The emperor was very annoyed, and said with a smile: "In that case, Gu Zhong, you go and invite someone in person."
If the emperor invites you, no matter whether you are at home or not, you have to be called into the palace. Your Yang family is not a hermit.
Gu Zhong agreed, bowed and retreated.
At this point, the case is half-clear, but the emperor is not in a good mood, and sitting upright is not in a good mood either.
In the past two days, they have vaguely figured out that this time there are a lot of people in the palace, and many of them are trained by some people sitting below.
Even if the matter was over, the emperor waved his hand, and the somewhat angry escort retreated.
Man Bao got up with the others in a daze, stepped out, and knelt down to send the emperor away.
She didn't get up until the adults in front of her and beside her also got up, then reached out to help her cap, rubbed her eyes, and rubbed the eye droppings off her eye sockets, then lowered her head and carefully moved to Yang Heshu's side .
Yang Heshu whispered to her, "Even if you want to sleep, you should be more vigilant. It's fine if you can't discuss something related to you. If you have a meeting, you have to be awake and ready. talk back."
Man Bao nodded again and again to show that he understood, and then asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, who is Yang Rong? Was he the one who ordered Xu Yu to change the needle bag?"
Yang Heshu said with deep eyes: "We have to wait for Zhihe to find out about this matter. Yang Rong is the uncle of the Fifth Prince, and their home is in Shuile Street."
Man Bao faintly felt that something was wrong, and only remembered when he walked out of the palace gate, "But isn't the Fifth Prince your cousin?"
Yang Heshu laughed, reached out and patted her on the head, "Yes."
After that, he turned and left.
Man Bao rubbed his head, looked back for Tang He, and found that he was talking to Yin Li, so he ran after Yang Heshu.
After leaving the main hall, everyone went back to their respective offices. Some stayed in the palace, some went out to the office in the imperial city, and some went to the East Palace.
Man Bao and Yang Heshu were on the same road, and some adults who hadn't had time to go far saw Zhou Man running to Yang Heshu's side while holding his official hat with one hand, and talking to him with his little head up.
All adults: ...
Someone asked: "Yang Changbo is very popular with girls in the capital."
"Oh, my lord, I misunderstood it when I saw it. If you take a closer look, it's not like those girls look at Mrs. Yang. And I heard that Zhou Man is already engaged? It's still her junior brother."
Man Bao lowered his voice and asked, "Will Yang Rong be called to the court for questioning, and will I also go to the court to confront him?"
Yang Heshu laughed and said: "No, although I don't know what will happen in the end, but today His Majesty has already given Yang Rong's face enough, and when it comes to asking questions, not to mention the Yang family, even the fifth prince and mother will not be able to deal with themselves , at most Xiaochao will ask questions, that’s not something we can go to.”
He paused and then comforted: "Don't be afraid, even if you confront each other, you are still a victim, you are just an imperial doctor, you don't know anything, all you know is that they dare not do anything to you."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and belatedly remembered, "Brother Yang, the Yang family is your family."
Yang Heshu saw that she only remembered now, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said cheerfully: "Yes, my family is the direct branch of the Yang family."
Man Bao looked at him worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Will that implicate you?"
Yang Heshu shook his head and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Yang is very big, not everything will be involved in my family, by the way, Brother Qi has grown up, your sister-in-law said she would invite you to visit, but I seem to have heard that you left the city as soon as you left the palace?"
Man Bao nodded, "I'm going to Zhuangzi to play."
"Then how about Xiu Mu going to my house next time? I'll send someone to hunt a deer and come back, we can roast the venison in the garden."
When Man Bao heard this, he nodded again and again, "Okay, okay."
Yang Heshu nodded with a smile, "Then this matter is settled."
When the two talked about food, Man Bao was so excited that he quickly forgot about it.
But Yang Heshu, who returned to Chongwenguan, hesitated, and still wrote to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households to resign, asking to leave the East Palace to avoid suspicion.
Liu Shangshu was exiting the emperor's study at that time, and the group happened to meet Yang Rong who hurried into the palace for an audience at the door.
The other party's face was pale, and there was some sweat on his forehead in the cold weather. It looked that the situation was not very good. The several elders looked at each other, and then went out calmly, pretending not to see.
When Yang Rong went in, Yin Li and Tang He were still there, waiting to ask him something.
Liu Shangshu walked halfway and sighed, feeling that this year is really not peaceful, and things have not stopped since the beginning of spring, especially in the East Palace.
I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, the East Palace is indeed miserable, and it seems that it has been framed all the time.
He couldn't help but glanced at Wei Zhi and Mr. Tang, and couldn't help but whispered, "I heard that many people were taken from the palace this time, not only those who participated in the needle bag exchange, but also many eyeliners were pulled out." .”
Old Master Tang didn't speak, Wei Zhi couldn't help but glanced at him and said, "Liu Shangshu, it's been a while, you still dare to hear about it?"
Liu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, then immediately shuddered and explained: "Master Wei, don't get me wrong, I just listened to other adults' discussions, but I didn't ask the palace for news."
Old Master Tang still didn't speak, Wei Zhi continued: "We can't talk about this, we have to talk to Yin Li."
Liu Shangshu: ...
When he returned to the household department, he couldn't help sighing deeply when he saw Yang Heshu's request for a resignation, and couldn't help but tell his confidant: "This is the most regrettable place. It's fine if Yang Heshu is not involved in this matter. If he is implicated, then the gain outweighs the loss."
The right servant of the household department knew that Yang Heshu's next step should be to take his place, and the other party was outstanding. Not only the emperor, but also their ministers were very satisfied.
As their Shangshu's confidant, he knows that Yang Heshu is very likely to be the next Shangshu, and he is even ahead of him.
Although he was a little jealous before, but now he can't help feeling a little regretful, "Master Yang is indeed outstanding."
Liu Shangshu couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Master Yang doesn't know what to think. If I want to have such a son, I won't let others stand in his way."
You Shilang couldn't help making small talk with their ministers, "If this is Yang Rong's own doing, and if he doesn't do Yang Houye's business, it shouldn't implicate their family, right?"
Liu Shangshu glanced at him and said: "You underestimate Yang Houye too much. After all, he is the head of the clan. Even if he didn't participate in such a big matter, he wouldn't know nothing about it. It just depends on what he can do." A strong man can't break his wrist."
The servant on the right muttered in a low voice, "It's not against the law to protect relatives."
"It's not breaking the law, but it's a taboo," Liu Shangshu said, "Especially this kind of thing, if His Majesty doesn't say anything, can you not hate them in your heart?"
The right servant looked at Yang Heshu's request for a dictionary, and asked: "Then this..."
Liu Shangshu thought for a while, then received it and said: "Let me report it to Your Majesty."
