The reborn sycophant

"Besides, all your highnesses used hard bows that day and did not bring crossbows. The arrow that was shot that day was extremely powerful and fast. Before it hit the noble concubine, because of the dense forest, it brushed against a green bamboo plant and was shot again. He bumped into a guard, and he was able to shoot the noble concubine seriously. Not to mention the three-stone bow that His Highness the Eleventh brought that day, even the five-stone bow could not do this. It could only be a crossbow, so it can be ruled out that it was the eleven The arrow fired by His Highness."

"Therefore, the assassin should be someone else. Therefore, we checked the ministers who were hunting in Beilin that day, but the arrows they used were different from the assassins, and they all used bows and arrows. Only General Zuo Yihuan carried a crossbow. We also Watching him."

Having said that, Qian Xiao hesitated, hesitant to speak.

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes, and said lightly: "Just say what you have, he is not like my Habayashi Army commander."

"Later, I followed the oracle to spy on His Highness Second and His Highness Seventh, but there were no clues a few days ago, but His Highness Seventh left the mansion yesterday, secretly went to a farm in the suburbs, and stayed for two quarters of an hour before leaving. We sent people in to investigate and found a young woman imprisoned in the farm. That person had been tortured and was very stubborn. The people of His Royal Highness should have given her medicine, and they may have obtained some useful information. Our people I didn't dare to stay longer, I just watched nearby. Your Majesty, I suspect that the woman is the assassin of that day."

"Oh? You mean, Jie'er caught the assassin but didn't report it?"

The sun fell on the head of the golden dragon on the emperor's chest, making it even more majestic and solemn. He straightened up a little bit, pointed his finger on the imperial case, and asked suddenly: "The person in charge of the spring search treasury is Xiao Qi. Bar?"

Qian Xiao gave an affirmative answer, and then he saw the emperor smile with his mouth open, but he felt a chill in his heart.

"Continue to monitor. Even if he is not the master of the assassin, he is also charged with lax supervision. Oh, and now there is an additional crime of concealment. Good, good, good."

Saying the word "good" three times in a row, what is hidden in it is exactly the opposite meaning.Zhao Yu hammered on the table with one hand, and the veins on his forehead twitched. When the emperor was furious, Qian Xiao immediately knelt on the ground, groaning inwardly.Then he heard the emperor squeeze out the words one by one from between his teeth: "Qian Xiao! You go to the warehouse this time, and focus on checking the relevant personnel to see whether it is the warehouse that was guarded and stolen, or someone with all-hands-eyes, Lian Chunsou's warehouse. dare to steal."

He asked Qian Xiao to retreat, and a little eunuch came to close the door of the imperial study room. Then, the emperor leaned back on the dragon chair, his chest heaved violently for a long while, and finally spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.

On this end, Qian Xiao came out from the imperial study and went down the jade steps. On the way, he met Jiang Cheng, the servant of the Central Committee. He knew in his heart that His Majesty is suspicious by nature and likes to do things in a two-pronged manner. He must have secretly sent Jiang Cheng to investigate .He exchanged a few words with the person, secretly chewing on the things he had investigated in the past few days, the back of his hands trembling slightly.

There are too many things involved, too many.

After this case is solved, maybe the ever-changing white clouds in the sky will set the tone.

Some will be stripped of their finery, others will be crowned.

His back was slightly bent by some invisible force, and Qian Xiao was a little out of breath. He wiped off the sweat that didn't exist, and walked out of Miyagi quickly.He knows very well that, to some extent, what he is investigating now will determine the direction of this dynasty for the next 50 years.

Not knowing that his actions had fallen into the eyes of the emperor, the Seventh Prince's Mansion was digesting the news he had received in the other courtyard, and the Seventh Prince Zhao Jie was very excited.

Then he was poured a basin of cold water.

"Although the assassin is a member of His Highness the Second Highness, it is His Highness the Eleventh who is imprisoned now. According to my concubine, you might as well not report it secretly, but keep this assassin. Once you catch this assassin, it is equivalent to You have grasped the lifeblood of the second emperor, you can reverse the case at any time in the future, there is no need to rush to deal with the second emperor, but focus on knocking down the eleventh highness first."

Standing up from the luxurious mahogany chair, Princess Wu Liuer wiped Zhao Jie's sweat while analyzing the situation with him.Zhao Jie knew that his strategy was not enough, so he listened to Wang Hao's words very much, but this time he did not agree immediately, but hesitantly said: "But the opportunity to bring down Zhao Chen is at hand. It's not easy to get a chance. I don't want to see her fake face again."

"My lord, don't be in a hurry. It's the most advantageous way for the concubine to say so. Think about it, who is the most favored in the harem now?"

"Of course it's Concubine Wan Gui."

