Carnivorous Princess and Herbivore Consort

As expected by the three of them, in the early morning court the next day, the emperor was furious, "I thought that after rectifying the mess left by the previous emperor, my court would be a clean and honest court, but what happened? My princess and son-in-law I told you yesterday that in this imperial court, there are still people who disregard human lives! Mei Haomiao, the prefect of Lingzhou, disregarded the king's law and disregarded human lives just because of his own selfishness. Here I am, naively thinking that my country is a peaceful and prosperous world!"

"Emperor calm down!"

"Calm your anger? Since I heard about this yesterday, I can't eat or sleep! Although I, Hui Dynasty, don't say that the weather is good every year, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but the people live in peace. No mistake, but! It’s just such a black sheep who bends the law for personal gain and almost makes me feel ashamed to face the emperor and ancestors!”

Hearing this, Shen Dongxue, who was standing in the back row, remembered the murder case that happened in the theater when she first met Wei Muqing, and she didn't know how it was finally sentenced.The court and the country were not as peaceful as the emperor saw, and what the emperor saw was only the illusion of stability created by the ministers for their own benefit.

I saw Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment took the lead to stand up, bowed and said, "This matter is indeed because the ministers have not been supervised firmly, and the ministers are guilty!"

"Forget it, instead of verbally repenting, it's better to choose an imperial envoy to investigate and deal with this black sheep for me. All the lovers, let's talk about who is suitable to investigate this case thoroughly."

According to the discussion last night, Wei Mucheng elected Miao Qing and Xu He in turn, but they were rejected one by one by other important ministers, and the candidates nominated by other ministers were also rejected one by one by Wei Mucheng and his party members looking for reasons.

The emperor looked at you and I said something to each other, and they fought hard according to their own reasons but couldn't choose a person they agreed with, so he began to become a little impatient.

When Wei Mucheng saw that the time had come, he stood up and said, "My father, I found that although your lords are not satisfied with the candidates just now, most of the reasons can't escape from 'too short job experience' and 'capability. I can't convince the public' these two points, since this is the case, there is still a candidate in Erchen's mind. I didn't bring it up before because I thought it would be overkill for him to investigate the case, but after thinking about it, the case is very serious. It can reassure father and all the adults."

"who is it?"

"Father, the candidate in my mind is my second brother, King Sui." Seeing the surprised expressions on both the minister and the emperor, Wei Mucheng explained without changing his expression, "First, second brother He was crowned king at the age of 16, and he went to the court to work with all the adults every day, and he knew everything about the laws and regulations of our Hui Dynasty and the current situation; secondly, King Sui, as the prince of our Hui Dynasty, is capable enough to silence many people."

"What do you think about what the prince said?"

Whether the ministers present were pro-prince or against the prince, they all said that what the prince said was true.

"Prince Sui, do you have a different opinion on the prince's proposal?"

Wei Musui was still thinking about how to take the initiative to invite Ying, but when he heard Wei Mucheng nominate himself, although he was surprised, he couldn't figure out what Wei Mucheng's doing would do him any harm, so he agreed straight away and said, "Return to the royal father!" , my son is willing to share the worries of the father."

So the candidate for the position of imperial envoy was decided in this way, and the holy decree was sent to Sui Wang's mansion at noon.The imperial decree had many requirements and great powers, so it was natural that Wei Musui had to investigate not only the magistrates of Lingzhou, but also the magistrates of the remaining six prefectures in Hui Dynasty.

Wei Musui, who received the imperial edict, was a little stunned. He thought he was just investigating the favoritism of the magistrate of Lingzhou, but he never thought that he would investigate the magistrates of the seven prefectures one by one.Wei Musui, who started to feel uneasy, went into the palace with the excuse of "leaving Beijing soon and wanting to bid farewell to his concubine mother", and found Concubine Lan who was watering the flowers.

"Mother concubine!"

"Sui'er, why are you entering the palace at this time?" Concubine Lan Gui took the cloth towel handed over by the maid and wiped her hands, then pulled Wei Musui to sit down.

Wei Musui took out the imperial decree from his sleeve and handed it to Concubine Lan Gui, and then said what happened in the morning court recently, "I thought this would be a good opportunity to overshadow the crown prince, but now, a Maybe it’s just shooting yourself in the foot with a rock!”

