Chapter 56: Zhou Mengchen's Decision
Chapter 56 Zhou Mengchen’s decision
Zhou Mengchen said: "Miss Li is a doctor, and is one of the few girls in Wuchang. She is a handkerchief with the courtesan of the Crown Prince of Chu. This time, the reason why Miss Li dared to enter the Chu Palace was that she trusted Tao Yuaner."
"So, the Chu Palace has to be sealed. There are two possibilities. The first is, as Brother Zhang said, she----" Zhou Mengchen paused slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "It's no longer here. But the second possibility is that she involves something that cannot be said in the Chu Palace. She was detained."
Zhou Mengchen looked at Uncle Zhang and seemed to have a hint of asking for help.
Uncle Zhang's big lips opened slightly and finally slowly closed.
Uncle Zhang did not have thought about this possibility, but he knew more about the attitude of wealthy families towards certain scandals. With the size of the Chu Prince's Mansion, it is more likely that it is not a detention, but a silence.
Uncle Zhang also realized that Zhou Mengchen had actually thought about this possibility, but he just didn't want to admit it.
Uncle Zhang was silent for a while and said, "Yes, I think it's a bad idea."
Zhou Mengchen looked at Uncle Zhang and said, "The person who issued the ban order is highly likely to be the Crown Prince of Chu, which means she is likely to be detained by the Crown Prince of Chu. Our top priority is to find a way to meet the Crown Prince of Chu and figure out what happened?"
Li Ziwen shook his head and said, "Brother Zhou, you are wrong. Even if you meet the prince of Chu, it is useless. Do you think if you can tell you, the prince of Chu will still detain Miss Li?"
Zhou Mengchen was speechless for a moment.
Things have returned to the starting point after going around in circles.
Uncle Zhang said in his heart: "Stop it, if you don't understand this matter, Zhou Mengchen will not be at ease anymore. He will always let him give up." Uncle Zhang no longer has hope for the possibility of Miss Li's survival. But seeing that Zhou Mengchen refused to face the reality, he could only help him. No matter what the truth is, it would be better to know it later.
Short pain is worse than long pain.
Uncle Zhang said: "It is impossible to get the truth from the people above. Just start from the bottom."
After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen leaned forward slightly and said, "How should I buy it?"
Uncle Zhang said: "Starting from the inside of the Chu Palace, any secret is a secret to the outside but not a secret to the inside."
Li Ziwen said: "How do you know what's inside the Chu Prince's Mansion?"
Uncle Zhang said, "Brother Li, I remember you have an official position."
Li Ziwen said: "Are you talking about the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei?"
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were accustomed to the children of meritorious officials and granting official positions in the Jinyiwei. For example, Liu Tianhe's eldest son had granted thousands of households in the Jinyiwei. Of course, such official positions had no power at all, and even their salary was not high, and they were nothing more than having some special political power.
These privileges were useful to Liu Tianhe's son, but for Li Ziwen, they were of no use at all.
If Uncle Zhang hadn't mentioned this matter, he would have forgotten it.
However, he also knew that Uncle Zhang mentioned this matter not to remind him of his salary, but to remind him of the Jinyiwei.
Li Ziwen said: "What do you mean is through the channels of the Jinyiwei?" Zhou Mengchen heard the three words "Jinyiwei" and said: "Brother Zhang, won't make a big deal, right?" The Jinyiwei was famous for the Ming Dynasty and was well-known. How could Zhou Mengchen not be afraid of it?
Uncle Zhang said: "That is the Jinyiwei at the beginning of the country. Now the Jinyiwei has left the capital and nothing is left. Besides, I am worried that the Qianhu of Wuchang Jinyiwei is now an empty shell. Can you find out the things?"
Li Ziwen said: "Yes, the Jinyiwei is not as good as before. There is still a little bit in the capital. The Jinyiwei in the local area is like a sieve. I just thought that no matter how useless they are, there should be some people in the Chu Palace."
The most important responsibility of the Qianhu Qian of the Wuchang Jinyiwei is to take care of the King of Chu. Other things may be a little lazy, but this thing may not be a little lazy.
When others look at the Jinyiwei, they are naturally afraid of the three points. It seems that the Jinyiwei has some special attributes, but the Fengcheng Marquis Mansion is different. Li Ziwen’s Haikou was not wrong before. It was just that he had no entry point. No matter how powerful the Jinyiwei is in the place, there are thousands of needles below and a line above. As long as this line is in the capital, the Fengcheng Marquis Mansion has a way to exert influence.
Of course, you may not be able to do anything big. But some small things are easy.
For example, inquiring about someone.
But at this time, Li Ziwen's face alone is not enough. It must be the face of Fengcheng Hou Mansion.
Li Ziwen said: "Brother Zhou, I will go to the Jinyiwei Thousand Households in the name of Fengcheng Housing." The meaning of this kind of favor is gone.
Zhou Mengchen naturally understood that he solemnly said, "I, Zhou, remember the great kindness of Fengcheng Marquis Mansion." Although it was not explained clearly, one day in the future, the Fengcheng Marquis Mansion will come to you, and Zhou Mengchen may not be able to refuse.
