I have a role in the heavens

The emperor is not hungry? Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at Wei Yuan who was protecting his calf, took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and spoke again.

"Xu Qi'an, Si Tianjian has as many prescriptions as you need to nourish your mind. Lingbao Temple also has no shortage of miraculous elixirs. If you feel unwell, I can reward you with a few elixirs. I will keep your contribution in Yunzhou in mind and intend to seal it. As a Viscount, the Emperor's kindness is immense, so please don't let me down for all my hard work."

In the final analysis, Xu Qian was just a small person, not worthy of Emperor Yuan Jing's deliberate difficulty. The cabinet proposed to revoke the title, and Emperor Yuan Jing followed suit. But now we have to use Xu Qi'an, and Emperor Yuan Jing doesn't mind giving him some benefits. But he felt very unhappy, knowing that he had been tricked.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and will be the emperor for eternity."

Xu Qi'an got an advantage and gave it up as soon as it was good. He immediately bowed and shouted loudly.

"Flattery!"

Xu Zisheng muttered something. In the quiet environment, it was so abrupt that Emperor Yuan Jing almost couldn't breathe. Sure enough, Xu Zisheng and Xu Qi'an were equally annoying and not likable.

Emperor Yuan Jing didn't want to pay attention to Xu Zisheng. There was nothing he could do to him anyway, so he turned a deaf ear and spoke to Xu Qi'an majestically.

"I want to get the truth about the case as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an was secretly stunned. This chosen son was indeed terrifying. He actually dared to ridicule Emperor Yuan Jing in front of the civil and military officials of the court. This was a big thick leg. I wonder if Xu's father still lacked a son. He wanted to hug his thigh.

"I worked hard at my humble position and died."

"Back off."

Concubine Fu's body was stored in the ice cellar of the palace. Judging from the attitude of Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty, it would be difficult for Concubine Fu to be buried unless the case was investigated.

Holding the gold medal, Xu Qian came to the ice cellar under the leadership of the young eunuch in the palace. The eunuch on duty led a few people in.

In the cold ice cellar, Concubine Fu was covered with a white cloth and lying quietly on the wooden board.

Xu Qian ordered the young eunuch to remove the white cloth and carefully looked at Concubine Fu's body.

"Master Xu, please take a look."

The young eunuch opened the white cloth, not daring to look at Concubine Fu's body, and stepped aside.

Xu Qian walked to the body and looked at the concubine who had suffered an accident. This is a beautiful woman. Although her appearance is marred by her pale face, her facial features are quite gorgeous. She is wearing a white singlet and has a bulging figure.

Xu Qian reached out to untie Fu Fei's clothes, but was stopped by the young eunuch, who shook his head in horror and stopped her.

"Master Xu, you must not do this!"

Concubine Fu is the concubine of Emperor Yuan Jing. Even if she is dead, she cannot be desecrated by other men. Xu Qi'an knew this and looked at the eunuch guarding the ice cellar and ordered.

"Show me the autopsy examination and file."

The eunuch left immediately, but after a moment, he took the grid and handed it to Xu Qian.

"There were no signs of rape. There were bruises on the wrists and arms. The clothes were disheveled at the time of death, and there were signs of being torn apart by violence. The hair was messy at the time of death, which is consistent with the characteristics of resistance to violence. The rape was attempted, and he fell to his death!"

Xu Qian made a preliminary judgment based on the autopsy examination. Continuing to look down, an inconspicuous record caught his attention. He died with his face facing the sky!

"Hmm? Die with your face facing the sky?"

Generally speaking, when people commit suicide by jumping off a building, they face the ground and jump. Those people in TV dramas who face the crowd and jump backwards in a flashy way are actually not that common. Therefore, when a person who falls from a building dies, his back is turned to the sky and his face is turned to the ground.

