It was Li Song who said calmly: "Back to the emperor, Weichen feels that the events of the year have passed, and besides, it is not what it used to be, and it is not beneficial to speculate in vain. ”

Jiadi raised his eyelids and said, "What Shoufu said is reasonable. ”

Li Song made a gesture and said no more, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has been the first assistant for several years, so he can figure out what the emperor wants to hear.

The prime minister glanced at him with disdain, and said excitedly: "Back to the emperor, Shoufu's words are really to cater to the holy will, the prince and the king of Xiaoyang colluded, used the victims to create chaos, and attempted to rebel, the witness has been signed and drawn, black and white, ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and the ministers are brave enough to ask the emperor to deal with it strictly!" ”

Emperor Jia's eyebrows sank, and he said: "This matter is not urgent, what is the reason why the minister of state is in a hurry to dispose of the king?" ”

The minister said: "Your Majesty, this matter is about the country, for the people's feelings, give an explanation to the people as soon as possible, so that they can go back to settle down and settle down." ”

Emperor Jia said unconsciously: "Okay, there are many doubts in this matter, although the victims of the trouble signed and detained, but there is not enough evidence, I ordered Dali Temple to go to the criminal department to raise people, and retry the case of Xianwang, I believe that there will be a result soon, and the people's feelings will not be delayed." ”

The prime minister frowned, knowing that the emperor's holy will had been decided, and he didn't admonish him anymore, so he said slowly: "Yes, the emperor is wise!" ”

At this time, the internal prison reported outside: "Your Majesty, the Gongsun of Dali Temple and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, please play if you have an urgent matter." ”

Jiadi said in a deep voice: "Bring them in." ”

"Yes!" The inner supervisor said, "Two adults, please come in." ”

The first to walk in was Lord He, who knelt down in fear and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen just went outside the city to investigate the assassination of Princess Xian, but when I went back, the five victims in the prison... He committed suicide in prison. ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers in the Qinzheng Hall were shocked.

Emperor Jia's indulgent expression was obviously a little cold, and he said, "Gongsun Yan, you can talk about it." ”

Lord Gongsun said: "Your Majesty, Weichen took people to the Criminal Department to pick up people, and when they arrived at the cell, the five people were out of breath, and after conducting an autopsy, they found that they all committed suicide by biting their tongues. ”

"Although there is no evidence of their death now, there are still suspicions, they do not have any information about their origins, which is very likely to be confused, and it cannot be ruled out that someone bought them and maliciously framed the king."

Emperor Jiadi bowed slightly, and said: "This matter is entrusted to your Dali Temple to be fully responsible, and you must find out the details as soon as possible!" ”

Gongsun Yan said sonorously: "The minister obeys the order! ”

At this time, Jiang Zhong preached outside: "Your Majesty, bring the king." ”

Emperor Jia heard the voice, his eyebrows frowned slightly, after this incident, he was somewhat suspicious of the king, but what he was most afraid of was that the king and the prince Heng were fratricidal, in the end, he was just such two emperors, no matter who he hurt, he was a father who was distressed.

"Come in, King Xuanxian." He said in a low voice.

The prince presented his audience and saluted, "The son of the emperor pays homage to his father." ”

"Flat." Jiadi stopped.

At this time, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Great Human: "His Royal Highness the King is so majestic, just outside the city wall, he broke the arm of the official of the Criminal Department with a knife, which shows his skills, and the officials admire it." ”

When Emperor Jiadi heard this, his heart sank, and he said, "Xian'er, can there be such a thing?" You... Do you know kung fu? ”

The prince said calmly: "Although this matter is true, the sons did not use hard work, but their subordinates sharpened their knives too quickly. ”

He continued: "The cause of this incident was that the Son and the Lord led people straight into the disaster shelter, and the Son was still in charge of the disaster victims, but the Lord He instructed his subordinates to have a conflict with the Son of the Minister's subordinates, and this caused the incident. ”

After hearing this, he was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, but his eyes were weak, and anyone who was careful could see that he was at a loss, but he still wanted to argue.

Jiadi pressed an unhappy look at him, forcing him to shut his mouth weakly.

Emperor Jia said to the prince: "Those few victims who accused you of committing suicide in prison, I have handed over this matter to Dali Temple for review, before the truth is revealed, you stay in the palace for a few days, avoid suspicion, do not leave the palace, and do not contact outsiders." ”

This is obviously to control him, but Wang Zixian said unpanickedly: "The sons and daughters are all arranged by their father." ”

Jiadi looked at the old prince Xian, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he knew that he owed too much to Xian'er when he was young, but now it is a matter of the country, and he must be cautious.

He finally added with some reluctance: "Don't worry, as long as you don't do it, I will definitely pay you justice." ”

The prince said indifferently: "Thank you, father." ”

At this time, the prime minister spoke again: "Your Majesty, if the king wants to stay in the palace, it is not good to be in charge of the disaster victims resettled outside the city, why don't you let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go down to experience the experience?" ”

There was a ripple on Wang Zixian's calm face, and he was worried that Prince Heng would not be good for Zixuan.

At this time, Emperor Jia said in a deep voice: "The country is very concerned about Prince Heng." ”

The minister was shocked, but he said with a steady face: "Weichen is just worried about the victims outside the city, and it will be unfavorable to the emperor if they are in turmoil again." ”

Emperor Jia's eyes swept away, the matter of the victims was basically arranged by Xian'er, if he sent the prince Heng to go at this time, wouldn't it be unfair to Xian'er!

He said unhappily: "I have my own arrangements for this matter, you all retreat." ”

"Yes, Weichen retired."

The ministers of the Diligent Government Palace, each with their own hearts and minds, retired.

The prime minister is the most uneasy one among them, and he is especially prominent today to make the emperor unhappy, even if he wants to help the crown prince, he must not rush forward.

The prince stayed in the palace, and to put it mildly, he stayed for a few days, but in fact it was equivalent to being under house arrest.

When Zixuan heard the news, she almost fainted, but fortunately, Red Sleeves helped her.

"Princess, don't scare the slaves, the prince is under house arrest in the palace, if you have another accident, the palace will collapse." Redsleeves cried.

Zixuan took a sip of hot tea, steadied herself, and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, the prince said, I want to take care of the victims, and when he comes back, we have to believe him." ”

Red Sleeves wiped away her tears with her sleeve and nodded: "Well, as long as you are good, the slave is not afraid." ”

Zixuan calmed down, the more at this time, as the backbone, the more she couldn't panic, she said in a deep voice: "Red sleeves, go and bring some food, let's eat." ”

Red Sleeves heard that the princess finally wanted to eat, and hurriedly said, "Okay, the slave will go and get it." ”

Zixuan had just barely grabbed a few mouthfuls of food, and suddenly heard someone report: "Lord Gongsun of Dali Temple has arrived." ”

She immediately went out of the tent with red sleeves.

I saw Gongsun Yan with officers and soldiers, dragging the corpses of five refugees.

When he saw Zixuan, he first said, "Princess." ”

Zixuan said politely: "Lord Gongsun is very polite, please get up." ”

Lord Chao, who took over the prince's position, rushed over and said, "Lord Gongsun, I don't know what you are doing here?" ”
