These three words obviously exceeded His Majesty’s expectations.
Even though he was simmering with anger, he couldn't help but calm down for a while.
Let’s first listen to what Xu Jian said.
Listen to where he went wrong.
"Oh?" The Holy Master took a sip of tea and motioned for Xu Jian to continue.
"A while ago, I met His Highness at night at Deyue Tower." Xu Jian frowned, looking thoughtful, "As you know, I am not very close to the Liu family, but my biological mother still visits during the holidays.
Always thinking about me.
It was also on that day that she sent someone to send a message, saying that she was taking the Liu Xun brothers and sisters to Deyuelou to listen to a play, and asked if I wanted to go with them.
Normally, I would refuse this kind of thing, but I couldn't bear it and went anyway that day. I didn't expect to meet His Highness.
His Highness had also just arrived and had a few words with Liu Xun. Perhaps he was tired of confronting his ministers in the Yamen, so he left after speaking.
Regarding this matter, I didn’t think much about it at the time and just regarded it as an accidental encounter.
When I came here just now, I was thinking that His Highness looked very familiar with Liu Xun that day, but they should not be familiar with each other.
A prince who watches politics every day, and a son of an official who has never been an official. If they don't get to know each other during the day, they must have become friends only after they went to the Yamen.
If I had thought of this earlier, I might have discovered what Liu Xun and His Highness were doing earlier...
I can advise Your Highness, or I can mention it to you, instead of being caught by Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen, and there will be no room for maneuver."
The Holy Master nodded slightly.
What Xu Jian said makes sense.
If you think a little more, you will see more.
But I didn’t think more about that step. Is it Xu Jian’s fault?
I definitely wouldn’t think so.
He was so angry that he would not blame Shaoer's mistakes on someone who was right.
"I can't blame you." The Holy Sage sighed.
Don't talk about Xu Jian.
Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen also looked worried about losing their official titles.
Because Shan Shen and the others also know that this is a trap.
They caught the key criminal but fell into the trap. Can they not worry about catching Shaoer?
And he knew clearly that these two yamen had stepped into a big hole, but he would not take action on anyone.
In the final analysis, Shao'er is the one who is being designed and doesn't even know it.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Holy Father spoke again when he saw Xu Jian.
"One more thing. When I was at the Yamen yesterday, I saw that His Highness was a little impatient, so I gave him a few words of advice." Xu Jian looked a little nervous, "I just didn't pay enough attention to the wording. Maybe His Highness didn't hear it very well."
His Highness was probably angry, so he did not return to the palace and went out to have a drink."
The Holy Emperor was stunned, looked at Xu Jian a few times, and asked: "What did you say?"
Xu Jian did not hide anything, summarized the content and removed the tone.
The meaning is still the same, but the tone has changed, and of course the sound and feeling are different.
The Holy Spirit laughed "ha", but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He knows Xu Jian.
Xu Jian is "keeping it" in front of the emperor.
In fact, what fell into Shao'er's ears yesterday was definitely worse.
After all, Xu Jian's mouth is really not very pleasant when it comes to yin and yang, and even the calm elders in the court may not be able to bear this anger, let alone a young and energetic person like Shao'er.
Xu Jian may have done it on purpose, but he didn't know about Chenmi Hutong, so he wouldn't have thought of the consequences of the yin and yang.
Of course, if you have a troublesome mouth, you still need to be reprimanded a few times.
"I told you before," the Holy Emperor looked at Xu Jian disapprovingly, "Behave in the court and don't just have fun all day long.
Not only are you having fun, you can't stop talking, and you've made it difficult for others to get off the stage several times.
I heard that An Yibo also told you this, right?
Even though I’m trying to persuade you, I don’t think you’re any good at all!”
Xu Jian received these two words of punishment. It was not painful or itchy, and he did not take it seriously. On the face of it, he was very respectful: "You have taught me a lesson."
"I see you can listen," the Holy One said again, "I have been patient in not talking about fun this morning, but I have lost my temper in the next morning. I went to give Shao'er a few words yesterday. I won't tell you anything about you, king, king, minister.
I'm just saying what I say, but please keep your mouth shut. People who are about to get married are about to provoke Ning'an in the future."
When Xu Jian heard this, he didn't hold back his eyebrows and showed a little smile.
To be honest, he also irritated the little princess.
When the Holy Spirit saw him smiling, he stopped lecturing him.
Zuo's fault was just that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Compared with Shao'er's messy things, it's not worth mentioning.
Shaoer is half as "not causing trouble" as Xu Jian, so he doesn't have to worry about it now.
After thinking about it, the Holy Master said: "Don't leave in a hurry. Go sit in the side hall for a while. I'll make arrangements after I finish asking the other people."
