Chu Xuanchen frowned coldly, "Things have turned out like this! Even if the people praise another person, they won't be so active. There must be something wrong with it!"
"My subordinates also suspected that there was something wrong. According to my investigation, many people were indeed grateful to the prince at first and praised him spontaneously.
But after everyone praised it, they didn't mention it again.
As a result, a few days ago, a mysterious force suddenly appeared. They seemed to have made an appointment to take the lead in writing poems for you on the street. Moreover, the poems they wrote were mainly to elevate you and belittle Emperor Hongyuan.
In addition, some people quickly built several merit monuments for you in Jiangzhou, but ordinary people do not have such financial resources.
My subordinates found out that there is someone planning behind this, someone is providing money and effort for the people, and guiding them to build temples and monuments for you."
Strangely.
When Chu Xuanchen heard this, his eyes were filled with strong storms.
His face was as cold as ice, and he said sternly: "Building temples and erecting monuments is an act that the ancients would only do to worship gods and saints. I think that my ability to control floods is quite good, but it has not reached this level.
From this point of view, someone must be trying to use this matter to frame me.
It is a good thing that the people like me, but some people took advantage of this matter to add fuel to the flames, deliberately promoted me to a high position, and also took the opportunity to belittle the emperor.
At that time, the emperor will have a reason to kill this king."
"Yes, Your Majesty.
The emperor is suspicious by nature, and he was originally very afraid of you, but now the people are praising you as a saint.
If the emperor knows about this, I'm afraid he will be unfavorable to you, so should I send someone to stop those students and people from praising you again?"
Moli said worriedly.
Chu Xuanchen raised his hand, "No need, public opinion has already fermented, and there's no point in stopping it.
To prevent anyone from making a fuss out of this, you should immediately send someone to conduct a thorough investigation and find out the man behind this!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Strangely.
After Mo Li left, Chu Xuanchen stared sharply into the distance, with a strong aura of murder in his eyes.
First Zhang Qing was arrested, and then public opinion was guided. It seems that there is a pair of invisible hands manipulating all this, just to bring him down!
.
As soon as Mo Li left, Mo Zhu walked in with a hurried look, "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace.
The emperor said that the wise king had not solved Mr. Zhang's case for so long, and he was extremely angry. He said that Mr. Zhang, as a second-grade high-ranking official, repeatedly went in and out of the Red Building and was involved in murder cases, which was simply unethical as an official.
He has asked Eunuch Xu to go to Jingzhao Yin to deliver an oral message, telling King Xian to solve the case within three days. If the case cannot be solved within three days, the emperor will directly execute Mr. Zhang!"
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows coldly, "The emperor is already so impatient?"
Does he really want to get rid of Zhang Qing?
"Yes, Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Mo Zhu asked worriedly.
Chu Xuanchen lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Liu Ruyan's voice suddenly came from outside, "Your Majesty, this is great, I have found a witness!"
Hearing Liu Ruyan's voice, Chu Xuanchen and Mo Zhu looked at each other happily. As soon as Liu Ruyan walked in, Chu Xuanchen asked, "Ruyan, what witness did you find?"
Liu Ruyan said happily: "My lord, you sent your subordinates to investigate near Zhang Mansion.
My subordinates have been investigating the vicinity of Zhang's residence for several days, and finally, fortunately, they have found two witnesses who can clear Mr. Zhang's charges and restore his innocence."
