==Chapter 7 Setting up a situation==
Qin Juan thought for a long time before saying: "Wine."
Guanglu Temple has tens of thousands of jars of fine wine.
Tantai Yi actually planned to burn the city.
Most of the houses in the capital are made of wood. Once a fire breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.
"I will ask Qin Tianjian to report to the court tomorrow and change the ceremony to be held in the palace due to the weather."
"Your Majesty, I feel that the two young ministers of Guanglu Temple and Taichang Temple are very likely to be working for Tantai Yi." Lu Zedao, "Do you want to take them?"
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, looked at Zhuang Sheng and said, "When did these two people become officials?"
Zhuang Sheng said: "The common people checked before they came here. They were all promoted by the Chu family seven years ago. One entered Taichang Temple and the other entered Guanglu Temple."
Seven years ago, the Chu family.
Although the Chu family is greedy, they have no thoughts of treason. It is not so much promoting the people of Tantai Yi as it is selling the face of the Duke of Zhen. After all, the Su family and the Chu family seven years ago, Already become in-laws.
"So, when Tantai Yi pretended to be the Duke of Zhenguo to promote the friendship between the two surnames, he not only wanted to provoke a dispute over the country, but also to make good friends with the Chu family?" Lu Ze shook his head in disbelief. Said: "Did he already have a backup plan for himself? No way..."
But the status of the Chu family——
The Chu family has been a member of the Chu family for generations, and their ancestors have contributed to the founding of the country. Three years ago, the three families of Xue, He, and Mu combined were no match for the Chu family. Regardless of the others, you will know when you look at the Queen Mother of Chu. She had no heirs, but she was able to secure her position as a queen. There were three thousand beauties in her harem, but none of them dared to surpass her. No matter how stupid and incompetent Emperor Jiaxuan was, he still understood the art of imperial checks and balances. When he personally promoted the three families of Xue, He, and Mu, it seems today that he was feeding a tiger into trouble, but his original intention was still to divide the power of the Chu family.
The Chu family handed over a lot of military power in order to make the emperor comfortable. Emperor Jiaxuan had the military talisman in his hand, so he no longer suppressed the Chu family.
The Chu family exchanged military power for political power. The Duke of Chu took the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. It seemed that he had taken a step back. However, the Ministry of Personnel was the head of the six departments and was in charge of the appointment and dismissal, performance evaluation, promotion and promotion of officials across the country, and the awarding of honors. As well as all transfers, taking charge of the official department is tantamount to having the power of life and death over hundreds of officials.
After that, from the Hanlin Academy to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, from the central government to the local governments, the Chu family was everywhere.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Chu family has the ability to supervise hundreds of officials.
Tantai Yi was married to the Queen Mother of Chu. It was easy to promote two people to insignificant positions.
Su Huaian said: "If Tantai Yi is not very careful, he will not be able to deceive so many people even if he takes a hundred steps. But if you think about it from another angle, he has the intention of forming a clique for personal gain and is on good terms with the Chu family. It’s normal to promote your own people.”
Lu Zedao: "Your Majesty, are you going to do it tonight?"
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Wait a little longer."
"But if Tantai Yiru is the empress, she will be suspicious tonight. Once he changes his appearance, it will be even harder to investigate." Lu Zedao.
"If Tantai Yi is captured, who can guarantee that there will not be another Tantai Yi? His success in Beijing is not due to himself, nor is it just these two people." Xiao Yu paused and said: "He Since the purpose has not been achieved, he will not leave the capital. Moreover, even if he becomes suspicious, he can only choose another one from the list."
Lu Ze guessed that the emperor wanted to fish for a long time, but he still said: "But... there are many people on the list. Even after screening, there are more than five people."
"Then force him to choose."
Lu Ze was stunned, and Qin Juan was also stunned, "Forcing him to choose...what does this mean?"
"May." Xiao Yu turned his finger and said softly: "Just enough to set up a game."
Su Huaian said: "Your Majesty, are you referring to this year's summer seedlings?"
This year's summer hunting is different from previous years. Missions from Tatar and Oara are coming to Beijing. The border has been uneasy in recent years. In order to enhance the country's prestige, we have recently discussed where to hold it. Honglu Temple has planned no less than three projects. Place.
This time when the emperor travels, important officials of fifth rank and above must accompany him.
There are only a few people on the roster who can accompany him.
Xiao Yu said "hmm" in a low voice.
This round is obviously not just for the Tantai Yi, the emperor wants to purge the entire court.
Lu Ze looked back at Su Huai'an and said with a smile: "But our Lord Huai is only in the seventh rank and cannot accompany him. If His Majesty personally promotes him, it will be too eye-catching. Otherwise, why don't you come to my Jinyi Guard?"
Su Huai'an smiled at Lu Ze and said, "You don't need to worry about it. I will enter the Criminal Department within three days."
Lu Zedao: "How do you get in?"
Su Huaian said: "Isn't Xue Xiangyang trying to arrest Su Huaian? I'll help him."
Lu Ze frowned.
Yes.
Xue Xiangyang is in trouble again.
The Yangxin Hall was brightly lit. Two hours later, Lu Ze looked at the map of the Great Zhou Dynasty and said: "When the Wala Division comes to Beijing, the Governor of Yuzhou will also come to Beijing..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ze almost bit his tongue.
There was silence in the Yangxin Hall.
A sudden bird chirping outside the window seemed to be scolding Lu Yanqing for talking too much.
