King Yi's Mansion, underground darkroom.

Not long after Xie Peng stepped back, Yin Zhuang gave Hai Shi medicine in the inner room, Hai Yan was stunned for a while, and also came back to his senses: "This is the detailed information I just got this morning."

Hai Yan hurriedly took out a neatly folded note from his sleeve and handed it to King Yi, while saying: "On the morning of the 19th, the imperial history ordered Zeng Zhiyun to consult with the criminal department Shangshu Lou Jingquan and more than ten important ministers of the court and the central government to play a book, listing and exposing several old serious crimes of the prince, directly reprimanding the prince for his immorality, and the people who seconded the proposal in the court."

Hai Shi took the note and glanced at it, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "Most of these people are from the East Palace Party, as well as the Neutral Party, and we and Ruiwang's people only account for four in total."

"And these four people didn't play a big role in this incident, Xu Qiu and Liu Yetang secretly told their mother that they had found some mistakes (mistakes) of the prince, but it didn't work out, and the mother didn't care too much."

"Counseling Doctor Lu Shouren, Household Squire Zhou Qianwen, the two of them were the first to obey the orders of the East Palace, and this Zhu Shan, who is in the Central Pavilion, is a disciple of Fu Lao Zhongzheng of Bian Yunshan, and he is also a die-hard loyal to the East Palace" Hai Shi stretched out his finger to show Hai Yan, his brows tightened, and he was puzzled.

"There is also this imperial history order Zeng Yun, Dali Temple Qing Shao Wu and the two of them are only loyal to their father, and they have never set foot in party disputes, and my mother and I are also puzzled"

"On what charges did they sue the prince?"

One accused the crown prince of monopolizing the production and sale of sea salt in the coastal areas under his father's policy of "living with the people's livelihood and private salt and iron", competing with the people for profit, and evading commercial taxes and making huge profits. the second accused the prince of autocratic power, and the auxiliary government of the East Palace wantonly belittled and killed people who disagreed with his political views or committed petty crimes and punished Zhu Lian, reprimanding him for being unkind; The three blamed the prince for allowing his officials to commit serious crimes such as adultery (adultery), accepting bribes, and imposing taxes without proper punishment, and reprimanded him for incompetent management and unethical crimes, and the prince confessed. ”

"Prince, deputy master" Hai Shi muttered, "Father and Emperor widely accept advice, care for the people's livelihood, and strictly prohibit officials and traitors, all of these three are the most disgusting and disgusting faults of the father, but the father is shrewd and dotes on the prince for many years, even if he is angry, he should not directly abolish the prince in the court before he orders a thorough investigation, even if the prince confesses, the East Palace Party is mostly officials, and one by one, they will definitely exonerate the prince and ask for a thorough investigation of the case." ”

"It's... Ill-conceived... However, I heard that although the father was angry, the prince confessed in full, and also knelt down to admit the guilt, which made the father also moved, and never mentioned that the prince would be abolished, but later Lou Jingquan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, accused the Ministry of War of deducting the military rations, cotton clothes and materials of the Jiwu Army and the case of Nie Taishou buying officials in Ningcang County who had already closed the case at the behest of the prince, and the prince refused to admit it, not only destroying physical evidence in the main hall, but also... He spoke wildly and punched and kicked the witnesses, causing his father to be furious and wanted to depose the prince, but as soon as he finished saying that he should depose the prince, his father was so anxious that he vomited blood and fainted directly in front of the hundred officials."

Hai Shi tapped his hand on the stone table, and said thoughtfully: "Two old cases that have already been closed are not big cases like the previous ones, how can the prince not dare to admit it?" ”

"Yu'er thinks that the prince is upright and has always dared to act, and no matter whether the prince has done it or not, even if he admits these two cases, the situation will never be worse than now" If you change to someone else, there may be people who are afraid of the emperor's punishment and dare not admit their guilt, but the prince... Emperor Lin has been spoiling the prince for a long time, and he has long developed his unruly temperament of daring to act and dare to be angry and dare to speak.

"Unless... There are more big secrets hidden behind these two cases."

Hai Shi was silent for a while before he said, "Father... It's okay."

"Not so good... I've been unconscious for the past two days, and the doctors can't see why, but I went to Master Xuanji today to ask for a prescription, and I don't know if it works."

Haishi nodded and did not speak. After a while, he said: "There are three main doubts in this matter, the matter is serious, and I must personally enter the palace tomorrow to discuss with my mother."

"My brother rushed back all the way, he was seriously injured, and he had to be careful about everything"

"Don't worry, I'll come back all the way, and Ji Yang, the person who recognized this king, has all been dealt with" Hai Shi paused: "Yan'er, Jin Yan and Hua Aya..."

"I already know that I will deal with Jin Yan's matter, but Hua Aya..." Hai Yan shook his head: "Send someone to inform Hua Xiu first, and see what she means"

"Good. It's not too early, you go back early, don't make people suspicious."

"Ji Yang come with me, Yin Zhuang, you send us out first and then stay to take care of Brother Wang"

When Hai Xiang returned to the Yan Hui Dock, it was already past the ugly time, only to see Qingqiu and Yi lying on the bed, Cen Wan was sitting in front of the bed, and the two saw Hai Xiang coming back, so they hurriedly greeted her, changed out of her soaked night clothes, and dried her body again, and Hai Xiang lay down and rested for a while.

In the early morning of the next day, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the weather was clear.

