Yongjiafang, where Yang Guozhong's mansion is located, is only separated by a palace wall from the Xingqing Palace where the Son of Heaven lives, but since the fire in the Xingqing Palace, Li Longji has moved back to Daming Palace to live, because Yang Guozhong's desire to see the Son of Heaven is not as convenient as before.

In addition to the fangmen, there is also a curfew city defense, since the Shenwu Army supervised the patrol, even if the officials and relatives are not allowed to go without the holy order, even if they are the prime minister, it is difficult to give preferential treatment. The day before, Wei Jiansu, a servant of the door, was arrested and embarrassed because His Majesty saw that the Son of Heaven was late to leave the palace, and he forgot to ask the Yellow Gate in the palace for an official document stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven.

However, now that Qin Jin, the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army, has been convicted and imprisoned, his life and death are uncertain, and the rules he has set are without the support of the Son of Heaven, who will deliberately abide by them?

Yang Guozhong hesitated, but still ordered the slaves to leave Yongjiafang, and went north and went straight to Daming Palace.

……

Tonight is a difficult night for many people, and Pei Jing is also one of them. After Zhonglang entered the palace, he was inexplicably imprisoned by the Son of Heaven, and it was not until after noon that the exact news came out from Zhongshu Province, and it was Zhonglang who impeached Prime Minister Yang Guozhong, which angered the Son of Heaven.

Up and down the Shenwu Army, people were panicked for a while, and they lost the main general of the first army, and these children of the family who were like wolves and tigers were as if they had lost their backbone, and they were uneasy. But at such a critical moment, the effect of the Shenwu Army's emphasis on military discipline was immediately apparent.

Although the forbidden soldiers had more or less doubts, none of them evaded the night because of this, and the forbidden soldiers on duty were still divided into dozens of teams as yesterday, patrolling the streets between the various squares and cities.

However, overnight, the number of people who deliberately violated the curfew surged to 10 times that of yesterday, and these violators were all children of high-ranking officials and relatives without exception.

The forbidden soldiers who patrolled the detachment were also from high backgrounds, so how could they care about such a threat, lock up all those who tried to provoke, and escort them to the forbidden garden.

Pei Jing was not on duty tonight, but just in case, he still went out in person to patrol the streets outside Shengye, Yongjia and other important squares. After all, these squares are inhabited by the most prominent figures in the imperial court, and they must not be taken lightly, in case of a slight accident, they will cause trouble to Zhonglang.

It's just that Pei Jing underestimated the trouble he was about to face tonight, and when the news of dozens of malicious provocations was summarized to him one by one, he couldn't help but gasp. Whether or not the rules set by Qin Jin in the Shenwu Army should be implemented or not soon faced internal doubts.

"People are dead, and now Zhonglang will be unable to protect himself, why should we offend these sons and daughters?"

It was Dugu Yanxi, whom Pei Jing had always respected, who spoke, but this kind of yin and yang weird emphasis made him very uncomfortable.

"How does Brother Dugu think the younger brother should decide?"

Dugu Yanxi snorted, "Jun is the captain, you should make your own decisions, how dare you go beyond the bounds?"

Since Dugu Yanxi was liberated from restricted activities and joined the Shenwu Army, Pei Jing has felt very strange to this former eldest brother.

Pei Jing only said that it was difficult for him to adapt to the changes in his body for a while, so he was very tolerant and respectful in discussing with him, but in exchange, in addition to light words, there was only intentional or unintentional mockery.

Today, Dugu Yanxi took the lead to question the rules that Zhonglang would formulate, which has touched Pei Jing's bottom line, and he has brought unprecedented dissatisfaction in his words. Dugu Yanxi may have heard his dissatisfaction, and even avoided the questioning for the first time.

Pei Jing's voice was cold, and he called out to the north wind tonight.

"Everyone listens to the order, and if anyone violates the military rules tonight, they will all be punished severely, without mercy, and they can all hear clearly?"

"Clear!"

The dozens of cavalry forbidden soldiers who followed behind Pei Jing responded in unison. Dugu Yanxi, who was on a par with Pei Jing, couldn't help but shudder, and his horse speed slowed down.

Just out of Changlefang Street, I saw a car and ten riders coming from a distance.

Dugu Yanxi muttered behind Pei Jing, "There's a good show to watch!"

Under the light of the fire, the flags flickered brightly and darkly, and Dugu Yanxi's eyes exuded a strange look under the cover of the night.

As soon as he explained the strict order, some ministers of the DPRK and China openly violated it, and Pei Jing stubbornly urged the horse to meet him. Through the specifications of the carriage and the flamboyant flags, he had a vague premonition that this person's status must not be low. However, when he drove the horse to the front of the car, he was even more shocked, and it was Yang Guozhong, the prime minister who Zhonglang would impeach desperately, who hit him tonight.

Pei Jing seemed to hear the chuckle of Dugu Yanxi behind him, intentionally or unintentionally, which exuded a thick schadenfreude.

According to the curfew law, the important minister will be fined ten gold if he breaks the ban!"

Pei Jing felt that his voice couldn't stop trembling, punishing the important ministers of the imperial court did not have to be imprisoned in the forbidden garden, it was just an understatement fine of ten gold. When Qin Jin formulated the punishment law, he did not intend to be lenient, but the Son of Heaven demanded that the dignity of important ministers must be preserved, and at this point, he could not do the almost extreme strictness of Shang Ying, so he could only adopt a compromise method.

