The happy life of the devil and the devil

Even though he had been taught to be submissive, when asked this question, Li Zhongming still flinched obviously, and tightly closed his lips.It wasn't until Li Minxing raised his chin that Xuanjiawei, who was executing the sentence next to him, came up, that he moved his lips, and the voice was so soft that it was almost drowned in Song Ming's crackling sound as soon as he uttered:

"...It's the prince."

"Who?!"

Li Minxing stood up straight!His heart was beating violently, and his eyes were dark as soon as he took a step, and he didn't fall back into the chair thanks to his usual hard work.

And his shouting and questioning had been lost in Li Zhongming's hoarse screams.

"What a guts!" The black-clothed guard pinched Li Zhongming with his palms like cast copper, no matter how much he screamed and struggled, he would not be moved. His voice was low, only a few people in the room hear you clearly:

"How dare you bite His Highness the Crown Prince!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Minxing suddenly realized.

Ginger is really old and spicy!He will never get it on himself if he is beaten into a trick and accuses the prince of defilement!

Immediately he looked utterly pissed--in fact he was really pissed off, but, without a little pretense, there were some things he couldn't say:

"You hate our father and son! Why, if one plan fails, another plan will be made. You must kill my father? --Bite the prince, this is the crime of exterminating the nine clans!"

While talking, he turned his head: "Hit me hard! Let's teach him a lesson first, and then try to make him tell the truth!"

"It's really a prince! It's a prince!" Li Zhongming howled miserably, and said intermittently: "We can't believe what others say! Big nephew, do you think that the position of General Heishui can be granted by one person? If it weren't for the prince Open your mouth and change someone else, how could I do such a thing of losing my head!"

"You believed him when he told you that he was the crown prince?" Li Minxing continued to sneer: "One day a secret agent from Su Luo will come and say that your head will be beheaded according to His Majesty's order, and you also stretched your neck to let him do it?"

"Of course not!" The pain became more severe, and Li Zhongming gasped in embarrassment. There was no time to make up, so he could only tell the situation: "That person is someone close to the prince! I know him! He brought the prince's token over here! "

"Idiot! You know the token is not fake?"

Li Minxing exchanged glances with Xuanjiawei who was executing the sentence, and sat back on the chair with a cold face.The Xuanjia guard bowed lightly, gestured to another black-clothed guard who was in charge of recording in the corner, and went forward with the guy in his arms to ask.

That Xuanjiawei is also a good hand in torture, from the identity of the messenger, what he looks like, when and where he met Li Zhongming, to where he met when he came this time, how many times he met, and what he said , The envoy's clothes, the environment and furnishings of the room, did they have any meals together at that time, and asked repeatedly for details one by one.

After asking all the questions once, he messed up the order of the questions he asked just now and started again from the beginning. Li Zhongming had to suffer a lot when encountering a little inconsistency.This kind of questioning is extremely detailed and time-consuming. After all the details are right, Li Zhongming has already fainted several times, and was poured at least three bowls of ginseng soup with his nose pinched.

...It is indeed the prince.

Li Minxing looked at the yellow jade pendant in the tray, and remained silent.He has also met the person Li Zhongming mentioned, and more than once, both in terms of name and appearance. More importantly, it is the jade pendant that he saw on the prince's waist when he participated in the big hunting. .

The autumn mountain pendant favored by the nobles of Daliang, the fierce tiger pounces on the oak leaves in the dense forest, and the elk run away in panic. It is vivid in shape and smooth in knife work.The most rare thing is that in the center of the pendant jade pendant, there is a naive cub tiger playing on its own, with only half of its tail sticking out of the bushes, and the tip of its curled tail is pointing in the direction of the tigress.

I heard from the seniors who came to the class in the Jinwu Guard that this autumn mountain pendant was given to the crown prince when he shot and killed a tiger for the first time. His Majesty rewarded him with it...

"You left this jade pendant, can the prince's people accept it?"

"He doesn't know - I found a similar piece of jade, dropped the bag in front of him, and smashed it..."

Li Minxing was dumbfounded.His uncle has no other skills, the work in his hands is first-class, and he used to trick him into playing tricks when he was a child, no matter how hard he opened his eyes, he couldn't see any flaws.Find a piece of jade that is similar in color and looks a bit like it, and smash it on the spot, maybe you really can't see it?

And more importantly, under the jade pendant, is the piece of silk full of handwriting.

He didn't order someone to assassinate General Heishui - no matter how stupid the crown prince is, it's impossible for him to leave such an excuse.From the beginning to the end of the warrant, it only said that Li Jinxing, the head of the Heishui tribe, was seriously ill and could not be in charge of the council, and ordered his son to act cheaply and take charge of the affairs of the Heishui tribe.At the end, the bright red seals pierced people's eyes.

It looks normal.If not, such a major event should be announced to His Majesty immediately, and then His Majesty will appoint the person in power of the Blackwater Department.

Prince...

Prince!

Li Minxing got up abruptly, bowed solemnly to the two Xuanjia guards who had just finished their work and were sitting on the side resting, grabbed the confession and evidence and ran out.Gritting his teeth firmly along the way, he went straight to the outside of his father Li Zhongcheng's residence before saying in a cold voice:

"Bring the seal of General Heishui! I will confess this matter!"

As soon as the memorial came up, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

Not every memorial will be sent to Yuan Shao immediately.

The memorials were sent to the central center from the six ministries, divisions, armies, and local officials, and first gathered in the political affairs hall.If the secret papers are directly forwarded to His Majesty, and if they are issued explicitly, the Political Affairs Hall will classify and sort them according to the content of the memorials, compose an abbreviation, and then send them to His Majesty for review before the palace gates are closed that day at the latest.For example, in the New Year's Day memorial, the Zhengshitang will insert a small note in the memorial, with four words that rhyme in the same pattern: Respectfully welcome Sheng'an.

