"Why does Mr. Jiang always doubt me? Although you and I are sharing something now, it is inevitable that there will be times when we disagree. Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a sarcasm in his eyes, "You have followed His Royal Highness King Shou for so many years, you should know better than me that His Highness's hatred is that his subordinates hate each other and love to fight in the nest." His Royal Highness is a person who plans great things, and he can really mess up his plans because of infighting. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yaoguang turned around and disappeared in front of Jiang Huaixin.

Looking at the carriage that gradually disappeared from view, Jiang Huaixin snorted coldly and shook his sleeves and left. Sooner or later, one day he will find out the flaws about Xie Yaoguang, so that His Highness will no longer be deceived and bewitched by her.

In the carriage, Xie Yaoguang took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and sighed. I don't know what the health of the Queen Mother, who I haven't seen for so many years, has been busy playing chess pieces in other places in this palace all these years, but I forgot that there is a person in this palace who once loved me very much.

After pondering for a long time, Xie Yaoguang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the smoke rising from the table. No, she has to find a way to enter the palace to take a look at the Queen Mother in person. I want to have peace of mind.

When Princess Shou arrived at Xue's house, King Shou had already personally taken Xue Wenhan to Jingzhao Yin to find Pei Huai accompanied by Xue Zitang, Pei Huai originally wanted to come to the door to get someone, but he didn't expect Xue Zitang to take the initiative.

And King Shou also praised his conscientious behavior, and had the intention of asking for a reward for him in front of the emperor.

But Pei Huai has served in Jingzhaoyin for so many years, so he naturally understands the truth that no merit is not punished, and with the character of this master, Pei Huai knows that this matter is not so easy.

The Xue family is the Yue family of King Shou in the end. If he arbitrarily promises something that he shouldn't promise, he will be the one who will suffer endlessly.

He politely promised a few words, and personally sent King Shou away. Then he instructed the jailer to treat Xue Wenhan well and not to abuse lynching.

Xie Yaoguang is right, he has always done things for His Majesty. How to deal with this matter still depends on His Majesty's intentions, and it is what he should do to lock people up in Jing Zhaoyin.

Waiting for the palace gate to go together, King Shou led Xue Zitang to kneel down at the door of Emperor Li's bedroom, as if he was guilty of pleading.

When Emperor Li heard the report from the chamberlain and the news he received last night, he sneered but didn't say anything.

Leave directly from the side door and go to Hanyuan Palace, and after a while, he instructed the chamberlain to call King Shou to go to the court first, and Xue Zitang went to kneel at the door of the main hall, so that he could meditate on his own mistakes.

King Shou listened to the words of the servant, and for a while he couldn't figure out what Emperor Li thought, so he had to hurry to Hanyuan Palace.

When the prince saw the stunned King Shou, he sneered lightly, it seems that King Shou was deflated in front of his father.

He had received news a long time ago that King Shou had rushed to the palace early in the morning to ask his father for guilt, but what was the use.

It's not a waste of effort. I have long been unaccustomed to his appearance full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and extreme hypocrisy.

At this moment, King Shou had no time to pay attention to the prince's provocative gaze, not to mention that he knew that at this time, only by calming down could he have a chance to turn the situation around.

After the chamberlain sang, Emperor Li had already stepped from the side of the imperial stairs to sit firmly on the Luan throne under the gaze of everyone. The ministers bowed according to the courtesy, shouted long live, and only got up after bowing.

The prince coughed lightly, and under his signal, Jiang Xuelin, who supervised the imperial history, strode out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to report!" Yesterday in Jingu Garden, Xue Zitang's second son, Xue Wenhan, committed murder and killed innocent people. Now this case is already rumored among the people! ”

"Oh? What are the folk rumors? Emperor Li glanced at King Shou and raised his head to ask.

"The people all said that King Shou bent the law for personal gain, deceived and concealed it! Shielding his wife and brother with the power in his hands, and ignoring people's lives in vain ..... law" came out to answer the Yushi Taicheng - Zhang Qiu, who is also a party of the prince. He saw that Emperor Li's face was gloomy, and he didn't finish his words for a long time, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive Weichen, Weichen really doesn't dare to say the following words." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Li couldn't help but be furious and reprimanded: "If you have anything to say, the duty of the Imperial Historical Observatory is to impeach hundreds of officials!" What does this babbling look like! ”

"Your Majesty is angry! It's not that Weichen doesn't want to talk about it, but ....." Zhang Qiu made a frightened look, hesitated for a while and said: "The people say that His Royal Highness King Shou can be the crown prince with this behavior!" How can the country have such a prince who is immortal. ”

As soon as Zhang Qiu's words were finished, everyone in the Hanyuan Hall was silent for a moment, and everyone involuntarily slowed down their breathing, for fear that one would accidentally attract the wrath of the Son of Heaven. They all hung their heads, and no one dared to look at the faces of the emperors again.

Emperor Li's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally fell on the top of King Shou's head, under Emperor Li's cold gaze, King Shou only felt that there seemed to be a thorn in his back, and he seemed to be forced to kneel on the ground immediately.

"Father Emperor Mingjian! Erchen had no intention of shielding Xue Wenhan, and Erchen had already personally sent him to Jingzhaoyin to wait for his fate. Erchen knew that Xue Wenhan should have been sent to Jingzhaoyin last night, but because Mrs. Xue suddenly fell ill last night, she felt pity for a while and delayed it until today, and hoped that his father would deal with this matter lightly. King Shou then bowed three times to Emperor Li, and said in a deep voice: "Erchen also specially asked Pei Huai in Jing Zhaoyin just now, it turned out that the person Xue Wenhan killed by mistake was actually a smuggler of salt, and the smuggling of salt insulted the Xue family, and Xue Wenhan was excited to beat people to death for a while. ”

King Shou deliberately bit the word smuggler very hard, and sure enough, Emperor Li's gaze at him revealed a little doubt.

His father is really the most suspicious.

"Illicit salt dealers? Get up first. Emperor Li seemed to think of something, took his eyes off King Shou, his face softened slightly, and then he looked at Xia Fu, "Xia Fu, I remember that a few days ago, you said that you got a line report that there was a batch of illegal salt, and it entered the capital with the Caoyun official ship, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Your Majesty does have this matter, but that group of people is extremely cunning and knows the terrain of the capital very well. Although Weichen's people couldn't catch up completely, they still found some clues. Xia Fu glanced at the prince and then said in a deep voice.

"Tell me what you find."

Sensing that someone was staring behind him with hatred on his face, Xia Fu had no fear on his face, but raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Yes." His Majesty's subordinates followed that group of people, and found that they disappeared as soon as they arrived near the Guangzhai Fang, and Weichen thought that the batch of private salt must still be hidden in the Guangzhai Fang, and begged His Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly! ”

Emperor Li's cold gaze swept over the courtiers again, and the suspicion in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

What is Hikarihakubo? Most of the people who lived in Guangzhai were important members of the imperial court. The meaning of Xia Fu's words was to tell Emperor Li that someone in this court was selling illicit salt without authorization to seek benefits.

"Father! Don't hide it from you, Erchen also overheard some rumors that a batch of illicit salt will enter Beijing with the official ship of Caoyun in the near future, and after learning the news, he sent someone to investigate, and it was easy to get the news so he sent Xue Wenhan to test the truth, but he never thought that the smuggled salt dealer would be so hateful. King Shou's voice was extremely gentle, but it seemed to cause a lot of waves in the ears of the courtiers, "Erchen asked Pei Huai this morning, and those few smuggler salt dealers did have a particularly arrogant attitude, as if someone was behind them. ”
