At night, people were quiet, and there were buildings in Ning's palace.
"Is there something incredible, do I have to let me know about it next year?"
He was wearing a bright yellow bedclothes, and the colored crown had also been removed, revealing the mottled silver threads on top of his head.
Father Gao followed him out, waited for him to take a seat, waved his hand to let the palace maid and others retreat.
Several important officials in the central government suddenly came to see you in the next year, and it was late at night. There must be something important that people cannot hear.
When Emperor Ning sat down at the imperial case, he raised his eyes and looked down. Suddenly, he felt that the few people standing underneath were very familiar. He had only recently summoned him.
"Ji Daogong, Pei Zheng, Lin Yi?"
Ji Daogong is the Yushi Taidu Yushi, vocational school rectifies Baisi, defends wrongs, and admires all Taoists.
Pei Zheng is Dali Temple Secretary, in charge of prison and case trials, Lin Yi is Dali Temple Shaoqing, his deputy.
Why did they come together
Ningdi waved his hand and motioned everyone to sit down and talk.
It must not be a trivial matter that the two current second-rank masters and one third-rank master came here missing the night.
Gao Gonggong was very eye-catching and ordered people to serve tea. Emperor Ning looked at Pei Zheng, "I told you about the assassination of Gu Hou Shizi and handed it over to Dali Temple for review. Your investigation office in Dali Temple is a good hand in investigating the case. , Is there a result?"
Pei Zheng got up and arched his hands and said: "The minister came here at night precisely for this case. Your Majesty, the Investigation Department is in charge of Lin Shaoqing. He has found some clues, but this clue involves higher-level officials, and I dare not continue the investigation without authorization. The officials of North Korea and China heard that impeachment was always a matter of Yushitai, so the minister took the liberty to invite Mr. Ji."
Ji Daogong is the chief official of Yushitai, who is over sixty years old, and is a very prestigious former veteran in the court.
Because of his prestige, he has no conclusive evidence of the impeachment of hundreds of officials, and he has always refused to export it lightly.
Since Pei Zheng had to move him, he naturally had some grasp of it.
Ning Di looked at Lin Yi, "Lin Shaoqing, tell me, what did you find?"
Lin Yi said: "My Majesty, the attack on Hou Hou Shizi occurred in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the investigation began in the second half of the twelfth lunar month. At that time, all the government agencies were preparing to seal the government and start to rest. As usual, the prefectures Apart from purchasing new year goods, there should be no other major actions. But the next official found out that there was a large-scale personnel transfer in the Xiangfu at that time."
"Xiangfu?"
Emperor Ning frowned, "What does Xiangfu mobilize personnel for? What is the scale of what you call large-scale?"
Lin Yiyi: "Gu Houye has always acted in a low-key manner. He seldom dispatched soldiers. He even sent only forty soldiers to escort the Su family’s mother and daughter back to Jinling. But to deal with these forty Gu’s soldiers, at least Double the elite players have the chance to win. The personnel transferred by the Xiangfu are three times as large. According to the news from Changzhou Futai, the assassin's body he collected under the cliff was just right."
Three times, that is more than one hundred people.
The Guhou Mansion escorted the female family members for such a major event, and only forty people were used. What about the Xiangfu Mansion that needed more than one hundred people
He has never heard Yin Yan mention that it is impossible for more than a hundred people to buy new year goods
After a moment of silence, Emperor Ning stroked his beard, "This matter involves the prime minister of the dynasty, so he can't be sloppy. If it's just a match in number, it can't be concluded that the prime minister Yin did it?"
Lin Yi hurriedly said: "That's true. But Prime Minister Yin is a first-grade official, and Weichen has no right to investigate this case with him, but can only report it to your Majesty for handling."
In other words, it is only suspected of Xiangfu at present, and cannot be determined yet.
Ning Di looked better, and then looked at Ji Daogong, "Just because of such a little suspicion, I invited Mr. Ji to miss the night. You two juniors are too rude."
Ji Daogong stood up with the back of his chair, his rickety waist slightly bent, "Your Majesty does not need to blame the two adults, it is the old minister himself who has something to do. This matter has a lot to do with what the two adults said, so I came together. Old minister. To impeach Prime Minister Yin, secretly communicate with the envoys of Xikun, with the intention of harming my Dongling Sheji!"
Patter.
Ningdi shook his hand, and the lid on the blue and white tea cup was faltering and almost fell to the ground.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold on, concealing his gaffe.
"Secretly dealing with the envoy of Xikun? How did the elder know about this?"
