Chapter 47 III Canonization Ceremony

The canonization of the crown prince in the country of silk was the first major event done by the new emperor Liu Yan after the death of the former emperor Liu Yutong, so the whole ceremony was held very grandly. Especially in the eyes of Gingill, it can only be described as extravagant.

As the newly appointed imperial bodyguard, Ginger was able to participate in this grand event, and was able to stand behind Emperor Liu Yan at the banquet, which made Ginger feel very honored. Looking at the dense civil and military ministers in front of him, the delicacies listed on the table, the jade liquid elixir, and the many graceful women dancing on the side, and the melodious and melodious music, all this is like a scene in the heavenly palace. Especially when Jin Jier saw Her Majesty the Queen, who was not yet a year old and the crown prince Liu Jie was already in his arms, Jin Jill was really shocked by the queen's beauty. Although the queen is sick, she does not have a wild and healthy beauty like the Tuqi woman, but from her there is a kind of softness that makes men can't help but feel a sense of pity, although Ginger is still ignorant of the affairs of men and women, but he can also see that his face is feverish, and his heart beats faster.

However, Jin Jier roughly heard some rumors from Wu Sicheng's mouth, although today's canonization ceremony has ended, but the real drama has not yet been staged. It is unknown how this play will be staged and what effect it will cause after it is staged, so Ginger stared at the emperor Liu Yan intently, waiting for the prologue to begin.

Seeing the ministers toasting each other, the atmosphere of the banquet was extremely warm. Liu Yan stood up with a wine glass in his hand, and said loudly: "In addition to celebrating the canonization of the crown prince today, I also got an unexpected piece of good news. ”

As soon as Liu Yan said this, the ministers immediately quieted down. Liu Yan raised his eyes and looked at the right servant shooting Han Kemin. When Han Kemin saw Liu Yan's gaze, he was suddenly shocked, and the wine glass in his hand could barely hold it. Liu Yan looked at the ministers again. "Today I have a man, this man is named Huknar, a meticulous worker sent to my country by the Turks. It is not surprising that our country is at war with the Turks, and it is not surprising that there are small works infiltrating, but it is strange that this person has a copper coin on his body, and the copper coin hides a silk cloth, which depicts the military deployment and weaponry of the various state capitals in the north of our country. I was amazed by the detail of the content, and the accuracy was impressive! ”

After Liu Yan's words were finished, the entire hall was silent. This is obviously someone in the capital who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and this person must be able to get his hands on the military department. The ministers all knew that Liu Yan would not just catch a Tuqi spy when he said this at this time, so no one dared to squeak.

Liu Yan saw this. Then he continued: "According to this Huknar's confession. He was connected to a beggar who was begging in the capital, and when I sent someone to capture this beggar, I found out that this person was actually the Lord of Shangshu Province to control the revenge and revenge! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers exclaimed, although the transmission system is a fourth-class sesame petty official, but Shangshu Province is under the management of Han Kemin, and this small transmission system is naturally impossible to access such confidential information, so Liu Yan's target is naturally Shangshu Province's servant Han Kemin.

At this time, the cold sweat on Han Kemin's back was already covering his forehead. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister is guilty of negligence, please long live the punishment!" ”

Liu Yan waved his hand and said, "Why should Lord Servant Shoot be in a hurry. It's not over yet. According to the confession of this Qiu Daren, he was only responsible for sending the information out of the city to Hukonar, but this information was taken from someone else. As for the person who gave him information, it was Han Xian, the second housekeeper in your mansion. ”

When Han Kemin heard this, he was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again: "Long live forgiveness!" Long live forgiveness! The old minister really doesn't know the reason! That Han Xian suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday, he must have absconded in fear of crime, and the ministers really didn't know that this son had committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, please long live the investigation! ”

Liu Yan looked at Han Kemin coldly, and said slowly: "Why should Lord Servant Shoot be alarmed, Han Xian, a thief, is not missing, but was captured by my men, and is now being tortured." It's just that this thief's tone is too tight, and he can't ask anything for a while. However, I am also strange, as the second steward of your mansion, he is always afraid of some power, but if he wants to say that he has such a secret matter as my country, I am afraid it is not so easy, so who will be behind him? ”

Before Han Kemin could answer, Empress Dowager Li, who was sitting on Liu Yan's right hand, spoke: "This matter is not trivial, there must be someone behind it, I am afraid that it is still an important minister in the court, the emperor will definitely investigate to the end, find the real culprit, and return Han Servant to shoot an innocence!" ”

When Empress Dowager Li said this, it was tantamount to dismissing the relationship for Han Kemin, although Han Xian was Han Kemin's housekeeper, Liu Yan was not good at directly refuting Empress Dowager Li.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Li said this, Liu Yan hurriedly smiled and saluted the Empress Dowager Li and said: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true, I am also thinking about how an old minister like Lord Servant would do such a treasonous thing?" This matter must be strictly investigated to the end, please rest assured that the Queen Mother. It's just that this thief is unfortunately in the servant shooting adult's mansion, and this investigation will inevitably disturb the upper and lower parts of the servant shooting adult's mansion, and in order to avoid suspicion, it is not easy to participate in it. Then I will make a will. The captured Hu Konar, Qiu Ping and Han Xian were handed over to Dali Temple for strict interrogation, and the real culprit behind the scenes must be found. From now on, Han Servant will temporarily stay in the palace to live, and the affairs of Shangshu Province will be directly represented by Lord An Jingbian, and I will personally inquire about it on weekdays, and the Han Mansion will be temporarily sealed, and the personnel in the mansion must be screened before they can be resettled. This order is valid until the real culprit is identified! ”

Liu Yan said that he didn't give Empress Dowager Li a chance to speak at all. On the surface, these words saved Han Kemin face and did not pursue him, but in fact, he still had to investigate to the end, and even took the opportunity to remove Han Kemin from his post and put him under house arrest. In this way, Han Kemin's party is leaderless, and the queen mother has lost the medium to contact the outside world, the most important thing is that this will has been in effect until the real culprit is found, which means that unless the real prisoner is found, Han Kemin has to be under house arrest all the time, seeing that this year's imperial examination is about to begin, without Han Kemin presiding over the overall situation, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow to his henchmen.

Empress Dowager Li was about to speak, but Liu Yan grabbed in front of her: "Han Aiqing, thank you." ”

Han Kemin trembled and squeezed out those words: "The ministers are grateful." ”

Empress Dowager Li gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you think it's too much for the emperor to treat the old minister like this?" ”

Liu Yan turned around and gave a deep salute, and said: "Queen Mother, Erchen has to stop just so that the servant can clear this suspicion in front of the world, please understand Erchen's intentions." In addition, as the grandmother of the Queen Mother, in order to avoid suspicion, I also ask the Queen Mother and the people in the Queen Mother's palace not to leave the palace for a period of time in the future. ”

"You! What did you say? The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and asked sharply.

Liu Yan was unmoved, and continued: "In addition to the Queen Mother, I also want to ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu to respect himself. Don't act in a down-to-earth manner until the matter is clear, lest it embarrass me! ”

Empress Dowager Li trembled with anger when she heard this, but Liu Xian stood up and saluted: "Obey the will of the Holy Lord." ”

There was not even a single person in the entire hall, and everyone was frightened by Liu Yan's actions. So far, this is the first time that Liu Yan has publicly argued with the Empress Dowager Li and Han Kemin's party, and he dismissed Han Kemin from his position with the first blow. Everyone here has their own ideas. (To be continued......)
