Not only Mr. Wang and Zhang Shuo were surprised, but Hua Liuli was also surprised. She had been to Bieyuan a few days ago, and did not find anything suspicious in the main courtyard. Today, someone suddenly found the dragon robe, which was obviously framed. , but is the best sewage.
Whenever His Majesty has the slightest suspicion about the Hua Family, even if it is found out that she did not do it, the Hua Family's position in the court will become embarrassing.
No matter what they do or say in the future, in the eyes of others, they may have ulterior motives. The relationship between ruler and minister is more complicated than that of husband and wife.
No emotion can withstand trials and doubts.
She thought that His Majesty ordered a strict investigation of this matter and did not treat the Hua family as a criminal, which was the best outcome. Unexpectedly, His Majesty said directly that he did this.
Your Majesty is lying.
"That's it..." Emperor Changlong looked a little embarrassed: "It was originally a private matter between me and the prince."
Zhang Shuo and Lord Wang stood with their heads lowered, but their ears perked up.
For the personal affairs between His Majesty and the Crown Prince, why did you put the dragon robe in the private garden of Fushou County Master
"It's not rumored outside recently that I am a real dragon descending to earth, so I can ward off evil spirits." Poor Emperor Changlong, at his age, racked his brains to think of reasons in order to preserve the reputation of Aiqing's family: "The prince listened to the rumors of the people outside. , I have the cheek to beg me, begging for a dragon robe that I don't wear and don't use, and put it in the Fushou County Lord's Bieyuan, saying that it will make the Fushou County Lord immune to all diseases."
"Of course I don't believe this, but I just want the crown prince to ask for peace of mind." Emperor Changlong sighed helplessly, with the image of an old father who dotes on his child: "I didn't want to tell this kind of private matter, but who knows that the dragon robe has just been released. Bieyuan, was discovered, and also implicated Fushou County Master on the crime of treason."
Master Wang had a look of "Who am I, what am I listening to". He felt that he was only fifty-five years old, so he might not be old enough, so he couldn't understand the way of emotional communication between the royal father and son.
Then he felt embarrassed again. It was really embarrassing for him to be so inspiring to people in the relationship between father and son.
"Wang Aiqing is wholeheartedly for me, and I am very relieved." Emperor Changlong did not forget to help the minister to regain face, and after rewarding him with some things, he said: "It is a blessing for the court to have such a careful minister as Lord Wang. "
After being praised by Emperor Changlong, Mr. Wang's embarrassment flew away, and he said happily, "Your Majesty's words are serious, and it is the duty of our ministers to share your worries for the king."
"Since the matter has been resolved, Mr. Wang will step down first. I and Mr. Zhang still have some matters to discuss."
"Yes, Wei Chen retire." Lord Wang exited Chenyang Palace and saw Concubine Xian outside the palace. He thought to himself, Concubine Xian must have come to see the joke of Princess Fushou, but unfortunately His Majesty knew about this long ago, Concubine Xian. It's a waste of time.
Concubine Xian hadn't recovered from the news she heard just now. Seeing Lord Wang coming out, she glanced at him and said nothing.
Lord Wang cupped his hands silently and walked out in a hurry. He didn't expect to meet the oncoming prince, so he quickly avoided it.
Looking at the prince sitting on the carriage, Mr. Wang's thoughts were very complicated. He didn't expect that the prince would believe the rumors and even hang the dragon robe for the sake of Fushou County's weak body, which made people laugh and cry.
Although this method is not very good, it can be seen from this that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince admires His Majesty very much, otherwise how could he believe that the dragon robe worn by His Majesty can ward off evil spirits
Not only that, His Royal Highness is also a person who attaches great importance to feelings. Fushou County Lord used his life to stop the assassin and was seriously injured. The prince married her as the crown princess, and also asked for His Majesty's dragon robe for her to let go of her status as a prince.
