Following.

Standing in a bunch of ministers in official uniforms, Qin Shuihan was a little distracted.

Conquest, ask for money.

It seems like it's been around these two things all along.

Fortunately, his father is a Ming monarch and did not increase the taxes of the people, but what is it to live and work in peace and contentment?

Qin Shuihan took a breath, his chest was a little empty, he knew that he had lost weight.

Haven't come out of grief yet.

The position that Qin Zhe had been standing in was now occupied by himself.

He suddenly thought of his second brother.

As soon as Qin Zhe falls, it's time for the second brother to return to the palace, right?

However, he noticed that there was still one person who did not appear in the morning court.

Yan Linjin did not attend.

His position was occupied by Qi Yuyan, and it seemed that there was no longer his seat here.

Could it be that the person behind the rumors is Qi Yuyan?

If this is the kind of means, how can you be worthy of being an emperor?!

The orange-red dawn shone in, and the candles in the temple were eclipsed.

The morning of the day finally came to an end.

"Retreatβ€”"

Qin Shuihan's head buzzed, and he finally focused on his father.

He glanced at Emperor Qin Ming, only to see that the other party was also looking at him.

There was a hint of anger in his father's cold eyes.

Qin Shuihan bowed slightly, he didn't want to be his father's expectation.

"Enlighten my father, my son has something important to tell. It's better to take the face of my fatherβ€”"

Qin Huan glanced at the brother beside him.

Emperor Qin Ming narrowed his eyes, it was rare for this son to make some noise.

"A few of you, move with me to the Heavenly Pavilion."

The group marched towards the Heavenly Pavilion.

"Fifth brother, what does the sixth brother have to tell his father?"

Qin Shuihan rolled his eyelids without interest.

The chariot slowly fell.

Several people followed Emperor Qin Ming to the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion.

Emperor Qin Ming was a little tired, and the reason why he chose the Heavenly Pavilion was just because there was a pool in front of this place.

The spring breeze blows a pool of clear water, which is very comfortable.

He stretched his shoulders and leaned back in the jade chair.

"Huan'er, what's the matter?"

Saying that, Emperor Qin Ming closed his eyes.

Qin Huan was slightly stunned, if his words were spoken, what kind of expression would his father have.

"Father, son-in-law has family affairs......"

"Hmm."

Housekeeping?

What could happen!

Emperor Qin Ming's eyelids didn't move.

Zhe'er was deposed, Han'er's princess was killed, and Zhen Qiang cried to herself all day long that Zhe'er was just confused for a while, and her heart was extremely tired.

Emperor Qin Ming's reply made Qin Huan feel terrified.

But Qin Shuihan and Qin Yi's eyes fell on him again.

It's hard to ride a tiger!

Qin Huan gritted his teeth and said, "Enlighten your father, your sons have a roster that they want to present to their father." ”

Respectfully, he took out a beautifully bound booklet from his sleeve and presented it in his hand.

Jing Lan thought for a moment and immediately took the booklet in Qin Huan's hand.

He frowned slightly, such a green binding seemed to be a book commonly used by eunuchs in the palace.

Emperor Qin Ming tried to open his eyes and looked at the booklet in Jing Lan's hand.

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Qin Ming kowtowed slightly.

The sun is shining brighter and warmer in the attic, making it a great time to take a break.

Jing Lan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately presented the booklet she was holding to Emperor Qin Ming.

Emperor Qin Ming took the booklet and looked at it gracefully.

After a while, the rustling sound of flipping books suddenly turned into the sound of flipping through the books.

The more Emperor Qin Ming rolled over, the tighter his brows tightened.

Smack-

The booklet was slammed to the ground.

Emperor Qin Ming's eyes burst with uncontrollable anger.

"Bold! What a Zhen Qiang! ”

Qin Shuihan and Qin Yi's eyes met.

What is written in the booklet that can make my father so angry.

Qin Huan lowered his head, and was also so frightened by Emperor Qin Ming's anger that he didn't dare to breathe.

Zhen Qiang reigned for a day, Qin Zhedu was still threatening, how could there be a mother who didn't help her children.

