Zhu Xinzhi's entry into the palace this time was indeed for Ran Chenglin's business.

After Bao Shengzhai listened to the storytelling and everyone's discussions, he felt strange in his heart, and an indescribable feeling permeated his mind. When others mentioned Pei Xietang's name, they knew where this strange thing came from.

Pei Xie Tang's case was tried by him personally, and he was convinced that Pei Xie Tang deserved it, that is, there was tangible evidence in every case. In fact, compared to the murder case, Pei Xie Tang's corruption and bribery case was the most shocking thing for him. Pei Xie Tang said that she was hot-blooded, that she was frivolous, and that she didn't take human life seriously, but to say that she abandoned her principles and beliefs, he was the most skeptical.

The Pei family has a strict upbringing, which seems to be loose and conniving, but in fact, they never relax on many issues of principle.

Pei Yongjun came from the martial arts sect and was loyal to the army and the country, which no one in the Holy Heaven or even the entire Eastern Continent had ever doubted. The daughter he taught should not have done such a treasonous and rebellious thing. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that in the nineteenth year of Xuanqing, Pei Xie Tang dared to exchange his reward for food to help the victims, and this person's nature would not be so bad.

When the case was first tried, he questioned Pei Xie Tang's corruption and bribery, but at that time, the evidence was ironclad and irrefutable, and Pei Xie Tang's guilt was convicted.

But now, these people reminded Zhu Xinzhi that the most ironclad 50,000 taels of silver was precisely the key to this old case.

Zhu Xinzhi entered the palace overnight.

Emperor Xuanqing had already fallen asleep, and when he heard that the prince of Huai'an was coming, he summoned his son in the Xihe Palace.

Zhu Xinzhi came in and confessed first: "Father, my sons disturb my father's sleep late at night, please punish my father!" ”

"You have always been steady, and you still entered the palace at this hour, what happened?" Emperor Xuanqing was a little sleepy, but he had always been generous to this son and did not have a word of reproach.

Zhu Xinzhi straightened up and looked at Emperor Xuanqing: "Father, the son is here for the Ran Chenglin case." As soon as Erchen returned to the capital from Yizhou, he heard others talking on the street, saying that Ran Chenglin, the Taishou of Mingcheng, had always liked to search for people's fat and ointment in the local area to fill his private treasury. Now that the court has accepted this case, but there has been no movement, why is this? ”

"Oh, you said that." Emperor Xuanqing yawned: "This is a trivial matter, now that people have been detained in the prison, it is okay to let the Criminal Department deal with civilian grievances at any time." ”

"Father, the emperor and his sons think that the foundation of the country and the stability of the society are all about how to stabilize the hearts of the people. Nowadays, there are many wars in the Eastern Continent, many people have been displaced, and there are many people who have grievances against the imperial court. If at this time, our court does not take the governance of corrupt officials seriously, and for the people, they must have no confidence in the king and the court. Ran Chenglin's matter seems to be just the corruption of local petty officials, but the amount is so huge that it should be taken seriously. Zhu Xinzhi said slowly, with no arrogance or impatience in his tone.

Emperor Xuanqing thought for a while, and then said, "What does it mean according to your meaning?" ”

Zhu Xinzhi replied: "The existence of the son is to share the worries of his father and brother, please ask the father to believe the son and hand over the case to the son to deal with, and the son will be able to give his father a satisfactory answer." ”

"Okay, then you can do it." Emperor Xuanqing had always believed in his ability, and agreed without thinking about it.

Zhu Xinzhi thanked him, and when he lowered his head, there was finally a smile in his eyes.

That's the end of it.

Emperor Xuanqing's drowsiness also woke up, and when he saw him standing, he beckoned to him: "You have also entered the palace, come and play a game of chess with me." ”

"Father." Zhu Xinzhi looked up and looked outside: "It's late, my father will have an early court tomorrow, so let's rest early." When the son left to go to Yizhou, his father's old illness attacked, and now he is getting better? ”

"It's all right." Emperor Xuanqing got his concern, his eyes were crooked, and he looked at him with love: "What's more, as soon as you return to Beijing, you will send the treasure you found for me in Yizhou, that He Shou Wu has been more than two hundred years old, and even the imperial doctors say that it is a rare treasure, which is of great benefit to my illness." ”

"That's good." Zhu Xinzhi nodded.

Emperor Xuanqing beckoned to him, and the inner supervisor sent him a chessboard, which was really a game.

Zhu Xinzhi couldn't shirk it, so he had to sit down opposite Emperor Xuanqing. Emperor Xuanqing took the black chess, Zhu Xinzhi took the white chess, and the father and son concentrated on playing chess.

After a game, Emperor Xuanqing said with a smile: "The emperor's chess skills are getting more and more sophisticated, and now let me have three sons, I still can't win against you." ”

"It's my father who is not attentive." Zhu Xinzhi said lightly: "If my father has anything on his mind, just say it, and his sons are willing to share his father's worries." ”

"You can't hide anything from your eyes. However, this is very good, among my sons, you are the only one who dares to tell me like this, what do you ask directly. Emperor Xuanqing looked at him with great satisfaction: "Unlike your brothers, they are all trembling when they talk now, which is really not fun." ”

"The brothers have their own considerations, only the sons are more frivolous." Zhu Xinzhi opened his mouth unhurriedly, his eyes still on the chessboard: "Father, it's your turn." ”

Emperor Xuanqing gave birth to a son.

