When Xia Jiang entered the palace, he did not send someone to inform King Yu of what had just happened. It was not that he temporarily forgot that he had this secret ally, but because according to the original plan, King Yu at this time should right in the palace.
Emperor Liang's health has not been very good since the winter of last year. In addition to his daily life in the Wuying Hall, where he manages politics, he also stays in Zhiluo Palace, and only occasionally goes to the Queen and other concubines' palaces. When King Yu entered the palace, he took a nap and was still a little tired. He didn't want to see anyone. Later, he heard that King Yu had specially come to report the auspiciousness.
The auspicious auspiciousness reported by King Yu is a strange stone, obtained from the construction of land by farmers in Qinzhou. It is rectangular in shape, three feet wide, five feet long, and about two feet high. Words are indeed rare. Although Emperor Liang was not particularly fond of auspicious auspiciousness, he was happy to see it. In addition, Yu Wang Songsheng had touted a carload of words, and was aroused by his interest. Let them check the auspicious records of the past dynasties. Half a day later, the results were reported, saying that only when Emperor Shengwen ever had a record of "Fen water fell, strange stones came out, and heaven bestowed Liang An", and then the war in the north was over, and the world was in great peace. Emperor Shengwen was buried with strange stones when he collapsed. After finding this article, Emperor Liang's seven points of joy suddenly increased to ten points. When he looked at the stone again, it was naturally more like a jewel. He instructed King Yu to carefully assign craftsmen to offer it to Rentian Pavilion with a red sandalwood frame.
King Yu complied with a smile on his face, while he took the opportunity and complimented him: "My father is a majestic and majestic, and the people praised it, and the wise kings of ancient times are nothing more than this. Since the auspiciousness has come out, and we know the destiny, why not follow the will of God and enter Lu Fengchan. What do you guys think?"
His flattery was too much, and the several senior officials of the Taishi Academy who were standing beside them didn't dare to agree, they could only laugh. Although Emperor Liang listened to his heart, he actually understood what a great event Feng Chan was. If the kings of the past dynasties did not have absolute confidence, few would dare to do it, so he only smiled and did not express his position.
But despite this, this auspicious auspiciousness still made Emperor Liang in a very good mood. Not only the King Yu, but also several old book repairers were rewarded. Everyone said something funny, and the atmosphere in the hall was very cheerful. At this moment, Xiao Huangmen, who was on duty, suddenly came in and said, "Your Majesty, Xia Shouzun asks to see you."
Emperor Liang said with a smile: "He seems to have an ear to report to God, and he came by coincidence, and let him come in to see the auspiciousness."
King Yu was already thinking about what was going on outside, but when he heard Xia Jiang's arrival, he was both happy and a little nervous, and it took a lot of effort to keep the natural smile on his face.
However, the appearance of Xia Jiang who entered the hall later shocked Emperor Liang and Prince Yu. One was surprised at the rare embarrassment of the head of the Xuanjing Division, and the other was surprised by Xia Jiang's acting skills so well, the tiredness and resentment on his face looked like it was real.
"Xia Qing, what's wrong with you?" Emperor Liang keenly sensed that something major had happened, and his face sank immediately.
"Your Majesty! I have come here to accept the crime, please forgive my incompetence..." Xia Jiang blushed and bowed to the ground, "Today, the Dali Temple in the Xuanjing Division was attacked by thugs one after another, and the ministers fought unsuccessfully. That Chiyu Camp rebel Wei Zheng... They were forcibly robbed!"
Emperor Liang couldn't believe his ears for a while, and asked again hesitantly, "What did you say?"
"Rebel Wei Zheng was forcibly robbed!"
"Jie... robbed?!" Emperor Liang slapped the imperial case in front of him, his face turned pale with anger, and pointed at Xia Jiang with a trembling hand, "You speak clearly, how could such a thing happen? Underfoot, break into the Xuanjing Division to snatch the rebels, isn't this a rebellion?! Who? Who is so rebellious and rampant?"
