Chapter 144 The emperor will also take advantage of the loopholes
In the Chugong Hall, the emperor was absent-mindedly watching the various chapters summarized by the Political Affairs Hall.
Looking at the expression of the supreme emperor, Chen Wuliang knew that the emperor's heart had already flown to Dali Temple. He felt understanding and exchanged a cup of tea for the emperor. Just as he was about to comfort the emperor, he suddenly saw someone outside lying on his head. Seeing that the emperor was not paying attention at all, he quietly walked to the door.
"Eunuch Chen, Mr. Yan brought the ninth prince of Yue Mansion." The little yellow gate hesitated for a moment, and finally added another sentence, "Mr. Yan also brought a guard. Seeing that man looked like a girl."
Chen Wuliang knew that Yan Xu had always been a person without any scruples, and it was not surprising that the emperor's nephew took people to the palace casually. However, only Yue Qianqiu came back, but King Li Yiming of the King of England was not among them, which surprised him a little. He sent the little yellow gate first, tiptoed back to the emperor, and whispered to report such a thing.
Sure enough, the emperor also frowned tightly: "Dalang didn't come back with Yue Qianqiu?"
Seeing Chen Wuliang smiled bitterly, the emperor simply said, "Forget it, that's a little guy who is as difficult as his grandfather. He followed A Xu, the most chaotic master in the world. It's not surprising that he did anything. Go and call them all in, and I'll see what they're messing around!"
Not long after Chen Wuliang went out, the emperor who was holding the armrest in one hand to support his head heard a series of footsteps, and then he saw a group of people coming in. Yan Xu, who was familiar with the palace, walked in front of the front, and the little dwarf in the middle, was naturally Yue Qianqiu. The last one felt familiar at first, and he remembered who this was.
Isn’t it just the female disciple of the Rejuvenation Temple that I met in Shuiyuntian last time? I remember Princess Dongyang mentioned that he is now keeping someone to be his companion at home. But he always remembers that Princess Dongyang is not a kind-hearted person. When he met that time, he was wondering whether he was raised as a future daughter-in-law. Now that he looks at it this way, he feels more and more like him.
Although these unserious thoughts were turned into his mind, the emperor had a serious and rigid expression on his face. Seeing Yue Qianqiu saluting in a stern manner, he gently tapped the handrail with his left index finger and asked lightly: "Yue Qianqiu, weren't you going to Dali Temple with Dalang to investigate the Ouyang Tieshu case? Why are you the only one back?"
"Report to the emperor, the case has been tried, but there was an emergency. His Highness the King of England was probably busy discussing disputes with all the old men, so I'll come back first." Yue Qianqiu answered very smoothly. Before the emperor could react, he held the confession in both hands and raised his head. "Ouyang Tieshu's confession is here. As for the emergencies, it was Beiyan who was sending a message to block the door and ask for explanation."
Because Yue Qianqiu immediately urged Ouyang Tieshu to sign and ban the door in Renlu, and then let Yan Xu carry himself over the wall and slip away quickly. Therefore, he was a little faster than the news arrived in front of the emperor.
So, the emperor was surprised to hear this and could not help Chen Wuliang to accept the confession submitted by Yue Qianqiu, and immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation in the Dali Temple. After a casual glance, he seemed to have no interest in this case that he had been very concerned about. Instead, he looked at Yue Qianqiu with interest and asked, "How could Beiyan block the door of Dali Temple and ask for an explanation?"
"Uncle, the envoy of Beiyan claimed that they were a famous opera fanatic in their place. What kind of monk Shengping, who traveled to the south three years ago, was missing. The envoy of Beiyan, Renlu, didn't know where he heard that people were detained by the Dongtai Opera Garden to write operas. Now, because of the Golden Branch Record, they were locked up by Wudesi.
This time, Yan Xu explained briefly in front of Yue Qianqiu, and then said angrily: "I think this is three hundred taels of silver here. Maybe this Golden Branch Record is the ghost of Beiyan!"
The emperor suddenly realized that the reason why Li Yiming did not come back with Yue Qianqiu was probably because of Beiyan's sudden kick. Thinking of this storm that he had originally had a headache, because Beiyan was causing him to jump into the water, he might be able to try to guide the public opinion trend, and he couldn't help but smile.
