In the depths of Weiyang Palace, Emperor Liu Che's residence has now been moved to the Yanbo Palace. This palace is surrounded by water, carved beams and paintings, and the decoration is very luxurious. In this season, the autumn breeze is coming, the smoke is ethereal, and when you look at it, it is really refreshing and refreshing.

However, at this moment, everyone in this hall did not care about enjoying the beautiful scenery, let alone being in the mood to pay attention to other things. All the guards, palace maids, eunuchs, etc. stood cautiously in their positions, standing with their hands down, and they didn't dare to gasp.

Dazong Zhengliu didn't know it, and he didn't exaggerate at all. It is exactly the same as the one he stated in the court of Hanyuan Palace, and it will be placed on the case in front of Emperor Liu Che at this time. And there are traces of the imperial pen Zhu Pi on it, obviously, he has seen it in detail.

And the crown prince Liu Ju, who hurried over after the end of the court meeting, knelt on the ground with his head bowed, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

Liu Ju has not raised his head since he knelt on the ground to plead guilty. He didn't know what his father meant now. The atmosphere of silence in the palace had lasted for a long time, and the prince of the Han Dynasty, who had suffered a major setback in his life for the first time, was full of shame and indignation, and his heart was turbulent.

He really couldn't understand why someone suddenly wanted to get along with him. Moreover, after the first to attack, several ministers stood up and echoed them, expressing their dissatisfaction with some of the decisions made during the prince's reign.

And for these people's accusations, the prince has no time to feel too much. His mind was full of confusion at that time, frustration mixed with resentment, listening to the old and powerful voice of the great sect in the chaotic dispute, those evidence of the sins of the East Palace, one by one clear and unambiguous, suddenly sounded believable. Even Liu Ju himself was a little puzzled, could it be that his subordinates had really done these unforgivable things?

Later, the prince, who lost his desire to justify, no longer wanted to stay in the Hanyuan Hall for a moment. After announcing his retreat with an ugly face, he took the lead in leaving with a bit of evasion.

And since the emperor already knew about it, even if the crown prince was angry, he had to forcibly suppress it and come over to give a serious explanation.

However, Emperor Liu Che, who had just had breakfast, did not listen to any explanation from him. Just glared at him sternly, and then let him kneel here and think about it.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong...... Huh?"

After a long time, the emperor's voice finally came. After all, the invasion of Gu poison damaged his health, and although his body was no longer in serious trouble, he seemed to be lacking in qi when he spoke, and it was difficult to return to his previous condition.

"Father, my sons really don't know what is wrong with me! What Da Zongzheng and those courtiers accused, the retainers did not know. Moreover, Erchen didn't believe that the people of the East Palace would do anything wrong...... Father, please call the shots and order a thorough investigation. ”

Prince Liu Ju's words were filled with vague anger and deep disbelief. He asked himself with a clear conscience, so he seemed to be confident, and he did not intend to admit his mistake.

The emperor's face was a little gloomy. Although the prince is simple-hearted, sometimes he admits death. It seems that it will take a little effort to make him truly understand what he wants to express. Thinking of this, he was patient and gestured to the chief eunuch beside him. The great eunuch who had served him for many years hurriedly shouted at the door.

"Your Majesty has a decree, pass on the embroidery clothes and guards to command Jiang Chong to see!"

When the door of the temple was opened, someone answered the promise. Then I saw a handsome young man dressed in embroidered clothes and costumes walking in quickly, bowing down to salute the emperor.

"Humble Jiang Chong, meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

The emperor reclined on the large brocade couch and waved his hand slightly, allowing him to be free of courtesy. Then he asked the prince to stand up as well.

"Jiang Chong, since the whole matter has been investigated by the embroidered clothes guard from beginning to end. Then you can tell the prince, so that he can understand what kind of mistake he has made in this process! ”

The hall is surrounded by wide hanging windows, and the hanging beaded curtains are blown by the wind, making a slight noise. Countless elite guards loyally guard every important position. The crown prince Liu Ju looked at the newly rising son of heaven with a face full of consternation, and didn't understand what kind of enmity he had with him. Why would they send people who are full of food to investigate and deal with the people in the East Palace!

Jiang Chong's face did not have any expression. After he routinely gave the crown prince a salute, he straightened up and was already solemn and businesslike.