"Your Majesty," Xia Jiang touched the ground with his forehead and kowtowed, "The thief is cunning and fierce, this minister... Although this minister knows what he has in mind, it is a pity that he has not obtained the evidence, so he does not dare to speak falsely."
"You have something in your heart that you are still hiding? Say it! Tell me quickly!!"
"Yes," Xia Jiang straightened up, wiping the sweat dripping down his chin, and said, "After Wei Zheng was captured by his ministers, who would sympathize and protect him, Your Majesty naturally knows. When escaping, the patrol camps were scattered all over the streets and alleys, but instead of helping the ministers to catch the thieves, they created chaos in the name of catching the thieves, indulging in the rebels, and blocking the soldiers of my hanging mirror, so that the ministers could not pursue them at all…”
"Isn't it?" King Yu's shocked expression at this time was not entirely fake. He was really surprised by the result of "really robbed", but fortunately, he responded quickly and immediately restarted After making a role correction, he deliberately said ironically, "King Jing is usually a little naive, but he is not so daring! Robbery is a big crime, not to mention Wei Zheng is a rebellious criminal, isn't King Jing crazy?"
Emperor Liang felt as if the blood all over his body was pouring on his head, his forehead was hot, his limbs were cold, and he was so angry that he could not speak for a while. Gao Zhan hurried over to pat his back and rub his chest. It was trembling all over, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's the other way around, it's really the other way around, go and call King Jing! Come on!"
"Go to King Xuanjing to enter the palace!" King Yu hurriedly followed, and then rushed to Emperor Liang's side in three steps and two steps, handing tea and beating his back diligently, "Father, your health is important, you have to take care... Jing Wang is such a person, you already know that in your heart..."
"There is no king and no father, he has disappointed me too much..." Emperor Liang fell from a group of joy, feeling even more angry and uncomfortable. If Prince Jing had always been the neglected and forgotten prince, maybe he would have eased a little bit in his mood, but because he thought he was a favor to this son, he was so betrayed now, and he was full of anger even more. Couldn't hold back.
Several old repair books next to them were ordered to turn over the pile of old papers. I didn't expect to bump into such a big event. Everyone was so frightened that they knelt down and didn't dare to move. I wanted to retire quickly. He had been talking half-comforting and half-provocative, waiting until it was reported that "Prince Jing has arrived", and the one headed by him found an opportunity to step forward and retire.
When King Jing came in, he was still his usual appearance, with strict clothes and a calm demeanor, and his every move carried the strength of a soldier. Although Emperor Liang's expression in the hall was obviously different from normal, he only gave a slight look of surprise, and then he still asked for an salutation as usual.
"My son sees the royal father." King Jing kowtowed down, but he didn't respond for a long time. Naturally, he couldn't get up, so he kept his posture on the ground. There was a dead silence in the hall. At this time, Emperor Liang did not speak, and no one dared to snort more.
The rigid atmosphere continued, and it was even more uncomfortable than the violent yelling. Xia Jiang pursed his lips, and stood with his eyes, nose, nose and heart in focus. King Yu was not as calm as him, but he managed to control his breathing rhythm, and watched his father's expression secretly.
Emperor Liang's eyes were fixed on Prince Jing at this moment, although the man he was staring at did not see these two sharp gazes because of his kowtow.
The silence has been too long, so long that King Yu couldn't help shaking his body. But Emperor Liang still didn't say anything, King Jing was also as motionless as a stone sculpture, his two hands resting on the ground were flat, and there was never the slightest tremor.
But this kind of stability and composure finally angered Emperor Liang. He suddenly burst out, grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it at King Jing, scolding angrily: "You traitor! Do you still have no remorse until now? ?"
King Jing didn't dodge, the teacup flew past his head, and smashed to pieces on the back porch, showing that the force was not light.
"Father, please calm your anger and teach Jingyan that it's a small matter, but hurting the dragon's body is a big deal," King Yu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and then scolded King Jing with his brother's identity, "Jingyan, don't you hurry to apologize to your father? ."
"My son has been ordered to see him, but the ceremony has not yet been completed. I don't know the origin of the crime, so I don't dare to ask for it." King Jing still bowed down and said, "My father knows that my son is stupid, and I ask him to punish him."