Guoxin reported that the chief and deputy envoy of Beiyan had an internal strife these two days, and now the two groups of people are in charge of their own affairs. If the Zheng Renlu had not caused trouble in this case, he would not believe it!
In a good mood, he looked at the serious Yue Qianqiu and asked with a smile: "Since Renlu brought people to block the door and seek justice, Dalang didn't leave. Yue Qianqiu, why are you back?"
"Report to the emperor, Your Highness of the King of England is the prince. Faced with such emergencies, of course, I have to discuss countermeasures with the elders. But I was just temporarily ordered to try Ouyang Tieshu's case. I have asked clearly, and the case files and confessions are all included. Of course, I should come back to report to the emperor first. As for the Northern Yan envoy causing trouble, it is not my turn, a seven-year-old child, to take care of it."
Seeing Yue Qianqiu being very sensible, he thought that there was no such scheming as Old Master Yue and Princess Dongyang today. Yan Xu, his nephew, and Su Shiqi, a girl who was not well-informed, could easily come up with a way to save people. The emperor came up with the idea of exploring the Yue family's grandson.
So, his eyes rolled, and when he thought of where Princess Dongyang was, he came up with a plan.
He did not continue to dive into this topic, but suddenly said: "A Xu, your mother said she was often dizzy before. I ordered the Imperial Medical Office to search for her ancient books and find some folk remedies for diet therapy, as well as several ways to massage her. Since you have entered the palace, you will take it back for her so that she can keep saying you are unfilial."
Yan Xu was shocked: "My mother is often dizzy? Why don't I know?"
This time, he was blown by Su Shiqi next to him: "The eldest princess is old after all, and her qi and blood are not as sufficient as she was when she was young. In addition, she often worrys about someone who is wandering outside but not going home, so she always has a little headache and fever."
Originally, Su Shiqi was just taking the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction with the unfilial son, but seeing Yan Xu's face showing an unprecedented nervous expression, she turned around and left without saying a word, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After a little hesitation, she bowed her knees to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yan doesn't say anything, but he should still be filial to the eldest princess. He is anxious now. Maybe something will happen to the Imperial Medical Office. Please allow the private girl to come and take a look."
Seeing the emperor nodding happily, Su Shiqi was grateful to the reasonable emperor and quickly turned around and chased Yan Xu.
Since the emperor started using Princess Dongyang to imply Yan Xu, Yue Qianqiu vaguely guessed that people were playing tricks. Although he could make jokes and distract the topic from the past, he could leave Su Shiqi behind even if he was not good, but the emperor was foolish. If you don’t cooperate, you will definitely be missed in the future, so he just pretended not to know anything.
Seeing Yue Qianqiu clearly looked worried, he looked out at Yan Xu and Su Shiqi's backs leaving one after another, as if he wanted to go with him, the emperor coughed and said, "Qianqiu, your master has Miss Su with you. You can take two steps to accompany me and talk."
Yue Qianqiu had long expected such a thing to happen. At this moment, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded hesitantly. Seeing that the emperor who stood up gestured to Chen Wuliang, the middle-aged eunuch who had seen several times tiptoed back down. Before leaving, he gestured to let him get closer, so he simply took the initiative to support the emperor's arm.
Although the emperor was not yet supported and walked, Yue Qianqiu's obedience undoubtedly satisfied him. When two people walked out of the Chuigong Hall, the emperor suddenly asked.
"You are not wrong if you are not in your position and do not plan your affairs. But before, your grandfather was the Minister of Revenue, but he was resentful of the chaos in the Ministry of Justice and even interfered with it. Why didn't you learn from your grandfather when you encountered trouble in Dali Temple?"
The moment he heard the problem, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but secretly scold the emperor for being cunning. But he was just pretending to be young. As soon as he planned, he said seriously: "Grandpa is in the Ministry of Revenue, worried about the world and within his ability. Of course, he should be more involved. But Qianqiu is only seven years old, and this time he went to the case to be tried, and he is too busy to take care of rats."
