Chapter 175: Confession

If the eldest prince wants to get rid of suspicion at this time, all he can do is to do nothing, only to stand outside the matter and watch this matter carefully, so as to prevent someone from stealing the day and burying the truth.

You can't rush it, and you can't try your best to pull yourself out, all his actions are easy to make people suspicious.

At the gate of the palace, the eldest prince once said a sentence, above this court, the fools were trampled under the feet of those on the stage, stepped in the dirt, and all that was left were some wise people.

Smart people are not usually reckless, so when they go to see this matter, they will not come up and point the finger at His Majesty the Emperor.

At such a time, whoever can't bear to make a fuss about this matter proves what his purpose is.

If the purpose is clear, then it can be reversed whether it is possible for him to do this.

Cui Ren sighed and continued: "The eldest prince has been guarding the East Palace for many years, this person has never taken risks, and it is impossible to do such things that are easy to fall into the trap. ”

In fact, Cui Ren didn't say this, the dead people were all former ministers when the eldest prince was the crown prince, and if the eldest prince wants to continue to stand firm in the court, he still needs to rely on these people, and it will be impossible to do such a self-destructive thing.

The woman's eyes were a little confused, and she smiled bitterly and said, "Master, why is this more and more chaotic? It wasn't done by His Majesty, and it wasn't the eldest prince, so it couldn't be the thief who was the county guard of Anjun shouting to catch the thief, right?"

Cui Ren smiled and shook his head, "He'an County is far away from the capital, and the county guard doesn't know much about the situation in the court, so naturally it is impossible for a thief to call out to catch a thief." ”

The woman was shocked, her lips trembled slightly, and she said incredulously: "It's not Your Majesty, it's not the eldest prince, is that it?"

Cui Ren put a finger between his lips and said, "Who did it has nothing to do with us, everything is up to Your Majesty." ”

The woman's face was solemn, her voice trembled a little, she was becoming more and more unable to understand what her master meant, and said: "Master, if this kind of thing happens, although my son is fine for the time being, he is not safe, how can he say that it has nothing to do with us?"

But no, the assassination of his own son, although it is said that he returned to the capital with a teenager, the implication is that he was not killed, but he also does not say that he must be safe, you must know that what is written on this letter is four days ago, and no one can know how it is today.

Cui Ren walked outside the door, looked up at the sky, put his hands behind his back, and said: "If this incident happens, Your Majesty naturally wants to give us an explanation, and the eldest prince will also keep an eye on it, so as not to let someone get in the way, and what we can do is to withdraw from this matter to avoid being too deeply implicated, as for Cui Er's safety, let's forget about it for the time being!"

This seemed to be ruthless, but the woman knew that the old man was just persuading herself, and it was useless to think about whether her son was safe here, but as a biological mother, how could she forget?

Although the woman could not forget it, she did not say it, so as not to disappoint her master's persuasion.

Suddenly I thought of something, stood up and looked at the back outside the door, and asked with some hesitation: "Master, you shouldn't have changed the court?"

Cui Ren turned his head suddenly, his eyes were full of caution and seriousness, and he said in a deep voice: "How dare you mention this kind of thing! It was originally a secret thing, if it was heard by others and moved to the surface, but it would be a capital crime to rob the house and ask for beheading! Don't you still understand the truth that the wall has ears!"

The battle for the throne is completely different from the battle for the prince, and most of the disputes for the prince have always been the emperor who sits and watches with one eye closed and even instigates his own son to fight, and as their biological father, how can they not see which two sons from the family do not deal with each other?

It's absolutely impossible, it's all from that stage, who hasn't argued?

And the emperor is different from ordinary people, most of the ordinary families are a family with an only son, and they can't afford to support more, and sometimes the prince has more even if his father gives him a name, he turns around and forgets it, and those who have friendships are often the ones who are more favored.

The emperor is not dedicated to one person, which is a taboo that is easy to be confused.

It won't be that if I love one and only love that one, make him the crown prince and push him to the throne, then he will definitely not live long.

And the more pampered is to see who can stand out from it, as long as it is not a loss of conscience, it is all up to personal means.

To make it clear, the emperor nodded, so that he could better see who was qualified to inherit the great cause.

And the best thing about the current situation is the battle for the throne, which seems to be no different from the battle for the prince.

But the difference is too big, and daring to compete with the emperor for the throne is obviously a deliberate rebellion!

It's just that no one can directly prove that someone wants to rebel, and there are too many officials involved, plus the power of the eldest prince is too heavy, it can be said that it is deeply rooted in the capital, and it is not so easy to shake.

That's why Cui Ren is so cautious about the word "change of court" in his husband's mouth.

The unification of the country, what foyer do you change?

If you are not loyal to Your Majesty, if you do not serve the country, if you change your court? What is this not a rebellion?

No matter who you want to change, the implication is that there will always be times when you want to rebel.

And the great sin in this world, as a courtier, is nothing more than disloyalty.