Of course, if it is a high-rise building, the human body will flip over due to the influence of air resistance and wind during the fall. But the attic where Concubine Fu fell was, according to the records, two and a half stories high. So what was her posture when she jumped, and what was her posture when she fell to the ground? Could it be that she was pushed down by the prince?

This was inconsistent with the judgment that Concubine Fu did not want to be humiliated and jumped to her death. Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an once again extended his magic hand to Concubine Fu's body.

"Master Xu!"

The young eunuch stopped him again, warning with a bit of chill on his face.

"Do not disturb Concubine Fu's body."

This is His Majesty's woman. Even if she dies, her body cannot be desecrated by the ministers.

"Fuck you."

Xu Qian was not a good-tempered person, so he kicked the young eunuch away and cursed.

"I have been ordered to investigate the case. I am not allowed to touch this, and I am not allowed to touch that. Just tell me what you are doing."

It is Xu Qi'an's most basic quality to talk nonsense. After all, some of his words are not very elegant. How could he, who claims to be a romantic and talented man, be so vulgar? As for hitting people, even a gentleman can't help it sometimes.

The young eunuch received a kick from Xu Qian, and immediately he didn't dare to say a word and stayed aside in fear.

Xu Qian held up the back of Concubine Fu's neck and touched the back of her head. He moved his hands all the way down, from the shoulders to the back and then to the buttocks. Because this area was too plump, he had to massage it a few times in order to feel the bones. Hey, it's definitely not that he's lustful, it's just necessary to investigate the case.

According to the structure of the human body, when you fall on your back, the first things that come into contact with the ground are the head and shoulder blades, and then the most protruding buttocks. After all, she was the emperor's woman and could not take off her clothes. Xu Qi'an could not check whether the flesh and blood of the buttocks was damaged and could only confirm it by touching it.

"He did fall on his back!"

Xu Qian's confirmation was completed, which ruled out the possibility that someone had manipulated her body to disguise the scene after Concubine Fu's death.

Xu Qi'an cleaned his hands under the eunuch's service, and then left the ice cellar with the clues he found.

Shenshi quarter, that is, a quarter past three in the afternoon. According to the Dafeng system, after the spring equinox, the off-peak time is Shenshizheng. After the autumnal equinox, the dispersion time is at the beginning of Shen Shi. Although the spring festival has passed, the vernal equinox has not yet arrived, so it is still the beginning of the season. And now, a quarter of an hour has passed since I got off work.

Emperor Yuan Jing did not give Xu Qi'an overtime wages. After get off work, he waved goodbye to the palace. In order to thank Xu Zisheng, he made an appointment to go to the Jiaofang Division together, so he could not delay.

Three days later, Emperor Yuan Jing suddenly held a court meeting, which surprised countless civil and military ministers. The court meeting was not held every day. Generally speaking, a diligent king would hold a court meeting once every three days. The time is fixed.

For a king who is lazy in his administration, it will be done once every five to ten days. When I arrived at Emperor Yuan Jing's place, I basically didn't go to the morning court. When I was in a good mood and felt that I needed to take care of government affairs, I would send someone to inform the officials one day in advance.

Just like today, an impromptu meeting means something big has happened. At the beginning of the morning, the side door of the Meridian Gate slowly opened, and the old eunuch walked to the door and shouted loudly.

"Go to court!"

All the civil and military officials entered the side door in an orderly manner, with civilian officials on the left and military attachés on the right. After entering the Meridian Gate, those with grades four and above entered the palace, those with grades below four went to the entrance of the palace, and those below six ranked in the square. After entering the main hall and waiting for a quarter of an hour, Emperor Yuan Jing arrived late.

A cluster of eyes fell on the Dao Lord Emperor, trying to get a clue from his eyes and expressions.

But none of them failed. Emperor Yuan Jing reigned for thirty-seven years. He was so scheming and experienced that there were very few people in the temple who could compete with him.

In addition to Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu, there is now another Xu Zisheng. This court meeting is no different from the past, and the monarch and his ministers are communicating as usual.

