Chapter 513 The Truth Comes Out
With these people supporting Wu Youwei, no one dared to really do black hands to Wu Youwei.
In addition, although His Royal Highness knew that the husband wanted to "avoid suspicion" at home, he was very close to Wu Mingde, the bachelor of the lecturer, and even asked him to send a lot of things to Wu Youwei.
While Wu Youwei was waiting for the results at home, he was not idle either. He happened to go back to Moring Villa to look at his apricot grove.
It has been 20 years, and there are several old apricot trees in the apricot forest, which have grown very large.
Of course, there are also some small apricot trees, which were planted a few years ago, and the dead apricot trees were sent to the fruit wood roast duck.
Walking in the apricot forest, you can smell the smell of apricot blossoms. There are not only home apricot trees, but also mountain apricot trees, with scattered heights and blooming flowers.
Wu Youwei walked around wearing home clothes tfP, and the depression in his heart became much less.
Wantong rarely said with a straight face: "It's really nice here."
"That is, this is built according to the park of later generations. Not only are there trees and flowers, but also lake water and lounge chairs." Wu Youwei found a chair and sat down, and said to Wan: "We will go fishing in a while. All the fish are not salvaged now, they are all caught by tourists.”
"Okay, let's go fishing." As long as Wu Youwei is in a good mood, Wantong will accompany him to do everything.
"Aren't you going back?" Wu Youwei tilted his head to look at Wantong. In his memory, this person was very busy, and he took occasional rests by his side.
It's been seven days, why haven't you returned to the capital?
"Isn't it good to be here with you?" Wan Tao said, "Let Wan Jie, Wan Kun, and Wan Zhuang practice, and Li Qing needs to be alone. I can't be their lifelong backer."
He intends to delegate power, let them all exercise, and see who is suitable in the future to take over the post of Commander of Jinyiwei.
"Okay then." Wu Youwei smiled: "It's just right, we haven't had a rest for many years, and this rest is enough!"
Sure enough, the two of them took buckets and fishing rods and went fishing in the apricot forest. They also found dry branches and grilled the fish on the spot. Not to mention, the taste was really good.
Just when the two of them were leisurely and carefree in Xanadu, something big happened in Shandong.
Taishan, an earthquake!
Mount Tai is also known as Daishan, Daizong, Daiyue, Dongyue and Taiyue.
Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as a paradise "connecting directly to the throne", and became a sacred mountain worshipped by the people and worshipped by emperors.
Because the East is the source of life, a symbol of hope and auspiciousness.
The ancient ancestors often regarded the majestic and peculiar Dongyue as a god, and worshiped the mountain god as an object to pray for good weather. Therefore, Mount Tai in the east became the "auspicious mountain" and "the place where all things are bred". House of the Gods".
The "son of heaven" who was appointed by heaven as the emperor even regarded Mount Tai as a symbol of national unity and power.
In order to thank the Emperor of Heaven for the grace of "giving orders", he must also go to Mount Tai to enshrine the gods and offer sacrifices.
Now this mountain that symbolizes "Taiping" has an earthquake!
Then contact the anomalies of earthquakes and astrology in the first month.
The whole court was shaken!
Moreover, according to the urgent official document from Shandong, Mount Tai did not stop immediately, but trembled repeatedly.
It's enough to be really funny once, what's the meaning of repeated shocks?
Natural disasters have always been more frightening to the ancient people than man-made disasters, so the governor of Shandong did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly sent someone eight hundred miles to Beijing.
Now, while the imperial court was frying the pot, some people said that it was because the prince did not cultivate personal morality. There was such a gentleman, who was simply unbearable.
In addition to the oolong incident of forcibly marrying a civilian girl last year, the people who didn't know the truth were also confused for a while. What did His Highness the Crown Prince do?Make God dissatisfied to such an extent?
Emperor Xianzong didn't know what he was thinking, he asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send him to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to Mount Tai on Wuwu, April of Xia, on the grounds that Mount Tai was repeatedly shaken!
"What?" Wu Youwei stopped doing it as soon as he heard about it: "At this time, how can His Royal Highness be sent out? What if... this is not...?"
"Don't worry, he's not going alone, he's accompanied by many people." Wan Tongdao: "When the prince travels, he will naturally have a lot of ostentation. Wherever he goes, there will be guards all over the place." Wu Youwei is still worried.
