After Shen Xi brought Shen Ye out of the Criminal Department, Shen Xi had already entered the palace that day to ask Emperor Tianhe for his guilt, although Emperor Tianhe had no other reaction, but just told him not to act like this next time, this matter was revealed to Emperor Tianhe, and he should not disclose this matter if he explained it, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention, when Emperor Tianhe issued a secret decree, someone had already told him about this matter, so this matter was only concealed for two days, and finally spread all over the government and the opposition, and some old ministers of the Ministry of Rites, There are also some officials who have doubts about Shen Xi's sudden appearance, but they seem to want to hold on to this matter, but in the past two days, the cabinet has been full of excerpts for the impeachment of the eldest prince.

And among these people, Gu Shangwei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, after this incident, he played three times a day, which was bound to make the prince Feng Xuan, who had no one in his eyes and no law in his eyes, be punished as he deserved.

"Your Majesty, the great prince regards the law as nothing, the prison is like a backyard, the prince's status is honorable, his moral character is noble, and he is an example for the world.

Gu Shang is over fifty years old, his physique is quite plump, with a drum-like belly that supports the waist of the official robe, he looks like he is smiling at everyone on weekdays, and he rarely has a strong time, but today he is so desperate to chase the eldest prince Feng Xuan, however, it is not so strange for the ministers to think that this is the second prince party on the surface.

Emperor Tianhe sat behind the dragon case, the eunuch Li Mao waited from the side, a corner of the imperial study was wafting with a faint fragrance of ambergris, Gu Shang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites below the dragon case, knelt on the ground, the book of the criminal department, Liu Wei, the left attendant of the military department, and Xie Jin, who had just been promoted to the secretary of the ministry.

The secretary of the criminal department put his hands into his sleeves, his nose and eyes looked at his heart, as if what the secretary of the Ministry of Rites said had nothing to do with their criminal department, and the squire of the military department had no right to speak in this matter, so the squire Liu Wei stood so casually, looking at his nose and eyes, and Xie Jin, the secretary of the ministry who had just taken office, also put his hands into his sleeves, and stared coldly at Gu Shang who was kneeling on the ground to complain, if his eyes could kill, maybe Gu Shang's back would have been full of holes, for no other reason, because Gu Shang is now suing his good son-in-law, suing his son-in-law, That's more unbearable than suing him!

Emperor Tianhe waved his hand to call Gu Shang to get up and speak, after Gu Shang stood up, his fat stomach went up and down, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat that was more than others, and stood solemnly, Xie Jin raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Tianhe, who was not happy and angry, behind the dragon case, and his heart was clear.

The emperor must have known what Gu Shang was doing, and had the intention to protect the eldest prince, so when Gu Shang sued, he found these people to listen to them, and the criminal department Shangshu equation is that the king of Rong'an County is a close friend, and the relationship between the prince of Rong'an County and Shen Xi is also obvious to all; Liu Wei, the squire of the military department, needless to say, was newly promoted before him, and he was also the person who was personally carried by Shen Xi after he became the eldest prince; As for him...... Hehe, that's his son-in-law! Looking for these people to listen to the complaint of the Ministry of Rites, what is the emperor's mind, who can not know.

Emperor Tianhe's face was expressionless, his brows frowned slightly, as if he was digesting Gu Shang's words before, and after a long time, he glanced at Xie Jin and said:

"This thing...... Aiqing, what do you think? ”

“……”

Tianhe Emperor asked this sentence, and all the ministers in the Yuanyang Palace had a plan in their hearts, and the emperor listened to the words of the Ministry of Rites, and did not inquire in depth, and when he opened his mouth to ask, it turned out to be Lord Xie Jin Xie, who did not know the relationship between Lord Xie and the eldest prince of the Manchu Dynasty, that is the relationship between Taishan and his son-in-law of the authentic sect, to say a big disrespectful word, if the prince has the opportunity to ascend to the great treasure in the future, Lord Xie is the national abbot!

The emperor didn't pick anyone, but he picked Lord Xie to ask, isn't this clear enough?

Gu Shang's heart was full of joy, he still seemed to underestimate the status of the eldest prince in the emperor's heart, he took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve, Gu Shang pretended to be calm and wiped the sweat beads on his head, without showing too much cowardice on the surface.

Even if he can't sue the eldest prince this time, at least he can give the emperor a wake-up call, so that he and the eldest prince have a dislike, and it will be easier for people to believe what he wants to do in the future. What's more, he is really not optimistic about the eldest prince, how can a wild man who is not unknown compare to the orthodox second prince Feng Yu? Even if it is more powerful than the mother's family, it can't be compared, so these people think that they just have to fall on the thigh of the eldest prince, and in the end, there is a time when they cry.

Xie Jin glanced at Gu Shang, who had a look of contempt on his face, walked out of the line, came to Gu Shang's side, saluted Emperor Tianhe, and then said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Gu said is not the truth." Since the emperor asked him to protect him, what else could he be polite about? If you dare to sue his son-in-law, don't blame him for speaking mercilessly.

As soon as Gu Shang heard Xie Jin's words, a sneer overflowed his lips, and he said in his heart, You who have just taken office for a long time dare to say these words that question him so unashamedly, and he was just about to open his mouth to mock two sentences, but he listened to the final word of the Emperor Tianhe and said:

"How is it not a fact? Aiqing and I will listen to it. ”

Xie Jin looked at Emperor Tianhe with a look of 'Aiqing, you say, I will call the shots for you', and his heart was even more relieved, and he said those words that squeezed Gu Shang unscrupulously.

