Concubine Ying was distressed, "Chang Ze has to eat when he arrives at dinner since he was a child, how can he stand this?" You want to hand him some dry food, even if it's good to fill it in. ”

Qinghe said: "The slave maid also thinks that the people who can guard it are all from the Qianming Palace, they only listen to the emperor and Gonggong Liu, and the slave and maid are really ...... I really don't have that ability! ”

Concubine Ying couldn't help but get up and go in person, but she didn't know what she thought, so she sat back and whispered, "The palace can't make any moves." ”

Qinghe is a person who knows the inside story, and at this time he also lowered his voice and said, "Yes, master, don't worry about Your Highnesses, just have a meal, and you won't be hungry, but it will be later...... There must be no mistakes. ”

Concubine Ying picked up the silver chopsticks in front of her, "That palace must be full first, and then you will have the spirit to deal with it." ”

Now everyone's eyes are on the Qianming Palace, but the emperor in the Qianming Palace is leisurely, and even asked Gonggong Liu to bring a pot of mare's milk wine and take a few sips during lunch.

The emperor didn't say how to deal with a few princes, and Gonggong Liu didn't ask, which was his usual benefit.

"You're very quiet, and the ministers outside are probably going to die in a hurry." The Emperor glanced at him as he was cooking.

Gonggong Liu said with a smile: "If you go back to the emperor, no matter how the people outside are, seeing that you have an appetite, the minions will be at ease, as for the highnesses, they are not the masters of the servants, of course the minions are not in a hurry." ”

When the emperor heard this, he seemed to be very happy, smiled and said: "Look, you all know the truth, those who read the books of the sages don't understand, there is only one person in the world who can give orders, and that is me, why are they in a hurry?" ”

Gonggong Liu can actually understand the worries of those ministers who have stood in line, but he can't say it, he can only say: "The minions don't read as much as the adults, so they have to keep their own duties and live their jobs. ”

The emperor asked, "Did Qinghe come to look for you during that time just now?" ”

Liu Gonggong said: "Qinghe has been to Qianming Palace, but he didn't come in, saying that he was helping the concubine Niangniang take care of the affairs of the six palaces, just passing by, she asked the little eunuch who was guarding the door a few words, naturally it was related to the two highnesses, and also asked the slave what he was doing, and the little eunuch replied that the slave was waiting for your pen and ink, so she didn't say much, and left directly. ”

The emperor nodded, "Concubine Ying can't sit still, but at this time, she hasn't made trouble with me, and she has already restrained a lot." ”

Gonggong Liu didn't dare to respond, but the emperor has been more and more direct in front of him recently, I don't know if it's because he has seen through Gonggong Liu, who will never get involved in the troubled waters of seizing the heir, or because he knows that he may get sick at any time, so he doesn't care, he really thinks of where to go.

"I used to treat Concubine Ying like that, probably because of the queen's presence. Now it's really ...... So it's not interesting to be a husband and wife in this day's house. ”

Everyone thinks that as an emperor, he should live a serious life, but Gonggong Liu knows very well that the emperor is also a human being, and he will also remember his flesh and blood relatives, and he will tell his feelings like ordinary people.

It's just a pity that Father-in-law Liu understands everything, but he can't talk.

He has to leave a way out for himself, he also knows that there is no impermeable wall under the sky, and now it seems that Changfu Palace's winning chance is at least greater, if he accostes him, it is like chewing the tongue of Changfu Palace behind his back, and as a person who has made Quyi to the extreme, how can he have this kind of behavior?

He could only smile to make the topic more relaxed, "What the emperor said, the slave can't understand it again, the slave has no fate as a husband and wife in this life, you can do well, just be a poor slave." ”

The emperor seemed to see it too, and did not urge him to echo himself, but only smiled and scolded, "Old slippery head." ”

As the master and servant spoke, they seemed to have put aside the affairs of the princes, and without thinking about it, they withdrew the imperial meal, and the emperor said, "Bring them here." ”

The imperial study is lit with good ambergris all the year round, this fragrance is relatively strong, Changjue, who is not very hungry, feels a little greasy after coming in, and he doesn't want to eat, but Wei Changze is different, and his first reaction after seeing the emperor is to complain.

