The eldest princess recuperated for some time, the regent was buried in a beautiful manner, and the backlog of dissatisfaction in the court finally began to erupt, and she had to return to the court and stand with the little emperor to calm the turmoil.

Moreover, the person who holds the most power in the Qin State has gone, and the power of the Qin State has to be reshuffled, so taking this opportunity, it is natural to cultivate his cronies.

The matter of the abortion, Imperial Doctor Wu's family and Xinyu are already dead, naturally there is no chance to spread it, the eldest princess dragged her weak body, could not be at peace, and continued to plan for the little emperor, although sometimes she suddenly felt a little unwilling, but she still abandoned her selfishness and did things for the little emperor.

Even if he is not the younger brother of his own mother's compatriots, for the sake of the Qin State, the imperial uncle said that the Qin State cannot be buried in the hands of his own generation, and he cannot sit still.

The total destruction of the Qi State delegation also sounded a wake-up call for the Qin State, after all, the national strength of the Qin State is lower than that of the Chu, Shang, and Jin Kingdoms, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will fall into the fate of the Qi State in the future, and even be annexed by others.

Originally, I wanted to go to Gonggong Gao to confirm the truth of what the imperial aunt said, and I didn't have time to look for him, so I didn't rush this matter for the time being, and I would talk about it after the court stabilized.

It's just busy, and time flies.

More than half a month after the regent's death, the eldest princess received a letter from Nanqi.

Yunmei, I have already thought about the matter of you and me, and I have decided to go to Qin State to accompany you, I don't want you to be distracted, this time Qin State has changed, I am very worried, I just hate to be able to accompany you, in the future, your sister and brother will share state affairs, and they will definitely be happy.

Sister Yan and the others are quite supportive, and they are already helping me prepare, and when things are done in Beijing, I will set off for Qin.

Since Qing left, I came to see him in a dream every night, presumably Qing also thought about me, hoping to be careful in everything and cherish my body.

I look forward to seeing you soon, Nanqi.

The eldest princess watched it three times before she really believed that he really wanted to give up everything in the Chu State and come to the Qin State to accompany her, and she was so excited that she suddenly had a lot to say.

But Xinyu, who knew about it, was no longer there, buried in the ground with a secret, remembering what she said before she died, and it seemed to be a good choice to leave right and wrong.

frowned and thought for a few moments and stopped thinking about her, so he simply grinded it himself and replied to a letter.

Nanqi, when I received the letter, I already knew your determination, I never thought that someone would pay so much for me, abandon everything, but you make arrangements first, don't move lightly.

Now that the situation has changed, the blade hanging over the heads of my sister and brother has disappeared, and when the situation in the Qin State is stable, I can also marry you in the name of marriage, and at that time, I can get rid of the troubles of Qianzong, and you can also keep everything.

The matter of you and me is still to be discussed, remember, do not act rashly.

Sleepless at night, blurred, it is completely the state of Chu, I hope that in the future, I can enjoy the peach blossoms with you every year.

Nian Jun, Yun Mei.

A letter is too short, and a lot of things have happened these days, although I want to tell him everything, it is difficult to explain it on paper after all, and I will tell you everything when he meets one day.

The situation in the court of Chu became increasingly anxious, and King Ye also endured his anger, and with the help of Nan Qi, he took Nan Qi's handle.

Today's early dynasty is no longer the three-day dynasty that used to be the law, it is completely in accordance with the emperor's mood, once every seven days, once every eight days, it is normal, and this is still the persuasion of Concubine Qiong.

finally caught up with the emperor and father once, and the two brothers, King Ye and King Ling, were full of strength and wanted each other to fall.

The emperor looked at the murderous ministers with a headache, and even King Ye, who had always been good-tempered standing in front, frowned and was full of anger.

The two of them are really red-eyed.

The people on King Ye's side should stand up first, "The minister wants to impeach His Royal Highness King Ling." ”

The Emperor raised his hand and motioned for him.

"The minister impeached the king of Ling for accepting bribes, robbing the men and women of the people, and disregarding people's lives. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, it is normal to receive bribes, what does it mean to rob men and women of the people, and to disregard people's lives?

Among the nobles, playing some novel things, there is nothing unusual, but when it is brought to the court, of course, everyone can't look very understanding, and this matter is a little unbearable.

When the emperor heard this, he also frowned, "What evidence do you have?" ”

The man pulled an envelope out of his sleeve and presented it.

"The refusal of the minister knows that His Royal Highness the King of Ling likes young men and women, in addition to some who voluntarily enter the house, there are also some people who offer according to their preferences, and privately use means to collect many girls and boys from good families for their fun, of which thirty-seven people died, and twelve of them were involuntary, which is a matter of grass and human life. ”

The courtiers all looked at King Ling with frightened eyes, knowing that he had a perverse temperament, but they didn't expect it to come to this point.

King Ling's face was already full of anger, although he knew that he should shout injustice now, but he just couldn't restrain himself.

The emperor didn't expect it to be like this, as a prince, how could there be fewer women and even men around him, he had to force others, and he also played with people, and he was even found out, and now he was said in front of the courtiers.

King Ling finally suppressed his anger and turned to the man, "How did you know that this king killed them, and how did you know that they didn't do it of their own free will?" ”

"Your Highness, don't quibble, some people were robbed by His Highness, how could they be willing, among them, there are even students of the country's eunuchs, they have unlimited futures, why should they surrender to His Highness, could it be that at this time, His Highness still has no regrets?"

