Chapter 152: In-depth investigation
Sure enough, early in the morning of the second day, the little eunuchs sent by the palace entered the palace with an edict to announce Song Anguo and Nangong Jin respectively.
Nangong Jin took the commandment, although he didn't say anything, but knowing that the emperor was in such a hurry to summon him, it was naturally the coral tree that he handed over before, and he was afraid that he had already found out the source.
I'm afraid that Song Anguo on the other end has already received the commandment, thinking like this, he saw Song Anguo following his father-in-law with the oracle in his hand at the next corner.
The two of them looked at each other, both nodded to each other tacitly, and walked towards the direction of the temple together, the reason for entering the palace had already been guessed, but the palace was important, and everything was still prudent and good.
Thinking that the case that had been investigated for several days had finally seen the light of day, the two of them suddenly felt much more refreshed.
Although I don't know how the emperor will give an explanation, the two of them have already had a clear conscience.
As soon as the two of them entered the main hall, they saw Zhao Yue sitting in the middle of the yellow robe, but at this moment, the look on his face was not clear.
"See the emperor!"
"See the emperor!"
Although they sensed the difference, the two of them could only wait and see what happened.
"Aiqing, I thoroughly investigated the bangs along the way, I know that you have worked a lot, and you have worked hard."
"These are the things that a minister should do."
Zhao Yue nodded, raised his hand and nodded at the father-in-law beside him, and the other party took out the coral tree that the two of them presented yesterday from behind him.
"Two ministers, the origin of this coral tree has been ascertained by our Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was indeed originally an object in the palace, and not long ago, it was indeed rewarded by the emperor as a reward, but there are many things in the palace, and the emperor has many concerns, but he forgot about this matter, and the slave checked the reward book, and this coral tree was originally rewarded to King Ruixiang."
As soon as they heard this name, the two of them were overjoyed, and such a result had long been expected by them.
As the saying goes, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and King Ruixiang's brutal forcible seizure is not a matter of a day or two, if this time the emperor can thoroughly investigate this matter, it can really be regarded as creating rich people.
Zhao Yue pursed his lips slightly, and said: "This coral tree is indeed a reward given by me to King Ruixiang, but now King Ruixiang is still on the fiefdom, and the distance between the two places is very long, even if it is a boat and a car, it will take several days, I don't think he will do such a thing, not to mention, Liu Hai is only a master, and it should have nothing to do with King Ruixiang." ”
Zhao Yue is deep in the deep palace, accustomed to the situation of fighting for power, whether it is the harem, or above the main hall, sometimes even his own brothers will have swords against each other, he is deep and high, and the people he meets are all flattering people, as the king of a country, he naturally has a lot of concerns.
Although the appearance of this coral tree is strange, if you convict a royal family with such an object alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, not to mention that King Ruixiang is his relative after all, he still has some concern for blood relationship.
Song Anguo understands that Zhao Yue's tone obviously wants to dissociate King Ruixiang from this matter, but he is a young man in the 21st century and has not seen the real power struggle, but he has not watched the books and TV series about the power struggle, not to mention, as a person who has crossed over, he naturally knows what the real history of this world is.
Zhao Yue cared about this blood and blood, it was just because he was the king of a country that was high above, under the whole world, it was not the king's land, how could such a monstrous power not make people covetous?
Since he was able to travel to this dynasty, he must still need to make some changes, at least, the historical tragedy that originally happened, he didn't want it to happen again under his own hands.
If changing the history of tragedy is his task, then he is duty-bound.
Song Anguo hesitated for a long time, but after all, he still straightened his face, took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, there are some things that the ministers don't know whether to say or not. ”
Nangong Jin was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect to be preempted by Song Anguo this time.
Zhao Yue frowned slightly, raised his hand and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be rigid about etiquette, just say what you have to say." ”
Song Anguo deliberately put on a worried look, with a bit of sadness on his face that cares about the people of the world.
"Your Majesty, the minister knows that you are the king of a country and work a lot on weekdays, but this time the minister has investigated all the way for the Liu Hai case, and he has indeed learned some secrets that he has not heard before."
Hearing Song Anguo say this, Zhao Yue also got serious, sat up straight, and looked inquiring on his face.
"What Aiqing said and what he intended?"
"Your Majesty, although King Ruixiang is still in his fiefdom, but what a coincidence that there is energy in this world, the case of bangs just happened, and the legend and practice of the organization of Yin Shalou are also very popular in the rivers and lakes, and at the same time, we also found the coral tree that you rewarded King Ruixiang? If the emperor's reward can be lost so easily, it is difficult for the minister not to speculate about what the true intentions of King Ruixiang were, or whether someone was plotting something from the beginning after all this accident. ”
Speaking of this, Song Anguo stopped rationally, the most important thing in everything is to stop at the point.
