Chapter 443: Turn over old accounts

Jiang Shuyi looked surprised.
Give incense?
It is impossible for people in the palace to use incense given by others. This is common sense for life.
Concubine Xue Gui sneered, "What's the matter, do you think your palace is poisoning the incense?"
"Slaves dare not!"
"Is this palace that stupid? It will poison the incense, haha..."
Xue Guifei laughed loudly.
Jiang Shuyi lowered her head, thinking that she was really too complicated.
It's just a simple delivery of incense, why she should come forward.
In any case, she is still the empress of Shuyi, and Concubine Xue Gui can't send her to do this little thing.
Concubine Xue Gui was obviously unable to explain Jiang Shuyi, she looked at Jiang Shuyi with a smile but a smile, "Take these incenses and send them one by one. If you miss someone, my palace will be angry."
Jiang Shuyi hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, the maidservant must complete the task."
"Very good! Go down and do things."
"The slave servant retire."
Jiang Shuyi exited the hall holding a box of incense.
The two ladies of the court followed, and they were called to help Jiang Shuyi share the burden, in fact, to monitor her.
Jiang Shuyi had no choice but to let the two palace ladies follow her.
Zhou Miao wanted to talk to Jiang Shuyi.
Seeing from a distance, there were two strange court ladies beside Jiang Shuyi, knowing that she was not good, she immediately retreated, and did not show her face in front of Jiang Shuyi at all.
This palace is getting more and more noisy.
The emperor was still alive, everyone jumped out impatiently, not at all reserved.
Zhou Miao snorted, then laughed again.
He is going out of the palace to find Gu Jiu for money.
...
Palace.
"Madam, Duke Zhou is here again." Xu Yousi bowed to report.
Gu Jiu was surprised, how could Zhou Miao come here at this time, are you afraid of being jealous?
"Invite him in."
Despite the suspicion in his heart, Gu Jiu still failed to reject Zhou Miao.
She also wanted to get some news from Zhou Miao.
Zhou Miao swaggered into the East Courtyard of the Royal Mansion and greeted familiar people.
Xu Yousi watched this scene, eyes twitching.
"Grandpa Zhou, please."
Zhou Miao swept his eyes, Xu Yu said, "Following Madam Zhao, it's so rare and strange. Your wife didn't drive you away. Do you have any special skills?"
Xu You was expressionless on all sides, "My wife has been waiting for a long time, please face me for a kilometer."
Zhou Miao sneered, "If you don't tell, don't tell, our family won't make you difficult."
Zhou Miao walked into the door with his sleeve.
Xu Yousi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Does Zhou Miao really think everyone is as crazy as him?
"Madam, we met again." As soon as Zhou Miao walked into the small study room, he changed his expression and smiled very sincerely.
Gu Jiu looked at him, "Duke Zhou, please sit down and serve tea with green plum."
Tea was offered, and Gu Jiu greeted him for tea.
Zhou Miao picked up the tea cup and took a sip with cheer.
"Madam's tea is always so good."
"Drink more if it tastes good."
"No, business matters."
Gu Jiu looked at him with a faint smile, "I don't know what's the matter with Grandpa Zhou?"
Zhou Miao smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, "I haven't congratulated my wife for making money. It's amazing that a group of refugees from the southern city gate can play so many tricks with his wife."
"My father-in-law is polite! What the father-in-law said is not a flattery to my wife."
Zhou Miao suddenly put away his smiling face, and said solemnly: "Madam, the palace is not peaceful now."
Gu Jiu sighed, "Your Majesty is seriously ill. It's strange that the palace is peaceful."
"Madam is wise. Now that people are panicking, does Madam have no plans?"
Gu Jiu glanced at him, "I don't know what Duke Zhou's plan is?"
"Our family is about to discuss with the wife. As far as the news is concerned, my wife of skill has seen it. However, a clever woman can hardly cook without rice and has no silver in her hand. Even if she has great skills, she can't display it."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Speaking of which, Duke Zhou just wants silver."
