Chapter 488: Pairs
When Cao Yu received the holy order to arrest people, there was still chaos in the palace.
The queen mother's illness was repeated, and the seven princes were not well, the emperor was busy on both sides, and his temper was very bad, and the five princes were ordered to think about it behind closed doors and not leave the palace.
Changning didn't have any punishment, but the emperor accepted her right to hear the case, so he expressed his suspicion of her.
Zheng Guifei played this big game of chess, giving up her youngest son, and finally won Changning.
However, this matter is obviously not over yet, Changning just returned to Weiyang Palace, and was not grounded, let alone took away her right to try Zheng Anhou's case.
Even after this incident, Kang Shangshu saw signs of the resurgence of the Zheng family.
That's not going to work.
How many officials in the DPRK and China are the same as Kang Shangshu, either taking revenge or falling into the ground.
If Zheng Anhou's case is not resolved, when the Zheng family takes a breath, there will still be good fruits for them to eat?
Because of this, the enthusiasm of the Criminal Department to try the case has been greatly improved, and there is no need for Changning to say anything, Kang Shangshu took the initiative to ask Ying to report the results.
After all, Zheng Anhou is the first corrupt official in the Chu Dynasty, although he is not to the point of buying and selling officials, but under the connivance of the emperor for many years, he has long been full of evil, and now the wall is down and everyone is pushing, and it is not easy to find some crimes.
Corrupt and perverted the law, stealing and playing tricks, the pen is in the book.
These terms alone are enough for Zheng Anhou to drink a pot.
Changning still doesn't feel enough.
Zheng Anhou colluded with the Turks, teamed up with Jiang Shangshu to frame the Liu family, assassinated the princess, and poisoned the holy bow.
One by one, they are all real crimes, and he is not allowed to deny them.
What's more, Concubine Zheng Guifei is now chopping off her wings.
wants to use the pillow to fold the future of the fifth prince and make her lose her support, how can she be a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Now that the palace is suspected, it is inconvenient to try Zheng Anhou's case," Changning saw Kang Ziming in the back hall of the Criminal Department, and said quietly.
Kang Shangshu was terrified.
"Your Highness, no! Zheng Anhou is a relative of the emperor, if there is no clan relative, it is really difficult for Weichen to handle this case. Kang Shangshu had a bitter face.
If Changning left it alone, he really couldn't check it.
That Zheng Anhou is also a figure who has been known for many years as a small uncle, and he has been the target of everyone's criticism for many years, if Changning refuses to call the shots, how should he be tried?
"This palace understands the suffering of Lord Kang, so he specially came to give the adult a move." Changning chuckled.
"Moves?" Master Kang bowed and asked: "Please also ask Your Highness to help." ”
Changning smiled and bent his eyebrows: "Lord Kang just wants to invite a relative of the emperor to sit in the torture hall, so as not to let the Marquis of Zheng An control himself, but the father and the emperor are not only the five princes and the two sons and daughters of the palace. ”
Lord Kang's eyes rolled slightly, and he didn't understand what Changning meant for a while.
Although His Majesty has many heirs, not all of them have such grace as Changning and can enter the house.
Except for the princesses, there are only a few princes left.
The three princes were disgraced, the five princes were grounded on suspicion of poisoning the queen mother, and the seventh prince, who was most favored by His Majesty, was seriously ill, so now only ......
The second prince and the sixth prince.
"Your Highness...... Your Highness is saying that you invite His Royal Highness King Rui? Kang-sama's tongue was knotted.
Ruiwang.
Yes, now the identity of the second prince is different from the usual.
is already the king of Rui, the first prince of the generation of Da Chu, and it stands to reason that he should be the most favored.
King Kerui is an unlucky one, and he relied on Changning to get the throne.
Perhaps it was the first prince of Dachu to be crowned king.
But anyway, the title of King Rui is on the table, and the ceremony has been held, who else will be more suitable than King Rui?
