Chapter 148: I think it's so interesting to investigate the case

The incident in Zizhou caused a stir in Kyoto, but today it ended sloppily because of the Queen Mother's two sentences.

Among the evidence submitted by Chu Yu and Chu Nan are the receipts of the Prince's Mansion and the testimony of Qian Zhuang, so the emperor naturally understands that this matter is inseparable from the Prince's Mansion.

Just thinking about it, the emperor also felt that what the Queen Mother said was right.

If the matter of Zizhou is opened, it will also lose the royal face, and the person who deposited the gold ingots in the money bank is dead, and the final hammer cannot be decided, so there is no need to make it known to everyone.

After thinking about it a few times, the emperor put all the blame for the Zizhou incident on the person who went to the money bank to deposit gold ingots, and at the same time, the emperor also vigorously reprimanded the crown prince Chu Wen for not being strict, fined him for one year, and made him think about the prince's mansion for a month.

As soon as the words fell, Chu Nan raised his eyes to look at Chu Yu, only to see that Chu Yu was still slightly drooping, and it seemed that he was not surprised that the emperor had made such a ruling.

Chu Wen was punished, although he was angry in his heart, he also knew that this was the best result, and if he continued to "prove his innocence", he would only bring humiliation on himself.

"The retainers obey."

The emperor's face was always gloomy, Chu Wen knew that he had lost, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he withdrew after giving a salute.

After Chu Wen left, the emperor's face gradually eased.

"Chu Nan has made meritorious efforts in investigating the case, just open your mouth if you want anything."

The emperor's tone was loud, after this incident, he found that the ability of the prince who had been raised outside the palace for more than ten years was really not bad, but the case came to light in a few days, and he should be rewarded!

Chu Nan retracted his gaze, still looking calm and calm with the world, and arched his hand.

"It is the blessing of the sons to be able to share the worries of the father, but the sons are not familiar with Kyoto, and the third brother is actually merit in solving the case quickly, and if it is rewarded, it should also be rewarded by the third brother."

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, and he stroked his beard and nodded, with a hint of approval in his shrewd eyes.

"Don't be arrogant, good!"

"Your third brother's reward is indispensable, but you have also made meritorious contributions to investigating the case, and it is really justifiable to be crowned king."

The corners of Chu Nan's mouth floated a slight invisible arc, stepped forward and lifted the brocade robe and knelt down.

"Thank you, father."

The emperor raised his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, and his eyes fell on Chu Yu, and his smile gradually deepened.

"Yu'er has worked hard to supervise this case, what kind of reward can you ask for?"

Chu Yu raised his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome and peerless face.

"This time I investigated the case with the fourth brother, but I felt that it was interesting, and the sons and daughters were willing to share their father's worries in the future."

The implication is that he has the idea of entering the DPRK and participating in politics.

The emperor had a smile on his face, got up and walked to Chu Yu's side, and patted him on the shoulder with a big palm.

"Okay, it's rare that you have this heart, and you have to be more diligent in the future."

After Chu Nan and Chu Yu left the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor withdrew his smile, and sat back in the chair with a calm face, not knowing what to think.

After a while, he shouted faintly outside the hall.

"Xiaolinzi."

When Gonggong Lin heard this, he immediately bowed down and walked in.

"The slave is here, does the emperor have any orders?"

The bamboo slip in the emperor's hand was retracted, his eyes squinted slightly, and he looked at Lin Yuanan, who had never stood up straight in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Linzi, you have been following me for a long time."

Lin Gonggong's heart sank, and he said cautiously.

"Yes, the slave has served the emperor for more than twenty years."

The emperor sighed slightly, placed the bamboo slip in his hand on the table, picked up a string of Buddhist beads on the table and rolled it in his hand, and said casually.

"If it weren't for your service to me for so many years, I would have almost killed you."

Gonggong Lin's whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and he knelt down with a thud, and in just a moment, a thin layer of sweat had risen on his back.

He knew that the emperor knew about secretly sending someone to send a letter to Kunning Palace, and then kowtowed heavily, with a hint of crying in his sharp voice.

"Minions deserve to die, minions deserve to die."

The emperor frowned, closed his eyes slightly, and spoke lightly after a while.

"Don't take it as an example."

After receiving the emperor's amnesty, Gonggong Lin, who was numb, secretly swallowed his saliva, his face was pale as if he had been fished out of the water, and he was sweating.

