This kind of difference not only made the emperor more interested, but also Eunuch Cao took a second look at Xu Jian.

 “What did Shaoer say?” asked the Holy Sage.

 Xu Jian told all what Li Shao said.

This time, I did not over-summarize, nor did I deliberately add or omit some modal particles, and presented Li Shao's situation yesterday to 80% to 90%.

After hearing this, the Holy Spirit relaxed a little and sighed: "He regretted it, but he may not be able to do it again."

 Xu Jian did not answer this sentence.

The Holy Master did not wait for Xu Jian to speak, and continued: "I can understand what you told me a while ago, but I just don't know when Shao'er will cause trouble again. I'm watching too closely. If it’s too loose, it won’t be suitable. This one has a certain degree of relaxation, which is easier said than done.”

Xu Jian smiled softly and said: "You are different from me. You advised me not to think too much and to relax when you have to go to office. I did so because I am just a minister, but you are His Highness. My father is the sage of the world. There is no such thing as a "lower office" when you treat His Highness."

These words fell into the heart of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy One sighed again: "I am also reflecting on whether I, as a father, have not done a good enough job. Yes, it was a trap, just to plot against Shao'er, but Shao'er was plotted and he left on his own. Went in, he was drunk and sleeping with a woman, he is not innocent at all, neither did Sangu, nor did you, but he chose to learn this..."

Xu Jian glanced at the Holy Emperor quickly, trying to figure out what he was thinking, and then there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

The Holy Spirit saw it with sharp eyes and asked: "There are no outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

“Some things that came out when interrogating His Highness’s bodyguards,” Xu Jian pursed her lower lip, “At the beginning of the year, Liu Xun thought he had correctly guessed His Highness’s preferences, so he talked nonsense to two of His Highness’s bodyguards.

There was a guard who had no brains and was trying to rob someone. When His Highness found out, he lost his temper and even Liu Xun got kicked twice.

From this point of view, although His Highness has no taboos in matters between men and women, he really does not get confused or do anything messy. "

The Holy Spirit's face darkened: "Why didn't Shan Shen mention this?"

"The evidence is unclear," Xu Jian said this, not wanting to cause trouble to Mr. Shan, let alone involve Lin Yunyan and the Jin family girl. "The guard and Liu Xun seem to have some grudges, and the guard with a bad mind has long been There was no trace of it, and Liu Xun completely denied it.

 Sir Shan will definitely not mention anything without evidence in the morning.

I will talk about it, but I am just thinking that of course I cannot believe everything the guard said, and Liu Xun denies it all. It is possible that he mentioned it casually or because he was disgusted.

 But at least, His Highness can still tell the difference.

He was caught red-handed this time, no doubt because the layout was too deep, and he didn't understand it himself, so he made one wrong step and one wrong step. "

After hearing this, the Holy Spirit did not pursue the past, but only looked at Xu Jian deeply: "I heard what you mean, do you want to intercede for Shaoer?"

 Xu Jian lowered his head slightly.

The black hands are not so easy to find.

Even if they guessed King Jin's head, they still had to let Li Shao set up the target.

 According to the Holy Spirit's will, Li Shao will step out of the East Palace sooner or later, so it is better for him to get Li Shao two more at this moment.

 When the situation is unclear, facing the prince is the best way to distance yourself.

 After all, it was Xu Jian himself who sent Li Shao to Chenmi Hutong out of anger the night before.

As if he had thought deeply about it, Xu Jian raised his head again, with a much more serious look on his face: "Your Majesty, do you want to depose the prince?"

Eunuch Cao took the teapot to add tea to the Holy One. Hearing this, his hands shook and he almost spilled it.

 He glanced at Xu Jian in astonishment.

Before he came in, he was quite reassured by the Duke of Fu. Unexpectedly, the young Duke suddenly gave him a hard blow.

Hesitating whether to file a lawsuit against Xu Jian, Eunuch Cao listened to the Holy Father's words.

Your Majesty's tone was very calm, word for word: "Some people want me to depose the prince, and it's all written on their faces."

 Who the specific person is, the Holy Spirit did not name it.

"The prince made a mistake, but not to that extent," Xu Jian said, and then added, "That's not a good idea either."

The Holy One glanced at Xu Jian again and signaled him to just keep talking.

 Xu Jian rearranged his thoughts.

 Then he said a few words and paused, looking like he was thinking over and over again.

 Don’t be impatient, be reasonable and well-founded.

“There are indeed quite a few people pretending to be confused in this morning’s court.”

 “This is inevitable, everyone has his own thoughts.”

