There was a strong smell of medicine in the bedroom.
Lu Yu leaned on the soft pillow and drank the medicine with his eyes half closed.
When placing the bowl, my hand was a little unsteady, and the bowl almost hit the lacquer plate. The palace servant Yu Lan raised her hand quickly, put the bowl on the carved tray, and then bowed back.
Although Gong Jun lowered his head, he did not miss this little accident. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but doubt the prince's physical condition.
"Gong Tongzhi is quite talented, and he found out a lot of things in just a few days."
The prince turned over the memorial in his hand and said slowly.
"Thanks to His Highness's reliance, the official can pass without hindrance. With the strength of Taijing Fuya and Beizhen Fusi, I will serve His Highness." Gong Jun not only can show official prestige, but also speaks of this kind of humility in the officialdom. A set.
The prince looked at Gong Jun for a while, and then said slowly, "Really? Why does Gu think there's something missing here?"
Gong Jun's body froze.
He said nothing about Meng Qi.
Gong Jun didn't know what the prince thought about the former state teacher. According to the information he had collected, the second prince was conspiring against him. It was because of the handwriting of the Qingwu ancestor that Lu Zhang seriously injured the second prince and escaped. This was done by Meng Qi. According to the piece of gold naked child made by the palace of the Chu Dynasty, it was possible to find Liu Dan, the general of the Dangkou. Gong Jun specially sent people to go around the downtown area a few times. As expected, he saw Meng Qi and Mo Li, who had no intention of concealing their whereabouts. People are casually strolling around the shops, going to different restaurants and teahouses every day.
When Gong Jun, who was too busy to go home at the time, saw the news, he was so angry that he ate a bowl of rice.
"His Royal Highness Mingjian, the capital is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are many true and false news. Due to limited manpower, Wei Chen has only stepped up to verify those who have bad intentions."
Gong Jun bowed his head respectfully, he quickly thought about what the prince knew in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face, and calmly reported, "Before the martial law in Taijing, there were many bandits from all corners of the country mixed into the city, and these people have complicated identities. , the prison of the Taijing government office is already full of people. For those suspicious people who are not wanted, Wei Chen made a rash decision and ordered people to strictly monitor them, but did not directly arrest them. Now, those who report to His Royal Highness the Prince are all It is unmistakable news, and I dare not make up the rumors in the market."
What immortals crossed the Qingjiang River, nonsense rumors!
Two strange beautiful men appeared in Dongshi recently, boring rumors!
Gong Jun plucked himself cleanly, a smile appeared on the corner of the crown prince's mouth, and the eyes of the deputy commander of Jinyiwei also became meaningful.
"Oh? How did Gu heard that someone mentioned the former national teacher?"
"His Royal Highness Mingjian, there are indeed such rumors. However, Meng Guoshi of the Chu Dynasty is now over eighty years old, and the old people in the city are only more than twenty people, all of them are citizens of Taijing. Therefore, this minister I believe that these are all baseless rumors, your Highness must not believe it!"
Gong Jun spoke righteously and sternly, and the prince was both angry and funny.
He was so angry that Gong Jun was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but what made him laugh was that Gong Tongzhi is really talented!
In the past, when the prince cultivated his own power, he specially thought about the Jinyiwei and the high-ranking people in the Imperial Guard. Those who were greedy for money and lust should control their weaknesses and levers, and those who were ambitious could lure them.
Gong Jun, however, is an insufferable guy, ignoring the hints of the Crown Prince and unwilling to stand in line easily, as if he was bent on taking the route of a lonely minister. But unlike Liu Dan, Gong Jun also lacked interest in gaining holy favor. He lived like a seventy-year-old Zaifu in the Wenyuan Pavilion. Reward to return home.
The prince ordered Gong Jun to investigate Zhang Xiang, but he was opposed by his ministers.
In their eyes, Gong Jun is a stinky and hard stone, stubborn and not necessarily sincere.
