Nine hundred and seventieth chapters father and son turned against each other
Huang Shilang of the Ministry of Justice was once considered a rising star in the court. There was never a shortage of officials in the court, but there was a shortage of capable officials like Huang Shilang.
However, in officialdom, ability is not the most important thing.
Don’t you see that in today’s court, those incompetent people who live on their own bodies and eat nothing can still live a more prosperous life than anyone else?
If you want to do well in the officialdom, ability only comes second. The most important thing is to have a correct stance.
Although Huang Shilang has outstanding abilities, he obviously doesn't have much eyesight. He can't tell that His Majesty doesn't want to thoroughly investigate the old cases, but he insists on going against His Majesty. If he is not demoted, who will be demoted?
Ministry of Punishment.
When the officials of the Ministry of Justice mentioned Huang Shilang, they all looked regretful.
He was originally the person with the brightest future in the Ministry of Justice. He might become a very important figure in the court in his lifetime, but because of this trivial matter that had nothing to do with him, his future was ruined.
Song Yi looked at Huang Shilang who was packing his things and asked, "Is it worth it?"
Huang Shilang looked back at him and said with a smile: "In Xiaguan's heart, there is no value or not, only the truth."
Song Yi shook his head and said, "You still didn't get the truth in the end."
Huang Shilang looked at him and asked with a smile: "Do you really think so?"
Song Yi looked at the smile on his face and was slightly shocked.
It seems that Huang Shilang has got the answer he wants, but due to his status, he is unable to reveal the answer.
In fact, not only him, but also no one in the huge court could reveal this answer.
No matter who dares to get involved in the dark history of the royal family, they will end up with the same fate as Huang Shilang.
He patted Huang Shilang on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "Be careful along the way."
…
Huang Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment was demoted. On the third day after he was transferred and left the capital, he encountered bandits.
Several of his followers died one after another, but strangely, Huang Shilang seemed to have disappeared from the world and disappeared completely.
With Tang Ning's intelligence capabilities, she was naturally able to find out that on the same day that Huang Shilang left the capital, several spies also quietly left the capital for an unknown purpose.
Maybe Huang Shilang has completely disappeared from this world, or maybe he knew that it would be unlucky to go to Beijing, so he found a place to hide to avoid this disaster.
But no matter what, after Huang Shilang, no one dared to mention the taboo topic twenty years ago.
Tangning was waiting for that person's next move.
The matter of Huang Shilang is definitely not the end. It is just the beginning. As an introduction, it has already played its due role.
The things that Huang Shilang found out have already flowed into the public. People have different opinions and speculations about this. Those were just guesses at first, but Huang Shilang's next encounter gave many speculations a basis, and headed towards what Chen Huang least wanted to happen.
That direction has developed.
If all this goes as Tangning guessed, then it will be time for King Huai himself to appear.
There was just one thing he was confused about. Not to mention that King Huai only had the father-in-law of General Yu Linwei. Even if he controlled the entire Yulin Guard and wanted to rebel, he would undoubtedly be destroying himself. He could occupy the palace, but then
What they have to face is the siege from the other fourteen guards.
From the perspective of King Huai, Tang Ning made many deductions, but none of them succeeded.
Unless King Huai wants to die, he will never rebel.
Or maybe his purpose was never to be an emperor...
Prince Huai's Mansion.
In an underground secret room.
Huang Shilang bowed his hands to King Huai and said, "I've tried my best."
King Huai said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Huang Shilang sighed softly and asked: "Has His Highness really decided? After taking this step, there is really no way out."
King Huai said: "We have already come this far, why not take a few more steps to see what a pity it would be to look back..."
Ministry of Punishment.
Huang Shilang's departure is a good thing for the entire Punishment Department. They no longer need to face pressure from above. Who knows whether His Majesty will be angry with the entire Punishment Department when this matter comes to an end.
Although the old case from that year was suppressed, His Majesty could guard against Huang Shilang, but he could not guard against Youyou.
