The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

Shen Ying went straight back to Yongle Palace, and at the gate of the palace happened to meet King An who came to pay his respects.

The king of Anjun still had the same idyllic appearance, and greeted Shen Ying with a foolish joy: "Your Majesty, where have you been so early?"

Shen Yingzheng was so angry that she didn't bother to talk to him, and walked towards the palace without stopping after taking a look at King An. Displeased?

So early in the morning, where did the emperor get so angry?

oh!I remembered!King Anjun slapped his forehead and quickly turned to follow the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that those bastards are so courageous. They even dared to cheat in the imperial examination, and dared to let a worthless man become the champion. Isn't this a slap in the face of your Majesty? Your Majesty, you insist on this time!" Punish them well!"

Shen Ying was annoyed at first, but King An kept yelling behind him, which made him even more annoyed. She walked into the study and sat down. Shen Ying took the memorial and patted the table, impatiently said: "I haven't found out yet. Who committed the crime, who do you want me to punish?"

King An Jun said with a sneer: "Your Majesty is wise, those little bastards will be caught sooner or later."

"Shen Xuan." Shen Ying frowned and looked at King An, "You are also a county king after all, so you can't find a serious job to do, don't just idle around all day long? You have lost all the face of the royal family. You do you know?"

King An Jun was suddenly reprimanded, his pupils dilated, and he froze in place. He agreed to be a dude together, why did the emperor suddenly look down on him?He is idle, isn't the emperor also idle every day?Isn't this fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps?

Shen Yingqi is that, as long as the king of Fan'an County strives for strength, he, the emperor, at least has a brother to help him, so that he will not be alone and helpless, deceived and deceived by those powerful ministers and eunuchs. It became a joke!

The stupefied King An Jun could not count on him. He thought that Gu Min would be loyal to him, but he didn't expect that Gu Min would betray him in private and join Guo Jiuchen!

It seems that he can only rely on himself if he wants to regain power from the queen mother and re-establish the emperor's authority in the court.

King An Jun touched his nose, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I admit that I am not capable, but I am also wholeheartedly devoted to you. You don't have to demote me to such a useless person."

"With all your heart towards me?" Shen Ying sneered, shaking her sleeves and said, "If you have all your heart towards me, can you send Gu Min to me?"

King An's eyes widened: "What do you mean I sent you here? Didn't you go to my house and see him, and you grabbed him by the hand and insisted on taking him back to the palace? I couldn't stop that day, you Forgot?"

Shen Ying: "..." So there is such a thing?

Shen Ying observed King An's expression, and asked tentatively: "So, you are not familiar with him? Don't you know his origin?"

"Of course I'm not familiar with him. He came to my house on his own recommendation, and these things were arranged by the servants, so it was the first time I saw him that day." Anjun Wang said eloquently, blinked his eyes after speaking, and looked at Shen Ying whispered, "Zhaoxi, did the surname Gu offend you? You are the emperor, so you don't have to be angry with such a lowly person. If you think he doesn't serve you well, just change him! Speaking of which, my family Recently, a group of new favorites came, all of them are pretty and docile, when will you have time to go out of the palace to play at my house?"

"Thank you, you'd better keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly." Shen Ying was also angry with Gu Min, that's why she unconsciously angered King An just now. He pointed to the table and chairs next to him and said, "Don't talk about Gu Min, you can play two games of chess with me."

The two of them did not play chess for the purpose of exchanging chess skills, it was purely for the sake of boredom. Shen Ying also learned how to play Go from the elders in her family when she was a child. Only halfway through the third set, Wan Zhongquan, who was sent out by Shen Ying to Beizhen Fusi to inquire about the case, returned.

Returning with him was Liu Chengyi, commander of Jinyiwei.

As soon as Liu Chengyi entered the study and saw the emperor, he knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Ying, as if he had made some unforgivable mistake.

"Reporting to the emperor, Chen Zirong suffered from intestinal colic last night, and died suddenly in prison this morning! It's my negligence, please forgive me!"

