After only half a moment, Bu Wu walked out of the temple gate.

"Lord Du, Your Majesty has summoned you in!"

Hearing this, Du Ruting's old face, which had been frozen and white, pulled out vigorously, and let him raise his legs and move, but the wind was cold and cold, and his body was almost frozen, and he was also quick to step forward and help, otherwise Du Ruting designated to fall to the ground.

In the inner room of the palace, Emperor Xia Jing looked at Du Ruting's appearance and said, "Come here, have a bowl of ginger soup with Du Shoufu!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Du Ruting trembled and thanked him, and when the warm ginger soup was delivered, Du Ruting poured it in one go, and the whole person came back to life.

"Alas..."After Du Ruting took a deep breath, he got up and knelt down, and kowtowed to Emperor Xia Jing and wailed: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!" ”

Suddenly shouted these words, which made Emperor Xia Jing leak a look of suspicion, thinking about Du Ruting's seniority as a courtier of the Three Dynasties, Emperor Xia Jing said: "Du Shoufu, get up and speak, I really don't know what your crime is all of a sudden?" ”

Du Ruting trembled and stood up, looking at it, his body was about to fall apart.

"Your Majesty, the old minister's poor adoption of his son has caused his son to act recklessly and commit heinous disasters... But please Your Majesty watch the old minister work hard all his life, and let the old minister see his son! ”

There was no beginning or end to what he said, and Emperor Xia Jing naturally ignored it: "Du Shoufu, you are not cold, you are confused for a while, I have heard that Du Hui, the son of the capital, is a talented person who knows righteousness and reason, how could he do monstrous disasters..."

After Emperor Xia Jing finished speaking, Du Ruting actually came to bow again, and let the queen shout: "Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

Regarding Du Ruting's shocking performance, Xia Jingdi really couldn't grasp the old guy's thoughts, so Xia Jingdi sat down and waited for Du Ruting to praise him.

Sure enough, Du Ruting first lamented that his son was guilty, and then came to His Majesty Mingjian, and finally turned to Jingzhao Pavilion, hearing this, Emperor Xia Jing understood Du Ruting's trick, this old thing is to make Emperor Xia Jing himself preconceived, thinking that his son Du Hui is not guilty, at present, Liu Xun's son Liu Jihuo case is in an uproar, and before the accident, the only person Liu Ji has ever contacted is Du Hui, so whether Liu Xun deliberately avenges his son, pickets Du Hui, or investigates step by step in accordance with the rules of the case. Du Hui couldn't escape the impurity in a short period of time, so Du Ruting came to this trick.

When Du Ruting wailed, his old face was already full of tears.

"Your Majesty, the son of the old minister returned from traveling to various states, and his original intention was to enter the examination and serve His Majesty, the first emperor, and the first emperor for the favor of our Du family, but who would have thought, my son and he only went to the street to visit old friends, and after coming back, he fell into the sin of being picketed, which is really unacceptable, and the old minister can't accept it!"

"Du Shoufu, since your son is not guilty, why are you crying, get up and speak!"

Emperor Xia Jing motioned to the chamberlain, and Bu Wu immediately brought a chair for Du Ruting.

"Capital, Your Majesty has spoken, you don't have to refuse, otherwise it will be a crime of rebellion!"

Under Buwu's vigilance, Du Ruting quickly got up, sat on the chair, he wiped a handful of tears and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Jingzhao Pavilion and the capital government accepted the fire case inquiry, and the old man didn't have any idea about it, but who would have thought that they would take the old man's son away, saying that it was an interrogation, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Liu Xun's jealousy of the old man, and now my son is in Jingzhao Pavilion for a day and night, and I don't know what happened, the old man sent someone to visit, and he couldn't see it, Your Majesty, please call the shots for the old minister!" Lao Chen dares to use his life as a guarantee, my son has absolutely not done anything undisciplined, let alone have anything to do with Liu Jihuo's case! ”

A series of wails, only the Qianqing Palace Pavilion to the disturbed tinnitus, Emperor Xia Jing looked at Du Ruting's appearance, thought for a long time, and then said: "Du Shoufu, since you say so, then I will also have someone to investigate the case, but as the capital, you must understand that Jingzhao Pavilion has the right to investigate the central capital, this is the rule set by the first emperor, Liu Xun is a Zhongshu Mansion Counselor, under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Pavilion, it is also reasonable, if he is suspected of favoritism, I will not spare him, but if I deliberately disturb the law and discipline for your son, That is the disrespect for the first emperor and the rebellion against the first emperor! ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare, the old minister definitely has no intention of disobeying the first emperor and the first emperor..."

Emperor Xia Jing's words suddenly came out, directly frightened Du Ruting's heart trembling, he didn't expect that Emperor Xia Jing would talk about things with the first emperor and the first emperor's outline of the regular law and discipline, in addition to Du Ruting's shock, Emperor Xia Jing didn't say two things, and actually changed his mind and said: "But Nian has been working hard in Du Capital for decades, serving Great Xia, serving me, I specially gave Du Hui the privilege of not punishing him, as for how to investigate the case, I will order the Supervision Department to supervise it, the capital, can you rest assured?" ”

In the face of Emperor Xia Jing's final questioning, Du Ruting didn't dare to say more, after all, the sacred heart is unpredictable, after thinking about it, Du Ruting knelt down to thank him, and when he got out of the Qianqing Palace, Du Ruting only felt a chill down his spine, and even the cold and snowy weather in the middle of winter around him was only midsummer.

"Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?"

With such suspicion, Du Ruting slowly left the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, Du Shoufu is gone!"

After Bu Wu sent Du Ruting back, he came back to say goodbye, and Emperor Xia Jing nodded: "Immediately order someone to draft an order and send it to Jingzhao Pavilion!" ”

"Slaves obey!" Bu Wu had to order to go, but it was only three steps, but Bu Wu turned around: "Your Majesty, just where did the decree come from?" ”

Emperor Xia Jing thought for a moment and said, "Summons Meng Shuo, Taifu Pavilion contacts!" ”

Taifu Pavilion, Meng Shuo lived in the pavilion for days in the weather when the snow closed the road, and he did not return to the house, but he was clear about what was happening outside.

"Liu Xun's wine-colored son is dead, interesting, this thing is really interesting!"

Meng Shuo laughed and said secretly, as if this fire case in the epicenter of the city was just a fun.

"Meng's capital, what kind of fight do you say will happen between Liu Xun and Du Ruting?"

Luo Ping'an, who was already in the Taifu Pavilion Shaofu Order, asked from the side, Meng Shuo glanced at Luo Ping'an, and for the fire scar on his face, Meng Shuo said: "This is not your business, let alone the business of this mansion, in addition, you have to stay away from the fire, otherwise next time... Not so lucky! ”

"That's what your lord said!"

Luo Ping'an gave a gift, but he was very annoyed in his heart, thinking that he almost died in the Tianleizhu incident that he suffered during the period of the first emperor, and later experienced the rebellion of Emperor Wu, he thought that he could get a position in the cleaning of many old ministers, but he was picked up by Meng Shuo, although he succumbed to Meng Shuo's subordinates, he was the second-in-command of Taifu Pavilion, but as the saying goes, the boss is bad, and the second boss is mocking, which means simply that the boss is always guarding against the second, and the second boss will obstruct and mock what the boss does.
