"The emperor has arrived!" The eunuch's sharp voice shouted outside, and everyone in the hall stopped talking and laughing in an instant, and they all left the table and knelt on the ground, and only after the emperor sat down on the throne did everyone get up and sit back in their seats. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe two empty tables on the left and right of the imperial staircase are only sitting at this moment. On the side of the prince of the family, the heads of the family are naturally seated, and on the other side are several princes and the princes of the clan with prominent status, but the prince of the East Palace is missing.

There has always been such a saying in the country of Chu, the emperor and the family rule the world together. Earlier, when the country was founded, there were nine extremely noble families, more than 200 years later, the royal family still sat on this dragon chair, and the nine families were still in power. The idea of the Chu people's family is quite heavy, and the origin of the family is the dignity of one top one. The ninth family is headed by the Su family, and it is the co-head of the family, and the current head of the Su family is Su Lan and Su Jun's grandfather, who has gone through two dynasties and is nearly sixty years old.

The emperor on the throne was pale, with a sickly red on his cheeks, and he was dressed in a dragon robe, and it was difficult to hide the tiredness on his face, obviously because he was not in good health. The emperor has been in deterioration since a cold last year, and at the age of less than sixty, it seems that there is not much time left. A few days ago, I was even more angry, and it is said that in the past few days, I seem to have vomited blood.

The emperor was in good spirits tonight, and he had a rare smile on his face. After saying a few words to the ministers, they also drank a cup with several family heads with great interest, and after drinking, they called for a banquet. There was a lot of singing and dancing in the hall, and it seemed that no one saw the empty seat under the imperial steps, and as for the uproar in the court a few days ago, no one mentioned it.

On the side of the family, people came and went to toast, but Su Lan only smiled and sat aside with a wine glass, although he was speechless, no one could ignore this handsome and excessive person. The face is thin, a pair of phoenix eyes seem to contain the starlight of heaven and earth, the eyebrow color is slightly light, but it is obliquely long into the sideburns, it seems that the whole person is a little far away, the nose bridge is extremely high, the lip color is like Zhu, the face is like jade, the lines of the side face are very good-looking, it seems to be carved out, and the chin is slightly raised, which only makes people feel very noble.

Su Lan's eyes were shrouded in a layer of mist, misty, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at the moment, holding the wine glass in one hand, but the other hand was slightly raised, gently knocking on his lap. The hand stopped, and his gaze drifted to the person on the table on the other side of the imperial steps, the man's eyes were warm, and he made a touch of his gaze, only nodded slightly, Su Lan's hand knocked again, and then a cry sounded outside the hall, and the "da-da" sound of the boots quickly stepped on the ground cut through the song and dance.

"What's the matter, I lost my physique!" Wang Yu, the head of the Wang family, snorted, and preemptively reprimanded the person who rushed into the temple in a snowflake, "Shangyuan Festival, shocked the holy driver, can you afford it?"

With such a look, everyone knew that something was wrong, and Wang Yu's opening made it impossible for this person to report to the emperor alone, so he had to tell everyone about it in this hall. Su Lan only smiled faintly, taking in the full look of the audience.

"Your Majesty. The snowflakes under the man's body were melted by the heat of the hall, but everyone saw that this person was wearing the color of the six-grade Beijing official uniform, and if he looked closely, it was Jingzhao Yin Lu's subordinates, "The next official is Jingzhao Yin Liupin Sima Liu An, the matter is urgent, and he has to risk his death to break into the palace, I really dare not delay, please Your Majesty punish the crime." ”

"Since you said that the matter is urgent, let me say that you have to wait with all of you here, and whether you will punish the crime or not, let us discuss it later. The emperor's voice was weak, hoarse but a little as sharp as before.

"Yes. The man kowtowed and said, "Three quarters of an hour ago, the cell held by Jiang Yuan, the sinner in Jingzhao Yin's prison, was broken into by the assassins, and none of the jailers guarding Jiang Yuan were spared, Jiang Yuan was seriously injured by the assassins. ”

"Bastard!" the emperor waved his sleeves and swept away the wine glass on the case, shouting angrily, and the blush on his face was even more victorious, "Are you all dead?

