Even the Palace Banquet was cancelled, and the nobles and ministers naturally did not dare to hold a grand new year's wine at home.
Except for the necessary contacts between relatives, there are no banquets at home.
The printing was not started until after the 15th day of the first month. Unexpectedly, the central court suddenly sent a notice that the printing would start today in advance. The courtiers couldn't help guessing.
In the Taihua Hall of the legislative court, the ministers came early.
"Happy new year, Lord Lu and Lord Chen!" Qian Zhixin arched his hands and came forward with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You look a lot better."
Yao Yangcheng looked at Qian Zhixin coming forward to get close to LV Zhi and Chen Miao, and couldn't help laughing coldly.
After all, LV Zhi is just like them, but Chen Miao is just a servant, and he is also a servant of the Ministry of household, a subordinate of Qian Zhixin.
Instead, Qian Zhixin approached Chen Miao warmly, which made Yao Yangcheng sneer.
In the past, Yao Yangcheng had the best relationship with Qian Zhixin. Both of them were important officials of the crown prince. As a result, now the crown princess has fallen and Chu Miaoshu has risen, not only holding the Luan seal, but also pregnant with the emperor and grandson. Chu yunpan is also powerful, and the crown prince is very dependent on him. There is no doubt that Chu Miaoshu will be the queen in the future.
The Yao family had long been abandoned by the crown prince!
In the prince's house, concubine Qian Shu had already caged Chu Miaoshu. Although Qian Zhixin treated him as before, he had already rebelled in his heart!
Chen Miao is a relative of Chu yunpan. Therefore, Qian Zhixin wanted to fight with Chu yunpan into friendship, so he reduced his worth and called him a buddy with Chen Miao.
Hatred flashed in Yao Yangcheng's eyes, and then turned cold.
"Hehe, good Lord Qian!" Chen Miao really doesn't like this boss. He remembers that when Chu yunpan was going to fight, Qian Zhixin and Yao Yangcheng did their best to stop Chu yunpan.
But the way of being an official in officialdom made him laugh and laugh, like two brothers.
"I don't know why it suddenly started printing ahead of time." Qian Zhixin looked puzzled and suddenly said nervously, "is it......" then he looked sad.
This means that emperor Zhengxuan may not be able, and the surrounding courtiers think in that direction.
Yao Yangcheng glanced at Qian Zhixin: "Lord Qian is drinking Nian wine. I'm confused."
Qian Zhixin was stunned and saw that he spoke in a strange way, but Qian Zhixin pretended not to feel the same on his face and pulled out a thousand pounds in four or two: "Hey, the doctor asked me to drink less wine. Where did I get the wine? Lord Yao is really joking. "
Although Qian Zhixin and Chu yunpan have contradictions in front, it can only be said that they disagree with each other. If Qian Zhixin wants to repair it, he can still repair it.
But Yao Yangcheng is different, because the dispute between the Crown Princess and Chu Miaoshu is doomed that Yao Yangcheng and Chu yunpan can only live and die.
Yao Yangcheng only sneered at his posture of being close to Chu yunpan.
"Zhenxi Hou, ha ha ha!" Bursts of laughter came from the distance, climbing in from the clouds, and the ministers gathered around and kept getting close to each other.
But some stood far away and watched.
After Chu yunpan came in, he saw the ceremony with the people he knew. In front of him came the singing voice of the little eunuch: "Your Highness the prince has arrived!"
They hurriedly stood in two lines. After a while, the prince came out, followed by Li Gui.
"See your highness!" The courtiers saluted quickly.
The prince sat on an eight clawed Python chair next to the Dragon chair, raised his hand and said, "get up." There was some impatience in his voice. "The printing started early today. It was all because of the bandits."
As soon as they heard this, they were either surprised by Emperor Zhengxuan's death.
Chu yunpan frowned slightly when he heard the word "Liu bandit".
"The bandits have been in trouble for several years, and even abolished Wu Yiyi, the commander of the Jingwei camp. Now, under the leadership of Zhenxi Hou, they have caught all the bandits. Even if there are more than one party, it can't become a climate." The prince said and took a look at Chu yunpan. The more he used it, the better he could use it. He was able to lead the army and secure the country, and he was able to calm down the chaos and eliminate the bandits.
Before the war, he was also very capable in the Imperial Academy. When he was called to the imperial study as a consultant, he could also put forward many political opinions. Anyway, it seems that there is something troublesome. No matter civil or military, just throw it to him and it can always be solved.
The crown prince has planned to keep him in Beijing. He usually leads the Jingwei camp to protect the imperial capital. The previous court can also give some political opinions on governing the country. If he can't stand it outside, he asks him to fight outside. I feel good when I think about it.
But someone always annoys him! For example, the old man Yao Yangcheng.
