He thought that he was willing to give up anything for Xu Wanzhen's sake. But when he saw Emperor Qinglong, who was weak on the sickbed, his heart was tightly pinched.

It turned out that he was not as strong as he thought he was, and he didn't care like that.

For her, the pride of being willing to let the world scold disappeared when she came into contact with Emperor Qinglong's loving eyes.

If he really had another chance to choose, he really didn't know how to choose.

This is an unsolvable answer.

Wu Zhengxiang buried his head, and the night wind whistled over his head, blowing his black hair tied behind his head into the air. He didn't use his internal strength, and let the cold wind take away his body temperature.

In such cold, he reflected on the mistakes he had made, felt guilty and blamed himself, revealing a rare weak side.

On this side, he didn't want anyone to see. Including Emperor Qinglong, Wu Sheng, and Xu Wanzhen.

Especially Xu Wanzhen, she is so smart. Even if he only leaked a trace of emotion, he would be perceived by her. Although the two never mentioned it, he knew her guilt and uneasiness.

This incident has caused harm to both of them. He had no intention of aggravating her anxiety because of his carelessness.

This hardship, let yourself taste it slowly.

The only thing he could do was to catch Jiang Chen as soon as possible. His resourcefulness is the only opponent he has ever seen in his life. As long as he is brought to justice, Wu Zhengxiang does not believe that there will be a second Jiang Chen.

It's a pity that Jiang Chen's guy is really cunning.

The soldiers sent by Han Yi traced his traces, but unfortunately he was killed on the road, leaving only an arrow pointing to the ruined temple where he had been staying.

This ruined temple has been turned upside down by the Xiao Cavalry Guard and the Shadow Guard, but no new clues have been found.

Jiang Chen took people to stay there, but unfortunately, after that, it was like evaporating from the world, leaving no trace. The two roads around the ruined temple have no ruts and no footprints. A heavy rain made him disappear into the world.

The people in the Hu Family Theater were all arrested by the Xiao Cavalry Guards. But from the head of the team to the handyman in the theater, they all knew nothing about Jiang Chen.

His sudden disappearance made Hu Bantou also very flustered. Without pillars and guests who came to Jiang Yulang, the business of the theater plummeted.

There were all kinds of signs, as if Jiang Chen had disappeared and did not dare to make any more trouble.

However, Wu Zhengxiang was sure that after the failure of the celebration banquet he planned, Jiang Chen must have been dormant somewhere, quietly planning the next attack.

Does he have to wait until next time before he can see the move?

Wu Zhengxiang clenched his fists hatefully and drank a lot of wine, this kind of taste of sitting and waiting to be killed was really uncomfortable.

……

Zhiyuan was in the middle, and Qingmai took a oilcloth package from the outer courtyard and walked towards the main house where Xu Wanzhen was.

"Young lady, the second son came to say that there was something to do tonight and he was resting at the yamen. She presented the oilcloth package and said, "This is what the second son brought back to his wife, saying that it was Jin Nanhou's intention." ”

Jin Nanhou, isn't it the father of that Lei Ba?

Xu Wanzhen opened the oilcloth package and saw that it was neatly packed with silver tickets with a denomination of five hundred taels.

Suddenly seeing so many silver tickets, Bai Yao, who was dismantling Xu Wanzhen's bun, gasped and was startled.

Xu Wanzhen didn't care, Lei Ba was still locked up in the edict prison, so he couldn't wait for Jinnan. It is rumored in Beijing that Jinnan is a good man, and his wife has not given birth for many years.

He is such a precious lone seedling, no matter how much it costs, he will fish out Lei Ba.

Fortunately, Jin Nanhou made a fortune at sea, and there is nothing else, and there must be no shortage of money. Wu Zhengxiang also found him before and asked the Xu family to get involved in the maritime business.

At this time, it was reversed, and it was Jinnan's turn to beg Wu Zhengxiang.

It's really feng shui in turns, endlessly. Xu Wanzhen hid the smile on her face and asked Bai Yao to put the silver ticket in the box and lock it.

……

On the second day, Yao Shangshu entered the Xuanzheng Hall with his eyes blue and a chapter in his arms.

He glanced at Emperor Qinglong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and saw that he was still the same, his face was gray and his expression was depressed, and he couldn't guess what he really thought in his heart.

"Wechen has seen the emperor. Because it was not a court meeting, Yao Shangshu did not perform the ceremony of kneeling three times and bowing nine times. After Wu Guangqi shouted flat on behalf of Emperor Qinglong, he got up.

"Your Majesty," he said, holding his hands high and bowing his head to present the recital.

In any case, it's too late to regret it! This has been discussed for a whole night, and the masters think it is the best choice.

Wu Guangqi picked up the piece and put it on the imperial case. Emperor Qinglong glanced at Yao Shangshu, who was very tight, and suddenly smiled, and said, "Look at the seat." ”

Yao Shangshu was originally ready to meet the final result, but he didn't expect that Emperor Qinglong did not read his recital, but asked people to take a seat for him.

This kind of taste is like a punch on cotton, which is very uncomfortable.

Originally, he was mentally prepared, but the expected scene did not come, which made him extremely uneasy.

It's like a death row prisoner who has already eaten a severed head, knowing that he is going to die, but the butcher's knife has not fallen for a long time. This kind of psychological torture is far more than the pleasure of slashing it with a knife.

Dipping his ass half over the edge of the stool, he sat cautiously.

"There's no hurry. Only then did Emperor Qinglong slowly say: "There are still some people who are coming, you should listen to their opinions." ”

Yao Shangshu didn't know what he meant, and waited in the quiet hall for a long time, he was like sitting on pins and needles, and cold sweat flowed from the back ditch on his body, before he heard the sound from outside.

"Wechen knocks on the emperor!"

The burly and respectful Dingguo Gong, the heroic and high-spirited Zhongguo Gong, the low-key and gentle An Guogong, and the Pingguo Gong who was hollowed out by the wine, the four great princes appeared together.

Xun Gui Chen, as a unique existence in the Gaomang Dynasty, is the most reassuring but also the most wary force of the emperor.

They are all military generals, and they used to hold heavy soldiers, but there is no shadow of them in the court. They enjoyed the royal blessings and were glorified by the great deeds of their predecessors.

When he arrived at Emperor Qinglong, he reused the loyalty of the Duke of Zhongguo, beware of the Duke of Dingguo, raised the Duke of Ping, and Shi Wei'an, and used the art of the emperor well, so that the four major princes could not be in the same breath.

The nobles are not allowed to enter the court unless they are edicted. Except for major pilgrimage days such as ancestor worship and festivals, the four great princes almost did not appear in the palace at the same time.

The four great princes appeared together, and Yao Shangshu couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up and stood aside.

Immediately, there was another sound of footsteps, and this time there were more people. Yao Shangshu lowered his eyes and saw that all the nobles in Luoyang City were here.

Gong, Hou, and Uncle, none of them are bad. The Xuanzheng Hall is not small, but at this time in the apse, as soon as these people come in, they seem crowded.

However, everyone knows that the current military situation is urgent and the situation is tense.

What is the purpose of the emperor's urgent summons?
