Because the Fifth Prince and Concubine Fu were accused, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also celebrated in a hurry.
Immediately, Mrs. Yao came forward and accused the fifth prince of killing his two sons and more than forty imperial troops in Qingyang Ridge.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Wei Chen! Wei Chen's two sons died unjustly for their loyalty to the country!" Yao Tai touched his head to the ground, there was a loud bang, and he cried bitterly, "If it weren't for Tiandu Mansion,
We caught two of the Fifth Prince's guards who were causing trouble in a restaurant and injuring people. We still have no clue about this matter."
According to Yao Tai, on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, someone got drunk and injured the waiter at Yihutian, the largest restaurant in the capital.
This was originally a trivial matter. The officer on the ground went to suppress it, and it was just a few words of instruction to pay some money. Who would have expected that the two men were so arrogant that not only refused to pay, but also beat the officer.
So the governor of Tiandu was alerted and the two men were arrested.
Who would have thought that these two people were still telling lies, saying that they were the guards of the fifth prince, and if they were not released quickly, the prison in Tiandu Mansion would be demolished.
Tiandu Fuyin didn't take these two people seriously at first, thinking that they were just two drunkards relying on some power to pretend to be crazy while drinking.
They were ordered to be detained until they sobered up.
Who would have thought that these two people actually got into a fight on the spot and injured several more people.
In anger, the governor ordered them to be tied up and beaten with a board to sober up.
The two men scolded Fu Yin for being tired of life, saying that he was just an official the size of a sesame seed and dared to punish the royal guards.
They even say that they don't even pay attention to the Yao family. The Yao family is just an empty shell now. Killing them is just like killing a chicken and a dog.
The governor was frightened when he heard this, and felt that there was something in their words.
After some interrogation, the two men actually revealed that they had assassinated the Yao brothers and the palace guards in Qingyang Ridge on the order of the prince.
The governor was frightened to death after hearing this. He did not dare to make a decision, so he reported it to the Ministry of Punishments.
After Yao Tai finished speaking, the people from the Criminal Department also quickly presented the confessions of the two guards.
These days, the former harem has been surrounded by Concubine Fu, and the fifth prince, mother and son, have had troubles one after another, which has really disturbed the emperor.
Before the poisoning incident could be fully investigated, the fifth prince and Shen Jingzhi were accused of conspiring, and now the Qingyang Ridge incident was also involved.
"I just want to hold a grand ceremony smoothly, why is it so difficult?!" The emperor frowned tightly, feeling his brain swollen, "Since the matter has reached the Ministry of Punishment, then the Ministry of Punishment will investigate it!"
The civil and military officials in the court had their own secrets, knowing that at the end of this game, there would be mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
Recalling the Tonghushan case three years ago, I can't help but feel horrified.
Being in the officialdom is like walking on the edge of a knife.
We don't know when we will suffer a bloody disaster, so everyone is inevitably in danger.
Ronghua Palace, the queen has finished dressing.
Watching from the bronze mirror, the maid put the last phoenix hairpin on her tall bun, with the golden phoenix holding beads, each one like the moon.
"To report to the Queen, Your Majesty has withdrawn from the morning court." Liang Xiao walked in quickly from outside.
He is now wearing a bright red steward's uniform, which is much more stylish than before.
But after all, it's not as good as Liang Jing's show of dignity.
"Where is Your Majesty now? Have the ministers from the previous dynasty been summoned?" the queen asked.
"Your Majesty is resting in Yangze Palace. He said he has a severe headache and the imperial doctor has already treated him." Liang Xiao replied, "We might as well wait until His Majesty feels better before going there."
After hearing Liang Xiao's words, the queen turned her head and glanced at him. This glance was very deep, as if a knife was cutting into Liang Xiao's face.
Liang Xiao's heart suddenly tightened and he quickly changed his words: "I'm just a little confused. The Queen is talking about a big thing, so how can we delay it?"
"Since His Majesty is not feeling well, I should go over and serve him." The Queen said and stood up. "Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that I am not being dedicated to His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty has been working too hard recently, so it's nothing serious." The imperial doctor said carefully after checking his pulse, "I'm just prescribing a prescription, and you'll be fine if you take it for two days. But the more important thing is to rest. Your Majesty, you must not do anything these days.
Overworked."
"You imperial doctors keep telling me not to worry, but you don't know that the only person in the world who has to worry about the most is the emperor." The emperor couldn't help but complain at this time.
In fact, he had not been much involved in political affairs in the past few years, and he just focused on seeking the truth.
If Qingque hadn't told him that he couldn't attain enlightenment before his worldly connections were fulfilled, he wouldn't have started to argue with the minister sitting in front of him on the hard dragon chair at this age.
"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you." Zhang Ze came in to report.
"Ask her to come in! Just don't let anything happen again. I just want to be quiet now." The emperor held his forehead and said.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you were feeling unwell, so I came over quickly to see where you were feeling unwell." The queen came in and came to the emperor with concern.
"It's not that important. It's just that these things are causing a headache." The emperor couldn't help but sigh, "Have you heard about the morning incident?"
"I have heard a little about it," the queen said, "but since it has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice to investigate, I think the truth will come to light one day."
"Don't worry! I will always give your Yao family an explanation for this matter." The emperor gently patted the back of the queen's hand and said, he felt really guilty about this matter.
"Your Majesty, don't think about these things. The most important thing is to take care of the dragon's body." The queen retreated in order to advance. "I will serve you here today. Please put away all the memorials I handed you! Don't be exhausted.
Got you."
"I'm really tired and want to have a good sleep." The emperor said and closed his eyes. "Tell the outside world that I won't see anyone today."
After a while, Concubine Li waddled over with two palace maids, but was stopped by Zhang Ze.
"I heard that His Majesty was unwell and came here to serve you. Why did you stop me?" Concubine Li asked Zhang Ze.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is already inside, and Your Majesty has decreed that no one will be seen today." Zhang Ze said, "My Majesty, please go back!"
"Oh, I haven't seen her so attentive on weekdays! What's the matter? The whole family is in a commotion, but the Queen didn't cry to Your Majesty?" Not only did Concubine Li not leave, she also stopped and talked to Zhang Ze.
"The Queen is very calm and has nothing to do with going to court in advance," Zhang Ze said.
"Hmph, needless to say, there must be more vicious methods behind it!" Li Fei curled her lips, "Let's see! If we can't get out of this half of the day, there will be trouble in the harem, and I won't be asked to come here.
Okay, I’ll catch up on some sleep when I get back so that I’ll be energetic enough to watch the show.”
"Your Majesty knows how to recharge her batteries." Zhang Ze said, "I'll take you out."
