Chapter 273
When King Ping knew that he had come out of Tuantuan yard, he saw that he looked strange again, so he asked lightly: "I want to break off the engagement?"
"I dare not, how could my son-in-law have such an idea?" Yu Boyan said hurriedly, and was a little surprised to see King Ping looking at him indifferently. In the past, King Ping was always gentle and humble when he saw guests. Why did he change his face now? Thinking that he was also a member of the royal family, Yu Boyan felt relieved.
"Does my father-in-law have any clues?"
"The Zuo is just those families."
"What do you want to do with your father-in-law? Is there a place where the son-in-law contributes?"
"You don't need to go back."
"Yes." Yu Boyan responded, bowed and retreated, but was unwilling to let go of this matter. Since King Ping could investigate, he could also investigate.
Not long after he left, Zhuhua entered the study room of King Ping, looked inside, and said, "A Yan is back? I want to ask him if he wants to eat in the mansion."
"I've gone back." said King Ping.
Zhuhua looked at him and walked to him to sniff his face and asked, "Say, what did you say just now?"
Ping Wang tilted his head and hesitated for a while before saying under Zhuhua's gaze: "Tuantuan told him the matter. He wanted to help, so I asked him to go back."
"It's true that you shouldn't let the Anguo Marquis' Mansion get in." Zhuhua nodded and looked at him steadily, "Do you still feel that it doesn't seem to be done by the Zhang family?"
Ping Wang nodded, pulled her to his lap and sat, circled her body and said, "If it were really the Zhang family, they would be too stupid."
"Maybe he just wanted to do the opposite, deliberately selling the flaws that made you not think so."
When King Ping heard this, he still smiled and shook his head.
Zhuhua didn't argue with him and said, "Actually, I don't think it would be the Zhang family. It's not good for them to do this."
It was not just that there was no benefit, King Ping thought. When the late emperor passed away, he left a will. If the emperor had no descendants, the successor would choose the son of Emperor Huizhuang. This will be in his hands now, and Duke Qing knew about it. With this will, both Yuan Heng and Yuan Tai would be justified in the future. As long as the will is in his hands, Duke Qing would not dare to touch him. Duke Qing would not have to fear too many saints in the court. Even if the saint intends to establish others in the future, it would not go against the intention of the late emperor.
Only he and Duke Qing knew about this, even the emperor didn't know about it. Because of this, he didn't think that the Duke Qing was rashly attacking the Prince Ping's Mansion.
If it weren't for Duke Qing, then King Chen. The only ones in the capital who regarded Prince Ping's Mansion as a thorn in his side were the only ones. King Ping didn't think anyone would take action rashly because of such a small matter such as jealousy, and such a person would not have the intention to bury secret stakes in the princess's mansion in advance. According to his thoughts, this is probably because someone wanted to provoke the trouble between him and Duke Qing's mansion. If it were for this, King Chen would be even more suspicious.
But now he could not move King Chen until there was no definite evidence. Some people were more useful than removing them. With King Chen restraining Duke Qing in the court, the emperor had the opportunity to breathe and support his own strength and wait for the opportunity to eradicate the dissidents.
Since the Emperor ascended the throne, the surrounding areas have been eyeing each other, and the budget for military supplies has increased over the years. The Emperor is still young and is now at a time when the country is strong. He also wants to make it difficult to expand his territory first, but Duke Qing disagreed. However, he is afraid that this matter cannot be stopped by him. According to the current situation in the court, some of the Gentiles may not be able to sit still. In their eyes, Kang Chao is just a piece of fat meat. If they don’t break their teeth, how could they know that this fat meat is not something that anyone can eat.
Regardless of the future national situation, the undercurrent between Prince Ping’s Mansion and Duke Qing’s Mansion must be cleared, and he must maintain a peaceful and stable relationship with Duke Qing’s Mansion.
One day, King Ping asked Duke Qing to have a gathering in the teahouse. He chatted with him about the shop run by the Zhang family, and also about the military officer who was arrested when he went to the shop to steal and then came to the Ping Palace to assassinate.
At first, Duke Qing was wondering why King Ping would have a good time to ask him for tea. When King Ping told him about the matter, he knew the reason. He immediately understood the key points, and then said a few words to King Ping and left. After returning, he carefully checked the shop run by the Zhang family. After this investigation, the servants and tribe members in the mansion occupied many stores in the capital, and even the Lu family had many. There were several shops with unauthorized business. The outside world knew that this was a shop in the Qing country, and he dared not say anything.
Duke Qing had seen the clans chaotic chaos in his early years, but he did not expect that the Zhang clan would become like this once it grew. He was a little discouraged for a while. He did not follow the late emperor to be so prominent now, but he had a loyalty and love for his sister. Unexpectedly, his sister died early and the late emperor had already died, leaving only a situation that was not consistent with his expectations.
He wanted to rectify, but when he thought about the Lü family and the children in the clan, he felt that he had no way to start. He would be like this when he was still with them now, and he didn't know what would happen to the Zhang family after a hundred years.
But now, their Zhang family is far from being able to do it by others, and he has many unfinished things that cannot be stopped by anyone.