The chess piece between Shen Ying's two fingers fell on the chessboard, she looked at Liu Chengyi and raised her eyebrows and asked, "You said Chen Zirong is dead?"

Wan Zhongquan said: "Going back to the emperor, it is true that he died of a sudden illness. The slave and servant saw Chen Zirong's body with his own eyes, and Wu Zuo also did an autopsy."

Shen Ying didn't look at Wan Zhongquan, but still stared at Liu Chengyi and asked, "Then did you get something out of Chen Zirong's mouth?"

Liu Chengyi said: "Back to the emperor, then Chen Zirong is a useless soft-legged shrimp. He just entered the prison, and before he was tortured, he was frightened and passed out twice. In the middle of the night, he began to burn up and vomit. Today He's not feeling well in the morning, so Yichen didn't ask him anything."

Shen Ying reached into the porcelain jar where the chess pieces were placed, fiddled with the chess pieces inside, and asked coolly, "So?"

Liu Chengyi didn't understand why he secretly raised his head and glanced at the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor turned his head and met the emperor's cold gaze, "You're going to take this result back to me, aren't you?"

King An Jun looked at the emperor's displeased face, and hurriedly said: "Liu Chengyi, can't the case be investigated after death? Is this what you Jinyiwei are capable of?"

Shen Ying glanced at King An appreciatively, and suddenly slapped the table hard, causing the pieces on the chessboard to jump up one after another. He said in a deep voice, "Listen, even King An understands this truth, Chen Zirong Although he is dead, where are his followers? Who are the people who usually come and go with him in Beijing? Have you checked all of these? Do you need me to teach you how to do things? You want to fool me with the words "no evidence of death!"

Liu Chengyi's body shook, and he quickly bowed down, "I dare not!"

"Liu Chengyi, how did Chen Zirong die? I don't want to ask, but if you think that if someone dies, I can let the past go, then you are really fooled by lard." Shen Ying let go of the chess pieces in her hand and clapped He clapped his hands and stood up, walked in front of the kneeling Liu Chengyi with his hands behind his back, looked down at the Commander of the Jinyiwei who made ordinary people and officials frightened, and said coldly, "Since you don't have the ability to ask questions from the mouth of the dead, then Just replace it with someone who can ask questions. Come on, tell the commander of Jin Yiwei, Gu Min, to come over!"

Shen Ying would never believe that Chen Zirong's death was so coincidental. He entered the imperial prison last night and died of a sudden illness this morning. He must have been killed by others. The only person who can kill in Jin Yiwei's imperial prison is Jin Yiwei himself.

He already knew that the case of Chen Zirong was a trap set by Gu Min and Guo Jiuchen for Du Qianren, and Liu Chengyi was Guo Jiuchen's man, so logically speaking, he should not help Du Qianren, so there was only one reason, it must be that Du Qianren went to the Queen Mother's palace this morning , please help the queen mother, Guo Jiuchen looked at the queen mother's face, and finally agreed to let Du Qianren go.

As for whether Du Qianren and the Queen Mother reached any ulterior deal because of this, it is not yet known.

And the reason why Shen Ying sent Gu Min over was because he wanted to hand over this imperial examination fraud case to Gu Min for investigation. Isn't Gu Min and Du Qianren at odds?Then he will give Gu Min the chance to deal with Du Qianren.

If Gu Min really brought Du Qianren down, it would be a good thing for him to take power in the future. If Gu Min refused, it would just give him a chance to remove this thorn in his side with the excuse that Gu Min was not doing well.

Maybe it's because a man's genes are inherently imprinted with the desire to conquer. When Shen Ying first passed through, he just wanted to eat and wait for death to save his life. But after a few days of being emperor, everyone around him listened to him. After a few days, the initial state of mind has changed.

He is the king of a country and the lord of all peoples, life and death are at the moment of his thoughts, instead of being greedy for life and fearing death, hiding in the inner courtyard of this deep palace as a puppet, trembling and not knowing when the knife hanging around his neck will fall, It's better to give it a go and open up a new world.

If it succeeds, then follow the example of Qin Huang and Han Wu to create a prosperous world and be famous in history. If it fails, at least you have earned it for yourself, and it is worthwhile to come to this world!

