This is an opportunity for him to gain a firm foothold in the court in the future.

In Nangong Li's heart, the power he has worked hard to manage makes him feel more at ease than the advantages he has gained from marriage.

When Nangong Xun heard that he had come to share his father's worries, his eyelids jumped twice, and a feeling of uneasiness rose from the bottom of his heart.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Nangong Xun doesn't like Nangong Li, he hasn't liked it since he was a child.

He was jealous that Nangong Lisheng was more handsome than him, hated Nangong Li's brain was smarter than him, and he was even more annoyed by his father's preference for Nangong Li.

Now under the steps in front of the door of the imperial study.

Nangong Li stood.

But he knelt down.

Still kneeling at Nangong Li's feet,

A feeling of condescension rose in his heart, and his disgust with his fourth brother became even more thorough.

He secretly clenched his fists, feeling the cold gaze of the man above his head, and he even felt if there was endless mockery in it.

Nangong Xun thinks that Nangong Li is too kind.

Where is it just ridicule, Nangong Li looked at him condescendingly like looking at a dead man, and the undisturbed surface was a deep hatred,

If hatred can become a sharp blade, then Nangong Xun has already been dismembered.

In fact, the more a person can endure, it means that the more ruthless that person is.

Because you will never be able to find out where his bottom line is, but you can rest assured that he will not forget every damage you put on him.

He will repay you in a more cruel way one day.

So that you don't even have a chance to turn around, and you can't see even a glimmer of light.

Nangong Li bent down and said in Nangong Xun's ear at a very close distance, in a voice that the two of them could only hear clearly: "Let me tell you, in fact, this king came here this time to talk to his father and let him dispose of the remaining thirty or so people of the Yin family earlier. ”

Eight people from the Yin family suddenly died in the prison last night, and then the whole capital seemed to be restless, and they hadn't had time to deal with such slanderous rumors such as the queen unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and they couldn't really let people instigate the father and emperor to kill the rest of the people.

That really confirms the rumors.

When the time comes, don't say that it's just an uncle, I'm afraid that the rest of the officials who follow me won't be so heartfelt.

This is a ruthless move, and it can directly shake their foundation.

Nangong Li slowly stepped up the steps, until the heavy door of the imperial study was closed, which cut off Nangong Xun's fierce eyes staring at his back.

In fact, the queen is the mother of the middle palace, she was grounded, and she was suspected of poisoning and killing people, this matter is too big, and a mishandling will cause the court to be shaken.

This country is the rockery of the Nangong family, and all the royal people are more concerned.

For example, Prince Bao.

At this moment he is also in this imperial study.

Prince Bao and the emperor are brothers, and the shadow of the emperor can be seen between his eyebrows.

The emperor's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, showing his good mood,

It's just that Prince Bao frowned and looked worried.

"Brother Huang, some of the foolish opinions of the courtiers, you have to listen to them in your heart, the queen mother has lived in the middle palace for more than 20 years, and now she has been grounded, and the court is going to be chaotic."

Mess up, mess up.

He was about to cut through the mess with a quick knife.

An interesting smile rose on the corner of the emperor's lips, looking as if he was considering the meaning of Prince Bao's words, but he was secretly jealous in his heart.

Because from another point of view, Prince Bao's words are also suspected of interceding for the queen and the crown prince.

"The emperor's words are wrong, I actually don't pre-ground the queen, she is my wife. But now the evidence is conclusive, that is, even Mrs. Yin in the cell insists that those people died after eating the pastries given by the queen. With all the evidence and material evidence in this person, you told me to do nothing?? Won't the people of the capital think that I don't distinguish between right and wrong, and that I am incompetent??? ”

The emperor's rhetorical tone was cold, and Prince Debao trembled when he heard it, and hurriedly said loyally: "Your Majesty, the younger brother doesn't mean this, the younger brother is afraid that the emperor will be unstable." ”

With these words, the originally mild atmosphere suddenly became cold.

At this time, Gonggong Zhou pushed open the door of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the prince has come to ask for a meeting, and he is already waiting outside the door of the imperial study."

Prince Bao was originally scared into a cold sweat, and when he heard someone asking to see him, he immediately gave up his leave.

"Then the emperor, the younger brother retired first."

It wasn't until he completely withdrew from the imperial study that Prince Bao felt that he had escaped a level.

Nangong Li walked forward and met Prince Bao at the door, he felt that Uncle Bao's face didn't seem to be very good, so he stepped forward and said, "Uncle Bao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Prince Bao always values harmony in everything, many years ago, this Prince Bao also invited the imperial doctor for his mother's concubine, and he still remembers this feeling.

Moreover, Prince Bao's style of life that values harmony for so many years has made everyone conclude that he is a person without ambition.

