high official

Chapter 484

After leaving Zhu Liu's house, it was already midnight, and the temperature in the capital was much higher than that in Taiyuan. Wang Xian and others, who were used to the severe cold, felt that the winter night in Jinling was quite warm.

So Wang Xian clasped his hands and walked slowly on the long, silent street, thinking about his thoughts silently.

Verification of what Zhu Liuye said and what he learned from Xue Zhengyan basically fits perfectly.And since the two sides have made peace, it is logical to deal with Ji Gang together, and there is little possibility of him tripping him up.After all, if Mr. Zhu Liu deliberately led himself astray, it would be difficult for the emperor to explain.

In fact, it’s okay if you don’t believe it. To go to Zhu Liu this time, isn’t it just using a dead horse as a living horse doctor?

The reason why Wang Xian was so cautious was because what Zhu Liu said involved the affairs of the palace, which has always been a taboo for foreign officials.

But he also saw a huge opportunity from it. If the truth of this case could be revealed, it would be a huge blow to Ji Gang.This kind of opportunity is very rare, because the emperor will not take ordinary unjust, false and wrong cases to heart, at most he can just say a few words about Ji Gang, only this kind of case that makes the emperor kill his concubine in vain can completely tear the relationship between the two relation.

Such a good opportunity, if you miss it, you may never be able to wait again.In the cold wind, Wang Xian's heart became hotter and hotter. It wasn't until he was thinking about how to overturn the case that he suddenly cooled down again... After many years, all the parties involved have died, and all the evidence has been annihilated.After much deliberation, there are only two things that can reverse the case. One is to let the informer, Lu Meiren, admit that she has made a false accusation.But that kind of fate would be worse than that of Lu Jieyu, and she would never change her mind.The second is to open the coffin for an autopsy, as long as the bones of Concubine Quan Gui are examined, it will be known whether she has been poisoned.Because normal bones are white, they will turn yellow after a long time, and only when there is too much arsenic will they appear black.

However, this method is even more unreliable than the previous method. Wang Xian absolutely believes that if he dares to mention this matter, the emperor will kill him alive.

After much deliberation, the difficulty is too high, so we can only put it aside and investigate according to the normal case.Sighing in disappointment, Wang Xian got into the carriage behind him, and warmed himself by the fire with an erratic expression.The carriage was driving slowly on the lonely street, and when it passed an alley, the curtain of the carriage moved, and a black figure flashed over him.The whole movement is done in one go, just like opening and closing.

Of course, Wang Xian's guards are not vegetarians. There is only one reason why he can tolerate such a coquettish move...he is one of his own.

Wang Xian looked at the wandering cloud with a smile on his face, "It's rare that I'm actually wearing night clothes today."

Young Master Xianyun knew that he was laughing at himself, and he couldn't help saying angrily when he said big things in Guangling County: "Do you know how many eyes are staring at you, His Highness the Crown Prince? Isn't it just to be on the safe side?" They all grew up step by step. Young Master Xianyun, who was only interested in being handsome at the beginning, finally stopped supporting him after being captured in Wutai County.

"So you haven't been found?" Wang Xian asked with a smile.

"Since my young master has been careful, no one in this world will be able to detect me!" Xian Yun sneered, and did not change his bad fart.

"It's good if you haven't been discovered." Wang Xian smiled and asked softly, "What did the prince say?"

"His Royal Highness said," Xianyun Fang Zheng said: "You just let go and do it."

Although he was taught a lesson by the emperor in the morning, it is impossible for Wang Xian not to communicate with the prince about such a big matter, that would be too forgetful.Wang Xian originally thought that the crown prince would ask him to be more cautious and keep a good balance, but he didn't expect to let him do it.This is really not in line with the prince's cautious temperament. It seems that what happened last year finally made His Royal Highness realize that this is a life-and-death war, and there is no peace in exchange for blind tolerance.

"I see." Wang Xian nodded, reached out to open the car window, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Huitong Hall."

.

The Huitong Pavilion is located in the west of the imperial city, and it was specially built for the vassal envoys to stay when they came to Beijing. At the moment, there are more than a dozen missions from Korea, Ryukyu, Sulu, etc. who are coming to Beijing to congratulate.However, all the missions combined are not as large as the North Korean missions. The entire East Wing of the Congregation Hall is used by them, and there is a separate gate, which shows Emperor Yongle's preference for North Korea.

"Knock on the door." It was already four o'clock at this time, and the door of the North Korean mission was naturally closed. Wang Xian gave an order, and the guards stepped forward to knock on the door.In this quiet night, the knock on the door was particularly loud.

After a while, the porter came out with a lantern and said angrily, "Is there anything I can't come back at dawn?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Beizhen Fusi handles the case according to the order!" Although Wang Xian has not officially taken office, the guards can't wait to use this cool line.

It worked very well, the door really didn't dare to scold, and quickly opened the door.At this time, the people in the museum were also alarmed, the lights were turned on, and North Korean officials came out to check.

"The action is fast enough." Wang Xian whispered to Xianyun beside him: "It seems that many people can't sleep at night."

Xianyun nodded: "It's a guilty conscience."