Shen Ying's blood boiled at the thought of this, but he didn't expect that the words he overheard outside the walls of Shou'an Palace today would give him a bit of lofty ambition.

He glanced at the defeated chess pieces on the chessboard, and secretly smirked in his heart, Gu Junshu, you think you can do everything possible to hide the truth, but how do you know that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind?

After about two quarters of an hour, Gu Min came over wearing Jin Yiwei's flying fish suit.

Gu Min came in and saluted according to the rules, stood beside Liu Chengyi, looking at the emperor respectfully.

Speaking of which, this was Shen Ying's first time seeing Gu Min wearing a flying fish suit. The crimson official uniform set off the man's spirit, and he was in full compliance with the standard figure of the ape-armed wasp-waist and praying-mantis-legged, which was required by Jin Yiwei for selection. I'm afraid that the whole capital will never find another man who looks better than Gu Min in the official uniform of Jinyiwei.

It's just that he gave Gu Min to wear this suit of clothes, but it looks dazzling no matter how you look at it today.

Shen Ying simply didn't look at Gu Min, looked at the teacup in her hand with lowered eyelids, and muttered, "Forgive me, I entrust you with Chen Zirong's imperial examination fraud case to thoroughly investigate within three days, who helped Chen Zirong?" Cheating, are there any other candidates involved in the case, if I want a satisfactory result, Beizhen Fusi must fully cooperate, do you understand?"

Gu Min and Liu Chengyi both answered "I obey the order".

Shen Ying thought about it again, and suddenly glanced at King An, who was at the side, and had another idea in her mind, "Prince An."

King An suddenly heard that he was called by name, and stood in front of Shen Ying without knowing why, "The minister is here."

Shen Ying raised her chin and pointed at Gu Min, "Your forgiveness, the new official will inevitably be unfamiliar with the officialdom. I will also order you to supervise this case. If there are any incompetent and violators, they will be reported to me and severely punished." !"

Hearing this, Gu Min raised his head and looked at the emperor thoughtfully.

King An also pointed at himself in surprise, "Ah? Is there anything else I have to do here?"

Shen Ying knew that King An and Gu Min were at odds, so he deliberately let King An be the supervisor. With the arrogant and domineering nature of King An, he would definitely do everything possible to deliberately trip Gu Min, since he couldn't treat Gu Min clearly If he made a move, it would be good to ask King An to help Gu Min.

Shen Ying nodded inscrutably to the king of An County, "I will tell you something serious to do now, don't let me down."

Prince An: "..."

—

On the next day, King Anjun helped the emperor on an errand for the first time, and he didn't dare to neglect. He arrived at Fusi Yamen in Beizhen just after Maoshi.

At that time, Gu Min had just left the palace and arrived a full half an hour later than King An. As soon as he entered the door, he met the stinky face of King An.

King An was wearing a majestic royal uniform, and he was sitting swaggeringly in the hall, with two guards in brocade clothes standing beside him, serving him tea and water graciously. Seeing that Gu Min came in slowly, King An put down With the teacup in his hand, he snorted coldly: "Gu Shaojun, you really don't take the errands that the emperor gave you to heart. How late is it for you to arrive?"

Gu Min had expected that King An would embarrass him, and he didn't take the accusation of King An's eccentricity seriously. He just wondered why the little emperor appointed King An as the supervisor when he knew that King An would not deal with him. The county king is holding him back?

Gu Min walked to the front of the hall, saluted An Jun Wang Xuxu calmly, and said lightly: "My lord, this is Beizhen Fusi, there is no young monarch, besides, it doesn't matter if you don't care about the emperor's affairs." Whoever came earlier."

King An Jun sneered, "Okay, you sharp-tongued Gu Min, okay, my lord doesn't bother with you about your late arrival, this king asks you, did you catch Chen Zirong's book boy? "

Jin Yiwei had already found out yesterday that Chen Zirong went to Beijing to rush for the exam with only a book boy and an old servant who served him. disappeared.

