Because of the supervision of the rumor case, these days, Li Hui and Li Jing have been in and out of Dali Temple every day, diligently and diligently, never slacking off. Not only the Pu Wangfu and the Yue Wangfu, but even the ministers of the court have long been accustomed to seeing the two county kings coming and going on their way to and from the public office, and naturally feel that it is natural for them to stay in Dali Temple for a long time.

In addition, Dali Siqing strictly kept secrets, and covered up this case tightly, and even low-level officials were dismissed under the pretext of not knowing the inside story. Therefore, although the trial of the tribute fraud case has begun, except for a few courtiers who have already been involved, no one knows that the two county kings have been reduced from the ministers of the case to the people on trial—however, the well-informed Princess Changning is an exception.

The impeachment of the two overseers of the imperial history in the Shuowang Dynasty had reached her ears word for word, which was enough to make her angry. Subsequently, she sent someone to inquire again, but after hearing that the sage and the king of Yue were discussing secretly in the Liangyi Hall for a while, she summoned the three divisions and the right servant to shoot one after another. Immediately afterwards, the two overseers also disappeared into the Dali Temple.

Princess Changning is a smart person in Bingxue, and after a little thought, she guessed that /eight/nine/not far from ten, and felt more and more annoyed: "Grandpa and the father knew that the brothers had been wronged, why did they agree to file a case and let the brothers go to trial?" Doesn't that add to the arrogance of those two bastards? ”

"Yue Niang, don't worry, your grandfather must have his reason for acting." Empress Du leaned on the soft couch and persuaded softly. Since she gave birth to Princess Yong'an, she has been seriously ill and has not yet recovered, and she is almost nowhere to be seen in the palace on weekdays. As a result, there were many rumors that she was already terminally ill and almost unsightly. And the position of queen she lives in will sooner or later fall into the pocket of Concubine Yang Xian or Concubine Yuan Shu.

However, if someone who is quite knowledgeable about medicine takes a closer look at it at this time, he will find that Queen Du's complexion is not as weak as rumored. Although she was much thinner and looked a little weak, the calm bearing between her eyebrows was still there, and there was a thin layer of blood on her cheeks. After three years of careful recuperation, she has undoubtedly gradually recovered. Although he is still not as healthy as before, he is no longer a seriously ill person who can't even leave his bed.

"It sounds so ridiculous that they shouldn't have been ignored." Princess Changning was a little anxious, "Since you have paid attention to them, it is very likely that someone with a heart will interfere with them, and it will be difficult to calm the impact of this matter." Er knew what Grandpa was afraid of, but Er was even more worried about the reputation and safety of the two brothers...... No, you can't just wait, you have to do something. A-Niang, let Wanniang accompany you today, and you want to leave the palace. ”

Empress Du looked at her lovingly, and couldn't bear to stop her: "Go." However, when she saw the back of her eldest daughter leaving, she couldn't help but sigh lightly in her heart. Xu is desperate to protect her and her younger sister, and in the past few years, Changning's temperament has become more and more decisive and independent. Although I am a little impatient occasionally, it is just a lack of experience and a lack of tempering. How good would it be if she was a little gentleman? With the saint's love and appreciation for her, and as her eldest son, she will definitely be able to sit firmly in the East Palace.

But she is a strong little lady, a smart and stubborn princess. This child is really getting farther and farther away from the image of a noble girl in her mind. But this also can't blame her, maybe she shouldn't have forced her daughter with the upbringing of a family girl. As the daughter of the Son of Heaven, why should she abide by those inexplicable rules? But don't you let yourself live happily enough?

It's up to her. Thinking of this, Queen Du gently hooked the corners of her lips: she can have a smart and decisive daughter, an innocent and lovely daughter, and she is already very satisfied in this life. As for the ghosts and ghosts in the harem, let them be proud for this time. The bait that was released three years ago will sooner or later catch a lot of big fish. However, now is the time when the storm is coming, and she doesn't have to deliberately dirty her hands, just laugh and watch them fight for their heads and bleed.

What should belong to their mother and daughter, she will never give it to anyone. Those who don't belong to them, but are closely related to them, should also plan carefully. You can't always fall into a lonely situation in the future, so that it is difficult to move an inch—there is no one in your mother's family who can be used, and it is easy to attract attention if you promote them. As for the royal family, several nephews are all good children with affection and righteousness, and they must not be lost. And the horses, Chengguo Mansion and Yan Zhan, don't know if they can be relied on.

After Princess Changning dressed up as a man and left the palace, she immediately went to King Pu's mansion. Li Hui was not there, so she naturally pounced, but naturally ordered Zhang Fumu to send someone to summon the prince over. When Wang Zixian arrived in a hurry, she immediately informed him of the impeachment and the filing of the case: "Dali Temple is also investigating the two superintendent imperial histories, have you ever heard of any scribes looking for them two days ago?" Without further ado, these people must be investigated, otherwise it is easy to be manipulated and erased from the front and back. ”

"The matter of the scribe has already followed, and your lord can rest assured, no one can escape." Wang Zixian calmly replied, "As for supervising the imperial history, I will immediately let people investigate it." But—" he frowned, "I'm a little worried...... The official examiner is a foreign man. Since the two imperial historians dared to impeach the prince of the county, it must be more than absurd to seek fame. No matter how stupid and short-sighted they are, they can't fail to understand what kind of danger they are taking. "The reason for this matter is tied to the examiner Wailang, he is the most critical chess piece, almost a success or failure, I have to guard against it!

