"Your Majesty, the court has not dismissed yet. Should you go to the main hall or wait for the emperor in the Council Hall?"

"Go to the palace!"

Jin Juetian took the book in his hand and headed directly towards the main hall.

At this moment, the Jinluan Palace was busy discussing the case of Jin Yuhou and Song Xiangmo, which was also lively.

"Your Majesty, it is unprecedented for a woman to be a marquis. This cannot be done."

"Female Chicken Sichen, this is not allowed!"

"Your Majesty, our Dahao has clearly defined rewards and punishments since the founding of the country. Everyone here has either been awarded a title for meritorious service, or was selected for the Spring Examination. Why did this Jin Yuhou come from? She is a female, and she is the former Princess of the Yuan Dynasty.

She shouldn't be treated like this, and the granting of fiefdoms is even more inappropriate. Dahao can't enfeoff, and the emperor must not break the rules for this woman."

It was rare for the civil and military officials in the court to be so united. After you sang, I came on stage, each one impassioned. Jin Zanli couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

Although he was prepared, everyone's reaction was unexpected.

"Master Yun, Si Chen has gone too far. She has not yet been able to disrupt the government. The emperor was afraid that it was to appease the former Princess Yuan that he rewarded the former Princess Yuan like this. However, as your lords have said, please think twice..."

There are those who are upright, and there are also those who try to figure out the holy will without any pain or discomfort.

Anyway, no matter whether the opposition was fierce or not, the opinion was consistent and made the emperor withdraw his order.

"Go and invite the Prince of Heaven."

Upon seeing this, Jin Zanli gave a low-pitched order. It was Prince Tian who persuaded him to issue the decree in the first place, but he had said that when the Dongchuang incident happened and the courtiers knew about it, he would calm down if there was any criticism.

He also answered the call and left.

"Stop! My dear friends, as the saying goes, you have no joke. How can I retract the decree I made three years ago without any reason? Although it is unprecedented in history for a woman to be a marquis, there is no express provision that women cannot be a marquis."

The imperial edict has been issued, and if you want to take it back, you must have a reason. You agreed to this for the sake of unifying the world, but now he, the emperor, doesn't want to take it back?

"Your Majesty, she is a woman. She can be granted the title of county lord or even princess. The ministers and others can turn a blind eye and not care about a woman, but they must not be granted the title of land."

This tone is like a county or princess, which is already a huge charity.

Also, everyone present has daughters in their families. It would be a great gift to be granted the title of county princess. The princess would not dare to think about it, but the other party is just a princess who has lost her country, and she is not necessarily a princess who may be publicly recognized.

"No way, according to the system of this dynasty, only the royal daughter of a princess is eligible to be granted the title."

Someone immediately answered the call, saying that the princess had already passed, so it couldn't be done.

"Your Majesty!?"

As soon as Hu Ye left the main hall, he saw Prince Tian on the stairs. What a coincidence.

"Well, it sounds very lively in the main hall today."

Jin Juetian knew what he was asking, but he stood here and listened to the chattering inside. If the emperor wanted to stop this situation, he only needed to use the power of the emperor. This heated discussion was clearly the emperor's deliberate indulgence, and he wanted to show it to someone.

He understands in his heart.

Hu Ye smiled awkwardly and turned his head to look.

"Chief Huye is not waiting in the hall at this time, but is there something wrong?"

"Prince Huitian, this is unfortunate. The emperor asked his servant to summon the prince. The prince is coming soon. Please come."

Huye stepped aside and showed great respect to the Heavenly Prince today.

Jin Juetian nodded and strode up the stairs.

"Your Majesty Jin Juetian is late in handling the case. Long live your Majesty."

Jin Juetian stepped forward and entered, and all the officials in the Jinluan Palace fell silent instantly.

"The Heavenly Prince is here. It seems that the case is going well. Get up soon. It looks like you haven't slept all night. Thank you for your hard work. Someone, come and give the Heavenly Prince a seat!"

