Chapter 150 The king and his ministers get along well with each other
Two days later, in the study room of the main hall of Jingyang Palace.
Jiang Shiying wrote down today's rebirth mantra one stroke at a time, calmly and attentively.
After finishing copying, she suddenly thought of something and asked: "Is it nineteen today?"
Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's already April 19th."
Jiang Shiying put down her pen, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Counting the days, it's time for my uncle to arrive in Beijing.
As soon as I came out of the study, a young eunuch came to tell me that Eunuch Yao was here.
She raised her eyebrows. An hour ago, Yao Xingde came to tell her that Lu Zhaolin would come to Jingyang Palace for dinner in the evening.
It hasn't been long, why is it here again?
A suspicion flashed through my mind, but I said, "Please come in."
As soon as he entered the door, Yao Xingde saluted: "Slave, please see the pure concubine."
"Eunuch Yao is exempt from the courtesy." Jiang Shiying said, "But what are your orders?"
Yao Xingde had a smile on his face: "Your Majesty asked this servant to convey a message to the empress. I'm afraid I won't be able to come to Jingyang Palace for dinner tonight."
"Oh?" Jiang Shiying raised her eyes and looked at him.
Yao Xingde said: "Your Majesty, Lord Xin Wu, is coming to the capital today. Your Majesty will leave Hou Xin Wu to have dinner at Ganquan Palace in the evening."
A smile appeared on Jiang Shiying's lips, she nodded and said, "This is business."
Yao Xingde's face blossomed into a smile: "That's what I said."
Jiang Shiying said again: "Marquis Xinwu has returned to the capital. I think your majesty is very happy and will inevitably drink a few more drinks at dinner. Please keep an eye on your majesty, Eunuch Yao, and don't let your majesty get hurt by drinking too much."
Yao Xingde said sternly: "I don't have to worry about it, my slave. Don't worry, my queen."
When Marquis Xinwu entered the capital for the first time, Lu Zhaolin sent an internal eunuch in advance to wait for him thirty miles outside the city gate.
After entering the capital, he took him directly to the Xinwuhou Mansion given by the emperor.
At the end of Shen Shi, the palace sent someone to the Hou Mansion to take him into the palace.
The front hall of Ganquan Palace.
"I pay my respects to your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe."
Lu Zhaolin sat high up on the table, his good mood revealed from the corners of his brows and eyes: "Ai Qing, please be free and give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Marquis Xinwu raised his head to thank him, but instead of getting up from the ground, he kowtowed again.
"Why don't you afford your love?" Lu Zhaolin asked.
Marquis Xinwu straightened his upper body and said, "Is this minister guilty?"
Lu Zhaolin was leaning on the back of the chair. Hearing this, he leaned forward and asked, "What crime is Ai Qing guilty of?"
Marquis Xinwu said: "I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"Oh?" Lu Zhaolin's expression turned cold.
I heard Wu Hou say: "Wei Qingzhou is not my real name. My real name is Zhou Qingwei. Wei Qingzhou is my pseudonym."
Lu Zhaolin's expression softened and he asked, "Why doesn't Aiqing use her real name but a pseudonym?"
Until this time, he still called her "Aiqing".
Marquis Xinwu said: "I am trying to avoid being chased by my enemies. I am afraid that if my real name is revealed, my enemies will discover me."
Lu Zhaolin narrowed his eyes slightly. In recent years, Xinwuhou people have not dared to use their real names at the border and in the army. It can be seen that his enemy must have high officials and generous salaries in the court.
He asked: "Who is your enemy?"
Marquis Xinwu replied: "It was the former Qingyang Marquis' Mansion and now the Qingyang Bo's Mansion."
Lu Zhaolin put one hand on his forehead and said, "Please tell me in detail about this matter."
After Xinwuhou kowtowed again, he said: "Weichen is from the capital, and his family has a bodyguard agency called Canghai Bodyguard Agency.
Sixteen years ago, my father took a bodyguard and escorted the mother and son to Pingjiang Mansion in the south.
The escort agency was not busy during those days, and Pingjiang Mansion was a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.
My father simply took all the escorts in the escort agency, as well as our whole family, on this escort trip. I am planning to spend some time there after arriving in Pingjiang Prefecture.
