Chapter 53: Ask Your Majesty to Strictly Investigate Xiao Feiye
Under the main hall.
Fang Jue and Ye Hongyi had lunch before they talked about Xiao Luoye again.
"Xiao Luoye was a prince after all. He died in a strange way. Your Xuanjian Division should investigate, right?"
"check……"
Ye Hongyi shook her head: "Master and the people from the Criminal Department have returned from Xiao's house and brought back many things..."
"What? Did you find anything to say?" Fang Jue didn't deliberately pry.
The Xuanjian Division is also a confidential department. Ye Hongyi will naturally weigh in on what can and cannot be said, and will not tell everything just because it is Fang Jue.
"There's nothing to say... His Majesty is a decent man. I believe the case will be filed soon, but this time the Xuanjian Division has been greatly embarrassed..."
Is Hanging Sword Division embarrassed?
But... you, the disciplinary inspection department, actually had a rebel, and you didn't even notice...
If he didn't deal with a few people, how could the emperor say such a thing and frighten all the officials?
"You don't have to worry. As long as I'm here, His Majesty won't implicate you." Fang Jue said calmly with confidence.
Ye Hongyi also agreed and sighed: "I am worried about Master, he is only afraid that he will be punished by His Majesty."
"Punish him? That's not enough. What did you find out? Even if Xiao Luoye is the prince, he didn't die in the Xuanjian Division... Could it be that there was internal strife in the Xuanjian Division?"
Ye Hongyi didn't think anything was wrong with Fang Jue's conjecture, and there was also some fighting within the Xuanjian Division.
"Fang Jue, I can't say anything about this yet. It will be made public later... I'm sorry." Ye Hongyi was a little apologetic.
She was also not sure whether the emperor would slap her in the face. If the secret was leaked, the emperor would not need people like her in the Hanging Sword Division.
For Ye Hongyi, Xuanjian Division is her root, her future and her dream.
Fang Jue and her just had some similar interests and similar ambitions, so they came together... She would not ruin her future for a man.
If His Majesty and Fang Jue had to choose one... Ye Hongyi and Fang Jue both knew that she would not choose the latter.
And this is why Fang Jue admires Ye Hongyi. She is a woman with a truly independent soul.
But because of this, Fang Jue had some secrets that he couldn't tell her directly.
"Between you and me, why are you talking like this? I'm not interested in Xiao Luoye. I'm just asking casually. You don't have to feel embarrassed." Fang Jue said nonchalantly.
"But... you will tell me everything I ask you, but I can't hide it from you..." Ye Hongyi felt very sorry.
Fang Jue said generously: "I don't want to know, and you don't have to tell me. This is nothing to hide... Besides, I also have a guess that Xiao Luoye is a prince after all. I'm afraid he is a little unwilling to do so, right?"
Ye Hongyi heard this and immediately became alert: "You... As expected of you, you can guess this?"
"Is this true?" Fang Jue pretended to be surprised and talked eloquently, "But this is normal. As a prince, he does not have a palace, a fief, or even an imperial status...anyone would not be willing to change places.
Are there some small moves?"
"That's true. No wonder I didn't look surprised when I saw Master... It seems that he has already seen Xiao Luoye's ambition."
Ye Hongyi gradually felt comfortable. She didn't say anything, but Fang Jue guessed it and no longer concealed the estrangement.
Xiao Chaoguo is not surprised?
It seems that Xiao Luoye has not hidden his ambition well, I am afraid that Xiao Chaoguo has been wary of him for a long time.
Fang Jue smiled and said: "Xiao Luoye should know that he has no chance to become the crown prince...so if he is ambitious, he probably wants to plot a rebellion..."
"Have you guessed this?!" Ye Hongyi took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling, and she felt that she had indeed chosen the right smart person.
"It's not difficult to guess..." Fang felt it was natural.
It’s like saying, of course you have to eat with your mouth, it’s such a simple truth.
Ye Hongyi felt that her IQ was being suppressed.
But she didn't feel it was inappropriate, but she felt even more happy. She was a smart person and didn't like men with low intelligence.
Fang Jue smiled: "In that case, let me guess again..."
"Is he also involved in the Yue Pingchuan case?"
"Hiss... you, you better stop guessing. If His Majesty knows, he will definitely think that I have leaked the secret!" Ye Hongyi was frightened and took a deep breath, unable to let go.
Why is there such a big gap between people's brains?
"Haha, okay, I won't guess anymore...what do you want to eat tonight? I went to Bei City to buy meat today. How about dumplings?"
"I'm afraid I won't be free tonight and have to wait for His Majesty's order. If the Xiao Luoye case really needs to be investigated, I'm afraid I will be very busy." Ye Hongyi said helplessly.
