My wife is sick

Chapter 513
Early the next morning, Jiang Heng entered the palace before he had time to eat breakfast.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the court also resumed the daily morning court. Jiang Heng, as the Duke of Zhen, and also the commander of the frontier, went to the court early, which would not make people think it was strange.

However, when Jiang Heng entered the palace this morning, he attracted the attention of many people.

According to the rules, every morning, civil and military officials would line up outside the palace gate, waiting for the palace gate to open, and then enter the palace from left to right for the morning court.

Lord Jiang Heng of Zhen Guo is not a domineering person, let alone a person who does not pay attention to the rules of the palace because of his own merit and status. In the past so many years, regardless of the severe cold or heat, Jiang Heng returned to the capital to participate in the early court. At that time, they were all honestly at the head of the generals, waiting for the palace gate to open before entering the palace.

But today...

When Jiang Heng came outside the palace gate, there were already many civil and military officials waiting outside.

Seeing Jiang Heng, all the officials waiting outside the palace gate were ready to greet him.

It's not the first time they've done this either.

Zhen Guogong is not the kind of person who knows people by his official position. Whether it is the chief assistant of the cabinet or the seventh-rank official, he will nod in response to whoever greets him. Although there is no smile on his face, it is not because of Zhen Guogong. Arrogant, but because Zhen Guogong is a person who is not good at talking, let alone laughing.

But this time...

Before the officials who wanted to greet Jiang Heng had time to raise their legs, Jiang Heng had already passed them like the wind and came to the palace gate.

Because everyone came early, the gate of the palace was not opened at this time, but Jiang Heng directly took out the token given by the emperor and ordered people to open the gate of the palace.

This token was indeed bestowed by Emperor Jingwen. As long as you hold the token, you can enter the palace without notification at any time. It was originally given by Emperor Jingwen to show how much trust he has in Jiang Heng.

However, although everyone knew that Jiang Heng had such a token in his hand, before that, few people thought that Jiang Heng would use the privilege brought by this token.

Because everyone, including Emperor Jingwen, knew that Jiang Heng, Duke of Zhen, was not someone who would ignore the rules just because of the favor of the Holy One.

Therefore, even if you have this token in hand, it is no different from not having it.

But now...

But so many people saw Jiang Heng use this token with their own eyes.

While surprised, everyone was more puzzled.

For so many years, Duke Zhen never took out this token in order to enter the palace in advance, so what happened today that made Duke Zhen behave so abnormally?

All of a sudden, everyone couldn't help but speculate.

What happened at the Lantern Festival last night was noticed by many people, including not only ordinary people, but also many officials and family members.

After these people went back yesterday, they inevitably told their family members what they saw.

Because of this, although it only passed one night, the fact that the wife of Zhongshushe Yao Qian wanted to marry a girl from the Duke's Mansion for her son has already spread to the ears of many people.

Seeing Jiang Heng enter the palace with a sullen face at this moment, the officials who heard about it couldn't help but mutter in their hearts.

Is it possible...

Duke Zhen got angry because of this matter?
If this is the case, it is not difficult to understand.

Even if the girl in the Duke's Mansion is not as good as the princess Jingui in the palace, she is from the top of the capital, and Yao Qian is just a small seventh-rank Zhongshusheren.

The son of a seventh-rank official not only wanted to marry the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but also tried to ruin the reputation of the Miss of the Duke's Mansion in front of so many people. For the Duke's Mansion, this is definitely nothing more serious insulted.

It is perfectly normal for the Zhen Guo Guild to be so angry because of this.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

However, the more sensitive officials couldn't help but think a little deeper.

Then Yao Qian is just from the seventh rank, in the capital under the foot of the emperor, it is nothing at all. It stands to reason that even if the Yao family is not living with their tails between their legs, they should be careful, so as not to offend any powerful family and cause trouble is.

But the Yao family...

Not only did it not do this, but it also did such an unbelievable thing.

How did the Yao family get their confidence?

One must know that the government of Zhen Guogong is at its most beautiful now, and the current emperor has always written letters to the Duke of Zhen Guo. Could it be that the Yao family is crazy?
But it is impossible for the Yao family to suddenly lose their minds and go crazy.

Some officials thought of Yao Qian's official position.

He is a member of Zhongshu She in the cabinet, even if he does not do any confidential things, but in the cabinet, he usually has the opportunity to come into contact with some secret things.

Could it be...

Then what did Yao Qian know unintentionally, that's why he indulged his wife and children like this?
This makes people feel even more puzzled, even shocked.

If such a guess is true, then what did Yao Qian know to allow his wife and children to abuse the daughter of the Duke's Mansion like this?
In other words, how did Yao Qian feel that his son could marry the daughter of the Duke's Mansion?
As an official in the capital, who can still stand firm, which one is not a human being? Thinking about it in depth, many officials who understand it in their hearts can't help but feel a little terrified.

If it is as they guessed...

Then, isn't it going to change?
For a while, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, all lowered their eyes and kept silent, daring not to say more.

While the officials were thinking this way, Jiang Heng had already entered the palace with a token, and was led by the servants to Qianqing Palace.

Today was the first morning court after the Chinese New Year, and Emperor Jingwen naturally got up early, and he had already eaten breakfast and was taking a nap.

Hearing the report from the palace people, it was said that Jiang Heng had entered the palace with a token and was heading towards Qianqing Palace, and Emperor Jingwen also gave him a big meal.

This is something that has never happened before.

It is also because it has never been, so it is even more abnormal.

"Do you know why Lord Zhen Guo came here?" Emperor Jingwen asked calmly.

There is an early court today, if there is no urgent matter, Jiang Heng can wait until the morning court later, instead of rushing in with a token like this.

The servant heard the words and shook his head lightly: "I don't know."

So Emperor Jingwen didn't ask any more.

Anyway, the person has already entered the palace, and he will arrive at the Qianqing Palace in a short time, so there will be a clear conclusion at that time.

Before meeting Jiang Heng, Emperor Jingwen had many guesses in his mind.

Even, he had already prepared for the worst in his heart, could it be that something happened at the border again, which made Jiang Heng enter the palace in such a hurry.
