After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty

After Jing Yu interrogated De Fang, he ordered someone to sort out his statement, and planned to go to the palace to meet Emperor Longqing.

When he came out of the inner prison, he saw a familiar figure standing in the yard waiting for him.

Han Yucheng stood alone in front of the courtyard with his sleeves on his shoulders, without any entourage by his side. When he saw Jing Yu coming out, he smiled and said hello: "Marquis Ning'an, the prisoner's interrogation is over?"

Jing Yu approached, with no expression on his face, "Yes, I was planning to go to the palace to report the case to the emperor, and Prime Minister Han also came to the inner prison for business?"

"No, I'm waiting for you." Han Yucheng raised his hand and pointed to an empty ear room next to him, "Can Marquis Ning'an take a step to speak?"

Jing Yu glanced at Han Yucheng lightly, walked straight to the ear room without saying anything.

Han Yucheng followed closely, and the two entered the ear room together. Although there was no one outside the door, Han Yucheng still closed the door. Seeing his guilty look, Jing Yu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said coldly: " If Prime Minister Han has anything to ask me, you might as well get straight to the point."

Han Yucheng smiled and said, "Ning'an Marquis is quick to speak, so I won't go around the bush. Presumably you should have been interrogated by the eunuch De Fang. He once sent an anonymous letter to Concubine Han, right?"

Jing Yu said calmly, "So what?"

Han Yucheng raised his eyebrows, "Then you plan to report the truth to the emperor?"

Jing Yu didn't answer, but just looked at Han Yucheng expressionlessly, his eyes were bright and upright, Han Yucheng looked at him like this, he felt like he had done something wrong but was caught straight, what next The words that he said suddenly became stuck in his throat.

But no matter how soundproof he was, he still had to say something. Han Yucheng gritted his teeth secretly, looked at Jing Yu with a smirk and said, "Although the imperial concubine received the letter, I don't know who the informer is, and I don't have any real evidence. Zhang Shuyi could be identified, that's why I didn't report to the emperor in time. The imperial concubine actually ordered people to investigate this matter secretly, but the speed was not as fast as the emperor's grandson. The emperor is already worried about this case every day, so the truth is that it is not important Letting the emperor know about the matter will only increase troubles, why not mention it, what does Marquis Ning An think?"

"It turns out that this is not an important matter in Han Xiang's eyes?" Jing Yu sneered, "Then why did Concubine Han not report to the emperor when she received the anonymous letter, but she only told Han Xiang you?"

Han Yucheng calmly said: "The imperial concubine felt that this matter was strange, so she consulted with me and ordered me to investigate secretly. It is reasonable and reasonable. What's the problem?"

Jing Yu stared into Han Yucheng's eyes and asked, "Then how did King Lie hear the news?"

Han Yucheng pretended to be ignorant, "Who said King Lie heard about it? Didn't King Lie keep claiming that he didn't know about it?"

Jing Yu looked coldly at Han Yucheng's pretentiousness, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and said, "When did Prime Minister Han, who has always been thoughtful and thoughtful, become so naive that he would actually believe that King Lie is innocent? Just imagine if the emperor's grandson really wanted to kill Germany Fang Mikou, how could it be possible for him to take advantage of the opportunity to escape and identify the grandson of the emperor, this is obviously a countermeasure."

"What Marquis Ning'an means is that the Lie Wang knows about all this?" Han Yucheng frowned slightly, as if he was thinking, and guessed, "It may be that Wang Youcheng saw that Yongyi Palace was sealed, and was afraid that the paper would not be able to contain the fire. That's why I asked Lie Wang for help."

"But Wang Youcheng didn't know about De Fang. Even if King Lie wanted to help him cover up his crimes, he was targeting Chunzhi and Zhang Shuyi. Why did he find De Fang who wrote the informant letter?" On the German side, someone revealed the content of the informant letter to King Lie, so King Lie went to the informer. Han Xiang, do you think I am right?"

Han Yucheng raised his chin, with a half-smile on his face, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any real evidence for the Marquis of Ning'an to say this?"

Jing Yu tilted his head and sneered silently, "No, these are all my guesses."

"There is no evidence, it's just guesswork. The truth kindly reminds Marquis Ning'an," Han Yucheng said with a deeper smile, "Our emperor is suspicious. You'd better not mention your conjectures to the emperor. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the emperor, thinking that you are trying to exonerate the emperor's grandson."

