The prince is hard to serve

Frowning, Yan Wenhao kept thinking after listening to An Si's words, he was silent for a long time, then slowly blinked his eyes, then put away the shock in his eyes, and returned to his calm look.

Glancing in the direction of An Si, he said slowly: "After you go back, you first hand over all the matters in hand to An Wu, and do your best to investigate this matter with An Er, and it is best to find conclusive evidence to prove it. This matter, what Duke Mu said is true, and he did not say it casually to deceive Duke Huai."

Although Yan Wenhao said so, he was already ninety percent sure in his heart, otherwise, with Mu Guogong's cunning and cunning, it would be absolutely impossible to abandon Yan Wenzhi and support King Huai.

An Si nodded in response: "This subordinate understands."

With his forehead propped, Yan Wenhao thought for a while again, and then told him: "You tell An Yi and An Er again, let them go to Duke Huai's fiefdom together, make sure to investigate clearly, Duke Huai secretly How many soldiers and horses did he raise, and what other officials did he have in collusion with in the court, find out the evidence."

Since for so many years, Duke Huai's flirtatious nature and inaction are just a disguise, and he has been keeping a low profile and hiding himself, then he must have done too many tricks in the dark, colluding with many ministers, He is fully prepared for his future regicide and usurpation of the throne.

Now, I'm afraid that the power on his side is already deep, and it may take a lot of effort to uproot him.

Yan Wenhao lowered his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.For these years, he has only paid attention to Concubine Degui and Concubine Liang, but he completely ignored Duke Huai, almost causing great changes because of him.

However, as far as it is now, there is no need to worry too much——

Now, his father is not confused, he is still very young. Although the suspicion has become more and more serious in the past few years, the court situation is still very stable. Even though most officials are involved in party disputes, they still do their best and the people live and work in peace and contentment. And those foreigners outside the customs are even more afraid to invade easily.

In such a prosperous and peaceful world, Duke Huai did not dare to do anything. He only raised troops for a thousand days, but only used them for a short time. The soldiers and horses in his hands were always a huge hidden danger. Hanging there, they were extremely dangerous. If you are careful, there will be great changes.

Moreover, if it is not resolved, in the future, if someone gives Duke Huai a proper reason, he will really give birth to the determination to usurp the throne even if he is desperate. The creatures caused a lot of turmoil.

"Yes, my subordinates take orders."

An Si clasped his fists and lowered his head, and responded respectfully.

"Right, there's one more thing."

Suddenly recalling the incident not long ago, Yan Wenhao called An Si who was about to leave, frowned, and asked in a cold voice: "An Si, do you know if An San found out who was behind Li He back then?"

The third party was later sent by him to investigate other matters, and the matter about Li He was temporarily forgotten by him.

Hearing this, Ansi thought for a while, and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, Ansan found out. Before that day, Concubine Degui's personal maid found him and gave him 2 taels of silver notes to let him Say that word."

"I know."

Nodding his head slightly, Yan Wenhao's eyes flashed with coolness, he pondered for a moment, and he ordered coldly: "Go and find a few hooligans at random, and let them go to Li He's medical clinic to make trouble every day, when will the medical clinic When will the closed door stop, and by the way, pass the news to Mrs. Li, and let her get to know each other with those young ladies and concubines raised by Li He in other courtyards."

Li He was just a wandering doctor in his early years, impoverished and powerless, if he hadn't been lucky enough to be appreciated by Mrs. Li's father, who recruited him to become a doctor in the hospital, and later he got Miss Li's favor and married her, Where will there be achievements at this time?

As for Mrs. Li, she is notoriously pungent. She yearns for a lifetime of love. At that time, she was willing to marry Li He because she liked his honesty and devotion to her. If she finds out about Li He now Those who are raised outside, I'm afraid they won't let it go.

How could it be possible just to be dismissed?

Now, he will not let anyone who tried to hurt Mu Ziling go, and he will repay them with a hundred times, a thousand times.

Standing in place and waiting for a while, seeing that Yan Wenhao had nothing else to say, An Si and Luo Yu didn't stay any longer, and after saluting to Yan Wenhao respectively, they walked out of the window one after the other just like when they came here. Leaped out, and then quietly left the palace and disappeared into the night.

When only Yan Wenhao and Xie Jingyu were left in the hall, Xie Jingyu frowned and spoke first: "What are you going to do about what An Si said just now?"

There was infinite concern in his tone.

Duke Huai was able to raise an army of soldiers without anyone noticing in the fief!

Xie Jingyu really couldn't bear to see the flames of war being rekindled just because of his own self-interest, causing war, breaking the prosperity and peace of today, and trapping the people in misery.