And the old servant was old, deaf and illiterate, and there was no way to ask why from him.

Jin Yiwei also interrogated several other candidates who lived in the same inn as Chen Zirong. Those candidates said that Chen Zirong was usually arrogant and withdrawn. Feng Jiping, a fellow villager, seldom interacts with other people.

What's even more strange is that once Chen Zirong arrived in the capital, all the other students were studying hard behind closed doors, but he went out every day to go to restaurants with the senior disciples in the capital.Lou Xun.Having fun, before the exam, he even made a high-profile threat that he would pass the subject.

Jin Yiwei went to investigate those high-school children who usually drank and had fun with Chen Zirong, but those people seemed to have made an appointment with them. They only said that Chen Zirong and them were just friends, and they didn't have a deep friendship, and they didn't even know that Chen Zirong was this Candidates for the next scientific examination.

With such a unified caliber, someone must have taught them to say this in advance, and the purpose is to protect Du Chengmei, but those high-ranking children either have titles in their families, or their father and brother are officials in the court, and Jin Yiwei cannot arrest them without evidence They were tortured and tortured one by one in the prison.

Therefore, the key to this case may be the missing Shutong. As Chen Zirong's close entourage, he is almost inseparable from Chen Zirong. Shutong knows best who Chen Zirong has been with and what he has done during his stay in Beijing. but.

Gu Min replied without changing his expression: "People have been sent to search for them as much as possible."

"That means you haven't caught it yet? It's just a little book boy. Jin Yiwei has been searching for two days but still hasn't found anyone. This king sees that you haven't put your heart into doing errands for the emperor!" Prince An pointed at Gu Min, playing an official role Wei Dao, "Especially you, take care of things. If you fail to find out the case after three days, this king will definitely accuse you of dereliction of duty in front of the emperor!"

Gu Min was too lazy to talk to King An, who was standing and talking without back pain, and walked towards the backyard. Seeing that Gu Min ignored him, King An was so angry that he picked up the Xingmu on the table and knocked on it, "Gu Jun, do you hear that?" ? This king is talking to you!"

Suddenly, a Jin Yiwei came in from outside the yamen to report important matters to Gu Min: "Master Gu, it's too bad, a group of failed candidates went to the Du Shoufu's mansion to make trouble!"

Gu Min stopped and turned around, "What's going on?"

Jin Yiwei said: "I don't know who spread the news that at the Qionglin Banquet, Du Shoufu's son, Du Chengmei, helped Chen Zirong to speak. After those who failed the ranking found out, they said that Du Shoufu was an example of civil servants in the world. But his son has the heart to cover up the cheaters. Who knows if he is using his power for personal gain? Now those candidates who failed the rankings want Du Shoufu to come out and give an explanation, and also ask for a re-examination, or else they will be blocked at the door of Du's house. Now we should what to do?"

The king of Anjun clapped his hands happily when he heard it, and gloated over his face, "Haha, is there such a thing? Those candidates who failed the exam went to Du's house to make trouble? Haha! Then I have to go and see the excitement!"

After saying that, he rushed out of the gate in a hurry, shouted to the boy to bring the horse over quickly, rode on the horse and walked away, as if he was afraid that he would be too late to see the excitement.

Gu Min calmly waited for the plague god of King An to go far away, and then ordered his subordinates, "Call some brothers, and we will go and have a look."

—

When Gu Min arrived, the outside of the Du's mansion was already crowded with black and black heads from three floors inside and outside.

These candidates who failed the exam were already filled with grievances in their hearts, and they also knew that there was a fraud case in the imperial examination, and even the number one scholar participated in the cheating. , it is even more impossible to be convinced by the results of this scientific examination.

Prince An was sitting at a tea stand not far from the entrance of Du's mansion, drinking tea and nibbling melon seeds, watching the excitement with relish, and then heard the attendant who inquired about the news come back and told him that Du Qianren always walked through the back door when he returned to the mansion. , threw the melon seeds in his hand, and happily slapped the table.

