The turmoil at the birthday banquet seemed to be just a small episode.
But the subsequent impact is obvious.
A considerable number of the prince's original henchmen have strengthened their beliefs because of this.
Among the courtiers, there are also some conservative officials, showing goodwill to the prince.
In fact, there are many people who support not the prince, but the rules of etiquette and the righteousness.
In the eyes of these people, although the crown prince has been cut off, he is still the orthodox royal family in name, and the grandson is also certified by the court.
Since it is the orthodoxy, it is worthy of support.
To put it bluntly, this is the villain in the ancient costume TV series who shouted that "the ancestors must not be taken lightly".
As the core figure among the villains, Sun Shaozong has naturally attracted much attention recently.
On the 18th of October, Emperor Guangde issued a central decree, commending his aspirations, blaming his actions, and finally punishing his merits and demerits for half a year in order to observe the aftermath.
That night, the prince held a banquet to entertain Sun Shaozong with great fanfare. In addition to the academician of the Hanlin Academy, Sun Tao, a guest of the prince, and Zhao Guojiu, the queen's own younger brother, there were also several important officials in the court.
One of the highest-ranking officials surprised Sun Shaozong.
This person, Ge Yin, was Zhao Rongheng, the censor-in-chief of the Right Capital, who was the deputy commander-in-chief when he investigated the Longgen case.
At the beginning, Zhao Rongheng had intended to obstruct the birth of the 'grand grandson'.
Who would have thought that it had only been two years since Mr. Zhao had become a core member of the crown prince, and he was also the one with the highest status.
After all, this fellow is a dignified second-rank official leader. In terms of authority, he is on the same level as the Six Books, and even slightly exceeds it in some aspects.
Of course, in terms of being trusted by the Crown Prince, he is still slightly inferior to Sun Shaozong.
In fact, after Sun Shaozong pondered, the reason why this man came to join him was already traceable.
After all, he is a recognized hard-core ally of King Beijing, and it is even said that King Beijing was actually born from an affair with the eldest princess.
King Beijing had already fallen to the prince two years ago, so it is not surprising that Zhao Rongheng would be put under the prince's account.
October nineteen.
Sun Shaozong went to the yamen the first day after the ban was lifted.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the official office, he got an unexpected news: according to Wei Yi's intention, the case of Yang Kui's poisoning of Lu Mingsi has been officially declared closed.
This is really weird.
Before that, Sun Shaozong had instructed Tang Weishan and others to list evidence of Yang Kui's corruption on a table, and to apply for a copy of his property and temporarily restrict the freedom of his family.
Wei Yi also knew this.
It stands to reason that this house raid has not yet been approved. No matter how eager Wei Yi is to learn about the case so that he can ask for money from the Ministry of Households, he should wait until the court's decree is issued.
Besides, after all, this case was won by Sun Shaozong, and the case was declared closed without saying hello, and it did not conform to normal procedures.
This confused approach can no longer be said to be muddled, and Sun Shaozong even suspected that he was deliberately covering up the mastermind behind the scenes.
but…
Although Wei Yi lacked the ability to do things, he also lacked the motivation he should have.
But he is also an old fritter in the officialdom. If he really intends to cover up the mastermind behind Yang Kui, he should choose a more concealed way instead of being so straightforward.
Could there be any hidden secrets in it
Think again.
After all, Sun Shaozong couldn't ignore this matter, so he simply found Wei Yi and directly asked him why he acted like this.
Wei Yi, however, refused to say it outright, but only in a shadowy manner, implying that this matter came from above, not that he acted arbitrarily.
When Sun Shaozong heard the words, he immediately remembered that on the day of the birthday banquet, the emperor had specially found himself and learned all the details of his confrontation with Zhou Chang.
Could it be that…
Is there anything else behind Zhou Chang
And the people involved, even the emperor is afraid
There is doubt in my heart, but it is inconvenient to trace it clearly.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong decided to find an opportunity to inquire with Yu Qian, to see what government affairs Zhou Chang was in charge of on weekdays, and had connections with those high-ranking officials in the DPRK.
Of course, it certainly won't happen today.
Jia She, the grandfather of the Rongguo Mansion, posted a message asking Sun Shaozong to come to the banquet in the evening.
According to Sun Shaozong's speculation, 80% of it came from Jia Yucun's instigation, and the purpose was still for the stone nerd case.
At the beginning, Sun Shaozong set the policy of both sides, and he was also preparing for the Rongguo Mansion to share his life with him.
As a result, Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian, and the others didn't talk about it. When Jia She encountered trouble, he didn't hesitate to find him.
But to be honest, if it wasn't for Jia Yingchun's face, Sun Shaozong really didn't want to pay attention to such old scoundrels.
But since he slept with someone else's daughter, he always had to give the cheap old husband some face.
…
But he said that after the whole day, Sun Shaozong managed to deal with the owed documents with great difficulty - basically they were trivial matters, which should have been handled by Liu Xianglian, but this guy is helping Jiang Yuhan to prepare for the troupe, and he had the cheek to ask for ten days. long vacation.