Wantong told him in a low voice: "And he left, some things will be easier to handle."
Wu Youwei looked at him with doubts in his eyes.
"This is the emperor's arrangement." Wan Tao said: "The emperor values the prince highly and will not let him take risks. Besides, offering sacrifices to Mount Tai is a supreme honor."
When Wu Youwei heard that it was arranged by Emperor Xianzong, he felt a little worried, but he was still not at ease. In the next few days, he asked Wantong about the arrangements, and asked him to send more skilled people to escort the prince.
Emperor Xianzong made a decision when he received grain shipments from the south.
Because after the opening of the river, the water transportation can go, and there will be grain from the south coming from the water.
In Renxu, 80 shi of rice were transported by water to shake Shaanxi's hunger.
At the same time, send people to supervise the matter, relieve the victims, and arrange spring plowing in the beginning of the spring.
It was the month, and the crown prince drove to Shandong to sacrifice to Mount Tai. At the same time, Nanji and Shandong were exempted from taxes and food.
Five thousand soldiers and horses and 30 shi of grain went with the crown prince, all of which were relief food for the victims of the disaster in Shandong.
It's May, and the Dragon Boat Festival has just passed.
In Renxu, the capital, there was an earthquake.
At that time, Wu Youwei was basking in the sun in the courtyard. As soon as Wantong entered the door, he felt a shaking. Before Wu Youwei could understand what was going on, Wantong picked him up by the waist and ran outside.
"What's wrong?" Wu Youwei was still confused.
"There's an earthquake!" Wantong looked around and found no aftershocks, so he put him down.
"Ah?" Wu Youwei finally understood that there was an earthquake.
Then the two quickly packed up their things and returned to the capital.
Fortunately, because of the popularity of cement in central Beijing these years, many people have built houses with blue bricks and cement, which is highly resistant to earthquakes and rarely collapses. However, some shanty towns are different. Many people living in shantytowns were injured, and some were crushed to death. It was very tragic.
Bingzi, Emperor Xianzong released the imperial list, revoked the hungry people in the capital, and rebuilt the shantytowns.
All the shantytowns were demolished and rebuilt into new-style residential buildings from Shanghai, which are somewhat similar to modern residential buildings.
Cleared out a large area, built a comprehensive market, and gave people here a job to make a living, even if it is a small vendor, it is better than doing nothing all day, picking up odd jobs everywhere.
Besides, Daming is getting stronger and stronger, and there are fewer and fewer poor people. As long as they are willing to work hard, they will not be hungry.
The reconstruction of the shantytowns used workers recruited from the shantytowns, and provided relief with work and food in the granary to relieve the victims of disasters in central Beijing.
When the disaster relief work was in full swing, the imperial government did not stop. Several censor officials and some small officials began to chase Wu Youwei fiercely, saying that he alone involved the prince, and that Mount Tai was shaken, and the capital was also shaken. .
At this time, Emperor Xianzong was furious!
"Scholar Zuo Chunfang, I have something to ask you. When will you be able to spy on the East Palace at will?" Emperor Xianzong shot around sharply: "Wantong, tell them!"
"Zunzhi." Wantong stood up and talked to the officials: "Since the 15th year of Chenghua......."
As early as the 15th year of Chenghua, Wantong began to put a long line to catch big fish. Six years was enough for him to investigate everything clearly.
From the small official to the harem, everything is clear.
Standing below, Wu Youwei thought that there would be a tough battle to fight, but Wantong had already prepared for it, and there were witnesses and physical evidence.
Many people were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground. Of course, some people refused to admit it.
At this time, the British public came back.
After they came back, no one knew about it, but today, they suddenly appeared in the court!
"How is the investigation going?" Emperor Xianzong asked the British Duke.
"It's all been investigated." Britain said fairly: "This case is actually a case of impersonating officials..."
In fact, the reason is very simple. Wu Mai's branch became more and more prominent in Beijing, while Wu Ying's branch became lonely.
Wu Ying is not a person who is content with being ordinary.
After digging around, there was a period of silence. After all, it was the young master who had been brilliant. At this time, someone found him.
Provide money and manpower, and even issue directions and other things, so that Wu Ying can go to Songjiang Prefecture, especially Shanghai County, to open gambling shops, casinos, and brothel Chuguan.
Wu Ying originally had a little bit of backbone, but after living at the bottom for so many years, his little bit of backbone was gone.