However, they didn't know that the prince knew something about Gong Jun.
"Gong Tongzhi, you are very satisfied with the evidence of Zhang Xiang's minions and the evidence that they killed the household officials in order to silence the guards. If you are willing to be used by the orphan, from now on, you will be loyal and loyal, and the orphan will reward you. You have a thousand taels of silver, a five-yard courtyard in Taijing, and twenty domestic servants, and I promise you to live in Taijing for the rest of your life."
The prince paused for a while, then said: "These twenty servants are from the Imperial Beast Garden outside the imperial city. The previous emperor did not like to hunt or keep wild beasts. In the palace, concubines and concubines wanted birds with gentle voices and obedient ones. I have raised a lot of cubs. I take care of them frequently on weekdays, feed them, take care of them, and even deliver the cubs. It can be said that they are proficient in everything. I heard that Gong Tongzhi has eight raccoon slaves at home. The servants are in a hurry, and items in the house are often broken and damaged, which is all because of poor care, such as the lonely Ahu, at most, he can’t get down from the roof.”
Having said that, he asked the palace servants to carry Ah Hu.
As soon as the raccoon slave entered the palace, he broke free from the palace servant and climbed onto the soft couch, and took the initiative to put his head under the prince's hands.
Gong Jun: "…"
Deputy Commander Gong made his eyes red.
They were all raccoon slaves, but the eight in the family ignored him.
Unless he has food in his hands, a quilt in the winter, and an ice basin in the summer, these raccoon slaves will never come over.
"His Royal Highness cares, Wei Chen is very grateful." Gong Jun gritted his teeth secretly to resist the temptation, the morality of the rivers and lakes still has to be talked about, the national teacher and the doctor saved him and his subordinates' lives. If you can't repay your kindness and vengeance, you will sell people in a blink of an eye!
Gong Jun said in a respectful tone, "His Royal Highness has a life, so why can't our ministers not do their best? Silver taels, mansion and... servants are really ashamed. His Highness will be enthroned soon, and we Jinyiwei should be kings in the first place. Deadly force."
He murmured in his heart that Lu Zhang was dead. He wanted to be the deputy commander of Jinyiwei in peace and stability, and if he wanted to make money to support his family, what other options could he have? Is it difficult to go to Zhang Xiang
Zhang Xiang deceived the king, but he did not have the courage to usurp the throne.
Even if Gong Jun paid 1,000 taels of silver, Gong Jun would not look down on it.
"It's good that Gong Tongzhi understands."
The prince did not force Gong Jun to hand over the information related to Meng Qi.
There are thousands of ways to make people truly convince them for their own use.
At this time, Director Chen whispered in front of the palace gate: "His Royal Highness, General Liu is here."
There are several generals surnamed Liu in the court, but only Liu Dan has been summoned repeatedly by the prince recently.
Gong Jun lowered his head and stared at the gate of the hall with his peripheral vision, and sure enough, he saw that the person who came in wearing a suit of armor was Liu Dan, the general of the bandits. In fact, Gong Jun was also wondering what was so special about this General Liu. Not only did Meng Qi live in his house, but even the sixth prince was hiding in his house before he escaped from the palace.
Thinking of the prince's "dissatisfaction" with him just now, Gong Jun's heart skipped a beat, suspecting that Liu Dan told the prince about Meng Qi.
Liu Dan entered the door and saw the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei in the hall. He didn't think much about it, and he didn't know that Gong Jun had already put a hat on him. Said: "His Royal Highness still has political affairs to deal with, Wei Chen retire."
"Wait...cough!"
The prince stopped him. He resisted the faint pain in his chest and frowned: "Gong Tongzhi, you have found out that a few days ago, a imperial guard was sent to surround General Liu's mansion. General Liu happened to be telling Gu Yan too. Given the perilous situation he was in that day, General Liu wondered why Zhang Xiang was so eager to kill him. Gong Tong knows that he is keen on investigating cases and is good at finding clues. It is better for General Liu to repeat the matter as it is, and ask Gong Tong to know it. He was puzzled."
