In the imperial study, Pei Luoan angrily reported the incident to the emperor, "Father, a small official in the Dali Temple dared to do such a thing. Are you going to take this prince away from me in the future?"
The emperor looked at Pei Luoan obscurely, and that look made Pei Luoan feel flustered, a little disappointed, and some indescribable feeling.
Just like when my father said he wanted to abolish him.
My heart trembled fiercely, and I gritted my teeth and said, "Father, I ask you to check it."
"Did Madam Liu get into trouble because she was angry and pressured by the Dali Temple?" The emperor finally spoke.
"I don't know. I only know that the Junior Official of the Dali Temple actually threatened the Crown Princess' biological mother in Liu's residence. I don't know who gave him such great power to dare to do such a thing."
Pei Luoan said.
"The prince previously married the daughter of Lord Ling Anbo," the emperor said slowly, "Lord Ling Anbo's daughter died to save you. Is this Shaoqing of the Dali Temple the cousin of your former crown princess?"
"Yes!" Pei Luoan's heart was shocked.
"Your former Crown Princess's cousin forced your current Crown Princess's biological mother to death. How do you want me to deal with him now?" The emperor continued to ask. His ambiguous attitude made Pei Luoan, who had originally made plans, feel uneasy.
"Father, I have nothing to ask for. I just want to say that when doing things in the government office, we must not be so ostentatious. No matter what case we are handling, we still have to keep the dignity of the noble family. Otherwise, even my mother-in-law was forced to death. How will people in the world view the government offices that punish people?"
Pei Luoan looked up and said angrily.
How could a small Shaoqing of Dali Temple be of any importance in his eyes
His goal was never to become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
"According to the prince's intention, several government offices should be rectified to correct this bad atmosphere?" The emperor understood and asked, looking at his son's sad and angry face.
"Your Majesty, these government offices have acted recklessly in the past, with few laws and checks. Now they should be rectified to prevent today's tragedy from happening again! I have not told anyone else about Madam Liu's matter, and only told others about her health reasons to avoid ruining the situation." Pei Luoan said.
He was wholeheartedly concerned about state affairs and had no selfish motives just because Madam Liu was Liu Jingyu's biological mother.
Pei Luoan felt that what he did should satisfy his father.
"Which government offices do you think need to be rectified?" the emperor spoke slowly.
"The Jingzhao Yin, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Western Prison all need to be properly rectified, so that such incidents of forcing noble families to death will not happen again in the future, causing the world to laugh at my father's character and laugh at our Great Zhou for not having a good and public-spirited criminal training office."
Pei Luoan suppressed the grief and anger on his face and spoke seriously.
He now has reasons to bring up this matter, both publicly and privately.
These places are all government offices that investigate cases, and they are also the places that the emperor pays special attention to. It is difficult for Pei Luoan to get his hands in, but by taking advantage of this incident and doing a good job of reorganizing them, there will always be a few positions vacated so that his confidants will have the opportunity to enter these departments.
"You come to sort things out?" the emperor asked with a sullen look in his eyes.
"Father, this matter was proposed by your son. How can you be independent? It is best to ask your second brother to handle this matter. Your second brother was in charge of the West Prison before, so it is relatively convenient for him to supervise it now."
Pei Luoan's suggestion was very fair.
Although Pei Yusheng had served in the Western Prison, the only one who could really have a say and have an impact was Pei Yuanjun.
West Prison is Pei Yuanjun's territory. If Pei Yusheng really dares to lay his hands on it, the two of them will definitely have an unhappy relationship.
"I will discuss this matter with the two prime ministers and then make a decision." The emperor clasped his hands on the table and looked at Pei Luoan.
"Yes, I understand, Father. I'll take my leave. The Crown Princess just went to Mother's palace. I'm afraid that the Crown Princess will admit it and cry to Mother, disturbing her peace." Pei Luoan said.
The Queen had sent someone here before, so it must be about this matter.
The emperor already had a plan in mind.
"You go ahead. I will make the final decision on this matter."
"Thank you, father. Your Majesty, I will accompany the Crown Princess for the next few days. She lost her mother suddenly and couldn't sleep at night. I don't have time for anything else. I just hope that she can live peacefully and nothing else will happen to her." Pei Luoan was very worried.
"The Crown Princess is not in good condition?" asked the Emperor.
Pei Luoan smiled bitterly, "It's not good indeed. I fainted due to shock, and I kept crying after I woke up. The imperial physician said that if I continue like this, I will have mental problems."
This means that Liu Jingyu is mentally unstable because he is heartbroken over his mother's death.
"Just take care of the Crown Princess in the mansion these days and put official business aside for now." The emperor nodded in agreement.
"Your son thanks you, father." Pei Luoan thanked again.
The emperor waved his hand, and Pei Luoan retreated to the door, stood still outside, wiped his eyes with his hand, and looked a little sad, but did not show too much on his face. He led his people to the Queen's Pepper Room, where he heard from the people in the Pepper Room that Liu Jingyu had "fainted" again.