It seems that it is necessary to hire another reliable teacher.
But Sun Shaozong is ready to wait and see.
Sun Chengye is going to participate in the Spring Festival again in the new year. If he still fails the exam this time, then it is natural that it is better to use the raw materials than the skilled ones. It is the most suitable for him to bring Liu Xianglian.
Seeing the evening.
When Sun Shaozong came out of the Sanya, he saw that a carriage from the Rongguo Mansion had been waiting outside.
At first, Sun Shaozong thought that Jia Lian had arrived.
It was later discovered that after Jia Baoyu, who had been away for a few days, after the birthday banquet, this kid seemed to be grounded at home, and even Jiang Yuhan could not contact him.
Seeing Jia Baoyu, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but become curious and asked him why he had a conflict with Zhao Guojie that day.
"Second brother has wronged me."
Jia Baoyu looked aggrieved: "When the uncle and my master were forced to go to Zhao's house to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, it's not like I haven't seen it before, so why would there be another conflict with him?"
Listen to what this kid has to say.
But it turned out that he was invited by the emperor to participate in the birthday banquet that day, and he was not very happy, but felt very troublesome.
The only thing that attracted him was that he could see Jia Yuanchun—in the end, when he arrived at the birthday banquet, he only glanced a few times from a distance, and couldn't catch a word at all.
Before leaving, Mrs. Wang and Mother Jia naturally gave some advice.
Therefore, after entering the palace, Jia Baoyu was rarely cautious in his words and deeds, and even seemed a little dull in front of the emperor.
But somehow, Uncle Zhao came out, sneering at Jia Baoyu regardless of being in front of the emperor.
Jia Baoyu didn't retort at all, but he was kicked out of Wenzhao Pavilion together with him.
That's not all, that Zhao Guojiu also took his anger on him because of this.
"Second brother, do you think this person is sick?"
Speaking of this, Jia Baoyu said indignantly: "My sister has just been pregnant, who knows whether she is pregnant with a princess or a prince? If he wants to plan ahead, he can learn from the second brother and supervise the prince's progress - this mad dog also seems to be Random bites, what's the matter?"
More than Uncle Zhao.
This court swears that Jia Yuanchun will give birth to a child, but there are many people.
Thinking back to the day when I saw Taoist priests and alchemists sitting in the front ranks of the civil and military officials, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation and hatred of the same enemy, Sun Shaozong really didn't know whether they looked down on alchemists or looked down on alchemists too much.
The book does not go into details.
The two chatted all the way, and when they arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, something unexpected went wrong—Jia She was not at home!
The guests have arrived, and the one who treats them is not at home, and I really don't know how he arranged it.
In addition, Jia Lian is now sitting on the back and waiting for 'Master' Jiang Yuhan, and is also not at home.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong could only follow Jia Baoyu and go to his Yihong Courtyard to kill time.
"Second brother, sit wherever you want."
As he greeted Sun Shaozong, Jia Baoyu hurriedly ordered the raiders to take out the tribute tea given by Jia Yuanchun, and did not forget to say to the uncle Jia She: "Second brother, please don't mind, the uncle has been waiting at home all the time, I heard that. It was Brother Cong who caused trouble outside, and the other party asked the uncle to deal with it by name, so he slowed down the second brother."
Is this Rongguo Mansion not good in Feng Shui
Otherwise, how can weasels lay down mice, and a litter is not as good as a litter
When Jia Cong was a child, he looked restless. I heard that he has become more and more close to Jia Huanzhang recently, and what he can do is not known.
But then again, Jia She didn't seem to treat this concubine very much in the past.
But now, when he heard that he was detained, he hurriedly left his business and rushed over to save the scene
"this… "
Jia Baoyu heard Sun Shaozong ask about this, but he felt a little hesitant, and finally came up with a vague statement: "As you get older, you will pay more attention to children."
The so-called 'children' are probably not Jia Lian and Jia Cong.
Rather, it refers to the offspring in the next generation.
Thinking about how Jia Lian had started to make up his mind before, he wanted to 'borrow' his son - and even cost Lin Hongyu's life - obviously he had already despaired of this matter.
It is estimated that Jia She also thinks the same, so he pays attention to Jia Cong, and hopes that this son-in-law will be able to carry on the lineage for the long house.
As the two were talking, a man from the other side came in again, and gave Sun Shaozong apologetic salute before reporting: "My aunt is rushing this way right now, and she said it was good to get a few new pieces of clothes to make. Let's see if we like it."
Aunt Xue is coming over
Sun Shaozong stood up immediately and was about to retreat.
After all, before, Li Wan tried to pimp, and although Sun Shaozong sternly rejected it, it would inevitably be embarrassing to meet again.
Of course, even if there was no such thing, the embarrassment in the jungle at the beginning was enough to embarrass the two of them.
Who would have guessed that as soon as he made a move here, the outside courtyard was already noisy.
He picked up the curtain and looked out, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, why did the concubine come so quickly?"
