"Your Majesty, I am guilty of being in prison, so I will punish you!" Wang Yinglin hurried back after arranging the interrogation, and after meeting, he politely apologized for guilt.

"The prince doesn't have to be too polite. The reason has not been found out yet. Besides, if you deal with all kinds of things every day, you will inevitably have omissions. Don't blame yourself!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and comforted him.

"Your Majesty, the large-scale escaped people appeared in Haozhou. I knew nothing, which shocked the emperor. It was really hard to escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty!" Wang Yinglin bowed again and said with a shame.

"Wang Xiang has been busy for half a day and has no meals, so let's share it with me!" Zhao Bing smiled and waved his hand, asking him not to be busy apologizing, and left the meal to say.

"I thank Your Majesty!" Wang Yinglin was actually a little annoyed by this sudden incident and did not feel hungry. However, after thinking for a while, he felt that it was a rare opportunity to take the opportunity to explain to Your Majesty a little, so he thanked him.

"Your Majesty, I'm leaving!"

"Well, you can go there yourself and report it to me immediately after finding out!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"My subordinates obey the order and will fulfill their mission!"

Since the little emperor was often accompanied by guards and everyone he didn't know, Wang Yinglin noticed the man in his thirties in his tent when he heard him speak. He has been with His Majesty since the Northern Expedition, and he has only seen the man in front of him several times. He is very low-key and never talks much when outsiders are present, so he often ignores his existence and doesn't even know his name.

However, Wang Yinglin also knew that some people in the inner palace were specializing in spying on the people's sentiments and collecting political sentiments for the emperor, but these people's whereabouts were rarely known to outsiders. However, he was disgusted with such people, thinking that their secret things were not done by a gentleman, so he had no intention of making friends. Now, after listening to his conversation with His Majesty, he suddenly realized that this person might be one of them.

Now in this sensitive period, when he was ordered to go out for business, Wang Yinglin was already 80% sure that he was a business in Haozhou. But at this time, he felt less disgusted. He could find out the whole story and give him justice. Therefore, when he nodded by his side, he bowed and gave him away.

Wang Yinglin was a little more respectful to the little emperor's actions. Although he was very angry after learning about the situation, he did not listen to the fugitives and arbitrarily ordered the officials of Haozhou. Instead, he sent people to ask questions from many sources and sent people to the site of the incident to investigate. This shows that the little emperor's actions have become more and more mature and did not do irrational things because of his momentary anger.

"Prince Wang, please go to the side tent for meals!" At this time, the emperor finished his explanation and had already arrived at the back tent to change his clothes. Wang De came to invite him.

"Thank you, the high official!" Wang Yinglin woke up from his daze and went to the side tent with him.

The tent was not big, and two candlelights made the tent clear. The incense to drive away mosquitoes was lit inside. Because the hot curtain had been lifted up, there were only hanging curtains around it, so the tent did not look stuffy. The weeds had been removed on the ground, and felt was spread out to avoid the tide, and a layer of straw mat was laid on it. A soft couch and a low table were placed in the tent, and a few booklets were placed next to it, which was obviously a temporary place for His Majesty to review official documents.

"Please, please wait for a moment!" Wang De let Wang Yinglin sit in front of the short table and handed over a cup of tea.

"Thank you!" Wang Yinglin sat down and said. He knew that His Majesty did not like restraint, and was very casual behind people and did not have so much etiquette. So he sat on the ground with peace of mind. He suddenly felt very cool under his butt, but it was not the coldness like ice and snow, but it made people feel very comfortable and couldn't help but touch it with his hands.

"Wang Xiang, that's the ivory mat. If you feel it's cold, I'll give you a soft cushion!" Wang De asked with concern because he was old and afraid of the cold.

"No, no, this ivory mat is very rare. I have only heard of it in the past, but this is the first time I have seen it. It should be something in the imperial court, right?" Wang Yinglin waved his hand and smiled.

"The young man has been in the palace for more than 30 years and has never seen him in the palace. I just heard that Emperor Gaozong once had a piece. Later, the Mongol Yuan invaded, and thought that even if there were, it had been lost. After returning to Lin'an, someone proposed to re-made the offering. His Majesty said it was too luxurious and he was useless to refuse. This part was seized from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion when he conquered Yangzhou." Wang De replied.

"Oh, so that's it!" Wang Yinglin looked closely and found that the teeth mat had turned slightly yellow, with more signs of wear, and there were also slight damage on the edge of the big red envelope, which was obviously an old thing.

He also knew that the production of ivory mats is different from other ivory products. The process is very complicated, the most difficult and cumbersome process is to split the ivory into thin sheets of thickness, width, width and uniformity, then grind the ivory sheets to create a white luster, then split it into silk, and finally weave it. Since ivory material is textured, the texture is about the curvature of the ivory, and only by following the direction of the ivory texture, it is not easy to break it.

Therefore, it is not easy to saw the ivory into a sheet and a filament under the requirements of the texture. In addition, this processing method is very material-consuming. Split the ivory material into bamboo and then into silk. The utilization rate of ivory materials is less than 10%, which is also the reason why the ivory mat is expensive. With His Majesty's sting, he will naturally not be willing to waste manpower and material resources to make such flashy things.

