When the emperor learned that He Chaosheng had assassinated the crown prince, he was so furious that he had to directly cut off He Xiang's head.
However, the ministers knelt on the ground to plead, and the eldest prince also came forward to say something, which made the emperor a little unhappy.
At this time, Qin Wenhai, the head of the household, stood up and spoke, not to intercede for the minister, but to show his attitude very fairly, impartially and without falling into the ground, but to calm the emperor's mood a little.
The emperor has been in charge of the government for many years, and he is not a stupid monarch, so he will only be angry when he is angry, and he has to cut off He Xiang.
At this time, he was persuaded by Qin Wenhai and regained his senses.
He Chaosheng's assassination of the crown prince, there are still some things that have not been clarified, whether this matter is instigated by He Xiangye, and it also needs to be carefully investigated.
Of course, even if it wasn't at the behest of Prime Minister He, just He Chaosheng's assassination of the crown prince was enough to make the entire He family doomed.
"Okay, according to what Qin Aiqing said, all the He family will be put in prison, and in addition, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department will be ordered to jointly send people to the He Mansion to search.
Remember, only useful evidence is searched, and no property of the He Mansion is allowed to be touched, of course, if there is anything abnormal, immediately enter the palace to report. ” Immediately, the emperor ordered Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to jointly investigate the case and search all the He Mansion.
If He Xiang really has misdeeds, there will definitely be some clues left in the family, as long as the evidence is conclusive, no matter who intercedes, the emperor will have to cut off He Xiang's head.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing got the emperor's order, and hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order to do the errand, and directly took He Xiang to the prison to be detained.
Then, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the Holy Decree, and sent all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion into the prison, and then led people to search everywhere to find what they needed.
The Criminal Department and Dali Temple did not mention how to handle the case, only said that the emperor lost his temper, and finally dissipated his anger, and then dispersed the early dynasty.
The civil and military officials were also trembling with fright, and they all came out of the palace with a little twist in their legs and stomachs.
"Second brother, why did you come forward to say that it was better to take advantage of Your Majesty's anger and directly cut He Xiang."
On the way out of the palace, Qin Wenhan, the servant of the ministry, asked his brother softly.
Qin Wenhai glanced at his younger brother and sighed, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple.
We all know that the last time the prince was assassinated, it was also committed by He Chaosheng and others, but the prince never seemed to mention it, and he didn't even say it in Fang Cai's letter.
Don't you think it's weird?"
"The prince's style of acting is quite strange, and ordinary people can't guess it.
With His Royal Highness's methods, if you want to keep He Chaosheng alive and interrogate the confession, it shouldn't take much effort.
But His Royal Highness directly killed He Chaosheng, and asked people to send his head back to the capital, it is obvious that His Highness has other plans. ” "He Xiang has been in business in the court for many years and is the father of the concubine.
After all, the concubine gave birth to three sons to His Majesty, no matter what, His Majesty will also look at the concubine's affection and give the He family a little thin noodles.
Fang Cai was just angry, so he shouted that he wanted to cut He Xiang, but in fact, he didn't necessarily really want to kill someone. ” "You also saw it just now, I just casually persuaded a few words, and His Majesty immediately agreed.
I think Your Majesty also wants to go down the stairs, otherwise how can you take back what the king of a country has already said We can't be in a hurry in this matter, everything still has to wait for His Highness to return to Beijing before making plans. ” "I estimate that His Highness will not be able to return to the capital in a short time, a few days ago, the news of the drought and locust plague in Baoding Mansion in Zhending Mansion has been sent to Liaodong, and I want to come to His Highness to learn about it, and he will definitely go back in a hurry.
When His Highness comes back, the matter of Hefu will naturally have a result, so let's not mix it up too much. ” Qin Wenhai has a unique vision and profound insights, and he also knows Shen Lingye quite well, so he told his younger brother not to act rashly.
"He Xiang is cunning and cunning, and he has been operating in the DPRK and China for decades, and he is deeply rooted and not easy to deal with.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to Beijing for a short time, and there is nothing to rely on except for the help we can give.
At this time, we should be more calm and not reckless.
Otherwise, once the fire is ignited, the rise and fall of the Qin family will be small, and it will not be good if His Highness is bad.
Wait patiently, Your Highness must have a comprehensive plan on your side, and we'll know when Your Highness comes back. ” As soon as my brother said this, Qin Wenhan also understood.
"Okay, everything is under the orders of the second brother, it's not too early, let's go eat two bites first, and then I have to go back to the yamen on an errand."
In this way, the two brothers went out of the palace, found a random place to eat, and then went back to the yamen on an errand.
It didn't take much time for the officials in the capital to know what happened in the early dynasty.
Everyone was also surprised when they heard the news of He Xiang's second son's assassination of the crown prince, and at the same time, they were even more shocked when they learned of the emperor's attitude.
It seems that the emperor really attaches great importance to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and even He Xiangye was almost beheaded.
He Xiang was thrown into prison, and the party of the eldest prince was even more panicked at this time, and many people couldn't help but get together to discuss how to rescue He Xiang.
However, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been ordered by the emperor to be sealed, and the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department jointly investigated the case.
Everyone was terrified, for fear of finding out any unfavorable evidence from Prime Minister He's mansion, if that was the case, not to mention Prime Minister He and the eldest prince, even these people would have to be implicated.
Just when there was a commotion outside and all kinds of rumors were rampant, in Prime Minister He's mansion, Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing would be with their respective subordinates, but they were busy and dizzy.
He Xiang is a veteran of the two dynasties, and his daughter is a concubine of the dynasty, so his family background is naturally rich enough.
He Mansion has dozens of acres and thousands of houses, and it is necessary to search carefully one by one, and it is not possible to destroy the property in the house at will, and it is necessary to register everything, which is not a small workload.
However, the emperor also said that this matter was only handed over to the two yamen, and no one else was allowed to interfere, and the manpower of the two yamen could not be completed for a while and a half, and everyone had no choice but to search as quickly as possible.
It took more than two days for the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to search all the top and bottom of the He Mansion, but the results obtained were very unexpected.
There was no physical evidence against He Xiang in the He Mansion, except for the huge amount of gold and silver treasures hidden in the He Mansion, and a letter found in the secret compartment of He Chaosheng's study, there were no clues.

In desperation, Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing had no choice but to enter the palace with the results of the search.
At this time, the emperor had just taken away the crying concubine, and he was in a bad mood, and when he heard that the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department had not found anything, he was furious again.
Finally, the emperor's anger subsided, and then he looked at the letter, and when the letter was finished, the emperor sighed, "That's it, let's wait for the prince to come back and deal with it." ”:
