Collaborating with the enemy and treason, this crime is not small.

However, those old men were reasonable, and took out the letters exchanged between Wei Feng and the leader of the Qirong clan, and the handwriting on the letters was indeed Wei Feng's. It was written the contents of the conspiracy. Wei Feng promised that as long as the Xirong people retreated, after he ascended the throne, he would cede several cities in the border pass to several tribes in Xirong.

In the early dynasties, the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court stood up and said: "The crown prince conspired with the Xirong people to divide the territory of my Dayan without authorization, which is really rebellious, please surrender your majesty." ”

The time on the letter coincided with the time of the withdrawal of the Xijon tribe, and at first glance it did seem like the two sides had agreed on it.

Emperor Zhaoyuan sat on the golden dragon chair, nodded his knees, and said half-loudly: "In addition to this, what evidence is there?" ”

The left capital of the Imperial Court is stagnant, isn't that enough? What other evidence does 陛xià want?

Wei Yuan glanced at the Yan official who was wearing a red purple brocade robe complement court dress on his side, and the Yan official understood, and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, when the crown prince and Zagger, the leader of Xirong, were fighting, they had a chance to capture the other party alive, but they withdrew their troops halfway. If it weren't for the cat's greasy, how could they let the other party go so lightly? Isn't it to let the tiger return to the mountains and raise the tiger for trouble? ”

However, this point is wrong. Wei Feng didn't let the tiger go back to the mountain, he wanted to convince Zagger. Afterwards, Zagar led his troops to meet him twice, but he was defeated by Wei Feng's soldiers. After three times, Zagar had nothing to say, and voluntarily withdrew his troops for 300 li, promising never to invade Dayan's territory again for the next thirty years.

As an emperor, Emperor Zhaoyuan naturally knew what Wei Feng was thinking.

Zagar has two sons under him, who are brave and good at fighting, if Zagar dies, no matter which of them succeeds to the throne, in order to avenge their father, the border will not be peaceful in the next few decades. This is the only way to do it, once and for all, and to be forward-looking.

Emperor Zhaoyuan didn't think that Wei Feng was afraid of Zagger's two sons, but for the sake of the people at the border, if he could avoid war, he would avoid war.

Think about what the people think, think about what the people think. That's what an emperor should really do.

Emperor Zhaoyuan thought that he had not chosen the wrong person, glanced at the official, and said: "Xirong has signed the surrender document and paid a tribute of 100,000 taels to our court every year, could it be that Minister Wang thinks there is a more suitable result than this?" ”

Minister Wang was pouted back to his grandmother's house by the emperor with a word, and had to bring up the old matter again, "But the content of the letter is clearly written in black and ......."

Emperor Zhaoyuan thought for a while and said, "As for that letter, I will dispose of it after the crown prince returns to Beijing." ”

His Majesty's partiality is so obvious, how can the officials below not see it. However, now it can only be like this, and the few officials who impeached Wei Feng just bowed their heads, and Nuo Nuo answered yes.

After the dismissal, Wei Yuan had a gloomy face, and only walked out of the Taihe Hall after all the ministers had left.

In front of him, there was a figure standing on His Majesty, thin and slender, dressed in regular clothes. A minister stopped Wei Jichang from talking, and it was because of him that he walked a little slower.

Wei Yuan took a few steps forward and called him: "The eldest prince, please stay." ”

Wei Jichang didn't hear it, and continued to walk down. Wei Yuan remembered that he couldn't hear, so he reached out and grabbed his shoulder and walked around to him.

Wei Jichang's eyebrows were sparse, and he didn't seem surprised at all when he saw Wei Yuan, and there was still the smile on his lips just now.

There was no one around, Wei Yuan looked at him flatly, and his tone was as usual, "How did you think about the matter I discussed with you last time?" ”

Wei Jichang raised his eyebrows slightly, maybe he didn't expect him to be so direct.

It's no wonder that Wei Yuan couldn't hold his breath, Emperor Fangcai's attitude was so obvious, and it was clear that he wanted to favor Wei Feng. If Wei Yuan didn't take action earlier, after Wei Feng returned to Beijing, the throne would no longer be with him.

Wei Jichang smiled, stretched out his hand, picked up the palm that Wei Yuan put on his shoulder, and left without saying anything.

Su Xi was in the inner house, and she didn't know about the court, and when she heard a little wind, it was already two days later.

Su Xi was holding Tingyan's hand and walking around the backyard, Dr. Zhou said that she was about to give birth, and she would walk around more every day, so that it would not be too hard to give birth. The lotus flowers in the backyard are blooming just right, the green leaves are pavilions, and the red lotuses are quietly blooming, like a thick and colorful ink and blue. Mama Ye and Mama Lu followed behind, for fear that something would happen to her, she walked a little to the edge of the pool, and they stopped her in a fuss. Su Xi was not interested, and he didn't take a few steps before clamoring to go back.

It's good when Wei Feng is here, although he will also be nervous about her, he will try his best to meet all her requests.

Now that Wei Feng has been away for two months, Su Xi looked at his stomach and flattened his mouth unhappily.

Didn't you say you'd come back sooner? If he doesn't come back, her baby will be born.

As he was walking, Wei Liankun, the king of Jin, walked over, didn't see her, and said to the entourage around him while walking: "Send a message to Wei Feng and tell him to hurry back to Beijing!" If he doesn't come back, the position of the prince will be taken away. ”

Su Xi stopped, looked at King Jin in a daze, pursed his lips and said, "Dad, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”

King Jin seemed to have just noticed her, his dark and cloudy eyes looked at her, Shaoqing waved his sleeves and continued to walk inside, "It has nothing to do with you, the woman's family, take care of your own body first." ”

But what he said was endless, how could Su Xi rest assured?