"Your Majesty, tens of thousands of people froze to death in Chuzhou in the middle of winter. The Chief Envoy has already requested money and food to help the victims. I sincerely ask Your Majesty to draft a decree and ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds!"

“The national treasury is empty, and for disaster relief, you can raise donations from the local squires!

"Your Majesty, the northern barbarians have repeatedly invaded the border. After the beginning of spring, the border conflicts have become more and more intense. We must guard against them."

The court meeting gradually came to an end. After the backlog of government affairs during this period was dealt with and the officials stopped presenting, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty raised his index finger and tapped the table. The old eunuch in a python robe came out and looked around the officials.

"coming!"

The hearts of all the princes in the palace were moved, and they all cheered up. Even Xu Zisheng, who was sleeping against the pillar with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and paid attention to the old eunuch.

Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty suddenly convened a court meeting, definitely not to deal with the backlog of trivial government affairs. The old eunuch unfolded the edict in his hand and read it loudly.

"I have found out the whole story of Concubine Fu's case. Empress Shangguan ordered the palace maid Huang Xiaorou to kill Concubine Fu and frame the prince. After I questioned her in every possible way, Shangguan confessed to her crime. The queen is out of order, her morality is not worthy of her position, and she cannot inherit the destiny. On the imperial seal, I will retire to Changchun Palace."

Changchun Palace is a cold palace. There is deathly silence inside and outside the palace. From the first-rank Sangong to the ministers outside the palace, everyone who heard the content of the edict was stunned.

In the silence, a deep voice sounded, it was from Wei Yuan. His face was calm and he stared at Emperor Yuan Jing with great determination.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable."

Emperor Yuan Jing squinted his eyes and looked expressionlessly at Wei Yuan, who was coming out of the queue. His temples were gray and the vicissitudes of time were reflected in his eyes, and he looked directly at Emperor Yuan Jing.

I don't know how long it took, but the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple came out at the same time. They did not agree with Emperor Yuan Jing's will and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Fu's case has not been heard by the three courts and cannot be easily concluded."

Emperor Yuan Jing's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold. He looked at the three ministers and spoke word by word.

"This is my family matter."

The new Minister of Rites was from Wei Yuan. When he saw this, he rushed out and bowed loudly.

"Your Majesty, the abolition of the queen is also a national matter and should not be taken lightly!"

Although the edict stated that the queen had confessed her crime. But the abolition of the empress was of great importance, and the ministers would not agree to Emperor Yuan Jing's abolition of the empress without knowing the situation.

Xu Zisheng glanced at Emperor Yuan Jing and Wei Yuan who were looking at each other, with the fire of gossip burning in his heart. He remembered that there was an unusual relationship between Wei Yuan and the Queen, and he had long wanted to know more about it, but it was so secret that it seemed impossible. People know it, so they give up.

I saw Wei Yuan so excited today. He risked contradicting Emperor Yuan Jing and opposed the abolition of the empress. It was obvious that he and the empress had an unbearable past. The eunuch who lost a good wife and the empress who was ignored by the emperor felt so excited. .

"Your Majesty, the emperor has no selfish things."

"The case of Concubine Fu should be handed over to the Third Division for review before a decision is made. If His Majesty wants to depose the Queen, it cannot be decided with just one word!"

Under the gaze of Emperor Yuan Jing who wanted to eat people, Xu Zisheng said without fear, full of persistence and toughness, unwilling to give in.

"Can!"

Emperor Yuan Jing withdrew his gaze and pondered for a moment. Seeing the uproar among the civil and military officials in the dynasty, he did not want Qiankun to be arbitrary, so he had no choice but to agree to this suggestion.

After Emperor Yuan Jing wanted to be deposed, the three divisions and the princes disagreed. This was the first time that Xu Zisheng and the ministers in the court reached a consensus.

