For the time being, let go of the King of Loyalty, and be worried here. Besides, Sun Yan left the Zhongshun Mansion with someone, and immediately opened the note that the woman gave him. A closer look reveals that there are a few lines written on it.

The gist of it is that after Li Changshi returned from the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, King Zhongshun locked him in Changchai's house, did not give him food, nor did he let people treat his injuries, and he bought off the guards as his wife and secretly went to visit him. Li Changshi explained the reason to himself, it was when the Emperor Taishang issued an edict to denounce King Zhongshun, he said a few words that King Zhongshun didn't like to hear. King Zhongshun has always held a grudge, killing two birds with one stone today, not only to take revenge on his disrespect to King Zhongshun back then, but also to give Jia Ke a powerful blow. I'm afraid I won't survive this time, so I asked my wife to avenge him.

Sun Yan smiled lightly when he saw this, now there is no need to find other evidence, King Zhongshun does not seem to be so easy to get out this time, so he does not return to the ministry, and goes directly to the palace.

Sun Yan came to the Qianqing Gate again and asked the golden-armored guards guarding the temple gate to go in and report it.

After a while, the gold-armored guards came out and replied to him that the emperor had ordered him to enter. Sun Yan entered the Qianqing Gate again.

After Sun Yan entered the main hall, he saw that the ministers of civil and military affairs were still standing there, and some of the old ministers were now crumbling. It seems that the emperor has been waiting for news from him.

Sun Yan came to the center of the main hall, knelt down and said: "Sun Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, knock on my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Sun Aiqing, let's be flat."

"Long live thanks." After Sun Yan got the emperor's favor, he dared to stand up and stand aside waiting for the emperor's inquiry.

"Aiqing went to the Zhongshun Mansion to check the corpse, how is the investigation now?" The emperor couldn't wait to ask Sun Yan as soon as he stood up.

The emperor is now looking forward to Jia Ke's hand, but also afraid that this matter is really related to Jia Ke.

The emperor thought that Sun Yan was his confidant, and this time he would definitely frame Jia Ke according to his intentions just now. So I was a little anxious in my heart, and I was really afraid that he would make some trouble for himself this time.

Sun Yan stood in the center again and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the matter has been clarified. ”

"Oh, it was found out so quickly, what the hell is going on? Yu Zhen said. ”

"Your Majesty, Li Changshi's matter has another reason, and it is not because he died because he was reprimanded." Sun Yan stood in the center of the hall and said loudly.

"Didn't you get killed? How did that die? "The emperor is now taking a long breath, this Sun Yan seems to be a little clever, and he has not spoiled his own major affairs, allowing the contradiction between himself and Jia Ke to develop to the point of being out of control.

And Liu Yu, who was standing under His Royal Highness, also nodded secretly, Sun Yan was really resourceful, and he saw the danger in just such a little effort. This time he did a good job, and he pulled the emperor back from the edge of danger.

Liu Yu now seems that as long as this matter does not involve the emperor, no matter how much other people suffer some grievances, they should also be wronged.

Even Liu Yu is ready to sacrifice King Zhongshun, if Jia Ke holds on to this matter, then King Zhongshun can only suffer some grievances, wait until the emperor completely controls the court, controls Jia Ke, a traitorous minister, and then gives an explanation to King Zhongshun.

Sun Yan didn't notice that something was wrong with the emperor, and stood in the center of the hall and said in a loud voice: "After investigation, Li Changshi is because the water and rice have not been eaten for a few days. After being punished by the cane in the Marquis of Wuyang, after returning to the Zhongshun Palace, the Zhongshun King did not treat his injuries, so the wound became inflamed and finally died. ”

After listening to his words at this time, the emperor was completely angry, you just don't frame Jia Ke, and there is no need to bring King Zhongshun in, isn't this embarrassing for yourself, and now you let yourself punish or not punish King Zhongshun. Don't you have that eyesight? You can't say that this long history is a violent illness and death.

At the same time, now the emperor has thought that if he disposes of the Zhongshun King, the concubine in the harem will probably cry in front of him.

For this concubine who treats her like her own, the emperor is both respectful and loving, and it can be said that he completely regards her as his biological mother, if she comes over to cry, he really has no choice.

Thinking of this, the emperor threw the paperweight next to him on the main hall, "Sun Yan, don't be untrustworthy and frame the royal family, do you know what kind of crime this is?" ”

As soon as Sun Yan heard the emperor say this, he quickly knelt on the ground and said aloud to the emperor: "Your Majesty, as the secretary of the criminal department, the minister's duty is to apply for blood and wrongs. Here is the complaint sent by Li Changshi's wife. Please ask the emperor to take a look. ”

After Sun Yan finished speaking, he held up the letter given to him by Li Changshi's wife above his head.

The emperor did not order anyone to receive the letter. Because once you take it, I'm afraid you will have to dispose of the loyal king.

