The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 385

[385. Chapter 385 The Secret]

The ministers gathered around in twos and threes, their eyes wandering between the prince and the tung hemp tree in front of him. The emperor and the queen mother sat down with their own servants and held up the canopy.

“Duan Qigao.” Zong Zhenglin’s slightly raised chin slowly lowered, his eyes swept over a copy of his imperial censor, the man stood with his hands behind his back, but opened his mouth lightly. This is also on top of this matter, the first time the prince asked the courtier to ask questions. “The position of the censor is to perform the role of supervision, and the righteousness of the country. As a doctor of the censor station, you can measure the

virtues of hundreds of officials. You should lead by example, public and selfless.”

He didn’t want to open his mouth to speak, and his tone was very calm. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a high crown and a solemn robe, so there is no danger.

Looking back, Zong Zhenglin didn’t look at him again, looked up to Wei Zhen, turned around and walked straight to the imperial driver.

With a bow of hands, Zong Zhenglin was calm and steady towards Emperor Yuancheng who let him issue orders from beginning to end. “Father, what’s going on, we’ll find out in a moment. You and your ancestors can see it together.”

“Wei Zhen.”

Everyone saw the prince’s close minister, Mr. Wei, greeting the two father-in-laws, carrying the Taishi chair, and placing it in a safe and secure manner At the end of the present day, the crown prince fluttered his robes and took his seat in a dignified manner. This grandfather was sitting very upright, and his eyes were stern, so that everyone dared not move rashly.

His Royal Highness put his hand on his knee and stroked the Chaozhu with one hand. “Let that person come up.”

Can you find the person in front of you so quickly? Everyone looked at each other.

Kneeling at the bottom, a little eunuch dressed in maroon sackcloth and linen, his shoulders were still trembling.

“Report to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The youngest was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take charge of the imperial garden, the flowers and trees, and the eunuch Xiaozi. This morning, the servants had to inform the servants, and only then did they learn about this century-old tungsten tree in the garden. Something big happened to the hemp tree. At that time, I was very scared and eager to play, and I looked at the tree again. Except for more watering, I couldn’t find any fault that caused the branches and leaves to wither. The servant thought, I’m afraid I won’t be able to save my life today.”

Wiping his forehead, the little eunuch lowered his body lower, and then replied, his tone changed slightly, as if he was greatly relieved. “Until Lord Wei’s Highness the Crown Prince ordered the servants to come out from the place of detention, and asked the servants to check the tree carefully, without omitting any omissions. After walking around the tree for several times, the servants finally realized that something was wrong.” The tail sound was faintly excited, like saving her life, but she lost control of her joy.

How could he not be happy? If he can find out what’s wrong, how could he have no hope of himself and be detained by the director of the Jingshi room for questioning. Now that he was able to escape by chance, if it wasn’t for Lord Wei’s suggestion, he would still be trapped in prison at this time, and he was very worried.

Found something wrong? Everyone present was shocked and surprised. It’s unbelievable how quickly things have changed. Just now, they also looked around the tree, and they really didn’t see anything unusual.

Helianzhang caught a glimpse of Su Bowen stretching out his hand to comb the sash around his waist, which was ruffled by the wind. He was even more certain that the old guy was still thinking about tidying up his appearance in front of him.

Emperor Yuan Cheng rested his arm on the throne, slightly straightened his sitting posture, and then looked at Zong Zhenglin, his eyes were full of interest. His son responded very quickly.

I just don’t know that in the heart of the Crown Prince, he also admires the woman in Huiyi Palace. The little woman made waves, causing today’s turmoil. It was attracting evil wolves to feed, but she unexpectedly added another fire. I don’t know if the hungry wolves around will be able to keep their tails behind them after a while.

“Is there any difference?” Among the three, Empress Dowager Jin was the first to speak. At first, the old lady took this matter seriously and was eager to find out the truth of the period. Second, the queen mother was also very curious about the sudden leaves of the tung hemp tree. There are many flowers and plants in her palace, and such rare things, apart from ghosts and gods, have never been heard of.

The little eunuch hurriedly kowtowed, but when he raised his head again, he pointed at the tree, and answered very confidently. “Returning to the Empress Dowager’s words, the servant carefully checked the lower part of the tree trunk and found that the bottom was down, and the roots were very wet. I touched the soil with my hands, it was soft and moist, and when I pushed it lightly with my fingertips, the soil actually stuck to the ground. I have it .”

Gu Changde immediately asked someone to try it, and sure enough, it was just like Xiao Xiaozi replied.

“It’s been very hot these few days, and it hasn’t rained for a day. If no one has poured a lot of water in, it shouldn’t be like this. The servant went to check a few flowers and trees around, but they all lacked water, and even The surface of the soil has never been watered thoroughly.”

“It’s just that the servants didn’t have any major issues, and they were too panicked when the incident happened, even if they noticed that the tree had been watered a little, but they didn’t compare them carefully, so they didn’t know it in time. Manage your father-in-law.” The little eunuch looked a little embarrassed, both ashamed and afraid.

Fortunately, Wei Zhen took a step forward at this time, and there were other important things to play.

“Reporting to the emperor, Wei Chen also asked the eunuch in charge of the palace gate. There are indeed three young eunuchs with raw faces these days. Don’t be slack. For two consecutive days, every morning and evening, three cars will be transported inside.” Wei Zhen summoned the eunuch on duty in the Imperial Garden, and the man quickly presented the pamphlet with the number of the waist plate.

