Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth imperial prison
The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi was stunned when he heard Qian Yiai asking to see the emperor. In the past, Qian Yiai mostly visited the prince, or went to the palace to see his concubine's sister. It was the first time he wanted to see the emperor today.
However, Qian Yiai's waist card was given by the emperor, and he could see the emperor. The little flag didn't say anything, and gave it to a small yellow door next to him for him to enter the notice.
After a while, news came from the Kung Fu Palace that the emperor could see him.
Qian Yiai was happy when she heard this news. What he was afraid of was that the emperor would not see him, and as long as he could see the emperor, there would be hope.
Zhu Hongsan just finished lunch and sat in the room and watched Qian Yiai come in to salute. Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, why did you come to see me today? Didn't you go to see your sister?"
"Your Majesty, I am here today because I have something to ask Your Majesty for help!" Qian Yiai because I, Qian Qianyi, has the fame of a thousand households of Jinyiwei, which means I enjoy the treatment of a thousand households, so I can be called a small minister when I see the emperor.
Zhu Hongsan knew what Qian Yiai was going to do when he heard that Qian Yiai said, but Zhu Hongsan was not ready to give him a chance to speak.
"You are here just right, brother-in-law. I have something interesting to tell you here!"
Zhu Hongsan started to have a quarrel with Qian Yiai, but he just didn't let Qian Yiai talk.
Qian Yiai looked at the emperor with a slight confusion and refused to let him speak. She was really anxious, but it was really disrespectful to the emperor to interrupt himself.
In the end, Qian Yihao easily caught a chance for Zhu Hongsan to drink water and quickly said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask Your Majesty to pardon Chen today!"
Qian Yiai knew that opportunities were not easy, and she didn’t have any prefixes, so she just talked about them.
After hearing Qian Yiai's words, Zhu Hongsan put down the teacup and looked at Qian Yiai with a smile on his face.
Qian Yiai looked at the emperor without saying anything, and felt a little nervous. He knew that Zhu Hongsan was moody and that the emperor was very likely to be imprisoned. However, when Qian Yiai thought of her youngest son, she gritted her teeth and had no choice but to be strong to the end.
The emperor in the huge Wenhua Hall did not speak, nor did the guards and eunuchs in the room could not speak, and there was no sound in the hall for a moment.
Eight tall generals stood at the gate of Wenhua Palace. They looked at Qian Yiai and thought that the emperor's brother-in-law would be in trouble.
After a long time, Zhu Hongsan's laughter rang out from the hall: "Hehehe, Qian Yiai, you are so brave! Let's do this, you go to the prison to see Chen Zizhuang first!"
Qian Yiai felt nervous when she heard the emperor say this. He just wanted to plead for his wife Chen. He didn't expect the emperor to let him see Chen Zizhuang. Did the emperor want to spare Chen Zizhuang? Qian Yiai knew that Chen Zizhuang was framed by Ma Mingyuan and went to the imperial prison. If the emperor pardoned Chen Zizhuang because of his pardon, Ma Mingyuan would definitely resent him. The prospects were not good. But there was no way to save his wife, so he had to take care of him first! Qian Yiai gritted his teeth, bowed to receive the imperial edict, and went to the imperial prison to visit Chen Zizhuang.
The Jinyiwei Yamen is located in Qianbulang, but the official name of the Jinyiwei Yamen is not the Jinyiwei Command Department, but the Personal Military Commander. Its main function is to "master the direct guards, patrol and arrest". The head of the army is called the Jinyiwei Commander, so the Personal Military Commander is abbreviated as the Jinyiwei.
Now the commander of the Jinyiwei is Qian Lide. As the emperor's young master, Lao Qian naturally has a lot of power. In addition, the Jinyiwei has become the actual military intelligence bureau, and there are strongholds of Jinyiwei in all provinces in the north and south. Therefore, although Qian Lide is just a third-rank military officer, his power is no less than that of the cabinet master.
Qian Yiai left Wenhua Hall, and the eunuch wrote the emperor's orders into the imperial edict and handed them over to Qian Yiai. The ancient Chinese bureaucratic system was no worse than later generations. The emperor's orders must be kept in writing, and it is impossible for any oral decrees in later TV dramas to appear. Today, this is still the imperial edict, only two copies, one for the foreign dynasty department and one for the palace archives for search. If it is an imperial edict, it is a triple copy, and one for the National Archives of the Censorate.
Qian Yiai took the imperial edict to the Qianbulang personal army commander's mansion. Because he is now an imperial envoy in the actual sense, he met Qian Lide unimpededly.
When Qian Lide heard that it was the emperor's order, he quickly knelt down to receive the order. When he saw Qian Yiai going to the imperial prison to question Chen Zizhuang, Qian Lide quickly said, "Please sit down for a while, so let's make arrangements!"
Qian Lide shouted to the people outside: "Come on, go and call Wang Xian!"
After a while, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Wang Xian, entered the house. Wang Xian was demoted to the commander-in-chief on behalf of Qian Lide in the Zhoushan Islands. However, Lao Qian was sorry for his direct descendants. When he was interrogating the nobles of the previous dynasty, he restored Wang Xian's official position to the commander-in-chief.
Wang Xian entered the house and bowed and said, "Sir, what's the matter with me?"
"Wang Xian, this is the young master of Master Qian. Mr. Qian is ordered by His Majesty to go to the imperial prison to ask Chen Zizhuang a few words. You can accompany Mr. Qian!"