It is obviously impossible for one person to do so many things.In the political affairs hall, Zhu Guo of the left and right is a respected and respected person, usually sitting there drinking tea and chatting, and making a fuss when something important happens.The main people who work are the privy secretaries and the Pingzhang left and right. The privy secretaries are in charge of the army, and Pingzhang is in charge of the government. Each of them leads a group of young people to fight against the memorials collected from all directions every day.

Cough, by the way, except for the few times that Ling Yucheng had agreed with Yuan Shao to build momentum, all the memorials presented to Yuan Shao were all secret.Of course, most of the time he didn't even write secret books, so if there was anything to do, just talk about it in person.

All in all, the result of this sorting mechanism of memorials is that before Li Minxing's memorials are sent to Yuan Shao's desk, those who should know and who should not know already know... what?You say keep it secret?

Please, there are no secrets in Zhengshitang.Besides, if there is something that really needs to be kept secret, of course secret notes are used, and it is not that General Blackwater does not have the right to secret notes.Doesn't the meaning of expressly begging to send it out mean that the two sides will tear each other apart and insist on making a big fuss, either you die or I die.

And on this day, when Li Minxing's memorial was sent to Yuan Shao respectfully by the six leaders of the Zhengshitang, the Zhengshitang, which had no tigers in the mountains for the time being, had already become a beehive that exploded.Those young people who walk around the Zhengshitang with the titles of servants, sheren, and lords, whoever has a way to slip away, are using all channels to tell their relatives and friends:

The queen is finally going to kill the prince!

You see, the tens of thousands of troops advancing Su Luo are controlled by the queen, and Li Minxing, who was on the scene, served as the queen's bodyguard for two years, and even General Heishui has long surrendered to the queen.This memorial is Li Minxing's own idea, and has nothing to do with the queen, do you believe it?

Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway.

In the middle of the commotion caused by whispers, Yuan Shao sat silently, the Qiushan Pei, which was fiercely hunting deer, in his hand, was already slightly hot from the rubbing.

"... Pass the crown prince!"

The Crown Prince's East Palace is on the east of the central axis of the imperial palace, quite a distance from Zhaoxin Hall, and riding back and forth on horseback would take a long time.However, Yuan Shao didn't even finish his cup of tea, footsteps sounded hastily outside the curtain, the prince bowed his head and went in, plopping down on his knees.

"Father, my son has been wronged!"

Yuan Shao frowned, and almost threw the teacup in his hand.The servant he sent at most walked halfway at the moment, and the prince came to complain now, and there was only one reason for it——

"Are you peeping at the memorial?"

This sentence was barely held back by him at the last moment.Peeping at the memorial is indeed a serious crime, but once the matter of Li Minxing's memorial is confirmed, there will be no more than this, and a lot less; if it cannot be proved, then it will not be too late to reprimand him slowly.Yuan Shao took a deep breath, grabbed the warrant with the prince's private seal on the case, and smashed it together with the memorial on the blue brick floor in front of the prince:

"Nizi! See for yourself!"

Li Minxing's memorial was written so that those who heard it wept, and those who saw it were sad.The general at the front fought bloody battles to open up territories for the country. It is already chilling not to reward him for his meritorious deeds, and he will be assassinated by someone sent by the prince.What's more, it is to lure one's relatives to do it, brother to brother, flesh and blood torn apart, it is really heartbreaking...

"Father, my son is wronged! Even if my son is unworthy, if he occasionally slacks in supervising the country and governing the country, and disappoints his father, how dare he risk the disgrace of the world and attack the important ministers and generals of the country! Take ten thousand steps back and say, my son! He is already a crown prince, and his father is in the prime of his life, so what is the benefit of being a son..."

Yuan Shao let out a long sigh.

To be honest, confessions can be forged, jade pendants can be stolen, and those ineffective brothers of General Heishui can be tortured into tricks.In addition, the jade pendant and the warrant alone cannot prove that the prince really wants to assassinate Li Zhongcheng.

It is absolutely inappropriate to rashly convict the prince based on Li Minxing's memorial and the evidence attached to it before he sent to interrogate the criminals and verify all the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

However, this does not mean that before that, he had nothing to ask the prince.

"What does this warrant mean?"

"My son..."

"Li Jinxing is seriously ill, why didn't I know about it? --When did I ask you to handle the affairs of the Black Water Department?"

"My son..."

"Say!"

Yuan Shao's face became colder and colder during the crown prince's babbled and inconsistent excuses.

Good money, love of beauties, lack of open-mindedness, lack of open-mindedness, even slack in dealing with political affairs, and suspicion of not being able to tolerate his own younger brother, these are not fatal flaws - some can be taught slowly, and some, even if they are not Changing it will not prevent him from becoming a good emperor in the future.

However, no emperor who self-destructed the Great Wall and assassinated generals during the bloody battle ahead could defend the country.

But he can't do anything now.

Before Li Minxing's memorial is confirmed or falsified, the crown prince's reputation and status must not be damaged in the slightest!

"From today onwards, you will be by my side, watch the government, and handle state affairs with me." His voice suddenly sank: "Besides, the East Palace is forbidden to enter and leave! Without my will, you are not allowed to go out." One step at a time, good at seeing only one person!"

The author has something to say: found that I made a mistake...

The current head of the Blackwater Tribe is named Li Jinxing, his son and grandson should be taboo, Brother Min should not be called Li Minxing...

Forget it, just think that ethnic minorities take Chinese names to catch up with the trend, and there is no awareness of avoiding this, right?

Most of the time, Ling Yucheng didn't even read the secret booklet, so if there was anything to do, just talk about it face to face. (Whisper: We generally call this kind of behavior: pillow wind~~~~)
