"Which temple are you a guard of? What is the matter of finding the Imperial History of Honto? ”

In an elegant room in the backyard of the Imperial Palace, Huang Xi sat behind a desk, slowly sipping the steaming tea in the teacup in his hand, while quietly looking at the guard from Gyeongbokgung Palace standing in front of him, he was a little curious about what this guard could find him.

"My lord, I am the guard of the middle palace." The guard bowed to Huang Xi and bowed, "Lord Du Yushi, I have come here this time to report something important, and I hope that my lord can call the shots." ”

"What's the matter with you?" Huang Xi heard the words lightly, and he was leisurely sipping tea there, so he didn't think that this guard had anything important to tell him, and nine times out of ten he came to pass the word to him on behalf of the palace.

For Li Xuan, if he can bring Huang Xi, who has the power to supervise civil and military officials, to his side, then it will be easier for him to control the situation.

Huang Xi naturally knew Li Xuan's intentions, but he also knew that the reason why Li Yuntian set up the three divisions and one court was to limit Li Xuan's power, so he adopted a cold treatment method for Li Xuan's overtures, and he neither offended nor accepted it.

In the final analysis, Huang Xi understood that Li Yuntian was the one who could decide his fate, so how could he dare to get close to Li Xuan, wouldn't that be asking for trouble.

To tell the truth, compared with the "left minister" of the previous parliamentary government, Huang Xiting likes to be called "Lord Du Yushi", because "Du Yushi" is a unique official position of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a great honor that he can use it now.

What is particularly important is that Huang Xi was only the second-in-command in the government before, with Li Ji pressing him to the death of the top, and Liu Shangmin secretly making conspiracies below, and he, the "right minister", would be subject to a lot of constraints if he wanted to do things.

But it's different in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is the out-and-out boss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and all the imperial histories have to follow his orders, and this kind of life without fetters is too comfortable.

"Lord Du Yushi, during a patrol, I overheard the palace maid in the middle palace talking, saying that the lady of the middle hall was using witchcraft in the room to murder the loyal prince."

The guard pondered for a moment, and said to Huang Xi with a serious expression, "I thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was important, so I came to tell the lord and ask him to decide." ”

"What?" Hearing this, Huang Xi was stunned for a moment, his face was full of surprise, he never expected that the guard would bring him such an amazing news, which actually involved Li Yuntian.

"Lord Du Yushi, Lord Zhong is not only a noble lord but also an envoy sent by the Ming Emperor, if there is a mistake, we can't explain it to the Ming Dynasty." The guard saw Huang Xi's stunned expression, so he bowed down again and said, looking worried.

"Are you sure you're listening? Do you remember which palace maid said this? Huang Xi came back to his senses now, and hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and asked in a deep voice, he actually used witchcraft to murder Li Yuntian, this is a big case, you must know that Li Yuntian is a more noble person than the king of Joseon!

"I listened carefully, but because I only saw a vague back at night, I didn't dare to catch up, so I didn't know the identity of the palace maid who leaked the matter." Hearing this, the guard replied regretfully, obviously he didn't dare to act rashly at that time, otherwise he would definitely not be able to leave the middle palace alive.

Huang Xi's brows immediately furrowed when he heard this, and he stared coldly at the guard to know if what he said was the truth, you must know that this matter is not trivial, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The guards met Huang Xi's gaze without fear, without feeling the slightest fear, which made Huang Xi's brows furrow even tighter, if the middle temple lady really used witchcraft to murder Li Yuntian, then this would be a great deal.

"Don't tell anyone about this matter, the royal history of Bendu will find out clearly, if the news leaks out of the royal history of Bendu Yushi will ask you!" After pondering for a while, Huang Xi made up his mind and said solemnly to the guard, "If what you say is true, then Prince Zhong will definitely reward you heavily!" ”

"Master Xie." The guard was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down to thank Huang Xi, and then left happily.

After the guard was taken down to settle down, Huang Xi got up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, because of the sudden incident, he didn't know how to do it for a while, after all, it was about Li Yuntian and Li Xuan, and there was no way out.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Xi felt that it was better to report this matter to Li Yuntian first, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare a carriage and go to the Hancheng Office of the Wutang to meet Li Yuntian.

It is worth mentioning that since Li Yuntian brought the four-wheeled carriage to Seoul, it has become the standard configuration of those dignitaries in Seoul, and everyone wants to get a four-wheeled carriage to show their unique identity.

It's just that the streets of Seoul are narrower than those of the big cities of Daming, so these carriages occupy a lot of the road as soon as they hit the road, causing pedestrians along the way to give way.

"Lord Wang, the lower official feels that this matter is serious, and I implore the prince to show it." When he arrived at the Hancheng Office of the Lecture Hall, Huang Xi told Li Yuntian about the situation reported by the guard, and then bowed down and asked for instructions.