If she does not fall, none of their brothers will be able to ascend to the throne of the crown prince safely.

Qin Huan clenched his fists, this was his choice.

He hated Qin Zhe for colluding with Chu Xinyi to kill Yi'er.

This time, he must completely defeat Qin Zhe and cut off all his thoughts!

Qin Shuihan lowered his head and pondered the contents of this roster, what could shake Zhen Qiang's status as the queen?

In the middle of the ring, Emperor Qin Ming calmed his anger, looked at the sons with their heads bowed in front of him, he closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.

Zhen Qiang deserves to die, but at this time, Huan'er handed over this roster, and her intention was also very obvious, that is, to completely bring down Zhe'er.

In the battle for succession, where is there any brotherhood.

Didn't he poison his second brother and fifth brother behind his back.

History is always strikingly similar, and who will be the winner in the end?

"Yi'er, do you know what's written in this booklet?"

Emperor Qin Ming's eyebrows raised slightly, he wanted to test whether Qin Yi and Qin Shuihan were involved in this matter.

Qin Yi moved his lips, he didn't know how to answer.

"Back to my father, son... Ignorance. ”

"Hmm."

Emperor Qin Ming's gaze swept sharply across Qin Shuihan's face.

The eyes are blank, and they are described as withered.

He was a little disappointed.

"Han'er doesn't know?"

"Erchen wants to know the contents of the book."

"In the booklet is a list of those Zhen Qiang has secretly killed over the years-"

Emperor Qin Ming paused, gritted his teeth and continued: "My heir! β€œ

This was indeed a surprise to everyone.

Qin Shuihan also tightened his brows, how could such a thing happen in the palace?

He glanced at Qin Yi.

But this is indeed what Zhen Qiang did!

Although Qin Yi was also surprised, he seemed very calm.

The mother concubine almost died in the hands of Zhen Qiang back then.

Jing Lan stared at the booklet deadly, this trace was indeed from Gao Feng's hand.

"Huan'er, where did you get this booklet?"

"The mother concubine is not in good health, and when she entered the palace to visit her mother yesterday, she felt that the night was a little cold, so she helped her mother to ask for some charcoal. When he met his father-in-law, who was very drunk, he kindly sent him to the celebrant and accidentally found him slipping on the ground. Erchen flipped through it casually, and felt that the content of this booklet was very-"

Emperor Qin Ming's gaze seemed to see through Qin Huan.

I can't talk about any loopholes, but it doesn't sound realistic.

Gao Feng is the chief eunuch, can he let Huan'er meet him?

Emperor Qin Ming sighed.

This sigh stirred up different ripples in the hearts of his three sons.

Qin Shuihan felt an unknown crisis, although he didn't understand the connection between them, it seemed that the situation in the palace was too complicated.

This is the inevitable result of the harem dispute.

The spring draft is just a few days away, but this year's spring will be the fewest ever passed.

My father actually set the age at seventeen to twenty, which is not the fifteenth year of the previous year.

Qin Yi's heart tightened, and he was ready to discuss it with the fifth brother later, it was time for Yunxi to investigate.

Qin Huan frowned, what does the father mean?

"Huan'er, find out the person involved and report it to me privately."

Qin Huan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect his father to let him investigate the matter.

But he didn't have any experience in investigating cases.

"Back to my father, my sons must find out about this matter as soon as possible......"

Emperor Qin Ming rubbed his head and said in a deep voice: "I will not make a prince for the time being, you should focus on the official business at hand." ”

Qin Shuihan replied without any concern: "Erchen takes the order." ”

I didn't care about the crown prince before, and now I don't care even more.

Qin Yi frowned, and immediately said, "Erchen takes the order." ”

But in his heart, the position of the crown prince belongs to his fifth brother.

Qin Huan was slightly stunned, although he was unwilling, he immediately agreed: "Erchen make persistent efforts, I hope to share my father's worries like the fifth brother as soon as possible." ”

Qin Shuihan glanced at him, the ninth brother Qin Shuojin is also over seventeen, and the two imperial brothers are also over fifteen, there are many candidates for the crown prince, so why bother.