The imperial study fell silent, and the emperor's eyes fell on a secret report in front of him.
The secret report had been opened and read, and now it was put away again, with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty," Li Quan whispered.
The emperor finally raised his eyes, leaned back, and leaned into the wide dragon throne: "He is really a passionate person. The previous one was like that, and the current one is also like that."
"The prince is a kind and compassionate person." Li Quan said.
The emperor shook his hand, sneered and said sarcastically: "Don't speak for him. Making such a scene at this time is to disrupt my several yamen investigating cases. If something big happens now, I will be caught off guard, and it will be difficult to suspect him. After all, the prince has grown a lot."
Li Quan began to sweat on his vest.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something else going on here," he said dryly.
"Another mystery? There was an other mystery at the beginning. His mother ascended the throne of Queen, and he became my eldest son. The title of the eldest son is the title of the Crown Prince, and it was a natural thing for him to ascend the throne of the Crown Prince. But now..."
The emperor paused here. There was no one else in the palace except his confidants. The emperor paused and said, "His people, Prince Jing's people, have all gone to Jiangnan. It seems that there is really no room for people. I have been wrong for so many years."
The words were spoken in a low voice, but they made Li Quan feel goosebumps.
He knew too much, and at this moment he would rather not hear anything.
The emperor picked up the secret report at hand, patted it on the table, and handed it to Li Quan: "Send it to the King of England."
"Let His Majesty the King of England handle this matter?" Li Quan was startled.
"Indeed, he should handle the matter. It depends on what he does." The emperor nodded. "No matter what, at least he has the right to know the truth."
Is it or is it not decades of grudges
I am old, really old. If it weren't for my beloved son's plan, I really wouldn't be able to see the waves stirring underneath.
He had always thought that the prince was kind, but in fact
Madam Liu's affairs were suppressed. Outsiders only knew that Madam Liu was dead. As the daughter of the Crown Princess, she fainted from crying in the mourning hall several times.
The prince's family members were in charge of the affairs and specially accompanied the prince to keep vigil. This incident also made many people envy Liu Jingyu.
The affairs of the yamen were finally sorted out by Pei Yusheng. Apart from Pei Yusheng, there seemed to be no one else suitable at this time to let the King of England do the work
The King of England said that he already had enough things to do and did not want to take over.
Yue Wenhan was reprimanded and told to be more cautious in the future. Although he did not kill Mrs. Liu, it was also related to his attitude in handling the case at that time.
Ask Yue Wenhan to go to the Liu Mansion to pay tribute to Madam Liu.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are kind-hearted. This is the opinion of those who secretly know about this matter.
Pei Yusheng was busy again. When he heard that this matter fell on him, he was overjoyed at first, but then he felt that the matter was not as simple as he had imagined. He summoned his staff to discuss in the study for a long time before he found a feasible plan.
Duke Yu is leaving the capital, and this time he is leaving secretly because the Emperor has an important mission to send him to the border.
Mo Ying and Pei Yuanjun gave him a farewell party and sent him out of the city in the dark.
Looking at Duke Yu and his men leaving under the cover of night, Mo Ying sighed.
Pei Yuanjun wrapped her cloak around him and asked, "Are you cold?"
Although it is summer, it is getting late now and it looks like it is going to rain. The sky is dark and windy.
Mo Ying shook his head: "Will there be any problems if my father goes?"
"It'll be okay. Everything has been arranged. Prince Yan and Duke Xing are both at the border." Pei Yuanjun smiled slightly, half hugged her and turned around.
While everyone's eyes are on the capital, there is actually a big movement on the border!
"Will they find out?" Mo Ying was still uneasy.
"Your father won't be here, so no one will find out." Pei Yuanjun knew what Mo Ying was talking about, and he curled the corners of his thin lips.
"Can I visit Miss Zhao more often?" Mo Ying raised her little face and looked at Pei Yuanjun. In the night, only his dark eyes could be seen, almost blending into the darkness.
This time, the jade pieces in the pair of cards have also been given away. They are indeed very important inheritance items for the Northern Frontier royal family, representing the orthodoxy of the Northern Frontier royal family.
"If you want to go and see, go ahead." Pei Yuanjun sent Mo Ying to the carriage parked on the side, and then got on the carriage as well. There was already lightening outside, and it looked like it was going to rain soon.
"Will it arouse suspicion?" Mo Ying sighed and said, in fact, it is best not to visit Miss Zhao at this time. Besides, Miss Zhao lives in Qingyun Temple, and the master of Qingyun Temple is not a peaceful person.
The wife that the Prince of Chu had been engaged to since childhood was arrogant and cruel. Whenever the Prince of Chu showed any affection to other women, she would find ways to kill or maim them.
It is said that the Prince of Chu was overwhelmed with worry, but he could do nothing about it. Her family background was enough to make the King of Chu follow the other two kings in rebellion.
After the Three Kings Rebellion was quelled, she somehow escaped to the capital, was rescued by Princess Hengyang, and later became the current head of Qingyun Temple.
