Prince Han Sien

When Han Sien entered the palace, the emperor had countless questions in his heart, but he still wanted to maintain his status as emperor, so he was sipping tea, calmly waiting for Han Sien to speak.

As a result of Han Sien's words, the emperor choked and spit out the tea in his mouth, most of it was on the imperial case, and a little dripped on his dragon chair.

Yuan Bao hurriedly walked over, while gently beating the emperor's back, poured another cup of tea deftly, waiting for the emperor to rinse his mouth after his heart-piercing cough.

After coughing dryly for a while, the emperor stopped the itching in his throat. He took a handkerchief and casually wiped his itchy nose.When everything calmed down, the emperor threw the dirty handkerchief into Yuan Bao's hand. He looked at Han Si'en, whose expression remained unchanged, and said, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."

A hint of annoyance appeared on Han Si'en's face, he said: "My minister just said that it was my minister who caused the third prince to be injured, please Your Majesty deprive this minister of his position as the eldest son."

Following Han Sien's words, it was the cup that the emperor drank from just now. The cup passed by his ear and shattered behind him, and the emperor's distraught voice sounded: "How dare you say it again. Here I asked for the abolition of your son, which is higher than you, and I suppressed it for you. Now, you tell me that you want me to cut off your son. Do you think you have some credit? , I dare not dispose of you or what?"

After hearing this, Han Si'en shook his head and said bitterly: "I don't mean that. I have always remembered the emperor's protection of my minister. It's just this assassination incident that made me understand that I have made too many enemies." Even with the protection of the emperor, I am afraid that there are people who have been monitoring this minister. This time, this minister was taken advantage of by someone who had a heart, if he hadn't met Mr. Bai I am afraid that I will implicate the third prince to die under the sword. I am really afraid when I think about it. The third prince is the son of a dragon. Even though I have won the emperor's favor, I am still a courtier. I am guilty of the injury of the third prince. I don't have anything valuable on me, I only have the title of son, after much deliberation, I can only ask the emperor to take back the title of son."

Hearing this, the emperor snorted twice angrily, and said, "Ji Luo reported this matter when she returned to the palace. From what those black-clothed people said, it might have something to do with your activities in the south of the Yangtze River. How did you come here? Is someone watching you and trying to kill you?"

Han Si'en didn't hide anything. He recounted the words of the man in black when he assassinated them, and then looked at the emperor and said angrily: "Your Majesty, although this humble minister has acted impulsively and recklessly, but my humble minister has Not stupid, among the Jiangnan officials that Weichen raided, which one has the ability and influence to extend his hand to the capital? Zhou Maan is one of them, but if he had that ability, Weichen would have been assassinated to death in Jiangnan, why wait until now? Now, those men in black are united in action, advance and retreat in doing things, and are fearless and not afraid of death. It is obvious that they cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. Just ask the officials in Jiangnan, who has such a big talent to train so many people, and where did they get the money? ?”

After listening to Han Sien's words, the emperor couldn't help but think of the gold mines in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as Zhou Ma'an.Thinking of Emperor Zhou Ma'an, he felt angry. At first he wanted to blame Ji Luo for his crimes in the prison, but when he saw that this trick was not working, he dragged all the princes in the palace into trouble. Before he could continue to be interrogated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Zhou Ma'an swallowed the gold and died.

For this reason, the emperor scolded the Ministry of punishment and almost slapped down the minister of the Ministry of punishment, but the emperor was always in a knot in his heart as to whose hands the mined gold went into.

Now when Han Sien suddenly heard what Han Sien said, a line flashed across the emperor's head, but he didn't grasp the clue.It is a matter of course that money can cultivate people, but it is not right to cultivate a group of people who are not afraid of death.

The person who assassinated Han Si'en and Ji Luo was probably a slayer secretly cultivated by some people.

A dead man, not afraid of death, is quite similar to Han Sien's description, but he doesn't know which prince is behind the scenes.

The emperor was not a fool. When Ji Luo reported to him, she stood firm. What she said was the truth without any additions, and she did not express her own guesses.The emperor had some speculations in his heart, and Han Si'en mentioned it so bluntly now, it just proved his deepest thoughts.

The most likely person who can train dead soldiers is the one who stares at the position under his buttocks. The emperor never doubted this.