"Okay!" Emperor Liang pointed at him, "I will give you a chance to differentiate. You said, how would you explain the robbery of Wei Zheng in the Xuanjing Division today?"
King Jing straightened his upper body, glanced at Xia Jiang, and asked with an unexpected expression, "Wei Zheng was robbed?"
"Your Highness doesn't mean to say that you don't know, right?" Xia Jiang interjected sympathetically.
"I really don't know." King Jing answered him lightly, and then turned to Emperor Liang, "The Department of Xuanjing is directly under the imperial authority, and Erchen has no decree to supervise.
Emperor Liang snorted and said plainly, "Could it be that you sent someone to do the robbery of Wei Zheng?"
King Jing's eyebrows twitched, and his face changed immediately, "Why did the royal father say this? Robbing and robbing a prisoner is a serious crime, and my son does not dare to take it without authorization.
Of course, Xia Jiang did not expect King Jing to confess his guilt easily. Hearing what he said, he immediately asked Emperor Liang for instructions with his eyes. After getting permission, he stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness is so clean, and the old minister admires it. But the facts are there, and they cannot be deceived. Yes. Your Highness, you have deployed heavy patrolling troops in front of the Xuanjing Division gate these days, is there any such thing?"
"I am not only deploying troops around the Hanging Mirror Division. The important nodes in the capital are all arranged to arrest giant thieves, this Your Majesty knows."
"To arrest the giant robber? What an excuse." Xia Jiang sneered, "Then may I ask, Your Highness, has the giant robber been caught for so many days with great fanfare?"
"Speaking of this, I'm about to have a good talk with Xia Shouzun." King Jing raised his chin, full of momentum, "I just got a report before entering the palace. Today, I discovered the whereabouts of the giant thief, but I was caught by the Xuanjing Division's mansion during the pursuit. The soldiers scattered in the air, causing the disciples to work in vain, and I would like to ask Xia Shouzun to give me an explanation on this matter."
"It's really a wicked person to sue first..." Xia Jiang gritted his teeth slightly, "Does Your Highness think that you can confuse Sheng Ting by pulling around like this?"
"Whoever came to file the complaint first, I don't need to tell you?" King Jing counterattacked back coldly, "Xia Shouzun really has self-knowledge."
Xia Jiang's pupils shrank slightly, and there was a flash of cold front. Just as he was about to speak again, someone outside the hall suddenly panted and said, "Report to Your Majesty, this servant is under the order of the Empress, and there is an urgent matter to report..."
When Emperor Liang listened to the quarrel just now, just when he was upset, he said angrily: "If she has anything urgent, please wait!"
Prince Yu rolled his eyes and whispered into his ears: "Father, the Queen's wife has always been prudent, and has never disturbed Your Majesty for no reason. Listening to the servant's tone of voice, maybe it's really urgent?"
"Yeah," Xia Jiang also helped, "Listen to His Royal Highness King Jing's tone, it's not clear what to do here for a while. The old minister also thinks it's better to first listen to the empress's urgent matters."
Emperor Liang snorted and nodded, "Call him in."
Gao Zhan made a shrill announcement, and a green-clothed eunuch came in curled up and knelt on the ground: "The servants meet your majesty."
"What's the matter?"
"The Empress ordered the servants to report to Your Majesty. Concubine Jing committed a rebellion in the Zhiluo Palace, and was captured on the spot by the Empress. Because it is His Majesty's beloved concubine, he did not dare to deal with it without permission. Please come over and deal with it in person."
Emperor Liang was shocked. When Huo Ran got up, he turned over the table in front of him. The tea utensils fell to the ground, and even the dragon robe was splashed with tea, so frightened that the eunuchs and palace ladies who were standing in the hall hurried over to collect them, Gao Zhan even more It was his hands and feet hurriedly wiping the front of his clothes with a towel.
"You say it again," Emperor Liang ignored the chaos and stared at the eunuch who reported the news, "Who is it, is it Concubine Jing?"
The eunuch shook into a ball and replied, "Yes... it's Jing, Concubine Jing..."
