Regardless of whether King Huai chooses to save people by slaughtering the white goose, or goes to Emperor Shenwu to report the grievances of the Criminal Department to buy his life, he will inevitably implicate His Royal Highness the Prince, who is now trembling.

Emperor Shenwu still values the crown prince, Xu regards the prince as the heir, and is extremely strict with the prince, and reprimands him with a slight mistake, on the contrary, he often puts on the appearance of a loving father to the princes except the prince, fueling the aspirations of the ambitious princes for the crown prince's position.

Emperor Shenwu is old and strong, his body is tough, his complexion is excellent, and he looks like a long-lived emperor.

Becoming a crown prince to a long-lived emperor is the hardest drudgery in the world.

Ah Jiu's history has recorded many amazing and brilliant His Royal Highnesses, most of them were tossed by their long-lived father, the emperor, to the point of being mentally abnormal, and what they did wrong.

"Are you sure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is involved in this matter?"

"I vaguely heard Lord Lu talk about it, and at that time, Lord Lu forbade Jinyiwei to investigate further."

Ling Shan Lingyun is a person sent by Lu Tianyang, and it is already a tacit secret to Ah Jiu, so that Ling Shan and the others are glad that Miss Jiu trusts them as always, and they don't see any dissatisfaction.

In fact, Ah Jiu is not dissatisfied, and he will not be hypocritical to think that Lu Tianyang uses Lingshan Lingyun to control himself or something.

Compared with other slaves and servants, Ling Shan Lingyun's comprehension ability and ability to do things are much stronger, with the two of them here, Ah Jiu is worry-free and effort-saving, and she has nothing to hide, even if Ling Shan and they are Lu Tian's people, Ah Jiu will not be swayed by Ling Shan and others.

Ah Jiu playfully hooked the corners of his mouth, "He didn't let Jinyi Wei check, and His Royal Highness the Prince's foundation was almost touched by him." ”

Let the factory guard verify His Royal Highness the Prince, not necessarily who will benefit, Lu Tianyang touched the prince's life, and there is a lot more room for operation in the future.

Ling Shan looked down at her toes, how could she answer this?

"Senior Brother Lu's plan is very big." Ah Jiu sighed a little with emotion, even if King Qi has no ambition for the throne, will the people who follow and assist King Qi be willing?

Ah Jiu's heart suddenly sank, her face was a little solemn, she married Lu Tianyang...... King Qi's seizure of the heir has also become her unshirkable responsibility.

"Before Lord Lu left Beijing, he had instructed that the people in the imperial capital obeyed the orders of Miss Nine."

"I don't care!"

Ah Jiuyi shook his arm and walked forward, but before he could do anything, things came up...... Ah Jiu, who calmed down a little, was unable to sit still, and buying his life instead of death was the most stringent trampling on Ah Jiu's memory.

She should do something, the world is already a lot unfair. "Lingshan." "Miss Nine."

Ling Shan seemed to have expected it, and immediately appeared beside Ah Jiu when she heard the summons, quietly waiting for orders.

Ah Jiu slowly made up his mind, Huai Wang cheated his father, that was also what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did wrong, "Help His Royal Highness Huai Wang." ”

"Yes, Miss Nine." "Notify me immediately if there is any news."

Ah Jiu didn't know if King Huai would stab Emperor Shenwu if he found the evidence, in case he was blocked in advance by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... This matter will definitely be suppressed, since he is involved in it, Ah Jiu is not willing to give up halfway.

"We are not necessarily the only ones targeting His Royal Highness King Huai."

"What do you mean?"

"There are too many people who want to pull His Royal Highness the Crown Prince off the horse, and there are many people who have heard about it, since someone has come forward, they are happy to add fuel to the fire."

Ah Jiu pondered for a while, and then gave up the idea of asking King Qi to come forward.

