Be a master through ancient times

When Yu Ji hurried to the upper study room, there were already many people standing inside.Tianhedi was supposed to be recuperating, but at this moment he was dragging his sick body and sitting on it.

"My ministers see my father, long live, long live, long live!" All the ministers and the second prince were there, and Yu Ji was not as presumptuous as before, and obediently saluted.

But Tianhedi never called out, but looked at him with strange and regretful eyes, as if recognizing him for the first time.Yu Ji was a little terrified. After he knew the news that Yu Yushi hanged himself and died, he knew that something was wrong!

"Where were you last night?" Tianhedi asked in a deep voice.

Yu Ji knelt on the ground and replied: "I went back to King Jing's Mansion last night, and then I remembered the ten crimes that I slandered my son in the imperial court yesterday, so that my father was so angry that I was not angry. , and went to his house."

Seeing that he didn't choose to lie, Tianhedi relaxed the pressure on his heart a little, and continued to ask: "What did you tell him at his house? Tell the truth, and don't hide anything."

"My son... my son just asked him to help my son clarify the ten crimes. What he reported yesterday morning is basically nothing, my son is not convinced." Yu Ji said, feeling a little wronged in his heart, he admitted that he Yu is not very proficient in government affairs, and his temper is a bit flamboyant, but he will never admit that Yu Shi said that he is unfaithful, filial, fraternal, righteous, respectful, and thoughtless.

"That's all you said?"

Seeing that his face was very ugly, Yu Ji thought that he had found out about his intention to send someone to capture Yushi's grandson, so he confessed honestly.

"Your Majesty, the truth of this matter has come to light. If His Royal Highness King Jing didn't want to coerce him with his grandson, Yu Zhitong would not hang himself on the beam. I also ask His Majesty to give him justice. Otherwise, the officials will not dare to be unfair in the future. The matter has been spoken!" After he explained it, Yu Shi Zhongcheng immediately stepped forward excitedly, this incident was simply shocking to the people in Yu Shitai.

You must know that they have been talking about officials since ancient times.They never thought that one day they would be forced to come to their door and even endanger their families.If the eldest prince's actions are not severely punished today, there will probably be countless imitators later.

Tianhe Emperor's face changed greatly, and he also thought of the far-reaching impact this incident would have.That Yu Zhitong committed suicide by hanging himself last night. Early this morning, his servants rushed to the government to report the crime after they found out.In less than an hour, the whole story of this matter was spread, and now almost the entire capital is discussing this matter.

Tianhe Emperor would not believe that no one was behind the scenes to help the situation, but in the end, he could only blame Yuji for not being up to date. There are thousands of ways to solve this predicament, but he used the most stupid one.Sometimes both Tianhe Emperor wondered if he was the son of himself and the queen, could it be that bad bamboo came out of good bamboo?

Right now, the people in Yushitai in the study are aggressive, and those people outside the palace may also make some moves. If they can't give them a satisfactory solution, it may affect his majesty.

Tianhedi was thinking of a way, when his hip-stretching son actually spoke again.

"My lord Zuo, how can I blame this king for this matter? If it wasn't for his own guilty conscience, why did he seek death? Besides, his grandson, the king, was never caught at all. He was just afraid that he would lose face after clarifying the truth! "

This sentence is like lighting a fire on a haystack, and it burns with a bang.Several people from Yushitai took turns citing scriptures and allusions, which confused Yu Ji's mind.In the end, they cried bitterly and begged Tianhe Emperor to seek justice for Yu Yushi, otherwise they would resign.

Tianhe Emperor had a splitting headache, and suddenly remembered something: "Where is Dali Temple Minister Mu Yuanxiu?"

Yu Yushi's family member went to the county government to report the case, but this time the dead was a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, and the county government did not dare to take over, so it was reported directly to the Dali Temple Yamen.Because Mu Yuanxiu served as an imperial envoy last time and solved a major case, he was promoted two levels in a row, from Dali Temple Shaoqing to Dali Temple Qing.Although the position is only missing a word, the status is quite different. Without the immediate boss, the huge Dali Temple has become his hall of speech.In addition, he also has the right to go to the Chang Dynasty, and since then he has moved closer to the center of power.

But Mu Yuanxiu was not complacent. Most of the cases were investigated by himself. Just like today's case, although it was obvious that he hanged himself, he still went to the mansion to investigate and collect evidence in person.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.As soon as Emperor Tianhe finished speaking, a young eunuch came in from outside the door to announce that the Minister of Dali Temple had asked to see him and that he had important clues to report.

At this time, Emperor Tianhe urgently needed someone to come over and divert his attention, so he immediately asked him to send someone in.

The few from Yushitai still wanted to say more, but Zuo Yushi stopped them with his eyes. Anyway, this matter has to be dealt with today, and they are not in a hurry. If the persecution is too tight, the Holy Master may take anger on them.

Mu Yuanxiu came in soon, with a serious expression on his face. After saluting, he said, "Your Majesty, I have doubts about Yu Shi's case. I believe that he did not hang himself to death."

Everyone present was shocked. According to the scene described by Yu Shifu's servants, he clearly hanged himself. Why did Mu Yuanxiu jump out to object?He didn't hang himself, could it be that someone murdered him?

Tianhedi was also very surprised, he hurriedly asked: "Why did Aiqing say this? Come quickly!"

Mu Yuanxiu said: "My lord, it's like this. After I arrived at Yu Yushi's bedroom, I first checked the scene in the room. Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that I really hanged myself to death. But the minister checked Yu Yushi's bedroom. After some relics of the censor, he found a memorial he wrote last night in it. It was the content in it that made the minister suspicious, so he sent an assistant to conduct an autopsy, and finally found that Yu censor had died before hanging himself. died."

