Chapter 204 The sound of piano in the palace!
After Ye Chen returned to the Yangxin Palace from the Imperial Garden, he asked Cheng'en to take the sign away.
He also asked Cheng'en to notify the imperial kitchen and prepare some tea.
Ye Chen drank tea while waiting, and soon, news came from the death row.
"Your Majesty, Guard Shen sent someone to say that one of the Imperial Guards has confessed that they were indeed instructed by a Vice Minister of War to obtain the golden juice."
Hearing this, Ye Chen snorted coldly.
"What's the name of that Minister of War?"
"Your Majesty, it is said to be Minister Liu Cheng. Here are the confessions of those imperial guards."
Cheng'en placed several bamboo slips on the table in front of Ye Chen.
"Tell Qiu'er to send someone to arrest Liu Cheng immediately and interrogate him strictly. There must be someone behind Liu Cheng. Pull them all out for me!"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He had waited until now, and the person he wanted to capture was not just a mere Minister of War.
And he took a few more sips of tea.
Then stand up.
"Cheng'en, I want to go to the death row and take a look."
Ye Chen was not worried about Shen Qiu's ability.
He just wanted to see if Liu Cheng was tough enough, after all, tomorrow was the day of the Imperial Guards competition.
But if it ends after tomorrow, the influence of the Imperial Guards Competition will not be so strong.
We have to get enough evidence tonight.
Ye Chen can reorganize the Ministry of War before the Imperial Guards competition. It would be great if he can bring the Minister of War Huangfu Guang into the water.
"Your Majesty, I will prepare it right away."
Cheng'en quickly prepared a sedan chair outside the Yangxin Palace.
When Ye Chen got into the sedan chair.
Cheng'en even ordered the eunuch to walk in front with a large lantern so that Ye Chen could clearly observe the surrounding environment.
After all, there are powerful officials in the imperial guards, and it is late at night, so Cheng'en dare not take it lightly.
Ye Chen and I have arrived at the death row.
Immediately, I heard a burst of arrogant voices coming from the death row.
"I am an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you slander me based on someone else's one-sided words?"
"I want to see the emperor and seriously report you!"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and quietly walked to the place where people were interrogated and released.
The two imperial guards guarding the door saw Ye Chen and were about to salute, but Ye Chen raised his hand to stop them.
Ye Chen stood quietly outside the interrogation room, listening to the noise inside.
Liu Cheng, who was being interrogated, became more and more arrogant.
"I won't say a word. No matter how you interrogate me, just wait until I see the emperor and I'll punish you!"
"I am a loyal minister, and I have been wronged. If you dare to torture me, you will die!"
"Doctors are not subject to punishment. You have broken the rules, understand?"
"Ah! Stop it! You bitch, ah!~"
Liu Cheng's curses were mixed with screams.
When Ye Chen heard the sound, he knew that Shen Qiu was torturing him, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Shen Qiu did a great job.
Ye Chen listened for a moment and heard Liu Cheng quickly begging for mercy.
He couldn't help but snort coldly.
The ministers in the court are all like this. On the surface, they appear righteous and full of vigor, but once the real thing comes, they start to beg for mercy.
He doesn't have any dignity at all, and even if he does, it's all fake.
Ye Chen turned and left.
Just leave the matters here to Shen Qiu.
He just needs to go back to Yangxin Palace and wait for news.
It's good to have a capable subordinate, even if this subordinate is the Empress Dowager's man.
But as long as it can be used by Ye Chen, Ye Chen can feel free to delegate power.
This is also a kind of trust.
After leaving the death row, Ye Chen got on a sedan chair, carried by sixteen eunuchs, and went to the Yangxin Palace.
At this time, Ye Chen was already very tired.
Tomorrow morning, he still needs to go to court to deal with Yang Dechang and others.
He wanted to go back and rest.
But he hasn't returned to the Yangxin Palace yet.
Suddenly, I heard pleasant piano sounds coming from all around.
"Who, who is playing the piano?"
Ye Chen asked in surprise.
He had walked around the palace many times, but this was the first time he heard someone playing the piano, not to mention that it was already the middle of the night.
"Your Majesty, this place is closest to Madam Xue's bedroom. The sound of the piano should be coming from Madam Xue's palace."
"Ok?"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his look became a little playful.
"Cheng En."
"The slave is here."
"I want to visit Madam Xue's palace tonight."
"Yes, slave, I'll arrange it right away!"
Cheng'en looked at Ye Chen in surprise, then went down to direct the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to turn around.
At this time, Ye Chen really went there to listen to the sound of the piano.
He thought the piano playing was really good.
If it is improved slightly.
It will definitely be more pleasant to the ear.
Although Ye Chen had appreciated singing and dancing these days, no matter what kind of songs they were, they were all written in classical Chinese and were very short.
Ye Chen felt very unhappy when he heard this.
Now, I met someone who played the guqin better than any of the palace musicians.
Ye Chen naturally wanted to ask the musician to change the music score and play it just for him.
Who knows, in the future, he might also edit songs from later generations.
Then let Qin Man and Hua Rui dance for him.
If it's appropriate, try some black stockings or a short skirt?
Ye Chen couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
Although the powerful official has not fallen yet, he shouldn't think about these things.
But he is not an inhuman and scheming machine.
The powerful officials want to fight.
He wants all the enjoyment he deserves.