Ji Daogong looked at Lin Yi, the latter nodded slightly, and then said: "Returning to your Majesty, in fact, after Gu Hou Shizi was attacked, the minister first suspected the people of Xikun. Gu's army was guarding the land of Dongling at the border, if it weren't for the Gu's army. The Xikun people may have invaded our country long ago and disturbed our people. So the ministers sent people to monitor the envoys in the post house and found that they did not have this manpower to adjust. Fortunately, there was an unexpected gain."
"The minister's people discovered that the poison in Gu Hou Shizi's party was the secret poison of Miao Village unique to Xikun."
The manpower of Xiangfu and the poison of Xikun's envoys were combined into one to assassinate Gu Shubai, and then the fact that Xiangfu and Xikun's envoys had secretly communicated.
Now it's the scene.
Ji Daogong said again: "Same as the reason why Dali Temple cannot continue to investigate, Prime Minister Yin is a first-rank senior officer higher than the old minister, and the envoy of Xikun has a special status. Both identities are important. The minister cannot easily be impeached in the court. Take advantage of the night to report to your Majesty."
Emperor Ning thoroughly understood their intentions, "It seems that this matter, I still have to invite Prime Minister Yin and the envoys of Xikun to come, and make it clear in person?"
The three of them bowed their hands tacitly, "Please also your Majesty's permission."
…
The next day is the fifteenth of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival.
The central government has not yet opened the seal, the courtiers are still resting, and lanterns of various colors are hung in the residences.
When the lantern is lit up at night, it will look more beautiful than in daytime.
Yin Jizheng took a walk around the mansion, feeling dull, "Why are the lanterns of this year old, the same as last year? Don't we even have money to buy lanterns in Xiangfu?"
The Xiangfu family has a big business, and naturally it is not that there is no money to buy a lamp. This is obviously to blame the subordinates for ineffectiveness.
The steward who was instructing the people to hang up the lights stepped forward and bowed in panic, "The young lady knows something, she should have bought a new light. But the eldest son has no time to take care of the affairs of the Fuzhong these few days. Take out the old lamp."
There was no mistress in the Xiangfu, and the Yinyan dynasty was busy with official duties. The Yiying family affairs in the Xiangfu were originally taken care of by Yin Shuo.
In the past few days, for some reason, Yin Shuo has always been shut in the outer study room sullenly.
After a few times, the people underneath did not dare to bother him again.
The steward said: "If the lady doesn't like these old lamps, you can talk to the old man. As long as he approves the right cards, he can go out of the house to buy new lamps immediately."
Knowing that Yin Shuo is in anger, he still wants himself to be in trouble, is he trying to harm himself
Yin Jizheng gave him a blank look, no longer in the mood to look at the lights, and led the maids and women back to her yard.
Behind her, the manager shook his head slightly, with a faint smile of contempt at the corner of her mouth.
"Hurry up, hang them up everywhere in the Fuzhong. Be sure to hang them up before dark."
Rarely, Yin Yan was not bored in the outer study room, but did not rest in the upper room, but went to the Fuzhong ancestral hall alone.
Xiang Mansion is not like Guhou Mansion, Ding Xingwang, there are not many tablets on the seat, the first one belongs to his original wife Yang, and there are several Yin family ancestors behind.
Yin Yan's generation is a single pass, and I don't want to be the only son of Yin Shuo's generation, so I barely have a Yin Ji to make up for the regret.
"The Yin family of Dongling has been loyal to the king for four generations. The four generations are among the three men and five people. Yin Yanxin is among them, and he has been working hard for half his life, but he has not been able to restore the glory of his ancestors. The body of a military minister is so prestigious. Dongling people only know the general, but not the prime minister. Maybe soon, even the emperor will not be known."
At the end of his speech, his voice became lower and lower, and he picked up three sticks of incense and knelt on the futon, respectfully worshiped three times, and inserted the incense in his hand in front of the spiritual card.
"The unworthy descendant Yin Yan is incompetent and can't prevent Gu Huai from pouring the right of Jiang into the field. Fortunately, there is still Yin Shuo at his knees. If I can't do it, let him do it..."
"master."
Outside the courtyard, the servants of the door hurried over, standing outside the ancestral hall, bowing and saluting.
"What's the hurry?"
"Your Majesty has passed the decree and ordered the master to enter the palace immediately, without error!"
Those eyes that were as sharp as eagles and falcons did not know when they became old and muddy, and Yin Yan closed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he slowly stood up, raising his hands above his head to straighten the purple gold crown on his head.
"Prepare a cart and enter the palace immediately!"
