    ?

    A few drops of dew in the early morning weighed down the green grass of Zisheng Temple, and someone touched the dew and entered the temple gate.

    Bai Ya was not far from the temple gate. Jiang Qichen didn't return all night, which made her a little worried.  She came to the temple gate early and stopped to look around. Before Jiang Qichen came, she saw the second prince in military uniform.

    "I thought we would see each other again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

    Bai Ya sighed, vaguely guessing that something happened.  She looked at the second prince and remained silent. The second prince smiled as usual: "Father has passed away."

    Bai Ya knelt down after hearing this. This was the proper etiquette.  After the death of his father, the second prince wore military uniform instead of filial piety.  The image of the second prince matched Bai Ya's guess.  This second prince is not simple. He is definitely not the appointed emperor, but he will become the emperor.

    "After that, you will be ordered to rectify the floods in the Yellow River. With your talents as the number one scholar, you will be appointed as the governor."

    Bai Ya still didn¡¯t speak.

    "My father may regard you as a tool, but I really like a strange woman who is not inferior to women."

    This time Bai Ya wanted to speak, but was blocked by the second prince: "You don't have to enter the palace, but you can't stop others from liking you, right? We will have a political relationship in the next few years, so I won't mention it again. I'll put it aside  I will always keep it in my heart, you understand, I understand, that¡¯s enough.¡±

    "Second Prince, you came to me today just to talk about this matter."

    "You can speak like this with your current status, but you can't do it after the morning court. My brother, the prince, will ascend the throne in the morning today. I ambushed someone at Xuanwu Gate. It's almost time. I should go. Goodbye, Mr. Bai."

    Mr. Di Qing didn't sleep well last night. Jin Abacus came here last night. Of course he didn't come here to eat red oil cold skin in the middle of the night.  Jin Abacus revealed a big news, the second prince will be the emperor tomorrow.

    It was a strange thing for the Holy Emperor to pass away at the age of forty, but Jin Abacus said that the second prince wanted to be the emperor.  Among the sons of the Holy Emperor, only the second prince was indecisive and incapable of great achievements.

    Why does Jin Abacus assist such an emperor?  Master Di Qing couldn't figure it out, so he didn't sleep well.  While drinking strong tea, a servant came to report that something big happened at Xuanwu Gate. The second prince personally took the sword and beheaded the prince off his horse. Then he took the bloody sword and officially ascended the throne as emperor

    Master Ding from the Ministry of Rites said that the Holy Emperor had known his fate for a long time. During the last sacrifice to the heaven on Mount Tai, he had already planned to pass the throne to the second prince.

    Yesterday, His Majesty's old illness relapsed and he died suddenly in the palace.  This matter reached the ears of the prince, who disobeyed the emperor and wanted to take the throne.  When the second prince learned about this, he had no choice but to argue with the prince. However, the prince felt guilty and wanted to punish the second prince for disobedience and prepared to kill him. The second prince had no choice but to fight back and finally killed the prince.

    No one believes this, it¡¯s rebellion.  The ministers whispered to each other that such important matters should be decided by first-class ministers like the Third Division and the Three Lords.

    These old guys basically don¡¯t rest at home and can¡¯t go to court on weekdays.  That's all on weekdays, but on such a big day, you are spending time at home, taking your salary and not doing anything for the Tang Dynasty?

    At this moment, Master Di from Dali Temple came out.  In the eyes of everyone, Mr. Di is courageous, not afraid of power, and works for the welfare of the people. He is an upright official who is rare in thousands of years.  When Mr. Di comes out, he naturally wants to say something fair.

    The second prince looked at Master Di, thinking in his mind.  Master Di knelt down and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

    "Lord Di, please be safe."

    Lord Di stood up, turned around and said solemnly to the astonished ministers: "A few days ago, the late emperor mentioned that Taifu Li Chuanshi and the prince planned to rebel."

    As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

    Is Taifu plotting rebellion?

    Working with the prince?

    Seeing everyone¡¯s reaction, Lord Di¡¯s mind was racing. He knelt down again and asked the second prince: ¡°Your Majesty, can you summon witnesses?¡±

    "pass!"

    A little eunuch crawled into the hall on his knees with a panicked expression. He was trembling, and he knelt down without even daring to raise his head.

    "Did you see Taifu yesterday?"

    "I've seen it, but the Taifu was wearing eunuch's clothes. After he arrived, the Holy One asked us to leave."

    "What did they say?"

