The Ministry of Justice sent over 20 to 30 criminal officials at once, all of whom were more or less involved in the dethronement of the crown prince. The crown prince was dethroned, and the court changed personnel, and the situation was in chaos. Among this group of criminal officials, the most eye-catching one was Mr. Xie Changling, the left son of the Eastern Palace. This person was famous all over the world as the top scholar in the past. His subsequent career was a little delayed, but overall it was relatively stable. Because of his outstanding talent, he was appointed as an official of the Eastern Palace, and was trained as an official team for the crown prince to inherit the throne in the future. When the crown prince inherits the throne, he will be used. Who would have thought that he had taken ninety steps out of a hundred, but fell in the last ten steps. The reserve talent of the future prime minister has now become a prisoner. Chen Guanlou picked up a pen to divide the personnel, put Xie Changling in Xiao Jin's territory, and told Xiao Jin to take good care of him. "Master Xie is a man of great talent and an official of the Eastern Palace. He should not be humiliated. Contact the Xie family and ask them to send the silver quickly. They are the first batch of officials to be convicted when Lei Yucheng takes office. I don't want to default on debts and cannot leave any handle for Lei Yucheng. Do you understand?" "I understand! However, there is one thing I don't understand. Why was Master Xie imprisoned? Is it because the prince was deposed?" Chen Guanlou's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm, "Master Xie's crime is that he was not doing his job well, causing His Royal Highness Zhong Wang to make mistakes, resulting in the most tragic dethronement of the prince in the country in 300 years." "Ah?" Xiao Jin obviously couldn't understand this charge, "It means it's a false charge, just a random charge?" Chen Guanlou nodded, it was indeed a false charge. During the mutiny, what happened in the Eastern Palace was gradually being disclosed by those with ulterior motives. From beginning to end, the prince showed no signs of rebellion, and even tried his best to restrain the Eastern Palace guards and officials from the beginning. As a result, thousands of guards of the Eastern Palace were surrounded for several days, but no one shot was fired, avoiding the worst situation.
The prince did this, worthy of the old emperor and the father-son relationship. The only thing he didn't do was to his identity as the "prince", to the staff of the Eastern Palace, and to the courtiers who supported him. If the deposed prince had made up his mind and pulled up the three thousand guards of the Eastern Palace to rebel, maybe the person sitting on the dragon throne would be him, not the immortal Emperor Taixing. What a pity! A difference of one thought. The deposed prince tried his best to protect everyone in the Eastern Palace. However, look, the former officials of the Eastern Palace were imprisoned, tsk... Don't be too wishful. Xiao Jin hesitated a little, thought about it, and asked quietly, "Sir, has the court started to purge the Eastern Palace personnel?" Chen Guanlou was silent, he couldn't say for sure. Speaking of purge, the guards of the Eastern Palace have been disbanded and rearranged, but they have not been ordered to be executed. Even some of the East Palace guards were left to continue protecting the deposed Crown Prince Zhong Wang. To say that there was no purge, the former officials of the East Palace were all suppressed to varying degrees. It is estimated that imprisonment is a matter of time. A typical blunt knife cutting meat. Although it was tragic to cut it all at once, it would also make the world remember, remember the cruelty of the old emperor, and record it in history books forever, and nail it on the pillar of shame. Cutting meat with a blunt knife is different. How many of the subsequent experiences of the officials of the East Palace will be recorded in history books? People in later generations may not know what these people experienced after the crown prince was deposed. The old emperor was cruel, but he also had face. His way of having face was to be both in office and in power. When the court officials thought that the old emperor had a conscience, he turned around and started a big purge. The court officials were abused miserably again and again, but they still did not learn their lesson, and many officials still had expectations for the old emperor. For example, when the crown prince was deposed this time, many old officials wept bitterly and knelt outside the gate of Taiji Palace, begging the old emperor to change his ways, believing that the old emperor was so stupid because he had gone astray in his practice of Taoism, and that he would be fine if he changed. Zhao Mingqiao was different. He saw through the old emperor's nature and could not change it. He was just such a person. Since he could not change it, let's destroy him. Chen Guanlou met Xie Changling in person. Xie Changling had a standard official face. What is a standard official face? It is upright, serious, and generous. Seeing this person is like seeing the righteousness. But his eyes are particularly smart. He is not a dull nerd. You can tell at a glance that he is a person with active thinking. He is not old either, in his early thirties.
Count the years he has been an official. OK! Another genius. He can pass the imperial examination in his early twenties. He is a true academic god with a very high IQ. In a court full of smart people, he is one of the smartest ones, with an IQ that is overwhelming. If the King of Zhong is not deposed, he will most likely become the prime minister and rule the world in the future. "If you have any needs, just let us know. We will try our best to meet them." Xie Changling accepted the result of being imprisoned calmly, with a calm expression. He looked at Chen Guanlou and asked curiously, "Are the jailers in Tianlao so polite now?" "There are always exceptions." Chen Guanlou said so. Xie Changling said, "Thank you! Can you give me a few books? I don't know how to spend the long time without books." "Sure! Any other requests?" Xie Changling shook his head, "I won't make it difficult for you. I will try my best to meet your requests. According to the rules, you can find my housekeeper to pay the silver, and he will cooperate with you. Ask him to bring me some clothes to change, and a quilt that I am used to sleeping on. These are all right, right?" "These are all minor matters, no problem. We in Tianlao pay attention to humane management. As long as you don't cause us trouble, we are easy to talk to." Chen Guanlou smiled. Xie Changling nodded, "So, I am quite lucky. I was not imprisoned in the imperial prison, but came to Tianlao. Will I be tortured?" "Does Lord Xie have any criminal facts to explain?" Chen Guanlou asked back. Xie Changling was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed out of breath, "Criminal facts? Haha, I don't have any criminal facts! Otherwise, you can make one up for me." "This is not our job content. We are jailers and are only responsible for guarding prisoners." Xie Changling smiled and nodded, "You are right, I almost misunderstood. Letting you make it up is also embarrassing for you. Thank you, Chen the jailer. By the way, I seem to have heard of you." "Ah? I am a small jailer, and I can also enter the ears of the adults?" Chen Guanlou was very surprised. How could he be heard by officials of the Eastern Palace? Is he so famous? "Last year, the Grand Tutor was imprisoned, and the Eastern Palace guards were responsible for security. I heard about you from the Eastern Palace guards." Xie Changling has a good memory. Don't doubt the memory of the god of learning. They can connect a small point and recall the whole thing. "Guard Cui seems to have a lot of opinions about you. I rarely see a frustrated expression on his face. You were a jailer at the time, but you could make the Eastern Palace guards lose face, which is amazing." "Sir, you can't say that! How could I make Guard Cui lose face? Guard Cui has a huge misunderstanding of me! It's been so long, and it seems that it can't be explained clearly." Chen Guanlou seemed very aggrieved. Last year's incident was still mentioned this year. Don't these gods of learning understand what amnesia is?
