Only Nanuid and Jin Guifei, looking at each other, close to the end of the world, can only rub the feelings of the past twenty years in their eyes. Seeing that everyone was drinking happily, Jin Guifei suddenly got up and went to Xiaojie, Nuyid understood, and then left the table and went to Xiaojie. There was no one around, and the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes. Nuyid suddenly reached out and hugged Jin Guifei, and Jin Guifei also hugged Nuyid tightly.

Nuyid said: "Mingshu don't come to harm, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still so gentle and soft, if you hadn't been elected to the palace, you and I might have married and had children, and we would be happy together." ”

Jin Guifei said: "I don't think about you for a long time, sighing every day." Since I was elected to the palace, I have been crying and mourning, and I have treated the rest of the people in the palace with a cold and cold appearance, and the first emperor saw me like this, so he had no interest in me, and he never served him, so that until now, he is only a lonely person. ”

When Nuyid heard this, tears fell down again and said: "Mingshu, I also want to guard you like a jade, but I am the son of the Nu family, if I don't marry a wife and have children, it will be the biggest unfilial piety, so I can only marry a wife and have children." But in my heart, I think of you all the time. ”

The two hugged and spoke heartily for a long time, afraid that someone would see it, so they reluctantly separated.

It's just that the two of them have been looked at by the chief eunuch Wang Gonggong.

When Concubine Jin first entered the palace, this princess was just a little eunuch, and Concubine Jin often made people angry in the palace. Later, the prince rose step by step, took charge of the affairs of the harem, and won the trust of Emperor Yan, but the grudge buried twenty years ago has been in the chest of the prince.

Today, the prince knew that Nuyid would definitely meet with Jin Guifei, so he followed quietly behind, but he didn't expect to bump into the two of them who couldn't control their love and hugged each other. This is a violation of heaven.

The prince happily returned to the Tianyang Palace, waited until there was no one around Emperor Yan, and whispered what happened just now to Emperor Yan.

When Emperor Yan heard this, he was shocked, instantly withdrew his expression, and whispered, "Is this the case?" ”

The prince said in a low voice: "The little slave doesn't dare to lie, it's true, the little slave saw it with his own eyes." ”

Emperor Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I know. Then he asked the prince to step aside.

This Emperor Yan didn't dare to attack, firstly, this was the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and the ugly things could not be made public, and secondly, it was his own will to let hundreds of officials enter the palace, and now that such ugly things have happened, it is not a slap in the face, so he is forced to be angry in his chest.

Sun Zhaoyuan saw it really beside him, and he was happy in his heart.

A few days later, Sun Zhaoyuan secretly reported the forged letter of rebellion from Nuyid to the king of Nanyu and others to Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan was still angry, and after reading the secret fold, he immediately called Sun Zhaoyuan for questioning, and said, "Lord Sun, how did you get these letters?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan had already thought of the right words, and said: "During that time, the king of Nanyu wanted to pull the ministers into the gang, in order to prove that his rebellion would succeed, and after getting drunk, he took these letters and let the ministers read them to comfort the ministers, and the ministers took a few letters while he was drunk. ”

Emperor Yan was furious and said, "Why didn't you report to me earlier?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "The minister thought that this matter was very important, and he didn't dare to make a mistake easily, in case of misunderstanding, but the secret agent who stayed in Jianzhou recently reported and found the letter of Nuyide Mitong Nanyu King." The evidence is conclusive, so it is reported to the saints. ”

Emperor Yan slapped the table and said, "This Nuyid, I can't imagine that I am so frustrated, the first emperor and I treat his family well, and I can't imagine that I can do such a reluctant thing." Sun Zhaoyuan, I will hand over this case to you, investigate it well, and we must clean up the residual poison of the Nu family, and return the court to a clean and decent one. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan knelt down and kowtowed, "Obey." ”

Emperor Yan issued a decree and ordered Xu Bing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to assist Sun Zhaoyuan in arresting the relevant people and others, and not letting any of them go. Sun Zhaoyuan arrested Nuid's entire family, and also imprisoned Tao Quanzheng, He Baohua, Lu Sutai and other officials of Nuyid's lineage.

Xu Bing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had some dealings with the Nu family, and did not strictly interrogate the relevant people, etc., Nuyide and others were also wrongfully rebelled, how could they confess.