After the gang was caught, they were put in the prison of the Ministry of punishment.
Yao Yangcheng is the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment. Since the accident of the Crown Princess... No, it should be said that since the crown prince married Chu Miaoshu, the crown prince has looked down on Yao Yangcheng more and more. It is impossible to attach general importance to Chu yunpan.
Now the crown princess has an accident, and the crown prince doesn't pay attention to Yao Yangcheng.
But this gang of bandits still make trouble.
It's said that the bandits were not only bandits, but also colluded with magistrate Ma and almost killed Chu yunpan. Fortunately, Chu yunpan saw through the plot early.
Later, when he was captured in Beijing, master LV called out that in addition to magistrate Ma, there were people in Beijing who cooperated with the bandits. As for who it is, master LV doesn't know.
Ma Zhifu was whipped again because he couldn't stand the pain of the prison. He was frozen to death on the second day of the new year. Only the leader of the bandits was left. He was a hard bone and didn't confess.
"The night before yesterday, the bandit Yu Dang went into the palace to save people. Unexpectedly, he quietly entered the prison of the Ministry of punishment. If he hadn't found it in time, Hong Guangshou and others would have been rescued." The prince said.
"Ah!" The following courtiers took a deep breath and LV Zhi said, "these bandits actually entered the palace. What's the matter? And there was no sound. "
Yao Yangcheng looked at Chu yunpan and sneered: "I have to ask Zhenxi Hou. Although the palace is guarded by the forbidden army, Zhenxi Hou is responsible for the deployment of the criminal department. If it had not been for the vigilance of the Yamen guards of the Ministry of punishment, Hong Guangtao would have escaped. "
Chu yunpan sneered: "this marquis is in charge, but how to deploy defense naturally has to tell the guard's forbidden army."
The prince swept Chu yunpan's eyes: "the palace believes in Zhenxi marquis. After all, the forbidden army is not under the command of Zhenxi marquis."
The chief of the forbidden army on one side, Xiu, took a smoke from the corner of his mouth. This means that he is incompetent and the Marquis of Zhenxi can't afford it no matter how capable he is?
Liao Shoufu said, "that's why we started printing in advance?"
Yao Yangcheng flashed a cold look in his eyes and said with a smile, "of course not. But the remaining party members who were arrested finally confessed last night and drew a portrait of the people who set up defense for them and showed them how to cross the defense line in the palace. "
With a buzz, there was a discussion in the hall.
"Ah, there's a portrait?" LV Zhi hehe, "that's what adult Yao is looking for." Yao Yangcheng is the Minister of punishment.
Yao Yangcheng's old face was gloomy and snorted coldly: "after our identification, this person is not an ordinary person. Somebody, get the picture. "
Immediately outside, a small eunuch came in with a tray, and the prince frowned.
Yesterday, Yao Yangcheng said that Chu yunpan made a mistake in defense deployment. The crown prince was annoyed that Yao Yangcheng picked on other people's problems. Later, he said that the image of the remaining party had been examined and that it was of great significance, so he let the printing start ahead of time.
The prince thought of the people who colluded with the bandits and magistrate MA in the court.
That man harmed Chu yunpan, but he was alive in prison. I'm not sure when he will give up the man. Maybe he will unite with the rest of the party to save people. Therefore, the person behind him must be the central Korean.
The prince thought it was not bad these days, and it was important, so he started printing in advance.
The little eunuch had come to Yao Yangcheng with a tray in his hand.
Yao Yangcheng picked up the portrait and saw that it was a man in black with the lower half of his face covered, revealing only a pair of eyes, which were beautiful peach blossom eyes.
It's strange that his hand was painted in this portrait.
Yao Yangcheng said, "according to Yu Dang, this man has six fingers in his right hand. Later, after investigation, it was found that a subordinate of Zhenxi Hou had a pair of peach eyes and six fingers. Two or three days ago, I heard that Zhenxi Hou's house killed a man in Meihua village on the outskirts of Beijing. The man was six fingers and his name was Shi Xiaoquan. "
"Ah -" the whole hall burst into a nest, and LV Zhi said in surprise: "what's going on? Has Lord Yao found out? "
Chu yunpan sneered: "Lord Yao is really funny. Do you mean that Ben Hou ordered his subordinates to show the way to the rest of the party to save people? Kill people again? Don't forget that this nest of bandits was caught by Ben Hou himself! If Ben Hou wants to save them, why arrest them? "
Yao Yangcheng frowned: "Zhenxi Hou, aren't we investigating? Now it's just telling the truth. As for the result, it remains to be found out. Naturally, I knew that the Duke of Zhenxi was innocent, so I proposed to start printing as soon as possible to investigate clearly and return the Duke's innocence. "
