That night, a big event happened in the East Palace.

The emperor woke up from Chang'en Palace, hugged Concubine Li, who was disheveled and also a little dazed, and heard a report from the palace that the prince had broken his leg while riding a horse after getting drunk last night and was currently unable to walk. The emperor has not been in the court for many days, and the harem is not allowed to enter unless summoned, and the prince kowtows outside the palace on weekdays. The East Palace came to report that the prince could not come in person today, so he sent someone to ask for peace, and Yunyun's health was fine, and the emperor did not have to worry and so on.

"What? The prince fell and was injured? Concubine Li was in a trance, watching the emperor's face beside her become more and more gloomy, and slowly reacted, "How could it be so coincidental?" It can't be a fake, right? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't be so bold, would he? After speaking, he secretly glanced at the emperor again.

"What else would this rebel not dare?" The emperor snorted coldly, and said again after a while, "As soon as I let him go to Shaanxi, he can't move, and it seems that the people around me are also going to check!" ”

"Your Majesty, are you saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has eyeliner in my Chang'en Palace?" Concubine Li said in horror, "Won't it?" In this way, the concubine and the emperor are not at ease! Your Majesty, the concubine is afraid! ”

The emperor patted Concubine Li's back comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" I'll send someone to investigate it today! Your time in the palace is still short, your foundation is still shallow, and it is normal for you to follow his way. I didn't expect this rebel to be so bold and dare to put his eyes on my side! ”

Concubine Li patted her chest with palpitations, and the long Kodan crossed the tassel of the cloud shirt. The emperor's eyes narrowed, and he pulled Concubine Li over, and the pride and fighting spirit that had not been seen for a long time rose in his heart.

The emperor slept again under the service of Concubine Li. When he got up, he felt refreshed, and he told Gonggong Cao to thoroughly investigate the people of Chang'en Palace.

Although the emperor did not go to court, the will was handed down.

Retrial of the Xue mutiny case!

Shocked!

The Xue mutiny case five years ago was once again bloodily pulled into front of people's eyes. Now that the world has been peaceful and prosperous for a long time, many people have forgotten the bloody storm on that night five years ago, the famous god of war of this dynasty was destroyed overnight, and then the palace newspaper said that it was a collaborator with the enemy and betrayed, and those who dared to write were either exiled or demoted.

The civil and military officials also reached a consensus and did not mention the matter. After a long time, it seems that it has really faded away. This side of the city is peaceful, and this side of the country and the people are safe, as if it has nothing to do with the iron-blooded battle of the year.

But now, this will has come down, and all the officials are speculating about the intention behind it. What does it mean to retry a case that was personally approved by the royal pen back then? Could it be that the emperor intends to overturn the case? Or is it just a bait released by the emperor to clean up the remnants of the Xue family back then?

The emperor has been in the court for more than 20 years, and even the courtiers who have followed him for many years can easily guess his thoughts, although he is not in the court now, his control over the court has not been weakened by half, and no courtier dares to underestimate the sacred heart. Therefore, although this will stirs up a thousand waves like a stone, everyone is nervously watching.

Others can wait and see, but the people of the Sansi Yamen can't sit still. Although it was a secret trial back then, it was also a trial by the three divisions, and no one went to court, but human evidence, documentary evidence, and physical evidence were all normal procedures. Now, in addition to the Dali Temple Qing who returned to his hometown, the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are basically the same people, and who to send for retrial and how to try it has become an unavoidable problem for the three divisions.

The Sacred Heart is unknown, the situation between the prince of the court and the king of Qin is undecided, everyone knows that this is a puddle of troubled water, some want to rely on the wind, seek wealth and danger, some want to fish in troubled waters, left and right, and of course, there are also people who retreat.

Fortunately, soon there was a will in the palace, and the prince had recently had inconvenient legs and feet, so he was recuperating in the East Palace, and the matter was handed over to Qin Wangquan to be responsible.

This was not what the ministers expected. The prince followed General Xue to the Western Regions, and it was not an exaggeration to say to General Xue that he had a friendship of half a division, but he didn't expect that now the prince actually intended to back down at this critical juncture.
