Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 272
Knowing that he came out of Tuantuan's courtyard, King Ping also saw his strange expression, so he asked calmly, "Want to divorce?"

"Don't dare, my son-in-law would have such an idea." Yu Boyan said hastily. Seeing King Ping looking at him indifferently, he was a little surprised. In the past, King Ping was always gentle and humble when meeting guests. Why did he change his face now? Thinking that he is also a member of the royal family, Yu Boyan felt relieved.

"Father-in-law, do you have any clues?"

"The left is just those few families."

"What does father-in-law want to do? Is there something my son-in-law can do?"

"You don't need it yet, you go back."

"Yes." Yu Boyan replied, bowed and retreated, but he didn't want to just let the matter go, since King Ping could investigate it, so could he.

Not long after he left, Zhuhua entered King Ping's study, looked inside, and said, "Ah Yan has gone back? I want to ask him if he wants to eat in the mansion."

"I've already gone back." King Ping said.

Zhuhua sized him up and left, walked up to him and scratched his face, and asked, "Tell me, what did you say just now?"

King Ping tilted his head, hesitated for a while, and then said intimidated by Zhuhua's gaze: "Tuantuan told him the matter, and he wanted to help, so I let him go back."

"It's true that the An Guohou's Mansion should not be involved in this matter." Zhuhua nodded and looked at him firmly, "You still don't think it's the work of the Zhang family?"

King Ping nodded, pulled her to sit on his lap, circled her body and said, "If it's really the Zhang family, they are too stupid."

"Maybe he just wanted to do the opposite, and deliberately sold his flaws to make you think otherwise."

King Ping still smiled and shook his head.

Zhuhua didn't argue with him any further, and said, "Actually, I don't think it will be the Zhang family. It's not good for them to do so."

It's more than just useless, King Ping thought to himself.When the first emperor passed away, he left a will. If the emperor had no heirs, the successor should choose the son of Emperor Huizhuang.This edict is now in his hands, and Duke Qing also knows about it. With this edict, whether it is Yuan Heng or Yuan Tai who succeeds to the throne in the future, it will be justified.As long as this edict is in his hands, Duke Qing will not dare to touch him.In the court hall, Duke Qing doesn't have to be afraid of His Majesty too much, even if His Majesty intends to appoint others in the future, he can't go against the late Emperor's will.

Only he and Duke Qing knew about this matter, not even the Holy Majesty, because of this he didn't think that the Duke of Qing would take action against Prince Ping's mansion rashly.

If it wasn't Duke Qing, then it was King Chen, and there were only a few houses in Beijing that regarded Prince Ping's mansion as a thorn in their side.King Ping also didn't think that someone would act recklessly because of such a trivial matter as jealousy, and such a person didn't have the intention to plant a hidden stake in the princess mansion in advance.According to his thinking, it was probably that someone wanted to stir up trouble between him and Duke Qing's mansion. If it was because of this, King Chen's suspicion would be even greater.

It's just that right now, without definite evidence, he can't touch King Chen. It's more useful to keep some people now than remove them. With King Chen in the court to restrain Duke Qing, His Majesty can have a breathing space to support his strength and wait for the opportunity. Eliminate dissidents.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, all the surrounding areas have been eyeing him, and the budget spent on armaments has increased over the years.The Holy Majesty is still young, and now is the time when the country is strong and prosperous, and he also wants to launch an attack to expand the territory first, but Duke Qing does not agree to do so.It's just that he can't stop this matter alone. According to the current situation in the court, there may be someone from a foreign country who can't sit still.In their eyes, Kang Chao was just a piece of fat, if they didn't lose a few of their teeth, how would they know that not everyone could eat this fat.

Leaving aside the future state of the country, the current undercurrent between Prince Ping's Mansion and Duke Qing's Mansion has to be cleared up, and he has to maintain a peaceful and stable relationship with Duke Qing.

King Ping searched for a day and asked Qing Guogong to go to the teahouse for a meeting, and chatted with him about the shop opened by the Zhang family, and about the military officer who went to this shop to steal and was arrested, and then came to Ping Wang's mansion to assassinate. .

At first, Duke Qing wondered why King Ping would ask him out for tea, but he didn't know the reason until King Ping told him about it.He understood the key point right away, said a few words to King Ping, and left.After returning, he carefully checked the shops opened by the Zhang family, and found that the servants and clansmen of the mansion occupied many shops in busy places in Beijing, even the Lu family had many.There are a few shops that are still doing unscrupulous business, and outsiders dare not say anything even though they know that this is a shop in Qingguo Mansion.

In the early years, Duke Qing had seen the clan's chaos and chaos, but he never thought that the Zhang clan would become like this once they grew up, and he was a little disheartened for a while.He followed the late emperor not for the sake of being prominent now, but with a heart of loyalty and love for his sister, who knew that his sister died early and the late emperor had already died, leaving only a situation that did not match his expectations.

He wanted to rectify it, but when he thought about the Lu family and the children in the clan, he felt that he had no way to start.They will be like this now that he is still there, and they don't know what will happen to the Zhang family after a hundred years of him.

It's just that now, their Zhang family is far from being manipulated by others, and he has many unfinished things that cannot be stopped by anyone.

