Detective in the Red Chamber

This middle-aged woman is none other than Empress Zhao, who once had a relationship with Sun Shaozong.

"The younger brother has seen the emperor's wife."

Although the Empress Zhao questioned Emperor Guangde as soon as she appeared on the stage, it was not the emperor who responded first, but King Zhongshun who was sitting on the right.

As soon as he took the lead, the other two princes on the opposite side also hurriedly stood up to greet him.

The rest of the civil and military nobles naturally also stood up, but they were not qualified to greet Queen Zhao, so they could only bow silently.

After Queen Zhao bowed to the three princes and returned the salute, she stepped forward to take the child from the crown princess, hugged him to Emperor Guangde, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was surprised by this child's intelligence." , how come there is no response for a long time?"

The emperor raised his head and looked at her, then slowly got up, looked at the child carefully for a few more times, and said one last word: "It really is smart."

No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a double entendre.

But the queen smiled even more happily, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were tightly wrinkled, and then she turned around and teased with the child: "Concubine De, when his little uncle is born, you can't let this be your nephew." The focus is on the front."

And following her teasing, Sun Shaozong quickly widened his eyes to look - to be honest, although he has been in and out of Jingren Palace several times, he has never seen this concubine.

In terms of appearance, it is somewhat similar to Jia Tanchun.

However, between Jia Tanchun's brows, there is always a bit of stubbornness and firmness that cannot be concealed.

Although they have similar facial features, this Jia Yuanchun looks pleasing and soft.

As for figure...

Wrapped in that big auspicious suit, it can be seen that there are ghosts.

But when he heard Empress Zhao's ridicule, Jia Yuanchun smiled for no reason, leaned over slightly and said: "The concubine is stupid, I'm afraid it's not as good as the princess's ability to teach children."

In fact, Queen Zhao's ridicule also laid a trap in advance.

But Jia Yuanchun was not fooled, he didn't mention the fetus in the womb at all, he only admitted that he was not as good as the princess.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with these words, at least on the bright side.

So Empress Zhao smiled and stopped targeting her, instead she turned around with the child in her arms and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, but the concubine de concubine is twin, should we let her sit first so as not to hurt her body? "

At this time, Emperor Guangde was overwhelmed, and immediately invited Empress Zhao and Jia Yuanchun to the table, and ordered the eunuch to set up another table for the family wives who came with Empress Zhao.

And at this moment, the crown prince also rushed over with a gift from the Supreme Emperor, so after a lot of tossing, the "confrontation between grandparents and grandchildren" just now seemed to be over.

However, none of the civil and military officials present would really think that this matter really passed away without a hitch!

So when the banquet resumed, there was always a strange atmosphere mixed with the happy smiles.

…………

Not to mention the banquet.

Among the clansmen and ladies who came following Queen Zhao, there was one who couldn't help looking at Sun Shaozong at the banquet.

This person is none other than Princess Wei of Beijing.

Earlier, she ran into the Dali Temple's court angrily, but accidentally ran into the scene where Lord Niu hit a wall and died.

At that time, it was cloudy and foggy, and I just felt inexplicable.

Later, when I got home, I asked Xia Jingui repeatedly, but she shrugged it off in a perfunctory manner.

Considering that Wei Ruolan had just been released from prison at that time, the siblings couldn't stop talking about themselves, so naturally they didn't delve into the matter further.

However, her perception of Sun Shaozong in her heart inevitably changed.

However, with the news that Sun Shaozong did not hesitate to disobey the imperial court's order to save an innocent child in the past two days, his perception changed again.

Actually speaking, Sun Shaozong had many heroic deeds in the past, and many of them may not be inferior to his performance this time.

However, because of Wei Ruolan, Princess Beijing had a grudge in her heart, so she inevitably looked at Sun Shaozong's actions with prejudice.

And at this time...

Those many rumors were lingering in her heart, but Princess Beijing didn't know how to evaluate this man.

