Xiao Chengjun knew about Qinghe's dike breaking. Before his wedding, he was busy supervising disaster relief. As for whether the Qinghe county magistrate was corrupt or not, it was supervised by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he didn't care. Search: \(????) Why is it only a few days after watching high-quality literature for free, and this matter has been implicated in him

"Who presented the book today? What did the emperor say?" Xiao Chengjun put down the cup steadily, motioning for Lou Jing to let go of Yao Zhu.

Yao Zhu didn't have much contact with the prince before, but this time he had to bite the bullet and come to see Xiao Chengjun because he happened to be involved with him. Now that he was shocked to hear such a big event, he was only surprised for a moment and then returned to his calm state, so he couldn't help feeling sad Sheng admired it, secretly thinking that the prince has really been hiding something for so many years.

"The zhezi was handed over by the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. He said that the county magistrate of Qinghe had confessed, and the money used to build the embankment was used to repair Qingliang Temple. We need to check the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts." Yao Zhu glanced at the prince's feelings, "Is the minister The officials of the Ministry of Rites don’t know much about these matters, but because my younger brother was implicated in it, they inquired many ways.”

The smile on Lou Jing's face had disappeared, and he exchanged glances with His Highness the Crown Prince, and both understood the truth.

It should not be brought up today that the crown prince is related to this matter. There must have been rumors before. Yao Zhu has been an official for so many years, so he is naturally sensitive to government affairs. In addition, he is very concerned about this matter, so he smelled the conspiracy . The county magistrate of Qinghe is greedy for ink, but it is actually easy to investigate. If it has been delayed for so long, then someone must have no intention of doing so.

"Your Highness, there is no trivial matter in the court, you'd better make plans early," Yao Zhu hesitated for a moment, "The emperor has entrusted Shen Lian with full authority over the Qinghe case today."

Lou Jing raised her eyebrows, she thought that Yao Zhu had come to surrender only from the previous words, and she dared to go around for a long time because of his younger brother. What he said so much was nothing more than to draw the prince and him into the same camp, let Xiao Chengjun put pressure on Shen Lian, and fool this matter, Yao Su's official career would have a glimmer of life.

Xiao Chengjun pondered for a moment, and said with a cold expression: "I'm afraid this matter is more than that. If you want to protect yourself, go to Zhao Duan, Prime Minister of the Left, and ask him to show you the way, and..."

Hearing this, Yao Zhu felt the hairs on his back stand on end. The prince said that he should protect himself, because this matter would lead to death.

"Let Yao Su leave the capital as far as possible." Xiao Chengjun raised his head and looked into the distance. There were clouds passing by in the sky, covering the sunlight and leaving a large shadow on the flat ground.

"I understand..." Yao Zhu took a step back, knelt down again, and respectfully kowtowed to Xiao Chengjun, "Minister Yao Zhu, thank you Your Highness!" Thank you Your Highness, thank you for the prince's benevolence, and thank you for your kindness. The prince's life-saving grace!

Yao Zhu left with a heavy heart, Lou Jing walked to the side of the prince who was standing with his hands behind his back, "Yao Zhu has already driven away."

Xiao Chengjun nodded, "It's time for us to return to the palace."

"What's your Highness's plan?" Lou Jing stretched out her hand to hold him, this matter might be a bit troublesome, there were rumors in the court a few days ago, but they only found out now, and they already lost the opportunity.

"We must first find out the ins and outs of this matter," Xiao Chengjun looked at the hands they held, "don't act rashly."

"Let Yun Shiliu go to Qinghe to find out about this matter." Lou Jing said, and called Yun Shiliu.

Youyun Sixteen Riders each have their own strengths, but they are all in pairs. For example, to detect news, Yunba and Yunliu are both good at this, and to treat trauma are Yunqi and Yunshiwu. People replace.

Xiao Chengjun looked at Yun Shiliu who was kneeling on the ground, and nodded. If he sent someone from the East Palace to investigate, it would definitely arouse people's suspicion. Letting Yun Shiliu go would save a lot of trouble, so he explained some specific matters to be investigated, and Yun Shiliu immediately took the order and left.

He intended to let His Royal Highness taste the food in his farm, but now it was too late, Lou Jing asked someone to pick two baskets of apples and autumn peaches, and brought them back to honor the empress.

The prince's every move was watched by someone, and since he arrived at the princess's estate, he simply took some things back home, and people lost interest in exploring.

"Father and empress can't use it to reward concubines, two baskets are too much." Xiao Chengjun looked at his unruffled princess and concubine, and felt very at ease. These.

"Father can't afford us to eat by ourselves." Lou Jing pulled His Highness the Crown Prince into the carriage, and they had to hurry back to the East Palace. The courtiers like to wait and see and follow suit. The longer the matter of Qinghe drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Crown Prince, so it must be resolved as soon as possible.

The queen is a man, and apart from routine rewards, she would not give things to concubines for no reason on weekdays.

Xiao Chengjun took a green and red apple in his hand, "If Concubine Shu is still there, I can give her some."

Lou Jing was stunned, and stretched out her hand to hold the hand holding the apple. Concubine Shu is Xiao Chengjun's biological mother. It is said that she passed away when he was just one year old. "The crown prince is not allowed to have a blind date with his biological mother. I can't see it, it's just adding another sad person."

"Zhuoyu..." Xiao Chengjun looked at him quietly, then at the apple they were holding together, hesitant to speak.

