Regardless of the reason for the cancellation of the court meeting, today is a waste of time anyway.As for Ding Yue, he said he was going to find out the reason, but there was no further text as soon as he went.

until the next day.

In the Chaoyuan Hall, Xiao Lingfeng was dressed in the purple prince's panlong court uniform, and stood under the imperial steps for a long while before the late arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.

The emperor was supported by Wang Gonggong and Zhao Gonggong to the throne, and when he turned to face the courtiers, Xiao Lingfeng, who was the first under the imperial steps, immediately saw his face clearly.

This Xiao Jue didn't know what was wrong. With his disheveled face and pale lips, he was extremely weak.Even looking carefully, even the eye sockets are a little sunken.

Seeing Xiao Lingfeng gasped.

Could it be that his younger brother is so stingy with his life, because a woman who suddenly appeared on the bed was already so worried that he couldn't sleep peacefully even after changing the head of the guard?

Xiao Jue slowly sat down on the throne.

Looking at Xiao Lingfeng who was standing at the top of all officials under the imperial steps, Xiao Jue couldn't help but feel a sting in his heart.

He already had some regrets for calling Xiao Lingfeng back. Since Xiao Lingfeng came back, everything seemed to be going wrong for him, and he was not happy for a day.

The hand hidden under the imperial case caressed her lower abdomen, Xiao Jue only felt that her stomach was aching again, and she didn't know if it was because the imperial physician's medicine didn't work, or because she saw Xiao Lingfeng angry.

The prince who was standing at the side watched the words and expressions, and when he saw the impatient expression on the emperor's face, he immediately understood, and sang in a thin voice: "There is something to play, and there is nothing to retreat to the court."

However, some people do not understand the subtext.

As soon as the prince finished speaking, one of the civil servants on his right came out holding a wat board: "I have this performance."

Xiao Jue and Xiao Lingfeng frowned at the same time.

Xiao Lingfeng looked at the source of the voice calmly, and saw an elderly man with a gray beard and a thin body, bowed obsessively and said:

"Qizou Your Majesty, I recently sorted out this year's documents and files at Yushitai, and found that Shang Shuling Zhuang Yi knew that Mr. Zhuang's corruption case was involved in another half a year ago. I request Your Majesty to issue an order to re-investigate this case!"

After the voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall became tense in an instant.The bodies of the officials who had experienced that big case shook, and they all sweated for the old man who played.

The case shocked the ruling and opposition parties at the time.No one expected that the seemingly upright and upright Shang Shuling was actually a dignified court moth.

——Even Xiao Jue, who always believed in him, didn't expect——

Therefore, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case.

The investigation of the case was vigorous. The Yushitai of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs took turns to investigate and collect evidence. Anyone who had contacts was tried, and anyone who was implicated was ransacked and sent to prison for joint interrogation by the third division.

Two months later, after Xiao Jue personally supervised the trial, the iron case was settled.

At this time, the old man from Yushitai asked the emperor to re-examine the case as soon as he came out. Did he mean that the emperor also made a mistake in the trial?

Thinking of this, the officials in the hall didn't even dare to say a word, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely quiet.

On the other side, Xiao Lingfeng looked at the minister's back thoughtfully.

Yushitai?

If I remember correctly, then Jiang Yusheng is Yushi Zhongcheng.This time, it seems that Mr.'s people have started to play tricks, as Zhuang Qingyue said, to blame this case on him?

As if not aware of the abnormal atmosphere in the hall, the old man bowed again: "Please re-examine this case, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Lingfeng raised his head calmly, and saw Xiao Jue's face on the throne sinking like water, with dark clouds of oppression in his eyes: "You want to reverse the case?"

Xiao Jue suppressed his anger and said: "That Zhuang Yizhi used the construction of the Huaihe River water conservancy project to embezzle 300 million taels of silver in collusion with officials from the Ministry of Household and Industry. You want to reverse the case for such a person?!"

As soon as the words fell, he waved his sleeves, and all the memorials and gilded ornaments stacked on the imperial case were swept to the ground by him, making heavy noises in the hall.

The old man at Yushitai immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The old minister has no intention of overturning the case for the guilty minister, it's just that there are other involvements and masterminds in this case!"

Xiao Lingfeng's heart trembled: Here we come.

Sure enough, the old man looked at him unintentionally, and then he spoke faster and faster: "The old minister asks His Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation again, and the mastermind behind the scenes must not be allowed to go unpunished!"

This glance was vague, but it fell into the eyes of Xiao Jue who was sitting on the throne, and this glance also precisely pierced Xiao Jue's nerves, causing him to breathe rapidly.

Although Xiao Lingfeng under the imperial steps was prepared, he knew that Xiao Jue was not as sincere to him as he had shown, but the piercing eyes that fell on him like thorns made him see more clearly and thoroughly. It revealed Xiao Jue's true attitude towards him.

Xiao Lingfeng thought a little wildly, the little emperor who had been waiting for him at the gate of the imperial city all morning, and would grab his arm to talk as soon as he met, was just like a hallucination.

He looked at Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue's mood has calmed down, he seems to be a different person at this moment, his expression is indistinguishable from joy and anger, with the majesty of an emperor, full of oppression.

He stared heavily at the old man kneeling on the ground under the imperial steps: "Li Fangyu, you said there is another connection, do you have evidence?"

Li Fangyu, whose name was called, kowtowed again, then straightened up and took out a stack of papers from his arms, holding them in both hands and holding them high above his head: "Your Majesty, please have a look."

Xiao Jue nodded slightly, and the prince immediately went to Li Fangyu to take the stack of papers, and then returned to the imperial case holding it high and presented it to Xiao Jue.

After reading the contents of that stack of paper night after night, Xiao Jue's face became more and more serious.After a while, he pressed the stack of papers, and spoke again with deep anger:

"Li Fangyu, I allow you to re-investigate this case."

He swept his eyes over the group of courtiers standing in the hall, and finally fixed his gaze on Xiao Lingfeng: "This case is important, and it is under the presiding trial of Qing Weizhen of Dali Temple, supervised by King Jingbei, within a month, I will see the result! "

As soon as this remark came out, Li Fangyu, who was kneeling, was stunned, and even Xiao Lingfeng, who was standing under the imperial steps, was also stunned.

Could it be that in the evidence given by Li Fangyu, someone else is actually being pointed at?

He thought back to the way Xiao Jue looked at him just now, and felt that his younger brother had clearly doubted him, so, what does this mean?

Xiao Lingfeng couldn't figure it out. After receiving the order, he involuntarily cast his gaze on Li Fangyu who was kneeling on one side.

However, Li Fangyu was also bewildered by this unexpected decree.

But Li Fangyu soon came to his senses, he ignored his gaffe, and immediately shouted:

"His Majesty!"

Xiao Jue frowned.

Li Fangyu raised his voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to cover up the chief envoy? This King Jingbei..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Jue shouted angrily.

Although Xiao Jue was always a head shorter in imposing manner when facing Xiao Lingfeng, he had no scruples about the courtiers he ruled.

This yell was full of anger, and Li Fangyu was startled, and the half of the words that he didn't say were also stuck in his throat.

Xiao Jue: "Come here, Mr. Li is full of sleepy talk, take Mr. Li down to wake up!"

After the words fell, Huo Qing, the new chief guard who heard the order outside the hall, immediately walked in with two subordinates, and carried Li Fangyu out of the Chaoyuan Hall.

The people in the hall still stood stiffly, not daring to make a sound.

Xiao Jue's originally pale face turned red after this encounter.At this moment, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he waved his hand weakly towards the prince.

Wang Gonggong picked up the dust, and shouted loudly in a high-pitched voice: "Retire!"

Everyone under the steps breathed a sigh of relief, and the courtiers who originally had some trivial matters to report also suppressed the matter at this time, and waited obediently for Xiao Jue to leave.

When Xiao Jue came down to court, the courtiers, who had been tense all morning, immediately wiped off the cold sweat from their foreheads, and strode away from the oppressive Chaoyuan Hall.

Xiao Lingfeng swept his gaze, and saw the figure of Dali Temple Qing Weizhen among those courtiers.

Perhaps Nawei often frowns because he has tried too many important cases in Dali Temple. The deep incision between his brows is very conspicuous and harmonious on that extremely serious face.

At first glance, he is a righteous and honest official.

He caught up with Wei Zhen, and Wei Zhen slowed down as if waiting for him.The two saluted each other and walked side by side towards the outside of the hall.

And when Xiao Lingfeng was still thinking about what to say to him, Wei Zhen quickly entered the mood: "My lord, what do you think about this case?"

Xiao Lingfeng: I have no idea.

Before he could figure out how to answer, a familiar voice called him from behind: "My lord, my lord stay here."

When he turned his head, Eunuch Zhao was after him.Eunuch Zhao bowed to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Wang Ye wait a moment, Lord Wei wait a moment, the emperor invites you two to discuss matters in the imperial study."
