Upper Castle City.

The emperor had just received the secret news from the frontier before he could share such exciting good news with Zhong Aiqing in the court, and his son gave him a mess -

"Father, the son just got the news, Yingli is ready to attack, Wei Yuanhou and other brave generals died, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Wei Yuanhou The second son could not withstand Yingli's fierce attack, and surrendered to the peace letter, the criminal minister Xu Ziyu colluded with foreign enemies, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not report it, the two tried to seek power and usurp the throne, and now the evidence is conclusive, please ask the father to surrender"

Saying that, Mo Wenyuan presented the evidence in his hand to Li Shunde and then returned to his position to wait for the emperor to review it

The emperor took the evidence from Li Shunde's hand, and his expression was a little subtle

Mo Wenyuan had been watching the change in the emperor's expression with fear, but he found that the emperor had been expressionless, and his heart couldn't help but tremble

"Father's ......"

"Come on," before Mo Wenyuan could say anything, the emperor suddenly interrupted, "Arrest everyone in Weiyuan Houfu and imprison them all!" Qi Qiang Zhengting! Take someone to search the Prince's Mansion! ”

"Yes!" Qi Qiang and Zhengting promised with knives and fists, and took a group of soldiers to the prince's mansion

The atmosphere in the court was tense, and the courtiers didn't even dare to come out

"What are you guys doing!" Xu Ziyu protected his family on the one hand, and looked at the brocade guards with an iron face, among which the first was Zhou Qi, a soldier under him

Zhou Qi held an embroidered spring knife in his hand and apologized to Xu Ziyu, but there was no sincerity in his tone

"I'm sorry Governor Xu, the lower officials are also acting on orders"

Xu Ziyu was angered by Zhou Qi's attitude, and took out the embroidered spring knife on his waist and pointed it at Zhou Qi and shouted angrily

"Presumptuous!"

Zhou Qi sneered and took out the holy decree from his sleeve

Everyone saw Zhou Qi take out the holy decree. Hurriedly knelt down to receive the order

"The criminal minister Xu Ziyu colluded with foreign enemies to seek power and usurp the throne, and now the evidence is conclusive, he will be arrested and brought to justice."

Xu Ziyu and Pei Yanran glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes

Xu Ziyu had just received a secret report and learned that His Royal Highness Yingli Jiu had surrendered to the peace letter, and Mo Ziyuan was victorious. It's about to be the class teacher to return to the court. How could such a thing happen now?

"You say that I colluded with foreign enemies to seek power and usurp power, and the evidence is conclusive, but what about the evidence?"

"Xu Duwei really didn't cry when he saw the coffin," Zhou Qi sneered. With a wave of his hand: "Search for this official!" ”

"I see who dares!" Xu Ziyu got up and glanced at the people around him expressionlessly, Zhou Qi brought all the commanders under him, and Xu Ziyu treated his subordinates like nephews on weekdays. Those subordinates also really respect Xu Ziyu on weekdays, and they followed Zhou Qi to raid the house at this time. Most of them don't know the situation. Now when they saw Xu Ziyu get up, they didn't dare to move anymore

Zhou Qi saw that Xu Ziyu was now a criminal minister, but his power was still there, and he went crazy with jealousy in his heart. On weekdays, he is above 10,000 people under one person in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and he has long wanted to move Xu Ziyu, but now he finally has a chance. How can it be lightly let go?

"The lower officials are also acting on orders, and Governor Xu wants to resist the decree or not?"

When Zhou Qi said "resisting the will is not respectful". looked around at everyone, and sure enough, when they heard the disrespect of the protest order, the guards all showed a hesitant look on their faces.

Xu Ziyu didn't want them to be embarrassed, so he sat upright left and right, not afraid of their search, so he leaned away and let him go

Zhou Qi snorted coldly, waved his hand again, and ordered everyone to go in and arrest.

Mrs. Xu has lived most of her life, but she has never seen such a battle, and she wonders where she goes on weekdays is not respected and respected? Because of the rivalry of her son and grandson, which family in the capital does not envy her Weiyuan Houfu? Now that he was treated like this by a deputy governor of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, he trembled with anger

Although the Qin family is also angry, they are worried in their hearts, there is no wind and no waves, Weiyuan Houfu has always been valued by the royal family, and now it is the emperor who sent someone to raid the house, how can the Qin family let go and let them search?

"That's right," taking advantage of the search, Zhou Qi had a heart to chat, looked at several masters, and gloated, "The old lady doesn't know yet, Yingli suddenly attacked, everyone couldn't guard against it, and Wei Yuanhou had already died on the battlefield......"

"You talk nonsense!" Without waiting for Zhou Qi to finish speaking, Mrs. Xu raised the cane in his hand and beckoned to Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi sensitively dodged and continued: "The book of descent and peace was cast by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the second prince of your mansion.