"I didn't expect that Du Shoufu, the dignified man, would have today. This time, things have become a big deal. It is said that scholars have strong mouths. Now there are hundreds of mouths in front of Du's mansion. This king sees how Du Qianren can explain it clearly hahaha! "

In an alley next to the tea stall, Gu Min was hiding inside with four Jinyi guards, who were also quietly observing the movement at the door of the Du Mansion. One of the Jinyi guards tentatively asked, "Master Gu, do we need to come forward to disperse these students?" ?”

Gu Min rubbed the scabbard of the Xiuchun knife hanging on his waist with his right hand, and said casually: "When a crowd gathers to make trouble, the soldiers and horses of the five cities will take care of it. It's not our turn to intervene."

Jin Yiwei asked strangely, "Then what are we looking at here?"

Gu Min looked at the closed gate of the Du Mansion, sneered slightly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Send two people to the backyard of the Du Mansion to watch, if there is any trouble, report to me immediately."

I don't know how many pairs of eyes watched the play in front of Du's mansion, while Du Qianren heard the news and hurried back to the mansion from the palace.

For the past two days, Du Chengmei could only lie on the bed to recover from his injuries. After hearing that a group of failed candidates came outside to block the door and demanded that he be strictly investigated, he was even more panic-stricken all day long. When he saw Du Qianren enter the room, he immediately struggled to raise his head, with a mournful face He said: "Father, those poor candidates are all blocking our door now, you should quickly think of a way to drive them away! What does the matter of Chen Zirong have to do with them? It seems that they can pass the exam without Chen Zirong! "

"These people must have been instigated to come here. If we drive them away rashly, and we have a conflict with them, I'm afraid the matter will be more difficult to end. They are just a bunch of mobs. Don't worry about them. They will disperse after a long time." Du Qianren, who has experienced many storms, is more calm than Du Chengmei, and calmly said, "Anyway, I have already reported the reason to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also promised not to pursue your crime. Although the emperor is still asking Jin Yiwei to investigate, Chen Zirong is dead. , all the mouths that should be sealed are also sealed, presumably they can't find anything for the time being, the only problem now is that bookboy..."

Du Chengmei patted the bed and shouted: "Yes! That bookboy, you have to find him quickly and silence him. He must know a lot of things, otherwise he wouldn't have run away if something happened to the master!"

Du Qianren squinted his eyes, stroked his beard and said, "I have ordered people to conduct a secret search. As long as he is still in the capital, he will definitely not be able to leave."

Du Chengmei thought for a while and asked, "What if Jin Yiwei finds it first?"

Du Qianren glanced at his son, "Unexpectedly, the queen mother agreed to let the Internet go, Guo Jiuchen will naturally not make things difficult for us, even if Jin Yiwei finds the book boy first, there are ways to make his words difficult to listen to."

After hearing this, Du Chengmei breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "Then don't worry, my son. Dad, you are still the best. Let me just say, the queen mother will definitely forgive me for your sake."

Du Qianren glared at him fiercely, "Don't be complacent, this time for your sake, do you know how much you have spent with the queen mother for your father? Let me ask you again, is there anyone else who knows about you besides that bookboy?" Do you have contacts with Chen Zirong?"

Du Chengmei opened her mouth to say no, but suddenly thought of something, her eyes flickered with guilt, knowing a son is like a father, Du Qianren knew that he had something to hide from him as soon as he saw his expression, and immediately became furious, "Don't you Is there anything else you are hiding from me? Hurry up and say it!"

Du Chengmei shrank her neck, and said falteringly: "Actually, it's nothing, just... that short-lived ghost surnamed Chen gave me three women. I saw that they were really beautiful, so I couldn't help but just- Accepted..."

Du Qianren was so angry that he slapped Du Chengmei on the back of the head, "You fool, I'll kill you! Where are those three women now?"

Du Chengmei covered her head and wailed: "I've been raised on a farm outside the city. Only Chen Zirong and I know about this, and no one else knows about it. It shouldn't have any effect..."

Murderous look flashed in Du Qianren's eyes, "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, I have to send someone over to deal with them immediately."

