"How to die?" Duan Chengxuan's brow was tight, his face was taut, his lips were in a straight line, and his eyes were sharply swept to the servant of the criminal department. His brow raised a little, and he scolded him with some dignity: "when can such an important prisoner die in prison easily?"
"It's quite a strange thing..." said the Minister of the criminal department, sweating all at once
"What's wrong?" Duan Chengxuan's voice was not high, but when his eyes fell on the servant of the Ministry of punishment, the latter quickly lowered his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He trembled and said: "that kid would not tell who he came from. He just kept saying that he found these poisons from the backyard of Dongfang mansion..."
"It's hard not to say that my Dongfang family will plot against you adults!" Dongfang surname on one side hurriedly stepped forward and stared angrily. The two old ministers behind hurriedly stopped the young and vigorous Dongfang surname and dissuaded him in a low voice.
"I didn't mean that, but he said so. I should do my job according to the principle and investigate the matter clearly. But I haven't sent someone to report it to Dongfang mansion, so the guards in the prison rushed over and said that the boy's head was cut off. When I hurried away, I was only left with a body and my head couldn't be found, which delayed..." The servant of the criminal department was so anxious that he could kill people in the prison, which was also due to his improper management.
It's a pity that the Dongfang family hasn't opened his mouth this time, but Duan Chengxuan raised his hand and took a memorial from the table case, saying: "the people who poisoned the Imperial Palace haven't been found. This event happened on the birthday of the Dongfang family, the empress's mother's home. Now the prison takes the head of that mortal. Where do you think this man is hiding in the imperial court?"
When the voice fell, all the ministers knelt down, sweating like rain.
Duan Chengxuan's words are so straightforward, which is not to say that some of them must be doing it. But in the peaceful times, Yanjiang Erdan has handed in the book of seeking peace. They have no ambition to do such things, so they have to cry out one by one to explain themselves to Duan Chengxuan, but they can't help but doubt the people around them.
Dongfang didn't dare to continue to ask. After all, the man said that the poison was in his backyard, and then he died. So it's not a small suspicion for his family.
Some of today's major issues have been solved by Cao Cao. Duan Chengxuan waved his hand, and when several important officials left, he said: "you can polish your eyes, and don't be lost."
Several ministers saluted and left one after another, but in their hearts they had their own plans.
When Duan Cong was in power, he was a emperor of Ming Dynasty. When he heard the words of their old ministers, Duan Chengxuan had his own way of doing things. If he was loyal and rebellious, he would listen. But if you talked about it with a little bit of selfishness, even if there were a few heads in front of Duan Chengxuan that were not enough.
When Meng Xu left, he was still slightly distracted. The servant of the punishment Department hurriedly came to him: "Lord Meng."
"Mr. Li." Meng Xu bowed a little. He was a scholar. Even though he was in a high position at this time, he was always respectful to these old ministers. This made the Chamberlain of the Ministry of punishment change his view on him. He said: "about this Oriental mansion, Lord Meng thought..."
"Your Highness Prince Jing has his own decision." Meng Xu's eyes fell behind Dongfang Shi's, and the servant of the Ministry of punishment immediately understood the meaning of this -- it was not up to him to manage it.
"Thank you very much, Lord Meng."
Meng Xu just smiled and watched Mr. Li leave. The little eunuch who was not far away came to him and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing said that he hoped that Mr. Meng would be more interested in this matter. In addition, he also bothered Mr. Meng about the reception of envoys from Yanjiang these days."
Meng Xu frowned slightly. It was not his turn to do these unimportant things.
If you change to another minister, the first reflection is that Duan Chengxuan wants to divest his rights. In Meng Xu's eyes, Duan Chengxuan wants to do something else, but he doesn't want him to participate in it. He nods and agrees.
But this means that he should go to Gu Mingyan.
"Please tell Prince Jing that I will go to the post house."
The little eunuch watched Meng Xu leave and turned back to the Royal book room. At this time, Duan Cong, who was dressed in a Dragon Robe, was sitting at the desk before discussing the important affairs of canglan with Duan Chengxuan. Seeing the little eunuch come in to convey Meng Xu's words, Duan Cong raised his eyebrow: "Chengxuan, are you going to cut his official post?"
"The forces around mengxu and Dongfang family are not small. In addition, Xu family, the former empress, has asked for benefits at this time. The poisoner behind this is definitely one side. Only by breaking the balance of these three sides can the person behind this show his hands and feet." Duan Chengxuan, holding the official document in his hand, instead picked up his eyebrow and looked at Duan Cong: "the emissary of Erdan has already gone, so Gu Mingyan does not know whether yunwan is still in Tianyan city."
"You're afraid she won't come back by herself?" Duan Cong then looked at Duan Chengxuan's expression: "compared with this, you are too close to that jade girl these days. Is it empathy or not?"
"Although she is somewhat similar to Gu Mingyan, she is more clever." Said here, Duan Chengxuan can't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "what's more, she has a pure family background, and it's safe to put it beside me."
Duan Cong looked at him strangely and said, "it's said that Yu's girl was born with a special ability. That day she said that you didn't match Dongfang Xuaner. This is..."
"Not only her, but also Yuzhi's calculation." Duan Chengxuan shook his head: "as far as it is concerned, the power of Dongfang family is too great. Even though the queen of Dongfang has no big mistake now, her family members are a little more aggressive. When talking about state affairs, they even want to get a reply from me. It's too presumptuous."
Nodding with satisfaction, Duan Cong asked again, "so, your choice for Princess Jing..."
"It's better to keep it empty so that those people have a chance to make a fool of themselves." Duan Chengxuan stood up and said, "the more I like Yuqing, the people behind me will surely find a way to fight against her, so it's much easier to find the people behind me."
Duan Cong's eyes narrowed, and he began to test with some words: "do you use Yuqing as a shield? Is not afraid to offend Yu's woman and bring disaster? "
"Where in the world is the person who has the ability? Now Jiang Yan is replaced by Yanjiang. Yu family is now a fish and a human being. On the contrary, just because of this ability, they can only be traded by others. How can they cause disaster if they are so controlled by others?" Duan Chengxuan threw the official document in the hand of the eunuch and walked out.
Looking at his brother's back, Duan Cong's eyes flashed a cold light. He tapped his fingertips on the handrail and asked Huang Gonggong, "this throne is more consistent with him."
