Chapter 1137 Old 3's Worry

Soon, Yun Li finished reading the report sent by Yuan Cong.

Princess Jing!

Yuan Cong’s report also pointed directly at Concubine Jing!

The daughter of the former Crown Prince Yongxi!

Even Concubine Jing’s identity is completely consistent!

Moreover, Yuan Cong also mentioned many officials in the court in his report.

The first to bear the brunt was the Imperial Censor Meng Ruowang!

Yun Li quickly picked up Yun Zheng's memorial and compared it with the officials mentioned in Yuan Cong's memorial.

The list in Yun Zheng's memorial involved more officials in the court.

Yuan Cong's report involved more officials from Dengzhou and Yuzhou.

However, both Yun Zheng's memorial and Yuan Cong's report mentioned several people at the same time.

These people are all officials in the court!

The one with the highest status was the Imperial Censor Meng Ruowang, and the one with the lowest status was a young general of the fifth rank in the Youtunwei!

Obviously, his judgment was wrong!

Yun Zheng is not biting people randomly!

There are indeed many officials in the court who are Concubine Jing’s people!

Even though he has become the Crown Prince Regent, these officials in the court are still following Concubine Jing wholeheartedly!

Isn’t she just the daughter of an exiled prince of the previous dynasty?

Is it worth so many people following you wholeheartedly?

As he was thinking, Yun Li's gaze fell on Yuan Gui again.

His suspicion came back again!

It’s clearly a matter between Dengzhou and Yuzhou!

Yuan Cong led his troops to garrison Yizhou. Why would the secret letter be given to Yuan Cong?

If anyone is going to give it, shouldn't it be given to Wu Du of Yuzhou or the general stationed in Dengzhou?

The more Yun Li thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Could it be that Yuan Cong and his son are also Concubine Jing’s men?

The so-called secret letter was just because they were afraid that they would be implicated after the incident, so they exposed Concubine Jing's conspiracy in advance and got themselves out of the way first?

However, even their master has been exposed, so it should be impossible for them to remain unscathed, right?

Yun Li thought about it carefully and dispelled his doubts.

I must be too suspicious!

Yuan Cong and his son are still trustworthy!

Yun Li thought for a moment, then immediately handed the memorial sent by Yun Zheng to Yuan Gui: "Take a look!"

Yuan Gui subconsciously wanted to take it, but suddenly he was startled and quickly acted respectfully: "I dare not!"

This is a memorial!

He is just a general now, how can it be his turn to see it?

"Look, I told you to look!"

Yun Li directly handed the memorial over, "I asked you to read it, can I still punish you?"

Yuan Gui hesitated for a moment before carefully taking the memorial.

Yuan Gui glanced at Yun Li again, and seeing that there was no strange expression on Yun Li's face, he dared to carefully open the memorial to check.

However, when he saw the contents of the memorial, Yuan Gui was almost scared to death, and he frantically cursed Yun Zheng's ancestors in his heart.

This bastard!

Not only did he steal the credit from the father and son, but he also slandered them as Concubine Jing's men!

This is going to put them and their son to death!

"Oh!"

Yuan Gui knelt heavily, and explained with a face full of grief and indignation: "Your Highness, Yun Zheng is slandering my father and me! Yun Zheng is trying to sow discord! My father and I are loyal to Your Highness, and we would never do anything to let Your Highness down! Please understand!"

Having said that, Yuan Gui kowtowed again.

"Get up and talk!"

Yun Li glanced at Yuan Gui calmly, and seeing that Yuan Gui didn't get up, he stepped forward and helped Yuan Gui up himself, "If I didn't trust you and your son, why would I show you this memorial? I know this is Yun Zheng's trick!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yuan Gui felt relieved and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Yun Li returned to his seat and said with a smile, "I just want you to know that Lao Liu is a jerk who holds grudges! You and your son should be more careful!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness!"

Yuan Gui bowed again to express his gratitude.

Yun Li smiled with satisfaction, and immediately ordered: "You must be tired after traveling all the way back, go down and rest first! Although Lao Liu has found some things, I will never forget the contributions of you and your son! After I finish handling this matter, I will definitely reward you well!"

"Thank you, Your Highness! I will take my leave now!"

Yuan Gui bowed and left respectfully.

