"Hall Master Han, thanks to you this time, if you hadn't blocked Uncle Zhen Yuan in time, he would have escaped."

Lu Zhi came to Han Yun and said with his palms clasped.

"The capital is so big, now that the city gate is closed, where can he flee to."

Han Yun shook his head.

"Alas, it's different, he hid in the mansions of other princes and ministers, and it would be difficult for us to search for them, otherwise we wouldn't have been hiding by Qiu Yuan for so long.

In any case, I still want to thank the Lord of the Han Palace, as well as the Six Princes, Lord Chai and the Lord of Nian'an, for your merits, and this official will truthfully report to Your Majesty.

Uncle Zhenyuan, I'll take it back first, and we'll see you tomorrow. ”

"Farewell."

Everyone separated, Han Yun and the other three hugged Xiao Yuxin and also went back to the palace.

After arriving at the palace, Han Yun said while drinking tea,

"Will Uncle Zhen Yuan confess the prince?"

When Wang Fugui heard this, he sneered, shook his head and said,

"If Uncle Zhen Yuan is smart, just put all the blame on the head of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he is at most a harboring criminal, but it depends on how Lu Handle convicts him, if he is convicted of collusion, it is a big crime of the Nine Clans, if it is a harbor, it is exile, the family is enslaved, and the property is confiscated.

Besides, Uncle Zhen Yuan and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, even if they confessed to the prince, Lu Shan would not report it.

Even if Lu Shan reported it, the emperor could say that they had framed the crown prince.

If the old man wants to protect him, he can protect him no matter what, whoever the old man wants to kill, you have to die even if you are not guilty.

This time, it was obvious that the emperor did not want to investigate the responsibility of the crown prince, and that was almost the end of it. ”

Chai Yuan's face was a little displeased, but he was not a pedantic person, and he was also well versed in officialdom, so he could only nod helplessly,

"It's okay, but in this way, we are a good thing to ruin the prince, and the prince will definitely be reprimanded tomorrow."

"Well, among them, there is also your share of Lord Chai."

Wang Fugui will not let go of any opportunity to win over Chai Yuan and divide the prince.

"I know, let's see what His Majesty says tomorrow."

"Okay."

The next day, the morning meeting.

Wang Fugui got up early in the morning and went to attend the court meeting, which usually started before dawn, while Han Yun needed to wait until dawn to go to the Praetorian Guard camp.

At the court meeting, Lu Shanshan took the lead in standing up.

"Your Majesty, the minister captured Qiu Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and his henchman Uncle Zhen Yuan yesterday night."

"Oh? Qiu Yuan caught it? ”

As the emperor spoke, he glanced at the prince, and his eyes seemed to be saying two words,

Rubbish!

The prince hurriedly lowered his head and avoided his gaze.

"Where did you catch it? Why is Uncle Zhen also involved? ”m.

The Emperor asked lightly.

"Back to the Holy Lord, yesterday the six princes, Lord Chai, Lord Nian'an and Lord Han took the young sister of Annan Hou to the temple fair.

At the temple fair, the son of Zhenyuan Bo played with the eldest daughter of Prince Gong Pingyang County Lord, and met the Han Dianzhu, the son of Zhenyuanbo provoked the Han Dianzhu and bullied the young sister of Annan Hou, and the Han Dianbo couldn't bear it, so he taught Zhenyuan Bo a lesson.

The lord of the Han Palace was as wise as a torch and very intelligent, and he saw that Zhenyuan Bo Shizi had a ghost in his heart, and under some interrogation, Zhenyuan Bo Shizi confessed that Qiu Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was hiding in his private residence.

At that moment, the Lord of the Han Palace, the Six Princes, Lord Chai and the Lord of Nian'an went to the Imperial City and arrested Qiu Yuan, and then, the Six Princes and Lord Chai escorted the prisoners to the Imperial Prison and handed them over to Weichen.