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a calculation. If even your most beloved Crown Prince will be given up when being calculated in this way, what about the other princes?"

“It’s not easy to scheme against people, and it’s even more difficult to do it flawlessly and escape unscathed, but as long as someone succeeds once, others will follow suit.”

“We are all seniors who have been working hard in the court for decades. The most important thing they lack is self-confidence. If others can do it, can’t I?”

“The threshold is too low and the benefits are so huge, who wouldn’t be willing to take a gamble?”

“At that time, it may be difficult for your highnesses to grow up safely. Even if they grow up, they will still be in panic.”

"Although everyone in the royal family has to go through this, you can't bear to do it."

“You dote on His Highness the Crown Prince, but the other Highnesses are also your royal sons.”

 Xu Jian finished speaking.

The Holy Father was silent for a long time.

He has never thought about deposing the crown prince. It is true that he prefers Shaoer. At the same time, what Xu Jian said is not unexpected to him.

 The prince's involvement in the court, whether it is established or abolished, is not a simple matter.

 Once it is not handled properly, there will be a series of troubles later.

At the same time, the Holy One also knew that at Xu Jian's age, he could understand the truth, and it was even more impossible for those old foxes to understand.

It is true that everyone is pretending to be confused and trying to seek their own interests.

Speaking of this issue openly and honestly, the Holy Master simply said to Xu Jian: "Shaoer made a mistake and had to be punished. I really hope that he can learn from it and gain wisdom.

I can give him a lot, but I cannot give him too much regardless. As you said, I am not only his father, I am also the sage of the world.

 He doesn’t make any progress, and I’m the most saddened.

This time, I can suppress it for him, but next time he will be plotted like this, or will he not be able to handle it himself?

Furthermore, you have seen clearly today that just being banned is probably not enough unless Shan Qing and the others can find out the person behind the plot. "

Xu Jian said: "Judging from the current progress, it is difficult to catch people. Moreover, there is a dancer who is not in good condition. She may..."

 The Holy Spirit raised his hand and pressed his forehead.

After laying the groundwork for a long time, Xu Jian saw the opportunity: "I have something to do..."

 “Speak directly.” The Holy Master said hoarsely.

“Did the men you sent to Jiangzhou find the bones?” Xu Jian asked.

The Holy Father suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xu Jian solemnly: "Why do you ask this?"

Xu Jian was not afraid and spoke very sincerely: "The person who led Mr. Shan and others to Chenmi Hutong this time was the monk Daoheng. Whether he is from Li Mi or has another identity, only he knows.

 But externally, he has a close relationship with Wang Liuliu, and they are both Li Mi's old subordinates.

If the real culprit cannot be found, can the matter be blamed on Li Gui? "

The Holy Spirit thought for a long time and said: "Li Mi is dead. The bones outside Jiangzhou City are his. He was born with six fingers on his right foot. It is not easy to fake it."

“So,” Xu Jian pretended to think, “is someone acting under Li Mi’s banner?”

The Holy Spirit chuckled. As a brother, he knew Li Mi to some extent.

Li Mi is an impatient man, like a pile of dry straw. If a spark falls into it, it will crackle and explode.

At that time, he was a pioneer in exchanging refugees for meritorious service, and he was also a pioneer in questioning Li Cang. If he had not been at the forefront, he would not have been demoted to a commoner by the late emperor.

Perhaps, the experience of going from heaven to earth will make Li Mi change his temper, but if his impulsive temperament can make Zhu Chang serve, the emperor has always had doubts.

 As for Wang’s mouth in the sixth year...

 Truth and falsehood are mixed together, and the muddy water becomes more and more chaotic.

While thinking about it, the Holy Father looked at Xu Jian again.

His previous speculations were mostly about the concubine's mother-in-law who had ulterior motives, but when Xu Jian mentioned it, he opened up a new idea.

 “What specific ideas do you have in mind?” he asked.

"I want to..." Xu Jian thought about this for almost half a quarter of an hour.

The Holy Spirit didn’t urge me, as he himself had a lot of ideas to sort out.

After Xu Jian finished pretending to think, he said: "Gold Bricks, do you still remember the two boxes of gold bricks in Wang's six-year confession?

No one knows where the gold bricks went. What if they appeared in Chenmi Hutong?

For a real black hand, disrupting his arrangements may allow him to respond actively. Once he becomes active, flaws will be revealed.

 As for other people with ulterior motives, once they find out that they not only have to compete with the prince, but also with other young royal highnesses, and even plot with your brothers, they will be more or less jealous.

Once the prince fell, they fought to the end for their respective highnesses, but your brother picked the peach...

