Chapter 206: The Prince Comes Forward
The Great Han Palace, the dormitory of the small county lord.
Liu Yuying had dozens of snacks in front of him, kept stuffing them into his mouth, and stuffed a few pieces to Xiaoqiu from time to time.
The corners of Ye Yunyang's mouth twitched, and he said, "Zhu Mao, do you usually eat snacks like this, and you are not afraid to raise yourself into a little fat pig,"
"No, I just eat every once in a while, and I don't eat every day, how can I eat fat with such a lot of exercise every day. Liu Yuying said arrogantly.
The most unacceptable thing for Ye Yunyang is that Xiaoqiu is also eating snacks, and when Liu Yuying can't take care of it, he will stretch out his little paws to protest while pointing to what he wants to eat. According to the classics, the pine-tailed white fox is a spirit animal that is extremely picky about food, and only eats some fruits and dried fruits that contain aura, and will not even look at other things, it was indeed like this before, Ye Yunyang and Dongfang Yixue tried to feed it, but it was not moved at all, and insisted on going out to find food by itself, as for what it eats every day, the two of them don't know at all.
The current situation shows a problem, it's not that Xiaoqiu has changed her character, but that the snacks in the palace are too delicious, and even it can't withstand the temptation, no wonder everyone envies the emperor's life, eat the best and use the best, better than the gods.
He shook his head and said, "Even if you don't eat fat, eating so many sweets is not good for your teeth, I advise you to eat less." ”
Liu Yuying turned a deaf ear, and said while continuing to eat: "You guy rarely takes the initiative to come to me, every time I ask people to call you over, and you will show a very impatient look, is the sun coming out of the west today, don't stare at me, the facts that the county lord said, you must have something to find me, I guessed right." ”
Ye Yunyang smiled dryly, and wanted to cover up: "Look at what you said, it seems that I am the kind of person who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early." ”
"You are. The little county lord put down the snack and said seriously: "Don't doubt your guess, you are finally willing to face yourself, congratulations." ”
Wipe, I was despised by a little girl, if he didn't really have something, he would definitely stand up and walk away without looking back, who let himself have a request for others, I had to lower my posture and smile and give a thumbs up: "The little county lord is really getting smarter and smarter, so that my face as a master is bright." ”
Liu Yuying was used in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not easy to be praised by a guy like you, let's talk about what the hell, with our relationship, as long as I can help, I will definitely help." ”
Ye Yunyang rubbed his hands and said, "Actually, it's not a difficult thing, I just want you to take me with me to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Liu Yuying agreed without thinking about it: "What do I think, isn't it just to see my father, let's go." ”
After speaking, she stood up with Xiaoqiu in her arms, and Ye Yunyang said again: "Don't worry, call Shanggu Guoshi, and there is also Master Tingwei Duan, who has been waiting outside." ”
The little girl tilted her head: "And Lord Duan, what are you going to do?"
He replied: "National affairs are not allowed to be played with. ”
The little girl raised her eyebrows: "Hmph, come to prevaricate me again, do you think the county lord can't guess it, it must be related to Liu Yao's death and poisoning." ”
Ye Yunyang gave a thumbs up again: "The little county lord is wise, and he can guess it." ”
Ten minutes later, under the leadership of Liu Yuying and accompanied by Gu Zhengxiang, Ye Yunyang and Duan Weiang walked into the East Palace of the Prince.
The crown prince is dealing with government affairs, under normal circumstances, he does not see guests, everything has to wait for him to finish handling government affairs, only Liu Yuying can ignore this rule, the emperor allows her to appear in the imperial study at any time, let alone the prince here.
"Father, here we are. Liu Yuying jumped into the prince's study.
The prince raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "The prince is here, everyone come in and sit, you don't need to be polite, serve tea." ”
Ye Yunyang, Gu Zhengxiang and Duan Weiang saluted the prince together: "The ministers pay their respects to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"You're welcome, sit down. The prince said kindly.
The three of them sat down in turn, Liu Yuying squeezed into the prince's seat with Xiaoqiu in his arms, the prince shook his head with a smile, reached out and touched Xiaoqiu's head, and after the palace maid served tea to the four of them, he asked: "What is the matter with the three of you looking for me?"
Duan Weiang clenched his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the death of the emperor and grandson and the poisoning case have made progress, and the minister feels that the matter is very important, so he has decided to report it to you first and ask for your opinion." ”
The crown prince frowned, according to the rules, the case should be directly presented to the emperor if there is progress, because it was the emperor himself who ordered the investigation of the case, and Duan Weiang was also the person in charge of solving the case appointed by the emperor, so there was no need to talk to him first, it seemed that there must be something wrong, and it was inconvenient to report to the emperor, so he came to him.
"Master Duan, please speak up. The prince said.
Duan Weiang said: "Weichen listed King Zhao and King Wei as key suspects, and launched a series of investigations, because of the clues provided by the Duke of Anping County, just two hours ago, King Zhao sent an entourage named Wang Jisen to the Imperial Commander's Office, Wang Jisen confessed on the spot that he shot the emperor's grandson Liu Yao, and the mastermind behind the scenes was Liu Wenkang, the second prince of Zhao State, who had died under the sword of King Wei. ”
The prince frowned slightly, and said in his heart, this is too fast, the emperor has a time limit of seven days to solve the case, and in less than a day, the murderer surfaced, and it was so smooth that it made people feel a little incredible.