How unfair is this?

Raising his hand, Yan Wenhao moved slowly. He took a clean glass cup again, filled it with tea, and handed it to Xie Jingyu. Hearing this, he squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "It's just to wait and see what happens." .”

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu couldn't help frowning: "But..."

"No hurry, you don't need to worry too much."

After stopping Xie Jingyu's words, Yan Wenhao raised his eyes to look at him, and said unhurriedly: "Wait to find out the number of soldiers and horses in the dark, and how many people in the court have colluded with him, and then discuss this matter." It’s not too late, the most important thing now is to finish Li Zezhang’s case, make him bow his head and plead guilty, then rescue General Feng, and clear him of the charge of embezzling military pay.”

At this time, the day to behead Feng Chu was not far away, and their first task was to save him.

He couldn't let his uncle's friend be wronged by embezzlement of military pay for no apparent reason, and become Li Zezhang's scapegoat for them.

After drinking the tea in the glass cup, Yan Wenhao continued to explain to Xie Jingyu: "Besides, under the rule of the emperor, the people now live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful and happy. Unless King Huai has an extreme reason, otherwise even though he has soldiers and horses With it in hand, I dare not act rashly, otherwise..."

Otherwise, if he sent troops for no reason and fell into the rain of the people all over the world, even if he wins in the end, the throne will not last long. This sentence is too rebellious, even Yan Wenhao dare not speak arbitrarily.

But Xie Jingyu is too familiar with Yan Wenhao, and knows that Yan Wenhao didn't say what he said later, but as long as he thinks about it for a while, he will fully understand, so he nodded quickly, and asked about the imperial decree .

"Today, His Majesty's imperial decree has been issued?"

In fact, when Xie Jingyu received the multi-dimensional notice, he had already put down what he was doing and rushed into the palace immediately. However, because something happened to Mu Ziling at that time, Yan Wenhao hurried out of the palace with Fuquan, so he was kept in a hurry. left until now.

"Come down at noon."

Nodding his head, Yan Wenhao said softly: "Father pays more attention to this case than I imagined." Then, he smiled again, "That's fine, I can't wait, I'm waiting I have waited too long for this day."

"Yes, we've all waited too long." Xie Jingyu also laughed after speaking.

After laughing, Xie Jingyu looked at Yan Wenhao again, shook his folding fan and asked him: "By the way, Your Majesty asked you to select people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple to assist you in the trial of this case. At this time, what is in your heart?" Already have a suitable candidate?"

Taking out a list from his sleeve, Yan Wenhao said: "This list was given to me by Mr. Mu, but the people on it are not bad for the people I want to use in my heart. I am going to When I go to court tomorrow, I will hand over the list to my father."

After taking the list from him, Xie Jingyu looked down carefully, then pointed to one of the names, and said with a smile: "This Qin Jiang, I have met him a few times in restaurants in the city. He is not bad, but he is straightforward. Do not dare to say anything, and you can piss people off with just one mouth."

Handing the list back to Yan Wenhao, Xie Jingyu continued with a smile and said, "I have had a few drinks with Qin Jiang, but he is really underappreciated and unable to display his talents. He was dispatched from the local area. Rumor has it, None of the cases he handled was wrong, and when he left, the local people gave him a Wanmin umbrella and saw him off spontaneously."

"It's a pity that most of the officials in the capital form their own factions and form their own circles. Officials use each other to take care of each other, and there are too many interests involved. Naturally, it is incomparable in the local area. With his honesty Yes, with a temperament that cannot tolerate a drop of sand in his eyes, he offended Li Zezhang and other high-ranking ministers one after another as soon as he entered Beijing... Sigh, what a pity."

Shaking his head and sighing softly, Xie Jingyu drank the tea in one gulp, and then continued: "Because of being blocked by Li Zezhang and the others, Qin Jiang's official career has not been smooth since then. After seven years, he was promoted to Tui Cheng, responsible for civil affairs, and worked for another three years, but he was not promoted again, and his talent was buried in vain."

Yan Wenhao lowered his head and straightened the wrinkles on his wide sleeves. After listening to Xie Jingyu's words, he just nodded slightly, and then said calmly: "As long as he is really talented and can do things for me, I will not let him Continue to be buried like this."

He will not be stingy to give any opportunity for talented people to display their ambitions, but the premise is that they have good character, they will not be hypocritical, and they can do things for him.

And this group of officials happened to be good candidates, and it was time for him to cultivate his influence. If these officials could be used by him in the future, he would be even more powerful, and he would be one step closer to becoming the crown prince!
