Xiao Rui entered the Zongren Mansion and was arranged by Xiao Mingying to live in a quiet house, with food, accommodation and servants, and he took care of him very carefully, but he couldn't go out without permission.

Xiao Mingying also arranged for someone to go to Duanwangfu to investigate and interrogate people who were familiar with Xiao Rui.

When the people of the Zongren Mansion searched for the witch puppet from the Duanwang Mansion, Xiao Feng was stunned, and when he heard that Xiao Rui was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, he immediately entered the palace and met Emperor Xia.

Is it to intercede for Xiao Rui?

How can it be!

When Xiao Feng saw Emperor Xia, he was hoarse and indignant: "Father, the sons never expected that Xiao Qi would do such a rebellious behavior, the abandonment of people and gods, and the unforgivable crimes, and the sons deserve death. ”

Not to mention, Xiao Feng's idioms are very proficient, and it seems that when he entered the palace, he didn't miss a lot of drafts.

"Get out." Emperor Xia seemed to be in a bad mood and scolded.

"Okay." Xiao Feng fartfully rolled out, thinking in his heart that his father must be angry with Xiao Rui, and if he didn't punish himself, then he would have no responsibility of his own.

Only then did he feel relieved.

Emperor Xia didn't have time to be quiet, and His Royal Highness Xiao Yan entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

This is a sincere plea for Xiao Rui, but his temper is too impulsive: "Father, it is impossible for the seventh brother to do something to curse his father, this must be a frame-up!" It's a planting! It's a blame! This is the grievance of June Flying Snow! Father, Seventh Brother, he has no mother since he was a child, and he is not favored by you, he is pitiful enough, he is even short of silver on weekdays, he doesn't even have a home of his own, he has never complained, and he has never complained to you, I see all of this, do you know? ”

was accused by his son, and Emperor Xia's face was not very good.

"Father, don't be a faint king! This is not what Ming Jun did, Seventh Brother was wronged. Xiao Yan shouted loudly.

Emperor Xia really didn't want to pay attention to him, so he waved his hand again and again, letting people carry Xiao Yan out of the palace, out of sight and out of mind.

What Emperor Xia didn't expect was that Xiao Ze, the third prince, also came to ask for Xiao Rui. He was very subtle, he just hoped that the Zongren Mansion could investigate thoroughly, and if there was no detailed evidence, he could not frame a prince just by relying on a witch puppet.

Except for these three princes entering the palace, the other princes are in a wait-and-see state.

The people of the capital have a lot of discussions, and the seven princes, who are usually low-key and simple, are discussed by the world.

And the investigation of the Zongren Mansion has no clue.

They searched Xiao Rui's residence in Duanwangfu again, but found nothing else, and interrogated Gao Quan and the servants of Duanwangfu, but to no avail. Xiao Mingying also ordered that Xiao Rui should not be interrogated without authorization, so the matter could only drag on without result.

Xiao Rui was happy, eating and drinking, waiting for the next good show.

Sure enough, the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to impeach Xiao Rui.

Impeachment of three deadly crimes:

"First, deviant and not doing business. Absenteeism and laziness, rushing against the master, provocative speech, and not wanting to make progress. ”

"Second, as a son of man, he commits the scourge of witchcraft, curses His Majesty, and is a great sin of unfilial piety."

"Third, as a prince, he has a bad character and is a great rebellion."

Emperor Xia was not angry and threw the impeachment note on the table.

"Who sent it?" Emperor Xia took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

As the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, Gong Hai is responsible for reporting the cabinet to Emperor Xia, so he naturally knows it.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is the vote of Lord Xu, a scholar of Wenhua Palace." Hai Gonggong said.

Emperor Xia nodded, and then asked, "What can I find over there in the Jinyi Division?" ”

"There is important evidence, wait for His Majesty's order." The sea is fair.

Emperor Xia rubbed his eyebrows: "I want to split the Jinyi Division from the twenty-four yamen of the palace and establish the Jinyi Guard, and at the same time you will set up the East Factory." Combine internal and external to carry out espionage and reconnaissance missions. ”

"Yes!" Gonggong Hai knelt on the ground to receive the order.

His face was unwavering, but deep down he was surging. He knew that Emperor Xia had already begun to set up a crown prince and cultivate a sharp weapon for the successor.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang, this is the idea that Emperor Xia has long had, and it has not been set up for a long time, for fear of affecting the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and bringing a bad impact.

Now, this move has finally been taken.

In the world, the person who knows Emperor Xia best is Gonggong Hai, and he naturally understands why Emperor Xia did this.

However, he couldn't guess which prince was the crown prince recognized by Emperor Xia?

It only needs to remember one thing for itself, that it is His Majesty's dog.

The next day, an edict was sent down to the cabinet.

Li Mingchong, who was the first assistant to the cabinet, saw that it was Gonggong Hai who personally handed over the edict, and he had a premonition that something was wrong.

Opening the edict and looking at it carefully, Li Mingchong frowned.

The content is very simple, the Jinyi Division split out of the palace and established the Jinyi Guard, which was transferred by Zhang Yu, the general of the Imperial Forest Army, as the commander and selected members from the forbidden army. Jinyi Wei is in charge of the guards, patrolling and arresting, in charge of the prison, giving the right to patrol and arrest, and has a pacification department.

Hai Dafu, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, established the East Factory, and concurrently served as the eunuch of the East Factory, entrusted with the power of visiting and spying, and set up the East Detective Factory.

Seeing the authority of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Li Mingchong took a deep breath, and couldn't guess Emperor Xia's intentions in his heart, but he knew that from now on, the wind and rain in the capital would not stop.

The cabinet issued an edict to announce it to the world, and the edict was quickly spread to all prefectures and counties in Bactria in the form of post stations.

The first time the people in the capital heard about Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they didn't care too much. On the contrary, some officials are wary.

When Xiao Rui heard about it, he was stunned on the spot.

History is surprisingly unanimous, and the spy structure in my memory that makes people talk about it was quietly established in the Great Xia Kingdom. As a prince, he also has to be careful of the spying of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and he thinks about it.

"Dear Father, you are now in power, why do you still need to do this?" Xiao Rui couldn't figure it out.

But for him, it's better to start his own plans.

Thinking of this, he laid out the paper and began to write.

After packing the envelope and sealing it with fire paint, Xiao Rui ordered someone to invite Xiao Mingying.

"Xiao Rui, what are you looking for this king?" Xiao Mingying's words were kind.

Xiao Mingying was the older of the existing princes and had a high prestige, so Emperor Xia handed over the Zongren Mansion to him. He took good care of these princes.

Xiao Rui arched his hand and said, "Uncle Huang, I have a secret letter here, and I want you to help me transfer it to my father." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Mingying took the secret letter and said with a smile: "You kid, you are very slippery, okay, your imperial uncle will run for you." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Huang." Xiao Rui thanked.

Xiao Mingying nodded and said, "Your temperament is up to your mother, I never believe that you will do something damnable." ”

After that, Xiao Mingying seemed to recall his past, his face was reminiscing, and then he got up and walked out of the room.

Xiao Rui scratched his head, when he crossed over, he had very little memory of his mother, she died too early, and now even her appearance is blurred.

It's strange to say, Xiao Rui hasn't seen his mother's family for many years, his grandfather and grandmother should still be alive, as well as his uncle and aunt, why don't they come to the capital?

Could it be that there are other hidden secrets?