He cautiously glanced up at the emperor and swore an oath.

"Thank you to the emperor for not killing the minion, and the minions will definitely take care of this mouth in the future and be loyal to the emperor."

The emperor picked up the bamboo slip again, and Gonggong Lin couldn't see the emperor's face, but only heard the emperor's distant hum and ordered him.

"Go, summon Wan Guiquan and Shen Moli into the palace to see me."

After Chu Wen came out of the Qinzheng Palace, he went straight to the Kunning Palace.

Not surprisingly, the queen naturally scolded Chu Wen again.

Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, she was just deprived of the right to preside over the six palaces by Concubine Ling.

Today, the crown prince was punished by the emperor again for the Zizhou incident.

The East Palace has lost one after another, losing the trust of the emperor, and I don't know if there is a chance to turn over in a short time, how can she not be angry!

Today's situation is too thrilling, and now that she is trapped in the Kunning Palace, it is really impossible to expect her to go to the Qinzheng Palace to save Chu Wen, but fortunately, she asked the Queen Mother with a shrewd mind.

Knowing that the Queen Mother took care of the royal face and was particularly distressed by the Emperor and Sun, she lobbied and said that the Queen Mother came forward to save Chu Wen.

"Queen Mother, it was the son's miscalculation, I never thought that Chu Nan would be able to find out Qianzhuang."

Chu Wen felt remorseful in his heart.

As a result, such a large amount of gold mines were confiscated, and only a few boxes of gold ingots were found, and a lot of silver coins were lost to pave the way in the future.

Second, now all the princes in Kyoto seem to be useless, but they can actually suppress him, Chu Lian, who was originally with him, has also become hostile, and Chu Nan, who has just returned to Kyoto, does not look harmless to humans and animals as on the surface, even the lame Chu Yu in a wheelchair has once again been praised by the emperor because of the matter of Zizhou.

And his status in the emperor and even in the court has plummeted, even with the support of the Lu government, it is difficult to regain the hearts of the people he has lost.

The queen snorted coldly, at this moment she had long lost the warmth and gentleness in front of outsiders.

"Miscalculation? Is this more than what you have miscalculated? ”

Chu Wen frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Does the queen have any other plans?"

The queen was dressed in gorgeous clothes, pacing in the hall anxiously, and only spoke quietly after a while.

"As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, this palace will think about it without your thoughts, you should also think about it, if Chu Yu enters the court to participate in politics, can you be sure to suppress him?"

Chu Wen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted.

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry, even if Chu Yu participates in politics, he is a lame, and no matter how much he has his father's trust, his father will not hand over the Southern Dynasty to a lame."

The queen kept her face calm and did not speak.

Chu Wen seems to be right, no matter how much Chu Yu is appreciated by the emperor, he is just a disability, his legs have been seen by all the famous doctors of the Southern Dynasty and even the world's masters, and there is no possibility of improvement.

It's just that why does she still feel a little uneasy!?

The queen seemed to have a headache again, pinched her eyebrows, and said earnestly.

"Now the East Palace is single, and the palace has more opponents in this harem, if she joins forces with Concubine Zhe, I am afraid that this palace will have to spend some energy to deal with, if you have no greater help, I am afraid that the position of the prince will not be guaranteed!"

When the words fell, Chu Wen's face sank even more.

did not bring down Chu Lian for a while, which also shows that they have been the result of hostility from then on, but fortunately, the woman who married Chu Lian is the daughter of the Qing family of Dali Temple, and she can't become a climate.

"The queen mother means marriage?"

The more the queen bothered, the more painful her head became, she flicked her wide sleeves, sat down on the main seat, and closed her eyes slightly.

"Yes, if someone hadn't made it impossible for you to return to Kyoto in time, the palace would have chosen a good family affair for you as early as the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet."

When it came to marriage, Chu Wen thought of Su Youning for some reason.

Since he returned to Kyoto, the two have not seen each other, and they don't know how good Su Youning is now!

"The son, but the queen mother is in charge."

Even if Chu Wen has someone in his heart, but as the crown prince, the candidate for the crown princess can only be selected by the emperor or the queen.

The queen pinched her eyebrows, frowned and waved her hand.

"Go down, stay in the Prince's Mansion recently, don't make the emperor angry again."
