Biquge www.mtlnovel.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter in the 14th year of Chenghua!

The person who stopped Tang Fan was Zhou Jing, but it was not an unknown junior.

The other party is the husband of the princess of Chongqing, who is now in charge of the clan’s government, and is now the most prestigious relative.

The princess of this dynasty, like the former Song Xiao, has a very weak sense of existence, and it is not uncommon to marry someone and obscure the loss of the husband and wife and the final depression. However, this Chongqing princess is an exception, because she is also from the Empress Zhou. Tianzi’s sister, only this level of identity, is enough to make people look at each other differently.

The princess’s life is also good. She has a good temperament when marrying a husband-in-law. She is not as bad as an ordinary reader. She is also a handsome young man when she was young. She has a good eye, and the princess has a good relationship with the pony. For more than a dozen years, he is a loving couple whom everyone in the clan admires.

“Zhou Ma is well. Last time, it was still a matter of the Dachao meeting. Looking at you with a good spirit, do you want to have a good time?”

Zhou Jing is naturally different from cheap relatives like Wantong. Even Tang Fan didn’t dare to see him when he saw him, and quickly greeted him in the sedan chair.

But he was very strange in his heart, because although the two knew each other, but they rarely communicated, Zhou Jingwei was cautious and decisive, but today he suddenly made a move to stop people on the street, which is out of the question.

“What a refreshing spirit!” Zhou Jing smiled bitterly and pulled Tang Fan aside: “Tang Ge Lao, I’m here to ask you for help!”

Tang Fan was even more surprised when he heard it: “Zhou Ma’s words were serious!”

Zhou Jing snorted: “We don’t tell secret words, the situation is urgent, I won’t go around with you, really don’t hide, it’s something wrong with my family!”

Tang Fan: “Princess House?”

Zhou Jing: “Exactly, what about me … cough, because of an incident in the past two days, I had a big fight with the princess. I heard that Tangge’s case was broken like a god, so I wanted to hear you go and break it for us Lest the princess wrong me! “

Although the princess of Chongqing has been favored, since she married Zhou, she has treated her uncle aunt for several weeks, and she has not cherished her pets. It is very commendable, not to mention making a big noise with the pony. Zhou Jing ran to find himself, which is really strange.

Although Tang Fan likes to explore the truth, he definitely doesn’t want to mix things up with other couples. As the saying goes, it is difficult for the official to break the housework. Later, when the couple quarrels at the head of the bed and the end of the bed. Wry smile: “I can’t help you, you still have to ask Gao Ming!”

Finally, free the sleeve from Zhou Jing, and turn around to slip away.

As a result, Zhou Jing moved faster than him. He grabbed his arm and exerted great force, making Tang Fan feel that if he broke free again, he was afraid that even the official robe would have to be pulled down, and he had to stop. “Zhou Qima , You and the princess are husband and wife. If you have anything to sit down and talk about, it will rain and clear. Why do you make things bigger and bigger? I’m afraid I can’t help you! “

Zhou Jing said angrily: “You haven’t listened to me yet, how do you know it won’t help you!”

Tang Fan’s helplessness: “You see my wind chill is not good yet, and we are rushing home, can we talk about it again?”

What a joke, the princess and the pony quarrel, he didn’t want to blend in at all!

Zhou Jing said: “It’s easy to handle, you go to my house now, I will let someone prepare a good banquet on the table, I will tell you slowly, in short, let me meet you today, you have to help Think of an idea! Old Tangge, just when I beg you, if you let the princess go down again, there will be no place for my old face to pass! “

These soft and hard words made Tang Fan cry and laugh, and he couldn’t refuse if he wanted to refuse, because people were pulling his sleeves.

Tang Fan sighed: “Is it really necessary to go?”

Zhou Jing said flatly: “No!”

The two pulled and pulled on the street, and their identities were unusual. It attracted a lot of attention. Seeing that if they did not go, they would have to recruit even the soldiers and horses of the five cities. Tang Fan could only give in and let The bearer went back to make a report, and then got into Zhou Jing’s carriage.

The carriage of the Princess Palace is spacious enough, and the two big men are more than enough to sit on. There is a thick satin mattress underneath, and he can hardly feel the bumps of the wheels on the road, but Tang Fan is not in the mood because he has just been in A cold wind blew outside, and now suddenly came to the warm carriage, and immediately couldn’t help sneezing, tears flowing.

