The King of Shu sprained his foot a few days ago, and now he was limping toward the Li Zheng Palace, supported by two servants.
"Your Highness, please slow down..."
The imperial doctor said that His Highness should focus on self-cultivation these days and avoid going to the fields. The servant said with some worry.
The King of Shu waved his hand and said solemnly: "Why wait, a murder occurred in the Chen family. Someone wanted to practice favoritism and cover up the suspect. Chen Yuanwailang is loyal to me. If I just stand by and watch, wouldn't it chill him and make him feel sad?"
Are many of the adults in the court disappointed?"
The servant thought that you were not trying to trick Mr. Li into the well. As soon as he heard the news, he hurried over, with an expression of being moved by him on his face.
"Hurry up, I'm afraid it's going to be down in the morning." King Shu straightened his clothes and walked up the steps.
Today's morning meeting was already very late. If it were delayed any longer, he might not be able to see some interesting scenes.
At this moment, noisy footsteps came from the hall.
"Is it going to court?"
When the King of Shu saw this, his expression was startled, showing a bit of disappointment.
At the same time, hundreds of officials walked out of the palace with different expressions.
A lot of things happened in the morning today. A series of measures were taken against Qi and Zhao. The son of a foreign minister from the Ministry of Rites was poisoned to death. Zhao Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment accepted huge bribes and engaged in malpractice for personal gain. Uncle Li, who was innocently implicated, has not yet surfaced.
The mastermind behind the surface...
Of course, the horror of the Secret Service once again set a new limit in their hearts.
The Minister of Punishment is really finished this time. Not only that, judging from His Majesty’s last few words, the Ministry of Punishment may be undergoing a major change this time. Liu Yishou temporarily takes over the position of Minister of Punishment. Among the six departments, he originally belonged to
Zhao Guangyuan, the King of Shu and the Prime Minister of Qin, who is likely to become the Minister of Punishment in the future, will face double investigations by Dali Temple and the Secret Intelligence Department. It is unknown how many officials will be involved.
And the person who used the corruption of Zhao Guangyuan, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to frame County Uncle Li and poison the son of Wailang, the minister of etiquette, and manipulated all this behind the scenes, although he still did not show up and did not leave too many traces and clues, but
Baiguan knew clearly that except for a limited number of people, no one had the motivation or ability to do such a thing.
The conflict between Uncle Li and the King of Shu was seen by everyone. If they wanted to get rid of him quickly, of course it was them.
However, the possibility of His Highness the King of Shu is smaller, because the Chen family is also considered a lineage of the King of Shu. Just to cause trouble for County Uncle Li, they killed the Chen family's son and planted a minister of the Ministry of Punishment - this kind of harm to people
Most people would not do things that are not beneficial to their own interests. Your Highness, King of Shu, should not hate County Uncle Li that much, right?
When the courtier in front was about to go down the steps, he was blocked by someone.
The one blocking their way was the King of Shu.
After a brief moment of astonishment, an official immediately bowed and said respectfully: "I have met His Highness the King of Shu."
The King of Shu put away the disappointment on his face, nodded, and asked: "I heard that Master Chen's son of the Ministry of Rites was murdered, and the Secret Service protected the suspect. I wonder what the result will be?"
At this time, his face was full of righteousness, and he thought that he had seen a lot of emperors' tricks in the past two days, and this moment was the most suitable to win people's hearts.
The official looked up at the King of Shu, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes. After a moment, he whispered: "This case... has been solved by the Secret Intelligence Department."
When the words fell, the courtiers behind him looked at the King of Shu with a completely different look.
"Detected?"
The King of Shu was stunned when he heard this, and more courtiers came out from the opposite side.
There was no expression on Xiang Qin's face. He looked at the King of Shu with a suspicious look and left directly.
Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, looked pale and his eyes were extremely complicated. He didn't even salute. When he passed by the King of Shu, his whole body hunched over.
When half of the courtiers passed by him and felt the various eyes and strange expressions of the people, a look of confusion appeared on the King of Shu's face.
"They're all—what's wrong?"
…
"I thank your Majesty!" Li Yi bowed to Emperor Jing in a garden behind the Li Zheng Palace.
"Thank you, there's no need." Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "You are now a county magistrate after all. How could you be plotted against me like this? Can you be a little more careful and stop causing me more trouble..."
"Chen..." Li Yi wanted to say that he was also helpless. He didn't provoke anyone. The last two times, one was when he was bullied and passively defended. The other time, he might not be able to control the king as he wanted.
With such a domineering spirit, could the other party be so ruthless?
Emperor Jing waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Do you know who is behind this incident?"
"We don't know yet." Li Yi shook his head.
Even Liu Yishou didn't find any clues. He only had a few guesses in his mind.
But those speculations are not suitable to be spoken out on this occasion.
"You are still a little reckless about this matter. I will let Dali Temple and the Secret Intelligence Department investigate this matter thoroughly." Emperor Jing looked at him and said: "I have handed over the punishment department to Liu Yishou. You can also help me keep a closer eye on it.
One of the six departments has become so decayed, and I cannot escape the blame..."
Emperor Jing said a few words, sat down in the pavilion, covered his chest, with an abnormal blush on his face, and said: "You should go back first..."
Then he remembered something again and said: "In the future, when playing chess with Shouning, you are not allowed to cheat."
"If you don't cheat, you won't be able to play well..." Li Yi sighed in his heart. Tsundere Lolita is cute and cute in other places, but her talent in playing chess is unparalleled. As a gentleman, if she loses to him
How can I save my face as a student?
I don’t know how the old emperor was born. Except for the King of Shu, his sons and daughters are more powerful than the other. It’s no wonder he is so unpopular.
When he walked out of the garden, Li Xuan walked up to him and asked him to wait for him at the palace gate. Before he could reach the palace gate, he chased after him from behind, raised the sign in his hand as if to show off, and asked: "Secret spy."
Can the company enter and exit the engineering department at will and read the drawings?"
Li Yi waved his hand: "The Secret Service can't do it, but you can."
Even the secret agent commander's brand can be given to him at will, so what are the drawings from the Ministry of Industry?
Li Xuan put the sign away and then said seriously: "In this matter, the Cui family and King Hui are the most likely, and the King of Shu is also very likely. It is impossible for Prime Minister Qin to let Qin Yu do whatever he wants. If anything is discovered,
, you must tell me and don’t act rashly.”
"Don't worry." Li Yi waved his hand and said.
There are still many things to do next, so there is no time to waste here. Zeng Zuimo and Yang Liuqing should have returned home by now. They may be quite surprised by what happened this time.
The Secret Intelligence Department must send people to keep an eye on that place. Although no matter who is behind the scenes, there should be no more actions in a short period of time, but even the son of the Minister of Etiquette, Wairo, can be easily poisoned.
, and there’s no guarantee that he won’t do something even more outrageous in his madness.
We first went to Yangliu Lane. The people from the Secret Service had already sent them home. Wan Ruoqing also came back. It wasn't until she saw Li Yi coming that the worry on her face disappeared.
Li Yi didn't stay there long, because there were more important things to do next.
The twists and turns that were enough to affect the entire court only took a few hours. However, although it was calm on the surface, it was unknown how many invisible undercurrents were surging inside...
