The happy life of a prodigal

All the civil and military officials cheered up, with solemn expressions on their faces.

Immediately, His Royal Highness, wearing a dragon robe with a four-clawed golden dragon, walked out slowly.

The eye sockets were red, obviously extremely sad.

Where does this sorrow come from?

You must know that there are three people who are closest to His Highness the Crown Prince, and there is no doubt that the closest one is naturally Concubine Shu... This is human nature.

Next, it is His Majesty, and then there is An Guogong.

Of course, His Royal Highness and Princess Anle are also good friends, but most people automatically ignore Princess Anle.

To make His Royal Highness so sad, it means that something happened to these three. After all, they are children and need to rely on others.

These three are the reliance of His Royal Highness... An Guogong did not show up, the probability is the same as the letter he received in the morning.

Is His Highness the Crown Prince grieving for his master?

That letter also said one more thing, even more shocking to civil and military officials than An Guogong's assassination.

That is His Majesty's death!

Of course, the civil and military officials had already prepared for this point when they participated in the ceremony for the appointment of the crown prince, and it seems to be true now.

From this point of view, there is a high probability that what the letter said is true!

His Majesty is also dead!

When the civil and military officials thought of this, they couldn't help feeling sad in their hearts.

After the grief, the look in the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince was also a little more sympathetic.

In the final analysis, His Royal Highness is still just a child. In just a few days, after encountering such a major change, it is already extremely difficult for him to come to the early court.

In just a few days, the loss of a father and a master at the same time was unbearable for anyone, let alone a child.

But... Sometimes, sympathy is sympathy, but what should be done cannot be merciless!

Because it is the supervisor of the country, not the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince undoubtedly cannot sit on the dragon chair.

At this moment, a smaller chair was placed beside the dragon chair.

The prince sat on this small chair.

After taking his seat, according to the usual practice, the eunuch next to him shouted in a sharp voice: "There is something to play! There is nothing to retreat!"

The voice fell, and a person stood up.

"I have something to announce!"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and the expression on their faces did not change at all. Obviously, they were not at all surprised by this person's appearance.

This person is the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whose surname is Shi.

"Master Shi, please tell me."

The prince's voice was a little hoarse, which seemed to be caused by excessive sadness.

After hearing this, everyone believed in the contents of the letter again.

How could he be so sad if he hadn't suffered the loss of his father and teacher at the same time?

What's more, the three pavilion elders kept solemn expressions from beginning to end, without saying a word, obviously knowing that a huge change had taken place in the palace.

"His Royal Highness, at the court today, it stands to reason that I shouldn't talk about this matter, but because the matter is too urgent, I have to say..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and before he could continue, he heard the hoarse voice of His Highness the Crown Prince.

"There is not much time in the early court, and there are so many major events in the world. Don't say these words in the future, just talk about the matter."

After finishing speaking, his eyes swept over everyone present, and there was no dodge in the slightest.

All civil and military officials were startled when they heard this and saw this scene.

Even the three elders couldn't help but look at the prince one more time.

A short sentence, but it represents a lot.

The most important thing is to directly weaken the aura of Youdu Yushi and directly control the initiative of discourse.

However, these words are not abrupt in the slightest, but it seems that His Royal Highness is very diligent.

Is this... really just an 11-year-old kid?

Everyone lowered their heads, their eyes flickered, and they each began to think.

Youdu Censor's face also darkened a little, and then continued: "What His Highness taught is that I know I was wrong... A few days ago, Zuodu Censor He Wenlin He left the mansion, and then there was no news. , until now, no one knows where Mr. He went.

The minister asked the police from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to search, but they only got clues that someone had seen Mr. He in the south of the city.

Your Majesty, the south of the city is now the most prosperous place in Kyoto Prefecture. The police from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the sixteen guards of the pro-army often send people to patrol the south of the city.

If Mr. He is still in the south of the city, he must be able to find it, so I speculated that Mr. He was coerced out of the capital! "

"You mean, Mr. He disappeared. The disappearance was caused by someone else...Why can't Mr. He leave by himself? Did he leave a letter? Why did he leave the mansion that day? Who are you meeting? What is your purpose? Or what are you doing?

Zuodu Yushi is the heavenly official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also plays the role of supervising all officials. I think, you adults should know how to protect yourself, right? "

A few questions made Youdu Yushi startled.

In the past few days, he was busy looking for He Wenlin, so he had naturally thought about these questions.

However, there are some things that are not easy to say in front of civil and military officials.

For example, on that day, if there is no mistake, Mr. He was going to a mansion in the corner of the city wall in the south of the city.

As for where to go and what to do...

After their investigation during this period of time, they can also guess a general idea, nothing more than discussing how to deal with An Guogong.

But can these words be said?

Obviously not.

Yushi Youdu didn't hesitate, and replied: "If you go back to His Royal Highness, Mr. He will go to Zhuxuanzhai in the south of the city to buy some books that day..."

The first thousand and 150 five chapters framed

After saying this, let alone the crown prince and the three old elders, other people started discussing in a low voice.

The majestic Zuodu censor wants to read a book, but he has to go to the south of the city to buy it in person?

Isn't this a joke!

This reason is too far-fetched!

Youdu Yushi obviously knew that his words would not convince the public, and added another sentence: "In addition, during the ceremony, Mr. He Qiandao invited Mr. He Wenlin to a family banquet, and it was at the Drunken Flower Pavilion. Lord He Wenlin also went to the appointment along the way."