Unexpectedly, after leaving Beijing and walking for most of the day, I encountered a group of masked men in black clothes.
They have great kung fu and are by no means ordinary ruthless bandits.
My father and others were defeated, and I accidentally fell down the cliff, but fell into the river and was rescued.
After I recovered from my injuries, I quietly sneaked back to the area where I was attacked and found that all traces had been cleaned up.
Chen quietly entered the capital and found that someone was secretly watching the escort agency and Chen's house.
The minister was so weak that he had no choice but to change his name and leave the capital.
Over the years, I have been sending people to investigate secretly, and finally found the culprit of what happened that year, none other than Qingyang Bofu. "
After he finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.
After a long while, I heard Lu Zhaolin ask: "Qingyang Uncle's Mansion, why did you want to rob the escort?"
Marquis Xinwu said: "It was only after years of investigation that I discovered that the mother and son escorted by the escort were the concubine of Yin Pingguang, the governor of Luzhou at that time, and the son of that concubine."
Lu Zhaolin frowned slightly and looked at Yao Xingde: "Yin Pingguang, the governor of Changzhou? This name seems familiar."
Yao Xingde said: "Sixteen years ago, Yin Pingguang was executed by the late emperor in the Luzhou imperial examination fraud case, and no family was left."
Lu Zhaolin's expression became serious. The imperial examination fraud case was second only to rebellion in all dynasties.
He originally thought that Xin Wuhou's incident was just a family vendetta, but he didn't expect that it would be involved in a major imperial examination case more than ten years ago?
He said: "Keep talking."
Marquis Xinwu said: "Yin Pingguang was beheaded as the main culprit in the imperial examination case, but there was someone hiding behind him, who is now Uncle Qingyang.
Yin Pingguang was involved in the imperial examination case and knew that no matter whether he was the mastermind or an accomplice, the Yin family would not get better no matter what.
But he also had an outhouse in the capital, which gave birth to a son.
However, this matter was caught by Qingyang Bofu.
If Yin Pingguang wanted to keep his son, he had to completely take the blame for the mastermind on behalf of Uncle Qingyang.
But after Yin Pingguang's death, the Qingyang House was still worried and wanted to eradicate the root cause.
The minister's family, as well as the bodyguards in the bodyguard bureau, were the victims of the fire at the city gate. "
Lu Zhaolin's fingers tapped regularly on the desk.
After a while, I heard him ask: "Do you have any evidence about this?"
Marquis Xinwu said: "The evidence is conclusive."
Lu Zhaolin ordered: "Yao Xingde, help Marquis Xin Wu to rise and give him a seat."
"Your Majesty?" Marquis Xinwu looked at him.
Lu Zhaolin said: "The change of name is not your fault, but your contribution is real. How could I blame you for such a trivial matter?"
Hearing this, Marquis Xinwu, a brave general with a full beard, his eyes turned red.
He kowtowed again, and Yao Xingde felt a headache hearing the sound.
Just listen to him say: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness. Your Majesty is magnanimous. I am willing to die for your Majesty and for the Jin Dynasty, and my liver and brain will be wiped out!"
After saying that, he stood up with Yao Xingde's help.
Lu Zhaolin nodded happily, and then said: "Yao Xingde, ask Wu Desi to go to Qingyang House to pick up the person and take him to Dali Temple Prison."
He looked at Marquis Xinwu again: "Please give the evidence of your love to Dali Temple. Once the Dali Temple trial is completed, I will never spare Qingyang's residence lightly."
After hearing this, Marquis Xinwu knelt on his knees again and made a great salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Just now his eyes were red, but now there was a cry in his voice.
This time, Lu Zhaolin got up personally and walked to the hall to help him up.
The monarch and his ministers held hands and forgot about each other. Lu Zhaolin smiled and said: "Ai Qing, a man of eight feet tall and a brave general, how can he still cry?"
Xin Wuhou said sincerely: "I am grateful for your majesty's kindness, and I am also happy that the great hatred in my family is about to be avenged. I lost my temper for a moment. Please forgive me for my sin."
Lu Zhaolin just laughed: "Ai Qing showed her true feelings, what's the crime?"
After saying that, he ordered Yao Xingde, "Let me serve you good wine and good food. I want to have a good drink with Marquis Xinwu tonight!"
