"Father, this matter was fabricated by Brother Ning, please Father..."
boom!
Emperor Kai Yao directly picked up the inkstone and threw it at King Zhao.
Zhao Wang snorted, he was not as experienced as King Ning in avoiding the inkstone to hit his head, he was hit by the inkstone, and his forehead was bleeding.
Blood mixed with ink, black and red, really embarrassing.
Emperor Kai Yao didn't feel distressed at all, pointed at King Zhao, and angrily reprimanded: "Is it a beast?"
Zhao Wang's face was pale, cold sweat broke out, his back was soaked, and he knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.
"Go back to the palace and reflect on yourself. If you don't have my will, don't leave the gate of the palace. Otherwise, I want you to look good."
After Emperor Kai Yao finished scolding Queen Zhao, he shook his sleeves and left.
The early morning hastily ended.
All civil and military officials were worried and left one after another, trying to find a way to deal with it.
In order not to implicate himself in this big case.
Some people are already discussing, could it be that this year is a year of Tai Sui
Since the beginning of the first month, there has been no cessation, and accidents have happened one after another.
The son-in-law Chen was killed and abandoned the city, the prince was poisoned, and now it's the silver-selling case of the Shaofu Tongcheng, all of which are life-threatening cases.
This year is doomed to be uneven, and this year's spring is doomed to be full of blood.
King Ning came to King Zhao, "Brother Wang, do I need to help you?"
Zhao Wang was full of anger, "Brother Wang is a good plan."
King Ning laughed loudly, looking very arrogant, "It's so-so, I didn't disappoint you."
"Brother Wang is capable, but younger brother is willing to bow down."
King Zhao got up from the ground, he had calmed down now.
King Ning laughed and said, "I'm really sorry I didn't let you see my joke. Why don't I buy you a drink? Oh, you've been ordered to go back to your residence and have your feet grounded. It seems that we can only drink together next time."
The muscles on Zhao Wang's face twitched and his fists were clenched.
He said in a low voice: "It's not the end, it's too early to judge the outcome. Don't forget, His Royal Highness is still sitting firmly in his seat."
King Ning laughed, "You're right, it's too early to judge the outcome. Let's just wait and see?"
"Just wait and see!"
Zhao Wang left angrily.
A sarcasm flashed in King Ning's eyes.
He walked towards His Highness the Crown Prince who was sitting in the corner and had not made a sound all morning.
"Brother Prince, are you alright?"
The prince raised his head, with fine cold sweat on his forehead.
"Why is Brother Prince sweating? It's not hot today!" King Ning looked surprised.
The crown prince stood up from his seat, and said calmly, "Father is angry, and his lonely heart trembles."
King Ning smiled, "Shaofu Tongcheng's silver sale has nothing to do with the prince's brother, why should the prince's brother be nervous? As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Unless the prince's brother has ghosts in his heart."
His Royal Highness lowered his head slightly, "Prince Ning said carefully, I still have something to do, so let's take a step first."
King Ning didn't bother, he watched His Royal Highness leave in a hurry, with the corners of his mouth upturned.
He walked out of the hall full of ambition, but he didn't expect Li Shizhong to be standing under the eaves.
Hearing the movement, Li Shizhong looked back at King Ning, "I have seen the prince."
"Exemption. Li Shizhong is not busy with government affairs, so he stayed here to wait for the king on purpose?" King Ning looked serious.
He can laugh at King Zhao and mock the Prince.
But he didn't dare to underestimate Li Shizhong.
Even one year after Empress Cui passed away Ruizhen, Li Shizhong still sat firmly in his seat and was able to get along like a fish in water in the court, which shows that this person is very capable.
Li Shizhong was one step away from King Ning.
Both of them looked at the palace gate in front of them, at the hundreds of officials who filed away from the palace gate.
Li Shizhong asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What does the lord want?"
King Ning laughed mockingly, "This king said that he wants to disturb this pool of water with his own hands, what is Master Li's intention?"
Li Shizhong had no expression on his face, "If the prince really wants to disturb the water in the pond, this officer can help him."