I want to mislead them here. No one likes to make wedding clothes for others. "

The Holy One listened attentively.

 In his opinion, Xu Jian's idea is quite interesting.

Although there are some imperfections, it is already pretty good to be able to sort this out in just half an hour.

Of course, it is also possible that he came prepared and just hid his stupidity appropriately.

The Holy Spirit is not opposed to this.

 When monarchs and ministers get along, no matter how frank they are, they will also have a certain degree of restraint.

Compared to the aggressive and impatient veterans, Xu Jian at least stood firmer.

  Xu Jian was not involved with the concubines, but was more familiar with Shao'er.

Although Xu Jian's leg injury was caused by Shao'er, the Holy Master looked at Xu Jian's temperament and would not be dissatisfied with Shao'er because of this.

 Xu Jian married Ning'an again.

 Xu Jian, there is no reason to be dissatisfied.

The Holy Spirit thought a lot and said: "There are two boxes of gold bricks in the palace, but taking them out will make too much noise."

The weight is really hard to move without a few hands.

It is not easy to place two boxes of gold bricks in the house without being noticed.

 Not to mention that Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen were watching the house at the moment, so were everyone else.

"Only two or three yuan?" Xu Jian asked, "Can it make people think of Li Guitou at once?"

 He asked knowingly.

He knew that there were traces on Li Mi's gold bricks, which was also a clue for them to determine the origin of the gold bricks at that time.

 But he had to pretend not to know and let the Holy Spirit come up to make up for it.

The Holy Father recalled it for a while, then drew a stroke on the paper and showed it to Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao nodded: "Like."

The Holy Emperor then gave the paper to Xu Jian again: "Li Mi has a habit of signing his name. If there is such a trace left on the gold brick, it can be pushed to him."

Xu Jian suddenly realized it and looked troubled.

Gold is not that hard, but several different gold bricks have to carve the same marks after being formed, and they are natural, which is a test of craftsmanship.

 It is best to leave it on the mold, melt it and recast it, and there will be no difference in the shape.

 “Time is tight,” he said, “recasting takes time.”

The Holy Sage asked: "Is there any goldsmith with excellent skills?"

"I have inquired about it," Xu Jian said honestly without blushing, "I wanted to buy some jewelry as a gift for the princess, so I sent people to the various gold shops in the city, but most of them were doing delicate work of making women's jewelry... "

The Holy Emperor made the final decision: "Choose a suitable person. It's too late to recast it. Try carving one or two pieces. If you can get a seventy-eight-point image, you can handle it. You can do it privately and hide it from Shan Qing and Wan Qing first."

Xu Jian was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed, and then said: "I have one more thing to do. Liu Xun acted improperly and led the prince astray. He..."

The Holy Master frowned.

 He did not believe that Xu Jian would be so stupid that he would even help Liu Xun.

"He deserves it, and Lord Liu cannot escape accountability," Xu Jian said respectfully, "It's just Lord Liu's wife and daughter. I want to ask for a favor."

 The Holy Spirit was noncommittal.

Xu Jian stood up and bowed: "The princess lost her mother when she was young. Even if she is not close to her, the relationship is a bit complicated, but I still hope to have such an identity there."

 He has to let the Holy One see his selfishness.

He was just sharing worries and solving problems, just looking for solutions for Li Shao. He, who was always looking for fun, seemed too active even if he was asked to go to Shuntian Mansion to assist in the investigation.

 Only selfishness can support his positivity.

 The Holy Father closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

 The word mother is so heavy.

 This is what he and Shao'er owe Ning'an.

 Furthermore, as the king of a country, he does not like to "leave no one behind in the family" at every turn.

Besides, it is unjustifiable that he used Li Mi to suppress Shaoer but showed no mercy to the Liu family.

 It was rare for Xu Jian to ask for help, or in other words, it was rare for him to have his own selfish motives.

 “You are a mouthful, but you have a heart.” The Holy Emperor raised his hand and nodded to Xu Jian, “It is for the sake of peace and safety, but you cannot ignore your biological mother. I know it well.”

 Xu Jian thanked him.

Xu Jian left the imperial study with the word "汨" written by the Holy Master himself.

Eunuch Cao privately took two gold bricks and gave them to Xu Jian.

Xu Jian accepted it and sent it to a trustworthy gold shop, where he found a master craftsman to carve it and try it out.

The old master was busy until the afternoon and didn't even bother to eat lunch. He relied on his superb craftsmanship to deliver the goods.

Xu Jian looked at the light carefully.

 It can't compare to the real thing in his hand, but for people who have never seen the real thing, it can look real for a while.
