On New Year's Day, a hundred officials took a break, and only the officials from the Criminal Department of Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion were happily working in their offices, mentally trying to drown the assassinated mastermind with their saliva.
In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, Emperor Shunning was still reviewing the memorial.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zeng has brought news to Liangzhou. Disaster relief money and food are being distributed in full. The people are settling in, and the uprising has begun to be suppressed. It is expected that the settlement will be completed and returned to Beijing in the second half of the first month." Zhao Xinjin reported to Emperor Shun Ning , and handed the letter to Emperor Shuning.
Emperor Shunning took the letter and read it, his face slowly softened: "Okay, okay, now the people in Liangzhou don't have to starve anymore, and the revolting people also slowly surrendered when they saw that there was food. They are just I was forced to have no choice. I, Daliang, still care about the people. I also told Zeng Weishu to return to Beijing immediately after all the matters of the uprising are resolved, leaving the left minister of the household department behind. The minister does not need to come back in a hurry. He will stay in Liangzhou for a few months to inspect the people and wait for the spring. Plant food before returning to Beijing."
"Yes, I'll go and deliver the news right away." After Zhao Xin said that, he saluted and left.
Just halfway through, Emperor Shun Ning shouted that he had something to come back.
Zhao Xin quickly turned around and saluted: "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Ask the prince to come see me." Emperor Shunning approved the memorial
Zhao Xin said yes, saluted and left.
At this time, our Queen Mother Yan in Prince Yan’s Mansion is choosing a marriage partner for His Highness Prince Yan.
"Yu'er, I heard that the eldest daughter of Minister Zhou is seventeen years old this year. She is virtuous and dignified. She is proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a good appearance. She is worthy of you, and she also has this..." Su Taifei said. An endless stream
Xiao Yu rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Mother and concubine, that's enough. I have no plans to get married yet. I'll just wait."
Concubine Su got angry and slapped Xiao Yu on the forehead: "Wait a minute, when will you wait? You are already twenty-one. If you are not ashamed, I will be ashamed. Look at Xiao Liu, he is almost a baby." Yes, you are looking at you, you are ashamed. You must get married this year, I will ask the emperor to issue an edict to see what you have to say."
"Mother, no, I promise you, but I have to choose the person myself, okay?"
Concubine Su softened slightly: "Yes, if you can't do it, don't recognize me as your mother-in-law next year."
Xiao Yu was in a dilemma: "Mother and concubine..."
"What is this? You just promised me. You can take care of it yourself. Let's go back to the palace."
After saying that, he led the palace maid away.
"Concubine, please finish your meal before leaving." Xiao Yu shouted from behind
Concubine Su pretended she didn't hear anything and left immediately.
At this time, the guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, this is the Qingzhou army plan and the main generals sent by the emperor."
Xiao Yu glanced at it and rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Put it in the study and keep it in a safe place. I'll go for a walk and come back to look at it in the evening."
The guards were ordered to leave
Xiao Yu led Ye Ran, who was hanging by one hand, and the secret guards hiding in the dark, walking on the streets of the imperial city with mixed feelings. Am I going to be a child without a mother in a year?
There was also the matter of the assassination. Xiao Yu was lost in thought.
I was assassinated only one and a half hours after the emperor's brother gave the order to when I left the palace. This means that the emperor's side already has an insider. If it was really the fourth brother who did it, then it would be fine. If it was someone from Da Chen, the consequences would be disastrous. The emperor My brother must have noticed something. He must have made a secret decree, and it was Zhao Xin who made the secret decree. If something unexpected happens to the person who was ordered, there will be an answer. Moreover, the emperor's brother must have sent people to secretly protect this person.
If it weren't for Zhao Xin, the one who was given the secret order could still do things secretly. When the emperor brother issued the decree that day, in addition to Zhao Xin, there was also Minister Zuo Prime Minister Bai Shuyun. That means that if it was really the fourth brother who did it, then Bai Xiang was a party to the King of Chu.
Then who is the one who was given the secret order? The one who bumped into me in the palace yesterday was thinking about something.
Li Jingnan!
"Ye Ran, go to Li Mansion." Xiao Yu said quickly
Ye Ran was stunned: "Li Mansion? Which Li Mansion??"
Xiao Yu glanced at him and said, "Li Jingnan, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment."
"Oh, yes." After saying that, the two of them rushed to Li's house.
At this time, our Miss Chen is idle at home and getting moldy
"My two brothers are not here, and the Chinese New Year is too boring. Xiao Ming, let's go out for a walk." Chen Xinyu sat in the yard
Xiao Ming was in a dilemma: "Miss, the master said that the capital has been uneasy recently, and asked you not to go out if you have nothing to do. Moreover, the master is also in the house today, and he will not let you go out."
Chen Xinyu sighed: "Oh, okay, then I have to endure it. Wait until the sixth day of the lunar month so that I can go to Qingzhou to see my brother."
Xiao Ming smiled: "I think the young lady wants to see Prince Yan."
Chen Xinyu was stunned and her face turned red: "Hey, Xiao Ming, you are so brave. You dare to speak ill of your master. Let's see how I deal with you."
"Hey, miss, I know I was wrong, and I will never say it again." Xiao Ming covered her mouth and snickered.
Chen Xinyu glanced at her and smiled: "Okay, I admit that I was a little happy when I thought of meeting King Yan. Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's go make dumplings."
Xiao Ming was confused: "Miss, can you do it?"
"Isn't it possible to learn?" After saying that, he took Xiao Ming to the dining room.
At this time, Prince Xiao Yunli was discussing matters with Emperor Shuning in the imperial study room of the palace.
"The disaster situation in Liangzhou is being resolved. When next spring comes, you can go and inspect it. You can't always stay in the palace. You still have to practice and see the people of Daliang." Shun Ning said.
"Yes, my father. In fact, I have had this idea for a long time, but I haven't mentioned it to my father yet." the prince said.
"I know you have this intention. My Taizu of Daliang was a military general with extraordinary prowess. From Daliang to my fourth generation as emperor, I must be proficient in horseback riding and archery. I think I was only fifteen years old when I went on an expedition with your emperor's grandfather, so did you. Likewise, you must go out into the field to practice, and you must not fall behind in your civil, political, and martial arts. If you can only study dead science, you will not be able to govern the country."
"My son has remembered it," the prince understood.
"Well, this time your fifth uncle goes to the border to set up defenses, you should go with him and learn from your fifth uncle."
"Really? Thank you very much, Father!" The prince smiled happily.
"Well, I know that you have a good relationship with your fifth uncle. You learned your horse riding and archery skills from him. I also watched your fifth uncle grow up. I also have a deep relationship with him. I feel relieved that you can follow him. But Be sure to ensure your own safety when you go.”
"My son knows that it is dangerous to go there, but I promise my father that I will protect myself, learn from experience, feel the suffering of the people, and return to the capital safely," the prince said.
Emperor Shunning saw the light in the prince's eyes