The implication is that the emperor will not even let go of the prince this time, let alone your small Weiyuan Houfu

Mrs. Xu trembled angrily, intending to beat Zhou Qi out with a cane, but was stopped by Xu Ziyu with a sneer

"Grandmother is not angry, it's not worth it to break your body for this person's anger"

As he spoke, Xu Ziyu's eyes when he looked at Zhou Qi became a little meaningful: "You said that the prince is also suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?" ”

Zhou Qi clasped his hands into fists and bowed to the upper right, his face arrogant

"Exactly"

The corners of Xu Ziyu's mouth curled slightly, and he nodded meaningfully, and it happened that the guards who searched Weiyuan Houfu also came out at this time, as Xu Ziyu expected, he also held a box in his hand......

"Governor Zhou!" The guard holding the box handed the box to Zhou Qi: "This is what the lower officials searched in Xu Du's comfort room!" ”

Zhou Qi looked at Xu Ziyu with a smug look, opened the box casually, took a cursory glance, closed the box, waved his hand in the air, and commanded loudly

"Come on, arrest the thief who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!"

"Brother Yu'er ......"

Since hearing that her husband may die on the battlefield, the Qin family has been in a state of stupidity, and at this time, Zhou Qi searched out the "evidence" of Xu Ziyu's collaboration with the enemy and betrayed the country, which really dealt a heavy blow to the Qin family, so that the Qin family had to move from the bad news of her husband's death to another bad news

"Why is there no excuse for wanting to increase the sin?" Xu Ziyu held his eyes at Zhou Qi coldly and spoke lightly

After all, Xu Ziyu has been on the battlefield with Mo Ziyuan for a long time, and his momentum is much stronger than Zhou Qi.

After Zhou Qi was frightened by Xu Ziyu's eyes and didn't dare to speak anymore, Xu Ziyu shifted his gaze and gave Qin and Mrs. Xu a reassuring look, and then spoke to Zhou Qi sarcastically

"Deputy Governor Zhou, let's go?"

After speaking. Without saying a word, he took the lead in the prisoner car.

At the same time, Qi Qiang, Zhengting and other guards who searched the prince's mansion also presented a piece of clothing to the emperor.

It is said that a piece of clothing is not worth mentioning, but this dress is bright yellow, and the pattern on it is still a five-clawed golden dragon, which has to be said.

Qi Qiang handed over the dragon robe he had searched from the prince's mansion to the emperor before he went down to the court. When Mo Wenyuan saw the five-clawed golden dragon, he felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood. Pointing to the dragon robe and accusing the prince

"Father, the crown prince privately made a dragon robe with the intention of rebellion! I also asked my father to summon the prince back and confront him face to face! ”

The fall of Weiyuan Houfu set off a bloody storm in Shangjing, and everyone looked at the Weiyuan Houfu family in the prosperity of Longen, and all the old and young were imprisoned. are all guessing, I am afraid that the sky is going to change in the capital, and the emperor is going to clean the court.

As soon as the prisoner car imprisoning Weiyuan Houfu passed in front of several families, almost everyone in Beijing saw someone driving three fast horses one after another. One of the middle was holding the holy decree in his hand, and there were a few guards on both sides of the road to clear the way. Look at this battle. I knew that something was wrong, and then someone inquired and learned that the emperor had made an urgent move, to recruit the prince who was far away in the frontier to enter Beijing quickly. As for the reason, few people can find out.

Subsequently. The prince was defeated, Wei Yuan died on the battlefield, and the news that the prince personally surrendered to Yingli and the book of peace spread

Time. There are people in the family who are officials in the court, and everyone is worried. I'm afraid that the next one to be seized is my own family.

Those ordinary people don't know the changes in the court, but they also know that it is now an eventful autumn, and when they have nothing to do on weekdays, they dare not go to the streets, and there is a depression in the capital.

There was chaos outside the palace, and everyone was scared. The inner courtyard of the palace is also in chaos, but some people in the harem are happy and some are worried.

Since the dragon robe was found in the prince's mansion, the emperor immediately ordered the queen to be grounded, avoided the queen's phoenix seal, and handed over all the affairs of the harem to Concubine Cheng.

It's just that in this turmoil, it seems that everyone has forgotten Xu Zigui and Mo Leyuan, who are still locked up in Zhengyuan Temple.

According to reason, if Weiyuan Houfu is suspected of committing a crime, as the eldest daughter of Weiyuan Houfu and the county lord of the emperor's own title, he should send someone to arrest Xu Zigui before Weiyuan Houfu is all arrested.

It's just that no one mentioned this matter, and the emperor seemed to have lost his memory, as if he had forgotten all about the fact that there was an eldest daughter in Weiyuan Houfu, and never mentioned it.

Now that we are on the cusp of the storm, maybe the next person to be arrested will be my own family. If the emperor doesn't mention this matter, naturally no one will mention it, but it will inevitably be talked about in private.

Not only was there doubts in the capital, but even the Qin family, who did not find his daughter after entering the prison, was also confused, but the men and women in the prison were detained separately, and it was not easy for the Qin family and Mrs. Xu to ask anything they wanted.

