Chapter 57: Who Will Preside Judge?
Late that night, in the palace.
Zhao Zhen was called over by the emperor and reprimanded him fiercely.
The emperor sat in the hall, his tone majestic.
"Look at what good you've done!"
Although he was noncommittal in front of Shangshu, the emperor had already decided in his heart that his son had committed such a thing, after all, there was no wind and no waves.
Zhao Zhen must have done something and was caught.
He threw the report letter to Zhao Zhen, and when Zhao Zhen saw the content of the report letter, his face was expressionless, but his brows kept frowning.
Emperor: "Say, what's going on?" ”
"I was wronged." Zhao Zhen replied calmly.
The Emperor sighed heavily.
"I have warned you a long time ago, you must be cautious and cautious in doing things, you are the prince, and you will be entrusted with important tasks in the future, how can you lose a big deal at this time!"
Zhao Zhen knelt there, silent and did not speak.
The Emperor sat down and said in a fatherly tone:
"Take a step back and say, even if someone else wronged you in this matter. Even if it is found out that you have been wronged in the end, it will be difficult to reconcile, and people outside will definitely think that the power is covering you. ”
The emperor knows too well the bad roots of man.
Those ordinary people always speculate about the secrets of the palace, they never remember the good things, and the bad things can be left in various versions to exaggerate.
was reprimanding, and the eunuch came to report: The six princes asked to see.
The sixth prince strode in, and as soon as he came in, he was about to come to intercede with Zhao Zhen.
"Father, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter."
The emperor sighed and said: "Leave it to Dali Temple to investigate, they are meticulous, I will assign a personal trial, so as not to cause trouble."
Hearing that there was this opportunity, the sixth prince hurriedly asked for his life: "Just let me be in charge of this case, and I must return the ninth brother's innocence." ”
When the sixth prince said these words, he showed Zhao Zhen's long-lost brotherly care, and his image immediately became a very responsible big brother.
"If you have other things to do, don't meddle." The emperor said lightly.
The sixth prince was unwilling to let go, and said with a strove of words: "Father, I have done all the other things you have explained, this case involves the honor of the ninth brother, I will definitely handle it well, and no one will take the opportunity to slander the prince!" ”
The righteousness spoken by the six princes is awe-inspiring, and the brilliance of justice exudes on them.
In fact, he secretly calculated in his heart: he must get the right to preside, control Zhao Zhen by handling this case, and finally sell him a favor, and he will inevitably pay it back in the future......
Zhao Zhen glanced at his brother with emotion, he never thought that this brother would care so much about himself one day, and thought:
"If you hadn't asked Miss Dong to make a beauty, how could there be such a mess?"
The emperor was already a little sleepy, waved his hand and said, "Let me think about it, you guys retreat first." ”
The sixth prince retreated unwillingly, and Zhao Zhen followed him with his head down.
Coming out of the emperor's bedroom, the six princes could not hide their slight joy.
Come to think of it, it seems that no one is better suited to manage this than him.
This kind of royal scandal will definitely not be sent to an outsider, and of course the affairs of his own family must be solved by himself.
Zhao Zhen walked to the depths of the imperial garden: "Sixth brother." ”
"How?"
The sixth prince heard the weakness in his tone, and thought that he was asking for help.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "I heard that Miss Dong has always admired you......"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know her well." The six princes hurriedly cleared up the relationship.
"I thought you were very close to her."
"Nothing!"
Zhao Zhen seemed to imply: "I still have to bother the sixth brother to try my case...... It's really gratifying. ”
Zhao Kuo took it and smiled generously.
"It's all brothers, and it's out of sight to say this."
Zhao Zhen suddenly changed the topic:
"But isn't it a coincidence that you're showing up at such a good time today?"
"What?" The six princes suddenly froze.
This reminded Zhao Kuo that he was already conscious.
That's right, the Criminal Department just submitted the confidential letter and came over unexpectedly, a little bit of self-confession......
He pretended to be calm: "It's not that I care about you, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”
But there was a faint worry in his heart: I hope the emperor doesn't think about it.
Regarding Miss Dong's matter, the sixth prince couldn't say whether he was happy or sad in his heart, originally she was his pawn, and he was more concerned about how the situation would develop next......
It is said that after the Miss Dong family woke up, she committed suicide in the house, and was found and rescued by her subordinates in time. Now the whole person has gone crazy.
Coming out of the prison, Li Lin went directly to King Rong's Mansion.
She wanted to ask Yuanshu face to face, why did she go so far and ruin a woman's innocence.
The guards of King Rong's Mansion stopped her and forbade her to enter.
The chamberlain reported to Yuan Shu and said that Li Lin wanted to see him.
Yuanshu stayed in his study and was playing with origami,
Hearing that Li Lin wanted to see him, he threw the folded things in front of the table: "I don't see." ”
Li Lin waited and waited at the gate of the mansion for nearly two hours, until it was getting late, and then he had to go home.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw the familiar carriage in the yard and knew that her father and mother had returned.
Father and mother heard that something big had happened in the house, Li Qi was arrested, and hurried home overnight.
When I came back, I found that things were more serious than I imagined.
There was no laughter in the house, like a dark cloud, and everyone looked solemn.
"Dad, mother."
Li Lin came to the hall and saw them screaming.
At this time, Li Chengcai and his wife were in the mood to listen to her greetings, and they had been discussing something with Zheng Guogong in the house.
Even the uncle, who had always eaten, drank, and seen people, and the aunt, who always went back to her parents' house, sat aside.
Ji'an also stood aside, keeping his head down and not speaking.
The whole house was filled with a heavy smell.
Li Lin was like an outsider, sitting alone on a chair outside, and she was overwhelmed by the fact that the home seemed to be drained all of a sudden.
Everyone is worried about whether Li Qi can save the day.
The next day, the Criminal Department handed over the case to Dali Temple.
Early in the morning, the six princes also appeared in Dali Temple in a happy mood, he knew that the emperor's holy decree was coming, and he would face a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Just when Li Lin was proud in his heart, there was a noise of horses' hooves at the door.
Strange, who else would come to Dali Temple at this special moment?
I saw a graceful and luxurious figure appear at the door, the man who was slightly chubby and wore a shiny robe and walked in.
"Three...... Third brother? ”
Zhao Kuo is most familiar with this fat man, he is the third prince, Zhao Jun.
Zhao Kuo was stunned in his heart, and he couldn't react for a while.
The three princes in front of him seemed to have a smile in their eyes, and their chubby faces were easy-going.
"Sixth brother, don't bother with this case."
A hint of foreboding rose in Zhao Kuo's heart.
"Could it be... Are you ......" The Sixth Prince's eyes widened.
I saw Zhao Jun shaking the holy decree in his hand, and said in an extremely calm and steady tone: "I'm sorry, I ...... this case." is the chief judge. ”
The Sixth Prince stood there, clenching his fists unwillingly, but he had to try to squeeze out a smile on his face to show congratulations.
"Congratulations, third brother!"