The two looked at each other.
When Lu Zhang was still alive, Gong Jun was ordered to investigate the household department, mainly for the military supplies in the northern Xinjiang.
Liu Dan's crusade against bandits and bandits in Pingzhou used shoddy food and grass. The lack of jins and short liang was related to Zaifu in the DPRK. The suspect was Zhang Xiang, but there was no evidence other than a letter.
"...General is in Pingzhou, have you seen other important things?" Gong Jun asked step by step.
If things get stuck in a dead end, it's the wrong idea in the first place, and you have to go the other way. Gong Jun's suspicion made Zhang Xiang rush to kill Liu Dan, and it must not be the piece of paper, or even the military rations in the northern Xinjiang.
"This-"
Liu Dan looked at the prince hesitantly.
The prince nodded, and Liu Dan was relieved, so he deliberately vaguely met Meng Qi and Mo Li, and talked about the investigation of the Si family for stealing gold mines and collaborating with Qiuling County officials.
"I didn't expect that day that the Si family was deliberately trying to rebel! The young master of the Si family is rumored to be the apprentice of the Qingwu ancestor."
The crown prince is no stranger to the name Qingwu Patriarch. This is the Jianghu person who tried to take advantage of the second prince.
Not to mention Gong Jun, he began to frown upon hearing the words of Qingwu Patriarch.
"Wait, the general said... You got an account book?"
"Exactly, the last general turned over, but the Si family went out to do business in the name of bribing the account book of bribes that the government took extra care of."
Gong Jun, who had the resumes and factional position documents of officials above the seventh rank of the Qi Dynasty in his mind, immediately said: "Wu Zhang, the prefect of Pingzhou, is a student of Zhang Xiang, a jinshi in the ninth year of Yuanxiang, and the chief examiner at that time was Zhang Xiang. "
The teacher, the teacher, the classmate of the same year... The scholars pay attention to these the most.
"The prefect of Wu accepted the filial piety of the Si family, and then turned his head to honor Zhang Xiang. Now that the matter has been revealed, the crime is much more serious than the matter of the military rations in the northern Xinjiang." Gong Jun decisively determined that the matter was here, and he asked quickly, " Where are the books now?"
"It was destroyed when the ground moved." Liu Dan said angrily.
"… "
"His Royal Highness forgives your sins, it's really... The entire Qiuling County has been burnt down to the ground, and it will be nearly dead at the end, so I can't care about anything else." Liu Dan pleaded guilty, "There are only a few things that have not been forgotten in my mind. several records."
The prince sighed.
The muffled cough became louder and louder, and the palace servants hurried over to help, and hurried to get the medicine.
Liu Dan and Gong Jun did not get the fate of leaving, they could only watch the palace people busy around the prince.
"Meow!"
Ah Hu suddenly screamed at the beam.
Gong Jun was stunned for a moment and looked up, when Director Chen hurried in to report.
"Your Highness, the magician is here."
Gong Jun Daqi, shouldn't he be the imperial doctor? How can there be a title of a genius doctor? Before he went out, he clearly heard that the prince was seriously ill and could not even get out of bed. In a blink of an eye, the prince killed the emperor and wanted to ascend the throne himself. Could it be all the credit of this genius doctor
As soon as he thought about it, Gong Jun said that he had to stay to see where this genius doctor came from.
When Director Chen invited people in, Gong Jun and Liu Dan both felt the outlines were familiar, rubbed their eyes again, and were instantly dumbfounded.
Doctor Mo
The prince has even attracted Doctor Mo
Gong Jun was deeply remorseful, knowing that he had concealed what rumors and insisted on what morality? !
Selling all the news of Meng Qi can get a lot of money, and many people will get a big house in Taijing!
