('Yue Su nodded, said "Thank you", and followed the chief clerk into the palace. Yue Su's men followed him in, because they had experienced Lord Yue's power last time, and the guard guarding the door wanted to stop him, but he

I dare not. No one intends to kneel down again.

The chief clerk also pretended not to see it. Mr. Yue was too aggressive last time. If he really provoked him and showed Shang Fang's sword, it would not be the result. Why bother asking for trouble?

Leading the way to the Yin'an Hall from the chief clerk, Yue Su nodded slightly and said, "The governor of Henan, Shaobao Yue Su is here to see the prince. Because Shang Fang's sword is with him, he cannot perform the ceremony properly. I hope the prince will forgive me."

With Yue Su's current official position, the courtesy when meeting the prince is just to bow and salute, but once he said that Shang Fang's sword was with him, who would dare to let him salute. The king of Zhou said with an unhappy face: "Yue Shaobao comes with the power of the emperor.

, Xiao Wang didn’t go out to greet him, he should ask Yue Shaobao to forgive him.” He didn’t ask Yue Su to sit down, but directly asked condescendingly: “I wonder what Yue Shaobao is doing here?”

Yue Su calmly said: "I am here because of a public case in which the prince's son is implicated. I want to invite the prince to come to the palace to speak."

"I don't know what the case is. Isn't it okay to talk about it in the little prince's house?" King Zhou said coldly.

"This case involves human lives. It is said that human lives are at stake. Although the palace is large, it is not a court of justice. If the case is to be questioned, it will naturally be in the governor's hall of the main court. The main court holds the Fang sword and patrols hunting on behalf of heaven. I also hope that the prince will provide convenience.

, Don’t stop me!" Yue Suyi said righteously.

To deal with a royal relative like the prince, and to negotiate softly with him, it is naturally impossible to win by showing off Shang Fang's sword. For this kind of people, Yue Su understands that it is hard to accept softness. As expected, Yue Su showed the emperor

, King Zhou's arrogance weakened a bit, and said: "Master Yue, you are right. But the court also has a system. If you want to arrest someone in the palace, you must have solid evidence. I wonder what evidence Master Yue has, and what case is the child involved in?"

Yue Su smiled slightly, took out the confessions of Mao Sheng and Mao Sheng from his arms, and said: "This is the confession signed by the guards Mao Sheng and Yan Huan themselves. I would like to ask the prince to read it." After speaking, he held the confession with one hand and waited.

Someone comes and gets it.

The chief clerk went to the confession and submitted it to King Zhou for review. After King Zhou read it, he pondered for a long time and said: "Your Excellency will not go to the palace to arrest someone just based on this one-sided statement."

Yue Su sneered and asked: "Then according to the prince's wishes, how can a subordinate be used to arrest someone? A potential killer assassinates others and captures the killer alive. If the killer's confession cannot be counted, how can the evil people in the world be counted?

Isn’t it true that everyone pays for the murder and is not guilty?”

As soon as his words came out, King Zhou was speechless. He didn't know how to defend himself for a while. After a long time, he said: "Then what if someone framed the child?"

"There is a saying in the national law: if the penalty is fifty, the false accusation will be increased to three levels. If these two people falsely accuse the prince, according to the law, the crime will be increased to three levels!" Yue Su said generously.

What King Zhou meant was that the two men framed the crown prince and Yue Su was not allowed to take them away. Yue Su's answer was even more clever and directly applied to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. In short, I don't care whether it is framed or not.

They have to be taken away. Once it is confirmed that the two men were framed, their crimes will be increased to third level and the prince will be given an explanation.

King Zhou was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but when it came to the legal affairs of the court, he couldn't talk to Yue Su, and wanted to use the title to pressure others. Yue Su relied on Shang Fang's sword to refuse to buy his account, and for a while he had his way.

Difficult.

Seeing him talking for a long time, Yue Su smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I am busy with official duties and have more time to wait. I hope it will be convenient. Otherwise, if I act rashly, the Prince's face will not look good."

This statement is very clear. If you linger and don’t make friends, don’t blame me for being rude. If someone else had said these words, and King Zhou would have blown his beard, glared, and slapped the table, then he would be a ghost. However, whoever said this

He also had to consider who he was. Two dozen Zhang Guozhang was so angry that Zhang Guozhang and Prince Fu were both angry. What else could he, the King of Zhou, do? Once Yue Suzhen refused to give him face, he would forcibly search the house and take the person away.

, the face of the entire Zhou royal family was really lost.

As mentioned earlier, the princes of the Ming Dynasty were also divided into three, six or nine levels. The princes who were entrusted by Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes who were enfeoffed by Zhu Di after the Jingnan period were quite different in terms of status and closeness. To be honest,

It's actually not bad. If you dare to make the emperor unhappy, you will cut off the vassal vassal. You are not polite at all. Although Yue Su is the emperor's favorite now, he is not at the point where he will be cut off if he offends Yue Su.

, but everyone knows that no matter who Yue Su offends now, the emperor will not do anything to Yue Su. On the contrary, if Yue Su offends the prince, in the eyes of scholars, he may still gain a reputation of not fearing the powerful.

In this case, if a quarrel really breaks out, no matter what, it will be the prince who suffers. King Zhou is not a fool. After weighing the situation, he still thinks that it is better not to fight head-on.