Zhou Jing glanced at him with concern, and said: “Tang Ge is very young and can take care of his body!”

Tang Fan covered his mouth with a veil and rolled his eyes secretly.

Who brought me here?

Zhou Jing seemed to feel his grievances, and he laughed aloud: “I was also forced to go out of my way. Please ask Tang Ge to forgive me!”

Tang Fan asked helplessly: “Dare to ask the concubine and the princess why there is a dispute?”

In the carriage, there was no one else, but Zhou Jing vaguely said: “It’s nothing more than trivial things. I’ll talk to you later when I’m in the house.”

Tang Fan suddenly felt something was wrong.

Zhou Jing is a person with a good personality, and the Princess of Chongqing is not an arrogant and arrogant woman, not to mention that the two are not newly married. To say that there is a big contradiction, Tang Fan is unbelievable. As for stopping a cabinet minister halfway, ask him to go to the house to mediate? You should know that Tang Fan ’s relationship with Zhou Jing is far from deep enough that Zhou Jing will let him judge his family, not to mention the family affairs of the princess and the horse.

Thinking of this, Tang Fan put down his veil, his voice was a little dull because of the cold wind, but it sounded a little colder.

“Is there something you want to tell me?”

When Tang Fan was serious, few people could remain indifferent under his sharp eyes, and Zhou Jing was no exception.

He could not help avoiding Tang Fan’s gaze involuntarily: “Tang Ge Lao will soon know, please don’t ask again.”

The carriage stopped at the door of the princess’s palace. The people in the palace saw the pony came in with a young man who had never seen it before, but there was a bit of respect in their behavior. I’ll know soon, because the concubine called him “the old man”.

Ge Lao is definitely not one person’s name. In Daming, only seven people can be called like this, which is equivalent to the prime minister’s assistant, under one person and above ten million people.

Although this position is far from being as stable as the title of the foreign ancestors of the Yuan family, and it is often rotated every few years, it is undeniable that those who can become elders in the cabinet will undoubtedly have the power of Daming Center and determine the destiny of the world.

And this young man seems to be in his twenties even, if he is an “old man”, is there such a young prime minister in the world?

No, it’s not without it.

The well-informed princess of the princess soon thought of a person, and this person’s age just matched the young man in front of him, but they did not expect that the legendary young and promising Tangge old man was like this. Handsome and elegant character.

Well, when the other party walks, he always covers his lower half with a veil, as if he feels a little sick?

Tang Pan naturally would not be too busy to observe the reaction of the people under the princess, and Zhou Jing obviously did not have that thought. He took Tang Pan all the way forward, and even the smile was gone, which made Tang Pan almost think that it was the princess. What a big deal.

Until the two came to the backyard study.

The backyard and even the study are generally not open to the public, unless the relationship with the host is very good and familiar, because the study is private and important, like the identity of the family, often store a large number of important letters, let alone guests, sometimes even The children of the host family may also not be allowed to enter.

But now Zhou Jing has brought Tang Fan directly here.

He pushed the door open and said to the person inside: “Ashu, I have invited people.”

The nature sitting inside will not be someone else.

The princess of Chongqing is over forty years old, the charm is still there, but it looks only thirty years away, not much bigger than Tang Fan.

But he did not dare to neglect and bowed his hand to salute: “The princess is well.”

The princess of Chongqing gave her husband a look, and the latter would know: “I’ll go outside and you talk first.”

Now that Tang Fan is dull, he can realize that things are not simple, not to mention that Tang Fan is not dull at all.

To be able to let the concubine go outside to guard the wind, what the other party has to say must be a very important thing.

So Tang Fan did not rush to ask questions, but waited for the other party to speak first.

The Princess of Chongqing smiled bitterly: “Master Tang, forgive me and the couple invited you here. It is really a must. Although I have no contact with Master Tang, I have heard about your ability repeatedly. Please forgive me. “

Her tone of voice was gentle and soft, and she was like the rumors of the outside world. There was no pride in the princess, and she put her posture very low as soon as she opened her mouth. Tang Fanzong had a slight unpleasantness at the beginning, which had long been ignored.

“The princess doesn’t have to be polite, Xiaguan wash his ears and listen.” Tang Fan couldn’t help but took out the veil again, covered his mouth and coughed, sniffed his nose, and finally smiled bitterly at the princess of Chongqing, “Feng Hanwei He got rude. “

The Princess of Chongqing knew that it was their rudeness that they were right, regardless of the illness of others, and they just intercepted people from halfway, but she and the pony had no choice but to make a decision.

