The king's apex spoils him and is reborn

The scorching sun hangs high, and the cicadas chirp outside the window.

Xiao Beichen pulled the thin quilt over to cover Ji Muqing, and whispered in his ear: "I'll ask someone to bring ice in later, don't kick the quilt."

This morning, Xiao Tianze urgently summoned important ministers to discuss.Xiao Beichen couldn't leave his body, so he had to listen to his subordinates' report afterwards.

When the person on the couch was finally obedient and stopped moving, he touched Ji Muqing's forehead again, and said softly, "I'm going to say a few words, just wait for me."

At that time, Mo Yu had been waiting outside for a long time.Seeing that the person came out, he immediately chose something important to report: "Master, the king is furious now, because the details of the three of them are still unclear. And the only person who survived has been talking nonsense, which is completely unbelievable."

"As long as they are not dead men who have been cultivated for many years, there must be people who know them in this world." Xiao Beichen took a sip of tea to calm himself, and then ordered, "Have the portraits taken out for the list."

"Yes." Mo Yu bowed his head, and said again: "Your Majesty ordered the Criminal Department to find out the truth within a day, and now the Criminal Department can't find anything in the imperial guards temporarily, so it plans to take Miss Ji to court."

Xiao Beichen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after a while, the corners of his lips curled into a tiny arc, "If you want to save your head by embarrassing a daughter's family, I don't mind if they lose their jobs now."

These words were completely cold in peace, Mo Yu closed his eyes, and softly persuaded: "Master."

Xiao Beichen raised his eyes and glanced at him, sighed, "Tell them to investigate carefully. Father Wang has been in a mood lately, and there are hidden dangers in the palace, so he is naturally anxious. Bring the three waist cards, and I will report the situation. Reassure him."

After speaking, Xiao Beichen turned his head to look at the back room.

Since he was a child, he was taught to convince others with reason and not to allow emotions to influence his judgment, but now as long as the matter is about Ji Muqing, he will inevitably be biased.

And what happened last night completely touched his back, and his current actions are already sensible enough.

Inwardly angry, there was another sound from the back room.Xiao Beichen walked around the screen helplessly, and stretched out his hand again for Ji Muqing to grasp.

Looking at the other party's smiling face, his heart was a little more at ease, "It's too much for this temple to be so noisy while asleep."

In Prince Ning's mansion on the other side, Song Zhengxiu looked at the person in front of him wandering around, and comforted him in a good voice: "Your Highness Prince Ning, don't worry."

Xiao Mingxuan did not stop, and said in a panic: "The Ministry of Criminal Justice is not a freelancer. After a long time, it was confirmed that the maid who called Ji Muqing away last night. Now that the badges for identifying the identities of the three have been taken away, they will definitely work hard to pry them open." The mouth of a court lady."

Song Zhengxiu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Then you have to live long enough to open your mouth."

"Sir, everything has been taken care of." Xiao Mingxuan's eyes lit up.

"In the end, the people who do things will not speak again before dusk today, and they have nothing to do with each other." Song Zhengxiu put the teacup aside, and took another idle book, "There are people in the Ministry of Criminal Investigation. But this time the action If it’s not done cleanly, it won’t stand up to scrutiny.”

Xiao Mingxuan was puzzled when he heard the words, "Then why did you keep persuading me before?"

"Your Highness, don't worry." Song Zhengxiu said slowly, "Those three people were originally untouchables, with old parents in their families. Now that their only son is inexplicably charged with assassination in the palace, they will naturally not believe it."

"If the imperial court can't find out who brought them into the palace, and who asked them to tarnish Ji Muqing's innocence, as long as they know a little about the law, they will make trouble."

He paused for a moment, then changed the topic, "The Ji family has a high position and authority, so how could they not fight back after being wronged. But if you do things too ostentatiously, it will inevitably attract the attention of others."

Xiao Mingxuan frowned, and retorted: "Sir, what you said is wrong. How many officials in the court were jealous of the Ji family, but the Ji family still has not lost their hearts." Then he suddenly remembered something in the past, and sighed: "Since childhood, Ji Muqing entered the palace as a companion. Read, the swordsmanship and riding skills surpassed the prince, and the father was so happy to praise him. Now that he has abducted his son, the father only objected for a few days and then he was relieved."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a waste of time, "Teacher Ji accompanied the father to win the heir, and the father wanted to be a wise king. If it weren't for some heinous crime, the Ji family would not be able to fall."

"Your Highness doesn't believe it." Song Zhengxiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xiao Mingxuan squinted his eyes, looked at him and said: "Sir, there is indeed a change in the plan this time, and I don't know what you have presented to Yushitai so far."