After reading the imperial decree, Concubine Lan's complexion became the same as that of Wei Musui, very ugly, "You are letting the prince cheat you!"

"Just him? Can he still cheat me?"

"Otherwise, he would kindly give you such a chance to make meritorious deeds?"

"But before the imperial father made the decree, it was all about Charing State, and it didn't mention the other six states at all!"

"You, you!" Concubine Lan Gui poked Wei Musui's head with her finger, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "The prince is already enlightened, why don't you!"

"Is that idiot enlightened? Concubine Mu, are you kidding me?"

"If he doesn't get the hang of it, can he play around with you this time? I'm afraid he has an 'expert' around him now. Do you know who has appeared around the prince recently?"

"If you want to talk about the latest, there is no... No! There is one!"

"Who?"

"Qinghe's son-in-law, Jinke Tanhualang, Shen Dongxue!"

"It's him? Are you sure?"

"That's him! He's the only newcomer around the prince recently. I thought it would be a good thing for Qinghe to marry, so as not to make Jiantian upset his mother and concubine in the palace. Unexpectedly, he married a helper for the prince. come out!"

At this time, the "helper" was chatting with her rabbit.

"It's better for you, as long as you eat and eat is enough, I will worry about life and death for you, ignorance is also a kind of happiness." Shen Dongxue, who was going back home, was planning to have dinner with Wei Muqing, but found However, Yunze learned that the princess had entered the palace, so he had to finish his lunch by himself, and ran to the kitchen yard to feed the rabbit in boredom.

After feeding some vegetables, Shen Dongxue called the steward of the kitchen, "Mama Liu, can this rabbit be washed with water?"

"It's probably okay to go back to the son-in-law, right? The little one has never raised rabbits before."

"Then let's talk about it when the princess comes back. You can go to work."

"Retire, little one."

Shen Dongxue looked at the rabbits lying in the temporary nest and eating vegetables, and wanted to reach out to hug them, but she was worried that these two gray guys would be dirty. If she hugged and played with them without authorization, it would make the princess unhappy, so she had to give up temporarily. Went back to the bedroom to take a nap and wait for Wei Muqing to come home.

At this moment, Wei Muqing was discussing matters with the emperor.

"Father, my son heard from Brother Huang that the post of imperial envoy has been taken up by Brother [-]?"

"That's right. Why, Qing'er has an opinion?"

"No, I have no objection, but I have a request, I don't know if it should be said or not."

"That's right, as long as it's not too much, Father will agree to you."

"Thank you, father! In fact, this is what the son-in-law wanted," Wei Muqing smiled shyly, looking like a little girl in love, "The son-in-law is worried about my brother and wants to get involved in this case. My son-in-law I feel that, in terms of emotion, it would be too indifferent not to agree; but in terms of reason, it is not appropriate, after all, you should avoid suspicion in the case of close relatives."

"It's exactly what Qing'er thinks."

"So I thought, can I let my son-in-law and the son-in-law investigate in private, just for peace of mind, and not to interfere with the second emperor's investigation, trial and handling."

"If it doesn't affect Sui'er's normal investigation, you and your son-in-law can also investigate privately. But I think you should tell Sui'er about this, lest he think that I don't trust him and send you and my son-in-law to monitor What about him?"

"Back to father, I thought that I couldn't tell the second brother about this matter. You also know that the relationship between the son and the second brother has not been very good since childhood. Now if you directly tell him that the son-in-law wants to have a private relationship If he investigates the case, he will definitely think that the son-in-law is worried about him!"

"Then what do you think you should do so that your second brother won't be overwhelmed?"

"The son-in-law has been in high school for so long, and he and the son-in-law have also become relatives, but they have never gone home to visit their parents. Besides, the son-in-law should go back home with the son-in-law to visit his in-laws, so the son-in-law thought about it, saying that the son-in-law was just with the second son-in-law. Brother Huang came back to his soul on the way. My son promises that the private investigation will never let the second brother find out, let alone interfere with his investigation!"

The emperor thought about it for a while, and it didn't seem to be a big deal, so he agreed, "That's fine, it's up to you."
