Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 60 The Emperor's Suspicion

As the county magistrate at the foot of the emperor, he knows many things that ordinary people don't know, so he has heard about Ye Chen's position in the heart of the current emperor, although Ye Chen is only awarded titles and honors now, and has not yet arranged to send him to a position of real power.But He Shanyue knew that it was because the current emperor paid too much attention to Ye Chen, and he was always hesitant about where he should be placed.

What's more, he also knew that Zhao Pu, the chief assistant prime minister, and Zhao Guangyi, his immediate boss, the governor of Kaifeng, both showed affection to Ye Chen. Even at the celebration ceremony in the morning, a scene of wooing Ye Chen was staged on the spot.

He Shanyue looked at his wife who was clamoring endlessly, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart. What kind of evil did he do? Not only did he have a fierce wife in his family, but he also had a shameless son who bullied men and women all day long. .

Now that the world is in trouble, is that young Xiangfu uncle easy to provoke?It is said that he also has a good relationship with Cao Bin, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and Luo Yaoshun, the son of Luo Gongming, the deputy envoy of the third department.The most important thing is that Zhao Guangyi, whom he relied on, also showed favor to him. Didn't he just hear that he sent a group of servants to Yefu today.

This case will not win even if it is brought before His Majesty, after all, the widow will be the first to be killed by this scoundrel who insulted the Imperial Army.Hearing his wife You's endless quarrel, He Shanyue was furious and shouted, "That's enough, you stupid woman, you didn't teach your son well on weekdays, and let him get into such a catastrophe. Now there are more than 100 people in your family. You are still quarreling endlessly at such a critical moment, are you willing to kill the whole family?"

The woman had never seen her husband yelling at her so loudly, she felt timid in her heart, and although her face was ugly, she stopped yelling.

"However, we still have to tell Lord Fu Yin about this matter. Even if he doesn't decide for us, he will keep our family safe." He Shanyue muttered to himself.

Zhao Kuangyin stood under a dense sycamore tree in front of the Ganlu Hall, enjoying the empress Song's shoulders, but pondered He Shanyue's words in his heart.

Zhao Kuangyin is one of the few emperors in the past who are not very obsessed with women. He has a lot of affection for the queen. His first wife, He Shi, died before he became the emperor. Zhao Kuangyin missed his dead wife. Posthumously named queen.The second queen, Wang, died of illness after only four years in the palace. Zhao Kuangyin was distraught, and lived in widowhood for four years to show his memory.Up to now, the Empress Song is just 20 years old this year, the same age as the eldest prince Zhao Dezhao, although she is very much loved by Zhao Kuangyin, she is never proud of her favor.

Zhao Kuangyin was able to know what He Shanyue said, naturally he learned it from Wu Desi.

Speaking of Wu Desi, it was a secret agent organization in the early Northern Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, but it was not as large as the latter.In charge of the entrance and exit of the palace city, the guards in the Zhou Lu, and the opening and closing of the palace gate.Two bronze talismans and one iron plate are given to each door, the left talisman is reserved for the door, the right talisman is for the key, and the iron plate is for the key.All the ministers and bureaucrats have a fixed place to get on and off the horse when they meet the emperor, and there is a fixed number of people from the prime minister and the prince down.The internal servants dispatch relatives to observe the movements of the subjects and report to the emperor.In the original history, in the sixth year of Taiping Xingguo, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi changed Wu Desi to Huangcheng Division.

Wu Desi paid attention to any troubles that happened in Kaifeng city.Ye Chen's beating of He Yanei was naturally known to Zhao Kuangyin at the first time.

The five fingers of the right hand were all shattered, and the roots of the descendants under the crotch were also turned into meatloaf. There was no hope of recovery. This was naturally the diagnosis of He Yanei's injury.The fierceness of Ye Chen's attack made Zhao Kuangyin frown secretly. Although the dude had misbehavior, it was indeed a bit too much to suffer such a heavy blow.

"What a sensitive boy, he seems to be doing it for me, does this reassure me?" Zhao Kuangyin murmured to himself.

Where is Ye Chen's blank twenty years?Zhao Kuangyin really doesn't believe that there is such a thorough reclusive expert, what kind of person is it that can teach an apprentice like Ye Chen, this expert is more mysterious than Ye Chen, but No matter how Wu Desi investigates, he has no clue.It was as if there were suddenly two more people in the world, Ye Chen and the master master he was talking about, with no roots, no bottom, and no past.You must know that there are still some clues about the past of that Taoist 'Zhen Wu' in the world, but Ye Chen has no trace.

Zhao Kuangyin discovered that the Xiangfu uncle he had just conferred was full of secrets, which made him full of curiosity. He already knew from Cao Bin the scene when Ye Chen appeared, especially that he was in a coma for more than ten days, did not eat or drink and was healthy It is an extremely important thing, and the wonderful method of making salt that comes at hand easily beat Jia Xian, who is well-educated and well-educated, in the boring and boring field of mathematics at a young age. Even Teacher Jia Xian, the current Guozijian Jijiu Zhang Qing, was shocked by the two diagrams of mathematics. As a celestial being, Ye Chen naturally surpassed Zhang Qing, a master of a generation, in this calculation.Knowledge cannot be faked, it is a real thing that cannot be stolen or robbed.

