After instructing Xuan Xi to find Gongsun, Chen Yutian left the palace directly and came to Taigong Mansion to look for Yuan Lin.
As soon as Yuan Lin saw Chen Yutian, he immediately asked him to sit down, with a hint of anxiety in his expression, "It would be great if you came. I originally planned to send someone directly to invite you over?"
Chen Yutian saw the anxious look on his face and asked curiously: "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"
Yuan Lin smiled eagerly, "Oh... the sycophant is in power, how can I not be anxious?"
Chen Yutian raised his eyebrows slightly, "What happened? Did the Imperial Master persuade His Majesty to do something bad again?"
Yuan Lin sighed and nodded bitterly.
"Yes, just now in the court, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he proposed that the Ninth Princess be executed in front of the people of the country, in order to quell the rising public anger."
Chen Yutian's expression suddenly changed! !
"What did you say? He actually said such a thing?"
Yuan Lin smiled bitterly, "It's ridiculous, right? But it is indeed true, and His Majesty has already agreed to his proposal."
Chen Yu Tianmu was even more shocked! !
Jie Li would actually agree to such a proposal?
Lang Yue is his daughter, he would actually agree to this proposal to execute his daughter?
This is too heartless! !
"To use a common saying from the Central Plains, the poison of a tiger is not enough to eat its seeds, but your majesty would agree to this method of killing his own flesh and blood. Alas... I really don't know, what on earth is your majesty thinking?"
Yuan Lin sighed dejectedly, his tone full of despair.
Chen Yutian's eyes flickered slightly and he looked at Yuan Lin, "Can you tell me the details of what happened?"
Yuan Lin nodded and started talking about the scene that just happened in the court.
…
…
This morning, because what happened in the palace the night before yesterday had been spread to everyone, and the folk rumors were spread under the deliberate guidance of thoughtful people, misinterpreting and vilifying the Ninth Princess Lang Yue and her daughter as the birth of fox demons, resulting in The people in the entire capital of the barbarian kingdom were in a state of excitement, each one clamoring for the execution of the fox demon, and there was even a huge wave of public outrage.
Jieli sought advice from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty on how to quell this public anger.
No one said anything at first. After all, this was Khan's family matter and it was not easy to interfere.
However, Jieli seemed to insist on asking a reason from the ministers, so he kept asking questions. In the end, as the head of civil servants and one of the three prime ministers, the Prime Minister had to go out and start the memorial.
"Your Majesty, the root cause of this matter is still the unresolved murder of the two princes. If the cause of death of the two princes can be found out, the murderer is arrested and brought to justice, and the matter is made public, the people will understand what happened. In this way, the fox demon's remarks will be self-defeating, and the public's anger will naturally subside."
Hearing this, the eyes of all the civil and military officials present lit up! !
The Prime Minister's proposal can be said to be the best choice.
"What the Prime Minister said is true. In my opinion, this is the best way to resolve the matter." Taigong said.
All the ministers also agreed.
But at this moment, the national master made a different sound.
"No, no. The Prime Minister's words seem reasonable and well-founded, but I cannot agree with it."
The Prime Minister frowned slightly, "Oh? I wonder what the Prime Minister meant by this?"
The Imperial Preceptor said: "Prime Minister, I would like to ask you a question. You said you wanted to catch the real culprit who killed the two princes and make the matter public. However, the fox demon that the people wanted to execute was actually the real culprit in this case. The evil concubine, and now she is missing, how can we bring her to justice? Or does the Prime Minister already know where the evil concubine is hiding? "
As soon as he said these words, almost everyone in the court suddenly changed their expressions involuntarily!
The Prime Minister was even more angry! !
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "What does the Imperial Master mean by this?"
"I have no other intention. I hope the Prime Minister will not think too much." The Imperial Master smiled lightly, "I just want to tell the Prime Minister that your method is somewhat unrealistic."
The Prime Minister's expression turned slightly gloomy, "Oh? So, I wonder if the Prime Minister has any clever ideas?"
The Imperial Master smiled and said: "Well, I do have a clever plan, but it depends on Your Majesty whether you dare to use it or not."
As he spoke, he looked at Jie Li who was sitting high on the throne.
Jieli's mouth curved slightly in a cold arc, and his old and cloudy eyes burst into glory.
"Since the Imperial Master said this, I, the King, would like to hear what kind of clever plan you have in mind."
