Emperor Hui ordered people to take the prince and others to the east side hall of the Qiande Palace, and when it was cold, he often met with his courtiers here to deal with political affairs.

When I arrived at the place, I saw that not only the prince was there, but also Lu Zheng and Wen Tao, as well as Shuntian Mansion Yin, Jing Zhaoyin, and the squire of the Criminal Department, I couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then my eyes narrowed slightly.

Seemingly...... The prince has a lot to report!

Emperor Hui was a little unhappy, both unfazed by being disturbed and doubtful about the prince's ability.

In previous years, King Rui was in charge of the Lantern Festival, and there was nothing, but this year's errand was handed over to the prince, and something happened, and it may be a big event, he will inevitably feel that it is because the prince's ability is not good.

Because he was a little dissatisfied with the crown prince, Emperor Hui couldn't help but bring out a little bit when he spoke and acted.

Emperor Hui entered the East Side Palace, and the prince and others were naturally busy saluting and greeting.

But after they saluted, Emperor Hui did not call out for a long time.

It wasn't until he sat down for a long time that he heard Emperor Hui say a word of exemption, and then asked the prince lightly: "What, this is the end of the lantern festival." ”

This is somewhat knowingly asked.

Fortunately, the crown prince has always known Emperor Hui's temper, so when he heard this, his face did not change, and he still replied respectfully: "Back to my father, the lantern festival is not over yet, and the sons and daughters are here to repay them." ”

"Important matter...... Emperor Hui had a headache when he heard these two words, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly, and he stared at the prince for a long time before he asked reluctantly, "What's the matter?" ”

Emperor Hui's voice was obviously unhappy, everyone heard it clearly, except for Lu Zheng and Wen Tao, the other adults couldn't help but be a little worried.

The crown prince was not affected, and still replied respectfully: "Back to my father, my son's son was negligent, someone set fire to and killed someone on Pinghu, and my son found out something wrong, so he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he had to come and ask his father to make a judgment." ”

"Arson? And dead people?! Emperor Hui expected that the matter that the prince was going to report would not be small, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that it was arson and murder.

It's not just a big deal, it's a big deal!

On the New Year's Day, there was a murder, and the prince's errand was really "good"!

And what did the prince say? Oversight?

"You still know you're overlooking!" Emperor Hui's anger was a little upsurged.

He still knows that he has neglected to observe, should he still praise him?

The Son of Heaven was angry, and all the ministers were subdued, except for the prince, the rest knelt down and begged Emperor Hui to calm his anger.

The crown prince also bowed down and said: "Please let my father calm his anger, my son is at fault, please ask my father to deal with it later, but there is a major matter that needs to be decided by my father." ”

When Emperor Hui heard this, he glared at the prince angrily, but in the end he still spit out one word: "Say!" ”

The prince told Emperor Hui that the murderer of the Pinghu arson murder case might be related to the Xiongnu.

As he expected, after Emperor Hui heard this, he really didn't care about pursuing him.

"What do you say, it's the Huns who kill people!" Hui Di looked genuinely shocked.

The prince bowed down and replied: "As far as the evidence that Erchen currently has, there are nine times out of ten, and there is a little Erchen who feels very inappropriate, someone heard one of the people, saying that the killing was a prince, involving people in the royal family, Erchen was very panicked after hearing it, and then sent someone to check the identity of the deceased, and found that the deceased had a concubine, who was the niece of the housekeeper of Xu Shangshufu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the son boldly speculated that the prince said in the mouth of the murderer was very likely to be the eldest brother, and the side concubine of the eldest imperial brother was the second daughter of Xu Shangshu. ”

"Father, the Huns' move is intended to provoke civil strife in Kyoto, and their hearts can be punished, please make a clear decision from the Father's Sacred Heart!"

As soon as the prince's voice fell, Lu Zheng and the others also said: "Please make a clear decision with the emperor's sacred heart." ”

Emperor Hui also wanted the Sacred Heart to make a clear decision, but he was angry at this time.

Not to mention that the Huns killed people and set fires, they also wanted to kill his son, which is simply too arrogant!

In a fit of rage, Emperor Hui wanted to call someone, but as soon as he said "come here", he paused.

He slowly calmed down and began to think about more important questions.

He could have immediately summoned all the important ministers of the court and the central government to discuss the matter, but before that, what was his own plan?

called the ministers in, it was nothing more than two results, either war or peace, is he himself the main war or the main peace?

The prince knew more about Emperor Hui, and when he saw Emperor Hui hesitate, he knew that Emperor Hui was unsure whether to fight or make peace.

His father, the emperor, is fine on weekdays, but as long as this kind of thing happens, it is difficult to decide.

Over the years, if the father could have made up his mind to swear to get rid of the Huns, Lu Zheng and they would have beaten the Huns to the point that they had no power to fight back, but the father's attitude towards the Huns was always repeated, so that the Lu family was restrained many times, and the Huns were not completely afraid, but gave the Huns the opportunity to constantly make some small moves and nuisance in order to do wrong.

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then said: "Father, the Huns intend to provoke instability in Kyoto, and their hearts can be punished, so please ask your father to ......."

However, before the prince could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Hui, "You said someone is there?" Whoever it is, bring it to me to see, and I will ask it myself. ”

When the prince heard this, he understood that Emperor Hui didn't trust him enough, and when he was discouraged, he could only ask someone to bring Su Yuan up first.

......

Su Yuan drank a cup of tea in the tea room next to the East Side Palace, and then heard the summons of the chamberlain, saying that the emperor wanted to see him.

He put down the teacup, straightened his clothes, and followed the waiter into the east side hall.

After entering, he didn't dare to raise his head without an order, but he didn't seem to flinch, and followed the chamberlain to the center of the east side hall, and knelt down.

After Emperor Hui entered the Dongbei Hall from Su Yuan, he had been looking at this young man.

Seeing that he was wearing an ordinary cotton robe, but he did not hide his handsome demeanor, he had a good impression in his heart.

When Su Yuan knelt down and saluted, he heard his clear voice, and he didn't see the tone of his breath between his words, so he liked it even more.

Looking like this, he looks like a scholar, but not like a businessman.

Emperor Hui nodded secretly, but his tone remained majestic, "Raise your head and talk back." ”

Su Yuan raised his head according to his words, but he didn't look directly at Emperor Hui, but lowered his eyes slightly and knelt straight.

Emperor Hui saw that Su Yuan was advancing and retreating, and he couldn't help but feel better about him, so he didn't deliberately keep a straight face when he asked again, "I heard, did you hear the culprit speak?" ”

When Su Yuan heard this, he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Back to the emperor, the grass people did hear it. ”

"Oh? Then I want to ask you, how can you speak Xiongnu when you are a businessman? ”

Before Su Yuan came, he had heard the prince say the question that Emperor Hui might ask, so he was not panicked, and when Emperor Hui asked about this, he replied in a kind manner, he had the experience of staying in the north, so he could speak some Xiongnu language.
