Not long after Prince Hui sat down, Qian Hongyuan, the servant of the Criminal Department, trotted in. As soon as Prince Hui saw him coming, he suddenly got up from his chair, pointed at him with a trembling hand, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you won't hand over the case to him again, right?

The waiter of the Criminal Department knelt down tremblingly and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent and have failed to live up to the emperor's high expectations! This time, my subordinates will definitely do their best to solve this case as soon as possible." ”

"Detective? How long has it been since the last case? Have you broken it to take a look? In short, I can't trust you, you should have given up to the position of a squire a long time ago, and you still dominate the position if you don't have the ability, hum!" Prince Hui pointed to his nose and scolded.

The emperor was also very embarrassed by such a fuss, and what Prince Hui said was also reasonable, the last case had indeed not been solved, but who would it hand over to this murder case if it was not handed over to the Criminal Department? Qian Hongyuan was in the Criminal Department, and he could not be removed from his post, although he was disappointed in the last incident, but now most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were Prince Hui's henchmen, and this Qian Hongyuan was still able to keep himself and did not take refuge in him.

It was precisely because of his refusal to take refuge and his solitude that he was rejected by Prince Hui and instigated the court officials to depose him, and was suppressed by himself.

Even if Qian Hongyuan failed this time, he was loyal to himself, so no matter what, he couldn't be dismissed. Besides, the banquet assassin case itself is also tricky, and you can't blame him entirely.

So, the emperor said kindly: "Brother Wang is angry, Qian Shilang has always done his best, how can the assassin last time was very cunning, and all of them died, it is really not easy to investigate." ”

"Dedication, Your Majesty, how can you handle a case with dedication, you have to have this!" Prince Hui pointed his head with his finger, looking resentful. "Anyway, the minister thinks it's inappropriate to put him in charge. ”

The Criminal Department is in charge of laws and prisons. Shirou is the adjutant of the Criminal Department, mainly the actual executor who assists the chief official of Shangshu to do affairs, and he is not competent without extraordinary brains and work ability, but it is reasonable for Prince Lihui to propose a replacement even if he is dissatisfied, so as not to speak ill of a colleague in person, and Shilang is generally mainly responsible for adjudicating cases. For example, the investigation of the case, the autopsy, etc., will also be in charge of the person who specializes in this position, but people think that there is a truth, one soldier bears, one will bear the bears, and if the matter is not done, it must be that you are the leader who has no ability.

And Prince Hui felt that this Qian Shilang was really ignorant, and he always looked like he was high-minded, and he was not so obedient to himself like other officials, so Prince Hui had long wanted to provoke him, but this Qian Shilang was not drunk and wealthy, and there was no such thing as corruption and perversion of the law, except for his stinky temper, he really couldn't find his fault, and now is the time.

But Prince Hui spoke to the emperor so repulsively, it was too arrogant, everyone in the house was afraid of Prince Hui's power, they didn't dare to say much, just stared at the emperor to see how he responded, and in fact, they secretly sweated for Prince Hui, this courage is too big, no matter how powerful you are, you are also a courtier, refute the king, what do you want to do?

Hetai on the emperor's side frowned slightly, not long after he returned from the battlefield, he had also heard of Prince Hui, but he never thought that he would dare to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor.

The emperor did not respond immediately to Prince Hui's words, but just picked up the tea cup on the table, took two sips, shook his hand slightly, and a few drops of water in the cup spilled and fell on the robe.

The emperor is also angry in his heart, it seems that this Prince Hui is now more and more not in his eyes, regret regret that he should not believe in him so much at the beginning, should not let him develop freely, but the situation at that time, he could not do the best of both worlds, his father passed the throne to himself when he was dying, and he was afraid that several royal brothers would covet him, so he would be the right prince who seemed to be loyal and indisputable, and entered the court, in order to assist himself.

