Chapter 50 The Six Princes Investigate the Case, and Lord Zhao Hides the Evidence

"Grandpa Pei, who is standing outside?"

After the emperor finished approving the folds in his hand, he looked up and saw the figure reflected on the door and window. Pei Gonggong said softly while cleaning up the piles of folds.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are six princes outside, and the old slave is preparing to report to you. ”

"Oh, I'm here, she'...... here."

"Yes, Your Majesty, can you let the Six Princes in?"

"Well, you let her in! I have something to say to her. ”

With the emperor's consent, Gonggong Pei opened the door and invited Li Sishen in. After Li Sishen entered the room, Father-in-law Pei bowed to her slightly, gently closed the door and exited the room.

"There's no one else here, just our father and daughter. Child, do you know why Dong Shangshu is so difficult to deal with?"

"Erchen understands what his father means, but I am too reckless. ”

"Men, learn to grow wise, and learn to rise up from where you fall. Now that I've fallen, I know it hurts. By now, you should understand how difficult the opponent is standing in front of you. ”

When Li Sishen heard his father's words, he also reflected on his negligence. The court is like a battlefield, although she can't see the smoke of gunpowder, but in fact, the waves are surging, and if she is not careful, she will suffer a loss like before.

She replied to the emperor that she would always keep it in mind and try to avoid such things from happening, and the emperor also said earnestly after hearing it.

"It's easy to block open guns and it's hard to guard against hidden arrows, even if you take precautions, you can't prevent those people's plots. Speaking of which, the emperor instructed Gonggong Pei outside the door to call Chu Boyi.

Gonggong Pei arrived at Chu Mansion and met Mrs. Guicheng, who had just gone out. Mrs. Guicheng saw Gonggong Pei coming from the emperor's side, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Oh! It turned out to be Gonggong Pei! It's really a disappointment, Mrs. Ben didn't know that Gonggong Pei would come to the house. Mrs. Guicheng greeted Father-in-law Pei and instructed the maids around her to prepare tea for reception.

"Mrs. Chu is polite, and the miscellaneous family also came to the door temporarily at the request of His Majesty, without informing Mrs. in advance. Mrs. Chu, don't take it to heart, Your Majesty will not blame you. ”

"Gonggong Pei is right, Your Majesty will not worry about the women because of this little thing. Speaking of which, why is Grandpa Pei here today?"

Mrs. Guicheng temporarily canceled her plan to go out and stayed in the house to chat with Grandpa Pei.

"It's nothing important, it's that Your Majesty invited Prince Chu into the palace. ”

"Oh, that's what you say...... Gonggong Pei sat here for a while, and Mrs. Ben called him. With that, Mrs. Guicheng got up from her chair and walked to the backyard. It didn't take long to see Chu Boyi following behind his mother.

"Young Master Chu, our family is looking for you today, not for anything else, just because the emperor invited you to the palace. ”

When Chu Boyi heard Pei's words, he immediately agreed, and followed him to say goodbye to his mother and leave the General's Mansion.

"Madam, what is the matter with Your Majesty Zhao Gongzi?"

"It's you!hawkeye...... I haven't seen you in a while. ”

After seeing Chu Boyi leave with Gonggong Pei, the Dark Guard Eagle walked out from behind the screen embroidered with landscape paintings.

"The subordinate made the lady worried......"

"It's good that you're okay! I thought that since Lord Han was imprisoned, he would lose contact with you. ”

"Madame, rest assured, her subordinates will definitely protect Lord Han in secret. Of course, Madame is useful, and her subordinates will help. ”

"Hawkeye, thank you for taking care of Lord Han. What you just asked...... His Majesty didn't explain anything when he came to Bo Yi, but just asked him to follow Gonggong Pei into the palace. ”

"Enter the palace ......"

"Yes, I guess you also know that not long ago, the six princes were imprisoned and just released, and at this time, Your Majesty wants Bo Yi to enter the palace...... Mrs. Ben thinks it's not because of the Six Princes?"

"It is possible that the six princes first set foot in the court, and the foundation was unstable and was preemptively calculated by the officials of the Dong faction. His Majesty is worried about the safety of the six princes, so he will find Prince Chu. ”

"Eagle Eye, maybe you are right in your analysis......" This trip into the palace is related to the next actions of the six princes in the court.

Chu Boyi came to the emperor, and the emperor said to him that from now on, the safety of the six princes will be handed over to you, Prince Chu. After hearing this, Chu Boyi hurriedly bowed his head and promised, saying that he would definitely live up to His Majesty's trust and take strict precautions at all times. The emperor looked at Chu Boyi with a serious expression, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Young Master Chu doesn't have to be so nervous, those people can't always keep an eye on the sixth prince making mistakes, what you have to do is to help her in time when she is in danger......" After Chu Boyi heard it, he responded.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Father, the son wants to start with the old man's land requisition and search for the evidence of the Dong faction's officials. ”

When the Emperor heard this, he pondered for a long time before he spoke.

"Aren't you afraid of being imprisoned again?"

Li Sishen's eyes were like torches, and he looked at him firmly.

"Erchen is not afraid, even if he is imprisoned again, he still has to investigate, and these moths cannot be allowed to continue to do evil. ”

"Okay, then from now on, Prince Chu will protect the six princes. Son, just let go and do it boldly!"

"Yes!" Li Sishen and Chu Boyi said in unison, when Li Sishen walked out of the palace, Chu Boyi followed behind her, looking at Li Sishen's tall back, and set off a ripple in his heart. Those words that I just said in front of Your Majesty...... Anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, who dares to provoke Li Sishen so unsightly, don't blame him Chu Boyi for being ruthless.

Lord Zhao received a note from the secret guard saying that the six princes were going to investigate the forced land expropriation of the farmer's uncle, and when he learned the news, he burned the note. Suddenly, I heard a servant's voice outside the door, saying that Dong Shangshu was coming to visit. When Lord Zhao heard the news, he hurriedly threw away the note in his hand, and the candle flame burned the last piece of paper.

"Lord Zhao, this official is here today to tell you that His Majesty has sent the Six Princes to take full charge of the land expropriation of that old man. Dispose of all the ledgers and other things that you can burn, don't let the Six Princes catch the handle. ”

"Hehe, my lord, the sixth prince has just been released and wants to investigate the case again...... Is it because you haven't been locked up enough by Your Majesty?"

"Presumptuous, Lord Zhao, can you say this kind of thing casually? ”

Dong Shangshu reminded Lord Zhao not to leave a handle in doing things, even if he was to eliminate it quickly. But this time, Lord Zhao didn't listen to Dong Shangshu's advice, and just hid the account book in his hand. Looking back on this scene afterwards, Lord Zhao regretted the decision he made at that time.