Fang Jue nodded: "Then if you can't come, I'll ask Dianyi to deliver dumplings to you."
"Okay!" Ye Hongyi beamed.
Dianyi, who was standing at the door, listened to the whole process, his mouth as flat as an old turtle.
Young Master, you are so noble. If you want to talk to someone, let me give you dumplings!
…
Royal study room.
The emperor originally wanted to wait for the results of the Xuanjian Division in Fengtian Palace.
However, Xiao Chaoguo hinted that he wanted to report it in the imperial study.
Xiao Pingsi understood the meaning immediately.
The Fengtian Hall is the place where the emperor and his ministers discuss matters, where the emperor listens to the duel. Once you open your mouth, it is irreversible.
The imperial study was different. Even if there were private discussions, the historians would not record the details.
Originally, Xiao Pingsi felt that Xiao Chaoguo's hint was making a fuss out of a molehill, and that the murder of a prince should be mentioned in the Fengtian Palace.
Could it be that I looked down on Xiao Pingsi and thought he was my illegitimate son, so I deliberately didn't talk openly about it.
However, after arriving at the Imperial Study Room, I saw Xiao Chaoguo and Chen Li, the Minister of Dali Temple. Both of them looked a little frightened and nervous, and they immediately realized that this matter was not a trivial matter.
"What, have you found out who did it?"
"Why are you so scared? No matter who did it, we must find out!"
However, both Xiao Chaoguo and Chen Li hesitated to speak. In the end, it was worth reminding the emperor to read the case briefing first.
"snort!"
Xiao Pingsi picked up the memorial on the imperial case and read it carefully.
In an instant, his face changed in shock, and then his face was full of anger, and his neck was red with anger.
"boom!"
Yu Shen was slapped and cracked.
"Your Majesty, calm down..." Xiao and Chen were a little frightened.
Xiao Chaoguo was afraid that this matter would implicate himself and the Xuanjian Division. After all, Xiao Luoye used the power of the Xuanjian Division to do those things.
And Chen Li was afraid that His Majesty didn't want to make a big deal out of this matter, so he would naturally keep his mouth shut when the time came. If the Emperor was cruel and wanted to silence him...
"Shuzi, Shuzi!"
"I am so angry!"
"How dare that Shuzi do this? He deserves to die, he deserves to die!"
The memorial is filled with the evidence that Xuanjian Si and Dali Temple found in the tunnels of Xiao's house.
Those were all kept privately by Lin Hu, including the letters in which Xiao Luoye contacted various parties, as well as the remaining traces of the things he had done... Lin Hu was worried that he would be abandoned by Xiao Luoye, so he kept it, which now became evidence.
Wang Fengyuan was far away, but he had good eyesight. He could see the handwriting on the memorial clearly, and he was also very frightened.
Who would have thought that the most low-key prince in the capital would actually do such an earth-shattering thing!
"..." The guards outside the imperial study were also startled.
Your Majesty actually said that King Yu deserved his death... What on earth did he do to make such a kind and generous Majesty ignore the relationship between father and son?
"His Majesty……"
Although a memorial was given, the matter still had to be explained by the two people handling the case.
Xiao Chaoguo was the first to speak: "Prince Yu... he has always been dissatisfied with his treatment. He has no fiefdom, no royal palace, and is not even considered a member of the royal family. All these dissatisfactions have nourished his ambition..."
"I have always been on guard against King Yu and did not allow him to develop party members in the Xuanjian Division, but I did not expect that he would actually use the information of the Xuanjian Division and use the courtiers' dirty information as a threat to involve a group of party members... The list is also in the memorial.
Attached is the back.”
Chen Lidao, the minister of Dali Temple, said: "King Yu understands that he has no chance to become the crown prince, so he wants to bring down all the other princes one by one... so that your majesty has to consider him..."
"Two of the several highnesses who left Beijing earlier were also persecuted by him...His Royal Highness King Qin is a kind and generous man. He couldn't find anything wrong with King Qin, so he thought of inciting Yue Pingchuan to rebel in order to implicate His Highness King Qin... This is why he wanted to incite King Yue Pingchuan to rebel.
Punishable!"
After talking a lot, Chen Li knelt down and said: "I beg your Majesty to issue an order to investigate this case strictly. If there are people involved, we cannot tolerate it!"
Xiao Pingsi looked at Xiao Chaoguo to see if he was afraid of losing face.
Xiao Chaoguo also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Master Chen's request. I beg your Majesty to look into it clearly and provide justice to your highnesses, as well as the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Qinzhou!"
Chen Li was a little surprised. He originally thought that Xiao Chaoguo tried his best to conceal it so that the Xuanjian Division would not be embarrassed and he himself would be punished.
But he didn't expect that Xiao Chaoguo's situation was so big, and he suddenly blushed at his little thoughts.
