Chapter 316

Meng Qing was willing to exonerate her from the crime of Du Heng, but he could not do so obviously.

although the emperor entrusted the case to him, Meng Qing knew that the emperor still trusted Xie Qian more.

If he dares to speak openly for Du Juan, he will certainly annoy the emperor!

He wants to do something, he can only do it in secret

In the early days of this day, the emperor seemed to think of it all of a sudden and asked, "Meng Qing, didn't you investigate the case a few days ago? How come we haven't got a result after all these days? "

These days, Du Shangshu has been suing his illness at home, and none of the ministers of the Shangshu department mentioned it. If he hadn't seen Lin radial in the morning, the emperor would have forgotten the case.

Meng Qing stepped forward and said in a respectful voice, "Your Majesty, there are still doubts in this case, and I am still investigating."

His sober and dignified youth's clothes had not covered him up.

But that face side, still did not show the firm line after growing up.

The emperor looked at Meng Qing and the first prince had seven points of similar appearance. He had a little tolerance for him, and said with a smile: "how can we not finish investigating simple and simple cases. It's a long way from your father. "

On the main hall, only the emperor dared to mention the first Prince without scruple.

Meng Qing saw that he mentioned his father. His serious look on his face also relaxed a little. He shook his head and said, "Meng Qing is incompetent. Your majesty is disappointed."

The emperor said with a smile, "I don't know what's the important thing. It's time to take advantage of the early days when all the civil and military officials are here, so you can talk about it and ask for your advice. "

Mengqing answers.

He looked at the civil and military officials, immediately frowned and said: "this case is not complicated, there are also Confessions of the people involved in the case. But I still have a doubt. "

Everyone was listening with bated breath, and Xie Qian was no exception.

Meng Qinglang said: "the person who identified the eldest lady of Du's family is a descendant of Miss Du's mother's family. In the past week, his testimony should have no problem. However, the whole family can ask that they have never had any contact with Miss Du this week, and miss Du has made it clear again and again that she does not recognize any Zhou

After listening to him, everyone in the hall has understood. It seems that the little prince is going to make trouble for Xie Qian.

Sure enough, seeing Meng Qing looking at Xie Qian, he asked with a smile: "where did Xie find such a servant of Zhou's house, and how did he torture and extort a confession so that an illiterate servant could draw a pledge on his testimony?"

Xie Qian was so heckled by him. His eyebrows did not move. His tone was as usual. He said: "Zhou Lai has already done harm to people, and he has already been proved. How can he be fake if he admits to being instructed by Miss Du?"

Meng Qing shook his head with a smile: "no, it's not. As far as I know, Miss Du has never had any contact with the victim Yang Xin. What's the reason for sending a servant of her mother's family to murder a stranger she has never seen before

Xie Qian glanced at him faintly and asked, "where did you know that Miss Du didn't know Yang Xinsu?"

Meng Qing said: "of course, after some investigation."

Xie Qian shook his head. His voice remained the same. He said indifferently, "the little prince is holding the testimony, but he won't believe it. He just went to investigate the relationship between Miss Du's family and Yang's family. Who doesn't know that he has made a mistake of partial listening and partial believing?"

Xie Qian was once a companion of the first prince. He was also watching Meng Qing grow up. He loved him very much. Meng Qing also respected Xie Qian very much.

But the world is changing, who did not expect that the two should have such a tit for tat moment in the court.

Meng Qing took the lead to step back, and said: "thank you for teaching me a lot. It's Meng Qing who is not well considered."

The emperor knew that they had a good relationship before, but now they were gradually estranged.

In his heart, he didn't want his nephew and his most trusted courtiers to be estranged and defensive. He became a peacemaker and said, "if you know that you are not doing well, you should learn more from others. You used to call master Xie Qian when you were young, but now you are old, and you refuse to call? It's not like putting the case to rest like this. "

Meng Qing Gong's voice should come down: "yes."

There was a cordial atmosphere above the hall, but the undercurrent below could not be seen.

The next day, Meng Qing's memorial was handed to the emperor's book case.

The emperor opened the memorial and praised the words of Mengqing to Da Gonggong. There was the style of the first prince. But after reading the content of the memorial, his eyebrows wrinkled and there was no words for a long time.

Da Gonggong observed the emperor's face and asked with a smile, "what's the matter with the emperor? Isn't it that the little prince's handwriting is good? "

The emperor put the memorial on the table, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Meng Qing, the word was taught by Xie Qian. But in the twinkling of an eye, so many years have passed... "

Duke Da wisely added a chrysanthemum tea to the emperor, and said with a smile, "don't talk about the daily management, at least there are thousands of opportunities in the court. If you want the emperor to worry about everything, I'm afraid it's time to grow old. "The emperor said with a smile, "you smelly thing, how can I be old before I am old?"

Da Gonggong also said with a smile: "you are worried about the bad relationship between Xiao Wangye and Xie. If they get along well one day, like teachers and friends, you will be distressed again. It can be seen that the troubles in this world are endless. "

After hearing this, the emperor turned his head and looked at father-in-law da. He was surprised and said, "you are so quiet that you still have such insight. It really makes me look at you with new eyes."

The smile on Da Gonggong's face became deeper: "following the emperor, you are stupid like a pig or a dog. You can always learn a little wisdom from you."

This sentence made the emperor laugh.

After laughing, he picked up Meng Qing's Memorial and looked at it again. Then he sighed, "what you said is not bad. I can't see their quarrel or their good relationship. It's a relationship that's neither hot nor cold. It's the best. "

Mr. Dagong knows that he has almost said it. If we go on, it will be dangerous.

He closed his mouth and listened to the emperor's chatter: "look at Meng Qing. He said" respect and thank you ". Listen to me, he turned around and found a scapegoat for the girl of the Du family. I don't know what's in his head. "

Da Gonggong saw that the emperor had the intention to talk to him, so he said strangely: "the case of the little prince is finished?"

The emperor sighed, "isn't it! The boy pushed out a commoner girl of the Du family. Her name was Du Wu. She said that her sister hated her sister and spent a lot of money to summon a servant of the Zhou family to frame her up. "

Duke Da said with a smile, "emperor, maybe it's true. It's hard to guess the woman's mind in the back room. "

The emperor glanced at him, shook his head and said, "is it true or false? Can I not tell? It's just that I don't know what the hell Meng Qing has done. "

After that, he put two words on his memorial and put them in the pile of documents.

Mr. Da said no more. He stood aside and sighed in his heart: look at this meaning, I'm going to let Miss Du go. Thank you, I don't know what to do.

It's really not easy to be an emperor. We have to balance the relationship in many ways, and try to pacify the minister's mood
