Entering the noon gate and passing through the palace, Bai Hanyan felt more and more that he was walking on thin ice, and he was in crisis step by step. Along the way, the palace was majestic, the guards were mighty, the flags were waving, and the royal style was undoubtedly revealed, and Bai Hanyan felt his insignificance at this moment.

As he stepped on the end of the stone steps, the eunuch shouted: "Xuanguiyang pushes the official Han Yan to meet you." ”

Bai Hanyan walked in from the main gate, walked to the main hall among the hundred officials, bowed to the ground and said: "Guiyang pushes the official Han Yan to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

In the middle of the sound, a majestic voice came from above the hall: "You solved Wang Jin's case?" ”

Bai Hanyan faced the red bricks, thinking that this was the brick and stone that his father had walked on, and unconsciously said loudly: "If you go back to the emperor, it was Weichen who broke it." ”

"Look up." The Emperor's voice was unmistakable.

Bai Hanyan slowly raised his head, but he didn't dare to look directly, the golden luan throne in front of him seemed to be extremely high and far, and the people above seemed to be unreachable.

The supreme in the world on the ninety-five platform, Emperor Yongle is over fifty years old, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, symbolizing the color of power, and his eyes are as sharp as eagle eyes, as if he can see through her heart at a glance.

He lowered his eyes, his eyes seemed to be looking at Bai Hanyan, and the civil and military officials in the hall began to whisper, Bai Hanyan frowned at their words, probably because this official was so young, really so capable, this kind of questioning.

And the emperor let them talk, and he said in the middle of the voice:

"Wang Aiqing, what do you think of what the officials are talking about?"

When the words fell, a civil official of about thirty stepped out beside Bai Hanyan, holding a jade gui, embroidering a peacock on a red robe, Bai Hanyan saw his position, and knew that this person was Wang Xin, the envoy of the third grade.

Wang Xin faced the emperor, bowed down and replied with a solemn face: "Weichen thinks that investigating and catching the murderer should be regardless of age, relying on courage and strategy. ”

Bai Hanyan chuckled in his heart, this person is upright and righteous, but not tactful, his father said that Wang Xin was a good official, but unfortunately he was an unsociable official.

"Your Excellency, Lord Wang's words are wrong."

Suddenly, a red scarlet robe stepped out in front of Bai Hanyan, and a crane was embroidered on the clothes, and this official uniform suddenly pierced her eyes like a knife, Bai Hanyan gritted her teeth, her fingertips were deeply inserted into the flesh, but she didn't feel the pain, she took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

This dress, every time my father went to court, he would wear the official uniform of the first-class household servant, but now, it is neatly put on someone else's body.

"Oh? Jiang Aiqing, what are your different opinions/" The emperor changed his posture on the dragon chair and asked with a slight raised brow.

"Xia Guan thinks that this young man is good, but when he is in his prime, he is easy to do wrong things and go astray, if it is under the influence and instigation of bad people, this possibility is even worse, is the so-called upper beam not right and lower beam crooked?"

As soon as Wang Zuonong, the head of the household, echoed and said yes, the emperor above Jin Luan did not speak, but looked at Bai Hanyan with a smile, as if watching her reaction.

Bai Hanyan sneered in her heart, this is clearly setting up a trap to test her, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, isn't it that Duan Changge instigated her to shield the Wu rebels, as long as she is a little timid, she will naturally show her feet, and then the emperor will take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole to get out her words.

Thinking of this, Bai Hanyan hugged his fists and said to Wang Weinong in front of him: "Lord Wang's words are wrong, my people in Guiyang are bathed in the blessings of the Ming Dynasty, and I am grateful for His Majesty's kindness every day, and Commander Duan is even more emulated and obeys His Majesty's benevolence to govern the world, and everything is based on the safety of the people, not to mention that the elite soldiers under Lord Duan are the descendants of the 300,000 soldiers personally trained by Emperor Taizu Gao, how can there be a saying that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked?" ”

As soon as Bai Hanyan said this, he moved the emperor and Emperor Taizu out, Zhang Zuonong's finger and scolded Huai directly on the emperor's head, and the implication was that it was the improper upper beam of Taizu and the emperor that made Bai Hanyan's lower beam crooked, and his face changed greatly at the moment, cold sweat flowed, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The sinner is panicked." ”

There was a sudden silence above the main hall, and even the breathing of the hundred officials seemed to be inaudible.

After a long time, the Yongle Emperor in the palace raised his head and laughed, and said with a kind face: "Wang Aiqing is okay, what a boy with sharp teeth." ”

After a pause, the emperor suddenly smiled, his face was still kind, but his voice suddenly became a little colder, and said:

"However, I am curious, this Wu traitor is treacherous and cunning, elusive, and Wang Jin's death is almost flawless, you didn't use a single soldier of the Yamen, how did you subdue the two of them, could it be that Aiqing is extraordinary in martial arts?"

The emperor's expression was very kind, and Bai Hanyan saw doubt, inquiry, and ruthlessness in his eyes.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ji Bangyue, was wearing the duties of a guard, beside the emperor under the Jinluan chair, wearing a bullfighting python robe, with his hand on the handle of the tiger head knife at his waist, and he was looking at her with a smile at the moment.

Bai Hanyan knew that the emperor was testing her, and from beginning to end, this supreme in the world had never believed in the twists and turns of Duan Changge.