King Ning was surprised, but he didn't look at Li Shizhong, his eyes were still fixed on the palace gate in the distance.
He said: "Lord Li, don't make jokes, this king doesn't like such jokes."
Li Shizhong smiled, "Is the prince afraid? I'm afraid that the next official is His Royal Highness's room, and it will harm you."
"Don't tell me you won't harm the king?"
"The lower officials never harm anyone."
Ning Wang laughed, this is not too bad for a three-year-old child.
Didn't hurt anyone? The number of people who died because of him, Li Shizhong, is unknown.
When Empress Ruizhen Cui was still alive, Li Shizhong was the sharpest knife in the Empress's hand, who could kill whomever she wanted.
Even Shaojian Fang was overwhelmed by Li Shizhong.
"What I did in the past was not what I wanted, please forgive me, my lord."
"Don't! I'm not familiar with Mr. Li, so there's no such thing as being considerate. If you have any purpose, please tell me straight up, and I'm all ears."
Li Shizhong squinted his eyes, "My lord doesn't believe in my officials now, but I do believe in them. In the future, my lords will definitely believe in my sincerity. Farewell!"
King Ning frowned and watched Li Shizhong leave.
This Li Shizhong, who is young and in a high position, suddenly came to show his affection to him, what is the meaning
Is it the crown prince's order
Or Donggong is going to hold back another bad move.
King Ning snorted coldly, regardless of his sword, light and sword, this king stood still and looked at him.
…
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurried back to the Bowang Garden of the East Palace, and first poured a large glass of water.
He panicked and sweated profusely.
Gritting her teeth, she asked the servant beside her, "Where is the Crown Princess?"
"Your Majesty should be in the bedroom at this time."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurried to the bedroom and drove all the palace people out.
Seeing this, the Crown Princess Sun was surprised, "What's the matter, Your Highness? Could something have happened?"
In the bedroom, there were only husband and wife, and all the palace people were kicked out.
His Royal Highness took a step forward, grabbing the shoulders of the Crown Princess Sun with both hands, "Where is Young Supervisor Fang? Hand him over."
The Crown Princess Sun frowned, looking confused, "What are you talking about? Young Supervisor Fang? Isn't he already dead?"
"Don't lie to Gu. Is it true that Gu doesn't know anything? Gu is just pretending not to know. Young Master Fang, hurry up and tell him to come out to see Gu."
Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince panicked, the Crown Princess asked softly: "Your Highness, please tell the concubine first, what happened to cause you to be so flustered?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said sharply: "Prince Ning told Shaofu Copper Chancellor Wen Guangren to sell silver. You know Wen Guangren. On the surface, he is Zhao Wang's man, but in fact he is the nail that the queen mother planted in Shaofu for Gu.
In recent years, the Eastern Palace has been spending a lot, and Wen Aiqing has taken great care. Now that he has been sent to jail, in case, Fang Shaojian knows best about this, you should call him out quickly. "
The Crown Princess Sun's face changed slightly, "Wen Guangren is actually the person arranged by the empress for His Highness, how could this concubine not know about it?"
His Royal Highness's face was ashen, "This matter is a secret, how can it be freely announced."
The Crown Princess Sun gnashed her teeth, "Young Supervisor Fang misunderstood me. Your Highness, this is not the place to talk. This concubine will take you to see Young Supervisor Fang."
The Crown Princess Sun was very angry.
Last night, she asked Fang Shaojian how to deal with the matter of King Ning, but Fang Shaojian said lightly that nothing happened.
This lowly slave really forgot his identity and dared to deceive her.
For such an important person as Wen Guangren, Fang Shaojian didn't reveal a single word for such a long time.
The Crown Princess led the Crown Prince down to the shabby room.
The moment Fang Shaojian saw His Highness the Crown Prince, he was clearly not surprised at all. It seems that today has been expected.
He got up, bowed and bowed, "This old slave kowtows to Your Highness."
"Free gift!"
His Royal Highness was pale, looking weak.
