【Chapter 10】All the powers in the world are gentry
Yueqi had only one son named Yuefu. When the Huns invaded the Bingzhou border, it was when Chang Meng's military broke out. Yueqi led his only son Yuefu to fight on the battlefield. The battle was dangerous. The veteran general Yueqi died tragically. His son Yuefu was rescued by Jiang Chengyi in time. He is currently cultivating in the Kuaiji Water Pavilion. Yuefu was in the Xiongnu grassland Qihuns, which invaded the lungs and there was no medicine to cure this poison. Only Qin Ye's master had an answer to this poison.
After Jiang Chengyi saved Qin Ye, he took him to visit the saint of moxibustion and treatment who was famous during the Ming Dynasty. After a long time of grinding, the old Taoist took Qin Ye as his disciple. When he was about to ask about the solution to Huoyan Poison, he learned that the old Taoist had a marriage with the Yue family and was unwilling to teach the detoxification method. However, after Jiang Chengyi and Qin Ye were chasing him, the old Taoist finally let go and told them that he had a book left in the imperial doctor's palace, which recorded the detoxification method of Huoyan Poison. As for what method was, the old Taoist refused to say it again.
After that, the old Taoist traveled around and no more. Qin Ye learned the true teachings of the old Taoist and had long been famous for his acupuncture. Jiang Chengyi took this to take him to the capital, intending to find an opportunity to let Qin Ye enter the palace, find records from the strange book, and treat the fire poison in Yue Fu's body.
As for Qin Ye's true identity, it was that Lu Sheng, the son of Lu Yu, the eldest brother who died in his early years, was regarded as a parent-child by Lu Yu. When Chang Mengjun committed a bloody crime, he was only twelve years old, less than sixteen years old, and underage, and escaped the beheading. Later, when he was confiscated as a slave and exiled to the frontier, he was rescued by Jiang Chengyi and Jiang Chengjia, and then he entered the Water Pavilion.
Jiang Chengyi closed his eyes and looked back at the past, and his thoughts became more and more complicated.
Mu Yun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Didn't Qin Ye have an engagement when he was a child? Meng Zhi, I think, maybe I can go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen of the City... discuss with her, maybe let the Queen of the City come forward and send Qin Ye back... is a way he can't refuse."
Jiang Chengyi was stunned and said, "Empress Cheng? What she said... Will Qin Ye listen?"
Mu Yun frowned and shook his head and said, "Left and right, if you go to the palace, Qin Ye may not have heard what you said, leaving the palace and returning to the palace, or evacuated the capital and returned to Kuaiji. But the Empress of the City is Qin Ye's old friend... It's better, let's give it a try. Maybe Qin Ye can be convinced?"
Jiang Chengyi hesitated and said, "It's just...if you are allowed to enter the palace... it's really dangerous to meet the city queen. I don't want you to be involved too much in the human court."
But Mu Yun smiled and said, "Solve these things for you as soon as possible... I can also wait for you to return to the Ninth Heaven as soon as possible and hold a grand wedding for me, right? Am I still waiting for you to marry me with the Ten Mile Red Makeup?"
When Jiang Chengyi saw her showing two small tiger teeth and squint at her, her complex mood eased a little.
He nodded gently and said, "That's good. But you must be careful when you enter the mansion. I have told you all the detailed works of the Huai King, Deng and Fu in the palace... You must avoid these palace maids, so that the palace servants can talk to the city queen."
Mu Yun nodded solemnly and said, "I know, don't worry, I will be careful again and again."
Jiang Chengyi said softly, then immediately pulled Mu Yun back to the study, first wrote down the prayer letter for entering the palace, and then ordered Xue Qing to hand it into the palace. Finally, he gave her a few more instructions, and then he completely relieved.
The next day, after Jiang Chengyi's morning court, he and Mu Yun drove a ox cart to the palace together, entered the side door and walked through the path to the deep palace, and walked in a separate way, one heading towards the Nangong and the other heading towards the Changqiu Palace and the Jiaofang Hall of the City Queen.
Jiang Chengyi went to the Nanyu Palace where Emperor Wei lived in autumn and winter to report that he had mentioned more than two months ago that Gu An was safe and sound in the Jiang family, and joined forces to secretly investigate Song Zong, and found in Guangxin that other gentry participated in this secret transaction.
For half a month, he has been busy investigating the explosion case and has never had time to tell Emperor Wei about these things.
At this time, I entered the Nanyu Palace and the prince happened to be there.
When the young man saw him coming, his eyes were fixed on him. His heroic eyebrows were a little tender and frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
These days, Emperor Wei has been in a state of uncertainty and his health is not very good. Although Qin Ye is taking care of his health, due to heavy government affairs, the explosion of the Deng Mansion’s private house and the incident of Emperor Song Zong were always pale and had a sick look.
The prince served in the palace for half a month and had not seen his teacher for many days. At this moment, he was both worried and surprised.