"It is thanks to the grace and trust of His Majesty that we have come to this point. Naturally, I will do my best to solve problems and eliminate hidden dangers for His Majesty. Recently, Xiuyiwei accidentally found out that Wei Wen, a subordinate official of the East Palace, instructed his entourage to kill people on the streets of Chang'an, which was really arrogant. After receiving the report, he didn't dare to slack off, although he knew that this was the prince's person, he still led the crowd to bring the person back, wanting to investigate. But I didn't expect that I didn't know if I didn't ask, and after a detailed investigation, I found out that some of the actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were also involved...... Regarding this, the humble post has been reported to His Majesty separately. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chong paused. As if he had predicted that the prince would definitely ask a rhetorical question, he nodded to the prince Liu Ju, who was just about to speak.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't worry, in fact, there are no other things that are too serious. According to Wei Wen, he followed the prince to the royal palace that day to appease the foreign dignitaries, but he wanted to attract some fame for the prince and leave a good impression of virtue and generosity. Oh, he also said, by the way, to tell the prince what he meant, and to collect some treasures and belongings, so that they can be used as important things in the East Palace...... These things were all confessed by Wei Wen himself. The humble position is just reported according to the facts, and he does not dare to speculate in the slightest, which His Majesty understands, and I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also understand. ”

There was silence in the palace, only Jiang Chong's voice was talking. The crown prince Liu Ju opened his mouth, wanting to defend something, but after looking at the emperor's face, he swallowed back silently. At this moment, he didn't want to say anything, he wanted to listen from beginning to end. It's a blessing or a curse, let my father fall!

Moreover, just when the lowly sent people to investigate the details of the people who died on the streets, they did not expect that an even more serious incident had happened! According to the investigation, in order to appeal for grievances, the relatives of the deceased had no choice but to stop the carriage patrolling the city on the street, wanting to seek justice. However, after the grievance was brought back by the imperial history, he was never heard from and disappeared. Later, after learning the news, he followed this clue and led his brothers to confront the Imperial Historian in court. After some competition, Yu Shi finally admitted that he was also instructed by others to kill the wrongdoers...... At the foot of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, such a thing happened, and it was very scary to think about it! Therefore, he did not dare to slack off, so he reported the cause and effect of the investigation to His Majesty...... As for the crookedness behind this, it is natural that His Majesty will make a clear decision. That's all the lowly knows. ”

Prince Liu Ju's heart was pounding violently, and he knew that his face must be extremely ugly now. Even if he had no experience, he now understood that there was an invisible net firmly over his head. No matter who the ultimate instigator behind this is, and no matter what kind of goal is to be achieved, the first target must be him Liu Ju!

"Prince, do you understand?"

Emperor Liu Che's tone did not change in the slightest, indifferent and alienated. The crown prince nodded a little blankly, he barely suppressed the sadness and anger in his heart, and finally mustered up the courage to say something, but saw the emperor wave his hand and let Jiang Chong and everyone retreat.

"I made you the crown prince, and after so many years, I have been cultivating you carefully. Now I can rest assured that I will hand over the power of the government to you. What is it that you do? DID YOU KNOW? ”

Inside the empty palace, the emperor's deep voice echoed. There was only a conversation between father and son, and there were some real thoughts in his heart, and he had to take this opportunity to make this heir whom he had chosen completely understand.

"The father's good intentions, the sons and daughters naturally understand! However, the storm that is now happening against the retainers is absolutely out of nowhere, and it is a naked conspiracy...... Father, please be clear! ”

Liu Ju said loudly with some resentment. Dazong Zhengliu did not know the blatant provocation in the court and Jiang Chong's deliberate targeting, and he did not believe that there was no connection between the two. Some forces in the court and the palace have already united, and they have taken this opportunity to attack themselves. It has nothing to do with whether it is just or not, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong, but it is entirely about interests.

"You don't have to say much. No matter what happens, I will naturally see the merits clearly, and I will have a clear judgment in my heart. However, you yourself must also understand that in such a short period of time when you have presided over the affairs of the imperial court, you have caused such a serious turmoil, what does this mean? Even an old minister of the clan like Liu Buzhi did not hesitate to take the risk of openly opposing the future emperor to take the opportunity to make trouble...... Haven't you really seriously considered the deep meaning behind this? ”

Emperor Liu Che looked at his son's face and led the topic in the direction he wanted to express in a serious tone. The crown prince Liu Ju was full of surprise, and he asked in amazement.

"They, don't they just look at the youth of their sons, that's why they take the opportunity to provoke like this! Anything else is beyond the understanding of the sons. Father......

"If you think so, you couldn't be more wrong! The vast mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty will be completely handed over to you sooner or later. Everyone knows this. And the reason why they braved the world's condemnation and attacked you, the crown prince, was not only to express their loyalty to me, but to maintain the absolute status of the Liu Emperor and Han family in this dynasty......! ”

In His Majesty the Emperor's tone, the four words "Emperor Liu Han Family" were bitten very hard.