Jing Yu glanced at Han Yucheng mockingly, "I didn't intend to tell the emperor about this at first, it's just that some people have a guilty conscience and messed up their own way."

Hearing Jing Yu's mocking of him, Han Yucheng didn't feel annoyed on his face, and said with an authentic expression: "Thank you so much, I have accepted the favor of Marquis Ning An. Don't bother me, I will leave."

Han Yucheng flicked up his clothes, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Jing Yu whispering behind him: "You owe me more than just this favor."

Han Yucheng stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked at Jing Yu from the corner of his eye, "What do you mean by that?"

"Last year, the emperor received a whistleblower letter. It was revealed that [-]% of Longhai County's annual salt tax was embezzled by officials and filled his own pockets. The emperor ordered me to go to Longhai County to investigate the salt affairs. As a result, I was assassinated on the way back to Beijing. The salt account book The whereabouts are unknown, which has led to the delay in the conclusion of the case." Jing Yu said unhurriedly, "Mr. Han doesn't think this matter is over? After I returned to Beijing, I never gave up sending people to secretly track down the whereabouts of the account book. , As a result, I followed the clues and found an aide in the East Palace. It turned out that [-]% of the salt tax went into the East Palace every year to win over officials. Guess, Han Xiang, who is that aide?"

Han Yucheng was silent for a while, "Who?"

Jing Yu said: "The man's surname is Ouyang, he is the son of the late great scholar Ouyang Ming, and Ouyang Ming seems to be Han Xiang's mentor before his death."

Han Yucheng finally turned around and looked at Jing Yu coldly, "So? He is the son of my mentor, so you think he has something to do with me? Is this also your wishful thinking, Marquis Ning An?"

"It's not speculation this time, I already have conclusive evidence." Jing Yu walked to Han Yucheng's side and looked sideways at Han Yucheng, "The reason why I haven't brought out the evidence is because I know that Han Xiang is now with me. , We are working together under the same master, from now on, it is best to be peaceful and peaceful, if Han Xiang vainly tries to blackmail His Highness Prince Xi to satisfy his own selfish desires, then don't blame me for not showing affection. This is all I have to say, so I can do it myself."

After finishing speaking, Jing Yu took a step ahead of Han Yucheng, opened the door and strutted out of the ear room.

Han Yucheng turned around slowly, looked at Jing Yu's leaving back, his complexion was as deep as a cold pool, his black eyes were full of hostility, and he muttered to himself: "If I knew today, I should have cut the weeds and rooted them out that day, and I wouldn't do it today." It will feed tigers."

-

After meeting with Han Yucheng, Jing Yu went directly to the palace to see Emperor Longqing, and reported the ins and outs of the case to Emperor Longqing in detail.

Because of this case, Emperor Longqing could not sleep day and night, and his mental outlook became visibly haggard to the naked eye. No matter how much tonic elixir he took, it was hard to hide the tiredness between his brows.

After all, it is already a dying age, no matter how carefully maintained and recuperated, it is still not worth the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death.

If this case happened when Emperor Longqing was young, the emperor at that time acted vigorously and said one thing, whoever dared to be disobedient, or killed or abolished, would never be soft-hearted, but now that he is old, Duan Wuji and Lie Wang, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. Although he hates his children and grandchildren for plotting against him, he is reluctant to deal with it too harshly.

"So, this is all a trap set by the emperor's grandson to frame the king?" After knowing the truth, Emperor Longqing leaned back on the dragon chair weakly, the muscles on his face relaxed, as if he had aged several times in an instant. He suddenly thought of something, and asked in a dull voice, "Does King Lie know?"

Jing Yu stood opposite Emperor Longqing, looked down at the floor tiles in front of him, and said in a slow and unhurried manner: "Return to the emperor, it is not yet certain. But I feel that although the German side claimed to be hunted down by the emperor's grandson, , but the minister thought that this matter was a bit strange. Since it was a murder to silence the public, how could the emperor's grandson be so careless, not only leaking his identity, but also allowing an eunuch who had no martial arts skills to escape, as if he deliberately released the German side? Go, so that he can be used as a witness to identify the emperor's grandson. Please give me two more days from the emperor, and I will definitely find out the truth and give the emperor a satisfactory answer!"

