Of course, a few shrimps were not worthwhile when Zhao Bing asked in person, but after breakfast every day, he led a team of guards to the Imperial Guardian's General Office to the hearing. The reason he did this was to convey to the outside world that he was very concerned about this case and must find out the truth; the second was that the palace was too boring, and it would be better to stay in the General Office's General Office and could go out for a walk if he had time.
Zhao Bing was free, not only making the court nervous, but also making Zheng Huchen and Ni Liang nervous. They all knew the temperament of this young man. He had to go out for a walk since he was a child. Now that he had a legitimate reason and had to take off the Queen Mother's control, who could limit him? He had to keep a close eye on him at all times. When he found that he had something wrong, he immediately followed him to avoid something.
"Your Majesty!" Today is the tenth day of the case of slandering the emperor. The young emperor arrived on time early in the morning. Ni Liang was already waiting outside the door. Seeing the saint coming, Ni Liang stepped forward to salute and pulled the reins of the horse, preparing to help the young emperor dismount.
"I told you a long time ago that if you have something to do, you don't have to wait here every day!" Zhao Bing turned over and jumped off the horse, throwing the reins to Chen Dun.
"No, I can't break the rules!" Ni Liang shook his head and said seriously.
"Oh, let it go!" Zhao Bing looked at Ni Liang and sighed helplessly, and led him into the mansion.
The imperial guards were originally the emperor's personal army, and they were composed of elite troops in the army. They have always been known for their strict military discipline and strong combat effectiveness. In addition, they not only have the leadership of the guards, but also have the guards directly under the Chief Commander Office, the cavalry battalion and the logistics battalion. Even on weekdays, they are on high alert. Now that the imperial prisoner is closed, His Majesty works here every day, so there are more guard posts that are twice as many as usual.
But Zhao Bing felt at ease. After all, this was the origin of his business. At first, he lived in the guard camp all day long, just like his own home. If he felt unsafe here, there would be no place to sleep. So he was very relaxed, and he would say hello to the familiar veterans from time to time and chat for a few days, which was a little more relaxing than in the palace.
"Have you arrived at the head of Zheng?" The arrested prisoners were locked in the backyard of the government office. In order to facilitate the interrogation, they were also arranged there. Through the central hall, the central area of ​​the government office was behind. Zhao Bing asked while walking.
"Your Majesty, Chief Zheng did not go back yesterday, it must have been a trial overnight!" Ni Liang replied.
"Master Zheng is not young anymore. You have to take good care of yourself, and you need to have a more refined meal. In addition, you can clean up a yard so that you can take a break for a while." Zhao Bing said after hearing this, and he couldn't help but sigh that ten years have passed, and he is already middle-aged.
"I obey the order. Now the meals of Director Zheng are all supplied by Xiaochang, but he refuses to exceed the standards." Ni Liang said in a hint.
"Zheng Zheng is a wise man. Your grade has surpassed him. Because he is under the Imperial City Department, he is only in the fifth grade so far, so he is wronged." Zhao Bing sighed lightly.
"Well, my subordinates also feel unfair. Chief Zheng's contribution is far superior to those high-ranking officials in the court. Not only do they have to hide their names, but they can only surrender to others." Ni Liang said unsatisfiedly.
"If all the officials in the court were like Zheng, there would be no such disputes!" Zhao Bing said with emotion.
"After that being said, it's too unfair to Zheng Zheng." Ni Liang said with a dark face despite the sadness of the little emperor.
"Haha, even you are unfair. I really feel ashamed of him!" Zhao Bing laughed dryly, "Since it's not possible, let's come secretly and become a title for him after I take power."
"Why is Your Majesty so happy?" Zhao Bing and his group had arrived at the place without realizing it, and Zheng Huchenye was already waiting in front of the door and asked with a smile.
"A good thing, of course it's a good thing!" Zhao Bing pulled Ni Liang's clothes and told him not to talk too much, so he bowed his hand and said with a respectful look.
"Today is the day when Your Majesty invites you to the date. The wedding is approaching, so good things are coming." Zheng Huchen said with a smile.
"Please ask for an appointment? Today is the day I request an appointment, and I have forgotten it a long time ago." Zhao Bing frowned, pinched his fingers and calculated that it was indeed the case, and said with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty forgets his private country and forgets his family. I admire him very much!" Zheng Huchen said again.
"I dare not take it. Instead, Zheng Zheng is diligent in his work and respectfully." Zhao Bing stepped forward and said to each other.
