After all the officials had finished circulating, there was no sound in the entire hall, and the atmosphere became extremely dull, as if a dark cloud was covering the top, and a storm was coming.
Bailijue raised his eyebrows, looked at the officials below, broke the silence, and said, "My dear friends, which of these two memorials do you think is true? Which one should I believe?"
When this question was asked, no one dared to stand up and answer. All the officials lowered their heads, acting as pillars, and remained silent.
"Li Aiqing, what do you think?" Bailijue asked by name.
"Your Majesty, I think that Xia Yuanzheng is biting and slandering Prince Rui in order to absolve himself of the crime. Please look into it!" Li Wenchang knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice.
Now that things have come to an end, it's natural that he's bitten to death and can't admit it! As long as Xia Yuanzheng couldn't let the emperor see the soldiers in the fief with his own eyes, and couldn't see those weapons and arrows, it could be said to be slander.
"Oh. It seems that this is Li Aiqing's opinion." Bai Lijue said lightly, then looked at Chen Jingsheng, and said, "Uncle, what do you think? Those things were really done by my good brother, Prince Rui ?"
Chen Jingsheng took a deep breath, stepped out, took a step forward, and said, "Report to Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and it is not easy to jump to conclusions, it must be strictly investigated."
"Uncle is right." Bailijue nodded and replied, "Then I will obey uncle and investigate this matter thoroughly. As for the candidate, I think only uncle is qualified!"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. After all, the identity of the minister is here." Chen Jingsheng's head grew dizzy when he heard this, and he quickly refused.
No matter what, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of troublesome thing, not to mention his own sister, the queen mother was so close to Prince Rui, if he accepted this kind of thing, he would definitely receive all kinds of punishment Clamp.
Chen Jingsheng was naturally unwilling to return to the southeast border and stay in this chaotic court.
"Uncle, don't delay! You have made great military achievements, whether you are among hundreds of officers and soldiers, or among ordinary people, you are very prestigious and convincing. What's more, you are me and Rui. Uncle Wang, there is no one more suitable than you. I think you will handle this matter properly." Bai Lijue said.
At this time, several courtiers who were loyal to the emperor came out one after another, agreed with the emperor's approach, and asked General Chen to take the order to investigate the matter with full authority.
"I obey the order." Chen Jingsheng bowed his head when he heard this, and had no choice but to accept the order.
For the first time, Chen Jingsheng began to feel that this prestigious name is sometimes a burden and a shackle.
But he didn't know that this incident was planned by Bailijue a long time ago, and it was also the first step to keep him in Floating Cloud City and prevent him from returning to the southeast border.
"First put Prince Rui under house arrest in the mansion and not go out. Cooperate with uncle's full investigation. It's time for uncle to send someone to investigate the northwest fief." Bai Lijue ordered lightly.
"I obey the order." Chen Jingsheng bowed again to accept the order.
"Xia Aiqing, things are not very clear now, you should have been put in prison, but I pity you for your aging body, and for your daughter's sake, I will put you under house arrest in the mansion without going out." Baili Jue said lightly .
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Xia Yuanzheng was moved and knelt down to thank him with tears of gratitude.
The other officials, hearing this, thought, Xia Yuanzheng's daughter seems to be very valued by the emperor, and she was specifically pointed out by the emperor as a reason to pardon Xia Yuanzheng, tsk tsk.
The wind direction of the court has changed again.
……………
Prince Rui Bailixi did not expect that after planning for half a year, there would be such a big mistake. He did not bring down Xia Yuanzheng and others, but his actions during the past six months would be revealed.
When he saw the imperial guards rushing in and Chen Jingsheng with a gloomy face, his inner panic reached the extreme.
"Uncle, you have to trust me, I didn't do those things!" Bailixi said to Chen Jingsheng with a panicked expression.
"Prince Rui, the one who cleans himself will clean himself. As long as you haven't done those things, I will definitely return Prince Rui's innocence." Chen Jingsheng said majestically,
"Right now, please cooperate with Prince Rui, the minister must search the palace first. Moreover, from today on, without the emperor's consent, Prince Rui can only stay in the palace and is not allowed to go out!"
Hearing this, Prince Rui lost his mind for a moment, his face turned pale, his body shook, and then he sat down on the chair.
Seeing him like this, Chen Jingsheng showed a look of sadness on his face, gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and let the imperial guards inspect him carefully!
And the other side.
Zhu Ruodie, who had been waiting for Xia Yuanzheng to be convicted, suddenly felt dizzy when she heard that Prince Rui was suspected of conspiracy and was placed under house arrest in the mansion.
Her whole world collapsed!
"How could this happen?! How could this happen!" Zhu Ruodie angrily knocked over the teacup on the table in her boudoir, growling hysterically.
In this life, she has memories of her previous life, modern memories, and even the aura of a white lotus flower. All of this shows that she is the heroine, how could she be a cannon fodder female supporting role!
Prince Rui, it's all Prince Rui, it's all him, dragging himself down!
waste! waste! waste!
She already knew that she shouldn't place high expectations on him, and she knew in her previous life that he was just a waste, with ambitions in vain, but no strength and vision, who was much worse than Baili Jue.
She is still confident that she can change him, confident that with her help and her prophetic ability, even if he is a bit of a waste, as long as he plans properly, he will definitely succeed!
At that time, she will be the queen, and by using her aura of white lotus, he can make Baili Xi fall in love with him, and he can completely control him. hold in hand.
She even imagined that she could become an empress who has been passed down through the ages like Wu Zetian!
However, in the end, Zhu Ruodee discovered that everything was because she was too confident and greedy, so she found a pig teammate for herself. You can live a happy life, and it won't be like this!
When Zhu Ruodie was killed by the hidden guards sent by Xia Liang, the thought of such regret flashed through.
I regret that at the beginning, I took advantage of my own advantages, but squandered them at will. Xiao thought about things that he could not achieve, but he didn't know how to cherish the things in front of him.