She frowned slightly, but not against Tang Fan, but was pondering the wording, and seemed to be thinking whether she should speak.

Tang Fan did not urge, the two sat quietly, only the footsteps of the walking horse Zhou Jing gently sounded outside the study.

After a while, the princess slowly said: “When I went to the palace to visit my mother yesterday, I heard that the prince was sick and went to visit him.”

Hearing that it was related to the prince, Tang Fan’s face suddenly became more serious, waiting for her following.

The princess said: “I didn’t think it was different at the time, because the prince was sick and my spirit was not good. That ’s wrong … Prince Edward wandered around in the palace when he was a child. Presumably Mr. Tang also heard about it? “

Tang Fan nodded, it was not convenient for the princess to mention Wan Guifei, but this matter is basically not unknown inside or outside the palace.

Princess: “When he was three years old, he fell on the threshold due to negligence of others, knocked his forehead, and left a trace. Until now, I can still see a little bit. I was not there at the time. This was only later. I heard it from the mother. But few people knew that when the fall happened, the prince also injured the little finger of his left hand, the broken wood penetrated into the flesh, the wound bleeds, and now slight traces can still be seen. “

She took a deep breath: “But when I met the prince yesterday, I accidentally saw his finger, but I didn’t find the scar!”

At this point, the princess has been telling what she saw, but the deep meaning implicit in the words was startling.

Tang Fan frowned tightly: “Is the princess sure that the scar can still be seen now?”

The princess smiled bitterly: “I’m not sure if I am so dizzy and mistaken. This matter is not trivial, and I dare not rush into the palace again to confirm. But a month ago, when I saw the prince, I did see him left It ’s impossible for this small scar to pass only a month, and the scar left in this childhood suddenly disappeared. “

Tang Fan asked, “What about the scar on his forehead?”

Princess: “Still.”

Tang Fan asked again: “When the princess first entered the East Palace, did she encounter something different from the past?”

The princess thought for a while: “That’s not there.”

Tang Fan: “Is the Prince’s speech and manner different?”

Princess: “I only said two or three sentences with the prince. At that time he was lying on the bed and he didn’t see anything strange.”

Tang Fan: “How about the people around the Crown Prince?

Princess: “It doesn’t seem to be, but I don’t see the Prince very often on the weekdays, and I rarely pay attention to the people around him.”

When she saw Tang Fan pondering, she sighed: “I know that this matter is too ridiculous and unbelievable. If my eyesight is wrong, it’s okay, at most it’s just a reprimand, but if it’s true The consequences were unbearable. My couple thought about it and dared not make things big. They had to invite Master Tang in the name of a quarrel. In your opinion, how should I deal with this matter? “

Tang Fan smiled bitterly: “Xiaguan has never seen the prince with his own eyes, it is really difficult to make a judgment.”

The princess apologized: “I also know that this embarrassed adults.”

Now everything is just out of the suspicion of the Princess of Chongqing, and the evidence of suspicion is just an old wound on the finger that is barely noticeable.

She didn’t see the scar, it didn’t mean the prince was fake, maybe the princess looked dazzled by the light.

What’s more, it’s such a big deal to impersonate a prince. Once the conspiracy is revealed, let alone the initiator will lose his head, it will be a big case involving a large number of people.

Therefore, Rao is the princess of Chongqing and did not dare to say anything. He could only quietly ask Zhou Jing to discuss with Tang Fan.

The princess asked: “Why don’t I go to the palace and ask my mother?”

Tang Fan shook his head: “The queen mother and the prince may not meet more often than the princess, and the palace has a lot of people, so it is really not good to be out of trouble. “

The princess breathed a sigh of relief: “This is the best, I hope I read it wrong.”

The night came slowly. Today is the fourth day of the first month. While the 100 officials are still on holiday, all offices in Beijing are closed.

However, the streets of the capital have not become lively because of the New Year. The lively market is only the market on the other side of the Dengshikou and the nearby alleys. Other places are still as usual, and they will be quiet after night.

An inconspicuous Tsing Yi sedan stopped at the back door of an equally inconspicuous house, and the sedan knocked on the door. The sound was not loud enough to disturb the neighborhood.