The clothing and language of the Koreans basically follow the regulations of Ming Dynasty, only a little different in some details. For example, the two officials who came out to welcome them can see through the official uniforms of Ming Dynasty, but if you look closely, the difference still exists. For example, the hem of Ming Dynasty's official uniform reaches the ankle, but the hem of North Korean official uniform is very short, and the boots are all exposed.Also, the belts of the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty are wider, and they are all tied downwards. The belts of the official uniforms of North Korea are much narrower, and they are tilted upwards, pressing on the chest.Buzi and Wusha are also shorter and look rather cramped.It's not as majestic as Daming's official uniform.

But this is also normal, how can the official uniforms of the vassal state be as popular as the suzerain state?
The two officials saluted Wang Xian, and after Wang Xian returned the salute, he was invited to come in and sit down.After being seated, the two introduced themselves, one was Ren Tiannian and the other was Li Maochang. Wang Xian immediately said in awe: "So they are two relatives of the emperor."

In the sixth year of Yongle, the five beauties presented by North Korea, in addition to Concubine Quangui and Lu Jieyu, one was the daughter of Yin Rentiannian, the Zuo Si of Renning Mansion, the other was the daughter of Li Wenming, a magistrate of Gong'an Mansion, and the other was Daughter of Cui Defei, Deputy Chief of the Chinese Army, after entering the palace, Ren was conferred the title of concubine Shun, Li was conferred the title of Zhaoyi, and Cui was conferred the title of beauty.These two people in front of them are both the fathers of the emperor's favorite concubine. They don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, so Wang Xian changed his attitude.

After the daughter became the concubine of the Ming emperor, the two fathers, Ren and Li, were enshrined as Qing of Guanglu Temple and Shaoqing of Honglu Temple by Daming because of their noble daughters.To put it bluntly, let the king of North Korea support these idlers, but the king of North Korea will not raise these idlers for nothing. The task of envoys is always given to two or three of these five, but later Lu Jieyu was executed, and this task was reincarnated among the four.North Korea sends envoys to Beijing every Spring Festival, Zhu Di's birthday and some important ceremonies, so these frequent pilgrimages are already thorough hands on China.

They had heard of Wang Xian's name, but they didn't know that he had already served as the governor of Beizhen. They were secretly surprised when Wang Xian reported his family name, and they calculated the impact of this appointment on the Ming Dynasty.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Wang Xiandao explained the purpose of his visit: "It's really abrupt to come here late at night, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey. I ordered to find out last night within the next three days... Oh no, it should be said that the fire at the Meridian Gate the night before had to be disturbed." The two adults clear their dreams."

"Where is it? It's really not easy for Mr. Wang to be ordered to do business. If there is any need for cooperation, the subordinate officials should do their best." Ren Tiannian, the envoy of the mission who spoke, only had a twinkle in his eyes when he said this , Although it was only for a moment, it did not escape Wang Xian's eyes.

"That's great." Wang Xian said with a smile: "The first task now is to verify the identity of the deceased. I wonder if anyone in the mission went to Yuqian Street to watch the lanterns the night before?"

"Of course there is. Many people will never see this magnificent scene in their lives." Ren Tiannian and Li Maochang looked at each other, and the former replied, "Let's not talk about the people below, the two of us have gone too." Heart palpitations: "Who would have thought that such an accident would happen. Although he was lucky not to be injured, he still can't sleep at night, and his eyes are full of the scene at that time."

Wang Xian offered a few words of condolences, then changed the subject, "Then did the mission suffer casualties?"

"This..." The two looked at each other again, Fang shook his head and said, "No."

"Are you sure?" Wang Xian asked.

"Sure." The two hesitated and nodded.

"However, please gather all the members in the yard and let me take an inventory." Wang Xian entered the state quickly, already quite arrogant as the Fusi of Beizhen.

As expected, the faces of the two North Korean officials changed. Li Maochang frowned and said, "Could it be that your lord doesn't believe our words?"

"Believe it, why don't you believe it?" Wang Xian said with a fake smile: "But there are so many people in the mission, the two adults will inevitably miss something, so I'd better count it carefully and rest assured."

"We have already counted." Li Maochang was already a little displeased.

"It's better to count again and rest assured." Wang Xian said with a smile.In the eyes of North Koreans, it is just a smiling tiger.

"Why does your lord insist on counting the number of missions?" Ren Tiannian finally couldn't help it.

"Why does your lord insist on not counting the number of missionaries?" Wang Xian asked a bit rascally.

"Your Excellency, if you give us a reason that can convince us, we can count it." Ren Tiannian frowned and said: "If there is no reason, please forgive me, my North Korean mission is not under the jurisdiction of the Zhenfu Division, so please invite your lord to come here." Let’s talk about the decree.”

"I've already said the good reasons." Wang Xian's expression also turned cold, "Do you want to listen to the rest of the bad ones? I think it's better not to listen to them." He said seriously: "But since the two of you want to Listen, I have no choice but to say it. I was out of love for the two imperial relatives before, and the emperor was furious in this case. If you get involved, not only you may be implicated, but you will also implicate the empresses in the palace."

"..." The two North Korean officials fell silent for a moment.

　The basic update is the first update.