Out of the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion.

Qin Huan hurriedly stopped in front of Qin Shuihan.

"Fifth brother, are you satisfied with my gift?"

"You didn't find that booklet."

Qin Huan was a little weak-hearted, why did he say it so surely?

β€œβ€¦ It's not me, but it did happen by accident. ”

"Have you ever wondered why you got that booklet at this time? Gao Gonggong was able to climb to the position of the chief manager, how could he be so negligent? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Qin Huan lost the high-spirited look he had just now, but his uncle would definitely not frame him, and the booklet was indeed obtained by his uncle himself.

"Are you jealous that I caught Zhen Qiang's life?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Qin Shuihan couldn't cry or laugh, what his father explained to him, where is it just such a simple investigation, it is clearly a temptation.

Zhen Qiang's killing of the heir will inevitably involve many people, and it is clearly a hot potato.

And he was very suspicious that it was a ploy from beginning to end.

"Sixth brother is really amazing! It's better to be ashamed of my brother. ”

Qin Shuihan was too lazy to talk to him, and had kindly nodded to him just now.

It's a pity that he didn't grasp the deep meaning in the slightest.

Qin Shuihan glanced at Qin Yi and quickened his pace.

Qin Huan was a little bored with himself, he stopped and shouted at Qin Shuihan, "Fifth brother, don't let me down. ”

Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, Emperor Qin Ming abolished Zhen Qiang in front of his ministers.

The holy decree declares: The way of the lost woman, there is the poison of the wolf and tiger, the clan is resentful, degraded to a concubine, and handed over to the criminal department for questioning.

Zhenwan tightened her brows, Your Majesty let himself judge the case, isn't it just to let yourself convict her!

He glanced at Xue Lu, only to see that he was also frowning at himself.

The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a spark.

Although Dali Temple audited, but His Majesty assigned herself in front of the ministers, Queen Zhen will definitely not be able to turn over.

Why bother struggling unnecessarily.

Xue Lu's lips were tightly closed, he must do his best to help Queen Zhen!

Both of them were secretly competing.

However, it was Qin Huan who wrinkled his brows the most.

He spent the night revising on the knowledge of the legal code last night, just to show it in front of his father this time.

But now it seems that my father doesn't trust him at all!

"Huan'er, you learn from Master Zhen in this matter."

was named by his father, and Qin Huan immediately raised his spirits.

"Yes, father, son-in-law must live up to his father's expectations."

Zhenwan glanced at Qin Shuihan, and wondered a little in her heart, what did Your Majesty mean by pushing King Huan to himself?

However, Qin Shuihan at this moment did not have any expression, it was okay for his father to cultivate Qin Huan, it was his father's business.

But he had to figure out what was going on.

After retreating, Qin Shuihan quickly rushed to Zhenjuan's public hall, left a few words in his ear and quickly left.

Qin Yi did not act with him, but rushed to the Ronglan Palace of the mother concubine.

He found Yunxi and assigned her a task for the first time.

"Fifth brother told you to be careful, and if you feel in danger, you should stop immediately."

Yun Xi nodded, he had been undercover for three years, and he also knew a lot about the palace.

However, the emperor's golden armor guard was indeed very difficult, especially the armor, and it was impossible to tell who it was.

She had seen a man dressed in eunuch costume kill three people in an instant.

If it weren't for his good work, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape that person's pursuit.

Later, she heard that one of the three people killed was a eunuch with strong martial arts.

Qin Yi handed her two more medicine bottles.

This is a special poison made by the Wind Shadow Pavilion.

Yun Xi took the medicine bottle without hesitation, she understood the contents of the bottle better than Qin Yi.

One is for taking and the other is for smearing.

In short, let yourself be unrecognizable and die quickly.

"The two princes rest assured, Yunxi will definitely live up to its mission."

Qin Yi nodded, he still clearly remembered Qin Shuihan's expression when he handed over the poison to him.

And the phrase "if you are not careful, you will never recover" also lingered in his mind.

