039. Receive the order

After dinner, Liang Shenyu did not leave, but went to the study with Rong Se and said to him sternly: "Zhu Lanshan has worked in the Ministry of Revenue for many years. If he is touched, countless officials will be implicated. There is also the Jizhou injustice case. It is not just Zhang Haicheng, but all the county magistrates in Jizhou are also involved. The prince's actions in the morning court are a bit too big."

Rong Se knew it very well, but whether for the thirteen innocent families who died unjustly or for his own life, he had to confront Zhu Lanshan.

Besides, Zhu Lanshan worked in one of the six ministries and took orders from Xi Yan, who was also a conservative monarchist like Cao Lun.

Take down one at a time.

"We will have to take action sooner or later." Rong Se sat at the table, seemingly unconcerned. "If I let them go, will they let me go?"

This is the truth. Liang Shenyu knew that the Regent and the new emperor would always fight to the death, and he was even the one who caused this situation.

Liang Shenyu fell silent, and even wanted to ask why Rong Se treated him so kindly. If he hadn't stopped her, Rong Se would have been able to take revenge and complain now.

After hesitating for a while, Liang Shenyu still hadn't found out what happened in the palace back then, but from his point of view, Rong Se was definitely not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. There must be a reason why he kept holding on to Rong Jing.

"If the Jizhou injustice case is related to the late emperor, not only Zhu Lanshan, but also Cao Lun, Xi Yan and their ilk will try their best to cover up the case." Liang Shenyu brought up the topic subtly, "Rong Jing ascended the throne as a direct descendant of the royal family, and Cao Lun will never allow the royal family's reputation to be tarnished. If necessary, not only Zhang Haicheng, but also Lord Lu and Yu Sicheng who are investigating the case will not be able to escape death."

Rong Se's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists, "How dare they!"

"Your Highness knows that they will definitely root out the problem. This is a matter of royal dignity. As long as Lu Shangqian and Yu Qingzhou are dead, no one in the court will dare to mention this matter again."

Liang Shenyu made his point clear.

Rongse suddenly woke up.

He is just an ordinary man who dares to make such a big fuss because he knows part of the plot. However, he always forgets that this is not an era of rule of law, but a feudal dynasty with supreme imperial power, where even the dissemination of information is difficult.

If the other party had killed Zhang Haicheng, it would have been fine, but Lu Shangqian would not let it go. It was very likely that Cao Lun had killed Lu Shangqian and Yu Qingzhou to shock the ministers.

Seeing Rong Se's expression change several times, Liang Shenyu lowered his eyelashes and said softly: "The only way now is to close the case as soon as possible, force Cao to break his own arm, and abandon the Zhu family together. Only when the matter is settled can we save Minister Lu and Yu Sicheng."

Rong Se raised his eyes and saw Liang Shenyu looking at him gently. His face looked more mature and handsome than when he was young, but the gentleness between his eyebrows made him look like a handsome young man.

He acted so harmless, even showing weakness, that Rong Se's mind, which had been clear for the past thirty years, suddenly became confused.

It seemed as if after fourteen years of wind and snow, he was still the young man galloping on the street.

"If the prince has an order." Liang Shenyu smiled, his voice magnetic and gentle, "I am willing to go to Jizhou and bring Zhang Haicheng back to Jinjing alive."

Rong Se was in a daze for a while before he managed to come back to his senses, but he nodded subconsciously.

When he looked up again, Liang Shenyu was bowing to him, "I accept your order."

Rong Se said in a hoarse voice: "You..."

"I have ruined your plan once." Liang Shenyu laughed, "This time, I will repay your kindness."

The major event this time naturally refers to Liang Shenyu leading his troops to defend the king, forcing Rong Se to watch Rong Jing ascend the throne.

"My Lord, it's not just for me." Rong Se stared at him, stubborn and obstinate. "The Mei family spent all their wealth to save the disaster, but their family was confiscated and their clan was exterminated. A pregnant woman who was about to give birth was hung on the city gate until she died. In addition to these thirteen families, countless disaster victims starved to death or froze to death. This is not a prosperous age, this is hell."

"You are the Marquis of Dingbei. You are the god of war that the people respect and trust. You cannot watch the likes of Zhu Lanshan, Zhang Haicheng, and You Changjin act recklessly and oppress the common people. Marquis of Dingbei, don't let down the people who trust you."

Liang Shenyu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and replied, "I understand."

.

After Lu Shangqian finished his court session, he did not go to the Ministry of Justice, but went to the Dali Temple with Yu Qingzhou to retrieve the files of the thirteen cases in Jizhou fifteen years ago. There were a total of thirteen volumes, and each of them contained countless lives and bloody injustices.

Lu Shangqian lowered his head and flipped through the papers, saying, "Master Yu, you don't have to investigate this case. I will report it to the prince. I am enough to handle this case."

Yu Qingzhou was stunned, pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said: "Minister Lu..."

"Young man." Lu Shangqian did not raise his head. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Don't interfere in this case. The Jin Dynasty cannot be left without a successor."

At this point, Yu Qingzhou still had something to understand. His face suddenly changed, and his hands were shaking with anger as he held the file. He gritted his teeth and said, "Minister Lu, how could they...!"

During the years that Lu Shangqian was in the court, he refused to go along with them and had witnessed many dirty things. The secrets concerning the reputation of the royal family in the past dynasties must always be secrets. In fact, Lu Shangqian had already believed most of the old case that the Regent Prince dug up.