Since ancient times, except for a few emperors who are not here, most of them have hated people who are afraid of their throne, and they are eager to kill the nine clans, but now he does not have any clear evidence in his hands, so he can only say this kind of guiding words, and make a look of forced but difficult to say.
Anyway, Zhao Yue has always been thoughtful, and if he wants to talk and stop at the point like this, I'm afraid the effect will be much better than directly saying it.
Sure enough, after listening to Song Anguo's words, Zhao Yue's face was much more ugly, no matter how big a person's life was, it was just like a mustard, but the throne must not be lost again.
Song Anguo knew that Zhao Yue had already moved his mind, so he immediately pursued after the victory: "Your Majesty, everything is in danger, and prevention is the best policy." ”
Zhao Yue nodded slightly, is it better to prevent problems before they happen? There is some truth to it.
Nangong Jin was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect Song Anguo to be able to say such words, at this time, as long as he stepped forward to add oil and vinegar, and add a handful of firewood, the fire would burn even more vigorously.
"Recently, the organization of Yin Sha Lou has begun to become active in various places, Your Majesty, this matter is thought to be unpromising."
Zhao Yue looked at the coral tree held by his father-in-law on the side, and his heart beat violently, although Song Anguo was just a suspicion, he really couldn't afford this risk.
What's more, if the backing of this emerging organization, the Yin Evil Tower, is really controlled by King Ruixiang in secret, if this Yin Evil Building really develops into a huge force that can threaten the world, if it is to be solved at that time, I am afraid it will be even more difficult, Nangong Jin's proposal is indeed much more feasible.
"Aiqing is right, this matter of the shady building is indeed not postponed."
Nangong Jin knew that Zhao Yue's side had relented, and hurriedly clenched his fists and stepped forward, "In the case of tracking down Liu Hai, the minister has already mastered some evidence about the Yin Sha Lou, please ask the emperor to order us to allow us to pursue the matter of the Yin Sha Lou." ”
Song Anguo nodded, he already knew that according to Nangong Jin's temperament, he would definitely rob him of this matter, and sure enough, he took advantage of a loophole and asked the emperor for his life first.
Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but now, the only thing that is to convince Zhao Yue first is the most important thing.
"Yes, the minister is also willing to take the initiative to ask for his life, and work with the Marquis of Ping'an to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Yin Sha Lou, no matter what, it is necessary to return the world to peace, the emperor, prevention is the best policy."
Zhao Yue was worried that he couldn't find a minister who could be arranged, and it just so happened that Nangong Jin took the initiative to ask for help, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Aiqing said that prevention is better than prevention, I deeply think so, the country is big, if you wait until the incident is solved to solve it, it is tantamount to making up for the dead, although it is not too late, but the damage caused is already difficult to recover, Aiqing is worthy of being a famous family, it seems that in the future, on the way of governing the country, I will have to ask you more for advice."
Listening to the meaning of Zhao Yue's words, it is obvious that he really agrees with Song Anguo's point of view, but he doesn't dare to bring such a high hat to assist the emperor in governing the country? It's not good to be all over the house! He only dared to say this by reading the script in advance, but although he recognized people as crossing over, there was only one life, not to mention that accompanying the king was like accompanying the tiger, he didn't want to cause his whole family to bury him because of his words.
"Your Majesty, you are too modest, the minister just wants to share one or two for the emperor, and he doesn't know anything about governing the country, but I still thank the emperor for your love for the ministers, and the ministers will be repaid with death."
Song Anguo's self-sacrificing righteous words really made Zhao Yue feel a lot more comfortable, and his tightly knit brows also stretched.
If everyone in the palace can really be as Song Anguo said, he will naturally be much relieved, and even the people of the world can be much relieved.
"Since the two of you took the initiative to ask for your life, I am naturally happy to do it, starting today, I will send the two of you to focus on investigating the matter of Yin Shalou, if it is really related to King Ruixiang, be sure to report it to me, Xiao Dezi, go and get the token."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nangong Jin took advantage of the place where Zhao Yue couldn't see, and secretly made an affirmative look at Song Anguo, Liu Hai's case was investigated cooperatively, and the tacit understanding and friendship formed between the two people have long been different from what they used to be, whether it is Song Anguo or Nangong Jin, they are all emotionally moved to be able to meet such a satisfactory acquaintance in the palace.
The father-in-law carefully handed the token to the two of them and stepped aside.
"These two people can call on the local officials to see the token as if they were me, and no one can stop the two of you along the way."
"Yes! Weichen received the order, thank you Lord Longen! ”
"Yes! Wechen takes the order! ”
Song Anguo properly put away the token, then got up and planned to go to King Ruixiang's fiefdom to thoroughly investigate the details of King Ruixiang, and when he thought of the next sleepless investigation, Nangong Jin was unprecedented, and wanted to see Song Jiayao.
