Chu Xinyuan sighed and said: "Jiang Mao went and the city guards caught the killer. Even if it was just a murder and silence, it would be enough to make the emperor angry. After all, he was at the feet of the emperor. If such a thing happened, the emperor would be worried about the safety of the imperial city.
!"
He furrowed his brows slightly, feeling resentful and helpless: "But the fourth prince would rather get hurt than get involved in the situation. He felt that if he, a prince, was injured, his father would be even more furious. It's a pity that
, he thinks too highly of himself, and he doesn’t understand the emperor’s thoughts too much!”
Xing Nan on the side said puzzledly: "Master, what you mean is that if the fourth prince is not injured, the emperor will pay more attention to it, but if the fourth prince is injured, the emperor will not pay attention to it? What is the reason for this?"
Chu Xinyuan looked at Liang Zhongxing with a smile: "What do you mean?"
Liang Zhongxing dropped the ball nonchalantly and said: "Your Majesty the Fourth Highness's injury, even if it was really injured by an assassin, the timing is too delicate. Why has the emperor not established a crown prince for so long? Do you think it is difficult for the emperor to make a decision?"
Xing Nan scratched his head and said: "The power of the eldest prince and the fourth prince are about the same, and their reputations in the court are also similar. One is the eldest son of the emperor, and the other is the legitimate son of the emperor. Therefore, it is difficult for the emperor to make a decision, isn't it?"
Liang Zhongxing and Chu Xinyuan smiled at each other, shook their heads, and said: "Many people think so, and probably the emperor himself thinks so too!"
Xing Nan was even more puzzled: "Since the emperor thinks so, then that's what happened!"
"Your Majesty thinks so, because His Majesty has deceived him!" Liang Zhongxing laughed.
Xing Nan felt that if he continued to ask, he would look too stupid. When Butler Liang chatted with his master, he often listened in confusion. Forget it, he should just be a little transparent!
Liang Zhongxing said: "In your opinion, what will be the outcome this time?"
Chu Xinyuan dropped the ball and showed a meaningful smile.
Chaohua Hall.
Concubine Ning was a little panicked on the surface, but she was not panicked in her heart. She lay on the ground, seemingly showing a hint of disbelief, as if she didn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed his face.
She said with a bit of confusion: "Does the Emperor think that I am not well prepared? I prepare some every day, but there are only slight changes!" She glanced at the table, suddenly changed her color and said: "This silver lotus heart preserves
...Your Majesty, I forgive you. When I was in the boudoir, I liked to eat this the most. However, the Emperor doesn't like lotus hearts, so I haven't prepared them for a long time. Maybe today... I thought of what happened in the boudoir and mentioned it.
Zhongbian made this. Someone, take this down!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "You said you prepared it for me, but in fact you prepared it for yourself, right?"
Concubine Ning was a little aggrieved and guilty, and said in a low voice: "This concubine is neglecting me. I am really looking forward to the emperor coming, and I also hope that when the emperor comes, I will make the emperor feel intimate and comfortable here. Indeed,
It is prepared every day, but occasionally...occasionally I make some snacks that I like..."
She blinked her big eyes, looking a little pitiful.
The emperor still looked at her without speaking, and a look of frustration gradually appeared on her face.
But the emperor suddenly laughed and said: "My dear, please get up, why do you need to kneel down for such a big deal? Even if you prepare a supper for me, it is normal to make a dish that my dear likes to eat in the middle?"
When he smiled, the atmosphere that had been cold and condensed just now suddenly blossomed. The palace people who were kneeling on the ground in Chaohua Palace finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like they had returned from the land of death.
Concubine Ning asked them to retreat and served the emperor's supper herself.
That night, the emperor stayed in the Chaohua Palace.
When the news reached Fengyi Palace, Queen Wei was so angry that she threw several tea cups!
There was no need to go to court the next day. The emperor went directly to the Qinzheng Hall to approve the papers.
As expected, three of the five excerpts were petitions to the emperor to punish Dingyuan Marquis.
Among them, Liu Yushi's excerpt was particularly sharp. He said that Ding Yuanhou, as an emperor's official, dared to force civilian girls.
The emperor takes it seriously. To put it lightly, it is called dereliction of duty, but to put it more importantly, it is an attempt to rebel!
He also said that the Duke of Zhen Guo also made a small mistake at first, disobeying the emperor's orders when marching and fighting, but later he actually rebelled?
Therefore, this matter must be severely punished and handled strictly in accordance with the law, and must not be tolerated!
The emperor frowned as he looked at it. Did Dr. Liu think that the head on his neck was too stable? Back then, no one in the court dared to mention Gu Qiheng's traitor, but he was lucky enough to even use it as a veiled shot!
Each and every one of them made various remarks, all of which meant that Marquis Dingyuan should be dealt with severely.
Looking at the thick fold, it is no surprise that 80% of the 10% are for this matter.
However, this matter really shouldn’t be delayed any longer. He raised his voice and said, “Someone is here!”
Eunuch Liu quickly stepped forward: "I'm here!"
The emperor said: "I have ordered Dali Temple, Jing Zhaoyin, and the Censor Yamen to jointly review this case!"
Eunuch Liu couldn't help but look up at the emperor, was startled for a moment, and said, "Ah?"
The emperor frowned: "You old guy, what, do you have any objection?"
Eunuch Liu hurriedly laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you are going to kill this slave. I am not as wise and powerful as your Majesty. What do you know?"
When the emperor heard that he was so self-deprecating, he smiled and said: "This involves two princes. It is indeed not enough to call the three princes to co-examine. Liu Dazhu, what do you think about calling the third prince to be the co-chairman?"
Eunuch Liu immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the one you choose will definitely be the most suitable one!"
"It's really not appropriate!" The emperor sighed and said: "Among my princes, the only ones who are not involved in this chaos are the third, fifth and seventh."
Liu Gonggong said: "There are also Eighth Highnesses!"
The emperor glared at him and said: "What do you know, old man? Lao Ba's mother and concubine have always been close to the queen, and Lao Ba has been hanging out with Lao Si since he was a child!"
Eunuch Liu looked as if he was stunned, slapped his mouth and said, "Look at this slave's broken memory!"
The emperor said: "Lao San has always been idle, only loves poetry, wine and music. It is too difficult for him to deal with such matters. Lao Qi is not in the capital, so the decree changes to let Lao Wu be the co-manager!"<
/p>
Eunuch Liu thought to himself that His Highness Seventh Prince is also a wandering cloud and wild crane, but he is willing to take the initiative to lead troops on an expedition, which is no longer relevant. He bowed slightly: "I will convey your Majesty's wishes right now!"
At this time, Chu Xinyuan was not in the capital guard, he was in the palace of Prince Liang.
When the eunuch who conveyed the order arrived at the palace, Chu Xinyuan had just finished processing some documents, walked out of the study, and immediately sorted out the incense case to receive the order.
The servants of the palace also knelt on the ground.
When he heard that he would assist in the trial of this case, Chu Xinyuan naturally accepted the order.
Eunuch Qin, who delivered the order, said again: "After the prince withdrew the incense case, he took another step. The emperor still has an oral order! Only the prince has one ear!"
