The clerk re-laid the paper, grabbed the pen, and looked up at Cun Zhao and Taisu, ready to record.

Cun Zhao caught a glimpse of it with his spare eyes, then lowered his head and said slowly: "I didn't want to confess the crown prince in the next place, but now that the old imperial uncle is in danger, if you see him die, you really have the trust of His Highness." ”

"What does Your Highness entrust to you? Let's talk about them one by one. Guo Xiang asked.

Cun Zhao replied: "That's right, yesterday I went to the palace with my uncle to meet the prince and begged him to intercede for us. His Royal Highness knew that Uncle Huang was innocent, but he still treated him with courtesy, sighed that Uncle Huang was 'really pitiful', and agreed to our request. It's just that due to the current situation, I am going to wait a few days before making a statement to the emperor. How do you know that today I was arrested in a hurry, and there is nothing I can do. If you are ashamed of the prince's life, what face do you have to survive in the world! Please condemn me to death. After speaking, he stretched out his hand from the wooden flail slightly, and reluctantly made a gesture, and fell to the ground for a long time.

Guo Xiangren was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "You really don't want to die, and you brought the prince in." Fortunately, the case was shelved first, and the official went back to ask His Royal Highness, if it was the truth, Guo personally apologized to the old emperor's uncle; If you lie falsely, you will be guilty of another layer of sin, and you will be put to death with you! ”

When Cun Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, beads of sweat oozed from his head, and he replied softly: "Yes......" and was escorted out by several pawns, looking back at that Taisu, he had already fainted.

"Lord Ye," Guo Xiangren took the confession from the clerk's hand, put it in front of the table, and smiled strangely at Ye Yongjia, "I am on your order, and all the things that should be tried have been tried." You're the case officer, and it's time for you to put pen to paper. ”

Ye Yongjia glanced at the confession a few times, and said calmly: "I will give it to the emperor at the meeting, Siqing can rest assured." ”

The Hunan people were about to nod, but they saw that the clerk next to him looked panicked, and gave him a look vigorously, and had the intention of speaking, so he leaned on the back of the chair and asked, "Clerk, do you have something to say to Lord Ye?" ”

The clerk rubbed his hands hesitantly: "The small, the little one wants to dare to say a word, but he is afraid of ......."

"What are you afraid of, just say it." Ye Yongjia raised his hand to signal.

The villain thinks that this is a very small matter, just take this confession and ask the prince, why bother the emperor? not only delayed the progress of the investigation, but also possibly made the king suspicious and discorded with His Royal Highness's father and son. ”

Ye Yongjia said with a straight face: "I was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case, as a minister, if I don't report my feelings, but discuss with the prince privately, won't it make the emperor even more angry?" The bookstore must not think like this! The secretary listened, but was silent.

"It's still Lord Ye who knows the courtesy of a courtier, and he doesn't have to blame him as soon as he is a small official. I hope you will write a recital as soon as possible so that this case can be closed. After that, he asked Ye Yongjia to pick up the book and send it out of prison.

The secretary office followed behind the Hunan people and asked eagerly: "Shicai Cun Zhaoming is clearly accusing the prince, why do you allow Ye Yongjia to chase after him to the end?" If you let Your Majesty play it, how can it be! ”

The Hunan people smiled: "I've thought too much about the book. Ye Yongjia didn't have madness, he was a courtier, could he dare to fight against the prince? The reason why he wanted to ask questions was nothing more than knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so as to deter Lord Chen. Who can't see this little trick? Anyway, he is the one who offends His Royal Highness the Prince, so let him be! ”

"Are you really crazy?" Cai Xianqing glanced at those confessions, and stared at Ye Yongjia widely, "I've said it ten thousand times before, you can't implicate the prince, this is your idea!" ”

"The arrow is on the string, I have to send it," Ye Yongjia rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The prince has long been with Chen Dang, and he can't tolerate us in his eyes." We have repeatedly tried to cut off our momentum, will we keep swallowing our anger? It's better to grasp the emperor's suspicion and let the crown prince's position as the prince be shaken, this is our only chance to win......"

"Tinglong's words can be described as a big rebellion." Cai Xianqing said.

Ye Yongjia laughed self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I have never understood the words 'loyal monarch and patriotism' since elementary school." Which of the careers you and I want to do is not a big rebellion? I remember that you advised me that we could not steer this ship, and that we could only make minor repairs to it. But after all these years, I still can't bear this so-called fact, as if I only give an inch of favor to the people, I can be at ease, think that I am worthy of my conscience, and be at ease from now on. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "But I will only suffer for it." Now there is an opportunity to get rid of this end, and it is possible to set off a storm to disrupt the original order...... Isn't it worth the risk, even if it's so risky? After all, Liu Zhennian's face flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have a little understanding of the former prime minister.

Cai Xianqing's heart trembled for a long time, and he was moved: "Tinglong, I respect you for having such ambitions. But if you plan to depose the crown prince, you must first order one person to fight with him. How can we fight with a prince who has no support? ”

"There's a guy down there!"

The two looked at each other and saw that one of the principals, Wan Yu, lifted the curtain and broke into the back room, shaking a paper fan in his hand.

Cai Xianqing suddenly smiled, got up and pulled Wan Yuzhi over, and said to Ye Yongjia: "Master Wan is good at inquiring about news in various places, and he is not wrong to ask him!" ”

Wan Yuzhi sat down, held one leg, and said slowly: "Engong doesn't know, there is a king Yi who lives somewhere outside Beijing, and he is the eldest son of His Majesty's concubine, and his temperament is extremely heroic. And like to recruit the world's talents, the house has raised hundreds of literati guests, for which they have scattered their family wealth, and they also feel comfortable. ”

"Listening to what you said, this person is really an unruly person, and I'm afraid he has no interest in the position of the prince." Ye Yongjia then said.

Wan Yuzhi shook his head: "There is another story in this. When the crown prince was still the king of Xu, he did not agree with the king of Yi, and although the two were not far apart, they never met several times. King Xu was a solemn and serious person, and naturally he couldn't get used to King Yi's behavior, so he secretly wrote down all his daily actions and made a performance, so that the local officials could tell the emperor on his behalf. After some reason, this matter was learned by King Yi, and he personally went to King Xu's mansion to scold, and the two were like breaking off friendship and regarded as enemies. ”

"If the emperor doubts the crown prince, he can invite him to be the prince. This prince has gained a lot of hope in the world by adopting many literati, and if this discussion can really arise, there will be no shortage of supporters! ”
