Prostitution

Chapter 66

Xie Wancheng, who was chattering and shaking the oars for a long time, watched Lian Qi leave in a hurry, and not long after, he saw Wen and Wu Qu walking out of the palace.

In the end, it was heart and lung insufficiency, and the death of the emperor of a country did not seem to affect Wen Qu's mood.

When he got back to Diancui Tower, he looked around and saw that other shops were busy hanging up white cloth and changing into plain clothes.

Xie Wancheng was free, so he and Wu Qu quietly hid in the corner of the second floor and whispered.

Firstly, Xie Wancheng didn't know much about sign language, and secondly, in case Wen Qu went upstairs suddenly, Wu Qu dipped his fingertips in water and wrote a line on the table.

The prince's birthday is next month, the master intends to act on that day, and he will hold the prince.

Xie Wancheng's eyes sparkled, he had waited long enough for this day, but Wu Qu dropped his words again.

The death of the emperor means the succession of the new emperor. Since ancient times, the new emperor's ascension to the throne will inevitably amnesty the world and win the hearts of the people in the name of benevolence. Wen Wuyu asked them to wait and see what happened at the last moment, and act according to the plan if something unexpected happened.

The river wind blew, and the water characters on the table faded away, leaving no trace.

Now there are many rumors among the people in the capital, saying that the Zhong Emperor cheated and stole the Qi family, but the people in power at that time were too busy to take care of themselves, and no one stood up to stop the rumors.

The rumors are not groundless, but they have not yet spread wildly. It can be seen that someone must be planning behind the scenes, and there is no need to think about who this person is.What Xie Wancheng didn't understand was its deeper purpose.

He spent half his life wandering around the rivers and lakes, not caring about worldly affairs and not caring about power, but he didn't know that the scourge left by Kang Daiqi Erli would soon be a silent coup d'état.

The national funeral ceremony lasted for three days, the bells in temples and temples were ringing continuously, all the officials were dressed in plain clothes and onyx crowns, white flags were planted all over the capital, and the sky was covered with heavy cigarettes.

The new emperor ascended the throne, amnesty the world.

When the whole world was celebrating, the courtiers were so overwhelmed that they never mentioned the edict of condemnation, especially the imperial censor who personally presented it to the late emperor after being examined by the imperial censor, was asked by curious people, blindly pretending to be deaf and dumb Attempt to confuse the past, which is related to the honor and disgrace of the former emperor. It is far from being as simple as King Huaijing's dereliction of duty. How many people know, as a veteran of the two dynasties, he can naturally understand clearly.

But within a few days, an uninvited guest came to visit Tayue. The commander of the forbidden army, Xiao He, secretly asked him for details.

There are many officials in Yushitai, and the root cause of the rumors is Yushitai.

Intimidated by Xiao He's few words about the incident and his family's threatening words, the old and faint doctor Yushi immediately explained the ins and outs of the criminal edict.In the end, a consensus was reached, and Xiao He would test the tone of the new emperor first.

A tree lives on a piece of skin, and a person lives on a breath. The breath Xiao He wants to fight for comes from his fear. If he takes a wrong step, he will fail. He has no room to turn back. King Huai Jing will not let him go.

Even if the world is amnesty, Xiao He's crimes will not be investigated at all, after all, it has not become a fact.

But the eldest prince was originally a voluptuous person with no ambitions. After succeeding to the throne, he worked hard for a few days, and privately began to recruit beauties from all over the world to fill the harem. He dismissed the old eunuch who was dedicated to the imperial study, and had to be accompanied by beauties when reviewing memorials. Bring tea and water.

Xiao He listened to the humming and laughter for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind, "My humble minister Xiao He begs to see the emperor."

The emperor didn't have the guts to act lewdly at any time, Zuo just felt bored and teased a few beauties in the imperial study to adjust his mood, when he heard the report, he immediately fell silent and called, "Enter."

The emperor waited for a while and saw that he was kneeling silently, slightly annoyed, gave him a cold look and said, "I have something to say."

Xiao He thought about the wording, "It's about the first emperor. When the first emperor was alive, there was a secret order passed down to the minister."

The emperor became more and more dissatisfied. As the late emperor's own prince, he had to learn from a subordinate if he had any secret orders.

"Why did you report it now?"

"The late emperor once ordered the officials to investigate the case of King Huai Jing's dereliction of duty, but the late emperor left suddenly, and the case has not been clarified, so we can only let it go."

The emperor smiled lightly and said, "You mean to continue to investigate? Xiao He, don't think that I don't know about your good deeds. I didn't punish you for treason because you and my second brother failed. King Huaijing and you, you Who do you think I value?"

Xiao He hastily put his hands on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Your Majesty knows the lesson, but I still think that King Huai Jing intended to provoke the late Emperor, and the Emperor didn't know about it. The previous emperor ordered me to investigate not only the matter of Huai Jing's dereliction of duty, but also other secrets. .”

The emperor looked coldly and contemptuously, "What hidden feelings, the father has passed away, you can say whatever you want."

Xiao He said impatiently, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can call the imperial cook at Prince Huaijing's mansion to ask. The late emperor had long suspected that King Huai Jing was plotting something wrong, and had always sent people to keep an eye on the palace secretly, and the late emperor was extremely suspicious that the prince of the previous dynasty was still alive. world."

The emperor was astonished and asked, "Why did the late emperor tell you such an important secret, why did I not hear a word?"

"The matter has not yet been investigated and confirmed, so it is not appropriate to alarm. That's why I linked the whole matter together. King Huai Jing hid the former prince, plotted to restore Daqi, and acted first before the deeds were revealed. King Jing dared to kill the king, everything happened unexpectedly, the emperor knew nothing about it, and this is what King Huai Jing wanted to see the most."

The emperor was frowning, and was almost convinced. After thinking twice, he still believed what he saw with his own eyes, "King Huai Jing saved me in the mansion of my second younger brother that day, and blocked a sword for me. I don't believe that Yuan Cheng will rebel. According to what you said, He planned these for more than one or two years, he was a child more than 20 years ago, you had such a deep city at that time?"

Xiao He was speechless. He might have been playing with mud in a wasteland at that time, and then he said, "Just in case, please think about it carefully. Which of the inferences made by this humble minister is not reasonable? Otherwise, how to explain the late emperor's recovery from illness?" In the middle, he had a sudden stroke again. The memorial to the party against the party may be one of the reasons, but how the memorial was passed on to the Yushitai, there must be someone behind it. Taking a step back, let’s not care whether the memorial is true or not, so who would do it? So what? If it is King Huai Jing, doesn't the Emperor think that everything is logical?"

Xiao He was eager to seek approval, so he threw out the question. The emperor was confused, and stared at him with deep frowns.

Xiao He continued in a low voice, "Nowadays, the government and the public are spreading the content of the memorandum. The emperor might as well summon a few of them. If rumors are allowed to spread, it will be detrimental to the country and detrimental to the emperor."

"If your Majesty is worried that King Huai Jing will block the sword for you, then think about it, maybe the second prince is going after King Huai Jing?" Xiao He observed his words and followed up.

The emperor thought about it for a while but couldn't figure out why, and finally saw Xiao He's serious face as if he was facing a big enemy, so he said out of caution, "This matter needs to be investigated, you call back the so-called eyeliner first, and I will ask about it." Be clear and say something else."

Although the new monarch has no great talent in governing the country, he does not easily listen to one-sided words. Xiao He's painstaking efforts to understand conspiracy theories are considered a mistake, but it is not in vain to attract the emperor's attention.
