Vol 2 Chapter 82: Study

After the emperor left Rong'an Palace, Patriarch Ye entered the inner room.
Ye Chang told Qian Han, "Come in, Qian Han, put all these away."
Qian Han immediately entered the room and put all the things on the bed, thrown on the ground, and opened boxes away.
Patriarch Ye waited for Qianhan to clean up, and then said to Ye Chang, "The slingshot was taken out by the little girl from the Bauhinia Lake in the Xiangjun Prince's Mansion, although it is a fact, but you just stabbed the Xiangjun Wang out. There is something wrong. After all, the King of Xiang County has been guarding the eastern border. Over the years, it has been reported that the King of Xiang County did not form parties for personal gains, did not collude with courtiers, and did not display extravagance. On the contrary, he managed the soil and water in the eastern border in a low-key manner. The emperor's heart is suspicious, it is not a good thing for the East."
Ye Chang looked at Ye Patriarch and smiled, "Grandpa is kind."
Seeing his disapproval, Patriarch Ye said, "Besides, when I was assassinated, the emperor didn't see it with his own eyes. It's all based on what I said, and the slingshot is just a talk. The emperor's belief or unbelief must always be weighed. If so, Suspicion of you and I fabricated, this is not a good thing for you. Although you have blocked the emperor's hand, after all, the emperor is the emperor, and he can't carry favor with favor. It does nothing to provoke the emperor's suspicion.
Ye Chang laughed, "Grandpa is too worried."
Patriarch Ye looked at him, "Am I too worried? Do you think what I said makes no sense?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "Grandpa made a natural point. However, since it is a fact, it is always a fact. The emperor sent someone to check and found out. Although grandpa was assassinated, although it has not been rumored to date, there will always be no trace of the assassination. Besides, this is a clever plaything that Nuan Nuan sent me. I just gave it to the emperor. If the emperor has any questions, just ask her directly. Anyway, the emperor likes her very much."
Patriarch Ye looked at him and said, "Like to like, women are not involved in politics. It is a precedent in ancient times. Even if your mother was just going out with your father, even if she was armed and conspiracy, she couldn't compete for a place. She was therefore unable to compete for a place. If something is implicated, it is always bad."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "If I told Grandpa, what if Nuan Nuan has iron coupons in his hand? Do you still say that women are not involved in politics?"
Patriarch Ye was surprised, "What did you say?"
Ye Chang smiled and said lazily, "A few days ago, Fengyang Escort was picked at the two main rudders in Beijing, led Fengyang out, and killed in one fell swoop. That day and night, the emperor had already ordered the confinement of the five cities, anyone Can't get in. But she can't stop the person who holds the Taizu iron coupon amulet. She is holding Taizu's iron coupon amulet, and she left the city and saved Fengyang."
Patriarch Ye was shocked, "How could Taizu iron coupon tokens be in her hands?"
Ye Chang said slowly, "It is said that Taizu bestowed the iron voucher amulet to his brother Su who accompanied him to fight in the country and fight in the north and south. Later, Prince Su died and felt that his descendants had no virtue, so he returned the iron voucher amulet. Today. After the Iron Coupon Talisman returned to the Emperor's House, I haven't heard of anyone ever since."
Family Master Ye nodded, "Yes, that's what I know."
Ye Chang said, "On that day, I was in the imperial study room with the Criminal Ministry, Dali Temple, Five City Soldiers and Ma Si, and the government officials. Someone at the gate of the city told a report. The emperor did not expect the iron voucher symbol, so he did not avoid me. After I asked, I later learned that she was holding an iron coupon to go out of Beijing. Although restrained, she was vaguely surprised. Obviously, the emperor didn't know that she actually had an iron coupon in his hand."
Patriarch Ye immediately said, "Then where did her iron talisman come from?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "I didn't ask her."
Patriarch Ye was silent for a moment, and said, "The Nuan girl is young and still, and she actually has the iron coupon token in her hand. This thing can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses." After the words, he asked, "Count the day you said, things are also After a few days, what did the emperor do with the iron talisman in her hand?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "The emperor seems to have not even mentioned it so far."
Patriarch Ye said, "The emperor is an emperor who can calm down."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "Northern Zhou Xingbing, Southern Qi's Jiangshan was preserved by General Su Da, the world is known. But what everyone does not know is that, in fact, after Su Da was seriously injured, the last crucial battle was her. Chu Han’s hand severely injured Chu Han. General Su has always been upright, and it is impossible to keep these things secret. General Su reports to the empress. Although the emperor knows, because she is a woman, he can’t do anything to her. Because of this, it came up to ask for the imperial decree to marry her and choose a marriage for her. But the queen mother likes to join in the fun."
Patriarch Ye heard, "In this way, the emperor probably thinks that the iron talisman is not a big deal in her hands. After all, the Su family now has control of a million soldiers." After the words fell, he sighed. "The emperor trusted the Su family. At the moment of distress, General Su relieved his urgent need and saved the South Qi Jiangshan. Su Che was indeed a clamorous man. In order to serve the court, he devoted himself to leaving the Yanbei Su family, giving up his status as a son, and inheriting the title. Few people in the world can do it. It is really admirable."
Ye Chang nodded, "So, the emperor trusts the Su family, trusts her, trusts the iron coupon token in her hand, then he will believe this fact, and then he will investigate the Xiangcheng County Prince's Mansion, the iron ore, and who If you make such a clever crossbow and arrow privately, you will even think that if you make a large-scale crossbow and arrow for military use in large quantities, there will be any consequences. I will definitely not underestimate it."