The Imperial Master smiled and said: "My clever plan is very simple, that is... to execute the Ninth Princess to death in public!!"
"What? Your Majesty, you can't do it, you absolutely can't!!"
The moment the Imperial Master's words fell to the ground, Yuan Lin immediately objected!
Not only him, but also the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister, as well as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, all spoke out against it.
There were no obvious mood swings on Jie Li's face. He just looked at the Imperial Master and said softly, "Quiet!!"
Everyone shut up immediately!
"You should know that no matter what, Lang Yue is also the daughter of this Khan, right?" Jie Li looked at the Imperial Master and spoke calmly.
The Imperial Master nodded, "Of course."
Jie Li suddenly laughed, "There is an old saying in the Central Plains that a tiger is poisonous but cannot eat its seeds. Do you think this Khan is more vicious than that tiger?"
The Imperial Master smiled and said: "Of course not, because Your Majesty is a wolf, not a tiger. In our Central Plains, wolves are the most cold-blooded animals. Besides, my proposal is not to ask Your Majesty to actually execute the Ninth Princess, but I want to use this to lure out the hidden sinful concubine!"
Jieli raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"
The Imperial Master continued: "The guilty concubine has a deep love for the Ninth Princess and her son. If she learns that the Ninth Princess will be executed in public, she will definitely go to the execution ground to rob people. In this way, we can arrest her."
Jie Li's expression did not change at all, he just sat on the throne and looked at the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master also looked at him and suddenly said, "We can even use this move to lure out the remnants of the Fox Clan's rebels who have been hiding for many years."
After hearing this, the expression on Jie Li's face finally changed.
The Prime Minister took a deep breath and said, "Excuse me, I wonder if this matter has anything to do with the Fox Clan's rebellion?"
The National Preceptor turned back to look at the Prime Minister, "Don't you know, the Prime Minister? According to the investigation of the National Preceptor, Hu Tian, the leader of the Fox Clan, had an affair with a Central Plains woman. This woman secretly gave birth to a daughter in the Central Plains, and this girl, According to the investigation, there is no doubt that it is the guilty concubine!!"
"What? Is this serious?"
All civil and military officials in the court were shocked at the same time! !
If Concubine Ling is really the daughter of the former Fox clan leader, then things may not be that simple.
The Prime Minister pondered for a moment and looked at the Imperial Preceptor, "Is there any evidence to prove what the Imperial Preceptor said?"
The Imperial Preceptor sneered, "Of course I have the evidence, but I have already reported this matter to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's judgment should still be trustworthy, right?"
The Prime Minister was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the Imperial Preceptor would use Jie Li to suppress him. He could only look at the Imperial Preceptor with a gloomy expression.
"It's natural."
After saying that, the Prime Minister looked at Jie Li helplessly.
The civil and military ministers in the court also looked at him.
By this time, everyone could see that the decision-making power on this matter rested with His Majesty the Khan.
Jieli took a deep breath, glanced at each minister's face, and then slowly spoke.
"Pass this to me, five days later, in the Royal City Square, the Ninth Princess will be executed for public display!!"
Buzz!
As soon as Jie Li finished speaking, Yuan Lin felt his head buzzing! !
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Please take back your Majesty's orders!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you will behead your son for public display. Our country has never had such an incident since its founding. If it spreads to the ears of other countries or the people of the Central Plains, it will simply make people laugh. I beg your Majesty to take back the execution!!"
The Prime Minister also knelt down resolutely!
The Prime Minister looked at the two of them, then at Jie Li's firm eyes, and sighed slightly.
"Your Majesty, I also ask your Majesty to take back your order! This matter cannot be done!"
Seeing the three ministers kneeling down one after another, Jie Li did not show any emotion in his eyes, but said forcefully, "I have made up my mind on this matter, and anyone who stands in the way will be punished as the remnants of traitors to the party!!"
After that, he suddenly shook his sleeves and left...
The three veterans, the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister and Yuan Lin, knelt in the main hall and looked at each other.
The court quickly became quiet.
Because all the civil and military officials of the dynasty left one after another.
In the end, only three people were left in the entire court.
And a sigh full of despair...
…
…
"So, we only have five days at most." Chen Yutian frowned slightly.
In five days, it is indeed difficult to detect the truth behind the murder of the two princes and apprehend the real culprit in such a short period of time! !
