Records of the King of Xin'an County

Due to the supervision of the rumor case, these days, Li Hui and Li Jing have been going in and out of Dali Temple every day, diligently and never slack off.Not only Prince Pu's Mansion and Prince Yue's Mansion, but even the court officials were already used to seeing the two county kings coming and going on their way to and from the public office, so they naturally felt that it was reasonable for them to stay in Dali Temple for a long time.

In addition, the minister of Dali Temple strictly kept the secrets and covered up the case so tightly that even low-level officials were dismissed with excuses, without knowing the inside story.Therefore, although the trial of the Gongju fraud case has begun, no one knows that the two county kings have been reduced from the ministers who supervised the case to the people who are on trial except for a few courtiers who have been involved in the case-however, the well-informed Chang Ning The princess is an exception.

The impeachment of the two supervisory censors in the Shuowang Dynasty has been heard word by word, which is enough to make her very angry.Afterwards, she sent people to investigate again, but after hearing that the sage and the king of Yue had a secret discussion in the Hall of Liangyi for a while, they summoned Sansi and You Pushe one after another.Immediately afterwards, the two censors also disappeared into Dali Temple.

Princess Changning was originally a smart person, after thinking about it for a while, she guessed that it was close to ten, and she became more and more annoyed: "Grandfather and Shifu knew that the brothers had been wronged, so why did they agree to file a case and let the brothers go to court?" Trial? Doesn't this fuel the arrogance of those two bastards even more?"

"Yue Niang, don't worry, your grandpa must have his reasons for doing things." Empress Du leaned on the soft couch and persuaded softly.Ever since she gave birth to Princess Yong'an, she has been seriously ill and has not been recuperated. She is almost absent from all kinds of banquets and celebrations in the palace on weekdays.As a result, there were many rumors in the dark, saying that she was already terminally ill, and she was almost shameless.And the empress position she occupies will fall into Concubine Yang Xian or Concubine Yuan Shu's pocket sooner or later.

However, if someone with good medical skills looked carefully at this time, they would find that Empress Du's complexion was not as weak as the rumors said.Although she was much thinner and looked a little frail, the calm demeanor between her brows was still there, and there was a thin layer of blood on her cheeks.After three years of intensive care, she was undoubtedly recovering gradually.Although he is still not as healthy as before, he is no longer a seriously ill person who can't even leave his bed.

"This matter sounds so absurd, I shouldn't have paid any attention to them." Princess Changning was a little anxious, "Since I have paid attention to them, it is very likely to attract people who are interested in it, and it will be difficult to calm down the impact of this matter." I know what grandpa is afraid of, but I am more worried about the reputation and safety of the two brothers... No, I can't just wait like this, I have to do something. A Niang, let Wanniang stay with you today , I want to leave the palace."

Empress Du looked at her lovingly, and couldn't bear to stop her: "Go." However, when she watched her eldest daughter leave, she couldn't help sighing softly in her heart.Perhaps because of the urgency to protect her and her younger sister, Chang Ning's temperament has become more decisive and independent in the past few years.Although I am a little impatient occasionally, it is just that I am inexperienced and lack tempering.How wonderful would it be if she were a young gentleman?With the saint's love and admiration for her, and with her status as the eldest son, she will definitely be able to secure her position in the Eastern Palace.

However, she is a very strong little lady, a smart and stubborn princess.This child is getting farther and farther away from the image of a noble girl in her mind.But this can't be blamed on her, maybe she shouldn't force her daughter with the upbringing of a family daughter.As the daughter of the Son of Heaven, why should she abide by those inexplicable rules?On the contrary, let yourself not live happily enough?

Forget it, let her go.Thinking of this, Empress Du slightly raised the corners of her lips: She is already very satisfied in this life to have a smart and decisive daughter, an innocent and lovely daughter.As for those ghosts and monsters in the harem, let them be proud of this moment.The bait released three years ago will catch many big fish sooner or later.However, now is the time when the wind and rain are about to come, she doesn't need to get her hands dirty on purpose, she can just laugh and watch them fight to the death.

What should belong to their mother and daughter, she will never give it to anyone.Those that do not belong to them but are closely related to them should also be carefully planned.You can't fall into a situation where you can't do anything in the future, so that you can't move an inch-the natal family doesn't have anyone available, and if you promote them, it will be easy to attract attention.As for the royal clan, the nephews are good children who are affectionate and righteous, and there must be no mistakes.As for the son-in-law—Chengguo Duke's Mansion and Yan Zhan, I don't know if they can be trusted.

After Princess Changning dressed up as a man and left the palace, she immediately went to Prince Pu's mansion.Li Hui was not there, so she naturally rushed to nothing, but very naturally ordered Zhang Fu's mother to send someone to call the prince Xian over.When Wang Zixian arrived in a hurry, she immediately informed him of the impeachment and filing of the case: "Dali Temple is also looking for the two supervisory censors, have you ever heard that some scribes went to look for them two days ago? Without further ado, these people must be investigated clearly, otherwise it is easy to be tampered with and erase the traces of the front and back."

"The matter of scribes has already been followed. Don't worry, your lord, none of them can escape." Wang Zixian replied calmly, "As for the supervisory censor, I will let someone investigate immediately. But—" He frowned , "I'm a little worried...Wai Lang, the official examiner. Since the two censors dared to impeach the county king, it must be more than absurd fame. They can stay in the officialdom until today, no matter how stupid and short-sighted they are, they are not Maybe I don't understand what kind of danger I'm taking." The reason for this matter is all tied to the tester Wailang, he is the most critical chess piece, which can almost determine success or failure, so we have to guard against it!