Even so, just a fine of ten gold is a loss of dignity for these prime ministers and ministers. It is said that the prime minister, who had always been known for his good temper, was so angry that he heard the movement in the other mansions of Shengyefang after returning to the Shengyefang mansion.

The horse guarding the car in front of the car broke off and responded: "Yang Xiang's carriage and horse, who dares to fine?"

Yang Guozhong's guards were all angry, and when they learned that the head of the family planned to break the curfew, they all worked hard to give those lost dogs a dismount, how could they calmly comply?

Pei Jing took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't be good today, but he smiled and said: "According to the law, breaking the curfew should be imprisoned for three days, but the Son of Heaven only gave a symbolic fine of ten gold to the dignity of the important ministers. As the head of the prime minister, how could Yang Xianggong go against the will of the saint?"

As he spoke, he arched his hands far to the right, and his voice suddenly turned sharp.

"The house slave Hugh wants to be rampant, don't pretend to be Yang Xianggong, ruin the name of Xianggong I, and please pay the fine in full, so that you can open the net and wait for the pass. If you insist on violating the ban, don't blame someone for turning his face and being ruthless!"

That immediately, the guard couldn't pick up a word when he was reprimanded by Pei Jing, not that he couldn't answer it, but he didn't dare, and he saw sweat in the palms of his head and hands. Pei Jing kept talking about the saint, who dares to say anything again, in case he falls into the hands of others, he will be completely explained in the rest of his life.

For a moment everyone kept their mouths shut, except for the war-horse snorting in irritation.

Dugu Yanxi seemed to shake his body in disbelief, clasping his hands on his shoulders, but the gloating smile on his face was fading little by little.

After a long time, the curtain in the car was lifted, and an old servant came out, holding a gold nugget in his hand.

"The old slave has no form, fraudulently uses the carriage and horse, and admits punishment!"

Without Pei Jing's signal, a forbidden army had already stepped forward and snatched the gold nugget from the old servant's hand.

When Pei Jing saw that his goal had been achieved, he no longer arbitrarily persecuted each other, and ordered everyone to dodge a passage and let the carriages and horses pass.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Yanxi suddenly shouted, "Lao'er, who else is in the car?" Before the voice fell, the person had already rushed over, reaching out to pick up the curtain of the car.

Pei Jing was shocked, his heart was going to be bad, once the curtain was raised, I am afraid that tonight's events will be difficult to be good before the Son of Heaven drives, in case it will affect Zhonglang again......

Unexpectedly, Dugu Yanxi suddenly lost his horse's front hooves, and the whole person fell from the horse like a green onion, and the war horse kicked for a while before he settled down. It was Yang Xing who kicked on the horse's leg in a hurry, fortunately Dugu Yanxi was not caught by the horse, otherwise he would have to be crippled if he didn't die.

However, the initiator Yang Xingben said with concern: "Brother Dugu is not careful, don't ride a horse again after drinking! How ......about the little brother help Brother Dugu to sober up?" Yang Xingben was not treated by Dugu Yanxi before, and he was bullied a lot, but today he finally got the opportunity and ridiculed him fiercely. Dugu Yanxi was embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

At the same time, Yang Guozhong's carriage and horses set off in a sparkling manner, and he no longer entangled with it, if the true identity of the prime minister was revealed, he would really lose his ugly face, and there would be no room for turnaround.

Along the way, Yang Guozhong counted the account of eating a dumb loss on Qin Jin's head, and made up his mind that when he met the Son of Heaven, he would arrange him ruthlessly.

However, to Yang Guozhong's surprise, the Son of Heaven blocked him from the Daming Palace on the grounds of sleeping peacefully.

The Son of Heaven has the habit of going to bed late, and often he will not sleep until the first moment of the ugly time......

Yang Guozhong's face was blue, and he said two words to the driver coldly: "Go back!"

An ominous cloud immediately enveloped his heart, but he couldn't understand why the Son of Heaven had suddenly become cold to him since he had detained Qin Jin?

Yang Guozhong was puzzled, and his heart was like hanging fifteen buckets, seven up and eight down, difficult to calm down.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, a eunuch entered the palace to announce the edict of the Son of Heaven, ordering him to take over the Shenwu Army and continue to carry out the inspection of Chang'an.

After the eunuch who preached the edict left, Yang Guozhong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the boulder that had been hanging in his heart all night fell to the ground. Since the Son of Heaven ordered him to take charge of Qin Jin's Shenwu Army, it means that the Holy Grace is still there, and there is no need to worry about the coming of disaster.

Although it is necessary to implement the rules and regulations formulated by Qin and Jin, compared with the former, these unhappiness can be ignored.

……

Shengye Fang Wei Mansion, Wei Wan returned to the small building in the garden, raised her hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on her cheeks and neck with a sweat towel, the snow-white skin exposed between her neck was red powder, and a few strands of hair were slightly messy and attached to her forehead and sideburns. Her mind is still worried elsewhere at the moment, she has just returned from the house of the eldest princess of Huo Guo, and the eldest princess has already promised to intercede with the Son of Heaven on his behalf.

After all, he had saved the life of the eldest princess's only son, and the eldest princess listened to what Wei Wan asked, and agreed without thinking about it.

This made her rejoice for a while. But after the joy passed, anxiety came back to my heart

Suddenly there was the voice of his brother Wei Qi behind him.

"Ah Mei said for Qin Jin, don't let your father know, otherwise you have to be grounded!"
