Yanmenchun

Chapter 52

The emperor was composing music in the imperial study room, while Gao Yongyi, the chief eunuch, was grinding it aside. The only silence in the whole study room was the sound of the emperor turning over the memorial, and the sound of grinding.

When Gao Yongyi's godson gave him winks outside, he thought it was his godson watching him work hard, so he made an excuse to ask him to go out for a rest.

The emperor has been in a bad mood these past few days. It is the time when there is a large number of staff changes in the county. The officials are arguing every day. Even in the current booklet, eight out of ten things are written about this.

Gao Yongyi pretended not to see it, but after a while the kid came again, and this time he directly gestured at him.

He had no choice but to put down the ink ingot and quietly backed out. The emperor ignored him, obviously immersed in his own thoughts.

After leaving the imperial study room, Gao Yongyi said angrily: "What are you doing! Your Majesty has not been in a good mood these few days, is it time for you to cheat and play tricks?"

As he spoke, he took two sips of tea from the little eunuch's hand.

The little eunuch hurriedly whispered in his ear for a while, Gao Yongyi's complexion suddenly changed, and he frowned and scolded: "Why didn't you say it earlier! If something happened to this, Yu Shitai can find something to do !"

Without waiting for the little eunuch to beg for mercy, he quickly walked back to the imperial study as soon as he put down the cup of tea.

The emperor saw that he came back after a while and ignored him, but Gao Yong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is something important to report outside."

The emperor thought that some courtier was talking about the affairs of Cheng County again, so he frowned and said, "Speak."

"The old lady of Zhenbeihou's mansion asked to see, and said that today the young master and eldest lady of Zhenbeihou's mansion went to Chunshan to sweep the grave of the first marquis and his wife. On the way, they met a group of thugs, and the thugs attacked the convoy and injured the young master. , the little Marquis was seriously injured, and his life was hanging by a thread. The thug seems to have something to do with the brothers-in-law of Shen Tuye, the third master of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. The brothers and sisters of the little Marquis are lonely and helpless. The old lady of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion begs you to make the decision."

The old lady of Zhenbeihou's Mansion has an imperial order, and has the privilege of asking to see the emperor and empress.

The emperor's frown suddenly deepened: "Shen Tuye, the young minister of the Taifu? Who is his Yue family?"

Gao Yongyi hurriedly replied: "The family in the south of the city, the master in front has served as a sacrificial wine for the Imperial Academy. After his death, there are no officials above the fifth rank in Fangfu."

The emperor put down the pen in his hand: "Does Jingdu Wei know about this?"

"I just got the news that the young master sent someone to investigate as soon as he entered the city, and the capital guards haven't come back yet. However, Tianjin guard reported the last pirate incident a few days ago, and also said that the young master I was almost assassinated at that time." Gao Yongyi couldn't help but sweat, fortunately he would have looked through the papers that the emperor didn't read, otherwise he would definitely not be able to answer this question today.

The emperor thought for a moment and then said: "Send two imperial physicians to Shentu's mansion to have a look, please invite them in."

With the support of the young eunuch, the old lady walked to the door of the imperial study room, obeyed her orders and entered the imperial study room.

The emperor was drinking tea, and the old lady stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Chen Fu, the Liu family of Beihou Mansion, see the emperor."

The emperor put down the teacup and raised his hand: "Get up!"

The old lady thanked En and got up, and the emperor said: "What is the old lady talking about?"

The old lady knelt down again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty, my wife's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law have devoted themselves to the country. Seeing that the wives and old ladies are useless, there are those evil things that pay the attention of the Marquis! Your Majesty, the ministers are useless, they cannot protect them well, and they are afraid that the ministers will really leave in the future. They will guard the title like an orphan Like holding a treasure like a child, being robbed by others with envy, please Your Majesty take back the title of Marquis of Zhenbei!"

By the end, I was sobbing.

Gao Yong jumped at a glance, and felt that the old lady of the Zhenbeihou Mansion was really smart. If she came up and said that the Fang Mansion had harmed the people in the Zhenbeihou Mansion, His Majesty would at most send the Jingdu Guards to investigate. She said so, This is a major event, the title of the Zhenbeihou Mansion is decided by His Majesty, anyone who dares to set their minds on it is disregarding His Majesty's will and disrespecting His Majesty.

