Chapter 52： sideline

Until the end of the rally and returning to the Prince's Mansion, Yang Dejin didn't recover much.

The Dacheng Sect was eager to stir up conflicts between the empress and the prince. This kind of situation also appeared in the original book, but this time it wasn't Bai Qingyang's hand, so who could it be?

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Yang Dejin scratched her head with both hands.

She stared at the sunny day outside the window in a daze. The summer solstice had passed, and Dasheng began to enter the general high temperature mode.

The coming of all nations is coming soon.

Xie Zhi followed Pei Yu to Dali Temple, and the two of them said that they re-read the files together, maybe they could find some clues. He also said that Yang Dejin hadn't closed her eyes all day and night, and ordered her to go back to the Prince's Mansion to rest.

Obviously everyone stayed up all night...

"Boom boom boom—"

"Please come in." Yang Dejin retracted her scattered thoughts and said towards the door.

"My lord, the tremella soup is cooked in the kitchen, butler Wang told me to bring it to you..." A Chong cautiously opened the door and came to Yang Dejin's case, "I'll go, my lord, what did you do?"

Seeing Yang Dejin's messy hair and thick dark circles, Ah Chong almost threw the soup out of control.

Yang Dejin waved his hands, and said perfunctorily, "You don't understand, the latest trend in Linjing is messy wind."

Ah Chong:?

He really doesn't understand.

Steward Wang, our lord has convulsions again.

After sending A Chong away, Yang Dejin found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and prepared to write a letter to Li Zichou. Li Zichou was good at logic, so she had to ask Li Zichou what to say. The writing brush hung on the letter paper for a long time, then threw it away, went back to the inner room, changed into a light-colored summer shirt, and went directly to the palace.

//

Li Zichou was having a meeting with several of her cabinet ministers in the Hall of Liangyi, and Lu Xiaoying came in from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu is asking to see you."

Li Zichou's voice paused when he was talking to others, and he glanced at the few people sitting beside him.

"Prince Yu, what is he doing here?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu came here in person, presumably he has something important to tell His Majesty."

Meng Shike didn't have much contact with Yang Dejin, and today was his first day as a cabinet member to participate in the inner court at the Hall of Erectile Dysfunction. With a cautious attitude, he remained silent most of the time.

Zhou Huaijin couldn't figure out the relationship between the empress and the prince, and didn't know what they were going to quarrel with, so he just stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Li Zichou nodded: "The matter has been agreed, and you need to pay more attention to the matter of the academy."

It is something that everyone likes to hear and see. Seeing that Li Zichou had said that, the rest of them also took orders to obey the order, and then they all slipped away with Zhou Huaijin.

"Ask Prince Yu to come in."

"promise."

//

While Yang Dejin was looking for Li Zichou to talk about the case, Meng Shike went to Yuheng Palace.

Bai Qingyang: "What did His Majesty say?"

Meng Shike: "Talk about the establishment of a school in Nanshan."

Nanshan was originally a small hill near the imperial city. It used to be the daily drill base for the garrison outside the city. Later, the garrison was deployed and moved, and the school grounds were vacated. Li Zishou wanted to set up a military management school there, so he appointed a close minister to share the related affairs with Zhou Huaijin.

Li Zichou originally wanted to call it "Zhongdian Mountain". After all, he chose the school name "Zhongdian Military Academy", but Yang Dejin rejected it because it was too ugly, and even changed the name of the school.

Bai Qingyang: "Your Majesty came to look for this Palace earlier, and she said that she told me to go to Nanshan with her for inspection after everything was settled."

Meng Shike hesitated: "Your Majesty, she promoted me as a cabinet minister because of you..."

Bai Qingyang took a sip of tea lightly, and denied it: "It's not my palace, it's Mr. Meng who has the ability to travel a thousand miles, that's why His Majesty's insightful eyes recognize the pearl."

"Heh." Master Meng shook his head, "I dare not do it."