After retreating, his momentum inevitably weakened, but he could not give up and said: "Since your Excellency said so, it would be a good idea for the King Gu to call the Crown Prince here first, and you guys should confront each other here first. If there is anything else,

It is reasonable for Your Excellency to take him away. If the lonely king blocks him any more, it will appear to be contempt of national law. However, Your Excellency only has the right to hear this kind of case, and the power to deal with it is still in the hands of the Emperor. Otherwise, that family

The mansion is not in name only!" After saying this, his father said loudly: "Zhao Wen, go and invite the prince here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Wen on the side agreed and walked out of Yin'an Palace.

Zhao Wen went all the way to the crown prince's palace. The journey was short or far, and it required a lot of effort. In the Yin'an Palace, King Zhou still did not invite Yue Su to sit down, but Yue Su still stood at the foot of the steps with his head held high, rushing up to the palace.

Look at the king of Zhou.

In this way, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Wen and the crown prince Zhu Gongxu came. When Zhu Gongxu arrived at the palace, he first greeted the King of Zhou and then said hello to Yue Su.

Yue Su greeted Zhu Gongzong according to the attitude he had just met with the King of Zhou. Then he said, "I'm sorry to have you come here, please forgive me."

Zhu Gongxu said with a smile: "Eunuch Zhao has already told me what you have done here. The thing is like this. Last time I wanted to eat candied haws, so I asked someone to buy it privately. Unexpectedly, a bug came out of my mouth.

He was quite angry, so he sent Mao and Yan to teach him a lesson, but he did not let them take his life. They may have done something wrong, and I hope you will learn from it. If it frightened him, I will compensate him more." said

After he finished, he rushed forward and bowed and said: "Father, this matter is all due to the child's reckless behavior, which has caused trouble to the father. The child will report to the emperor and plead guilty on his own."

What he said was so righteous and confident, and he didn't feel that he had broken any laws at all. But that's how it is these days. If a young prince instructs anyone to kill an ordinary person, even if he kills the person, the killer will take the blame in the end.

It’s fine if the palace pays two bucks; if he didn’t kill him, that’s it. As for beating someone, it doesn’t violate any royal laws, and it’s fine if he pays some medical expenses. He can say this

, it’s still to give Yue Su face. If it were another official, he wouldn’t even pay attention to him. But if he doesn’t admit it, that’s not good. After all, the two guards in Yue Su’s hands have already confessed and made sophistry.

No, it won’t be clear until we find out.

King Zhou nodded and said: "You also know that you have caused trouble for your father, so why not hurry up and prepare an apology letter? You will send someone to the capital tomorrow. Mr. Yue, what do you think of this?"

Yue Su was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he also knew the law and understood that the young prince was cleaning himself up by saying this, and that was the end of it with an apology letter and a few words of reprimand from the emperor.

However, when Yue Su came this time, he didn't want to punish the young prince. He didn't kill anyone. Potian was also a member of the Jiao Zong family. But Yue Su's purpose was just to take people away. Yue Su smiled.

Laughing, he said: "It turns out that this is the case. It seems that Mao and Yan have understood the wrong prince's meaning. But the law says that killing people to pay debts and repaying money, these two people cannot escape the blame. Pay back.

Please, Your Majesty, follow me to the governor's hall, confront the two of them face to face, and sign and sign so that I can convict these two people according to law."

"Master Yue, I have already admitted this. I will write an apology letter later. Just look at the two of them and feel embarrassed. Why bother bothering me anymore? If you can, I will leave them alone." Zhu Gongxu said with a slight smile.

How could Yue Su let him go? Otherwise, all his efforts would have been in vain. At that moment, he said righteously: "The national law is like a mountain, how can it be a trivial matter? Besides, these two people committed a serious crime of murder and need to be operated on."

If you want to be beheaded. The emperor in charge of this department has given you three copper guillotines, which can be beheaded first and then reported. Once the case is finalized, it is not allowed to be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment, and then the head can be shown to the public. Human life is at stake, and the evidence must be conclusive. The case is like a mountain. If the prince does not come to the court to confront him,

, let the lower officials decide the case. I hope it will be convenient for the prince."

Yue Su's words were polite, but his tone was firm and non-negotiable. He was also reasonable and could not be refuted.

Of course Zhu Gongxu didn't want to go, but he couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he had to say: "Your Majesty enforces the law like a mountain, and Xiaofan admires it. Since he wants to enforce the law for the country, Xiaofan can also take off his clothes, so I will go with you." After that, he said.

, bowed to King Zhou, and said: "Father, my son and Yue Shaobao will go to the governor's Yamen right now. Go back as soon as possible. Father, don't worry."

King Zhou also saw that there was no way to stop him. Who said that 'Yue Shatou' was too domineering and had the favor of the emperor? He said: "That's fine, then you go and come back quickly. Zhao Wen, you take people to follow the prince, if there is any

Whatever happened, come back and report it quickly."

For safety reasons, he was afraid that Yue Su would play some tricks, so he asked Zhao Wen to take someone there so that he could take care of him.

Seeing that King Zhou and Zhu Gongxu expressed their willingness to go, Yue Su cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince for your understanding." After saying that, he made an invitation gesture to Zhu Gongxu, "Your Majesty, please!"

Zhu Gongnong nodded and made a gesture of invitation, "Yue Shaobao, please!"

As soon as the two of them left Yin'an Palace, Zhao Wen greeted more than twenty people and accompanied them from behind. They left the palace and rushed to the governor's Yamen together.
