Gao Jingxian and Gao Jingting went south to receive the prince, and they traveled as a guard of honor for the prince.
An exclusive carriage, the crown prince's ceremonial flag, and a large-scale travel... This was Zhao Xi's decision after careful consideration.
The more concealed you are at this time, the more likely accidents will occur. The loud noise is actually a kind of intimidation. It also informs the people along the way and even Jinghu Road that the Prince is on Jinghu Road.
Similarly, such momentum will also make the garrison troops along the line from Bianliang to Xiangzhou alert to avoid any surprises in the process of welcoming the prince.
This should be the most stable way.
There have always been rumors that the princes will take the major exams when they reach adulthood, and at the same time, they will serve in various places in the country according to the appointment channels of Jinshi. In addition, in all the great court meetings in recent years, no princes or princes appeared, so the courtiers were convinced
heard this rumor.
Now, the imperial court has introduced the prince to Beijing with a high profile, which further confirms this rumor.
The discussion among the courtiers was basically about guessing the title of the prince in Jinghu, without thinking too much about it.
As far as the current political situation of the country is concerned, no one will think about the mess, nor should there be such a mess.
Over the years of official governance, it can be said that the state of the country has undergone rapid changes. The reputation of the official family among the people is even greater than that in the court, almost to the extent that thousands of families have Buddhas.
Regardless of whether they are scholar-bureaucrats, merchants, traders, or common people, their living standards have been greatly improved during the years of official governance.
In fact, the chaos and various uprisings that occurred every once in a while under the late emperor have almost disappeared since the officials came to power. Even the bandits that have always been difficult for the country to deal with have disappeared in recent years...
··Because the new army cannot compete with the bandits at all.
Therefore, no one thought about anything else. They just knew that this was a big ceremony and the prince was going to the front desk.
All the work related to the surrender and the great ceremony are being carried out in an orderly manner.
It seems that everything in the court is normal, at least it behaves normally. But the ministers and ministers who participated in the discussion knew in their hearts that the officials were suppressing the anger and making the largest etiquette concession in the history of the country. There was no target.
He did not take any action regarding the attack on the prince.
Indeed, when the court was preparing for such a high-level and high-profile ceremonial event, there were royal families and nobles from the party receiving awards, and there were also envoys from various countries watching the ceremony. The attack on the prince was not suitable for publicity and must be put aside for the time being.
But Zhao Xi didn't really give it up.
The Imperial City Division is not under the control of the imperial court. On the surface, the Imperial City Division of Yidu is traveling south with its officials. In fact, the Imperial City Division has already initiated emergency procedures... At this time, on Jinghu Road
The Imperial City Bureau found out that there were no less than two thousand people.
At the same time, there was the Guochao household delivery network controlled by Zhao Qin, and the network on Jinghu Road was also taken over by the Imperial City Division.
"The official, Jinghu Road, urgently reported: traces of gangsters were found in Funiu Mountain, 576 people. Except for more than 300 casualties when attacking the prince, the rest also died. The cause of death was poisoning, or ingestion of poison.
Committed suicide. Wang Yaban is speculated to be a dead soldier..."
Shi Deyi temporarily assumed the role of accompanying the officials, and at the same time compiled the reports from the Imperial City Division. The entire report did not add a single word, and was all a textual retelling of Wang Zhongzheng's report.
Zhao Xi looked at Wang Zhongzheng's report and didn't say anything. He just asked Shi Deyi to file it.
When Zhao Qin was asked to hand over the Jinghu Road Post Network to Wang Zhongzheng for control, he had already given instructions to the Imperial City Division on how to conduct the next investigation.
Zhao Xi had already anticipated the outcome of the attack on the prince. The breakthrough point in the investigation of the prince's attack may not necessarily lie with this group of gangsters. Since he was planning to attack the prince, he could not have thought of this.
"Go and inform Chief Inspector Fan about the Jinghu Road investigation and ask the Supervisory Office to get involved."
Regarding the current situation of the country, Zhao Xi believed that if the actions of hundreds of people were not noticed by the local state government, there would be great doubts. Zhao Xi had some vague thoughts in his heart and kept suppressing them, as if he was taboo to think about it.
It was also because of Zhao Xi's uneasiness that he ordered the Supervisory Office to also intervene in the investigation of this incident.
There are too many affairs in the court recently, so Zhao Xi cannot calm down and think about this matter carefully. All he can do is wait for the prince to return to the court, and then ask about the result.
A formal investigation will probably have to wait until the imperial court concludes this surrender and the ceremony...
When the prince returned to the court, all the cabinet went to the station to greet him. It seemed a bit grand, but it was normal. The entire court staff did not feel this was a surprise. After all, the prince was out of the palace for training, and this was the first time for him to serve as a king.
As the heir to the great unification, he walked to the front desk, and the cabinet ministers were able to speak more solemnly.
Only a limited number of people know in their hearts that the cabinet is an expression of condolences. In the country, or according to the practice of the country, the prince has never been able to make his ministers so respectful. Even in the official family, in the East Palace,
He already had a certain reputation, and in the eyes of the husband at that time, that was all.
Therefore, the so-called greeting was just a greeting at the station. When the prince's honor guard took off, the cabinet all went back to the palace. The prince needed to enter the palace to see His Majesty...
"Dad, the child is okay..."
There was a little excitement, maybe it was the feeling of surviving a disaster. The prince, who had always been stable, also had some emotional differences when he saw his father.
"It's fine if nothing happens. Let's go to the back garden to pay my respects to my mother. We'll talk about the situation in detail later."
Zhao Xi did not hide the attack on the prince from Tao's mother, which is why he sent the Gao family brothers to lead troops to fetch the prince. In Zhao Xi's opinion, any general can do this, so the reason why he let the Gao family lead the team
, to give Tao Niang peace of mind.
The prince was nagging for a long time when he entered the back garden, and Zhao Xi was stunned for a long time without even turning a few pages of the memorial in hand.
"Dad, in fact, when the water transport ship entered the water, the guards were already on alert. It should be that the baby's identity was exposed before he left Chengdu this time. So, after diverting to the land route, the entire guard team gathered together."
"Going north by land, the child was mixed with the guards under the arrangement of the Imperial City Division. When the guards were attacked, they directly changed their clothes and borrowed the channels of the Imperial City Division. The kid immediately arrived at the safe house of the Imperial City Division to wait.
.”
"The child has been under strict protection... In fact, the child is not afraid. The father has taught the child, and the child has never put it down for a while. Although he is not alone among millions of people, it is just those chickens and dogs, the child
We can still break through the siege. What's more, the thieves retreated after seeing that they couldn't accomplish anything and suffered too many casualties."
"At that time, the Imperial City Department intended to send people to track him down, but it was Hao'er who called him. The failure to trace the thief was due to Hao'er's mishandling."
"Dad, the court has important matters. The child is fine. The thief has been crowned. The child believes that the court is an important weapon and there is no need to worry about it. You can consider it after all the court affairs are over."