As a minister, I am not afraid of the emperor's affection and righteousness, but I am afraid that the emperor is cold-blooded and ruthless, and does not care for the slightest friendship, because when you work under such an emperor, you may lose your life if you are not careful.
Maybe it was because he had misunderstood His Royal Highness before, and His Highness was a good person.
"Master Wang." The prince raised his hand to signal the eunuch who was carrying the chariot to stop. He turned to look at Lord Wang, and put away the anxious look on his face: "You just came out of the imperial study?"
"Go back to His Royal Highness, that's right." Lord Wang bowed his hands and saluted: "What are your orders?"
"I heard that you were in the imperial study, accusing Fushou County Master of hiding the dragon robe?" The prince frowned slightly.
Lord Wang: "..."
This question is really hard to answer. He did accuse him, but he couldn't say it in front of the Crown Prince, Your Highness, Wei Chen already knew that you and Your Majesty did this, so he kept his head down and kept silent.
"To tell the truth, this matter has nothing to do with Gu, and has nothing to do with Fushou County Master." The prince lowered his eyelids and said indifferently: "This matter has to be made clear by Gu and the royal father, and you must not speak falsely."
"Yes."
Master Wang said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Wei Chen will never spread it."
The prince was a little surprised. This Lord Wang was a student of Taishi Du, and he behaved very much like Du Taishi. He was stubborn and did not know how to change things. Although he sometimes did not know how to look at people, he could be regarded as an upright official. It was about the imperial court, he thought that Lord Wang would argue with him, but he did not expect it to do so.
Getting used to the appearance of Lord Wang's lack of oil and salt, he suddenly became so easy to talk, making the prince still a little uncomfortable.
Arriving at Chenyang Palace, the prince couldn't wait for Zhao Sancai's announcement, so he rushed in: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with Fushou County Master, please..."
Seeing the scene in the hall, he paused and swallowed his words.
Doesn't it mean that someone found a dragon robe in Liuli's other garden? Why are Princess Shun'an, Concubine Xian, and Liuli all sitting securely in the chairs
"Of course I know that it has nothing to do with Fushou County Master." Emperor Changlong glanced at Concubine Xian who was sitting next to him drinking tea and was unwilling to leave, and said directly, "Concubine Xian, take Shun'an to your palace to sit."
Concubine Xian glanced at the prince, and she didn't get enough of the excitement, so she stood up reluctantly and left with Princess Shun'an.
"I suspect that it is the same group of people who forged Hua Jingyi's letters to the enemy and treasonous, and who hid the dragon robes in Fushou County Lord's Garden." The only people who put the dragon robe in are the servants in the other garden."
These servants are arranged by the Palace of the Palace, and those who can install eyeliner in the Palace of the Palace in advance are likely to come from the palace.
Zhang Shuo didn't speak. His Majesty's harem was simple, except for a few concubines, the prince and the princess. But he can understand His Majesty's mood, and no one wants to easily doubt the people around him.
He originally thought that the reason why the prince put the dragon robe in Bieyuan was absurd. Now, after hearing what His Majesty said, he understood that His Majesty was covering the Hua family.
He was extremely shocked by His Majesty's reaction. When His Majesty learned about this, he didn't suspect the Hua Family first, but found a reason to keep the Hua Family and prevent the Hua Family's reputation from being damaged in the slightest.
What kind of trust is this to do this
It is said that all the bows and arrows are hidden, and His Majesty's attitude towards the Hua family seems to be hiding the bows and arrows? Obviously, I wish I could have this bow plated with a layer of gold, and then hang it on a high place to show it off to everyone. Come and see my bow. Is it very powerful and handsome? Are you afraid when you see this bow?
"Zhang Aiqing, this case will be handed over to you, don't make a fool of yourself." Emperor Changlong looked at Zhang Shuo: "Especially the person who discovered the dragon robe by chance, must be strictly examined."
"Weichen leads the order." Zhang Shuo glanced at Fushou County Master, "County Lord, I wonder if there are any people in Bieyuan's servants that make you feel suspicious?"
