Not long after, the emperor arrived, and his expression was not very good.

In fact, the emperor regretted it on the second day after the imperial decree was issued. He felt that he was too impulsive. Talented, but there are some things that are not enough just to be talented. Besides, his ability is not reflected in handling cases.

It was that none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were willing to take up the job that day, and he was furious at the time. Later, Yijing recommended Gu Daoxin, and after saying so many compliments, he agreed.If you agree, just agree, why did you write down such an imperial decree again?If the murderer is not found and demoted to a commoner, isn't he going to lose a loyal minister and talent?

The emperor is so regretful, every time he thinks about what happened that day, he complains to Lu Yijing in his heart.

He also figured it out later, after all, his son knew it himself, and he also knew that there was some unhappiness between Gu Daoxin and Yijing, but he didn't expect that Yijing would do this, and use this kind of thing to design Gu Daoxin for his own selfishness. , It will also cause the court to lose a talent!

So during this period of time, the emperor didn't have a good look at Lu Yijing. He used to like to invite Lu Yijing into the palace to talk, but now he rarely did so, but he didn't call Lu Yihong too often, and Lu Yicheng saw him a few times more.In the past, I only thought that Yicheng was playful and unmotivated, but now I see that he is extremely filial.

The emperor also sent someone to follow up on Gu Daoxin's situation, and when he learned that Gu Daoxin hadn't done anything after surveying the scene on the first day, he also had a bad guess in his heart like those ministers, so he couldn't help being somewhat disappointed with Gu Daoxin.After all, you are young, and you can't calm down when doing things.

It was almost time to go to court, and Eunuch Liao was already clearing his throat. At this time, Gu Daoxin walked into the hall slowly.

Everyone looked at the past in unison, with different expressions.

Among them, Lu Yihong's eyes were the most worried. He was worried about Gu Daoxin, and sent many people to help Gu Daoxin, but in the end Gu Daoxin turned them back.

Lu Yihong was so anxious that he wanted to make Gu Daoxin suffer, but he was still reluctant. In the end, he could only investigate secretly, but after a few days, there was still no clue.Gu Daoxin didn't do anything, so what could he find?

Lu Yijing smiled strangely, and now he was waiting to see Gu Daoxin be punished.I don't know what's wrong with my father these two days, I always teach him a lesson, and even punish him for a long time, even fined his salary, but it's just a small matter of beating and scolding palace officials, it happened often in the past, but I didn't see him anymore How did the emperor react.Lu Yijing only thought it was the emperor's trouble with the case, but he was not happy that he was being used to vent his anger, and he didn't see his father scolding Lu Yihong very much!

Lu Yijing held his breath in his heart, waiting to see Gu Dao's heart shattered so that he could feel better.

Anyway, Gu Daoxin finally showed up, and the emperor's face looked better.He also wanted to find a compromise, to see if he could discount the imperial decree, as long as Gu Daoxin could tell some valuable news, he would not dismiss Gu Daoxin from his official position.

"Gu Aiqing, what's the progress of the two-day investigation? How do you plan to investigate today? Tomorrow morning is the three-day deadline, and there is still time."

Gu Daoxin cupped his hands and saluted, "Report to Your Majesty, I have found the murderer."

The emperor was overjoyed, "Oh? Who is it? Tell me!"

"It was Jian Zong, the number one swordsman of the Kingdom of Chen who went to Dayan with Shang Jing back then."

"Gu Daoxin, don't talk nonsense, then Jian Zong came here to protect Shang Jing, so how could he kill him?" Lu Yijing sneered, "I don't think you can find out the murderer, so just bite people randomly?"

Gu Daoxin looked at Lu Yijing coldly, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Your Highness has not finished speaking, Your Highness, don't rush to refute, or you may be misunderstood. Your Highness recommends this official to investigate the case not because of trust in him, but because of his trust." It's a private revenge, and I want the subordinate official to be punished by His Majesty for failing to find out the real culprit."

After the words fell, the others couldn't help looking at Lu Yijing, and many of them had expressions of disdain and dissatisfaction.

Most people know about the quarrel between Lu Yijing and Gu Daoxin. When Lu Yijing recommended Gu Daoxin, many people guessed his real purpose, and today they understand the part that they didn't guess.

The dignified prince actually framed the minister because of personal grievances, and what's more, he used the important issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries as a raft, without any perspective on the overall situation!Even Lu Yicheng, who is younger than him and has just been named the county king not long ago, is much more stable and sensible than him!Now I heard that Gu Daoxin had found the murderer, and before he finished speaking, he said that he was talking nonsense. Even if Sima Zhaozhi's heart is known to everyone, this gesture is too ugly.

The emperor scolded Lu Yijing heavily, "Shut up yet!"

This was the first time that the emperor reprimanded Lu Yijing in front of all the officials in the court hall. The officials big and small looked at each other in blank dismay, even Lu Yihong was quite surprised.

It was only now that everyone recalled, it seems that they don't know when, His Majesty's attitude towards King Jing is no longer as friendly as before.