"It's the other way around! It's the other way around... You mother and son... It's really the opposite!" Emperor Liang shuddered and muttered a few words, and suddenly he became ecstatic, strode down, and kicked King Jing to the ground with one foot, "What kind of thing is this? Treating you so badly, you are so heartless!" He didn't feel relieved, and kicked two more feet.
"Your Majesty... do you want to drive?" Gao Zhan hurriedly came over to support Emperor Liang's unstable body and asked in a low voice.
Emperor Liang's chest felt tight, and he was panting a little too quickly. He took a few deep breaths in a row, and then calmed down a little. He pointed at King Jing and scolded: "Little beast! You kneel here for me, and I will deal with you first. Mother, I'll deal with you again!"
Xia Jiang and Yu Wang quickly exchanged glances behind Emperor Liang, and seemed to be very satisfied with this successful timing. In order to avoid the weakening effect, both of them bowed and stood in a low-key manner, without saying a word, silently and proudly watching Emperor Liang walk away with anger.
The atmosphere in Zhiluo Palace was also tense at this time. The people who served Concubine Jing were basically expelled to the courtyard outside the temple, where they knelt on the ground in the cold wind. Queen Yan sat on the main seat facing the south of Concubine Jing's bedroom, her face was sinking like water, and there was still anger in the corners of her brows and eyes. At her feet, there was a wooden tablet that had been smashed and cracked a few times. Because the card was facing up, the words "The Spiritual Position of the Old Concubine Lin's Le Yao of the Great Liang" could be clearly seen. Connected to the west wall of the dormitory, was originally the clean room where Concubine Jing used to make offerings to the Buddha. Most of the time, it was closed, but at the moment, it was also wide open. You could see the scene where the offering table was overturned and the fruit was scattered.
Unlike Empress Yan's icy and dreary look, Concubine Jing, who silently knelt down on her head, still had her usual calm demeanor, respectful and humble, but without the slightest hint of lowliness and fear.
Emperor Liang, who rushed in angrily, saw such a scene in the first round of glances.
And the moment he saw everything in the room, he understood what was going on.
At this moment, what kind of emotional change has occurred in Emperor Liang's heart, and only he will always know, but on his face, his expression has not changed at all, it is still stern and gloomy.
"Chen and concubine see the emperor." Empress Yan came forward to greet her.
"You are in charge of the harem, why is it that things never end? What's going on here?" Emperor Liang threw out such a sentence, then threw his sleeves, walked right past her, and sat down on the main seat.
Empress Yan's eyebrows twitched, feeling that there was something wrong with the words. However, since she did get the big handle of Concubine Jing, her demeanor was still very stable.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the concubines are incompetent. Although they exhausted all their efforts to clean up the harem, they still failed to pacify all the traitors. Concubine Jing set up a private spiritual seat for the sinner Lin Leyao in the Buddhist hall, which is a big treason. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Liang glanced at her coldly and said, "What did Concubine Jing say?"
Asked by him, Empress Yan couldn't help showing a suffocated look in her eyes, apparently she had touched a soft nail just now.
"Returning to Your Majesty, Concubine Jing knew that she was guilty. After being captured, she was speechless from beginning to end."
Emperor Liang pursed the corners of his mouth. For this answer, he was both expected and a little moved, and his gaze towards Concubine Jing became softer.
Ever since Xia Jiang recalled his memories of the past, Emperor Liang had been restless for three days in a row, had palpitations at night and had nightmares. The figure of the woman floated past his eyes, making him tremble and frighten. When Concubine Jing was comforting him, she asked him if he thought of Concubine Chen and even had a dream, which touched his mind. However, the fear of Concubine Chen's death was related to the emperor's face, and Emperor Liang was reluctant to speak to outsiders, so Concubine Jing suggested that she secretly set up a memorial to appease the soul of the dead. Of course, Emperor Liang agreed immediately, and he slept soundly that night, and slept darkly until dawn. Unexpectedly, after two days of comfort, the matter of setting up spirits was revealed by the queen.