The Commander of the Jingdu Guard rushed all the way into the palace, and was stopped outside the imperial study room. The little eunuch said that His Majesty was meeting the old lady of the Zhenbeihou Mansion inside.

The commander scratched his head anxiously, for such a major event that would break the sky of the capital city, if he reported it later, he might cause trouble to his upper body, so he had to ask the little eunuch to help him pass the news.

He is considered a celebrity in front of His Majesty, the little eunuch didn't dare to offend him, and wanted to sell him, so he quietly moved over to show his godfather Gao Yong a gesture.

The old lady of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion had already been helped up, the emperor was about to say a few words of comfort when he saw the little eunuch gesturing at the door.

Before Gao Yongyi could speak, the emperor asked unhappily, "What are you doing?"

The little eunuch had no choice but to come in and knelt down and said, "The Commander of the Jingdu Guard asked for an interview outside the door, saying that he has something urgent to report to you, and it has something to do with the Zhenbeihou Mansion."

At this time, it was time to investigate this matter, and the emperor announced him to come in.

As soon as the commander came in, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there are indeed bandits on Chunshan Mountain. The minister and his subordinates found the corpses of some servants of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion at the scene. The scene of the fight is still there."

He got stuck nervously, and the emperor said impatiently: "What else!"

"The corpse of Princess Jingxin."

The emperor was shocked: "What did you say?"

The commander had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "The corpses of Princess Jingxin and her maid are dressed as ordinary noble ladies, and they were obviously killed by bandits by mistake."

There was a dead silence in the imperial study room, and the old lady stopped crying in shock.

The maid outside stepped back slightly, turned around and ran towards Changchun Palace.

The news spread as quickly as if he had grown legs.

That night, several masters of the Fang Mansion became the Madam Hou of Zhenbei Hou Mansion for their sisters, and sent people to lie about the gangsters to assassinate the little Hou Ye Shentu Danlin. As a result, the little Hou Ye was seriously injured and survived, but they accidentally killed the passing Jingxin Princess This incident spread throughout the palace and outside the palace.

The royal family was terrified, and the title dispute was not unusual at all, but it was the first time that such a big disturbance at the foot of the palace was happening, and it might be the first time in thousands of years, because the emperor's daughter was implicated in the title fight.

Princess Jingxin was supposed to be in confinement at this meeting, but she ran out out of nowhere. The family had many guesses, but most of them thought that Princess Jingxin must have gone to the eldest lady of the Zhenbeihou Mansion because of the last incident. , and was killed as someone from the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

The Zhenbeihou Mansion is also shrouded in gloom at this time. The old lady of the Zhenbeihou Mansion is getting old, and the life and death of the young master is unknown due to serious injuries.

What is even more impressive is that Jingduwei didn't catch anyone after he ran to Chunshan, and there was not even a ghost on Chunshan except for the corpse.

The emperor was furious, Rong Guifei fainted from crying after seeing the body of Princess Jingxin, and the commander of the Fang family was taken away for a thorough investigation as soon as he left the palace.

The emperor gave Jingdu Wei five days, and Jingdu Wei cooperated with Dali Temple to find out the truth within five days.

It was already dark when the old lady came back from the palace.

The emperor sent the imperial physician over, but Shentu Danlin was still in a coma, the imperial physician took a shallow look, took his pulse again, and finally confirmed that Shentu Danlin was indeed not in danger of life, just wake up and recuperate well.

Shentu Danlin's body was wrapped in gauze, and the imperial doctors couldn't remove it to see the wound. During the moment of hesitation between walking or not, Shentuchan took a look at Shuangquan, and Shuangquan went to change Shentu Danlin's dressing.

The smell of the medicine was very strong, the imperial physician was telling Shen Tuchan the points that need to be paid attention to in recuperation, when he turned around, he saw a huge knife wound on Shentu Danlin's chest through the gauze curtain in the room, the wound was blood red, the servant sprinkled the medicine powder quickly wrapped in gauze.
