Chapter 155: Leave a way out
"Lord Wang, the little one just took one less confession, this is another confession, please take a look at it." Liao Kang took out another confession from his arms, that is, Xiao Anzi's confession, and found someone to eat with the palace maid, because he was jealous, so he poisoned His Royal Highness Qi Wang, and after the incident, he was afraid that the palace maid would confess that he was the mastermind, so he killed the palace maid, but he was arrested before he could escape.
Prince Zong read this confession, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and when he saw that he was almost about to crack behind his ears in the end, he raised his head and glanced at Liao Kang and asked, "What is the crime?" How's it going, can you still speak? ”
Liao Kang replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, the prince can rest assured, the prisoner knows that he is tired of the capital crime, and he has killed his opponent, and he is full of remorse in his heart, and he has already punished himself in prison." ”
"Hahaha, okay, okay, you kid, you're very clever." Prince Zong laughed and patted Liao Kang on the shoulder twice, intending to promote it.
"Thank you for the prince's praise, the little one is ashamed, I don't dare to take it, I don't have the help of the prince's cultivation and Miss Gao, otherwise the little one doesn't have this ability." Liao Kang patted Prince Zong's sycophants very wisely, and then mentioned that it was Gao Weihu who helped him, so that the case had a certain number.
Clear-eyed people can hear it, saying that it is thanks to Prince Zong's cultivation, but Liao Kangcai transferred to the Zongren Division, and there was a case in the sky, and the Prince Zongren took everything right behind the Zongren Division, and ran back to the palace with a smoke, how can there be any cultivation, if you want to say cultivation, hehe, I am afraid that I will ask the old prince to cultivate more in the future, this is a kind of language art, and it is also a common way to pat on the back in officialdom.
In short, Prince Zong is very satisfied with Liao Kang's performance, as for who is behind Liao Kang as the mastermind, Prince Zong is not interested, anyway, if there is any case in the future, just hand it over to Liao Kang, with the help of a clever mastermind, Prince Zong can do things directly, and he doesn't have to think of ways to deal with all forces by himself, which is better.
Thinking clearly about the situation in front of him, Prince Zong took Liao Kang and two confessions directly to the palace to face the saint, as long as the two confessions were handed over to the emperor, the decision was that he didn't need to worry about it, the emperor just had an idea, and the Zongren Division was directly responsible for listening to the order.
The two rode high-headed horses and went straight to the palace, and the prince of Zong was full of energy along the way, as if he had broken the answer, and was about to be promoted and raised, and walked to the peak of his life. In fact, Prince Zong's own age has
It's almost 50, and his body has begun to go downhill, plus he is the prince of the royal family, and it is impossible for him to have any chance of promotion in charge of the Zongren Division
Take it off, and change it to a first- or second-grade official? That joke is big, the dignified prince is not appropriate, to be a first-class member, what is that called, but all this can't stop the old prince's excitement, all the way to the whip, straight forward
The gates of the palace rushed away.
The two of them rode all the way quickly to the palace, and the emperor summoned Prince Zong and Liao Kang into the imperial study, and handed over the two confessions to Beitang Jinyu through the hands of the old eunuch Fang.
Watching Beitang Jinyu carefully read the two confessions, and the more he looked at the frowning of his brows, Liao Kang's head could only bow down again and again, after all, as the saying goes: A companion is like a tiger. Who knows if the emperor will want his head in the next moment, after all, this matter has to do with the face of the royal family, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Liao Kang was still thinking nonsense, and Beitang Jinyu had already finished reading the two confessions in his hand.
"Bang!"
Kitado Jinyu slapped the two confessions on the table fiercely, his eyes almost erupted into flames, his chest rose and fell, and the green tendons of his hands rose up, almost breaking through the skin.
"Bastard thing, I took her like this, but she ......"
"I don't know what to do. What use do I want to keep her? Beitang Jinyu shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, please think twice." Prince Zong knew that Beitang Jinyu would definitely be furious after reading the confession, but sometimes, the consequences of impulsiveness were difficult to bear, so Prince Zong stepped forward to advise Beitang Jinyu.
When Beitang Jinyu heard that Prince Zong was at this time, he even came to persuade him to calm down, and he knew that he was indeed a little confused, so he nodded to Prince Zong, saying that he knew that he should not be impulsive and would consider this matter carefully.
For a while, the imperial study was very quiet, and even the sound of the four people breathing each other could be heard.
In the end, it was Beitang Jinyu who broke the silence and took the lead in asking: "Uncle Huang, this matter has been investigated and handled by the Zongren Division, how many people are involved, and whether it is ......?"
As soon as Prince Zong heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, this eldest nephew is really ruthless enough, this is to kill all those who know.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter is investigated thoroughly by Liao Kang, there are not many people who know, and they are all old men of the Zongren Division, they know the rules, and the offender has already judged himself, and there will be no more incidents."