They provided him with manpower, and gave him 3000 taels of silver for settling down, and he took his manpower and went south.
Now the cement avenue extends in all directions, and a dozen or so carriages of them are on the road together, and they are still taking the official road, which is not dangerous.
They arrived at Songjiang Mansion in a safe and sound way. They originally wanted to settle down in Songjiang Mansion, but they felt that it was not convenient to be in Fucheng, so they might as well go to Shanghai County.
In the end, they settled in Shanghai County, but when they bought a shop, they found that they couldn’t buy it in the central area of Shanghai County because the price was too high!
There are suitable shops outside the Fifth Ring Road, but when buying, there is another problem. When signing a shop contract, you have to sign a contract for the type of sale at the same time.
It is written blatantly: Do not open any business for gambling or prostitution.
That is to say, no gambling industry or non-ferrous industry can be established, neither gambling workshops nor casinos, let alone brothels and Chuguan.
The price of breaching the contract is that the store will be taken back, the business will be closed, and all assets will be nationalized!
This makes people unhappy.
They wasted three months in the local area, but they couldn't find a gap to drill, so they went to Songjiang Mansion again, and the same was true.
Finally, I heard that this is the case along the coast. Gambling is not allowed, let alone prostitution!
Songjiang, Guangzhou, and Taiwan governments, as well as Yunnan, have all implemented this policy.
They went back to Shanghai County again and stayed for half a year. During this period, they tried their best to bribe small officials and were reported in public; they invited the master to eat, and they wiped their mouths after eating and left!
And partnered with a few people who also wanted to do this business to threaten the county government. They have a lot of money, so what are they afraid of?
As a result, people in Shanghai County don't eat this set!
After being at a loss for a year, they finally had nowhere to go, and they came up with an unavoidable solution, which was to open a black casino, a secret door!
Black casinos are underground casinos.
The secret door is to secretly prostitute.
As a result, he just opened the business secretly, and within three days, a business was not completed, and he was discovered by an official.
Immediately, a group of people were imprisoned.
The magistrate of Shanghai County presented the memorial for the first time, which was a case report for local work.
It is the memorial of Shanghai County, as Zuodu Yushi said.
In fact, the memorial said that the other party claimed to be the nephew of Wu Youwei, the servant of Wu Youwei, a scholar of Zuochunfang University.
There is still a follow-up, the second memorial arrived in Beijing again seven days later.
The memorial said that the other party was not the nephew of Maid Wu, a scholar of Zuochunfang University, because the county magistrate of Shanghai County came from the Wu family, and of course they knew about the Wu family.
Except for Wu Qiong, they had never seen Wu Ying before!
It's just that some people were too impatient. After receiving the news of the memorial, they impeached Wu Youwei without waiting for the second memorial to arrive.
It took more than two months for the imperial court to do nothing, and it took a lot of effort to send people to the local area to verify.
"Have you heard it all? Have you heard it all?" Emperor Xianzong patted the armrest of the dragon chair and said angrily, "I know what these people are doing to make trouble! You also understand it in your heart!" Everyone knelt down and dared not make a sound.
"Hmph!" Emperor Xianzong snorted coldly: "Zhongming, arrest those who deserve to be arrested, and those who deserve to be killed. Anyone who dares to shake the foundation of the country and covet the East Palace, I will never let him go!"
"The emperor calms down!" All the officials panicked.
"I am not Qin Shihuang, nor Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!" Emperor Xianzong roared: "My prince, whoever dares to change his mind, I want the hearts of his whole family!"
He made it clear that the chariots and horses protected the prince, and the views of the princes in the hearts of the ministers changed again.
On the same day, Emperor Xianzong returned to the harem and went to Kunning Palace.
This is the treatment that Queen Wang has never had.
In the past, I went directly to Zhaode Palace.
No matter how bad it was, the one who went was Qingning Palace.
Afterwards, a concubine of the king in the palace was reprimanded by the queen, who issued a letter from the middle palace!
This is a slap in the face.
This is as serious as being said to be immoral.
It is a stain on life for a concubine to be reprimanded by the empress in this way.
Concubine Wanhuang was stunned when she heard about it, so she sent someone to tell Wantong.
It's not that Wan Zhen'er doesn't know about things in the palace, she just doesn't want to know.
Besides, Concubine Wang...has always been flamboyant, with delicate makeup, and she also gave birth to the eleventh prince, who is said to be smart by everyone in the palace.
