Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion.

Princess Zhaoyang listened to her subordinates' report with a sarcastic smile on her face.

She wanted General Li to die, but not like this. She wanted to find out the evidence, let General Li be punished openly, and let Li Ye go to the underworld to apologize to her husband.

"Princess..."

Hearing the words of the commander of the royal guards, Princess Zhaoyang laughed.

"Spread the news quietly."

"Yes."

Anyway, there are many people who want General Li dead, and she is looking forward to a fight between them. Now outsiders all think that Li Ye is dead.

royal palace.

At the morning court, Minister Lu of the Ministry of Justice reported the matter of the Tianlao.

After hearing what Minister Lu said, the emperor looked at him with a cold face.

Minister Lu knelt on the ground. He knew exactly what was going on. This was all a fight among the people. He was extremely angry at these people for suffering. These people fought as they pleased, but now they wanted to hurt innocent people. So many people were injured or killed. It had been decades since such a big case happened in Tianlao.

These people all have families. Some are from aristocratic families, and some are even royal families. Although they are marginal figures, their relatives all hold power. There are also some whose families have fallen on hard times, or whose families have fallen into poverty, but their relatives are still aristocratic families.

This trouble can be said to be very big.

"Your Majesty, this was an intentional arson, and I failed in my duty..."

Although this matter was not his fault, the Heavenly Prison was now under his jurisdiction, so he still had to express his position.

Upon hearing Lord Lu's words, an imperial censor immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, this matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet. Lord Lu must bear great responsibility. The casualties this time are the largest in the past two or three decades..."

"Your Majesty, I also think that Lord Lu should be held responsible this time. If he had managed things more strictly, this would not have happened."

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with this. Lord Lu is investigating many cases right now, and the Tianlao is only under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who deliberately set the fire. How can you blame Lord Lu?"

"Your Majesty, I also think that Lord Lu cannot be blamed. Lord Lu should be given a chance to make amends and find the murderer."

"I second the proposal."

Some ministers who were on good terms with Lord Lu stood up and spoke for him.

Some people are smart and think that this incident will not shake the position of Lu Shangshu, so what's the harm in selling out and saying something good to Lord Lu? Maybe Lord Lu will remember this favor and help them one day.

The emperor listened to what these people said, looked at Prince Chen, and said.

"Chen'er, what do you think?"

"In reply to your uncle, I think Lord Lu should be held responsible for this matter. However, we should first investigate the matter and make amends."

Prince Chen naturally did not say that he would punish Minister Lu.

After hearing Prince Chen's words, the emperor looked at Qin Chen again.

"Prince Qin, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I also think that we should first investigate the truth of the matter."

Qin Chen did not agree with Prince Chen's words and just said that he wanted to find out the truth.

Hearing that Qin Chen did not agree with Prince Chen, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"In that case, let Prince Chen, Prince Ze and the Duke of Qin investigate this matter together with the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple."

When Qin Chen heard the words of the emperor, his face remained calm. He had expected this. The emperor had called him to join in on these matters. In everyone's eyes, the emperor was using him very much.
