Red House Shoufu

Chapter 195 Who is the mastermind behind the scenes
Due to the fact that the White Lotus Sect gathered people to rebel, the emperor basically did not leave the Palace of Qinzheng since the end of the Great Dynasty.

When the time passed, Xia Shouzhong walked into the Hall of Qinzheng with a stack of memorials.

"My lord, the cabinet and the five armies' governor's office have already issued an order to transfer [-] elite soldiers from Zuo Wu and You Wu and hand them over to Xu Jingsi. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War have also sent papers, and the military equipment, food and grass are all ready."

The emperor opened them for review one by one, and when he saw the booklet from the Ministry of Households, it was written that the county magistrate Rongjia had sent a total of more than 50,000 taels of military gifts. My heart has grown a few holes."

"The county magistrate is probably thinking that the soldiers listened to Xueshi Lin's order to fight against the bandits, and he should be grateful to the soldiers for shedding blood for the country, and it is a taboo to reward them, so he sent these things in the name of the emperor."

Xia Shouzhong told the emperor about the Lin family's purchases in the capital, and sighed: "Those noble girls mostly pay attention to rouge, gouache, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the county head. The sage of the sage. I have lived most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen a woman with such a delicate heart."

Hahahaha...

The emperor laughed, finished all the papers in his hand, rubbed his sore wrist and said: "How can ordinary women be compared with Rong Jia? Either they are addicted to rouge and gouache or they are addicted to intrigue. They have no heroine style, even if they can do it." A few excellent poems can also make people praise a talented woman."

"What the emperor said is that there are not many talented women in the whole capital. The emperor is really discerning, and he saw the extraordinaryness of the county magistrate early on."

Xia Shouzhong sighed in admiration and cleared the table on the dragon case.He asked: "The old slave will send the booklet to the cabinet right now? Is there any order from the emperor?"

The emperor thought about it for a while, and said to Xia Shouzhong: "Go and announce Lao Jiu into the palace...and also, call Jia Amnesty!"

……

Gao Yongheng and Jia Amnesty hurried into the palace, and the emperor handed Lin Shu's secret performance to them.

Gao Yongheng read the secret memorial and expressed his speculation: "According to what was said in the secret memorial, the person who fought Jia Lian once revealed his identity, and he seems to be very familiar with Jia Lian's past. In addition, the escaped Wan Zhongyuan , it can be deduced that this group of mysterious elites is likely to be the private soldiers of Yizhong Palace."

"I do have a different opinion."

Jia She cupped his hands and said, "According to common sense, Wan Zhongyuan is the father of Prince Yizhong's concubine. It is not surprising that this group of mysterious soldiers and horses who appeared outside Damingfu City belonged to Prince Yizhong. But it happened so coincidentally." Coincidentally, we can tell at a glance that this is Prince Yizhong's rebellion. Aren't they afraid that His Majesty will be angry and cut off their master?"

Daming Mansion is near Gyeonggi, and a fast horse can reach the capital in less than three days.Gao Wanzhen was right under the eyes of the emperor, and if there was a slight movement, the embroidered clothes guards could capture him alive and send him to the palace.

Such a big rebellion, isn't this directly handing over the evidence to the emperor to chop off their master's head?

Hearing Jia She's words, Gao Yongheng also figured out something was wrong.He didn't want to see his uncle and nephew killing each other, but hearing what Jia She said gave him hope.

"Enhou is right. Ever since I saw the secret performance, I also feel that something is wrong. The city of Daming Mansion was besieged for a whole day, and Zuojin Prefecture couldn't even send a single spy in. It shows that they have planned for a long time. With Gao Wan It is difficult to achieve such a level!"

The emperor looked at the two of them, and said the purpose of calling them here: "The purpose of calling you here is to let you two secretly investigate the situation of the kings in the capital, especially those who have private relations with this Wanzhongyuan. No special contact."

"That's right, Wan Zhongyuan just sent a daughter to Prince Yizhong's mansion, not necessarily doing things for Prince Yizhong. He can also use the name of Prince Yizhong to stir up troubles in Henan for others."

Jia Amnesty was particularly abnormal today, he racked his brains to think, and put forward his own opinions from time to time.

Looking at Jia She's red and swollen eyes, even the emperor couldn't bear it: "Enhou, why don't you go back and rest."

Jia She, who was thinking hard, raised his head suddenly, and he shook his head: "Your Majesty, I'm fine."

"On Jia Lian's side, Enhou shouldn't worry too much. I have already sent the imperial doctor to the south, and he will be alive and kicking after a few days."

The emperor's rare gentle voice comforted him. Ever since Jia Lian pledged his allegiance to him, the emperor has been paying attention to his every word and deed.

In terms of talent in battle, Jia Lian is far behind Xu Jingsi, Tan Mingming and other people who have studied hard since childhood.But his loyalty is unquestionable, and his ability to handle affairs is also outstanding. In the past few years, he has worked for the emperor through wind and rain, and has never complained.

Jia She is just such a promising son as Jia Lian, the Jia family is now regarded as the emperor's loyal confidants, the emperor who has always been generous to his own people really couldn't bear to see Jia She like this, so he said: "I didn't consider it properly, I shouldn't be called You came here..."

Jia She bowed and replied: "As a subject, it is only natural to serve His Majesty. Although Lian'er is injured, I am a little worried, but I will never delay my loyalty to the country."

Seeing Jia Amnesty being so resolute, the emperor could only helplessly say: "Alright, Enhou don't need to be so excited, sit down and talk."

Gao Yongheng took over the topic, and he said to the emperor: "Just now, after what Enhou said, I have a guess, but..."

"Just what? You just say it."

"Brother Huang, the White Lotus Sect attacked and harassed many big households in the capital on the night when Eldest Brother remonstrated with him. Some people once said that the White Lotus Sect was acting on the orders of Eldest Brother. What do you think of this point?"

The emperor recalled the old things and replied: "Impossible, I still know my elder brother's temperament very well. For the sake of my lord, I will not talk about the reason for the military remonstrance that year. My elder brother has always hated this kind of cult that confuses the people. Why? possibly associated with it."

Both Gao Yongheng and Jia Amnesty nodded, only to hear Gao Yongheng say: "Since the eldest brother does not associate with the White Lotus Sect, there must be someone else who helped the White Lotus Sect enter the city and help them escape from the capital. Looking at it this way, This time the White Lotus Sect is in chaos, and on the surface it is the cooperation between the Yizhong Palace and the White Lotus Sect, but what about the inside?"

"Could it be Prince Zhongxin's Mansion? The Zhen family?" Jia She interjected.

The emperor shook his head and said: "The Embroidery Guards have already checked. The old twelve has been busy exonerating the Zhen family recently. The mess caused by the Zhen family on the Longevity Day still annoys my father. Besides, the old twelve and the Zhen family have been working hard. As for the management of Jiangnan, the area of ​​Henan has indeed been managed by Gao Wanchun."

Princess Yizhong comes from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and has great influence in Henan itself.Although the Zhen family dominates Jiangnan, their hand cannot reach Henan.

Just when the three were puzzled, Xia Shouzhong ran in in panic and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, the embroidered clothes guards are here to report that Prince Yizhong was assassinated and is unconscious!"