Because of this, he was even more disappointed. After half a lifetime in the imperial court, who didn't have the ambition to do something great when he was young? But today, Lu Shangqian found that everything was just a joke.

Zhang Haicheng is the governor of Jizhou. If he wants to rise to a high position, he must ensure that Jizhou is stable.

Zhu Lanshan was the Minister of Revenue. He was so greedy and stingy that he was even stingy with the money for disaster relief.

And Rong Xu, Rong Xu is the emperor, he just wants the country to appear to be safe and sound, those injustices are forced to hide in the corner, and there is also a part in the shadow that the emperor reaches out to block.

There is no hope.

"Go, Lord Yu." Lu Shangqian sat down with the file in his arms, reading it word by word with his back straight.

Yu Qingzhou's eyes were almost red. He clenched his fingertips, stepped forward suddenly, and said firmly: "Lord Lu, since the prince has mentioned it, we will never let this case be suppressed again. It has been fifteen years, and the people who died tragically in Jizhou should be vindicated. You and I just need to find out the truth."

Lu Shangqian was startled, raised his head and sighed: "Master Yu, this case involves the secrets of the royal family. It is very likely that..."

While he was talking, some officials passed by and started talking.

"I heard that the Regent Prince issued an order to have Dingbei Marquis arrest Jizhou Governor Zhang Haicheng."

"Everyone is going to the generals' platform to review the troops. With Marquis Dingbei personally leading the troops, I'm afraid Zhang Haicheng won't be able to escape this time."

"You deserve it. What you did is inhumane!"

The two of them walked away muttering to each other, and the two people in the room looked at each other in silence.

As the Regent Prince was exercising imperial power, he naturally had the right to send Marquis Dingbei to lead the troops. However, he did not expect that Marquis Dingbei would actually obey the order.

After a while, Yu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, "Minister Lu, now the Marquis of Dingbei has also gotten involved. It's not enough to cover our mouths, we have to get rid of the Marquis of Dingbei."

Lu Shang pursed his lips humbly for a long time, then slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Okay!"

.

In the palace, Cao Lun and Shangshu Ling Xi Yan both had solemn expressions.

Rong Jing was already a little panicked, "Liang Shenyu is going to Jizhou. Once the Jizhou officials are arrested and brought back to Beijing, it will not be so easy to suppress this matter."

Xi Yan echoed: "The Jinbei cavalry will not have much chance to arrest people personally from Zhang Haicheng, so I'm afraid they can only make some trouble in Beijing."

Zhu Lanshan quickly followed up: "That's right, this is about the reputation of the late emperor and the royal family, this case must not be overturned!"

"That's enough." Cao Lun glanced at Zhu Lanshan coldly, "You are the one who caused this! You dared to make such a big decision on your own. If you hadn't been so ruthless, we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation right now! Rong Se has made a good name for himself by using this case and the reputation of the Rong family. All his previous plans have come to naught! Now he wants to shut others up, but what can he do? Everyone in the court knows about it!"

Zhu Lanshan's forehead was covered with sweat. He raised his sleeves to wipe off the sweat. He was confused and said, "Lu Shangqian, as long as Lu Shangqian and Yu Qingzhou, the two people in charge of this case, are dead, the court officials will know how to keep their mouths shut. Even if Rong Se is all-powerful, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death!"

When he said this, Rong Jing's mind moved slightly, and he nodded and said, "It is also a solution."

Cao Lun and Xi Yan looked at each other.

"Let's wait and see." Cao Lun exhaled lightly, his brows full of gloom, "If we have no choice, we can only make those who should shut up shut up."

Rong Jing was relieved at this, nodded, and said: "If the royal family loses face, how can the people of the world believe in it? The emperor's uncle is too arbitrary and doesn't even care about the royal family!"

It was a nice statement, and the only one who agreed with it was Zhu Lanshan.

Rong Jing still felt it was not enough.

He hated Rong Se's self-righteous and arrogant look. If he hadn't relied on the royal family, how could he be where he is today? In order to seize power, he even disregarded the face of the royal ancestors. If this matter were to spread to the market, how would the people view the royal family? How would the royal family serve the people in the future?

This is simply reckless!

And Liang Shenyu!

Rong Jing's expression changed, and he suddenly asked, "When will the Dingbei Marquis set out?"

This time, Marquis Dingbei received an order from the Regent King. When this matter was mentioned, several people looked unhappy.

Finally, Cao Lun said, "I think we can leave the city at least until sunset today."

Rong Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "First... summon him to the palace. I will talk to him. He is a minister of the Jin Dynasty and should serve the Jin Dynasty with all his heart. How can he help Rong Se to reverse the verdict and discredit the royal family?"

Cao Lun had no hope for this. He lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis Dingbei's move is clearly an attempt to please both sides. Even if we summon him to the palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince him."

How could Rong Jing be willing to accept this? Today at the morning court, he saw the look in Liang Shenyu's eyes when he looked at Rong Se, and he felt uneasy.

It was a look of appreciation with more complex emotions.

He was actually admiring the son of that whore, the son born to that promiscuous woman!

"Let me." Rong Jing paused, "Let me give it a try."

Seeing that he insisted, Cao Lun and Xi Yan looked at each other and said nothing more.
