This kind of difference not only made the Holy Emperor more interested, but also Eunuch Cao looked at Xu Jian twice.
"What did Shao'er say?" the saint asked.
Xu Jian told everything Li Shao said.
This time, there was no over-summarization, no deliberate addition or omission of modal words, and the situation of Li Shao yesterday was presented to 80% to 90%.
After hearing this, the Holy Master relaxed a little and sighed: "He regretted it, but he may not be able to do it again."
Xu Jian did not answer this sentence.
The Holy Master did not wait for Xu Jian to speak, and continued: "I can understand what you told me a while ago, but I just don't know when Shao'er will cause trouble again. I'm watching too closely. If it's too loose, it won't be suitable. This one has a certain degree of relaxation, which is easier said than done."
Xu Jian smiled softly and said, "You are different from me. At that time, you advised me not to think too much and to relax when you have to go to office. I did so because I am just a minister, but you are His Highness. Your royal father is the sage of the world, so when you treat His Highness, you don’t have anything to say like a subordinate."
These few words fell into His Majesty's heart.
The Holy One sighed again: "I am also reflecting on whether I, as a father, have not done a good enough job. Yes, it was a trap, just to plot against Shao'er, but Shao'er was plotted and he left on his own. Go in, he is drunk and sleeping with women, he is not innocent at all. I have never taught him to behave like this, neither did Sangu, nor did you, but he chose to learn this..."
Xu Jian glanced at the Holy Emperor quickly, trying to figure out his thoughts, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face.
The Holy Master saw it with sharp eyes and asked, "There are no outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Some information came out when interrogating His Highness's bodyguards," Xu Jian pursed her lower lip, "At the beginning of the year, Liu Xun thought he had correctly guessed His Highness's preferences, so he made some nonsense with two of His Highness's bodyguards.
There was a guard who had no brains and was interested in robbing people. When His Highness found out, he lost his temper and even Liu Xun got kicked twice.
From this point of view, although His Highness does not taboo anything in matters between men and women, he really does not get confused or do anything messy. "
The Holy Master's face darkened: "Why didn't Shan Shen mention this?"
"The evidence is unclear," Xu Jian said this, not wanting to cause trouble to Mr. Shan, let alone involve Lin Yunyan and the Jin family girl. "The guard seems to have some grudges with Liu Xun, and the guard with a bad mind has long been There was no trace of it, and Liu Xun completely denied it.
Mr. Shan will definitely not mention anything without evidence in the morning.
When Chen Hui mentioned it, I was just thinking that of course I couldn't believe everything the guard said. Liu Xun denied everything. It was possible that he mentioned it casually or because he was disgusted.
But at least His Highness can still tell the difference.
He was caught red-handed this time, no doubt because the layout was too deep, and he didn't understand it himself, making one wrong step and one wrong step. "
After hearing this, the Holy Father did not pursue the past, but only looked at Xu Jian deeply: "I heard what you mean, do you want to plead for Shao'er?"
Xu Jian lowered his head slightly.
Those black hands are not so easy to find.
Even if they guessed King Jin's head, they still had to let Li Shao set the target.
According to the Holy Spirit's will, Li Shao will step out of the East Palace sooner or later, so it is better for him to get Li Shao two more at this moment.
When the situation is unclear, facing the prince is the best way to distance yourself.
After all, it was Xu Jian himself who made Li Shao go to Chenmi Hutong in a strange way the night before.
As if he had thought deeply about it, Xu Jian raised his head again, with a much more serious expression: "Your Majesty, do you want to depose the prince?"
Eunuch Cao took the teapot to add tea to the Holy One. When he heard this, his hands shook and he almost spilled it.
He glanced at Xu Jian in shock.
Before he came in, he was quite reassured by the Duke Fu. Unexpectedly, the young Duke suddenly gave him a hard blow.
Hesitating whether to file a lawsuit against Xu Jian for a few looks, Eunuch Cao heard the Holy Father speak.
The Holy Sage's tone was very calm, word for word: "Some people want to
My thoughts about deposing the prince are written all over my face. "
The Holy Spirit did not name who it was specifically.
"The prince made a mistake, but not to that extent," Xu Jian said, then added, "That's not a good idea either."
The Holy One glanced at Xu Jian again and signaled him to just keep talking.
Xu Jian reorganized his thoughts.
Then, he said a few words and paused, looking like he was thinking over and over again.
Don't be impatient, be reasonable and well-founded.
"In this morning's court, there are indeed many people pretending to be confused, pretending to understand."
