The officials had sharp eyes, and they could see at a glance that Ling Guogong was shirking his responsibility.

"Ling Guogong, as a first-class grandfather, you can't even figure out the affairs of the back house, your wife actually bought a murderer, and the person who killed was still a dignified relative, you obviously didn't take Your Majesty in your eyes. ”

This is a big problem, Ling Guogong hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The minister is wronged, Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to Your Majesty, and there is no second heart." ”

Assassinating the emperor's relatives and despising the royal family, this crime is too big, and Ling Guogong really can't afford it. Ling Guogong secretly complained in his heart, the official who impeached him was none other than his opponent, Shangshu and Wang Shangshu.

"Wang Shangshu, you and I have a slight dispute over political opinions, and we have always been at odds, but you must not detain such charges on my head. ”

"Ling Guogong, don't change the topic, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, even if we have different political opinions, but we are all working for Your Majesty, how can the lower officials be the kind of people who fall into the well. Wang Shangshu didn't miss the plan, his words were conclusive, reasonable.

"It's Ling Guogong, it's obvious that your wife bought the murderer and killed Princess Anding and Ling Juma and his wife, as a husband, don't you have no responsibility? Princess Anding is Your Majesty's sister, and Ling Juma is also His Majesty's minister, the Zhao family actually killed the killer, isn't this contempt for the royal family?"

Ling Guo's face turned blue with anger, and what Wang Shangshu said was awe-inspiring and righteous, but in fact, he didn't take the opportunity to fall into the ground.

"Wang Shangshu, I am loyal to Your Majesty, how can I ever be disrespectful to Your Majesty, the Zhao family has indeed done something wrong, but Wang Shangshu, you can't help but exaggerate. Ling Guogong glared at Wang Shangshu fiercely.

"When Ling Guogong said this, did he want to shirk his responsibility?" Wang Shangshu didn't pay any attention to his glare, but instead knelt down towards Emperor Xiqin, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the Duchess of Ling Guo Zhao is so bold that she dared to buy a murderer to kill Princess Anding and Ling Juma, her crime cannot be punished, and Ling Guogong, as a husband, cannot escape his responsibility, and please ask Your Majesty to also settle the princess and Ling Fuma to do justice." ”

The minister seconded. ”

The minister seconded. ”

……

Many ministers seconded the proposal, Ling Guogong, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to the ministers who seconded the proposal, his heart beat faster and faster, his back was wet with sweat, and no one interceded for him, fear hit his heart, he didn't know what was waiting for him.

Although many ministers seconded the proposal to severely punish Ling Guogong, the people on the dragon chair did not say a word, and the ministers knelt on the ground, unable to figure out the thoughts of Emperor Xiqin.

Shang Bangbai, who was standing at the head of the hundred officials, quietly glanced behind him, although many courtiers seconded the proposal to punish Ling Guogong heavily, but it did not mean that everyone stood up, Ling Guogong would not be severely punished, and finally looked at the meaning of the person above, but obviously he couldn't see the meaning of Emperor Xiqin now.

Because they couldn't figure out the meaning of Emperor Xiqin, most of the officials stood in place and remained silent, including the crown prince and the second prince. They are princes, and they will not express their stance easily, if Emperor Western Qin does not plan to punish Ling Guogong heavily, but they stand up and ask for a heavy punishment, wouldn't they be working against Emperor Western Qin?

The corners of Shang Wan's white lips were slightly hooked, whether to punish Ling Guogong or not, it made no difference to Emperor Western Qin, the reason why Emperor Western Qin was still silent now was to use this matter to test the two princes.

"Prince, what do you think?" the majestic voice of Emperor Xiqin came from above.

Emperor Xiqin's voice was as usual, but the prince desperately wanted to probe his mind from his tone, whether to punish or not to punish?

"Erchen thinks it......" The prince raised his eyes to look at Emperor Xiqin, only to see that his eyes were cold, and he seemed to have some signs of anger.

Yes, this large group of courtiers knelt on the ground and begged His Majesty to punish Ling Guogong heavily, without considering the thoughts of the Dao monarch at all, and knelt down in the dark, isn't this just forcing Emperor Xiqin to make a decision.

Emperor Xiqin should not like it.

"Back to his father, the son thinks that the Zhao family has subdued the law, and all the things are done by her alone, although the Zhao family is the wife of Ling Guogong, but Ling Guogong has no idea, and those who do not know are not guilty, and Ling Yuma is the younger brother of Ling Guogong's mother, and he is also a relative of the victim. ”

"Prince, do you really think so?" Emperor Xiqin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was still flat, and he couldn't tell his joy and anger.

The crown prince suddenly became a little nervous, could he have guessed wrong, and after thinking about it, if he really guessed wrong, his father would have been furious.

"Yes, Erchen thinks ......"

Before the prince could praise a few more words, Emperor Xiqin spoke again: "Second brother, what do you think?"

Emperor Xiqin's eyes fell on the second prince, and the prince's face sank, what does his father mean by this, he is the prince, and he is the one who assists his father in dealing with the affairs of the court.

