Chapter 348 - Trial in Three Sessions
When Zhao Weixian heard this, he smiled in his heart and continued: "Your Highness, this is easy to handle. You might as well go directly to see the Holy One and try your best to fight for it."
"Then, what's the best way to say it?" King Qing asked.
"Your Highness said that he wanted to share the Emperor's worries. Your Highness, don't you know the Emperor? Hearing this, the Emperor must be very happy!" Zhao Weixian took the opportunity to say.
Prince Qing thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "According to what you said, my father originally entrusted this matter to you, and later it was handed over to my uncle. If it were handed over to me again, wouldn't it be the same as my father's?
I changed my order every day and broke my promise? I'm afraid my father will not agree to this matter."
"Your Highness, only the official and the king know that the emperor has entrusted this errand to the king. The official and the king have made an appointment to hand over the job at Dali Temple at noon tomorrow. As long as your highness can handle the matter before then, then
This matter will not be revealed." Zhao Weixian had already thought about the matter on the way, and thought of everything that should be thought of, so he answered so quickly.
After listening to Zhao Weixian's words, King Qing slowly sat on the chair. After a moment, he said slightly: "I know this matter. You go back first, and I will think about it carefully."
"Your Highness, this opportunity is rare." Zhao Weixian was afraid that King Qing might not make up his mind, so he continued to fan the flames.
"Well, I understand the priorities. You can go back first." Prince Qing closed his eyes and said.
At this time, Zhao Weixian couldn't say anything more. After bowing, he turned and left.
After Zhao Weixian left, King Qing had to sit on the chair for at least two sticks of incense. During this period, he kept thinking about something. The words Zhao Weixian said to him just now were enough to make his heart beat.
Although the prestige of King Zun is very high, King Qing does not care very much. Although he shows great respect to King Zun on the surface, privately he feels that King Zun is old, so Zhao Weixian does not dare to say anything, but King Qing does
dare.
After making up his mind, King Qing went directly to the imperial city.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Qing is outside asking for an audience." At this moment, the emperor was resting in the palace of his beloved concubine Ling Fei. After hearing the message, he nodded and let Prince Qing come in.
When Concubine Ling saw the situation, she wisely avoided it. It was an iron rule of all dynasties that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Although Concubine Ling didn't know what Prince Qing was doing, she even chased him straight to her palace.
That must be something important.
"My dear father, see you!" After King Qing came in, he saw the emperor half-reclining on the dragon couch, and he quickly knelt down to salute.
The emperor smiled slightly and said kindly: "Your Majesty, please get up."
"Thank you, Father."
"Sit down, there are no outsiders here, no need to be formal." The emperor pointed to a three-legged carved lacquer stool diagonally opposite him and said.
After King Qing sat down, he said: "Father, I come here this time to ask my father for something."
The emperor gently shook his hand, then propped up his body and sat up, then said: "Between father and son, why should we ask for anything in words? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Father, in the past six months, I have been in leisure and cannot serve my father and the country. I feel deeply guilty. On the battlefield, I can't match the bravery of my second brother. Therefore, I want to
Do something for your father somewhere else." Prince Qing said sincerely.
The emperor nodded and said: "I am very pleased that you have such an idea. You have always been smart and know how to deal with people. This is a hundred times better than your second brother. Tell me, what kind of job do you want to do? "
When King Qing heard that the emperor's words were praising him, he felt a little smug in his heart, and immediately replied: "I heard that there was a very uproarous case of secretly transporting salt in the capital recently. I am very touched by this matter." I am interested, so I ask my father to help me."
After hearing Prince Qing's words, the emperor, who was originally looking relaxed, suddenly became serious. He slowly lowered his legs and put on his shoes, then stood up and walked to Prince Qing.
Seeing the emperor standing up, Prince Qing also quickly stood up and bent his waist slightly.
"Why are you interested in this matter?" After a while, the emperor asked leisurely.
"I think this matter is of great importance and involves the lifeline of the country, so I want to serve." Prince Qing lowered his head and said.
It was only at this moment that a doubt or a vague and chaotic idea in the emperor's heart finally came to fruition.
There is definitely an unexpected secret behind the secret delivery of private salt by Yanyuntang's escort agency.
Zhao Weixian, Zun Wang, Qing Wang.
Among these three people, one is a powerful governor of nine provinces who was appointed by the emperor, one is a highly respected king, and the other is Prince Qing, who is more outstanding among the princes.
These three people are all stomping and trembling figures, but now, they all want to accept a secret smuggling case. At this point, if the emperor can't detect anything anymore, he won't be the emperor anymore. .
"Your Majesty, I am really happy that you have this intention, but I still have to think about this matter. You also know that at first, I asked Zhao Weixian to investigate the case together with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. Later, the emperor's uncle wanted to take over. Regarding this matter, I have just promised that you, your Majesty, will take over again. I really feel that what I said is a little unreasonable. You are not joking. I am a little disrespectful in this matter." The emperor said in a low voice.
Hearing what the emperor said, King Qing originally wanted to tell Zhao Weixian's rhetoric, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, because at this moment, he faintly noticed that the emperor seemed not very happy.
"Come here!" the emperor said suddenly.
Soon, a eunuch ran in.
"In passing the decree, King Zun, King Qing, Zhao Weixian, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple must come to the imperial study room to meet you immediately!"
...
Half an hour later, a total of five people arrived in the imperial study: King Zun, King Qing, Zhao Weixian, Minister of Punishment Luo Yi, and Minister of Dali Temple Zhuge Yan.
The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair in the middle. He half-closed his eyes, didn't speak, and had no expression.
Among the people below, only King Zun sat on the chair; the rest, including King Qing, stood respectfully.
After the king received the order, he murmured in his heart, knowing that there must be a change in taking over the case, while Zhao Weixian was happy in his heart. As long as there was a change, it would be a good thing. As for Luo Yi and Zhuge Yan, they were completely I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly saw that these three people were announced together, and I felt uneasy. Could it be that it was a three-chamber trial?
"Ahem!" The emperor suddenly coughed.