"You mean, they use the Wailang as the back-up of the official examiner? When everyone thought that they would definitely lose, Wai Lang, the examiner of the Ministry of Officials, came forward to testify and frame the two brothers...... "Princess Changning's apricot eyes widened," Who is so vicious? To put the two brothers in such a situation?! ”

“…… Who's going to do it? Supervising the imperial history and the examiners of the Ministry of Officials, Wai Lang has a low position, and it is naturally extremely cost-effective to give them up in exchange for two disgraced clan kings. What's more, one of these two county kings was born in the Pu Wangfu and the other was from the Yue Wangfu, which is obviously easier to separate the brotherhood of the Heavenly Family. And...... Aren't these two brothers the most trusted and relied on the most by your lord? Wang Zixian replied in a low voice.

Princess Changning was stunned and bit her red lips: "We are all powerless now, only by taking advantage of this time to completely extinguish my help, can they rest assured?" …… Oh, Yang family, Princess Anxing...... She actually asked Cheng Qing to follow the case?! What kind of elders are you pretending to be!! It's disgusting!! ”

"Your lord, now is not the time for indignation. You must do your best to contact the Yue Wangfu, and at the same time ask the eldest princess of Qinghe and the eldest princess of Linchuan to come forward. Wang Zixian continued, "I will have people hurry up to check on the merit officer Wailang, and be sure to keep as much as possible before they completely destroy the evidence." ”

He had also asked people to check the provincial test officer before, just to find out his preferences, and to make it easier to judge how to answer the provincial test before he could vote for his favor. At that time, it was just a quick check, and he got a lot of information - what did he ignore? Will it be possible to find it again? No, no matter whether he can find it or not, he must find it, and he must not let Xuan Qi make any mistakes!

Just as Xuan Qi protects him, he must not allow anyone to hurt him!

___________________________________________________________

At the same moment, in the main hall of the Dali Temple, the chief officials of the three divisions all looked at the summoned officials and examiners Wai Lang in shock, and they were almost stunned by his conclusive testimony. Yu Shi Zhongcheng couldn't help but ask again: "You mean, the letter and the post are indeed no different, but the king of Xin'an and the king of Tianshui met with you in private, and clearly mentioned that you should be asked to dedicate the prince to the first head?" ”

Wai Lang, the examiner of the Ministry of Officials, bowed his head lightly, revealing a look of guilt: "I dare not have anything to hide." In fact, Mou was reluctant to agree, but the king of Xin'an and the king of Tianshui ...... After all, they are all the kings of the county from the first grade, how can they ...... And how can you disobey? "He was a middle-aged man with gray hair, a clear and thin body, and he did not look like any official authority. When you make a tearful remorse, you can't help but feel compassion.

On the other hand, Li Hui and Li Jing are both young men with lofty instruments. No matter how gentle one looks at it, the other looks very straightforward, and they are all nobles, elegant and noble, awe-inspiring but not to be offended. Two strong and one weak, bullying the weak, it doesn't seem to be uncommon, doesn't it? What's more, the two county kings are still young, and it makes sense that they did such a thing on impulse.

"Nonsense!" Li Jing was immediately furious, "I've never seen you!" What did he threaten you to do?! You dare to slander our two brothers, it's really audacious!! ”

Li Hui also couldn't hide his anger, but his reaction was more calm than his cousin: "From beginning to end, I only asked people to send posts to you, and I have never met." Why do you want to make false accusations? We just recommended our friends out of love, and the letters and posts are all there, so why should we go to see you in person again? ”

"The king and the prince were in a relationship, and naturally they couldn't bear to let him fall into place, so they wanted to make him famous in Chang'an. What better way to make a name for yourself than to get the first place? The two superintendents added fuel to the fire, and sneered, "Even the examiner of the Ministry of Officials has testified, the witnesses and evidence are conclusive, what else do the two kings have to say?" ”

"Why should we admit what we have never done before?!" Li Jing looked back at them, and his anger burned even more, "You colluded with each other and intended to frame the clan king, you must have bad intentions!" Oh, what's in it for you to do this kind of false accusation?! There must be a messenger behind it! One or two, you can't let it go! It must be tortured to find out all those involved in this matter! ”

"With the talent of the prince, I never believed that he would not be the first to be the first, let alone that he would be the first." Li Hui frowned slightly, "Why do I have to do anything superfluous?" ”

"Whether this is superfluous or not, the king naturally knows it in his heart." Xu was forced to be speechless because of the situation, and the two superintendents were much sharper at this time, sneering, and doing everything.

Dali Siqing was about to reprimand them, and he should not be disrespectful to the two county kings. Yu Shi Zhongcheng and the Criminal Department Shangshu shook their heads at him in unison.

This case, which was originally absurd, suddenly became complicated because of the retort of the official examiner Wailang. This also shows that there are indeed people who stir up the storm and plot against it. If these guys who are called "witnesses" are actually "criminals" are not allowed to speak and debate proudly, I am afraid it will be difficult to get clues about overturning the case for the two county kings.

Now, there is only one time to wronged the two county kings.

At this time, a leisurely sentence suddenly came from outside the hall: "Oh, with the prince's ability, if he is not the first leader, the old man will suspect whether there is any fraud in the provincial examination of Jinshike!" The head of the armor is already in his bag, and he can get it by reaching out!! Since the king is his confidant, naturally he will not be unclear, and there is really no need to do anything superfluous!! ”
