Kang Yide came in and reported: "Your Majesty, I am waiting for the case to be filed with Jia Yue!"

"Xuan!"

After a while, Jia Yue was led in by the little eunuch.

"Chen Jiayue sees His Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng waved to the eunuchs and maids: "You all go down!"

The eunuchs and maids left the hall one by one.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand to Jia Yue: "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jia Yue got up and took out two booklets from his arms, and said: "This is what your majesty asked the minister to investigate, and everything is here!"

Zhao Junsheng took the two booklets and began to look at them. These two booklets recorded who the prince and the king of Shu had met and said during this period.

A moment later, he put down the booklet and thought for a while, then held the booklet to Jia Yue: "Okay, go down!"

"Resign!" Jia Yue took the brochure and bowed out of the hall.

Zhao Junsheng stroked his chin and walked back and forth in the hall a few moments later, a man in black came out from behind a big pillar to salute: "I wonder what is the purpose of His Majesty's summoning minister?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Jing Min was killed, and Huang Dezhong, the head of the criminal department who tried this case before, also committed suicide. Go and find out if there is anything strange about these two cases!"

"Follow the order!" The black-robed man agreed, then turned around and disappeared behind the big pillar.

The Palace of the King of Shu.

Zhan Shizhuo of the palace said to Zhao Ping: "Your Highness, this crown prince is really bold. At this time, he killed Jing Min and made a move. There is no evidence for his death. Even if His Majesty doubts him, it is because of Jing Min's death that the investigation cannot continue. , between Yichen, this case is likely to be closed!"

Zhao Ping smiled: "So what? Although the case can't be investigated, but what the boss did will definitely make the father feel uncomfortable. He is committing crimes against the wind!"

Zhuo Bufan clapped his hands and said: "That's right, Your Majesty will definitely be dissatisfied with the prince's actions. We will not bring down the prince overnight. We can make your majesty disappointed in the prince through one thing after another. Once your majesty is dissatisfied with the prince Extreme disappointment will inevitably give birth to the idea of ​​deposing the crown prince, and then is His Highness's chance!"

Zhao Ping thought for a while and said: "After this incident, we can no longer deliberately target the prince, we must go into hibernation, the father is still in his prime, it is no good to fight the prince to the death at this time, it will only benefit others in vain We just need to do the errands assigned by the emperor, except for those ministers and officials who are talented, have no bad deeds and come to seek refuge, this king cannot take the initiative to make friends with ministers!"

Zhuo Bufan cupped his hands and said: "What Your Highness said is true, now Prince Jing has grown up, and he is a not very peaceful master, let him go to wrestle with the Prince, but His Highness took this opportunity to restrain his sharpness and Pawns, secretly accumulating power, after this year the fifth prince, King Sui, will grow up, and more and more people will compete with the prince for the throne, he is not a good prince!"

Zhao Ping knew very well in his heart that his father had the final say on who would inherit the throne, and the idea of ​​seizing the throne by armed force was basically impossible. His father was not an ordinary emperor, but the founding king of the country. In the past 20 years, the world has been governed in an orderly manner, and the local military and political power in the court and all forces are firmly under control.

Even if the boss is pulled from the throne of the prince, whoever becomes the prince may not be able to have the last laugh. Until the last moment, no one will know the ownership of the throne. recognized.

East Palace.

Zhao Dong sat at the back of the chair and practiced calligraphy, meticulous in every stroke.

Prince Xima Liu Xian hurried in and reported: "His Royal Highness, I just received the news that Jing Min was killed in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. There are only a few rooms between the two cells!"

When Zhao Dong heard the news, the brush in his hand stopped, and after a pause, he continued writing.

Seeing Zhao Dong's appearance, Liu Xian couldn't help being a little anxious: "Your Highness, are you still thinking about practicing calligraphy? This must have been done by someone sent by the King of Shu. The purpose is to make His Highness more suspicious by His Majesty and ministers!"

