Zhang De was shocked, looked at Shen Nanzhu with a frightened expression, and only came back to his senses after a while, raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at him and said, "You ...... You're spewing blood! ”

Shen Nanzhu said lightly: "I don't know if I am a blood squirter, Lord Zhang himself knows best." ”

As he spoke, he took out all the evidence he had prepared in advance.

The chamberlain standing next to him stepped forward to take it and presented it to Emperor Dezhao.

Emperor Dezhao looked at it carefully, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

"Zhang Qing."

After reading the physical evidence, he raised his head and called out in a deep voice, and then fell silent.

Zhang De shuddered and buried his head deeper.

The hall was silent, the civil and military officials were sincerely afraid, and some officials who had been with the king for many years were even more worried.

Compared with those officials who have just entered the court, they know better that the emperor in front of them is more angry when he is silent.

They would rather see him turn his face on the spot than see him say nothing with a cold face like he is now.

Because the more this happens, the more thunderous fury awaits behind.

Zhang De knelt on the ground in a panic, his forehead pressed tightly to the ground.

Why?

Why is this happening?

Wasn't that a long time ago?

His Royal Highness King Yi has already sent someone to deal with him.

Right now...... How could he be caught by this newcomer to Dingnan Hou Shizi now?

After Emperor Dezhao was silent for a long time, he handed the evidence presented to Huang Yong, who took it and asked the chamberlain to hand it over to Zhang De, who was kneeling on the ground.

Zhang De took it and glanced at it hastily, and his face was as white as paper and trembling like a chaff sieve.

Things don't need to be interrogated. Just by looking at his reaction, you can see what the truth is.

What is in front of him at this moment must be ironclad evidence, and he cannot tolerate half a quibble.

Emperor Dezhao's face was gloomy, and he immediately investigated Zhang De's dismissal.

Because this matter also involved King Yi having helped him conceal it, the other people who originally planned to intercede for King Yi together did not dare to stand up easily.

King Yi's henchmen looked at each other in the court, not knowing how to complete his entrustment and clear him of the crime of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife.

In the end, Zhao Kun, the servant of the ministry, hesitated and stood up, saying that if it was true that King Yi helped Zhang De cover up the crime, it was naturally his fault, but the death of Princess Yi was another matter, and it should be investigated.

Who knew that his voice had just fallen. Shen Nanzhu's voice sounded in the hall again. As if he had just participated in Zhang De's book, he also participated in his book, pointing out that he embezzled the imperial court's disaster relief money in a disaster relief matter five years ago, which led to the aggravation of the disaster. The people have no means of making a living. It was also King Yi who helped him cover it up. Local officials were ordered to forcibly suppress the refugees, but did not report them to the imperial court.

There was another uproar in the court, and Emperor Dezhao's face was pale. There was almost a fire in his eyes.

At this time, everyone still can't understand that this prince of Dingnan not only clearly wants to oppose King Yi, but also wants to completely pull King Yi down and never give him a chance to turn over.

Whoever dares to say good things for King Yi, he will pull him down with him, and he will never be soft.

And standing in this court at this moment, except for a very few people who really have clean sleeves, who dares to say that they are completely clean?

This Dingnan Hou Shizi has only been in office for a few months, but he can even pick up the things of five years ago in detail, who knows if he has some other person's handle in his hands? Are there any of them of their own?

King Yi and his party immediately lowered their heads in fear, and no one dared to say a word in the court, for fear that this upstart in the court who suddenly came out would notice them.

And the crime of killing his wife by King Yi's favored concubine has not been washed away, but there are more charges of forming a party for personal gain, suppressing refugees, and endangering the society of the imperial court.

In this way, unless Emperor Dezhao has only one son left, the position of prince is absolutely out of his favor.

The court meeting of the day dispersed in an unusually dull atmosphere, and the court suddenly lost a secretary of the Ministry of Rites and a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the most important thing is that with the incident of these two people, I don't know how many people will be implicated, and the scope of the impact will be as wide as you can imagine.

Emperor Dezhao went straight to the imperial study angrily, and Liu Bufan, who had been waiting in the room, was playing on the chessboard by himself, and waved his hand to him without raising his head when he heard the movement: "Come on, come on, it's just that I'm not bored playing chess alone." ”

Emperor Dezhao snorted coldly and sat down across from him.

