On the 16th of August, the multinational missions left the Imperial City early and returned to the Xingyuan Annex in the lower tower.

The affairs of the Grand Gathering of Nations were almost completed on August 15, so most of the missions chose to leave the capital of Bactria before August 20.

Naturally, the princes have become the best candidates to practice for the envoys of various countries, and it is naturally the crown prince who takes the lead.

But on this day, the crown prince Jingzhang was summoned to the Qiangang Hall by Emperor Yude early. Before entering the Qiangang Palace, Zhou Liang issued a decree that only the prince was allowed to enter alone, which made Jingzhang confused.

And entering the main hall, Emperor Yude did not sit on the dragon chair, but sat on the side and drank tea.

"The son visits his father." Jingzhang saluted.

When Emperor Yude saw him visiting, he sat up straight.

"Get up." Emperor Yude's tone was calm, and he pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit down and say." ”

"The retainers obey." Jing Zhang did it.

Emperor Yude also brought him a cup of tea.

"This is the brick tea paid tribute by Yunnan and Burma, the first time you drink it, there may be some fishy smell, but it can clean up dirt and dirt, and the body is refreshing." Emperor Yude explained.

Although Jingzhang didn't understand the meaning of Emperor Yude's words, he faintly felt that his father was borrowing things to say something. But Jingzhang didn't ask, but followed his father's instructions and tasted the ripe tea brick.

When you drink it in one gulp, it does have a bloody smell and a sense of impurities.

"How?"

"But as my father described." Jingzhang put down the tea bowl.

"There's still half a piece there, you can take it in a while, and drink it privately!" Emperor Yude got up and paced a few steps, his back to Jingzhang.

"Father and Emperor called his sons and ministers to come today, just to taste tea?" Jingzhang didn't believe that his father, who had always been diligent, would pull him to drink tea.

Emperor Yude turned his back to him, stroked his beard, and didn't make a sound for a long time, Emperor Yude didn't know how to speak, to tell, after all, a father-in-law to talk about his daughter-in-law's gossip is always not very straightforward.

Seeing that his father was embarrassed, Jingzhang also stood up and walked towards him.

"Father, there must be something important to entrust to your sons, right? Father may wish to say it explicitly. ”

"Zhang'er, you ...... Married to the Chen family, have you ever complained about your father? Emperor Yude sighed.

Jingzhang was asked by him, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and he was a little confused.

"The people chosen by the father and the emperor and the emperor and grandmother for their sons and ministers are naturally good." Jing Jin replied in a way that was not wrong.

"The implication is that you are not satisfied, right?" Emperor Yude hit the nail on the head.

Jing Zhang fell to his knees.

"Father, the sons and daughters have no complaints, although the sons and the Chen family, although they are husband and wife, but we are also respectful of each other, raising their eyebrows, although, although the feelings, may not be as close as Zhen'er, but they will not blame the father and the emperor's grandmother." Jing Zhang's head slammed on the ground.

"Get up, hurry up! I'm just asking you, not speculating on you, so don't panic. Emperor Yude leaned over and helped his son.

"A few days ago, did you hear about the Qiangang Palace?" Emperor Yude asked.

"Yes...... Jinhua's business? ”

Emperor Yude nodded.

"Erchen has heard of it, but he only heard that Jinhua hit the stone pillar on the spot, and he doesn't know anything else." Jingzhang has been seeing off Emperor Yude's missions to various countries in recent days, and he has no leisure to learn about these.

"That's right, but child, you may not know the reason why you almost caused a tragedy......" Emperor Yude paused, still hesitant to tell the story.

"I heard that clothes embroidered with 'brocade' were found in the house, so I ...... Hey, father, Jinhua is by no means that kind of person, she grew up beside the emperor's grandmother since she was a child, and her conduct is very dignified, and I hope that my father will not question it! ”

Emperor Yude looked his son with high hopes up and down and nodded.

Hearing his son say this, he knew that his son was pure in nature, and it was not easy to stand in a sober position at this time, but the more sensible his son was, the more sorry Emperor Yude felt for his son.

"Jinhua's matter, although it was caused by speculation, but what really made her choose to die to prove her innocence was not the evidence, but because of Chen's words." Emperor Yude finally spoke.

"What? Son-in-law unknown. Jing Zhang couldn't understand what Chen could say, so Jinhua looked for a short view.

"At that time, the situation was urgent, and your imperial grandmother said that if Jinhua wanted to clear his involvement, he had to prove his innocence, and ...... But the Chen family beat a drum in the ear of your imperial grandmother, saying that it is not difficult to prove innocence, as long as the grandmother of the Shen Criminal Division has a physical examination, it can be understood...... Hey...... "Emperor Yude stroked his beard again.

"What?!" Jing Zhang couldn't believe that Chen would say such vicious words.

"Son, father, I thought about it later, and I was extremely frightened! How can this woman, who said this at that time, not publicly, but just understated, forced a living person to seek death, and accompanied my son every day, calling me a father, how could she not be worried? Emperor Yude shook his head again and again, sighing.

Jing Zhang sat down in the chair and pondered the words of Emperor Yude, at that time, the Empress Dowager pressed the top and interrogated a little female official for adultery and adultery. As soon as Chen's words came out, it was a double-edged sword, if it was with others, it would stand on the ground, if it was like Jinhua without personnel and simple-minded, it was a murderous sword!