Du Chengmei felt something new about those three beauties, and her expression was a little bit reluctant, but she didn't dare to disobey Du Qianren, so she could only say in a low voice, "That's all up to you, father."

Du Qianren immediately called his confidant over, and asked him to take someone to Zhuangzi outside the city to silence the three women who were related to Chen Zirong, but what he didn't expect was that the people from the Grand Master's Mansion had just left the mansion from the backyard, and Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of watching The spies reported the news to Gu Min.

After listening to the spies' report, Gu Min pushed the handle of the Xiuchun Knife with his thumb, and the blade came out of its sheath, and a cold light flashed.

"Send someone to continue to follow the people in the Grand Master's Mansion, don't startle the snake."

—

The failed candidates of the demonstration made a fuss at the gate of the Du Mansion for a whole day, and they didn't disperse until the evening. They gathered spontaneously in the early morning of the second day and continued to make trouble. As a result, Du Qianren could only go through the back door with his servants when he came in and out. Fu, I'm really aggrieved.

People from Wucheng Bingma Division came here once, but what they faced were weak scholars who couldn't carry their shoulders or hands.

Not to mention that the emperor later issued a decree, saying that it is common sense for the scholars to feel resentment because of the imperial examination fraud case, and ordered that until the case is cleared, the soldiers and horses of the five cities can only persuade the troubled scholars, and must not use force Hurt.

Well, this means that even the emperor tacitly allowed the scholars to make trouble, and directly handed out a gold medal to save them from death. Scholars who have no strength to restrain chickens are not afraid of them making troubles.

Because of the fraud case in the scientific examination, the conferring of these new subjects was also delayed.

In order to appease the anger of the troubled scholars, the emperor announced that the second place in the list and Tanhua entered the palace to meet with them this morning to discuss countermeasures.

The three of them talked for a full two hours. During the conversation, Shen Ying discovered that in ancient times, those who were able to get a Jinshi and rank were definitely not ordinary people.

Needless to say, Xie Yu was born in a noble family, with extraordinary talents and bearing, and his eloquence was eloquent and easy to understand, which made Shen Ying really feel like listening to what you said was better than reading ten years of books.

Compared to Xie Yu, Liu Xie, who was born in the second place from a poor family, is much inferior in conversation. Of course, this is also related to his family background.

Liu Xie was nearly [-] years old, and his family was poor. He relied on his mother's good wife to do needlework for others to support his scientific examination.

Although Liu Xie writes well, he is not good at talking. He was born in a poor family, so Sheng Jia is not as comfortable as Xie Yu in front of him, and he often agrees with Xie Yu in the discussion, but when Shen Ying asks him what he thinks alone When Liu Xie said something, he was also quite insightful, which shows that he is a person with hills and valleys in his chest.

After chatting for a whole morning, Shen Ying already had a general impression of the No. [-] and Tan Hua in her heart, and she was quite satisfied with them.

The imperial court needed an arrogant talent like Xie Yu, and of course it also needed an honest and responsible courtier like Liu Xie.

When the chat was almost over, Shen Ying waved her hand and said, "Okay, we've been chatting for some time. Although there was a fraud case in this department, the second-best man and Tan Hualang still won my heart. I don't care about the others for the time being. I will order them." The Ministry of Officials will give you the post of editor in the Imperial Academy first, and from tomorrow onwards, the two of you will be on duty in the Imperial Academy."

There is a rule in this dynasty that non-jinshi cannot enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet. Therefore, entering the Hanlin is equivalent to having the opportunity to be an extremely talented minister.

Shen Ying appointed Xie Yu and Liu Xie as officials separately, and also wanted to let the other ministers who were uncertain in the court know that they could rise to the top if they were loyal to him as the emperor.

Sure enough, Xie Yu and Liu Xie had overjoyed expressions on their faces after listening to it, and quickly kowtowed to thank them.

Shen Ying looked at the two new scholars, patted the armrest of the dragon chair under him, and couldn't help showing a hint of color on his face. He could understand Tang Taizong's words "Heroes in the world, enter my nest" The mood when talking.

