In the early morning three days later, there was heavy rain and occasional thunderstorms.

The King of Nanyang shuddered from the shock, then stabilized himself, quickly picked up the document in the ground, opened it and read it again, then put his head down with a pale face, and hissed: "Father, my son! Wrong..."

The emperor cursed head-on, "It's He Changxun, Minister of the Five Soldiers, who identified you. Why are you calling for injustice?"

Who is behind He Changxun, without interrogation.It is self-evident who will benefit from inciting all kinds of public grievances against the Linhai King in that tragic way.

"..."

The king of Nanyang choked up and turned his head quickly, "As we all know, He Changxun and his ministers have a close relationship. This testimony indicates that He Changxun did it. How is it different from testifying against the ministers? Father Huang Shengming, this matter has nothing to do with He Changxun's testimony." Xun has nothing to do..."

"So, you want to vouch for He Changxun?" The emperor sneered, "Think about it, this is a felony crime of embezzlement!"

The king of Nanyang didn't dare to answer casually. On that day in Jiangmei Xueyuan, he conspired with Zou Jiping to blow up the warehouse with a fuse, and thus charged the king of Linhai with a crime of neglecting people's livelihood.But after thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to do it than to do it, so he privately ordered He Changxun to secretly mobilize four Thunderbolt cannons from the central military arsenal. He never thought that He Changxun would be testified by the people around him and the common people...

He pondered for a while, and clenched his hands into fists, "It's all accusations made by thugs, how can my father take it seriously, what if someone else made a false accusation? Besides, He Changxun has never had a bad record, this charge... I'm afraid it's wronged! "

Zhou Yishui raised his hands, "I think what the king of Nanyang said is very true, but apart from the common people, He Shangshu is also identified by his personal followers, and it's not just random grabbing and biting by outsiders, so it can't be ambiguous. After investigation, I'm afraid it will damage His Highness's reputation and the majesty of the country's law. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty's permission to immediately send the three government departments and one division to interrogate the Luoxi Street bombing case, so as to return His Highness Nanyang Wang and He Shangshu's innocence!"

"Inspection by the three houses and one department?" The emperor looked at King Nanyang with a gloomy expression, "Liu Heng, what do you think of this method?"

King Nanyang clenched his teeth, and his mind was buzzing.He knew that He Changxun was entrusted by him to detonate Linhai King's fireworks warehouse with a thunderbolt cannon, and with He Changxun's tone, he might not be a tough guy who could withstand the torture of a public trial. When he was a master of criminal investigation, he was not clichéd, and even when he was tortured, he was not recruited...

What's more, the result of the joint trial of the three governments is to be reported to the world. Once he agrees, he has to wait for the consequences that may seriously hurt himself.Once the case is finalized, not only will Linhai King not be hit, but he will also be implicated, and even completely lose the emperor's trust and love for him. Then there may be no room for extrajudicial favors.

How dare he bite the bullet and agree?
The hesitation and guilt in his eyes were noticed by both the emperor and Zhou Yishui.Although the emperor had known it for a long time, because the incident was too coincidental, it happened that King Linhai's other garden caught fire and exploded, and the warehouse that exploded belonged to King Linhai, and King Nanyang was there to put out the fire in time, so the memorial presented at that time Quick, he is not blind, nor is he an idiot who seeks profit without power. He knows that this is a good show derived from the two brothers' seizure of power.The more he was like this, the more he looked at his second son, who was so angry that he was holding the thin teacup tightly with his left hand, almost crushing it.

"You bastard! You won't be reconciled if you don't piss me off to death. It's in vain that I love you so much and trust you all these years!"

The emperor pointed at the King of Nanyang and cursed, "You have done one thing after another this year. Do you really think I am deaf, blind, and blind? You can even get the thunderbolt guns in the central military depot, Liu Heng. Ah Liu Heng, I really can't tolerate you!"

King Nanyang was trembling with fright. He knew that some crimes could be admitted, but others could not.For example, the matter of bombing and injuring civilians is trivial, but the felony of stealing arms is indeed life-threatening and reputation-threatening.

So I just don't do one thing, and I can only abandon the car to keep my handsome.