After ascending the throne, there were indeed some people who were ready to move, and Prince Hui did suppress, resist, and resist for himself at that time. Calmed down some things, and then he was young and vigorous, in order to make meritorious contributions to consolidate the imperial power, he drove the pro-conquest, went for a few years, and came back when he became famous, Prince Hui was already prosperous in the court, although he found his wolf ambitions, but at this time it was too late to suppress it, his power has spread all over the court, and the whole body is affected, sometimes I am thinking, if it is not for Prince Hui's nameless, I am afraid that he will rebel when he goes out to fight.

He won the battle and had a good reputation, but he was injured in many places, and since then his body and bones have been damaged, and then he has a headache and abdominal pain, and he is even weaker for the affairs of the court, and Prince Hui seems to be very instigated, and the civil and military officials are acting according to his eyes.

If Linlang marries the crown prince, she will be the crown princess in the future, the future queen, Prince Hui cherishes Linlang very much, for the sake of his daughter, he may not covet the throne again. Otherwise, with Heyan's temperament is so gentle, I am afraid that it will be difficult to contain him in the future, but after the marriage, Princess Hui just happened to pass away, Prince Hui proposed to let Linlang keep filial piety for his mother for three years, the truth of this reason is speculative, now three years have arrived, and the wedding date is not far away, but this happened again, looking at Prince Hui's current attitude, I really can't figure out his intentions, so I don't know how to respond for a while.

The king of a country does this, he also regrets it, for Prince Hui's eyes without a king, even if he is angry, he can only endure it for the time being, how can the person who can sit on the throne be an idle person, can control himself is the least ability, the husband can endure the world's unbearable, so he can do what the world can't do.

The emperor thought about drinking tea, he put down the teacup, his face did not show anger, and said with a pleasant face: "I have ordered the Sentencing Department to be involved in this case at the same time, if Brother Wang has doubts about Qian Shilang's ability to do things, there is no need to mind, at the same time, the Commander of the Guards has led the guards to search the whole palace, and the whole city has also been strictly banned, and he will make every effort to investigate and arrest the murderer, Brother Wang can rest easy, the important thing at the moment is that the deceased is the greatest, and the burial is safe, and it is important to arrange the funeral of the old lady as soon as possible." ”

The emperor was not angry, did not ask for the guilt, he had already given him enough face, but Prince Hui was obviously still dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry? How many days have it been since the previous case? The case has not been closed so far, how can the minister rest assured? The revenge of killing the mother is not shared, and the minister cannot wait indefinitely, the emperor had better give a time limit, three days, seven days, or ten days? If the case is not solved at that time, please allow the minister to personally bring someone into the palace to search to avenge his mother." ”

When the emperor heard this, he snorted coldly in his heart, this was a bargain with himself, asking himself for a time limit? He also wanted himself to allow him to bring someone to investigate? If he brought a group of soldiers into the palace to search for what kind of system, how could the palace be the palace of Prince Hui, and he said that he would bring troops to come? His confrontation with himself was already a concession if he did not pursue it, and he forced it so much.

"Your Majesty, the other ministers still have something to say, the criminal department Shangshu has left office for several months, and it is long overdue for someone to fill the vacancy, the ministry has repeatedly played, but the emperor has not approved, a master official, the hearts of the subordinates will be scattered, and the work will be delayed, I hope that the emperor will establish the candidate for the Shangshu as soon as possible, and also supervise the handling of the case. Prince Hui said again.

Everyone was a little confused at this time, is this coming for the mother's funeral, or is it talking about the government?

When the emperor saw that he changed his words and mentioned this matter again, his heart was also a sigh, not to mention that the people recommended by the officials were all Prince Hui's henchmen, which was useless, and he actually wanted to promote Qian Hongyuan to the main position in his heart, so he handed over the case of the banquet assassin to him, and after doing it well, he had a reason to promote him. It's a dilemma.

"I have my own opinions on this matter, and the prime minister doesn't need to say much. The emperor said coldly. From calling him Prince Hui to becoming prime minister, it shows that the emperor has been angry, so that the emperor is unwilling to call him by the royal line at this time, but calls him an official position as a monarch and minister.