There were only three reasons why the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty opposed the abolition of the queen. First, the abolition of the queen was of great importance and the process had to be followed and should not be taken lightly. The second is that they hate such sudden incidents, which will make them feel that they do not have enough control over the court. Third, they need time to figure out what to do after the abolition.

As for Xu Zisheng, he didn’t have so many ideas. He knew the truth about the Fu Fei case. The culprit behind the scenes was not the queen, but Chen Guifei who directed and acted. He did not hesitate to use his own son, the prince, to frame the queen, so he could not allow it. After being abolished.

The next day, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty held another court meeting. Under the hazy sky, all the civil and military officials entered the Meridian Gate in an orderly manner. Some stayed in the square outside the Jinluan Hall, and some stood on the white marble steps outside the Jinluan Hall. Only a very small number of people enter the main hall. These people are the real powerful people who control the court and are the ones who dominate the fate of the country.

After the ministers entered the palace, Emperor Yuan Jing came out from the back of the palace a quarter of an hour late and sat on his dragon chair. After the monarch and his ministers played the duel normally, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came out and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, the Third Law Department has completed verification and the Queen is indeed the mastermind of the Fu Fei case.

"Shangguan's virtue is unworthy of his position. He plotted to kill the concubine and frame the prince. Please be severely punished by your majesty."

The Minister of Dali Temple immediately stepped forward to second the proposal. Apparently they didn't find anything and were deceived by Concubine Chen's plan. They were all useless.

In the hall, the civil servants, military generals and some nobles all agreed with the proposal, making a chorus of voices. This means that they have already reached a consensus yesterday that deposing the queen is no better than deposing the prince. It is a major matter related to the country.

The abolition of the empress is only a family matter of the emperor. As long as there is good reason and evidence to prove that the empress is indeed immoral and it is not the emperor who likes the new and dislikes the old, then the ministers have no reason and no need to stop her.

The only thing that matters after the dethronement is the identity of the fourth prince. You must know that the fourth prince is the only legitimate son of Emperor Yuan Jing, and many people put their treasure on him. Those who did not second the motion were the four princes and their party.

Before Emperor Yuan Jing could express his stance, Wei Yuan came out and the palace immediately became quiet.

"Your Majesty, there is another secret behind Concubine Fu's case. The queen is not the mastermind. The real mastermind is Huang Xiaorou. She killed Concubine Fu and deceived the prince to go to Qingfeng Palace to fabricate the case."

As soon as Wei Yuan finished speaking, a professional troll jumped out of the situation and loudly refuted the great eunuch's point of view.

"It's nonsense. How can a mere palace maid commit such a shocking crime? Besides, why did Huang Xiaorou frame the prince? Wei Yuan, what do you think of your majesty? What do you think of all the princes in the temple? Please kill this beast!" "

Xu Zisheng was used to it. Every time he had a court meeting, he would launch a knife-cutting activity. The ministers all agreed and chopped their own swords at Wei Yuan. For a while, the Jinluan Palace was extremely noisy, like a vegetable market.

The old eunuch held the whip in his hand and whipped it hard, making a crisp sound. He yelled loudly to maintain order.

"quiet!"

The ministers in the palace were all the most powerful among the powerful. How could they pay attention to the scolding of an old eunuch? They continued to criticize Wei Yuan with words and writings, wishing to hack Wei Yuan to death immediately.

The Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple looked at Wei Yuan with a sneer. All the officials also looked at Wei Yuan, with some sneers, ridicule, confusion and helplessness. The latter were mostly members of the four princes.

Xu Zisheng saw that the scene was so chaotic and the fuss was so outrageous. He took a step forward and walked in front of Gui Shizhong. He raised his right hand and made a big blow. With a snap, Gui Shizhong was like a weak girl. As if insulted by more than a dozen big men, he covered his red and swollen face with a delicate look and looked at Xu Zisheng in horror.

