Chapter 30: The Plan Shattered
There was a big case in the harem, and the concubine fell to her death in disheveled clothes, and there was only the drunken White King in the house at that time, that is, the eldest prince.
The emperor almost fainted when he heard this, and ordered the three law divisions to strictly investigate the case on the spot, and the white king was also imprisoned in Dali Temple.
A few days later, the Imperial Study.
Emperor Dayu threw the fold in his hand to the ground, and looked angrily at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, and the new Dali Temple Qing who were kneeling in the hall.
"You've been investigating for so long, and you've come to the conclusion that the case is complicated and still needs further investigation?"
As if they had said it, the three ministers knelt on the ground motionless, looking at their noses and their noses and their hearts.
"Has Concubine Ling been defiled?" The emperor asked the question he was most concerned about.
The autopsy came from the Criminal Department, and Shangshu Wang Hong couldn't speak, so he could only stiffen his head and say: "Your Majesty, Niangniang's status is noble, and she only did a basic injury test. ”
"Did the rebel admit to committing a crime?" The emperor asked again.
The White King was locked up in Dali Temple, and Dali Temple Qing also had to answer, "Back to Your Majesty, the White King claims that he was wronged." ”
"What do you think of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Du Yushi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said slowly: "This case is confusing, the case is complicated, it is difficult to find out for a while, and the minister cannot give an accurate opinion. ”
"Hehe, good, very good, don't think I don't understand your mind, believe it or not I cut you?" The three of them replied meaninglessly, making the emperor laugh angrily.
"Weichen is not capable enough, he can't share the emperor's worries, and it's not a pity to die."
In unison, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely.
The three of them knew in their hearts that even the emperor could not kill the minister for no reason.
If the case cannot be solved, at most it is due to lack of ability, which is not a reason to punish the crime.
"Get out of here, get out of here!" The emperor was angry, grabbed the pen holder on the table and threw it at Dali Siqing, who did not dare to dodge, and was smashed on the spot with a broken head and bleeding, and secretly cursed for bad luck.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Du Yushi were lucky, huh, fortunately, it wasn't me who smashed it.
After the three law chiefs exited the imperial study, they glanced at each other and wiped their sweat together.
Is the case really complicated?
It's a bit complicated, but it's not so complicated that it's impossible to find out.
There is no shortage of talented people in the Three Law Divisions, and this case can be solved.
The reason for the current situation is that the conflict of interest behind the case is too complex.
The emperor intends to appoint the crown prince, and the eldest prince Bai Wang and the second prince Chi Wang are the most powerful contenders.
The two have been conscientious, walking on thin ice, stabbing knives in the back on the surface and anger, and fighting openly and secretly to the point of white-hot.
Now that the White King is involved in this lawsuit for no reason, the easiest thing to think of is that he was framed by the Red King.
If this is the case, then the outcome of this case involves the dispute over the national capital and the position of the East Palace.
Now that the White King is condemned, it will offend the White King's Party; If you help the White King clear his name, he will offend the Red King Party again.
It's not that the three law divisions can't find out the results, but they are dragging and dragging the court to reach a consensus, and these imperial relatives and senior officials in the court need time to compromise, to be flexible, and to exchange interests.
After all, things have already happened, and how to maximize the interests of all parties is the main thing.
For the Red King Party, they must be trying to find a way to completely confirm the charges of the White King, and at the same time, they must also consider which prince the remaining White King Party will push to the front after the fall of the White King and compete with the Red King for the crown prince, after all, there is more than one prince in the White King Party, but now he is the leader.
For the White King Party, the most important thing now is to help the White King clear his name, but also to consider if the White King really falls, then who will be his successor and continue to compete for the crown prince.
These take time.
Taking a step back, it doesn't matter whether the eldest prince is innocent or not, and it doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is the emperor's attitude.
If the emperor favors the eldest prince, the real can also become fake; In the same way, a fake can also be true.
But until now, the emperor has not made any explicit or implicit statements, and the White King Party and the Red King Party have not reached a consensus.
The three law divisions did not dare to act rashly.
If you are not careful, you will never recover, and royal affairs have always been so complicated.
"Call me the iron mercilessly!"
After the chief of the three law departments left, the emperor was still angry, and immediately ordered the commander of the shadow secret guard to enter the palace.
The emperor's original intention was to let the three legal divisions investigate the case clearly, which is a proper judicial procedure.
But the three old guys are very ghostly, and they don't do it.
The emperor knew their considerations, and he couldn't help it.
In desperation, the emperor could only let his own soldiers, the shadow secret guard, investigate.
In fact, the emperor couldn't make up his mind about this matter for a while, so he didn't give any hint to the three law divisions.
The quality of the white king, the emperor is trustworthy, but this concubine is young and beautiful like a flower, which makes the emperor a little untrustworthy and strong-blooded white king.
-------------------------------------
Shadow Secret Guard Yamen, Shen Lian was bored lying on the big chair in his class room, looking at the ceiling with dull eyes, and kept saying in his mouth: "It's over, it's over, the hope of making money is shattered."
After completely solving the trouble of being transferred to Youzhou, Shen Lian was able to implement his plan to make a fortune.
After a business trip in recent days, he did not fool around with Jin Yuze and Zhou Tianlu to teach the workshop, but inspected the market and formulated a money-making plan.
According to his idea, distilled spirits were brewed first, then flower water, and finally glass.
As a result, after some investigation, he was a little disheartened.
Distillation techniques have been around for more than a hundred years, and analogues of toilet water have been popular for decades.
Although there was no glass, when Shen Lian operated it with great interest, he suddenly understood that theory and practice were completely different things.
At this point, he stayed at home for a decadent day, thinking hard about how to make a fortune, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and decided to write a book.
Forgot to sleep and eat, stayed up all night, racked my brains, copied... Oh no, borrowing from two wall-breaking works in a previous life.
"The Power of Fighting, Three Sections"
Resurrection, My Love
Avoid colleagues and quietly go to the book club to submit, and it is useless to be scolded.
The shopkeeper of the book club said that he couldn't read anything other than punctuation.
There's no way, this era can't understand the stalks of later generations.
Another one was borrowed.
"February 2, the Dragon Rises"
As a result, because he was involved in the temple, he was almost arrested, and if it wasn't for Shen Lian's fast running, he would have been escorted back by Yu Linwei.
At this point, he decided to work honestly and strive for an early promotion.
"Shen Zongqi, someone is looking for you outside."
A small flag knocked on the door of Shen Lian's room and informed.
"Who's looking for me?" Sitting up from the recliner, Shen Lian asked.
"A girl."
Xiaoqi was going to talk about a beautiful girl, but he was afraid of offending his future sister-in-law......
Girl?
Shen Lian wondered in his heart, I knew two girls, one was in the Teaching Workshop Division, and the other went to other places.
Who could it be?
Could it be that the widow came to pay off the debt?
Inexplicably, Shen Lian was excited.