"Thank you Your Highness for your advice, and I am grateful." Kang Ziming was like being amnesty.
Since King Rui is favored by the eldest princess, he will naturally unite with the eldest princess, isn't that the eldest princess herself.
Changning bowed: "You go back and ask for an order, don't forget to bring King Xiao Jin." ”
Kang Ziming was stunned.
Although King Xiao Jin is older than Changning, no matter how you look at it, he is still a playful child, and His Majesty has no intention of reusing King Xiao Jin, why would the eldest princess ask him to mention King Xiao Jin at this time?
"My father has always been grateful to the brother of King Jin, and now that I have such a cheap credit to give to King Xiao Jin as a gift, my father will be happy." Changning Road.
This is the same as when Cao Yu and Qin Wujiang were sent to Qing'an to pick up leaks.
Others have laid out the overall situation with blood and sweat, but the credit is taken by the same age assigned from above.
It must be the Criminal Department, Xu Jie and others who suffer in this case, but in the end, the credit will definitely fall on the head of the presiding judge.
Now the second prince and the king of Xiaojin are all relatives of the emperor who came to pick up the leaks, and they have a mixture of qualifications.
Kang Shangshu is well versed in the officialdom, not to mention that the credit for this big case is destined to be hated to death by the third prince, he doesn't want it.
It's better to ask the two lords of Rui and Jin to take it.
Changning smiled, and sure enough, at the court on the second day, Kang Shangshu recommended the second king to preside over the case.
The emperor glanced at Changning, and Changning came out: "This case involves the assassination of the son, and the son-in-law should appear as a witness, it is inconvenient to preside over the trial, and Kang Shangshu's advice is just right." ”
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty understood that this was the result of Kang Shangshu and Changning passing through Qi in advance.
It's just that in this way, isn't it reusing King Rui?
The ministers were secretly shocked in their hearts.
It turns out that every move of the Iron Blood Princess has a deep meaning.
Everyone thought that the princess supported King Rui just to hit the arrogance of the three princes, so that the three princes could not be crowned kings, and his sharpness was filed.
Unexpectedly, Changning was preparing a way out for himself.
Eggs can't all be put in one basket.
So as soon as something happened to the fifth prince, she immediately took out King Rui to regain the initiative.
It's amazing.
It's just that......
The fifth prince's talent is declining, and Princess Changning immediately turned her wrist and bet on the second prince, will she be hindered by the Qin family?
The people who were originally attached to the Qin family did not dare to speak without permission.
"The minister seconded the proposal." The first to stand up was Qin Taifu himself: "King Rui is the eldest son of His Majesty, and when the first title of prince should be sharpened, it is only fitting that this case should be handed over to King Rui." ”
The Qin family's reaction made the emperor very satisfied.
If it is said that the Grand Duke is selfless, Taifu Qin has always been worthy of it.
"Rui Wang." The emperor exhaled, and the second prince hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes full of cowardice and apprehension.
The emperor was not pleased when he saw it, but it seemed that there was only this son available in front of him, and he couldn't use that thirteen-year-old child to try such a big case.
"King Rui is benevolent, supplemented by His Royal Highness the King of Jin." Qin Taifu added.
Changning breathed a sigh of relief.
The old lady really has no selfish intentions.
If only King Rui is asked to preside over the trial, it is to push the unfounded King Rui into the fire pit, but with the addition of a small King Jin to share the burden, the situation will be different immediately.
"That's it." The emperor made a decision, and the ministers said yes.
Only when he retreated from the dynasty, King Rui hurriedly followed Changning, and he stopped talking again, so he was nervous.
"If the second emperor brother has anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Changning raised his eyebrows.
"Thank you, thank you," the second prince Mu Ne spat out, still knowing in his heart that it was bad.
Changning smiled slightly, "No thanks, it's best to protect the Li family and give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson." ”
King Rui was stunned, he didn't understand what Changning was playing.
Only the old lady sighed quietly.
His Royal Highness's move is right, but even the Qin family has calculated it.
