The third prince Ji Zhong was a little anxious, he led Chen Ju to the side, and said in a deep voice: "Grand Duke, this person has a lot to do in this assassination, don't let him go easily!" ”

The gray-haired Chen Ju glanced back at Ji Chong, shook his head and sighed.

"Your Highness, you know the old slave, the old slave never goes out of the palace, and he doesn't ask about the affairs of the court."

What the great eunuch meant when he said this sentence was that he was appointed by someone, and the entire Great Jin Dynasty was only one person who could direct this grand duke.

Ji was shocked: "Father is awake?" ”

Chen Ju glanced at the third prince lightly, and said indifferently: "Your Highness, Your Majesty said that you have no rules and rules to do things, which is a very bad thing. ”

"No matter what Li Yan says, he is also a member of the imperial court, according to the rules, even if you want to take someone, you must first go through Your Majesty or pass through Shangshutai, and before you take someone without being convicted and deprived of your official body, you can't be lynched."

Chen Ju glanced at Li Yan, who was still sitting on the ground in the distance, and said faintly: "He hasn't been convicted yet, he is still a soldier of the Ministry of War, you use lynching to beat a soldier of the Ministry of War like this, where is the face of the six departments, and where is the face of the three provinces?" ”

Civilian officials like to report to the group.

And what these people pay the most attention to is the rules, especially the rules that are beneficial to them, such as the "Scholar Protection" regulations of the Great Jin Dynasty, and those civil officials must defend them to the death no matter what.

Because no matter what sins Li Yan committed, he is still a squire of the military department, and the people of your Ji family can now beat a military department Shangshu without going through any process, and tomorrow you can kill the Shangshu of the six departments and the Zaifu of the three provinces without saying anything!

No one knows if this kind of thing will fall on their heads.

Ji Zhong gritted his teeth and snorted: "Grand Duke, these people are plotting to kill my father, and as a son of man, I really can't take care of it much." ”

Chen Ju shook his head: "It is true that His Royal Highness is a son of man, but he is also a prince and a son of the royal family, His Royal Highness beat Li Yan here indiscriminately today, and the evil anger in his heart has disappeared, but Your Highness, have you ever thought about how to face the impeachment of those civil officials?" ”

Ji Zhong said angrily: "They dare! ”

"This matter involves my father, is my father's life not as good as a Li Yan?"

"Of course they dare."

Chen Ju shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, look at it, at most tomorrow, the snowflake-like book will be reported to Shangshutai, and they will participate in your destruction of the ancestral law." ”

Chen Ju shook his head and turned around and walked towards Li Yan's position.

"Your Highness, you're stepping on their tails."

Originally, Ji was the prince, and those civil officials didn't dare to sue him, but after they were stepped on the tail, they wouldn't pay so much attention to the distinction between the upper and lower.

This is what Li Yan just said, and there will be people who don't follow the rules to Ji Chong.

At this time, Li Yan was still sitting on the ground, panting incessantly to relieve the pain all over his body, Chen Ju squatted down and sighed: "Li Shilang, Your Highness, he is still young, and he is too reckless, don't mind." ”

Li Yan grinned: "As long as Your Majesty is safe and sound, those of us who are courtiers will have nothing to suffer some grievances." ”

Chen Ju nodded: "Can Li Shilang still stand up?" ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"Then our family sent someone to send Li Shilang back to Pingnanhou Mansion?"

The right attendant of the military department shook his head: "The Grand Duke just let people inform the Pingnan Hou Mansion." ”

Chen Ju nodded and stood up: "I have wronged Li Shilang." ”

After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Yan sat on the ground and couldn't move, he turned his head to look at the third prince Ji Zhong with some difficulty, and smiled: "Your Highness, do you want me to draw a charge now?" ”

The green tendons on Ji Chong's forehead burst out, he snorted angrily, threw his sleeves and left.

………………………………

The news that the Son of Heaven was safe soon spread throughout the capital,

After hearing the news, the whole court was quite excited.

Everyone knows that the Son of Heaven in Chengde cannot die at this time, if the Son of Heaven in Chengde dies, the chaos in the capital without the prince is a trivial matter, and there will even be several princes who go their own way, thus setting off a situation of civil war.

It's just that although there is news in the palace, the emperor of Chengde still does not appear in front of anyone, and all the government affairs of the court are handed over to the three provinces and six ministries to deal with.

Even Ji Wen, the seventh prince, who had been guarding the gate of Changle Palace for two or three days, was persuaded by Chen Ju to return to the mansion and failed to see the Chengde Prince.

After the Seventh Prince left the palace, he was a little confused, he sat in his carriage, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Go to Chase Place."

In Princess Qinghe's Mansion in Datongfang, Li Xin can barely walk on the ground, but his chest is still a little stuffy, and the wound on his back is still painful all the time.

In the past few days, he didn't have to go to work in Yulinwei, he was a lot more relaxed, and he was able to calm down and think about things, and the turbulent situation in the capital gradually became a lot clearer in his mind.

During the period when he was recuperating from his injuries, the news of the Wei Wangfu was first sent to the Ninth Princess Ji Lingxiu, and then Ji Lingxiu twittered to Li Xin.

However, in the past few days, the ninth princess is not in a very good mood, after all, her father and the "chef" are all injured.

When His Royal Highness King Wei came to the door, it was already late at night, and Li Xin was already lying on the bed, and after being woken up, he walked out wearing a dress.

At this time, the Seventh Prince, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and his complexion was not very good-looking, and he had been staying in the palace early and returning late in the past few days, and he had basically not rested much.

Li Xin reluctantly poured him a cup of tea and said slowly: "Is there any movement in the palace?" ”

The Seventh Prince nodded and spoke: "There is news from the palace that my father is only a minor injury, and now there is no major problem, as long as he recuperates for a period of time, he can be healed." ”

"Who said that?"

"A couple of imperial doctors."

His Royal Highness King Wei picked up the tea, took a sip, and continued: "But my father still hasn't seen anyone, and I haven't been able to see him at the gate of Changle Palace. ”

Li Xin sat down in the chair slowly, and the pain from the knife wound in his back made him frown slightly.

"Anything else?"

The Seventh Prince shook his head: "How to deal with this assassination case, the imperial court has not yet decided, but today the third brother arrested Li Yan and beat him in the prison of the Criminal Department, and later Chen Ju personally went to the Criminal Department and released Li Yan." ”

Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince smiled slightly: "It is said that Li Yan was beaten by the third brother with dozens of whips, and when he was picked up by the people of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, there were not a few pieces of good meat on his body. ”

Li Xin's brows furrowed.

Chen Ju is the henchman of the Son of Heaven in Chengde, and Chen Ju's release is equivalent to the release of the Son of Heaven in Chengde.

In other words, in this case, the imperial court will most likely find out until Li Ji.

But it doesn't make sense, the Pingnan Hou Mansion has done such a big thing against the sky, and there is no reason for the Holy Son of Heaven to continue to tolerate them......

Even if you are afraid of Li Shen, you will not be afraid to such a point!

Li Xin frowned, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

His face changed slightly, and he slowly looked at the Seventh Prince.

"Your Highness, in the capital...... Something big could be wrong! ”
