Chapter 21: Imprisonment

"Father, the son thinks that what the third lady said is right. Shangguan Zichen stepped forward and said.

"Uncle Emperor, Yu'er also thinks that what Sister Bai said is right. "Although I don't understand it very well, the poison is not under the third sister Bai.

When Bai Yuxi saw someone say this, she couldn't stop sighing, it turned out that this royal family still has people who know right from wrong, and when she thought about it like this, she suddenly had motivation, at least someone agreed with her.

"Yu'er is really rare to be sensible!" Shangguan Zichen said softly.

The third brother also felt that Yu'er was right" Shangguan Fengjin saw that it was his son and niece who spoke, but it was not easy to reprimand, and looked at Bailiqing who was standing aside, and he knew where Bailiqing was lowering his head and seemed to be asleep.

"Prince, what do you think about this matter?" Shangguan Fengjin could only ask Shangguan Xuri in second place.

If this question is not answered well, it may also affect itself; Shangguan Xuri thought for a while and said: "Father, this matter should be investigated carefully, Prime Minister Bai is an important minister of our court, and he should not be hastily concluded." This answer is ingenious, both answered and did not say what to do, Shangguan Fengjin was dissatisfied after hearing this, isn't this equivalent to not saying it, then I still ask you what to do.

At this time, none of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty stepped forward, because no one dared to say at this time, if you asked the emperor to deal with it lightly, in case this Bai Yi really had a bad intention, he would be regarded as a fellow party; if you asked the emperor to punish him severely, then if this Bai Yi was framed, wouldn't it be a plain offense to Prime Minister Dachen.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that since Prime Minister Bai Cheng is suspected of murdering the prince, he should be put in prison first, and then deal with it after the matter is clarified. Xia Chengwu said, the only one in the entire court who is not afraid of offending Bai Yi is Xiahou Ye.

"Ministers seconded" and Xia Chengwu were in the same camp and immediately seconded.

"Weichen and the others think it's inappropriate. "Some people agree with it, and some people will oppose it, and those who oppose it are all from Bai Yi's camp, most of whom are civil officials; and some of the others who have not spoken out are some centrists, except for Bai Liqing, who is standing there as if he is asleep, it is entirely because he basically does not talk much in the court.

"Father, the sons think that Xiahou Ye's suggestion is inappropriate. Shangguan Xuri said. Although all the evidence pointing to Bai Yi in the situation, Shangguan Xuri still believed in Bai Yi in his heart, because he didn't want to be the first bird, but now there are so many people who are against it, and he is defenseless if he has more.

Erchen thinks so too. Shangguan Yunque said.

Seeing that the crown prince and Shangguan Zichen were interceding for Bai Yi one after another, thinking that if he was left unmoved, it would inevitably be that someone would associate the matter with him, Shangguan Yunque had no choice but to say to the emperor.

Shangguan Fengjin saw that several of his sons were helping Bai Yi to intercede, and there was inevitably suspicion in his heart, so he snorted coldly and ordered: "Come on, put Bai Yi in prison, seal off the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one will be allowed to visit until this matter is clarified." ”

"No..." Bai Yurong raised his head after hearing Shangguan Fengjin's decision and couldn't help shouting, opening his mouth as if to say something, but finally stopped.

Hearing Bai Yurong's voice, Shangguan Feng Jin noticed that there was a real poisoner here, so he also ordered Bai Yurong to be imprisoned, and by the way, Bai Yuxi was also imprisoned. When he saw Shangguan Fengjin and finally remembered Bai Yurong in the hall, Bai Yuxi felt that something was wrong, whether it was secretly wrong and couldn't say, that feeling was just a flash.

"Retreat from the dynasty," Shangguan Fengjin got up and left after speaking. Baili Qing also straightened up at this time, but he flicked his sleeves leisurely but was not ready to leave. Just when everyone was leaving, Shangguan Zichen looked at Baili Qing opposite, his eyes were full of questions, but he didn't want Bai Liqing to be summoned by his father in a moment.

"Lord Baili, the emperor asked the old slave to invite Lord Baili to the imperial study. "When Gonggong Song saw Baili Qing who was in the same place, he couldn't help but think that this Baili Lord was really a god, and every time His Majesty wanted to look for him, he would wait here.

"Well, I'm tired of Gonggong Song. Bai Liqing said and walked towards the imperial study, and when he left, he didn't forget to raise his eyebrows at Shangguan Zichen.

"You are tormenting the old slave, where will this be the trouble, it is clearly the honor of the old slave. Gonggong Song said after him.

"The emperor has summoned Lord Baili again, because it should be to discuss the matter of Prime Minister Bai. Watching Bailiqing leave, an official couldn't help but say.

"Yes, except for Prime Minister Baicheng, this Lord Baili is the emperor's most favored minister, and almost every time there is something difficult to solve, he summons Prime Minister Bai and Lord Baili. Another official said.

"Yes, I just don't know how this matter will be solved by Prime Minister Bai. ”

"It's hard to say this, no matter how much this matter happens to a petty official like us, it won't affect us much, but I don't think Bai Xiang is a person who can do this. Shangguan Yunque listened to the talk of the crowd, and his fingers gently rubbed the wrench on his thumb, and he couldn't see his eyes clearly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In the imperial study, as soon as Baili Qing walked in, Shangguan Fengjin waved his hand and ordered all the waiters in the room to go out.

"What does Baili Aiqing think about this?" Shangguan Fengjin said as he sat in front of the bookcase.

"Your Majesty, Baili thinks that the emperor himself knows better about this matter, Weichen..."

In the Tianchen Palace, although everyone thought that Shangguan Fengjin was very angry about Bai Yi's matter and would put Bai Yi in the prison, Baili Qing knew very well that this matter was discussed between Shangguan Fengjin and Bai Yi, so as to take the opportunity to clean up the court, but there was no discussion on how to let Bai Yi be imprisoned in the prison.

Originally, in the court, Shangguan Fengjin thought that this was Bai Yi's plan to clean up the court as he said before, but when he looked at Bai Yi, he saw that Bai Yi didn't know what was going on, so he knew that someone was probably framing him, but later, when he saw that all the evidence pointed to Bai Yi, he also had doubts in his heart.

"Bailiqing, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. ”

"Your Majesty, if the emperor thinks that Bai Xiang is innocent, Bai Xiang is naturally innocent. Bai Liqing saw that Shangguan Fengjin was angry, and immediately spoke.

"However, Weichen feels that this time is also a good thing, let Bai Xiang retreat, those people in the court will definitely make some moves, and when the time comes, Your Majesty can find out that those people are traitors and thieves. ”

Anyway, you have to do this, this is just right, you don't have to think of a good way by yourself, of course, Bailiqing is just thinking about it in his heart but he won't really say it.