Shameless?

Upright?

Breach the law for personal gain?

Fair and honest?

Peeking at Sun Shaozong at the banquet, Wei Ying seemed to see many different faces in her heart.

There are those who are kind and upright, those who are ferocious, those who speak righteously, and those who speak eloquently.

Naturally, it is unavoidable that there will be a face with red ears and red ears, panting like a cow.

Bah~

What are you thinking? !

Princess Beijing spat at herself in the bottom of her heart, looked guiltyly at Wang Shuirong of Beijing who was not far away, and then forced herself to swear in her heart: I will find an opportunity someday, and I will definitely kill this shameless beast and wash it off. Own insult!

Chapter 779

The turmoil at the birthday banquet seemed to be just a small episode.

But the follow-up impact is obvious.

A considerable part of the prince's original party members have strengthened their beliefs because of this.

Among the courtiers, there were also some conservative officials who showed their kindness to the prince.

In fact, many of them did not support the prince, but the rules of etiquette and righteousness.

In the eyes of these people, although the crown prince has been cut off, he is still the orthodox royal family in name, and the grandson is also certified by the court.

Since it is orthodox, it is worthy of support.

To put it bluntly, this is the villain character in the costume TV series who shouted that "the ancestors have established the law and cannot be dismissed lightly".

As the core figure among the villains, Sun Shaozong has naturally attracted much attention recently.

On October [-]th, Emperor Guangde issued a central decree, praising his aspirations and responsible for his deeds. In the end, his merits and demerits were offset by a fine of half a year to see the effect.

That night, the crown prince hosted a banquet in honor of Sun Shaozong with great fanfare. In addition to Sun Tao, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy and a guest of the crown prince, and the queen's younger brother Zhao Guojiu, several important officials from the court attended the banquet.

Among them, the highest ranking official surprised Sun Shaozong.

Gein was none other than Zhao Rongheng, the censor of the right capital who was the deputy commander in chief when investigating the Long Gen case.

At the beginning, Zhao Rongheng had intended to prevent the birth of the 'Emperor Grandson', so it stands to reason that he had a rift with the crown prince.

Unexpectedly, after seeing each other for two years, this Mr. Zhao has become the crown prince's core henchman, and he is also the highest-ranking one.

After all, this guy is a dignified second-rank official leader, and his authority and status are equal to those of the six ministers, and even slightly surpassed in some aspects.

Of course, in terms of being trusted by the prince, he is still slightly inferior to Sun Shaozong.

In fact, when Sun Shaozong thought about it later, there were already traces of the reason why this person came here for refuge.

After all, he is recognized as a staunch ally of the King of Beijing, and it is even rumored that the king of Beijing, Shui Rong, was actually born of Zhao Rongheng's affair with the eldest princess.

The king of Beijing had already turned to the prince two years ago, so it is not surprising that Zhao Rongheng would join the prince.

October nineteenth.

After Sun Shaozong lifted the ban, he went to the Yamen to sit in court on the first day.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the government office, he received unexpected news: according to Wei Yi's wishes, the case of Yang Kui's poisoning of Lu Mingsi had been officially closed.

This is really weird.

Before, Sun Shaozong had instructed Tang Weishan and others to list the evidence of Yang Kui's corruption on the gathering table, and applied for the confiscation and inspection of his family property, and temporarily restricted the freedom of his family.

Wei Yi also knew about this.

It stands to reason that the matter of raiding the house has not yet been approved. Even if Wei Yi is eager to understand the case so that he can ask the Ministry of Households for money, he should wait until the imperial edict is issued.

Besides, this case was taken by Sun Shaozong after all, and he announced the closure of the case without saying hello, which is not in line with the normal procedures.

This muddle-headed approach can no longer be said to be kind, and Sun Shaozong even suspected that he was deliberately covering up the mastermind behind the scenes.

but……

Although Wei Yi lacked in ability to handle affairs, he also lacked the self-motivation he should have.

