167. Confrontation

When Minglan received the news, they were staying in the palace, and there was a seemingly never-ending argument going on here.

"Prime Minister Ming, the emperor died, why do you have to hide such a big event from me!?"

"yes, if I hadn't waited here day and night and noticed something unusual, how long would you have wanted to hide it!?"

"Isn't Prime Minister Ming's actions ill-intentioned!?"

Above the Golden Palace, the officials have different opinions, and the posture of you and me asking questions seems to be eager to strangle the people on the stage to death in the next second. And Ming Lan, who was on the cusp of the storm, didn't feel the surging murderous aura at all, and the old god was still standing next to the dragon chair, looking indifferently at the people below with a pair of lazy eyes forever, and the whole person was like an otherworldly monk who escaped into the empty door.

Mingjue was completely out of the way, watching Minglan being attacked madly with a relaxed face, and the corners of his faintly twitching mouth were about to hide his smug smile.

He wants to see, this time, how else does Minglan plan to get out?

"Wow!" the sound of a sharp weapon rubbing suddenly sounded, and the gossiping civil and military officials couldn't say a word as if they had been forcibly pulled out of their tongues. The people who had fought the most fiercely before were even more frightened and took several steps back, looking at the high-speed spinning and heavy golden silk fan with a frightened expression.

As soon as the golden silk fan was opened, it was sharp, and it spun around in a circle among several people, and then flew back into Ming Lan's hands. Ming Lan shook the fan in her hand leisurely, and watched the group of people honestly close their mouths with satisfaction.

This group of fools who saw the wind and steered the rudder made his head hurt.

"Speak to me while I'm in a good mood, otherwise, you know the consequences. Ming Lan lazily looked at the people below, playing with the folding fan in his hand for a while.

The temple was as quiet as a chicken.

Mingjue glanced at the trembling hundred officials, and secretly cursed in his heart, these fools who have no guts!

Just as he wanted to take the lead in saying something, an old man suddenly walked out of the back of the crowd, he looked at Ming Lan on the stage with a calm face, and his voice was still calm and powerful, "Prime Minister Ming, Emperor Ming's death is not a trivial matter, if you know the inside story, please let us know." ”

Seeing that it was he who spoke, the hall was even more silent.

Even Minglan gradually put away the scattered expression on her face, walked up to the old man from the stage step by step, and said calmly: "Lord Shen, I can explain that it is your business to believe it or not." I really don't know about the death of Emperor Ming, as for why I hid it from everyone, I just don't want to leak the news, the death of the lord of a country, saying it will cause a lot of turmoil, and I wanted to wait for the matter to be thoroughly investigated before announcing it, but I didn't expect it to be spread in advance. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone subconsciously looked at Mingjue, who was standing at the forefront.

Mingjue's heart trembled, and he forced a smile and asked, "Why are you looking at the main hall?"

Ming Lan chuckled, and his indifferent but sharp eyes locked on him for a moment, "I don't know anything about my appearance, and I want to ask His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

Mingjue's eyes sank, and he pretended to be calm and responded, "What?"

"Everyone in the world knows my Ming Lan's methods, why did His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince know the news that I had worked so hard to get down my blood pressure as soon as possible, and also took the opportunity to spread it to cause chaos in the imperial court and make the people of Ming Kingdom panic?" Ming Lan looked at him meaninglessly, and his slow tone revealed a frightening chill.

Everyone's eyes changed, and Mingjue suppressed the fear in his heart, and directly retorted: "Obviously, you want to cover it, and your father and emperor don't see anyone in the early dynasty, but everyone will notice the abnormality, right?" Seeing the doubts flashing on everyone's faces, his heart became more stable, and his eyes were a little fiercer, "Prime Minister Ming can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the Ming Kingdom, and everyone says that although the country has a monarch, it is you Minglan who really holds the real power!

Indeed, with Ming Lan's means and the forces behind him, it is not too much to say that he is in charge of the Ming Kingdom, he just needs to really sit on the dragon chair. Because of this, many gambling houses in the folk are happy with this, and from time to time they bet on when Ming Lan will overthrow the inactive Ming Emperor and sit on the throne of God, but unfortunately, Ming Lan has a tough heart, and he has not sought to usurp the throne until now, but ...... Given his status in the Ming Kingdom, it seems that it doesn't matter if he is an emperor or not.

To a certain extent, it can be said that as soon as Emperor Ming died, the biggest beneficiary was naturally Ming Lan.

Who would have thought that Ming Lan snorted coldly, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince underestimates his true appearance, and the emperor's position is still disdainful." ”

"You ——"

The old man from before spoke up again: "Prime Minister Ming, have you found out what happened?"

Ming Lan responded casually, and said with a faint smile: "If you find the murderer, does it count?"

Amazing!

The old man was also shocked and asked, "Who is the prime minister?"

Ming Lan shrugged her shoulders and pointed her finger to the side, "It's a pity, it's our Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

The people in the hall can no longer describe the complex emotions in their hearts with shock, the person who killed Emperor Ming turned out to be the fourth prince!?

The four princes also had various accusations that Ming Lan murdered Emperor Ming with the intention of usurping the throne, and Ming Lan has always been the image of a high-ranking master, so they will follow suit, after all, compared to Ming Lan, who has an uncertain temperament and ruthless means, the four princes with pure blood are more worthy of follow.

As a result, he now told them that the real murderer was the fourth prince, and he was doing something!

Mingjue panicked in his heart, and retorted loudly: "Minglan, what nonsense are you talking about! The method of planting blame is too bad, right?!"

Minglan only smiled silently.

The old man glanced at Mingjue, whose eyes were flustered, and seemed to know something in his heart. He looked at Ming Lan with a pale face again, and continued to ask: "Does the prime minister have any evidence? Slandering people in the royal family is not a small crime. ”

Ming Lan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Naturally, there is evidence, and the appearance is not stupid." ”

As if to verify his words, there was a sudden noise outside the temple gate, and then several soldiers escorted two people in, and then saluted Ming Lan in the center of the hall, "Prime Minister, the prisoner has been brought." ”

Ming Lan nodded, then looked at Ming Jue, whose face changed instantaneously, and the smile in his eyes couldn't help but deepen a little, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, you should be familiar with these two people, right?"

Is it more than familiarity?

These two people, one is the chief manager of the Four Princes' Mansion, who is in charge of the affairs of the palace, and the other is the close guard of the Four Princes, who is superb in martial arts, and it is because of him that those who want to assassinate the Four Princes have never succeeded. Now that these two people are together, is it possible?

Mingjue's face turned pale, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble. As soon as he saw these two people, he knew that Minglan must have found something. Although he didn't know how he caught these two people, he still pretended to be calm and wanted to turn the tables, "Minglan, you want to convict me just because of these two people, it's too hasty, right?"

Minglan smiled lightly and asked, "Aren't you curious why they are in my hands, and why they are here to testify against your father's murder?"

Mingjue was stunned.