Concubine Jing, who took off her thin clothes and knelt on the cold floor, actually gave up her right to plead in order to hide the secret that the emperor did not want to be known to the public, and was willing to accept the big crime charged by the queen. Thinking of this, Emperor Liang felt a little uneasy.
Of course, it's impossible for him to take the initiative to clear the guilt for Concubine Jing because of this omission, but it is possible to find a way to protect her.
"Where did Concubine Jing set up a spirit for the Lin family?"
"In the Buddhist hall of her sleeping hall, please take a look at your majesty. Yiying fruit wine is complete, it is obviously a secret sacrifice behind closed doors."
"Since she is a closed-door secret sacrifice, she naturally did not publicize it. How did you know that when you were far away in Zhengyang Palace?"
This voice became more and more wrong, and Queen Yan couldn't help but ponder for a while: "It's Concubine Jing's maid who is not angry with her for doing this rebellious thing, and came to Zhengyang Palace to report first."
"Oh?" Emperor Liang looked around the room again, only to find that Concubine Jing's maid, Xin'er, was curled up and kneeling in an inconspicuous corner, and he hadn't seen it just now. "It is a great rebellion to sue the Lord as a slave. How can you keep such a thing in the palace, come here, drag her out and kill her with a cane!"
With the order, several sturdy eunuchs immediately stepped forward and dragged Xiner up. The little palace maid was so frightened that she screamed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me... Your Majesty... Empress... Xin'er is working for you, you have to save Xin'er. ..." The voice rang mournfully all the way, and was dragged further and further away, gradually becoming inaudible.
Empress Yan's face was flushed, and Emperor Liang's treatment was tantamount to a slap in the face, which made her, who was always good at patience, unable to bear it any longer, and stepped forward: "Your majesty and concubine accept it. When entrusting the management of the harem, it is natural to strictly forbid everything that violates the etiquette and the law. The crime of Concubine Jing is unquestionable, and the concubine, as the head of the six palaces, cannot be tolerated. Otherwise, ministers and concubines can only follow the law."
"Do you want to make an order?" Emperor Liang looked at her coldly, "You want to make an order for such a trivial matter? Do you want people in the world to say that the harem is uneasy? Peace and tranquility are the most precious things, do you understand this?"
"Your Majesty thinks it's a trivial matter, but the ministers and concubines don't dare to take it as a trivial matter. Concubine Jing set up her spirit in the inner palace and sacrificed sinners privately, which is clearly contempt for the emperor. Deal with it?"
Emperor Liang was forced into a rage by her, and he was about to attack, but he endured it again, turned to Concubine Jing and said, "Concubine Jing, do you know the guilt?"
"Chen and concubine are guilty." Concubine Jing bowed her head uprightly and said peacefully, "Chen and concubine are confused by the old feelings at the beginning, and secretly remember them. Although they do not mean to despise the emperor's prestige, they still do not conform to the rules of the palace. Please. Your Majesty convicts you."
Emperor Liang snorted coldly, patted the table, and said angrily: "The queen said you were a rebel, but you said that you were only confused by old feelings. Where is the conviction, obviously you don't know! Come on, let Concubine Jing confine Zhi Zhi. Luo Gong has thought about it, and if you haven't obtained the will, you can't leave the palace for half a step, when you think about it clearly, when will you come back to me."
"Your Majesty!" Queen Yan called out angrily and anxiously.
"I have already dealt with you as you wish, what else do you want?" Emperor Liang gave her a sideways glance, waved his hand, turned to look at the spiritual position under his feet, and cast a meaningful glance at Concubine Jing, saying: " You are now on the verge of sin, and the offerings are halved, it's messy here, clean up by yourself."
Concubine Jing's eyes flashed smartly for a moment, and then she bowed: "The minister and concubine lead the order."
"The empress has also worked hard, go back to the palace." Emperor Liang stood up with a tired look on his face, "I have a lot of things going on recently, you have to learn how to share my worries. Gao Zhan, the group of tails who came with new tributes in the new year. Feng Luosi, I asked you to give two boxes to the queen, have you sent them?"