The governor of Yuzhou is He Zichen, the second son of the He family.
But why did He Zichen deploy the border?
Four years ago, shortly after Xiao Yu ascended the throne, he issued a transfer order to Erlang of the He family. The position of governor-general seemed to outsiders to be a sign of the emperor's trust and to win over the He family, but in the eyes of several people in the palace, this was not the case.
Su Ling still doesn't understand why he clings to He Zichen. She has never seen He Zichen since they got married, but she can't ask about these things.
Probably only Lu Ze knows the reason for this. I recall that when Erlang of the He family was on overseas duty, he would send a letter back to Beijing every few days. There were a total of three or six letters to Su Ling. Except for the first letter, the rest were rejected without exception. When Yu stopped, Su Ling didn't see every word of affection in He Zichen's letter, recalling the past, but Xiao Yu didn't miss a letter.
In order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Yu even asked someone to imitate Su Ling's handwriting and replied to He Zichen twice.
During the silence, Eunuch Sheng, the interpretive flower, came again. He held the decoction and said respectfully: "I gave the medicine to your majesty and put it here."
Lu Ze coughed twice and said: "Your Majesty, please rest early. I will go and watch the Qin Mansion first."
************
After returning to Jingren Palace, Xiao Yu held Qin Juan's hand and said solemnly: "I know you feel you owe the Qin family, and I will not let anything happen to the Qin family."
This is what Qin Huan said.
Xiao Yu looked into her eyes, pulled her into his arms, and leaned on the couch. Just as he was about to lower his head and kiss her, he heard the door creaking——
Xiao Yu and Qin Wen turned around together and saw a short leg sticking out from the crack in the door. Before the other foot even touched the ground, Eunuch Sheng let out a "huh" sound and grabbed his body. , said: "Why is the eldest prince here alone?"
Xiao Yun held the doorframe with her hand and poked her head in again, staring at Qin Juan with red eyes, crying in a low voice: "Aniang, Aniang."
Qin Juan immediately stood up and said: "Eunuch, let the eldest prince come in quickly."
Eunuch Sheng was ordered to let go, and Xiao Yun immediately ducked into the house.
Seeing that Xiao Yu was here, he sniffed, stood up straight, and wrote: "My son, my son, I would like to pay my respects to my father."
Qin Juan sat up and waved to him, "Come here, come to grandma."
Xiao Yun quickly ran over, threw herself at Qin Juan’s legs, and called out, "Auntie."
Qin Juan hugged him on her lap, patted his back, put her lips against his ear, and said softly: "What's wrong, huh?"
Looking at the intimate couple, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but soften his eyes a little, and said to Mr. Sheng, “Where is Aunt Yuan?”
A sound of footsteps hurriedly arrived, and Hu Huo knelt on the ground and said, "Mama Yuan was ill yesterday and was not at the side of the eldest prince. Today, it is all because of the servant's fault. Your Majesty and the Empress are here to punish her."
Qin Juan patted Xiao Yun's back and said, "What's going on?"
Hu Hue said: "My servant spoke freely today and told the eldest prince about the queen's return to the mansion to visit her relatives. As a result, the eldest prince neither spoke nor ate all afternoon, so he had to wait for the queen to come back. Just now, the servant thought The eldest prince has already fallen asleep, and I really didn’t expect that... the eldest prince would come over alone."
The maids in Jingren Palace are usually good at what they do. Qin Juan also knew that she had no bad intentions, so she paused and said, "Okay, you can go down first."
As if being granted amnesty, Amber bowed and retreated.
Qin Juan lowered her head and pinched her son's ears and said, "Why don't you sleep?"
Xiao Yun held Qin Juan's sleeves in her hands and waited for a long time before saying: "I thought that my mother and concubine would never come back..."
Qin Juan rubbed his shoulders and said, "You are here, why don't you come back?"
Xiao Yun raised her eyes, looked at Qin Juan and said: "But after the concubine left the palace... she never came back."
Hearing this, Qin Juan probably understood.
For children, a little knowledge about things like life and death is obviously more terrifying than nothing.
Qin Juan hugged Xiao Yun tightly, patted him, and softly comforted him: "I promise you that I will never leave you, okay?"
Xiao Yun tapped her little head on Qin Juan’s chest.
The emperor leaned on the couch and looked at the mother and son. The affection in his eyes suddenly changed a bit.
I will never leave you.
He had never heard these words even when he was deeply in love.
Qin Juan whispered softly in Xiao Yun's ear: "How about I take you to Nuange, my concubine? It's getting late, you should go to bed, okay?"
Xiao Yun raised his head, the sadness and reluctance in his eyes were beyond words, and he said wistfully: "Concubine, will you leave soon?"
Qin Juan patted him and said, "If you don't leave, my mother will stay with you."
Xiao Yun tightened her fists again.
Xiao Yu’s temple couldn’t help but jump.
Qin Juan turned around and looked at Xiao Yu, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Yun'er may miss the concubine today. I will carry him back to the Nuan Pavilion first, okay?"
The tone was as gentle as water, but the determination in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
"Aling, he is the eldest son of the emperor. He is almost four years old now. You shouldn't spoil him like this." This sentence swirled around the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth and changed to, "Go ahead, he is still young." , it’s the time to rely on others, I will go back to the Yangxin Palace tonight to save you the trouble at night.”
Qin Juan stood up with Xiao Yun in her arms and looked at Xiao Yu with a more sincere gaze, "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yu watched one large and one small disappear from his eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth also disappeared.
