Chapter 533: War breaks out again, property transfer
"I have another clue! A mysterious man in black came to see the Second Young Master! I heard him tell the Second Young Master that as long as the Second Young Master cooperates with him, they will take care of the rest, and the Prince will definitely die! This man must be the mastermind behind this! The Second Young Master is at most an accomplice, and his crime does not deserve the death penalty!"
"Master Lu, think about it. These people are so arrogant that they dare to commit murder in the imperial capital under the feet of the emperor. If the real culprit is not found, what a huge hidden danger this will be! If they dare to assassinate the prince, they dare to assassinate the emperor!"
Lu Hongru trembled, and a layer of worry suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Lord Lu, you are impartial and can tell the loyal from the treacherous. You will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will you let a bad person go! Please review this case, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and eliminate those hidden dangers!" Ming'er kowtowed to Lord Lu repeatedly.
"Help her up quickly." Lu Hongru gave an order.
Someone got off the carriage and helped Ming'er up.
"Master Lu, I have one more request. Please protect me. If I leave the imperial capital quietly and hide my identity, those people may let me go. But if I make trouble in front of you, they will definitely kill me and silence me!"
Lu Hongru nodded and said, "You are right. How about this? You stay in my house first. I will guarantee your safety."
"Thank you, Lord Lu!" Ming'er knelt down and kowtowed again.
After watching Ming'er being brought into the mansion by Lu Hongru, the people from the Duke's Mansion left quietly.
There are not many people in the imperial capital who can make people wholeheartedly willful, and Lu Hongru is definitely one of them.
Because no one can bribe him.
Be stubborn.
Early morning on the second day.
Lu Hongru proposed a retrial of the case in front of all the civil and military officials.
What he said was so well-reasoned that people could not find any reason to refute it.
After he finished speaking, the court fell into silence, and everyone could sense that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
"Your Majesty." Rong Yuchuan stepped forward and stood up. "I think what Lord Lu said makes sense. If the real murderer has not been caught and is hiding in the imperial capital, it will be a huge hidden danger and even threaten the safety of Your Majesty! It is better to let Lord Lu investigate it thoroughly."
"Yes, Your Majesty, looking at the actions of these assassins this time, they are reckless and lawless. If we don't investigate them, it will really make us sleepless at night." Marquis Wuyang also stood up and said something.
"Your Majesty, I second the motion." Luo Haoqing also stood up and added a sentence.
Soon, more and more people stood up.
Before, Prime Minister Qin had pleaded for Xiao Jincheng, but now, he had nothing to say.
When Xiao Jincheng was guilty, they still wanted to spare his life. Now that Xiao Jincheng is no longer the mastermind behind the crime, they have even less reason not to agree to a retrial of the case.
In the end, the emperor was forced to agree to Lu Hongru's retrial of the case.
After the court session, the emperor ordered people to intercept and bring back those who were heading to Huaiyang.
This time, he lost.
He also knew that this was all Ji Chuhe's trick.
This was the first time he suffered such a big loss since he ascended the throne.
But he didn't order nor was he angry.
Forget it, let Xiao Yan'an live a few more days.
"Chao Sihai, let's deal with all those people."
"Yes." Chao Sihai responded immediately.
……
Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Yanan had just changed the medicine, and his whole body was soaked with pain.
After the court doctor left, Ji Chuhe picked up a handkerchief, wet it, and wiped the prince's face lightly.
Xiao Yan'an immediately felt a lot more refreshed.
"Thank you, ma'am." Xiao Yan'an thanked her somewhat embarrassedly.
"You're welcome, Prince." Ji Chuhe responded calmly.
"Madam, as long as the emperor agrees to re-examine the case, this matter will be temporarily over. The news may not even reach my father."
"Father and mother will get the news from here. As long as we are in the imperial capital, they will be concerned about us."
"Yeah." Xiao Yan'an nodded, "I don't know when we can return to Huaiyang."
"We will definitely be able to go back." Ji Chuhe's tone was extremely firm.
"Madam, if we re-examine this case, I don't think we will get any results. Xiao Jincheng will never dare to give up the emperor. If he still has a bit of brains, he will insist that he doesn't know who is behind this and drag this case on."
“I think this is how it ended up.”
"My mother's caravan should be arriving soon, right?"
"It will be soon. The fastest batch should arrive in three days. Just take good care of your injuries, my lord. I will take care of the outside affairs."
"Yeah." Xiao Yan'an nodded with relief.
When the first caravan arrived at the imperial capital, the emperor also announced in the court that he would fight against the Hu bandits.
This news shocked the government and the public.
Marquis Wuyang was the first to stand up and oppose.
"Your Majesty, I think that at this time, foreign threats are no longer a concern. Your Majesty should take our advice and make reforms like Huaiyang did, so that the people can fill their stomachs. Huaiyang can feed the people with the fields in the mountains, and other counties in Daxia can naturally do the same. Your Majesty should pay attention to the life and death of the people!"
"Your Majesty, the northern border is now guarded by a large army, so we have no need to worry about the barbarians coming to harass us. This year, we have just suffered a flood, and our crops have almost failed. The people also need to recuperate. If we go to war, it will inevitably consume a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Now is really not a good time to start a war." Luo Haoqing also stood up.
"Your Majesty, I do not advocate war either."
In just a short while, dozens of ministers stood up to oppose.
The emperor did not respond. He sat on the dragon throne and looked at the ministers standing below.
According to Shen Chengjing, the war with the Hu bandits has been delayed for nearly a year. In the previous life, the war with the Hu bandits went smoothly and it didn't take long before they won a great victory.
This shows that at that time, the Hu bandits had no ability to resist.
In this life, after a year's delay, things might change. After all, the Hu bandits have an extra year of breathing time. The war must not be delayed any longer!
The longer you delay, the greater the variables will be.
"Your Majesty, I advocate war." Prime Minister Qin stood up with a firm tone.
"Your Majesty is determined to go to war with the Hu bandits for the sake of the stability of our Great Xia Dynasty. With the Hu bandits eyeing our northern part, how can the people live and work in peace? It is better to get rid of this major threat and then develop domestic affairs!"
"Prime Minister Qin is right! As officials of Great Xia and the people of Great Xia, we should all remember how the Hu bandits invaded our territory and massacred our people. This blood feud must be avenged! The people should support this war and use the whole country's strength to win this war! Let the Hu bandits completely submit to Great Xia!"