Zhen Qiang's case is in full swing.

The Inner Hall of the Criminal Department.

Zhenhuan was dressed in an official uniform, but took off her official hat.

He poured a cup of tea for the uncle and nephew in front of him, and said straight to the point: "King Huan, Cao Yushi." The saint handed over Zhen Qiang's matter to Weichen for investigation, and hoped that Cao Yushi would cooperate. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Zhen, someone Cao will definitely cooperate."

Cao Chang straightened up the official hat, this matter was not trivial, and as he expected, it was somewhat unexpected by him.

Qin Huan took a sip of tea, and now, he couldn't say that the roster was discovered by himself.

"Cao Yushi, can you tell me in detail how the roster was obtained?"

Cao Changqing nodded.

"As a courtier, you are naturally not allowed to enter the harem. However, on that day, Weichen specially showed His Majesty, just to bring an object to his sister. ”

Zhenwan stared at Cao Changqing with a serious and deep gaze, waiting for his specific description.

As a last resort, Cao Changqing could only continue: "Yes-garnet." ”

Zhenwan's heart moved.

Three years ago, Cao Changqing reported meritorious service, and the saint gave him a string of precious garnet bracelets, which everyone knows.

As for why he was given garnet, everyone also knows it.

Cao Changqing has a group of wives and concubines, and there are a lot of romantic things about him among the people, but fortunately, his concubines live in harmony, and there are no rumors of chickens flying and dogs jumping on the ground.

Qin Huan frowned, he didn't hear his uncle mention this matter to himself!

But he was even more curious about what the concubine wanted garnet to do.

Regarding the role of garnet, Zhenwan was too embarrassed to ask more, so she could only change the topic.

"Cao Yushi, but when he entered the palace and met Gonggong Gao?"

Cao Changqing shook his head.

"That day, I thought that Gonggong Gao accompanied him to his sister's Xiaguang Palace. But the person who came was not Gao Gonggong, but his subordinate Chen Gonggong. When we were about to arrive at the Xiaguang Palace, we found Gao Gonggong lying on the side of the pillars of the cloister, covered in the smell of wine. ”

"The blue sky and the white sun fell on the corridor of the Xiaguang Temple? Cao Yushi doesn't think it's weird? ”

Cao Changqing nodded.

"I think it's strange even below. However, Gonggong Chen said that the day before yesterday was the day of salary, and Gonggong Gao would usually have a few drinks, maybe because the wine had not woken up yet, and he came to the Xiaguang Hall by mistake. ”

Zhenwan felt that such a reason was not sufficient, but Cao Changqing felt so, and he didn't want to say anything more.

Cao Changqing saw his doubts and continued: "Regarding Father-in-law Gao, I also asked my sister below. My sister said that Father-in-law Gao wanted to send her some Yunjin. Womanβ€”"

Zhenwan nodded tacitly, the concubines in the palace often bribed the eunuchs to leave some good things for themselves, which is understandable.

However, Yunjin is the best fabric in the palace, and Concubine Cao Shu is really generous.

Just when Gonggong Chen helped Gonggong Gao to retreat, he found a booklet left in the bushes. I originally wanted to pick it up and give it back to Grandpa Gao, but seeing that the two had already walked away, I couldn't help but take a curious look. ”

Cao Changqing picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"I don't know if I don't look at it, I don't know if I look at it - I really didn't expect ......"

Zhenwan nodded, and the origin of the booklet was figured out, and the rest was the confessions of other people.

"Thank you Cao Yushi for being honest. I'm really sorry today, so I'm sorry to come to the Criminal Department. ”

Cao Changqing waved his hand and said: "Where, where, if you can solve problems for the saint, it is what we courtiers should do." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries, Cao Changqing left the Criminal Department, and when he left, he didn't forget to say to Qin Huan: "Huan'er, you have to learn from Master Zhen." ”

"Uncle, don't worry."

Zhenwan pushed Qin Huan away, turned around and walked behind the screen.

"King Han."

Qin Shuihan's eyes were grim, he nodded and jumped out of the back window.
