Qing Jialu

After His Majesty left, Shen Jia was ordered to interrogate the case overnight with Jiang Ji, the commander of Jinyiwei. The two interrogated the case for three consecutive days, and arrested the people who were connected by Guo Shaochun's confession. Get rid of your accomplices.

This battle seemed to be a complete victory, but Jiang Ji still looked heavy.All the clues show that the mastermind is King Kui.

"Your Majesty Shen has worked hard." Jiang Ji actually smiled at Shen Jia, "Thanks to Master Shen's inquiring about the details, the case went to trial so quickly. Now everything is clear, and I can report to His Majesty."

Unexpectedly, the fierce Jin Yiwei would have such a polite day.But Shen Jia was obedient and knew what Jiang Ji really meant, and told him to report to His Majesty.

After all, it involves King Kui, His Majesty's most beloved third brother, who knows whether His Majesty will be angry or happy after hearing this.

But Shen Jia was not afraid, he took over the case and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.But the father-in-law who was on duty to guard the Hall of Mental Cultivation said that His Majesty is not in the Forbidden Palace and has gone to Xiyuan.

Xiyuan is located on the west side of the Forbidden City. It is a royal garden built during the Hongwu period. After Emperor Yongwen succeeded to the throne, he once again carried out large-scale construction projects to build Huixi, Chenghua and other halls, and Baoyue and other pavilions.Today, Xiyuan is large in scale, and palaces and pavilions have been built on the west bank of Taiye Pool for emperors to handle government affairs, have fun, and visit temples and temples.

When Shen Jia came to Xiyuan for the first time, he saw that this place not only has the beauty of shady trees, but also the beauty of misty waves. The water surface of Taiye Pool is sparkling, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

No wonder His Majesty came here to meditate.Shen Jia heard from the father-in-law on duty that when His Majesty was in a bad mood, he often came to Xiyuan to practice Taoism.

Sure enough, Xiao Yi has been reading scriptures in the Zen room since the end of noon, and has been in retreat until now.Hearing that Eunuch Chen said that Shen Jia was coming, he asked him to wait in Yuxi Palace.

Not long after, Xiao Yi walked in wearing a Taoist robe.Shen Jia stood up and saluted, His Majesty called out lightly.Listening to His Majesty's voice, Shen Jia was as peaceful as usual.

"Your Majesty, this is the criminal's confession." Shen Jia handed over the case and stood aside, "A total of fifteen people were arrested, including nine assassins, five informants, and one who is the concierge of Prince Kui's residence."

Having said this, Shen Jia stopped, and was a little surprised to see that Xiao Yi didn't express anything.

It is really puzzling that His Majesty didn't have Longyan's fury, sadness and disappointment.

Hearing that Shen Jia didn't continue, Xiao Yi knew what Shen Jia was thinking, so he said, "I know."

"Your Majesty, do you want to interrogate King Kui?" Shen Jia asked.

"No need."

"Your Majesty?" Shen Jia had anticipated many situations, but he did not expect that His Majesty would not only not be angry, but also gently let King Kui go.

Only Xiao Yi knew how crazy his third brother was.I beat him up before, so I harbored resentment and waited for an opportunity to retaliate.For a crazy person like King Kui, he would not be surprised if he did anything unbelievable.

And the brotherhood between him and his third brother is not as close as outsiders can see.

"This is my housework. I will handle it myself. You don't have to worry about it." Xiao Yi said.

"The assassination of the Son of Heaven is a very important matter." Shen Jia remembered that Xiao Yi had taken the blame for King Kui before, and he couldn't get angry. Your Majesty subsidizes the construction of the palace from internal funds, and wants you to help him take the blame. Now it is even worse, hiring someone to assassinate His Majesty. Your Majesty, this man is ambitious and cannot be tolerated."

Seeing Shen Jia's angry look, Xiao Yi felt very fresh.Others were afraid that Longyan's anger would hurt themselves, but Shen Jia was the only one who defended him, even more angry than him as a victim.

"You, you, do you still remember the building of the palace?" Xiao Yi smiled, "It seems that you can't mess with literati. Your literati's mouth is really stronger than a warrior's sword."

Shen Jia looked at Xiao Yu with an aggrieved face, he heard His Majesty's implication, that he was stingy and fond of holding grudges.

But he, isn't it for Xiao Yi?

"Why didn't Your Majesty deal with King Kui?" Shen Jia insisted.

"Hey." Xiao Yi sighed, "The grievances and grievances between me and my third brother are too complicated, and I really don't know how to 'dispose' him."

Shen Jia frowned slightly, he was the only son, his parents died young, and he had no brothers or sisters, so naturally he didn't understand His Majesty's entanglements.

"The reason why I gave King Kui money from internal funds to build the palace was because I owe him." Xiao Yi explained, "I was in Qinzhou back then, and I was guarded by the abolished emperor. I couldn't do anything. It was Kui. The king used his own money to build weapons, buy horses and armour, contact various parties, and help me accomplish things.”

Shen Jia didn't know that King Kui had the power to follow the dragon, no wonder King Kui was defiant in Beijing, and even Xiao Yi acquiesced in his arbitrary actions.

"Then why did he assassinate His Majesty? Could it be that he wants to usurp the throne?" Shen Jia was puzzled.

"Because of the death of the deposed emperor's heir, I beat him up." Xiao Yi said helplessly, "He will take revenge."

Shen Jia suddenly felt speechless: "...Is it because of this?"

"King Kui's behavior cannot be speculated according to common sense." Xiao Yi said, "It's just that he has the intention to usurp the throne, but I don't believe it. As long as he doesn't endanger the country and society in the future, I will turn a blind eye and close one eye."

"Your Majesty only cares about the country and the country, and doesn't care about your own safety? What if an assassin stabs you, what if you get injured..." Shen Jia said, her eyes turned red.He only felt that his chest was heavy, as if a big rock was pressed against it.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yi felt strange in his heart.He remembered that day when Shen Jia asked himself what he thought of the relationship between the deposed emperor and Guo Shaochun.At that time, he felt that the question was a bit inexplicable, but was interrupted by Commander Jiang, so he put it aside without thinking about it.

Now that Shen Jia is like this again, it makes his heart sour and sweet.He looked at Shen Jia and didn't know what to say, so he said indifferently: "Guo Shaochun's flamboyant punches and embroidered legs can't hurt me at all."

"He was also poisoned." Shen Jia said, "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, how can Your Majesty let King Kui do anything wrong?"

"Changqing is worried about me, I know you are loyal." Xiao Yi said pretending not to know.

But he knew it wasn't just about being faithful.He really didn't dare to look into Shen Jia's eyes, he understood the affection in Chang Qing's eyes, but he couldn't respond.
