Chapter 783: Eighteen Years of Forbearance

Zhuo Yihan's eyes dimmed, and a deep sense of loss hung on his face, "Xiaoxiao, you don't understand...... Do you know why Qing Xuan doesn't want to see me?"

"Miss has a heart, so I cut off your thoughts. That's what Miss said...... I don't quite understand. โ€

"Huh...... Broke my thoughts...... If you can break your thoughts after closing the door, then why can't Qing Xuan break her thoughts after ten years? If you don't ask why, you can't break this thought for the rest of your life!"

"Do you really want to know?"

A cold voice came into Zhuo Yihan's ears, Zhuo Yihan turned around violently, but saw Qing Xuan appear at the door with an umbrella.

"Seven days ago, you took Brother Lu to the hunting garden to arrest people?"

"Yes! Isn't it what a righteous person should do to report lawless......ness? Isn't it because of the punishment of adultery and the elimination of evil that you have this prestigious name, which makes you so desperate like a moth to a fire?"

"Did you really report the case to Brother Lu in order to report the law? If so, why don't you go early or late at this time? Do you want to say that you just learned about the dirty things in the hunting park?"

"I ......"

Facing Qing Xuan's forced eyes, Zhuo Yihan felt how pale the reason he said. Silently, Zhuo Yihan closed his eyes, "Yes, I just want to test whether Lu Sheng is really so selfless, whether he is really so fearless of power, and whether he is really worthy of the prestige he bears." โ€

"But as a result, Brother Lu has never disappointed Qing Xuan, but Brother Zhuo, you, are too disappointing. Qing Xuan's words pierced Zhuo Yihan's heart like an arrow.

"You have long known about the illegal activities in the hunting garden, but you don't have the courage to expose it, but you want to put Brother Lu in a passive dilemma. If Brother Lu didn't dare to pierce that day, you would use this to slander Brother Lu loudly in front of me, right?

But it's a pity that you were disappointed, Brother Lu not only dared to break this day, but also suppressed the turmoil in the capital with one hand in the palm of his hand. A real hero and a real villain, you are so seen by Qing Xuan, what are you still looking for Qing Xuan for?"

"Real villain, in your heart, am I a real villain?" Zhuo Yihan's eyes widened, and he looked at Qing Xuan with an incredulous face, "Even if I am a real villain, when have I ever been hypocritical to you?"

"If it's not Qing Xuan who knows all this, any woman who knows right from wrong can also see the difference between a true gentleman and a real villain. Brother Zhuo, this is the last time I call you Brother Zhuo, don't look for me again, from now on, you and I are strangers, it's best to never see each other again. Tiny, come back. โ€

"Oh!" Xiaoxiao held the umbrella, looked left and right, and finally obediently followed Qing Xuan into the courtyard gate.

Squeak โ€“

Aoki's courtyard door was closed, and it was as if the door to Qingxuan's heart was completely closed.

In an instant, Zhuo Yihan felt like a knife.

"Real villain...... Hohehe...... I became a real villain...... Not even a hypocrite anymore...... Poofโ€”"

"Miss, do you mean that he is too badly injured?"

"I can bear anyone he calculates, but he dares to calculate Brother Lu, I don't agree. Qing Xuan didn't look back, and said coldly.

The next day, the case of the hunting garden was personally sent to the palace by Lu Sheng, and was personally approved by the emperor.

"Lu Qing......" Ji Zheng covered his forehead with a headache, "You did it...... Good!"

Lu Sheng couldn't bear to look at Ji Zheng, he was so reluctant, so don't say anything against his will. For Lu Sheng, he did his part. For others who were looking forward to the fall of the Three Princes, it was a good thing to see.

But for Ji Zheng, who is the emperor, he hopes that these things have not happened at all. The third prince is his son, the people involved in this case are his courtiers, and the innocent people who were harmed because of the hunting garden are his people.

He didn't want to, and didn't want to see, the bloody reality on the dossier.

And Lu Sheng is just peeling off Ji Zheng's sleepy eyelids and putting these bloody pictures in front of Ji Zheng, you see, this is the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and such a heartbreaking thing has happened.

If we don't do this, we don't know how many people will suffer, and we don't know how big a cancer it will become in the future. However, my heart hurts, my head hurts. This is the truest feeling of Ji Zheng.

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body!" Lu Sheng bowed and said.

"Take care of your dragon...... But look at these brutes, they want to make me angry. Scholar, Marquis, Earl, Viscount...... So many people, on weekdays, are all my ministers, after the meritorious service.

And my son, who was still crying in front of me the day before yesterday, and still unrepentant and said that he didn't know, it was all done by the people below who deceived him...... It's ridiculous. I'm old, but I'm not confused. โ€

Normally, when I say this, I am not far from being confused. Lu Sheng complained from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty, will this case be transferred to the Criminal Department for trial, or will it be transferred to the Inspectorate for trial?"

"Neither the Criminal Department nor the Inspectorate is suitable, I think it's better for the three divisions to interrogate. โ€

"Three Divisions?" Lu Sheng wondered, it seemed that the Criminal Department and the Inspectorate had the authority to adjudicate cases in the capital. One is in charge of civil or criminal cases, and the other is in charge of the cases of officials and nobles.