But Meng Shike really didn't expect Li Zichou to be willing to use him. In his opinion, he didn't leave a good impression on the empress. It seems that the empress is quite discerning.

Bai Qingyang: "Master Meng entered the Liangyi Hall for the first time to discuss politics today, how do you feel?"

Meng Shike replied conservatively: "I can still adapt."

If the guy surnamed Zhou hadn't kept staring at him with his eyes.

I don't know why, but the chief minister of the cabinet always seems to see him as unhappy.

Could it be that he was exposed? !

Meng Shike quickly reviewed what he had done since he entered the court, but he didn't find anything wrong.

Bai Qingyang: "That's good."

Meng Shike: "How is the situation in Yongzhou?"

"There is no abnormality for the time being. But if there is, it doesn't matter. I have two cards of the Qinzhou garrison and the Zhenxi army, which are more than enough to prevent a civil strife in Yongzhou."

What's more, she acted quickly in this life, and she had already eliminated the traitors in the Yongzhou defenders.

Strategize and fight for thousands of miles.

Meng Shike nodded and said to himself, "Then it's Shuobei that needs to be guarded against."

Bai Qingyang: "Anyone can be the master of this country, but we can't give it up to the bloodthirsty prairie people."

Meng Shike lifted up the hem of his official robe, and bowed to Bai Qingyang: "Miss follows Bai Gong's behest, and I will take care of myself and do my best."

Bai Qingyang: "Master Meng, please stand up."

Meng Shike stood up, remembering the increasingly outrageous rumors among the people, and said: "My lady, the rumors about you..."

Bai Qingyang: "Xie Zhi is investigating."

"Is it reliable?"

"I'm in the deep palace, so I can only rely on Xie Zhi to deal with this matter. If he can't solve it, I can't count on others."

//

Dali Temple on the other side.

"Why did your lord bring back someone from the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Who knows, Master Shaoqing locked himself in the scroll room as soon as he came back from his visit, and didn't even eat."

"Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have always performed their own duties. Well water does not interfere with river water. This case requires the Ministry of Criminal Justice to help. It seems really difficult."

"Who said it wasn't?"

The two guards guarding the file warehouse door of Dali Temple were chatting casually.

A man in Tsing Yi with the appearance of a servant walked over here.

"Stop, this is the scroll room of Dali Temple, what are you doing?" The two guards immediately raised their hands and blocked him with their scabbards.

The young man cupped his hands and said: "I am a servant of Xie Shilang's mansion. A few days ago, my family's adult borrowed the file from your yamen, and the younger one came to return it today."

The two guards were skeptical, and before they could speak, they heard Pei Yu's voice coming from the roll room.

"Call him in."

After returning from the Wuming Temple outside the city, Xie Zhi and Pei Yu ran to Dali Temple, and the two of them were going to reorganize the clues.

"There have been no reports of missing persons in the capital recently, and we don't know who the Dacheng Sect has usurped the authority of the government and who are being punished."

"Not only are these records directly related to the Dacheng Sect," Xie Zhi just took the file from the servant, and said as he walked, "there are also things that have happened in Linjing in the past three months, especially those related to court officials. No matter how big or small, we have to check it out.”

Pei Yu: "That's too much, why check those?"

Xie Zhi: "Da Chengjiao was able to win over so many officials from the DPRK and China. It must be because the church has given them some benefits, or helped them solve some problems, so that they can wholeheartedly work for Dachengjiao."

Jing Zhaoyin Chengduo is because his wife survived the dystocia safely, so what about the others?

Pei Yu nodded, deeply convinced, went around to a bookshelf, and dug out all the case files from the past three months.

The two were so busy that it was dark, and it really made them discover several suspicious cases.

Xie Zhi: "At the beginning of the month, the Military Weapons Supervision lost two teams of new weapons. They issued a military order, saying that if they could not find them within ten days, they would hold their heads to see the Queen. It only took three days, and the two teams All the weapons have been recovered."

Pei Yu: "Here, the beloved daughter of Xue Yuan, a member of the official department, disappeared for several days, and the government failed to find her, so she returned home by herself."