Not only the private sector, but also officials from the Ministry of Justice are discussing this matter behind the scenes.
"It's such a pity, Mr. Huang..."
"Yes, with his ability, it is not impossible for him to sit in the position of Lord Shangshu in the future..."
"Master Huang is too stubborn. How dare we take on such a case?"
"You said that Huang Shilang hasn't found anything yet. Didn't His Majesty admit it himself?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't you want your head?"
…
Several principals were discussing quietly in the duty room. One of them raised his hand and saw a figure at the door of the duty room at some unknown time. He immediately got excited and stood up and said: "Huai, His Highness King Huai?"
King Huai nodded, looked at him calmly, and asked, "Is the Minister of Song here?"
"Yes, yes..." The official nodded and said, "I will go and invite Mr. Song right now."
When Song Yi heard what the chief official said, he smiled bitterly and murmured: "What is supposed to come has come..."
He has always known in his heart that regarding that old case from twenty years ago, the person who should and wants to investigate the most clearly is definitely not Huang Shilang who is just pursuing the truth... but King Huai.
Concubine Yang is the biological mother of King Huai, and the Queen is the adoptive mother of King Huai. There may be something fishy about the deaths of the biological mother and the adoptive mother. How can a son of a human being not want to investigate this matter clearly?
If this case is not investigated, it will offend King Huai, and if it is investigated, it will offend His Majesty. The Criminal Department is caught in the middle, and is in a dilemma.
Song Yi made a decision in his heart and said: "Tell His Highness Prince Huai that I am not feeling well and have gone home to recuperate..."
After arranging all this, he slipped out of the back door of the Yamen and went straight back to the Song Mansion. On the pretext of being ill, he closed the door and thanked guests without seeing anyone...
At this time, King Huai also learned about Song Yi's illness from the mouth of the chief official.
King Huai shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter that Mr. Song is not here. I just came to ask how your investigation went on the case of Concubine Yang and the Empress that Father asked you to investigate thoroughly."
When the principal heard this, his heart skipped a beat and sank.
Everyone knows that His Majesty said that he would let the Ministry of Punishment conduct a thorough investigation, which was completely sarcastic. Huang Shilang listened to His Majesty's words and conducted a thorough investigation. But now, as for others, His Majesty may have sent people to cut them into pieces. Who else from the Ministry of Punishment would dare to investigate?
But no matter what His Majesty was thinking, he did issue the order for the Ministry of Punishment to investigate thoroughly. During this period, His Majesty was recuperating in the palace. King Huai was exercising the power of the prime minister, so he naturally had the right to intervene in this matter.
case……
At this moment, everyone finally understood why Master Shangshu fell ill so quickly.
King Huai looked at them and said: "Bring me the files on this case. If you don't check it, I will check it myself."
The chief officer went to get the case file tremblingly, with a look of horror on his face and a turmoil in his heart.
Your Highness King Huai, this is to offend His Majesty. Maybe there will be another wave of bloodshed in the capital. Why are their Criminal Department so unlucky? This kind of thing actually happened to them...
…
Huang Shilang left the Ministry of Justice, and the case that should have been shelved was taken over by King Huai himself.
When this news came out from the Ministry of Justice, it caused a huge earthquake in the capital.
After the Huang Shilang incident, everyone in the capital knew that His Majesty did not want anyone to investigate this case further, and that anyone who disobeyed His Majesty would pay a very serious price.
However, at this time, King Huai bucked the trend and completely took over the case.
He had a reason to do this. Concubine Yang and the Queen were his biological and adoptive mothers. How could he pretend that nothing had happened?
Although he is King Huai, standing opposite him is his father, the current His Majesty. One can only imagine what will happen to King Huai.
Royal Palace, Yangshen Temple.
When Chen Huang heard some news, he smashed the jade cup containing ginseng soup and said in a dark voice: "Let him come to the palace to see me!"
