Chapter 237 Leaving (one more)
Gu Yanfei took a half step forward, and quickly grabbed Yushi Lian by one sleeve, tugged at him, and snorted, "You just hit your head and you kowtow, you're going to die."
"The wound on your head needs to be changed every day, but it's not a big problem. Let's take care of it for ten days and a half month."
Although Gu Yanfei saved him, it did not prevent her from disliking this person.
He is very affectionate and righteous to his old wife, but he did make mistakes.
The old woman heard that Gu Yanfei was going to prepare a prescription, so she hurried to prepare a pen and ink.
Gu Yanfei prepared the recipe in twos and threes, and just put down the pen, Xiao Shi who was outside the door held a wooden box into the courtyard, handed it to Yushi Lian, and said with a smile, "Lord Lian, this is ginseng. , Lingzhi and other good tonics were given to Madam Ling by His Royal Highness."
"..." Envoy Lian's eyes widened in shock again, his old red eyes filled with tears again, and he was both moved and ashamed.
The first prince's house is kind-hearted, magnanimous, regardless of past suspicions, and will be a benevolent ruler in the future!
The envoy Lian almost knelt down again, when he saw Chu Yi sighing slightly, and gently and politely persuaded: "Lian-sir, it's better not to use this Feng family's stuff."
Being reminded by Chu Yi, Lian Yu moved his nose subconsciously, and the smell of ginseng in the air seemed to become stronger, lingering around his nose.
He immediately thought of the ginseng that the Feng family gave him.
Even the imperial envoy knew what was good and bad. He understood that the first prince was for his own good, and that the Feng family had sinister intentions. What they gave was stolen goods. Since he had already turned against the Feng family, he should not continue to use the Feng family's gift with peace of mind. herbs.
"Old Qian's family," Lian Yushi hurriedly instructed the old lady, "Go and throw away all the ginseng herbs given by the Feng family."
The old lady was in a hurry and went back into the house in a hurry.
Soon, she took out half of the leftover ginseng from the house, and said to Censor Lian: "Master, there is still so much left..."
The round face of the old lady couldn't hide the distressed look, and she thought: This is the best hundred-year-old ginseng!
Censor Lian waved his hand, signaling her to hurry up and throw it away.
The old woman only complied with the promise, but heard a male voice like a ring of jade kowtow: "Wait!"
The old lady stopped, and looked anxiously at the immortal boy in white. On the other side's handsome face, the beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.
Even the censor looked at Chu Yi with a little unease.
"Bring it to me to see." Chu Yi beckoned to the old lady, with a graceful and peaceful smile on his face.
The old lady saw that her master had always been respectful to this immortal son, and knew that this must be a noble person, so she put the half of the ginseng with both hands without saying a word, and moved carefully, for fear that someone accidentally bumped into the noble person.
Chu Yi picked up the half of the ginseng, and half-drooped his eyes to examine it carefully, his brows tightened again, and even the Imperial Censor felt a sigh of relief.
Censor Lian asked murmured, "Your Highness, what's wrong with this ginseng?" Could it be poisonous?
The old woman next to swallowed her saliva, thinking about it and knowing that people who can be called "His Royal Highness" are all nobles among nobles.
"This is the Gongshen from Neikuli." Chu Yi's tone was still unhurried, and his eyes were as dark as night.
What? ! Lian Yushi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his face was even paler, and he almost fainted from fright.
In other words, this ginseng was stolen from the emperor's inner treasury?
The palace is heavily guarded and well-guarded, and not even a fly can fly out. It is conceivable that stealing the inner vault is not something that a mere Feng family can do.
Kang Kang, only the King Kang behind the Feng family can do this!
Kang Kang even dared to use the emperor's internal treasury privately, and he even helped the emperor to abuse him, and almost got the emperor and the eldest prince into injustice!
Even the imperial censor became more frightened the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more regretful he became.
Standing under a magnolia tree, Gu Yanfei put his hands behind his back and looked up at the canopy above. In the early spring, the magnolia tree has grown buds one by one, and the tree is fragrant and breathtakingly beautiful.
So many minds. Gu Yanfei sighed silently in his heart, and Chu Yi's soft voice came from his ear: "Lian-sir, I want to take this ginseng away."
"Your Highness, please." Lian Yushi quickly nodded in response, the cold sweat on his forehead was dense, and his heart was chaotic.
He calmed down and explained hastily: "Your Highness, Wei Chen really doesn't know that this ginseng is a tribute ginseng, otherwise Wei Chen would never dare..."
"Master Lian, don't worry," Chu Yi gently interrupted Yushi Lian, who was about to swear to God, and said with relief, "I know that the theft of the inner treasury has nothing to do with the Lord."
"The theft of the inner treasury is of great importance. The case must be thoroughly investigated. In the past few days, the Jinyiwei Association has temporarily sealed your residence. I will explain to them that it will not disturb the daily life of Lord Lian and Mrs. Lian."
Chu Yi gave a lot of kindness and power, and even said that the censor was grateful and thought that the eldest prince was not only just and unfair, but also benevolent and benevolent. He will be a benevolent prince with the world in mind when he ascends the throne in the future.
"Your Highness is wise." Censor Lian bowed to Chu Yi gratefully, wishing he would kneel and bow down to thank him for his kindness.
