Chapter 62 Everything is ready, the east wind blows

I heard these things from the little palace maid.

The female officer immediately took the little palace maid out and found two nuns.These two were the etiquette teachers in the palace, and they used to go to Prince Jian's Mansion.

Soon, Lord Wang knew about this.

Why are people from Prince Jian's palace in the official palace?

This is one of them.

There are other two.

Officials have not gone to court for several days. Could it be that...

Junjun Wang has a low status and is not qualified to check various records about Zhao Ji in the palace.

But there are people who can.

Wang Junjun was previously a female official beside the Empress Dowager Xiang, and it was the Empress Dowager Xiang who gave him and the Zheng family to Zhao Ji.

Liang Shicheng was traveling to Songshan at this time, and Zhao Youfu was sent to supervise ink painting for Zhao Ji, just to get a new kind of ink back.

The Queen Mother called several other deacons’ father-in-law.

Wang Youzhong came to the Empress Dowager Xiang's palace with the records of those days.

After checking it out personally, the Queen Mother asked: "How did they get into the palace?"

Wang Youzhong replied: "I haven't seen it in person, but I heard from the servant on duty at the gate of the palace that he took the sign of King Jian and asked to enter the palace. It was in the middle of Youshi. Also, I brought a stack of letters. Liang Shicheng checked them and now they are sealed in In the inner treasury.”

"Fetched."

"I'll go right now." Wang Youzhong trotted to do it.

Soon, the letter was picked up.

Empress Dowager Xiang read the first letter carefully, and then ordered: "Go and get the files from the palace that examined the Cai brothers."

"Yes."

Empress Dowager Xiang did not ask anyone to read it for her, she read it herself.

She remembered that it had been reported that Cai Jing and Cai Bian had connections with King Jian, but at this time, according to the files, there were letters found from the homes of Cai Jing and Cai Bian as evidence, but the two concubines brought into the palace by King Jian were not used at all. letters as any evidence.

After reading this, Queen Mother Xiang really wanted to say something in her mind and beat those two cheap slaves to death with a cane.

But she endured it.

"Go down. It's nothing to do. Don't make the palace uneasy. Go ahead."

"Slave wait to retire."

After Wang Youzhong and other eunuchs in charge retreated, they said to the Queen Mother Wang Junjun: "This is strange. Two cheap servants were executed with a stick, but I can't understand why the official family accepted King Jian's people. And there’s…”

"Slave Wei Xianfu has something to report!"

Nodding to the Queen Mother, Lord Wang ordered: "Come forward."

"My eldest wife, I ordered you to buy some snacks from Fanlou. On the way back, I unexpectedly discovered that His Highness Prince Jian seemed to have entered Mr. Zhang's Mansion. I was not sure. I only saw his back. The carriage was not from Prince Jian's Mansion. The carriage is suspected to be King Jian."

He waved his hand to the Queen Mother: "Go down and have a rest."

"Yes."

Then, Queen Mother Xiang said to Lord Wang: "Forget about today's events for now, go back to the palace and rest."

"My maid, please leave!"

The hall was empty.

Empress Dowager Xiang put a hand on her forehead and began to recall the past.

That year, Shenzong died and Zhao Xi came to the throne. Because of her young age, the Empress Dowager Gao came to the court and activated the old method and suppressed the new method.After Gao's death, Emperor Daxing took charge of the government and vigorously promoted Zhang Dun and others. He spent a lot of effort to prevent Zhu from becoming the queen mother, only the concubine.

When the emperor died, Zhang Dun supported King Jian.

Queen Mother Xiang felt a chill. She always believed that Zhang Dun was King Jian's help.And Han Zhongyan whom he activated was to help himself and protect Zhao Ji.But at this time, there is obviously a third force.

That's right.

It's Zhao Ji.

Why was Master Liang so favored? What Liang Xin said was vivid to the Empress Dowager.

"There is nothing wrong in the official family, and if there is any mistake, it is my fault; the official family has no likes and dislikes, and they all treat their ministers with a normal heart. If a minister dies in vain, it is because the slave has gone too far..."

That's right.

