Chapter 688 Meaning

The emperor had been sitting still in his seat for half an hour. And the breath on his body was a little messy, with his eyes closed, his expression sometimes smiled, sometimes ferociously, and finally turned into a long sigh.

"I expected it. I thought I could deal with it indifferently, but it was still hard to avoid the pain in my heart. The second child, he liked to fight for the first place since he was a child. This time he got his wish. He was the first among the seven to die. Hey, this feeling It's not good."

The emperor seemed to be laughing at himself, but also seemed to be confiding.

None of the eunuchs around dared to answer, only Yang Xiusheng, who was guarding the emperor, could respond, "Are you so sure that Yang Ye was killed by one of the others?"

"Is there any other possibility? Uncle has also experienced it. Did the brothers of the royal family still have a brotherhood during the "big exam"?" The emperor's voice trembled slightly, but it returned to normal in an instant. There is a palpable sense of sadness.

One son died, and more would die later. The emperor overestimated his own heart. It is difficult for others to understand the feeling of seeing and contributing to this situation of fratricide.

brother? Before becoming emperor, all those who stood in the way were enemies, where did the brothers come from? In the struggle between life and death, it is natural to use everything to the extreme. And only after sitting on the throne, looking back, can you have the qualifications and life to remember the past, and light a stick of heart incense as a memorial to those losers.

"According to the Department of Major Cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the king should have been killed by some indirect method against the soul. They want to ask the people from Fenghong Villa to come forward and make some inquiries about the method against the soul." Yang Xiusheng also temporarily sighed. He is not worried if the emperor can see it. A person whose heart is not hard enough cannot be an emperor.

The emperor was psychologically prepared for the death of King Qian. To be precise, he was mentally prepared for the death of any prince, the difference was who came first and who came last. The purpose is to let the last surviving victor become the "Prince", and then take over the throne of Jingjiu Dynasty.

But the people below will not slack off in the investigation of this devastating case just because the emperor can "accept" the death of the prince. Ma Xuanlin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, has submitted three papers to plead guilty. Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng also wanted to see him twice. But they were all rejected by the emperor.

Everyone is dead, why does he see those ministers? Are you held accountable? Whether it is Ma Xuanlin or Ye Lansheng, they are not good things. It is still early, let them dance for another two days, and they will naturally be cleaned up in a unified manner.

However, Fenghong Villa is different. Cultivator Golden Sword is the reliance of the royal family. Before the emergence of the new emperor, Cultivator Golden Sword should not appear in things that are easily considered "partial gangs". Even if it is to help the criminal department investigate the case.

So the emperor waved his hand and said, "Uncle, it's not appropriate for you to stay in Fenghong Villa."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"The Criminal Department's main focus is on ordinary cases, not the ones involving monks. Now that the major case division believes that the people who killed Ye'er used sophisticated soul methods, and the Criminal Department is unable to deal with them, then find another one." It’s a yamen that specializes in cases like accounts. It’s not suitable for you Fenghong Villa to get involved at this time.”

"You mean Xuan Qingwei?"

"Well. The original intention of setting up Xuanqing Guards is to eradicate rape and eradicate evil, punish evil and support the Tao. The response methods at the monk level are far from what a yamen like the Ministry of Punishment can match. It is reasonable and reasonable to entrust special affairs to special yamen."

Yang Xiusheng nodded when he heard the words. As for whether it is "reasonable", he has no comment, and it is not up to him to comment. The emperor himself knows what to do. Just now, he asked the emperor what he meant just because the chief case officer of the Ministry of Criminal Justice sent a note to Fenghong Villa to ask for assistance.

The emperor raised his hand, and an eunuch beside him bowed and walked over in small steps, bowing his head and obeying.

"Go and tell the chief case officer. If you can't investigate, ask Xuan Qingwei for assistance. Fenghong Villa is not used by them to investigate the case. In addition, let them return the body of the king, and the royal family will be buried according to the rules.

And King Jing let him out.

Order Pang Ban, I want him to do his best to investigate this case. "

Naturally, the eunuch didn't talk too much, and hurriedly retreated to deliver the order after receiving the order, while Yang Xiusheng looked at the emperor a little more strangely, but he didn't ask. Of course, the emperor didn't intend to explain to Yang Xiusheng.

As for the two people who received the order from the palace, they were dumbfounded.

Xue Gui originally wanted to use the knowledge of the Golden Sword Cultivator to help him find a breakthrough in the case as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also had the abacus that "the Golden Sword Cultivator will not take credit", but now he was stabbed to Xuan Qingwei with a stick by the emperor side went. And according to the emperor's tone, if you don't go to Xuan Qingwei, this case may change hands directly to Xuan Qingwei? !

Pang Ban, who received the warrant, also felt like his forehead had been smashed. He made up his mind to stand by and watch, and even when he heard that King Wen Gan had died unexpectedly in the prison, he specifically told his ministries to keep a low profile and not cause trouble recently, because he didn't want to be targeted at this juncture. But he didn't expect the emperor to directly bring the case of King Qian's murder to Xuan Qingwei.

What is this for?

There are quite a few people who have the same doubts. Almost everyone who has received the news understands that the death of King Qian will not be left alone. But no one thought it would be Xuan Qingwei.

Now Yang Shu, who was in Jingxi, was also discussing what this matter meant with several advisers under his command. Because who knows if they will be involved in this kind of thing in the near future.

"Let's talk about it, why did the father bring the matter of the second brother to Xuan Qingwei's side? At this time, what is the purpose of letting Xuan Qingwei end in this kind of thing? Do you really want to find out the truth?" Yang Shu A little anxiously walking back and forth in the room.

Perhaps because of blood sensitivity, Yang Shu didn't feel gloated at the death of his second elder brother, whom he never wanted to see, but instead felt an unexpected irritability, like a wolf that saw its own kind die violently, with fierce eyes. Light.

Sitting on the chairs, the counselors of guest officials felt like they were sitting on pins and needles. The "big exam" of the royal family is always bloody, and they are prepared for the blood, but they will inevitably feel a little dazed when it is really imminent. However, this does not make them lose their role as counselors. After they stabilized their minds, they made some inferences.

"My lord. This should also be part of the "big test"."

"Huh? Xuan Qingwei has always been neutral. Pang Ban used Jiang Cheng's "personal vendetta" to get rid of Liao Chengfeng, who was close to the third brother. Is it part of the big exam?" Yang Shu clearly disagreed with this point of view.

"My lord, do you think that if a prince is assassinated in normal times, can Xuan Qingwei stay out of the matter? No! So it is only natural that Xuan Qingwei is asked by His Majesty to participate in the investigation. Perhaps what His Majesty wants to express is a warning. If you do it, you must have the ability to avoid Xuan Qingwei, otherwise Xuan Qingwei will only recognize His Majesty and not the Prince."