Xu Jian agreed, got up and left first.
Eunuch Cao sent him all the way out, and ordered a young eunuch at the door to wait on him in the side hall.
Xu Jian stood in the corridor and exhaled slowly.
Shan Shen and Wantang immediately surrounded him and asked in silence.
"How is your Majesty feeling now?"
"I didn't hear the Holy Spirit getting angry outside. What's the situation?"
Sangu didn't ask, but he listened with open ears.
Xu Jian replied softly: "Your Majesty is in a relatively peaceful mood right now. The adults can just say whatever they want later. Your Majesty is not unreasonable."
Eunuch Cao was standing nearby and glanced at a few people.
Based on his observation, the Holy Spirit's anger did subside a lot in the end.
He probably mentioned some household matters, including Princess Ning'an, and the Duke of Guo laughed when he heard the title of Princess Ning'an, which made the emperor's mood relax a lot.
When Xu Jian went to the side hall, Eunuch Cao led the others in.
Wantang was still a little frightened, so he asked Eunuch Cao: "The Holy One is really peaceful?"
"Young Master Guo has dealt with it well. Your Majesty has calmed down a lot." Eunuch Cao replied.
After hearing this, Wantang breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank you, Duke Fu.
If the Duke of Fu, who is leading the charge, makes the Holy Shang angry, no one behind them will be able to escape.
Shan Shen turned his head and glanced in the direction of the side hall.
He has seen that the Duke's mouth can really make people smoke when they are angry.
Fortunately, it is still very reliable at critical times.
Then again, the problem this time had little to do with the Duke of Guo. Instead, he and Wantang witnessed the naked Highness.
After entering and bowing, the Holy Spirit asked everyone to sit down and talk.
Sangu, you look at me, I look at you, both of them want to speak but hesitate.
"Don't say anything to apologize," the Holy Sage stopped them, and asked Shan Shen, "Please tell me carefully what happened."
Shan Shen wanted to stand up and reply, but Pian Sheng adopted a posture of "You sit down and talk", which made him feel uncomfortable.
After moving a few times, only a little bit of the edge was touched, so it was not so panicky. Shan Shen organized his thoughts and started talking about everything in detail.
After Shan Shen finished speaking, it was Wantang.
Commander Wan told how he came to help, how he rushed into the house, and how he saw a room full of chaos when he met Shan Shen.
Lord Rao Shisheng's mood calmed down a lot after talking to Xu Jian. After listening to the two officials who led the team to arrest people explain the process, his anger was still rising.
After taking a sip of tea and trying to suppress his anger, the Holy Master asked: "So, the entire trial hasn't been completed yet?"
"No," Shan Shen said, "there are still three dancers who haven't woken up. Liu Xun's explanation was vague and he hasn't asked His Highness yet."
"Then keep asking," the Holy Master said. "When you find Shao'er, you can ask whatever you want and ask everything clearly."
On the side, Wen Shaobao's chest felt tight and he couldn't help coughing twice.
Thinking that he was going to express his opinion, everyone looked over.
Wen Shaobao was about to explain the reason, but considering the seriousness of the matter, the three of them couldn't just listen and not talk, so they simply took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Shan Fuyin, and Wan Commander, it's not that I want to absolve His Highness, but
As I listened over and over again, I realized that Your Highness was being plotted against.
Since the person behind it dares to take advantage of His Highness, then the Maiden and the guardian who stayed there must be abandoned. They can prove His Highness's crime, but they can't find any clues about the person behind it.
Even Liu Xun must have been roped into the situation, and he can't even think clearly."
The Holy One touched his beard.
There should be a consensus on setting up a situation.
Wen Shaobao said again: "Do you want to arrest the person behind it? We must find a way to arrest him, but it is also very difficult to catch. Even if Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen ignore everything and only focus on this one case, they dare not say that there will be progress. p>
Having said that, if someone sets up a trap, the stigma of His Highness's misbehavior will also be on him. The house he went to, the wine he drank, the fun...
It can be said that someone is leading him astray, but it cannot be said that someone is forcing him. His Highness is happy for himself.
He doesn’t go there just once or twice.
Now the whole court knows about it, and it will spread throughout the capital soon.
What I want to be clear about is, Your Majesty, how do you want to deal with His Highness? How are you going to give an explanation to the civil and military officials and the common people for His Highness's extraordinary behavior?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the imperial study became tense instantly.
However, everyone knows that this is an important point that must be determined.
The key points are not finalized, not to mention that the hands and feet are tied, even the mind is tied up, no matter how strong or small the strength is, it will not work.
The Holy Father did not reply immediately. He leaned back on his chair, seeming to be thinking about something, but the anger between his brows became thicker.