"Fang Shaojian, I finally saw you. Ning Wang told the Shaofu Tongcheng Wen Guangren to sell silver, Wen Aiqing has been sent to prison, what should I do about this matter? Did the queen mother tell you before she left?"
Fang Shaojian snorted, apparently already expected this.
He said: "Your Highness, please sit down. Mr. Wen is being sent to prison at this time. The only thing we need to worry about is whether he will confess to the East Palace."
"Then he will?" His Royal Highness asked nervously.
Fang Shaojian bowed and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Mr. Wen has no chance to confess to the East Palace. If the case is found on the head of King Zhao, it will never go any further."
The Crown Princess Sun asked sharply, "How do you know? Can you guarantee it? If Wen Guangren can't bear the punishment and climbs up the East Palace, will you be responsible?"
Fang Shaojian said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, empress, please don't worry. Mr. Wen has no chance to talk about the East Palace. Tonight at the latest, Mr. Wen should almost die."
"How could it be?" His Highness the Crown Prince was puzzled.
The Crown Princess Sun narrowed her eyes and stared at Fang Shaojian suspiciously.
Fang Shaojian said in a low voice: "Before the empress passed away, there were already corresponding arrangements. Wen Guangren was favored by the empress, and he knew what to do."
"Fang Shaojian, are you still unwilling to tell the truth? Did the queen mother arrange someone in the imperial prison?" the crown princess Sun asked.
Fang Shaojian only said: "Our family doesn't know the specific situation. We only know that the empress has already expected that Mr. Wen may become a drag on the East Palace, so she made arrangements early."
Hearing this, His Royal Highness was obviously relieved.
"The queen mother has no plans to spare. Since the arrangements have been made long ago, then there will be no worries."
His Highness the Crown Prince was relieved, and the Fang Shaojian said: "You can't stay here for a long time. If Fang Shaojian needs anything, just tell the Crown Princess."
"The old slave sends His Highness respectfully."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left in a hurry.
Snapped!
The Crown Princess Sun closed the door heavily, "Young Supervisor Fang, how many things are you hiding from me?"
Fang Shaojian smiled indifferently, "Why are you angry?"
"Ask knowingly."
"Everything our family does is for the sake of the empress. Just imagine, if the empress knows about Wen Guangren, how can she remain indifferent? Once the empress takes action, she will be noticed. King Ning doesn't have to be so devious He can completely use the connection between the empress and Mrs. Wen to overthrow the East Palace."
The Crown Princess Sun frowned, and did not believe Fang Shaojian's words.
Fang Shaojian lowered his eyes and smiled, and continued: "Your Majesty, do you know why King Ning didn't dare to talk about the East Palace in the court hall
Because he only suspected that Wen Guangren had something to do with the East Palace, but he couldn't find the slightest evidence.
Therefore, he could only dismount Wen Guangren and King Zhao first, and hoped that the Jinwu Guard could use severe punishment to make Wen Guangren reveal his connection with the East Palace.
Ever since King Ning dropped the money, his goal has always been the East Palace, not King Zhao. He was impatient and wanted to force the emperor to abolish His Highness the Crown Prince. "
Crown Princess Sun's brows could not be stretched, "Is King Ning so resourceful?"
Fang Shaojian smiled contemptuously, "Those bastard things that King Ning has done are just to deceive people's eyes and ears. Madam, don't be fooled by King Ning's appearance. Among the princes and princes, in our family's opinion, King Ning is the most vicious and the least important." Face. Zhao Wang still cares too much about face, so he lost to Ning Wang."
The Crown Princess Sun sneered, "According to what you said, are you hiding the truth, or is it for the sake of this Palace, for the East Palace's plans?"
Fang Shaojian bowed slightly, "It's natural. Our family has received the kindness of Empress Ruizhen Cui, and we vowed to protect everyone in the Eastern Palace. For more than a year, our family dare not slack off."
The Crown Princess Sun sneered, "Apart from Wen Guangren, is there anything else I don't know about?"
Fang Shaojian shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, don't ask again, knowing more may not be a good thing."