When the little emperor was sent here, Ni Liang left without even entering the yard. The courtyard was not big. In the past, it should have been an office place. The middle was the place where the chief officials worked. Now it was changed to an interrogation place. The left and right sides were used as office places where the affairs bureau and the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple sent personnel. The east and west wing rooms in the yard were used as prison rooms for detaining prisoners and the duty room for the detention soldiers.
The backyard was Zhao Bing's temporary resting place, with the guards as the guard camp, and several small yellow gates were responsible for serving. When Zhao Bing entered the house, a brazier had already been built here, and the house was warm and warm. The small yellow gate helped him remove the cloak and boots outside, and gave him hot tea and snacks. He asked Zheng Huchen and Chen Dun to sit down around the short cock.
"I heard from Ni Liang that you haven't been sleeping all night. Remember to be careful and don't work too hard!" Zhao Bing looked at Zheng Huchen's eyes with bloodshots and said with concern.
"Thank you, my subordinates are in good health. I have also slept for two hours in the morning, it's okay." Zheng Huchen waved his hand and said.
"Well, I have asked Ni Liang to pack up a yard. If you are too late, you can rest there. Besides, there is no need to do everything yourself. Just have the people below to deal with these little shrimps." Zhao Bing said.
"This... your Majesty is worried about such a small matter, and I am afraid." Zheng Huchen said in a very touching manner when he heard this.
"Hey, I have always cared about your contributions. The role of regaining the Jiangnan Affairs Bureau is far better than my two armies. Even if someone changes the land of the thirty states in the Central Plains, I will not agree." Zhao Bing waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, how many states are you worth?" Chen Dun said with a slight interest after hearing this.
"If the county prime minister was changed from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, I would feel that I would have taken a huge advantage!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this is too partial!" Chen Dun was anxious when he heard this, and said with glaring eyes.
"Commander Chen, Your Majesty is joking!" Zheng Huchen said to him, "If you are in trouble, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be the first to lead troops to save you. Even if it is thousands of mountains and rivers, you will never hesitate."
"I don't believe that my life is not as good as the county, so it's not worthy of your Majesty's personal expedition!" Chen Dun knew in his heart that Zheng Huchen was right, but his head still shook like a rattle.
"Ignore him, did the interrogation last night have achieved results?" Zhao Bing gave Chen Dun a blank look and asked instead.
"Your Majesty, yesterday Li Kuan finally spitted that he was caught by Ding Qi. He threatened to impeach him and was arranged by him to disturb the renovation of the Eastern Palace. However, he did not know that Ding Qi would use this to participate in the affairs of Your Majesty's embezzlement of the country!" Zheng Huchen replied, "So his subordinates interrogated Ding Qi again, but this thief was also stubborn. Although he admitted to the instructor Li Kuan, he refused to recruit the instructor, and only said that it was for the country's affairs."
"What about the other people?" Zhao Bing asked with a chuckling.
"These few wanted to continue to deny at first, but after a meal, they said that they were bewitched by Ding Qi and signed the memorial while drunk." Zheng Huchen replied.
"Haha, a sixth-rank censor can make them all obey the arrangements. Who would believe this matter? There must be hidden information!" Zhao Bing said with a sneer.
"Your Majesty said exactly, and my subordinates thought so. After sending people to investigate from the outside, they found that it was not as they had no deep friendship as they said before, but that there was a close connection and pointed to one person." Zheng Huchen nodded.
"Wang Zhen, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel!" Zhao Bing said.
"Oh, Your Majesty already knows?" Zheng Huchen said in surprise.
"No, it's the guess that the governor and Shangshu Jiang had analyzed based on the situation of the people involved in the case. There was no evidence. They just wanted to confirm whether their guess was accurate." Zhao Bing waved his hand and denied it, but he also knew from his expression that the old man had a good analysis.
"If you should not do what you think of, this matter should be related to Wang Zhen. These people involved in the case are either his fellow countrymen or recommended to re-enter the officialdom, and have close contacts in private, especially Ding Qi has always regarded himself as his disciple and often goes to Wang Zhen's residence." Zheng Huchen said.
"So his subordinates mobilized people to collect Wang Zhen's situation overnight, and interrogated Ding Qi again. Under the great punishment, he confessed that this matter was instructed by Wang Zhen, who contacted his colleagues and implemented it in detail. The investigation also resulted in Wang Zhen's investigation. After he moved back to Lin'an, he began to deliberately recruit his party members and use his power to insert them into various provinces. Because they often met with poems in Nanping Mountain, they called themselves Nanping Society, and had formed a party, communicated with each other in the court and protected each other."