Looking at Yuan Gui's back, Yun Li couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

The Sixth Brother wanted to frame Yuan Cong and his son, and he wanted to use this opportunity to make them more loyal to him, while also appropriately reducing their contributions.

Yuan Cong and his son need to raise the price slowly and not raise it too high at once!

Yun Li was secretly proud of his method and was about to summon four regent ministers to discuss the matter, but suddenly he had an idea.

After thinking for a while, Yun Li immediately shouted, "Someone, summon Xu Shifu, Duke of Jingguo, to discuss this matter!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, Xu Shifu arrived at the Prince's Mansion, exhausted.

After a brief greeting, Yun Li handed Yuan Cong's report and Yun Zheng's memorial to Xu Shifu for review.

After reading the letter, Xu Shifu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy: "So, it was that bitch Concubine Jing who sent someone to kill Yuncheng?"

Yun Zheng and Yuan Cong both found out that Concubine Jing was the mastermind behind the incident!

Yuan Cong also mentioned in his report that the Red Moon Sect was actually set up by Concubine Jing using a clan in Yuzhou!

The Wang family of Dongqiao also has a close relationship with the Red Moon Sect!

The murderer who murdered his son must be Concubine Jing!

"should be!"

Yun Li nodded gently, "Uncle, don't be angry first. I have something to ask you to make a decision for me."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Xu Shifu clenched his fists tightly and secretly made up his mind to make the bitch Concubine Jing pay for his son's life!

It would be best to let the Ninth Prince die together!

Avoid future troubles forever!

Yun Li gently rubbed his head and said hesitantly: "What do you think? Should we let our father handle this matter, or should we make it public in the court?"

If Emperor Wen handles this matter privately, the impact of this matter can be minimized.

If this matter were handled openly in the court, it would certainly have a wide impact.

Now, he just needs to use this incident to eliminate a group of dissidents. He doesn't want to make this matter too big, otherwise it will be troublesome if it ends up in a bad ending.

Moreover, if Emperor Wen handled the matter privately, he could also curry favor with Emperor Wen.

But the problem is, with such a big thing happening, even if they wanted to hide it, they probably couldn’t!

Therefore, Yun Li was very conflicted about this matter and he couldn't make up his mind.

After listening to his words, the furious Xu Shifu gradually calmed down.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Shifu shook his head and said, "With so many people involved, this matter cannot be concealed! But how to deal with Concubine Jing and the Ninth Prince must still depend on the emperor's opinion! Your Highness should not ask this humble minister, but the emperor!"

Yun Li couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Xu Shifu’s answer was exactly what he thought!

Of course he knew that he should ask Emperor Wen for his opinion on this matter.

His urgent summoning of Xu Shifu was just a disguised means of appeasement.

He wanted to let Xu Shifu know that he still relied on him the most!

Emperor Wen had transferred Xu Yungong to the Ministry of War to appease Xu Shifu, so he had no reason not to appease him.

After all, it is now basically certain that it was Concubine Jing who sent someone to kill Xu Yuncheng!

First appease Xu Shifu, then it will be easier to handle the rest of the things.

"Then I should go and ask my father what he thinks!"

Yun Li sighed softly and said with a worried look on his face, "I wonder if my father will fall ill again after hearing this news..."

At this point, Yun Li was really worried.

If anything happens to Emperor Wen, given the nature of that bastard Old Six, he will definitely slander himself for murdering his father and usurping the throne, so that he can find a legitimate reason to rebel!

"This one……"

Xu Shifu also knew Yun Li’s worries.

After a slight hesitation, Xu Shifu replied: "No matter what, this matter must be handled by His Majesty! If Your Highness is worried, you can bring the imperial physician with you to see His Majesty and reveal a little to Him first so that he can be mentally prepared!"

Emperor Wen is not dead yet!

Whether it is Concubine Jing or the Ninth Prince, it is not Yun Li's turn to deal with them.

"Now, this is the only way."

Yun Li rubbed his head and said, "Uncle, please come with me to meet the Emperor!"

"I'd better not go!"

Xu Shifu immediately refused, "At this time, I have to avoid suspicion! Your Highness, please do not give His Majesty any random advice. We must handle this matter as His Majesty says!"

Yun Li thought about it and nodded slightly...
