The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 45

The Minister of Dali Temple also said: "I also inspected the corpses of those assassins who were sent, and found a special foreman to make them one by one. I saw the dawn, but I didn't find any marks, and there was nothing on them to prove my identity. I am incompetent. No leads were found."

He lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Xiao Yu and Jun Rong.

Jun Rong was a little confused, he didn't have a clue, he only knew that the other party was hiding in the dark and wanted his own life, but he didn't know who the other party was, this feeling was really heart-wrenching.

Xiao Yu also guessed this result. The other party was so bold to do something in the palace, so he was fully prepared and would not be easily identified.

"My lord, there is no need to be like this. The other party is hiding very deeply and is well prepared. It is expected that there will be no clues to check."

"However, we still need to increase the intensity of inspections in the city. If the other party fails this time, there is no guarantee that they will not come again next time."

Xiao Yu looked at Jun Rong, Jun Rong understood, and said to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple: "The two adults have worked hard, please step back first."

"As for the Imperial Forest Army that your Excellency just said, I will ask the Imperial Forest Army Commander for a charter."

Xiao Yu mentioned another matter while talking, "Lord Lu, how was the investigation of the Heroes' Garden on the outskirts of Beijing last time? Is there any progress? I remember that those killers have tattoos on their bodies. Can you determine their identities?"

When the matter of the assassination in the Garden of Heroes was mentioned, everyone's expressions became more dignified.

Lu Shengming, Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, came out of the line, cupped his hands at Xiao Yu, and said, "Your Majesty, the officials and the city guards have searched the Garden of Heroes, and the people who guarded the tomb have been killed and thrown into a tomb. Here, after the test, Wu said that he had been dead for almost three days. Those killers should have been lurking in the cemetery at that time. As for the tattoos on their bodies, I have never seen them before. It's like some kind of Jianghu sect."

"And the weapons they use are very common. They can be forged at any blacksmith shop on the street. There is nothing special about them. Since there are no survivors, the officials are incompetent... There are no other clues."

After the voice fell, the entire Mingguang Palace fell into dead silence.

One is incompetent, two are incompetent, all are incompetent, two waves of killers, no clue at all, this is a bit unreasonable, right?
Everyone had different thoughts and secretly glanced at Xiao Yu and Jun Rong.

Xiao Yu said without changing his face: "Well, there are no clues, which is understandable, but this tattoo should be able to find out a lot of things along the way, right? There are solutions to Jianghu affairs, Mr. Lu think about it carefully."

Lu Shengming said nervously, "Yes, yes, I will definitely find a way to investigate when I go back."

Xiao Yu said slowly: "I hope you adults can understand, don't take killers seriously, if they dare to kill me today, they will dare to kill you tomorrow, if it becomes a trend, they will buy murderers if they disagree with each other, everyone Maybe sit back and relax?"

"This……"

While everyone was hesitating, the prime minister cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is right, the assassination must not be tolerated!"

Xiao Yu glanced at the prime minister who had always been a background board before, "It's still the prime minister who understands righteousness."

The prime minister smiled back and said: "Where is that, the son is too famous."

Xiao Yu changed the topic: "The matter of the assassination has come to an end for the time being, and I will bring it up later when there are clues. Since everyone is here today, I just want to talk about the grand ceremony of His Highness's enthronement."

"The enthronement ceremony process is cumbersome and lengthy, and it is extremely troublesome to change clothes. In my opinion, it is just in time for the late emperor's death, so it is better to keep everything simple. This year, there are frequent heavy snowfalls, and many people in many places have been affected. The saved silver can be used for relief. Disaster victims, what do you think?"

"The son's words are justified, and I feel that I can consider it."

Hubu Shangshu stood up and said: "The national treasury is in short supply every year, and it takes a lot of time to hold the enthronement ceremony, and the winter and spring communication is a period of frequent disasters, and it is difficult to take care of it when the treasury is emptied. Put down nearly half of the silver, and then the turnover will be opened."

The Ministry of Household Affairs has always been in charge of big money bags, crying for being poor every day, and now finally met a master who can save money, the Minister of the Household Department is almost grateful!

Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.

University scholar Du Qing stood up and said: "I think it's impossible. How important is the enthronement ceremony? How can it be handled in a simple and simple way? The enthronement ceremony is to announce to the world that the new emperor's enthronement is a great joy. If it is a means of majesty, if it is simply fooled, what will the people of the world think?"

"What Master Du said makes sense, but I don't agree with it."

Zhang Taifu jumped out when he found an opportunity, "If the enthronement ceremony is to be held, it should be held in a grand manner. The son is young, so it's okay to not understand the stakes. There are not enough people today. Neither Sigong nor your highnesses came. It is not appropriate to discuss this matter. Let’s wait until another day when everyone is ready.”

Jun Rong frowned: "This matter——"

"What Zhang Taifu said is not unreasonable. Since there are not enough people, I will come here first today. Your Highness is not recovering from the cold, so it is not suitable to work hard. Wait for His Highness to recover. It will not be too late. You must have come here early in the morning. Go back to rest Bar."

Xiao Yu didn't insist, and agreed without hesitation, but Zhang Taifu was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

The prime minister nodded: "It is natural that His Highness's body is the most important thing in everything. If that is the case, then I will retire."

"Hey—Master Prime Minister!"

Several people chased the prime minister out, Zhang Taifu looked at Xiao Yu and Jun Rong, snorted and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Soon the courtiers left the Mingguang Palace in twos and threes.

Someone caught up with the prime minister and asked in a low voice, "My lord, why don't you just leave?"

Others also gathered around, "Yeah, let's just leave like this?"

The prime minister looked at the people around with a smile: "Otherwise? The prince said that His Highness is unwell, so what are we going to do here?"

"Too……"

"Then what do you think of His Highness? Can you be worthy of a great job?"

Zhang Taifu and others who were not far away also looked over after hearing the words, and the prime minister seemed unaware, "How about your Highness, didn't you see it just now? Why come to test me?"

When he got down the steps, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Taifu who was standing on the steps with a delicate expression, and said seemingly unintentionally: "I think Your Highness is very good."

After finishing speaking, regardless of other people's reactions, he pushed aside the crowd, "Make room, I still have something to do, let's go first."

He directly got into the sedan chair waiting at the gate of the palace, turned around and disappeared.

"Hey, why is the prime minister running so fast? Can a dog chase him away?"

"Tsk, look at what you said, you are a dog! Why do you ask so many questions? How is your Highness? That's what you petty officials should worry about? Who is sitting at the top? Don't you still receive that little salary? Eat radishes and worry less."

Everyone heard the words and felt that they were reasonable, so they dispersed.

Zhang Taifu stood on the steps and gritted his teeth slightly, with a serious expression on his face.
