Chapter 38: Being Pitted
Shen Yian has never been a soft man, otherwise he would not have been able to take up the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple in just three years.
The person outside the Shen Mansion has been staring at recently is not from the Green Forest, but from the East Palace. But he knew that Your Majesty cares about Green Forest, so the hat was pressed on the Green Forest, so Your Majesty would send someone to him.
And what kind of eyesight does the Great Inner Guard have? How can he not recognize the people from the Eastern Palace?
Therefore, he wanted His Majesty to know that the Eastern Palace had set his sights on him and used this to trick the Eastern Palace into a trap.
If the prince wants to win him over, he will definitely not finish his business just because he sent his younger brother Ping'an to be a playboy with Yan Qing. Instead of dealing with Yan Qing, he will probably want a more powerful way to attack him. Instead of being prepared, it is better to take the initiative to attack and spread this matter in front of His Majesty. If His Majesty knew that the prince was in the Eastern Palace, he would not only not reflect on him, but also acted continuously in private. After moving Chen Qiaoyue, he would also move him. His Majesty would definitely not be angry and would sternly warn the prince. After his Majesty's warning, he naturally did not dare to touch him again. This was a one-and-one method.
After Shen Yian left with two great guards, the emperor frowned, "Lu Lin is too brave."
Eunuch Zhao continued on the side, "The Green Forest has been in its own lineage since the founding of the Taizu Dynasty, and it has been a lineage for thousands of miles. There are people from the Green Forest. In the previous dynasty, Green Forest burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Your Majesty in this dynasty, and Green Forest has been restrained a little, especially in recent years, Green Forest has changed its new master, and it is even less arrogant. Now it is just a thirteenth person, and it is very noisy."
"A black thirteen is enough to make a bloody storm." The emperor looked at Eunuch Zhao, "How many years have the Green Forest changed to a new master? What is the name of that new master now?"
Eunuch Zhao shook his head, "I don't know, I have to ask people who are familiar with the world."
"Ling Hua is in charge of Jiangnan's canal transportation and often deals with Green Forest. How can she know?" the emperor asked.
Eunuch Zhao asked tentatively, "Why call Miss Ling to ask?"
"Forget it. She was very busy as she was approaching her wedding. It was said that there was something wrong with the Jiangnan canal transportation. She could not leave the capital, so she sent people around her to deal with it. The Ministry of Rites discussed the wedding charter, etc., and they all needed to ask her that Yan Qing was a irresponsible person. She only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. It was said that she embroidered her wedding dress with her own hands, but she also took Yan Qing's unembred auspicious clothes from the Imperial Clothing Bureau to embroider. Just because Yan Qing saw her embroidered auspicious clothes, she asked who would make his auspicious clothes? What do you think she would be busy?" The emperor shook his head, "She is now more busy than me, the king of a country."
Eunuch Zhao said with a smile, "Miss Ling is so concerned that she is not dissatisfied with this marriage. The little Marquis of Yan obviously got along well with Miss Ling. The two of them got married successfully, which can be regarded as a tragic illness of the Empress Dowager."
"Yes, that bastard always makes the empress dowager worry." The emperor also smiled, "He looks better than Qin Hua's face, so it's worth Ling Hua's happiness in this marriage. He said that he would never marry anything and could marry Ling Hua. I really don't know how many lifetimes he has achieved."
Eunuch Zhao nodded. Miss Ling's goodness was something that could be seen by a person, and only Qin Huan's fool was clamoring to break off the engagement.
After half an hour, the two great eunuchs sent back to the palace to report their lives. When they saw the emperor, they both felt a little reluctant to speak.
The emperor looked up and said, "What's wrong? The people in the Green Forest didn't hold it?"
The two looked at each other, and the elder of the year lowered his head and reported, "Return to Your Majesty, Chen Shaoqing made a mistake. The person staring at Chen's mansion is not from the Green Forest."
"Huh?" the emperor frowned, "Isn't the Green Forest? Who is that?"
The Great Eunuch said honestly, "It seems to be... a person from the East Palace."
The emperor's face looked ugly in an instant, "Confirm?"
The big eunuch voice was a little weaker, "No, I'm not sure."
The emperor slapped the table with a "slap" and said angrily, "Are you from the Eastern Palace? As the great guards, can't you tell the difference?"
The big inner guard immediately changed his words, "It looks very similar to a person from the Eastern Palace, but because he didn't take anyone, he dare not say that he is very sure."
The emperor was furious and he knew in his heart that if the Great Eunuch Guard said that it was very similar to the East Palace, it would undoubtedly be the people in the East Palace. It was just that the Great Eunuch Guard did not hold the person. He was always cautious and could not say it was certain.
What a prince, what a Xiao Ze, his good son.
