The emperor's left hand habitually made some small movements, which were not clear to others, but Deng Min was the most familiar with him, but he immediately knew that this was the emperor hesitating and retreating......

Raising his eyes and looking at the three of His Royal Highnesses, counting the four princes, those three have been officials for a long time, and their merits are needless to say, they are all number one, and they are also guilty of a lot in the Red Music Workshop, but the emperor does not seem to have any intention of disposing of the three.

Could it be this time......

Deng Min sighed in his heart, but the Ministry of Rites Shangshu couldn't bear it anymore, although the two of them had already had a final plan with the emperor before, but now the emperor obviously wanted to protect the prince to the end!

For what? In addition to the little affection for Queen Chunyuan, that is, the face of the royal family!

"Your Majesty! The minister has something to say! ”

The emperor raised his face, a little unwilling to deal with the Ministry of Etiquette, but he still reluctantly gave a good face, "Aiqing has something to say, don't worry." ”

"The prince's virtue is indebted, and the old minister thinks that His Majesty should investigate the root cause of the Red Music Fang and the silver mine, although the other courtiers are wrong, it should also be the wrong guidance of His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty must not blindly indulge."

This old man! It's really boring, and he didn't give his Royal Highness the Crown Prince face in court!

The prince hung his head lowly, although he had already put the two of them in the enemy line, he did not refute silently at this time, and he was determined to go to the end of the road of pretending to be pitiful and well-behaved.

Lord Lin realized it later, and finally reacted, and immediately took out a look of Your Majesty, you must not let go of the prince easily, otherwise the old minister will be killed by a headlong crash.

The emperor had a headache, and the three old ministers had an idea in their hearts, and they all opened their mouths and replied: "Your Majesty, let me say something fair, Your Highness is indeed innocent when you say it, no matter what the ministers go to the Red Music Workshop, they have never seen the face of the prince there." ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, the crown prince is guilty, and it is also a crime of mismanagement and lax governance, where can there be such an exaggeration as Lord Lin and the two of them say?"

Seeing the two of them like this, Imperial Doctor Chen also had a cold face, looking like he had been wronged and couldn't speak, "Your Majesty, the prince is wronged, Princess Xiaoyun of Wei Guo is hiding in Hongle Fang, what is the reason, I don't know if Lord Shangshu has found out?" ”

The emperor wrinkled his eyebrows and said nothing, and the crown prince still lowered his head, making it difficult to see his face.

What do you mean by that? Could it be that all this evidence is fake? ”

"Lord Shangshu and Lord Lin are dedicated to the court and the people, and they will definitely not slander the prince, but the ministers are afraid that they don't know the inside story, but are just deceived by appearances."

The emperor pointed to the ledger on the ground, "Then these huge amounts of gold and silver flowing to unknown destinations, I don't know what explanation the prince has?" ”

The crown prince was silent, and the emperor slammed the table one by one, "embezzling taxes and accepting bribes...... One by one, I haven't settled accounts with you yet! ”

"Don't speak? Do you really think this evidence is a show-up? Servant of the ministry, you know this process best, right? Tell the prince how he should defend himself at this point. ”

The man looked at the two fathers and sons, and said in a deep voice: "The prince needs to have evidence to prove that he didn't have the silver, but Your Majesty, you have to give the prince a chance to find evidence!" ”

Will that be the case? The emperor stopped talking, and anyone with eyes could see that the emperor was really thinking about whether there was such a possibility, and the prince was slandered.

After all, in the emperor's heart, he, the prince who raised and educated him with his own hands, is still the most popular with him.

The Ministry of Rites was in a hurry, but he had nothing else to say, so he could only wait, waiting for the emperor to choose......

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asked to see him, saying that there was an urgent matter, and his life was at stake!"

"What can he do now, I don't see!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a muffled sound outside the door, and I saw the prime minister kowtow three times in one step, crawling in from outside the hall on his knees, holding an object high in his hand, and his forehead suddenly bled non-stop.

"This! Darn! ”

When the person crawled in, he was already dazed and there was a dark shadow in front of him, "Emperor, Emperor, this is the evidence handed over by the prison guard Liu Yu before he died, this person is the real traitor to the enemy!" ”

The audience was in an uproar~

The emperor quickly ordered Deng Min to take the evidence, and he was instantly shocked at this sight......

"What about Liu Yuren? Hurry! ”

"This, this! Your Majesty, people have become dead souls under the sword......"

"What?!" The emperor was furious, and for a while the things in his hands were a little helpless, is this true or evidence fabricated by the prince and others? Now there is no proof of death......

Looking at the prince again, that expression really doesn't look like he's joking, but the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites won't lie to him, what is the truth?

After pondering for a long time, the emperor put down the transaction record, squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "Where is Princess Xiaoyun now?" ”

As long as you find Princess Xiaoyun, everything will have an answer!

"Your Majesty, the ...... has not been found" Deng Min thought for a while, and then whispered to the emperor, "The prince's mansion has been searched, and other related courtiers' families have also been searched, and there are no clues yet." ”

Didn't the prince hide people?

The emperor didn't know what to do now, but maybe it would be better......

"What else do you want to say? Lord Lin, you two have seen this evidence. ”

The two didn't believe that this thing was true, but the emperor just wanted them to say that it was true, and the two sighed and lamented in unison, "Headless death~ unless you find Princess Xiaoyun......"

After a while, the emperor seemed to have made some decision, "There are enough officials involved in this case, and enough people have been killed, and the anger of the people is ......"

"Come on, the will!"

To the effect that the crown prince was also a victim of this case, the emperor had already dealt with the officials behind the scenes, especially Liu Yu, who was even more forcefully branded as a collaborator and treason.

The crown prince is not guilty, but his rule is not strict, the management is improper, and there is such a big scandal, which is really insulting to the royal family, and he will be punished to go to Wolong Temple to think about it for a month from now on.

As soon as the decree was issued, the hall was shocked at first, the people did not understand the internal affairs of the DPRK and China, and after the prime minister and others trumpeted the excellence of the prince's exploits, they deeply thought so.

Song Zhancheng's people who stayed in the capital received the news as soon as possible, and they were so angry that they really wanted to send Princess Xiaoyun to the emperor, so that this old fool could recognize his good son!

"Lord, Your Majesty really believed that excuse, and now the prince has nothing to do except be punished to go to the temple to eat fasting and pray Buddha for a month."

Cheng Jingyun was sleeping in Song Zhancheng's arms, and Foshan lowered her voice again, so she didn't attract her attention.

Song Zhancheng glanced at Cheng Jingyun, waved his hand, let Foshan retreat, the sun was about to set, and the soldiers were exhausted after marching for two consecutive days, not to mention Cheng Jingyun's sick number, they had to camp and rest for one night.

At night, Song Zhancheng and Foshan stood on the hill outside the camp tent, looking down on the big and small rivers, feeling the silence of this hundred miles around.

Foshan finally couldn't hold back, "Master, my subordinates really don't understand, why does Your Majesty protect the prince so much?" ”

Song Zhancheng was silent, and after a while, he chuckled and said, "In a hurry? ”

Thinking of his master's intention to delay the prince, Foshan shook his head and didn't speak, but the disbelief on his face couldn't be hidden.

"It's late, let's go back, let the soldiers eat and drink enough tomorrow before they go."
