If the "crime" is confirmed, I am afraid that all scholars will not stand on the side of Emperor Yuanzhao. If they openly support Emperor Yuanzhao, they will be pointed at their noses and scolded, "You also want to be a beast that messes with your mother." Is it?" Those scholars were about to get into the ground.

Therefore, no matter what, the influence of this matter must be limited to the palace, and it is impossible for Xiao Zheng to watch these few people take Chu Guiren out.

He took a deep breath, and said: "Misters, the inner court does not interfere with the government, and the foreign ministers are not allowed to interfere with the forbidden palace. Go and investigate, don't bother the three courts."

"Within three days, this matter will be investigated clearly, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Originally, it should be handed over to Mr. Xiao for investigation."

Shen Kuan glanced at the nobleman Chu lying on the ground, and snorted: "But Eunuch Xiao wants to kill this woman in front of us. I'm afraid it's not the attitude of investigating the case. When I leave, Eunuch Xiao won't leave." Eat her alive?"

Xiao Zheng raised his head and glanced at Shen Kuan.

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid the crimes committed by this woman will not stop at her alone. If our family really finds out something, it will be bad for anyone. According to our family's opinion, this matter will stop here , the princes have never been here, nor have they seen it, it is just that a maid died in the palace, and nothing happened."

As he said that, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness has been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, and since then you have been as innocent as water, how about it?"

This is to discuss business with several prime ministers.

This matter was reduced to a minor one, and the criminal evidence detected by Tianmu was also wiped out. Everyone took a step back and lived in peace.

It's a tempting proposition.

Xiao Zheng glanced back at the Son of Heaven, bowed deeply: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yuanzhao's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth.

As the master of the people, how can he not be angry at being framed by these people like playing with a child?But even if he gets angry again at this time, it's not good to really turn against the prime ministers. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's up to you."

If this matter is just an ordinary court dispute, and Emperor Yuanzhao is not the emperor, but a minister in the court, and everyone is evenly matched, each step back, this matter may come to an end.

But very well, he is the emperor.

Several prime ministers looked at each other and bowed their hands to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the heavens are watching, and the ancestors are watching. This matter must be investigated clearly, and everyone must be innocent. It must not be left alone. Otherwise, in the next hundred years, future generations will use this to slander Your Majesty and bring disaster to you." endless!"

Several Zaifu spoke in unison, obviously unwilling to give up.

Of course they are unwilling to give up, their opponent is the emperor, once this matter is done, there will be no turning back!

Even if a compromise is reached today, after the emperor takes power in the future, they will still be liquidated one by one, and they may die even worse.

Only at this time, if you work hard, can you have a way out.

In fact, they would not have come to this point in the first place. If Emperor Yuanzhao hadn't shown such strength and honestly waited for the time to be in charge, they would not have taken such a risk. But this 14-year-old boy would have Start to attack them, and there is a Jing'an Marquis in the south, who is staring at the court, and his wealth and life cannot be taken care of. These people will risk their lives and do this kind of thing like "force the palace".

Emperor Yuanzhao was furious.

He patted his table and shouted angrily: "Then go and investigate, investigate this matter clearly, clearly, and find out the culprit, no matter who it is, I will definitely destroy the other three clans!"

This is the weakness of young people. They are often prone to passion and disregard for the consequences when doing things.

What Emperor Yuanzhao thought in his heart was that since he hadn't done anything anyway, no matter how much he checked, there would be no problem, but once this kind of royal scandal was publicized, no matter what the final result was, it would have a huge impact on the emperor's reputation.

Because no matter how it is dealt with in the end, the common people will think in a bad direction. Even if it is finally found out that this matter has nothing to do with the emperor. It is the emperor's prerogative to forcibly wrong the loyal minister.

Moreover, this kind of pornographic news is what ordinary people like to talk about the most. Once it is spread, it will soon spread all over the world, and there will even be an unknown number of versions.

In the end, there may be ups and downs and touching love stories between the little emperor and the nobleman of Chu.

Therefore, Xiao Zhengcai strongly opposed the expansion of this matter.

Xiao Zheng fell to his knees and kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, think twice. This matter should not be publicized. It must be contained within the palace walls. If it spreads out, it will greatly damage His Majesty's reputation..."

"Besides, it shouldn't be a big deal at this time. It's just that a maid from the harem broke into Weiyang Palace unintentionally. Later, the servants will rectify the inner court, and bring out all the beasts in the inner court, and hand them over to His Majesty for punishment."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the Zaifu.

"As for the lords, don't bother with the affairs of the inner court. This woman will definitely not be a nobleman of Chu. In a few days, the servants will tell the story and send it to the Shangshutai to hand over to the lords."

Yan Shouzhuo frowned slightly: "Let Eunuch Xiao go to investigate, it's nothing more than casualties, everything will become blurred in the end, and nothing can be found out. If you want to know if this woman is a nobleman from Chu, that's very simple. Prime Minister Shen and I personally followed Eunuch Xiao to the nobleman's palace and asked about it, and the matter became clear."

Xiao Zheng's face was full of frost.

"The foreign ministers want to enter the harem, don't you think the inner guard's steel sword is not good for you?"

Shen Kuan snorted: "Then please Eunuch Xiao, please invite the people from the nobleman's palace of Chu to Weiyang Palace to recognize them face to face."

Xiao Zheng nodded readily: "Our family will send someone to Yuxiu Palace right now, and invite someone to come over."

Shen Kuan snorted and said: "Eunuch Xiao sent people to go, and the person brought back will probably only speak according to Eunuch Xiao's wishes, I will go with Eunuch Xiao, just wait outside Yuxiu Palace, if not go in. "

Chapter 904

The scene fell into a stalemate.

In any case, Chu Guiren cannot be identified, at least not in front of these prime ministers, otherwise the reputation of Emperor Yuanzhao will be completely ruined!

Xiao Zheng was silent for a while, then took a few steps back, walked up to the emperor, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, things can't be better today, no matter what, this woman can't be recognized, and they can't be taken out of the palace." , servant girl... I am going to mobilize the inner guards, please Your Majesty's will."

The emperor looked at Xiao Zheng, and said silently: "They are assistant ministers..."

Now there are three assistant ministers in the imperial court. Theoretically speaking, these three assistant ministers act on behalf of the king. Before the emperor was in charge, they were the agents of the monarchy. All the yamen in the capital should be controlled by them.

Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter, and there is no room for hesitation. No matter what happens today, these people can't let these people mess around in the palace. The servants use the inner guards to guard them at the Shangshutai. As long as one night, the slaves will take care of this woman's affairs." If we can find out what is going on, tomorrow, His Majesty will shake the court clock and hold a grand court meeting in advance, regardless of the positions of these people, this matter will be suppressed by then."

The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"You... go and do it."

Eunuch Xiao bowed his head deeply, turned his head and bowed his head to several ministers, and said in a deep voice: "Sirs, it is impossible for foreign ministers to intervene in the affairs of the inner palace, otherwise the eunuch, the inner servant of our family, should be killed. In this Weiyang Palace."

"Today's matter is of great importance. All of you have been wronged at the Shangshutai for a day. Our family will find out the matter tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will definitely give you an explanation."

Shen Kuan sneered.

"Did Eunuch Xiao completely disregard the Dajin rules?"

Xiao Zheng bowed slightly and clapped his hands.

Not long after, dozens of inner guards dressed in red poured into Weiyang Palace and surrounded these old men.

Eunuch Xiao said slowly: "All of you gentlemen are naturally splendid in writing, brilliant in writing, and are all great talents in managing the world, but no matter where they are, the person with the knife in his hand must speak according to the rules."

"Girls talk!"