As long as he sits on this chair, he doesn't need to specially solicit it, all the talents from all over the world will naturally rush to gather in front of him and wait for his orders. This feeling is really wonderful.

"The second-best man, step back first, I still have something to talk to Tan Hualang." After sitting for a long time, her waist felt a little sore, Shen Ying stood up and stretched her legs, and waved her sleeves to let Liu Xie leave first.

Xie Yu guessed why the emperor left him alone, and after Liu Xie left, he took the initiative to say: "Your majesty, I have followed your order to incite the scholars to go to Du's residence to make trouble, but now the people's grievances are boiling and cannot be suppressed." , if the imperial court still delays in giving an explanation for this imperial examination fraud case, I am afraid that the scholars will inevitably be disappointed by the imperial court."

Shen Ying smiled lightly and said: "I know, don't worry, when the time comes, I will definitely give the scholars a satisfactory answer. I will leave you alone, and I have one more thing to do for you."

Xie Yu saluted and said, "Please give orders, Your Majesty."

Shen Ying turned her wrist and said, "I want you to help me keep an eye on someone in Beijing."

Xie Yu was curious: "Who is it?"

Shen Ying raised her eyes and smiled at Xie Yu, showing her white teeth, and said slowly, "My Gu Shaojun."

Xie Yu blinked in confusion, thinking that he had heard wrong.

Shen Ying sat down on the chair next to him, motioned Xie Yu to sit next to him with her hand, and then said in a leisurely tone, "You heard me right, it's Gu Min and Gu Junshu."

Xie Yu sat down and said with embarrassment: "I don't understand, please ask the emperor to clarify."

Shen Ying crossed her arms, "Xie Yu, do you have someone you like?"

Xie Yu said honestly: "Back to the emperor, the minister is not yet married."

Shen Ying felt relieved when he said that there was no one, and began to use his deception skills without any scruples, "That's it, you don't understand. Once a man has someone he likes, he can't help being suspicious."

Xie Yu: "Uh..."

Shen Ying smiled slightly, and continued: "Jun Shu ran errands for me, and often walked around outside the palace, and I was usually in the palace, and it was inconvenient to go out of the palace, so I couldn't be by his side all the time. Who did he meet when he went out of the palace? Naturally, I can't know what I have done, and I always feel uneasy in my heart."

Xie Yu didn't understand, and asked sincerely, "Why are you uneasy?"

Shen Ying said seriously: "Of course I'm afraid that he will go out and steal people."

Xie Yu, who had always only read sage books, was startled by the emperor's bold and straightforward words, and couldn't help coughing.

"Jun Shu has his ambitions and aspirations, and I can't bear to let him be trapped in the deep palace like other harem concubines." Shen Ying sighed pretendingly, "But you also know that Jun Shu is outstanding in appearance and likes His people are like crucian carp crossing the river, I am afraid that he will be blinded by the chaos outside the palace and fail me..."

Shen Ying hadn't finished the rest of the sentence, but was interrupted by Xie Yu with a look of indignation, "Could it be possible that he still dared to betray the emperor and cheat on you? To be favored by the emperor has been his blessing for several lifetimes." If he still dares to live up to the holy will, then he deserves death!"

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Xie Yu to be more excited than him suddenly, "Well, he hasn't betrayed me yet, so you don't have to say that."

Xie Yu heard that Shen Ying still defended Gu Min so much, and he felt even more disdain for Gu Min in his heart. His blue face was mischievous, and he was charming and seductive, so he actually seduced the dignified emperor so fascinated by him.

No wonder the emperor was notorious in the hearts of all the officials before, and he was definitely harmed by these male favorites. Obviously he thinks the emperor is very wise!

With such a person by the emperor's side, sooner or later it will become a disaster!

Although Xie Yu had the heart to advise the emperor not to favor Gu Min too much, but he himself has a sacred heart, and the weight in the emperor's heart may not be as important as Gu Min's, so if he speaks now, he may only offend the emperor, so we can only talk about it later.

Xie Yu got up and saluted, "I understand what the emperor means, don't worry, I will let people watch Gu Shaojun's every move when he leaves the palace, and report to the emperor if there is any disturbance!"