He thumped his head and cried, "Father is responsible, I know my mistake, I admit it! But about the thunderbolt gun... I didn't know the inside story, I thought it was just ordinary gunpowder, and I never wanted to congratulate you!" Chang Xun will embezzle arms... I really don't know about this!"

These words are really unconvincing, Zhou Yishui snorted coldly in his heart, how could He Changxun refuse to listen to Nanyang King's command to embezzle arms, this matter has been going all the way, and he is the one who has benefited the most. Who can transfer the Thunderbolt Pao from the five military departments that are related to the central government.

The emperor's eyebrows twitched, and before he could say anything, Grand Master Xun had already entered the hall, "Didn't it be ordered by the King of Nanyang? Could it be that someone did it on purpose?"

"Your Majesty, since this matter involves the King of Linhai, the old minister shouldn't have said much, but just now that the King of Nanyang has admitted that he sent someone to blow up the warehouse to blame the King of Linhai, he knows that the King of Linhai is innocent. I beseech His Majesty to forgive His Highness."

Taishi Xun was Linhai's uncle, so it was reasonable for his uncle to make this request, and the emperor also blamed himself for the premature death of Xun's Qi disease because of favoring the empress back then. more forgiving.

He waved his hand, "Li Guang."

Li Guang took the whisk, bowed and left.

The king of Nanyang knew he was wrong, so he didn't dare to answer. He just cried and looked at the emperor from time to time.

Zhou Yishui bowed solemnly at this time, "Since His Royal Highness King Nanyang said that He Chang Xun moved the Thunderbolt Cannon without permission, how could the Thunderbolt Cannon be produced by the people for no reason? Since this is the case, I thought that His Highness King Nanyang could not be wronged, but After finding out the source of the Thunderbolt Cannon, I proposed that He Changxun should be strictly interrogated, and the military arsenals under the names of all the generals should be thoroughly investigated!"

The king of Nanyang reacted very quickly, "The matter of arms is related to the safety of the country, and my ministers also implore the Tingwei Division to investigate!"

His words were so decisive, but Zhou Yishui was extremely self-aware. Back then, Fang Qiling, the new Duzhi Shangshu, fell under the censorship of the Tingweisi and was almost poisoned to death, so he knew that the Tingweisi had connections with the King of Nanyang.

The emperor's eyelids were also twitching, he thought for a long time, and finally made a decision, "Let the Tingwei Division interrogate He Changxun, and... Zuo Fengyi!"

Zhou Yishui's heart skipped a beat, and he said immediately: "The minister is here!"

"You and Fengcha Superintendent Yang Siquan have full authority to supervise and inspect the military warehouse. We must go back to the source and find out the leakage of the Thunderbolt Cannon on Luoxi Street!"

"Yes!"

However, the emperor looked at King Nanyang again, the muscles on his cheeks were tense, and he closed his eyes to hide the angry expression on his face, "As for King Nanyang... he has no friendship with brothers and friends. To destroy people's livelihood, before the issue of arms is settled, the Nanyang Prince's Mansion will be grounded first!"

The King of Nanyang took a deep breath, then bowed down, and said in a low voice: "I thank you for your grace!"

The smell of ambergris in the hall was deep in the nostrils, intertwined with the charcoal fire, there was a long silence, everyone in the room dispersed, and the emperor's face was as pale as a paper, and it was not until Li Guang returned to his life that he calmed down a little.

"Tell me, did Hu Yanyan stay in Chang'an for too long?"

This sentence is not groundless, but the emperor deeply felt that the benefit of the king of Yin would be greatly benefited from this matter. Even though the number of tiger and leopard riders was small, they were short and sharp. Hu Yanyan was half as powerful as a soldier. Now that he is stationed in the capital, it is true. It makes people stand uneasy.

Li Guang moved forward softly, "Duke Zhending has been stationed at Beilu Pass for several years, and he wants to guard the frontier defense of Xiangguo. He will definitely intimidate the fierce..."

The emperor ignored him for a long time, and seemed to be asleep, but after about a quarter of an hour, he opened his eyes slightly again.