Han Si'en naturally acted as if he didn't know what the emperor was thinking. He looked at the emperor with a solemn expression, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something in my heart and I don't know whether I should say it or not."

The emperor glanced at him lazily and said, "Say it."

Han Si'en gritted his teeth, and said: "Wei Chen said this not because of personal grievances, it's just what I think in my heart. Your Majesty, do you think that Wei Chen's assassination was caused by South Korea?"

The emperor thought that there was something wrong with his ears, so he couldn't help asking, "Who are you talking about?"

"My father, Mr. Han, Mr. Han Zhuohan." Han Sien said without blinking.

The emperor was shocked by Han Sien's fearless spirit. He was silent for a long time before recovering his voice: "Why do you say that? As a courtier, cultivating dead soldiers in private is a serious crime for exterminating nine clans. Han Zhuo is your own son." Father, don't talk nonsense."

Han Si'en shook his head and said: "If it's really my father who did it, my minister's defense is disloyal to the emperor, and my minister's speaking is unfilial to my father. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult, but my life is given by the emperor. The emperor can take it away at any time. This is what Weichen thinks about. The Korean government is the fifth prince's niece, and Weichen's third uncle and his niece have been involved in the gold mine. In addition, the Korean government has also been involved. I have mastered the military power, and although I handed it over later, it is quite suitable when I think about it.”

Hearing this, the emperor pursed his lips, shook his head and sighed, "Han Si'en, Han Si'en, I know that you have some personal grievances with the Korean government, but you can't put this hat on the Korean government just by talking about it." Come on, Mr. Han Zhuo, he has nothing else, he is always cautious as an official, he has been in the court for decades, and no one has caught him. Of course, the matter of Han Ping is an exception Just as soon as this exception came out, didn't Han Zhuo throw him out? I can't take it seriously because you speak so unsubstantiatedly."

The emperor's words were not to excuse Han Zhuo, but Han Sien's words sounded reasonable, but they couldn't stand up to scrutiny.Han Zhuo has been in the capital for so many years, the emperor didn't have much affection for him, he almost sent someone to guard the door of his house every day, if Han Zhuo dared to commit this trick of cultivating dead soldiers, the emperor would have taken him down long ago Well, do you have to wait until now?

So although the emperor really wanted to get rid of ministers like Han Zhuo who had made contributions to his ancestors, he still had to face and pay attention to evidence. There was no way he could just fabricate a crime like Han Sien.

The emperor didn't want to leave an image of himself as a tyrant who didn't pay attention to evidence in the history.

After hearing what the emperor said, Han Si'en frowned and said, "However, I still feel that I was in someone's way, and I was assassinated this time, and the third prince was purely implicated by my servant."

Seeing Han Sien's troubled look, the emperor felt happy. He said, "Well, this matter is related to you and the third child after all, so we can't just let it go so easily. I will give you the privilege to investigate , no matter who you find, I will cover it for you, what do you think?"

When the emperor said this, his tone was milder than usual, and there was an obvious sense of seduction in it.

When Han Si'en heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and he solemnly said: "I thank the emperor, my minister will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, his expression becoming more gentle.

At this time, Han Sien hesitated for a moment, and said: "If it is found out that this matter is related to the South Korean government, is the humble minister also among the nine clans that were exterminated?"

The emperor snorted and said, "Now you know you're afraid? Why didn't you see you when you were so impassioned just now?"

"This minister just wants to tell the emperor what's on his mind, and he's a little annoyed. Thinking about it now, it's really selfish." Han Sien said embarrassingly.

"It's a good thing to be selfish. I've seen people with selfishness, but I haven't seen one with such a big selfishness. You really shocked me. That is to say, I know your temperament. If it were someone else, you would have already I dragged you down." The emperor shook his head and said speechlessly.

Han Sien chuckled twice, quite innocently.

The emperor looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked casually, "Do you have a good relationship with the third prince and Bai Wenhan?"

Han Si'en replied without thinking: "Due to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, I got along with the third prince a few times more than others. I have a bad reputation, so only the third prince dared to say a few words to me. As for General Bai Wenhanbai, Wei Chen is not familiar with him, but he has met his younger brother Bai Shu a few times, General Bai probably doesn't like Wei Chen very much."

"You also know that people don't like you." The emperor muttered something in a low voice at the end, and after seeing Han Sien's puzzled eyes, he coughed dryly and said, "Thanks to Bai Wenhan for saving you and the third child this time." , to repay people well.”

