Chapter 176 Entering the Palace
Staring at these names, Shen Li, who was originally frowning, suddenly smiled.
It seems that all the clues in these cases came from the Zhou family.
He and Zhou Qing are really a match made in heaven!
Is this an auspicious gift from God to him?
With a smile in his eyes, and after missing the beauty far away for a while, Shen Li turned his attention to the piece of paper again.
Now he has Su Ke, Song Qi, Kou Rong and Yelu in his hands.
Apart from other things, with Su Ke alone, the Duke of Zhen Guo did not dare to act rashly.
But because he captured Su Ke, Duke Zhen probably hated him.
He was fearless. After all, he was working for the emperor, and it was only a matter of time before he met the governor of the country.
What's more, the Rongyang Hou Mansion was brutally poisoned by everyone, and Zhou Huaishan...
After a moment of silence, Shen Li stood up with the paper and entered the palace.
Royal study room.
The emperor had just finished discussing the construction of water transportation in the spring with the six ministers.
There were mixed opinions and objections, and everyone was quarreling.
The emperor only felt dizzy, brain-swelled and painful.
The construction of water transportation is obviously a good thing that benefits the country and the people, but some old guys are jumping against it because it affects their own interests!
When Shen Li entered, the emperor was rubbing his eyebrows with a livid face.
Hearing the movement, he sighed.
Shen Li cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty, are you still worried about water transportation?"
The emperor said angrily: "Those old guys, if they don't know what they are doing, I will replace them!"
Shen Li said: "Your Majesty has always wanted Hu Weiyue to come back. You might as well take this opportunity to directly let Hu Weiyue take over the post of Minister of War."
The emperor sighed and waved his hands, leaning back on the chair with a look of despair, looking at Shen Li.
"It's useless. To build canal transportation, what we need most is the Ministry of Industry. Now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has shamelessly told me that the Ministry of Industry does not have such talents, that old bastard!"
In anger, the emperor directly swore.
Obviously, Shen Li was not surprised, and his expression did not change at all.
"The minister is looking for some people who are good at fortification among the people."
The emperor let out a dull breath.
"Even if I found him, the old bastard still has other excuses. The best thing I should do is replace him, but he was the person recommended by my imperial sister at that time. If I don't have enough reasons to replace him, my imperial sister I don’t know how to make trouble yet!”
The emperor felt even more headache when he thought of these messy involvements.
When the emperor mentioned this, Shen Li immediately
The corner of his mouth raised slightly, "Your Majesty, maybe you don't have to worry about this."
"Do you have any idea?"
"I have no choice, but Her Royal Highness Princess Furui has solved this trouble for you."
The emperor looked at Shen Li in confusion.
Shen Li bowed and handed over the file in his hand.
"The Duke of Zhen Guo influenced the war in Beiyan and sold military rations for profit. The mastermind behind the talented grain shop is Her Royal Highness Princess Furui."
The emperor has not yet had time to read the file.
Upon hearing what Shen Li said, his eyes widened in shock.
"What?"
Shen Li recounted in detail the confessions made by the eldest son of Prince Ning's palace, ignoring the existence of the Zhou family.
The emperor's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After Shen Li finished speaking, the emperor slapped the table.
"You are really my good sister! My dear sister! I have been led by the Duke of Zhen to rule the court for several years. She did not say that she shared my worries, but she actually colluded with the Duke of Zhen!"
Shen Li said: "Her Royal Highness, Princess Furui, is not really the Duke of Zhen Guo in collusion."
"Youcai Food Store belongs to her, and you still speak for her?"
Shen Li lowered his head, "At Youcai Food Store, Her Royal Highness the Princess met with the Crown Prince of Prince Ning's Mansion."
What Prince Ning and the Crown Prince of Prince Ning wanted to do, Shen Li reported back to the emperor in detail when he returned to the capital.
It is precisely because of this that Prince Ning and his son's plan was killed before it was implemented.
Although the emperor could not arrest him, he could severely reprimand him and then keep him under strict supervision.
But now.
The emperor's eyes stared at Shen Li like a falcon, and his anger made his face look ferocious for a moment.
"You said that my biological sister and Prince Ning are on the same boat?"
Shen Li nodded, "So far, it seems so."
"Ah!"
The emperor copied the Hubi rice paper on the table.
It fell to the ground with a crash.
Shen Li took advantage of this opportunity and said: "Before His Majesty ascended the throne, the Rongyang Hou Mansion was brutally wiped out overnight. I heard that the case was committed by gangsters."
The emperor didn't understand why Shen Li suddenly brought up this case from the late emperor's time.
But he knew that Shen Li would never talk nonsense.
Silently, the emperor waited for Shen Li to continue.
"Later, out of curiosity, I investigated this case privately. I discovered that the woman in charge of catering in the Rongyang Marquis Mansion and her daughter-in-law's sister were working at Princess Furui's residence."
The emperor's eyelids twitched.
My heart skipped a beat.
It was very clear what Shen Li meant by this.
"You said Furui was responsible for the mass murders in the Rongyang Marquis Mansion?"
"I'm not sure, but I know that Princess Furui and Mrs. Rongyanghou had always been at odds with each other. Mrs. Rongyanghou was the childhood sweetheart of the eldest princess's consort. Before becoming her consort, he was originally going to marry Mrs. Rongyanghou. "
"How did you know?"
Shen Li
Of course Zhou Huaishan told him!
Zhou Huaishan even said that he is the Benhou of Rongyang Hou!
He was shocked at first.
But after thinking carefully about Zhou Huaishan's behavior, it was not in line with what a farmer should be like. Coupled with his feelings for Zhou Qing and his love for the house, he believed Zhou Huaishan's words.
When he came back from Qinghe County that night, he reviewed the files of Rongyang Hou Mansion.
There were indeed many strange things about that case.
But he couldn't tell the emperor these words.
"I found some old people back then and found out."
What Shen Li said was serious, and the emperor didn't think twice about it.
Princess Furui's appearance appeared in her mind.
In his impression, this imperial sister was gentle and virtuous.
Could she really do something to murder the entire family of Marquis Rongyang?
The emperor shook his head and looked at the files.
The file contains evidence that Princess Furui colluded with Prince Ning and Duke Zhen.
She can do such treacherous things, let alone kill a whole family!
"What do you think about this matter?"
Shen Li hurriedly said: "The matter between the eldest princess and Prince Ning is a state matter if it is said to be a state matter, and it is a matter of your Majesty's family if it is said to be your majesty's family matter. I just obey your orders."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Shen Li clasped his fists and said, "I believe that the most urgent task is to retain military power in the hands of the Duke of Zhen.
The minister's investigation into the Zhen Guo Gong's selling of military supplies has made the Zhen Guo Gong very angry.
Once he deliberately provokes the Beiyan incident to provoke His Majesty, Your Majesty will be very passive.
At this time, it happened to give King Ning the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The reason why Prince Ning was ready to take action was because Duke Zhen was muddying the waters. "
"Didn't you already capture Su Ke?"
"The character of Duke Zhen Guo, I am afraid he will not give in for Su Ke. As long as the prince is still the prince, Duke Zhen Guo will never come."
Shen Li spoke so bluntly that the emperor was shocked.
Duke Zhenguo is the prince's biological uncle.
Duke Zhen Guo would not allow other princes to become crown princes, and the prince would not allow Duke Zhen Guo to fall.