After that, the aura of the court became nervous again. Duke Qing and King Chen were already facing each other, but now they are even more dissatisfied with each other.
.The King of Chen was originally not very powerful in the court, and it was a long-established clan represented by the Lin clan. These clans were weak in the court and were very few left after being suppressed by Duke Qing several times. The emperor mentioned many candidates that Duke Qing also agreed with. The Prince of Beichuan also took the opportunity to be promoted to the Minister of Revenue. He was also the youngest Minister of Revenue in history.
After the emperor promoted him, he also advised him in the court to ask Duke Qing more if he had any unknown points. This was also the meaning of raising Duke Qing, but it sounded very harsh to Yuan Heng. He was always suppressed by Duke Qing in the Ministry of Personnel, and he could not do many things according to his own wishes. After finally getting to the Ministry of Revenue and becoming the head of a ministry, how could he listen to Duke Qing’s opinions again?
Duke Qing knew that he was young and energetic in the past few years, but the more he was like this, the less he could make mistakes. Yuan Heng was a person who was prone to stubbornness and disobeying advice. Only Duke Qing could barely suppress him. Originally, he wanted to take him over for a few more years, but since the emperor gave his kindness, Duke Qing let him go and could only think about keeping a close eye behind him so as not to create any mess that was difficult to clean up. If Yuan Heng really couldn't bear the big responsibility, he could turn around in time and transfer Yuan Tai back from the border.
Princess Wanhua kept secretly investigating Tuantuan's affairs, and she finally found King Chen. The emperor had known about this for a long time, and Princess Wanhua also secretly reported the results found to him.
"Is this the final result?"
In the bedroom, the emperor looked at Wanhua who was sitting in front of him and pouring tea for him. Her facial features were more like him and her personality was also similar. She only had a pair of eyes that looked very much like Queen Jingyi. At this moment, she was smiling and looking at the emperor, and Zheng nodded in a key position.
The emperor smiled and brought the tea to take a sip. Her skills in making tea were not as good as Wan Ning, so she was probably spending all her thoughts elsewhere.
"Is it fun to investigate the case?" The emperor asked.
"It's fun." Wan Hua responded immediately, but kept a smile and asked, "Father, is your son's minister also going to get engaged?"
"yes."
"Whose family? People who have too many rules don't want it."
"Don't worry, the rules are not big. I just came from the countryside last year and I am half a doctor." After the emperor said that, he looked at Wanhua, "You should have seen it."
Wan Hua lowered his head and thought, but he really thought of someone, so he looked up and asked in a low voice: "It's not the little coroner of the Geng family, right?"
"Little Coroner? He is three years older than you."
"But he is thin and small, and he is fierce..." Wan Hua muttered, glanced at his father who was smiling and asked suspiciously: "Have you ever been interested in his family?"
"I dare not express my intentions. If others know that Princess Wanhua is working in the Ministry of Personnel, where will I put my face?"
Wan Hua snorted in anger when he heard this and snatched the tea he wanted to drink.
The emperor lifted his empty hand helplessly, slowly put it down, and put it all over his sleeves and asked, "Are you reluctant? I will look for you again if I don't want to be a high-ranking official. There are still many nerds who are not suitable for being high-ranking officials."
Wanhua sat for a moment, handed a look at the emperor who was tentatively looking at her, and said, "Let's see if they are sincere."
"Okay, I'll let you go and vent your mouth."
"Who did you ask for a gamble?"
"Your Seventh Uncle." The emperor lowered his voice and said that he was still in a quarrel on the face of King Ping, so he could not let others know that the two of them often avoid meeting each other.
After a few days, King Ping Daisheng went up to ask the new Minister of Justice Geng Jieqing about his second son's marriage.
When Geng Jieqing saw him coming, he spoke: "Why are you here to ask? Didn't you have a quarrel with the emperor?"
"Mr. Geng was joking." King Ping smiled lightly, not answering his words, but looked at his left and right, and said, "Speaking of all, I haven't seen the son."
Geng Jieqing did not continue to joke after hearing this, so he asked someone to call his son. Geng Erlang heard that there were still customers in the house, and he deliberately made up his appearance when he entered the house. Unfortunately, for the convenience of entering and leaving the scene, he was wearing old linen clothes and was a little thin, and he didn't look like a young man from the high school. He had been staying in Pengze for many years with Geng Jieqing, and sometimes he would follow his father to help his fellow villagers work in the fields. Although he passed the exam, he just wanted to be an inequality coroner. His father had to stay in the countryside for so many years because he had investigated the case correctly. What else is there to do in such an officialdom?
Geng Jieqing didn't force him, and let him do what he wanted. Anyway, the eldest son in the family was still willing to spend time in the officialdom, so he didn't have to restrict his second son and go to the camp.
After seeing the ritual, King Ping saw that although he had lost weight, he was in good spirits. He looked so energetic, but he thought the emperor had a good attitude.
After a few greetings, he asked, "Do you remember that Yang Lingshi, who had gone through several reviews of the case with you these days, had a fair face shorter than you."