Hua Liuli shook her head: "Bieyuan was given to me by His Majesty. Except for occasional inspections, I didn't change the staff inside, and even the furniture was the same as it was."
"Weichen understands." Zhang Shuo saluted Emperor Changlong, "Your Majesty, Weichen will go to investigate suspicious servants in Bieyuan, and Weichen will retire."
"Girl from the Hua family, this incident shocked you."
Walking to the door of the hall, Zhang Shuo heard His Majesty say such a sentence.
The title "Hua Family Girl" sounds much closer than the title. His Majesty seems to be really satisfied with this future daughter-in-law.
He looked at the dragon pattern carved on the white stone pillar outside the hall and sighed in his heart. If the prince is involved in this matter, it will be difficult to handle.
On the bright side, hiding the dragon robe privately can wipe out the Hua family and the prince in one fell swoop. Once the prince fell, the most honorable among the princes was the King of England.
Whether it's the East Palace assassination incident or several other major cases in recent months, it seems that they have nothing to do with the King of England. On the surface, it is beneficial to the King of England, but in fact the King of England is the most unlucky one.
Everyone knows that His Majesty loves the Crown Prince the most. If something goes wrong with the Crown Prince, His Majesty will not turn his attention to the eldest son. Instead, he can't help but wonder if the eldest son did all this for his own benefit
There is also the case of Lincui Palace's poisoning of Fushou County Master. In the end, it was found that the palace maid of Lincui Palace "suicided in fear of crime". The maid who committed suicide said that it had nothing to do with the concubine Xian, but in fact, every action I wanted to tell them In Dali Temple, Concubine Xian and King Ying are the most suspicious, so don't let them go.
But is their Dali Temple so easily deceived
Therefore, after telling His Majesty all the doubts, they did not publicize the case, and neither Concubine Xian nor His Royal Highness the British were implicated in the slightest.
"Your Majesty." Hua Liuli got up and knelt in front of Emperor Changlong: "Your Majesty, you are embarrassed by the matter of your servants and daughters."
As the saying goes, a gentleman promises a lot of money, but in order not to disturb her, His Majesty told a lie in front of his courtiers.
"Yuansu, quickly help the girl of the Hua family up." Seeing the future daughter-in-law kneeling down, Emperor Changlong comforted her and said, "I know that you have been wronged, so I don't feel any embarrassment."
"You are still young and don't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts." Emperor Changlong laughed: "Many people want to stain the Hua family and want us to break up with our monarchs and ministers. But I can't do what they want, and it's not just you who protect me The Hua Family, what I protect is the century-old foundation of the Ji Family Dynasty, and what protects the hearts of the people."
The Hua family has collapsed, and the happiest people are Tortoiseshell, Jinpo and other countries. They may not dare to mess around in a few years now, but what about ten or twenty years from now
The Hua Family is not only the Hua Family, but also the weapon of the Great Jin Dynasty to deter the nations.
"Yuansu, the girl from the Hua family may have been frightened by this. You can walk with her in the imperial garden to relax." Emperor Changlong did not forget to let his son develop a relationship with his future daughter-in-law: "Don't worry about other things, I believe Your florist's loyalty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hua Liuli gave a big gift and withdrew.
The prince walked beside Hua Liuli, and his expression didn't look too happy: "Are you scared just now that such a big thing happened?"
Hua Liuli shook her head and nodded again: "I was a little scared at first, but I feel that since I have a clear conscience, Your Majesty will definitely give justice to the Hua family."
The prince reached out and grabbed a small flower and pulled the petals on it, looking both aggrieved and sad: "I thought you would go to the palace to find me, I was waiting for you in the east palace, but you never came."
When he learned that Hua Liuli went directly to Chenyang Palace, he hurried over.
The author has something to say: Prince: I'm sad, the kind of sadness that can only be recovered by kissing Liuli.
