This kind of difference not only made the Holy Emperor more interested, but also Eunuch Cao looked at Xu Jian a few more times.
"What did Shao'er say?" asked the Holy Sage.
Xu Jian told everything Li Shao said.
This time, I did not over-summarize, nor did I deliberately add or omit some modal words, and presented Li Shao's situation yesterday to 80% to 90%.
After hearing this, the Holy Master relaxed a little and sighed: "He regretted it, but he may not be able to do it again."
Xu Jian did not answer this sentence.
The Holy One did not wait for Xu Jian to speak, and continued: "I can understand what you told me a while ago, but I just don't know when Shao'er will cause trouble again. I'm watching too closely.
If it's too loose, it won't be suitable. This one has a certain degree of relaxation, which is easier said than done."
Xu Jian smiled softly and said: "You are different from me. At that time, you advised me not to think too much and to relax when you have time to relax. I did so because I am just a minister, but you are His Highness.
Your royal father is the sage of the world. When you treat His Highness, there is no such thing as a 'lower office'."
These few words fell into the heart of the Holy One.
The Holy One sighed again: "I am also reflecting on whether I, as a father, have not done a good enough job. Yes, it was a trap, just to plot against Shao'er, but Shao'er was plotted and he left on his own.
When he went in, he was drunk and sleeping with women. He was not innocent at all. I never taught him to behave like this, neither did Sangu, nor did you, but he chose to learn this..."
Xu Jian glanced at the Holy Emperor quickly, trying to figure out his thoughts, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face.
The Holy Master saw it with sharp eyes and asked: "There are no outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Something that came out when interrogating His Highness's bodyguards," Xu Jian pursed her lower lip, "At the beginning of the year, Liu Xun thought he had correctly guessed His Highness's preferences, so he talked nonsense to two of His Highness's bodyguards.
There was a guard who had no brains and wanted to rob someone. When His Highness found out, he lost his temper and even Liu Xun got kicked twice.
From this point of view, although His Highness does not taboo anything in matters between men and women, he really does not get confused and do anything messy."
The Holy Master's face darkened: "Why didn't Shan Shen mention this?"
"The evidence is unclear," Xu Jian said this, not wanting to cause trouble to Mr. Shan, let alone involve Lin Yunyan and the Jin family girl. "The guard and Liu Xun seem to have some grudges, and the guard with a bad mind has long been
No trace, Liu Xun completely denied it.
Mr. Shan will definitely not mention anything without evidence in the morning.
When Chen Hui mentioned it, I was just thinking that although the guard could not believe everything he said, and Liu Xun denied everything, it was possible that he mentioned it casually or because he was disgusted.
But at least, His Highness can still tell the difference.
He was caught red-handed this time, no doubt because the layout was too deep and he didn’t understand it himself, so he made one wrong step and another wrong step.”
After hearing this, the Holy Master did not pursue the past, but only looked at Xu Jian deeply: "I heard what you mean, do you want to intercede for Shaoer?"
Xu Jian lowered his head slightly.
Those evil hands are not so easy to find.
Even if they guessed who King Jin was, they still had to let Li Shao set the target.
According to His Majesty's will, Li Shao will step out of the East Palace sooner or later, so why not take advantage of Li Shao now?
When the situation is unclear, facing the prince is the best way to distance yourself.
After all, it was Xu Jian himself who made Li Shao go to Chenmi Hutong in a strange mood the night before.
As if he had thought deeply about it, Xu Jian raised his head again, with a much more serious expression: "Your Majesty, do you want to depose the prince?"
Eunuch Cao took the teapot to add tea to the Holy One. When he heard this, his hands shook and he almost spilled it.
He glanced at Xu Jian in astonishment.
Before he came in, he was quite reassured about the Duke of Fu. Unexpectedly, the young Duke suddenly gave him a hard blow.
After hesitating whether to file a lawsuit against Xu Jian, Eunuch Cao heard the Holy Father speak.
The Holy Emperor's tone was very calm, and he said word for word: "Some people want me to depose the prince, and their thoughts are written on their faces."
The Holy Spirit did not name who it was specifically.
"The prince made a mistake, but not to that extent," Xu Jian finished and added, "That's not a good idea either."
The Holy One glanced at Xu Jian again and signaled him to just keep talking.
Xu Jian rearranged his thoughts.
Then, he said a few words and paused, looking like he was thinking over and over again.
Don't be impatient, be reasonable and well-founded.
"In this morning's court, there are indeed many people pretending to be confused while pretending to understand."
"It's inevitable, everyone has their own thoughts."