"Mother, don't worry" Seeing that the Qin family was anxious, Pei Yanran took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and hurriedly comforted her.

When Pei Yanran was about to tell the Qin family and Mrs. Xu what she knew, her eyes swept to Xu Ziyun, who was bright-eyed, she closed her mouth one by one, grabbed Qin's hand with both hands, and just said implicitly, "It's all over, we'll be fine." ”

Listening to Pei Yanran's comfort, instead of getting better, the Qin family burst into tears: "How can I not worry? Not to mention that Brother Yu is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, now your father-in-law is ......."

Qin couldn't say any more, so he hugged Pei Yanran in his arms and cried loudly.

Pei Yanran was at a loss when Qin cried, and her eyes were red.

Mrs. Xu, who didn't know the specific situation, went smoothly, but when she arrived, she fell behind. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, thinking about his eldest son who died on the battlefield, and he also hugged Xu Ziruo and became sad.

For a while, there was a cry in the prison. And now Xu Zigui, who is far away on the border, has not received an urgent move from the capital, and is quite filial to Xu Zhengjie's shoulder.

Xu Zhengjie was enjoying his expression at this time, and he was still reprimanding Xu Zigui on his lips.

There were only a few words back and forth, Xu Zigui was going to recite it backwards, afraid that his ears would be calloused, Xu Zigui secretly found a small piece of paper, clumped them into two balls and blocked them in his ears, and from time to time he made two "um" sounds to prove that he was listening.

Fortunately, Xu Zhengjie was facing away from her at this time, and he didn't know her movements

Coincidentally, Mo Ziyuan happened to come to Xu Zhengjie's camp at this time to come to see Xu Zigui under the banner of talking to Xu Zhengjie about the day of returning to Beijing, and happened to see Xu Zigui with his eyes closed, his ears blocked with paper balls, shaking his head and pinching Xu Zhengjie's shoulders.

Xu Zigui closed his eyes and blocked his ears, naturally he didn't know that Mo Ziyuan came in, but he felt that Xu Zhengjie's body seemed to lean forward as if he was about to get up

Xu Ziguizheng wondered why his father was about to get up suddenly, and he was shaken by Xu Zhengjie. Fortunately, Xu Zhengjie reacted quickly, and hurriedly turned around and grabbed Xu Zigui so that Xu Zigui would not fall into the mud.

It's just that it doesn't matter if I turn my head this time, I happened to see the two paper balls on Xu Zigui's ears, and I couldn't help crying and laughing

"What are you doing?"

Xu Zigui, who was arrested, was very embarrassed, and hurriedly looked at Mo Ziyuan and asked Mo Ziyuan to relieve her

Mo Ziyuan, who received the signal, didn't dare not listen, and hurriedly collected the smile on his face, but before he could open his mouth to relieve Xu Zigui, the guards beside him had already opened the curtain and came in to report

"Your Highness, a letter from His Royal Highness the Ninth of the Yingli Imperial Family"

"Feng Jiuqing?"

Mo Ziyuan raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to take the letter and opened it and read it carefully, Xu Zigui stood aside and glanced at it from time to time, vaguely seeing

“…… Fake Feng Chenqing's handwriting...... Grand Tuesday Prince...... Wei Yuanhou died in battle...... Prince's Mansion ...... Robes...... Wei Yuan Hou Shizi collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country......"

Mo Ziyuan glanced at Xu Zigui, who had been glancing this way, with a smile, shook his head helplessly, and simply handed over the letter in his hand to Xu Zigui, and talked to Xu Zhengjie about business.

Xu Zigui pursed his lips, feeling that Mo Ziyuan had a feeling of coaxing a child

Although Xu Zigui is Xu Zhengjie's daughter, Xu Zhengjie also knows that his daughter has been smart since childhood, but he still takes into account that women are not allowed to be involved in politics, and he is still a little restrained when talking to Mo Ziyuan.

"The teacher doesn't need to be restrained," Mo Ziyuan saw Xu Zhengjie's restraint, looked at Xu Zigui with a smile, and said to Xu Zhengjie: "The lord of Yunjin is very smart, and the queen mother also called the lord of Yunjin the princess Zhuge in the middle of the woman, besides, ...... It's also good for Lord Yunjin to listen to some. ”

Although Mo Ziyuan didn't say it explicitly after the pause, everyone knew what he meant.

Let's not say that the queen has always intended to marry Xu Zigui to Mo Ziyuan, and said that there was malaria in the frontier, and Xu Zigui has been living in Mo Ziyuan's camp after coming all the way to the frontier, so it is clear that Xu Zigui will marry Mo Ziyuan in the future, and there is no doubt that he wants to be a mother in the world

Thinking like this, Xu Zhengjie was no longer restrained, and continued to talk about the letter with Mo Ziyuan

“…… What does Feng Jiuqing mean by doing this? (To be continued)
