"Shen Xuanheng, aren't you kidding?"
The third prince's narrow Danfeng eyes flashed with mockery, "It's not that this palace has underestimated you, but you have been recuperating at home all these years, and you don't care about the affairs of the court, let alone how to deal with the affairs of the criminal prison. ”The emperor did not express his position immediately, but looked at Shen Xuanheng and wanted to hear how he would deal with the words of the third prince.Shen Xuan Heng was light, his expression was calm, and he slowly spoke: "What His Royal Highness said is very true, Weichen has indeed been in peace for many years, but the affairs of the criminal department and the prison do not need to be handled by the criminal department book, there are left and right servants under the book, and there are also big and small directors under the waiter, and the book of the criminal department only needs to make decisions in the general direction.And the emperor now needs a person who can do practical things and not bend the law for his own selfish interests to sit in the criminal department, and His Royal Highness also knows that Weichen has been sick since he was a child, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to live a long life, so he has no interest in financial things, so if I come to act as the secretary of the criminal department, I will not cheat for personal gain, second, I can share the emperor's worries, and third, I can also complete a small wish of my own. ”"Oh?
Xuan Heng, if you have any wishes, just say it, as long as it is in accordance with the rules, I will follow it, why bother so much. ”The emperor is kind and pleasant, and he looks like a kind elder.The corners of the third prince's mouth twitched, and for a while he was a little suspicious, who was the emperor's biological son.Shen Xuanheng showed yearning on his face, and said with his head held high: "Your Majesty, the Zhennan Wangfu has been loyal and good from generation to generation, and Weichen's father and several brothers are all throwing their heads and spilling blood on the battlefield, but I hate that I have been weak since I was a child, and I can't make contributions to the country, maybe one day I will be sick and unable to move."
So before that, Weichen also wanted to share the worries of the country and serve the emperor, so as to live up to the reputation of the Zhennan Wangfu for generations. ”"Good, good."
The emperor said without thinking: "Since you have this heart, then I will give you a chance, and from today onwards, you will act as the secretary of the criminal department." ”"Father......
I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules......"
The third prince was suddenly anxious, now in the sixth department of the court, he and the eldest prince are half open, it can be said that the power is equal, but if the punishment tribe is in the hands of Shen Xuanheng, he will be a head shorter than the eldest prince on paper, which is definitely not what he wants to see."
Okay, that's it, no need to say more."
The emperor made a final decision and interrupted the words of the third prince, but he then patted Shen Xuanheng on the shoulder, and said in a rather serious tone: "However, the criminal department is handed over to you, and you must also manage it well. ”"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will never let you down."
Shen Xuanheng bowed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.After a few more gossips, Shen Xuanheng got up and said goodbye.Out of the imperial study, he heard the footsteps behind him, if nothing else, the third prince should follow."
The son of the world stays."
Shen Xuanheng paused and turned around."
What else does the third prince do?"
The third prince smiled faintly, his expression was gentle, "Today's matter is that the palace is too careful, and I hope the prince will not take it to heart." ”"His Royal Highness's suspicions are reasonable, how can Weichen take it to heart, not to mention that anything suspicious must be boldly guessed and carefully verified, for example, Mrs.
Weichen was assassinated, and the mastermind behind the scenes is Bloody Yilou, but a Jianghu killer organization, where did you dare to assassinate the princess of Zhen'an Palace?"
Shen Xuanheng looked at the third prince with meaningful eyes, and said: "So Weichen will also boldly speculate whether there is still a mastermind behind the bloody clothes building." ”The third prince's face did not change, and his smile remained the same, "What can His Royal Highness deduce then?"
”The corners of Shen Xuanheng's mouth rose, revealing a smile full of meaning, "There is already an object of suspicion now, and it is time to verify it carefully." ”The third prince stared at him, and then said with his hand: "If the prince finds out the real murderer, you must tell the palace, and when the time comes, the palace will help you invite a will like your father to severely punish the murderer." ”"Then thank you to the third prince."
The third prince bowed slightly, and then walked away.Shen Xuanheng stared at the back of the third prince, thoughtful.Half an hour later, Zhennan Wangfu.In the courtyard of the four-room red brick and tile, there was a faint sweet smell, the small stone table in the courtyard was full of pastries, Su Suqing put her legs together, the medical book was spread out on her legs, she was holding a snack in her hand and eating it in small bites, and colorful crumbs were scattered all over the books and dresses.The courtyard door was pushed open, and Su Suqing raised his eyes to look at it, his eyes were like peach blossoms."
Husband, I'm back so soon."
The sky was stormy in the morning, and the sky was already clear at the moment, and the sun was sprinkled on Shen Xuanheng's handsome face, as if a layer of golden light had been plated on the beautiful jade.He smiled softly and rubbed his fingers lightly on Su Suqing's face."
I thought about you, so I came back soon.""
Strange again!"
Su Su smiled skillfully, pulled Shen Xuanheng's sleeve and sat down, then pointed to the pastries on the table and said, "The shopkeeper of 'Xu Fu Ji' specially sent someone to thank me for treating his wife's illness, you can try it." ”Shen Xuanheng didn't move, just opened his mellow lips.Su Qing's beautiful eyes were shy, and she picked up a piece and fed it to him."
How's it going, is everything clear?"
Shen Xuanheng bit down halfway, leaving a crescent moon on the oval hazelnut crisp."
This trip not only confused things, but also had an unexpected gain.""
Huh?
What do you mean?
”Su Suqing listened to him while making tea.Shen Xuanheng half-squinted his eyes and said: "Shen Chejin, this idiot, I don't know when I got together with the three princes, when I saw the emperor in the imperial study today, the two of them suddenly had a hard time, although the words and deeds of the three princes are reasonable, but they always give me a feeling of hiding a knife in a smile." ”Hearing this, Su Suqing was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Shen Xuanheng to start being suspicious of the third prince so soon."
Husband, I heard that the third prince is ruthless and unscrupulous, do you think he has been dealing with us behind the scenes."
Su Suqing said these words in order to increase Shen Xuanheng's suspicion of the third prince, so that he could be careful of this person in the future.After hearing this, Shen Xuanheng thought for a while, and said slowly: "Your guess is not impossible, but if he can deal with me, it is still reasonable, Zhennan Wangfu is a high master, and I am the kind of person who is not easy to control, so he secretly poisoned me and put me to death."
But what does he do with you?
You didn't offend ......"
Halfway through his words, Shen Xuanheng's face suddenly sank, remembering what the emperor had said.
