Volume 1 Troubled Boys Section 236 Divine Decree Investigation

Lin'an Mansion Yin stood in front of the imperial steps outside the tall palace, his eyes were firmly fixed on the door in front of him, and outside the door was the royal forest army, solemn and meticulous.

In fact, an official position like him usually rarely has the opportunity to stand in this place, but today is different, because a major event happened outside the southern city of Lin'an Mansion.

Nancheng, a name that has long been forgotten by everyone, appeared in front of everyone again, not only the folk rumors were boiling, but the same case file was also placed in front of the emperor's imperial case.

Behind that door is one of the deepest places in the world, and after waiting for almost an hour, Yin Wen Chongzhi of Lin'an Mansion did not take a step in, not because he didn't want to, but because he was not qualified enough.

A "bang" came out, and even a person like Wen Chongzhi who was more stable couldn't help but be taken aback, and then someone seemed to kneel on the ground and shout "Long live".

It seems that the emperor is surprised to hear that such a big event is inevitable to be angry, he sighed a long time, and still stood there in a proper manner, this was within the scope of his duties, but the matter was too big, so he immediately went to the palace gate to ask for an order after understanding the situation a little, but according to the rules of the imperial court, he couldn't enter the palace door with a small mansion, or Qin Xiangguo, who rushed to the palace, brought him here.

Wen Chongzhi has been waiting here, Qin Xiangguo went to the palace to report the matter, and then the will came out from inside, and several people were announced one after another, in addition to several adults in charge of the prison such as Dali Siqing and Shangshu of the Criminal Department, there were two young people, who looked like they were just teenagers, although he had not seen them, but they could also guess from the appearance that these two people were not idle.

He touched his beard slightly, and his mind turned around many times, and finally he really remembered two names.

Zhao Xuan...... Zhao Ming"

One is white and fat, rich and cute, and the other is tall and thin, steady and silent.

Although Wen Chongzhi usually can't go up the imperial ranks, he is not unfamiliar with the names of these two people.

Zhao Xuan, originally the son of Bingyilang Zhao Ziyan, was admitted to the palace at the age of seven, raised by Queen Wu, and is now twelve years old, Queen Wu and the emperor have no heirs, so they love it, this child is extremely cute, usually even the emperor is very like, not only often accompanyed, but also often taught in person.

The court knows that the current emperor once had a son, and later died in the "Miao Liu Coup", which also became a pain in his life with the queen, until he grew older, he also lost the idea of having a child, and the position of the prince has been vacant, so Zhao Xuan, who was raised by his side, began to be watched by the ministers.

The position of the prince, although it is a royal family matter, has been a major event in the court since ancient times, and it is also the most likely to affect the imperial power and the pattern of the world, but the emperor has never said it explicitly, let alone hinted, and this kind of thing has always been the biggest taboo, naturally no one dares to touch it easily, and a mistake in a word can lose wealth and wealth, and it can also be a head.

Originally, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that Zhao Xuan, who was quite favored, was the future candidate for the prince, but at this time, another person suddenly returned to Lin'an, that is, Zhao Ying, who fled all the way back from the north.

Zhao Ying into Lin'an, this road is not easy, the current emperor Zhao Gou knew that after touching the scene, remembering the scene of his own escape when the city was broken, he couldn't help but burst into tears, so he personally went to the city gate to meet Zhao Ming, the two hugged each other and cried, the scene was once moving.

Zhao Ying and Zhao Xuan are both the seventh grandsons of Emperor Taizu, one is raised by the emperor's side, the other has a tortuous life experience, and after many hardships, the emperor Zhao Gou will take both of them by his side, and there is no difference between entry and exit and reward.

Since then, there have been different voices about the position of the prince, which can be roughly divided into two factions, one still supports Zhao Xuan, mainly composed of Chinese officials of the dynasty, including Wang Boyan, who is now trusted by the emperor and the former prime minister.

The other faction is to support Zhao Xuan, Zhao Ying has gone through hardships, developed a calm and calm character, compared to Zhao Xuan is more mature and wise, more aware of the world's suffering, now it is the time of the Great Song Dynasty, the monarch mainly bears the responsibility of rejuvenation, so the military generals led by Han Shizhong in the DPRK and Zhao Ying should be the prince.

The two factions naturally fought openly and secretly, but I don't know why, the emperor Zhao Gou turned a blind eye to this, as if he didn't know at all, everything was as usual, nothing changed.

The matter of the prince is very important, and the slightest carelessness will lose his life, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable, so the Qin Xiangfu, which is trusted by the deepest emperor, has become a place where the ministers scramble, but Qin Xiang has always remained silent, and treated the ministers who came to visit him with courtesy at first, and then completely closed the door to thank the guests, obviously unwilling to be involved.

Wen Chongzhi looked at the door, counting everyone who entered the door, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

He smiled strangely, and the guards in front of the door were confused by his smile, but his heart was very clear.

"It seems that I don't have to worry about this case anymore......" he thought silently to himself.

"The art of the emperor is really unexpected......"

Such a horrific case of murder and beheading occurred in Nancheng, and the court was furious, and even the emperor, who had a gentle attitude, was angry and angry.