    "The villain doesn't know."

    "Who else has seen Taifu?"

    The little eunuch shook his head: "This villain doesn't know either."

    "After the Tutor left, who else has seen the Holy One?"

    "No no!"

    "You step back!"

    theAfter the young eunuch retired, everyone became more and more surprised and started talking about it.  The second prince glanced at the eunuch, and the eunuch who accompanied him screamed for silence. The ministers were silent. They would not make any conclusions easily based on just a few words from a young eunuch.

    "This matter cannot be used as evidence, and one person's words cannot be used to arbitrarily judge the Taifu's crime."

    Master Di's face remained calm and his heart did not beat. He knelt down again. Everyone who was kneeling trembled in their hearts. They thought that Master Di is usually bold. Is he really so bold today that he wants to interfere with the Taifu?

    "Your Majesty, please call the imperial physician."

    The imperial doctor could conclude that the sudden death of the holy emperor was caused by poisoning.  After the imperial doctor left, he sent the guard Wu with a sword. The guard Wu could only prove that an old eunuch had indeed seen the Holy Emperor, but he did not see the old eunuch's face, and he could not prove that the old eunuch was Mr. Taifu Chuanshi.

    There is no direct proof, it is all suspicion.  However, these suspicions would enter the hearts of the officials, and they would slowly begin to believe their own judgment. Mr. Chuanshi poisoned the late emperor and tried to assist the prince in ascending the throne as emperor to ensure the absolute power he had gained when he was the tutor.

    This is the human heart, the chess piece of the golden abacus.

    Jin Abacus entered Mr. Di¡¯s residence in Dali Temple last night and told Mr. Di to make all the officials suspicious. He would not convict Mr. Chuanshi in this way.

    Sure enough, the prince died, and the second prince said that the matter should continue to be investigated and that three generations of loyal ministers could not be wronged.  However, during the investigation, it was found that the salary of the Grand Master was still correct and the title remained unchanged.  However, the Tutor cannot enter the court to discuss matters before there is definite evidence

    In the whole incident, the only definite evidence was the young eunuch who claimed to have seen the master in eunuch clothes.  However, after the little eunuch went down, he was given poisonous wine.

    As soon as the little eunuch died, the case became an unsolved case and the master would never be convicted.  But equally, before there is absolute evidence, Mr. Taifu Chuanshi will never be able to discuss politics.

    After a few days, Taifu Chuanshi did not come forward to refute or explain.  Some officials who had been close to Mr. Chuanshi, such as the Ministry of War, wanted to know the situation.  However, Mr. Chuanshi thanked guests behind closed doors

    Not many people knew about the fact that the second prince, Xuanwumen, beheaded the prince. Everyone kept silent about it, and the people of Chang'an did not know about it either. They only heard that the emperor suddenly contracted an illness and passed away. The second prince succeeded to the throne, but no one mentioned it about the prince.

    Major events keep happening, and the people of Chang'an will always have something to talk about.  Bai Ya was mentioned again. It is said that after she became the number one scholar, she entered Zisheng Temple for meditation.

    ¡°Everyone thought that the legendary woman Bai Ya just wanted to prove her talent and had no intention of becoming an official.  However, after the second prince ascended the throne, his first imperial edict was to appoint Bai Ya as governor of the Yellow River, and he set off immediately to control floods along the Yellow River.

    Bai Ya received the order from the temple and officially became an official.  Regarding Bai Ya, the nuns at Zisheng Temple kept silent, as if Bai Ya was really just meditating during this period.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Bai Ya still has a lot to do, such as the court to issue a petition, a specially formulated fish charm, and a big seal.  Therefore, Bai Ya will stay in Chang'an for a few days.  Unexpectedly, I have been uneasy these past few days. The grand master came to Bai Ya.

    This Grand Master, together with Mr. Grand Master Chuanshi, were the assistant ministers of the late Emperor.  However, the Grand Master was very hardworking and did not work hard. He was a typical old cunning person.  It's just that he doesn't discuss politics well, and he just wanders around the fireworks field all day long.  He didn't even show up when the second prince killed the prince, but he came to Bai Ya's house alone.

    Fortunately, the bride Teng Ruoyu still lives in the Bai family. She saw the grand master and led everyone to salute to greet her. When she heard that she was the grand master, the Bai family became nervous. The grand master was a first-class official.

    Except for the emperor, Tai Shi, Taifu, and Taibao are the biggest officials.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