"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a conspiracy. If even your most beloved Prince, His Highness, will be given up when being calculated in this way, what about the other princes?"
"It's not easy to scheme against people. It's extremely difficult to do it perfectly and escape unscathed. But as long as someone succeeds once, others will follow suit."
"We are all seniors who have been working hard in the court for decades. The most important thing they lack is self-confidence. If others can do it, can't I do it?"
"The threshold is too low and the benefits are so huge, who wouldn't be willing to take a gamble?"
"By then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your little royal highnesses to grow up safely. Even if they do grow up, they will still be in panic."
"Although everyone in the royal family has to go through this, you can't bear to do it."
"You dote on His Highness the Crown Prince, but the other Highnesses are also your royal sons."
Xu Jian has finished speaking.
The Holy One was silent for a long time.
He had never thought about deposing the crown prince. It was true that he preferred Shaoer. At the same time, what Xu Jian said was not unexpected to him.
The relationship between the prince and the court, whether it is establishing or abolishing, is not a simple matter.
Once it is not handled properly, there will be a series of troubles later.
At the same time, the Holy One also knows that at Xu Jian's age, he can understand the truth, and it is even more impossible for those old foxes to not understand.
Indeed, everyone is pretending to be confused and seeking their own interests.
Speaking frankly about this issue, the Holy One simply said to Xu: "Shaoer made a mistake and has to be punished. I really hope that he can learn from it and gain wisdom.
I can give him a lot, but I can't give him too much regardless. As you said, I am not only his father, I am also the sage of the world.
He doesn't make any progress, and I feel the most distressed.
This time, I can suppress it for him, but next time he will be plotted like this, or will he not be able to handle it himself?
Moreover, you have seen clearly today that just banning you is probably not enough, unless Shan Qing and the others can find out the person behind it."
Xu Jian said: "Judging from the current progress, it will be difficult to catch people. Moreover, there is a dancer who is not in good condition. She may..."
The Holy One raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.
After laying the groundwork for a long time, Xu Jian saw the opportunity: "I have something to do..."
"Speak directly." The Holy Master said hoarsely.
"Did the men you sent to Jiangzhou find the bones?" Xu Jian asked.
The Holy Emperor suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xu Jian solemnly: "Why do you ask this?"
Xu Jian was not afraid and spoke very sincerely: "The person who led Mr. Shan and others to Chenmi Hutong this time was the monk Daoheng. Whether he is from Li Mi or has another identity, only he knows. p>
But from the outside, he and Wang Liuliu have a close relationship, and they are both Li Mi's old subordinates.
If the real culprit cannot be found, can we blame Li Mi?"
The Holy Spirit thought for a long time and said: "Li Mi is dead. The bones outside Jiangzhou City are his. He was born with six fingers on his right foot. It is not easy to fake it."
"So," Xu Jian pretended to think, "someone is acting under Li Mi's banner?"
The Holy Spirit chuckled.
As a brother, he understood Li Mi somewhat.
Li Mi is a hot-tempered person, like a pile of dry straw, if a spark falls into it, it will crackle and explode.
At that time, he was a pioneer in exchanging refugees for meritorious service, and he was also a pioneer in questioning Li Cang. If he had not been at the forefront, he would not have been demoted to a commoner by the late emperor.
Perhaps, that kind of experience from heaven to earth will make Li Mi change his temper, but if his impulsive temperament can make Zhu Chang serve, the emperor has always had doubts.
As for Wang Liuliu’s mouth...
True and false are mixed together, and the muddy water becomes more and more chaotic.
While thinking about it, the Holy Father looked at Xu Jian again.
Most of his previous speculations were about the concubine's maternal family with ulterior motives, but when Xu Jian mentioned it, he opened up a new idea.
"What specific ideas do you have?" he asked.
"I want to..." Xu Jian thought about this "thinking" for almost half a quarter of an hour.
The Holy Spirit didn’t push him, he himself had a lot of ideas to sort out.
After Xu Jian finished pretending to think about it, he said: "Gold Bricks, do you still remember the two boxes of gold bricks in Wang's six-year confession?
No one knows where the gold bricks went. What if they appeared in Chenmi Hutong?
For the real gangster, disrupting his arrangements may allow him to respond proactively. Once he becomes proactive, flaws will be revealed.
As for other people with ulterior motives, once they find out that they are not only competing with the prince, but also with other young royal highnesses, and even scheming with your brother, they will be more or less jealous.
Once the prince falls, they fight to the end for the little royal highnesses they support, but your brother picks the peach...
