The days passed uneventfully, and in the blink of an eye, the autumn colors deepened.

In late September, another major event occurred in the imperial court.

Meng Jingyuan, the doctor of Yushitai, wrote to impeach Qi Shen, the prince of Zhenguo, and said that Qi Shen embezzled military salaries, embezzled military funds, and colluded with foreign thieves when he was the general of the Zhenguo Army.

Sprinkled with joy, the punishment of Qi Shen was listed on the fold, and the fold was presented to Emperor Ren with a full inch of thickness.

and threatened that if this thief is not removed, he Meng Jingyuan will not be blind to death.

Emperor Ren pinched this inch-thick fold in the early court, and his eyes were aimed at the five princes.

Qi Shen has already handed over the military power, and there is only one name of Zhenguo Gong, so naturally he will not appear in the early dynasty.

Meng Jingyuan's guilt was said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

The military generals looked at each other.

Everyone knows that since Xiao Deyun's case, it is obvious that Qi Shen, another big supporter of the princelings, has also been involved.

Of course, outsiders may not know, Qi Shen's case is obviously not just the handiwork of the five princes.

Emperor Ren has been looking for that stone for more than two years, and so far, not to mention the soul stone, he doesn't know what it looks like, so how can he not be angry.

It's just that Qi Shen is extremely smart and knows how to avoid it.

He handed over the military power in his hands early, and he was even more desperate to move around with the East Palace, obviously to keep himself out of the court.

Emperor Ren had summoned him to the palace every time before, and he accepted any reprimands and punishments for any reason.

The Zhenguo Mansion is even more closed-door, refusing all relatives and friends to visit, but the Zhenguo Mansion has thought about it behind closed doors.

This trick is very amazing, and everyone in the world says that Emperor Ren has a small belly and chicken intestines, and he unloads the mill and kills the donkey.

Zhenguo Gong, but he is still the one who cares about the world, worries about the world, and protects the safety of the world.

Emperor Ren sneered, threw the fold in his hand on the ground, and said to the prince: "Take a look." ”

The prince picked up the thick fold on the ground with a gloomy face, and his face was already white after only two pages.

He knelt in front of the emperor, "Father, the matter is serious." Zhenguo Gongqi's family has been a great Yan Rong horse for me all his life, and he is loyal. In the battle against the demon clan alone, the Zhenguo Gong used his body as a talisman to seal the Valley of the Wind, and his only daughter was also killed in the battle, and now he is the only one in the Zhenguo Mansion. Don't listen to slander in this matter, father. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong in what he said, on merit and deeds, on crimes should be punished, and rewards and punishments should be the right way. The Duke of Zhenguo made great achievements in the war, and His Majesty also conferred on him the title of duke. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at this great hot world, how many of the dukes had foreign surnames? Wouldn't this be a great reward? If Qi Shen was really greedy for military salaries, then he should be punished. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to clear the punishment and reward. Besides, this matter has not been verified, and it is not known whether it is true or false, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to be nervous. ”

It was Yu Xihe, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who spoke, and he looked at the prince as he said this seriously, and the ivory wat board in his hand was just between him and Emperor Ren.

The crown prince looked at him, "Lord Yu, as you said, what should happen to this matter?"

Yu Xihe bowed his head, "I should be impartial to verify, file a case and try it, and return the innocence of the town to the country." ”

The prince stood up violently, "As the lord said, you want to send Zhenguo Gong to the Criminal Department, waiting for this matter to be clarified?"

"Exactly. Yu Xihe said.

"Ridiculous!" the prince exclaimed.

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Ren said in a low voice, "In the court, there is such a loud noise, what kind of system. ”

The prince knelt down again, "Father, the prince of Zhenguo is famous, but with such an impeachment, there is no evidence, and he will be escorted to the criminal department, doesn't it chill the hearts of the people of the world?"

Huang Zhi, who was standing among the civil officials, chuckled in his heart and looked at the prince.

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Ren raised his voice at this time, "The voice of the people in this world is not yet your turn to convey, and besides, the hearts of the people in this world are too easy to get cold." ”

The crown prince knew that he had said the wrong thing, and Emperor Ren hated him the most for talking about the people of the world, as if this showed his love for the people.

And it is precisely that Emperor Ren's love for the people is not so obvious.

The prince said: "Father, there is no evidence in this matter, and it must not be filed like this." ”

Emperor Ren rubbed the corners of his eyebrows.

The six princes came out of the crowd, "Father, the sons have an idea, and they are willing to share their worries for their father." ”

Say. Emperor Ren said impatiently.

The sixth prince said: "It's better to let the Zhenguo Gong rest in the mansion for a few days, and the Criminal Department will check the evidence according to the rules." If the evidence is true, then file a case for investigation, if the evidence is not true, the matter will be regarded as a misunderstanding. ”

Huang Zhi pinched the wat board in his hand and trembled.

has been an official for decades, and it is the first time that I have heard such a shameless and obvious planting.

The prince was also shocked, and he had nothing to say for a while.

Emperor Ren rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, "I have a headache, so let's do it." ”

After that, he flicked his sleeves up.

The eunuch sang the word "retreat", but the prince had not yet reacted.

The ministers around him held the wat board in their hands and walked out in twos and threes, Huang Zhi lowered his eyes and thought about it, but he still went to the side of the prince who was standing stiffly and knelt and said, "Your Highness, get up." ”

The prince's back did not move at all, and Huang Zhi saw that he had already walked cleanly.

Even the six princes who had a good idea just now had already turned around and walked out of the main hall step by step.

Huang Zhi stepped forward to help the prince up, but saw the prince's shoulders shrug.

A man in his thirties, who has been in charge of the East Palace for ten years, the prince has never felt so powerless.

Huang Zhi saw the crystal on the prince's face in disbelief.

I saw the prince turn his head to look at him, "Lord Huang, Lord Xiao is half a teacher in this palace." Zhen Guogong is the martial arts enlightenment teacher of the palace, and he has supported the palace for many years. Back then, he took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the army to fight the demons, and I still remember the bowl of practice wine at the city gate, and my father personally honored him. Why is it like this now?"

Huang Zhi looked left and right, there were only the two of them in the empty hall.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the ground is cold, and the ministers help you up. Huang Zhidao.

The prince slowly got up, leaving a place of desolation.

The weather was cold, and it rained again in the past few days.

The sycamore trees in Siyi Garden, where Nanxing lives, have fallen a lot of leaves, and the girls who sprinkle and sweep in the outer yard are diligent and diligent, getting up early every day to sweep the leaves.

"Hmmm", "Whew"——

Nanxing sat in front of the window and tied his hair, the early morning fog layered up, covering the trees in the yard a little weak.

Rong'er brought the hot water to the ear room, "The girl got up so early?"

Nanxing was still looking out the window, and replied shallowly, "Hmm." ”

What got up early, obviously stayed up all night.

Last night, the Zhenguo Mansion was surrounded by Jin Wuwei, and the Zhenguo Gong was equivalent to being placed under house arrest.

Although, with his ability, it is not a problem to break through those guards. But if he really did that, he would have confessed to the charges of slandering him.

Mo Yasi received a secret order to verify the evidence of Qi Shen's embezzlement of military salaries.

Yang Bai also stayed overnight in the Mo Yasi.

Rong'er quietly walked to Nanxing's side, "What are you looking at, do you want to go to the yard? ”

Nanxing loosened the hair in his hand, "Rong'er, you asked Su'er to comb my hair, I'm going out." ”