He did not use the second in command of the Jinyiwei to accompany Qian Yiai. When Qian Yiai heard Qian Lide say this, he quickly stood up and delayed, "Sir, how dare you trouble Tongzhi, you have a small school to guide you!"
"Mr. Qian, we are not outsiders. Aren't you still a thousand households in our Jinyiwei? Don't refuse. Wang Xian, do you know that you must protect Mr. Qian?"
In fact, Qian Lide did not have to send Wang Xian. He mainly wanted to know what the emperor wanted to ask Chen Zizhuang.
Qian Yiai saw that the postponement was postponed, so she had to agree to Wang Xian to accompany him.
The imperial prison of the Jinyiwei was under the jurisdiction of the Nanzhenfusi. It was not on the side of the imperial city, but near Dingjiaqiao in the north city. It is far away from the downtown area, and it is not afraid of being spread by any torture. Moreover, it is not far from the military camp, and there is also a response.
Qian Yiai came to the gate of Zhaozhu accompanied by Wang Xian. This was not a good place. There was no one around the gate for hundreds of meters. Even if pedestrians passed by, they would take a detour from afar.
The person in charge of the imperial prison was Zhao Mengguan, the governor of the Jinyiwei. Lao Zhao made great contributions from Jiangxi and returned to Guangdong. The emperor praised him for being promoted to the first level, and became a governor of the governor. Although Zhao Mengguan became an official, he was not happy at all, because Wang Xian, who was also a thousand households, was directly promoted to three levels after returning, becoming the commander and commander, and in charge of the Nanzhen Fu Office, he became his superior. You must know that the two of them had fourteen thousand households in the first half of the year.
But Zhao Mengguan had no choice. Who asked Wang Xian to have someone above him? Wang Xian was born into the first group of emperors, a true disciple of the emperor, and was also the direct commander Qian Lide, who could not compare with him.
Originally, Zhao Mengguan wanted to take Chen Zizhuang's path. After all, Zhao Mengguan's hometown is in Dongguan and is half a fellow villager with Chen Zizhuang. But he didn't expect that a disaster would come from heaven. Chen Zizhuang fell down before he could help him. Zhao Mengguan, who learned the news, was even more scared to death. He was a Guangdong native, and was mingling among the noble Jinyiwei, who was all the nobles of Huguang. He was really looking for death.
So when Chen Zizhuang was imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Prison, Zhao Mengguan was so scared that he didn't dare to visit him. He didn't even dare to take care of him, for fear that Qian Lide would catch his braid.
Today, Zhao Mengguan heard Wang Xian bringing the imperial envoy to the imperial prison and quickly led all officials of the imperial prison out to greet him.
When Zhao Mengguan saw Wang Xian, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "The emperor is the one who pays homage to Wang Tongzhi and the imperial envoy!" Zhao Mengguan was so angry that he was at the same level as Wang Xian, but now he still wanted to kowtow to him.
Wang Xian didn't care about Zhao Mengguan and asked directly: "Is it good to offend Chen Zizhuang?"
"If you say to Tongzhi, the imperial prisoner has been very good these days, and his subordinates dare not deduct the daily supply!" Political prisoners like Chen Zizhuang will not be punished as long as they do not have the emperor's orders, and they must not lose any daily meals, because these imperial prisoners are all senior officials in the court. Who knew that the emperor was happy that day, so the Jinyiwei has always taken good care of these political prisoners. Of course, there is another saying that there is an emperor's special order.
Wang Xian sneered: "Of course, Lord Zhao is a fellow villager of Qin's offender, so he naturally takes good care of him!"
Zhao Mengguan was sarcastic by Wang Xian and did not dare to speak, but just kept kowtowing.
"Forget it, get up. Today, Your Majesty has issued an order. If you want to ask Chen Zizhuang, you can lead the way!"
Qian Yiai saw this, Wang Xian wanted to follow him and quickly said, "Mr. Wang, there is no need to go inside, I can go there myself!"
"This is not possible. The commander said that you must ensure the safety of Mr. Qian. There is nothing to do with the officials, just accompany him!"
"Mr. Wang, I will ask for a question alone according to the emperor's order. Someone next to me is really inconvenient. Please ask Lord Wang to avoid it!" Qian Yiai saw that Wang Xian insisted on following him, so she had no choice but to carry the emperor out.
Wang Xian did not see the order, and he didn't know whether the emperor's separate question was true or false, but he gave him a hundred courage and did not dare to go back to the palace to ask the emperor. Wang Xian had no choice but to laugh: "Since you are so appointed, you won't accompany you! Zhao Mengguan, take Mr. Qian in, don't eavesdrop, if you eavesdrop, you will cut your ears!"
Zhao Mengguan nodded repeatedly and introduced Qian Yiai to the imperial prison.
When Qian Yiai heard Wang Xian say that, she realized that the humble little official in front of her was Zhao Mengguan. He knew that Jin Shenghuan had made great contributions in Jiangxi, so why has he become the head of a prison now?
Seeing that there was no one around, Qian Yiai asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you Zhao Mengguan and Zhao Qianhu, who was instigating Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi?"
Zhao Mengguan lowered his head and sighed, whispering: "Young Master Qian, you are the villain!"
"Didn't you make meritorious service? I heard that you were promoted to the tutor of the tutor, why did you come to the Zhao Prison?" The Zhao Prison was under the jurisdiction of the Nangongfu Department. The prison heads here are only a thousand households. Now, it is really useless to manage officials at the level of the tutor of the tutor.
Zhao Mengguan sighed and said, "There is no way, I can only blame the villain's parents for not being able to do their best and not live the villain in Huguang!"