Weichen took people to Zhen Yuanbo's house to arrest people, but he didn't expect Zhen Yuanbo to receive the report, and he packed up and took his family to prepare to abscond.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Han Palace guarded there in advance and blocked them in the house, so that the soldiers could capture Zhen Yuanbo's family effortlessly.

Yesterday night, the minister interrogated overnight, Qiu Yuan and Zhen Yuanbo had both confessed, confessed to their crimes, and admitted that the two colluded with each other to buy the demon clan and assassinate His Majesty. ”

After speaking, Lu Zhi took out the paper from his arms and offered it with both hands,

"Your Majesty, this is the confession of the two of them."

Gonggong Cao immediately stepped forward, took the confession, walked to the emperor with small steps, and put it on the table.

The emperor picked up the testimony and looked at it, and said,

"Well, since the prisoner has confessed and the evidence is conclusive, then it will be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and he will be beheaded tomorrow."

The officials of Dali Temple below twitched the corners of their mouths when they heard this, you always ordered to be beheaded directly, and we will also try a fart.

It's not like you're going to end the coffin with a word.

In ancient times, the Criminal Department was equivalent to the Ministry of Public Security, the Dali Temple was equivalent to the court, and the Yushitai was equivalent to the procuratorate.

But this time, the emperor dictated the dynasty and ordered it directly.

"Xuan, Qiu Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Huang An, the uncle of Zhenyuan, colluded with the demon clan and assassinated me, the crime is extremely heinous, the crime is unforgivable, and tomorrow it will be beheaded, all their property will be confiscated, and their families will be sent to the frontier as slaves."

"Your Majesty."

The ministers below chanted.

It stands to reason that the assassination is a heinous crime, and it should be punished by the nine clans, and the whole family will be cut off no matter how bad it is, but the emperor knows that the two of them are just accomplices, and the mastermind is still standing below, so he will be punished lightly.

"Your Majesty."

Lu Shanshan said again,

"In this case, the Six Princes, Lord Chai, Lord Han Palace, and Lord Nian'an County have made great contributions, please make a decision on your Majesty."

Yesterday, the six princes helped Lu Shan, and Lu Shan, naturally, wanted to repay the favor and repay a few of them.

The Emperor nodded,

"I didn't expect that the Lord of the Han Palace had only been here for a day, and he helped the court catch the criminal, it was really my lucky star, and this sixth man and Chai Yuan had also made great contributions in the past two years.

Meritorious service cannot be rewarded, the ability of the six princes is obvious to all, I propose, the six princes Wang Hao, who has both ability and political integrity, can serve as the head of the household department, what does the public love Qing want? ”

Hearing this, a minister beside the prince was about to stand up and object, but the prince turned his head and glared at the minister fiercely, and the man immediately understood and returned to his original position.

"Oh? Guo Aiqing has something to say? ”

The Emperor looked at the minister.

When the man heard this, he immediately said,

"Minister...... The minister felt that the six princes could indeed take on the heavy responsibility, and the minister stood up just to say that the rewards of Lord Chai and the Lord of the Han Palace must also be there. ”

"Then why did you stand back again?"

A sneer tugged at the corner of the emperor's mouth.

The minister broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said,

"The minister suddenly remembered that with His Majesty's sage, he naturally will not forget, and the minister should not mention it too much, and I hope that His Majesty will forgive his sins."

"Above the court, you will naturally speak freely, you will not be offended for your words, you have to brainstorm to choose the best way."

All the ministers agreed.

The Emperor continued,

"Prince."

"The son is here."

"This time, you made a big mistake and neglected your duties, and Qiu Yuan was even more slack and did nothing to arrest the criminal.

During this time, don't go to the cabinet to assist, go to the camp of the Praetorian Guard, worship Han Yun as a teacher, and learn from others how to be discerning and how to lead and train the guards. ”

"Erchen...... Compliance. ”

The prince's face was full of respect and humility.

Some people died, but not completely......
