Chapter 453 Reporting Results ([-]) A Change

It was only after entering the East Nuan Pavilion that Qin Wubing realized that not only could he hear but also see, there were quite a lot of large and small holes and holes in the partition wall separating the hall from the hall.

Prince Xiang looked at Qin Wubing and said with a smile: "If I hadn't heard you say it today, I really wouldn't have thought about it, it seems that what you said is true, there are some things that I never thought about whether you need to know before I did it. "

Qin Wubing looked at the emperor who was sitting on the collapsed chair, the old monk and Prince Xiang who were sitting on the armchair, and asked the emperor flatteringly: "Can you give me a horse?"

The emperor pointed to Xiudun not far away with a smile and said, "Sit down."

Qin Wubing sat on the embroidered pier, heaved a sigh of relief and said:
"I didn't expect to have to stand for so long! In fact, I wanted to tell Brother Jiu a long time ago, but I forgot it when I got busy. Now the emperor is acting like this. I'm not afraid of anything else, except that I don't think of your true meaning every time. , I missed a major event, the emperor and Brother Jiu must not blame me."

The emperor took a sip of tea and said: "If you can't see what happened today, you should go home and prepare for the marriage. You can't find the person behind the scenes."

Qin Wubing nodded and said: "That's true! The emperor said yesterday that he was in the Palace of Qinzheng just to deceive people, and he will call these people to the Hall of Mental Cultivation after the court today, and won't let them go home now. Time to prepare, not to mention giving them a chance to discuss, with no effort, by virtue of Ding Guogong's murder case, all these moths in the court can be wiped out, the emperor can be said to have strategized and resourceful... very good!"

"I use you to praise?!"

"I also know these two words, but I admire them from the bottom of my heart." Qin Wubing cupped his hands towards the emperor.

The old monk said with distaste: "I asked you to read more books a long time ago. You don't need them in other places. You always need to use them when you are flattering. You just don't listen."

"Do you think there are only these 20 people? Some people with low official positions have not done anything yet. I will wait for these people to confess. I have to take it step by step. If there are not too many people, I am afraid of delaying the official business of the court. Kill all known ones!"

Prince Xiang said:

"This is only in the capital. How about the location? I can get a general idea later. It is really difficult to find someone to fill up so many positions at once. If the emperor does this, it is also taking the overall situation into consideration."

Qin Wubing nodded and said:
"What the emperor did today, that person must not have thought of it, but as long as he knows which officials have been called to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he will know the emperor's intentions. When I received the news of the death of Duke Ding yesterday, my first thought was It is because the direction I deduced before was correct, and the person who made my judgment knew that he was going to kill me, and it was imminent! So I kept thinking, who would know the judgment I said? This night, I had already thought I came out with a general idea, but today I entered the palace..."

"Isn't that person always by our side?" The old monk sat up straight and asked nervously.

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead and said:

"The emperor must have interrogated the person in the prison uninterruptedly from the afternoon of the day before yesterday to yesterday morning, which aroused the vigilance of that person. No one would have thought that Duke Ding would go to my house first after entering Beijing yesterday morning, so it can be concluded that that person Wanting to kill Ding Guogong and pass it on to me, and then trying to get me into prison to kill me, it was a temporary idea, why is it so urgent? I only realized when I entered the palace today. Apart from knowing my deduction, the emperor's actions Let him anticipate the danger of the next step, that is to say, today's situation is within his prediction, but he did not expect the emperor to make such a quick move."

Qin Wubing paused and said again:
"He wanted to kill me, but he still wanted to struggle a bit, and he didn't want to cut off his tail to survive and hide, and his act of wanting to kill me made me more convinced that the person behind the scenes was alone!"

"It sounds like nonsense to me," said the old monk.

"The person I'm talking about simply refers to the number of people! My idea of ​​investigating this case has always been to conduct it in secret, so as not to make him defensive. The emperor's way of dealing with this matter is exactly the opposite of mine. The bigger the better! It will be difficult for him to deal with the emperor and me alone, so he will get out of the bad move of using Duke Ding to harm me."

Prince Xiang smiled and said, "Didn't you say you walked on two legs long ago, why did you forget it so quickly?"

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead unnaturally, before he could utter the words of tactful praise, Prince Xiang saw through, and he hurriedly explained:

"Although I have said such things, if I were asked to investigate Zhu Shengwen's and Qu Liang's cases clearly, I would only take it slow, just like that Shi Shi who is still locked up in my house..."

"The long history of Chengjun Palace!" The old monk reminded.

"Yes, Chang Shi! I locked him up but never went to interrogate him. My method is to prevent him from leading me by the nose while figuring out the characteristics of this person, and then draw circles. The emperor's approach seems simple and rude. But it is very useful after their people show up."

"That's because you caught a big fish first. I said earlier that you are lucky. If there is no banquet from the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, the emperor may not be able to use it at this time." Prince Xiang said.

The emperor nodded after listening.

The old monk suddenly frowned and asked: "I haven't seen you after talking for a long time and asked where Yu'er is? Aren't you very nervous on weekdays, afraid that your daughter-in-law will disappear?"

Qin Wubing smirked twice and said: "Where else can I go? It must be guarding Zhao Guang's grandmother. Zhao Guang's grandmother is the aunt of the Queen Mother. Yu'er is so helpful."

Prince Xiang pointed at Qin Wubing and said to the emperor with a smile: "It's just this hozen who complained that we didn't explain it to him in advance, and the result will come out as soon as something goes over his mind."

The emperor snorted and said, "He has gone through the case of cheating in the scientific examination several times in his mind, but he has not come up with any results."

Qin Wubing hurriedly explained:
"I don't agree with what the emperor said. Although there is one person behind the scientific examination fraud case, but the number of people involved is so large that I still dare not think about it, and I can't think about it. I can't hold it in my head."

The emperor turned his head and asked Dequan: "Go and see what's going on over there?"

Dequan withdrew from Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Who's in Xinuan Pavilion?" Qin Wubing asked curiously.

"Didn't these officials keep clamoring for a joint trial by the three divisions? I arranged for them."

The old monk asked puzzledly: "Can the emperor find a good official?"

"Seventh Uncle said that!" Qin Wubing said: "That man understands a truth very well, the ratio of good and bad, no, it's the combination of meat and vegetables, alas, how can you understand..."

"Understood! When the water is clear, there will be no fish. In the same way, if the water smells bad, there will not be many fish that can survive." The old monk had a clear expression.

"That's the truth! The emperor said before that when the chaos happened a while ago, these officials worked together to overcome the difficulties. What does this mean? It means that the man also knows that he is attached to the court, and the court can only make money when he is with him. One, and the other is how difficult it is to control these high-ranking officials for their own use. Not to mention anything else, once they know that they have the same identities, there is nothing much to do. If there are three ministers held hostage by him, who would be willing to be in a high position but still be at the mercy of others? ?He must be at his feet and has no time to do other things, so he will arrange his people in important official positions, not high positions, such as the official servant Zhu Shengwen, and most of the people may be arranged in hands than brains As the saying goes, county magistrates are not as good as current officials.”

"Is this also the main reason why you always think that that person has never coveted the throne?" the emperor asked.

"I didn't find any reason why that person coveted the throne."

Qin Wubing answered quickly, but then he regretted a bit, and he couldn't say some analysis.