Zhao Dong put down his pen after writing the last word, stood up and asked, "Who is in charge of investigating the cause of death of these two people? Is there any clue?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Sun Wei, the head of the criminal department, is investigating the case. I sent someone to inquire. Jing Min was indeed killed, and Huang Dezhong had no trace of being killed. He should have committed suicide. According to Sun Wei's investigation, Jing Min was killed. Min's man is a master of swordsmanship!"

Zhao Dong asked: "Do you think the third person sent someone to do it?"

"Your Highness, who else could it be if it wasn't the King of Shu? On that day, Shi Dayou retracted his confession on the spot, pointing out that Huang Dezhong was beaten into a trick and induced a confession. Although the situation is still not good for His Highness, there are signs that they want to frame His Highness. The King of Shu He must have seen that His Highness cannot be brought down this time, so he simply killed Jing Min to make His Highness and Man Chaowu even more suspicious of His Highness!"

Zhao Dong thought for a while and asked again: "Did Emperor Father know about this matter?"

"I've known it for a long time. Just now, the king of Shu and other ministers were summoned to inquire about the investigation of this case in the Palace of Qinzheng. The case of Li Yuande, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Wang De, Jingmin, and Shi Dayou, ministers of Dali Temple, proves that His Highness is involved. Insufficient, the foot ban on His Highness should be lifted, His Majesty said that he would consider it, and ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the case of Jing Min's murder and catch the murderer!"

Zhao Dong sighed: "We can't do anything now, just wait for the news!"

Two days later, Qinzheng Hall.

There was no one else in the hall except Zhao Junsheng who was reviewing the memorial. The man in black came out from behind the pillar and saluted him and reported: "Your Majesty, I have investigated the case of Jing Min and Huang Dezhong. Huang Dezhong did hang himself. That evening, when meals were distributed in the prison, the prison chief on duty once said something to Huang Dezhong in private, and no one knew what he said, and Huang Dezhong hanged himself in the middle of the night!"

"I also went to see the cell where Jing Min died, and there was no trace of a fight. After examining the sword wounds on the bodies of Jing Min and several other prison guards who were killed, I found that the murderer's sword moves were somewhat familiar. Later, I finally remembered that this murderer should be the black-clothed swordsman I met outside Prince Jing's mansion!"

"Oh?"

Zhao Junsheng put down his pen, stood up and frowned: "Could it involve the fourth child? But he should be patrolling around Jinyang with Li Shan at this time!"

Shadow reminded: "Your Majesty, the identity of the black-clothed swordsman cannot be determined, and it cannot be concluded that he belongs to Prince Jing!"

"That's right, you reminded me rightly, the fourth child is in Jinyang, and it is absolutely impossible to issue orders from thousands of miles away! No wonder I feel that there seems to be another person intervening in this case, as if they are provoking the crown prince and the king of Shu." battle!"

"This matter is getting more and more interesting! You go down first, I still have something to do for you in a few days!"

"Resignation!" Shadow flashed and disappeared behind the pillar.

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and shouted to the outside: "Come here!"

A eunuch opened the door and walked in, bowed and said, "What is your majesty's order?"

"King Xuanshu and Lin Jinghui meet!"

"promise!"

Soon, Lin Jinghui came to Qinzheng Hall.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng waved to Lin Jinghui: "I have something for you to do!"

"Your Majesty please order!"

"you are like this"

"I understand!" Lin Jinghui exited the hall after cupping his fists.

Soon, Zhao Ping, king of Shu, arrived.

"My son sees my father!"

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhao Junsheng came out from the case and said: "Since Yizhou was captured by our army last year and included in our Dagan territory, although it has been governed for more than half a year, it still has not recovered. There are many bandits everywhere, and the situation is not good. Great, I plan to send a governor to oversee the recovery of the counties in terms of strengthening people's livelihood, but also to increase the intensity of bandit suppression. You have also experienced in the Imperial City Division for several years, and it is time to be released as a magistrate. You are the governor of Yizhou!"

Zhao Ping never expected that Zhao Junsheng would let him go out of Beijing to Yizhou as governor at this time. What is the reason for this?He has no time to think about this anymore.