"Your Majesty is angry. The man who fell on his knees on the ground trembled and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty is angry. Zheng Yu's father, Zheng Duo, the head of the Zheng family, slowly got up, and after the emperor nodded, he asked, "How many assassins are there? Can you be captured alive? What kind of appearance does the imperial doctor say?

Zheng Duo is now nearly forty years old, his complexion is clear, there is no trace of old age, those peach blossom eyes and Zheng Yu are really the same, although the father and son are similar in appearance, their temperament is completely different. Zheng Duo is not like the head of a family, but more like the head of the academy, with a gentle complexion and elegance, even at this moment, it makes people feel like a spring breeze, but such a person is the secretary of the criminal department who is in charge of punishment.

"There were four assassins, and when we were about to enter, two of them fought with us, one of them took the opportunity to escape, and the other went to assassinate Jiang Yuan, but he had not yet succeeded, so he hurriedly stabbed Jiang Yuan with a sword. Fortunately, the Yulin guard patrolled the four gates of Gyeonggi, and when they heard the news, they came to help us capture the three assassins, and the escapees have also sent people to chase them. It's just that General Yulin Wei Song failed to stop him, and the three of them have already committed suicide. Liu An's expression eased, and his words became clearer, and after the words fell, he slammed his head on the ground and called it a capital crime.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, but it was just a moment as usual, life and death were really not on the front line with these people, but the three words of Yu Linwei suddenly got into their ears, and when they heard the word suicide, their expressions were different.

The middle-aged man at the family table had a rather heavy expression, his gaze swept over Su Lan and Prince Rui Nalan Rui opposite, and the hand under the table trembled imperceptibly.

"Yu Linwei?" Zheng Duo repeated these words, with a bit of solemnity in his expression, and looked at Su Lan.

Su Lan looked at him, and after seeing the faint smile hidden in the scrutiny, he had to get up slowly and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the seventh of the first month of the minister received His Majesty's order, and Yu Linwei took over the guards of the four gates of Kyoto, three quarters of an hour ago, it should be the time for the change of guard, so it makes sense that Yu Linwei encountered this matter." ”

"Su Lan. A gleam crossed the emperor's cloudy eyes.

"The minister is here. ”

"Since Yu Linwei ran into it, and Jiang Yuan's case was stabbed out by you, I will let you take a good look. There was a bit of incomprehension in the emperor's tone, "In addition, Xuanxi took care of Jiang Yuan with three hundred divine troops, and supervised this matter with Su Lan." This time, you'll have to show me a good look. ”

"Minister, obey the order. Su Lan bowed slowly, her movements were slightly sticky, and she fell in the eyes of everyone, and she really read a little embarrassed.

After giving Zheng Duo a few more orders, the emperor's face was obviously tired, and he only heard him sigh heavily and said: "That's it, I am not feeling well today, so I will take the first step, the third child, and leave me to greet the ministers." ”

The man in the prince's robe stood up and stepped forward, smiling elegantly, with sincere and warm concern in his expression, and personally carried the emperor into the apse, and then returned to the banquet in the front hall.

"On the Shangyuan Festival, the ministers and workers did not live up to the beautiful scenery of this good night. The man stood under the imperial steps, inviting the ministers to toast, his expression was still elegant and unchanged, wearing a prince's costume, but there was also a cordial attitude in the majesty of the royal family, only felt that this person was like a gentleman in the bamboo forest, and it was like a spring breeze when people looked at it.

The ministers toasted with him and waited for him to sit down, but they had no intention of feasting. The singing and dancing in this hall is just whitewashing, decoration, and peace, and the assassination of this Jiangyuan tonight is the window paper that pierced the scorching situation in the government and the opposition, and now the emperor is so weak that he can no longer suppress the party struggle in the court.
