Chapter 1188 The eighth brother took the initiative to ask Ying
At first glance, it seemed that someone was deliberately chasing the prince. What Ling Pu committed this time was quite serious. The woman who died after hitting a pillar died at the gate of Dali Temple.
Nowadays, the whole city is in trouble, and anyone who mentions Ling Pu and his son will spit hard.
Emperor Kangxi was also furious about this and wanted to send someone to investigate the matter immediately, but he must be cautious in selecting this person. He looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said: "I wonder if there is any beloved minister who is willing to investigate this matter thoroughly?"
As soon as these words came out, the silence in the court hall could be heard.
No one dared to stand up.
None of the courtiers are fools. Now it seems that the king of hell is fighting. How can it be good for little devils like them to get involved?
Whoever steps forward may become the target of public criticism.
Not to mention this, this matter is also extremely difficult. If you do something wrong, I am afraid that the Qingming that you have been an official for so many years will be ruined in one moment.
The people are very concerned about this matter.
Emperor Kangxi waited for a long time, but no one answered. Then he asked again. The court was still very quiet.
Emperor Kangxi looked around and found that all the civil and military officials were shrinking their necks, and no one dared to raise his head.
Such an appearance made Emperor Kangxi laugh angrily: "Okay, I have really raised a group of good and responsible ministers!
The way you all shrink your neck makes me feel so fresh.
What? You think this matter is difficult? You don’t even want to take it on?
Does that mean I can't check it myself?
I'm afraid you have completely forgotten the things of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor after you have been officials for so many years, right?
If this is the case, all of them should take off their hair and go home to take care of themselves in old age!"
After saying this, Emperor Kangxi became angry and slapped the table, frightening all the civil and military officials to kneel down: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am guilty. I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."
Emperor Kangxi sneered when he heard what they said: "Are you willing to share your worries? So you mean to ask me to point it out?"
Emperor Kangxi spoke calmly and exuded a temperament that made people feel that this was the calm before the storm.
All the courtiers immediately kowtowed again: "I am guilty."
Just as Emperor Kangxi was squinting his eyes to look at the civil and military officials, someone suddenly stood out from the crowd.
"Huang Ama, I am willing to share the worries of Huang Ama. Can I leave this matter to you for a thorough investigation?" The Eighth Prince stood upright and stood out among the crowd.
Emperor Kangxi narrowed his eyes and looked at the eighth prince. In fact, he did not want the princes to interfere in this matter, especially the older ones.
Prince Zhi and Lao Ba usually stay close to each other.
The prince, the fourth son, the sixth son and others are close to each other, so it is inevitable that they will be biased.
But now no one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty has come forward. Emperor Kangxi turned his eyes and said: "Okay, I will leave this matter to Lao Ba. I will let the Minister of Dali Temple work with you to handle it. We must investigate it thoroughly."
There must be no mistakes.”
"Yes, I accept your orders!" Eighth Prince replied sonorously and forcefully.
Emperor Kangxi nodded and waved everyone away.
The prince and fourth master looked at each other, each seeing surprise in the other's eyes.
It seems that the fourth master really thought about asking for help, but after all, he belongs to the prince's party. If this happens, it may harm the second brother's reputation.
Now Lao Ba has taken the initiative to take over this matter, but Huang Ama has allowed it. This matter seems to be somewhat disadvantageous to them.
After leaving the court, the prince discussed the matter with the Fourth Master and the Sixth Master for a long time.
A charter was just drawn up here, and immediately afterwards someone impeached Ling Pu for corruption and accepting bribes, and advised Emperor Kangxi to confiscate Ling Pu's home.
The prince naturally wants to keep Ling Pu. Ling Pu has been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for some time and his family fortune is quite rich.
The prince was really afraid that something else would be found in his place, so this kind of ransack was absolutely forbidden.
Obviously, Emperor Kangxi had no intention of picking up Ling Pu's legacy, so he left the news unreleased. He just suppressed Ling Pu for the time being and asked Ba Age and Dali Temple to give the news as soon as possible.
The court was extremely tense for a while, and there was no chance of a peaceful day.
As a member of the prince's party, the fourth master was very busy at the time.
Chu Yu counted with her fingers and realized that Fourth Master had not been able to properly accompany her for at least a month.
It is said that Chu Yu has also been thinking about things in the court these past two days.
Not for anything else, I just want to know what the fourth master is busy with this whole day without seeing anyone.
Jiang Fuhai was a eunuch after all, and he was somewhat restrained when it came to inquiring into things.
Chu Yu actually wanted to send some news to Nian Xiyao and his wife and ask them to investigate.
But thinking about it carefully, it would be better for her not to act rashly at this moment. After all, she doesn't know what is going on in the court, and she is somewhat related to the Fourth Master anyway.
It would be bad for her, a housewife, to receive the ministers of the court and have the Fourth Master stabbed in the spine.
Then an idea struck him and he immediately said, "Why hasn't Master Jiu come here for several days? What has he been busy with recently?"
By the way, Lao Jiu usually comes to her place every once in three days, but now it seems that he hasn't been here for nearly half a month.
Tian Qi happened to come into the room with a cup of tea at this moment. After hearing what Chu Yu said, he immediately smiled and said: "Master, when Master Jiu left last time, he said he was going to Zhuangzi to stay for a few days. Have you forgotten?
"
After hearing this, Yun Jing smiled and nodded: "Counting the days, Master Jiu should be back by now."
After hearing what they said, Chu Yu patted her forehead: "Oh, that's right, that brat said he was going to Zhuangzi."
Then Chu Yu said: "I will ask someone to go to his house later and ask if he is back. If he is back, tell him that I will invite the couple to have a meal together."
Yun Jing nodded immediately: "I know this, so I'll give you the order now."
"Hey? Wait!" Chu Yu stopped Yun Jing again before she went out: "There are also Mr. and Mrs. Shi, um... let Xiao Jiang go to the palace again, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, ten
If five and sixteen are free, please invite them all.
It happened that they had finished their classes in the afternoon and came back with Pangpang and the others, so they talked about my roasted mutton tonight."
"Yes, master, if you talk about eating, I'm afraid a dozen brothers will definitely come here together."
Chu Yu smiled and nodded, waving to Yun Jing to tell her to go quickly.
In the study room, after listening to Jiang Fuhai's words, the brothers all became happy.
"That's great, Fourth Sister-in-law finally remembered us." Brother Fourteen said this with some resentment.
It is said that his fourth brother does not allow them to make trouble with his fourth sister-in-law, but if the fourth sister-in-law wants to invite them to the house, the fourth brother will most likely not refuse.
It's just that his fourth sister-in-law hasn't thought of them for a long time.
