Chapter 556 Gathering in Jingzhao Mansion
Chapter 556 Gathering at Jingzhao Mansion
After taking all the people away, Wei Zheng returned.
Seeing so many copper coins, gold and silver at the scene, he walked up to his eldest grandson in puzzlement, cupped his hands and said, "I am here to see the queen."
Empress Changsun nodded and said, "Wei Zheng, have you found out?"
Wei Zheng said: "I have asked people to follow a few suspicious people. The results should be available soon."
"That's good. You can take responsibility for this matter and let Baiqi handle it when the time comes."
"Yes, Queen."
"Tang Jian, have someone put the gold and silver back into the treasury, and send back the copper coins as well." Changsun ordered again.
"yes."
Empress Changsun said to the others: "Go to Jingzhao Mansion."
"yes."
Wei Zheng and Cui Minqian followed their eldest grandson to Jingzhao Mansion.
On the way, they met Hou Junji and others, and took them with them. Except for Yuchi Gong and Niu Jinda, everyone returned to Jingzhao Mansion again.
Fang Xuanling and Li Chengqian arrived at Jingzhao Mansion first and learned about the current chaos in Chang'an from Du Ruhui.
"Xuanling, tell me, when will His Majesty wake up?" Du Ruhui asked.
"I don't know." Fang Xuanling said.
Li Chengqian said: "Don't worry, Mr. Du, my mother has arrived in Chang'an and has gone to the bank. It is estimated that the bank matter will be resolved soon."
"It's great that the Queen is here. Your Majesty and the Queen are indistinguishable from each other. With the Queen in Chang'an, we can suppress those gangsters and restore law and order in Chang'an." Du Ruhui said very pleased.
Li Chengqian said: "Master Du, who owns the army outside the city? Why is there no news until now?"
Fang Xuanling said: "I thought it would be good to catch a King of Han, but another King of Yan jumped out."
"Xuanling, what do you mean by this?" Du Ruhui asked, as if he could smell a hint of conspiracy.
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "What do you mean? Didn't I say that catching the King of Han is already very good. I didn't expect another King of Han to appear. I really didn't expect it."
When Your Majesty is ill, so many clowns appear."
Du Ruhui still felt a little weird, but he didn't ask again. He knew that Fang Xuanling would naturally say it when he wanted to say it, and it was useless to ask when he didn't want to say it.
While everyone was waiting for Empress Changsun, a group of people suddenly appeared in Qi Guo Gong's mansion. They held the gold medal given by the emperor in their hands and took away all Qi Guo Gong's account books.
Dou Yi, who was in Jingzhao Mansion, had no idea about this matter until someone from the Dou family came over. The person who came was the future Duke of Qi, Dou Yi's second son Dou Xian.
When everyone saw him coming, they all looked at Dou Yi without knowing why.
Dou Yi asked in confusion: "Xian'er, why are you here?"
Dou Xian immediately replied: "Dad, someone came to the house with the gold medal given by His Majesty and took away all the account books in the house very forcefully."
"What's going on?" Dou Yi asked.
"I don't know, so I came here to ask if His Majesty is unconscious? Why would he send someone to get the account books from the mansion?" Dou Xian said.
Then he looked at Li Chengqian and others and said, "Prince, Prime Minister Du, do you know about this?"
Li Chengqian said: "How could I know? I only know that my father was very angry after seeing the man in the iron mask, and then he arranged a lot of things. Everyone knows this.
But no one knows what tasks Father has arranged for everyone, so if you ask Gu, I won’t be able to answer you."
Dou Xian looked at his father, and when he saw Dou Yi's slight nod, his mood became much more relaxed.
"Father, what should we do now? I don't know if the person who took the account book is someone sent by His Majesty."
Fang Xuanling asked first: "Besides the account books, is there anything else?"
"this"
"Ahem"
Dou Xian was about to answer, but was interrupted by Dou Yi's cough.
Dou Xian seemed to know something, and said quickly: "It came out too fast, and I haven't asked my family to count it yet. At the moment, I only know that they took away the ledger."
"Mr. Dou, why don't you go back to your house and take a look first?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Dou Yi shook his head and said: "You don't have to go there, Xian'er. You can go back. Regardless of whether it was sent by His Majesty or not, since the other party holds the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty, then it is as if His Majesty is here in person. Whatever they want, you will give them."
.”
"Yes, father." Dou Xian responded.
Then he said hello to Fang Xuanling and the others and returned home.
Not long after, Queen Changsun took Hou Junji and others back to Jingzhao Mansion.
Li Chengqian, Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all stood up and saluted: "See the queen (mother)."
Queen Changsun walked to the front seat, sat down and said, "No need to be polite. Everyone, please sit down."
"Thank you Queen (Mother)."
After everyone was seated, Changsun spoke again: "Has the man in the iron mask been arrested and brought to justice?"
"Not yet." Du Ruhui said.
Fang Xuanling said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the Iron Masked Man can only focus on surveillance at present and cannot provoke him. If you are sure to arrest him, you must be prepared to completely eliminate him. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to catch him, but you will
Let Chang'an fall into chaos again.
At the same time, the palace may still be attacked, and there is really nothing we can do about the hot air balloons in the sky.
At this moment, we can only stabilize the opponent, and only after the academy's hot air balloon is invented can we be able to deal with the man in the iron mask."
Empress Changsun nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Chang'an is indeed not suitable for chaos again, and the palace cannot be attacked a second time.
Let’s put aside the matter of the Iron Masked Man. After His Majesty was injured, everyone worked diligently to maintain the law and order in Chang’an. Otherwise, chaos would break out in Chang’an. I would like to thank you all again.”
Then Queen Changsun stood up and saluted everyone.
Fang Xuanling and others quickly stood up and returned the courtesy, saying at the same time: "Queen, you must not do this."
Queen Changsun said: "My dear friends, are there any problems in Chang'an that cannot be solved at present?"
Du Ruhui said: "Reporting to your Majesty, there is currently no one in Chang'an City, but there is an unknown army outside Chang'an City, which is eyeing Chang'an. We don't know whether this army is the army of King Li You of Yan or the army of King Li Yuanchang of Han."
Changsun frowned and said, "What do they want to do? Are they planning to rebel? Let's go to the city wall together."
"Yes." Everyone responded.
On the city wall, Yuchi Gong held Li Yuanchang on the city wall, threatening the army on the wall and asking them to retreat.
However, the army under the city wall did not make the slightest move, neither retreating nor attacking, they just stayed outside the city.
This made Yuchi Gong extremely depressed. He didn't know who the other party was. Whether they were here to help or to fight against Chang'an, he didn't know any of this.
If he doesn't know, it is difficult for him to take action. Once he takes action, there will be casualties. If the other party comes to help, then it will only increase the casualties.
