Chapter 376
Lord Wanli looked down at the top of his grandson's head, squinted his eyes, and asked, "Is there anything the grandson of the emperor wants to present to me?"

"Grandpa Emperor." Zhu Zhun said, "Sun Chen wanted to clarify the truth to the Emperor because of the Xiaoqingyuan murder case."

"Xiaoqingyuan?" Master Wanli didn't seem to know that Concubine Liu jumped into the well and died in Xiaoqingyuan. No, it's not that he didn't know, but he didn't take it to heart.The emperor said: "Isn't everything in the harem handled by the clan mansion?"

Eunuch Zhang, who was serving the emperor, came out quickly and answered, "Yes. Now in the case of Xiaoqingyuan, some suspects have been caught, and they are all detained in the clan mansion."

"That's right. Does the grandson of the emperor have something to do with this case? Is Xiaoqingyuan related to the East Palace?"

Zhu Zhun's face flushed slightly, and he tried to control it: "The emperor, Sun Chen's mother, the princess, was suspected of killing someone just because she passed by the gate of Xiaoqingyuan. But the truth is not like this."

"It's not like that, what's the matter?" The emperor suddenly lowered his voice slowly, "The grandson of the emperor thinks that my officials are ineffective, and for some reason, he deliberately went to arrest the princess."

"No, Sun Chen didn't mean that. Sun Chen just wanted to say that the dead person—" Zhu Zhun bit his lip, "The dead person who was salvaged in Xiaoqingyuan was actually not Concubine Liu, but someone else. His person. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the Crown Princess."

One sentence caused an uproar in the hall.

All the ministers couldn't help discussing, they were very shocked.Before coming here, he had more or less heard about murders in the cold palace.However, the person who has never heard of death is not Liu Bin.

"Is the emperor's grandson's words true or false? Why didn't the clan's family report such an important matter to me?!" The emperor seemed to be a little angry.

Zuo Zongling, who was in charge of the case at the Clan Mansion, received the emperor's order, entered the hall, and replied tremblingly: "Reporting to the emperor, Wu Zuo carefully inspected the corpse found in Xiaoqingyuan, and found no signs of death on the deceased except for drowning. Signs other than death."

"It's not found out that it's not Concubine Liu?"

"Yes. No."

The eyes of civil and military officials, together with Lord Wanli, fell on Zhu Zhun's head.Why did Zhu Zhun say that the deceased was not Concubine Liu.When Zhu Zhun raised his head, he could clearly feel a bright light coming from the right.

That is King Li, the legendary devil, Yaksha who can make anyone terrified.Now, Zhu Zhuneng can personally experience this chill, which is coming from Zhu Li to him.

I think his wife is kind enough to help the child for the sake of the child, but if the child does not know what to do, he will learn from the adults and be ungrateful.

"Sun Chen has evidence in his hand, but Sun Chen has something to hide and cannot tell the emperor at this stage. I just hope that the emperor can let someone find out the truth, and don't rush to frame and slander those innocent people." Zhu Zhun lowered his head and sincerely said Say.

The people around gasped when they heard this. Is the grandson of the emperor telling a joke? There is no proof. He dared to speak like this in the court.

Master Wanli's complexion sank, and suddenly he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his palm: "The day before yesterday, the prince came to me to plead for someone. Because of this, I was furious at the prince, saying that if the prince can only focus on himself and be himself How can I make mistakes again and again, and now the people in Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers are asking for a letter, stating to me the various atrocities committed by the prince's people."

There was no sound in the hall, and everyone dared not speak out because of their atmosphere.One has to admire that the little lonely figure kneeling in the hall can hold it at this very moment.

The official standing in front of the crown prince on the left came out and said, "Your Majesty."

Everyone was shocked, seeing that the person who came out was none other than Bob, the chief minister of the cabinet.Bob, everyone remembers, seems to be the candidate who recommended the second prince as the crown prince back then, and has always been, committed to supporting the prince as the future emperor.Could it be that this is to plead for the prince.

"I agree."

Bob said: "Back then, after the first prince was abolished as the crown prince, it was the minister who strongly recommended the current second prince to succeed the crown prince. However, I would like to ask the emperor to recall that when the eldest prince was the prince, he did nothing wrong. What Empress Xiaode and her family did, the eldest prince was completely ignorant when he was young. At that time, the emperor asked the eldest prince to guard the mausoleum in Mount Tai, in fact, for the sake of the eldest prince's safety, and worried that the eldest prince would be used by some people again. Now , the Eldest Prince has returned to the palace, regarding the position of the Crown Prince, according to the order of seniority since ancient times, based on emotion and reason, it should be the Eldest Prince who returns to inherit the position of the Crown Prince."

what?
Exclamation marks can be written on the faces of civil and military officials and ministers.

Bob what is this?Bao Shuai abandons the car?He thinks that the current second prince is useless, so he hastened to curry favor with the first prince.

"Bao Aiqing's words are from the heart?" Lord Wanli narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did Master Bao forget that over the years, when the prince made many mistakes, you and the crown prince still did not forget to ask me?" Guarantee the prince."

"Go back to the emperor." Bob said, "I just do my duty as a minister, and fulfill my responsibilities for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. I won't say who it is, but the emperor's. The mistake the second prince has made now , not only to cover up the subordinates and indulge the subordinates, but now even the crown princess is suspected of murdering the people in the palace. The emperor's grandson is acting so recklessly. The minister thinks that the Eastern Palace is so impetuous that it is difficult to inherit the cause of the Ming Dynasty , this matter should be postponed.”

"Bao Aiqing means—"

"Whether the position of prince is suitable for the former prince or the current prince, or if both of them are inappropriate, I think we can postpone it for now. After all, the eldest prince is not in good health, and it is difficult to return to the East Palace to preside over important events."

The hall fell into a dead silence.

Bob's proposal is undoubtedly bound to involve everyone.

There was a ripple in Wanli's eyes.When Zhu Qi looked up, she could see her father's eyes and expression, which were as rough as the sea before the storm.We all know that Lord Wanli has a lot of dissatisfaction with the current prince, but now someone proposes to change the master of the East Palace, but Lord Wanli seems unhappy.

why?
Zhu Qi felt that she couldn't figure it out.

Ever since he was a child, he has been able to see the prince Zhu Ming as useless and cowardly. He loses a lot to his brothers and outsiders in whatever he does, and there is almost no merit in it.

If he were Lord Wanli, he would definitely not make Zhu Ming the prince, but the third son whom he hates. Although the third son has an annoying personality, at least he is reliable in his work. The third son, Zhu Li, is definitely better than Zhu Ming.

It's just that he is not Wanli Lord, so he doesn't know what his father is thinking.