The second prince, Qin Jingzhong, stepped forward calmly, bowed and replied: "Father, the son thinks that the state has national laws and family rules, and the merits are determined by their own laws. Aunt Anding is the royal family, but Ling Yuma is also the younger brother of Ling Guogong, and the blood is entangled, which is really difficult, since this is the case, why not leave it to the law. ”

The corners of Shang Wan's white lips curled slightly, but the second prince is much more flexible than the prince, and the prince said a lot of sycophants, but he can't resist the second prince's sentence "Blood entanglement, it's really embarrassing". Things have come to this point, if Emperor Xiqin does not punish him, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, and the queen mother in the palace will also complain about His Majesty, but if it is punished, the people of Ling Guogong's line will inevitably be resentful.

No matter what the Western Qin Emperor did, he couldn't be perfect, and the best way was to have a reason to gag everyone's mouths, and the second prince happened to give a good reason - the law. The law was set by Emperor Taizu, the founding emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty, and no one dared to question it.

Sure enough, Emperor Xiqin's face, which was originally unable to see joy and anger, gradually slowed down, and bowed slightly: "The emperor is reasonable, you are kneeling one by one, it is clear that you are giving me a problem." ”

All the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers know their mistakes." ”

The crown prince knelt at the front, secretly hating in his heart, why didn't he think of this, he made Qin Jingzhong good in vain, and he was also annoyed by Emperor Xiqin. He obviously felt that the gaze of the Western Qin Emperor above skimmed in front of him, which was probably disappointment.

"Master Cui. ”

"Wechen is here. Master Cui bowed his head and saluted.

"Zhao's case is tried by you, who should be punished and how, you act according to the law, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Obey. ”

"Retreat. Emperor Xiqin waved his hand and got up to leave first.

Only then did the crown prince stand up, walk up to the second prince, and said coldly: "The second emperor brother is really smart. ”

The second prince replied lightly: "The royal brother has won the award." ”

"Hmph!" the prince brushed his sleeves away, who praised him......

Before Shang Bangbai walked out of the Jinluan Palace, he saw a small eunuch running over and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister Shang, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study." ”

Shang Wan's white eyebrows raised slightly: "Let's go." Apparently he was not surprised that Emperor Western Qin would see him alone.

The Imperial Study

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty. ”

"Flatten. Emperor Xiqin waved his hand. "I called you here to hear what you think. ”

Shang Wanbai smiled lightly: "I don't know what Your Majesty said? Is it Ling Guogong or Ling Yuma's bloody case." ”

"Bang Bai, you really know what I mean. Emperor Xiqin rubbed his eyebrows, "The Zhao family is just a mere woman in the back house, and it is not so easy to unknowingly take out 100,000 taels of silver to buy murder." ”

"And the reason for Zhao's murder is too far-fetched, because he is jealous of Princess Anding, so he wants to risk cutting off his head to kill the princess and his wife? Is Your Majesty hesitating to find out the truth?" Shang Wanbai's tone was calm and unhurried.

"What does Aiqing think?"

Shang Wanbai shook his head: "Weichen remembers that when the princess and the concubine died ten years ago, His Majesty sent a large number of people to investigate this case, and finally closed the case with a rogue's murder. Ten years ago, I could only get this result, and ten years later, I found out that Zhao had indeed bought murder, and now Zhao committed suicide in prison, and the subordinates who served beside her also died, doesn't Your Majesty think there is something strange about this?"

"Oh, Bangbai, do you mean, someone did it on purpose?" Emperor Xiqin's gaze sank slightly. Such a thing could happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which made him lose face, and this was the real provocation of Tianwei.

"Your Majesty, if the minister's inference is not wrong, then the intentions of the person behind it are really sinister. Your Majesty thinks about it, why the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who did not kill, but it was Ling Yuma, at that time Ling Yuma had just officially taken over the position of the commander of Southern Xinjiang, and was about to dare to go to Southern Xinjiang to pacify the border passes, someone did it at that time, and the ultimate goal of the minister was actually Your Majesty, which was the country of Western Qin. ”

"He dare!" Emperor Xiqin roared angrily, someone dared to snatch his country, he was tired of it!

Shang Wanbai bowed and said, "Your Majesty is angry, this is also a slight speculation, there is no evidence at present, and it cannot be confirmed." ”

However, Emperor Xiqin's mind firmly remembered that the target was the country of Western Qin, whether there was evidence or not, he had already determined that the person behind it had sinister intentions, and of course he couldn't let it go.

"Bang Bai, I order you to secretly find out the truth, and you must find out the real murderer. Emperor Xiqin's face was slightly gloomy, and he couldn't sleep well if he didn't find that person.

"Obey. ”

"Bang Bai, you are the only one who knows my mind best. Emperor Xiqin sighed lightly.

"Weichen didn't dare to speculate on the holy will, the minister was just telling the truth. Shang Wanbai replied humbly.

Emperor Xiqin smiled and waved his hand: "I am also telling the truth, you don't need to panic, I know your loyalty." Calling you here today, there is one more thing, do you think the crown prince and the second prince are higher or lower?"

Sure enough, Shang Wanbai did not guess wrong, today's court affairs are clearly a test for the crown prince and the second prince.