The voice fell, and the discussion became quieter.

That's reasonable.

He Qiandao and He Wenlin are cousins, and they are both speech officials. There is nothing wrong with getting closer in private, it's human nature.

"Where is Master He Qiandao?"

Zhao Hao looked at His Highness.

One person stood up: "Your Highness."

Zhao Hao looked at him and asked, "Master He Qiandao, is what Master Shi said true?"

He Qiandao nodded: "It's true."

"Why did you invite Master He Wenlin? What did you say at the banquet?" Zhao Hao asked.

He Qiandao didn't hesitate, and replied: "If you go back to His Highness, it's just a family banquet, and the conversation is all about household matters. There is really nothing to say."

It's normal for two cousins ​​to chat about household chores.

If the prince insisted on asking the bottom line, it would seem a little inconsiderate to the officials.

After all, although the civil and military officials are to be supervised by the officials, the people, and the emperor, they still have to live their own lives.

If you can't do anything, I'll tell you as soon as you ask.

What's more, there is really nothing to say.

Zhao Hao thought for a while, then asked again: "When Master He Wenlin went out, was there anything unusual?"

He Qiandao shook his head: "No."

"This is weird." Zhao Hao said to himself: "Since there is no abnormality, and it is in the most prosperous southern part of the city, why does a good-looking person suddenly disappear?"

After a pause, he looked at Master Shi, the censor of the right capital, and said, "Master Shi, how difficult would it be to rob a person in a bustling street in the south of the city?"

Youdu Yushi said leisurely: "It may be difficult, or it may be very simple."

After the voice fell, the entire Fengtian Hall was silent.

The civil and military officials all lowered their heads, apparently aware of something.

Quite a number of Wu Xun looked at Youdu Yushi with chills in their eyes.

Youdu Yushi seemed not aware of it, and said: "In other words, it is difficult for some people, but it is easy for some people."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Hao also realized what this guy was going to say in his heart, but he still pretended not to understand, and asked curiously.

Youdu Yushi said: "Although the south of the city is prosperous, there are intricate relationships behind this prosperity. These relationships are layered on top of each other, and they all extend from one place."

"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. The prosperity in the south of the city comes from many shops. Why are there layers upon layers of shops? Tell me about it." Zhao Hao said.

At this time, the British Duke suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Highness, I think that the most important thing now is not to chat about these things, but to find Mr. He as soon as possible! According to Mr. Shi, Mr. He should be facing life and death now." For every quarter of an hour of delay, the possibility of Master He encountering an accident will increase by one point!"

Hearing this, Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Although that's what I said, it's not just this day that Mr. He disappeared. After so many years of searching, he couldn't find it. This has already explained some problems. Blind searching It's of no use at all."

"Since we want to search, we must first sort out everything. How to search is the key!"

After finishing speaking, he looked to Yushi Youdu and said, "Let's talk, how is it so complicated, how is it layered on top of each other?"

Youdu Yushi glanced at the British Duke, and said solemnly: "Your Highness is right, the prosperity in the south of the city comes from various shops, and these shops seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, their shopkeepers, or It's the owner, who used to be the steward of An Guogong's mansion!

There are even some people who used to be just small servants in the Duke of Anguo's mansion, who couldn't even read and write. The reason why they were able to open shops in such a prosperous place in the south of the city was all thanks to Duke Anguo.

Therefore, I can assure you that no one in the entire Kyoto Prefecture can compare to Duke Anguo in terms of familiarity with and control over the south of the city! "

See you in the picture!

Finally, An Guogong was mentioned!

The civil servants all lowered their heads and said nothing.

They are all aware of the grievances between the officials and An Guogong.

Now that An Guogong is gone, these officials must be the first to jump out, the reason is very simple, strike while the iron is hot.

In the future, His Highness's wings will be full.

It will be difficult to convict Duke An again!

On the other side, the warriors are all glaring... An Guogong's bones are not cold yet, these guys are like vultures, they are going to eat An Guogong's flesh and blood!How vicious these people are!

In the hall, Zhao Hao frowned when he heard these words, looked at Youdu Yushi, and his voice became colder: "What Lord Shi wants to say, just say it, why go around in circles like this...You just want to say, Master He was kidnapped by Duke An? But what does this mean?"

Youdu Yushi did not show the slightest fear, looked up at Zhao Hao, and said seriously: "I am just guessing, after all, the south of the city is the place of An Guogong, and some time ago, Mr. He had some conflicts with An Guogong.

With An Guogong's temperament, he must be unwilling to do so. During this period of time, An Guogong beat up his lord in the street, and not many people in the entire Kyoto Prefecture would find it strange, so I..."

"Enough!" Zhao Hao raised his voice, and there was a deep chill in his hoarse tone.

The Youdu censor's few short words, but he didn't know how many times he attacked the master.

First of all, the sentence that the south of the city is the place of An Guogong means that his heart can be punished!

Under the whole world, is it not the king's land, and the coast of leading the land is not the king's ministers.

What does it mean that the south of the city is the place of An Guogong?

This is framed!

Later, he mentioned the conflict between An Guogong and Master He, but he wanted to explain that Master had a motive for doing this.

Finally, mentioning An Guogong's character is to criticize the master's form for not following common sense.

Those who don't know can almost be sure when they hear these words.
