"Madam, the weather is a little cold, you go back and rest for a while, and go to court for your husband!"

"It's okay, the concubine is not cold, she is breathable at the door, and it is not in the way."

Zhou Xin sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked at the figure of his wife at the door, waved goodbye, and when he couldn't see it, Zhou Xin sighed softly, then put down the curtain and fell into thoughts:

Today is the second day of the third month, the day of the Great Dynasty, and I have to read a book today, urging His Majesty to quickly complete the case of King Chu and King Tai. This case has been dragging on for more than two months, and as the presiding judge, he has already concluded the trial in early February and submitted it to His Majesty, but His Majesty has been dragging it out and has not replied to himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xin shook his head, he could understand His Majesty's difficulties, His Majesty's embarrassment was the handling of the King of Chu and the King of Tai, but it was a pity that this matter was too sensitive and ordinary people couldn't speak. But it's about to be the spring boudoir, the scientific expedition is the great ceremony of the country, things can't be delayed, you can't celebrate in the city, kill people outside the city, this is also unlucky!

Looking back on these months, Zhou Xin feels like a dream, he entered the country in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu as a tribute, and it has been more than ten years since today, starting from the Dali Temple to evaluate things, and gradually supervising the imperial history, although it is famous for being good at judging prisons, and is known as "cold face and cold iron", but the career has not been smooth.

The turning point came in October last year, when he was supervising the imperial history, and by chance, he encountered the murder of the chief flag of the investigation department. It didn't take long for His Majesty to summon him at the Wenhua Hall in Beijing, and this summoning changed his fate.

Zhou Xin still remembers the scene of the day, His Majesty asked the most is not the case, but his own family situation, when he heard that he was from Nanhai, Guangdong, his name was "Zhixin", and the word "Rixin", His Majesty looked a little strange, as if he remembered something from the past, and then gave himself the name "Xin", so that he changed from Zhou Zhixin to Zhou Xin. However, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that His Majesty immediately ordered himself to go to Beijing to investigate the case of the investigation department. During his stay in Beijing, the Security Department, the Investigation Department, the Intelligence Department, and even the Guards had to obey their own dispatches, and after His Majesty returned to Beijing, he immediately promoted himself to the right attendant of the Criminal Department to preside over the case of King Chu.

Between the ten months, from the supervision of the imperial history to the right attendant of the criminal department, the grade has also changed from the seventh grade to the third grade, and this kind of promotion speed can no longer be described by the green smoke from the ancestral tomb. During this time, those who knew themselves or those who didn't know themselves were extremely curious about this matter, and they inquired about the secrets of their success, but unfortunately, nothing was inquired.

In fact, Zhou Xin himself didn't understand why he was appreciated by His Majesty, but in order to repay His Majesty's kindness, he could only do his best, follow the vine, chase down the traitorous party, dig out the main culprits and henchmen one by one, and let them be punished by national law, in addition, Zhou Xin doesn't know what else he can do.....

Chu Wangfu.

"Sixth brother, you, you, do you really want to do this?"

The green tendons on Zhu Chun's forehead of the King of Shu burst out, grabbed the paper in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Tiger poison is not yet a child, Meng Zhao and Meng Ji are still so young, how can you bear it?" ”

Zhu Zhen, who had not slept all night, had half of his hair turned white, and he described it as withered, with deep eye sockets and a messy beard, like a half-dead person. He slowly raised his head, looked at his brother with godless eyes, and wanted to speak, but his face turned red, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Zhu Chun, who was looking at him with disdain, was caught off guard, and was sprayed with blood all over his face.

Zhu Chun was shocked, he didn't care about wiping the blood on his face, but hurriedly held Zhu Zhen's crumbling body and shouted, "Sixth brother, sixth brother, what's wrong with you?" Imperial Doctor, Quickly Pass on Imperial Doctor! ”

......

"Lord Wang, Lord Yang, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is overthinking, his body is weak, coupled with sudden sorrow and joy, and his heart is in a hurry. Weichen has already given medicine to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and he has already fallen asleep. ”

"Ao, is Brother Wang's body important?"