Fang Shaofu saw it in his eyes, and he could guess the emperor's thoughts to some extent.
He is also an old minister, so he understands His Majesty very well. Just by looking at his expression, you can tell that His Majesty is trying hard to control his temper.
The dignified king of a country is so angry that he cannot let go of his ridiculous son.
According to what was previously discussed, Fang Shaofu tried to smooth things over: "The case has not been investigated yet, so we can't go through the motions just because we know it is difficult to investigate, and give Mr. Shan and the others some more time..."
The Holy Emperor raised his head and waved his hand: "I know the severity, and Shaoer does need a lesson."
After being silent for a while, he said: "Shao'er will be grounded first and reflect honestly in the East Palace. Shuntian Mansion will continue to investigate. I will give you two days. Even if the person who set up the trap cannot be caught, there will be some progress compared to today. According to
If you find out, I will punish you again."
Shan Shen and Wantang exchanged a look.
Two days were very tight, but at least they understood the attitude of the Holy Spirit - they could continue to wear the black gauze hat.
Will he be reckoned with by his wife?
Who knows.
But to Wen Taibao, this answer is obviously not enough.
Since he was the first person, he simply did it to the end: "Your Majesty, if the punishment is light, I might not be able to convince people."
Sheng glanced at him and motioned for him to continue.
Wen Shaobao said: "Xu Guogong's messed-up son has wandered three thousand miles."
Adult Shan has a dull pain in the back of his neck.
Although he did not convict the case, he tried it.
"You can't say that," Mr. Shan said with a dull face, extending his life. "Su Ke will be exiled, mainly because he acted on the mountain road and almost killed other people."
Having said this, Wen Shaobao was worried: "Those three dancing girls who are not awake, will they..."
Shan Shen's face was even paler than if it were whitewashed and pulp. He glanced at the Holy Emperor secretly, and his heart was filled with chills.
I hope Shaobao will never be a crow’s mouth.
"I know it," the Holy Emperor paused, and repeated it again in a hoarse voice, "I know it. I want an explanation, and Shaoer really needs some practical lessons. I will not make a big deal out of a big deal just because he is the prince.
, it becomes a trivial matter."
Seeing His Majesty's demeanor, the people present felt even more uncomfortable.
He is a king and a father.
Everyone can see how much the Holy Emperor loves the prince.
I didn’t expect that the prince would become like this despite being loved and loved, and the one who felt the most heartache was actually the Holy One.
Under the command of the Holy One, Sangu retreated first.
Then, the Holy Father told Eunuch Cao: "Call Xu Jian."
Not long after, Xu Jian entered the imperial study room again.
The saint looked tired and said to Shan Shen: "I know what Shan Qing is thinking and asked you to ask Shaoer about the case. You lack the confidence to let Xu Jian follow."
Upon hearing this, Shan Shen smiled gratefully: "You are thoughtful, but..."
"It's just what? It's just that the case concerns the Liu family. Are you afraid that Xu Jian won't be able to deal with it?" The Holy Master knew it well and said directly to Xu Jian, "If you don't get involved, the people who should beg you will still come to beg you.
It would be better for you to be a half-judge, and you must distinguish between public and private affairs, so as to silence others. Shao'er is banned, so you don't have to go to the Six Ministries to observe the government alone, just go to Shuntian Mansion, where you are familiar with the family."
Shan Shen felt hot in his heart after hearing this.
It seems that the Holy One has thought of all his worries, and the Holy One has also considered it for the auxiliary Duke.
For Shuntian Mansion, having one more Bodhisattva is always a good thing.
Xu Jian lowered his eyes and said, "I accept the order."
Eunuch Cao sent the three of them out of the imperial study.
In the distance, the waiter who he had urged to inquire about the news came back.
Shaking her head at him, the young chamberlain said: "There is no news about His Royal Highness."
When Eunuch Cao heard this, he sighed: "Where can I run?"
Knowing that Xu Jian could not move quickly, Wantang's impatient man couldn't wait any longer. After a brief discussion, he took the first step and continued to search the house in Chenmi Hutong.
Shan Shen and Xu Jian walked together and returned to Shuntian Mansion.
"Before the action yesterday, I read the documents of the house, and I couldn't see many problems in them. But since it can be used to set up traps, I think if I dig deeper, I can dig out something," Shan Shen said, "Wait until we get back.
Now, the Duke of Guo will also take a look at it and let’s brainstorm ideas.”
Xu Jian listened and nodded in agreement.
After walking out of the palace gate and on the square, Xu Jian saw a carriage at a glance.
Seeing his figure, the person in the car hurriedly got out, it was Xu Miao.