Gao Zhan replied tactfully: "Go back to Your Majesty, I am a little late for the number of items in the warehouse today, so the slave will send someone to send it immediately."
"Just remember. Let's start driving." Emperor Liang didn't look at Concubine Jing again, and supported Gao Zhan as he walked out. Empress Yan Yili escorted her to the outside of the palace, watching Long Ran rush away, her heart was full of anger, but she had no choice but to look back at the quiet palace gate with green vines in Zhiluo Palace again, holding back her anger. Zhengyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to Wuying Hall? Or do you want to go back to Nuan Pavilion to rest?" When Long Nian came out of Fengtai Pond, he diverged. Emperor Liang hesitated for a moment, his expression uncertain.
When he just got the Queen's Report and left the Wuying Palace, he was really furious. But now that his anger towards Concubine Jing has disappeared, his anger towards King Jing has also subsided a lot. At the same time, he also became suspicious that the two incidents of King Jing and Concubine Jing would break out one after another. Now that he understood that one of them was wrong, what about the other
"Go to Wuying Palace." Emperor Liang rubbed the eyebrows between his eyes and leaned back tiredly, already starting to miss the fingers that Concubine Jing gave him a gentle massage, "This matter has to be dealt with, I still have to ask Clear."
"Yes." Gao Zhan didn't dare to talk nonsense, and gestured to tell the eunuch who had cleared the way to go out of Xinjian Gate to the right, and the imperial driver and his party quickly returned to Wuying Hall. Naturally, Xia Jiang and King Jing were still waiting. The postures of standing and kneeling had not changed. Emperor Liang looked at the footprints on King Jing's body and couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
"Father, please ask slowly, but don't get angry anymore, my son feels uncomfortable when he sees it..." King Yu hurried over to greet him after his ceremony, but Emperor Liang's relatively calm expression at the moment made him a little uneasy, and he endured it. He kept talking again and again.
"Your Majesty," Xia Jiang also asked in a low voice, not expecting Emperor Liang to appear calm after returning, "The urgent matter over the Empress..."
"The harem woman makes a fuss, it's no big deal, don't ask." Emperor Liang cut off his words in a sentence, and said solemnly, "Continue to confront each other, where did you say it?"
Xia Jiang has followed Emperor Liang for many years, and has been choked like this several times. He immediately realized that the situation was developing in a bad direction. It is very likely that the inner palace storm that was deliberately set off just now had the opposite effect.
Unexpectedly, the quiet concubine Jing has such great ability...
He paused and didn't catch the conversation, King Jing had already opened his mouth and said: "We just talked about the conflict between the Xuanjing Division's soldiers and the patrol battalion, but for the time being, no matter who is responsible for the conflict, that's all. It happened in a street, does Xia Shouzun want to say that my patrol battalion is robbing criminals on the street?"
"The soldiers of the Xuanjing Sifu were going out to chase. The thieves had already broken into the Siya before..."
"What are you kidding?" King Jing's face was as cold as iron, "Is the Xuanjing Division a place where you want to break into? Your Majesty is clear about how strong the Xuanjing Division is. Who can I have under my command? None of the government soldiers have been out without permission today. The generals are all written by the Ministry of War, and everyone may go to check it out. How good are they to break into the Xuanjing Division? Not to mention your dungeon, which has a lot of organs and a lot of progress. Who in the world doesn't know? Even if I really want to snatch Wei Zheng out of it, I have to have that ability!"
Hearing what he said, Emperor Liang also frowned, "Xia Qing, how exactly the dungeon was broken, please clarify."
Xia Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, Wei Zheng... was kidnapped at Dali Temple..."
"What?" Emperor Liang was a little dizzy, "Why is Dali Temple also involved?"
Xia Jiang didn't mention Dali Temple in front of King Jing just now. He just wanted to set up a trick to induce King Jing to mention Dali Temple first without mentioning it himself. At this point, it made him look a little embarrassed anyway.
"When the old minister came in, he had reported to His Majesty that the Xuanjing Division and the Dali Temple had been attacked one after another. Since the prisoner had been transferred to the Dali Temple for detention at that time, he was actually kidnapped at the Dali Temple."
