The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

Chapter 328 It's getting cold

As the only second prince of His Majesty, he jumped out at this time and exposed Empress Lin for murdering the noble concubine and mutilating the emperor's heir. Empress Lin lost her virtue, and King An would also lose the advantage of being a son. Long, there is a possibility of succession.

His Majesty must be suspicious of him.

But so what, Empress Lin is vicious and ruthless. This time the Marquis of Cheng'an was imprisoned, she must have hated her mother and concubine and the eldest princess. Now she can think of a way to build a pagoda to gain power for herself and suppress the eldest princess. When the matter of the Marquis of Cheng'an's Mansion is settled, it is unknown what dirty and sinister tricks she will use to deal with the concubine and the others.

As long as Empress Lin is still alive, Jiang Jingzhang will always be His Majesty's only son, who will inherit the throne in the future, and will always be a threat to the mother and concubine.

He would rather risk being suspected by His Majesty, but also take the opportunity to completely overthrow Queen Lin and make Jiang Jingzhang lose his greatest support.

There was a dead silence in the hall, only the candlelight on the tree of lanterns was still burning, occasionally making popping noises, echoing in the hall.

Emperor Nanxing's face was extremely ugly, his eyes flicked over Jiang Jinghuang and Bai Wei who were kneeling in front of him, he suddenly sneered, and said to himself: "Okay, finally this day has come."

He walked to the window, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and stood quietly for a moment: "You step back, Bai Wei stays."

Jiang Jinghuang kowtowed to thank him, got up from the ground, and was about to leave the hall when he was suddenly stopped by Emperor Nanxing.

"Your Majesty!"

Jiang Jinghuang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly knelt down again.

"You and I are a father and son. Although I have never given you the teaching and love you deserve as a father, I still hope that you will be peaceful and happy. I hope you will be able to take care of yourself from now on."

The emperor's voice was neither high nor low, and his tone could even be called gentle.

However, Jiang Jinghuang also heard the meaning of warning in the words: "My son, thank you for your father's kindness, and you must remember what your father taught you to regret today."

Looking at the back of Jiang Jinghuang leaving, Emperor Nanxing's face was gloomy. Maybe he underestimated this son from the very beginning. He had always looked down upon him before.

Just now, his words and demeanor are indeed not very clever, and it also revealed his weakness of slow reaction, but he spoke calmly, neither in a hurry nor slow, with clear logic. There is a rhythmic structure, not as clumsy and cowardly as others think.

In the south study, there was another moment of silence.

"Zhang Dequan, take Bai Wei down for interrogation. There is no matter big or small."

Zhang Dequan's voice trembled: "Obey."

……

Suddenly, there was a patter of rain outside.

Ji Ruxuan was leaning against the railing under the veranda, a peregrine falcon flitted past the rain curtain and landed on his arm, flapping its wings lightly.

He took down the note, squinted his eyes, and glanced at the secret letter in his palm under the dim light in the corridor, put his fingers together, and crushed the secret letter into powder.

"It's getting cold," Ji Ruxuan looked at the pitch-black rain, "Ganoderma lucidum, red dates and black-bone chicken soup should be stewed."

Jiang Fuguang reviewed the confessions sent by Dali Temple one by one, sealed them with a seal, and suddenly felt a little cold in his body, and then he heard the sound of rain outside, and there was no sign of Ji Ruxuan in the room, and he didn't know where he had gone.

She was about to get up and close the window when she saw Ji Ruxuan pacing into the room carrying a food box.

"Is everything done?" He put the food box on the table, walked to the window and closed the row of windows to prevent her from catching cold.

"Tomorrow, the relevant case file will be sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to review the criminal name, which should further eliminate the remnants of the old faction buried in the court."

The Ministry of Punishment has the right to obtain the household registration of criminals from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The Ministry of Punishment will issue a criminal order to the local officials where the criminal's household registration is located, ordering the local officials to detain and interrogate the criminal's related persons one by one.

Whenever something inappropriate is found in the trial, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will investigate according to the clues.

There is a lot involved, and many people have nothing to hide.

Ji Ruxuan served a bowl of hot chicken soup: "It's getting cold, drink a bowl of chicken soup to warm up."

The chicken soup was light and nourishing, fresh and moist in the mouth, as soon as it entered his stomach, Jiang Fuguang felt warm all over his body, and the faint coolness lingering on his body dissipated.

"The case is too involved. It will take some time for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to verify the charges through the Yushitai. It will take at least one or two months, and at most three to five months."

The three courts tried all major cases, and the perpetrators were all important officials in the court.

Because the final charge is to be decided by the third division, His Majesty, so the third division dare not neglect, otherwise the case file will be sent to the next division, and if it is found to be incomplete and inaccurate, all participants in the previous division will have to He was regarded as a fellow party and dismissed for investigation.

Local officials are worried that they are the scapegoats of their superiors, so they will go all out to investigate. If local officials are involved in crimes, they will not be able to hide under the local screening.

Every time the three law departments conduct investigations together, there will be a big change of blood between the government and the opposition.

Ji Ruxuan filled another bowl of chicken soup and handed it to her: "Dali Temple has arrested a lot of members of the Marquis of Cheng'an family, and there are many remnants of the old sect among them. Did the interrogation yield anything?"

He felt that something was wrong, no matter how deep the old remnant party was lurking, with the downfall of Marquis Cheng An, it should surface.

"No progress," Jiang Fuguang shook his head with a solemn expression, "Dali Temple has indeed interrogated some remnants of the old sect, but most of them are marginal people who have not entered the core of the power. One of the most important people was Jia Zheng, the chief historian of the Marquis of Cheng'an, who died suddenly a few days ago. Dali Temple used lynching, but the real cause of death may be more than that, and there are no clues yet."

Ji Ruxuan tapped his knee lightly: "If I'm not wrong, these remnants of the old faction are protected by someone of high status in the court."

He closed his eyes, and information about the remnants of the old faction flashed in his mind one by one.

After a while, he opened his eyes: "Check in the clan."

Jiang Fuguang and him looked at each other, and the two had the same opinion: "After Jia Zheng's death, I was thinking, why do these remnants of the old sect lurk in the court and make trouble? Undetected? What the hell is driving them?"

"The eleven sons of the first emperor seized the throne. It was the grandfather who set things right and supported his father to become emperor. Later, the father used the power of the Taiwei Mansion to clean up the courtiers who supported other princes and participated in the seizure of the throne. These people are called the old school. The remnant party, what can drive them is not only the hatred of the father, but also the interests, and it is possible that the princes who seized the throne back then still have remnants of evil."

These remnants of the old faction secretly support this remnant, stir up trouble in the court, and create opportunities for this remnant to gain power.

After his father ascended the throne, he has always treated the clan's children well.

However, the clan of the Southern Dynasty was huge, so it was not easy to investigate.
