Chapter 531: Advice to Jun Moyong

Seeing this, Jun Moyong lowered his head with a cunning look in his eyes, and raised his head with worry in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I only discovered this incident accidentally. If it's just Zhang Youqing's position, it wouldn't be a big deal. But I'm afraid there are other positions that Your Majesty doesn't know about that have been sold. The consequences would be..."

Emperor Tianyuan clutched the evidence tightly, his knuckles turning white from the strain. The rage in his chest surged like magma, threatening to burst through his chest. He raised his head, his gaze piercing, staring directly at Jun Moyong, his tone filled with both anger and disappointment.

"Ayong, you did the right thing. As a prince, it is your responsibility to uphold the order of the court. But I never expected that my prince would fall to this level!"

Jun Moyong spoke in an earnest tone, but his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

"Father, I dare to ask you to forgive my brother, the Crown Prince, just once. This matter cannot be publicized. After all, if handled improperly, it could damage the foundation of the country and cause unrest in the government and the country."

Emperor Tianyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in his heart. He naturally knew that this matter was of no trivial importance and must be handled with caution.

He sat down slowly, seemingly considering every possible consequence.

"Ayong, since you discovered this, from now on, you will investigate this case together with the Dali Temple Minister."

Emperor Tianyuan's voice was deep and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, I obey your order."

Jun Moyong hurriedly accepted the order, but secretly thought in his heart that as long as he handled the matter properly, he would benefit the most.

Emperor Tianyuan's gaze fell on him. Among his many princes, Jun Moyong was the only one who got along well with all his brothers, and had the gentlest temperament. He usually did not fight or compete with others. But why did he feel as if something had changed now?

"Ayong, you and I are father and son, but we are also monarch and subject. You and your brother, the Crown Prince, are also blood relatives. And you were born into an imperial family. In this case, you don't need to cover up, but you also want the truth."

Jun Moyong was shocked when he heard this, and then responded respectfully.

"I understand. I will handle this matter impartially, living up to my father's trust and adhering to our brotherly love."

He knew very well that every word and every action at this moment was crucial. He had to demonstrate his loyalty and ability, but at the same time, he couldn't let his father think that he had any ulterior motives.

So he continued.

"Your Majesty, I believe this matter must be conducted in secrecy to avoid alerting the enemy and causing unnecessary panic and chaos. At the same time, I will quickly identify all officials involved, as well as the possible forces behind my brother, the Crown Prince, to ensure the stability of the court and the peace of the country."

Emperor Tianyuan nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"I have always trusted you to do things. However, this matter is of great importance. You must be extremely careful and cautious, and not make the slightest mistake."

Jun Moyong bowed again.

"Your Majesty, I will obey your orders and do my best to live up to your high expectations."

After leaving the imperial study, Jun Moyong did not leave the garden directly, but went to Bai's residence.

He knew that every next step had to be carefully planned. He had to make sure the prince received the punishment he deserved, but he also had to prevent the situation from getting out of control. He also had to take this opportunity to consolidate his position in the court. He had to discuss this matter with his cousin, after all, his cousin had the evidence he wanted.

White House.

After lunch, Jun Moye and Su Hanchu took a walk in the yard. They only needed to add fuel to the fire in the court affairs, so the two of them were quite free.

"Chuchu, according to the news sent by Brother Qingrui, the prince has been confined again."

Su Hanchu smiled when he heard that.

"I just got out of house arrest and spent New Year's Eve, but now I'm under house arrest again. This Jun Moxu has really added some fun to this New Year."

Caiyue stepped forward and said.

"City Lord, Young Master, the Second Prince is here."

Su Hanchu and Jun Moye met at first sight.

Jun Moye opened his mouth and gave orders.

"Please come to the lobby."

Jun Moye and Su Hanchu walked slowly towards the lobby, each thinking about the purpose of the second prince Jun Moyong's visit.

The two men knew very well that the court was unpredictable, and Jun Moyong's visit this time must be related to the turmoil in the morning court. Jun Moyong might even have presented evidence of the prince's previous sale of official positions.

In the lobby, Jun Moyong had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the two of them come in, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Meet my cousin and my cousin's wife."

Jun Moye and Su Hanchu walked to the main seat and sat down.

"There's no need for such formalities between you and me, brothers. Please sit down. Since you have come from the palace, I'm afraid you must have had lunch."

Then he began to give orders.

"Caiyue, ask the kitchen to prepare lunch for the Second Prince."

He really didn't have time to have lunch, and it wasn't the first or second time that he had eaten at his cousin's house, Jun Moyong spoke frankly.

"Then I would like to thank you, cousin."

It takes some time for the kitchen to prepare the meal. Jun Moye looked at Jun Moyong.

"You rushed here in such a hurry, there must be something important. Sit down and talk slowly!"

Jun Moyong nodded and sat down after hearing this. His eyes moved between Jun Moye and Su Hanchu, and finally landed on Jun Moye, his tone somewhat solemn.

"Cousin, I'm sure you've heard what happened in the court. The Crown Prince has been confined again, and I took the opportunity to report Zhang Youqing's case. My father was furious and entrusted me with the important task of investigating the Crown Prince and my brother's corruption of official positions. Considering the seriousness of this matter, I must proceed with caution, so I came to discuss countermeasures with you, cousin."

Jun Moye frowned slightly when he heard this, then returned to normal.

"Since Ayong trusts me so much, I will tell you everything I know."

"Qing Gu."

Qinggu handed the evidence he had prepared long ago to the second prince.

Jun Moye reminded in a deep voice.

"Ayong, although your uncle has entrusted you with this task, you are still a prince, and you already have a rivalry with the crown prince. You must have Lord Zhou from the Dali Temple personally uncover the evidence. From beginning to end, you have only been assisting, not the one leading the investigation. Do you understand?"

Jun Moyong naturally understood the crux of the matter. If he had found the evidence himself, even if it was true, his father would have believed it. But as time went on, his father might have suspected that he had ulterior motives and was killing his brothers. But if Lord Zhou had found the evidence himself, and he had only assisted, then his father would not have suspected him.

"Thank you for your advice, cousin. Yong understands everything."

Jun Moye nodded after hearing this and continued to give some suggestions.

"The last time the Crown Prince was confined to his room, the Queen easily released him at a New Year's Eve banquet. This shows that the Queen's ability should not be underestimated. As long as the Queen is there, the Crown Prince will be safe."