This Prince Hui has really done too much, after all, he is a courtier, but he has overstepped his authority to manage the emperor, and he is so arrogant.

"Your Majesty, the minister is the prime minister, and he should share the worries for the emperor, but the ministers are just worried about state affairs for the emperor, why didn't the emperor even let the ministers say it. "Prince Hui is aggressive.

Hetai suddenly took a few steps forward, stood in front of him, and said coldly: "Prime Minister, since ancient times, the monarch is the master, the minister is the auxiliary, and sharing worries for the monarch does not mean that you have to be the master for the monarch, nor does it mean that you can disobey the holy will, the emperor let the prime minister not have to say much, you just shut your mouth." ”

It's really noisy, the emperor asked him not to say it, but he couldn't bear it anymore and came out to stop him, although the emperor cared little about himself, but after all, it was his father, how could he allow others to bully him like this.

"You...... Second Prince, why are you talking like that?" Prince Hui was stunned for a moment, this Hetai actually openly said such ugly things to himself.

"Am I wrong?" said Hetai's face was frosty. Asked rhetorically.

"Of course you are at fault, I am the prime minister, and I have the right to intervene when talking about the government with the emperor? Prince Hui said angrily, thinking that the emperor has not done anything, what can you do when you come out?

He glared at Hetai, wanting to be more rampant and arrogant, but somehow he felt that he felt a coercion when he stood in front of him, Hetai's eyes were as black as ink, cold as stagnant water, and he also stared at himself, as if he could see himself thoroughly, and even his own inner thoughts could be penetrated.

"Uncle Wang?" Hetai sneered a few times, a chill appeared in his eyes, and he said: "If you talk about selfishness, your nephew should indeed call you Uncle Wang, but since you are talking about selfishness, the emperor is also your imperial brother, if Uncle Wang wants your nephew to respect you as an elder, then should you also respect your imperial brother first? You say that I have no respect for the elder, yes, I am a martial artist, and I am indeed reckless and rude, and you are a dignified prime minister who knows etiquette and etiquette, but do you have your imperial brother in your eyes?"

"And if it's about the public, you won't know the difference between the monarch and the minister, the monarch is heavy and the minister is light, the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, all of which shows that the king is supreme, the emperor arranged for someone to investigate the case, you are dissatisfied, and the emperor understands that you have just lost your mother and will not be held accountable. You actually forced the emperor to establish a candidate for Shangshu, and the emperor expressed his own opinions, so that you don't have to say much, and you dared to blame the emperor for not letting you speak. You have repeatedly violated the emperor's orders and disobeyed the holy will, and everything is a capital crime! It is not an exaggeration to copy your Prince Hui's mansion. It's just that the emperor is benevolent, and the love of brotherhood doesn't do anything to you, not only do you not miss the emperor's grace, but you also want to provoke and commit crimes, you are too ignorant of current affairs!"

Hetai's words were cold and sharp, like a sword. Immediately, Prince Hui was terrified. Prince Hui took two steps back, and even though he was unwilling in his heart, he didn't dare to attack again.

The terms and conditions of Hetai have been made clear, and the people in this house have also witnessed it from the beginning to the end, and they can't deny it if they want to. The emperor is the emperor of the Ninety-Five, the king of the world, Chrysostom and Yuyan say the same, how can you refute it, not to mention that you are still deliberately provoking, what if you are in a high position of power? What about the power leaning towards the government and the opposition? As long as it is not at the juncture of rebellion, no matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you can respect the emperor, even if it is pretending.

Alas, it seems that he is too anxious, the emperor's concession and weakness over the years, let him think that he can be bullied, the prince is a gentle and indisputable generation, in the marriage contract, or his own virtuous son-in-law, so there is no fear, I didn't expect to come back now a Hetai, so uninteresting, but at present I still can't move him, not to mention that he can't afford to offend his martial arts, his military power is still in his hands, although his son also has some military power in his hands, but Hetai has the emperor's support, or slightly better.