These seem to be able to confirm the existence of Ye Chen's master master. Without a strong inheritance, he doesn't think that Ye Chen alone can calculate such a complicated diagram, and his master is not enough.Learning depends on the accumulation of time and cannot be achieved overnight, and even one or two generations cannot achieve immediate results.

"Will this kid be related to that force?" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly remembered the worries that had been pressing in his heart all along, and his eyes shone coldly.Of course, this doesn't mean that he began to doubt Ye Chen, but instinctively felt that Ye Chen's mystery was vaguely similar to the mystery of that force, and they were both so elusive and difficult to see through.

"No, could it be that Zhen Wu Taoist's disciple." Zhao Kuangyin's heart suddenly moved, and he recalled that memory about Zhen Wu Taoist.

"No matter what the origin is, such good seedlings cannot be scattered outside, let those who are interested fight over, um... Rixin's age is similar to Ye Chen, why don't you bring Ye Chen into the palace and give Rixin a job Read it." Zhao Kuangyin murmured to himself.

The Rixin in Zhao Kuangyin's mouth is the name of the eldest prince Zhao Dezhao.In fact, Zhao Dezhao was not the eldest son of Zhao Kuangyin, but the second son. Zhao Dexiu, the eldest son of Zhao Kuangyin, died when he was young.

According to the usual practice, the prince should be crowned king as soon as he leaves the cabinet.But Zhao Kuangyin thought that Zhao Dezhao was young and wanted him to become king gradually.Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin's two sons have never been crowned kings, and Zhao Kuangyin's two younger brothers, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Guangmei, have also not been crowned kings.

In the back hall of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Guangyi looked calm, but several confidantes around him could see the unhappiness in the master's heart from his eyes.Ye Chen kicked out the housekeeper from the original mansion and took in other servants. In Ye Chen's view, it was already a face for Zhao Guangyi, but in Zhao Guangyi's view, this was still not enough. He still felt vaguely that Ye Chen was ignorant. unhappy.

When He Shanyue came to the door and cried, he felt even more unhappy, beating the dog depends on the owner.

"A child whose foundation is like duckweed is so arrogant, he should find an opportunity to teach him a lesson." Zhao Guangyi said very plainly, but several confidants who knew his habits already knew that Zhao Guangyi had his eye on Ye Chen. And he wanted to use the old routine to win Ye Chen to his side.

There are three routines for Zhao Guangyi to imprison courtiers and network private parties, which are actually old routines since ancient times.They are the three things of coercion, temptation, and favor.

Coercion is naturally not simply going to the door to force each other, but to investigate other people's reasons for intimidation.Incentives are treating guests, giving gifts, and showing favor.Sending Ye Chen and the servants this time belongs to this method.And showing grace is to rely on one's own status to intercede for officials and open up guilt whenever an official is convicted.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi said this sentence, which represented the end of the method of lure and temptation on Ye Chen, and the two methods of coercion and showing favor may be used on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen personally brought eight veterans, guarding a carriage carrying people and goods, back to his mansion.Naturally, Li Junhao also accompanied him.

Back at the mansion, Ye Chen called Ma Gangzi and confessed in person that he would find an independent small courtyard for Liu's family in the mansion, and transfer two maids to take care of him.

The speed of news transmission is always faster than the speed of the carriage. Ye Chen has not returned yet, but his amazing deeds in the south city have spread to the east city.After hearing this, several servants in Xiangfu Bo's mansion who went out to buy things brought the news back to the mansion, and it soon spread throughout the mansion.

So, after Ye Chen returned to the mansion, he accidentally heard the following conversation with his hearing which was far superior to that of ordinary people.

"Be careful in the future, the Sir has a bad temper."

"No, my lord is very kind. My lord met me when I went out at noon today. When I saluted, he still smiled at me."

"That was the time when I didn't lose my temper. I didn't see the prodigal yamen of Kaifeng county magistrate's family being beaten into a maim by the lord, and even everything was smashed to pieces!"

"That's because he provoked the lord. The lord has been on the battlefield and killed countless people. I heard that the lord just caused the Jinyang City to collapse, and killed tens of thousands of people. You think, Is it okay if the Sir is angry?"

"Actually, in my opinion, it was because my lord had just been made an earl today. He was in a good mood and held back his anger for a while, so he just broke the prodigal son of the magistrate He. Otherwise, according to the lord Their temper during the battle in Jinyang might have killed their entire family."

Maid A and Maid B stood behind the flower bed more than 100 steps away, peeking at Ye Chen leading people into the gate of the mansion, chatting happily, thinking that no one could hear the conversation, but Ye Chen overheard is on.

The corner of Ye Chen's mouth raised his eyebrows. It seemed that his reputation as a stingy bastard had been spread. Thinking about it, Zhao Kuangyin should be able to see me as a normal person, so he wouldn't be too suspicious.It's just that so many people died in Jinyang City, how can it be counted on me?

Not to mention that the Shui'er family was amazed by the magnificence and scale of the Earl's Mansion, Ye Chen was led to the banquet by Luo Yaoshun who came next.
