Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 169 Everything...according to what the Prime Minister said!

"This is?"

Zhao Ting saw the movements of the Jin Yiwei on both sides and quickly looked towards them.

"The token of the Miyagi Forbidden Army? The Thousand Household Order? The prince's waist badge? No..."

At this moment, Zhao Ting's heart was beating wildly. The token looked very familiar, and he wouldn't find it strange if it was placed in the hands of Qian Hu, a pro-military captain.

But in Su Xian's hands...

Today's palace city is heavily guarded.

Except for the princes and His Majesty's confidants, even the Prime Minister cannot enter the palace without an imperial edict.

But Su Xian is a child!
Why would there be?
Also, hasn’t he already left the main hall? Even if there was this token before, why didn't His Majesty take it back?
At this moment.

For the first time, Zhao Ting had doubts about His Majesty's thoughts.

"Only one death-proof banknote can be exempted. There are counterfeit banknotes when new banknotes appear. It is impossible for the Holy One to tolerate it."

Chen Ning turned around and left in a hurry, and soon came to the back hall.

"As long as the counterfeit money incident gets bigger and bigger, he won't be able to survive at all!"

Zhao Ting returned to his seat, and Shen Liben on the side also returned silently, while Chen Ning, the imperial censor, had eyes moving.

"Prime Minister." But Chen Ning ignored the two of them and looked at Hu Weiyong.

……

Did Su Guiyuan and Su Guiyuan fall in love with each other?

When Zhao Ting saw this scene, he was shocked again. The respectful attitude between the two people at the end made it even more meaningful. Although Su Xian left the main hall, I am afraid that the Holy Emperor's regard for him has not decreased at all.

"Yes!"

Hu Weiyong had already sat down again, with Li You and Song Shen accompanying him on both sides.

I'm afraid this is the only one in the entire palace city.

Chen Ning asked hurriedly: "Then what should we do next? If the Holy One no longer blames me."

Zhao Ting couldn't recognize the token, but they could clearly see it. It was the waist token held by the Governor Mao Xiang, with only some changes made to it.

The crime committed by Su Guiyuan this time was decided in one fell swoop, taking advantage of the Holy Emperor's anger. Eradicating the father and son as soon as possible can restore the country's previous stability and make good friends with the prime minister.

He expressed his judgment for the first time, "It seems... His Majesty intends to protect Su Xian."

In the palace.

Guessing the holy will is wrong.

And this time.

Seeing Chen Ning coming here, the two of them quickly stood up.

"Obviously, let the truth be judged, but secretly protect it. The holy will is really unpredictable."

The Crown Princess, Princess Ningguo, and Princess Chongning are still there.

"Eight months have passed since April this year... If the printing plates were lost, I'm afraid it would have been flooded with likes!"

The two lowered their heads and quickly headed outside.

Hu Weiyong said firmly, then looked at Song Shen aside, "That letter is the key, but why did it only appear once, click Su Guiyuan's name, and then disappear completely?"

"What's the point of interrogating this?"

He and Shen Liben, the Minister of Punishment, looked at each other, but they both saw the absurdity in each other's eyes.

"Prime Minister..." Chen Ning wanted to say more.

"impossible!"

But for now, let’s not mention how the Holy Spirit will respond.

Zhao Ting was very anxious at this moment.

"Master Chen!"

Hu Weiyong nodded lightly, "The money to avoid death! Huh! I'm afraid we really have to let them escape this time."

Su Guiyuan has suffered such a serious crime, does your Majesty really want to let him go?
"Why don't you go quickly?"

"Now that the situation has reached this point, all we have to do is wait for the Holy Inquisition! By coincidence, I am also going out for a trip."

They themselves have a sudden change of heart.

The more Hu Weiyong talked, the more confused he became, but it was he who began to really think about this case for the first time.

talking.

"Insufficient evidence!" Hu Weiyong suddenly turned his head to look at him, "It's not ironclad evidence! False evidence can only be used when the Holy One wants to kill them for sure, but now, the Holy One's thoughts... Humph! No wonder Mao Xiang sent people Always guard Su Guiyuan."

"I also saw the true nature."

now.

Su Xian didn't pay attention to what Zhao Ting and the others were thinking. He looked directly at the two black-armored figures who recorded the conversation just now, including someone's tone and demeanor.

After hearing the news that Su Xian was going to Dali Temple, they had been paying attention to their father's expression.

Apart from the initial shock, it was just a matter of waiting.

Finally, Wang He hurried back again, "Your Majesty, there is news from Dali Temple."

talking.

He quickly handed over the sealed letter in his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it and quickly opened it, only glancing at it briefly.

Then he smiled coldly.

"There is still a way. Use all the death-free money we gave you before."

Hearing this, Queen Ma and Chang Jing were stunned for a moment, then thought of something quickly, but the two princesses looked puzzled.

And Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "It's still the same old method, but this time the way of manipulating the evidence is too inferior. Why are you still speechless when asked by a boy?"

Several people became more and more curious.

After Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he handed the secret letter to Queen Ma, "You should also read it."

While Queen Ma took it over to look at it, Zhu Yuanzhang was also deep in thought.

After a long time, Queen Ma, who had finished reading, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Now the decision-making power has been kicked back. Zhao Ting also made it very clear that only one death-saving treasure note can be exempted, and..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, he had made a decision in an instant.

"A death-free treasure note alone is not enough..."

"But it's been eight months, and it's almost time." Zhu Yuanzhang said, but Queen Ma and the others couldn't understand it at all.

"What time? About what?"

She wanted to ask again, but saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was already looking outside the hall.

"Preach our will."

"The slave is here!" A high-pitched voice sounded outside the door almost instantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said casually that oral instructions are no better than imperial edicts and do not need to be polished or revised.

"It has been almost a month since Su Guiyuan was arrested, but the evidence is still insufficient at the moment. The speculation cannot be regarded as evidence..."

With these words spoken.

Chang Jing's expression immediately softened. Since my father could say this, he must have had the idea of ​​forgiveness in his heart.

Just suddenly.

"But! As the envoy of Chao Jingyuan, even if it is the crime of letting new banknotes flow out, he will still be executed!"

Hearing this, Chang Jing's heart that had just been relieved suddenly came back. Even Zhu Xiongying on the side seemed to understand and quickly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Fortunately, Queen Ma pulled him back.

The couple had been together for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang almost finished speaking the previous sentence, and she knew what to say next.

really!

"But the Emperor's favor is so great. Since we are the ones who handed out the death-proof treasure banknote, we will not let it become a piece of waste paper."

"Since Su Xian intends to use this treasure for his father, then as the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, we will naturally not break our promise."

"The money that will save you from death will spare you the death penalty!"

As soon as these words came out, several people were immediately overjoyed.

"Also, after Su Xian successfully rescued the Crown Princess, I had already made it my intention to let Su Xian get in touch with the Eighth Princess Zhu Yujing. Although the two sons are young, they will become childhood sweethearts if they get in touch. They may become a good story in the future."

"The father is guilty, but the son is innocent! It is not the Qilin son's fault that he was implicated."

"Thinking about his previous achievements in protecting treasures, rescuing the Crown Princess, and even working in Gokuyuan and Yanyin..."

"God loves talents, and I also have the responsibility to oversee the world's talents for my great Ming Dynasty and the country!"

"If this son becomes a relative of the emperor in the future, Su Guiyuan's guilt will not be implicated too much."

"The death-saving treasure can save Su Guiyuan from death!"

After saying that.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang He.

The latter's expression also softened a little, and he quickly asked: "Is that all your Majesty?"

Ah!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

"What about the position of the envoy?" At this time, Queen Ma said: "When we discussed it just now, didn't you say that the envoy would give Niucheng..."

Princess Chongning also looked over quickly, but she saw Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Let me know first, and we will talk about it later..."

"Yes!"

Wang He quickly agreed.

Leave in a hurry.

Being in the palace, there is always danger, and he has seen too many before.

The Holy Emperor was moody and would kill eunuchs like them at every move.

However, I don’t know when.

The Holy Spirit seems to have become much more merciful. When Wang He thought about the previous treasure banknote case, according to His Majesty's previous thoughts, he would probably not let it go until a river of blood was shed.

When did it change?

He walked quickly, but he was also thinking in his heart.

Blank case?
Sudden! An idea struck him and he recalled it.

This Su Xian, unknowingly, is so lucky...

He sighed.

He also quickly asked the young eunuch on the side to go to Dali Temple to inform him as soon as possible.

And just then.

But he blinked and saw a shadowy black-armored figure standing far away outside Kunning Palace.

"Hey! Jiang Qianhu..." Wang He recognized each other.

In the entire pro-military captain's mansion, there are only a few people who are valued by the saints.

"Your Majesty, please inform the Holy One for me immediately."

"What..." He was about to ask what was going on, but then he patted his mouth and said, "This slave is too talkative."

As he spoke, he nodded quickly.

I was about to go back to Kunning Palace, but I just didn't take a few steps.

Another figure came quickly.

Wang He rubbed his eyes, it was Mao Xiang!

His eyes were sharp, and his calm brows were now full of anxiety. Even his entire expression seemed to be hidden under some huge fear.

The first time Wang He saw it, he had a long-lasting instinct that something bad was going to happen.

really!

Wait for it to come closer.

After telling the news, he just felt dizzy!
What's going on here?
He had just settled down, but why was he resurrected... This time, the flames seemed to be even bigger!
"Don't be anxious, sir, I'll go and inform your majesty immediately!"