"Your good apprentice found out the case of Cangzhou disaster relief and embezzlement five years ago, do you know?"

Liu Bufan dropped down and nodded: "I know." ”

"Know?"

Emperor Dezhao jumped to his feet angrily: "Since you know, why don't you report it early!" Now you know why you have to wait until today to say it! Didn't he know that this was a major matter concerning the country's social welfare? Can this kind of thing also be used as a bargaining chip to suppress the opponent? Can it also be used as a tool for him to avenge his wife? ”

He only knew in advance that Shen Nanzhu was going to suppress a few of King Yi's henchmen today, and he also guessed that he would say something like Zhang De's murder for the sake of the thin horse, but he didn't expect to hear that there was a matter of greed for ink in the disaster relief five years ago! How does this make him not angry!

Liu Bufan didn't seem to hear it, and looked at the chessboard thoughtfully.

He disrupted all the chess pieces on the chessboard with a bang, and Liu Bufan jumped up with a sigh.

"You, you...... What are you doing? I'm going down to where it matters! ”

"What's next! I'm asking you! ”

Emperor Dezhao glared at him angrily.

Liu Bufan snorted, sat down and took back the scrambled chess pieces one by one, and said while collecting them: "You should thank our daughter-in-law Azhu!" If she hadn't had an accident this time, Ah Zhu wouldn't have been so angry and checked the henchmen around King Yi. ”

"Although he was ready to deal with King Yi at the beginning, he didn't plan to be in such a hurry, nor did he plan to do things so ruthlessly, as long as he pulled King Yi down."

"King Yi touched his backlash this time, that's why he advanced his original plan so much, and he was so ruthless."

"Let's take the Cangzhou ink corruption case as an example, because the incident happened too long. In recent years, the transfer of local officials has been relatively large, and it is actually very troublesome to investigate. ”

"He originally just inadvertently discovered a little clue, and he was going to investigate it slowly, who knew that King Yi accidentally injured his wife at this time, he was angry, and he personally supervised and worked tirelessly to find out the matter."

"So, what do you say you're angry about? If it weren't for the injury of Azhu's daughter-in-law, I don't know how long this matter would have been investigated! I don't know if I can find out! ”

Emperor Dezhao snorted coldly: "According to your meaning, if it weren't for his wife's injury, this matter might be over?" I probably didn't know that something like this had ever happened in Cangzhou until the day I died? ”

Liu Bufan stopped his hand to collect chess. frowned and glanced at him: "Are you angry and have nowhere to mess around?" You really think it's because you're the emperor. Ruling the whole world, you can know everything that happens in this world? ”

When he said this, he sneered: "On the contrary, because you are the emperor, you don't necessarily know as many ordinary people!" ”

Emperor Dezhao's body stiffened. The dough is tight. The face is not very good-looking.

Liu Bufan turned a blind eye. continued: "Too long has passed since the Cangzhou ink corruption case, and there are very few clues left, if you want to use this as a breakthrough to bring down King Yi. That's not the best idea. ”

"Ah Zhu is a pragmatic child, if this case is not easy to investigate, he will naturally abandon it and find other better and faster ways to deal with King Yi."

"Unless there is no other way, he will not spend time and effort on such a time-consuming and laborious thing, you should be able to guess this, and I will not hide it."

"In other words, it is true that as you said, if there is no Mengbao injury, if it is not for the fact that he is now eager to bring down King Yi and eager to suppress his henchmen, but there are no more and better clues, then the Cangzhou case of greedy ink may really be over."

But is there anything wrong with that? The Cangzhou case was caused by King Yi and his henchmen, as long as they were pulled out, wouldn't the purpose of punishment still be achieved in the end? So what difference does it make if the case itself is turned over or not? ”

"After all, it was five years ago, not what is happening now! It's best if he can find out, and if you can't find out, you can't blame him! Five years ago, he hadn't even stepped into the court, he was just a child! ”

Emperor Dezhao looked at him in a daze for a long time, and suddenly snorted and chuckled: "Can't you see, you are so protective of calves?" ”

Liu Bufan gave him a blank look: "I don't have a son, Ah Zhu is equivalent to my son, you can't trust my son, I naturally want to throw your face at you!" ”

He could see that Emperor Dezhao was really angry with Ah Zhu just now, and he really didn't trust Ah Zhu! At this time, if you don't shake your face, when will you shake it!

