The emperor frowned slightly, could it be that Gu Jianglin really didn't have any selfish intentions for this case?

When Shao Pei, the secretary of Dali Temple, he has always valued this person very much, so he put it in such a position, because he is iron-faced and selfless, and he will never choose how to judge because of the identity of the other party.

Such a person is also the easiest to offend people, and it is not easy to form a party for personal gain in the court, so he can rest assured.

He really didn't expect that Xu Zhizhi would choose such a person, he should not have prepared in advance, could it be that there are really grievances in this matter, so Xu Zhizhi They want to use this person to help them clear their grievances?

This matter has been fermenting in the court for many days, and he has been holding it down, firstly, because he doesn't want to rule so easily, and secondly, because he feels that the prince he trusts has done such a thing, which is really disgraceful.

But now there are signs that he seems to have been wronged.

After thinking for a long time, the emperor nodded and said, "You're right, you should check it carefully." ”

When the prime minister heard this, he frowned slightly, and he didn't know why, he always felt that Xu didn't know that there was no good thing in his heart to say this, so he immediately said: "Isn't this matter already ironclad?" Fortunately, it was Lord Li Sixue who handed over the evidence of the crime with an iron face, and after careful investigation, he found that dozens of officials were involved, and I don't know how many people in the court want to be bought by the five princes, not to mention where the money came from, the five princes have not yet explained, and the top priority should be to let the five princes confess and be lenient. ”

When the emperor heard this, he glanced back at the prime minister, "In my heart of love, I think it's Jiang Lin?" ”

The prime minister hurriedly took a step back, "Weichen doesn't dare, I just feel that there is no need to investigate this matter, and Dali Siqing is good at all kinds of homicide cases, and I am afraid that this kind of case is not good at it." ”

The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "Shao Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Shao Pei walked out of the crowd at this time, knelt on the ground, and said in a sonorous voice: "Eat Junlu, bear the king's worries, although it is not what Weichen is good at, but you can still try your best." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Shao Aiqing is really good at observing. ”

When the prime minister heard this, he sighed in his heart, the emperor suddenly praised Shao Pei like this, isn't he referring to Sang and scolding Huai?

He lowered his head and said after a long time: "After all, this matter is about the emperor's heir, and it is possible that a Dali Temple alone may not be handled properly, so it is better to send someone from the Zongzheng Mansion to supervise each other to ensure that the result is fair." ”

The emperor laughed, "What Dali Siqing has done over the years is not enough to prove his fairness and integrity?" Why should you be nitpicking? ”

"I have to pay attention to this matter." The prime minister persuaded him.

The emperor sighed, "In this case, it is not a big deal to let Zongzheng Mansion join, just do what you say, and draw up the decree for me." ”

"Yes."

Xu didn't know how to breathe a sigh of relief, and when he looked back, he found that the prime minister was staring at him coldly.

He smiled and shook his head, not paying attention.

The holy decree has officially come down, and to thoroughly investigate this case, Gu Jianglin does not have to stay in the palace, but still has to go to Dali Temple to cooperate with the investigation.

Even if such a thing happens, he doesn't want to, it's just a plan, he doesn't want his brothers to turn against each other and kill each other, but now there is no way to do anything.

Although Shao Pei, the secretary of Dali Temple, said that he was upright and selfless, he did not dare to let a dignified prince live in Dali Temple, so he was only summoned once and let him go back. century

Gu Jianglin smiled and said when he left: "I have always believed that you are fair and selfless, so I let you mention you in the court." I hope you can clear my name. ”

Shao Pei still said without humility or arrogance: "It is my duty to find out the truth, no matter what kind of existence the truth is, the activity will be reported to the emperor one by one." ”

Gu Jianglin smiled and nodded.

These days, I have been under house arrest in the palace, and I don't even have a chance to visit the capital to regain my freedom, but I want to take a stroll.

After taking the car, I went to the lantern street, where lanterns and Kong Ming lanterns were sold at night, but during the day, only a few restaurants were open for business, and few people came.

He looked around, only to notice a familiar figure.

Gu Xizhou was sitting on the second floor of a restaurant, looking out the window, as if he was waiting for someone.

Gu Jianglin walked up but was stopped by the shopkeeper, "I'm sorry, the rooms above are full." ”

Gu Jianglin smiled and said: "I know the guest above, he is my younger brother, don't worry, he won't blame you, go down." ”

The man looked at the faces of the two, it seemed to be a little similar, so he nodded and stopped delving, and retreated, before Gu Jianglin sat down, Gu Xizhou's eyes turned over, and when he saw that it was him, he frowned, and said coldly: "Why are you here?" ”

"I just think, why use such means? Could it be that you are also involved in the treasure matter? Or is the Prime Minister finally willing to tell you the truth? Gu Jianglin chuckled.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Xizhou seemed to have made up his mind and pretended to be stupid.

Gu Jianglin smiled faintly, "At this juncture, is it useful to pretend to be stupid with me?" Did the Prime Minister tell you the ins and outs of the matter? ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." Gu Xizhou frowned, and just wanted to call Xiao Er to come up, but was stopped by Gu Jianglin, "It seems that you still don't understand, why did the Prime Minister want to find that batch of treasures, and why did the branch of this batch of treasures never appear in the court before he cooperated with you?" Have you thought about all of this? ”

"You just want to say that the Prime Minister wants to read through this batch of treasures again, greedy for money and lustful, it is human nature, this is understandable, I also express my understanding, it is much better than some sanctimonious hypocrites." Gu Xizhou said coldly.

"No wonder my father doesn't want to give you the position of crown prince, it seems that you are still too simple to think about things." Gu Jianglin laughed, "The Prime Minister's current wealth has been carefree all his life, but why did he go to the trouble of finding such a batch of treasures?" And if this treasure is handed over to the emperor, it will be a good thing for me to be for the country and the family, but he wants to swallow it privately, what does this mean? ”

"Bad intentions?" As soon as Gu Xizhou said this word, he immediately stood up and said, "I didn't say it." ”

"You cooperated with the prime minister, it seems that the prime minister lied to you." Gu Jianglin laughed, "Look at these things." ”

Gu Xizhou was a little puzzled and picked up those documents.

Many of them are handwritten documents, written by the prime minister to King Mujun.

"How did you get this?" Gu Xizhou asked while looking at it.

"Got it by chance." Gu Jianglin stood up and said, "Why do you say the two of them are setting up such a big game? It was as if they had a falling out in front of everyone in the court, but their personal relationship in private was so good, even if they handled a normal court relationship, the emperor would not suspect the two of them, but why did they do this, it was just to hide people's eyes. ”

"You said that the Prime Minister's true allegiance is to King Mujun?" Gu Xizhou couldn't believe it.

Gu Jianglin patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Think about it, the Prime Minister has always maintained a neutral attitude in the court, and the courtiers have repeatedly suggested that the crown prince be established, but the attitude of the Prime Minister is to postpone the discussion, it seems that he is waiting for someone to come, it is terrible that he has a purpose, he is just using you, Xizhou, I really don't want to watch you go further and further." ”
