"Prince, I entrusted you with the matter of repairing the imperial tomb, and now that it has collapsed, then this matter will be put on hold for the time being, and when I find an auspicious day for the zodiac, I will rebuild it by myself." The old man of the emperor said with a look in his eyes.

The crown prince said with sincere fear: "My father has experienced it personally, and it must be foolproof." ”

The old man nodded his head.

Behind him, the eldest prince stood up and said respectfully: "This is the intention of the ancestors and others to let me regain the old land, the old will not go, and the new will not come, that is, if there is a war next year, not only to recover the old land, but also to include the foreign state into the territory of our dynasty." ”

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he said: "Okay, good, what Tai'er said is that next year, not only to regain the old soil, but also to collect the new land, otherwise it will be a shame to the ancestors of our dynasty!" ”

The eldest prince nodded and continued: "However, on the day when the imperial tomb was repaired a few days ago, it seems that an unfortunate thing happened, but it added karma to the ancestors of the past dynasties. ”

The old man of the emperor frowned and said, "Say." ”

Chen Ping and Commander Lin both changed their faces slightly at this moment.

I saw the great prince say softly: "A few days ago, there was a craftsman who seemed to have retreated in time when it collapsed, and was suppressed by it, and now he has died violently. This ancestor knew that he was afraid that his heart would be uneasy. ”

The outer wall of the imperial mausoleum collapsed, this thing can be big or big, and it can be said that it is small, but the people who died are the common people, and they were crushed to death by the wall of the imperial mausoleum, and the people are the people of the first emperors.

The civil and military officials all began to discuss.

A few days ago, the weather changed and it rained heavily, and everyone knew about the collapse of the imperial tomb. There are also craftsmen who have been pressed and passed out. It's just that the weather has been very bad these days, and the emperor has no intention of coming to inspect the imperial tomb, and it is almost raining today, so he summoned everyone to travel and come to inspect the imperial tomb.

But the matter of the craftsman being suppressed has long been passed on in the hearts of everyone, and everyone remembers it.

Just because the emperor sent the prince to supervise the work, and the craftsman had an accident, the prince ......

The old man's eyes narrowed, and he said: "I know about this matter, the craftsman didn't have time to come up, and he was finally pressed, prince, is that so." ”

Speaking of this, he swept his eyes and looked at Li Cheng!

The overseer was handed over to the prince that day, so naturally he was going to ask him.

The crown prince said in a panic: "Father, there is indeed such a thing, but the craftsman is fine, but he has suffered some flesh wounds, and he is now recuperating at home, otherwise you can ask Wan'er and Lin to lead them, or you can send someone to check, that person has no problem." ”

Chen Ping sighed in his heart, and the expression of Commander Lin next to him suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

The old man of the emperor said: "It's okay, if there is something, it is ashamed of the people and the society, the people are the foundation of our country, if it hurts the people, it will damage the foundation." ”

Calling people to repair the emperor's mausoleum, if something really happens, who can be responsible, then it will be to block the first emperors, the first emperors they are already dead, but because of their deaths, and innocent people are harmed, wouldn't that make them uncomfortable?

In the eyes of the emperors, the people were as important as the land.

The eldest prince's undetectable gaze swept to the side.

A figure stepped forward, snorted and cried, and cried: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the craftsman is dead." ”

The old man of the emperor said in a deep voice: "Didn't the prince say that it was okay. ”

This is the Zhang eunuch who came up to report, and now Chen Ping and Commander Lin are eager to come up and strangle him to death.

Gonggong Zhang burst into tears, sadness came from it, and said: "That person was indeed fine at the beginning, but today that person died suddenly, this is the misfortune of my dynasty, I am ashamed of the ancestors, I actually harmed this innocent people, harmed the people of the first emperor, and the little one failed the emperor's appointment, and asked the emperor to punish him." ”

Gonggong Zhang has experience in repairing the emperor's mausoleum, and he led the people of the Ministry of Industry to find workers, all of which were handled by him, and he was indeed there that day. It's just that he didn't expect Chen Ping to slap him in the face in public, and the princess helped Chen Ping relieve the siege again, and this father-in-law didn't dare to disobey the princess in public, so he could only leave in anger.

The old man of the emperor was furious and said: "What, is that person really dead, my people, is it really dead!" ”

"The emperor is angry! Someone just came to report that he was really dead. Father-in-law Zhang continued to cry with a handful of snot and tears, heartbroken.

It's a shame that he can act like this, Chen Ping thinks that if he was in his previous life, he could award him an Oscar for Best Eunuch Outfit B!

"Prince!" The emperor said angrily: "I asked you to supervise the work, why is this person dead, is what Gonggong Zhang said true?" ”

The prince hurriedly said: "That person is really not dead......

"Dead." Suddenly, a sigh came.

The crown prince looked at it, his face changed, and he said, "Chen Ping." ”

Chen Ping smiled bitterly, came out to give a salute, and said, "Your Majesty, that person is indeed dead." ”

Now that it is a foregone conclusion, there is no way back, so we can only let the storm come faster.

The old man of the emperor swept his eyes and said softly: "Chen Ping, my pilgrim, the son of Chen Xu?" ”

Chen Ping had to say respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The old man of the emperor nodded and said, "How do you know that people are dead." ”

Chen Ping sighed: "Today, Commander Lin and I went to visit and found that the person was dead. ”

Commander Lin's face was silent, he stood up and clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Your Majesty, that person is indeed dead, but it's just ......"

Gonggong Zhang suddenly cried loudly: "The person is dead, although he still lives when he collapsed that day, but in the past few days, the pain is unbearable, and he has left. ”

Commander Lin gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but he was pulled back, and when he looked back, it was Chen Shiyu with a gloomy face.

Chen Ping shook his head.