Song Zhengxiu smiled, and replied unhurriedly: "The humble minister will wait and see with His Highness."

***

After the portraits of the three strong men were hung on the bulletin board, it wasn't long before someone cried and unveiled the list.The Ministry of Criminal Justice thought it would be able to find out some clues, but they didn't expect that the three of them had been away from home for several years, and the relatives in the family only knew that their son was working outside, and occasionally asked for some money from the family, and they didn't know anything else.

Seeing that the time limit, which had already been delayed once, was approaching, the Ministry of Criminal Justice panicked and dragged the dead bodies of the two strong men to the courtroom. Without thinking of taking turns to question them, one of the mothers went crazy on the spot.

At the same time, Yushitai received letters day and night, all of which were evidence of corruption by officials of various ministries.This extremely retaliatory move at this time is really hard not to remind people of the Ji Mansion.

After Ji Huaiyuan received the news, he hurriedly pulled his second brother over to discuss the matter.

After Ji Huaijin briefly listened to the situation, his face was filled with disbelief, and he argued: "I may not know all the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so how could I keep an eye on the other five departments."

"Even the imperial army and the generals guarding the south were imprisoned, and the evidence seems to be convincing." Ji Huaiyuan sighed, "The grand master specifically asked for us, saying that two of the messengers were caught, and they happened to be the ones who delivered the letter." The other party's guilt."

"This is to hurt the enemy one thousand and hurt eight hundred?" Ji Huaijin was slightly shocked.

"Now the two families are biting each other, saying that they were instructed by others to present evidence of the other party's corruption and crimes."

"Brother, this is an opportunity."

Ji Huaiyuan said in a deep and solemn voice, "No, we can't admit anything, and they can frame us for such a trivial matter."

Now that the enemy is in the dark, and Ji Muqing is still in a coma, it is indeed risky to act rashly.Ji Huaijin thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That makes sense."

"You and I, brothers, try our best to speak to everyone, and don't let His Highness the Crown Prince come forward." Ji Huaiyuan urged again.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Ji Huaiyuan looked serious, "To lay such a big game of chess, their purpose is not just to bring down the Ji family."

Sure enough, at the court meeting that followed, after the Ministry of Punishment reported the progress of the investigation, it was Yu Shitai's turn to chatter.Apart from the submission of the criminal evidence of the accused officials, the main point of the attack was still directed at the Ji family who secretly sent people to monitor all the officials and acted on their behalf.

After Ji Huaiyuan carefully listened to Shi Yushi's remarks, he quickly argued with reason and resolutely denied the matter.

The censor, Feng Cheng, had already attended Ji Muqing before.That time he was finally led by the nose by Ji Huaiyuan, and he was laughed at by his colleagues for a long time afterwards.But this time, when he looked at the wat board full of words, he suddenly felt a little confident.

Sensing that the direction of the debate was becoming more and more wrong, Ji Huaiyuan decided to clarify his position again.But before he could say anything, Feng Cheng's sudden words left all civil and military officials speechless, "Now the Ministry of Criminal Justice has not yet found out who installed those three gangsters in the palace, but I feel that General Ji left the scene midway without a reason. It's also one of the doubts, maybe he directed and acted all of this."

"What is my son trying to do?" Ji Huaiyuan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he didn't even need to address him modestly.

Xiao Beichen also lowered the corner of his mouth and stared at it.

"It is said that General Ji is about to hand over the military power, and what he did this time may be dissatisfied with the emperor."

"Nonsense." Ji Huaiyuan sneered twice, "My son's resignation of military power is to accept a greater honor. Why should he be so indiscriminate."

"What Weichen said is indeed true. The reason why the Ministry of Criminal Justice can't find out now is because everyone didn't think about it at all." Feng Cheng straightened his back, "And then the Ji family immediately handed over the guilt of all the ministers, How can this be explained?"

Going around, the other party still firmly believes that the reporting of officials was done by the Ji family.Ji Huaiyuan closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.

At this time, there were also other comments among the officials: "The Ji family is still a victim now, why bother to involve irrelevant people, the imperial court will give an explanation."

Someone echoed: "Yes, yes."

Ji Huaiyuan looked around silently.Although individuals have their own ideas, there are also clear and bright officials among the officials.But the family couldn't produce any evidence to prove their innocence. With preconceived notions, the Ji family has indeed committed public outrage.

Up to now, the only way to advance is to retreat.Ji Huaiyuan knelt down and said earnestly: "The Ji family has never had any dissatisfaction with the emperor and the court, and the Ji family will never deny what the Ji family did. So far, I hope the emperor will clearly investigate." He paused After a pause, he continued: "I am willing to present the black yarn to be fair." After finishing speaking, he knocked heavily.