What an honor it is to be given a seat in the Jinluan Palace?

"Thank you, Your Majesty. There is no reason for ministers to sit in the palace and discuss affairs. This is not allowed! It is my duty to supervise and handle cases according to orders. It is a matter of course."

"Our Heavenly Prince is good at everything, but we take this rule too seriously. That's all. It's up to you. How is the progress of the case?"

Jin Zanli's words were not said casually. From the moment they came up, Prince Tian put on the hat of abiding by the rules.

"Back to the Emperor, the case is almost closed. The Criminal Department is sorting it out and will submit it later."

"Tell me about the case."

Although he probably knew a lot, Jin Zanli still wanted to hear it.

When it comes to the topic of the case, it is difficult for other ministers to interrupt at the moment and talk about the Prince of Heaven. However, this matter must be discussed today. We cannot set such a precedent. In fact, to put it bluntly, they think that a woman has a higher status than them.

They have to bow when they see her and ask them to bend down to a woman. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Jin Juetian slowly explained the case.

In the harem, Concubine Yao, who had retreated in order to advance and begged for punishment, was sitting on the corridor of the palace, leaning on the pillars and looking in the direction of the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, Prince Tian has entered the palace. He should be at the Jinluan Palace now. News came from outside the palace that Jin Yuhou went to the Ministry of Punishment before Prince Tian entered the palace."

Concubine Yao's face was cold, and the people in the surrounding palaces had already dispersed. She was now a guilty person, and the palace was originally a place where people flattered those who were superior and those who were inferior. Without her greeting, the palace people wanted to stay as far away from her as they could at the moment.

.

"He entered the palace at this time. This case should be almost settled. It is the case of Prince Tian, ​​far away in Huizhou. The case was settled so quickly. But what did Jin Yuhou do in the Ministry of Punishment?"

"I don't know the specific details. I only know that she went to the morgue with Prince Tian and people from the Ministry of Punishment. Madam, Baili Yongkang died without any treatment. Where is the evidence? It is impossible for Huizhou to call back and forth in two days.

, how can you sit down?" Xiaoyu looked puzzled, no matter how capable Prince Tian was, he couldn't travel a thousand miles in a day.

"I have long felt that this case is strange. If you think about it carefully, I am afraid that someone deliberately threw it out at this time. The evidence has naturally been prepared for a long time. I just don't want to understand who did it. What is the purpose?

What, the culprit in this case is the magistrate of Huizhou, what is his name...and Baili Yongkang, the person who brought this case up is targeting these two people, right, or...this concubine?"

Concubine Yao is indeed smart. After thinking quietly, she probably figured out what was going on.

But she was not sure who this incident was aimed at, who did it, and what the purpose was.

"My Lady, please don't think too much. You have nothing to do with this case. Your Majesty will definitely find out everything. Your Majesty also doesn't know about the Second Young Master's receipt of money."

Xiaoyu was shocked when she heard this.

"It is true that I don't know about the second brother's receipt of money. I am not afraid to investigate this. The problem lies with Baili Yongkang. I am worried now that the other party wants to use this case to draw out Baili Yongkang.

Pull out this concubine."

"Your Majesty, Baili Yongkang and your Majesty have never had direct contact with each other. Except this time at the Li family, they have always exchanged letters, and the person sending the letters can definitely rest assured. They also use code words. There is no mention of your Majesty in the letters.

In other words, before Baili Yongkang went to the Li family, it was impossible for anyone to know that the empress was related to Baili Yongkang!" Xiaoyu said while shaking her head, but she was panicking in her heart.

"Yes, so I still can't guess who it will be... Xiaoyu, you just said that before Prince Tian entered the palace, Jin Yuhou went to the Ministry of Punishment?"

"yes!"

"The crime occurred in Yuyue Tower. In addition to Prince Tian, ​​Marquis Jin Yu was also there at that time, right?"

"Yes, this is what I heard from you."
