Chapter 114: Heartache
"I wanted to see their account books, but Lord Cheng was still reluctant to do this, and said that this matter must be agreed by your father, father, Erchen is coming here now to report this matter, not only that, but Erchen also investigated a murder case."
Cheng Shen knelt down in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, Weichen has always been loyal, and he will never do such a thing, and I hope the emperor will see it." ”
The emperor was a little embarrassed, and he had already wanted to attack the prime minister.
But knowing that the prime minister is high and powerful, if he is moved, it will be the foundation of the imperial court.
"Prime Minister, what do you think about this matter?"
The prime minister said, "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness and Lord Cheng are now expressing their own opinions, it is better to let an unrelated person investigate this matter."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been involved in this matter, let him continue to investigate, presumably this matter will also affect the normal operation of the Hefang Battalion, but if the four princes are allowed to investigate, there may still be people gossiping, and Weichen thinks that he will find someone from the court. ”
"Then tell me, who is the most suitable person in this court?"
"It's better to let Dali Temple investigate."
Ye Lige said, "Father must not, Dali Temple has always been responsible for the mistakes of the royal family, this little Qinglou woman, why bother to let Dali Temple?" ”
The emperor nodded slightly, "What the prince said is also reasonable, we still have to have the face of our royal family, then let the capital Mansion Yin deal with it, this capital affairs should have been made responsible." ”
"That's what the emperor said."
"As for the account book of the river defense battalion, Lord Cheng, you have to hand it over as soon as possible, as the future prince, it is normal for the prince to want to see the account book.
I did say that I would leave this matter to him, so I hope you can cooperate well in the future, of course, I don't want to doubt you, I just want to see the profitability of your river defense battalion. ”
"Yes, the emperor, the lower officials obey the order."
"Stand down, the prince stays."
Ye Lige was a little angry when he saw the emperor, presumably because of what the prime minister said just now.
"Father, this prime minister is still helping the river defense battalion, is it possible that the affairs over there have anything to do with him?"
The emperor glanced at him, and said with some reproach, "Emperor, you are the crown prince, why did you go to investigate the death of this Qinglou woman?" ”
"Father, this matter is obviously Cheng Shen's doing, Erchen already has some evidence, and he can be arrested now."
"Arrested? And then what? Will you put him to death? It's just a fourth-grade official, even if you really kill him, what can you solve?
Emperor, you have to keep your eyes out and know what you should do the most, so doesn't the prime minister know what you have investigated? The evidence you have now is estimated to have already been dealt with. ”
Ye Lige said: "Do you want to let them go like this? ”
"The prime minister is ruthless and calculating, just with your little ability, you want to deal with him, you want to go against him, I'm afraid that there is no chance now, you don't care about this matter, since it has been handed over to the capital mansion Yin, I believe that it will be handled over there."
"Father's ......"
"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, and the recent incident between you and Hong'er, I hope you can do it yourself."
Although the emperor also knows that they are not brothers and sisters, when such a thing happens in the royal family, it will always cause others to gossip, "You have to protect Hong'er, I have nothing to say, but you must pay attention to proportion." ”
Ye Lige didn't want the emperor to blame Ye Yuhong for the matter, so he had to leave.
Moon Tide Pavilion.
Ye Yuhong came out with some snacks, and seeing that Ye Lige's face had not yet shown a smile, she knew a little.
"Could it be that my father is still in trouble with you? Brother Prince, Father may just have figured it out yet, everything you do is for the court, Father should understand it in his heart," Ye Yuhong said to herself, "Like Brother Prince, there are not many people like you in the court, although you only do things with your head down, your father must see it in his eyes." ”
"My father won't allow me to investigate the woman's death again."
"Wouldn't it? But Brother Prince, you already have evidence in your hands now, doesn't your father believe it? ”
Ye Lige said helplessly, "When the palace passed just now, it had already let them take the first step. ”
Ye Yuhong angrily slammed on the table, "Even so, now that the murderer and the prince and brother have been found, is the father still unwilling to punish the murderer?" ”
"Hong'er, this is a matter in the court, not something you can understand."
"Yes, I don't know about this matter in the court, but I can still understand the matter of killing people to pay for their lives."
"That's just a fireworks girl."
Ye Yuhong said, "No matter what her identity is, it's also a human life, right?" The prince's brother said it so lightly, don't you think it's no different from the grass and human life? ”
"Enough, Hong'er," Ye Lige was a little angry, "The emperor actually said that he wouldn't let me take care of this matter, so don't say more, the palace is uncomfortable and go back first." ”
"Hey, Ye Lige, you're the prince, you're not a stingy ghost, I'm telling the truth, you know it very well in your heart," Ye Yuhong didn't expect Ye Lige to be angry with herself, thinking that she was still angry, "I'm kind enough to tell you." ”
Then he sat down in a puff, you don't eat, I'll eat by myself.
Ye Lige was still unhappy in his heart, not only because he didn't let him investigate the cause of the woman's death, but also because the emperor asked him to keep a distance from Ye Yuhong.
Every time, no matter how many troubles there are in your heart, as long as you look at Ye Yuhong, it will disappear.
But as soon as he thought that in the days to come, he might rarely see her, Ye Lige felt that somewhere in his body hurt terribly.
He touched his heart, the pain was unforgettable.
On the other hand, Cheng Shen was happy.
Don't forget to give some gifts, "Thank you Prime Minister for helping the lower officials speak in front of the emperor, a small gift is not a tribute." ”
The prime minister looked at the table, and there were almost ten thousand taels of gold, silver and jewelry.
"Lord Cheng is really generous, aren't you worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrest you?"
Cheng Shen said with a smile, "Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has three heads and six arms, then in front of you, the prime minister, is not just a hairy boy, with the support of the prime minister, I believe that the affairs of the lower officials will be done soon." ”
"Don't be too happy, that Jingcheng Mansion Yin is not an easy person to deal with, he doesn't eat soft and hard, many ministers have gone to him before, but they don't give him any face."