And Jia Ke stood up at this time and arched his hand: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to read this letter, let people read it out in front of the palace and let everyone listen to it." What is the merits? ”

When the emperor saw Jia Ke coming out to attack him, he was a little panicked. So far, he hasn't figured out how to deal with Jia Ke, and he doesn't dare to provoke Jia Ke, in case he doesn't care about it, he may be forced to hang himself.

"Jia Aiqing, you don't need to read this letter, I already understand that you have been wronged, and this matter will end here." The emperor still wanted to settle the matter.

"Your Majesty said this, the minister did not dare to agree, as the saying goes, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, since the criminal department has investigated the case almost, then it is good to say it in front of the civil and military, and the minister is innocent. Otherwise, the accounts are so confused, and the people of the world still think that the emperor is protecting the ministers. Jia Ke stood on the main hall and answered the emperor with righteous words.

Jia Ke was already very angry about King Zhongshun's sudden attack this time. Thinking that this time I must give him a good look, otherwise in the future, any random person will rush to impeach him, what prestige do I have to talk about?

After listening to Jia Ke's words, the emperor's face showed anger, "Why didn't what I said work?" I've said that's the end of it, and no one is to mention it again. ”

Jia Ke looked at the emperor and smiled, and then retreated back to the class as if he was fine. But he has decided in his heart that today's matter must make himself happy no matter what, otherwise, this emperor will keep blocking himself, do you really think that he is good-tempered?

So although Jia Ke stood back in the class, he glanced at Wenchen without a trace.

And Zhang Chaoxin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was standing in the middle of Wenchen, had long been paying attention to Jia Ke's every move, and now seeing him glaring at him, he still didn't understand what Jia Ke meant.

At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all talking below, and everyone could see that this time I am afraid that King Zhongshun deliberately framed Jia Ke.

But he didn't expect that King Zhongshun would kill the long history of his mansion in order to frame Jia Ke. Such brutality has not happened since the founding of the country. The emperor wanted to let it go so lightly, so what did he treat these civil and military ministers.

And some of these people are still in the same year, and now they are angry when they see what happened to him. At the same time, he was disappointed that the emperor protected his royal family like this and didn't take them seriously, so the balance in these people's hearts couldn't help but tilt to Jia Ke's side.

And the emperor didn't know himself, he just wanted to perfunctory this matter, but he lost the hearts of many people, which made his power shrink even further.

At this time, Zhang Chaoxin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the imperial history of the right capital, came out of the class, knelt on the ground, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the long history of the Zhongshun Palace, who was also born in the two rankings of Jinshi, is a meritorious person, how can he die in such an unknown way." Ask the emperor to see what is going on and give an explanation to the dead minister. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, a large part of the hall knelt down and played to the emperor together: "The ministers seconded it." ”

A large part of these people are Jia Ke's people, and the rest are just rabbits and foxes. I have a lot of opinions about the unfairness of the emperor's handling of things this time, so I gave advice to the emperor together.

And the few who were loyal to the prince's mansion had the happiest dance in the same year, which was not trivial in ancient times, these people were all Jinshi in the same list, and they were constantly intertwined with each other, helping each other in the officialdom, and sometimes they could even form a party.

At this time, the emperor only felt that his temples were jumping, and these people were clearly acting as pawns for Jia Ke. And there is some truth in what they say, and I can't even refute them.

Moreover, the emperor also saw it, and Jia Ke's power among the ministers began to swell. Now the emperor was already feeling restless.

So the emperor glanced at Liu Yu, the secretary of the ministry next to him, which meant to let Liu Yu come out and say a few words to resolve the current crisis.

Liu Yu really deserved to be the emperor's most loyal minister, and as soon as he saw his eyes, he immediately stood up and said, "Everyone listen to me." I think that the matter of Wang Li's participation in Lord Jia is completely hearsay, and it has the intention of framing the minister, and it should be severely punished. ”

After Liu Yu said this, he arched his hand like Jia Ke, and then said: "As for suspecting that King Zhongshun is suspected of killing the chief of the palace, this is also nonsense. It is unjustifiable to dispose of the prince of the dynasty by virtue of a woman's words, and in the absence of evidence, everyone should not mess around here. ”

Zhang Chaoxin secretly glanced at Jia Ke, and saw Jia Ke standing there, with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. At this moment, he understood that Jia Ke didn't want to let go of King Zhongshun so lightly.

Zhang Chaoxin then scolded Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, you are still the Minister of Military Aircraft, how can you say such lawless words." Now that the person is dead, and his wife has already submitted the complaint, the reason should be investigated, how can it be settled in confusion. ”

After Zhang Chaoxin finished saying this, he ignored Liu Yu and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since this case is suspicious, the minister asks the three law divisions to intervene and take a closer look." Justice must be done to the deceased. ”