Shen Ying waited for him to say this, and immediately nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Then I will thank you, Qing."

—

At the same time, during Lanyue Zhai, Jiang Shuiping came back from the outside and brought back the No. [-] man. After the second man left, Tan Hualang had a secret talk with the emperor in Yongle Palace alone about the news that he hadn't left for half an hour.

Gu Min was watering a pot of clivia in his room, and he wasn't surprised after hearing this, he just said lightly: "It seems that the group of scholars making trouble at the gate of Du's mansion should not be impulsive, but instigated by others. gone."

Jiang Shuiping asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Gu Min twitched the corner of his mouth, didn't say his name, and changed the topic and asked, "What about the spies who followed those people from the Grand Master's Mansion out of the city yesterday?"

Jiang Shuili walked up to him and said in a low voice: "As you expected, those people went to a village in the suburbs after leaving the city. Our people stayed outside for most of the night, and finally waited until they came out with three sacks on their shoulders. They put three sacks on the carriage, dragged them to a wilderness and buried them. Our people dug them out after they left. Each of the three sacks contained a female corpse! They were strangled Broken neck!"

Gu Min leisurely fiddled with the leaves of Clivia, "Is it possible to confirm the identities of the three female corpses?"

"I can't confirm their identities yet, but they should all be Qing. Miss Lou, the bodies have already been brought back to the Yamen." Jiang Shui said, "At this time, Du Qianren is in such a hurry to kill people, presumably these three women are probably related to Chen Zirong .”

Gu Min turned around, went to the table and poured a glass of water, "Is Prince An out of the city today?"

Jiang Shuiping smiled and said, "Well, he went to Beizhen Fusi this morning, and left cursing without seeing you, and threatened to join you, and then went outside the city to meet friends for a drink."

Gu Min snorted lightly, "Has the big gift I prepared for him been arranged?"

"It's all arranged." Jiang Shuiping said narrowly, "But if someone wants to join you, why don't you give him a gift?"

While drinking tea, Gu Min looked out the window, "This gift is for the emperor."

At Xu time, Shen Ying took off her coat and was about to take a bath, when suddenly the eunuch outside came to report that King An asked to see him.

Shen Ying wondered what would happen to King An when he entered the palace so late, so she asked the little eunuch to pass him in.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" An Junwang trotted in panting, and even the golden crown on his head was crooked.

Shen Ying was too lazy to put on her clothes again, so she put on some clothes casually outside, and walked out from the inner hall in a leisurely manner, "What's the matter, are you in a hurry to see me at this time?"

King An hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have found Chen Zirong's book boy!"

Shen Ying was dubious; "Where did you find someone who Jin Yiwei couldn't find?"

Prince An's expression was silly, "Listen to what I'm telling you!"

It turned out that King An and his friends made an appointment to go out for an outing outside the city today. On the way back to the city at sunset, they passed a forest. Unexpectedly, they picked up a man who passed out in the forest. King An asked his followers to rescue him.

I wanted to find something on the man that could prove his identity, but only found a ledger on him, and after reading the ledger, I found out that this person is Chen Zirong's book boy!

King An Jun took out the account book from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Ying, and said with a proud face: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Chen Zirong didn't have much ink in his stomach, but he was good at keeping accounts. After all, he came from a merchant family. On this account book, there is a Clearly remember all the expenses he has spent since he came to Beijing, including which officials he gave gifts to, who he invited to drink and prostitutes, and remember everything clearly!"

Shen Ying took over the ledger and turned it over, the corners of her eyes twitched and she said, "What kind of luck do you have for a blind cat to run into a dead mouse? You can pick up Chen Zirong's book boy by just picking someone on the side of the road? Why don't you buy it?" What about lottery tickets?"

King An was stunned, "What is a lottery ticket?"

Shen Ying smiled perfunctorily: "It's nothing, just keep talking."

"Oh, please look, Your Majesty. It is recorded in this ledger that Chen Zirong gave Du Chengmei 10,000+ taels of silver back and forth, and there are countless more.
