【Eighty】The city records enter the palace
Jiang Chengyi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then bowed to the prince and said, "I hope you can forgive me. I cannot and am not suitable to enter the palace to face the saint at this moment."
The prince was stunned and asked the reason.
Jiang Chengyi replied: "According to Your Majesty's wishes, I went to Hongnong to investigate the Su Ren case and capture the remnants of the alien race that led to the rebellion in the capital. Before leaving, Your Majesty specially instructed me to cut off all the connection between the Su Ren case and the Deng family. I have promised Your Majesty to do his best to protect the entire Deng family.
But... I did find the traces of Changming Army during Hongnong, and... they were familiar with Zhan Po in private. I cannot defend Deng against my true intentions, but I do not want to anger Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty thinks that I am a person who has no faith."
"What? Changmingjun had an affair with the Champa people?" the prince said in surprise.
Jiang Chengyi nodded and looked at each other. The prince was disbelief and shook his head and said, "How could it be? How could it be? Taiwei Deng hates the most about colluding with the enemy...How could it be?"
"Your Highness, this is a true and true matter." Jiang Chengyi affirmed again.
The prince was furious and wanted to speak but stopped. Then he frowned and said, "This matter... I can't let my father know about it for the time being, otherwise he would definitely not be able to bear it."
"Your Highness." Jiang Chengjia called out: "Don't hide this matter. Your Highness can't bear the crime of Deng's corruption and abuse of power and secretly interacting with Su Ren. Why are you hesitating about collusion with the enemy and treason?"
The prince was stunned and said sadly: "Teacher... it's not that I don't want to tell this matter out, but I'm worried about my father's physical condition. Besides... besides you and me, who else can enter the palace to report this matter to my father."
"I have one person who wants to recommend it to Your Highness."
The prince looked up at him and asked, "Who is it?"
"The Grand Marshal Hongnong - Hong Sanyi." Jiang Chengyi said. Then, he slowly told the process of pursuing the Zhanpo soldiers with him. When the prince heard this, he still hesitated and lowered his eyes without saying a word.
"Your Highness, I guarantee that your Majesty will not be ill when you learn about this. Although Qin Ye resigned from his post and returned to his hometown, he has informed the Imperial Physician Order Chief Su Yun in detail. You also know about this. With Lord Su, there will be no major incident. But if you conceal the fact that Changming Jun and Zhan Po privately conspired, it will threaten the peace of the entire Great Wei territory! Your Highness, please take care of the people of the world." Jiang Chengyi begged respectfully.
The prince's expression moved, and hesitated for a while before he agreed: "Well... he can escape from the third year of junior high school and the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. This matter will always be known by the father. It would be better to say earlier. Teacher, what do you want to do? This palace must cooperate."
"In addition to Hong Sanyi, I also want your highness to visit someone in person, and he will lead Hong Duwei into the palace to report this to Your Majesty." Jiang Chengyi saw that he finally nodded, and hurriedly said.
The prince asked: "Who is?"
Jiang Chengyi: "Sili Jiaweicheng Zhicheng, Lord."
The prince closed his eyebrows, hesitated first, and then thought about it, and then understood Jiang Chengyi's intention: "Indeed, the Sili Captain is indeed the best candidate to attract Hong Sanyi."
Jiang Chengyi nodded to him with a solemn expression: "It's just that Lord Cheng has always been idle and does not want to participate in such court party disputes. The officials of the county and county under his opponents are not harsh. If the ministers go to visit, they may... they will be rejected by him before they can speak."
The prince held his breath and finally said: "Okay, as the teacher said, I went to the temple to visit the temple and persuaded the Sili lieutenant to lead Hong Sanyi into the palace."
After the words finished, the young man hurriedly sent someone to prepare for the car. The teacher and student rushed to the Sili Captain's mansion together.
However, this morning, when an edict from Emperor Wei was sent to the Deng Mansion, requiring Deng Guozhong and Deng Qing to enter the palace to discuss matters together, Deng Qing had already noticed something wrong and was panicked. He became increasingly unconfident and anxious about Feng Youru leading Changming's army to suppress the rebels in Hongnong.
Although the Deng Mansion has many people in Hongnong, if you are not careful, the traces of Changming Army may still be revealed. The Wei Emperor's edict at this time was really imaginative and difficult to stabilize.
Since Deng Ling's death, Deng Guozhong has been having a high fever for one day for one day. After the fever subsided, he has been in a state of confusion and murmuring. In this state, he cannot enter the palace to face the saint.
Deng Qing felt embarrassed and anxious, but after thinking about it, there was no proper way to avoid the saint at this time, so he could only carry Deng Guozhong, who was sick and ill, and board the imperial carriage where Cui Qian drove out of the palace gate.
The car drove into the palace and was led by the eunuchs all the way to the steps of the South Palace.
Deng Qing held Deng Guozhong who was staggering and talking nonsense, and looked at the strict and majestic palace with uneasiness.
As soon as the grandparents and grandson entered the South Palace, they saw Emperor Wei sitting on the throne with a gloomy face, staring at them tightly. Deng Qing's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale immediately.
