Wang Wanzhi turned around and glared at Wang Yuanjun, then said with the same calm expression: "Wei Chen has some guesses in his mind, but he just needs to take a look at the memorial that Wang Shangshu presented at the beginning..."
Xia Huanyu nodded and handed the fold to Liu Wen'an. Liu Wen'an walked down and handed it to Wang Wanzhi. Wang Wanzhi opened it and looked at it carefully for a while. He was silent for a long time until Wang Yuanjun became a little impatient and then calmly said
He spoke: "Wei Chen said that he had never seen these two memorials. There is a reason. This reason has been confirmed just now, but Wang Shangshu still needs to answer a few questions."
"Tell me about it." Xia Huanyu said calmly.
Wang Wanzhi responded quickly, "I wonder if Wang Shangshu can give me an answer?"
A flash of anxiety quickly flashed in Wang Yuanjun's eyes, and he waved his hand impatiently and said: "Ask, ask. If there is a problem that I know about, I will naturally tell you."
Wang Wanzhi smiled and nodded: "Just now, Wang Shangshu said that it was Mrs. Wei who told Wang Shangshu that Wang Shangshu had previously written two memorials with the same content and submitted them to His Majesty, but His Majesty never approved it?"
Wang Yuanjun was a little confused and nodded gently: "Yes."
Wang Wanzhi also nodded: "Okay, can Mrs. Wei tell you when these two envelopes were submitted? It doesn't matter if Wang Shangshu forgets to ask this question. Mrs. Wei will be introduced to the palace.
Just ask and you will know.”
"Mrs. Wei said it was before the full moon banquet of the young prince." Wang Yuanjun frowned and responded.
Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, her eyes fell on Wang Wanzhi, and she saw Wang Wanzhi also laughing.
"Okay." After Wang Wanzhi finished speaking, he saluted Xia Huanyu, "Wei Chen doesn't need to ask the rest of the questions. Wei Chen already has the answer."
"Oh? Tell me." Xia Huanyu moved forward a little and sat up straighter.
Wang Wanzhi said softly: "Just as the Crown Princess mentioned the issue of the letter that was said to be written by the Prince, the issues of these three memorials are also based on this handwriting."
"There are many people who like calligraphy among the ministers of the DPRK, and there are also many people who like to collect calligraphy and paintings. They should all know that the handwriting becomes faded over time. Many calligraphy and painting collectors like ink that looks a bit old.
, but Weichen has been this female official for so long, but he also discovered that there are two adults in the court who have different preferences from everyone. That is Mr. Wei, the eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, and Mr. Meng, the academician of the Hanlin Academy. The ink they like to use is both
Huai'an ink. Most people must be aware of the characteristics of Huai'an ink."
Wang Wanzhi looked calm: "When Huaian ink is just written, it will look a little lighter, but the longer it goes by, the more it looks like new ink, and there will be a black stroke slightly darker than other places on the edge of the word, which is also true.
The longer the day goes by, the darker the black outline becomes."
"Master Wei submitted two memorials and wrote the third one. Logically speaking, it should be that one memorial will not be submitted again until it has been approved. Government affairs are busy, and His Majesty generally approves one memorial within a certain period of time.
It was five days. In other words, this third memorial should be at least ten days later than the first memorial. However, the ink on these three memorials is exactly the same. Look, it should have been written just after it was written.
Until the fifth day."
Wang Wanzhi raised her eyes and looked at an official who was about fifty or sixty years old standing among the hundreds of officials on the left: "Scholar Meng, come and take a look, is it as I said?"
The man lowered his head and did not hear Xia Huanyu's voice, so he responded, walked to Wang Wanzhi, took the three memorials and looked at them, "What Ms. Wang said is true, these three memorials,
Not to mention five days, I'm afraid it won't even be three days."
When Wang Wanzhi heard this, a faint smile appeared on her face, probably because she was happy because the suspicion was finally cleared.
Wang Wanzhi suddenly knelt down on the ground and raised her voice: "Your Majesty, someone intends to frame a minister, and also forged a false letter, intending to slander His Highness the Crown Prince. I beg your Majesty to find out the matter, clean up the government, and bring justice."
Chao Gang, so as not to be deceived by treacherous villains."
The corners of Yun Shang's lips curled up slightly. Wang Wanzhi knew that if she just let Xia Huanyu make the decision for her, the weight would be a bit insufficient, so she deliberately dragged Luo Qingyan. After all, slandering and framing His Highness the Crown Prince was a much more serious crime than framing a female official.
No wonder Wang Wanzhi was able to stand out from so many people in the harem and win the position of female official. Among her subordinates, only Ning Qian could achieve this with such intelligence and calmness. She was a talent that could be created.
Xia Huanyu nodded, "Li Qianmo obeys orders."
When Li Qianmo heard this, he quickly responded and walked out of the crowd.
Xia Huanyu raised his voice and said: "This matter will be left to you to investigate. You are required to find out the real culprit who framed His Highness the Crown Prince and Wang Wanzhi within three days."
Li Qianmo quickly received the order.
Yun Shang saw that Wang Yuanjun's face was a little ugly. Not to mention that just now he had sworn to identify Wang Wanzhi and promised that if he was found to have slandered Wang Wanzhi, he would be punished as an accessory. Just now, Xia Huanyu directly pointed out that he was just the Minister of Punishment.
