Coming out of the yamen of the ministry, Di Fangxing's legs and feet were weak, and he stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, his henchmen helped him in time.

"Your Excellency." The henchman helped Di Fangxing, thinking of the scene in the mansion just now, he couldn't help but have a headache, "Do you want to say hello to the household department?" ”

"Just find someone to talk to." After Di Fangxing stood firm, he waved his hand impatiently, "Jiang Zhongze will also be there to keep an eye on, now the trouble is Your Majesty, we are here to arrest people, and arresting Li Xiuyuan is to cut first and then play!" ”

The henchman's face changed slightly: "I heard that Taishi Guo was killed last night, and before dawn today, His Majesty went to Taishi's mansion, and he hasn't left the mansion yet." ”

Taishi Guo passed away, no matter what discord there was between this grandfather and granddaughter, in the end, His Majesty still remembered the old love, otherwise he would not have left the palace early in the morning. At such a time, how can His Majesty's mood be better? At this time, I really don't know if it will anger Your Majesty.

After all, your heart is unpredictable!

For many years, Di Fang's behavior officials have their own set of rules of conduct, such as the Son of Heaven who is in anger or mourning can avoid it.

But today, I can't avoid it.

"Let's go to the Taishi's Mansion first!" Di Fangxing sighed, shook his head, and said with emotion, "After going to the Taishi Mansion, I will enter the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”

The death of the Taishi has long been foreshadowed, although the Guo family is mourning unspeakably, but it will not be caught off guard, when Di Fangxing went to mourn, His Majesty had already returned to the palace. didn't meet in the Taishi Mansion, Di Fangxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After entering the palace, although he did not see His Majesty in the imperial study, he met Miss Xue outside the palace who was talking to a few palace maids beside His Majesty.

Oh, I can't call Miss Xue anymore, I'm going to call Miss Xue.

"Master Di." When Miss Xue saw that it was him, she bowed slightly at him.

Di Fangxing also bowed in return, and was about to speak, but Miss Xue had already spoken one step ahead of him.

"Master Di is here to find Your Majesty! Your Majesty has gone to the Yaoguang Palace. Miss Xue said, her tone stagnated slightly, and she added, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood today." ”

With such an obvious hint, Di Fangxing hurriedly thanked him. He could indeed guess that His Majesty was in a bad mood, but Miss Xue's sentence made him have to admit it.

This female official said that the official position is not too high, but the important thing is the word "imperial front", who often walks in front of His Majesty, and is the person closest to the sacred heart, and often cannot be offended.

After thanking Miss Xue, Di Fangxing turned around and left.

Seeing the back of Di Fangxing's departure, after a long time, Miss Xue withdrew her gaze, and the palace maid on the same side, who was still calm, explained the matter of His Majesty's daily life.

She had a vague sense that something was about to begin.

……

The Yaoguang Hall is not big, but perhaps because there are no people in the hall, it seems empty, Di Fangxing subconsciously touched his arm, a little stunned.

There were only two people in the hall, he and His Majesty, no, three people to be exact, and one was lying behind the screen, still not awake.

When he got closer, the look on His Majesty's face improved, and he looked at him: "Di Fangxing, what's the matter?" ”

Di Fang saluted and got up and bowed his head in return.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Major General Huang is quite similar to an incident more than a year ago."

An Le's eyes turned to the direction of the screen, the daylight was bright, and he could vaguely see someone lying on the bed, breathing steadily and quietly. She was silent for a moment: "Zhang family." ”

Di Fangxing nodded: "There is no way to start with the matter of General Huang, you can start with the matter of the Zhang family." ”

Looking away from the screen, An Le nodded: "The Zhang family's matter has indeed dragged on for too long, and it's time to end it." ”

"Your Majesty said yes." Di Fangxing secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said, "If you don't get rid of the old disease, sooner or later it will cause trouble, and the old disease of the Zhang family should be removed." ”

An Le got up from the chair with a hum, and walked back and forth in the Yaoguang Hall with his hands in his hands: "There are Chen Shan's people in this court, I am not surprised at all. Originally, I thought that as long as Major General Huang had enough troops and horses in front, he would be safe and worry-free, but I didn't expect that the hand that Chen Shan left with us would stretch out to the front instead. When I first ascended the throne, I lacked experience, and I was a little caught off guard by what I could do. But this matter really can't be delayed. ”

Di Fangxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

An Le paused slightly: "I just heard that you and Jiang Zhongze took Li Xiuyuan early in the morning?" ”

"I'm about to make this matter clear to Your Majesty." Di Fangxing knelt down as he spoke, "The ministers will cut first and then play, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”

"There is a reason for this, but what is the sin?" An Le looked at him and said, "Get up!" ”

Di Fangxing got up, and the big stone in his heart also fell to the ground: "Your Majesty Xie." ”

"Li Xiuyuan is just a clown jumping off the beam, so take it and take it." An Le asked, "Did you ask something?" ”

Di Fangxing shook his head: "This person is cold-hearted, cunning and greedy, and he has the first emperor personally named the Great Heavenly Master, he refuses to say anything, and he is suspected of not crying when he sees the coffin!" ”

"I don't cry when I don't see the coffin, it's just because I have something to rely on." An Le's expression did not change, "He is so greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is not afraid at all, which confirms our suspicions, there is a more powerful character than him who has not yet been caught." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Di Fangxing said, "Compared with the matter of General Huang, who has nowhere to start now, the matter of the Zhang family a year ago actually has a lot of flaws. For example, the Heavenly Master said that those down-and-out magnates who moved out for no reason before the Zhang family's accident, in addition to the two households that have been wiped out, there are still four families who have left the capital, and I have asked people to go to the household department to check the whereabouts of this group of people. ”

"You're doing a great job." An Le nodded, "But I have a hunch, I'm afraid that the four families will already be dead when they find it." Chen Shan's biggest help in Beijing was to use his father to carry this pot at that time. Although there is a reason for the emperor, it is more about this person's decision-making, after all, Chen Shan is too far away, this person is not as good as Chen Shan, and he will not be much inferior. ”

"That's what the minister is worried about." Di Fangxing sighed, "So Li Xiuyuan is the only clue we can grasp at the moment, but he refuses to say, so please ask Your Majesty if you want to send the Criminal Department to use the punishment." ”

Jiang Zhongze's old man has some good words, and his opposition to torture is also reasonable, but if this matter is handed over to His Majesty to deal with, it has nothing to do with him if there is an accident, he is just making a suggestion.

has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he is not a fool in vain.

"Why do you have to ask me about this?"

Sure enough, His Majesty asked this sentence.

Di Fangxing was not flustered, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that someone will do something in secret, and Li Xiuyuan will be killed, then it won't be good." No matter how tightly defended it is, it can't be said to be foolproof, in case it is exploited, this clue will be broken again. ”