King Ling said, "Those who have entered my palace, that is, the people of the palace, life and death are decided by this king, they were unwilling at the beginning, and do you know that he was unwilling later? ”

"Your Highness, don't avoid the important and take it lightly, as a prince, you should love the people like a son, but Your Highness is careless about people's lives, isn't it ashamed?"

Seeing that the key points were ignored, King Ye couldn't help it, when he knew about it, he was also angry, this younger brother was really too unreasonable.

"Father, the king of Ling's trip is too bad, and his sons feel that they should be punished strictly. ”

The minister seconded. ”

The minister seconded. ”

"That is, it should be dealt with strictly, when the King of Ling was grounded in the Taimiao, he should not be released, and His Majesty can no longer be soft-hearted. ”

In the final analysis, these lives are not as important as their own sons, and this matter is also a royal scandal, so naturally the facts cannot be determined.

The emperor spoke, "This matter is too unbelievable, the evidence is unknown, it needs to be investigated carefully, and when the results are found, King Ling has indeed done these things, I will definitely punish them severely, don't dwell on this matter at this moment." ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect the emperor to put this matter down so gently.

Before anyone could protest, someone else came forward.

"The minister also has something to do, and the minister impeached His Royal Highness King Ye for coercing the deputy commander of the forbidden army and the leader of the city defense army with bad intentions. ”

Although everyone had expected that today would not be peaceful, they did not expect that this time it was not a dispute between vassals, but a dispute between the two princes themselves.

If it is said that the emperor has some cover-up, but colluding with the forbidden army and the city defense army is a major event that cannot be forgiven.

Sure enough, when the emperor heard this, regardless of whether it was true or not, his face was already full of displeasure.

Since the night of the rebellion, the emperor has been particularly sensitive to such things.

King Ye received the cold gaze from the person on the throne, and his heart was cold, his father did not trust him.

"Father, the son promises that there will be no such thing. ”

"His Royal Highness King Ye didn't expect to keep it secret, after the deputy commander of the forbidden army was attracted to his banner by His Royal Highness's soft and hard work, he was depressed, and he drank in the outer room for fun, and spit out the truth after drinking, the woman was afraid of being burned, and the private criminal department reported that the minister had collected evidence, please take a look at it. ”

The emperor rarely straightened up, looked at the evidence expressionlessly, and his face became darker and darker.

At this time, King Duan also stood up and said, "Previously, the sons visited the imperial brother's mansion, and overheard the imperial brother discussing with Nan Shizi, saying that he had no military power in his hands and was not practical, so he wanted to win over some people who held military power. ”

When King Ye heard this, he was furious in his heart, and King Duan actually fell into the well, "You are talking nonsense, I thought that although you were not a gentleman, but your heart was not bad, I didn't expect you to be such a despicable villain." ”

Duan Wang said, "Brother Huang, don't blame, I'm just telling the truth, I didn't hear you want to win over the deputy commander of the forbidden army and others, but I just listened to it a few times, and I didn't dare to listen again." ”

Not only are they arguing, but the ministers of the DPRK and China are also arguing, and it seems that there is another war of words.

At first, the emperor was angry in his heart, but he didn't expect that King Ye, who he trusted the most, also had such thoughts, but after thinking about it, there might be something else hidden in this matter.

Raising his eyes to look down at the bottom of the hall, his head ached faintly.

Everyone didn't get any results for a long time, but they bit the mistakes of the masters on both sides, and King Ling's embezzlement of disaster relief funds was also mentioned.

King Jun, who has always said little in the court and does things silently, is out of the ranks.

"Father, the son-in-law also thinks that there is something strange about Brother Ye's brother, don't listen to one side, the matter can be understood as soon as you check it, there is no point in arguing here. ”

Everyone looked at King Jun, originally he was also eye-catching when King Rui rebelled, and he was listed as one of the candidates for the storage position, but he was too silent, and most of the time he didn't say anything, which always made people ignore him.

His performance that day made the emperor feel credible from the bottom of his heart, and since he came forward to intercede, he would give face.

"In this case, let's choose a righteous person to investigate this matter, you still need to be capable, I don't want to see unjust, false and wrongful cases. ”

His Royal Highness immediately said, "Xie Shilang is upright and experienced, why don't you hand it over to him?"

The emperor was unhappy in his heart, there were so many people in the imperial court, could it be that only Xie Ling was available? These people gradually regarded Xie Ling as the backbone, which was not a good sign.

"Xie Ling has an important position, he can't be distracted, don't you have anyone else.

”

Xie Ling knew that the emperor was suspicious, and he didn't bother to bother with this matter.

While everyone was thinking about it, they saw the upright King Jun standing in the front, and suddenly had an idea, "His Royal Highness King Jun is fair and sensitive, so it is better to let His Royal Highness King Duan investigate this case." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Jun's ability is not weak. ”

King Ye said, "Erchen also believes in the fifth brother, and the results found out by the fifth brother will definitely be convinced." ”

King Jun glanced up at him, not knowing what he was thinking.

The emperor had already been troubled by the noise, and remembered that King Jun had always been reliable, so he simply said, "Then this matter will be handed over to King Jun, remember, be impartial." ”

"The retainer's order. ”

Seeing that the dispute between the two princes had come to an end for the time being, Xie Ling came out of the queue and presented the list sent back by Jiang Yu.