"If you reverse the case for His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince, then Concubine Wan Gui will be the first to be responsible for saving him, and His Royal Highness the Eleventh will be wronged later. After this incident, His Majesty will only love the concubine, mother and daughter even more. In this way, that position should fall. In whose hands will it go?"

"No, I'm older than Eleven, and it should be Zhao Chen who is more threatening to me now!"

"Qiye, don't you forget that none of the emperor's sons today has the title of 'di'. The eldest prince used to have the word 'long' anyway, but now he has been abolished, and even the name of 'long' 'This word is open to discussion. If His Majesty has always favored Her Majesty the Eleventh, there will be no obstacle at all to appoint her as the heir."

After being pointed out by the princess, Zhao Jie woke up like a dream. Seeing that he understood, the princess couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she pulled him to sit down in the main hall, and said gently: "Besides, if you expose the Second Highness, you will only be able to clean up one It's just an obstacle, father is a person who attaches great importance to children, your eldest brother made such a big mistake before, and now he is living a very good life. I guess, even if Zhao Chen was convicted of this incident, because she did not hurt His Majesty , did not kill the imperial concubine, about the same fate as the former prince. But... what if Zhao Ji bears this crime for her?"

Zhao Jie received her gaze, and immediately opened his eyes wide: "You mean?"

"That's right, even if the noble concubine was successful in saving her, assassinating the emperor is a serious crime, and it certainly cannot be offset by merit and demerit. Therefore, Zhao Ji will suffer a lot, and at the very least, he will be imprisoned. We will send someone when she is silent. People pretending to be Zhao Chen go and kill her, kill her, and then lead to this 'assassination case', then it will be true to kill two birds with one stone, once and for all!"

While speaking softly and weakly, her eyes glowed with a poisonous light that did not match weak and weak. Wu Liuer sighed slightly in her heart when she saw Zhao Jie's moved expression.

She was full of strategies, but she married this idiot prince.If she could get married with Zhao Chen, or simply be born a few years later and marry the Eleventh Highness who has been inlaid with gold and jade since birth, she would not have to work so hard now.

Fortunately, now that she had a golden opportunity, her heart that had been silent for a long time seemed to have tasted the sweet rain again, and began to beat lively.

When Zhao Jie brings down Er Er and Eleven, even if he is an idiot prince, so what?Does Your Majesty have any other candidates?

What's more, apart from Zhao Jie's simple mind, in other respects, he can barely reach the side of the king of God.After all, he is also a genuine son and grandson.

"I'm going to send someone to arrange it right away. I heard that the people from Dali Temple have tried twice, but they still haven't found anything. It's obviously useless. Those people have a lot of tricks, and Eleven is a baby boy. Isn’t it a clear dereliction of duty if nothing can be judged like this!”

What he said was just and strict, but he knew in his heart that the reason why the people in Dali Temple couldn't judge anything was because the assassin was not sent by Zhao Ji at all, but what he has to do now is to push this pot firmly Put it on Zhao Ji's head.

"No hurry, why are we in a hurry? Shouldn't the one who is in a hurry to convict His Highness the Eleventh be the real murderer? Just relax, don't do anything, just wait, someone will lose their temper."

Zhao Jie therefore sat down again, thinking about what was about to happen, smiled a few times with the corners of his mouth cracked, and hugged the princess in his arms...

Two quiet nights followed.It's strange that the empress's imprisonment, such a big event, didn't cause a bigger splash in the court later.Maybe because the imperial concubine was unconscious and the future was unpredictable, the ministers who were more close to the imperial concubine Wan Guifei on weekdays were unanimously silent, did not intercede for Zhao Ji, and did not add another fire to the burning stove.Wei Chuyan seemed very busy, she was "busy" running around, lobbying those ministers to intercede for His Royal Highness the Eleventh, such actions fell into the eyes of the emperor, and at the same time she felt that she was full of enthusiasm, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the child. Loyalty is appreciated.

At the same time, it also aggravated the impression that "Ji'er is innocent".

Therefore, there have been ministers speaking for His Royal Highness, but this voice is very weak, and it is often suppressed by some impassioned courtiers as soon as it emerges. Most of the officials in the court advocate hearing the case as soon as possible. Some neutrals suggested that a thorough investigation is needed. The emperor sat on a high dragon chair every day, observing all this condescendingly. Under his calm eyes, his heart beat more and more impatiently.

He gradually saw clearly that many forces had quietly infiltrated the seemingly clean court in the past, some belonged to the second son, some belonged to the seventh, and even the eldest still had some power left.

The emperor's family is ruthless, and Zhao Yu came here in the same way back then, but it doesn't mean that he can tolerate his children challenging his authority so wantonly.

Although the lion is old, he is not dead, and what he hates most is that the young lion has stretched his claws on his prey.

His things can be given by him on his own initiative, but others can't fight for them, especially when these people are fighting for them, they have to tear off pieces of flesh and blood from their brothers and sisters by the way.
