Chapter 13 The So-called Butterfly Effect
Many times, some major events often occur because of inconspicuous trivial matters, but no one paid attention to them at that time.
Gao Yanei, a playboy who does evil deeds, was killed in the street, which was just a criminal case. However, the matter was done by the prince Zhao Qi himself, so it is inevitable that someone will be mixed with some more sensitive things.
Just as Zhao Qi was thinking hard about how to save Lin Chong, Liu Xiantang, the young master of Kaifeng Prefecture, was also reporting to Cai Jing like a pug in the study of Duke Wei’s mansion.
Cai Jing has been appointed as prime minister several times, and was personally named Duke of Wei and Grand Tutor by Emperor Huizong. Although he has gradually retreated to the second line due to physical reasons in recent years, he still firmly controls the government.
Since the day when the incident occurred at a high threshold, Liu Xiantang has been reporting the progress of the case to Cai Jing from time to time.
The yamen runners in Kaifeng Prefecture may not have much power, but if you underestimate these people, it would be a big mistake, because the most contacts of these people are the thugs in the market.
So Zhao Qi's actions on the street were not long before they were placed on Cai Jing's desk.
Zhao Qi had never offended Cai Jing, but through this incident, he successfully attracted Cai Jing's attention to him. It turned out that there was such a strange thing among the princes?
The study room was filled with a strong smell of herbal medicine. Because Cai Jing had bad eyes and the light in the room was darker, standing in the study room, there was always a feeling of being breathless.
After Liu Xiantang reported Zhao Qi's activities in recent days to Cai Jing, he stood beside him with his hands down.
"Take Lin Chong to Kaifeng Prefecture Prison"
Cai Jing didn't say much, but every sentence must have a deep meaning.
After hearing the boss's words, Liu Xiantang couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "Master Gao is very dissatisfied with the subordinate because of his subordinate handling the matter of Xiao Feng. Moreover, it is said that Lin Chong was in violation of military discipline. Kaifeng Prefecture came forward, I am afraid that it is..."
"Who said Lin Chong only violated military discipline? You can handle it according to the rules, and someone will do other things."
After saying that, Cai Jing waved his hand.
Liu Xiantang was also an old fry. Cai Jing made a little trick and knew what to do. Seeing that Cai Jing had no other instructions, he quickly bowed and bowed and stepped out.
"Father, are you trying to support His Highness Yi?"
There is not only Cai Jing in the study, but his other son Cai Tao is also there.
Cai Jing's sons were all very knowledgeable. Because of Cai Jing's relationship, they also held important positions in the court. The eldest son even became the Privy Councilor and the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace. Unfortunately, this eldest son was not in dealing with Cai Jing and was always thinking about replacing his father's position.
Because Cai Jing is in poor health, the person who is the real person in charge of the Cai family is this second son Cai Tao.
After hearing his son's words, Cai Jing sighed slightly and said slowly: "The prince is very dissatisfied with being a father. If you want to keep my family rich for a long time, you must prepare for some things early."
"Tomorrow morning, I will find a censor to impeach Gao Qiu for abuse of lynching and contempt the law."
After my father said this, Cai Tao suddenly showed a sudden look and secretly admired her father. It was indeed a scheming person. In this case, Gao Qiu would have to hand over his wife.
From Liu Xiantang, he learned about Zhao Qi's actions. The Cai family's father and son evaluated Zhao Qi as a playboy, impulsive, brainless, and political ambition. Such people should be the best control.
If such a person can replace the crown prince in the future, the Cai family can still continue to call the wind and rain in the court, but the premise is that he must first make up His Royal Highness Yi, who is a little tide.
Yes! If it weren't for a problem with your head, would that prince secretly deal with the thugs in the market?
Zhao Qi suddenly found that there was something wrong with the idea of slapping Li Yan before, because bad people may not be of no use. For example, when Li Yan came forward to rescue Lin Chong, it would definitely be much more useful than him.
I made up my mind and was about to go to the palace to find Li Yan, but I didn't expect Li Yan to come to me on his own initiative.
After hearing the guard's report, Zhao Qi rushed out to greet him immediately, which made Li Yan a little flattered, but his face did not show it.
After bowing and showing his salute, he approached Zhao Qi and whispered: "Your Highness, you must be mentally prepared. Your Majesty invites you to the palace. Your Majesty think about it carefully. What have you done to make Your Majesty angry recently?"
Zhao Qi was shocked. Could it be that he was exposed so quickly? But he was not ready yet!
"Thank you, Lord Li. Someone just gave me some local specialties yesterday. When I look back, I will order someone to send it to your house."
"Haha! Your Highness is so polite. If nothing is wrong, let's go to the palace now. Your Majesty is still waiting!"
Zhao Qi is very good at observing his expression. When he saw Li Yan's expression, he knew that it would not be a big deal for the emperor's father to find him. If the things he did were exposed, Li Yan would not be so relaxed. What would that happen?
At this time, Li Yan looked around and lowered his voice, "The prince just went to find His Majesty."
"Prince?"
Zhao Qi seemed to have some idea, but he had not had a very irritating relationship with Zhao Huan. This kid shouldn't have sued him for his evil behavior, right?
I shook my head and thought to myself that I don’t care. I will just meet the Emperor’s father and adapt to the situation.
He ordered people to pull out his carriage, invited Li Yan to get on his carriage together, and then ordered the coachman to drive to the palace.
"Mr. Li, there are too many things happening these days, and I have never had the opportunity to explain to you what happened that night. Please don't be surprised. Actually, I was kidnapped that night."
After hearing Zhao Qi's words, Li Yan was shocked and hurriedly said, "Why did no one mention such a big thing? How did Your Highness get out of trouble later?"
"It was Lin Chong, the coach of the Imperial Guard, who saved me"...
Zhao Qi told Li Yan about what happened that night, and finally said, "There is a problem now. I want to repay Lin Chong, but I heard that he violated military discipline and was sent to prison by Taiwei Gao. Can Lord Li help me think of a way to rescue Lin Chong?"
Zhao Qi's words were indecent, but Li Yan was not a fool either.
Everyone knows that under normal circumstances, Zhao Qi, as a prince, wanted to retrieve his savior in prison, as he was a prince. He even just went to find Gao Qiu, but this Prince Yi insisted on asking for others. Is Prince Yi so weak and embarrassed to ask for help? Or is there any other hidden information?
This matter is actually not a difficult task for Li Yan. It’s just that this guy is accustomed to not being able to get up early without profit. He can help, but it must be a price.
Thinking of this, Li Yan deliberately frowned and said, "The man Gao Taiwei is not easy to talk to. If he alarms His Majesty, it seems to be a little bit of a big deal. Let me think about it, think about it..."
Zhao Qi knew as soon as he saw Li Yan's expression, he knew that the eunuch Leka was used to it, and everyone wanted to get some benefits, but this was not a problem. It was enough to rescue people, but this guy seemed to be short of money, right?
When he thought of this, another thought suddenly appeared in Zhao Qi's mind.
