His Royal Highness Duan Wang peeked at me in the study again

Chapter 106 Take This Step

The Hall of Supreme Harmony the next day.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

As soon as he came to the court, the minister of the Ministry of Punishments, Xiao Yu, lowered his body and moved to the hall to perform his duties, holding the wat board in his hand.

After Zhao Yuge was promoted to the crown prince, the court stopped for a while.

Especially the people on the queen's side, how high the arrogance was at the beginning, and how low the arrogance is now.

Unexpectedly, something happened to the criminal department, and everyone couldn't help looking sideways. They heard him say: "Your Majesty, yesterday the criminal department tried a murder case. The prisoner was wearing a military uniform and accidentally killed a person in a casino. A fish talisman belonging to the guards led by Prince Wei was found on his body. After further investigation, the prisoner was named Hu Dayang, a native of Yucheng, but when asked how he came to Luojing from a long distance, he began to hesitate and answer irrelevant questions. After one night of questioning, he confessed that he was the remnant party of the White Candle Sect. He was recruited into Luojing by the prince, and a dozen other people were recruited together with him. Looking at his shoulder, there were indeed vague tattoos, which were similar to those in the files of the White Candle Sect at that time. The location is the same as shown in the document. This is the case for the emperor to look at."

For a while, they whispered upwards.

Zhao Heming took the case submitted by Wang Rusheng, and Zong first glanced at Zhao Yuge.

There was no surprise on Zhao Yuge's face, he sighed secretly, walked to the hall and knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, I have been wronged. I hate the White Candle Sect to the bone, and I dare not disobey the holy will. No one with the pattern of the White Candle Religion will survive. I'm afraid that someone deliberately framed this matter in this matter, so I ask Father to investigate clearly."

Zhao Heming flipped through the file and said indifferently: "Where is Hu Dayang on the file?"

Xiao Feng replied, "Back to the emperor, people are waiting outside the palace."

After a while, the descendants were brought into the hall.

Hu Dayang is no longer the youthful look he was before, but he still feels a little timid when he looks at Zhao Yuge's back.With iron chains on his hands and feet, he knelt on the ground and said: "The villain Hu Dayang kowtowed to the emperor."

Zhao Heming put down the file in his hand and stood up, and said with his hands behind his back: "Hu Dayang, what is said in this file is the truth?"

Zhao and Ge didn't even turn their heads, and they heard him say: "Returning to the emperor, the villain was indeed a member of the White Candle Cult, and was sent to Luojing by His Royal Highness. Everything the villain said is true. And... King Qi also You should know the villain."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Zhao Chengyan.

Zhao Chengyan looked at Hu Dayang carefully before stepping forward, and said respectfully: "Father, I do know this person. In the battle of Yucheng, the crown prince captured more than a dozen people as internal support, but they were all executed after the war. But why now? …people are dead and back to life?”

Zhao Yuge secretly hooked the corner of his lower lip, but didn't say a word.

Zhao Tuo really couldn't wait any longer, stood up and said: "Father, you only need to check the tattoos on the shoulders of the dozens of people that Hu Dayang confessed, and it will be clear at a glance. If it is the remnant party of the White Candle Sect, the shoulders Naturally, they all have the same imprint as this Hu Dayang."

For a while, the arrogance was chaotic.

Zhao Heming immediately sent Li Chang, a thousand-feathered army, to fetch them. After more than an hour, a dozen people in black robes of government soldiers were sparsely brought into the hall.

"Undressing..."

Everyone took off their robes in a daze.

Li Chang looked at their shoulders and replied: "Your Majesty, there is no sign of any scars."

"How is it possible?" Zhao Tuo was anxious for a moment, and stepped back to see that the skin was really delicate and flawless.He was stunned for a moment, and Hu Dayang bluffed and said: "Fake. Your Majesty, these people are fake, and the villains don't know each other."

Everyone is discussing.

The little eunuch outside the palace stepped forward and passed a message, "Your Majesty, the general of the Prince's Mansion, Mu Cheng's Mansion, and Qinghe County Magistrate said that there is something urgent to report outside the palace."

Zhao Heming then announced the two of them to enter the palace.

"The minister knocked on my emperor. The last general, Mu Cheng, just heard that the case was related to Hu Dayang, so he brought Wang Zhifu to play the Ming emperor."

The county magistrate Wang Zhi followed the report and said: "Reporting to the emperor, the yamen fished out a corpse from the Luohe River a few days ago. After many inquiries, it was a man from the Prince's Mansion, named Hu Dayang, from Yucheng. His clothes were not worn. Save, all the fish charms and money have been looted, the Yamen has closed the case, it was murdered, and the perpetrator is being arrested."

The situation was temporarily reversed.

Even if they knew that Zhao Yuge was cheating, they had nothing to do.

Zhao Tuo had no choice but to back away peacefully.

Xiao Feng of the Ministry of Punishment immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, it's all small when you hear that the White Candle Cult has lost its sense of propriety."

Zhao Chengyan saw that there was no evidence at the moment, and immediately changed his words: "Father, I also saw Hu Dayang that night that day, and it seems that I misunderstood him."

Zhao Heming raised his hand to make Zhao Yuge stand up, while he sat down and looked at Hu Dayang, saying: "This man has slandered the prince, hang him immediately."

After finishing speaking, Yushi Taichang Yushi stepped out to report.

"Your Majesty, I impeached Zhao Tuo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and bought and sold officials for more than 20 cases. Jiao Yang repaired embankments and lost more than 50 yuan of money. He has committed many crimes. The evidence is conclusive. Please take a look at it."

What's the matter today?
One pile after another?
There was an explosion among the court ministers for a while, and the discussion was much more lively than before.

Zhao Tuo felt the cold sweat all over his back, and watched Wang Rusheng slowly present several booklets with a look of surprise on his face.

It is conceivable that Zhao Yuge's careful planning has no flaws.

After the court, his uncle Lin Lixing walked up to him quietly, and said with concern on his face: "Although the three divisions assisted in the investigation, the emperor asked the head of the criminal department to investigate the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, the matter of Jiao Yang, the head of Yushitai, and the matter of Dali Temple Fucha... Am I thinking too much?"

Zhao Yuge understood what his uncle meant, his mind sank, and he said, "If you think too much, you will know on New Year's Eve."

As the two were talking, Zhao Tuo, who was escorted back to the palace by the Yulin Army, gave them a hard look. Zhao Chengyan followed, and Zhao Yuge stopped him.

"Fifth brother, this letter..."

Zhao Yuge took out a letter as he spoke, and said, "Concubine Fu has woken up, and has...forgot the past. She likes me very much now, and we will live in a down-to-earth way in the future. You, too. She has already become a relative, so it is not appropriate to care about her in the name of a classmate now."

After finishing speaking, he put the letter in his hand, shook his sleeves and left.

Zhao Chengyan bit the corner of his lips, put back the letter he ordered Gu Yu to deliver yesterday into his sleeve, and went to Luanfeng Hall.

"Mother, now that the second elder brother has been grounded, the position must be lost. What should we do?"

Suman lingered at his feet.

The tight hem of the skirt dragged lightly on the floor, she pondered for a while, and said: "Since Zhao Yuge became the crown prince, he has really used more and more tricks, and he is pressing hard every step of the way. I think With this momentum, he didn't intend to let us stay in this palace for a long time! If that's the case, then we can't waste it with him anymore. Let's start deploying!"

"Do you really want to take this step?"

"If you delay any longer, I'm afraid that even this road will disappear."