"Aren't you afraid that Ben Gong will be ruthless?"
Fang Shaojian smiled calmly, "Our family has long been dead, and every day we live is earned."
It's really oily and salty.
The Crown Princess Sun suddenly laughed out loud, "Young Supervisor Fang, please don't get me wrong, I was testing you just now to see how determined you are. I already know now that you are indeed thinking of Donggong wholeheartedly."
"Thank you, Madam, for understanding the painstaking efforts of this old slave."
"Take care of it well, I still have to go to His Highness to have a look."
The Crown Princess Sun came out of the shabby room and told her confidants, "Keep a close eye on Shaojian Fang, and don't allow him to step out of the room."
"Obey!"
In the shabby room, Fang Shaojian smiled contemptuously.
He drops a black stone on the chessboard.
"Most people in the world die of greed, hmph..."
His expression was stern, and his eyes became more and more crazy.
A storm is coming.
…
Mr. Gu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling extremely grateful.
Unexpectedly, King Ning's transfer of the package of silver would actually involve the sale of silver by Tong Cheng of the Shaofu.
Fortunately, he didn't delve into the matter that day, but heeded Gu Jiu's warning, and took people out of the palace without hesitation.
At this moment, Mr. Gu has a kind of honeyed self-confidence: I am so wise and powerful, promotion and fortune are just around the corner.
If Gu Jiu knew what Master Gu was thinking, he would definitely complain about it.
With Mr. Gu's rank, if he fights against the court, he will definitely not survive three episodes, and he will be killed by others.
Mr. Gu has absolutely no awareness that he won't survive three episodes.
Satisfied, he ended his official duties early and returned to the mansion.
Call Aunt Tan, Aunt Chun, hug left and right, drink and sing, so happy.
When Xie found out, he gritted his silver teeth.
Cursed loudly: "Bad maid!"
…
Concubine Ning Pei was still terrified.
"My lord, you are taking too many risks. If your majesty commits a crime, what should you do if you let the concubine live?"
King Ning didn't care, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, "What are you afraid of! This king has no plan, if you say nothing, you will be fine."
Mrs. Pei snorted, "Exchanging Guanping silver for Southwest silver, since there is a 20% profit, why didn't you exchange a little more at the beginning. The government is almost out of control."
King Ning glared at Mrs. Pei, "I have long hair but short knowledge. Is this king exchanging Guanping silver for Southwest silver for the 20% profit? If I exchange one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand taels at a time, you will be Wen Guangren." He's a fool, but he can still obediently play tricks? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Mrs. Pei was stunned for a moment, "I don't understand the affairs of the court, and if I said something wrong, please don't blame me. But there is one thing, I must say."
King Ning said casually: "Tell me, what's the matter."
Pei said loudly: "The cashier is out of money, and next month, I won't even be able to send out the servant's monthly payment."
King Ning frowned, "Is there any money left?"
Pei nodded, "It is true that there is no money."
King Ning scratched his head, "Where is my king's Juelu?"
"A large part of the prince's Juelu is grain and cloth, which cannot be spent as money."
King Ning was annoyed, "This king asked you to be the housekeeper, how did you manage it? It's just a transfer of tens of thousands of taels, and the palace has no money? Where did all the money go?"
Pei was aggrieved, "Doesn't the lord know how much the mansion is spending? No amount of money will be spent."
King Ning bared his teeth, "Family decree, Chang Shi, the steward of the accountant came to see me. This king doesn't believe it. The palace is so big that it still can't afford food."
"Is the prince going to check the accounts?" Pei asked.
King Ning snorted, "Nonsense! The palace has no money to eat, and I don't check the accounts. Is it possible that if I want to accompany you here and sigh, can I change the money? I have to ask the accountant, so much money is gone. Where did you go. Princess, are you guilty? Could it be that you embezzled the money in the treasury?"
Pei's face froze, "My lord, please don't wrong me. I haven't touched a penny of the money in the treasury."
King Ning's expression softened a little, "Since you haven't taken it, then I don't worry about it."
Pei's face was stern, full of anger.