Sun Zhaoyuan saw this scene and immediately understood the joints. Nanuid and his gang were wronged, and in addition to their own forged letters, where could they find other evidence. The Nu family also has some friendship with Xu Bing, so Xu Bing will not interrogate harshly and offend the Nu family, in case the case of this case changes again, Nuyid is released, not multiple opponents. Moreover, they were all descendants of the Nu family who were imprisoned, and other officials who were good friends with the Nu family were also moving around to help the Nu family get out of danger. Even Saturlu, an important minister in the court, secretly let out the words, telling him that Sun Zhaoyuan would act well, and if he framed the members of the dynasty, he Saturu would never let himself go.

The matter has reached a stalemate, Sun Zhaoyuan is fledgling in the imperial court, and the ministers of the DPRK and China, except for the chief examiner Jin Deha and the nine-gate admiral Wu Biqi, are barely regarded as their own people, and the rest of the people are also some wall grass, if the situation is not right, they will immediately turn the gun and fall into the ground.

Even Jin Deha and Wu Biqi, Sun Zhaoyuan didn't dare to be too sure, these two would try their best to protect themselves at a critical moment.

Sun Zhaoyuan has no way to borrow strength, and even the Dali Temple where he is located has no way to control it. Those officials in Dali Temple have long been intertwined, and they cannot be shaken in the short term.

Sun Zhaoyuan actually expected such a situation before he started, but time is not waiting, if he hesitates, he will suffer from it. The rest can only be taken one step at a time.

After more than a month, Emperor Yan asked at the court meeting: "Nuyid secretly contacted the king of Nanyu to wait for an opportunity to rebel, how was the trial?" ”

Xu Bing played: "All the confidants of Nuyid have been imprisoned, and all the capable people in the Criminal Department have been interrogating suspects day and night, but they have not been able to get any confessions of rebellion." Thinking about this matter, it is a bit strange, if it is really true, there will definitely be some horses and feet exposed, but in this case, the ministers also searched the mansions of relevant people and others, dug three feet into the ground, and did not find any letters of rebellion, nor did they see any preparations for rebellion. ”

Emperor Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you use torture on relevant people?" ”

Xu Bing said: "This matter is very important, and the suspects are all important ministers of the imperial court, so the Criminal Department is particularly cautious about this, and the officials of the Criminal Department unanimously believe that this matter cannot be used against Nuyid and other officials above the third grade, but can only be examined and interrogated, and important confessions must be obtained, and for officials below the third grade, the Criminal Department believes that it is appropriate to use some criminal laws, which is also okay." However, whether it is examination and interrogation, or torture to extract confessions, no evidence of rebellion has been found, and even those testimonies have not found any traces of collusion, so at present, the ministers and others believe that there may be some hidden circumstances in this case. ”

Saturu also said: "Holy Lord, the old minister has also been thinking about whether there is some misunderstanding in this matter. Usually the old minister and the Nu family have been in the same court for decades, and they still know more about the Nu family's family style, if it is said that Nuyid is a bit nepotistic, the old minister can also believe it for the time being, if it is said that Nuyid and the king of Nanyu secretly contacted in order to rebel, the old minister will never believe it. Nuyid's son, the old minister has seen it since he was a child, he has always been a loyal and diligent person who loves his father, he has never done anything to hurt the court, and he has never said anything insulting to the royal family, besides, Nuyid is a member of the Nie Er clan, why should he rebel with a clan with a foreign surname, think about it, my Nie Er clan has always been arrogant, this kind of collusion with a foreign surname, how can Nuyid do it. ”

Emperor Yan also had some doubts in his heart at this time, he had seen the fornication letter taken out by Sun Zhaoyuan before, and the prince saw that Nuyid and Concubine Jin were embracing each other in the palace, and he was convinced in his heart that Nuyid was rebelling for Concubine Jin, but today, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs reported to him, and after more than a month of interrogation, no reliable evidence was found, and what Satulu said was also true, and his heart was shaken.

Emperor Yan asked, "Lord Sun, what do you have to say about this situation?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I believe in this matter from the Criminal Department, and it is indeed difficult to find relevant evidence. The saint is wise, with Nuyd's intelligent heart, how can he casually put the evidence in the palace and let people find it at will, and these evidence must be carefully kept by him or directly destroyed. The Criminal Department went to look for it with great fanfare, how could it be found. And those people involved know that this matter is a major crime of killing the head and exterminating the clan, if there is no ironclad evidence in front of them, how can they admit their guilt. ”

Saturu snorted and said, "Sun Zhaoyuan, what should you do?" If you can't get the evidence, will you never let them go? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan glanced at Satulu with his spare eyes, and said: "Master Sa, please be more patient, this kind of big case needs to take a lot of thought, Zhou Xiang to verify it, so that you can peel off the cocoon and find evidence." ”