"Your Majesty issued an order to send the seized items from the Prince of Zhennan back to Lin'an. When he was a little careful, he found this mat. His Majesty was afraid of heat since he was a child, so he kept it privately. For this reason, His Majesty was scolded by him." Wang De explained with a wry smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty has always been frugal and is a role model for all people. We are ashamed!" At this time, a small yellow door had already served dinner, which was just a small bowl of cold noodles. It was served with a bowl of fried meat sauce, accompanied by some seasonal vegetables and pickled pickles. There was no wine or other dishes, so it was more refined than that of Xiaokang people. To put it bluntly, it was not as good as the meals at home. Wang Yinglin couldn't help but sigh.

"It smells so good!" Just as the two of them were talking, Zhao Bing turned into the tent, sniffed and said with a smile, "Wang Xiang is hungry, are you? These foods in summer are the most appetizing, so you must use more!"

"Your Majesty, I am disrespectful!" Wang Yinglin also quickly stood up and bowed, and said with a smile.

"The Master said: Don't eat or speak. Let's talk before we eat enough, so there is no need to be so polite!" Zhao Bing asked him to sit down and said with a smile.

Wang Yinglin was a little amused and cried. He thought that the little emperor had something to say with him while he was having dinner, but he didn't know if he was really hungry or forgot what he had just said, which forced him to hold back all the prepared words. But he found that the little emperor might be really hungry, and he served the mixed noodles one by one, and he didn't put down the chopsticks until he ate four bowls. But he barely finished one bowl, but he didn't feel hungry when he had something in his heart, and could not eat it anymore. Seeing that His Majesty put down the bowl and chopsticks, he quickly put it down.

"Prince Wang, do you know about Zhang Zhizhou, Raozhou?" After the meal, Xiaohuangmen cleaned up the dishes and sent hot tea. Wang De knew that the two had something to say, so he asked the idle people to withdraw from the offender. Zhao Bing took a sip of tea and asked Wang Yinglin sitting opposite him.

"Your Majesty, I have some understanding of it!" Wang Yinglin nodded and said, "Zhang Song, the magistrate of Raozhou, whose courtesy name is Jingyi, was from Wuzhou. He was enrolled in the prefecture school, but he was unable to participate in the imperial examination because of the invasion of the Mongol Yuan. In the fifth year of Xiangxing, he and a group of scholars crossed south to Qiongzhou to return to the court, participated in the imperial examination and entered the official position. He served as the military officer of Wanzhou and promoted the official position. Because of his excellent examination, he was transferred to the county magistrate of Lingao and the county magistrate. After recovering Jiangnan, he returned to Jiangnan with the dynasty and served as the magistrate of Lianzhou. He was elected among the officials who were selected into Huai and appointed as the governor of Haozhou."

"Oh, he was a scholar from the court. He started as an official in the imperial examination. He could be a magistrate for many years. It should be a talent. How could he do such a hasty thing?" Zhao Bing looked at him and frowned.

Wang Yinglin was able to tell Zhang Song's resume so clearly. Zhao Bing felt that either the two had old friends, or that this person had outstanding talents, or that he knew that he had to ask for something to make up for it first. But he did not believe that Wang Yinglin would be favored because of this. After all, the court had undergone several rectifications at that time, the corruption trend had been curbed, and he was not an official of the Ministry of Personnel, so he had no right to inquire about the selection of officials. As for old friends, it was not surprising that they knew each other in such a big place in Qiongzhou.

"I also find it strange." Wang Yinglin also said inexplicably, "As far as I know, Zhang Song is still very talented. He does not need to be published in the matter of joining the army to do the local people. When serving as a prosecutor, he can also enforce the law impartially and never have any faults. After being transferred to the magistrate, whether it is resettlement of refugees to the court or to promote farming, land reclamation and land reclamation, the matter involving slander is also properly handled, and there are many people's voices. After returning to Jiangnan, he can also cooperate with the chief officials to promote the government affairs, suppress rebellion, appease the people, recruit soldiers, collect taxes and grains, and have no mistakes. However, this time, he violated the laws of the court in Haozhou, which caused panic and caused a large number of people to escape. It is difficult for people to believe what he did in the past. I think it must be a cause."

"I think it's just that there is a reason for the matter, but it triggers a large number of people in the jurisdiction to escape, so it is hard to blame." Zhao Bing had already heard Wang Yinglin's intention to excuse him, but even if it was not the case, the facts had caused it, which not only had bad effects, but also caused many casualties of the fugitives. As the chief official, Zhang Song had to bear the responsibility, and the court would inevitably punish him, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public. Therefore, he had to set aside the tone to avoid showing mercy in the investigation and punishment.

"Your Majesty, I understand that I will definitely handle this matter fairly, but it's a pity that a talent!" How could Wang Yinglin not see the emperor's attitude? Zhang Song was doomed regardless of right or wrong this time, and he couldn't help but feel very regretful.

"So without further ado, Wang immediately suspended him and summoned him to the capital to wait for disposal. He would select another officer to go to Haozhou to appease the people and save the situation!" Zhao Bing said in a deep voice...
