Chapter 44: Prince Lian pleaded guilty

She is already lawless before she is canonized, and if she really wants to be canonized, she can't go to the house to reveal the tiles?

Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and someone shouted, "The courtier's rescue is late, the crime deserves death, and I ask the emperor to forgive the sin!" ”

The emperor was injured, and the courtyard was quiet everywhere, especially the emperor, because this person's voice was so high.

As soon as Su Youyi heard that he called himself a younger brother, she knew that it was Prince Lian who was on patrol with the emperor, and couldn't help laughing: "This is the person behind the emperor's good show today?" ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "How do you know?" ”

Su Youyi pursed her lips, "Listening to the voice of the prince, I am not worried about the emperor's injury at all, it seems that Prince Lian is only suitable for behind-the-scenes rehearsals, not very suitable for acting." ”

She got up and said, "The emperor and Prince Lian must have something to say, and the slave and maid will retire first." ”

"No, you've guessed everything anyway, I don't mind letting you know a little more."

He raised his hand, Su Youyi helped him up and sat up straight, and put two soft cushions behind his waist, and the emperor said: "The more you know, the more you can't regret it, once you regret it, I can only kill people and kill people." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and slashed his throat with his thumb on his neck.

Su Youyi stood up angrily, opened the door and saw Prince Lian kneeling in the courtyard, and said busily: "The emperor Xuan Wang Ye went in." ”

Prince Lian Ma Li stood up, patted the dust on his knees and arms, and raised his head to see a white and delicate face, which was not similar to the emperor.

The emperor was born white, but the lines were more tough and concise, he looked handsome and indifferent, and he had to say that he was very attractive to women.

And Prince Lian's face is round, a small baby face, and it is estimated that he will still look like this when he is thirty or forty years old.

He walked over happily and winked at Su Youyi as he passed by, "Thank you Aunt Su for saving the life of the imperial brother, this king will definitely take credit for her aunt." ”

After that, he squeezed his eyes at her, and smiled in his eyes, "Wrap it up on me!" ”

Gao Qishou's master and apprentice were guarding outside the door, and when they heard Prince Lian's words to invite merit, they seemed more excited than Su Youyi.

Xiao Yizi said: "Master, this time Aunt Su won't be an aunt, right?" I'm afraid that it will be aggrieved to say yes. ”

Gao Qishou smiled meaningfully, "It doesn't matter what you seal, what matters is the emperor's will." The emperor likes it, even if it is a palace maid, it is noble. If the emperor doesn't like it, what if it's a high-ranking mother? ”

"How is the royal brother injured? Let my brother take a look! ”

Knowing that the assassins arranged by the emperor himself were measured, Prince Lian still had to pretend not to know.

Yes, as soon as he entered, he ran to the emperor's wound, and the emperor kicked him away with a disgusted face, "Don't act, she already knows." ”

Su Youyi was bringing tea up, and when she heard the emperor's words, she pursed her lips and smiled, Prince Lian looked embarrassed, "The imperial brother told Aunt Su about such a big thing, it's too partial." ”

"She guessed it herself."

The emperor glanced at Su Youyi and patted the position next to his couch, "Don't be busy, Prince Lian is not an outsider, sit down." ”

Prince Lian looked at Su Youyi with a sudden realization, and looked at Su Youyi embarrassed, so she reluctantly sat on half of her ass.

"Congratulations to the emperor, my brother finally made his wish come true, he was able to see the moon in the clouds, and he returned with a beautiful woman!"

Su Youyi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

What are these words he uses?

Look at this Prince Lian's unobtrusive appearance, are you sure it's the emperor's younger brother?

The emperor coughed dryly.

When he first met Su Youyi, it was precisely because of Prince Lian's recommendation that Prince Lian counted half of the matchmaker between the two of them.

Therefore, the emperor's attitude towards Su Youyi has not been hidden from him, but he is quite restrained from Su Youyi on weekdays and does not fully reveal his emotions.

Prince Lian said extraordinarily exaggeratedly, which made both parties a little embarrassed.

The emperor changed the subject, "Okay, don't be poor, how about what I asked you to do?" ”

Prince Lian finally got upright, "Brother Huang, don't worry, it's done." first investigated and dealt with the Hejian Mansion Taiyan Zuo disciple, and followed his line to detain all the relevant personnel of the upper and lower levels in prison, and the highest was investigated to the second rank of the senior officer. used the charge of ineffective guards, so that the emperor was assassinated. ”

The emperor nodded, "Among the subordinate and subordinate officials of Yan Zuo, some of them are not involved in this disaster relief corruption case, can you deal with them separately?" ”

Su Youyi listened to their conversation with her ears propped up, and only then did she understand the purpose of the emperor's deliberate assassination.

He wants to use the reason of the assassination to punish Yan Zuotu and other officials, in fact, to punish them for corruption in disaster relief, which is strange, why not directly punish the crime in the name of corruption?

Thinking of what the emperor said to Ji Yushen in her room that day, Su Youyi vaguely guessed.

The source of corruption is not in local officials such as Yan Zuotu, it should be in the court, and the position is not low, and even the emperor does not dare to act rashly, so Prince Lian will say that the highest investigation is to the second rank of the senior member.

On top of the second grade, there must be some people who have not been investigated.

Prince Lian said: "Before, the imperial brother ordered us to investigate this case, and a very small number of officials who were not involved in the case were recorded, and they have all been imprisoned in order not to startle the snake." The younger brother wants to release these officials for other reasons afterwards, and it will be more appropriate to reactivate them, what does the imperial brother think? ”

"Others are upset, especially that Su Qing is very satisfied. When corruption was rampant in disaster relief in the Hejian area, he not only kept himself clean, but also dared to speak out to rebuke corrupt officials, and he was a talent. ”

Prince Lian said with a smile: "The younger brother knows that the imperial brother values him, and the younger brother also thinks that this person is very good, and he has already taken care of it." Just wait for when the royal brother wants to use it, and then he can return to his official career. ”

The emperor said: "I have to continue to say that my injuries have not healed, and all matters are up to you." Li Ge Lao, you also continue to stare at it, don't startle the snake. ”

Su Youyi's eyebrows jumped, but she didn't expect that the leader was really Li Ge Lao.

Prince Lian bowed his head and said, "What about Ji Yushen?" ”

The emperor glanced at Su Youyi as if he was nonchalant, but the latter didn't react much, still listening silently with his head down like Fang Cai.

He smiled faintly, "Ji Yushen is a smart person, don't worry about him for the time being." ”

Prince Lian looked at Su Youyi with a smile, got up and said, "Then the younger brother will retire first, and don't disturb the imperial brother to recuperate." Aunt Su, ah no, little sister-in-law, you take good care of the royal brother. ”

Saying that, he went out with a smile, and Su Youyi gritted his teeth behind him.

The emperor said lightly: "It's good to listen to it, the fourteenth brother has always had a sweet mouth, and every concubine in the harem is his sister-in-law." But I can tell that he is extra sweet when he calls you. ”

The more Su Youyi looked at Prince Lian's smile, the more she felt that the emperor was tired and panicked all day long.

This emperor is also very difficult to be, right?

Knowing that his subordinates were corrupt, not only could he not justifiably punish their crimes, but he also tried his best to arrange an assassination, so that he could only take the opportunity to punish them.