It is true that as Ah Jiu expected, in recent days, King Huai has attracted the attention of all parties, and most of the princes of the empire know that Emperor Shenwu is about to give Mo Xinlan to marry the king, and the princes have different reactions to this marriage, and it is difficult to avoid leaking the will of similar marriages.

Emperor Shenwu wanted to reuse Mo Guanjie externally, coupled with the face of the eldest princess of the imperial sister, and at the same time he did not want the future princess Huai to stay in the cell for too long, he slightly urged the capital government Yin to end the case.

Mo Xinlan was locked up in the cell for more than a month, holding a plausible verdict, and was taken back to the Guogong Mansion by the Auxiliary Guogong.

Fu Guogong really has no face to stand up for Mo Xinlan again, and he has no face to send Mo Xinlan back to Mo Guanjie, since his granddaughter is about to marry to Huai Wangfu, Fu Guogong is not bad to raise Mo Xinlan for these two days.

When she returned to the Fuguo Mansion, although her food and clothing were as usual, Mo Xinlan obviously felt that her aunts were alienated from her, and even her grandmother, who loved her the most, only met her in a hurry, just so that Mo Xinlan could prepare a dowry with peace of mind.

It was difficult for Mo Xinlan to take a step out of her own courtyard, all the slaves and maids who were originally used easily were replaced, and the new maidservants served respectfully in front of her, but behind the scenes, Mo Xinlan could always hear their secret discussions.

For Mo Xinlan's additional instructions, the maidservants couldn't see it.

Mo Xinlan was angered, and the slaves and maids knelt on the ground and begged to complain about their grievances, they didn't want to be kicked out of the national mansion like the people Mo Xinlan had to use before, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Mo Xinlan was devastated, it turned out that the people around her had been purged by Fu Guogong?!

She wanted to reason with her grandfather and grandmother, but the husband and wife of Fuguo didn't see her at all, and the eldest aunt and others who loved her didn't come to see her once for ten days and a half months, as if she was a bad god and would be unlucky if she got wet, and her cousins were even more distant from her.

The only person who cherishes and cherishes her is King Huai.

Fu Guogong did not prevent King Huai from meeting Mo Xinlan, every time King Huai came to visit her, it was the happiest time for Mo Xinlan, who was snubbed by her relatives, Mo Xinlan attached great importance to King Huai and became more and more gentle to King Huai.

There is a way in the eyes of a lover, and Mo Xinlan sees that King Huai is more handsome and talented than before.

In the face of Mo Xinlan's tenderness, King Huai couldn't help but exchange heartfelt feelings with her, and truthfully informed Mo Xinlan of the process of rescuing Mo Xiang.

Mo Xinlan admired King Huai's decision very much, and encouraged King Huai to be aggressive, "If the prince can get rid of the moths and clean up the criminal department, he can not only impress His Majesty, but also correct the name of the prince." ”

At this time, Mo Xinlan put the rescue of Mo Xiang in a secondary position, and planned with King Huai how to report the ills of the Criminal Department to Emperor Shenwu more effectively.

Of course, when they talked about these things, they deliberately avoided the maidservants of the Guogong Mansion, and Mo Xinlan was reluctant to sue her grandfather for such a big matter.

First, she was afraid that her grandfather would prevent her and King Huai from lifting the lid of the Punishment Department, and second, she was afraid that the leakage of the news would make King Huai's plan collapse, and third, she was ...... Mo Xinlan looked forward to making her grandfather regret that she despised herself today and underestimated King Huai, and fourth, King Huai had the ability to be valued by Emperor Shenwu...... She is more precious for the princess.

Encouraging the assistant husband to focus on the career of the government is also what a good wife should do.

Mo Xinlan put aside the cold loss of her relatives and concentrated on discussing the case with King Huai, and her several flashes of inspiration made King Huai suddenly open, so that the two became closer and closer, and King Huai loved Mo Xinlan more and more.

"This king really hopes to marry a good wife and return home sooner."

