messy

The case from four years ago surfaced again, Jin Yuchen loudly narrated the information he found in the court hall, which caused a huge commotion, and Zhang Zhongjing was even more excited in the court hall: "Your Majesty, he is lying, he is lying! He slandered me, Your Majesty! How could there be any border defense map in the humble minister's house, he spouted blood!"

"Yes, Fourth Prince, don't talk nonsense, this is a serious crime against the Nine Clans, how could we break the law knowingly?" Li Zongnian also agreed from the sidelines. --- "Is it a slander? Wouldn't it be good to wait for the father to send troops to search the house of the two of you?" Jin Yuchen looked at the two with solemn eyebrows, and his tone was very calm, without a trace of anxiety, "There is a record on the file , Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang were originally Chen Guogong's people, but they suddenly became the heroes who wrote the informant letter. There is also evidence. It is a bit too confident to be promoted from the previous sixth rank to the fourth rank. That's why you went to sue, right?" As for talking nonsense, he was very good at it, since he stepped into this court, he never spoke a single truth.

This matter was considered bad luck, none of the ministers would come out to speak out, seeing that it had nothing to do with them, they all chose to stand by and treat each other coldly, and some even laughed, watching how these two people were pulled down, and then they were doomed.

"Okay, just as the fourth brother said, I will send people to search the houses of Zhongshu Shilang and Shangshu Zuocheng thoroughly. If what is said is true, the two lovers should pay the corresponding price. If there is nothing, the old man Four... what should you do?"

"I will be above this hall, and I will kneel down and kowtow to the two adults to admit my mistake." Jin Yuchen swore back, but it is impossible not to find something, Jin Mingzuo wants to sink his scandal forever even if he doesn't search Now that he wants to claim that he has found it, the matter has already come to fruition, but on the surface, there is still a process to go through. The Tian family are very good, especially in terms of acting.

"Okay, let's do it like this. Come here and tell Gao Jing, the guard with the knife in front of the imperial court, to go and search carefully at the residence of Zhongshu Shilang and Shangshu Zuocheng." Jin Mingzuo had long wanted to kill these two people. At that time, I was already murderous. I thought that there was only one drawing, but I didn't expect these two to keep the second one. Although I don't know if they have another backup, but neither of them can keep it. All must die.

"Yes." The eunuch who sent the message didn't dare to be sloppy, and quickly ran to the guard who was a little distance away.

Jin Yuchen couldn't help feeling pity when he saw the poor two scapegoats in front of him, pity, pity, and thought that he could really live in peace, wondering if these two people would have such funny expressions when they went to the guillotine. ---Shen Funan also secretly laughed at these two people, why is their expression so funny that it is absolutely impossible to find any criminal evidence?He really couldn't hold it back, and raised his sleeves to cover his face with a mocking laugh.

There is a saying that is good, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.Hades wants people to die at the third watch, who dares to keep them until the fifth watch?

Sure enough, two blueprints were presented, and together they happened to be the border defense blueprints. Jin Mingzuo was furious, and tore the blueprints in his hand into pieces: "How dare you! How dare you hide the border military blueprints, what do you think?" What are you doing? Traitoring the country for glory or seeking to usurp the throne? You said that this matter has nothing to do with you, so what is this blueprint? Ah? It’s useless for me to use you so much, and it makes me feel so chilled. Go to death row!"

Li Zongnian did not expect to find any so-called evidence in his mansion, and Zhang Zhongjing also did not expect that seeing the emperor so angry, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground: "The emperor clearly investigated, the humble minister has been wronged, Your Majesty!"

"Now that the evidence is here, what else do you have to argue with? Come and drag it down!" Jin Mingzuo stopped listening to them, and waved for them to be dragged away.

All the ministers present knew it well. It was clear that Chen Guogong's case was used to pull those two people out. The whole case had nothing to do with the case four years ago. If there was any evidence, it seemed that the mastermind behind the scenes had prepared everything. alright.

Hmph, if you don't do things well, you will be framed and imprisoned, and those two people will probably end up here.

After this incident, the emperor praised and rewarded Jin Yuchen heavily in front of civil and military officials. Jin Yuchen stood still and accepted the exaggerated reward and ostentation, thanked the emperor for his favor, and then stepped down from court.

After leaving the Zhenghe Palace, the Ninth Prince stopped him and said with a smile: "Fourth Brother is very capable. I am so impressed that he solved such a big case in less than two days. I don't know if Fourth Brother will have another arrangement later. I rewarded me with some antiques and rare things from the Western Regions, Fourth Brother has always loved these things, would you like to come to my house and talk about them?"

Jin Yuchen glanced at Shen Funan not far away, and replied with a smile: "Of course, I have plenty of time."

The Ninth Prince was supported by the Fu family, and Jin Yuchen had always wondered what kind of person the master the Fu family was looking for would be.

The Ninth Prince, Jin Xuefan, was only 16 years old, and he was named a prince. His residence was still in the wealthy area of ​​the capital, with hundreds of family members, fiefdoms and a standing army. Regarding Jin Xuefan, it can be said that among his dozen brothers, the one in front of him is the most difficult one.