Li Qianmo came to be responsible for investigating this matter, and not him as the Minister of Punishment did this, which already made his attitude clear.
It's no wonder that Wang Yuanjun felt a little sweat on his forehead, and he felt a little unsteady even when he was kneeling.
After Xia Huanyu finished his instructions, there was a hint of impatience on his face. He raised his head and looked at Wang Yuanjun and said: "I'm afraid Wang Yuanjun is really old. He kept chattering without even finding out what happened."
You ran up to the Tai Chi Hall to cause trouble, and I saw that you were not in good health, so there was no need to go to court."
Wang Yuanjun's whole body went limp, and the sweat on his forehead fell in large drops, "Wei Chen accepts the order."
Xia Huanyu then looked at Xia Houjing again, "With regard to the murder of Qin Tianjian and the Minister of Household Affairs, does the Seventh Prince have anything else to defend, or is there any evidence?"
Xia Houjing smiled, with a bit of bitterness on his face: "My son, I will let my father handle me."
"I just said that if the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the people, he will be thrown into the sky prison and will be executed in ten days." Xia Huanyu stood up, with a tired look on his face: "Retreat from the court."
Liu Wen'an quickly sang: "Your Majesty retires from the court."
He quickly helped Xia Huanyu into the side hall, and Wang Wanzhi also lowered his head and followed Liu Wen'an into the side hall.
Yun Shang slowly stood up straight, walked to Luo Qingyan, raised her head with a smile, "I'm so worried about you."
Luo Qingyan reached out and tapped Yun Shang's forehead, and said with a smile: "Thank you, madam." Then he reached out and held Yun Shang's hand, and turned around to leave the Tai Chi Hall.
Passing by Xia Houjing, Xia Houjing's voice was a bit gloomy and came from Yun Shang: "I do regret that I couldn't marry you. If I marry you, I'm afraid that sooner or later the country will be too.
mine."
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan both heard this. Yun Shang turned around with a smile, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit cold: "No, Seventh Prince, your biggest mistake is to choose to be an enemy of His Highness."
If from the time Luo Qingyan arrived in the Xia Kingdom, Xia Houjing would be able to understand the situation clearly and join Luo Qingyan's camp. Luo Qingyan is not an intolerable person. Even if he one day ascends the throne and becomes emperor, Xia Houjing will be the one to do so.
It is not difficult for a wealthy and idle prince. But he has to fight with Luo Qingyan...
Even if she, Ning Yunshang, had extraordinary abilities, she could not compare to Luo Qingyan. Xia Houjing had never seen Luo Qingyan when she first met her, and she was at a disadvantage in everything. All she wanted to do was
Let yourself keep getting stronger, strong enough to be qualified to stand side by side with Luo Qingyan.
Yun Shang turned her head and glanced at Hua Yutong. Hua Yutong's face was also pale. Perhaps she had not yet recovered from the loss of her virginity due to being examined by the old nanny, when she heard Xia Houjing being beaten into the sky again.
After hearing the news about the prison, there was also a hint of despair in his eyes.
Yun Shang slowly moved her eyes away. She couldn't deny that she was still a little soft-hearted towards Hua Yutong, but she also understood that if she was soft-hearted, Hua Yutong would definitely continue to be used by Xia Houjing, and then she would never be able to leave Xia Houjing.
Jing's palm was in the palm of his hand.
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan left the palace, got on the carriage, and went straight to the Prince's Mansion.
Back in Nanyuan, Ning Qian, Qianyin, Qinyi and the others were all waiting in front of the small building in Nanyuan. Qinyi held Bao'er in her arms and looked at Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan with a smile.
Yun Shang couldn't help but put up a big smile, ran over quickly, hugged Bao'er in her arms, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "A narrow win."
Qin Yi and the others had already received the flying pigeon message from the palace, and said with a smile: "The Crown Princess is humble, but I heard that your Majesty personally made a decree to put the seventh prince into the sky prison, and he will be sentenced to death in ten days."
If you ask me, how can this be a narrow victory?"
Yun Shang's smile faded a bit: "After all, with the lives of Qin Tianjian and Hubu Shangshu, it is appropriate to kill the Seventh Prince. However, His Majesty's hasty order this time makes people feel uncomfortable.
, as if he was protecting His Highness for the sake of Empress Hua."
Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "No matter what the reason is, as long as the purpose is achieved, it will be fine."
Qianyin also smiled and said: "Your Highness is right, tonight, we have to have a good celebration while drinking wine and singing."
Laughter filled the yard.
Qin Yi also smiled and said: "I think that if we are celebrating, we should call Wang Wanzhi out of the palace. I have heard that this time, Wang Wanzhi is a great hero."
Yun Shang said with a smile: "But don't get carried away. There are so many people staring at us now. We have to be more careful and don't let anyone catch us."
"Yes." Everyone laughed.
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan returned to the house together. Listening to the laughter coming from downstairs, Yun Shang put Bao'er, who was already asleep, on his little bed, shook it gently, and then raised his eyes to look
He spoke to Luo Qingyan, but saw Luo Qingyan standing by the window, seemingly thoughtful. (To be continued)
