Chapter 316 Taifu returns to the court, the three meet!
After Su Cheng's manipulation, Prince Liang was forced to be involved in the Imperial Academy rape case and the imperial palace infiltration case!
In fact, King Liang had no choice but to investigate these two cases in order to show his innocence.
Otherwise, what if Su Cheng goes to the emperor and says: Prince Liang doesn't want to investigate this case, maybe it's related to these two cases.
By that time, King Liang would not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
The only way to show that Prince Liang is innocent is to investigate the case. Not only must it be investigated, but it must also be investigated with great fanfare. The emperor must know that this matter has nothing to do with him, Prince Liang.
Of course, such a big matter cannot be handled by the Ministry of Punishment alone, and there is only one Ministry of Punishment, so it is inevitable that the prisoner will be suspected of stealing. For this reason, King Liang also suggested to the emperor that Dali Temple should also participate in the case!
How could the emperor not understand the little thoughts of King Liang? He was worried that he would be blamed if he could not be found out, so he found someone to share the responsibility with him.
Of course, the emperor also understood the difficulties faced by King Liang. After all, if the opponent dared to kill people in the palace, he must have a perfect plan. Letting Dali Temple participate in this battle would just agree with the emperor's idea.
In this way, that afternoon, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple began to investigate.
For a time, everyone in the palace was in danger, and everyone was worried that someone would be found out about him.
Time soon came to night, and as night fell, Su Sheng changed into a set of chivalrous costumes in the pavilion in the back garden of the palace. He looked in high spirits, and there were wine and food on the table beside him.
After a while, Su Cheng arrived.
Although Su Cheng was a little surprised when he saw the emperor wearing a knight's uniform, he still stepped forward and saluted: "I have met your majesty!"
Su Sheng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Marquis Wu An, there is no need to be polite. You are a good customer service guy. My clothes fit me very well. The Queen liked it just now. You can send me some more sets when you have time."
Su Cheng's mouth twitched.
This Xia customer service was the one given by Shen Youwei as a gift to the emperor and empress when he brought Shen Youwei here today. Shen Youwei felt that the other gifts were just average, so she gave them her favorite sets of Xia customer service.
Unexpectedly, the emperor and empress actually fell in love with this thing!
But think about it, the emperor and the empress often wear dragon robes and phoenix robes. Those things are very heavy and are a burden to wear on the body. However, the customer service is a smart outfit. It fits well and is comfortable. How can the emperor and the empress like it?
"Since Your Majesty likes it, I will ask Youwei to deliver it in person tomorrow." Su Cheng nodded and agreed.
To gain a foothold in Kyoto, you must first establish a good relationship with the emperor. Of course, as the emperor's pillow, the Queen cannot be left behind.
Su Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and hit Su Cheng Qiu Feng again. This guy has a lot of good things, so he should pay more attention to Qiu Feng in the future.
You are a bastard if you don't take advantage of him. I heard this sentence from Su Cheng.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the pavilion. The two of them turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw the dusty Taifu Dugu Jingwei striding towards this side.
Seeing Su Sheng, Dugu Jingwei immediately raised his hands and saluted: "See your majesty, please forgive me for keeping your majesty waiting!"
Su Sheng laughed, stepped forward to help Dugu Jingwei's hands, and said with a smile: "Master, you don't have to be like this. You are my teacher, and I should wait for you. Come, everyone is here, sit down and talk."
Dugu Jingwei and Su Cheng looked at each other, and nodded to each other as a greeting. After Su Sheng sat down, they sat on either side of Su Sheng.
"Come, let's chat while we eat!" Su Sheng picked up his chopsticks and gestured: "The master is on his way back. He is tired from the journey, so he needs to eat something to relieve his stomach."
It can be seen that Su Sheng still respects this Taifu.
But Dugu Jingwei was not too presumptuous. He pushed back repeatedly before starting to move his chopsticks. During this period, Su Sheng raised his glass from time to time to signal for a drink. For a while, the atmosphere at the scene was very harmonious.
After drinking for three rounds and eating almost all the food, Su Sheng put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a silk scarf, while saying slowly: "Master, the secret guard should have informed you about what happened in the palace, right?"
Dugu Jingwei's expression changed, and he quickly put down his chopsticks and said: "We have heard about this matter. Who is so bold that he actually killed people in the palace after the traitor was discovered? This matter must be investigated clearly, otherwise the impact will be too great!
"
This is the palace. Once this matter spreads, people will definitely question the safety of the palace. Someone could sneak into the majestic Daliang Palace.
Once this is started, I don’t know how many people will want to sneak into the palace in the future!
At this time, Su Cheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Master Taifu, who do you think is most likely to have done this?"
Dugu Jingwei snorted coldly: "Who else could it be? Of course it is Shangguan Hao. When he saw that you, Marquis Wu An, became the bachelor of the Academy, the attitude of the family has also changed. It will be difficult for him to control the new officials who enter the court in the future!"
"But if he gets the questions of this exam and leaks them in advance, not only will your position as examiner be taken away, Marquis Wu An, but even the bachelor of the academy will not be able to do it. They will not be able to challenge you Marquis Wu An in terms of knowledge.
Sorry, this is the first time!"
"Then Bachelor Han is also a well-educated scholar. He should have been an internal agent of the Shangguan family for a long time, but he has never been able to use it. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity of the imperial examination to put it to use!"
As Shangguan Hao's mortal enemy, the first thing Dugu Jingwei thought of was Shangguan Hao!
This point is consistent with the thoughts of the emperor and Su Cheng. The three of them all believed that only Shangguan Hao had the ability to send people to the Hanlin Academy and even arrange manpower in the imperial army.
Su Cheng nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Your Majesty and I also believe that Shangguan Hao did it, but there is no evidence for this matter. We can't find Shangguan Hao at all. After all, Academician Han and the three forbidden soldiers are all dead. There is no evidence to prove their deaths. As long as he no longer
If we send someone to take action, we won't be able to seize the handle."
After thinking about it, Su Cheng added: "What I mean is that it is better to take this opportunity to strike first and clear out all the people in the palace. As long as there are suspects, they will not be used or transferred out of the palace!"
The imperial palace is the seat of imperial power in Daliang, and the emperor's safety is the top priority in everything. Once something happens to the emperor, those people who are on the emperor's side will be in big trouble.
If there is a chance to liquidate, just liquidate all the suspects directly!
Dugu Jingwei frowned when he heard this and hesitated: "Although this approach will be done once and for all, it will only alert the enemy. This will lead to a showdown with Shangguan Hao!"
Su Sheng snorted coldly: "He has arranged people into the Forbidden Army, and even dared to kill people in the palace. Can't I deal with it? Even if it is to scare the snake, so what, I have a legitimate reason for taking action this time, and he has no reason to object."
"I will handle this matter personally. The secret guards will investigate it clearly in the next two days. All forbidden troops must be liquidated and transferred as long as they are suspected."
Dugu Jingwei smiled bitterly: "Since Your Majesty has decided, we will naturally help you!"