Now that this is the case, does it matter what the truth is?

The reason why the emperor's grandson and Lie Wang's uncle and nephew fought like this is also because Emperor Longqing let things go like this in the past.

Emperor Longqing closed his eyes, rubbed the center of his brows with his hands, and thought to himself, he is already at this age, and he still has a few more years to live. If the uncle and nephew are allowed to fight again, after a hundred years, he will be able to live. Aren't the two going to fight until either you die or I die?One is a son, the other is a grandson, and Emperor Longqing is of course reluctant to part with either death.

Emperor Longqing came to a conclusion in his mind, put down his hands and opened his eyes to look at Jing Yu and said, "I know what's in my mind, this case ends here, there is no need to investigate any further."

Jing Yu cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order." After a pause, he raised his eyes to look at Emperor Longqing's slumped face, and said, "Your Majesty, I still have something to say from the bottom of my heart, but it may be a bit presumptuous, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Emperor Longqing understood Jing Yu's temperament, he was not the kind of flattering official, and he was very upset now, and wanted to hear what Jing Yu wanted to say, so he waved his hand, "Say, I forgive you for your innocence .”

Jing Yu bowed respectfully first, and said in a deep voice: "I want to say that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If two tigers do not want to fight, the best way is to prevent the two tigers from seeing each other."

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers..." Emperor Longqing savored this sentence carefully, and suddenly asked Jing Yu, "Then, of these two tigers, which one should I give up and which one should I keep?"

Jing Yu looked straight into Emperor Longqing's eyes, and said: "I dare not say anything, the emperor is the master of the world, and the choice is up to the emperor's sacred heart. The only thing to consider is how to preserve the Daliu Jiangshan for generations to come. Throughout the ages, in the past dynasties, there have been countless examples of royal brothers turning against each other, and uncles and nephews killing each other. I also ask the emperor to make a decision early for the stability of the country!"

Jing Yu's words immediately touched Emperor Longqing's heart. He could turn a blind eye to the rivalry between Duan Wuji and King Lie, but their struggle must not shake the country of Daliu, otherwise, He became a sinner of the Duan family, so why would he have the face to go underground to meet the previous emperors of Da Liu.

Just as Emperor Longqing was contemplating, the Wang Neiguan suddenly came in from outside the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Xi has come down and said he came to ask the Emperor when he should leave for Baiyue."

Jing Yu frowned, and stared at Emperor Longqing even more intensely. When Emperor Longqing heard that Bai Jin had helped him, he suddenly thought, sat up straight with his hands on the desk, waved his sleeves and said, "Let King Xi first Go back and call the crown prince, the prime minister and the six ministers to discuss matters in the imperial study!"

When Jing Yu heard this, his brows loosened, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted up and down.

Emperor Longqing hurriedly summoned his ministers to re-discuss the candidate for the hostage, so Jing Yu left the palace first and came to the gate of the palace. He saw that the carriage of Prince Xi's mansion had not left, and was still parked there, as if waiting for someone.

Now Jing Yu could finally stop worrying about his left and right gazes, bent his lips involuntarily, walked briskly towards the carriage of Prince Xi's Mansion, went outside the window, first raised his hand and knocked twice on the carriage, and asked: "His Royal Highness, who are you waiting for?"

The curtains of the car were lifted from the inside, and Bai Jinfu's face was exposed, squinting a pair of clever and cunning peach blossom eyes, and looked at Jing Yu's face for a while, then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Look at the Marquis of Ning'an!" With such an unconcealable look of joy on his face, it must have been done?"

Jing Yu's handsome eyebrows stretched out, and he said with a faint smile, "The emperor has already summoned important officials into the palace to discuss matters. If there is no accident, it is likely to be completed in eight or nine out of ten."

Bai Jinfu's eyes lit up, and joy immediately showed from the corners of his eyes and brows. He stretched out his hand from the car window and patted Jing Yu's shoulder impatiently, "I really have you! I must remember your great contribution!"

Jing Yu quickly pressed Bai Jinfu's hand, not allowing him to withdraw his hand, and stared at Bai Jinfu with fiery black eyes, "Then, Your Highness, when are you going to reward meritorious deeds?"
