"Li Yan..."

Emperor Chengde took a deep breath and said, "How did he find Li Yan's head?"

The third prince also participated in the investigation of the case this time. Chen Ju, as a great eunuch, was naturally clear about the details. He knelt beside Emperor Chengde and explained in detail the case that Ji Chong investigated.

After hearing this, Emperor Chengde frowned in displeasure.

"Why is he so unruly?"

Rules are the most powerful weapon for vested interests to restrain the bottom, because these rules themselves have already stipulated the interests of vested interests. As long as people in the world can abide by the rules, then vested interests will always be vested interests.

The royal family is the greatest vested interests.

Therefore, even if the emperor does things, he must follow the rules. If all the rules are gone, the emperor will no longer be the emperor.

Even Emperor Wu was unable to do whatever he wanted.

If the third prince Ji Chong investigates the case like this, it will be faster, but there are no rules, which makes Emperor Chengde feel a little displeased.

His Majesty the Emperor frowned and said, "How long has Li Yan been in the prison of the Ministry of Justice?"

Chen Ju glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's time for half a day."

Emperor Chengde closed his eyes with some difficulty.

"Li Yan probably has suffered a lot at this moment."

"You go there in person and let the third brother release Li Yan."

This time, although Emperor Chengde was not dead, he was indeed seriously injured. According to several imperial physicians, the knife stabbed into the emperor's body hurt the emperor's lungs. This injury will inevitably leave hidden injuries and will almost impossible to heal.

I can only take care of myself slowly.

In addition, Emperor Chengde is already forty-five years old and no longer in his prime. Even the imperial physicians dare not say when they can be well-raised and whether they can be well-raised.

The imperial physicians dare not even say how long Emperor Chengde can live.

In this case, it is obvious that there is no way to turn against Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Because the crown prince has not been established, Emperor Chengde needs to spend the remaining time to examine the candidates for the new emperor, and basically has no energy to look south to Shu County.

In other words, the matter in southern Xinjiang is probably not solved in the Chengde Dynasty.

It can only be handed over to the next emperor.

This situation is a situation that the former Emperor Chengde did not want to see anyway, but there is no way, and this is a reality that has to be faced.

Although Emperor Chengde is lying on the bed, he is unprecedentedly calm. The capital is now in chaos. In his unknown life, he needs to try his best to manage this country and then hand over the country to a suitable emperor.

Chen Ju nodded bitterly.

"I understand."

He bent and said in a stern voice: "Your Majesty, is this matter stopping at Li Yan?"

Emperor Chengde opened his eyes with some difficulty.

"You can only stop here and check it, and it will be difficult to end."

"You are a smart person, this matter...you go in person and watch and deal with it."

Chen Ju nodded.

"The person before Li Yan?"

This matter was investigated from a brief and in-depth manner. The people before Li Yan mentioned by Chen Ju refer to Zhou Dainian and Li Ji.

"Kill them all."

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes: "Except for Li Xin, there are all other people who are counted as one, and I will kill them all!"

When things have come to this point, how can Emperor Chengde not hate it?

I let Li Yan go because I can’t do anything about it, but there are people before Li Yan who count on one and all deserve to die!

Chen Ju bent down deeply.

"Old slave... I understand."

………………………………………

When Chen Ju rushed to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Li Yan, as the Minister of War, had indeed suffered a lot.

Originally, he was an official at the level of the Nine Ministers. According to the rules, no one could take him without an edict. Before the official's body was removed, no one could torture him. However, the third prince was never a ruler. His Highness personally took action and had already beat Li Yan forty or fifty whips.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he naturally has a lot of strength in his hands. After whipping fifty whips, Li Yan's physique could not support him and almost fainted from pain.

The third prince held the torture whip in his hand, looked at Li Yan coldly in a mess, and roared: "Who told you to instruct me to harm my father?"

Although Li Yan was embarrassed, there was a faint smile on his lips. He opened his eyes with some difficulty and glanced at Ji Chong.

"Your Highness, if you don't follow the rules today, you will be treated with me in the future. Some people will not follow the rules in the future. Please wait and see."

"You still dare to be stubborn!"

Ji Chong growled.

"You traitors are hurting my father! Don't tell me any rules or irregularities. Now the Japanese king beat you to death. If the court holds you accountable, I will pay you my life!"

Ji Chong's face was cold, and the whip in his hand shook a loud whip flower.

"Don't you say?"

Li Yan was covered in wounds, but the military man did not bow his head, but just smiled reluctantly: "Your Highness...what do you want me to say?"

"You want to tell me the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Li Yan glanced at Ji Chong with great slightness and laughed: "Your Highness is just trying to make me beat him up and beat him up. Okay, I admit it now. This matter is indeed what I did, and I was instructed by the Marquis of Pingnan."

"Then what?"

Li Yan's face was calm: "Your Highness is going to Shu County now, and he will also capture the Marquis of Pingnan to the Ministry of Justice and beat him up, and then force him to ask who is the commander behind the scenes?"

Li Yan's words made Ji Chong feel a little confused about how to respond.

This man was still a tough guy just now, why did he change his attitude in a short while and bow his head and admit defeat?

Ji Chong glanced at Li Yan with some uncertainty.

"Do you dare to make a secret?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Of course I dare to do it. The question is whether Your Highness dares to let me pretend."

Li Yan's eyes did not look at Ji Chong, but looked at a person not far behind Ji Chong.

The man walked in with a step, shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, you have done this too much."

Ji Chong turned around in shock, and then he realized that Chen Ju, the eldest father-in-law of the inner palace, stood behind him at some point.

"Brother-in-law, when did you arrive?"

"It's been a while."

Chen Ju glanced at Li Yan, covered in blood, and a hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes, and then bent down at Li Yan.

"Mr. Li, the third prince is ignorant and will make you suffer. The court will give you an explanation for this matter in the future."

Li Yan glanced at Chen Ju lightly, and relieved the rest of his heart.

He was not worried about his life, but about the Emperor Chengde.

If the emperor was only slightly injured, then the Pingnan Army would have to raise the flag to rebel.

But now that Chen Ju is here, it means that even if the Emperor Chengde is not dead, it will not take long to live.

Chen Ju personally untied the rope for Li Yan.

Li Yan was covered in wounds and had long lost his strength. As soon as the rope was loosened, he collapsed to the ground.

Li Yan, who was sitting on the ground, looked up at Chen Ju and said respectfully: "Grandpa, what's wrong with Your Majesty?"

Chen Ju squinted his eyes and said, "It's just a minor injury. It's better to recuperate for a few days, there's nothing serious."

Li Yan let out a long sigh and said, "It's good if you have nothing to do, and it's good if you have nothing to do. Please tell Your Majesty that this matter has nothing to do with Li Yan and the Marquis of Pingnan. It's all Li Ji who is catching and biting it randomly!"

Chen Ju looked at Li Yan with a smile.

"Your Majesty is clear about what Mr. Li said, otherwise Your Majesty would not have let our family come and let Mr. Li go out."