Being looked at by King Huai's affectionate gaze, Mo Xinlan's cheeks turned crimson, and she turned her head shyly, but she couldn't snub King Huai too much, she gently tugged on King Huai's sleeve, and her voice was smaller than a mosquito buzzing, "I...... I also hope to serve the prince as soon as possible. ”

Receiving a response from his sweetheart, King Huai became more and more energetic and ran away on the road of the pit father.

King Huai suddenly cared about the abnormality of the criminal department, but he couldn't hide the ambitious princes, and with their secret help, King Huai had a lot of evidence...... The princelings who should have been aware of King Huai ignored him because of King Huai's special status.

After all, King Huai is the son of the crown prince, can he still do things that are not good for the prince?

If the evidence held by King Huai is carefully analyzed, it is not difficult to see that it faintly involves the crown prince, but Mo Xinlan and King Huai are both eager to save people and make meritorious contributions, they are immersed in the glory of the future, how can they pay attention to these details?

What's more, these two have never been trained by the most orthodox official careers, have little experience, are bold, short-sighted, and have someone pushing behind them, King Huai quickly made a decision, "Enter the palace and expose the malpractices of the criminal department in front of His Majesty." ”

On the impatience, Mo Xinlan is better than King Huai, and Fu said: "The concubine wishes the prince a triumphant." ”

******

It wasn't until King Huai presented the evidence to Emperor Shenwu that His Royal Highness the Prince, who was busy with military affairs, heard about this from the mouth of the hardcore, and the prince looked at his subordinates in disbelief as if he had been struck by lightning, "The news is really reliable?" ”

"Your Majesty was furious, lifted the table in the imperial study, and scolded the officials of the Criminal Department in the dialect of his hometown for more than an hour, even Jiang Shoufu was punished to kneel outside the imperial study, and the rest of the ministers and the six scholars were all beaten with the court staff."

The prince's face was defeated, and he couldn't support his body and leaned softly on the cushion, "Why didn't Lone strangle him at that time!" ”

In recent years, the prince has supervised six departments, especially the criminal department, most of them are princelings, even if the slaughter of the white goose is not instructed by the prince, the prince cannot get rid of it, not to mention that most of the income from the slaughter of the white goose goes into the prince's pocket.

"What to do? Now what? ”

The prince asked his advisers and vassals, and said angrily, "You are talking to Lone." ”

"The subordinates thought that they should cut off their tails to survive and annihilate the evidence, and then His Highness went down to His Majesty to plead guilty, saying that he was negligent in taking precautions, so that the situation of the Criminal Department appeared, and the officials involved in the case ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had better shut them up. ”

"His Majesty is angry, they can't get well, it's better to let them confess their sins so as not to implicate more people."

"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taking care of their descendants, they will be more at ease when they go."

The prince calmed down a little, and he could still do it by letting the party members of the criminal department shut up, but the evidence could be completely annihilated...... He made a difficulty, although Emperor Shenwu handed over the government to the prince, but the monitoring of the prince was very strict, and the dead soldiers cultivated by the prince for many years may not be able to hide Emperor Shenwu.

Once the dead man is detected by Emperor Shenwu, his life will be over.

It is also realistic not to use the dead to count on the strategists to kill people and destroy their mouths, and the prince can't help but be in a dilemma.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has asked you to go to the imperial study, and Gonggong Ma will pass on the message in private, so that His Highness will be careful."

“……”

The prince shook his forehead and shook his body, that's it, he can't hesitate any longer, he must finish his work and dismiss the ministers, the prince went to the secret room of the East Palace, and soon the news was sent out from the secret channel, and the prince was dressed and entered the palace by Luanyu.

At the door of the imperial study, there were kneeling ministers of the court, most of whom were unbearable, covering their backs and other wounds from the court staff.

"Your Highness, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have already executed many people by His Majesty."