He looked at Zhu Xinzhi with a smile, and when he saw this son playing chess intently, he couldn't help but laugh deeper. Zhu Xinzhi is good at this, he will not hide and conceal anything, even in front of himself, the emperor, he is not willing to hide it. This reassured him that as a king, at his age, what he was most afraid of was that his sons would have different intentions, either brothers would turn against each other, or do something unimaginable for the throne.

In order to avoid this situation, Emperor Xuanqing set up a crown prince early. Only now it seems that in terms of ability, Zhu Xinzhi is actually far more suitable than the prince.

Feng Qiu, a person who is upright, bold and open, should have such courage for the monarch, so that the atmosphere of the court can be clear and clear. The prince is also very good, but sometimes he attaches too much importance to gains and losses, which makes him very worried, if he is afraid of Zhu Xinzhi after a hundred years, it will threaten Zhu Xinzhi's life.

Swear to heaven and never be king.

Zhu Xinzhi's oath was still forced by him to his son at the beginning......

In this regard, Emperor Xuanqing was very guilty.

Looking at his son's quiet and beautiful face, Emperor Xuanqing was even more weak-hearted, put down the chess pieces in his hand, and smiled slightly: "Xinzhi, you are not too young, you are only two or three years younger than the prince, but now the princes in the prince's mansion are all four years old, and Yongyan in your second brother's mansion is also two years old, although there is no prince in your three mansions, but now his main concubine and side concubine are pregnant, and he will be able to add Ding at the end of the year, when will there be a letter in your mansion?" ”

"Father." Zhu Xinzhi's hand trembled slightly, and he put down the chess pieces uneasily.

Emperor Xuanqing continued: "You are always so alone, your mother is really worried. ”

"Erchen has his own plans." Zhu Xinzhi's fingertips of the white chess pieces swirled, his eyes fell on the chessboard, but he remembered the flower-like smile in front of him, and he whispered: "In the heart of Erchen, there are people." ”

"Still can't forget her?" Emperor Xuanqing's pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at his son for a while: "I asked you if you had affection for Pei Xie Tang at the beginning, but you said no, but now you ......."

Zhu Xinzhi saw that he had no intention of playing chess, and it seemed that he was going to give him an answer to this question today, so after thinking for a while, he simply put down the chess pieces: "Erchen has never deceived his father. How did the sons and daughters answer their fathers at the beginning, and how they still answer their fathers today. Erchen doesn't like Pei Xie Tang, as the kind of liking between men and women, it has never been before. But Pei Xie Tang grew up with Erchen, and to Erchen, she was a friend. She did such a thing of betraying the country to seek glory, and her sons were really saddened. ”

"Then why are you ......" Emperor Xuanqing was puzzled: "She is dead, and no one dares to stop you from getting married." ”

"In fact, at the beginning, it was Pei Xie Tang who prevented Erchen from getting married, and later, it was Erchen himself who didn't want to get married. Erchen knew in his heart that if Erchen got married, it would be difficult for his father to do it. Zhu Xindi whispered: "It will also make it difficult for the eldest brother." ”

What his words meant, Emperor Xuanqing knew it.

Today, the most powerful clans on the Eastern Continent are the Meng family, the Chen family and the Qu family. In order to find a balance between these three families, Emperor Xuanqing successively married Empress Chen, Concubine Qu and Concubine Meng. Now the crown prince is the son of Empress Chen, the second prince is the son of Meng Guifei, and Zhu Xinzhi is the son of Qu Guifei, which has reached an unprecedented balance. In the imperial court, the Chen family was the leader, the Meng family and the Qu family restrained each other, and the Qu family was superior.

Once Zhu Xinzhi has the idea of getting married, the Qu family will have hope, and it will inevitably cause many incidents.

Not to mention the candidate who has worked hard to win over, it must be an intricate relationship with the clan, even if you have a child, most of them will make many people suspicious.

Rather than this, it is better to be clean.

Emperor Xuanqing was silent for a while, and after a while, he raised his eyes: "The person in your heart is not Pei Xie Tang, who is that?" ”

"It's not a woman from a big family." Zhu Xinzhi said lightly: "If it is possible, when the future settles down, the son will bring her to his father." ”

Thinking of the man's mouthful of rhetoric, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Father will like her." ”

When Emperor Xuanqing saw him so forbearing, he suddenly felt that he owed a lot to this son, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good." Which family's daughter is it, is it from the capital or outside Beijing? ”

"In the capital, her father is Xie Tingwei." He whispered.

"Then bring it to me tomorrow. Since you are not a child of a big family, it will not have much effect on the situation, and your father does not want to wronged you in this kind of matter. Emperor Xuanqing patted him on the shoulder lovingly, and his tone was extremely happy: "Let's go down here today, you can get out of the palace quickly." ”

Zhu Xinzhi bowed and retired.

As soon as he left, Emperor Xuanqing was happy, and nodded straight to the inner supervisor behind him, almost moved to tears.

It's not easy, for this son who has been staggering to twenty-five and doesn't even have a concubine, he finally found his sweetheart! Emperor Xuanqing pondered whether he should hurry up and give a marriage and hug the little cub of his fifth son's family in the coming year!
