Chapter 196: Treat everyone equally
Entering the imperial study, Yu carefully asked Emperor Jingming for peace: "Erchen has seen his father." β
He has never changed the clothes he wore when he was attacked, and the tears and blood stains on the sleeves immediately attracted the attention of Emperor Jingming.
The bloodstain stabbed Emperor Jingming's heart.
Regardless of what he does to this son, Lao Qi is the seventh prince of the dynasty, the dignified Yan King, and someone assassinated him at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he also used a quenched dagger!
So what kind of thoughts did the perpetrator have, and where did he put him?
The more Emperor Jingming thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he lost so much anger at Yu Jin's absurd act of running to Shuntian Mansion to report to the official.
Despite this, whether it is from the position of the emperor or the position of Lao Tzu, it is necessary to knock it when it is due.
"Attacked today?"
Yu Jin lowered his eyes: "The son's unfilial piety makes my father worried." β
Emperor Jingming touched his nose.
Who's worried? This kid is really self-inflicted.
But the emperor did not deny it, and the ministers in the imperial study were a little surprised.
I didn't expect His Majesty to be quite concerned about King Yan, which is a little inconsistent with their previous cognition, and it seems that they will readjust their positioning of King Yan in the future.
Among them, Shangshu of the Criminal Department thinks the most.
Since the Seven Princes returned to the capital, they have hardly appeared on any occasions, and it can be said that they have no sense of existence in the capital, and many people are waiting to see what will happen when the prince reaches the age of eighteen and is still not summoned by the emperor, but he didn't expect the Seven Princes to meet the emperor with a group fight.
In the eyes of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, this is simply a life after death, and the Seventh Prince undoubtedly made the right bet, and a chance to face the saint allowed him to be crowned king smoothly. And this time, the Seventh Prince actually saw the emperor again!
King Yan is not to be underestimated.
Emperor Jingming looked at his son, and his eyebrows gradually twisted into the Sichuan character: "Offended people again?" β
The Son of Heaven said this, and he would panic if he put it on others, but Yu Jin didn't care at all, and his face didn't change in the slightest: "After Erchen returned to Beijing, he had little contact with people, and he couldn't think of offending anyone." β
"Did you offend less on your birthday?" Emperor Jingming blurted out.
Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "I offended a few brothers." β
Emperor Jingming suddenly had an urge to kick people.
Today's gaffe, when he said this, isn't it equivalent to telling others that it was other sons who shot at Lao Qi?
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and there are three old guys in the imperial study.
The three "old guys" looked at each other, with innocent expressions that I hadn't heard anything about.
Emperor Jingming's suspicious thoughts were like sparks burning the prairie and couldn't be stopped.
After Lao Qi returned to the capital, he lived in a simple place, which he knew, and the people who offended him were those brothers. Could it be that because of a fight, some of them did such a vicious attack on their own brothers?
The family affection of the Heavenly Family is weak, but it is precisely because of this that Emperor Jingming is particularly taboo about fratricide.
Sending out dead soldiers, daggers quenching poison, this is very different from the nature of group fighting.
The more Emperor Jingming thought about it, the more annoyed he became, but his face was silent, and he lightly said to the three Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "You don't have to meddle in this matter anymore, just hand it over to Jinlanwei for thorough investigation." β
Yu Jin listened, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
No matter who comes to check and how much is found, anyway, it is only good for him and there is no harm to him, so it is right to say that his son has been wronged and sued Lao Tzu.
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't ask for it, so they hurriedly responded.
can be regarded as throwing this hot potato out, whoever likes to take it will take it.
The atmosphere in the imperial study was a little solemn, and Emperor Jingming glanced at Pan Hai with a calm face: "Pan Hai, go and ask Dou Shangshu, is he going to stay in Yanwangfu until the New Year to live alone?" β
The three of them exchanged glances, and the secret Ministry of Industry Shangshu was really a disaster.
"Alright, you guys stand down."
"The ministers are leaving."
Seeing that Yu Jin was about to retreat with the three Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Emperor Jingming raised his eyelids: "Old Seven, you stay." β
Under the strange gaze of the three Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Yu Jin stopped.
Waiting for the outsiders to retreat, Emperor Jingming's posture relaxed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Old Seven, do you still have any rules, why did you go to Shuntianfu to report to the official after being attacked?" β
The dignified prince, his prince, actually ran to report to the official like a small people, and he could almost imagine the expressions of those people when this kid revealed his identity.
"Who are you?"
"Born in the royal family, my father is today's son."
As long as he thought about it, Emperor Jingming felt that this old face had been lost!
Yu Jin was silent for a moment, and then raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jingming: "Erchen doesn't know what to do when he encounters this kind of thing, and the first thing that comes to mind is to report to the official." β
The young man's eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, and his temperament is as clean and clear as the snow in the mountains, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
And people or things that are pleasing to the eye are always favored.
Emperor Jingming looked at his beautiful son, and suddenly thought that he had been floating outside the palace for more than ten years, especially when he was far away in the uncivilized southern Xinjiang, and it was really common to not understand the rules.
How could he expect a child raised in the mountains to know how to raise his eyebrows and eyes like a man who grew up in the palace? This is like disliking wild wolves and not eating grass, which is not what Mingjun should do.
"Ahem, when you stay in the palace, there will be subordinate officials, and someone will take care of these things for you at that time, and you will never come back in the future."
"Erchen knows that he is wrong." Yu Jin admitted his mistake quite happily.
Anyway, admitting mistakes will not be missing a piece of meat, as for whether others will lose a piece of meat, then he doesn't care.
"Alright, you stand down. It's okay to stay in the residence, don't mess with trouble all day. β
"The sons and daughters obey the teachings of their father."
Looking at his calm and obedient son, Emperor Jingming faintly had an ominous premonition.
I always feel that I don't have so much leisure to read the book in the future.
Forget it, out of sight and out of mind.
Emperor Jingming waved his hand to signal Yu Jin to retreat, and waited for the commander of the Jinliang Guard more than an hour later.
"Say it." Seeing that the commander of the Jin Scale Guard wanted to stop talking, Emperor Jingming said impatiently.
The commander of the Jinlan Guard lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is no clue to the person who attacked the Yan King, and the only abnormality is ...... King Lu had wandered around the vicinity of King Yan's temporary residence today, and King Yan had a brief conversation with King Lu before entering the palaceβ"
"This bastard!" Emperor Jingming was so angry that he slapped the dragon case.
In his heart, Yu Jin was just an insignificant prince inside and outside the court, and even to him, how could such a person lead people to kill people?
He had to suspect several sons.
"King Chuanlu enters the palace!"
Pan Hai was about to leave, and Emperor Jingming shouted to him: "Wait, pass several princes into the palace." β
Even if the fifth child is the most suspicious, it is too ugly to hear such a thing as fratricide, not to mention that there is no evidence.
Emperor Jingming decided to call several sons into the palace and beat them all equally.
Pan Hai lowered his eyebrows and walked to the door of the imperial study, and was stopped by Emperor Jingming: "Call the prince too." β
