The implication is that you will only have the power to exterminate the entire Marquis's family once you become emperor. Are you so eager for this? Do you want to usurp the throne?
At this moment, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Xie Sheng, his eyes filled with displeasure.
Xie Sheng felt the coldness in Emperor Tianqi's eyes, his legs went weak, and he knelt down, hurriedly saying, "Father, that's not what I meant. It's just that Yue Jingsheng was indeed arrested and imprisoned by Yun Chuwei, and many people in the capital witnessed this and can testify to it. Yun Chuwei's claim that she didn't arrest anyone is clearly a lie!"
Yue He hurriedly added, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince's words are all true. Many people witnessed Yun Chuwei abducting people. If Your Majesty sends someone to investigate, the conclusion can be reached. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Tianqi looked at Yun Chuwei and continued, "Yun Chuwei, what do you have to say?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the arrest of Yue Jingsheng has nothing to do with me. It was Your Majesty's Embroidered Uniform Guard who made the arrest, and His Highness Prince Xuan was in charge of the interrogation. I don't know why His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Yue insist that I was the one who made the arrest? Are you trying to pin the crime of abusing your power for personal gain and settling personal scores on me?"
Xie Sheng's eyes widened upon hearing this.
He never expected Yun Chuwei to say that.
Yue He's expression changed; he had a feeling that things were heading in a worse direction.
Was it actually His Highness Prince Xuan who was interrogating his son? Why didn't he know about this?
That day, we did receive news that His Highness Prince Xuan had gone to the Embroidery Bureau.
But didn't His Highness Prince Xuan go to apologize to Yun Chuwei that day?
According to his wife, the day before, His Highness Prince Xuan left Yun Chuwei at the palace gate and went back to his residence.
Later, Yun Chuwei chased after Prince Xuan to his residence, but Prince Xuan refused to see her.
The next day, His Highness Prince Xuan seemed to regret his decision, so he went to apologize to Yun Chuwei.
He didn't like hearing about these silly stories of young boys and girls falling in love for the first time, so he didn't pay any more attention.
Why did it become that in Yun Chuwei's words, it was Prince Xuan who presided over the trial of his own son?
At this moment, Emperor Tianqi had already looked at Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan spoke up, "Father, Yue Jingsheng was indeed arrested at my request by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I submitted a memorial to you before, requesting your assistance in the investigation. I wonder if you remember?"
Emperor Tianqi nodded: "I remember, I approved the Embroidered Uniform Guard to assist you!"
The crown prince was stunned; he hadn't expected such a turn of events.
Then their charge of participating in the initial stage of the cloud is no longer valid?
Why is Yun Chuwei always so lucky?
Yue He sensed something was wrong. His hands trembled slightly as he asked, "May I ask what case Your Highness Prince Xuan is investigating? Does he need to arrest my son?"
Yue He knew that a case that could warrant His Majesty's approval for the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Court of Judicial Review to cooperate on a case was definitely not a small one.
He felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about his son's past.
If their own son does something and they don't notice, but Prince Xuan and the Embroidered Uniform Guards spot it first, then they're doomed!
He couldn't help but recall what Yun Chuwei had said.
She said that her son would be the root cause of the destruction of her husband's entire family.
No, absolutely not, such a thing will not happen!
Yue He prayed silently in his heart.
However, Xie Xuan's next words plunged Yue He into an icy abyss.
Xie Xuan said, "The Court of Judicial Review received a report that your son misappropriated military funds, privately replaced rations with inferior ones, and lined his own pockets. Since this matter falls under the jurisdiction of the whistleblower, which is the responsibility of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Court of Judicial Review informed the Embroidered Uniform Guard and together they submitted a memorial to His Majesty, requesting a thorough investigation. Does Lord Yue have any further questions?"
Upon hearing this, Yue He's legs trembled, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
He raised his voice, trembling, and said, "Your Majesty, even if you gave my son ten lives, he wouldn't dare to do such a treasonous thing! Please, Your Majesty, investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Although that's what he said, Yue He wasn't sure.
He knew how lawless his own son was.
Last time, when those three women died in the Taoist temple, if he hadn't contacted their families in time and used threats and inducements to persuade them to drop their appeals, he probably wouldn't have been able to save his son.
Now, he can only pray that Xie Xuan and the Embroidered Uniform Guards haven't obtained any evidence.
In addition, he needs to dispose of all the evidence as soon as possible.
Emperor Tianqi's slightly cold gaze swept over Yue He, and finally landed on Xie Xuan.
He began by asking, "How's the investigation going?"
Xie Xuan said calmly, "We've already made progress! We'll give His Majesty a result in three days!"
"Very well!" Emperor Tianqi immediately said, "I will give you three days! Let the Ministry of Justice get involved too! After three days, the three judicial departments will conduct a joint trial. If there is no result, I will hold you responsible!"
"Your subject obeys the decree!" Xie Xuan replied.
Yue He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Judging from His Highness Prince Xuan's words, he doesn't have all the evidence he needs yet.
He still has a chance.
He should be able to use these three days to help his son destroy the evidence.
At this moment, Eunuch Sun whispered a reminder: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Justice has just been demoted three ranks, and the position is currently vacant..."
Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment, then said to Yun Chuwei, "Yun Chuwei, you stay. Everyone else, leave!"
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across everyone's eyes.
Emperor Tianqi had already surprised them by having the Embroidered Uniform Guard protect Yun Chuwei, but now he had left her alone.
Why did Emperor Tianqi favor Yun Chuwei so much? It's truly puzzling.
Although the group was surprised and wanted to know why, they dared not linger.
They left in a hurry, leaving only Emperor Tianqi, Yun Chuwei, and Sun Jiasheng in the Imperial Study.
Emperor Tianqi looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "Go to the Minister of Personnel and ask for a list. Help me see who is qualified to serve as the Minister of Justice!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiasheng, who was standing to the side, widened his eyes.
He knew that His Majesty favored Yun Chuwei, but...
How could His Majesty entrust the appointment and removal of ministers to Yun Chuwei? Has His Majesty gone mad?
But he was just a eunuch, whose job was to serve His Majesty.
While there are some things that can be reminded of His Majesty, there are others that are best left unsaid.
For example, regarding the current situation, it's best to pretend you didn't hear it.
Yun Chuwei understood Emperor Tianqi's meaning; he wanted her to read the candidates' faces.
She did this often in her previous life.
Nowadays, chaos is rampant, and there is a tendency for the world to descend into utter chaos.
He wants to turn the nation's fortunes around, so he needs to be careful in selecting and appointing capable people.
While physiognomy cannot reveal the whole picture of a person, it can help one avoid those who are extremely wicked and capable of wreaking havoc on the country.
Yun Chuwei agreed and then said, "If Your Majesty is looking for someone with an upright appearance and great fortune, I have recently met one."
Emperor Tianqi looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "Who is it?"