Yushi Lian trembled to the gate with the help of Lao Qian, and sent the two to the carriage.
As soon as Gu Yanfei got into the carriage, he leaned lazily against the wall of the carriage and muttered, "Gongshen?"
No matter how bad the Feng family is, they won’t be able to even get a hundred-year-old ginseng and go to the inner vault to steal it.
In other words, even the imperial envoy, who is stupid in reading and reading, will be convinced by Chu Yi after being coaxed.
She raised her eyebrows at Chu Yi, smiling like a spring flower, her shoulders were trembling, and her pupils were unusually bright.
Facing Gu Yanfei, Chu Yi never tried to hide it, and smiled softly, as if a warm spring breeze blew into the dark carriage.
This smile is a default.
Chu Yi raised his hand and opened the curtain on one side, threw the half of the ginseng to Xiao Shi outside, and ordered, "Let Qin He thoroughly investigate the matter of stealing the inner treasury from the internal officials."
Xiao Shi respectfully agreed, and flew on his horse.
Chu Yi lowered the curtains again, and took out a red lacquered wooden box from the dark compartment of the carriage. The box was divided into nine compartments, and each compartment contained different candied fruits, preserved fruits, nuts, halva, etc.
As he pushed the wooden box in her direction, he said gossip with her: "The Inner Official Supervisor is not only in charge of the affairs of the inner court, but also in charge of the internal and external affairs. For the past 20 years, the Inner Official Supervisor has always been under the Queen Mother's office. in hand."
The most important thing in the inner court is the appointment and transfer of personnel and the delivery of internal and external news, both of which are controlled by the internal officials.
also means that the emperor is not only closed to his eyes and ears in the palace now, but also that the Queen Mother and King Kang's staff may be placed by his side at any time, and it is impossible to guard against it.
Gu Yanfei was accustomed to Chu Yi telling her about the court and the palace from time to time, with the left ear going in and the right ear going out, and he took a candy from the box and stuffed it between his lips.
very sour!
Her eyes squinted into an arc where she wanted to cry or not.
Chu Yi took two walnuts from the box, held them in the palm of his hand, and squeezed them lightly.
"Crack."
The shells of the two walnuts were torn apart.
Gu Yanfei swallowed the candied fruit in his mouth, and silently shed tears of sympathy for the people in the internal bureaucracy.
Chu Yi's eyelashes were half down, and his cold white fingers slowly opened the walnut shell, took out the intact walnut kernels, ate one by himself, and fed the other to Gu Yanfei.
The walnut kernels are crispy, which is quite suitable for Gu Yanfei's appetite.
The carriage moved slowly and drove out of the alley.
Outside the carriage, Xiao Shi took a step ahead of them and galloped towards the palace.
After a stick of incense, Qin He, the eunuch, the superintendent of the internal official supervisor, got the "evidence" handed over by Xiao Shi and the eldest prince's oral order. All were interrogated.
The palace people are all worried, for fear that they will be implicated.
The palace was full of turmoil and rumors spread:
"I heard that the inner vault has been stolen, and stealing and selling the items of the inner vault is a serious crime of beheading. These people are too bold."
"It's been a very eventful time recently. Last time, the emperor fell into the water in the painting boat, and even Eunuch Li was convicted. This time, I don't know how many people will go in."
"Eunuch Li is the confidant of the Empress Dowager, and Eunuch Qin took all the eunuchs in charge of officials and supervisors in the dignified palace. I think the person who falls into Eunuch Qin's hands is likely to be more fortunate..."
“…”
One after another, the eyes of surprise or apprehension all turned to the inner official prison, and within an hour, these inner servants who were taken down confessed all of them.
People in the palace watched helplessly as Qin He, whose robe was bloody, walked out of the inner official prison and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask the eldest prince.
After another half an hour, the eldest prince Chu Yi, on the grounds that "internal officials, prisons and prisons are unfavorable, will cause problems repeatedly", and resolutely ordered the reorganization of the internal officials and prisons, and the entire inner court was shocked.
There were also Li Han's confidants who questioned this, but they were immediately "trialed" by Qin He on charges of greed with ink or colluding with foreign dynasties.
In just three days, under the leadership of Chu Yi, the Inner Official Supervisor was split into twelve Inner Court Supervisors. Although the name of the Inner Official Supervisor was retained, the responsibilities were greatly reduced. All things such as jibing and so on, are only equivalent to the Ministry of Industry of the inner court.
The Inner Official Supervisor, the behemoth that covered the sky with only one hand in the inner court, collapsed in an instant, and was powerless to return to the sky.
This rectification in the inner court was a riot, and to the outside world, no one knew what happened in the inner court.
It was not until the nineteenth day of the first month that King Kang Chuyou noticed something was wrong in the inner court.
"My lord, there is still no news in the palace today." Chu You's personal maid said cautiously, and it was hard to hide his apprehension.
In the palace, people usually send news every three or four days, but since the 16th day of the first month, the news suddenly stopped.
A cloud of cloud came over Chu You's forehead, he paced back and forth irritably, his tall and straight body taut.
The lack of news from the palace made Chu You feel like a headless fly, and it seemed that something was out of his control.