At this time, it was made clear that there were really people who poured several tanks full of water under the tree while they were on duty. But if you water too much, the roots will rot, and the entire tree will wither branches and leaves within two or three days, right? This tung hemp tree is a seven-hundred-year-old tree, and it is not without it during the rainstorm season in Shengjing.

The matter has reached the point where this tree has been manipulated, and the truth of the matter is clearly revealed. But the answer to the mystery still tickles everyone’s heart.

Empress Dowager Jin’s tense expression finally eased, and when she looked at the tree again, all that remained was doubt. “I’m afraid this water alone won’t do it.” Sure enough, he was someone who had personally tended flowers and trees, and someone who was not Su Linrou might be able to match his name.

“The Empress Dowager, that person sent water in for another purpose.” Xiao Xiaozi was a little scared. If Lord Wei hadn’t woken him up, this little life would have been lost.

“The purpose of this water is to wash away the remaining odors in the surroundings! The man’s real method is very unorthodox. The peasants call it ‘burning plants’, the slave master taught it, and in the booklet, it should be called ” Fertilizer damage. Originally, the fertilizer damage was only produced by ordinary people, and it was not appropriate to fertilize the flowers and plants. However, this tung hemp tree was deliberately added, and the weight was greatly increased, and it was sprinkled continuously for several days. Put the powder on it. Rinse hard afterwards to annihilate the traces.”

He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and slowly opened it. On the ginger handkerchief, there was a small pile of white powder.

“This is the fine powder found by the servant at the flower bed a few steps away. The servant smelled it, and it was distributed by the palace, and there was a monthly amount of fat powder. This powder was used in the past for Lord Long Live and Mrs. The flowers and plants are placed in the palaces of the goddess, so as not to leave the smell of fertilization in the house. The flowers and plants in the imperial garden, except for a few very expensive pots, are taken care of by others, but this powder is not used.”

When Xiao Xiaozi mentioned the waist card just now, the emperor and the crown prince were already sullen. At this time, he mentioned the allocation rules in the palace, which is even more embarrassing.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in chaos again! Emperor Yuan Cheng was not considered handsome, but there was a hint of sternness on Fang Zheng’s dignified face. After the cleaning of the palace a few years ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, does it mean that it wants to revive it again?

The people below whispered, shaking their heads and sighing at the ominous things in the censor’s mouth, and they all avoided it. Dare to use the will of God to tell things, deceive the current sage, and harm the great prince of Wei… Once this case is thoroughly investigated, I am afraid that it will be fatal.

Glancing at the censor with cold eyes, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and even the queen mother on the side closed his eyes, and slowly fiddled with the Buddha beads.

“Duan Qigao.”

Being pinned to the spot by Emperor Yuancheng’s gloomy gaze, the little old man was so frightened that his clothes were wet with sweat, and his voice trembled. “Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged, and the old minister has no intention of harming His Royal Highness! Wei Chen is also thinking of wishing that my great Wei Jiangshan will last forever, so as soon as I heard about such unlucky things, I immediately rushed to the memorial. There is a gap, because the old ministers are not aware of the supervision, and I see the emperor below shamelessly.” After speaking, he pulled up his sleeves and swayed a corner, whimpering and wailing.

The little old man deserved to have gone through two dynasties, although he was so frightened that his face was no longer bloody, and he was still struggling. “Wei Chen thought that the omen of this matter had been broken, so he should file a case for trial and be strictly examined. The old minister was also deceived by the traitor. If no one took the matter of the banyan tree in the Queen Mother’s Palace, he would rush to the old minister again and again to speak to the old minister. , the old minister dare not participate in the performance of His Royal Highness!”

Zong Zhenglin raised his brows, and there was only ridicule in his eyes. What a repeating villain, this is with a life-saving plan, pushing people out to be scapegoats to stop disasters.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty spare your life. Wei Chen had mistakenly believed the slander and believed that the banyan tree was just the beginning, and then he heard about the withering of the tung hemp, how dare he delay, and then he wrote the memorial overnight and made a big mistake.

” , the doctor with a white beard, who is still upright in the Hall of Diligence and Administration at this moment, and is proud of his death remarks.

Before Emperor Yuancheng could speak, the crown prince in the seat gave him a cold look and spoke first.

“Since you are a first-grade imperial censor, you have no talent and virtue, so how can you stand above the court and serve as a supervisor.”

Su Bowen’s heart jumped. Let Xian get better? Did this grandfather think about sending the first-rank official of the dynasty directly without the approval of the Ministry of Personnel?

The people below were silent, pricked up their ears and waited for a long time. Seeing that Emperor Yuancheng remained calm, they knew that this was the emperor’s tacit approval.

Tsk tsk, this grandfather is more decisive than the abolished prince, with a tenacious heart and a lot of victories. The most important thing is – quite a sacred heart.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard that the Queen Mother is kind and loving, and she can even be involved in the political affairs and society when she appreciates a pot of flowers and trees.” Zong Zhenglin played with his fingers, his eyes dark and dark.

“How strange it is, bring it up and see it with me.” A few days ago, the East Palace dropped a treasure forest because of it. Today, it is about the prince, and Emperor Yuancheng has no idea.
