Chang Wenyan has lived happily all these years. Although he was not as reused by the emperor as Zhuo Jingye, he was not lost. After all, he married the emperor's cousin, and he was a relative of the emperor, and the emperor was the happiest with him at the annual royal gathering. The emperor treated him differently from other imperial relatives.

And he is lazy by nature, he doesn't like the intrigue of officialdom, and he doesn't want to take on too much responsibility, and now his life is just right, and he goes to the Hanlin Academy every day to see the collection of books, where there are many lonely books that the people can't find.

In his spare time, he writes poems and paints, accompanies his wife and young children, and his life cannot be too happy.

But now, his wonderful life has been shattered.

The emperor gave him two choices: should he help his father-in-law or the emperor?

It is said that there are two choices, but in fact there is only one.

If he chooses to help his father-in-law, he won't be able to leave the palace at all.

Even if he chose the emperor, he was given a pill by the emperor to prevent him from betraying and go to the prince of Shun to inform.

Chang Wenyan looked up to the sky and sighed: He is too difficult!

Back at home, the county lord of Zhaoyue hugged their little daughter and came to Chang Wenyan to play with a smile.

The little girl is only two years old now, and she looks so cute that people love it when they look at it.

Chang Wenyan would be happy every time he went home and saw his daughter, and played with his daughter for a while, but this time, Chang Wenyan hugged his daughter, but he was not in the mood to play.

"Xianggong, what's wrong with you? But what's the trouble?" Seeing Chang Wenyan's appearance, the county lord of Zhaoyue asked with concern.

"It's fine. Chang Wenyan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said to the county lord of Zhaoyue, "The ninth of next month is my mother-in-law's birthday, have you prepared a birthday gift?" ”

"Okay, then you can draw a picture. The princess loves your paintings. Lord Zhaoyue said with a smile. Next month is Princess Shun's forty-second birthday, not the whole year's birthday, so it won't be half of it. But the county lord of Zhaoyue and Chang Wenyan, as daughters and sons-in-law, naturally wanted to go back to celebrate Princess Shun's birthday.

On the day of Princess Shun's birthday, Chang Wenyan and Lord Zhaoyue came to King Shun's mansion.

Chang Wenyan had something in his heart, he was extremely nervous, and he was a little stiff when he walked.

The county lord of Zhaoyue looked at Chang Wenyan worriedly and asked, "Xianggong, are you not feeling well? The mother will understand. ”

"Nope. Chang Wenyan hurriedly shook his head, he still had a task to do, how could he not go?

"I'm fine. How can I, as a son-in-law, not go on my mother-in-law's birthday? Don't worry, I won't force myself if something happens. ”

The county lord of Zhaoyue didn't say anything more when he heard this, but he was still worried in his heart, so he didn't notice that there were two eyed people who followed her and Chang Wenyan into the Shunwang Mansion.

These two people infiltrated King Shun's mansion and went to the study to find evidence. The emperor would not send Chang Wenyan to help him find evidence, just Chang Wenyan is such a weak scholar, he is afraid that he will be discovered by others as soon as he approaches Prince Shun's study.

On the birthday of the princess on this side, even the prince of Shun will also have a banquet. Chang Wenyan tried his best to persuade Prince Shun to drink. He used to mix with green houses and restaurants, and the amount of alcohol was very good. Prince Shun had no defense against Chang Wenyan, so he got drunk with him.

Princess Shun left Prince Shun in her courtyard to rest. The two people who followed Chang Wenyan into the mansion had also entered the study of Prince Shun.

These two people are the secret worship of the royal family, and not only are they powerful, but they also have ways to find mechanisms and secret rooms. After a while, they found Mige, and found the jade hairpin that represented the military talisman and the letter of collusion between the prince and the Tatars.

The two of them took away the talisman and the letter, returned to the place where the subordinates were staying, and stared at Chang Wenyan and the county lord of Zhaoyue casually and led them out of the Shunwang Mansion.

The county lord of Zhaoyue chatted with Princess Shun for an afternoon, and after dinner, he took his leave and left.

Prince Shun slept for an afternoon and dissipated the smell of alcohol, but he was still a little dizzy, he didn't eat much for dinner, and fell asleep again.

Chang Wenyan walked out of the palace and turned his head to look behind.

Others thought he was looking at the gate of the palace, but in fact he was looking at two more spies.

One of them nodded slightly towards Chang Wenyan, who breathed a sigh of relief.

After the two followed Chang Wenyan back to Chang's house, they changed their clothes and went to the palace to hand over the talisman and letters to the emperor.

When the emperor saw the letter, a sneer curled into his mouth.

His good imperial uncle!

It's a shame that he is so courteous, but this person is a wolf with ambition.

Fortunately, he listened to his father's words and was wary of these people.

The emperor gave the talisman to one of them, and the man went out of the palace with the talisman and went to subdue the private soldiers raised by Prince Cheng and now raised by Prince Shun.

The emperor was very glad that Prince Cheng got this kind of evidence that only obeyed orders and did not obey a certain person, otherwise he would not know how to subdue Prince Shun's private soldiers. You must know that these private soldiers are well raised and have strong combat effectiveness, and it is a pity that they are wiped out all at once.

The emperor summoned some ministers of the court one after another and gave them orders.

These ministers have been investigated by the emperor and have nothing to do with Prince Shun, and there are some of his henchmen and some who are not. And some of his henchmen were actually bought by Prince Shun.

The emperor was very angry and decided to deal with Prince Shun and then clean up these betrayers.

There was an undercurrent in the court, and Prince Shun and his ministers did not notice anything.

And when Shun Wang opened the secret compartment one day and found that the contents were not there, so he learned to learn that Prince Cheng hastily rebelled, the emperor had already arranged it and invited him into the urn. It is just like when he and Prince Shun joined forces to invite Prince Cheng into the urn.

It's another bloody night.

Chang Wenyan hadn't experienced that night, but he had heard of it, he sat in the lobby of his house, listening to the shouts and killings outside the door, and his mood was extremely complicated.

"Xianggong. The county lord of Zhaoyue walked up to Chang Wenyan worriedly. She didn't know her father's plan at all, and at this time she was just worried that some rebels would break into her home and hurt her family.

Chang Wenyan held the hand of the county lord of Zhaoyue and said tightly: "Lady, no matter what happens, I will be by your side." ”

"Xianggong ......" Lord Zhaoyue was moved.

Chang Wenyan sighed, and only hoped that the emperor would let their family go for the sake of him helping him steal the evidence of Prince Shun's crimes.

"Lady, let's go back to the city. Chang Wenyan said, "I miss the mountains and rivers of Luocheng, I miss the people of Luocheng, and I miss my father." Let's go back to Ruocheng and settle in Ruocheng in the future, okay?"

The county lord of Zhaoyue was curious about why Chang Wenyan suddenly wanted to go back to his hometown, thinking that Chang Wenyan had been bullied by something, and said, "Xianggong, is someone bullying you?" I'll go tell my father and let my father teach you a lesson!"