I'm not afraid that those older brothers and younger brothers will look down on you, nor are you afraid that they will face each other maliciously. What I'm afraid of is that they come to drink tea with you for no reason like this. What kind of thoughts are they hiding?

Jin Xuefan looked very happy: "How about the fourth brother come with me? After leaving the palace gate, come back with me in a sedan chair. I will send someone to take the fourth brother back when it is late."

"Ninth brother is so considerate, it's the best." Jin Yuchen said, and he had already stepped forward, which was the direction of leaving the palace.

On the way, Jin Xuefan said intentionally or unintentionally: "I have been training in the North and South Army for these years. My concubine and my father said that they want me to go to the army to learn more and get rid of my too strong bookishness, so that no one will see me. I always said that I was too weak and delicate, and I didn't have the bearing of a prince. I suffered a lot in the army, and it was only a few days before I returned to the capital. After so many years, the capital is still the capital, and everything in the palace is in harmony with it. I left the previous one, so it seems that I have never left this deep palace."

Jin Yuchen seemed to be infected as well: "It's good to leave this deep palace, but it's not good to leave the intrigues and intrigues here?"

"Oh, fourth brother, do you really think so?" Jin Xuefan stopped, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Jin Yuchen also stopped following his footsteps: "But you can only think about it, can't you? As a royal, you will be a royal wherever you go. The word "easy" does not exist at all. You can do it in the barracks. Learned it, didn't you?"

"Fourth brother is really romantic," Jin Xuefan continued to walk forward, "The eldest brother is a prince, and the emperor has always wanted to cultivate him. The second brother's mother and concubine are princesses sent by the allies to marry, and there is a dynasty behind them. , eyeing the Anqing Kingdom's throne covetously; the fifth brother and the sixth brother have now formed an alliance, and the combined power of the two families can mobilize tens of thousands of troops. Only you and me, the fourth brother, are alone and helpless. Although I have The Fu family is behind, but you know that the father has been dissatisfied with the Fu family all these years. The Northern and Southern Army is apparently in the hands of Fu Bai, but the soldier talisman will only take effect if it is combined into one. The father will not easily take the other half of the soldier talisman from the prince. Brought it to Fu Bai, and even gave it to my mansion in the capital, so that he can monitor me. Although Shen Xiangguo is on your side, he is always the emperor's man. Can you really trust him? Li also has military power, but he is a two-faced person, and his position will change at any time. How can someone who studies power truly believe that there will be absolute allies in this world? The power still needs to be in your own hands to be at ease, what does the fourth brother think?"

Jin Yuchen kept his composure, and his tone could not hear a trace of panic or hesitation: "Ninth brother, what do you think of fourth brother? You also know that fourth brother has no power in his hand, and may even be a piece of chess to help the crown prince. What is your purpose in telling me this now? Ninth Brother, Fourth Brother has never said that Fourth Brother likes antiques."

Jin Xuefan laughed heartily: "Fourth brother is really cautious, I ask you to go over to the house and show fourth brother something that would interest fourth brother, but fourth brother really doesn't want to try to be with ninth brother and me, Can you bring back something that should belong to us from the father?"

Almost at the palace gate, Jin Yuchen raised his lips: "Ninth Brother wants to find Fourth Brother to be an ally?"

Jin Xuefan smiled and said nothing, which was a tacit agreement.

"You also know that there are no absolute allies. When the time comes, it will depend on who will win." Jin Yuchen raised his palm, "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, and the one who survives is the winner."

Jin Xuefan raised his hand and slapped Jin Yuchen's palm: "A high-five is a promise, and there will be no complaints."

"Get rid of those who are in the way first." Jin Yuchen stopped, and there were two sedan chairs parked outside the palace gate. Jin Yuchen frowned, "You prepared the two sedan chairs early in the morning?"

Jin Xuefan shook his head: "There is one that doesn't belong to me. How can we talk about things in two sedan chairs?" As soon as the words fell, the people on the sedan chairs came out, and Jin Xuefan said in surprise, "It belongs to Princess Anhe." .”

I am afraid that there is no one in the court who does not know Princess Anhe. Although she is the princess named by the previous emperor, she is the only one who dares to refuse the marriage bestowed by the emperor in public. She also said that she will not marry unless she is the fourth prince Come on, even Jin Xuefan, who has never been to the palace banquet, secretly thinks that the princess is very courageous.

Now that the princess got off the carriage, he immediately took a fancy to Jin Yuchen, and focused on looking at him alone, his eyes could not tolerate anything else. Jin Xuefan knew that there was nothing wrong with him, and the princess looked pitiful. He looked like he had suffered some kind of grievance, so he came to look for his fourth brother.

Jin Xuefan coughed, cupped his hands and said: "Fourth brother, I'm not in a hurry to have a good talk with fourth brother at this moment, Anhe princess rushed to enter the palace so urgently, I must have something urgent for you, I will come back after I deal with it It's not too late for my family, so I'll take my leave first."

Jin Yuchen knew that there was nothing to be discussed today, so he simply nodded and bid farewell to Jin Xuefan.

Jin Xuefan walked to the side of the sedan chair, nodded slightly to Shen Qing, and left as a greeting.

Jin Yuchen looked at Shen Qingbie who remained motionless, sighed slightly, and said to her: "Go to my place, I have something to say in Jiayu Palace."