Bai Hanyan bowed his head and raised his eyes, and the words were sonorous and powerful: "Back to the emperor's words, Weichen thought that although the Wu clan was cunning, the purpose of their trip was not only to force the prefect to death, but also to frame the commander of Duan, so the lower official and the commander Duan consulted, and the commander Duan personally used the bait to attract the traitor to appear and assassinate, and the commander of Duan made the martial arts outstanding, and captured it in one fell swoop, so that the lower officials could arrest the culprit." ”

"In this way, this is all due to Duan Aiqing." The emperor's voice was not angry.

Bai Hanyan responded: "It's Lord Duan who is loyal, but he can't prevent that thief from framing him." Bai Hanyan's implication is that this anonymous letter may be a traitor's frame-up.

Halfway, the emperor was speechless, Bai Hanyan lowered his eyebrows, but he felt two scorching lights above his head, as if he wanted to burn her. The sweaty palms in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and he tried his best to calm himself down, so that his eyes were clear and his face was not afraid.

Suddenly, the emperor on the throne of Jinluan suddenly smiled loudly and exclaimed: "What a loyal, very peaceful. ”

The emperor smiled, and the atmosphere of the entire hall relaxed.

"Ji Aiqing, you see that this little pusher is not very old, and he is quite bold." The emperor poked his head out slightly, and seemed to Ji Bangyue to be chattering.

Ji Bangyue leaned down towards the emperor, her eyes fell on Bai Hanyan obliquely, and she chuckled: "You are indeed bold. Xia Guan had seen it when he met her at the beginning. ”

Bai Hanyan still lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, pursing his lips and saying nothing.

Ji Bangyue then said: "This little official doesn't even give face to Lord Duan. ”

The emperor sat up straight, and his eyes fell on Bai Hanyan, who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, and said: "It's a character, as the saying goes, he has a strong temper and ability, and it's true, unlike you Jinyiwei, after Lin Zhifan returned from collecting the corpse of the rebel Bai Jingxuan five years ago, he has been missing, and there are still ridiculous words about being captured by ghosts. ”

Ji Bangyue's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she promised repeatedly, not daring to speak.

And at this moment, the white cold smoke that His Highness was kneeling on was like five thunderbolts, and the blood flowed backwards!

Father's name is like three thunderbolts, words smashed on the tip of her heart, five years ago, she didn't check, who took away her father's body back then, only found out that it was the emperor who used Jinyiwei at that time, but never thought that the person who collected the body would also be missing, could it be, he was killed and killed?

The emperor looked at Bai Hanyan's body trembling, but when she was afraid, he raised his lips and smiled: "That's it, that's it, let's talk about it, what reward do you want?" ”

At this moment, Bai Hanyan's mind was still in chaos, and he didn't hear the emperor's words, he was silent for a while, and the emperor's eyes sank slightly.

Wang Xin, the inspector behind Bai Hanyan, suddenly cleared his throat, Bai Hanyan suddenly woke up, and immediately bowed to the ground and said: "Weichen doesn't dare to ask for a reward from Your Majesty, but only wants to do his best for the Ming Dynasty, solve the doubtful case, and show the truth and justice in the world." ”

The emperor's face paleated slightly, and he smiled with satisfaction: "It's a good way to show the truth and justice in the world, which is exactly what I want, since you don't want to reward it, I can meet your request, Han Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Bai Hanyan slowly straightened up, knowing that this was the big stone that fell into the lake, raised his eyes and looked at Ling Che, and said in a loud voice: "Weichen wants to find out for Your Majesty the case of Jinyi Wei Lin's murder five years ago. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Not only was the emperor in the Jinluan Palace stunned, but even the envoy Wang Xin behind him, and Ji Bangyue on the emperor's side also changed their faces suddenly.

Ji Bangyue scolded angrily at the moment: "Presumptuous! ”

Bai Hanyan was not afraid, and said loudly: "Someone has to come to investigate the case, since Jinyiwei can't find the answer, then Weichen is willing to share the worries for Master Ji." ”

Ji Bangyue immediately kowtowed to the emperor's robe and said, "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei is willing to thoroughly investigate the case of Lin Zhifan's murder five years ago, so it is not up to Han Tuiguan to bother. ”

Bai Hanyan clenched his fists and bit his lip.

The emperor bowed his head and said nothing, as if he was contemplating it, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Zuonong immediately said: "The minister thinks that since it is an internal matter of Jinyiwei, it is still Jinyiwei himself who has done it." Master Ji's ability is obvious to all. ”

Wang Xin also stood up at this moment, and said loudly: "The minister thinks that it is better to leave this matter to Han Tuiguan to investigate, the minister does not believe in Master Ji's ability, but since it is an internal matter of Jinyiwei, it is better for Jinyiwei to avoid suspicion." ”

Hearing this, the emperor touched his chin and nodded, "Wang Aiqing is reasonable. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's ......" Ji Bangyue hurriedly said, but was interrupted by the emperor waving his hand, and said: "Ji Aiqing, Jinyiwei still has a lot of things to do, so leave such a small case to him." The matter was decided. ”

Bai Hanyan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your trust." ”

Wang Zuonong in front of him smiled at her, raised his head and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Han Tuiguan is young after all, and it is inevitable that he will be a little scattered, Your Majesty might as well let her make a military order, I think Han Tuiguan will definitely do his best." ”
