631: Cheng Zhiyuan's Cause of Death (1 more)
The Jinyiwei took Cheng Qing away first, and a few hours later, he cleared Cheng Qing's study room.
This time Cheng Qing was taken away at home, and it was impossible to hide it from Liu.
Dong Jinqiu and Cheng Hui rushed over quickly, and Si Yan knelt on the ground: "Son-in-law, the young master asked you to let go and take your wife with you."
When Dong Jinqiu heard this, something was wrong.
Cheng Qing feels that he can’t take care of his mother?
——What a big deal!
Dong Jinqiu would definitely not think about the rebels, nor did he think that his brother-in-law was actually his sister-in-law. Dong Jinqiu thought that Cheng Qing was involved in the dispute over the throne.
Dong Jinqiu was a small official in the Hanlin Academy. The help he could find for Cheng Qing at this time was to test his two mentors, Mr. Zhang and Lord Mei.
"I'll go find Lord Mei immediately!"
Liu was in a state of confusion. He Wan came over and asked Liu to talk aside. When Liu saw He Wan, the insider, she couldn't help but reveal her concern: "Did they know Xiaolang, they knew her-"
He Wan held Liu's hand, "Auntie, I think Xiaolang was taken away by the Jinyiwei, not because of the reason you were worried about, but more likely to be the dispute between the founding crown prince. Think about it, if Xiaolang's secret was exposed, the Jinyiwei came to the door for the second time not only to take away the things in Xiaolang's study, but to capture you!"
The secret of Cheng Qing's dressing up as a man can be hidden from anyone in the world, but not her biological mother.
If Cheng Qing exposed his gender secret, Liu should have been taken away now!
Liu nodded repeatedly, "Wan Niang, you are right, you are right!"
He Wan comforted Liu, but she was not optimistic in her heart.
The longer Cheng Qing is in the hands of the Jinyiwei, the greater the possibility of being exposed. Unless the Jinyiwei has always treated Cheng Qing with kindness and respect, it will be a matter of time to discover her gender secret.
I have to rescue Cheng Qing as soon as possible.
The eldest son-in-law of the Cheng family, Dong Jinqiu, went to find Lord Mei, and He Wan suggested that Liu go to find Master Cheng Liu.
"Shangshu Cheng is an elder and the Minister of Works. Xiaolang is now working in the Ministry of Works. The Jinyiwei took Xiaolang away. Shangshu Cheng should be inquired about his feelings and reason."
He Wan's voice was slow, suppressing Liu's anxiety.
The exposure of Cheng Qing's secret will definitely be a major event that shocked the government and the public. They can't help but wait for the court to ask for punishment.
But before they are exposed, they should not panic and should deal with this matter with a normal attitude. Ordinary officials were arrested by the Jinyiwei, and their families would find ways to inquire about the news and actively run for rescue. The reactions of Liu and Dong Jinqiu were normal!
Liu wanted to go to Shangshu Mansion, but He Wan proposed to go with Liu, but Liu did not refuse.
At this time, only He Wan can share the pressure with Liu.
Whether it was Cheng Hui or Cheng Min, they did not understand the greatest fear in Liu's heart.
When Liu and He Wan arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Mr. Cheng Liu was already dressed neatly and was about to go out.
"I will go into the palace now and ask Your Majesty for an explanation."
Mrs. Cheng Liu hurriedly chased out, "Master, it's the national mourning now. Your Majesty will finish his seven days of worship in order to mourn the Queen Mother. You are now entering the palace..."
Seeing Liu and He Wan, Qin swallowed the second half of the words.
Qin's meaning is that Mr. Cheng Liu will definitely not be able to get it to the palace now.
Mr. Cheng Liu sneered: "It was the national funeral that I wanted to ask. Cheng Qing is also a fourth-rank official. The Jinyiwei invited him away from the palace gate last time, and the fifth prince asked for an order to take him out of the Northern Fusi. This time, all the princes guarded the empress dowager in the palace. The Jinyiwei made a comeback and took Cheng Qing away again. Whose order did he follow? If everything is acquiesced by His Majesty, I might as well take off his official hat and resign and return to his hometown!"
