He took a long time to breathe gradually calm down, swallowing his throat, and gasping in a low voice: "Since Dou Qing has prepared everything for me...it should be done without further ado, bring both the personal and physical evidence into the Nan Palace."

Dou Yuelan bowed and bowed and said respectfully: "I obey the order."

After hearing his answer, Emperor Wei leaned on the wooden railing where the emperor sat on his bed and closed his eyes and rested.

Dou Yuelan quietly took two steps back and then turned toward the palace gate. The palace servants who were waiting outside the palace seemed to hear the movement inside. Before he could push the door, he opened the red lacquer and carved fan gown gate.

Cui Qian came up and asked him, "What are your instructions?"

Dou Yuelan cleared his throat and replied politely: "Your Majesty has an order to summon witnesses related to the Hongnong case and nine officials from the Tingwei Zhenghe Supervisor Team who were in the investigation with this official."

In addition to being the two left and right prisoners who can directly supervise the power of the prison case in the capital, the Tingwei Chief Officer also handles and summarizes the prison cases across the country and the custodian team under his command. When the Tingwei Chief Officer went out of the capital to review and verify various major cases, the Tingwei Chief Officer and the custodian team followed him to assist the chief officer in investigating the case, copying and copying documents and testimony.

This time he went to Hongnong to investigate the extremely important prison case. The Tingwei and all the members of the magistrate team were dispatched and they were all walking with Dou Yuelan. Therefore, when he entered the palace, he specially brought them all in.

Cui Qian heard the answer and turned his head to look down the steps. He saw a neat and orderly line standing under the spacious hall, all of whom lowered their heads and silently. Seeing it with his naked eyes, he could not quickly count how many of them were. Cui Qian felt irritable just after a glance, and couldn't help but worry about the condition of the inner palace emperor. So hesitated and said to Dou Yuelan: "Mr. Dou... I have to trouble you to train a few important people from it to the palace to report the case. Your Majesty has been incompatible recently, so it is really not appropriate to meet so many people."

Dou Yuelan was about to explain, but he heard the cold and low voice of Emperor Wei from the empty hall: "Cui Qian, there is no need to be troublesome."

The two people standing in front of the hall were shocked at the same time and looked at the emperor on the ninth level of the hall.

Cui Qian was stunned for a moment, immediately locked his eyebrows and persuaded with great sincerity: "Your Majesty... Lord Su said that you should not continue to work hard. This time, with Lord Dou, you will go to Hongnong's escort team and the witnesses and evidence escorted back. If you examine them all, your condition will most likely be aggravated... I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

"Talk too much!" The young man leaning on the couch turned dark and he looked at the cold eyes in front of the hall with great displeasure. In an instant, he shocked Cui Qian and did not dare to say anything more.

Dou Yuelan was watching silently, and saw Cui Qian sighing helplessly, turning to the steps of the palace, counting the number of officials who followed the Tingwei Mansion into the palace, and then leading them one by one. Tingwei was leading the leader at the front, followed closely behind the left and right supervisors. The nine officials in the custodian team each held a stack of document volumes, and the number was so large that they were almost covering them. The other officials and runners guarded the witnesses and physical evidence.

Dou Yuelan turned sideways, stood from the front of the hall to the right, and lowered his eyes to wait for the emperor's order.

Cui Qian led the people in front of the hall to bend over and bend in, stood in front of the ninth stairs, and replied, "Your Majesty, you have brought you here."

Emperor Wei moved his body slanted, glanced at the crowds standing under the hall, and said lightly: "Cui Qian, go and summon the Huangmen Minister Tong Liang and his six attendants into the hall."

Cui Qian was slightly stunned and asked, "Your Majesty wants Lord Tong to review the case file?"

"Why, are you going to ask about my decree one by one?"

Emperor Wei glanced at the light of his light, and in an instant, Cui Qian was so sad that he fell into an ice cellar. He immediately lowered his head and replied carefully: "I don't dare, so I will go and pass the order."

He hurriedly retreated and almost ran away from the South Palace.

Emperor Wei slowly withdrew his gaze and casually glanced at Dou Yuelan, who was silent. Seeing that he was standing upright on the right, he turned his eyes thoughtfully, paused for two seconds, withdrew his gaze, continued to close his eyes, and leaned on the couch with expressionless face.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became strange. Jiang Chengyi and Mu Yun mixed with the many officials of the Tingwei Mansion, always keeping their minds tight and exploring the situation. Seeing that the Emperor of Wei ignored Dou Yuelan and summoned Tong Liang over, he couldn't help but worry about the next situation.

The position of Huangmen Assistant Minister is under the jurisdiction of the Dongfu Office, and is the chief official. Tong Liang also has an official position and a case in the Dongfu Office. He is located above the Censor Central Chief, with independent official titles and responsible for the communication of official affairs between the emperor and the minister.

It seems to be the case when the outside world said that, but in fact, the Huangmen Minister obeyed the emperor directly. The chief minister not only had no right to interfere with the position of the Minister, but also had to be monitored by him at all times. Tong Liang, who was always with him when Emperor Wei was young and the crown prince, was always with him. He was the best at observing words and expressions, flattering and flattering, and could timely understand the holy heart and win favors. Therefore, after Emperor Wei ascended the throne, he was appointed as the Huangmen Minister and could freely enter and exit the palace.