I want to go here to mislead them. No one likes to make wedding clothes for others."
The Holy One listened attentively.
In his opinion, Xu Jian's idea is quite interesting.
Although there are some imperfections, it is already pretty good to be able to sort this out in just half an hour.
Of course, it is also possible that he came prepared and just hid his clumsiness appropriately.
The Holy Spirit does not reject this.
When a monarch and his ministers get along, no matter how frank they are, they will still have a certain temper.
Compared to the aggressive and impatient veterans, Xu Jian at least stood firmer.
Xu Jian is not involved with the concubines, but is more familiar with Shao'er.
Although Xu Jian's leg injury was caused by Shao'er, the Holy Master looked at Xu Jian's temperament and would not be dissatisfied with Shao'er because of this.
Xu Jian married Ning'an again.
Xu Jian, there is no reason to have any objections.
The Holy Spirit thought a lot and said: "There are two boxes of gold bricks in the palace, but taking them out will make too much noise."
With so little manpower, it’s really hard to move that weight.
It is not easy to place two boxes of gold bricks in the house without being noticed.
Not to mention that the Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen were watching the house at the moment, but so were everyone else.
"Only two or three yuan?" Xu Jian asked, "Can it make people think of Li Guitou at once?"
He asked knowingly.
He knew that there were traces on Li Mi's gold bricks, which was also a clue for them to determine the origin of the gold bricks.
But he had to pretend not to know and let the Holy Spirit come up to make up for it.
The Holy Father recalled it for a while, then drew a stroke on the paper and showed it to Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao nodded: "Like."
The Holy Emperor then gave the paper to Xu Jian again: "Li Mi has a habit of signing. If there is such a trace left on the gold brick, it can be pushed to him."
Xu Jian suddenly realized it and looked confused.
Gold is not that hard, but several different gold bricks have to carve the same marks after being formed, and they are all natural, which is a test of craftsmanship.
It is best to leave it on the mold, melt it and recast it, and there will be no difference in the shape.
"Time is tight," he said, "recasting takes time."
The Holy One asked: "Is there any goldsmith with excellent skills?"
"I have inquired about it," Xu Jian said honestly without blushing, "I wanted to buy some jewelry as a gift for the princess, so I sent people to the various gold shops in the city, but most of them were doing delicate work of making women's jewelry...
…”
The Holy One made the final decision: "Choose a suitable person. If you don't have time to recast it, try carving one or two pieces. If you can get a seventy-eight-point image, you can handle it. You can do it privately and hide it from Shan Qing and Wan Qing first."<
/p>
Xu Jian was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed, and then said: "I have one more thing to do. Liu Xun acted improperly and led the prince astray. He..."
The Holy Master frowned.
He didn't believe that Xu Jian would be so stupid that he would even help Liu Xun.
"He deserves it, and Mr. Liu cannot escape accountability," Xu Jian said respectfully, "It's just Mr. Liu's wife and daughter. I want to ask for a favor."
The Holy Spirit is noncommittal.
Xu Jian stood up and bowed: "The princess lost her mother when she was young. Even if she is not close to her, the relationship is a bit complicated, but I still hope to have such an identity there."
He has to let the Holy One see his selfishness.
He was just sharing worries and solving problems, just looking for solutions for Li Shao. He was someone who was used to having fun, and even if he was asked to go to Shuntian Mansion to assist in the investigation, he seemed too active.
Only selfishness can support his positivity.
The Holy Father closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
The word mother is so heavy.
This is what he and Shaoer owe Ning An.
Furthermore, as the king of a country, he does not like to "leave no one behind in the family" at every turn.
Besides, it doesn't make sense that he used Li Mi to suppress Shao'er but showed no mercy to the Liu family.
It was rare for Xu Jian to ask for help, or in other words, it was rare for him to have his own selfish motives.
"You have a mouth full of trouble," the Holy Lord raised his hand and nodded to Xu Jian, "It's for peace and quiet, but you can't do anything but ignore your biological mother. I know it well."
Xu Jian thanked him.
With the word "汨" written by the Holy Master himself, Xu Jian left the imperial study.
Eunuch Cao privately took two gold bricks and gave them to Xu Jian.
Xu Jian accepted it and sent it to a trustworthy gold shop, where he found a master to carve it and try it out.
The old master was busy until the afternoon, not even bothering to eat lunch, and relied on his superb craftsmanship to deliver the goods.
Xu Jian looked at the light carefully.
It can't compare to the real thing in his hand, but for people who have never seen the real thing, it can look real for a while.