Qin Shi wished she fainted.
Even if the emperor instructed him to arrest Cheng Qing, it must be Cheng Qing's mistake that angered the emperor. A junior in the neighborhood is not very close to his family on weekdays. As for whether he wants to bet on his official position?
Before Liu's pleading was spoken, Mr. Cheng Liu had decided to go to the palace to ask for an explanation for Cheng Qing.
Liu called out "Uncle Six", and I really don't know how to thank him.
Master Cheng Liu asked Liu and He Wan to stay and wait for news, and he took a sedan chair and headed towards the palace.
Alas, Qin just thought he was impulsive and wanted to stand out for the younger generation, but he didn't even want to have an official position. However, he didn't think about how Cheng's family in Nanyi would be in the next 20 or 30 years. It depends on Cheng Qing's development.
If Cheng Qing was convicted for no reason, it would not be Cheng Qing's family, but also Mr. Cheng Liu himself.
Cheng Qing was taken away by the Jinyiwei twice, which shows that the emperor was dissatisfied with Cheng.
The eldest prince rebelled and the empress dowager passed away. What happened in the past few days must have affected the situation in the palace. Mr. Cheng Liu initially thought that Meng Huaijin was a member of the Gu family, which was a good thing. Now the situation suddenly changed. Mr. Cheng Liu had to suspect that the fifth prince had failed in the battle for the throne, and the situation in the palace had undergone tremendous changes, but because the emperor stopped the court, it had not yet been transmitted outside the palace!
...If this is true, Mr. Cheng Liu will not resign and will not be the "Secretary of Works" who has been for too long. It is better to retreat bravely and lose his official position to keep his family safe.
Master Cheng Liu met Cheng Zhixu who was in a hurry at the gate of the palace.
Mr. Cheng Liu nodded quite pleasedly: "Zhixu, you can be the overall situation first, and Uncle Liu is very happy."
If you can't write two processes in one stroke, you can first agree to the outside world, and then talk about internal disputes.
But Cheng Zhixu shook his head: "Uncle Six, you can't enter the palace."
Master Cheng Liu was shocked.
Cheng Zhixu's tone was a tough tone: "Cheng Qing was taken away by the Jinyiwei because he was related to the group of thieves in Huainan. Uncle Six, this is a serious crime of treason. You can't protect him. It's a blessing that he can't implicate Cheng!"
Mr. Cheng Liu couldn't help but say:
"What are you talking nonsense? Brother Qing'er has a bright future. How could he interact with the thief?"
This is the gate of the palace, how can you say such words nonsense?
Cheng Zhixu showed sarcastic expression: "...Cheng Qing does not look for thieves, but the thieves will look for him. Who said he was the eldest brother's son? In the fifth year of Chengping, the eldest brother cut off the court's investigation at the cost of his life. Today, six years later, it was Cheng Qing's turn to make a choice."
In just a few words, there is too much information.
How did Cheng Zhiyuan die?
Although the court did not publish the details of the investigation of Dali Temple, the final external conclusion was that Cheng Zhiyuan did not want to be with the corrupt officials of Hetai Prefecture and was killed by the corrupt officials. Therefore, the court gave Cheng Zhiyuan a posthumous title after his death.
Master Cheng Liu knew more, because Cheng Zhiyuan was poisoned to death.
Cheng Qing seemed to be worried about the cause of Cheng Zhiyuan's death and always wanted to find the "behind-the-scenes murderer" who was sheltered by the emperor. Now, following Cheng Zhixu's words, Cheng Zhiyuan died by taking poison on his own, just to cut off the court's investigation... Isn't that saying that Cheng Zhiyuan had contact with the thief during his lifetime?
Master Cheng Liu didn't believe it very much, but Cheng Zhixu would not joke about such things. Once such things were involved, it would be a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination. Cheng Zhiyuan was also a member of the Cheng family in Nanyi. Cheng Zhixu did not need to take the shit on him.
But how did Cheng Zhixu know about Cheng Zhiyuan?