Seeing that the prince frowned, Duan Weiang also stopped, and the prince waved his hand and said, "Go on." ”
"Yes. Duan Weiang continued: "According to the confession of the criminal, it can basically be determined that he is the murderer who shot the emperor's grandson, and it can basically be determined that he is the mastermind behind Liu Wenkang. ”
Duan Weiang tried his best not to add personal inference when he spoke, but the prince still heard the clue from it and said, "No, how can a person commit a crime twice in such a short period of time, this is not logical. Also, both cases were done by Liu Wenkang, but he died, that is, there is no evidence for his death, and all the evidence points to him, is it too much of a coincidence?"
Duan Weiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glanced at Ye Yunyang, and then said: "The ministers also have such suspicions, there is no such coincidence in the world, in Weichen's many years of experience in solving cases, those coincidences that seem to be very reasonable are all man-made, and there must be an ulterior secret behind it." ”
The crown prince nodded, he didn't doubt Duan Weiang's ability to do things at all, and asked, "Since it was King Zhao who sent the prisoners to the Imperial Governor's Office, what did he say?"
Duan Weiang admired the prince's wisdom from the bottom of his heart, and he could always grasp the key points of the matter, and what he admired the most was Ye Yunyang, because before coming to the palace, Ye Yunyang made inferences about the prince, and the results of the inferences were exactly the same as now.
He replied: "In Wang Jisen's confession, King Zhao has nothing to do with these two incidents, he only learned everything after Wang Jisen confessed, and expressed his disappointment with his son and deep self-reproach many times. Zhao Wang also believes that Liu Wenkang did both of these things, which is consistent with Wang Jisen's testimony. ”
The prince shook his head: "No, even I think there is something strange in it, as Liu Wenkang's father, he can't think of this, I'm afraid there is some inside story,"
Duan Weiang threw himself to the ground at the prince's admiration, and his tone of voice couldn't help but have a hint of excitement: "Weichen and the county prince of Anping both think so, so they decided to come to see you first, and then tell Your Majesty when the matter is completely clarified." ”
Ye Yunyang opened his mouth and said: "That's right, I suspect that King Zhao and King Wei have reached some kind of tacit understanding, let the dead carry all the black pots, and I believe that the poisoning case was done by King Wei." ”
"Is there any evidence," the prince asked.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the king of Wei led a group of his subordinates to re-enter the palace of the king of Zhao, the two first quarreled in front of everyone, and then entered the room of the king of Zhao together, the two talked for a long time, as for what they talked about is unknown. Duan Weiang said: "However, the people from the Imperial Governor's Office reported that although King Wei still had an angry look on his face when he left, he had a smug look in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had taken advantage of some kind of advantage, while King Zhao had a decadent face, and he took Wang Jisen to the Imperial Captain's Office to surrender with a strong fighting spirit. ”
The crown prince nodded: "That is to say, there is a collusion between King Wei and King Zhao, and King Zhao chooses to cooperate when he has no choice but to let his son carry all the black cauldrons." ”
Ye Yunyang said: "The prince Gao Jian, Lord Duan and I also think the same, they colluded in private, trying to put all the charges on Liu Wenkang's head, so as to ensure their own safety. ”
The prince took a sip of the teacup and said, "You two might as well say bluntly, what do you need this prince to do?"
Ye Yunyang and Duan Weiang glanced at each other and said: "The biggest difficulty now is on King Zhao, it is obvious that Wang Jisen is also a black pot, since he can go to the Imperial Lieutenant Office to surrender, it means that he has also reached some kind of agreement with King Zhao, and he has a certain heart of death, it is almost impossible to get a new confession from him, the only person who can open the breakthrough is King Zhao, so we hope that the prince will come forward to deal with him." ”
"How to do it, could it be that as soon as this prince stands in front of King Zhao, he will tell the truth and the truth, I think things will definitely not be so simple. The prince said.
Indeed, King Zhao has been the king for so many years, and it is not too much to describe it as cunning and cunning, if there is no trick, let alone the prince, it may not be useful for the emperor to come forward in person.
Ye Yunyang smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple, you just need to come forward to deceive him, lying that the emperor will severely punish this matter, as the father of the three crimes of killing the emperor's grandson, marrying the nobles and poisoning, he has an unshirkable responsibility, His Majesty wants to kill him to set an example, and the throne will be inherited by his son." ”
"It's a good idea, but the prince thinks something is wrong. The prince frowned and said, "First of all, it is an immoral act, and secondly, it is suspected of falsely proclaiming the holy decree, have you ever thought about it, if we don't get the result we want, how will it end at that time?"
Ye Yunyang said: "It is precisely because of this that we have to ask you to come forward, you are the prince on behalf of the emperor, but you can't do it like the emperor, this in itself is an advantage that can be attacked and defended, and in the end, if it is really proved that King Zhao is unreasonable, you can apologize to him privately at most, can he still not be relentless, it turns out that King Zhao is very suspicious, of course we can settle the case hastily, but how can the emperor explain it, will his old man believe that all this was done by Liu Wenkang?"
Liu Yuying was unwilling to be lonely and said: "Ye Yunyang is right, we must give a reasonable explanation to the imperial grandfather, otherwise it will be the crime of bullying the monarch, even if the imperial grandfather knows about your deception of King Zhao, he will feel that you are out of public intentions and will not blame you." ”
Indeed, the emperor could not think of things that the crown prince could think of, and after weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and said: "I promise you, but this matter must be kept secret, and no one is allowed to disclose it until there is a result, and the other is to make preparations, King Zhao is not so easy to deal with, you have to cooperate with the prince." ”
"Yes,"
ps: It's time to start digging holes again, and the more exciting content is in "Emperor Supreme", asking for all kinds of support.