Saturu exhaled through his nose and said, "Sun Zhaoyuan, today you will say a time limit, how long will it take to check the evidence?" What if it can't be found within the time limit? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan knelt on the ground and said: "Holy Shengming, such a big case, we must send additional manpower to verify, the minister has the courage to plead with the saint, transfer the relevant people from the criminal department to Dali Temple, and the minister will send capable officials throughout the country to interrogate the case, so that the case can be concluded." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan had already seen that with the Criminal Department, there was no way to define this case. Although the Holy Lord instructed the Criminal Department to cooperate with Sun Zhaoyuan to investigate, Xu Bing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was already a few levels older than you Sun Zhaoyuan, and he was a person who had been an official in the court for decades, so how could he listen to your dispatch, so in fact, it was the Criminal Department that made the decision, but Sun Zhaoyuan couldn't intervene.

The Criminal Department could not count on it, so it could only go into battle in person and seek the rest of the officials who had little intersection with the Nu family or even the hostile officials of the Nu family to try the case, so as to make a turnaround.

It's just that Sun Zhaoyuan's words are also taboo. Sun Zhaoyuan begged Emperor Yan to hand over the case to Dali Temple, and did not want the Criminal Department to intervene, but to transfer other officials from all over the country, which was to slap the face of the Criminal Department, and in front of everyone's eyes, he was sarcastic that the Criminal Department was unfavorable in trying the case.

At this time, Sun Zhaoyuan also knew that Xu Bing was a descendant of Satulu. That Xu Bing, who was born in the imperial examination, has been working under Satulu since he joined the office, offending Xu Bing and Satulu. It's just that it really can't, this kind of offense is just a slap in the face of others, and it's not so bad that it doesn't hurt the sky, compared with Nuyd's killing of women, it's just a small thing.

Sure enough, Xu Bing's face couldn't hold back, and said: "Does Lord Sun think that our Criminal Department is not doing a good job and interrogating improperly, if so, we should write a memorabilia and remove all the officials of our Criminal Department from their posts, so as to meet Lord Sun's wishes." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan hurriedly arched his hand to Xu Bing and said: "Lord Xu, don't misunderstand, the lower officials don't think that there is anything wrong with the criminal department's handling of things, but such an important case was discovered by the lower officials, and it was also handed over by the saint to the lower officials to personally supervise it, and the lower officials wanted to have the case tried by Dali Temple, which was more handy." Moreover, the Criminal Department has always been busy with affairs, and it usually handles some big and important cases, and if all the people are put on this case, in time, the criminal cases throughout the country will not be piled up and countless, and it will not be beneficial to the stability of our dynasty. The lower officials did not think that the criminal department was unfavorable, but just implored the Holy Lord that it was more appropriate to leave this matter to Dali Temple. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan gave the Criminal Department the steps down, and Emperor Yan also made it easy to speak, saying: "What Lord Sun is very worried about is that the Criminal Department does have a lot of affairs, and the criminal department is the chief judge of all cases in the country. ”

Saturu said: "Sun Zhaoyuan, you haven't answered the official's question, how long will it take to complete the trial, and if you can't hear it within the time limit, what should you do?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Lord Sa Da, there is conclusive evidence in this matter, for this case, the official is confident, as long as it is handled by my Dali Temple, within two months, it will definitely be revealed." If within two months, the lower officials can't find the rest of the evidence, forming ironclad evidence, the lower officials will take off the veil hat on their heads and let the Sa people deal with it, even if the Sa people say that I have framed the court officials, or that I am not doing things well, listen to the respect, and listen to your fate. ”

Saturlu has long known about the feud between Nuyid and Sun Zhaoyuan, and has long seen through this matter that Sun Zhaoyuan framed Nuid. It's just that there is something to do between Satulu and Nuyd, and others don't know.

After listening to what Sun Zhaoyuan said, which was exactly what Saturu Lu wanted, Satulu said: "The Holy Lord and the lords of the court will testify today, and Lord Sun himself said that he will get evidence within two months, if he can't get it, he will voluntarily go to the veil hat on his head and let it be disposed of." Don't go back. ”

Since Sun Zhaoyuan has made a move on Nuyde, he has already been ruined and fought against the water, if Nuyid really can't fall off the horse this time, when Nuyid is released to ascend to heaven, he will slander the minister and die dead. At that moment, his heart was horizontal, and he said: "What Xia Guan said today is that the horse is difficult to chase." ”

When Saturu achieved his goal, he said, "It depends on how you end up in two months." ”
