The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

The prince was thinking that even if he made the emperor angry, he would not miss this opportunity and must punish Ling Moxiao.

There was no way, since the queen was deposed, the prince became less and less popular with the emperor, and although Ling Moxiao was far away at the border, his reputation was getting better and better.

The prince felt that it was not easy to catch him making a mistake, so he naturally refused to let it go.

Chen Guogong, the princeling's think tank, knew that things would not be that simple when he took out the secret from the emperor.

Now the reason for King Ling's murder is unknown, and there is no conclusive evidence for taking concubines. The expedition was the top priority.

Even if the imperial court wanted to investigate Prince Ling, it would not transfer Prince Ling back at this juncture.

He quickly thought of a way to have both ends, and said:

"Back to the emperor, I propose that we send an imperial envoy to Youzhou to investigate the case thoroughly."

Many courtiers echoed Chen Guogong's words, especially when they heard that the emperor said that he would send the prince to the expedition, they were afraid that they would be sent there as well.

Where is the border? So many talented people have died without a burial place. Even if they are princelings and have the ability to follow the dragon, they do not want to go to the border.

The prince looked at Chen Guogong in surprise, wondering why he didn't take the opportunity to suppress Ling Moxiao.

I wanted to say that with so many leaks and secret letters as evidence, why would we send an imperial envoy to investigate?

It would be better to directly transfer Ling Moxiao back to Chang'an for interrogation.

But seeing Chen Guogong wink at him and looking at the emperor's expression, the prince finally swallowed his breath, lowered his head and said:

"My son seconded the proposal."

Just like what Shen Dongsu expected, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to Youzhou to investigate. But this group had different opinions.

The prince naturally wants to send someone from the princeling party. The emperor wants to send an official from a poor family, and the nobles have to send their own people.

There was a quarrel in the court for several days, but very suddenly, Chen Xingyao did not discuss with Chen Guogong, but went to the emperor to request an order, willing to go to Youzhou to investigate the case.

The reason is that he has served as the city defender in Youzhou before and is more familiar with the situation in Youzhou and the north than other officials.

Chen Xingyao was both a princeling and the eldest son of the Chen family, the head of the noble clan. As a result, the three-party dispute in the court became a two-party dispute.

The emperor then selected three people as the imperial envoys, who had the potential to be interrogated by the three departments. They were accompanied by an official from a humble family in Dali Temple and a censor.

By the time Chen Guogong knew about it, the imperial edict had arrived.

Chen Guogong accepted the imperial edict with a serious expression, then closed the door of his house and was about to beat Chen Xingyao. He said that if he breaks his legs, there is no need to go to Youzhou.

This was the first time that Chen Xingyao contradicted his father so forcefully, saying that he must go. The emperor and the prince both agree, even if the father disagrees.

Chen Guogong asked him helplessly, why did he have to go through this troubled water? The Chen family could completely stay out of this matter, ignite the situation behind their backs, and persuade King Ling to dismount.

Duke Chen Guogong was very angry when Princess Ling cut off the mouths of the children of the Chen family branch.

This matter spread all over Chang'an. She, a little peasant girl, dared to slap the Chen family in the face like this!

As for Princess Ling's rescue of Chen Xingyao, Chen Guogong felt that the last time he donated money to Youzhou, he had repaid his kindness.

Chen Xingyao's reason was that he felt aggrieved in Chang'an City and he didn't like to go out since his hand was broken.

Take this opportunity to go to Youzhou to relax. Contact the northern nobles again to prevent King Ling from uniting the North.

Chen Guogong had no choice but to ask him to bring a few staff there.

That day, the prince invited Chen Xingyao into the palace for discussion. The prince's attitude was very resolute and tough. He was here to collect evidence of Prince Ling's crime.

If you are guilty, there will be evidence; if you are not guilty, you will also have evidence!

If those two imperial envoys had stopped them, there would have been many ways to kill people at the border: death from illness due to acclimatization, hacking to death by Tatars, falling off their horses...

The prince held Chen Xingyao's hand tightly: "You are the closest brothers. When I ascend to the great treasure, I will make you a hereditary first-class prince!"

For some reason, what Chen Xingyao was thinking of was the incident a few years ago when he and the prince were jokingly called the 'defeating brothers' by the people.

I couldn't help but feel a chill, but I didn't show it on my face, and my attitude was humble: "I will never give His Highness your trust!"

The prince was very happy. After so many leaks were sent, the emperor protected Ling Moxiao and even sent an imperial envoy to investigate.

When Chen Xingyao finds out the evidence, the emperor will have nothing to say!

Ling Mo Xiao, Ling Mo Xiao, you'd better pray to die in the hands of the Tatars. If you fall into the hands of the Tatars, your life will be worse than death!

Thinking of the petite and petite Shen Dongsu, I wonder if her appearance has become ugly after being at the border for several years.

If nothing changes, I'm lonely enough that I won't mind accepting you. If it changes, then they will die together, forgetting the queen mother's obsession.

Unfortunately, the development of things soon exceeded the prince's expectations. No, it should be said that it was beyond everyone's expectations.

When the second batch of news from the north flew like snowflakes to the emperor's case.

The content on the booklet was completely different from the previous batch. The nobles who were chosen by King Ling to be his daughter's family said in unison.

Their daughter did not go to be a concubine for King Ling, but was chosen by Princess Ling to study medicine.

Then there are the nobles whose homes were confiscated by King Ling. First, there was a joint statement by Jeju officials, saying that the nobles who had their homes confiscated and severely punished by King Ling were all for killing refugees, occupying people's fields, and committing heinous crimes.

It was they who prayed for King Yeong to come to Jeju and make decisions for the people. Moreover, King Ling saved tens of thousands of refugees in Jeju.

The princeling was beaten to death in the court, and King Ling forced the officials to hand out these secrets.

Even if Jeju spoke for King Ling with one voice, what about other states and cities? There is evidence of King Ling's random killings in the four states.

But soon, new information was presented, and there was definite evidence that the nobles from the four states bribed the bandits.

While King Ling was not in Youzhou, he went to Youzhou to cause trouble. These bandits killed many people and maimed the people in small villages and towns.

King Ling also eliminated harm for the people and thoroughly investigated the rogue bandits before killing nobles in four states and cities who had colluded with the rogue bandits.

Similarly, it was also found that some nobles had colluded with the Tatars, which was a crime of treason.

Before the expedition, King Ling killed these criminals to prevent them from passing news to the Tatars.

There are nearly a hundred excerpts, but the accounts of what happened in Youzhou are inconsistent and extremely different.

The princelings insisted that the following excerpts were forced by King Ling's threats.

I have never heard of a noble girl willing to study medicine with a peasant girl. Let’s go to the border town of Youzhou. Isn’t this a joke?

It was obvious that King Ling was lecherous and threatened them, but he said this in order to preserve his reputation.

The emperor watched as if watching a play, watching the quarrel in the court become a pot of porridge, and at the same time the discussions among the people became even more exaggerated.

But strangely, the people actually believed the latter, because they knew exactly how the gentry oppressed the people.

King Ling kills nobles, no matter how many he kills, it is not a sin! Some people even clamored privately that King Ling killed too few people.

Moreover, the killing should not only be limited to the cities near Youzhou, but should be promoted nationwide. All nobles who invade the people's fields and harm the good people should be dealt with like King Ling!

As a result, the situation in the north becomes increasingly unclear, and we can only wait for the imperial envoy to return from the investigation.

The prince urged Chen Xingyao to leave quickly, but Chen Guogong said that he would wait until there was more news and the situation became clearer before setting off.