"How can such a thing happen?" Li Yuntian's face showed a look of surprise, and then he shook his head with a wry smile, "It seems that the king and princess of Joseon have a deep misunderstanding!" ”

"The prince is the important minister of the country, the humerus of the Son of Heaven, and he committed an unforgivable capital crime by murdering the prince according to the law." Huang Xi also shook his head secretly in his heart when he heard this, and then said seriously, don't look at Li Xuan's princess who is above 10,000 people under the Korean State, but if she wants to murder Li Yuntian, she will still be severely punished.

In fact, don't say that a prince with a noble status like Li Yuntian is those low-ranking envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty in the past, if he is murdered like this, he will definitely punish Li Xuan's princess, let alone Li Yuntian!

"Since this is the case, then this king will check it out to see if there is such a thing, so that no one will make a fuss about it." Li Yuntian frowned and pondered for a while when he heard this, then raised his head and said to Yun Na who was standing aside, "You take the warrant of this king, go to the Korean capital to transfer troops into the palace, search the middle palace, and see if there are any witch things in the middle palace!" ”

"Subordinates obey." Yun Na bowed her hand to Li Yuntian when she heard this, and replied in a coquettish voice.

"This matter is related to the reputation of the Middle Palace, so this king hopes that this time you will cooperate with the three divisions and one court to handle the case and jointly send people to search the Middle Palace, so that this rumor can be completely quelled!" Afterwards, Li Yuntian said to Huang Xi in a deep voice, "All the officials of the three divisions and one courtyard in Seoul must go." ”

"Don't worry, the lower officials and others will definitely find out about this matter." Hearing this, Huang Xi hurriedly got up and bowed down to answer, it seems that this time the palace is going to be turned upside down, and the chickens and dogs are restless.

Soon, the official of the Third Division of the Korean State was summoned by Huang Xi to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and in the meeting hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Huang Xi told the guard that the lady of the middle hall secretly used witchcraft to murder Li Yuntian, which immediately caused an uproar among the people present, and no one could have imagined that such a serious thing would happen.

Although Li Ji and Liu Shangmin, Cui Yunde, Jin Zongrui and others felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable, it was not impossible, thinking of Li Xuan's current situation, then the middle temple Niangniang must have hated Li Yuntian in her heart for taking away the power in Li Xuan's hands, so it is very likely to do such a vicious thing.

In fact, the magic of witchcraft is ethereal, and the letter is the opposite, but this incident is not whether the magic of witchcraft can kill people, but the nature of the matter is too bad, Li Yuntian is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and attempting to murder the prince is an out-and-out capital crime, and he will be beheaded all over the house.

Moreover, once it is confirmed that the middle temple Niangniang really used witchcraft on Li Yuntian, then it will be a rebellion for Da Ming, and Da Ming will definitely not turn a blind eye.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the prince has sent this official to investigate this matter thoroughly with all of you, hoping to find out the facts and put an end to this rumor." Just when Li Ji, Liu Shangmin and the others were talking in a low voice, the closed door opened, and Yun Na walked in with a serious expression.

"Adjutant!" Seeing this situation, everyone present hurriedly got up to greet her, and was very jealous of Yun Na, everyone knew that Yun Na was Li Yuntian's henchman, so how dare they slack off.

"Before the official came, the prince specially explained that if there is indeed a witch matter, then the case will be tried by the deputy envoy of the prosecutor and the judge of the forbidden government, and you will all be judges." Yun Na glanced around at the scene and said quietly.

"Yes!" Li Ji, Liu Shangmin, and others replied loudly when they heard this, and then couldn't help but look at Jin Cheng, who had been entrusted with important tasks by Li Yuntian since the last trial of Li Jin's case, and unexpectedly stood out from the competition for the deputy envoy of the DPRK, and became the second person in the inspection department after Liu Shangmin, the envoy of the inspection department.

Jin Cheng's heart set off waves at this time, both excited and nervous, he knew that this case was as important as the last time he interrogated Li Yao, and it was a great honor for him to be able to try these two cases.

But the last trial was led by Li Yuntian behind the scenes, which made him unsure of what to do this time, and he was a little unclear about what to do.

Therefore, in private, Jin Cheng found an opportunity to ask Yun Na for instructions, wanting to know Li Yuntian's attitude towards this matter, and then he could control the proportions of the trial.

Yun Na knew that Jin Cheng had no bottom in his heart, so she told him what Li Yuntian said about the four words "trial according to the facts", which meant that he should try the case according to the normal process.

After getting Li Yuntian's instructions, Jin Cheng gradually calmed down, trial of cases is his strength, he tried countless cases of all kinds and sizes in the Yiban Mansion back then, and has rich experience and experience, otherwise Li Yuntian would not let him serve as the second-in-command of the Prosecutor's Department.

In order to keep the secret and avoid the leakage of the news, all the officials who learned about the matter had to be with Yun Na for the time being, and after Yun Na mobilized the required manpower, the group hurried to Gyeongbokgung Palace, preparing to search the middle palace where the Joseon king and princess lived, and the crisis of Gyeongbokgung Palace slowly kicked off.