In a few minutes, the door was opened from the inside.

It was a middle-aged man with a good face who opened the door.

After a moment of whispering, the bearer turned back to the front of the sedan, stooped and didn’t know what to say, and then someone came down from the sedan and entered the house.

After about Mo Yiyi, the man came out from the inside, got on the sedan chair, and left here quickly.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the other party left, the door opened again, and the middle-aged man just came out, walking in a hurry, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

But no one thought that all this fell into the eyes of interested people.

Forbidden city.

Wang Zhi’s footsteps were two points faster than ever. Although he didn’t see much of it, the small yellow door behind him was quite difficult to follow.

He did not dare to complain, he could only secretly speed up his journey, while praying that the lantern in his hand would not be extinguished.

Coincidentally, just when he first raised the idea, a cold wind blew and the lantern shook a few times, as if it were going to go out.

The little yellow door was startled and couldn’t help but glance at the father Wang in front, but the latter didn’t even look back.

To be honest, Wang Zhi could have gone faster if he wasn’t worried about being too conspicuous.

But now he cannot do this.

Since Wyan left, his manpower was almost completely removed, and all of them were replaced by Liang Fang. Even the East Factory was no exception. Chen Zhun ’s father ’s position was not hot, and he was kicked to India immediately. Supervised feeding mosquitoes.

Why did Liang Fang have such confidence, without worrying about being scolded by the emperor, there is no doubt that this is related to the people behind him.

With Wang Zhi left, it was a bit lonely.

The reason why Wang Zhi was not cut together, except that he was smooth and smooth, did not stand on the side of the crown prince and the civil servant as clearly as Wyan, and because he was finally pulled up by Wan Guifei with one hand. He timely bowed his head to the Wandang side. This attitude paralyzed the other party, and he was able to stay, but the price was to leave the two important positions of Si Lijian and Yuma Jian, and went to Shang Baojian.

Wang Zhi still has some manpower, but these people were re-trained after he returned to the palace. Many of them failed to climb to the corresponding positions. Their power is relatively small and they have no effect.

The warmth in the palace is better than that outside the palace. Someone soon fell to the ground because of seeing Wang Gonggong’s defeat, but Wang Zhi was not a bullying character. After returning to the palace, his hegemony was suppressed under a soft and low-key disguise, and he could stretch out Duke Wang remembered the faces of these people and pulled them into the blacklist early.

But if someone thinks that Wang Gonggong is suffering miserable rain in the palace, it is wrong.

The thin dead camel is bigger than the horse, and Grandfather Wang still has his own power. Wyan even transferred part of his manpower to him, so Liang Fang did not dare to force Wang Zhi too much. After squeezing Wyan, he opened Wang Zhi. One eye closed and one eye closed, otherwise the two deep-rooted eunuchs were forced to jump the wall and launch a counterattack against Liang Fang. The outcome would only be a loss of both sides.

These difficulties, he did not tell Tang Fan, no matter how powerful Tang Fan is, his ability is also limited. Besides, foreign ministers cannot interfere in the palace affairs, which is a taboo. Since Wang Zhi returned to the palace, the two have intentionally or unintentionally. Reducing contact is a last resort and will not use this line.

There are a couple of contacts, all for the prince.

This time is no exception.

After receiving Wei Mao’s report, Wang Zhi couldn’t wait to find an excuse to come to the East Palace.

He needs to see it with his own eyes to be at ease.

Usually at this time, the prince may still be reading, but he has recently become ill and naturally fell asleep early.

Wang Zhi was very unusual in seeking advice in the middle of the night. He was naturally stopped outside the palace, and the palace people in the East Palace told him that the prince had gone to bed.

However, Wang Zhi was not without help. He brought the Queen Mother ’s statement: “The Queen Mother is listening to the Sutra, and suddenly heard the Pharmacist Sutra, remembering that the prince is sick, and ordered me to send the Buddhist sutras that have been opened to light. get well.”

As soon as the Empress Dowager said, the palace people naturally dared not stop anymore, so they went in to inform.

After a while, the Gong people came out again and said that the prince was awake and willing to see him.

Hearing that Wang Zhi was coming, the bedroom where the lamp had been turned off lit a candlelight with thick arms, brightly illuminating most of the hall.

The bed tent was half-pulled up, and Tai Ziyong was sitting on the couch, preparing to stay and change clothes.

Wang Zhi stopped him: “Your Highness please sit down.”

