After the morning of this day, the emperor wanted to go for a walk in the garden, and Gonggong Zhang, the palace maids, and the brocade guards followed him to the Ten Thousand Gardens. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that the emperor was in good spirits this morning, Gonggong Zhang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the slave heard that five of the top ten mysterious cases in the country have been solved. ”

The emperor didn't know what he meant by suddenly asking, so he replied lightly: "Hmm." ”

These cases were specially ordered by the emperor to focus on the investigation of Wen Zhidong, the secretary of Dali Temple, and the people who assisted Wen Zhidong in the investigation were Li Yuan and Shen Zhu.

Of course, the prince secretly gave a lot of help in this process.

Zhang Gonggong then continued: "In just one year, five difficult and serious cases that have been backlogged for many years have been solved, and Dali Siqing and his two subordinates are really amazing. ”

The emperor stood abruptly, turned his head to look at him and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Father-in-law Zhang seems to be a big man, but he is actually very smart, and the emperor knows that he will not mention this matter for no reason.

Indeed, Gonggong Zhang was entrusted by the crown prince and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Miyazawa Zhe, to talk to the emperor about this matter.

Both the crown prince and Miyazawa Tetsu knew that Gonggong Zhang could cleverly say things to the point, and he was very good at reasoning, so they entrusted this matter to him. Anyway, there is no other way at the moment, so let Grandpa Zhang give it a try.

Seeing that the emperor was suspicious, Gonggong Zhang hurriedly said: "That Master Li Yuan Li of Dali Temple is indeed a rare expert in investigating cases, and now there are still five unsolved cases in the country, and it is not wise to put him to death at this time." ”

The emperor paused, and then spoke: "The mistake he has made is so serious, it must not be taken lightly. ”

Gonggong Zhang hurriedly followed the emperor's meaning and said: "That's right, Your Majesty has no problem with his punishment at all, but Your Majesty, since he is still useful, why not make the best use of it before disposing of it?" ”

The emperor immediately understood what he meant, frowned, and said, "Do you want me to leave his life first to complete the investigation of these five cases?" ”

Gonggong Zhang immediately smiled and nodded: "Exactly, Your Majesty is wise." ”

The emperor was silent.

Gonggong Zhang took advantage of the situation and said: "This Lord Li doesn't seem to be a slippery person, if Your Majesty is willing to delay his execution, he will naturally be grateful to you, and at that time, he will definitely be extra careful when investigating the case." ”

The emperor chuckled, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this may not be." A person who knows that he is going to die horizontally, and still wants him to work hard? ”

Gonggong Zhang also smiled and said, "If it is someone else, the slave will not believe it, but when this matter is put on Lord Li's body, the slave will believe it." ”

The emperor smiled and continued to walk.

Father-in-law Zhang knew that he was thinking about it, so he didn't say more, but just followed step by step.

The next morning, the emperor took the initiative to talk about this matter and announced that because of Li Yuan's meritorious work in solving the case, he decided to postpone Li Yuan's death sentence for one year, and let him assist Wen Zhidong, the secretary of Dali Temple, in investigating the remaining five doubtful cases within this year.

The audience was in an uproar, but soon everyone realized that this was a very wise decision, so they all came out to praise the emperor's wisdom.

The emperor added: "Although the death penalty can be suspended, it cannot be unpunished at the moment, so give him a hundred rods first." ”

The crowd did not dare to raise objections.

A hundred rods is also a very heavy punishment, and many people whine and lament when they are roded fifty boards, let alone a hundred boards.

As a result, Li Yuan was told that he would carry out the sentence of 100 rods in the afternoon of the next three days, and that he would not be allowed to leave the capital for the next year.

Soon, his ban was sent to the guards at the various exits of the capital. He became the one they focused on.

After receiving this notice, Li Yuan knelt down towards the imperial city and kowtowed respectfully three times.

Life is too short, seize the day. There's a lot to do in a year.

Li Yuan was both grateful and excited, and refused to get up for a long time.

In the evening, the news was transmitted by the crown prince to Wen Yingsu, who hugged the prince tightly, looked at him with a stinting gaze and asked, "Your Highness has secretly contributed, right?" ”

It's obviously irreversible, but I suddenly heard that I can suspend my sentence for a year, and someone must be doing something here.

The crown prince cupped her face and kissed her for a while before saying, "It's not me, it's Gonggong Zhang who persuaded Your Majesty." ”

Wen Ying said: "Then, Gonggong Zhang should have been entrusted by His Royal Highness to do this, right?" ”

The prince was noncommittal.

Wen Yingsu smiled, gently stroked his neck and said, "Then, the concubine should thank both Gonggong Zhang and His Royal Highness." ”

"Well, I'm going to give him that piece of ancient jade jade that I've treasured for many years." Prince Road.

He knew that Gonggong Zhang had always liked Gao Guyu, but in reality, it was not easy to buy a collection made of Gao Guyu, and the price was too high.

Wen Yingsu said: "Since it is the concubine's brother who is helped by him, it is better for the concubine to give him a gift." ”

The prince smiled and scratched her nose, and said, "He likes Gao Guyu, even if you take out your full net worth, you may not be able to buy it." ”

Wen Ying said supremely: "The concubine will give you all her savings, as if the concubine bought your piece of ancient jade." ”

After all, this matter is about Li Yuan, not just her, so if she doesn't give some money, she won't be happy.

The prince shook his head and said, "Do you have to be so clear with me?" ”

Wen Yingsu said: "It's as if I bought it with you on behalf of my brother." ”

Seeing that she insisted, the prince had no choice but to nod.

Shen Zhu came to Li Yuan with two chicken legs.

Shen Zhu first congratulated him on the fact that he could postpone the execution for one year, and then said: "You have behaved well in this year, maybe the emperor will exempt you from the death penalty because of your good performance in a year." ”

Of course, this is comforting words, but Shen Zhu knows - as long as Li Yuan behaves well and the prince helps from it, it is not impossible.

Li Yuan smiled, took a chicken leg he handed over and nibbled on it.

If you haven't experienced it, you won't understand that for Li Yuan, every quarter of an hour of his life is worth singing and cherishing. He's ready to plan well and try to accomplish what he wants in this year.

Investigating the case is the first priority, and the second thing is to go back and clean up the Bufu well, and then live in.

He doesn't care what others say about him, anyway, life is for himself.

And then...... His face flushed.

How he wished that he could marry a wife and have children in his lifetime, but after all, he only had one year to live, and it would be irresponsible to them to marry and have children in this year, so he hurriedly broke off this thought.

But he didn't feel sorry for it, after all, he could see Wen Yingsu's child born.

He finished the chicken leg in a big gulp, patted Shen Zhu's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go drink a few cups." ”