Family Master Ye nodded.
When the emperor came to the royal palace, he immediately caused a sensation in the palace.
Hearing that the emperor was coming, Wang Lu hurriedly left the study and greeted him at the door.
After Su Fengnuan had lunch, she went back to her yard to take a nap. Even though she heard the sound of the emperor's arrival at the door, she did not get up and continued to fall asleep.
Wang Lu asked the emperor tentatively, "How did the emperor come to the courthouse today?"
The emperor said, "I sent Patriarch Ye back to the Royal Mansion of Rong'an, thinking of something, so I will come to see you in the mansion by the way."
When Wang Lu heard this, he knew that the emperor was looking for him for something, and said quickly, "The emperor, please go to the minister's study to sit down."
The emperor nodded.
Wang Lu invited the emperor to the study.
After the two entered the study, the emperor said, "I heard that Young Master Feng is recovering from your wounds in your house? How is his injury?"
Wang Lu said, "Young Master Feng is recovering from his wounds in the minister's mansion. The last time he sent Ye Shizi back to Beijing, the emperor sent him and Ye Shizi to the court's mansion, and you had friendship. This time it is said to get rid of Lin. Miss Fifth entangled, so she came to the court house. He was in serious condition. The emperor came up suddenly, and the veteran was not informed in advance. Young Master Feng should be too late to meet him at the door."
The emperor said, "Whether he welcomes me or drives me to the point of not blaming him, I have something to look for him."
Wang Lu asked tentatively, "Who sent someone to invite Young Master Feng to the study?"
The emperor said, "No hurry, I have something to tell you."
Wang Lu nodded.
The emperor ordered Koizumi to bring the brocade box, open it, and hand the clever crossbow and slingshot inside to Wang Lu to see.
Wang Lu had known from Su Fengnuan earlier. At this moment, when he saw it, he was still amazed at the exquisite manufacture of the crossbow arrow. He looked around and said to the emperor, "In the morning, Nuan's girl mentioned this to the old minister. But the old minister did not see it. When I saw something, I realized that this kind of thing is really exquisite and powerful."
The emperor said, "Oh?" He said, "Did she tell you?"
Wang Lu nodded, took a piece of paper on the table and said, "She met Patriarch Ye yesterday. After learning about it, she drew it out. She showed it to me early this morning."
The emperor glanced at the paper and said, "The little girl is a good painter."
Wang Lu nodded, "I have some painting skills."
The emperor put down the paper and said to him, "What do you think of this matter?"
Wang Lu shook his head, "It's hard to tell."
The emperor sighed, "The Yuegui concubine case has just been solved. Uncle Xiaoguo is investigating the two old cases and has not yet reached a conclusion. Now that this matter has happened again, the Ye family has been sticking to the south of the Yangtze River and has not been involved in government affairs for several generations. The son and grandchildren are stable. At first, Patriarch Ye didn’t want her daughter to marry King Rong'an. I said it. Later, I reluctantly agreed. After King Rong'an and Princess gave birth to Ye Chang, they followed the agreement and gave the surname Ye. He will not be confused. The heart of Chaogang."
Wang Lu nodded.
The emperor said again, "If it is the Ye Family's civil strife, it will be fine. But if someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to disrupt the country, it will be a big disaster. If such a clever crossbow arrow is made large for military use, I also know well that our troops will resist Can't help it."
Wang Lu nodded, "The emperor considered it very well."
The emperor said again, "For several generations, I have neglected military affairs in Southern Qi, but fortunately, every dynasty has such talents as generals such as Su Da and Rong'an, and they have been able to preserve from generation to generation." After a pause, he said, "I Originally wanted to wait for the Jinqiu scientific examination, Xiaoguo's uncle found out the old case and rectified the government, by the way, rectified the military, in order to change the national style. Unexpectedly, before I started, this happened."
Wang Lu said, "This matter must not be neglected, this is a major matter."
The emperor nodded, "Yes." At the end of the word, he picked up the slingshot and asked, "Since the little girl has something to do with you about the crossbow, can you talk about the slingshot?"
Wang Lu nodded, "I also said it."
The emperor asked again, "What do you think?"
Wang Lu admittedly said, "Although you can't doubt the King of Xiangjun based on this small slingshot alone, this slingshot was indeed fished out from the bottom of the Bauhinia Lake in the Xiangjun King's Mansion. It is better to check it out. Who made the slingshot? And then track who made the crossbow."
The emperor nodded, "It is said that Young Master Feng has a close friendship with the King of Xiang County. Therefore, when I come today, I want to ask him, do you know where the King of Xiang County comes from?"
Wang Lu thought for a while and said, "Fengyang Escorts are in the world, and they have some friendships with all places. It is inevitable. As for whether they have a deeper relationship with the King of Xiangjun, and whether they know about this, the emperor can ask Young Master Feng. After all. He is now in the old minister’s mansion, and he has checked the prince’s injury to the flower. After all, he is more involved with the royal family."
The emperor nodded and said to him, "Then invite Fengyang to come now." When the words fell, he said again, "Is the little girl in your house?"
Wang Lu nodded, "I guess she is taking a nap."
The emperor glanced at the sky and said, "Call her too, I have something to say, I have to ask her."
Wang Lu responded, walked to the door and ordered people to call Fengyang and Su Fengnuan.
