Return after the phoenix falls

Chapter 116 The Secret of the Past (1)
In the twinkling of an eye, the harem and the former dynasty passed through January peacefully. In a daze, it was already late autumn, and the eldest prince's fifth birthday was approaching.

The birth of the eldest prince directly led to the fact that Concubine Chun became the lord of the harem, so the empress loved and sternly treated the eldest prince. Although she was not established as the crown prince, Emperor Jin had only this son, the son of the empress, who would inherit the throne in the future It should be taken for granted.

So when the eldest prince's birthday approached, it also ushered in the truth of King Xuan's investigation of Huizhou.

In the Qingzheng Palace, King Xuan stood in the center of the palace in a purple court dress. He was upright and said coldly: "I report to the Emperor, after a month of secret investigations, I have finally found out the truth about the Huizhou incident."

"Oh? What's going on?"

Jinxuan took a few steps forward, handed over the pocket of his sleeve to Eunuch Chen, and said: "The incident in Huizhou was indeed caused by the local officials oppressing and corrupting the people. Some people in the martial arts saw the suffering of the people, so they arrested the leader of the filthy official. Paraded in the streets to show the public, but was taken advantage of by someone with a heart, using the name of this martial arts man to cheat and abduct, smashing the county government and the official's residence, and this is how the official turned down."

"Then, what about those corrupt officials?" Emperor Jin didn't go to read the papers presented by Eunuch Chen, but asked Jinxuan carefully.

"The emperor once said that he promised his younger brother to kill him first and then act later. Seeing that his younger brother showed his identity, the filthy official not only arrested him without putting his hands up, but also wanted to kill him. So the younger brother made his own decision and beheaded him in front of the city gate."

Jinxuan's words surprised all the ministers in the court. Killing the court officials is still so plausible. No matter what the emperor promised at the beginning, it was just a verbal sentence. After all, the emperor is the one who holds the power of life and death, not him, King Xuan.

Emperor Jin didn't seem to mind, and said with a smile: "Such filthy officials should be killed. King Xuan has done a good job, so I will reward King Xuan with a hundred acres of fertile land."

A hundred acres of fertile land is not a big reward, but after all, it was said by the emperor himself, this reward has changed. When everyone thought that King Xuan would kneel down to receive the reward, they heard King Xuan speak loudly .

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of accepting this reward. I just carried out the execution of the executioner in the end. It was another person who found out the reason for all this."

"There is another person? Who is it? I will reward you a lot!"

King Xuan smiled without any trace of impurity: "This person is just outside the hall, I implore the emperor to allow him to go to the hall."

"allow!"

Eunuch Chen went down and brought the man to the hall, and after a while, a bright young man in blue clothes appeared at the gate of the hall, kneeling slowly towards Emperor Jin: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"Flat body."

The man stood up in response to the sound, stood up, lowered his eyelids in a proper manner, Emperor Jin saw that he understood the rules, and said: "King Xuan said that you made great achievements in this Huizhou incident, is there such a thing?"

"Returning to the emperor, it's just a fluke."

"It's not a fluke, but you are capable. Tell me, your name."

The young man raised his head, with a dangerous smile in his smile: "The grass man's name is Lian Yan."

"Lian Yan? Oh, I wonder if you are willing to work for me, Anguo?"

Lian Yan knelt down on one knee: "Cao Min is willing."

"Haha, okay, I will temporarily designate you as the imperial bodyguard and select you for later use."

"Sir, thank you Lord Long En."

Lian Yan got up and glanced at King Xuan, his eyes were full of smiles, as if a stealing cat had found a new prey, full of joy.

"Your majesty, I have one more thing to do." King Xuan ignored Lian Yan's eyes and told Emperor Jin.

"What's the matter?"