"It's inevitable, everyone has their own thoughts."
"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a conspiracy. If even your most beloved Crown Prince will be given up when being plotted like this, what about the other princes?"
"It's not easy to scheme against people, and it's even more difficult to do it flawlessly and escape unscathed. But as long as someone succeeds once, others will follow suit."
"We are all seniors who have been working hard in court for decades. The most important thing they lack is self-confidence. If others can do it, can't I?"
"The threshold is too low and the benefits are so huge, who wouldn't hesitate to take a gamble?"
"At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your little royal highnesses to grow up safely. Even if they do grow up, they will still be in panic."
"Although everyone in the royal family has to go through this, you can't bear to do it."
"You dote on His Highness the Crown Prince, but the other Highnesses are also your royal sons."
Xu Jian finished.
The Holy One was silent for a long time.
He had never thought about deposing the crown prince. It was true that he preferred Shao'er. At the same time, what Xu Jian said was not unexpected to him.
The relationship between the prince and the court, whether it is establishing or abolishing, is not a simple matter.
Once it is not handled properly, there will be a series of troubles later.
At the same time, the Holy One also knew that at Xu Jian's age he could understand the truth, and it was even more impossible for those old foxes to not understand.
Indeed, everyone is pretending to be confused and seeking their own interests.
Speaking openly and honestly about this issue, the Holy One simply said to Xu: "Shaoer made a mistake and has to be punished. I really hope he can learn from it and gain wisdom.
I can give him a lot, but I can't give him too much regardless. As you said, I am not only his father, I am also the sage of the world.
He doesn't make any progress, and I feel the most sad.
This time, I can suppress it for him, but next time he will be plotted like this, or will he not be able to handle it himself?
Moreover, as you have seen clearly today, simply confining yourself may not be enough, unless Shan Qing and the others can find out the person behind the plot. "
Xu Jian said: "Judging from the current progress, it will be difficult to catch people. Moreover, there is a dancer who is not in good condition. She may..."
The Holy Master raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.
After laying the groundwork for a long time, Xu Jian saw the opportunity: "I have something to do..."
"Speak directly." The Holy Master said hoarsely.
"Did the men you sent to Jiangzhou find the bones?" Xu Jian asked.
The Holy Emperor suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xu Jian solemnly: "Why do you ask this?"
Xu Jian was not afraid and spoke very sincerely: "The one who led Mr. Shan and others to Chenmi Hutong this time was the monk Daoheng. Whether he is from Li Mi or has another identity, only he knows.
But from the outside, he and Wang Liuliu had a close relationship, and they were both Li Mi's old subordinates.
If the real culprit cannot be found, can the matter be blamed on Li Mi? "
The Holy Spirit thought for a long time and said: "Li Mi is dead. The bones outside Jiangzhou City are his. He was born with six fingers on his right foot. It is not easy to fake it."
"So," Xu Jian pretended to think, "is someone acting under Li Mi's banner?"
The Holy One chuckled.
As a brother, he understood Li Mi to some extent.
Li Mi is an impatient man, like a pile of dry straw. If a spark falls into it, it will crackle and explode.
At that time, he was a pioneer in exchanging refugees for merit, and he was also a pioneer in questioning Li Cang. If he had not been at the forefront, he would not have been demoted to a commoner by the late emperor.
Perhaps, that kind of experience from heaven to earth would make Li Mi change his temper, but if his impulsive temperament could allow Zhu Chang to serve, the emperor had always had doubts.
As for Wang Liuliu’s mouth...
True and false are mixed together, and the muddy water becomes more and more chaotic.
While thinking about it, the Holy Father looked at Xu Jian again.
Most of his previous speculations were about the concubine's maternal family with ulterior motives, but when Xu Jian mentioned it, he opened up a new idea.
"What specific ideas do you have in mind?" he asked.
"I want to..." Xu Jian thought about this "thinking" for almost half a quarter of an hour.
The Holy Spirit didn't push him, he himself had a lot of ideas to sort out.
After Xu Jian finished pretending to think, he said: "Jin Brick, do you still remember the two boxes of gold bricks in Wang's six-year confession?
No one knows where the gold bricks went. What if they appeared in Chenmi Hutong?
For the real black hand, disrupting his arrangements may allow him to respond actively. Once he becomes active, flaws will be exposed.
As for other people with ulterior motives, once they find out that they are not only competing with the prince, but also with other young royal highnesses, and even plotting with your brother, they will be more or less jealous.
