Chapter 49 The conspiracy inside and outside the palace - half noodle restaurant half palace
Mrs. Mo was pulled to the wing by Tang Bohe. Tang Bohe looked around carefully to make sure there was no one outside the window, and then said: "Something is going to happen to our family."
Mr. Mo said, "What on earth did you mean when you said 'trouble is coming' without making any sense?"
Tang Bohe said: "It's like this, today, yesterday's group of people with a little girl from Yunnan came again today, and after you left, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I went back to the bedroom to use the tube..."
Mr. Mo interrupted him and said with a rather dissatisfied look: "Did you get caught eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"
Tang Bohe said hurriedly: "How is it possible? I am very careful and I will not be discovered if I keep an eye on myself. It was I who heard that they were going to poison His Highness the Third!"
Mrs. Mo didn't hear clearly who he was talking about at first, and said: "Who they poisoned has anything to do with us... Wait a minute, who are you talking about, His Highness the Third Highness?"
Tang Bohe replied: "That's him!"
Mo asked anxiously: "What is going on? Please explain clearly."
Tang Bohe said: "It's like this. The people who booked our house today are the same group. Because the people who booked the private room are Han Chinese, I didn't notice it was this group. They will come after His Highness left at noon today. , and then you happened to go out to buy groceries, so I couldn’t help but listen to what they were talking about..., by the end of what I heard, I knew they wanted to harm His Highness the Third."
He paused for a moment, then continued: "If they were trying to harm ordinary people, why would I be so worried! If this group of people who wanted to kill His Highness failed, it would be fine if they failed to harm His Highness; if His Highness really If they are poisoned to death, then the current Holy Emperor will definitely be furious, and all the details will be traced. As long as it is traced that they have discussed this matter in our store, then..."
He didn't say the next words, but his wife Mo Shi could also imagine what he meant by what he didn't say.
Hearing such a life-threatening event, even though Mr. Mo was usually calm, he couldn't help but panic and said, "Then what should we do?"
Tang Bohe said: "We must try our best to tell the news to His Highness the Third Prince."
Mrs. Mo said: "It would be great if they came today before the Third Highness came down. We could tell His Highness right away."
Tang Bohe said: "You also said that if you had asked me to just listen to what they said yesterday, it would be fine."
Mo said: "What's the point of complaining about me now? Besides, who knew it would be such a big deal yesterday!"
Tang Bohe said: "That group of barbarians requested that things be prepared for them before handing over the poison to those who wanted to poison the Third Highness. We still have time."
Mo said: "We still have a few days, but apart from praying to His Highness to come to our restaurant for dinner again, is there any other way to let His Highness know?"
Tang Bohe said: "What do you think, let's go to Yingtian Mansion to file a complaint?"
Mrs. Mo said: "Listening to what you just said, we are still not sure who wants to harm His Highness the Third Highness; if someone in Yingtian Mansion is one of theirs, then we are not trying to escape the tiger's mouth!"
Tang Bohe then said: "Then let's go talk to Chen Xing? I know roughly where they live. If you want to find out more details, just go there and ask."
Madam Mo became extremely cautious at this time: "Normally, Chen Xing is the bodyguard of His Highness Third Highness. With His Highness, he can achieve great success as long as His Highness takes the throne. But if His Highness happens to have trouble outside the palace, then Chen Xing will be guilty of an unforgivable crime. But if His Highness is poisoned in the palace, then Chen Xing will not have much responsibility; if someone promises Chen Xing a better future, then Chen Xing will not change."
When Tang Bohe heard this, he suddenly said worriedly: "This is not feasible, and it is also dangerous, so what should we do? Can we only pray to the Buddha to protect His Highness's safety?"
Mo said: "It's useless for us to be anxious. Let's do whatever we need to do for the time being. Maybe we will meet someone and suddenly think of a solution."
Tang Bohe had nothing else to say, and the couple were speechless for a while. They could only leave the side room one after another and go back to work restlessly.
After dinner, Yunxi rode back to the Chengtian Gate and handed the horse back to the Royal Horse Prison. He thought that there was nothing else to do with the Ministry of Revenue for the time being, so he could just wait until the 26th after three days to go to Wu Dewei to have a look, so he returned to
Work at the Ministry of War. Ordinarily, with his status, he should not be responsible for such things, but since Lao Zhu has not spoken yet, he might as well continue to work at the Ministry of War honestly.
Of course, working these days is different from before. Originally, the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War was responsible for the assessment of hereditary generals (in fact, it is still called Sima Department. It was only changed to the current name in the 29th year of Hongwu, but for
(For convenience, I will use this name here in advance), but after Yunxi came to the Ministry of War to take charge of this work on August 17, the Langzhong and Yuanwailang of the Military Selection Department happened to think that the work was too busy, so they completely handed over this work to
He did.
From the 18th, Yunxi had too many other things to do, and he had little time to do this job. It also happened that the doctor of the Military Selection Department was arrested. The Military Selection Department had no chief officer and no one to deal with the generals' attacks.
Job matters.
If in the past, the military generals had caused a stir in the Military Selection Department, and all the officials of the Military Selection Department had not been arrested, how could you not do your work? Even when Yunxi first came, the military generals did not dare to face him.
Said, but if Yunxi's assessment is too detailed and the processing is slow, he will have to complain behind his back with his acquaintances. But after the 18th, no one dares to complain even behind his back.
They praised him on various occasions.
However, Yunxi felt embarrassed that he had so much work piled up, and the things that should have been handled five days ago were still hanging around, so he went to the Martial Arts Department in the afternoon and worked hard.
First, sort the military officers who should be inspected, sort out the names of the commanders, commanders, and commanders who were handed over and return them to them. They also put a dozen of them into a team and told them the evaluation policy for middle and senior military attachés.
It has changed. But some generals are from Guangdong, Fukian and other places. Although the Ming Dynasty also has Mandarin, called Nanjing Mandarin, there is no good way to popularize Nanjing Mandarin in this era. Whether to learn it or not depends entirely on self-consciousness, so they can
He probably understood what Yunxi was saying, but Yunxi couldn't understand what they said at all. They were talking like a chicken and a duck.
In the end, it was better for a supervisor to hire a deputy from the Ministry of Industry's Maintenance Office who came from Shantou to serve as a translator.
He was so busy that he couldn't feel the passage of time and it was already dark. Yunxi dragged his tired body step by step back to the Wenhua Palace. When he arrived at the Wenhua Gate, he met the little eunuch sent by Lao Zhu again.
Ask him to go to Qianqing Palace. Yunxi wailed in his heart, but he still had to go, so he could only stomp to Qianqing Palace step by step.
