Your Majesty, it has been roughly confirmed that he is indeed the fourth son of the Bai family. ”

After a brief explanation, Lu Yuan made a conclusion.

Emperor Zhaofeng pondered for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel a chill in the back of his neck.

It is really the remnants of the Bai family.

and is a descendant of the Bai family, the son of Bai Shilang.

I think that when he went to Dayongchang Temple to pray for blessings over the years, this person often accompanied him...... But once this person's brain is hot, he is afraid that it will be cold, right?

"I remember that the minister who was ordered to destroy the Bai family was Li Dongyang."

Emperor Zhaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Li Aiqing is one of the few people I can trust, and he is cautious and thoughtful—if it weren't for someone secretly helping him, there would never be such an omission." ”

Lu Yuan listened and didn't say much.

But he didn't say it, but Emperor Zhaofeng asked him: "In your opinion, is what this Bai family son said before credible?" ”

Naturally, it was the other party who claimed that he was saved by Jixiao.

As for the sentence 'The Bai family is slandered'...... Emperor Zhaofeng subconsciously didn't have much interest in exploring anything.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If there is no evidence, the minister does not dare to say anything. It is possible either to be true or to the other party's deliberate words of revenge. ”

"It's for you to answer, not for you to talk nonsense."

When did even this brocade guard who can inspect hundreds of officials get infected with the problem of looking ahead and looking backwards?

He still remembered that the reason why he reused Lu Yuan at the beginning was not only because he liked the other party's ability to do things, but also because he had the courage to tell the truth.

As an emperor, he may not want to hear the truth on the surface, but secretly he is most afraid that he will not hear the truth.

Especially confidants like Jin Yiwei.

Emperor Zhaofeng slandered in his heart, and saw that Lu Yuan was still hesitant, in addition to being angry, an idea also jumped out of his mind-

In the past, Lu Yuan was a person who even the Ning clan dared to give a pertinent and objective evaluation......

Didn't he really hold the national teacher too high?

So that the henchmen around him didn't dare to tell the truth?

Emperor Zhaofeng suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and only snorted coldly on his face, "It's all about guessing, guessing wrong, can I still drag you out to play the board?" ”

Lu Yuan's face changed for a moment when he heard this, and then he said in a low voice: "Weichen thinks that although the Bai family's case back then was investigated by Lord Li, it could ...... Because of the dragon vein, when the house was raided, the national teacher was also the one who secretly assisted in handling the case. ”

And His Majesty cannot be completely impressed.

The reason why His Majesty had to let him answer was because he wanted to hear whether the opinions of others were consistent with his own—that is, His Majesty's suspicion of the national teacher could no longer be suppressed.

"A little bit more related, Wechen just thought of it-"

"What's the connection?" Emperor Zhaofeng looked at him.

Lu Yuan was about to say it when he heard the voice of the inner supervisor coming through the screen.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asking to see you outside."

Emperor Zhaofeng said casually: "Biography." ”

Bian said to Lu Yuan: "Go on." ”

These inconsequential things, he didn't intend to hide them from the prince.

Chen suddenly thought that the wife of the Bai family, Nan Huanzhi, was originally the eldest daughter of the Xiangnan clan, and her identity was extremely unusual...... And the national teacher was also practicing Buddhism in Xiangxi, and his teacher, Master Qiku, had a close relationship with the Nan family - so Weichen wondered if the national teacher would have been aware of the secret of this Nan's concubine's fake death and marriage. Lu Yuan said cryptically.

"You mean that it is very likely that the national teacher knew all about Nan Huanzhi's whereabouts early in the morning and coveted the secret divination technique in her hands?" Emperor Zhaofeng moved his eyebrows.

"Wechen is just guessing."

At this time, the blue-clothed jade-crowned young man had already entered the hall.

"Son-in-law, see father."

Lu Yuan turned to salute the young man.

"Sit and listen." Emperor Zhaofeng said to the crown prince: "The identity of that disciple of the national teacher has been verified, and there is no doubt that he is a descendant of the Bai family. ”

"Yes."

Zhu Youzhu nodded and sat down.

Emperor Zhaofeng's eyelids jumped.

Why doesn't this kid look surprised at all?

Even if it's really not an accident, why don't you pretend?

is so calm, is he not afraid of being suspected of colluding with the descendants of the Bai family, and he has already known the identity of the other party?

Lu Yuan said something else.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhaofeng took a sip of hot tea.

Lu Yuan asked for instructions in a timely manner: "According to Your Majesty's wishes, how to deal with this person?" ”

"Since it has been determined that it is the descendant of the Bai family, there is no doubt that it should be dealt with according to law." Emperor Zhaofeng's tone was flat.

If such a scourge is not killed, will it still be left for the New Year?

As for the matter of the national teacher, he has his own sense of proportion in his heart, and he has to think about it again.

Lu Yuan replied, "Yes".

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the prince sitting there get up.

"Father, son-in-law thinks that this person should not be killed."

Zhu Youzhu raised his hands and folded them in front of him, his eyes drooping slightly.

Emperor Zhaofeng looked at him with some surprise.

This kid protects people so directly?

"Then you should tell me, why shouldn't the remnants of the Bai family be killed?"

He wanted to hear what absurd reasons he could come up with—

"According to Erchen's opinion, there were grievances in the Bai family's case back then." Zhu Youzhu had a little solemnity on his face: "If the Bai family's case really has an inside story, then the son of the Bai family is not the remnant of the Bai family, but the surviving descendant - he should not be killed." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Fu and Lu Yuan were shocked and their backs chilled.

The crown prince said this in front of the emperor...... Isn't it intended to displease the emperor?

Emperor Zhaofeng's expression changed slightly.

"Why, you listened to his casual words in front of the emperor that day, but you still took it seriously? In the case of the Bai family, the court has already made a conclusion, and under the ironclad evidence, how can there be grievances? ”

Liu Fu quietly looked at Zhu Youjiao, his eyes full of hints and reminders.

However, the young man seems to be very stubborn and has no eyes, and does not know how to advance or retreat.

"The so-called ironclad evidence may just be the slander of people with good intentions-"

"That's enough."

Emperor Zhaofeng interrupted coldly, looked at the prince and said: "Don't think that I don't know, you are secretly competing with the national teacher now-this so-called fourth son of the Bai family, you are too distracted to protect and do not hide it!" Whether you have a secret relationship with him, and whether you have already known the identity of the other party, I have never calculated these accounts with you! ”

He didn't want to delve into these things, he just planned to turn a blind eye and quietly practice alchemy and ......

But this stinky boy is so unsatisfied, he has to break his closed eyes together, and rush to find scolding!

"Knowing the son is more than the father, what the son does can't hide from the eyes of the father. The true identity of the son of the Bai family was indeed known not long ago. But Erchen never thought of using his identity to deal with the national teacher. ”

Emperor Zhaofeng was stunned when he heard this.

What does this have to do with knowing the son Mo Ruo's father?

But at least it's honest, and it's a dare to do it.

Wait—is this the time to praise this stinky boy?