What kind of gluttony to eat some food on His Majesty's plate, what itchy hands to steal some money from the treasury, in the eyes of the open-minded emperor are just small things.

But these disloyal statements are also commented on by the winner, and if someone comes after him, it is also a good thing to say that the original disloyal person has the insight to not abandon him in the situation he does not expect.

However, these are all later words, and the things in the secret naturally can't be moved to the surface, let alone say it in their own mouths, and then spread out from this Imperial History Mansion, not to mention the Imperial Doctor, even if he is the prime minister of the dynasty, he can't afford such a big crime.

The woman seemed to notice what was at stake in her words, and hastened to keep silent.

Imperial Doctor Cui Ren took the letter in the other party's hand, smoothed it with his hand and repacked it and put it in the envelope, called the housekeeper, handed the letter to the other party, and said, "You send this letter to the Spirit Academy and hand it over to Mr. Ju An." ”

The butler took it with both hands, then turned to leave.

The woman was a little puzzled when she saw her master's movements, and said, "Master, this Mr. Ju'an is the gentleman of the Spirit Academy, not our son's teacher, and the Spirit Academy will not take care of this matter, right?"

Cui Ren put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and didn't seem to deny the other party's words, but said: "With this letter, Cui Er can be safe." ”

In the palace, a father-in-law stood beside the Emperor, holding a letter in both hands, and he had asked His Majesty if he could see it, but he had not been answered.

His Majesty the Emperor also did not immediately examine this letter sent from Heanjun, thousands of miles away.

After rubbing his fingers and thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly, and said to himself: "I sent this letter from He'an County, which is thousands of miles away, and it only took one day and night to speed up the way. ”

From the moment he received the invitation from that group of people to ask for help, he rode thousands of miles to Beiyang City and sent two letters, which was enough to see that everyone knew that this matter was extremely difficult for His Majesty the Emperor.

Then he casually asked, "How many people died?"

The father-in-law was slightly stunned, obviously not understanding what His Majesty meant by this, so he hurriedly knelt on his knees and said in fear: "The old slave is stupid, I don't know what Your Majesty means." ”

The emperor turned his neck, yawned and said, "Take it apart." ”

The father-in-law knelt on the ground and opened the letter, and then his hands trembled, and he was frightened by the contents of the letter, and remembered His Majesty's question, and replied: "Return, reply to Your Majesty's words, the son of Lord Tingwei, the son of the counselor, the son of the Great Si Nong, and the son of Lord Zongzheng, only this... These. ”

His Majesty frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice, "Dead so much?"

The father-in-law hurriedly corrected: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, that's all that is left of the letter. ”

The Emperor suddenly got up, kicked it over, and roared angrily: "Bastard!

The father-in-law rolled twice on the ground, and then put on the Qiaoshi crown that had fallen on the ground as quickly as possible, re-maintained a good posture of kneeling and saluting, threw himself to the ground, held up the letter with both hands, and trembled all over: "Return, back to Your Majesty's words, the letter said that Cui Xianggong, the son of the Imperial Doctor, separated from the convoy, and did not go to He'an County, but returned to the capital with a young man." ”

The Emperor sat down again, wiped the sweat that was not there on his forehead, and his tone was no longer so angry, as if it was no different from the previous moment, it was still the same emperor who had casually asked how many people had died.

The father-in-law breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and still knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, let alone speak.

The Emperor then asked, "What else is written on it?"

The father-in-law cautiously raised his head, looked carefully at the letter he was holding in both hands, for fear of missing something, and said: "Return, back to Your Majesty, as mentioned in the letter, Wang Lang, the county guard of He'an County, has sent the supervisor Wang Zhaojun to escort the test students all the way back to the capital to assist Your Majesty in investigating this matter thoroughly, so that Your Majesty should not worry." ”

The emperor raised a hand and rubbed his eyebrows lightly, his eyes closed slightly, and nodded: "Thorough investigation, must be thoroughly investigated." ”

Not long after, another father-in-law from outside the harem came, walked to the emperor's side with broken steps, and whispered: "Letter from the Imperial Spirit Division, just the Imperial Doctor..."

A smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he said to himself, "Changing the court?

The father-in-law replied with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "The old slave doesn't know." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Change the court, this means that some people are disloyal to me." Then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the top of the palace above his head, and found that he didn't seem to be looking up to the sky, and muttered, "Sooner or later, this cover will have to be removed." ”

Although the father-in-law felt that it was a little inappropriate to tear down the roof, he still asked with a sense of current affairs: "The old slave dares to ask Your Majesty, can you make arrangements?"

......

The emperor ignored him lazily, sat on the dragon chair, and said to himself: "Went to the Spirit Academy? Sure enough, it's an old fox, Cui Ren is making a move for the people behind the scenes." ”

Standing up and looking outside the hall, he said to himself: "They all want to explain, then I will give them an explanation." ”
