After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 669
Oddly enough, Wang Shangshu shut his mouth for the time being, and began to silently observe this mysterious small court of the Eastern Palace.

That's right, although the small court of the Eastern Palace is very famous in the court, except for a few people who are in it, the other courtiers really don't know what is going on in this small court.

All the people in the East Palace had their mouths as tight as clamshells. Those who talked about the matter could talk about official business, but others would never say a word.

Even if Wang Shangshu is very popular in the court, and because he is a member of the "Chen Xiang Party", he actually has more sources of information than other people. At least he can get some secret information about the East Palace from Anxihou.

At first, Wang Shangshu had no doubts about the information provided by Anxihou. After all, everyone knew that Prime Minister Chen's grandson was trusted by the prince and was an important member of the small court of the Eastern Palace.

Both the Marquis of Anxi and the original Wang Shangshu felt that Chen Qiyu's presence in the East Palace was the result of Prime Minister Chen's careful planning.As the prime minister's grandson, it was Chen Qiyu's ability to gain the trust of the prince.

However, looking at it today... it seems that something is not quite right!

Chen Qiyu never mentioned to anyone that the Crown Princess participated in politics.It would be interesting that he kept such an important secret and refused to reveal it to Prime Minister Chen.

Who is Chen Qiyu?Is it Chen Qiyu who has the ability to win the trust of the prince, or is it the ability of the young couple sitting at the top to fool the treacherous and cunning Prime Minister Chen?

Wang Shangshu looked at the prince and his wife with meaningful eyes...

The meals are ready and we start to have lunch.

This is the first time Wang Shangshu participated in the East Palace Luncheon.At this moment, he vaguely realized that he seemed to be fooled.

He felt that he was chasing the crown prince to come to the East Palace to speak, but he was actually tricked to come here, right?Otherwise, how come all the important officials of the small court of the East Palace, except Deng Wenshao, the household doctor, arrived neatly?He didn't believe that none of these people needed to go to the Yamen.

Others aside, Ye Hanxing is a military officer, and he is on a mission in the Jinwu Guard on weekdays. He came here and needed to ask for leave.

After reacting, Wang Shangshu felt a little complicated.They are all veterans who have been in the court for so many years, and they were tricked by a young couple under the age of 20. This feeling is really sour.

But the East Palace is really interesting.

Although Wang Shangshu is very!Very!special!I can't stand the harem meddling in politics!
But he still likes to listen to the discussions at the East Palace luncheon.

As an old Jianghu who was still dedicated to the public, Wang Shangshu quickly discovered keenly that the Crown Princess must have participated in politics for more than a day or two.There is really a clear division of labor between the young couple in Donggong.

For example, it is obvious that the princess is in charge of military affairs.It's really interesting that a woman is in charge of the army. Could it be because she is the daughter of a general?

In addition, the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials are obviously managed by the princess, while the affairs of the Ministry of Households are mostly handled by the prince.

A man in charge of the money bag, and a woman in charge of the army, a typical male protagonist, this is...

Eating in the East Palace is equivalent to a meeting. Wang Shangshu, who came to listen for the first time, didn't say a word, but he listened with great interest. As he listened, the matter came to their Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

Wang Shangshu immediately raised his head, he didn't even bother to eat, his ears were erect like antennas.

"I brought the Patriarch of the Wu family back to trial yesterday."

As soon as Shangguan Muyun spoke, Wang Shangshu was taken aback.More than two months have passed, most of the cases in Qingzhou have been closed, and the focus of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is no longer here. A few days ago, he was still wondering that the re-examination verdict had been handed in long ago, and the emperor has not approved the restitution for a long time. , I don't know what it means.

The emperor didn't go to court for three days these days, he thought he didn't care about it!Never expected that Shangguan Shilang is still interrogating criminals.

It's nothing more than an interrogation, but he is still hiding it from him, the minister of the Ministry of punishment.

"Master Shangshu, I'm sorry." Xiao Jingheng quickly raised his head and personally apologized to Wang Shangshu: "The retrial of the Wu family is an order from my palace. It was not intended to deceive you, but this matter is of great importance. I'm afraid Shangguan Shilang can't convey it clearly. I have always thought about it, and I have the opportunity to explain it to Lord Shangshu face to face."

The crown prince stretched out his hand to his territory, but before he could tell him, Wang Shangshu straightened his back, nodded immediately, and replied quite forcefully: "Please tell me, Your Highness, I am very free today."

Quite a bit depends on how you explain it.

This attitude seems deliberate.

It's a good thing that Wang Shangshu took the initiative to probe. Xiao Jingheng and Shangguanjing looked at each other and exchanged a tacit look.

Wang Shangshu's attitude was rude, and Xiao Jingheng was even more rude. In a few words, he explained clearly the sky-high price rouge case that Shangguan Muyun was handling.

Qingzhou important case, the emperor ordered three joint trials. After all the detainees were escorted to Beijing, they had to go through the court again. Therefore, the case files sealed in Qingzhou were re-examined by the three courts. Of course, Wang Shangshu is very familiar with the situation.

but!There is no file record about the sky-high price rouge case.At least Wang Shangshu himself hadn't seen it, and he was sure that he hadn't seen it in the Sanfa Division Yamen, otherwise, even if he didn't know, Dali Temple would not have missed such a big case, so he had to mention it.

Although Wang Shangshu knew clearly that Shangguan Muyun's daring to hide such a big case was definitely not his own intention, but this couldn't stop him from getting angry.

What does the prince mean by hiding it from him?Do you think he is untrustworthy, or do you think he will be selfish and cannot handle it impartially, or do you think that his old man will be involved in the sky-high rouge case?

No matter which reason, Wang Shangshu finds it unacceptable.He has been a criminal officer for so many years, and he has always been upright with a clear conscience. He can accept the prince questioning him in other aspects, but Lao Wang cannot accept questioning his professional ability and professional ethics as an old criminal officer.

"Ridiculous!" Wang Shangshu wanted to slap the table at that time, but in view of the presence of the prince and princess, and a group of young officials staring at him, he was still embarrassed in the end.

Of course Xiao Jingheng and Shangguanjing knew why Wang Shangshu was unhappy.So Shangguanjing immediately pouted at Chen Qiyu.

Chen Qiyu immediately went up against the wind: "Master Shangshu, it's not that your highness and empress don't trust you. It's just that the case of sky-high rouge involves the harem after all, so your highness and empress have to be careful. To tell you the truth, the case of sky-high price rouge, the details of the case, my official It was only recently that I found out.”

Chen Qiyu didn't seem to explain everything clearly, but Wang Shangshu could hear it clearly.

There is only one important piece of news conveyed here: Empress Chen may be involved, so Chen Qiyu doesn't know the details, and he, the official of the Ministry of Punishment, is also kept secret.

His Old Wang is indeed a good criminal officer who enforces the law impartially, but who let him put the label of Chen Dang on him?

　---Here is the dividing line of the questioned Pharaoh--
　　Old Wang felt very angry, I am obviously a good man who enforces the law impartially! ! !
　　Jing Jing: Yes, yes, unfortunately, you are on the wrong team.
