Chapter 7 Another Clue
Chen Pi thanked him happily, and then said with some confusion: "Yes. The young man was also confused. After checking, Chu You was about to be driven out of the palace, so he would follow His Eleventh Highness to make trouble. However, the front office of the Palace Secretary promoted him, which was a bit unreasonable."
Zhao Xu understood after thinking for a moment, and said with a smile: "Dianqianshi knew that I was assassinated. They did this because they were afraid that I would pursue it, so they came in advance."
Even if Zhao Xu is a puppet, he is the emperor. If he is assassinated, he will definitely not be able to ask for help from the Palace Front Office, which is responsible for the safety of the palace.
Chen Pi suddenly realized and said, "The government, why don't we take the opportunity to get more benefits? We didn't have anything before."
Empress Dowager Gao's strict control over Zhao Xu was not only because of his power, but also because of his restrictions on every word and deed in the palace, and he was inferior to the child Zhao Ji. It was this time when he was assassinated, plus the rumor, that was relaxed.
Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "You can't go too far. And the main thing we have at the moment is to find out who is hurting me behind the scenes. If you don't find them out, you will come again sooner or later."
Chenpi looked solemn and said, "Don't worry, the villain must do his best to find these villains for the official!"
Zhao Xu smiled, looked outside and said, "I'll find a way to touch outside again. I want to know who is loyal and who is suspected."
Chen Pi understood it and said, "I'll find a way to arrange some people to collect the news outside the palace, and then ask in the Political Affairs Hall."
Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes. The dried tangerine peel was still very smart and said, "Go, if you have any questions, let me know as soon as possible."
Tangerine responded and walked out with a excited expression.
He used to be a errand, but now he is different. He is the chief manager of Funing Palace. He must do something well and not let the official down!
When Zhao Xu saw Chen Pi go out, he sits on a chair and looks at the book in his hand, and still thinks in his heart.
The biggest threat is that people in the darkness should slowly break free from their constraints and gain the power of self-protection.
Now that's the beginning, it's just right.
‘Slowly draw it!’
Zhao Xu's eyes shone brightly and looked at the patrolling guards outside.
When Chenpi had just left, Zhou He also entered the Cining Hall and reported to Empress Dowager Gao.
"The Prince Suining and some imperial guards who were about to leave the palace rode horses and shoot arrows on the Qingshou Hall, and almost fell off the horse. The official was furious and wanted to send these people to the Imperial City Division. Later, he was worried that the movement would be too great, and the Prince Suining City Division would affect the Prince Suining, so he punished those people to Funing Hall for the time being. Chenpi had been placed, and the officials in front of the hall promoted the leader to the custodian..."
Zhao Ji is now awarded the title of Prince of Suining.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Gao said calmly: "This Zhao Ji is really a mess. He rode a horse and shot arrows in the palace, and he caused many disasters! I heard that the officials taught him a lesson?"
Zhou He bowed and said, "Yes, I heard that the fight was very hard this time."
Empress Dowager Gao was still calm and said, "The government did the right thing. Zhao Ji should fight, and those people should also be sent to the Imperial City Department. What else has the government been busy with?"
Zhou He knew what Empress Dowager Gao meant, and said, "The officials went to find the Prince of Suining, and they were in Funing Hall other times, and they did not see anyone else."
Empress Dowager Gao thought about the rumor and looked cold, saying, "The people who harmed the officials must be found. If you can't find them, let the people outside come in and check them."
If the foreign ministers were allowed to enter the inner court to investigate the case, Zhou and the chief manager would be completely wiped out.
Zhou He gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma gives the villain some time, and the villain must find out the truth!"
Empress Dowager Gao didn't want to know this. She would not let anyone else come in unless she had to. She looked a little cold and said, "You said before that Gao Gongji just took something to the palace and had never seen the official family?"
Zhou He lowered his head and said, "Yes, that's what Gao Langjun said."
Empress Dowager Gao frowned. Judging from her many years of experience, this matter was unusual, but it could not be investigated publicly. After thinking about it, she said: "You press down on this matter first for the Ai family, and you must not spread it outside. Find an opportunity to bring him to the Ai family. The Ai family must ask for it in person."