Xie Zhi went on to say: "There is also the incident of a murderer who escaped from the dungeon of Dali Temple, and he was caught back in time."

Pei Yu blushed: ...Why does he know all about this?

Before Dali Temple, there was a prisoner who was sentenced to probation. I don’t know how he escaped. For fear that His Majesty would commit a crime, the Minister of the Temple strictly prohibited a few insiders from leaking the news, and then sent many people to hunt him down secretly.

The fugitive was injured and did not run out of the city, but was detained by the officers and soldiers guarding the city for interrogation. Sir Si Qing personally went to **** the fugitive back, and even stuffed a lot of hush money into the hands of several soldiers.

Pei Yu only found out about this after returning to the capital, and he didn't know whether it was Xie Shilang who had insight into everything, or the backer behind her who knew everything.

Prince Yu must have packed people everywhere, no wonder he was able to compete with the empress.

Pei Yu was a little flustered. He had never been involved in court party disputes, and now he had to cooperate with them because of the case. He didn't know if it was the right choice.

Pei Yu: Xinnan would like to eat meat and vegetables for the rest of his life, and beg the Bodhisattva to protect my life.

Xie Zhi looked at Pei Yu who suddenly clasped his hands together:?

Xie Zhi: "What are you doing?"

Pei Yu quickly put down his hands and said, "It's nothing, are you sure these cases are all related to the Dacheng Sect?

"These cases are not big or small, how can Xie Shilang be sure that these parties have received the help of the church?"

Xie Zhi: "The Dacheng Church's hand is probably longer than you imagined. This kind of big or small matter can be settled by a church, which is not only unobtrusive, but also can win the trust of those officials."

Transferring armaments, kidnapping courtiers' wives, releasing criminals privately...

She even suspected that the occurrence of these cases were all staged by Da Chengjiao himself. To do this, it is unknown how far Dachengjiao has infiltrated the imperial court.

"If that's the case, wouldn't the church already have a lot of court officials under control?" Pei Yu said.

Xie Zhi thought of the oracle issued by Wuming Temple, and nodded heavily: "So we have to act fast, before Dacheng Church uses these people to make any big moves."

Pei Yu: "What do I need to do?"

"Continue to investigate and follow up the follow-up of the case." Xie Zhi mused, "I have to find His Highness."

//

It was Prince Dasheng's mansion again.

A Chong and Steward Wang leaned against the door in the backyard, looking at Yang Dejin who was wearing a denim jacket and didn't know what he was busy with.

A Chong: "My lord, you don't want to be a carpenter, but changed to clay sculpture?"

Steward Wang shook his head: "It's not counted as a change of profession, at most it's a sideline business derived from the old business, and it's all the work of craftsmen."

He was talking about Yang Dejin cutting a wooden crossbow before.

A Chong: "?"

Their master's old business should be regarded as a public office, right? Right? !

The concierge ran over and interrupted the conversation between the two: "Housekeeper, Xie Shilang is here."

Steward Wang and A Chong looked at each other.

This Xie Zhi is a celebrity in front of the prince. The prince loves him very much, so he can't neglect him, but the prince's current body is really... inconvenient to meet people.

Butler Wang: "Take it to the lobby, and I'll serve you good tea."

After the concierge answered yes, he ran away immediately.

Steward Wang stepped forward and told Yang Dejin.

"Master Xie is here? Tell him to come here." Yang Dejin shouted without looking back.

Steward Wang seemed to have the heart to let the Minister of Criminal Justice see this... The simple Prince Yu didn't know whether he should persuade her to change clothes, so he didn't move for a long time.

A Chong is straightforward, seeing that Steward Wang didn't move, he consciously went to bring someone over.

Butler Wang: …

The author has something to say:

A Chong: Understood, the prince has fallen in love with clay sculpture again.

Steward Wang: It’s the first time I’ve seen someone who can talk about playing with mud so refreshingly.