"At present, there is no major problem, and His Highness's vomiting of blood this time is actually good for his body, because what he vomited was the blood in his body. As long as you take care of it, you can recover quickly. ”

"Well," Zhu Chun hesitated slightly, turned his head to look at Yang Rong who was standing beside him, and then turned his head and said, "Okay, when Brother Wang wakes up, this king will call you over for treatment." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

......

Looking at the back of the imperial doctor, Zhu Chun smiled bitterly, and he looked at Yang Rong: "Lord Yang, what do you think should be done?" ”

Yang Rongtian came over last night, and has been waiting for the King of Chu to make a decision, Zhu Yunwen gave him the task of getting the name written by Zhu Zhen, and this person can be pardoned, now Zhu Zhen is in a coma, Zhu Chun is a little hesitant, I don't know if to follow the newspaper written before.

Seeing the King of Shu asking, Yang Rong first saluted the King of Shu, then looked back at the King of Chu in the inner room, and said with a wry smile: "Lord, what do you think?" ”

"Alas," Zhu Chun sighed heavily, got up and walked out of the room, Yang Rong saw this, and hurriedly followed.

Zhu Chun looked at the white belly of the fish in the east, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes: "He is the sixth brother of this king, when his father was here, the family was harmonious and happy, why did he come to this step today?" ”

"......" Yang Rong looked at the King of Shu fixedly for a while, then turned his head and said: "Okay, Weichen will report according to what the King of Chu wrote just now, and the prince can rest assured!" ”

"Peace of mind?" Zhu Chun turned his head to look at the front yard, where there was still the sound of singing and dancing, and even the screams and laughter of women, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, unable to help himself......

Looking at the King of Shu who was squatting on the ground and covering his face and crying bitterly, a strange look appeared on Yang Rong's face. After a while, he bowed and turned away. Along the way, he saw a large number of brocade guards, who were not only responsible for the final execution, but also for the guards before the execution. Although the people in the house were all dying people, no one dared to treat them slowly, and even sent a large number of delicious food and wine according to their requirements, and even accompanied by singers......

In the front yard, Yang Rong explained a few words to Fu Rang, who was in charge of the execution, and then got into the carriage and rushed to the imperial city.

......

Leaning on the chair of the carriage, Yang Rong's face showed a knowing smile, the male of the Chu Wangfu can leave one person, which can be said to be the emperor's grace is mighty, but it can also be said to be extremely cruel. This suggestion was made by Yang Rong, which is why he will appear here today.

The king of Chu was originally detained in the Zongren Mansion, while the family members of the king of Chu were detained in the palace of the king of Chu and could not see each other, but last night, the king of Chu was taken to the palace of the king of Chu, where he would make a decision on who would live. And when he was entangled, the front yard was filled with the sound of drunken dreams and death......

After Wang Du's death, Yang Rong immediately found an opportunity, and that was the opportunity to become His Majesty's chief advisor. In his opinion, although Xie Jin is talented and world-class, he is not familiar with general affairs, and always takes what he reads in books seriously, which is simply an old food and no need to worry; Yang Shiqi was displaced in his early years, and developed his cautious and observant character, although he was brilliant and understood the hardships of the people, but his lack of military affairs was indeed his biggest weakness; The new Wang Gen dares to do anything, but his actions are a little old-fashioned, not good at flexibility, and his appearance is a little ugly, which is a taboo for officials. As for Liu Jing, he was born in a family, he can't put down his body when he acts, he is not meticulous enough, and he is not his opponent, plus he is old, it is a matter of time before he retires. Therefore, Yang Rong has carefully observed the emperor's expression for many days, thinking positively, and preparing to respond to the emperor's inquiry.

Therefore, when Zhu Yunwen convened five people to discuss how to deal with the king of Chu, Yang Rong gave this strategy, in his opinion, this can not only reflect His Majesty's benevolence, but also make the person concerned have a heartache, and sometimes, the living can arouse the alarm of the world more than the dead. In contrast, the claims of Xie Jin, Wang Gen, and Yang Shiqi were just acting according to the law and had no bright spots, while Liu Jing's ideas were too merciful, advocating that only one person should be punished by the king of Chu, and the rest should be exiled to the frontier.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen adopted Yang Rong's method, which made Yang Rong very happy, and he also noticed that Liu Jing's expression was unnatural at that time, but Yang Rong didn't care.
