Where Xu Yan was willing to put it, as soon as the ape arm was stretched, he took Shen Yu into his arms.

He didn't really want to do anything, but he had been thinking about it all these days, and he was reluctant to part at this time. Out of the door of this divine pavilion, she is still a girl to be married in Mengfu, and he is also the king of Duan who has not yet married. The capital is not as casual as Luling, and he is reluctant to let her be criticized, so he can only try his best to follow the rules.

Such a day is really difficult, he sighed in a low voice: "I really hope that tomorrow is April, and I can marry you into the door." ”

- She was his wife then, and how she loved and tendered, and how she was so delicate that no one dared to disturb her behind closed doors.

Shen Yan smiled and did not speak.

Xu Yan hugged her waist, leaned over and kissed lightly, and when her lips touched, Shen Yan seemed to hear the sound of dust falling.

When the two of them left the Divine Imperial Pavilion, it was already early, so Xu Yan sent Shen Yu to the door of the Meng family's mansion, and saw her enter the mansion, so he turned his horse and left.

In the wax moon, preparations for the New Year are being prepared everywhere, and the streets and alleys are becoming increasingly busy and lively.

At the end of the year, all the government offices in the court are also very busy, sorting out the files of the year, and closing many unfinished things, especially because there is a large-scale book collection this year, and there are many more affairs.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, in such a busy atmosphere, a thunderbolt suddenly came out of the sunny sky -

Jiang Xun, the capital of the cabinet, was urgently summoned into the palace by Emperor Huiping, and the two of them asked questions and answers in the palace alone for half an hour, and then Jiang Ge was imprisoned.

Immediately, a document was issued, listing Jiang Xun's ten counts, and he was even sent to prison without even being tried.

Jiang Ge has been up and down in the court for decades, and he has served in the cabinet over the years, no matter how much he has the reputation of being honest and upright, there is always something that he can't do, and he has been impeached by the courtiers. Emperor Huiping really wanted to find fault with him, it was simply an easy thing to do-

Hundreds of impeachment letters are placed there, and just a few can be convicted. From taking bribes and embezzlement, conniving at the murder of domestic slaves, and focusing on promoting protégés to be suspected of forming a party for personal gain, to the failure of the government decrees he implemented, to the indiscretions in daily life, when he went to court on a certain day in a certain year, his face was not good, his clothes were dirty, he was contemptuous of the court, he was disrespectful to the saints, etc., the things that the imperial historians had accumulated in ordinary times added up to be enough to make up a heinous crime.

Of course, these charges were only written on paperwork, and as for the real reason why Emperor Huiping sent him, few people know.

It was as if a boulder had suddenly been thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves to splash when it landed.

Some people took the opportunity to step on it, and they wanted to give Jiang Xun a hundred and ten charges and ask the emperor to behead him immediately; There are also people who have been conscientious and diligent over the years, and they have begged the emperor for leniency. Some people even saw the trap of this time, and wanted to use Jiang Ge's crime to pour some dirty water on the people who were not in harmony in Su Ri.

There was a commotion outside, and Xu Yan naturally got the news here.

When he was in Luling that day, the words brought by Jiang Ge Lao Tuo Weirong were still in his ears, and Xu Yan did not dare to act rashly. After sitting in the house and thinking about it for a while, he asked someone to prepare a horse and immediately entered the palace to see the driver.

Xu Yan didn't want to explain Jiang Ge Lao, but although he was good at probing the enemy's intelligence, he had never done anything in the palace, so although he knew the news of Jiang Ge Lao's disposal, he didn't know the real reason why he was disposed of.

Emperor Huiping is now in the Lama Temple, the aroma of the incense burner is even worse than before, he did not approve this time, just leaned on the couch behind the screen, closed his eyes and listened to the Taoist priest next to him.

Hearing Xu Yan's request to see, Emperor Huiping opened his eyes, waved his hand to tell the Taoist priest to retreat into the apse, and then called someone to spread the word.

Xu Yan entered the palace without a detour, and after greeting him, he asked, "I heard that the imperial brother disposed of the elder Jiang Ge, is there really such a thing?" ”

"It is true." Emperor Huiping was still leaning on the couch, his face showing fatigue, "Are you also here to intercede for him?" ”

"Not really." Xu Yan's tone was flat, "Since the imperial brother has given this order, he naturally has the reason of the imperial brother." The younger brother just thought that after all, the imperial brother and Jiang Ge Lao had a love of teaching, and now that they had disposed of him, the imperial brother was probably sorry here, so he came in and took a look. ”

Emperor Huiping sighed.

It is not a trivial matter for Shoufu to be imprisoned, from the imprisonment of Jiang Ge Lao to the present, waves of ministers who have asked to see him have come, and even some palace concubines can't hold back and want to come in and get involved. Those people's minds turned back and forth, and the quarrel gave him a headache, but Xu Yan went straight to the point like this, which made people more happy.

After all, he felt that this younger brother was intimate, and sighed: "If it weren't for his unforgivable sin, how could I give this order." “

"Jiang Ge old him......"

"He colluded with the border generals and had bad intentions." Emperor Huiping sat up and pointed to the book on his desk, "Look at this." ”

Xu Yan took two steps forward, his eyes swept over the books on the case, and he was startled.