The prince did not force him, he smiled at Wang Zhi directly, his expression could not conceal his tiredness and weakness: “There is a laboring father-in-law, please take me to thank my grandmother, and wait for me to be cured in two days, then go to my grandmother to ask for thanks.”

The prince’s words and deeds are not abnormal, and the tone of speech is the same as usual. Although Wang Zhi didn’t see the prince every day, he often dealt with each other. At least Wang Zhi saw no flaws.

But these days, the crown prince is undoubtedly much thinner, his cheeks are slightly sunken, and his eye sockets are a bit blue, which is surprising.

“Your Highness is not polite, Huai Gong is very concerned about you. If you hear that you are sick, he may not be worried!”

The prince smiled bitterly at the words: “I’m useless, I can’t keep Wyan, I … I’m really sorry for him!”

There is no flaw in this sentence. Wang Zhi thought.

Then he saw the crown prince coughing heartbreakingly. This kind of coughing method was simply shocking.

The nearby Gong people quickly stepped forward to pat the crown prince’s shoulder.

Wang Zhi glanced slightly and asked, “His Royal Highness, why didn’t you see Cui Yong?”

He asked the prince’s personal waiter.

The prince said: “I coughed all night and couldn’t sleep. Before the Taiyuan Hospital had prescribed some tranquilizing pills, it was used up. Cui Yong went to help me ask for it.”

He asked again and again: “Have he not returned yet?”

Gong Rendao said: “Yes, Choi Nei has gone for a little while.”

There is nothing wrong with this sentence. At least Wang Zhi couldn’t pick out the problem. He decided to leave the Donggong later and went to the Tai Hospital.

When Gong people talked, his eyes flicked the little finger of the prince’s left hand intentionally or unintentionally.

The opponent’s lower body was covered with a quilt, and his hands fell naturally on the side. The left hand loosely grasped the quilt, and the little finger was just blocked. Wang Zhi could not directly grab the prince’s hand to check it.

“Duke Wang?”

Wang Zhi returned to God: “Something is commanded by your Highness?”

The prince smiled helplessly: “I just asked you, are you still used to being in Shang Baojian, but would you like me to speak to your father and emperor to let you go back to the imperial jail?”

Wang Zhi shook his head: “Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but it is not appropriate for you to say this, so as not to cause you any trouble, please do not open your mouth.”

The prince sighed and said nothing.

Gong Ren whispered next to him: “Your Highness should take medicine.”

Wang Zhi was not good to be there anymore, and left after seeing that.

After all, he and the prince were not familiar with them to the extent that they were like Wyan and Prince-if Wyan was still here, he could distinguish whether the prince had any problems or not.

Unfortunately, Wyan is still burning incense for Emperor Tai and Zu Emperor in Nanjing.

Wang Zhi left the East Palace and went to the Tai Hospital again.

Cui Yong really was there, because the pills needed to be made now, he was helping the doctor there, Wang Zhi asked him two things, nothing more than the condition of the prince Proper.

On this trip, Wang Zhi got nothing.

He almost always wondered if he always bullied Tang Fan because of him, so the other party now seized the opportunity to play with him in reverse.

However, this thought passed away in a flash, and Wang Zhi knew that Tang Fan was not such a person.

Wang Zhi did not know that Tang Fan was also careful from the princess of Chongqing. Because there was a Wei Mao in the middle of the time, there was limited time, and Tang Fan could not explain things one by one. Pay close attention to the abnormal shape of the prince.

Because of Tang Fan’s words, Wang Zhi went to the Queen Mother in the middle of the night to get the Buddhist scriptures and sent them to the Eastern Palace, but found nothing.

Wang Zhi returned to his residence. The palace was no more comfortable than the house outside the palace, but with Wang Zhi’s seniority in the palace, he wanted to decorate his house comfortably, there was no problem.

He let his little yellow door boil water, soaked in a hot bath comfortably, then sat on the bed with the quilt and began to think about the analysis.

After getting along with Tang Fan for a long time, he also learned to imitate each other’s way of thinking, but after thinking for a long time, there was still no gain.

Forget it, Tang Maomao should be given such troublesome things!

Wang Zhi went out to sleep directly.

However, he did not expect that he had not been waiting for his news to be sent out of the palace. The next day, on the first day of the fifth day, the first day the court officials began to resume work, Tang Fan was impeached.
