emperor was unwilling to take advantage of others, and his own son was not good enough, so he had no choice but to turn to his nephew.
Prince Zhao and his son looked at each other, and Zhao Mingzhan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my nephew thinks it's great now. It's still my original idea."