Prince Bao's face was not very good, and he glanced at Nangong Xun under the steps not far away, he also saw that this child was kneeling pitifully, so he thought of saying a few words for the queen, but he never thought of annoying the emperor.

He thought that this prince was a person who did not want to see the killing like himself, so he felt that Nangong left the palace to intercede for the queen and the crown prince.

Immediately, he sighed deeply, and sighed in a very heavy tone: "If you are ordinary and ask for peace, now that the situation is sensitive, you must not intercede for the queen when the emperor is still angry." ”

Nangong smiled at the corner of his lips, but agreed obediently: "Okay,"

"Quick, Father-in-law Zhou, send someone to send Uncle Bao out of the palace."

In dealing with the queen, Nangong Li guessed the emperor's thoughts thoroughly.

Nangong Li held a cup of tea in his hand, took two sips slightly, and then said: "Actually, my son also chatted with Uncle Bao for a few words, Father, you actually know Uncle Bao as a person, he always loves harmony all his life, but Father, don't you think this matter needs to be investigated again?" ”

The emperor nodded secretly, as if he agreed with what Nangong Li said.

However, he still shook his head in denial and said: "But I don't think there is any need to investigate this matter anymore, after all, there are human and material evidence, and the queen is at a loss for words, so why spend manpower to investigate the things that are already settled." ”

The emperor thought that Nangong Li said that he would investigate carefully, and he wanted to find out whether the queen had poisoned people last night.

So when Nangong Li said very seriously that he wanted to investigate the Yantian corruption case involving too many officials, the emperor was stunned for a moment.

didn't seem to expect that his son would take the initiative to take this matter.

The emperor plans to send secret guards to investigate this matter according to the people involved in the ledger, and then he will pick out one or two early birds according to the specific actual situation to come out and ask for beheading, so as to achieve the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and ruthlessly sort out the black smoke and miasma on the court.

It's just that this thing is a hard bone to gnaw.

If you don't bite well, you will break a mouthful of teeth.

The emperor's eyes flashed with a heavy look of doubt, but he said directly: "This thing is not easy to do, you have just taken a rough look at this account book, there are too many officials involved, and where the final silver flows, I also know in my heart." It's just Li'er, how do you want to take this matter over? ”

"My son doesn't know what you're doing with this ledger, and now everyone's eyes are on you, my father, for fear that your anger will burn on them. However, the father, the son has not been in the court for many years, and it is not inconspicuous, and it is the most inconspicuous to investigate this matter from the inside. ”

Nangong is right from this.

The reason why the emperor did not designate anyone to investigate this matter was because he did not think of a suitable candidate, and on the other hand, he was worried about this.

If the emperor had appointed someone with full authority to investigate the matter thoroughly, that person would definitely have become the target of public criticism, and might even die violently for no apparent reason.

So even if the emperor had the account book in his hand, he didn't dare to attack too much.

Hearing Nangong Li's earnest words, the emperor lowered his head, as if thinking about this decision.

In fact, Nangong Li wants to take the investigation power of this matter into his own hands, fifty percent is to gain a firm foothold in the court, and fifty percent is because of Mu Xue.

He wanted to see what kind of wonderful expression the woman would have if she knew that the life and death of the woman named Li Mingze were in his hands.

Seeing that the emperor was still hesitating, Nangong Li got up and knelt in front of the dragon case.

"Okay, what are you doing on your knees?"

Nangong Li knelt on one knee and explained the events of last night earnestly.

"The Son Is Guilty !!"

Before he could say anything specifically, Nangong Li took the lead in confessing his guilt.

When the emperor saw him confessing, he asked in a low voice, "What did you do?" ”

"Father, my son doesn't dare to hide it from you, in fact, about the queen's poisoning and poisoning of the Yin family in the prison, it was the son who mixed it in the middle."

A stunned look appeared in the emperor's calculating eyes, and he immediately squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice: "You got a kick?" What the hell have you done? ”

Nangong Li didn't hide it.

Immediately, he told me about the replacement of the pastry.

In fact, these words also proved Li Mingze's innocence from the side.

"Is that you??"

The emperor suddenly realized that he thought it was really the queen's hands and feet, so he seized the opportunity to ground the queen.

Now that I think about it, it seems a little subtle.

If the queen really wants to harm people, how can she use the basket marked by Kunning Palace to send things in?

Isn't this exposing the evidence to the public???

The emperor's eyes, which had been accustomed to seeing ups and downs for half his life, were staring intently at Nangong Li, who was kneeling in front of him.

Give Nangong Li endless pressure,

He still knows too little about this son.

That day, the prison was surrounded like an iron bucket, and when the emperor heard that Li Mingze came to report this morning, he said that he had carefully checked every pastry, and there was absolutely no problem.

Rao was in such a tight situation, and his son still succeeded.

And no one suspected him.

If it weren't for this person's honest confession today, the emperor thought that he would probably be kept in the dark.
