Vol 2 Chapter 152: Opening (1)

　　 Now the palace has become a place of right and wrong. No foreign ministers are allowed to enter the palace. The princes and concubines in the palace are naturally unable to summon foreign ministers.
　　 So Princess Huaiqing told me something? Xu Qi'an immediately followed the captain of the bodyguard, rode on his beloved little mare, and hurried to Huaiqing Mansion.
　　 Huaiqing Mansion is the highest in the imperial city and the most heavily guarded area.
　　 In this area, there are the residences of the royal family's clan and the residences of princes and daughters such as Lin'an, which is second only to the imperial palace.
"Somehow I am the organizer of the Chuzhou case. Although I am not at the center of the storm, I am also one of the main people involved. Huai Qing asked me to do anything at this time. It is definitely not a long time since I missed me. ........"
　　 To tell the truth, Xu Qi'an came to Huaiqing Mansion for the first time, but it was the second princess's residence. He had been to many times. If it weren't for too much eyeliner and irregularity, Xu Qi'an could ask for an exclusive guest room in Lin'an Mansion.
　　The layout of Huaiqing Mansion is the same as Lin'an Mansion, but the overall preference is deserted and elegant. From the plants in the yard to the furnishings, there is a sense of indifference.
　　 In the spacious and bright living room, Xu Qi'an saw the long-lost Huaiqing, this simple and elegant woman like a snow lotus.
　　 She wore a plain palace dress, covered with a light yellow veil, simple but not simple, half of her black hair was scattered, half of her hair was in a bun, with a jasper hairpin inserted and a golden step.
　　 Her facial features are superbly beautiful and three-dimensional, her eyebrows are exquisitely long and straight, her eyes are big and bright, and she is deep, just like a clear pond after autumn.
　　 "Your Highness!"
　　 Xu Qi'an clasped his fists, and wanted to ask her with a smile, whether he liked the seal he gave him or not, but the words came to his lips, but without the interest of teasing, he took a seat at Huaiqing's sign.
　　 "Tell me about the details of the Northern Territory." Huaiqing's face was indifferent, and his eyebrows were a little dignified and gloomy, and he didn't seem to have any interest in talking or laughing.
　　 Xu Qi'an then told the details of what happened in Chuzhou.
　　 After listening, Huaiqing was silent for a long time, with a beautiful face that was not happy or angry, and whispered: "Come with me to the yard."
The back garden of 　　 Princess Mansion is very large. The two walked side by side without talking, but the atmosphere was not awkward. There was a sense of peace and harmony of the old people meeting each other.
　　 "The father is wrong. Duke Huai is the prince first, and then the martial artist. In life, the higher the status, the more you must consider the position of sitting. This is the foundation of standing up."
　　 For a long time, Huai Qing sighed and said: "Therefore, King Huai has a survivorship, even though Dafeng lost a pinnacle martial artist."
　　 What about your father? Is he also dead?
　　 Xu Qi'an whispered: "Your Highness is righteous."
　　 Huaiqing shook his head, a beautiful face appeared in sorrow, and said softly: "What's the matter with righteousness? It's just that the blood is not cold. I...I am very disappointed with my father."
　　 Xu Qi'an was about to speak when he suddenly received a transmission from Huaiqing: "Father's imperial stay in the palace is not timid, but his strategy."
　　Princess Huaiqing's cultivation level is not shallow. If you want to transmit sound, you must reach the realm of refining God. She has been keeping a low profile......... Xu Qi'an was taken aback, and the sound transmission asked:
　　 "Strategy?"
　　 Huaiqing nodded slowly, and the sound transmission explained: "Have you ever noticed that in the past three days, the civilian officials stuck at the gate of the palace, who has gone, who has come, and who is just watching the fun?"
　　 Xu Qi'an is dumb.
　　 glanced at him, Huai Qing continued to transmit:
"The matter of King Huai's slaughter of the city was passed back to the capital. Whether it was a traitor or a good minister, whether it was indignation or fame, it was impossible for any scholar to be unresponsive. At this time, the public sentiment was passionate, and the wave was the fiercest. So the father avoided his edge and stayed closed.
"Of course, one blast, decline again, and exhaustion. Wait for the princes to calm down, wait for some people to achieve their fame, and wait for other voices in officialdom. That is when the father really ends up wrestling with the princes. And this day It will not be too far, my palace promises, within three days."