"Repay?" Han Si'en said: "But General Bai may not be willing to meet with us more. After all, he is a general, and the third prince is a prince. If we have too many contacts, we will be suspected."

The emperor was silent, thinking of the tangled expression on Ji Luo's face when he said this to Ji Luo, who was obviously unwilling but unable to refuse, looking at Han Si'en who said this in an upright manner, the emperor was a little bit heartbroken, and then he pointed He opened the door and said, "Get out."

This time, Han Si'en got out of bed in a numb manner, and before leaving, he asked a lot of questions, to investigate the assassination by himself, whether it was done explicitly or secretly.

The emperor waved his hand with pain in his head to tell him to leave quickly.

When Han Sien left the palace and got into the carriage to go to the South Korean government, all the expressions on his face were put away, and he became deserted.There are two main purposes for him to enter the palace this time, one is to dispel the possibility that he, Ji Luo and Bai Wenhan are secretly connected in the emperor's mind, and the other is to ask the emperor to let him investigate the assassination incident.

Since the emperor's golden words were in his hands, it was up to him to decide who would end up with the sword hanging in the air and poke a hole out of the sky.

He didn't want to live, but he didn't have the reason to let people get cut for no reason, and let them go.

What's more, he had already repaid Bai Shu's favor, but now because of this incident, he owed another life-saving favor.Last time in Jiangnan, Bai Shu also saved him at a critical moment, but that time he thought he could escape, the most important thing is that Bai Shu didn't get hurt because of saving him.

Bai Shu's martial arts are so good, he can obviously avoid everyone's attacks, but the scene of him grasping the sharp blade with five fingers in panic for Han Sien has been circling in Han Sien's mind these days.

This gave Han Sien an illusion that if he did not seek justice for Bai Shu, then this matter would always trap him, making him unable to escape from this dynasty.

This thought made Han Sien very unhappy. He didn't want to owe Bai Shu this favor, so he had to repay it.

After Han Sien returned to the Duke's Mansion, he did not go back directly to Fanglan Courtyard, but took the initiative to look for Han Zhuo for the first time with his frail body.Unfortunately, Han Zhuo is in the old lady's yard at the moment.

Han Sien thought for a while, and then went to the old lady's yard. The gatekeeper in the old lady's yard saw him, and instinctively wanted to stop him from entering, but Han Sien raised his eyebrows so With a sideways glance, the little girl's face froze, and she knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to speak.

Han Si'en slowly entered the old lady's yard.

At this time, in the old lady's room, Han Xiu was kneeling at the old lady's feet and weeping silently. Han Shu looked angry and jumped, and Han Zhuo sat aside, watching the two of them quarrel with cold eyes. His eyes were dark and cold.

The arrival of Han Sien brought the conversation between them to an end.

After Han Sien entered the door, he even omitted the superficial greeting. He looked at Han Zhuo and said straight to the point: "I just went to the palace to meet the emperor and told him that the assassination incident is related to the South Korean government."

Before others could understand the meaning of his words, Han Zhuo was startled, his hands trembled, he stood up abruptly, swaying dizzily, he pointed at Han Si'en, his fingers trembling, "You...what nonsense are you talking about?" ?”

This assassination incident was related to him, but he thought he had no reason to leave.Now such a strange thing was arbitrarily placed on the Duke's mansion by Han Si'en, and told the emperor that it was a matter of losing the heads of the Nine Clans, how could Han Si'en dare to speak so easily?Damn it.

Han Sien smiled and listened to Han Zhuo's inner thoughts, and said slowly: "If I don't take the initiative to talk nonsense, how can I dispel the doubts of the Korean government in the emperor's heart? After all, the suspicion of this government is not small."

"The emperor won't believe your nonsense." Han Zhuo also figured it out at this time, he thought he knew the emperor very well, the emperor is a person who cares about face, and he would not believe anything without evidence , This is also the foundation of his survival in the court these years.

However, he was a little puzzled as to why Han Sien would do this.Han Si'en has no feelings for the Duke's Mansion, so the Emperor would not believe him when he said that. In this way, wouldn't he protect the Duke's Mansion, which he hates the most?

Han Si Enming knew the result of doing this, why did he still do it?Han Zhuo was really confused, after all, Han Si'en didn't look like a man from the government of saving the country.