"You mean, they used Wailang, a merit tester from the Ministry of Officials, as a follow-up? When everyone thought they were sure to lose, the meritorious service examiner from the Ministry of Officials, Wailang, came forward to testify and frame the two elder brothers..." Princess Changning's almond-eyed eyes Yuan opened his eyes, "Who is so vicious? To put the two brothers into such a situation?!"

"...Who will make the move? Wailang, the inspector censor and merit examiner of the Ministry of Officials, has a low-ranking position. It is very cost-effective to exchange them for two ruined clan kings. More importantly, these two county kings were born in the same family. Prince Pu's mansion, a man born in Yue's mansion, is obviously more likely to alienate the brothers of the Tian family. And... Your lord trusts and relies the most on these two elder brothers, aren't they?" Wang Zixian replied in a low voice.

Princess Changning was stunned, and bit her red lips lightly: "We are powerless now, only by taking advantage of this time to completely extinguish my support, can they rest assured?... Oh, the Yang family, Princess Anxing... ...She actually asked Cheng Qing to follow the case?! What kind of elders are you pretending to be!! Hypocritical, it's extremely hateful!!"

"Your lord, this is not the time to be angry. We must contact the Yue Palace as soon as possible, and at the same time invite Princess Qinghe and Princess Linchuan to come forward." Wang Zixian continued, "I will send someone to investigate the meritorious member Wailang quickly. Before they completely wiped out the evidence, try to keep one or two."

Before, he had asked people to check the chief officer of the provincial examination, just to find out his preferences, so that it would be easier to judge how to answer the papers during the provincial examination, so that he could match his preferences.At that time, it was just a quick search, and I got a lot of information—what did he ignore?Can it be found again?No, no matter whether he can find it or not, he has to look for it, and he must never let Xuan Qi make any mistakes!

Just as Xuan Qi protects his heart, he will never allow anyone to hurt him!

___________________________________________________________

At the same moment, in the main hall of the Dali Temple, the chief officials of the three divisions looked at the subpoenaed officer Wailang in shock, almost stunned by his convincing testimony.Yu Shi Zhongcheng couldn't help but asked again: "You mean, there is indeed nothing unusual about the letters and posts, but the king of Xin'an County and the king of Tianshui County met you in private and clearly mentioned that you should order the prince to be a first-class prince." head?"

Wailang, an examiner of the Ministry of Officials, nodded slightly, showing guilt: "I don't dare to hide anything. In fact, I don't want to agree, but Xin'an County King and Tianshui County King... After all, they are from the first rank. The prince of the county, how can...how can he disobey?" He is a middle-aged man with gray beard and hair, with a thin and thin figure, and he does not seem to have any official authority.When showing tearful remorse, on the contrary, people can't help but feel sympathy.

On the other hand, Li Hui and Li Jing are both handsome young men.No matter how gentle one looks, the other looks very straightforward, and they are both nobles of the Tian family, elegant and noble, awe-inspiring but not to be offended.Two strong and one weak, bullying the weak seems not uncommon, isn't it?What's more, the two county kings are still young, so it makes sense to do such a thing out of impulse.

"Nonsense!" Li Jing was furious immediately, "I've never seen you before! Why did you threaten you to do anything?! You dare to slander us two brothers, you are really audacious!!"

Li Hui could not hide his anger, but his reaction was calmer than that of his cousin: "From the beginning to the end, I only sent you a post with someone, and I have never met. Why do you want to make a false accusation? We are just out of friendship. I have recommended my friends, and there are all the letters and posts, so why do I need to meet you in person again?"

"Your Majesty and Wang Zixian have a close relationship, so naturally they can't bear his failure, so they want to make him famous in Chang'an. Is there any faster way to become famous than winning the first place?" The two supervisory censors added fuel to the flames and sneered. He said, "Even Wailang, a merit examiner from the Ministry of Officials, has testified. The witnesses and the evidence are convincing. What else do the two great kings have to say?"

"Why should we admit to something we have never done before?!" Li Jing looked back at them, his anger burning even higher, "You guys must have ulterior motives for colluding with each other and intending to frame the clan king! Oh, do it! What good does this kind of framing matter do to you?! There must be a master messenger behind it! One or two must not be let go! We must torture and torture all the people involved in this matter!"

"With the talent presented by the prince, I never believed that he would not be the first, let alone that he would fail." Li Hui frowned slightly, "Why should I do unnecessary things?"

"Whether this is superfluous or not, Your Majesty is naturally clear in his heart." Xu Shiyin was forced to be speechless just now, but the two supervisory censors were very sharp-tongued at this time, sneering and sarcastic, and using everything.

The Minister of Dali Temple is about to reprimand them, not to be disrespectful to the two county kings.Censor Zhongcheng and Minister of the Ministry of Justice shook their heads at him in unison.

This originally absurd case suddenly became complicated due to the rebuttal of Wai Lang, a merit examiner from the Ministry of Officials.This also shows that there are indeed people who are stirring up wind and rain and plotting evil things inside.If these guys called "witnesses" who are actually "criminals" are not allowed to talk and debate triumphantly, it may be difficult to get clues to reverse the case for the two county kings.

Now, it is only temporarily wronged the two county kings.

At this time, a leisurely sentence suddenly came from outside the hall: "Heh, with the ability offered by the prince, if it is not certain that he will be the first-ranked leader, then I will doubt whether there is fraud in the Jinshi Provincial Examination!! The first-ranked leader has already It is in his pocket, so you can get it with your hands!! Since the king is his close friend, naturally he will not be unclear, and there is really no need to do anything superfluous!!"
