With the loud rooster crow in the morning, everything seemed to start anew, and on a foggy morning, when the first rays of winter sunlight shone through the iron windows, there was silence in the prison. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not because there is no one, it's because everyone is surprised that they don't know how to speak.

Shen Fuguo, a felony in the imperial court, died in the prison, and the head of the cell checked the cause of death, looked around and said with a heavy weight: "It's suicide!" ”

Guards, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

The guards who were arranged by the emperor to protect Shen Qiwu in the heavenly prison glanced at the queen's side, Shen Qiwu was still sleeping with his back to them, and no one saw her face.

"Anyway, tell Your Majesty first!"

Zhao Mu had not yet gone to court at this time, and was still in Qin Ya's palace.

"Your Majesty, you look good today!" Qin Ya carefully sorted out the dragon robe for Zhao Mu, and after Chen'er was born, Qin Ya liked to help Zhao Mu tidy up his sleeves and snatch the jobs of those subordinates.

Zhao Mu let her tidy up for herself, closed her eyes, and suddenly said, "Your complexion is also good." ”

Qin Ya smiled, a little shy, lay on Zhao Mu's chest, and whispered: "It's not early, Your Majesty go to the court!" ”

"Uh-huh."

At this time, Li Fu hurriedly came in. Ignoring Qin Ya's somewhat surprised gaze, he whispered a few words in Zhao Mu's ear.

Zhao Mu's face changed at first, and he quickly calmed down. He waved his hand to let Li Fu step back first, glanced at Qin Ya and said with a smile: "I will leave first, and I will come to see you and Chen'er later." ”

Qin Ya nodded, although she was a little curious about what Li Fu said in Zhao Mu's ear, she didn't want to ask out loud. The harem is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court, this is something that the emperors of all dynasties have been very wary of, and Qin Ya is just curious.

On the Jinluan Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials began to kowtow, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Flat." Zhao Mu sat on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers below, and specially stopped his gaze on several courtiers for a while.

"Let's get started."

As soon as the words fell, a minister stood up.

This is the official of the imperial envoy's office, and he often likes to come out of nowhere, and is good at provoking the emperor and framing ministers.

"Your Majesty, more than a month has passed since the Shen case, and the evidence is conclusive, why is Your Majesty delaying in making a decision, is it because he wants to shield the sinner?"

This time, Zhao Mu did not find a reason to prevaricate in the past, but replied with a straight face: "Why did Li Aiqing say this? Shen Fuguo is a case of rebellion, how can I cover it up! ”

Master Li continued to ask, "Then why does Your Majesty refuse to sentence you?" ”

Zhao Mu said in a deep voice: "Early this morning, news came from the prison. Shen Fuguo had already committed suicide. ”

"What?" When the ministers heard the news, they were in an uproar.

Qin Guogong's face changed, and he did not speak.

Zhao Mu waved his hand, signaling to be quieter, he still had something to say.

"After the Shen family was the founding hero, the ancestor once assisted Emperor Gaozu and governed meritoriously. I have been ambushed for the first offense, and I hereby open up to the rest of the people to show my kindness. ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Immediately, a minister stood up to oppose it, he looked at Zhao Mu and said: "Although the first evil has been ambushed, the queen's responsibility is also very great, conspiring with her father to make trouble in the harem." If it weren't for the conspiracy exposed, he might do something wrong to His Majesty, and he must be severely punished to show the world! ”

Zhao Mu expected that things would not be very simple, so he had already pondered the rhetoric in his heart, and said: "I thought about it and found that there were many doubts about whether the queen was involved in this case. Although the letters are indeed evidence, but those books were given to the queen by me, if I really want to say that I am guilty, then am I also guilty? ”

Qin Guogong stood up and said, "Why didn't Your Majesty say it, could it be that Your Majesty wanted to protect the queen and made this decision?" ”

Zhao Mu hadn't answered yet, Li Yang, who had been watching and was silent, stood up and said: "The difference between what Qin Guogong said, the former queen accompanied His Majesty on the imperial expedition regardless of her safety, it can be seen that she is sincere to Your Majesty, and now since the evidence is suspicious, it is inevitable that it is not someone else who wants to frame Zhongliang, Your Majesty must make a decision after a thorough investigation!" ”

Li Yang opened his mouth, and the Wuchen side naturally spoke in unison, and they all supported Shen Qiwu, the queen, and began to quarrel with Wenchen's side.

"Alright, let's all be quiet!" Zhao Mu's serious voice sounded, he glanced at Li Yang with some gratitude, and continued: "Since there is a suspicion, then we must investigate it thoroughly!" However, I have always been fair, although the queen is a suspect, she is still the queen, and she should be placed under house arrest in Kunning Palace, supervised by me day and night. You Aiqing don't need to say much, let's retreat first! ”

Without giving others a chance to refute, Zhao Mu directly got up and left quickly, leaving a group of dumbfounded ministers.

This favoritism is not so blatant, if you want to be under house arrest, you should also be under house arrest in the prison, why are you still under house arrest and go back to Kunning Palace!

There was nothing the ministers could do to talk to each other, so they had to leave the court one after another. The emperor has already run away, and it is not a matter of staying and complaining.

After the dispersal of the Qin Dynasty, he did not leave the palace in a hurry, but found someone to spread the word and went straight to the palace of his daughter Imperial Concubine.

"Father, why are you here?" Qin Ya appeared like the wind, and came to greet her father with a smile.

Qin Guogong smiled and asked, "What about Chen'er?" Why didn't I see him? ”

Qin Ya replied, "Your Majesty took him to study." Speaking of which, Qin Ya's face was filled with happiness, Zhao Mu loved Zhao Chen so much, and she was naturally happy as a mother.

"Oh." Qin Guogong also laughed and glanced around.

Qin Ya understood what he meant, and said, "You guys go out first, I still have something to discuss with Qin Guogong." ”

"Obey the order."

After the palace maids all withdrew, Qin Ya looked at Qin Guogong with some confusion and asked puzzledly, "Father, what happened?" ”

Qin Guogong's face sank, looked at his daughter and said: "Shen Fuguo committed suicide, Your Majesty prevaricated that the evidence was insufficient, and put Shen Qiwu under house arrest in Kunning Palace, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated!" ”

"Really?" Qin Ya frowned, this is not good news for her, although Shen Qiwu is still a suspect, but His Majesty still has the old feelings in his heart, and he even put her under house arrest in Kunning Palace.

"That's fine, she'll probably be fine if she's outside. But now that he has returned to the palace, there are still many opportunities. Qin Ya smiled, with a terrifying look in her eyes. I don't know what comes to mind, and it's a little hideous.

Qin Guogong was stunned and suddenly laughed.

"That's fine, it can be said that it is suicide in fear of sin."
