After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Less than an hour after Xiao Changan was taken away, Grand Tutor He Wangchun entered the palace.

The emperor was already very upset about Xiao Changan's affairs, and when he heard that Tutor He was coming, it was like a confused person suddenly seeing land.

"Let the Master come in quickly."

After Tutor He came in, the emperor asked Eunuch Wan to give him a seat.

"Master, I believe you have heard about it!" the emperor said in a low voice.

Master He nodded, his face very solemn, "Not only this old minister, but all the people in the capital know this."

The emperor was surprised. "I just ordered King Jing to be imprisoned in the Dali Temple. Liu Fang dealt with it secretly. How could it be leaked?"

Master He was stunned. "What? Your Majesty has put Prince Jing in the Dali Temple?"

The emperor looked at Master He and realized that what Master He wanted to tell him was not about Prince Jing going to the Dali Temple.

"Taifu, why are you here in the palace today?"

The wrinkles on Grand Tutor He's forehead deepened, and he said in surprise, "Your Majesty, don't you know? Now the whole capital is saying that Prince Jing is the mastermind behind Wang Qing's frame-up of Lord Jiang. It is said that the news was released by the Dali Temple."

The emperor's face turned cold, and he said to Eunuch Wan beside him: "Summon Duan Xu to the palace, immediately!"

Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, Eunuch Wan bowed respectfully and went out holding his whisk.

After Eunuch Wan left, Grand Tutor He thought for a moment and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Lord Duan is always cautious in his work. It would be better to ask him about this matter."

"Although Duan Xu is in charge of solving cases and investigating crimes, he is very experienced and does not offend people easily. This is not something Duan Xu would do. I wonder if it was leaked by his subordinates."

The emperor held his breath.

Even if King Jing did something wrong, he is still the prince and represents his reputation. Even if he needs to be punished, it must not be done in a way that is known to everyone.

To publicize it like this would be a slap in his face.

Once it is found out that the news came from the Dali Temple, even if they are people under Duan Xu's command, he, as the manager, will still be punished if he fails to do his job properly.

After waiting for an hour, the emperor became impatient and asked Eunuch Wan in a deep voice, "Have the people you sent come back? Where is Duan Xu?"

Eunuch Wan whispered, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will send two more people over. Your Majesty, please wait."

After saying this, he touched the sweat on his forehead, feeling extremely anxious.

At this time, the two eunuchs came back and entered the palace to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Duan said he knew what Your Majesty wanted to ask, and he would be delayed for a while because of this matter. He will give Your Majesty an explanation within an hour."

Looking at the emperor's forbearing face, Master He comforted him, "Your Majesty, it's better to wait and see what Lord Duan says before making a decision."

Duan Xu arrived in less than an hour, his slightly fat face flushed with fatigue and he was gasping for breath.

Two eunuchs saw him from afar, trotted over, and half dragged and half pulled him to the Qinzheng Hall.

The emperor had lost all patience waiting for him. Seeing that he was exhausted and out of breath, he said coldly, "Duan Xu, you made me wait for you for so long, you'd better give me an explanation, otherwise, you'll just resign!"

Duan Xu was so tired that he was out of breath and couldn't say anything. He knelt down and handed the memorial in his hand directly to Eunuch Wan.

Eunuch Wan hurriedly took it and presented it to the emperor with both hands.

When the emperor saw the contents of the memorial, his expression changed immediately. "The news came from the Dian Mansion. Did the prince go to the Dian Mansion yesterday?! Duan Xu, have you checked it out?"

Upon hearing this, the Taifu beside him was shocked.

While the emperor was reading the memorial, Duan Xu had recovered. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the servants in the Dian Mansion have confessed that it was the orders of the now-senior Lord Dian. The prince did go to the Dian Mansion yesterday, just before Lord Dian entered the palace."

"When I found this boy, he was about to leave the city to hide from the public, but the people from the Dali Temple stopped him at the city gate."

Duan Xu didn't say anything more, and there was no need to say anything more. It was obvious: the spread of rumors was related to the prince.

The emperor will decide why the prince does this.

The emperor's hand holding the memorial was so white in the joints and his expression was even gloomier than when he saw Prince Jing just now.

The memorial was slammed on the table. The emperor's chest was heaving with suppressed anger. He shouted angrily, "Evil creature!"

The Taifu knew very well that the Crown Prince was involved in this matter, but he was the one who had personally taught and educated the Crown Prince and had watched him grow up, so he always felt a little reluctant. Even if there was a slight possibility, he wanted to fight for the Crown Prince.

Before the emperor could get angry, Grand Tutor He said calmly, "Your Majesty, this matter involves two princes at once, and it is a serious matter. However, the prince is the heir to the throne after all, and we need to find out the truth before making a decision. Now the prince doesn't know that Your Majesty already knows about this. We only need to control the Dianfu and temporarily wrong King Jing for a few days. Once the truth is found out, if he is innocent, it won't be too late to clear King Jing's name."

Tutor He's words and peaceful tone calmed the emperor, who was on the verge of anger.

The top priority is not punishment, but to minimize the impact of this incident and find out who is manipulating this matter.

After calming down, the emperor spoke in a deep voice: "Duan Xu, Prince Jing will be detained in the Dali Temple for the time being. I order you to investigate this case thoroughly, no matter who it is!"

Duan Xu was still kneeling, and hesitantly said, "But Your Majesty, that's the Crown Prince... Even the officials in the Crown Prince's Palace may not be able to enter."

The emperor gave Eunuch Wan a look, and Eunuch Wan understood what he meant and immediately went into the side hall.

After a while, Eunuch Wan came out with a palm-sized mahogany box and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took the box, opened it, and took out a sign from it. "Take this gold sign. No one can stop you from going anywhere or doing anything."

Duan Xu stood up, took the sign, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I obey your order."

With this sign, it is much easier for him to do things.

The emperor gave one last warning, "This matter should be investigated secretly and not publicized. You should leave now."

Duan Xu bowed to the emperor and left the Qinzheng Hall.

At this time, the emperor and the grand tutor were the only two people left in the Qinzheng Hall, and both of them looked unhappy.

The emperor pinched his forehead and said, "In recent years, due to their marriage, the Crown Prince and Su Heng have been too close. It seems too late for me to correct my mistakes now."

The Grand Tutor sat there, not saying a word, listening quietly to what the Emperor said.

The emperor began to talk to himself again, "Perhaps I have killed too many people, and God has punished me by leaving me with few offspring. Now, only these two sons are by my side. I didn't expect that they both coveted my throne."

"Grandmaster, if it is the crown prince, what should I do? Should I depose him?"

The emperor, who was nearly fifty years old, no longer had any dignity as an emperor. He was just a father betrayed by his son.

Imperial Tutor He looked at the emperor with a look of pity between his brows, "Your Majesty, if you had listened to me earlier and removed Su Heng, the Crown Prince would not have become what he is today."

Su Heng once wanted to kill his son, and Master He didn't believe that the emperor was unaware of it.

The emperor refused to punish Su Heng.

Considering the country and the people, Master He still has to be loyal to the emperor.

The emperor waved his hands irritably, "Master, I have my reasons..."

He couldn't deal with Su Heng openly, and always wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him, but he always let him get away with it.

Disappointment gradually emerged in Grand Tutor He's eyes. "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is not a bad person by nature. It's just that he has been influenced by Su Heng for so many years. The disaster must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise it may be too late."

The emperor held his forehead weakly, "I understand, Master, please leave."

After pondering for a long time, he came up with a plan. Perhaps that way, he could get rid of the worry in his heart.