Jingzhang thought of it and trembled, for many years, could it be that the Chen family couldn't tolerate Jinhua so much? At the beginning of the poison of cinnabar, he suspected that someone deliberately murdered, but at that time Chen was also a victim, although someone reminded him, but Jingzhang never believed that a person would harm himself first in order to harm others.

However, this thing of the self-examination of the worship room is really vicious. Bang! With a bang, Jing Zhang's fist slammed on the table.

"You can't be humiliated!" Jing Zhang's mouth squeezed out these words.

Emperor Yude looked at his son, nodded and shook his head.

"Son, these six words of yours are Jinhua's last words at that time, which frightened me as a father!" Emperor Yude shook his head again, "This child, I have also watched her grow up since childhood, and I have never seen her compete with others, but she is naturally clever and makes people jealous!" ”

"Father, don't hide it, Erchen has always missed her, but he can't get it after all, but recently his father told Erchen about the Chen family, and Erchen has his own measure." Jingzhang is an adult, and many things have been understood.

"After watching that day, for several days, I was always anxious, terrified, I always felt that I owed you, now your mother has gone west, and the marriage is like this, and my heart is even more indescribable, if it was not up to your imperial grandmother to decide......" Emperor Yude sighed again.

Jing Zhang got up again and bowed to the ground, saying that it was the most ruthless emperor's family, but his father really loved him, and today there was no monarch and minister, only father and son, and Jing Zhang had a responsibility in his heart.

"Father doesn't have to worry too much about his sons, his sons have their own proportions, as for the Chen family, the sons should avoid it after the physical examination."

Emperor Yude stroked his goatee, he has become a loving father today, and his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so let his son take care of the backyard by himself.

"Zhang'er, you should be more diligent in government affairs. Go ahead, your fifth and seventh brothers have been waiting outside for a long time. ”

"Father, don't be too tired, the son will retire for the time being." After that, Jing Zhang withdrew from the main hall of the Qiangang Palace.

What about Jingzhang and Chen? This is a matter of no further aside.

The crown prince Jingzhang went out of the palace, and sure enough, the fifth prince Jing Hui and the seventh prince Jing Jin were already outside the palace, and the brothers saluted each other, and Jing Hui and Jing Zhang turned into the main hall.

When the two brothers entered the hall again, Emperor Yude was already sitting behind the dragon book case.

"The son of the emperor greets his father." The two brothers saluted at the same time.

"Let's get down to business." Emperor Yude is a little lacking today.

"Enlighten my father, my father's explanation of the two of us has been completed, and I checked with the Golden Eagle Prince today to confirm that it is correct."

"What was it like that day?"

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, the Golden Eagle Prince had an appointment to meet in the palace after the Jinhua banquet. That night, the prince stayed in the dormitory for a little time because he had to attend to some miscellaneous matters, and went very late.

And that night, because Jinhua was afraid of the dark and didn't dare to be alone, he asked the seventh brother and Erchen to help, and the Erchen was drunk and went straight to Ruifeng Pavilion, and the seventh brother accompanied Jinhua to go, but he didn't see Jin Ying himself in the palace, but the two pieces of evidence, Jing Jin and Jinhua, and even Xiaodezi, had seen them in the palace.

He wanted to flee with his face covered, but the Yulin people were powerful, and he still did not escape after all, and during the fight, the sons and others hurriedly arrived, and when they saw the prince fighting with Yulin, they retreated step by step, and did not attack each other.

At this point, Erchen and the others also checked with Yu Linwei that day, the prince did not fight to the death, and the father and emperor all knew about the rest of the matter. ”

Emperor Yude nodded, he basically figured out the general situation.

"So, the Golden Eagle Prince also happened to meet that day?" Emperor Yude asked.

"Father," Jing Jin stepped forward, "this matter is a little suspicious. ”

"Where?" Emperor Yude asked urgently.

"According to the prince's recollection, when he saw the female corpse and wanted to leave, he heard a doctor shouting outside the door, and it was not 'who?' Such normal words are shouted as 'catch the rape'! Jing Jin said something suspicious.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Don't...... Could it be ...... "Emperor Yude didn't dare to be sure of his thoughts.

"Erchen boldly guesses that someone has set up a game!" Jing Jin said boldly.

"What bureau?"

"Erchen feels that someone knew about the meeting between Prince Jinying and Jinhua in advance, and deliberately took the rape of the two, and the dead palace maid probably played the role of accidentally breaking into the palace and being killed by Jinying and Jinhua."

"Will there be such a thing?" Emperor Yude was deeply skeptical.

"Yes, father, the son invited the servants of Shuntianfu to check, the female corpse was stabbed in the heart with a short knife and died, and the short knife is officially a common thing for everyone in the northern country, and the royal family is no exception."

Emperor Yude beat a drum in his heart, and what he was worried about was about to happen.

"Okay, since the matter has been investigated, don't bother the prince anymore, tomorrow the Yujing Pavilion will hold a banquet, and I will personally suppress the shock of the Golden Eagle Prince! Presumably he hasn't been in the capital for a long time, and on the day he leaves, you can wait for me to send it off! Let Jinhua go too! ”

"Yes!" The two brothers joined hands and then withdrew from the Qiangang Palace.