After she finished speaking, she said "heh" again, seemingly mocking and disdainful: "Nowadays, rumors are everywhere in the capital, the people are frightened and angry, and all classes are talking. At first glance, it seems to be a big trend. However, the real opponent of the father is only Above the court. Not the traffickers and pawns."
　　 Xu Qi'an frowned, and said solemnly, "But after all, Duke Huai is slaughtering the city. He must give an explanation to the public and the people of the world."
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 Huaiqing sighed pessimistically: "Let’s see how Wang Shoufu and Wei Gong move."
　　 In the heavy atmosphere, Xu Qi'an changed the subject: "His Royal Highness used to study at Yunlu Academy. Have you ever heard of a book called "Supplements of the Great Zhou Dynasty"?"
　　 Huaiqing recalled carefully, shaking his head and saying: "I have never heard of it."
　　...........
　　 On this day, the civil servants filled with righteous indignation still failed to break into the palace or see Emperor Yuanjing. After dusk, they dispersed.
　　 But the civil officials did not give up and agreed to come back tomorrow. If Emperor Yuan Jing did not give an explanation, the entire court would be paralyzed.
　　 Also on this day, different voices appeared in the officialdom.
　　 Someone worried and asked a question: "The trouble of the king of Zhenbei and the city is known to everyone. What is the majesty of the court? The people of the world are very disappointed with the royal family and the court."
　　 Zhenbei Wang is the younger brother of his majesty, is a dignified prince, not an ordinary prince.
　　 At the same time, he is also the of the army, the guardian of the north in the hearts of the people.
　　 People like this, for their own sake, slaughter the city!
　　 The sequelae caused by this incident is that the people have lost their trust in the court, that the royal family’s face has been disgraced, and the people’s hearts have been lost.
　　 The sentence "The king of Zhenbei has fallen to death", can it really erase the wounds in the hearts of the people?
　　This is different from killing corrupt officials.
　　 In the past two decades, the King of Zhenbei has a stalwart image, a military god, a guardian of the north, and a generation of princes.
　　 is greedy? Killing corrupt officials will only show the majesty of the court and the majesty of the royal family.
　　 But if the royal family commits such a brutal act, the people will clap their hands and cheer like they killed corrupt officials? No, they will collapse their faith and lose trust in the royal family.
　　 It turns out that our beloved King Zhenbei is such a character.
　　 will even produce a greater overreaction.
　　 Also on this day, the Prince of the East Palace was assassinated in the palace after dusk.
　　 That night, the gate of the palace was closed, and the imperial army filled the palace to search for the assassins, but to no avail.
　　 The next day, the four gates of the capital were closed, and the first assistants Wang Zhenwen and Wei Yuan, mobilized the five guards of the capital, the government to arrest the fast, and beat the guards to hunt down the assassins throughout the city.
　　 door to door.
　　 The whole capital city is flying around.
　　............
　　 "What does the prince have to do with this incident? How come he was assassinated for nothing, is it a coincidence, or is it part of the game? If it is the latter, it would be too miserable."
　　 Early in the morning, Xu Qi'an, who heard about it, went to see Wei Yuan immediately, but Wei Yuan did not see him.
　　 In desperation, he had to turn around and went to the inn, planning to discuss with Zheng Xinghuai.
　　 "Master Zheng is out, not at the inn."
　　 Li Han, carrying a horn bow, entered the house to meet Xu Qi'an, and said in a deep voice:
　　" Recently, there have been some different voices in the officialdom. It is very tricky to talk about the case of the King of the North of Zhenbei. It is related to the prestige of the court and the hearts of the people everywhere and needs to be treated with caution.
　　 "Master Zheng was very angry and went out this morning. It seems to be to preach at the Imperial College."
　　 Those are the navy soldiers of the old emperor... Xu Qi'an sighed, but he admired Emperor Yuan Jing a little bit. After playing power for so many years, although he was an incompetent emperor, he was not dizzy.
　　 Together with Li Han, he rode to the Imperial College.
　　 From a distance, I saw Chief Minister Zheng standing outside the Imperial Prison, feeling very grateful.
　　 "The saints say that the people are the most important, but the king is the light..."
　　 "The king of Zhenbei, as a prince, slaughtered the people and treated them like livestock and lambs. This is really the common enemy of my scholars..."