Empress Dowager Xiang figured it out. The two lines of the new method and the old method were so fierce.The brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian of the Xinfa lineage fell and were exiled to Baizhou.But think about it the other way around, as for the old law lineage, just for those who ransacked homes, there was one third-grade, three fourth-grade, seven fifth-grade, and countless below fifth-grade.

Both lose.

Looking at the official side, many people were promoted quietly.Why did Zhao Ji have to promote the marriage between Liang Xin and Cao Tan?

The Empress Dowager remembered that Cao Ping mentioned a few words when he came to the palace. It was Cao Tan who hated marrying and had his eye on Liang Xin.

Zhao Ji just promoted this matter, which was equivalent to showing favor to the Cao family.

If the battle of Hehuang is a great victory.

Then, we can only return power to Zhao Ji.

Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't help but wonder: Who set up this trap.

Cao Ping, impossible.He is far away in Jiangnan.

Liang Shicheng, a slave, if he had this kind of scheming, it would be impossible for him to not show it at all for so many years.

Zeng Bu?

Yes, Zeng Bu.

Empress Dowager Xiang placed the target of suspicion on Zeng Bu.

Among all the civil and military ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, Zeng Bu was the only important official of third rank or above.At that time, he was Wang Anshi's deputy, but he soon opposed Wang Anshi, but he did not favor Sima Guang and became neutral.Neither the new law nor the old law belongs to the lineage. When I proposed that Zhao Ji ascend the throne, Zhang Dun came out to oppose it. Zeng Bu immediately refuted Zhang Dun and supported Zhao Ji.

Yes, it’s Zeng Bu.

Why didn't Queen Mother Xiang doubt Liang Xin?

16 is old.

If a 16-year-old boy had such a scheming plan, he would be as terrifying as a demon.

impossible!
As for the two cheap maids, they were just being used. Empress Dowager Xiang didn't want to alert the enemy. She wanted to wait for Zhao Ji to come back and question him face to face.

A few days later, Zhao Ji returned to Bianjing.

He believed that the copybook mentioned by Liang Xin was copied.

But that monument felt real to him.

So he carried the stele back from Zhongyue Temple.

Liang Shicheng arranged for the young eunuchs to carry the stele into Zhao Ji's study for his appreciation.

At this time, Wang Youzhong gave Liang Xin a detailed report on what happened in the palace.

Liang Xin entered Zhao Ji's study.

Standing in front of the monument: "Great monument, then I'll go home first."

"go Go."

Zhao Ji's thoughts are on the monument.

Liang Xin went home, walking faster and faster, a God-given opportunity.

King Jian was more clever than he thought. He could endure the greenness above his head. Well, very good.

After crossing the small bridge, Liang Xin asked Liang Zhong to arrange for someone to use a sliding rod to carry her and run.

He quickly ran back to the backyard and pushed open Li Qingzhao's door: "Give me the painting you asked me to reveal."

"This……"

"painting!"

Li Qingzhao did not dare to ask any more questions and handed the three scrolls to Liang Xin.

Liang Xin sat on the sliding pole again, and Liang Zhong asked several people to carry him and run away.

After entering the palace, Liang Xin did not dare to sit on the sliding pole and ran by herself.

When she arrived at the door of Zhao Ji's study, Liang Xin glanced at Wang Youzhong. Wang Youzhong shook his head slightly, telling himself that the Empress Dowager had not yet sent Zhao Ji over.

Liang Xin was overjoyed, and the time came before the Empress Dowager.

inside the house.

Zhao Ji was studying the stele when Liang Xin, sweating profusely, pushed the door open and rushed into Zhao Ji's study.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but Liang Xin fell to the ground before taking two steps into the study, but the thing she was holding in her hand was lifted and did not fall to the ground.

Zhao Ji was startled: "What, what's going on?"

Liang Xin shouted: "Lord, Lord, wonderful, wonderful things."

"Get up and talk." Zhao Ji helped Liang Xin get up with his own hands.

 The author dares to say that when Liang Xin asked Li Qingzhao to reveal the painting, no one could guess how it would be used. We will find out tomorrow.