“……”

The crown prince heard the roar of Emperor Shenwu coming from the imperial study:

"My ears and eyes can't catch up with King Huai, they don't deserve to die, who deserves to die? Kill, I don't raise useless minions! Kill all of them, and I'll see who dares to be unkind to me. ”

King Huai, who was praised by Emperor Shenwu, stood tremblingly in a messy imperial study, he had never seen Emperor Shenwu so angry, and he never thought that the matter of the Criminal Department would implicate these people, and most of the officials who were cut off by Emperor Shenwu without interrogation were his Royal Highness the Prince's henchmen.

King Huai faintly felt bad, could it be that the mastermind of slaughtering the white goose was the prince?

The conscience of heaven and earth, he never thought that this matter would implicate the prince!

Even if he is confused, only when the prince ascends the throne, he can be the king of Huai in peace, once the prince capsizes, and the rest of the uncles have to ascend the throne, King Huai does not dare to imagine what kind of predicament he will face, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to even be an idle prince.

"Your Majesty is angry."

King Huai caught a glimpse of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister thinks that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and he can't anger the courtiers because of chance." ”

"My brother-in-law once told me that when the criminal law is unfair, money is used to buy lives frequently, and unjust cases occur frequently, which is a sign of the loss of the country."

Emperor Shenwu's eyes were solemn, "I have always remembered this, I never expected that the empire would only rule the world for twenty years, and the remnants of the previous dynasty had not been wiped out, and there were signs of the death of the country,"

"Prince, you have treated me so badly."

"The father is angry, and the son is guilty."

The crown prince's feet were weak, and he knelt in front of Emperor Shenwu, "Erchen......"

Emperor Shenwu was born recklessly, when he was angry, beating people, beating his son is a common thing for him, he rounded his arms, and slapped the prince three times, the prince couldn't hide, and he didn't dare to hide, and even his cheeks were swollen high, he didn't dare to touch it, and continued to kowtow to plead guilty, "The son is also blinded, and the father sees it." ”

Emperor Shenwu was very heavy, and even King Huai, who was watching from the side, felt his face hurt.

The prince was secretly glad that before entering the palace, he sent the dead to annihilate the evidence and extinguish the mouth by the way, and now the only thing he hopes for is that the person he sent to destroy the mouth can preempt Emperor Shenwu, judging from Emperor Shenwu's anger, it is difficult for the affairs of the criminal department to be good.

"陛xià......"

King Huai pretended to have the courage to defend the crown prince, "The minister thinks that His Royal Highness the crown prince does not know." ”

"Hmph."

Emperor Shenwu snorted coldly, his eagle eyes ruthless, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, King Huai...... You presented this matter to me, and I ordered you to go to the Punishment Department as an envoy to lift the lid of the Ministry of Punishment. ”

“…… Minister......"

"Why don't you dare? Don't dare to find out if the prince is guilty? ”

King Huai's face turned pale with fright, how could he interfere in such a hot matter? When it was found out that the crown prince had fallen, it could not be found...... Emperor Shenwu will take his life, "The minister is not in good health, and he has to prepare for the marriage, so he is really unable to serve His Majesty." ”

The prince closed his eyes, damn fool! Could this son be a little more stupid?

King Huai's refusal of Emperor Shenwu didn't make it clear that this matter was instructed by the crown prince?

Dare to look at him?

The prince couldn't wait to gouge out the eyes of King Huai, and the prince, who was trapped to death by his son, gritted his teeth, "Erchen thinks that King Huai is not suitable, after all, he has not experienced court politics." ”

"In your opinion, who is suitable?"

"Erchen...... Erchen sees that King Zhao is suitable, can he also let King Qi be with King Zhao? ”

In order to show his innocence, the prince could only recommend his biggest rival King Zhao to the criminal department.

"Quasi-play." Emperor Shenwu hooked the corners of his mouth, "The candidate recommended by the prince is accurate, but it's a pity, King Huai...... King Huai, I have another reward for you. ”R1152