Once the prince falls, they fight to the end for the little royal highnesses they support, but your brother picks the peach...
I want to mislead them here. No one likes to make wedding clothes for others. "
The Holy One listened attentively.
In his opinion, Xu Jian's idea was quite interesting.
Although there are some imperfections, it is already pretty good to be able to sort this out in just half a quarter of an hour.
Of course, it is also possible that he came prepared and just hid his clumsiness here.
The Holy Spirit does not reject this.
When monarchs and ministers get along, no matter how frank they are, they will also have a certain degree of restraint.
Compared to the aggressive and impatient veterans, Xu Jian at least stood firmer.
Xu Jian is not involved with the concubines, but is more familiar with Shao'er.
Although Xu Jian's leg injury was caused by Shao Er, the Holy Master looked at Xu Jian's temperament and would not be dissatisfied with Shao Er because of this.
Xu Jian married Ning An again.
Xu Jian, there is no reason to be dissatisfied.
The Holy Spirit thought a lot and said: "There are two boxes of gold bricks in the palace, but taking them out would make too much noise."
That weight is really hard to move without a few people.
It is not easy to place two boxes of gold bricks in the house without being noticed.
Not to mention that Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen were watching the house at the moment, but so were everyone else.
"Only two or three yuan?" Xu Jian asked, "Can it make people think of Li Guitou at once?"
He asked knowingly.
He knew that there were traces on Li Mi's gold bricks, which was also a clue that they could determine the origin of the gold bricks at that time.
But he had to pretend not to know and let the Holy Spirit come up to make up for it.
The Holy Master recalled it for a while, then drew a stroke on the paper and showed it to Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao nodded: "Like."
The Holy Master then gave the paper to Xu Jian again: "Li Mi has a habit of signing his name. If there is such a trace left on the gold brick, it can be pushed to him."
Xu Jian suddenly realized it and looked troubled again.
Gold is hard, so it is not easy to carve the same mark after the gold brick is formed.
Unless it remains on the mold, it is melted and recast.
"Time is tight," he said, "Recasting takes time."
The Holy Sage asked: "Is there any goldsmith with excellent skills?"
"I have inquired about it," Xu Jian said honestly without blushing, "I wanted to buy some jewelry as a gift for the princess, so I sent people to various gold shops in the city, but most of them were doing delicate work of making women's jewelry... …”
The Holy One made the final decision: "Choose a suitable person. It's too late to recast it. Let's try carving one or two pieces. You can get a score of 70-80%."
Like, you can handle it. You can handle it privately and hide it from Shan Qing and Wan Qing first. "
Xu Jian was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed, and then said: "I have one more thing to do. Liu Xun acted improperly and led the prince astray. He..."
The Holy Master frowned.
He didn't believe that Xu Jian would be so stupid that he would even help Liu Xun.
"He deserves it, and Mr. Liu cannot escape accountability," Xu Jian said respectfully, "It's just Mr. Liu's wife and daughter. I want to ask for a favor."
The Holy Spirit was noncommittal.
Xu Jian stood up and bowed: "The princess lost her mother when she was young. Even if we are not close and the relationship is a bit complicated, I still hope to have such an identity there."
He had to let the Holy One see his selfishness.
He was just sharing worries and solving problems, just looking for solutions for Li Shao. He, who was accustomed to having fun, seemed too active even if he was asked to go to Shuntian Mansion to assist in the investigation.
Only selfishness can support his positivity.
The Holy One closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
The word mother is so heavy.
This is what he and Shaoer owe Ning An.
Furthermore, as the king of a country, he does not like to "leave no one behind in his family" at every turn.
Besides, it doesn't make sense that he used Li Mi to suppress Shao'er but showed no mercy to the Liu family.
It was rare for Xu Jian to ask for help, or in other words, it was rare for him to have his own selfish motives.
"You have a weak mouth but a soft heart." The Holy Lord raised his hand and nodded Xu Jian. "It's for peace and safety, but you can't ignore your biological mother. I know it well."
Xu Jian thanked him.
With the word "汨" written by the Holy Master himself, Xu Jian left the imperial study.
Eunuch Cao took two gold bricks to Xu Jian privately.
Xu Jian accepted it, sent it to a trustworthy gold shop, and found a master to carve it on and try it out.
The old master was busy until the afternoon and didn't even bother to eat lunch. He relied on his superb craftsmanship to deliver the goods.
Xu Jian looked at the light carefully.
It can't compare to the real thing in his hand, but for people who have never seen the real thing, it can look real for a while.