Zhou He said, "The Emperor's Assassination" was a sharp sword hanging on the heads of everyone in the palace. No one could sleep without finding out.
At the same time, outside the imperial city, Niuxing Street, and Gaofu.
An obese middle-aged man walked around under the eaves, looking at the door from time to time.
He kept raising his head and rubbing the cold sweat all over his face, his eyes full of anxiety.
I don’t know how long it took, a woman came over, looked at him in confusion and said, “Master, it’s not yet summer yet, why are you so hot?”
This middle-aged man was the nephew of Empress Dowager Gao, Gao Gongji, who had a false position such as the governor of Ningzhou and the envoy of the tutor.
He glanced at his eldest lady, looked irritable and restless, and said, "Is there anyone else coming to the palace? Not only in the palace, but who else has anyone else coming?"
The eldest lady Qin Shi, the eldest lady Qin looked at him with more confusion and said, "Aren't you said you would like to thank the guests in your back these days? Apart from the palace, no one has ever been there."
Gao Gongji's fat face moved, and he shook his sleeves and walked inside, saying, "No one will come in the future, and no one will come in the palace."
Madam Qin had already noticed something wrong with him and asked, "What the hell is going on? It was wrong for you to come back from the palace that day. What happened?"
"Don't ask, you are not allowed to talk too much to anyone, and you should also take care of your servants!"
"I feel even more uneasy when you say this. You explain it to me..."
"I can't explain it to you, just do what I said!"
...
After Chen Pi left, Zhao Xu read a book in the study. After a while, he suddenly looked up and shouted outside: "Zhao Ji!"
After waiting for a while, Zhao Xu walked out and looked outside the door. He saw a stool sticking out of thin air on the wall, but the person had long disappeared.
Zhao Xu smiled angrily and said, "Okay, very good, wait for me!"
...
The next morning, Zhao Xu finished breakfast and stood in front of the steps bored, looking at the morning sky.
He had no memorial here, and the jade seal was taken away by Empress Dowager Gao, which could be said to be doing nothing.
The sky was soon tired of seeing, and Zhao Xu's eyes fell on the yellow gates walking back and forth, the palace maids and the patrolling guards.
Chu You and others were almost doing nothing and could only walk back and forth in front of the small Funing Hall gate to show warning.
Chu You and others were numb when Zhao Xu saw her scalp and her movements were a little stiff.
One of them whispered to Chu You: "Brother, what does the official family mean? Do you still want to deal with us?"
Chu You was about to shake his head, but suddenly his heart tightened and he whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."
Chu You had a very high prestige. He shouted softly, and the others immediately stood up straight and dared not say much.
Chu You glanced at Zhao Xu, as if he had thought of something, and his expression tense was tightened.
Zhao Xu felt bored after reading for a while, so he had to go back to read the book.
In his study, there were not many people about Wang Anshi's reforms, because the dynasty hated Wang Anshi's "forgetting his ancestors for several slandering", and they all hoped that Zhao Xu would be a polite emperor like Renzong, rather than an enterprising Shenzong.
Zhao Xu searched and took out Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" and read it slowly.
Sima Guang was a conservative leader. His works were highly promoted by the dynasty, and Zhao Xu was also indispensable here.
I looked through it slowly and found it interesting, and it was noon before I knew it.
Chenpi came back from outside, wiped the sweat from her head, walked up to her and whispered: "The official family has finally found some of the villain."
Zhao Xu closed the book, sat up, and said seriously: "Speak quickly."
Chen Pi glanced outside and said, "There was nothing unusual in the palace that day. Gao Langjun had been here. Someone saw that he had seen the official family that day, and then he didn't know where he went. No one knew how he went out and when he went out."
Thinking of the three words "Gao Langjun", Zhao Xu thought to himself with his eyes open and thoughtful words: "Gao Gongji?"
He couldn't remember what happened that day, but he just vaguely remembered someone standing behind him and pushing him into the well.
Chen Pi was very focused and said, "The villain has also been checked outside the palace. Gao's house has been closed for several days and Gao Langjun has not left the house. This is abnormal."