But after all, he is also a veteran in the officialdom. If he really intends to cover up the mastermind behind Yang Kui, he should choose a more covert method instead of being so straightforward.

Could there be something hidden in this?

Think again.

After all, Sun Shaozong couldn't ignore this matter, so he simply went to Wei Yi and asked him directly why he acted like this.

Wei Yi, however, refused to say it clearly, only vaguely implying that this matter came from his will, and it was not his willful act.

When Sun Shaozong heard the words, he immediately remembered that on the day of the birthday banquet, the emperor had specially called himself there to learn all the details of the confrontation between him and Zhou Chang.

Could it be that……

Is there something else involved behind Zhou Chang?

And the people involved are even afraid of the emperor?

I have doubts in my heart, but it is inconvenient to investigate clearly.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong decided to find an opportunity to inquire with Yu Qian, to see what kind of government affairs Zhou Chang was in charge of on weekdays, and to see how he had hooked up with those high officials in the court.

Of course, today is definitely not going to happen.

Jia She, the great master of the Rongguo Mansion, posted a post asking Sun Shaozong to have a dinner at night.

According to Sun Shaozong's conjecture, this is probably at the behest of Jia Yucun, and the purpose is still for the stone nerd case.

At the beginning, Sun Shaozong set the policy of having both sides, and he was also preparing for the Rongguo Mansion to have a birth with him.

As a result, Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian and others did not talk about it. Whenever Jia She encountered trouble, he found it on his head without hesitation, and he was completely unaware of opposing camps.

But to be honest, if it wasn't for Jia Yingchun's sake, Sun Shaozong really didn't want to talk to this old dude.

But since he slept with someone else's daughter, he still has to give the cheap old man some face.

…………

But he said that after a whole day, Sun Shaozong managed to clear up the owed official documents—basically they were trivial matters, and Liu Xianglian was supposed to be responsible for them, but this guy was helping Jiang Yuhan prepare the troupe, so he had the audacity to invite ten of them. days of holiday.

It seems that we still need to hire another reliable teacher to succeed.

But Sun Shaozong is still going to wait and see.

Sun Chengye is going to take part in Chunwei again after the Chinese New Year. If he still fails in the exam this time, it is natural that the familiar is worse than the familiar, and it is most suitable for him to bring along Liu Xianglian.

Saw the evening.

When Sun Shaozong came out of the yamen, he saw that a carriage from Rongguo Mansion had already been waiting outside.

At first, Sun Shaozong thought it was Jia Lian who had arrived.

It was later discovered that it was Jia Baoyu who had been away for a few days. After the birthday banquet, this kid seemed to be grounded by his family, and even Jiang Yuhan couldn't contact him.

Seeing Jia Baoyu, Sun Shaozong couldn't help being curious, and asked him why he had a conflict with Uncle Zhao that day.

"Second brother has wronged me."

Jia Baoyu looked aggrieved: "Back then, my uncle and my master were forced to go to Zhao's house to bow their heads and admit their mistakes. It's not like I haven't seen it before. How could I have a conflict with him again?"

Listen to what this kid said.

But it turned out that he was unexpectedly invited by the emperor to the birthday banquet that day, and he was actually not very happy in his heart, but found it very troublesome.

The only thing that attracted him was the fact that he could see Jia Yuanchun - but when it came to the birthday banquet, he only had a few glances from a distance, and couldn't strike up a conversation at all.

Before leaving, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu naturally gave them some advice.

Therefore, after entering the palace, Jia Baoyu was rarely cautious in his words and deeds, and even appeared a little dull in front of the emperor.

But for some reason, then Uncle Zhao Guo appeared, regardless of whether he was in front of the emperor, and sneered at Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu didn't talk back at all, but he was kicked out of Wenzhao Pavilion together with him.

That's not counting, then Uncle Zhao Guo took his anger on him because of this.