"Exactly. Isn't the wife satisfied?" Zhou Miao didn't hide his true intentions.
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It is difficult to ask for money, but easy to say. I don't know what Duke Zhou intends to exchange with me? As far as I know, Jiang Shuyi has taken refuge in Concubine Xue, and her use value is not much. "
Zhou Miao laughed, "Madam is really well informed. I have some news here and I can sell it to Madam."
Gu Jiu was a little interested. "Let's listen. If the news is true, I would also mind giving more money."
Zhou Miao looked at her with a faint smile, making it clear that he would not see rabbits or scatter eagles. Don't give news if you don't give money.
Gu Jiu laughed and clapped his hands.
Soon, Qingmei reappeared holding a box.
All the boxes contained silver bills.
Gu Jiu took out a stack of them, almost two to three thousand taels, and placed them in front of Zhou Miao, "Let me listen to your news first. If the news is valuable, all the cash in this box is yours."
Zhou Miao grabbed the bank note on the table, fearing that Gu Jiu would regret it later.
After receiving the cash receipt, he didn't play tricks, and said directly: "Concubine Xue Gui can't sit still. He wants to act on Concubine Xiao Shu."
"Just this news?" Gu Jiu hummed, "This news is worthless."
Zhou Miao laughed, "Li Defei wants to support the little prince in the upper ranks, is this news valuable?"
"Be specific."
"In recent days, your Majesty has asked someone to take the little prince to the bedroom when he is free. Madam, this is a bad sign."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Anything else?"
Zhou Miao continued: "It stands to reason that the little prince is so spoiled, and Concubine Li Defei has already jumped up. But recently, she has been unusually calm and guarding herself. Madam, be careful."
Gu Jiu smiled, "It's worth a bit, but not enough."
"I have said that there is not enough money in my hand, and I can't get the news. Madam will give me all the money here. After some time, I promise to give you valuable news."
Gu Jiu looked at him with a faint smile, "Last year, Concubine Shu was poisoned. I gave you a large sum of money and asked you to help me find out about the black hand. It's been a year now. You can ask me what's going on."
Zhou Miao shook his head repeatedly, "I can't be blamed for this, I have tried my best."
Gu Jiu snorted, "The so-called best-effort is just some specious news. You can buy the news with a little money."
"Can Madam Li Shizhong buy the news of Li Shizhong?" Zhou Miao looked confident, obviously determined that Gu Jiu could not buy the news of Li Shizhong.
Gu Jiu was surprised, "Do you have news from Li Shizhong?"
"Unfortunately, I just got some news."
"tell me the story."
Zhou Miao stared at the wooden box in Gu Jiu's hand, coveting the tens of thousands of silver notes in it.
Gu Jiu laughed mockingly, and pushed out the wooden box neatly and placed it in front of Zhou Miao, "Say! As long as there is enough value, these silver tickets are yours."
Zhou Miao looked around and said in a low voice, "I don't know who your Majesty will make the crown prince, but I know that the edict of the crown prince must be written by Li Shizhong."
Gu Jiu was shocked, "Why are you so sure?"
Zhou Miao's voice became smaller and smaller, "In the past, all the edicts of the position were written by the Sun family. But this time, according to the news I got, the Sun family has been excluded.
In the end, the edict must be written by Li Shizhong. As long as you stare at Li Shizhong, it is not difficult to know who your majesty passed the throne to. "
Gu Jiu's heart moved.
As mentioned earlier, the natal family of the Taifei (the former prince) and the Sun family is a very powerful family.
This family is powerful, and the children of the family themselves are very capable and never rely on in-laws to develop.
So even if something goes wrong with the in-laws and the married daughter causes a catastrophic disaster, they will not be involved.
At the beginning, the concubine Sun calculated the emperor, if someone found out, the Sun family would be able to escape safely. This is the power of the Sun family.
What's even more powerful is that so many emperors and their edicts were all written by the then head of the Sun family.
This glory is extraordinary.
For the sake of passing the edict, successive emperors would treat the Sun family with kindness. As long as the Sun family does not participate in the rebellion, the Sun family will be able to enjoy wealth and glory for a long time.