In fact, there are no stupid children in the palace.
She didn't care either, she didn't expect it to be her!
Wu Youwei was drinking tea with Wantong at that time, and it was Li Qing who said it himself. At that time, Wu Youwei didn't quite understand: "Ms. Wang?"
"It really is her." Wantong asked Li Qing to sit down and rest for a while.
Wu Youwei had someone serve him a bowl of rock sugar mung bean soup.
"Ms. Wang Concubine?" Wu Youwei didn't know much about the harem.
"She is the Wang family who gave birth to eleven princes." Wantong introduced this concubine Wang.
Only then did Wu Youwei realize that this concubine Wang is the concubine Wang Jing of later generations. Her son should have been the tenth son of Emperor Xianzong, and he died before his first birthday.
It's just that the No. 11 son is not to mention, he is still alive and well, and he is very healthy, but, because of having a son, his heart has also grown.
Now that the eleventh prince is over ten years old, there are not many innocent children in the palace.
The Wang family is now an official to the fourth rank. Although it is in the sixth department in Nanjing, it is basically an official position for the elderly, but it does not mean that they do not have that ambition.
There is only one dragon chair, but Emperor Xianzong has more than a dozen sons.
If they don't act now, are they going to wait for Emperor Xianzong to assign his sons to various vassal states to be the lords of the country?
How can such a place catch up with the splendid mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, and compare with the prosperity and wealth of the world.
If you want to bring down the prince, you can't go directly to the East Palace, you have to start from the left and right sides of the East Palace.
For example, Wu Youwei, a scholar of Zuochunfang University in the East Palace, and Wu servant.
And it's no secret that Wu Youwei is valued by Emperor Xianzong.
Some people even vaguely rumored that such a big change in Daming today was all done by Wu Youwei.
It was said that he was manipulating everything behind the scenes, but he didn't show up. But look at Wu Youwei's classmates and friends, there are not many of them who are not very successful. Just the six cabinet ministers, three of them are related to him.
Among the six parts, there is no one he does not know!
In addition, there are also his brother-in-law and son-in-law in Jinyiwei.
If you want to say that he formed a clique for personal gain, there is no evidence, because he was a friend in need before, and before the imperial examination, Luo Lun had lived in Moring Villa.
When Li Dongyang was still a juren, he was the same gentleman as Wu Youwei.
Zhang Sheng didn't take the exam for six years, and Wu Youwei sworn sworn brothers with him during his time in Beijing, okay?
In addition, Yang Yiqing, Liu Xuan, Liu Daxia and others were even heroes of the moment and are now high-ranking officials.
My nephew is now the chief envoy of Yunnan, a big official in frontiers, and the income he brings to Daming every year is astronomical.
Cui Tieniu, the magistrate of Songjiang, dominated the family he raised, and the annual tax revenue made the officials of the household department laugh from ear to ear.
Let's talk about Zhang Lun outside, he is a life-saving grace to the current British Duke.
The more I thought about it, the more confused the Wang family was. To put it bluntly, it was Wu Youwei's power, but who could guarantee that it wasn't the hidden power of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Maid Wu is his mentor!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many lecturers, and he is mostly called by his official title, but only Wu Youwei is called "Mr."
Unless Wu Youwei is removed, the Wang family can't sleep well.
Not to mention the big event of competing for a reserve.
So the first thing they did was Maid Wu!
By the way, implicating His Highness the Crown Prince cannot be torn off, and his reputation must be tarnished to pave the way for future events.
And the one who joins forces with the Wang family is Wan'an!
These are all ideas given by Wan An. At the same time, the Wang family promised that the eleventh prince will marry a granddaughter of the Wan family as the queen in the future.
As for Wan An, he made double preparations.
The royal family's affairs are settled, and the granddaughter marries the eleventh prince, who will become a queen in the future.
If things don't work out, at least Maid Wu will be overthrown, and then he will arrange for his own people to preach that he has already found a manpower. For this reason, it can be said that he has lost his fortune.Just waiting for her daughter to become the crown prince and concubine Yuan, and to become the queen in the future.
My family is so rich again.
For this reason, they even did not hesitate to find Wu Ying and ask him to go to Songjiang Mansion to stir up trouble, and even Wu Mingde's marriage was used to spread rumors.
"Why bother?" Wu Youwei said: "If you don't have that life, don't daydream."