Li Ziwen did it as soon as he said he was doing it, and he acted decisively and left.
Uncle Zhang didn't believe in the Jinyiwei very much.
Uncle Zhang also worked in the vassal palace. I still know some of the inside stories. Where can I find the Jinyiwei stakes passed down from generation to generation? If there are such people, the Ning King Rebellion will not happen at all. It can be said that the Jinyiwei stakes in the royal palace are almost tacitly understood.
Any vassal king with some abilities knows who is. He just doesn't confirm it, and even wants to repay his loyalty to the emperor through this channel. As for even the Jinyiwei bribed it, it's not that there is no.
However, the Jinyiwei is also their best way.
Li Ziwen went quickly and came quickly. After coming in without saying a word, he threw a piece of something like a tooth card on the table, then raised the tea, regardless of whether the tea was good or not, and just drank it all, and then said, "I'm so angry. This Lu didn't get in."
Zhou Mengchen said, "Is it possible?"
Li Ziwen sighed and said, "I never expected that the Qianhuhu of the Huguang Jinyiwei was Lu Bing's cousin. The Lu family followed Emperor Xian for three generations, not to mention the distance. Lu Bing's father, Lu Song, at the beginning of his succession, followed His Majesty in a row, guarded Zhouquan, and was responsible for the Jinyiwei's affairs. It was also considered a hero of the dragon. Lu Bing made great contributions to Wei Hui's rescue, and his mother was the wet nurse of the current emperor. He was known as the shadow of His Majesty in the current world. After Lu Song's death, he took over the Jinyiwei and my family-----"
Zhou Mengchen didn't have to listen to it and understand it.
The Fengcheng Hou family is an old nobleman. Although the potential power is still there, the Lu family is popular. Even the Fengcheng Hou Mansion must avoid its edge. Of course, this does not mean that the Fengcheng Hou Mansion is not as good as the Lu family. Any commander of the Jinyiwei will not have any good ending. When Jiajing goes, the Fengcheng Hou Mansion will still be Fengcheng Hou Mansion, but the Lu family may not be the Lu family.
This is the way of dealing with old and noble people. They will never compete with these popular characters for a while.
Zhou Mengchen said, "Thank you Brother Li, I will find a way myself."
Li Ziwen said, "Lu Huan still gave me some face and gave me one. If you hold this into the Chu Prince's Mansion, you can mobilize the secret stakes of the Jinyiwei in the Chu Prince's Mansion." Then he smiled bitterly and said, "What do you care about?"
Uncle Zhang said, "Brother Li, you are wrongly blaming this Lu Qianhu. It's not that he doesn't help you, but that he can't help you." Uncle Zhang picked up this tooth card, but saw that it was just made of copper and iron, a round brand with a black background and red letter, with only a "ling" on it. In addition to this word, there are some strange patterns. Uncle Zhang inferred it was a secret word. He said, "This brand is probably not simple. If he doesn't give you face, he can give you no face. Why do you have to do half of it? It can be seen that Lu Qianhu may have difficulties. This is the limit he can do."
Li Ziwen thought about it, it seemed like this.
The Lu family style is to be cautious, behave in a good manner, be versatile and versatile. If you can not offend others, you will not offend others. Of course, the most important thing is to be loyal to Your Majesty. Apart from Your Majesty's orders, Lu Bing seems to have never had his own preferences. It can be said that he prefers His Majesty's preferences.
Don’t look at Li Ziwen so angry now, but when he was talking with Lu Qianhu, he was polite. Both sides made a fuss, and they didn’t break up from beginning to end.
Li Ziwen sighed and said, "Even if this is the case, so what? Can't I really find a way to go to the King of Chu's Mansion? I definitely can't visit the King of Chu, and even if I go, I'm afraid I won't be able to contact the relevant personnel."
Li Ziwen knows who she is very good?
He is the son of Fengcheng Hou, the general of Huguang. Although he and the King of Chu cannot be said to be opposite, they must not get together.
It doesn't matter if he visits the King of Chu. The Marquis of Fengcheng is likely to have died at His Majesty. The children of the noble family know more than anyone else what can be done and what cannot be done.
Zhou Mengchen grabbed the token and said, "Brother Li has helped me enough. I will solve the rest of the matter myself."
Li Ziwen said: "Solve it? How do you solve it? If that little girl died because of the lustful heart of the King of Chu, it would be fine. Once it is the latter possibility, there is something in the King of Chu's mansion that you don't want people to know. Do you think they can make one person disappear, but they can't let another person disappear?"
"I know you have deep affection and friendship. But this is not a trivial matter. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your mother."
Zhou Mengchen was silent for a while and said, "If you don't do this, I will not be able to overcome this hurdle in my life. Don't worry, if it really reaches an irreversible point, I will save myself and will not lose my life easily. My Zhou Mengchen's life is not that good. If there is anything wrong, please take care of my mother."