The big family that has passed on for hundreds of years really has its own foundation.
According to the convention, the emperor had to set up his edict, and it should have been written by the grandson of this generation.
However, Zhou Miao said that the emperor intended Li Shizhong to replace the Sun family.
What does this mean?
Gu Jiu wondered, "Where did you get the news? Why didn't your Majesty abandon Sun's family and use Li Shizhong instead? Don't be kidding about such a big thing."
"It is precisely because this matter is so important that our family dare not joke. The source, I can only say that it is from Xingqing Palace. As for why your Majesty abandoned the Sun family, I don't know if you ask me."
Zhou Miao looks like a bachelor, I don't know or I don't know. Even if you know, don't tell.
Gu Jiu frowned, "When did you get the news?"
Zhou Miao laughed, "Just two days ago."
Gu Jiu frowned, "According to you, your Majesty has made up his mind who is the crown prince?"
Zhou Miao shook his head, "I don't know about this. Anyway, your Majesty has to summon courtiers every day, and no one has already discussed the results."
how is this possible!
If we really want to discuss the results, there must be a rumor.
Now that there is no wind at all, it means that the emperor has not made up his mind yet, and is still hesitating. Or waiting for the princes to rush back to the capital.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Your news is well-informed."
Zhou Miao grinned, "So so. With this money, I can inquire more news."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Then I will wait for your good news."
Zhou Miao left the palace holding a box of silver tickets.
Gu Jiu was still stuck in the news of Li Shizhong's writing of the edict.
This news is really unexpected.
Why did the emperor suddenly look at the Sun family not pleasing to his eyes?
Why do you want to abandon Sun's family Li Shizhong?
What is unique about Li Shizhong? Not only can he be reused by Queen Ruizhen Cui, but also be trusted by the emperor. The emperor even entrusted him with the important task of passing the edict.
These things in the courtroom are really heartbreaking.
It's not as clean as the business.
She didn't bother to think about it, so she called Qian Fu directly and gave him the news.
Let him and Liu Zhao bother.
She wanted to control the affairs of the court but couldn't control it.
...
The Palace of the King of Chu.
Xie Shi came to the quiet room and had already waited for the incense stick time.
Fang Shaojian asked him to come, but he played chess all the time. He is a little irritable.
What does Fang Shaojian's move mean?
After a round, Fang Shaojian looked at the moves on the chessboard with satisfaction.
"Xie Weiwei is here, sit down and talk."
"Thank you Father Fang, I'll just stand."
Shao Jian Fang didn't force him, he was thinking about how to speak.
After much deliberation, it was straightforward, "Do you know how your father Xie Mao died?"
Xie Shi frowned.
The death of his father Xie Mao was the beginning of the decline of the Xie family.
Once his father died, he no longer had any support, so he had to interrupt his studies and abandon his education and military affairs. As soon as possible to seize the current Prince Chu Mansion in the East Palace as a support, the Xie family did not fall down instantly.
His father has been dead for several years, so what's the meaning of Fang Shaojian's mention of this at this time?
Xie Shi said blankly: "The government investigation said that my father died of a culprit."
Shao Jian Fang smiled contemptuously, "Do you believe what the government said?"
Xie Shi sternly said, "What if I don't believe it? The Donggong told me the same thing back then, and told me to mourn and change."
Shaojian Fang stared at him, "I can tell you with certainty that your father did not die of a thief, but was murdered. I can also tell you who the murderer of your father was?"
Xie Shi's expression instantly cracked, and he had many doubts.
"Since my father didn't die of the thief, why did the Donggong and the government unanimously say that the father died at the hands of the thief? Father Fang, since he knew who the murderer was, why didn't he say it until today?"
"You have a lot of suspicions, just like your father." Fang Shaojian sneered.
Xie Shi had a sullen face, "If Father Fang was like me, he almost suffered family destruction, he would not dare to trust others easily."
Shaojian Fang looked at him with a faint smile, "You know the murderer of your father, in fact, you know, or even know it."
