Chapter 233: Taihe Hall Investigates the Murderer (1)

The entire Taihe Hall fell into silence, and everyone was watching the people of the main division go to the hall, especially when their eyes fell on Huo Yijun's body.

As soon as the emperor said a word, he was quiet, and they all waited to see how the little son of the Huo family would accept the holy will to arrest the murderer in public.

However, everyone found that at such a critical time, Jiang Sizheng of Qingzheng Division was not here, and many people also raised such doubts, and talked about it one after another, which gradually evolved into doubts about the ability of this little boy Huo.

The people present were all relatives of the emperor, and the Huo family sat in the seat under Huo Guifei, Huo Ling, who heard these discussions, did not have any taste in his heart, such a scene, if Huo Yijun could solve it smoothly, it would be fine, if not, their Huo family's face would be lost in front of the emperor today.

So he thought of Jiang Xie.

"Such a big thing happened at the coronation ceremony, and the officials of the Qingzheng Division were all present, why didn't I see Jiang Sizheng, did no one inform him?"

Everyone also reacted, and they really didn't see Qingzheng Si Zheng Jiang Xue, and the topic turned unprepared.

Jiang Si is a person from the Iwagawa Jiang family, the mother family of the Queen Mother, and a real royal prince, so he should appear at the coronation ceremony, but now he has not seen anyone, which is really strange.

However, someone soon explained, and a marquis said from the side: "Speaking of Jiang Sizheng, I saw it when I came, and then I saw him and Chengenhou go out of the palace first, saying that there was a big case." ”

"I'm out of the palace, no wonder I didn't see anyone."

"Jiang Sizheng is not here, the other adults of Qingzheng Division should also be able to find the truth, don't delay, Lord Xiao Huo starts."

Several clan relatives poured wine, and there was a posture of waiting to listen to the book.

At this time, Huo Yijun walked up to the center of the hall, his eyes were resolute, and his gestures were full of confidence, and behind him were two adults, Haiqing and Chen Changsheng of Qingzhengsi.

"Your Majesty, after a day of investigation, the minister now has clues about the whole case, and he also knows who the murderer is."

The emperor immediately became interested: "Who is it?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, before revealing the real murderer, Rong Chen will carefully return the details of the entire two cases, and the truth process must be very curious."

The emperor thought about what he said for a moment, so he waved his hand patiently, signaling that she could do what she wanted.

Huo Yijun raised his head, stood tall, and said confidently: "The beginning of the matter was a sudden explosion during the coronation ceremony of King Chang, so let's talk about this explosion first, the lower official first wants to ask the Lord Lang of the Ministry of Rites about the specific details of this coronation ceremony. ”

The Emperor glanced over to the banquet where the Ministry of Rites was sitting and threw away a look.

I saw the Lord of the Ministry of Rites get up, walk to the center of the hall, and salute the emperor: "Your Majesty! ”

After that, he turned to look at Huo Yijun with a tough attitude: "This official has presided over the court ceremonies many times, and there has never been a mistake, and the specific details of the coronation ceremony have also been written and submitted by the minister, this process is all approved by His Majesty, what objection does Lord Xiao Huo have?" ”

Huo Yijun naturally knew the ability of this Lord of Etiquette, they were the most polite people in the entire court, and they were naturally the most capable of making things happen in etiquette.

She asked gently: "Don't be nervous, Lord Squire, the lower official just doesn't understand one part of the coronation process, and feels very confused, I wonder if the lord can solve the confusion for the lower official?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"The lower official wants to ask, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens in the coronation ceremony, in the impression of the lower officials, the sacrifice to the heavens is carried out before the crowning, why did the Ministry of Rites change the process this time and move the sacrifice to the end? What is the reason for this change? ”

The face of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites changed, his eyes dodged, and after a while, he found the explanation: "The process of sacrificing to the heavens has indeed changed, that is because of the important royal ceremonies, and the sacrifices to the heavens are placed at the end, and His Majesty has told the lower officials to make the crowning ceremony of King Chang grand, so the official has transferred his position to show His Majesty's importance to His Royal Highness King Chang." ”

Huo Yijun also made some sense when he heard this answer, Huo Guifei was favored, and it made sense for the emperor to take care of King Chang.

But His Royal Highness King An, who was sitting in a high position, suddenly spoke up and asked the waiter of the Ministry of Rites again: "If the Ministry of Rites wants to show the emperor's importance to King Chang, it can be carefully designed during the crowning process, why do you think about it to sacrifice to the sky." ”

"The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens can indeed change the position as you said, but as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, don't you know that as long as the crown prince is crowned, the sacrifice to the heavens will be moved to the end to pay tribute to the heavens and comfort the ancestors!"

As soon as King An said, the face of the clan relatives who had been watching the excitement became serious.

I didn't expect that a small coronation ceremony would cause so many things.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites immediately knelt down and looked at the emperor for help: "Your Majesty......"

The emperor pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything for a long time, and probably didn't remember whether the regulations submitted by the Ministry of Rites mentioned the matter of the relocation of the heavenly sacrifice ceremony.

Huo Yijun interrupted the atmosphere at this time.

"That's not the point, you just need to tell me if the location of this Heavenly Ritual was moved back to your will, or if someone gave you a favor or threatened you to force you to do so,"

This sentence undoubtedly pushed the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to the fire and roasted it.

He trembled and said, "Yes...... It was my own arrangement......"

"Okay, this topic is here first, and the summary is that you figured out the emperor's thoughts, and moved the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens to after the coronation ceremony without authorization, and after the ceremony began, His Majesty did not perceive the key to this place, and you think this matter has passed."

"Am I right?"

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said firmly, "Yes, that's it. ”

"Okay, according to what the Lord of the Ministry of Rites said, the facts and the situation is like this, so the utensils used in the next sacrifice, the stove, and the incense candles are all prepared by the people of the Ministry of Rites, right?"

"Yes." The voice of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites became quieter and quieter, completely losing the sense of confidence he had before.

Huo Yijun asked again: "Then why is the order of worshipping the heavens arranged like that, why can't the concubines and other female dependents come forward, the sacrifice to the heavens is a fixed candidate for His Majesty, isn't there one in the coronation ceremony that the crowned person wants to help his parents' skirts stand up, why has this one been canceled?" ”

"This ......"

The people present looked at the waiter of the Ministry of Rites one after another, and their suspicious eyes became more and more.

Jiang Xie said coldly for the waiter of the Ministry of Rites: "Cancel this article, so that Huo Guifei will not come close and be bombed, and at the same time, you can determine who will be bombed, and it is best to blow up whom." ”

The audience was solemn, and the atmosphere became more and more serious.

This coronation ceremony is mixed with other hidden facts, involving the most sensitive issues.

Take the heir!

"The minister didn't do it, the explosion has nothing to do with the minister, please ask Your Majesty to learn from it!!"

Huo Guifei sat there like a pins and needles, and hurriedly got up to argue: "Your Majesty, you listen to the concubine's explanation......"