He said: "Father, these little eunuchs neglected their sons, and they didn't even give them food, and they were still hungry at this time." ”

The emperor sat behind the table, even though he was sick and painful, he looked at him and asked, "Let you be hungry, but can you be hungry clearly?" ”

Wei Changze was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say, "I'm hungry clearly." ”

The emperor said, "Then tell me the questions I asked you before, and answer them one by one." ”

According to the order of teeth, the first one was Wei Changyuan, he simply said neatly: "Father, the sons and daughters think that this matter still needs to be investigated, but the results of the investigation, how to tell the ministers, you must consider it carefully, after all, King Gong is not only King Gong, but also the brother of the son, is your son, no matter who in the clan has such a thing, it is a family ugly, it is best not to publicize it." ”

The emperor did not approve or object, and only looked at Chang Jue.

Chang Jue's face was still full of calm, "Erchen is the one who was impeached, in fact, it shouldn't be said by Erchen, it's just that Erchen has only thought about it for a long time and feels a little cold-others don't believe Erchen, it's just that Erchen's exploits in the northern snow disaster for so many years are not seen, but these people who don't believe and don't look at it are Erchen's own brothers." ”

Wei Changze immediately said: "Brother Sanhuang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's the facts in front of us, we can't afford to care about brotherhood, we have grown up with brocade clothes and jade food, if we still want to drink the blood of Li Min, it is something that God can't see." ”

So there was no need to ask him anything at all, the emperor already knew the answer after Wei Changze thought about it for a long time.

"That being the case, Chang Ze, you have to be responsible for everything you have said, if it is really found out that Chang Jue has filled his pockets through disaster relief and disregarded people's lives, I will definitely remove his title and take back everything in his hands, and even the current Prince Gong's Mansion can no longer live." The emperor looked at the fourth son resolutely, "Of course, if you find out that Changjue is clean in the end, all this is just your wanton slander of your brother, and I will not spare it, and the punishment you will receive will not only include everything I said just now, but also implicate Changfu Palace and Qi Wangfu." Do you understand? ”

Wei Changze couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, there was no other way out, he sank his heart and said, "Erchen understands. ”

The emperor said crisply, "In that case, present the physical evidence." ”

Wei Changze said: "Erchen has a witness here, this witness can explain where the physical evidence is, please summon my father." ”

The emperor asked, "Who is it?" ”

Wei Changze glanced at Changjue, seemed a little proud, and spit out a few words, "It's the son of Lord Yi of the household, Yi Bin." ”

Chang Jue looked at him suddenly, he also looked back unceremoniously, their eyes met, and Chang Jue repeated the name in a deep voice, "Yi Bin? ”

Wei Changze was a little proud, "Do you think the Third Emperor Brother is surprised?" is the so-called abandonment of darkness and surrender to light, Yi Gongzi was originally your crooked relative, and he couldn't stand your behavior like this, so he came to me to denounce you. ”

Chang Jue stared at him for a while, "So Lan Yi's cousin ......"

Wei Changze hurriedly said: "Mrs. Yi's death has nothing to do with me, don't talk about those who don't have it." ”

Knowing that Chang Jue was a well-spoken person, he could always go off the beaten path and find loopholes, Wei Changyuan held down Wei Changze and asked him not to say more, but said to the emperor: "Since this Yi Bin really knows the inside story, the son begs his father to summon him immediately." ”

The emperor glanced at Changjue, and saw that he looked like he was resigned to his fate, and he didn't even distinguish between them, and he was disappointed, and waved his hand, "Pass!" ”

Yi Bin should have been prepared, although he was invited from outside the palace, he came quickly, and when he walked in, his face was solemn, which was very different from usual.

Chang Jue kept staring at him, but he didn't look at Chang Jue, as if the previous relatives were all fake. He bowed to the emperor, bowed loudly, and bowed to the three princes, and then knelt there quietly, waiting for questioning.

The emperor looked at it and asked, "Yi Bin, right?" ”

Yi Bin hurriedly responded, "If you go back to the emperor, the villain is Yi Bin." ”

The emperor nodded, and did not talk nonsense, "Say it." ”

Yi Bin came prepared, knew what the emperor asked, and immediately talked eloquently, shaking out all the "mess" he knew about Prince Gong's mansion.

He said that Prince Gong's Mansion is often stretched thin because of the lack of Empress Cikang's help, so His Royal Highness King Gong often accepts bribes from others, of course, there are fewer bribes, he is not necessary, every time he sees a large amount of silver tickets to give those officials a way to live, these ministers know that there is really no way, and they continue to "pay tribute" to Prince Gong's Mansion, and the silver taels of tribute must be deducted from the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court.