Ji Huaijin also followed suit, "I am also willing to present the black yarn, in order to be fair."

After speaking, the hall was dead silent.

In the corner, Xiao Mingxuan's downcast eyes became brighter and brighter.If the monarch really suspends his duties to investigate the members of the Ji family, in a short period of time, as long as the matter is not found out, the Ji family will not be able to take any action in the court.In this way, he was given an opportunity.

After a while, Xiao Beichen walked to the center of the court hall awe-inspiringly and said, "Father, my son is willing to protect the Ji family."

Ji Huaiyuan, who was still kneeling on the spot, sighed secretly, that he still had to go this far.

Xiao Tianze on the throne was speechless for a long time.Seeing that there is nothing unusual in the palace these days, he is no longer angry.But he just took some medicine a few days ago, and he only had a good night's sleep yesterday, so he listened to the noise from all the officials this morning, and he still endured it for a long time.

He was deliberating what decision to make when he saw Xue Tao trotting in a hurry to report from the corner of his eye.After hearing Xue Tao whisper a few words, Xiao Tianze's face gradually turned pale.He took a deep breath and asked, "Dead?"

Xue Tao shook his head, "I don't know, but some onlookers came to the palace gate to confirm that Miss Ji was stabbed in the heart by that crazy woman."

"Tell the imperial doctor!" Xiao Tianze was in a daze, he still remembered Ji Muxi's fearless eyes on the night of the palace banquet.

"The slave has already passed it on." Xue Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead, fearing that there would be another incident, so he resigned and went to confirm.

After the people left, Xiao Tianze calmed down on the throne, he couldn't think of the previous disputes among the ministers in his mind. "Okay, let's discuss this matter again." He looked at the two kneeling at the bottom, and said quickly, "You two lovers, let's make up our own minds."

Xiao Beichen raised his head in a daze, "Father?" But before he finished speaking, Xiao Tianze got up and left.At the same time, the messenger eunuch was already waiting anxiously outside the palace.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen received further news in Qinghui Hall.

"Miss Ji's mother was born in the general family. When Miss Ji was young, she made her wear soft armor next to her body, so that crazy woman didn't pierce her flesh and blood at all." Mo Yu got the letter from Ji's mansion, and quickly returned to the palace to report her safety. .

He talked about the whole story again, "It is said that those old parents went to Ji's mansion to plead for mercy after leaving the Ministry of Justice, hoping to save the last life. But how could the two wives deal with the savagery of the market, and in the end it was Miss Ji. arguing. It's just..."

Xiao Beichen felt relieved when he heard that he was fine.Seeing that he hesitated to speak in the end, I asked him to speak boldly.

Mo Yu's tone was a little helpless, "It's just that Ms. Ji seems to like to make things big, so she fell down on the spot at that time, and sent someone to send a letter and specially asked to add 'in danger', and now I heard that she is still crying in the mansion. Woolen cloth."

Xiao Beichen was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help saying to himself: "It's the same." He shook his head and asked, "Why are you crying?"

"Crying..." Mo Yu paused again, "General Crying Ji threw the mess to her, and went off to be happy."

These words made Xiao Beichen choke.Ji Muqing has been raised in his dormitory for the past few days. There is a reason for the incident, but it cannot be said to be happy.He coughed twice, glanced at the back room, and said in a deep voice: "This hall knows."

After a while, he talked about the officials who had been with Yushitai before.

"Those books that claim to be embezzled can be found to be fake ten years ago." Xiao Beichen has always been skeptical about the crimes presented, "For example, the minister of the Ministry of Industry is one of the few in the Ministry of Industry. One of the people who can lead the way. On weekdays, he personally goes to the construction site with the craftsmen, and most of the salary given to him by the imperial court is paid to the craftsmen, and there is no private land in his hands."

Mo Yu was puzzled, "What about the two officials who reported on each other? Why were these two people found sending letters?"

"If my hall guessed correctly, I can find the East Palace from them." Xiao Beichen's lips curled slightly, "The other party is going to pull me to this hall from the very beginning."

Mo Yu clasped his hands tightly, "Master, the person behind this is really vicious, and this disturbance will destabilize Chao Gang. If this person is King Ning..."

"Hush——" Xiao Beichen raised his hand to stop it, just as he also heard some noises in the back room, "Since the father and king have said to reconsider, then the Yushitai will conduct a strict investigation for a few days before arguing."

Afterwards, he gave a few more instructions before returning to behind the screen, where a man with clear eyes was quietly waiting for him.

Seeing that he finally came in, the person sitting on the couch slowly showed a smile, and rang the bell hanging on the red curtain very loudly, "Ah Chen."