King Jing's eyes were icy cold, and he said lightly: "Such an important prisoner is not locked up in the Xuanjing Division but in the Dali Temple. Does Xia Shouzun want to be robbed or not? Well, even if it is in Dali. What happened to the temple, does Xia Shouzun mean... My patrol camp is also creating chaos outside the Dali Temple in the name of arresting thieves, hindering your pursuit?"
Of course, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion and the soldiers of the Xuanjing Division had not clashed near Dali Temple, so Xia Jiang was at a loss for words, and King Yu couldn't help but interject: "Jingyan, I was already there when Xia Shouzun came in, he In fact, I didn't say anything, I just reported the fact that the imperial father was robbed and the patrol camp obstructed the pursuit outside the Xuanjing Division. As for the suspicion that you are the person assigned behind the scenes, that is the father emperor Yingming saw the essence at a glance, so he announced You come to confront, if you are innocent, just refute each sentence, why are you so aggressive towards Xia Shouzun?"
King Jing sneered, "Was Brother Yu at the scene when the crime happened?"
King Yu was taken aback by his question: "Where am I?"
"Is that brother Yu Wang in charge of Wei Zheng's case?"
King Yu was stunned again, "No, no..."
"Since Brother Yu is not an eyewitness, and he is not the chief judge, he should have nothing to do with this matter. What are you worried about when the royal father is here?"
King Yu didn't expect King Jing's attitude to be so tough, his face turned blue, and then he turned to see that Emperor Liang was thinking, his heart was even more anxious, he couldn't help but shouted: "King Jing! Sure enough. I'm your imperial brother, you talk to me like this? With your lawless temper, I don't think you can escape! Who is Wei Zheng, the lieutenant of Lin Shu who sinned against Lin Shu? A good friend can wear a pair of trousers, who doesn't know? Except for you, who can make such a big noise in this whole capital?"
Xia Jiang was relieved after being so distracted by King Yu. He knew that the transfer to Dali Temple was his own fault. Of course, his vicious thoughts could not be said in front of the emperor, so he hurried up before Emperor Liang asked. Before kneeling down, he said: "Your Majesty, I know that I have not obtained the evidence, so I don't want to talk about it, but His Majesty ordered the minister to say it, and the minister dared not say it. But in the face of such a crime, His Royal Highness King Jing will naturally try his best to differentiate, so If the quarrel continues, there will never be any result, but only annoy Your Majesty. But... such a big event as a robbery, cannot be ignored because it is difficult to investigate. People are lost at the hands of the Xuanjing Secretary, and the old minister is duty-bound. I don’t have the face to see Your Majesty until I get to the bottom of it. It’s just that the situation is complicated and involves the dignitaries of the royal family. The old minister would like to ask for a favor, so as not to be obstructed during the investigation of related persons.”
Emperor Liang glanced at King Jing and pondered for a while. He is now suspicious, but this matter really touches his bottom line. In any case, he must make it clear that he doesn't care who will be wronged in the process.
"Then Xia Qing will be in charge of the in-depth investigation. But... the Jingyan mansion confirmed that the person who did not go out today should not be tried. If you want to move his subordinates, you should tell him beforehand. Jingyan, you are the most suspicious now. Also understand. If Xia Qing told you in advance who was going to be arraigned, you must not stop it."
Xiao Jingyan's face was tense, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only kowtow: "My son leads the order."
"Thank you so much, Your Highness Prince Jing." Xia Jiang's face flashed a cold smile that seemed to be soaked in the poisonous water of hell, and deliberately said word by word, "Now I want to bring an important person to the Xuanjing Division. , Your Majesty, please allow me to retire. I'm afraid to go a step late, this person saw the opportunity early, and has already fled in fear of crime... "
"Oh," Liang Di raised his eyebrows and looked at him curiously, "Who are you talking about?"
"Su Zhe." Xia Jiang stared at King Jing's eyes when he spat out these two words, "If this person's mouth can be pried open, no matter how complicated it is, I'm afraid he can explain it clearly."