In an instant, everyone fell silent, and their surprised eyes focused on Xu Zisheng. This guy hit someone again, and he was getting more and more domineering.

"Zhan Zhan Zhan! You know how to say this. Listen to Mr. Wei honestly and quietly. It's not too late for you to refute. If you dare to criticize your colleagues for no reason again, I will slap you!"

Xu Zisheng scolded Gui Shizhong and sprayed saliva on Gui Shizhong's face, completely stupefying him.

Only then did Wei Yuan have the opportunity to speak, his eyes swept across the crowd, and he said in a deep voice.

"Yesterday, Tongluo Xu Qian, who was in charge of the Fu Fei case, found out that Huang Xiaorou was pregnant!"

Before he finished speaking, there was another uproar in the palace. Is the palace maid Huang Xiaorou pregnant? !

Apart from the guards, the only person in the palace who could really make a woman pregnant was Emperor Yuan Jing. Of course, guards are impossible. Those who can guard the harem are loyal to the royal family and are selected from thousands of elites. They are often in teams of several and supervise each other. There is no possibility of having an affair with a palace maid.

For a moment, the princes in the temple looked at Emperor Yuan Jing with inquiry and gossip in their eyes. Who didn't know that Emperor Yuan Jing had been practicing Taoism for many years and had stopped flirting with women long ago. The truth here is really very curious.

Emperor Yuan Jing's face twitched slightly, he looked coldly at Wei Yuan, who had deliberately paused to say nothing, and ordered majestically.

"Wei Yuan, keep talking!"

"After investigation, it was discovered that the person who caused Huang Xiaorou to lose her virginity and become pregnant was the uncle of the dynasty, Shangguan Ming!"

In the truth told by Wei Yuan, the palace maid Huang Xiaorou was insulted by her uncle and became pregnant unfortunately, and secretly had a miscarriage afterwards. She held a grudge and endured it for many years, and finally hatched a conspiracy. Taking advantage of Concubine Fu's personal maid, she secretly destroyed the guardrail of the observatory, took advantage of Concubine Fu's drunkenness, and tricked the prince into coming to the Qingfeng Palace, setting up the most shocking plot in the harem in more than ten years.

After the uncle heard about the case of Concubine Fu, he found that Huang Xiaorou was involved. He was afraid that his behavior as a beast would be exposed, so he went to Fengqi Palace. Only then did the queen know that her uncle had done such a heartless thing. Thinking of her flesh and blood, she took the blame for her uncle with tears.

"That's what happened. My uncle has confessed. Your Majesty can bring him to trial at any time."

What Wei Yuan said was concealed and did not involve Concubine Chen. It was obviously to save face for Emperor Yuan Jing. Emperor Yuan Jing also knew very well that the case of Concubine Fu involved the prince, the queen, Concubine Chen, and the uncle. There were too many involved. It cannot be announced to the public.

"Your Majesty, please make your decision."

Wei Yuan's papers were submitted to the palace as early as yesterday. Normally, the papers would be delivered to the palace one day in advance when there was a court meeting. Therefore, Emperor Yuan Jing had already read the confession of his uncle. If there was a meeting today, Emperor Yuan Jing would If you want to end the Fu Fei case, you can conclude it at this time. If you don't want to, you will be ordered to investigate again.

Emperor Yuan Jing pondered for a moment, glanced at Wei Yuan, and then spoke.

"The Shangguan complained that he had caused filth in the harem and was sentenced to death! The queen knew about it and did not report it. She is guilty of the same crime. However, she thought of her bloodline and was excusable. She ordered the queen to shut up and think about it for three months."

The officials didn't know the inside story and thought the matter was over. But Emperor Yuan Jing paused for a moment and continued.

"The prince drunkenly broke into the Qingfeng Palace and did not know how to behave. He was ordered to stay in seclusion for half a year. Concubine Chen encouraged the prince to get drunk, which led to a catastrophic disaster and she was demoted to Concubine Chen."
