v2.Chapter 06 (1/2)
At the end of the night, there are many figures in the palace of emperor Ning.
”What's wrong? Do you have to let me know in the evening of the new year?”
He was wearing a bright yellow bedclothes, and the Ryukyu crown had been removed, revealing the mottled silver silk on his head.
Gao Gonggong came out behind him, waited for him to take a seat, and waved his hand to let the maid in waiting step down.
Several important ministers of the court suddenly came to see them in the rest of the year, and it was late at night. There must be something important that could not be heard.
After sitting in the imperial case, Emperor Ning raised his eyes and looked down. Suddenly, he felt that the people standing at the bottom were very familiar. He had just summoned them recently.
”Ji Daogong, Pei Zheng, Lin Yi?”
Ji Daogong is the censor of Yushitai. He corrects and impeachs Baisi in Vocational College, argues for wrongs, and supervises every way.
Pei Zhengzheng is the Minister of Dali temple. He is in charge of prison and case trial. Lin Yi is the Minister of Dali temple and his deputy.
Why did they come together?
Ning Di waved his hand and motioned everyone to sit down and talk.
It must be no small matter that two senior officials of the second grade and one senior official of the third grade of the current Dynasty come here at night.
Gao Gonggong ordered people to bring tea. Ning Di looked at Pei Zheng and said, ”I've told you about the assassination of marquis Gu Shizi. I'll give it to your Dali temple for review. The investigation department in Dali temple is a good hand in investigating cases, but it has got results? ”
Pei Zheng got up and arched his hand: ”I came here at night just for this case. Your majesty, Lin Shaoqing is in charge of the investigation department. He has found out some clues, but this clue involves higher-level officials. I dare not continue to visit them without authorization. Officials in the court have heard that impeachment has always been a matter of the censor's office, so I took the liberty to invite Mr. Ji as well. ”
Ji Daogong was the first official of the imperial censor. He was over the age of Huajia. He was a very prestigious old minister of the former dynasty.
It is because of his prestige that he has no conclusive evidence for impeaching all officials, and has always refused to export it easily.
Since Pei Zheng can move him, naturally he has some control.
Ning Di looked at Lin Yi, ”Lin Shaoqing, what have you found?”
Lin got up and said, ”my Lord, the attack on marquis Gu's son happened in the middle of December. The investigation began in the late of December. At that time, all the organs of the imperial court were preparing to seal and close the yamen, and began to rest. According to common sense, apart from purchasing new year's goods, there should be no other major moves. But Xiaguan found that there were large-scale personnel transfers in the prime minister's office at that time. ”
”Prime minister?”
Ning Di frowned, ”what does the prime minister's office transfer personnel to do? What's your so-called large scale, and how large is it? ”
Lin Yidao said: ”Marquis Gu has always kept a low profile. He seldom sent his own soldiers. He even sent 40 people to escort Su's mother and daughter back to Jinling. But if we want to deal with these 40 Gu's soldiers, we need at least double the elite to win. But the number of people transferred by the prime minister's office is three times as high. According to the news from kuanji Yan of Changzhou Prefecture, the body of the assassin he collected under the cliff is just right. ”
Three times, that's more than a hundred people.
There are only 40 people in the Marquis's house to escort women's dependents. What needs more than 100 people in the prime minister's house?
He never heard of Yin Yan mention that it was impossible for more than 100 people to buy new year's goods?
After a moment's silence, Emperor Ning stroked his beard, ”this matter involves the Prime Minister of the current Dynasty. It's not easy to be careless. If it's just the number of people, it can't be concluded that it was the Prime Minister of yin? ”
Lin Yi said hastily, ”it's true. But the Prime Minister of Yin is a good official. He has no right to investigate the case, but can only report it to his majesty for disposal. ”
That is to say, at present, we only doubt the prime minister's office, but we can't conclude yet.
Ning emperor's face looked better, and then he looked at Ji Daogong, ”because of such a little doubt, he invited Mr. Ji to come. It's too impolite for you two younger generation.”
Ji Daogong stood up with the back of his chair and bent slightly. ”Your Majesty doesn't have to blame the two adults. It's the old minister who has something to play. This matter has a lot to do with what the two adults said, so they came together. The old minister wanted to impeach Prime Minister Yin and secretly associate with the envoys of Xikun, intending to harm our Dongling country! ”
Click.
In a flash, the lid on the blue and white tea cup was almost on the ground.
He reached out to help him to hide his gaffe.
”In secret contact with Xi Kun envoys? How did you know that? ”
Ji Daogong looked at Lin Yi, who nodded slightly, and then said: ”in fact, after the attack of marquis Gu's son, the first thing I suspect is the people of Xikun. Gu's army is guarding Dongling's territory at the border. If it had not been for Gu's army, Xikun people would have invaded our border and disturbed our people. So I sent someone to watch the envoys in the post house and found that they didn't have this person to transfer. Fortunately, there was an unexpected harvest. ”
”The people of the minister found out that the poison in Gu houshizi's party was the Miao Village secret poison unique to Xikun.”