"Yes. The emperor allowed his ministers to report. Master Gu said that the eldest prince regarded the law as nothing, and the prison was like a backyard, this matter was originally subject to negotiation, why did the eldest prince lead Shen Ye out of the Criminal Department, who knows what is behind this? Maybe Dingguo Gong Shen Ye was just involved in some case, and after explaining it clearly, he would be able to leave the prison of the Criminal Department, and the eldest prince might just go to pick him up and take him back to his house. Originally, everyone knew this kind of thing, but Lord Gu wanted to take it out and talk about it, but you also know that the eldest prince is a prince, with an honorable status and a noble character, but Lord Gu actually said those words accusing the eldest prince when he committed the following crimes, it can be seen that Lord Gu only respects the eldest prince on the lips, and has no respect from his heart, so framed, so contemptuous of the prince, how can the minister agree with a person like Lord Gu? ”

Xie Jin's words can be described as heart-wrenching, not to mention the other people in the Yuanyang Hall who were stunned by him, even the Emperor of Heaven and Emperor himself, he had to sigh in his heart, talent.

Although everyone knew that Xie Jin was the eldest father-in-law of the eldest prince, no one expected him to be so bold, let alone save face for Gu Shang, he had already uncovered Gu Shang's skin several times.

The kung fu of reversing black and white has to be convincing. used the original Gu Shang's words to sue the eldest prince Feng Xuan, and turned it into his attack blade, and Gu Shangjie, who was killed, retreated, and one of the best things is that the matter of Shen Ye, the Duke of Dingguo, although he was arrested and put in prison by the Criminal Department, but why he was arrested is still a mystery, everyone just knows that Shen Ye was arrested by the emperor's decree, but the charges were not announced, so what Xie Jin said is not unsubstantiated.

And because Gu Shang is the second prince's party, he still has some understanding of why Shen Ye, the Duke of Dingguo, was arrested, because he was sure of Shen Ye's crime, so he took out this point and accused the eldest prince of Feng Xuan, but he didn't calculate that the eldest prince would have such a scruples father-in-law, and unconsciously, this person had also been promoted to the position of the secretary of the ministry, although he was newly promoted, he could be regarded as equal to him in terms of grade, even if he had the intention to take some shelves out, but he could face a strong level official, can't be as casual as treating his subordinates, what's more, Xie Jin said these words, obviously instructed the emperor, no matter how stupid he is, he can't see what the emperor means.

But it was not his Gu Shang's style to retreat like this, so he took a step forward, straightened his waist, protruded his stomach, and said to Emperor Tianhe:

"Your Majesty, Lord Xie said that he wanted to trap the minister in injustice, he clearly knew that the minister had no intention of despising the prince, but there was no excuse for the crime he wanted to add, and the minister said what he thought in his heart, it was also for the sake of the society and the stability of the imperial power, but Lord Xie slandered him like this and refused to accept it!"

Gu Shang said and knelt down again, Xie Jin looked at his fat body up and down, he felt tired for him, glanced at Emperor Tianhe, and saw that he didn't mean to answer Gu Shang's words, so he boldly stepped forward and continued:

"Master Gu said that I wronged you, but what evidence is there? Which of my words is wrong, even if you say it and let Banzai decide, you kneel and kowtow like this, is it possible that you want the emperor to soften his heart and blame me for the fault? ”

Gu Shang stared at Xie Jin with an angry face, the hatred in his eyes was very strong, but because of the presence of Emperor Tianhe, he couldn't do it, so he had to endure the appearance of suffering a loss, and pretended to be well-behaved in front of Emperor Tianhe.

The messenger eunuch outside trotted in to pass the word to Li Mao, and when Li Mao heard about it, he nodded and asked the little eunuch to go down, and then went to the side of Emperor Tianhe and whispered: "Your Majesty, Lord Fu asks to see you." ”

Emperor Tianhe glanced at Li Mao, and displeasure flashed in his eyes, Fu Yu Mintang was the ancestor of the second prince, and now that he came, it was Sima Zhao's heart. It is conceivable that the rebellion against Feng Xuan among the courtiers during this period of time is only inseparable from this Fu Lord.

Surprise flashed in Xie Jin's eyes, and a smile appeared on Gu Shang's face, and this smile was even more dazzling in the eyes of Emperor Tianhe, but he sat back behind the dragon case quietly, and said in a deep voice:

"Xuan."

Li Mao went to pass the decree, and soon after, Lord Fu Yu strode in, Yu Mintang is more than sixty years old this year, not like a civil servant, but like a military general, walking like the wind, talking like a bell, giving people a sense of vigorous and resolute action. His daughter is Concubine Yu, who gave birth to the former eldest prince and now the second prince Feng Yu, if there is anyone in this world who hates Feng Xuan's appearance more than Feng Yu himself, it should be the one in front of him.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Feng Xuan, his grandson would occupy the position of the eldest son, and he has always established the king, and he is the eldest son, and the current queen has not given birth to a prince, so the word eldest is an insurmountable gap, a small difference, and a thousand miles of error.

Therefore, in the heart of Lord Yu, it is the current prince Feng Xuan, who ruined his grandson's opportunity with one hand and his Yu family's chance to rise to prominence with the other, where is there any reason not to hate Shen Xi.