After that, the momentum in the court inexplicably became tense again. Duke Qing and King Chen were already at odds with each other, but now they dislike each other even more.King Chen originally had little power in the court, and relied on the old clans represented by the Lin clan. These clans were already weak in the court, and after being suppressed several times by Duke Qing, there were not many left. , His Majesty proposed a number of candidates that Lord Qing also agreed with, and Duke Beichuan also took the opportunity to be promoted to Minister of the Household Department, and he was also the youngest Minister of the Household Department in all dynasties.

After the Holy Majesty promoted him, he also advised him in the court that if he had any questions, he could ask Qing Guogong more. These words also meant to elevate Qing Guogong, but it was very harsh to Yuan Heng.He had been oppressed by Duke Qing in the Ministry of Officials, and he couldn't do many things according to his own wishes. He finally went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and became the head of a department. How could he listen to Duke Qing's opinions again.

Duke Qing knew that he had been young and energetic these past few years, but the more he was like this, the less he could make mistakes. He was originally a person who was easy to be stubborn and refused to listen to advice, and only Duke Qing was there. In order to barely hold him down.Originally, he wanted to take him with him for a few more years, but since His Majesty gave him grace, Duke Qing let him do it. He could only keep an eye on him so as not to make any mess that was difficult to deal with.If Yuan Heng is really unbearable, he can turn around in time and transfer Yuan Tai back from the border.

Princess Wanhua has been finding out about Tuantuan's affairs secretly, and she finally found out about Chen Wang.The Holy Majesty knew about this a long time ago, and Princess Wanhua secretly reported the findings to him.

"Is this the final result?"

In the bedroom, the Holy Majesty looked at Wan Hua who was sitting in front of him and pouring tea for him.Her facial features are more like his, and her personality is also similar, only a pair of eyes are born very much like Queen Jingyi.At this moment, she was looking at the Holy Majesty with a smile, and nodded solemnly.

The Holy Majesty smiled, and took a sip of the tea. Her skill at making tea is not as good as Wanning's, so I'm afraid that all her thoughts are spent elsewhere.

"Is investigating the case fun?" The Holy Majesty asked as he put down his teacup.

"It's fun." Wan Hua responded immediately, but kept smiling and asked, "Father, is my son getting engaged too?"

"Yes."

"Whose family? You don't want a family with too many rules."

"Don't worry, there are no rules. He just came from the countryside last year, so he is considered a half-doctor." After finishing speaking, the Holy One looked at Wanhua, "You should have seen it."

Wan Hua lowered his head and thought for a while, but he really wanted to come up with someone, so he raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that little gangster of the Geng family?"

"Xiao Zuo? He is three years older than you."

"But he's thin, small, and fierce..." Wan Hua muttered, glanced at his father who seemed to be smiling, and asked suspiciously, "Did you communicate with his family long ago?"

"I don't dare to reveal the meaning. If others know that the dignified Princess Wanhua is working in the official department, where will I put my face?"

Wan Hua snorted angrily when he heard the words, and snatched the tea he wanted to drink.

The Holy Majesty helplessly raised his empty hand, slowly put it down, straightened his sleeves and asked, "Are you unwilling? If you are unwilling, I will look for you again. There are still many nerds who are not suitable for high-ranking officials." of."

Wan Hua sat for a while, then gave her a look at the Holy Majesty who was looking at her tentatively, and said, "Let's see if they are sincere or not."

"Okay, I'll let someone go and find out."

"Who did you ask to talk?"

"Your Seventh Uncle." The Holy Majesty said in a low voice, he is still in the stage of falling out with the Peace King, and he must not let others know that the two often avoid meeting people.

After staying for a few days, King Ping Daisheng went up to ask Geng Jieqing, the new minister of punishment, about his second son's marriage.

Seeing him coming, Geng Jieqing said, "Why are you here to ask? Didn't you have a falling out with the Holy One?"

"Master Geng was joking." Prince Ping smiled lightly, and did not answer his words, but glanced left and right, and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen your son yet."

After hearing this, Geng Jieqing didn't continue to joke, so he sent someone to call his son.Geng Erlang heard that there were still guests in the house, so he deliberately adjusted his appearance when he entered the house, but unfortunately he always wore old linen clothes for the convenience of entering and leaving the scene, and he was a little thin, so he didn't look like a nobleman.He has been staying in Pengze with Geng Jieqing these years, and sometimes he will follow his father to help the villagers work in the fields.Although he has achieved fame, he just wants to be a low-level gangster.His father had to stay in the countryside for so many years because he checked the case correctly. What is there to stay in such an officialdom.

Geng Jieqing didn't force him, and let him do what he wanted to do. Anyway, the eldest son in the family was still willing to spend his time in the officialdom, so he didn't have to restrain the second son to pursue his career.

After seeing Li, King Ping saw that although he was a little thinner, he was in good spirits and looked energetic, so he felt that the Holy One had a good vision.

After exchanging some pleasantries, he asked, "Do you remember a fair-faced Yang Lingshi who is shorter than you and went to review several cases with you these days."

"Remember." Geng Erlang replied, he remembered that Yang Erlang was careless, always almost getting into trouble, and people couldn't help but stare at him more.These days she was quietly investigating something, and she didn't know if there was any accident, Geng Erlang thought with some worry.