People are indeed dead, although they know that they were poisoned, but you don't have the slightest evidence, there were no blood monitoring instruments in ancient times, so as to check whether there were poisonous ingredients in the blood. At this time, if Commander Lin defends himself, he can only cause trouble in vain, which is considered to be a shirk of responsibility.

That can only make them uncomfortable, the craftsman collapsed a few days ago and almost returned to the West Everyone has seen it, if you say that you were poisoned, everyone will think that you are trying to evade responsibility, talk nonsense, and even deceive the king.

The craftsman was in good health, only Chen Ping, Commander Lin and Xiaohuan, who had visited in the past few days, knew about it, and as for the others, they only saw that the craftsman was crushed by the collapsed wall and almost died.

So even if they were rescued and died suddenly a few days later, they took it for granted.

Commander Lin seemed to think that he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in, and he couldn't help but look ugly for a while, and there was a rare hint of murder in his eyes.

The old man of the emperor looked at the crown prince, snorted coldly, and said, "What's the matter, what kind of person died, how did you supervise the work." ”

The prince's face turned pale, and he said hurriedly: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with me, under the heavy rain that day, I was sick, and the person is not here, my father can ask everyone, everyone knows." ”

At this time, the prince was a little glad that he didn't come that day, if he came, the blame would have to be pressed down, although now to tell the truth, saying that he didn't come that day, it is considered lazy, but this is better than taking the charge of killing the people with poor supervision.

"Didn't you show up that day?" The old man of the emperor snorted as if he didn't know anything.

The prince wiped his sweat and said, "The child is really not there. ”

Father-in-law Zhang kindly helped to defend himself, and said: "The prince is really not present, and the prince is sick in the house that day." ”

The crown prince threw a grateful thank you to Gonggong Zhang.

The eldest prince sighed: "The second brother was not present that day. ”

It's a good double reed, it's a fact that it's not there, but helping to speak at this time can show favor to the prince.

However, even if your prince is not present, the matter of supervising the work has nothing to do with you, but this is what the emperor has given you.

The old man of the emperor snorted coldly and said, "Prince, you are so bold, you dare to be so slack in the things I have explained to you." ”

The crown prince panicked and said: "Father, the child was really ill that day and couldn't travel. ”

The crown princess stood up and said, "Father, the crown prince was indeed ill that day, and he gave it to me, and I supervised it on his behalf." ”

The emperor's old man frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Wan'er said so, then it seems that the prince was really ill that day, and even so, I don't blame you." ”

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could fully swallow that breath, his face became bitter again.

"But this matter of supervision, you haven't reported it to me, you are slacking off on your own work, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, Zhang Heng!"

"The lower official is here!" Zhang Heng, the lord of the criminal department, said respectfully.

"The prince disobeyed the emperor's order without authorization, and he should be beheaded." The emperor said in a deep voice.

As soon as the officials were in an uproar, even Zhang Heng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and his feet were so soft that he couldn't stand steadily.

"Your Majesty!!" Hundred officials admonished.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Ping said hurriedly: "The prince didn't mean to, not to mention that there was a reason for the incident that day, the prince was in poor health, he couldn't come, it wasn't intentional, and I hope the emperor will think twice." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The prince is only young, and his health is sick, if he is sick and oversees the work that day, and breaks the dragon body, it will be my misfortune."

Among the civil and military officials, I don't know how many people are on Wang Ping's side, and Wang Ping is the prince's father-in-law, and everyone is like a mirror in their hearts.

They all took advantage of the prince's accession to the throne in the future to be a hero.

As for the crown prince at this time, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and his face turned pale.

"Hmph, what about the prince's youth, what about his ill health, it is a fact that he violated the emperor's order that day, and he did not come to supervise the work and did not report it to me, he is a bully, the Son of Heaven has broken the law, and he is guilty of the same crime as the common people! The maintenance of the imperial mausoleum supervision is the top priority of our dynasty, how can we slack off! The old man snorted coldly.

"But the prince asked the crown princess to be the supervisor, which does not mean that he is slack, and the prince sincerely repents, thinking that he still has the heart, and let the princess act as the supervisor, that is, he spared the prince, and the first emperor and others did not want to see the prince work hard because of their affairs, and finally ended up in a different place." Wang Ping said: "Now because of this imperial mausoleum, someone has died, if the prince is how, I am afraid that the first emperors will not be able to sleep, and I hope that the emperor will think twice, and remember the heart of the first emperor, the emperor." ”

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "This is true, if you are committing human life, then the first emperors will not bear it when they see it, but it is my fault." ”

The old man of the emperor seems to have just come over suddenly.

All the officials immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor continued: "But the crown prince made a mistake first, and indeed violated the emperor's order, even if he did not come to supervise the work, he did not report it to me, this matter is conclusive, then I will punish him to enter the palace and confine him for a month, and he will not be allowed to travel, what do you think!" ”

"The emperor is wise!"

"The emperor is wise!"

Chen Ping suddenly wanted to say at this time, I really have a bad day for you cubs.

No matter how you look at it, this old man doesn't look like he really wants to behead this prince.

Chen Ping was a human being, that is, from the dialogue between the emperor and this Wang Ping, he could feel a trace of greasy, and he only had an intuition in his heart at this time, that is, the emperor and Wang Ping were playing a double reed, showing the people of the world and the officials.

The prince slacked off the matter of supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum, deceived the emperor and concealed it, the emperor did not protect his son, he would be beheaded, it was a hundred officials who wrote a book, because it implicated the merits and karma of the first emperor, so the emperor did not behead his son for the sake of the first emperor, in order not to let the first emperor feel heartache and carry his life after death.

He didn't deliberately cover it up!

I have to say that Chen Ping began to be a little disgusted with this kind of emperor's heart technique.