The emperor himself didn't realize it, and turned his gaze to Gu Daoxin, who was much more kind, "Gu Aiqing said that Jian Zong did it, is there any evidence?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the evidence is naturally there, otherwise I wouldn't be able to slander him as a murderer with empty teeth."

As Gu Daoxin spoke, he glanced at Lu Yijing with a smile.

Lu Yijing who was provoked really wanted to fight back, but when he thought of his father's reprimand just now, he held back forcefully, thinking that if Gu Daoxin failed to produce any weighty evidence, he would never let him go so easily.

Gu Daoxin slowly took out a cloth bag from his bosom, opened it bit by bit, and saw a jade pendant lying on the silk handkerchief, "Please take a look, Your Majesty."

The emperor stretched his neck to look, but the distance was too far, and he could only see a red jade pendant, so he waved his hand, and Eunuch Liao went down in small steps, took the jade pendant from Gu Daoxin, and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor didn't take it, but just looked at Eunuch Liao's hand, his face suddenly changed.

"Where did you get this thing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I went to see Shang Jing's corpse the day before yesterday. I don't know how to do an autopsy, but I feel that my eyesight is better than ordinary people, so I wanted to see if I could find some other clues on the corpse. With a heart, Wei Chen found a silver silk thread in the gap between Shang Jing's fingernails. Shang Jing was wearing royal blue clothes on the day he was killed, and there was no silver thread embroidery on his body, so Wei Chen speculated that the silk thread It should be that when Shang Jing was assassinated, he grabbed the murderer's clothes and left them between the nails."

The emperor nodded approvingly, "Gu Aiqing is really careful."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise. Afterwards, I inspected the scene again with two colleagues from the Ministry of Punishment. Finally, I found this jade pendant that happened to be stuck there in the corner of the bed. The tassels under the jade pendant were silver-white. After comparison, it was compared with Shang Jing. The silver thread in the gap between the nails is exactly the same. Therefore, the official judged that after being stabbed, Shang Jing should have grabbed a handful of the jade pendant on Jian Zong's waist, not only leaving the silver thread on the tassel in the gap between the nails, but also Pulled the jade pendant off directly. It was only because the bed was soft that the jade pendant fell on the bed without making a sound, and then rolled to the corner, Jian Zong didn't notice it. "

"Then how can you explain that the jade pendant is simple? It's just a piece of red jade with a bad color. I want as many as I want in my palace! Do you still want to say that it is the envoy of Chen Kingdom killed by this king?"

Lu Yijing still couldn't take it any longer, he recommended Gu Daoxin to make Gu Daoxin embarrassing and punish him, not to make him show off here!

"Bastard!" The emperor slapped the dragon chair violently, the muscles on his cheeks trembling with anger, "You can't keep your mouth shut, can you? Go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and don't ask about the government anymore!"

Lu Yijing was stunned. He didn't expect that his father, who always loved him, not only scolded him in the court, but also refused to let him participate in the government. How can he not participate?At that time, the entire court will not be Lu Yihong's world.

"Father!"

"Not going back yet!"

Lu Yijing was dumbfounded by the emperor's yelling, and finally Eunuch Liao sent someone to leave with Lu Yijing.

The emperor felt uncomfortable, it was really hard to understand how his once favorite child turned into the ineffective state he is now.

Gu Daoxin bowed his head and did not speak. He just talked so eloquently on purpose just now, and from time to time he provoked Lu Yijing with his eyes when the emperor was not paying attention. He knew that Lu Yijing would not be able to hold back and speak again.No matter how much the emperor liked Lu Yijing, he would not let him be so presumptuous in the court, and he still showed his stupidity in tricks.Just now some courtiers saw that it was Qiansihong, but Lu Yijing didn't notice it when he was so close. It wasn't a matter of bad eyesight.

"Qiansihong, with this jade pendant, it is enough to prove that the murderer is Jian Zong."

"Your Majesty, that's exactly the case. That Jian Zong is Dayan's number one swordsman, and it is impossible for others to take the jade pendant from him. When Weichen re-examined the scene of the crime, he also found that there was no trace of fighting in the room, and the body was buried It was found on the side of the bed again, so it can be concluded that the murderer must be familiar with Shang Jing, Shang Jing will be unprepared, and it is in that position to meet Japanese people. In addition, since Shang Jing was killed, Jian Zong has not appeared again However, the possibility of absconding in fear of crime is extremely high. With this jade pendant now, it proves that he is the most likely murderer."

"Master Gu is right," an official next to him immediately stood up and echoed, "I have heard before that the Emperor of the Kingdom of Chen valued his guard Jian Zong very much, and he gave Jian Zong the royal family's Qiansihong as a gift. It is made into a jade pendant and needs to be worn on the body. Emperor Chen certainly did not expect that one day this thousand silk red would become the evidence to convict Jian Zong."

Another person stood up and did not forget to take advantage of this good time to flatter him, "Your Majesty is mighty, if His Majesty hadn't chosen Mr. Gu to investigate this case, and Mr. Gu is so careful, it is really impossible to let Jane escape. It's over."