As the saying goes, being with the king is like a tiger. Tong Liang has been with him for many years, but he is still quite favored. The power he holds is getting bigger and bigger, which is enough to prove that he is as scheming as the sea and has a deep cunning. Therefore, when Jiang Chengyi was in the Eastern Prefecture Department, he was most careful of this person and did not dare to have a close relationship with him. Tong Liang, who was also born as a commoner, suddenly became the head of the Eastern Prefecture Department, had no favoritism.

Emperor Wei asked Tong Liang to examine Deng's case... He had already continued to favor Deng's family in an open mind. The situation in the palace was three worse than he expected.

But in a moment, Cui Qian brought Tong Liang, who was dealing with matters in the inner palace.

A yell from the attendant came from the door: "The Yellow Gate Minister—Tong Liang is here."

Everyone turned around and looked towards the gate of the South Hall. A young man in the robes of the minister and standing upright stood outside the hall, bowing to the Emperor of Wei who was sitting on the high platform before the threshold and bowing to the emperor of Wei on the bed: "My teacher, Tong Liang, pay homage to Your Majesty!" He bent his body to the lowest point, obeyed the etiquette, and did not dare to get up at will.

It was not until Emperor Wei called out, "No need to be polite, enter the palace." Tong Liang dared to straighten his body and walk into the palace.

Jiang Chengyi looked sad and hid in the crowd and stared at the young man's every move, locking his eyebrows.

After Tong Liang and everyone stood below the ninth stairs, the young man on the emperor's bed was too lazy to raise his eyelids, and directly told him in a hoarse voice: "Tong Liang obeys the order. I ordered you to strictly review and finalize all files, personal and physical evidence of the Hongnong case within a day and a night. At this time tomorrow, I will inform me of the final result. If there is any falsehood in the case file, all the officials of the Tingwei Mansion in the main hall will be allowed to deal with and convict you."

Tong Liang looked shocked, as if he hadn't expected Emperor Wei to say this, and said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty said... will the person deal with it? Including... Dou Tingwei?"

When Dou Yuelan heard him mention him, he immediately raised his ears, turned his head, and looked at him with his light. Tong Liang's eyes shone, as if he had found a chance to take revenge. He clenched his sleeves tightly, and his palms gradually turned into fists.

Dou Yuelan was startled behind her. When she glanced at him in the afterglow, she subconsciously looked at the Emperor Wei on the steps.

The young emperor sitting on the couch raised his eyebrows slightly, seemed to bend his lips, and murmured in a low voice: "Yes, including Dou Tingwei."

After the playful words finished, Emperor Wei slowly turned his head and looked to the right, which happened to be intertwined with Dou Yuelan's eyes, with a hint of obscurity in his eyes.

Dou Yuelan was shocked and his whole body was tense. He never expected that Emperor Wei would give power to Tong Liang so far. Jiang Chengyi, who was standing in the center of the magistrate of the Tingwei, was also a little frightened. He thought that even if Emperor Wei wanted to protect Deng, he would take into account the advice of his ministers and would not do it arbitrarily. But now, in order to find a breakthrough in various cases committed by Deng and save water and fire, Emperor Wei did not directly consider Dou Yuelan's situation, and even handed over the power of punishment to Tong Liang?

Before entering the palace, he said with Dou Yuelan with great certainty: For the sake of his family power, Emperor Wei was afraid of three points and would not really do anything to him... But he didn't expect that the moment of slapping the face would come so soon?

Tong Liang... was too powerful to take charge, and relied on his favor, he was glorious in the capital, acted extremely unconventional. Dou Yuelan once impeached him in court for his use of his power and oppressing innocent people.

Therefore, there is a great rift between the two, which can be described as enemies.

At present, Dou Yuelan just reported the Hongnong case truthfully, and Emperor Wei entrusted the matter to Tong Liang. So tomorrow, if he rushed out of the crowd, took off his clothes and took the blame to commit crimes... When Chengming was injustice... I wonder how Emperor Wei would get angry and how to punish Dou Yuelan who helped him enter the palace?

Jiang Chengyi had a little doubt about the original plan in his heart, and he immediately lowered his head, tightened his body, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Tong Liang immediately said excitedly: "I respect the imperial edict, and will definitely carefully check the files of the Hongnong case, and strictly interrogate the officials and witnesses of the Tingwei Office."

Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows again, grinned his lips and said lightly: "Tong Qing must keep his promise, check it carefully little by little. I will wait with you today and night in this southern palace to watch the case."

When Tong Liang heard this, his body trembled suddenly. He looked up inadvertently and saw the young emperor slowly opening his eyes, his eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were raised, his thin lips were curled, and he was smiling at him.

That smile makes people shudder.

Tong Liang immediately put away his thoughts, lowered his head, lifted up the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground, and replied in a frightened manner: "I, I obey the order."

Jiang Chengyi and Dou Yuelan's mood at this moment was like waves, rising and falling, each holding his feet to breathe, not daring to move rashly.

Hearing Tong Liang's answer, Emperor Wei continued to close his eyes and lay on the imperial couch to rest.