"Since it has been confirmed that Wang Zhen is the mastermind, why not take him down? Wouldn't it be a bad thing to let him run away?" Chen Dun said anxiously.
"Commander Chen, Wang Zhen is a third-rank official of the court. How could he arrest and interrogate without an imperial edict? It was already the third update at that time, and I could not enter the palace to ask for imperial edicts!" Zheng Huchen explained.
"Master Zheng, did Your Majesty give you the right to enter the palace to see the emperor at any time?" Chen Dun said again.
"Your Majesty gave the gold medal, but it is not urgent, how can you abuse it!" Zheng Huchen smiled.
"You really should have followed Zheng Zheng to practice for a few years, otherwise you will never be able to change your cynical and reckless temperament." Chen Dun had to say it again, but was interrupted by Zhao Bing, "Do you find that Wang Zhen has any signs of collusion with the Mongol Yuan?"
"Report to Your Majesty, you have not yet discovered any evidence of collusion with enemy countries and interactions with the enemy, and it still needs further investigation." Zheng Huchen replied.
"Well! What are the arrangements for Zheng Zheng next?" Zhao Bing nodded. What he was most worried about was that the court officials colluded with the Mongolian Yuan, which was not a conflict among the people, but a conflict between the enemy and us. It was impossible for him to kill him if he couldn't think about it.
"I think I should continue to dig deeper, find out what the purpose of impeaching Your Majesty is, and find out who his party is and who is involved in the case? Instead of rushing to close the case!" Zheng Huchen replied.
"Well, then what do you think you should check?" Zhao Bing pondered for a moment.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that it should be carried out simultaneously. On the one hand, they continue to investigate whether they collude with the enemy, and on the other hand, they continue to investigate the people involved." Zheng Huchen thought, "When his subordinates thought that they could use the method of alarming the snake, they would first release two unknown people involved, but they kept summoning relevant people from Nanping Club to come and ask, making them unable to figure out how much we have grasped, making them all in danger and guard against each other. In panic, they would inevitably not show their strength."
"Okay, you can handle this accordingly, so that Wang Zhen can't figure out our way. But I thought I could send someone to summon Wang Zhen at the same time to see his current attitude." Zhao Bing curled his lips and smiled wickedly.
"Haha, Your Majesty's idea is always unexpected." Zheng Huchen understood after thinking for a moment, and said with a smile, "Summoning Wang Zhen will make his followers panic. If you don't know what to do, you will definitely inquire about it and reveal your behavior. If you release someone at the same time, you will also make Wang Zhen think that his party has already confessed to him, which will make him lose his mind and be suspicious of others. If you are suspicious of each other, you will definitely try to protect yourself. Whether you have collusion with the enemy will be revealed."
"Since that's the case, I'll take people to capture Wang Zhen now, don't let him run away!" Chen Dun stood up and said hurriedly.
"The situation is not clear at this time, and he will not run away. Besides, today is the day when Your Majesty's wedding is inviting you to the court to arrest people and disturb the ceremony. Where will Your Majesty be trapped?" Zheng Huchen said with a hint of amusement when he saw this.
"Master Zheng is right. It is always inappropriate to arrest people in the hall. It is better to take people in his yamen." Zhao Bing said, "It's all today. Master Zheng worked hard all night and should have a good rest. I'll have a relaxing day."
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you go private visit again?" As soon as the little emperor said, Zheng Huchen immediately became alert and asked in deep doubt. He said that private visits were for him to save face, and he was probably shopping. If something happened, how could he take care of himself?
"No, I'm just curious about what to do when I ask for an appointment. I want to go and see it, otherwise..." Zhao Bing didn't hide it and said straightforwardly, but in the end he couldn't think of an appropriate word to express it.
"Your Majesty, please ask the Empress Dowager to take care of you. Relevant people will do it. Your Majesty does not need to show up, otherwise it will violate the etiquette and law!" Zheng Huchen was amused and crying when he heard this. The little emperor was going to watch his excitement. His behavior was too naive, but he thought that he was still a child in the end, so he dissuaded him.
"What's wrong with this? I think the people of the Wu family don't know me, so they sneak into the mansion to have a meal. Isn't it very interesting!" Zhao Bing was still playing and said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