Through the Xuan Sutra? Is there really such a book in the world? Or, just a fake used to deceive Emperor Huiping?

Xu Yan's stomach was full of doubts, and then he was shocked, so he heard Emperor Huiping sigh: "This is found from his house, hidden in the secret pavilion, I once ordered him to search for this book, but he did not report it." ”

Xu Yan's eyes still fell on the Tongxuan Sutra, and he was a little unsure of what Emperor Huiping meant.

It is true that Emperor Huiping has some meaning of revealing the true reason. The collusion between the cabinet ministers and the border generals is the most taboo thing for Emperor Huiping, looking for the "Tongxuan Sutra" to seek the way of reincarnation, which is the thing that Emperor Huiping is most passionate about. Elder Jiang Ge acted against Emperor Huiping's wishes in these two matters, could he not make him angry?

But Emperor Huiping said it too directly and too easily, which made Xu Yan can't help but be suspicious.

Are these two reasons alone? How did Emperor Huiping conclude the collusion between Jiang Ge Lao and the border generals? But he couldn't go deeper - except for the matter of the Wulin Sect, Xu Yan had too little friendship with Jiang Ge Lao, and this did not mean to avoid suspicion.

The imperial brother is on the cusp at this time, any little misbehavior may cause his suspicion, if someone has already dug a trap through this, wouldn't it be a catastrophe? Could there be a sense of temptation in his words just now?

Xu Yan was silent for a moment, and finally decided to follow Jiang Ge's advice and not to get involved.

It's just that he was not at ease in his heart, and asked: "The collusion between the important ministers of the court and the border generals is not a trivial matter, does the imperial brother plan to severely punish the elder Jiang Ge?" ”

Emperor Huiping suddenly smiled and didn't say no.

Xu Yan's hanging heart finally let go a little. It seems that the emperor still favors this old minister after all, and after all, he has not fully believed the words of others. Maybe the royal brother is also suspicious, suspecting that someone deliberately framed it, but how many people can really guess his thoughts?

This matter was lightly revealed, and Xu Yan saw that Emperor Huiping was depressed, so he invited him to play chess.

The two brothers fought against each other for several rounds, each winning or losing, but Emperor Huiping's face was finally much better, not as depressed and tired as he was at the beginning.

Out of the Lama Temple, Xu Yan looked up at the palace city that was already in twilight, and there was a long-lost amazement in his heart.

Looking back at the painted gold ornaments at the door, and seeing that the heavy door was closed and heavily guarded, he sighed a little-

No matter how strong the brotherhood is, it can't resist the erosion of power, and no matter how deep the teaching affection is, it can't resist the verbal framing of others. Even if you look at Emperor Huiping's current state, he has lost his original attachment to this throne, and the power of this position is still terrifying.

Back in Duanwang's mansion, Xu Yan ordered the door to be closed. Those who wanted to borrow his hand to rescue or trample on the old Jiang Ge, he didn't see anything, he just closed the door and became an idle prince, as in the past few years, he stayed out of the matter and ignored it, just waiting for Emperor Huiping's will.

There was a lot of commotion in the court, and the documents outside were handed one after another, piled up on the desk like snowflakes - Jiang Wenying was demoted, Lu Ji was demoted, and Huang Wenshan was demoted......

These people are more or less related to Jiang Ge Lao, and now they have been demoted one after another, which makes many people feel that Jiang Ge Lao has completely collapsed this time. So the imperial historians were instructed by others to flock to the imperial case, and the impeachment flew to the top of the imperial case like snowflakes.

Emperor Huiping was diligent and looked at those folds one by one, but he didn't say anything.

However, outside Miyagi, it has already exploded.

When Aunt Jiang first heard the news, she was like a bolt from the blue. Over the years, Jiang Wenying's career has been smooth, although there are occasional small twists and turns, but it has never been like now, the teacher has become a prisoner in an instant, and he has been directly promoted from a second-grade member to a fifth-grade Tongzhi, maybe in a few days, he can be demoted twice more.

In the past, Mrs. Meng was here, and she could help her get an idea, but now the tears on Mrs. Meng's grave have not dried...... She had no idea for a while, and when she arrived in front of Mrs. Meng, she was in tears.

Fortunately, Meng Yingque and Meng Yingshi are both people in the officialdom, and they have just been worried about the death of Mrs. Meng.

Meng Yingshi immediately discussed with Mrs. Meng and Aunt Jiang, and after analyzing the news she had obtained recently, she could barely comfort Aunt Jiang.

If it is left elsewhere, the charge of colluding with the border general is enough to ask for a person's head, but now Jiang Ge Lao is only imprisoned in prison, and there is no conclusion yet, although Jiang Wenying and others were demoted, they did not go to that wild place, presumably Emperor Huiping did not have the idea of putting him to death.

The ups and downs of the sea, who hasn't planted their heels? This bad luck is a flying disaster, as long as it survives, Jiang Wenying is in his prime, why worry about the day when he doesn't turn over?

After all, Aunt Jiang is a woman, and after listening to Meng Yingshi's words, she was also panicked, but she was worried in her heart after all, and she couldn't rest assured.

In such a tense atmosphere, the tenth day of the lunar month is approaching in a blink of an eye.