"Xuantian Mansion does not have the right to judge cases and punish cases, which is deeply heartfelt. However, this case is not trivial, so I don't feel at ease if it is handed over to the Criminal Department and the Inspectorate, and it is still possible for Xuantian Mansion to be interrogated. โ€

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask the clan palace to supervise the trial?" asked Shen Ling from the side.

"Yes, this case involves a lot of money, if there is no royal family in charge, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and the weight of the clan palace is not enough...... You have to be a prince. In this way, let the Seven Princes supervise the trial. Shen Ling, you are going to do it!"

"The minister commanded. โ€

"Retire!"

The Hunting Garden case ended perfectly in the interrogation hall of the Criminal Department, and the confessions and evidence chains after the trial in Xuantian Mansion were complete. In fact, the trial is also a passing scene, and what really matters is the bad connection of the trial.

The severity of the sentence is chilling, and the severity of the sentence is chilling. It is necessary not only to give an explanation to the gate valve Guixun, but also to give an explanation to the people and the world.

And this time, the actions of the Seven Princes can be called perfect, they are not implicated, they are not sitting, they are heavy on the main culprit, and they are heavy on those who take pleasure in torture and killing. But for those who are just looking for thrills and just being a spectator, it is relatively light.

It has not only set an example for others, but has not caused much involvement. Pick it up and put it down, with just the right amount of strength.

Walking out of the gate of the Criminal Department, Lu Sheng and Shen Ling walked side by side, and the others seemed to isolate Lu Sheng and the two from a distance, falling far behind them.

"You can see it, right?" Shen Ling suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"See what?"

"Do you see the emperor's thoughts? I also figured it out in the past two days. After the former emperor asked the Seventh Prince to be the supervisor, I thought about it when I went back. Suddenly, I found out that I had actually gotten into a dead end. โ€

"What dead end?"

"It's not the same time, and it's not 10 years ago. Ten years ago, who else could inherit the throne of the prince except the five princes? But ten years later, the six princes and the seven princes have all grown up......

"It stands to reason that you shouldn't be so slow, right? The little prince is growing up day by day, you shouldn't be watching it, right?"

"I didn't notice it before, but now I suddenly realize it. Then let me ask you, what is your impression of the Six Princes?"

"What is the name of the Sixth Prince?" Lu Sheng suddenly muttered in his heart and asked curiously.

"The Sixth Prince's Banner!" Shen Ling said lightly with a fox-like smile on his face, "Isn't it impressed?" Then do you know what is the age difference between the Sixth Princes and the Fifth Prince?"

"This ...... I know that the age difference between the seventh prince and the fifth prince is nineteen years?

"Can you not mention this stubble? Aren't you thirty-three too?"

"Let's put it this way, the Sixth Prince is only half a year older than the Seventh Prince. โ€

"So, after the five princes, no prince was born for a full seventeen years?"

"Yes, the first prince after the fifth prince was born three years after the emperor ascended the throne, and in the previous seventeen years, there was no one. That year, the five princes were all eighteen years old. โ€

"Why?" Lu Sheng asked suspiciously.

There must be a reason for this, the emperor has not given birth to children for nearly 20 years, either because he can't give birth or because he doesn't want to give birth. Looking at the birth of so many princesses and princes in the back, you know that Ji Zheng's function is good. Then the reason is that I don't want to.

What is the reason for not wanting to?

"I don't know, maybe it's only the old man in my family who knows why. But for sure, there must be a reason. Now you know why everyone seems to be blind and can't see the six princes, the seven princes, the eight princes, and the nine princes, right?

This can't be regarded as a generation at all, nearly 20 years apart! Moreover, the four princes after the sixth prince seem to have been deliberately hidden. If it weren't for the report from the clan family's mansion, the court wouldn't even know that there were those princes.

None of them were kept in the deep palace, let alone in front of people.

But in the past two days, I have been pondering like this, and suddenly I have come up with another flavor. You said that the emperor has been deciding on the prince for a long time, will he be waiting for the younger princes to come of age?"

"Is it meaningful to ponder these?" Lu Sheng was not interested in the battle for the heir, so he was not willing to ponder at all.

"The emperor hated the party struggle for the succession back then, but when he ascended the throne as the emperor, he had not had time to prevent the situation of the five dragons seizing the heir.

Because of this, the emperor secretly hid the remaining princes from their attention, and naturally, the gate lord Guixun would not pull the four princes closer to the whirlpool of seizing the heir.

Now, the four young princes have grown up. There are no people around to stand up...... In this way, the party struggle for succession is eliminated, and it only takes two generations to emulate it to completely eliminate the trouble of party strife. It's high!"

"Then you're not worried?" Lu Sheng looked at Shen Ling with a sly smile.

"What am I worried about?"

"If your fifth prince can't sit on the throne, what will happen to you, the fifth prince, in the future?"

"Don't talk nonsense, although I am inclined to the five princes, I have never been involved in party disputes, at most the new emperor will marginalize me if he doesn't like me. I happened to be guarding Ahri everywhere to play in the mountains and rivers, leisurely. โ€

"If only you could think so. โ€
