"Master Han, this time is thanks to you. If you hadn't blocked Uncle Zhenyuan at the right time, he would have escaped."

Lu Bing came to Han Yun, clapped his hands and said.

"The capital city is only that big. Now that the city gate is closed, where can he escape?"

Han Yun shook his head.

"Oh, it's different, he hid in other princes and ministers' houses, and it's not easy for us to go in and search, otherwise Qiu Yuan wouldn't have been hiding for so long before.

No matter what, I still want to thank Palace Master Han, as well as the Sixth Prince, Lord Chai and Princess Nian'an. I will truthfully report your contributions to His Majesty.

I'll take Uncle Zhenyuan home first, see you tomorrow. "

"Farewell."

Everyone parted, Han Yun and the other three carried Xiao Yuxin and went back to the palace.

After arriving at the palace, Han Yun said while drinking tea,

"Will Uncle Zhenyuan confess the prince?"

Hearing this, Wang Fugui sneered, shook his head and said,

"If Uncle Zhenyuan is smart, he can just put all the blame on the head of the Minister of Rites. He can be regarded as a criminal harboring at most, but it depends on how Lu Bing convicts him. If he is convicted of colluding with each other, he will be punished by the nine clans." If it is a shelter, it is exile, family members are enslaved, and property is confiscated.

Besides, even if Uncle Zhenyuan and the Minister of Rites confessed to the crown prince, Lu Bing would not report it.

Even if Lu Bing reported it, the emperor could say that they planted the crown prince.

If the old man wants to protect him, he can protect him no matter what. If the old man wants to kill anyone, you will die even if you are innocent.

This time it was obvious that the emperor didn't want to get to the bottom of the prince's responsibilities, so it was almost over. "

Chai Yuan looked a little displeased, but he is not a pedantic person, and he is well versed in officialdom, so he could only nod helplessly,

"Forget it, but in this way, we have ruined the prince's good deeds, and the prince will definitely be reprimanded tomorrow."

"Well, you, Mr. Chai, are also involved in this."

Wang Fugui would not let go of any chance to win over Chai Yuan and alienate the prince.

"I know, let's see what His Majesty will say tomorrow."

"it is good."

The next day, the court meeting.

Wang Fugui woke up early to attend the court meeting, which usually started before dawn, while Han Yun had to wait until dawn before going to the Imperial Guard camp.

At the meeting, Lu Bing was the first to stand up.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I captured Qiu Yuan, Minister of Rites and his henchman, Uncle Zhen Yuan, who was the criminal minister yesterday night."

"Oh? Qiu Yuan caught it?"

The emperor said, and cast a glance at the crown prince, that look seemed to say two words,

waste!

The prince quickly lowered his head, avoiding his eyes.

"Where did you catch it? Why was Uncle Zhenyuan involved?"

the emperor asked lightly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yesterday the Sixth Prince, Master Chai, Princess Nian'an, and Palace Master Han took An Nanhou's younger sister to the temple fair.

At the temple fair, the son of Uncle Zhenyuan was playing with the eldest daughter of Prince Gong, Princess Pingyang.

Dianzhu Han's eyes are like torches, and he is extremely intelligent. He sees that Uncle Zhenyuan has a ghost in his heart.

At that moment, Palace Master Han, the Sixth Prince, Master Chai and Princess Nian'an went to the imperial city and arrested Qiu Yuan. Then, the Sixth Prince and Lord Chai escorted the prisoner to the Imperial Prison and handed over the prisoner to the minister.

Weichen took people to Uncle Zhenyuan's house to arrest them, but Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhenyuan received the report, packed up his family and prepared to abscond.

Fortunately, Dianzhu Han guarded there in advance and blocked them at home, so that the soldiers arrested Zhenyuan Bo's family without bloodshed and effort.

Yesterday night, the minister interrogated overnight, both Qiu Yuan and Zhen Yuanbo confessed to their crimes, admitting that the two colluded with each other, bribed the demon clan, and assassinated His Majesty. "

After speaking, Lu Bing took out the paper from his pocket and offered it with both hands,

"Your Majesty, this is the confession of the two of them."

Eunuch Cao stepped forward immediately, took the confession, walked up to the emperor with small steps, and put it on the table.

The emperor picked up the testimony and looked at it, saying,

"Well, since the criminal has already confessed and the evidence is solid, let's hand it over to Dali Temple for trial and ask him to execute him tomorrow."

The corners of the mouths of the Dali Temple officials below twitched when they heard that, you always ordered to be executed directly, and we still have a trial.

Isn't this the conclusion you made in one sentence?

In ancient times, the Ministry of Punishment was equivalent to the Ministry of Public Security, Dali Temple was equivalent to a court, and Yushitai was equivalent to a procuratorate.

But this time the emperor arbitrarily ordered the court and ordered it directly.

"Xuan, Minister of Rites Qiu Yuan and Bo Zhenyuan Huang An colluded with the demon clan and assassinated me. The crime is heinous and unforgivable. I will be executed tomorrow. All my property will be confiscated and my family members will be sent to the frontier as slaves."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

The officials below shouted.

It stands to reason that stabbing and driving is a heinous crime, and should punish the nine clans, even the whole family, but the emperor knew that the two of them were just accomplices, and the mastermind was still standing below, so he gave it a light sentence.

"His Majesty."

Lu Bing said again,

"In this case, the Sixth Prince, Lord Chai, Master Han and Princess Nian'an have made great contributions. Your Majesty please decide."

The Sixth Prince and the others helped Lu Bing yesterday, so Lu Bing would naturally reciprocate and repay them.

The emperor nodded,

"Unexpectedly, Palace Master Han has only been here for a day, and he helped the court catch the criminals. He is really my lucky star, and the sixth son and Chai Yuan have made great achievements in the past two years.

You must be rewarded for meritorious service. The ability of the Sixth Prince is obvious to all. I propose that the Sixth Prince, Wang Hao, has both ability and political integrity. He can serve as the servant of the household department. "

Hearing that a minister next to the prince was about to stand up and object, the prince turned his head and gave the minister a hard look, the man immediately understood and returned to his original position.

"Oh? Does Guo Aiqing have something to say?"

The emperor looked at the minister.

Hearing this, the man immediately said,

"Chen... I feel that the sixth prince can indeed take on important responsibilities. I just want to say that Lord Chai and Dianzhu Han must also receive rewards."

"Then why are you standing back?"

There was a sneer on the corner of the emperor's mouth.

The minister broke out in a cold sweat and said hastily,

"I suddenly remembered that with His Majesty's sageness, I will never forget it. I shouldn't talk too much about it. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"On the court, it is natural to speak freely, and you will not be punished for your words. Only by brainstorming can we choose the best way."

All the ministers agreed.

The emperor went on to say,

"Prince."

"My son is here."

"This time you made a big mistake, neglected your duty, even more slack in arresting the criminal Qiu Yuan, and did nothing.

During this period of time, don’t go to the cabinet to assist, go to the camp of the imperial guards, worship Han Yun as your teacher, and learn from others how to be discerning and how to lead and train the guards. "

"My son...obey the order."

The prince was full of respect and humility.