"Hey, it's good that Uncle Huang has left a way out, otherwise ......"
Beitang Jinyu said as he spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Beitang Jinyu sat in the imperial study, looking at Prince Zong and Liao Kang sullenly, and after a long time, Beitang Jinyu let out a sigh: "Alas, the old party is making a decree!" ”
"No, the old slave will go." The old man replied, turned around and went to prepare.
"Your Majesty, it seems that you have made a plan, then don't be angry, don't be angry with the dragon body." Prince Zong saw Beitang Jinyu's compromise and stepped forward to comfort him.
"Alas, that's it, Uncle Huang doesn't need to comfort me, I know in my heart that if I want to deal with this matter strictly, I'm afraid it will be unstable in the court, so I can only use this little Anzi to top this black cauldron, if the queen ......" said the queen, Beitang Jinyu was silent again, because it was a little difficult to speak.
"Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need for this, if someone in the harem can sit on the queen's seat, Your Majesty might as well set up a queen, if not, there is a good candidate to recommend." Prince Zong smiled and gave Beitang Jinyu an idea.
In fact, Prince Zong still likes Gao Weihu very much, of course, it's just that the elders love the younger ones, and there are also some meanings of reciprocating the peach, after all, the case of the harem was handled by Gao Weihu, and the later two parts
For it, it also gave Prince Zong a very satisfactory answer, and also left room for the emperor to retreat, so Prince Zong felt that Gao Weihu was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to be the queen, with a high background, a top member of the dynasty, and a tall Sima
's daughter-in-law, her background is naturally not a problem, her mind is quick, a case in the harem can be solved in a few clicks, plus Gao Weihu is also very knowledgeable, understands the interests of the ministers in the court, and will not deal with the emperor
is reluctant to give up, but everything is based on the face of the royal family, so Prince Zong is twelve points satisfied with Gao Wei Lake.
"What does Uncle Huang mean, do you want me to choose a concubine?" Beitang Jinyu was very puzzled by Prince Zong's proposal, although this selection of concubines can also be regarded as the business scope of Zongrensi, but it doesn't seem appropriate to propose concubines at this time.
"Your Majesty, the old minister means that he intends to promote a close female official to you, I wonder if Your Majesty agrees?" Prince Zong deliberately sold a pass in front of Beitang Jinyu, and looked at Beitang Jinyu with a smile and was in a hurry, but he didn't say who he was protecting.
Beitang Jinyu also found out that Prince Zong was deliberately adjusting his appetite, so he was not in a hurry, but just frowned and said to Prince Zong: "I am no longer the prince of the past, where did the female official come from, the imperial uncle is having fun with me, right?" ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister didn't joke with the emperor, when Emperor Zu conquered the country, in addition to the ministers in the court, there was also a close female official in the study, who gave advice to Emperor Zu, what happened in the end? Does the emperor remember? Prince Zong still smiled, and explained to Beitang Jinyu why he said that he wanted to promote a close female official.
In the end, it was Beitang Jinyu who failed to survive Prince Zong, so he could only ask the curiosity in his heart: "Of course I remember that the close female official next to Emperor Zu helped Emperor Zu manage a lot of national political affairs, and later Emperor Zu named the female official the queen, and she is also the queen since the founding of the country." "Speaking of this, if Beitang Jinyu still doesn't understand, he doesn't have to be this emperor.
"Uncle Huang is planning to help me choose a queen?" Beitang Jinyu didn't have anything to say about his imperial uncle, but after all, he was the queen of the harem, and he was still not very happy to let others interfere, so his expression was somewhat cold.
Who is Prince Zong? Over the years, he has been in the court, and the changes in the emperor's expression have fallen into the eyes of Prince Zong, coupled with the fact that Beitang Jinyu's voice is getting colder, how could Prince Zong not know what Beitang Jinyu thinks in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the person who is promoted by the old minister, the emperor must like it, and he is an acquaintance of the emperor. Hehehe. Prince Zong knew that Beitang Jinyu was unhappy, but he didn't care, after all, it was common for the emperor to be suspicious of his courtiers, but in the hands of Prince Zong
does not hold military power, does not have political power, and does not even have anything to do with all the ministers, this kind of thing is very clear to the emperor, and soon Beitang Jinyu will figure it out, so Prince Zong is not in a hurry, but continues to follow Beitang Jinyu
Tune your appetite.
After Prince Zong's slow reasoning, Beitang Jinyu also understood what the old prince meant, he was an old man who had no eager expectations for what imperial power, so he dared to do what other ministers did not dare to do, and said what other ministers did not dare to say.
"What Uncle Huang said, in the end, is Heren, who actually has this talent, can help me deal with government affairs, and even manage everything in the harem?" Beitang Jinyu figured it out, and his curiosity naturally jumped out, so he couldn't help asking.
"Lake Gaohao." Since the old prince was not mixing tastes with Beitang Jinyu, but directly said a name that made Beitang Jinyu very happy.
