The happy life of a prodigal

Hey......

Youdu Yushi sighed, and could only secretly memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, hoping to give himself some motivation to continue.

Then, in just a moment, he couldn't even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and felt that his eyes were staring.

Finally, his willpower could no longer support him, and he was about to fall to the ground.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

After Youdu Yushi heard this, for some reason, he suddenly regained his energy and straightened his back all of a sudden.

The footsteps were still approaching gradually.

From far to near.

All the people kneeling in Fengtian Hall cheered up when they heard the voice.

Many people had expressions of hope on their faces.

Your Highness is finally back!

Your Highness is finally back!

They were right, it was Prince Zhao Hao who returned to Fengtian Hall.

Standing in front of everyone, Zhao Hao said slowly, "How do you feel, my lords?"

"..."

No one spoke.

After a while, the Youdu Yushi said in a hoarse voice: "I have knelt on the ground for more than an hour, and I only think about one thing in my heart."

Zhao Hao looked at him: "Oh? Master Shi is thinking about something, tell me about it."

Yushi Youdu looked up at Zhao Hao and said, "I am thinking about the safety of Mr. He!"

These words surprised Zhao Hao a little.

I thought that he would take this opportunity to attack himself and say something like "I still remember what happened when Your Majesty entered the East Palace...", but he didn't expect that he would actually mention He Wenlin.

It can be seen from this that Master Shi really cares about Master He Wenlin.

It stands to reason that although the censors of the left and right are both second-rank, one is the left and the other is the right. After all, the censor of the left capital is higher than the censor of the right.

Now that He Wenlin is gone, the Zuodu Censor's position is vacant. Isn't it a matter of course that Youdu Censor will take over?

This Master Shi has never thought about this, and he still spares no effort to save He Wenlin, but he can barely be regarded as a loyal person.

Zhao Hao thought so.

However, if his father, Emperor Chu, were here, what he would see would be a different picture.

In the eyes of Zhao Hao, the "loyal man" is in the eyes of his father Chu Huang, the four words are "to seek fame and reputation".

However, this is nothing, since ancient times, the most famous person is the speaker.

Because this is the foundation of their ability to stand in the world.

If a speech official has a bad reputation, what qualifications does he have to supervise all officials?

The problem is that this guy is not only fishing for fame, but also making trouble.

At this time, he suddenly stood up and confronted His Highness the Crown Prince. On the surface, he was standing up for He Wenlin, but in reality?

But it deliberately angered His Royal Highness, making this matter even more anxious.

As a result, in some people's eyes, it was Youdu Yushi who spared no effort to save Lord He Wenlin, but failed in the end.

Not only did he gain fame, but he also gained the position of Zuodu Censor. It really kills two birds with one stone!

Zhao Hao didn't expect so much. He took a look at the Youdu Yushi who was kneeling on the ground, and said calmly: "If this is the case, then Master Shi doesn't have to kneel."

When Youdu Yushi heard this, he was slightly taken aback, not understanding what it meant.

What do you mean no need to kneel?

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed to his request and allowed the search of Duke Anguo's mansion!

If that's the case...wouldn't he become the No.1 against An Guogong!

For two full years, all the enemies of Lord An have not had a good end!

It is even more that no one dares to disobey Duke An!

However, today, I actually got His Highness to agree to search Duke Ango's mansion, what a victory this is!

If this matter gets out, then I will no longer be the head of the officials, but the head of all the officials, and my reputation will be the best in the world, and I will join the cabinet... just around the corner!

Youdu Yushi was thinking about it, and suddenly heard His Highness the Crown Prince say: "He Wenlin, Lord He has found it."

"what?"

When Youdu Yushi heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, then he was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Hao with an expression of disbelief.

Mr. He found it! ?

This...how is this possible?

For so many years, whether it is the arresters of the Kyoto Prefecture or the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they have almost turned the Kyoto Prefecture upside down. That's it, no clues have been found. Why did the Crown Prince go out in just over an hour? just found it?

Moreover, whether the discovery has been found, whether the person is alive or dead, and who is the mastermind behind it, has the investigation been clear?

The most important thing is whether this matter has anything to do with Mr. An. If it doesn't, according to common sense, there is no problem, but now it cannot be deduced by common sense.

You must know that in the early court just now, I and my speech officers had a quarrel with Wu Xun and the military officers.

If this matter has nothing to do with An Guogong, those military officers and military officers will definitely target themselves.

And His Highness is An Guogong's apprentice, so he will definitely stand up for An Guogong!

What the final outcome is like, you can know without even thinking about it!