He hadn't thought about Chen Qiaoyue's affairs yet, so he asked him to think about his mistakes in the East Palace, but what did he do? He didn't know how to reflect on himself, but he still danced happily behind his back and even made up Shen Yian's idea.
What was his idea to beat Shen Yian? Is it because he ordered Shen Yian to handle the case of Green Forest? And his East Palace is really involved with Green Forest?
His prince was actually involved with Green Forest and said it was a big deal.
"Where is Shen Yian?" the emperor asked in anger.
"Shaoqing Chen was also confused for a long time. He was going to enter the palace to apologize to His Majesty, but it is said that someone from Dali Temple was circulating that there was news about Hei Thirteen, so he went to Dali Temple first." said the guard of the Dawei.
The emperor nodded and stood up, "Come here, prepare for your journey, I will go to the Eastern Palace."
Eunuch Zhao did not dare to delay and quickly gave orders.
Soon, the emperor sat on the jade chariot and went to the East Palace.
In the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince Xiao Ze had not received any news yet, and he didn't know that he had been cheated by Shen Yian. He was angry that the people who went to the Censorate were useless, but he was speechless by Shen Yian and scolded.
The person who was sent out to watch the movements of the Shen Mansion outside the Shen Mansion was looking for an opportunity to grasp Chen Ping'an. Before he could withdraw, or Xiao Ze didn't want to withdraw at all. He was angry and felt that he could not do anything to Chen Ping'an for the time being, so he just found an opportunity to deal with Shen Yian. He didn't believe how hard Shen Yian was, and he couldn't break bones.
The people from the East Palace he sent did not expect that Shen Yian would bring the Great Inspector and attack them directly. Fortunately, they ran fast, but they did not dare to return to the East Palace, for fear that the Great Inspector would confirm their identity. Therefore, before the emperor came to him, Xiao Ze did not know that he had fallen into Shen Yian's pit.
Someone outside shouted, "Your Majesty is here!" Xiao Ze was shocked and overjoyed. He had been in the Eastern Palace for so long, and his father finally came to see him.
He hurriedly went out, thinking of taking the opportunity to plead with his father. If his father loves him, he will definitely let him go. He has been in the Eastern Palace for so long and has not seen outside. Even though the forces in the Eastern Palace are still active, he is still panicked.
The emperor got off the jade chariot and saw Xiao Ze, who could not hide his joy at his face.
The father and son have not seen each other for many days, but the emperor was so angry when he saw him.
The emperor had a gloomy face and his first words to Xiao Ze were, "Come with me."
Xiao Ze's heart skipped a beat, and the joy on his face faded away, and he swept to Eunuch Zhao. Eunuch Zhao turned his face away, so he naturally did not dare to give him any hints in his majesty's anger. Xiao Ze's heart was irritated and followed the emperor into the study.
When he came to Xiao Ze's study, the emperor asked, "Xiao Ze, I ask you, do you reflect on your mistakes these days?"
Xiao Ze hurriedly bowed, "Go back to my father, my son has carefully reflected on me."
Naturally, he didn't dare to say that his mistake was that he shouldn't have bribed Chen Qiaoyue and shouldn't have stepped into the trap given by Ling Hua.
"I ask you, someone outside Shen Yian's mansion, but you sent it? What do you want to do?" The emperor didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "I'm not dead yet, you can't wait to take over my position, right?"
Xiao Ze was startled and knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, frightened and frightened, "Father, my son and minister don't dare."
"You don't dare yet? Where are you afraid?" The emperor raised his foot and put it on him, kicked him to the ground, and said angrily, "What are you sending someone to stare at Shen Yian? Do you really think that the big guard can't recognize the people from your Eastern Palace?"
Xiao Ze couldn't speak anymore. He didn't understand why the person he sent to stare at Shen Yian was grabbed by the guards of the tail. But he was really sent by him. Now he didn't understand the situation and couldn't refute it.
The emperor looked at him and saw that he looked frightened and did not refute. It was obviously the truth. He became even more angry and pointed at him, "Xiao Ze, Xiao Ze, your heart is really big now. Are you just looking forward to my death so that you can ascend the throne?"
Xiao Ze was almost scared to death, almost cried, and knelt on the ground with a crying voice, "Father, I am not, I am not, I am not, I am hopeful that my father will live a hundred years of life, no, I am long alive."
"Then I ask you, why did you send someone to stare at Shen Yian, and you will give me a reason today." The emperor stared at Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze's mind was spinning quickly, so he naturally didn't dare to say that because Xu Zizhou defected to Ling Hua, the two most talented people in Houliang were left with Shen Yian, because Xu Zizhou defected to Ling Hua, he just guessed that this could not be said, especially in his current situation, the emperor felt that he was talking nonsense when he said it.