Now the most important thing is to elect a person in charge of the case, the DPRK and China debated endlessly, some people proposed that Nancheng was originally under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Prefecture, and Lin'an Mansion Yin should be in charge of the case, but it was quickly denied, after all, this case is important, and Lin'an Mansion Yin's official position is too small, it must not be weighty.

The Criminal Department and Dali Temple are also controversial, and finally someone proposed that a royal descendant should take charge of the case, this statement came out, each has a recommendation, because many people understand the meaning, once there can be a royal person to find out the case, it must be deeply valued by the emperor, and it can be regarded as a credit to the world.

It's just that now there is more than one candidate, Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ying are both suitable candidates, so there will be more arguments, until later the emperor summoned two descendants of the Zhao family, who are regarded as the heirs to the throne by many ministers, but I didn't expect the two to be surprisingly humble, and the emperor's heart was uncertain, and the left and right were not biased.

Until the afternoon, everyone left, the old eunuch around the emperor read out the holy decree, for the sudden tragedy in the southern city, by the prime minister of the dynasty as the director, with Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ying as the deputy director, you can mobilize the Lin'an Mansion, Dali Temple and other officials, guards and soldiers, must find out the truth within seven days, in order to comfort the people who died in the tragedy.

Zhao Ying walked out of the main hall and came to the mansion of the great general Han Shizhong in the evening, he came to Lin'an for too short a time, and there were not many people who could rely on him.

When Zhao Ying walked into the door, Han Shizhong, Luo Bei, and Yu Han were all standing inside the door waiting for him.

"Uncle Han......" Zhao Ying smiled and bowed, not showing arrogance as a descendant of the royal family, but extremely humble and polite.

"Yu'er, come into the house with me and talk in detail...... Han Shizhong strode over and hugged Zhao Ying, as if he had seen a dear junior who had not seen him for a long time.

"The old man won't talk about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister!"

Seeing that Yu Han was slightly surprised, Han Shizhong laughed and said, this is also an agreement that Zhao Ying had agreed with him a long time ago

Okay.

As a few people walked inside, Zhao Ying asked, "Are you used to living in Uncle Han's mansion?"

Without waiting for Luo Bei to answer, Yu Han first said: "The two of us are okay, only the little monk...... It's a very habitual ......."

At this time, I saw that the little monk had been holding the crispy meatloaf in his hand, and he was staggering out with a large teacup in the other hand, and he was very happy to eat a mouthful of meatloaf and a mouthful of tea.

Han Shizhong opened his mouth and laughed as soon as he saw the killing: "Haha, this little master you brought is really different, not to mention meat, but more importantly, temperament...... Hehe, it's very similar to the old man when he was young, I like it very much......"

"According to what killing said, after the tribulation, you should give yourself some compensation, and his compensation is to eat and drink enough and enjoy life!" Yu Han also laughed and said.

A few people laughed while coming to the hall, someone had already prepared refreshments, Han Shizhong's mansion was given by the emperor today, so even if it was not luxurious, but it was not bad, but after entering the door, I didn't see a few villains, stewards and the like, Luo Bei remembered that when he was in Wanruhai in Zhuxian Town, a famous doctor's mansion was what it looked like, and people and stewards could be seen everywhere, and a general's house in Sheji seemed a little deserted.

"This Nancheng tragedy happened so bizarrely, what kind of person would do such a thing?" Han Shizhong said impatiently as soon as he sat down.

"This is also where the emperor is angry, although Nancheng is getting farther and farther away from Lin'an, but after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which is why the Holy Decree wants us to solve the case in seven days!" Zhao Ying said.

Yu Han kept rubbing his fingers, and when he saw Han Shizhong and Zhao Ying both looking at him at the same time, he smiled apologetically.

"Seven days is not a lot of time, the most important thing is that we still don't know anything about the case, this time the emperor's holy decree ordered His Royal Highness and Zhao Xuan to be the deputy director, although it seems fair, but everyone knows that more than half of the courtiers in the court are supporting Zhao Xuan together with the former prime minister Wang Boyan, but the attitude of Lord Qin is still not clear, and it is very unfavorable to us in this situation!" Yu Han said the current situation in a few words, even Han Shizhong had to admire this young man, but he was really thoughtful and astute.

Zhao Ying just smiled, shook his head, and said: "I know the meaning of Yu Gongzi's words, but for me, it is more important to find out the truth of the case and let the wicked be brought to justice than others......

Yu Han suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "Your Highness really lives up to expectations, when there is a lack of a person like Your Highness who dares to be the master of the people, in this case, we will do our best to help Your Highness find out the facts of the case......"

As he spoke, he looked at Luo Bei, as if he was waiting for Luo Bei's answer.

Luo Bei could only scratch his head, if he wanted to say that he could do some hard work or something, he had never been good at investigating cases, at this time he remembered a person, but unfortunately he had never seen it since Zhu Xianzhen said goodbye.

"I ...... If there's anything I need, just say it, but it's just this investigation...... I'm really not good at it......" Luo Bei was a little overwhelmed by Yu Han's gaze for a while.

"Luobei, don't be modest, I know that your martial arts are not weak, this matter really can't be done without you, you should be almost recovered after drinking the antidote of the fairy soup at this time, right?

......