King Rui was dressed neatly, thinking about the current situation in his heart, Jiang Yanzhong was terminally ill, and his days were short, so he couldn't help but be anxious, so he prepared a decoction and planned to visit Mr. Jiang in person, and by the way, he asked him for advice on what to do with the recent incidents. Jiang Yanzhong is the strategist of King Rui's Mansion, scheming, wise, and handsome, but unfortunately he is seriously ill all day long, King Rui treats him well, and lets him lie on the bed with all kinds of precious medicinal materials to serve constantly, so he barely hangs on his life.

As soon as King Rui lifted his feet and went out, someone next to him came to report, saying that he found that Ping Luo had been assassinated in the ditch at the side door, and there was no trace of fighting back, King Rui frowned, and said: "Her martial arts skills will not be bad, how can she have no power to fight back"

"The opponent shot extremely fast, it should be a knife to seal the throat"

King Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Useless things, throw them away"

Apple's task is complete, and it doesn't matter what kind of person he is.

"By the way, how is the manpower arrangement along the way in Xinnan, in just these few days, he will definitely come back" King Rui said as he walked, suddenly stopped, raised his hand and said solemnly: "Especially near the capital, it must be strictly guarded, and he must not be allowed to enter the city for half a step."

"Yes, my subordinates understand" The man peeked at King Rui, and seeing that he was in a good mood, he said boldly: "But... Last night, we arranged for someone in the western suburbs to fight a gang of bandits... It rained heavily last night, and many clues were washed away by the water, subordinates...."

"Getting to the point"

"Annihilation..."

"Don't report this kind of inconsequential matter in the future," King Rui sneered, extremely impatient.

"Lord Wang... Be... I... Our people, the whole army ... Destroyed"

King Rui sneered on his face, his face was pale, and his tone was cold: "What did you say!" Say it again to the king!"

Rui Wang and the two had actually walked to the door of Mr. Jiang's courtyard, and the movement was not small, Jiang Yanzhong happened to hear it inside, so he struggled to sit up, and the servant boy took a mountain silk square pillow for him to lean on, Jiang Yanzhong closed his eyes and pondered.

"A gang of bandits? The rabble? Will the king's well-trained elite be wiped out? You'd better explain it to the king! King Rui flicked his sleeves and said angrily.

When the man arrived, he kowtowed and pleaded, "The prince is angry, that gang of thieves has been in the western suburbs for many years, and there are many of them..."

Before he finished speaking, King Rui raised his foot and kicked him out, "Didn't you say that there were traces of the rain last night?" Where did you see the crowd of people? ”

"Lord, Lord, Lord, a group of thieves really don't have this ability, but listening to the people guarding King Yi's Mansion reply, yesterday afternoon, there was a new group of princes' people outside King Yi's Mansion... Presumably, the prince in the western suburbs also sent someone."

"Go on"

"Yes. Indeed, the western suburbs were eroded by the torrential rain last night, and the traces of the fight were gone, but the subordinates carefully examined their wounds, including knife and axe wounds, sword wounds, dark dart wounds, and poisonous needles and poisonous powder, the wounds were of different depths, and some of our twenty elites were full of knife and axe wounds, and some of them had no scars on their bodies, but all their internal organs were broken, which shows that the murderer's internal strength is extremely high, and it must not be as simple as a bandit."

"Fu Jing... Finally I couldn't hold my breath anymore" King Rui thought deeply, spoke very slowly, and then muttered softly: "It's not smart to go against this king at this time"

"Lord Wang... The bandits and the prince's men will get together... There must be some misunderstanding."

"This king gives you a day to investigate the whole thing"

After the king finished speaking, he went into the inner room, and the little servant boy saluted when he saw him.

"Mr. Jiang has been fine recently"

Jiang Yanzhong happened to lie down, and the boy replied: "The master just lay down, the prince should come back another day."

"Take care of Mr., this king brought medicine, remember to wait for Mr. to wake up and give him a drink"

"Lord Wang, the master asked me to convey three words to the prince"

"You say"

"In the first sentence, the edict of the abolished reserve has not yet been sealed; In the second sentence, King Yi has outstanding military achievements and outstanding political achievements; The third sentence reminds the villain that the prince must see the situation clearly and seize the right time. ”

After hearing this, King Rui frowned, and his heart was even more irritable, he was secretly happy about this good situation, but he didn't want to be reminded by Mr. Jiang's words, the situation became so precarious, and he was about to ask, but the servant boy took the first step: "Lord Wang, please go back, the master said that this situation is not something he can solve, and he will definitely have another situation in the future."

King Rui stood with his hands in his hands, and after a while, he said gently: "Take care of Mr. to recuperate, if there is a need, just go to the head of the house" After speaking, he ordered people to prepare horses and enter the palace to ask for peace.

Hai Xiang took a nap for an hour, he was extremely sleepy, but he was afraid that the prince and the princess would wait for a long time, so he hurriedly called someone to come in to serve and wash, changed his clothes, hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, and hurried to the door of the house. Sure enough, the crown prince and the princess were already waiting in front of the carriage, Fu Jing was wearing a red orange beaded embroidered plum gown today, her demeanor was quiet and elegant, and the gentle glow slanted over, shining on the lower abdomen that had obviously bulged, as if she had fresh power, infused with the vitality of life, Fu Jing rubbed her hands, raised her eyes to look at the glow in the distance, her face spread a burst of redness, and she couldn't help but smile shallowly, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to bloom, melting the cold arrogance of her body on weekdays, her body looked gentle and soft, and her temperament was dusty, the prince was slightly stunned and pursed his lips, standing against the light, it seems that the edges (leng) are distinct, the face is like a crown of jade, and the two of them respect each other from a distance, harmonious but alienated. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "I am a good couple in the world, but I am addicted to the floating world"