What is worried is that the culprit behind the explosion is still clueless. What is surprising is that I can finally see the teacher for so many days.
Jiang Chengyi entered the hall and first bowed to the Emperor of Wei and the Crown Prince according to the etiquette. Then he returned to the ground and waited for the Emperor of Wei to call him up.
There was a moment of silence in the Nanyu Palace.
Emperor Wei said quietly: "Jiang Qing entered the palace today, but is there a clue behind the culprit of the Deng Yuan's private explosion?"
Jiang Chengyi held his breath and concentrated, slowly raised his head, and said calmly: "Report to Your Majesty... This case is still difficult to break through... I am still investigating."
Emperor Wei snorted coldly and said, "Jiang Qing is known as the talent of Qilin and is also famous in the literary world. He is the best in talent and knowledge. How could an explosion trap Jiang Qing now? I look at you, and my face has not been very good recently. It seems that the investigation of the case is very unsatisfactory?"
Jiang Chengyi lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "I agreed to Your Majesty that this case will be found before New Year's Day, and His Majesty will definitely not worry you."
Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows and said a little annoyed: "Then...what is Jiang Qing coming today?"
Then Jiang Chengyi raised his eyes and met the eyes of Emperor Wei and said, "I am here to report to Emperor Song."
Emperor Wei looked at him in surprise and said, "Song Zong?"
The young emperor then turned his eyes, raised his brows on one side, and chuckled, "I know what you want to report...Mr. Chiang also told me in his report. He and Gu An pretended to be captured by Meng Jian, but in fact they made plans with you. They used nearly four months to uproot Meng Jian and Song Zong in Guangzhou, and solved the source of the chaos. "
Jiang Chengyi naturally knew that Jiang Gong had mentioned him in his memorial according to Ning Nan's worries, and fabricated the causes and consequences in both true and false.
However, the account book of the private sale of soldiers who Jiang Chengjia sent someone a month and a half ago made him particularly concerned.
He had ordered people to carefully investigate the records in the transcript of this account book and confirmed that this incident was indeed the case. The investigation over the past month made him convinced that the account book was not fake, which made him bring this item into the palace today and want to present it to the Emperor of Wei.
Seeing that he was silent, Emperor Wei lowered his eyes and didn't know what to think, so he continued: "Jiang Qing's Linhe incident has indeed made great contributions. Not only has the Jiang family and even Gu An escaped from the tricks set by the emperor's uncle, but he also took the lead from Zeng Yu, eliminating a big trouble, and taking the opportunity to eradicate the joint embezzlement of the arms of Song Zong and Meng Jian for many years. If today is a reward, I am willing to fulfill it..."
This gloomy and sick young emperor now had a pair of sharp eyes like a vulture, always guarding against the young man in front of him who was a few years younger than him, full of distrust.
Jiang Chengyi's strategy was really shocking and amazing. This forced the Emperor of Wei to doubt whether such a person could be controlled? If he helps him get rid of Ning Zheng in the future and take back the complete collection of the gentry, and gradually become a powerful figure like Deng or Ning Zheng, he will become a person that the prince cannot control after ascending the throne.
He was afraid that his son would experience all the things he had experienced in the future. He would endlessly compete with the gentry and the power of the blood relatives.
Jiang Chengyi, who had never spoken, opened his mouth at this time. His eyes slowly lowered up again, and then took out a few volumes from his arms. Then he presented it to him with both hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am here today not to seek credit, but to give this item to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will reform the new policy... weaken the power of local gentry, otherwise it will cause a great disaster in the future."
Emperor Wei frowned and looked at the book like an account book in Jiang Chengyi's hand, with a little confused.
Then he ordered Cui Qian to take him.
Cui Qian carefully took the book from Jiang Chengyi's hand, bent down and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor opened the book and glanced through a rough picture. He was surprised to find that there were actually copies of the records of recruiting soldiers and horses. So he was shocked and said, "What is this?"
Jiang Chengyi then spoke: "While the Linhe party, the sister, took the opportunity to sneak out of the command mansion of Huaiyin Hou, and took her maid Qianshan to Guangxin alone to assist Jiang Gong and Gu An to investigate and collect evidence of Song Zong's crimes. Finally, in Guangxin, the chief base of Song Zong, he found that Song Zong not only contacted Ning Zheng privately in recent years, but also contacted various gentry clans. Through the transaction of the secret village, they continued to accumulate money and recruit soldiers and horses... Among them, the Fu family and the Qinghe Ma family were the leaders of the matter... This account book is the evidence of the Fu family and the Ma family recruiting soldiers and horses."
The emperor was shocked and said, "Is this true?"
Jiang Chengyi said with great certainty: "It's true. When the sister-in-law handed the account book to me, I had ordered the spies from the Qianji Department of the Water Pavilion to conduct a detailed investigation. After a month of careful search and investigation, it almost confirmed that the records in the account book were all true."
The emperor said frightened: "Fu and Ma want to rebel?"