Back to the East Palace, it was already noon. Xiao Chengjun was going to invite the officials of the East Palace to discuss, but Lou Jing dragged him to eat first.

The two had dinner at Chongren Hall nearby, and the Eastern Palace officials gathered in the study of Chongren Hall.

Seeing this, Lou Jing was about to retreat, but was stopped by Xiao Chengjun, "You stay too."

Cai Yi and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect that the crown princess had gained the crown prince's trust just four days ago.

The effect of Tian Zhuang's party today is undoubtedly obvious. Xiao Chengjun let him stay, it is to let him contact the power of the prince. Lou Jing pursed her lips and sat down next to His Highness the Crown Prince without giving in.

"I have carefully checked the papers about Qinghe approved by His Highness." Cai Yi took out the record book he made when assisting the crown prince in reviewing papers. "The only ones that can use money are the ones approved in March this year to repair Qingliang Temple." money."

Qingliang Temple is a monk temple in Qinghe County. Taizu received the favor of the abbot of Qingliang Temple when he conquered the world, so he sealed it as a Huguo Temple, and allocated a sum of money to repair the temple every few years.

Xiao Chengjun frowned, the money for the construction of Qingliang Temple and the money and household department for the construction of the embankment will be allocated on time and according to the amount, can such things be confused

"If you can't tell a lie, just wait a few more days, and someone will help you tell it right." Lou Jing looked at the thick record book. It is impossible to make a mistake in this kind of routine transfer of money. Since Xiao Chengjun is suspicious Why don't you say it when he is in the court, but when he can't go to the court, why don't you say it, the meaning is self-evident.

Everyone's eyes widened involuntarily, and an Eastern Palace official exclaimed, "So, someone deliberately framed His Highness at this time."

Cai Yi turned around on the spot, "Your Highness cannot go to court now, even if you want to make an excuse, there is nothing you can say."

The sound of the wind... the embankment bursting... at this time... you can't go up...

Lou Jing felt that something flashed in her mind, from the hasty marriage decree on August 17th to all the things since the wedding, she suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Chengjun beside her, and said slowly, "Your Highness, we Why is your marriage so hasty?"

Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, "You mean..."

During the wedding, the crown prince didn't have to go to court, but when he came to Xiao Chengjun's place, he couldn't do anything in politics. Not going to court, not approving memorials, just relying on a few Eastern Palace officials who are below the third rank and not qualified to go to court, is to separate the prince from the court in disguise. The Qing River broke its embankment in early August, so why did the case of the county magistrate's embezzlement of ink not be brought up until the crown prince was not in court

Xiao Chengjun gradually clenched the hands in his sleeves. His father must have suspected him from the very beginning.

Cai Yi broke out in a cold sweat, "The big wedding is to trap the prince, so the emperor must have become suspicious. Your Highness, you must come up with a charter as soon as possible. They can't let them pour dirty water on the East Palace!"

"The matter has not been clarified yet, so don't act rashly," Xiao Chengjun said in a deep voice, "Cai Yi, is the charter I asked you to prepare before ready?"

"Your Highness!" Cai Yi's face turned pale in an instant, and his voice became a little heavy, "I'm ready, but Your Highness..."

Xiao Chengjun raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "It's fine as soon as it's settled, just hold back for now, I'll go to meet the queen father, and you will come to listen to the order in the evening."

"Yes!" Cai Yi bowed in response. The other East Palace officials didn't seem to know what regulations he had prepared, but they would not be so stupid as to ask now. They all bowed and followed Cai Yi to leave.

"Only when there are clues can we see the tricks." Lou Jing was actually relieved, their marriage happened too strangely, now that they see the reason, there is no need to panic to guess.

"That's right." Seeing him like this, Xiao Chengjun smiled a little, "Let's go to Fengyi Palace now."

"You guys have intentions," the queen accepted the two baskets of fresh fruit brought back by Lou Jing, waved away the crowd, and took out a small box, "This is a wedding gift sent by the governor of Yuezhou at noon today. Arrived."

Xiao Chengjun took the red lacquer box from the Queen's hand, "Father, something happened in the court."

"Gong knows," Ji Zhuo's eagle eyes showed a bit of coldness, "let's prepare for the worst."

"Father..." Xiao Chengjun looked at the empress's cold face, and slowly frowned, "Perhaps, it's not so far."

"Jingnanhou will return to Beijing next month," Empress Ji sighed, "The palace told you before the wedding, you should try to investigate this matter, but remember, even if everyone knows that you have been wronged You can't let everyone cry out for you, otherwise, no one will be able to protect you."

The moonlight in early autumn is always a bit cold, Xiao Chengjun put his hands behind his back in front of the window, letting the moonlight leak into the empty hall, staining his apricot yellow clothes with a layer of silver frost.

Lou Jing walked into the empty Chongren Hall, there was no lamp in the hall, and he could see that noble figure from a distance, standing alone under the moonlight, as if he would merge into the lonely moonlight at any time, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, and walked to him Behind him, afraid of disturbing his thoughts, he quietly accompanied him.

"Why did you come here?" Xiao Chengjun looked back at him.

"Lord Cai is gone, Your Highness should rest now," Lou Jing said, with a somewhat unscrupulous smile on his face, "Your Highness won't go to Bafeng Hall, and I will only go to Chongren Hall to sleep."