……

Half an hour later.

Inside Dali Temple.

The Holy Inquisitor finally came down.

However, when Zhao Ting heard those words, he looked incredulous at first.

The Holy Mountain really has the heart to protect it!
only……

The Eighth Princess, Su Xian, what are these?
And Su Guiyuan couldn't help but look at his son and blinked. For a moment, he just felt that the good fortune and misfortune that he had before, but in the end always a lucky star, appeared again.

Is this...out of danger?

He was thinking so!

And the inner hall.

"Sure enough!"

Hu Weiyong narrowed his eyes. He had been mentally prepared long before.

But he was still surprised when he heard these words from the Holy One.

"Your Majesty, you just let Su Guiyuan go like this? Is this still Your Majesty?"

Chen Ning couldn't believe it.

"Prime Minister, are you planning to appoint that boy as your consort so early?" Li You paid attention to something different. "Then the Su family got a big advantage in this matter?"

"This... what is the Holy Spirit's idea..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

But he saw Hu Weiyong with a serious face, as if he had thought of something, and looked at him with a solemn expression.

"No! Are the things in Jiangxi finished now?"

Listen to these familiar words.

Didn’t the Prime Minister ask just now?

Li You was confused, but he knew that this matter was really important.

As mentioned before, the Prime Minister has never taken Su Guiyuan seriously. Even if he becomes a fifth-rank envoy, in the eyes of the Prime Minister, he is far less of a threat than his son.

And this time...

The reason why you attach so much importance to Su Guiyuan is to use this reason to achieve your own goals!

Thinking of this, Li You quickly said:

"Prime Minister, the news should be back soon..."

"Ok?"

Hu Weiyong rubbed his face, "If we change it now, that's it, that's it! It can be considered that we have made some achievements through this matter."

Li You nodded understandingly.

And at this moment...

A figure hurried over and said something in Hu Weiyong's ear.

The latter looked directly at Li You.

"Prime Minister?"

"It's coming, faster than you and I thought..."

Hu Weiyong picked up the tea cup from the side and wanted to drink it into his mouth. In the end, he laughed silently.

"Haha, the most troublesome part has been solved. In this way, you don't have to worry about Su Guiyuan's life or death."

When Li You heard this, his face suddenly burst into joy.

"Is this... the news from over there?"

"That's right." Hu Weiyong praised: "You did a good job."

……

at the same time.

Inside Kunning Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang He who came in a hurry.

The latter's face was pale. Just as he was looking curious, he saw that the other party was already looking to his left and right.

"Your Majesty...Commander Mao has sent a message."

"Huh? What's the news?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled.

Wang He looked around again, his eyes filled with fear.

"Say!" Zhu Yuanzhang noticed something was wrong.

Wang He quickly said: "News from Jiangxi!"

"It is said that Liu Lian, who participated in politics in Jiangxi, was involved in the new banknote case."

"Three divisions of troops were sent to inspect, and Liu Lian participated in politics..."

As he spoke, he timidly raised his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked gloomy and did not wait for the former to speak.

He quickly said: "Liu Lian participated in politics and died by throwing himself into a well out of fear of crime!"

Swish!
As soon as these words came out.

The entire Kunning Palace suddenly fell silent!
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent at first, and his eyes, which had been peaceful just now, suddenly became murderous.

The anger of the past is gone.

There is no such thing as jumping on the table.

Some are just calm, a heart-stopping calm.

"What did you just...say?"

"Your Majesty!"

This time, Wang He's voice was filled with trance and trembling.

"Liu Lian, who is involved in politics in Jiangxi, has not yet been interrogated by the Third Division because of his involvement in the new banknote case..."

"I was afraid of sin... and threw myself into a well and died!"

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the back of his chair and said nothing.

What was on his mind was the time when Ding You came to Beijing three years after his studies in Guozixue.

The first thing I shouted when I looked at myself.

"In the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, my father was killed by an adulterer. He has passed away since then and has never closed his eyes to death... Lian will not forget the murder of his father for a moment. Please ask the Holy One to remember my father's early merits."

"Activate the Third Division to track down the real culprit!"

In just a few months...

Just a few months! ! !

"Haha...what a sin-fearer."

"Send the order!"

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke.

Wang He looked solemn.

"Su Guiyuan can be exempted from the crime of death, but cannot escape from the crime of living. However, if he has the money to avoid death, he will seize his envoy, deprive him of his official position, imprison him at home, and cannot leave or leave without orders..."

"In addition, Niu Cheng, the son of the prime minister's kindhearted prince, is the new envoy of Chaojing Academy!"

"The Prime Minister has done a good job this time!"

call!
He took a deep breath, "Everything... will be as the Prime Minister said."