Thinking of this, Youdu Yushi turned pale and looked at Zhao Hao.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard His Highness the Crown Prince say: "What's wrong with Mr. Shi? Why does he seem a little unhappy? Could it be that Mr. He found it and made Mr. Shi unhappy?"

Saying this basically confirmed that He Wenlin was still alive.

This time, Youdu Yushi's heart became even colder.

Undoubtedly, from his point of view, the dead He Wenlin was more useful than the living He Wenlin.

He forced a smile, and said in a trembling voice, "How... how...Your Highness, where did you find Mr. He?"

Chapter 160 Do you two recognize each other?

Looking at Youdu Yushi, Zhao Hao suddenly showed an innocent smile on his immature face, and said, "Master Shi might as well make a guess."

Seeing this scene, Youdu Yushi immediately understood in his heart...the disappearance of Mr. He must have nothing to do with An Guogong.

Thinking of this, he naturally felt even more uncomfortable.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Shouldn't it be in the south of the city?"

Zhao Hao looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Actually, it is indeed in the south of the city, and it is indeed held hostage!"

Speaking of this, he paused, and said again: "And this kidnapper has a very close relationship with several adults here, you may wish to guess, who is this person?"

"This......"

"Besides An Guogong, who else would hold this Lord He Wenlin hostage, is he dead?"

"Exactly, besides An Guogong, who else would do that."

"Hearing what His Highness means, it must not be An Guogong. See how happy His Highness is smiling."

"It's not An Guogong, who is it..."

The courtiers kneeling on the ground looked at each other, each one full of doubts.

Obviously, they did not know who was holding Master He Wenlin He hostage.

After all, Mr. He is the censor of Zuodu, the heavenly official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the head of the speech officer. Anyone knows what consequences will be caused if Mr. He is touched.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that only An Guogong can do such a thing unscrupulously, right?

The officials thought so.

However, Zhao Hao suddenly walked up to one of them, looked down at him, and said, "Master He thinks, who is Master He Wenlin being held hostage by?"

"This..." He Qiandao wiped his cold sweat involuntarily, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I don't know."

Zhao Hao smiled, walked up to another person, looked at him, and asked, "Where is this lord? Do you know?"

"Chen... I don't know either."

The man's voice trembled a little too.

I asked two people in succession.

One is Mr. He's cousin, who is given all the etiquette.

The other is Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with the Ministry of Rites?

Although the Ritual Department is under the General Administration Department, it has a very close relationship with the Ministry of Rites.

In addition, the Ministry of Rites is hostile to An Guogong from the beginning to the end.

Back then, the banquet at Prince Ning's Mansion caused an enmity between Duke Anguo's Mansion and the Ministry of Rites, which has not been resolved until today.

Could it be that this incident was really done by the Ministry of Rites, and then they wanted to put the blame on An Guogong?

Where did they get such courage?

And... this He Qiandao is He Wenlin's cousin, could it be that he is so ruthless?Even his cousin can do it?

Everyone started talking in low voices.

At this time, Zhao Hao's voice sounded again.

"The two adults really don't know, or are they pretending not to know, can the two adults tell me who you met a while ago?"

After the words fell, both of them broke out in cold sweat.

They faintly sensed that His Royal Highness seemed to know something.

However, they still have a fluke mentality.

After all, His Royal Highness King Ning suddenly appeared. This kind of thing is hard for them to accept, let alone other people?

Perhaps, His Royal Highness just found some clues from the secret agent, and deliberately used them to scare himself?

The two knelt on the ground, wiped off their cold sweat, and said, "I have been staying in the capital, and I haven't seen anyone."

"Oh?" Zhao Hao frowned, and said, "Have you two seen the traitor Zhao Ze?"

Zhao Ze......

Everyone was startled when they heard the name, and thought it sounded familiar, but they couldn't remember whose name it was for a while.

After being stunned for a moment, in a trance, I suddenly realized, isn't this the name of His Highness King Ning?

No, now it should be said to be the rebel King Ning.

After two years, King Ning reappeared?

Everyone subconsciously looked at He Qiandao and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

If so, everything makes sense.

Although it has been two years, King Ning has been in control of the Ministry of Rites for more than ten years, so how could it be smoothed over in just two years?

In addition, the direct reason why King Ning rebelled back then was because he was accused of fornicating with the Begging Yan Department, and the evidence of this crime was presented by An Guogong.

Although this matter did not spread to the whole city, all civil and military officials knew about it.

If His Majesty did not punish King Ning, it meant that King Ning was directly cut off from becoming the crown prince.

It is precisely because of this that King Ning chose the risky way of rebellion in a fit of anger.

However, this is also true, the person King Ning hates the most must be Duke An!

In this way, everything can be matched.
