my wife is mulan

After Zhao Ping came out of the prison, he told Huang Dezhong: "The Ministry of Criminal Justice will re-investigate this case. It is not easy for me to come forward. You should send competent and reliable people to get the evidence quickly. You must remember to block the news, and don't be caught first!" The king will send people from the Imperial City Division to assist secretly!"

"Understood, I'll arrange it now!"

Four days later, the people sent by Huang Dezhong to Tianshui City brought back a wooden box wrapped in oilcloth.

Zhao Ping opened the wooden box, took out several letters from it, and opened them to read them one by one.

"This is indeed my prince brother's handwriting!"

Zhao Ping quickly read through several letters, one of which was related to the Sogdian merchants. Based on this letter, it can be confirmed that Jing Min was instigated by the prince to cover up and collude with the Sogdians.

"I didn't expect that the prince's brother would really do such a thing. I don't want to believe it. He grew up with me. I know his character very well. How could he become like this?" Zhao Ping muttered to himself. language.

Zhuo Bufan, Zhan Shizhuo of the palace, persuaded: "Your Highness, you don't have to do this, you must know that people will change!"

It took Zhao Ping a long time to calm down. He handed the letter to Huang Dezhong: "Do you know what to do next?"

Huang Dezhong quickly took the letter and bowed: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do, just watch it!"

the next morning.

Zhao Junsheng was fishing by the Weishui River, surrounded by imperial guards and imperial guards standing guard. His fishing skills were not bad, and he caught a lot in an hour.

Kang Yide came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Ye Jun, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, asked to see him, saying that he has something important to report!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head: "Important matter? What important matter can the Criminal Department have? I have to be disturbed even if I catch a fish and take a rest?"

Kang Yide was trembling: "Then how about the old slave let Ye Jun go back first, and then go to see His Majesty after he returns to the palace?"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "What does he have to report?"

"This old slave doesn't know, he just said something important."

"Okay, you go and call him!"

"promise!"

Ye Jun was led by Kang Yide and walked over, "Ye Jun, the left servant of the Minister and Punishment Department, sees Your Majesty!"

"What happened to burn my ass? Could it be that someone conspired against me? Someone wanted to kill me?"

Cold sweat broke out on Ye Jun's forehead, "Your Majesty, I want to report the case of Jing Min, the former prefect of Tianshui County. After investigation by the criminal department, this case involves the crown prince. I dare not neglect it. I wanted to go to the palace tomorrow to report to Your Majesty. But tomorrow is the court meeting, if you report it at the court meeting, there will be no room for change!"

Zhao Junsheng asked casually: "You don't mean to tell me that Jing Min's collusion with Sogdian merchants in disobeying his will was instigated by the crown prince?"

"Ah? Your Majesty already knows?" Ye Jun opened his mouth wide in shock.

Hearing his surprised voice, Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Ye Jun's expression, his expression changed: "Is it right?"

"Yes"

Zhao Junsheng stood up and asked with a serious face, "Where's the evidence?"

"Return to Your Majesty, both Jing Min and Shi Dayou have personally confessed that they were ordered by the crown prince. This is their confession!" Ye Jun took out the file and handed it over.

Zhao Junsheng took the dossier and took a look at the confession, then raised his head and asked, "Based on these alone, you think that the crown prince is involved in the case of Jing Min? If someone says that you have been tortured and charged, how do you explain it? The confession is just a confession! "

Chapter 1100

Ye Jun unhurriedly took out a few more letters, handed them to Zhao Junsheng and said, "Your Majesty, according to Jing Min's account, he has a courtyard outside Tianshui City. The box was packed and buried under the big pagoda tree outside the other courtyard, in order to leave a retreat for self-protection, we took out this letter according to his instructions, please read it, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't expect that there would be physical evidence. This was completely different. He took the letters and opened them one by one.

Soon, Zhao Junsheng's complexion changed, and the handwriting will not be mentioned. This is Zhao Dong's handwriting. The several letters are all confidential, and they are all things that Prince Zhao Dong secretly ordered Jing Min to do. The content on the seal proves that Jing Min defied the sacred order to shelter Sogdian businessman Shi Dayou and colluded with him to carry out secret smuggling.

After reading all the letters, Zhao Junsheng got up and said, "Show me back to the palace!"

East Palace.

