Emperor Yuanwu wanted to cut the knight, and King Rui and the others were not surprised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Liu Tong returned home, he also said to Chang Runzhi that this was an inevitable thing.

Although Chang Runzhi felt that it was a little subtle to cut the knight at this point in time when the spring list was released, he wouldn't think too much about it.

It's just that King Rui is in charge of this matter, which always makes people sigh a little.

The thankless task has fallen to King Rui again.

Liu Tong didn't have any complaints about this, and followed King Rui diligently to do things.

The matter of cutting the knight is not a matter of issuing a holy decree.

The Ministry of Rites has to check the things that meet the rules of the two mansions, such as the door plaques of the Guogong Mansion and the Hou Mansion, and withdraw them. As for King Rui, firstly, he had to deal with all kinds of inquiries from the people in the two prefectures, and secondly, he had to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites, so as not to have any omissions in the verification work.

The Anguo Mansion and the Anyuan Marquis Mansion are in-laws, and they have been reminded from the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, so they have been prepared for this matter for a long time. When King Rui and the people from the Ministry of Rites came to the door, they greeted people politely, actively cooperated, and it took only a few days, and they did not blush with each other, so they dealt with everything clearly.

And when it came to the Marquis Wenyuan's mansion, things were a little tricky.

The family members of the Marquis of Wenyuan Mansion have nothing to say, but there are many of his children and grandchildren, and the daughter-in-law of the family does not look at the occasion.

What did the people of the Ministry of Rites think, but King Rui was not impatient, and the woman did not let him check, so he grinded with others.

When the list was released in the spring, the list of palace exams came down, and the matter of the Marquis of Wenyuan's mansion was still stuck in the middle and could not be completed.

Emperor Yuanwu was very unhappy about this.

Early that day, Emperor Yuanwu asked about the matter.

The people in the Ministry of Rites were ineffective, and they also slapped the King of Rites in the face.

King Li stepped forward and first admitted his mistake, and then said slowly: "This matter is handed over by the father to King Rui, and when it comes to the matter, presumably the details are more detailed than King Rui." ”

Emperor Yuanwu looked at King Rui.

King Rui stood up, lifted his robe and knelt down and arched his hand: "It's the son's dereliction of duty, please punish my father." ”

King Li's eyes narrowed slightly.

King Qi also glanced in the direction of King Rui.

The Marquis of Wenyuan's Mansion was embarrassed by King Rui, and everyone in the capital had heard of it, and Emperor Yuanwu must have known about it.

But at this time, it was clearly a good opportunity to sue, but King Rui admitted his mistake and didn't say a word?

Why?

There are not a few people who have doubts in their hearts, and Liu Tong is also one of them.

But he stood with his head bowed steadily, and he did not say a word until King Rui did not make the next move.

Emperor Yuanwu's gaze swept over the sons at the bottom of the stairs, and when his gaze fell on the prince's face, he paused slightly.

After a long time, he said calmly on the throne: "The palace test is imminent, and the matter of punishing you will be left after the palace test." Ruiwang. ”

"The son is here."

"I order you to sort out and dispose of the rest of the things before the palace test."

"The retainers obey."

King Rui calmly received the order, and then stood up and retreated to the side.

Emperor Yuanwu also put this matter aside and began to make the ministers work.

The crown prince, whose face was slightly gloomy, glanced at one of the courtiers in a certain direction, and someone came out and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has a performance." ”

"Words."

"Wechen's impeachment of Jingzhao Yin Fengke is not well supervised, his rule is not strict, and his ability is not enough. The murder case in the brothel has not been solved so far, which not only frightened the people, but also insulted the reputation of King Rui and brought shame to the royal family. ”

Liu Tong's gaze suddenly shot to the person who spoke.

Emperor Yuanwu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? ”

It's been a while since the brothel murder happened, and the case has not been solved, so it really shouldn't be. But impeaching Jing Zhaoyin on this basis is inevitably a bit far-fetched.

If you really want to find the "mistake" of someone because of this matter, I'm afraid it's not just Jing Zhaoyin's responsibility.

Who can't hear the people in the court, this person's impeachment, the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

The last sentence "insult the reputation of King Rui and disgrace the royal family" is his purpose.

King Qi suddenly spoke up and said with a smile: "How can a mere murder case be related to the royal family?" ”

King Qi asked knowingly, but the man also cooperated: "Jing Zhao Yin Feng Ke has repeatedly visited King Rui's Mansion since the murder case in the brothel. It is reported that on the day of the crime, King Rui was also in the brothel. It's ......."

The man sighed and arched his hand to King Rui and said, "Your Majesty has heard that King Rui is cautious and decisive. Jing Zhaoyin was incompetent, and he actually let King Rui be involved in this case. In order to clear his innocence, this case may depend on King Rui to find out. ”

There was no answer in the main hall.

King Rui's expression was faint, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking.

Liu Tong clenched his fists and looked at King Rui.

There is something wrong with this man's logic.

The investigation of the case, the local yamen can't investigate, as well as the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, no matter what, it can't be the turn of King Rui to investigate.

As a witness, it is true that King Rui was involved, but what can be said to be "to clear his innocence", asking King Rui to investigate the case is inevitably a little funny.

But then again, the brothel murder case has developed to the present, and it is an unsolved case with no clue, and the possibility of finding out the truth is almost zero.

If such a case falls into the hands of anyone, it will be a hot potato.

Let Rui Wang investigate this case, there are nothing more than two results, clear investigation and unclear investigation.

If it is clear, rumors can also be spread, saying that in order to prove his innocence, he casually pulled a scapegoat;

I can't find it out, and I'm afraid that King Rui can't tell him about his role in this case, so he can't say that he has to put a "incompetent" hat on King Rui's head.

People with clear brains can think about things clearly, and Emperor Yuanwu is naturally clear.

He glanced vaguely at the crown prince, sat on the throne with his legs crossed, and looked down the stairs with heavy eyebrows.

The person who proposed it asked again with a shy face: "What does King Rui think?" ”

King Rui looked up and smiled at him.

"Since this king is also involved in this case, how can he be the master of the investigation of this case? Of course, if the Holy One thinks that this king has the ability to find out the facts of the case, this king will not shirk it. ”

King Rui looked at the throne: "Everything is arranged by my father." ”

The prince's heart suddenly tightened, and the movements of kneading the jade belt around his waist were frequent, revealing his nervousness.

King Qi and King Li glanced at each other, and immediately moved away.

King Cen crossed his arms and stood slightly obliquely, his eyes glazed.

Everyone in the main hall was waiting for Emperor Yuanwu's reply.

Liu Tong clenched his fists, and his eyes looked straight at Emperor Yuanwu on the throne.

It was too far away, Liu Tong couldn't see his face clearly, not to mention that the pearl reeling silk on the crown also covered the expression of Emperor Yuanwu.

No one knows what the Lord of a country has thought in this short period of time.

But everyone knew what his final decision would be.

"That being the case, then the case will be handed over to King Rui for investigation. Time limit-"

Emperor Yuanwu thought for a while and said, "The deadline is one month." ”

King Rui stood for a while, before he bowed down, arched his hand, and said in a flat tone: "The son of the minister has the order." ”

No one saw the appearance of King Rui.

Only when Emperor Yuanwu just spoke up, Liu Tong, who turned to pay attention to King Rui, saw King Rui's expression after Emperor Yuanwu spoke. (To be continued.) )
