When Liang Yinhuan entered the Qinzheng Palace, he saw Huo Pei'an and Tong Yuan also standing in the hall together, and he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart. He bowed and saluted, "The courtiers see the emperor." I don't know what happened to the emperor's ministers? ”

Emperor Liang Yinhao looked at Huo Pei'an, quite impatient. "Huo Xiang, everyone is here, now you can tell what happened, right?"

Huo Pei'an bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this matter was discovered by the Kyoto Mansion, or should the child of the Criminal Department tell the truth of the whole matter." ”

Tong Yuan hurriedly said the whole thing from beginning to end.

It all started with the pouring rain of the past few days. Because the Ruiwang Mansion was seized five years ago, it fell into disrepair, and in the face of continuous heavy rain in recent days, a wall in the backyard of the house collapsed, revealing a big hole, which happened to be discovered by someone with a heart. When the thieves saw that it was the long-abandoned palace that had collapsed, they thought that even if there was no gold or silver treasure in it, every brick and tile, beam and pillar would be worth a lot of money, so they became greedy and secretly entered the palace through the big hole.

When the thief entered the house, he stumbled upon some clues in the flower garden in the backyard. Because of the rain, the soil of the flower bed began to loosen a little, and a few looming hard objects appeared in the soil, and the thieves guessed that there might be some valuable utensils buried here, so they began to dig the earth, and sure enough, several large boxes were dug up. The thief was overjoyed, and thought that there was a treasure hidden in the chest, so he dug all the chests out of the dirt. I opened it with joy and took a look, but what was hidden in the box was not gold, silver and jade at all, but a handful of bladed weapons that shone with cold light, and there were as many as five chests.

Tong Yuan explained the matter in detail, but did not see any reaction from Emperor Liang Yinhao, he trembled in his heart, and hurriedly squinted to look at the prime minister, and after receiving Huo Pei'an's suggestive eyes, he continued: "Your Majesty, it is a big crime to hide weapons in my court, and the thief is a thief, and he is very scared, so he went to the Kyoto Mansion to surrender on the second day. And Lord Wen of the Kyoto Prefecture felt that this matter was in the Rui Wangfu, after all, the Rui King was the prince of the imperial court, and if he wanted to thoroughly investigate the matter, he should still report it to the Criminal Department, and play it to the emperor, and the emperor should decide. ”

After saying the whole thing, the hall was silent, as if it would be shattered with just a slight touch. Huo Pei'an always remained silent, and the emperor didn't dare to speak first, so he could only stand aside with his head down, but he still didn't forget to look at the emperor's expression with his eyes.

The hidden blades in the prince's palace are tantamount to a sign of rebellion. Liang Yinhao's face became more and more ugly, looking at King Rui's eyes like two sharp knives, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Hidden weapons? Ruiwang, do you have anything to explain? ”

Liang Yinhuan fell to the ground with a 'plop', but his face did not show panic, but said righteously: "The emperor is Mingjian!" The younger brother has never done such a rebellious thing, and he has no disobedience to the royal brother! Since the imperial brother ascended the throne, the younger brother has always kept to himself in the fiefdom, how can he have such a mind of being struck by thunder? What a strange thing this happened! ”

When Huo Pei'an heard King Rui's quibble, he finally couldn't help but speak: "King Rui is really a good show!" There are all the human and physical evidence, why is it strange? ”

Liang Yinhuan ignored Huo Pei's ridicule, looked at the emperor, and continued to argue: "Brother Huang, think about it, it takes a lot of silver taels to buy and forge these weapons, and the courtier's annual Yulu court is recorded, where can you get so much money to buy these weapons?" What's more, the younger brother has no military power in his hands, and the most important thing in rebellion is to have army soldiers in his hands, but the minister doesn't even have people, what do you want these weapons for? ”

Listening to King Rui's analysis, the emperor felt that what he said was not unreasonable, and he couldn't help but relax a lot. At this time, Huo Pei'an's voice sounded in the hall again, "Maybe King Rui has other unknown means of collecting money in the fiefdom, or he has stationed troops privately, and it is not known?" ”

"Unfounded, Huo Xiang's speculations are a little bolder! The eyeliner sent by the prime minister is well aware of the king's whereabouts and actions over the years, has the king received ill-gotten gains, doesn't Huo Xiang know? Liang Yinhuan squinted at Huo Pei'an, with obvious mockery in his words. After speaking, he met the emperor's scrutinizing eyes again, and the words were loud. "My brother has been away from Beijing for five years, and although the Ruiwang Mansion has been blocked, it is not impossible if someone with a heart wants to sneak into it. Maybe someone deliberately hid these blades in the old mansion of the minister, intending to frame the minister! ”

When King Rui said this, his eyes always seemed to drift in the direction of Huo Pei'an, obviously referring to something else. Huo Pei'an couldn't help but be angry when he saw King Rui vainly trying to point the finger at him, and immediately opened his mouth to fight back: "King Rui's words are wrong, King Rui's mansion has been sealed for five years, and no one has ever entered, who will come to frame the prince?" Moreover, even if these weapons were not forged and hidden by the prince in the past five years, what about five years ago? It may even be earlier, as early as when the first emperor was still on the throne! Maybe the prince was already ready at that time, after all, everyone knows that the prince had a lot to do with Yun Xu back then! ”

When Liang Yinhuan heard Huo Pei'an mention the former prime minister Yun Xu, his body suddenly shook significantly, and the pretended calm and composure finally made a ripple, he took a deep breath, then lowered his throat and said slowly: "Back then, Yun... What is the truth about Prime Minister Yun's matter, this king doesn't know, but in the end, even the first emperor decided that this king has nothing to do with that incident, Huo Xiang is now suddenly talking about this matter, does he think that the first emperor has judged the wrong case, can't recognize people clearly, and doesn't distinguish between right and wrong? ”

Huo Pei'an didn't expect this Rui King to be so cunning, not only could he speak well, but even poured dirty water on him. He also hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said with a look of grievance: "The emperor is clear, and Weichen has no disrespect for the first emperor. King Rui is so quibbling, is he a thief? ”

"What this king has never done, do you still have to be silent, and you can't suffer this dumb loss? However, because of a thief's words, Huo Xiang decided that the king intended to rebel, so eager to cure the king's crime, is it also a thief's heart? ”

"You!"

"That's it! I was dizzy from the noise. Liang Yinhao scolded violently, interrupting the argument between the two, "Hiding weapons privately is not a trivial matter, as a prince, King Rui is not a prince, it is not that he will be arrested, and he will be sentenced, or more empirical evidence should be presented." This matter will be thoroughly investigated by the Criminal Department and the Kyoto Prefectural Government, and I must give a clear explanation to me and King Rui. ”

"We're in command." Tong Yuan said.

Emperor Fu looked at Liang Yinhuan again, and said pretendedly: "It seems that the fifth brother will not be able to go back for the time being, and I am afraid that the fifth brother will be wronged during the investigation of the case." ”

Liang Yinhuan lowered his head slightly, hiding the bleak smile on the corner of his mouth. "The younger brother understands that as long as the case has not been clarified and the younger brother has not been cleared up, the younger brother will stay in his dormitory and will never leave the palace for half a step. However, the younger brother also has one thing to ask the royal brother. ”

"You say."

"Before this matter is investigated, please don't sue the queen mother, so as not to worry the queen mother and aggravate her condition."

"Yes, I promise you.