"Is this true?" Tianhedi said, "What is written in the memorial? It will be submitted soon."

Mu Yuanxiu took out the memorial from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Fuhai. After Emperor Tianhe took it, he summoned an Imperial scholar over and asked, "Wu Aiqing, take a look, is this Yu Aiqing's handwriting?"

Imperial scholars are responsible for sorting the memorials every day, and the memorials of impeachment presented by Yu Shitai are all sorted out by this Master Wu, who can almost recognize the handwriting of every Yu Shi.

The Master Wu took it and examined it carefully, then nodded solemnly, saying that it was indeed Yu Yushi's handwriting.

Emperor Tianhe took the memorial again, looked through the contents, and found that it was a letter of resignation.In it, Yu Yushi sincerely expressed his embarrassment, and hoped that Emperor Tianhe would allow him to resign and return to his hometown.

After reading it, Emperor Tianhe told the adults in the upper study room about the contents. After hearing this, they couldn't help feeling that there was indeed something wrong with Yu Yushi's death.How could a person who decided to hang himself write such a dictionary?

"What do you mean he died before hanging himself?" Tianhe Emperor asked.

Mu Yuanxiu arched his hands: "My Majesty, I sent someone to check Yu Yushi's body, and found that there were strangle marks on his neck and the hyoid bone on his neck was broken. Those who hanged themselves usually died from the Suffocation will not break the hyoid bone. Therefore, I deduce that Yu Yushi did not die by hanging himself, but was strangled to death and then hanged up."

Mu Yuanxiu's expression when he spoke was unquestionable, and the ministers present also had no doubts. They were no match for the people in Dali Temple in terms of investigation, and Mu Yuanxiu was always cold-faced and selfless, upright, so naturally he would not be judged by others. buy.

The originally clear case suddenly changed, and Yu Ji, who was suspected of driving Yu Yushi to death, finally felt elated. He stood up and said, "Father, now everyone understands that Yu Yushi was clearly murdered." Yes, I didn't kill him."

Seeing Yu Ji's triumphant look, Emperor Tianhe felt powerless for a while, and now he wants to stand out, is it because he is afraid that those people will not find the crime and blame him?

Sure enough, after asking the family members of the Yu family what happened last night, one of the family members insisted that there was no other movement except Yu Ji's door.In addition, their house was patrolled all night, the courtyard walls were high, and Yu Yushi's study was in the middle, so it was impossible for someone to break in and kill Yu Yushi silently under the heavy siege.

So everyone's eyes turned to Yu Ji again. Could it be that he became angry after threatening him, and killed Yu Yushi without stopping, and then pretended to hang himself?

Not waiting for Yu Ji to get angry, Mu Yuanxiu asked the servant: "After His Royal Highness King Jing left, have any of you seen Yu Yushi?"

A servant said: "I have seen it before. After the guests left, the master ordered the villain to make a pot of tea and bring it in. When the villain went to deliver the tea, the master was still alive and well, sitting at the desk and writing something."

This sentence basically proved Yu Ji's innocence, and the case instantly changed from being committed by an outsider to being committed by someone in the government.

"Mu Aiqing, I will leave this case to you. I hope you can find out the real culprit as soon as possible, and give justice to Yu Shi!" Tianhe Emperor felt a little better, and after praising Mu Yuanxiu, he sent The case was entrusted to him.

At this time, someone from Yushitai stood up and said: "Although the suspicion of His Royal Highness King Jing has been temporarily cleared, it is true that he came to the door to threaten Yushi with his relatives. I hope that the Holy Majesty will deal with it fairly."

Emperor Tianhe stared at him until his forehead was sweating, then he looked away, and said coldly: "Hu Yushi is right, how about this, if the case is not solved for a day, King Jing will not leave the palace. It is necessary to copy an article of the national law at home every day, as a warning to others."

After the people at Yushitai heard this, they reluctantly gave up.Then, Emperor Tianhe asked everyone else to leave on the grounds of physical fatigue, leaving only Yu Ji here.

"Are you aware of your mistake?"

"What's wrong with my son?" Knowing that Yu Yushi didn't die because of him, Yu Ji's temper returned, "It's just that he slandered my son before him, but he just said a few words to him. Blame me?"

"Shut up! You bastard! Do you know that if Mu Aiqing didn't see the details today, you would probably be condemned by the entire capital at this moment. Let alone becoming a prince, it would be difficult to keep your status as a prince!"

How can such a scandal happen to the king of a country after entering the courtier's house at night to threaten him and then causing his death?If Emperor Tianhe still wants to make him the crown prince, I'm afraid he will bear the infamy of being a faint king!

"Now, you should pray that Mu Aiqing can solve the case as soon as possible and return your innocence. Otherwise, everyone will still think you are the murderer. At that time, you will stay in Prince Jing's Mansion for the rest of your life!"

Hearing what he said, Yu Ji finally realized the seriousness of the matter.He originally thought that as long as he proved that he didn't kill the person, it would be fine.Thinking of this, he regretted that he had listened to the queen's words yesterday and went to the censor's house to threaten him.

"Still go back to Prince Jing's Mansion?"

After Yu Ji left, Tianhedi, who had been supporting himself, coughed violently. Zhang Fuhai patted his back for him while handing him the tea on the table.

After taking a sip of the herbal tea, Tianhedi felt relieved. He stared blankly at the door and asked, "Zhang Fuhai, do you think I have spoiled Ji'er for so many years with the empress? Perhaps, I should Reconsider making him the crown prince."

Zhang Fuhai kept silent like a cicada, he only thought that he was a deaf person, how can someone like him put his beak on the establishment of a reserve?