Emperor Dezhao had no intention of mentioning the old story of his childlessness, and he was a little speechless for a while.

Seeing that Liu Bufan had already put away all the chess pieces, he began to swing them on the chessboard one by one, grabbed a chess box, and began to drop pieces on the chessboard.

"I'm so angry to hear about this today."

It seems to explain the reason why he just lost his temper.

Liu Bufan snorted: "You weren't angry when you heard about this, you were angry because you didn't know about it before!" ”

Because he is used to being an emperor and is used to grasping the overall situation, he feels that he has a feeling that everything in the world should be in his hands, and this feeling is clearly an illusion.

Emperor Dezhao smiled bitterly: "Then what can be done, after all, I have been sitting in this seat for so long." ”

"I don't care how long you've been sitting here, but Azhu is my apprentice, so you should trust him. If you don't believe him now, how can you leave him with confidence in the future? People say that Father Xiao, even you are not at ease, how can I expect Ah Li to be at ease with him? ”

"Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have been most suspicious of each other, if Ah Li can't be completely at ease with him, then I will simply take him to hide now, and the provincial will turn around and give birth to something like that, just cause trouble!"

It's like the current him and the Rongguo Mansion, if it weren't for the unconditional trust of Emperor Dezhao, the saliva of the ministers alone would be enough to drown them!

He didn't want his apprentice to face such a difficult situation in the future!

Emperor Dezhao sighed lightly, this old thing is still angry!

On weekdays, he has never seen him so angry because of himself, but now he is so angry for his disciple, which shows that he is really as he just said, and he has raised that disciple as a son.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely trust you in the future, isn't it okay!"

He had no choice but to relent, and said with a smile: "Besides, Ah Li, I can't come forward." Even for the sake of your daughter-in-law, Ali will believe him! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bufan finally showed a smile, and nodded sincerely: "That's right, Azhu's daughter-in-law has no other skills, and this ability to convince people's hearts is better than anyone else!" ”

When Emperor Dezhao heard this, he immediately made a straight face: "What are you talking about!" Who's going to take whom! ”

Liu Bufan glanced at him: "Don't bite and chew words with me, you don't know what I said!" This person's friendship with others is better than sincerity, and our daughter-in-law treats others with a pure heart, and naturally can get corresponding rewards! ”

Emperor Dezhao sneered: "I don't know who told me every day that the girl was very stubborn, but now this cow's temper has become a good character!" ”

Liu Bufan choked: "That...... Temper and personality are two different things! Can it be the same! ”

The two argued again, and Huang Yong, who had been guarding outside the room, wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

…………………………

Mengbao didn't find Shen Nanzhu by the bed when he woke up, and he stayed in the room bored until it was close to noon before waiting for him back.

As soon as Shen Nanzhu entered the door, he saw her rushing over with shiny eyes, and fell into his arms.

"Azhu, where have you been?"

She asked coquettishly in his arms.

Shen Nanzhu looked at her inky hair, felt the slender and soft body in her arms, and her eyes were full of smiles.

It seems that her little girl is used to his company, and she misses him every other day.

He thought of the brilliance in her eyes when she first saw him, and his heart was like eating honey, and he subconsciously tightened his arms and rubbed her hair.

"I haven't been to the court for a long time, and I have something to go back to Your Majesty today, so I went there."

"Huh? You've gone to court, huh? ”

Mengbao noticed that the court clothes on his body had not been changed off, and he obviously went straight here to see her as soon as he returned home, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak for his sloppiness for a while.

"That...... I'll wait for you to change your clothes! ”

In order to make up for her mistakes just now, she took the initiative to do things that she rarely did on weekdays.

Shen Nanzhu naturally readily agreed, enjoying her service, but stopped her when she reached for the home-cooked clothes on the hanger and wrapped her in his arms.

"Shall I change my clothes for my wife now?"

He chuckled under his finger against her forehead.

Mengbao blushed: "That...... I...... I'm not cured of poisoning......"

"What does it have to do with changing clothes if the poisoning is good or not? What was Madame thinking? ”

Shen Nanzhu chuckled and whispered against her lips.

Meng Bao choked, and the pink fist slammed into his shoulder.

He laughed and let her thrash, picked her up and walked to the bed. (To be continued......)