He led Deng Guozhong to kneel before the jade steps, leaned over to the emperor and said, "My dear Deng loves to meet His Majesty with his grandfather."
Deng Guozhong knelt in a daze, but his crazy expression was still very obvious. Emperor Wei saw something wrong with him at a glance, and couldn't help but frown and said, "Old tutor, isn't he better yet? Haven't I sent the imperial physician to your house for treatment? Why... Isn't it effective?"
Deng Qing leaned over and replied: "Your Majesty... Grandfather's illness is a knot in his heart. My second uncle died tragically in the suburbs of Beijing... Grandfather could not bear the blow and fainted on the spot. He woke up like this."
Emperor Wei stared at Deng Guozhong's haggard face and declining complexion, and remained silent. Taking advantage of this opportunity, when the emperor had not explained his intention to summon his grandparents and grandchildren to the palace, Deng Qing immediately bowed to the court and spoke first: "I'd like to ask Your Majesty to be the master of yourselves!"
Emperor Wei frowned, stared at the person kneeling down below, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Please severely punish those who caused the bandits and riots!" Deng Qing spoke out loud, his heart almost jumped into his throat.
Emperor Wei snorted coldly and said, "Why... Is the Protector General not satisfied with the result of my disposal of Jing Ting?"
Deng Qing immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty... I am not dissatisfied with Your Majesty's punishment to Commander Jing Da... but the real murderer who was angry at the death of the second uncle. Your Majesty! The real murderer has not been found, and it is not clear who should pay this responsibility... I am only afraid that Commander Jing Da was innocent and suffering..."
Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows: "I heard what you mean, and I seem to have learned the truth about the murder of bandits in the suburbs of Beijing? General Protector, don't talk around the bush. I don't have the patience to wait for you to explain in detail."
Deng Qing then said the words he had thought in advance: "Your Majesty... When I led the soldiers of the Deng Mansion to the suburbs, my second uncle was fighting desperately with the bandits. After I drove the bandits away, I wanted to save the second uncle... But he was already several arrows, covered in blood, and was at the verge of death.
Before I could say a few words to my second uncle, I was separated from his yin and yang. My heart was so painful that I was really unbearable. So... I carefully checked the identity of the bandits and found that these dead bandits were all wearing strange military uniforms, not owned by my Great Wei. I carefully identified them and found out that these bandits who harmed me, Second Uncle... were not bandits hiding in the suburbs of Beijing, but... Champo! If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can order Commander Jing and the two Guards to accompany me to the morgue in the charity house in the suburbs to check."
"Zhan Po?" Emperor Wei raised his tone, and felt suspicious in his heart. He temporarily slowed down his anger and asked according to Deng Qing's words: "Your intention... The reason why Deng Ling was attacked and died in the suburbs of the city was all done by Zhan Po?"
Deng Qing nodded and then bowed again: "Your Majesty... Although I have not entered the capital for three months, I also know about the chaos in Luoyang. The Zhan Po soldiers who caused this riot must have been cleaned up by the Jiangzhusi long ago... Why did they appear in the suburbs of Beijing again? They were so reckless and murderous?"
Deng Qing had already learned from Feng Youru that the Hongnong incident was the joint participation of Jiang Chengyi, the head of the Dongfu Office, and the Marquis of Huaiyin. He also immediately understood who in the suburbs of Beijing, who caused him to know that Deng Ling's personal soldiers sneaked into Changqi Mountain Villa to investigate, which made him mistakenly think that Deng Ling was going to take action privately.
He had heard of the name of Jiang Nu and knew that this woman was not an ordinary woman. It was very likely that the affairs in the suburbs of Beijing were her own actions. Otherwise, how could the woodcutters in the mountains and forests know that Deng Ling's personal soldiers came to Changqi Mountain Villa overnight. Afterwards, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. It was too late to realize the strange phenomenon. Deng Ling died under his suspicion and could never be saved.
The more Deng Qing thought about this, the more annoyed he felt. He had never met the Jiang Nu, but when he returned to the capital, he fell into her plan and killed his second uncle. Naturally, he refused to end such a deep hatred easily. Originally, he planned to push Deng Ling's death to the Zhan Po army. Now, by the way, he also had to pull the Dongfusi to take it off. He did this not only to avenge Deng Ling, but also wanted to use this method to suppress Hongnong's power, so that Jiang Chengyi and the Marquis of Huaiyin dared not act rashly again.
Emperor Wei stared at him coldly and asked, "Deng Qing. Do you think I have not punished Jing Ting enough...and I want me to deal with Jiang Chengyi?"
The young emperor immediately understood the real chill in Deng's love words, so he closed his cold eyes and looked at him with a smug look.
Deng Qing still never raised her head. For the sake of the Deng clan, he ignored the transaction with Princess Feiyu and Zhou Yuanmo, and said in a mixed manner: "Your Majesty! Please listen to me."
Emperor Wei stopped talking, calmed down and looked at him silently.
Seeing that there was no rebuttal sound from the jade stairs, Deng Qing said boldly: "Your Majesty... I have never reported anything... When I was still in the north, I had not set off to the capital... I heard that the evil thieves in the capital came out and forced themselves to break into the mansions of the important officials, disrupting the order of the capital.
