191 She did it
In the imperial study, the emperor went to the court to sit in front of the court in the morning to review the folds.
"Fang Guifei's. ”
"Arson. ”
"It's still Fang Guifei's. ”
The emperor suddenly threw the fold on the table and said, "They all require strict investigation of the fire in the Jiaotai Palace." ”
There was only Da Liu's father-in-law in the house, and he wouldn't think that the emperor was talking to himself.
When sesame oil was found in the Jiaotai Palace, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't sit still, and they all said that they would find out.
Liu Gong said fairly: "Hasn't the Holy Lord already been handed over to the three divisions for trial?"
The corner of the emperor's mouth was raised, and he snorted coldly: "This kind of thing is really lawless, and it is difficult for anyone to eliminate the hatred in my heart." Then he asked, "Who did you say set the fire in Jiaotai Palace? Did Fang Guifei want to murder Yan Yan, or did Yan Yan frame Fang Guifei?"
Because the suspect was caught, the suspect confessed that he was instigated by Fang Guifei, but Fang Guifei said that she had been thinking about it behind closed doors, and it was impossible to send someone to set it on fire, and the suspect was from Jiaotai Palace, so Fang Guifei insisted that it was the eldest prince who framed her.
This kind of thing that has never been tried by the three divisions, Liu Gonggong bent down and stood cautiously: "The old slave didn't dare to say it." ”
"If you say it, you say it. ”
Liu Gonggong said: "Judging from the prisoners caught, it is the concubine Niangniang." He raised his head and said, "But at this time, the concubine will be very anxious to do this, she won't be so confused, right?"
The emperor sneered: "What do you think" sighed silently You, her concubine, she is so stupid, the more you think it is impossible, she often does it.
Da Liu's father-in-law is a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, and he understands when he sees the emperor's rhetorical question. I was speechless.
The four princes on the other side of Chunxi Palace knew about the fire in Jiaotai Hall last night, and it was when he went to find Lin Xiaojue. Before anyone could wait, he was found back by Qijiu.
Now Fang Guifei is the biggest suspect, if the charges are confirmed. His four princes could not escape the charge of killing his brother.
Early in the morning, I heard that the emperor ordered the three divisions to be tried, and the four princes were anxiously pacing back and forth in the house.
Shuangxi and Qijiu were busy persuading him, and Qijiu said: "The concubine Niangniang has been grounded, and those minions slandered her, as long as the concubine doesn't admit it, the three divisions will be fine." ”
Shuangxi also said: "And the triage of the three divisions is to see which yamen is strong, and the case will go in which way, Dali Siqing is upright, and the inspectorate is all pedantry." But there is also the Criminal Department, and Lord Lu of the Criminal Department was pulled up by Guogong. ”
The four princes also knew that the three divisions would be tried, but the emperor didn't want people to know the truth, and the three places were tried together, each holding its own word, which was better than having the final say.
He wasn't worried about this, he said: "I'm not worried about whether the adults of the three divisions will believe it or not, I'm worried that my father and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will think that it was the mother concubine who did it, and once people are suspicious, someone will push it on me." "Lichu is a stain.
Qijiu said: "No." Now is the time on the cusp, isn't it too conspicuous for the concubine to do this? Who would do that?"
The fourth prince said in his heart, others know that he can't hurt the enemy at this juncture, but now that person is his mother. Who is her mother? Fang Jinglong's sister, what can't she do?
He patted his head and couldn't think of a solution.
This is a little eunuch to pass the message: "Your Highness, there is an adult surnamed Gao who has asked to see His Highness." The servants saw that he was an adult in the outer temple. ”
That is, the people of their Chunxi Palace.
The fourth prince's eyes lit up: "It's towering, let him in." ”
The little eunuch saluted and went out. Qijiu said: "His Highness admires this person very much?"
"A bit of wisdom. The fourth prince nodded, and then he said, "That's right." Go and find out what he is, and keep it secret. ”
Qijiu said yes and immediately went out.
When the tower arrived, the four princes were already sitting on the main seat, drinking tea and waiting for him?
He walked to the hall and bowed: "Your Highness." ”
The fourth prince waved his hand: "Excuse me." And he said, "It's not very good." ”
Gao Xuan raised his head and said with a smile: "Wei Chen also wants to know that His Highness is not very good now, so he specially came to see His Highness." ”
The fourth prince said, "You're here to see my joke?" said this, but he didn't feel angry.
Towering smiled without saying a word.
The fourth prince put down the tea bowl: "Don't beat around the bush, you should have heard about the fire in the Jiaotai Palace, right?" ”
"Wechen doesn't dare to draw conclusions now, Wechen has a request, I want to see the palace maid who set the fire. ”
Arson in the Jiaotai Hall is a capital crime, and the palace maid has now been imprisoned by the Criminal Department, and relevant people are not allowed to visit.
The fourth prince groaned and said, "After seeing her, you have a way?"
Gao Towering said: "The way is for people to come up with, I don't know if it will work if I haven't tried it, Weichen just has a doubt, although the Jiaotai Hall is cold and remote, but there are still a few guards, how can the palace maid be so easy to get it?"
The eyes of the four princes widened, yes, Lan Junyuan had been transferred to Jingyang Palace to accompany the eldest emperor's grandson, why did he appear in the Jiaotai Palace?
"You mean the mother was taken advantage of?"
Towering stood there noncommittal.
The fourth prince immediately asked Shuangxi to serve him tea and invited him to a seat.
Towering is not shirked.
After sitting down, the fourth prince said, "How long has the adult been here on an errand?"
Gao said: "It's been a year and a half. ”
After a year and a half, such a talent didn't find out, and let the family be a small clerk, and the fourth prince was stunned: "I have been tortured by illness all these years, and I have been looking for medical advice, and I have no energy to take care of things in the palace, and I have wronged the tall man." ”
Gao Xuan smiled lightly: "No." "And then it's over.
The fourth prince couldn't figure out what this person wanted, and thought about it again, since he could come to offer advice at this time, he had a plan.
He said: "What do adults need, you might as well say it directly, I have always liked talents, as long as the adults are sincere in helping this prince, this prince will never be stingy with meritorious ministers." ”
At this time, Shuangxi brought tea and put it on the table in front of him: "My lord, please." ”
Gao Gao looked at the light tender green juice in the bowl and smiled, "It is good tea when you smell it." ”
"His Royal Highness prefers Lu'an melon slices, ten days before the rain, vegetable tea, vegetables two and three leaves, strong but not tender. Shuangxi said: "It's not like a Longjing Biluo, does it fit your appetite?"
Gao Gao picked up the tea and said: "Weichen's family is barren, and there is no flower tea, His Royal Highness gives such a superb tea, and Weichen is really difficult to get used to drinking for a while." Saying that, he took a sip: "But the tea is fragrant around the tongue, and the aftertaste is endless, Weichen will let himself get used to it." ”
When the fourth prince heard this, he knew that he intended to take refuge, as if he was looking for money, and said with a smile: "I don't know who is in my family, where do you live?"
Gao Towering said: "Weichen has no relatives in the family, I don't know who my parents are since I was a child, I was adopted by my adoptive parents, and then my adoptive parents also died, and now there is only one Weichen in the family, one person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, the residence is rented, and there is nothing to mention."