The prince is the prince of the country. For an established dynasty, the prince needs to be carefully cultivated and learn how to govern the country. Therefore, the prince must learn to handle government affairs. Zhao Dong is often ordered by Zhao Junsheng to assist him in handling state affairs.

The memorials sent by the imperial court, Yamen, and officials from all over the country were read by Zhao Junsheng and selected some to be sent to the East Palace. The crown prince would deal with them first, write out his opinions, and then submit them to the emperor for imperial approval. If the emperor felt that there was something wrong with the crown prince’s reply, They will send someone to call the prince.

At this time, Zhao Dong was processing a stack of memorials, and the prince's guests hurried in to report: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent someone here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Yide came in with two young eunuchs to salute: "This old servant has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhao Dong got up immediately and said: "Boss Kang, I don't know what my father has told my ministers?"

"Your Majesty ordered the prince to go to Qinzheng Palace to have an audience!"

"My son obeys the order!"

After walking out of the East Palace, Zhao Dong asked: "I'd like to ask Director Kang, what's the matter with my father asking me to go there?"

Kang Yide hesitated for a moment, and asked the two young eunuchs to step back, and said to Zhao Dong in a low voice: "There has been a new incident in the case of Jing Min, the former prefect of Tianshui, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to the prince. Not too clear, but His Majesty should be very angry, you must be careful!"

Zhao Dong had known for a long time that it was not easy to be the prince. How many princes in the past dynasties not only failed to ascend the throne, but even lost their lives. After Jing Min was arrested, the officials of the Prince's East Palace learned about the case Progress, it seems that someone is deliberately promoting this case to have a greater impact.

The action of the third child is already very obvious, then Huang Dezhong is Zhao Ping's man!

Zhao Dong has also sent people to watch this case these days, but Huang Dezhong and Zhao Ping are on tight guard, and the people he sent have hardly found any useful information. It seems that the third child must be doing it secretly , but Zhao Dong has a clear conscience, he has never done anything.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Zhao Junsheng was reviewing the memorial, and Huang Dezhong, the head of the Ministry of Punishment, was kneeling below him, and Ye Jun, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Lu Lin, Zheng Lulin of the Dali Temple, and even Zhao Ping, the king of Shu, stood on both sides.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has arrived!"

"Let him in!" Zhao Junsheng said without looking up.

Zhao Dong walked into the main hall, saluted and said: "I have seen my father!"

After reviewing a memorial, Zhao Junsheng put down his pen, looked up at Zhao Dong, and asked, "I ask you, are you involved in the case of former Tianshui prefect Jing Min?"

Zhao Dongdao: "Returning to my father, Jing Min was indeed close to my son and minister before, and I don't need to hide it, but I didn't know that he accepted bribes from the Sogdian businessman Shi Dayou and disobeyed the holy order to provide him with asylum!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Jing Min should be charged with more than these crimes, right?"

"What's the meaning of this, Father?" Zhao Dong asked doubtfully.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Zhao Dong's face, pondered for a while and said: "A few days ago, when the Ministry of Criminal Justice was reviewing the verdict against Jing Min at Dali Temple, it felt that the case was still suspicious, so it was reported to me, and I ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to re-investigate the case. , The Ministry of Criminal Affairs reported that Jing Min confessed to something more important, and that he also colluded with Shi Dayou to prepare for large-scale smuggling, what do you think is the crime at this time?"

"It's the crime of collaborating with the enemy!" Zhao Dong said after a moment of hesitation.

Zhao Junsheng said again: "But Jing Min confessed that this was instigated by you, and the Sogdian businessman Shi Dayou also said the same thing. How do you explain this?"

Zhao Dong's complexion changed, and he quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Father, this is a false accusation! I have never done this before. Could it be that just their one-sided words can prove that my son really did collaborating with the enemy? This matter The case was weird from the beginning. Jing Min's case itself was within the investigation scope of the Imperial City Division. Why was the secret of Jing Min's collusion with Shi Dayou and harming my interests not found out by the Imperial City Division? The criminal department found out similar cases?"

After Zhao Dong finished speaking, he looked at Lu Lin, and asked, "After the investigation and interrogation, the Imperial City Division handed over the file and criminals to Dali Temple. This Master Lu hastily sentenced him without careful investigation again. Don't you think it's too hasty? some?"