And when Changjue is doing things, he is often reckless, and if he doesn't like his heart, he can think of ways to make people go to the point of no return, just like in the list he was corrupt and handed over to the emperor, many people were persecuted because of disagreements with his political views.

In his eloquent words, Chang Jue became the biggest moth in the entire Dashun Dynasty, and he was simply killed quickly.

Chang Jue listened to him quietly, and then heard the emperor ask himself: "He said this about you, what do you have to say?" ”

"Back to my father's words, these are all nonsense." He was not angry, happy or sad, he suddenly lost all his emotions, and stood there calmly, "Yi Gongzi did have some friendship with Prince Gong's Mansion at the beginning, but this friendship has been broken with the death of his son, wife and sister, and what he said is also one-sided, how can you believe it?" ”

The Emperor nodded, "Words alone really can't say anything. ”

"Please Emperor Mingjian, the villain has evidence!" Yi Bin kowtowed, "Please ask the emperor to go and raid the study of King Gong's mansion, if you can find those officials and the correspondence between His Royal Highness King Gong, you can see the evidence!" ”

Chang Jue looked at him and said, "Yi Bin, if I'm not mistaken, among those letters, there are still a few that you forwarded to me, you said that those ministers are far away and don't know the holy will, so I specially wrote to inquire, I trusted you very much at that time, if you did anything in the letter, how would I know." ”

Yi Bin looked up at him, and said with a heartfelt voice, "His Royal Highness King Gong is inevitably too clean, you say this, I'm afraid it's even more suspicious, isn't it?" After all, I gave you the letter, and you received it happily, but when you received it, couldn't you see what you were doing? ”

"I didn't find you so eloquent." Chang Jue sneered.

The emperor lifted his eyelids, "Okay, this kind of thing, can you make sense of the noise?" What is hidden in the study of Prince Gong's mansion will only be found out after a search. ”

Chang Jue was a little anxious, and said in a long way: "Father, the courtier's wife is still entertaining friends at home, how can you send someone to search rashly like this?" When the time comes, everyone will know about it, and even if Erchen jumps into the Yellow River, he won't be able to wash it away. ”

Wei Changze had already thought of a sentence that had to be investigated, and immediately said: "Since the Third Emperor Brother thinks he is innocent, why is he afraid of such an investigation?" What's more, my sister-in-law of the Third Emperor is not a woman who has never seen the world, and she is not afraid that she will scare him. As for 'jumping into the Yellow River, you can't wash it away'...... Brother Sanhuang, people live in the world, we must remember that those who are pure are self-purifying, this is the truth that our father taught us in the past. ”

Chang Jue glanced at him resentfully, and Wei Changze was very proud, after all, it was very rare for the Third Emperor Brother to be provoked to be angry like this.

"Father's ......"

Chang Jue wanted to stop him, but the emperor directly interrupted him, "Chang Ze is right, those who are clear will clear themselves, and they will eventually have to investigate." ”

He called Father-in-law Liu to come over and instructed him not to bring too many people, and not to toss too much, just check the letters in the study.

This is a final word, and everyone present knows that when Gonggong Liu goes, he will definitely find out some evidence.

Changjue's face finally floated with anxiety, Wei Changze had never been so happy, since he was pushed to the cusp of competing for the position of the East Palace, he had a stumbling life, and thanks to Wei Changjue, these stumbling blocks can finally be returned now.

The emperor took the fold next to him to criticize, he didn't bother to care about the many people in front of him, they could only kneel and stand, the three princes were okay, but it was really hard for Yi Bin, he was also pampered for many years, but he came to Qianming Palace to "punish kneeling", and after a while, his knees were like thousands of ants biting, so uncomfortable that he gritted his teeth, and his upper body shook more than once.

He threw a look at Wei Changze for help, but Wei Changze felt that he was all standing, and a person with a low status like Yi Bin was nothing to kneel, so he pursed his lips and decided not to help him speak.

Yi Bin could only endure it, and looked at Gonggong Liu and hurried back.

However, Liu Gonggong is a very meticulous person, and he has been gone for a long time. He rushed to Prince Gong's Mansion with his guards, and instead of immediately checking the study, he saluted Lan first.

Lan Yi waited at home for a long time, but has not received the news about Changjue, at the moment is already a little anxious, at this moment to leave the guests, after seeing Liu Gonggong, as if seeing hope, quite kindly asked: "Father-in-law came over this time, but my father has something to order?" ”