　　 "The scholars of my generation should make good for the common people of Li people and stand for merit. Therefore, I returned to Beijing and vowed to seek justice for the 380,000 people in Chuzhou City..."
　　 Does he do this useful?
　　Of course it is useful. Some of the newly emerging big scholars (academic big scholars) like to preach in places like Guozijian before they became famous in the world.
　　 Spread his academic ideas.
　　 If you can get the recognition of the students and become famous, then you can start a school.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 Zheng Xinghuai is not spreading ideas, he is criticizing Zhenbei Wang and calling on students to join the critics.
　　 The effect is very good. Scholars, especially young students, are ambitious and passionate. They are much purer than the old fritters in officialdom.
　　 From ancient times to the present, most of the troublemakers and parades are young people.
　　 "Is there no one to stop?" Xu Qi'an asked.
　　 Li Han shook his head.
　　 This is unreasonable... Xu Qi'an frowned.
　　 He waited patiently on the side of the road, until Zheng Xinghuai finished his anger and returned with Shentu Baili and other guards, and Xu Qian greeted him.
　　 "This place is not a place to speak, Xu Yinluo will follow me back to the station." Zheng Xinghuai's face was stern and serious, and he nodded slightly.
　　 Returning to the station, Zheng Xinghuai led Xu Qi'an into the study. After Li Han served tea, this scholar who had a life ups and downs looked at Xu Qi'an and said:
　　 "Is it for the rumor in the officialdom today?"
　　 "This is only one of them. The rumors are spread by him, but it is not unreasonable. I have to guard against it." Xu Qi'an sighed and said:
　　 "I am mainly assassinated for the prince."
　　 Zheng Xinghuai pondered: "Who was the most active in this case?"
　　 Xu Qi'an was taken aback: "Wei Gong and Wang Shoufu."
　　Zheng Xinghuai sat down in distress, nodding his head and said: "This matter was mostly planned by Wei Gong and Wang Shou. As for the purpose, I don't know."
what? Wei Gong and Wang Shoufu are going to assassinate the prince?
　　What is the reason? Does the prince have anything to do with this case....... This answer is something Xu Qi'an couldn't imagine.
　　 After discussing for a long time, Zheng Xinghuai glanced at the water leak in the room, and said solemnly: "I have to visit my old friend in Beijing and walk around, so I won't leave any silver gongs."
　　 Xu Qi'an got up, and when he reached the threshold, Zheng Xinghuai's voice came from behind: "Xu Yinluo..."
　　 He looked back.
　　 The scholar, whose back was gradually rickety, straightened his gray hair on the temples, and said:
　　 "The man promises a lot of money. I like Xu Yinluo's half of the poem very much. On that day, I promised 300,000 people who died in the city to seek justice for them. Having promised, there will be no complaints or regrets.
　　 "After this incident, Zheng resigned and returned to his hometown, fearing that he would never see each other again in this life~EbookFREE.me~ Therefore, I would like to thank you in advance."
　　 Xu Qi'an turned around, his face serious, and meticulously responded.
　　 He opened the door, stepped out of the threshold, and walked a few steps, and Zheng Xinghuai's chants came from the room behind him:
　　 "Young chivalrous spirit, making friends with Wudu Xiongs. Hepatobiliary. The hair is towering. In the middle of the conversation. Life and death are the same. A promise is heavy..."
　　 The world is turbulent and noisy. If you can retreat, you will only have a leisurely, idyllic pastoral, which is not bad... Xu Qi'an smiled.
　　..........
　　 Royal Palace.
　　Emperor Yuan Jing sat cross-legged on the futon, half-closed his eyes, and said lightly: "Did the assassin catch it?"
　　 The old shook his head and said respectfully: "No news has come."
　　 "If you can't catch it, you don't need to catch it."
　　Emperor Yuan Jing opened his eyes, his smile was cold and stern, but in an emotional tone: "At the top of the court, Wei Yuan and Wang Zhenwen are a bit interesting, and everyone else is a little bit worse."
　　 The old lowered his head, making no comment, nor dared to comment.
　　 Emperor Yuan Jing continued: "Send people out of the palace and give talks to those on the list. You don't have to be sassy, ​​but you don't have to be careful."
　　 After a pause, he went on to say: "Notify the cabinet that I will convene all the officials in the Imperial Study Room tomorrow to discuss the Chuzhou case."
　　The old took a short breath and said, "Yes!"