What does it mean that the position of the prince is going to be taken away? Who wants to take it, Wei Yuan? Su Xi clearly remembered that there was no such thing in her previous life, or maybe she hadn't noticed it at all and ignored something. She slept alone at night tossing and turning, panicking, always feeling that something was going to happen.

Sure enough, that night, Wei Yuan led 100,000 soldiers to conquer the city gate, and captured the two gates of Donghua Gate and Zhongcheng Gate overnight. The people of the capital fell into panic, and Emperor Zhaoyuan ordered General Weiyuan to capture Wei Yuan, the prince of Yu, but he didn't know when Wei Yuan hooked up with Wan Rui, the commander of the forbidden army.

But it turned out that after Li Yan was exiled, his position in the Forbidden Army Guard became vacant, and Wei Yuan recommended a person to fill Li Yan's vacancy, it was Wan Rui.

The palace was in chaos. Wei Yuan did not hurt Emperor Zhaoyuan's life, but asked Emperor Zhaoyuan to tell the world that Wei Feng was united with the Xirong tribe and was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. In this way, Wei Yuan was able to openly and honestly block Wei Feng's army outside the city wall in the name of "Qingjun's side" and wipe it out.

In the Lin De Palace, Emperor Zhaoyuan looked at the edict prepared on the lacquered gold table, and did not stamp the jade seal for a long time.

Wei Yuan stood below and asked knowingly, "What is Your Majesty hesitating?" The evidence of Wei Feng's collaboration with the enemy and treason is on your table, as long as you cover the jade seal, the minister can help you clear the rebellious ministers and thieves, and return the people of the capital to a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

The halo of twilight outside the hall shone in and fell on the floor, stretching Wei Yuan's shadow for a long time, extending all the way to the table in front of Emperor Zhaoyuan. Emperor Zhaoyuan still sat steadily, not flustered. "The people of the capital are not fools, they can see clearly which is right and which is not. Even if I cover this edict, I can't clear your name of rebellion. ”

Wei Yuan put away the smile on his face, stopped talking nonsense with Emperor Zhaoyuan, and ordered someone to bring a little person up.

Wei Deyin's small body stood in the middle of the main hall, trembling, looking at his father behind the case with watery eyes, he didn't know what was going on, he only felt scared. said timidly: "Father...... I want the queen mother. ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan's face finally showed a hint of cracks, and he said angrily: "Wei Yuan, you are so bold, let go of Deyin!" ”

Wei Yuan motioned for the guards behind him to retreat, walked behind Wei Deyin, gently rubbed Wei Deyin's head with his palm, and said slowly: "Don't be too nervous, the minister is just asking the little princess to come and advise Your Majesty." As long as you stamp the edict, the minister guarantees that the little princess is safe and sound. ”

Not only was the palace controlled by Wei Yuan, but even the Jin Palace.

The palace was surrounded by Wei Yuan's soldiers, and there were three layers inside and three layers outside, and he heard that Yan wanted to go out to investigate the situation in the city, but he was also stopped.

After hearing Yan come back, he complained angrily: "The prince of King Yu is really lawless, and when the prince comes back, I won't be able to punish him severely!" ”

Listening to the crane pulled her, glanced into the room, and motioned for her to speak quietly.

Since Wei Yuan invaded the city three days ago, Su Xi has not opened his mouth. She was sitting on the rattan-faced Luohan couch near the window, and was writing a letter to her second brother Su Zhi, who was far away in Yanmen Pass. A while ago, the second brother had just decided to marry, and was sent to Yanmen Pass by Emperor Zhaoyuan, I don't know if he knew what happened in the capital, if he saw her letter and could rush back in time, he might be able to help Wei Feng.

Su Xi was also flustered at first, but after calming down, he thought of all the ways he should think. She couldn't do anything but try not to trouble Wei Feng as much as possible, and stay at home and wait for him to come back. After writing the letter, it was sealed with fire paint, and Su Xi called to listen to Li: "When you buy things tomorrow morning, find a way to send this letter out and don't let anyone know." ”

Listening to the oriole is clever and immature, which is easy for people to relax their guard. Early the next morning, Tingli went out of the house smoothly and delivered the letter to the Su Mansion.

The subordinate of the gatekeeper of the Su Mansion handed the letter to the eldest lord Su Zhen, and Su Zhen naturally knew what to do.

After another three days, a black-painted flat-topped two-horse carriage was parked in front of the Jin Palace.

The person who started was Wan Rui, the commander of the forbidden army.

Wan Rui respectfully "invited" Su Xi to come out, and said, "The prince of King Yu asks his wife to go to the gate of the city." ”

Su Xi has always been not very bold, and he must have been frightened when he encountered such a big thing before, but now he can still keep calm, although the hand holding Tinghe is already cold. "I'm about to give birth, and the doctor said that it's inconvenient to move around, so I'm afraid I can't go out with adults."

Wan Rui narrowed his eyes and glanced at Su Xi's belly, the lower abdomen protruding under the delicate green Hangzhou silk silk shirt was not like lying. He remembered the words of Wei Yuan before the departure - "Only bring people, and don't hurt her at all." ”

Wan Rui's attitude was respectful, but his voice did not carry the slightest emotion: "Madame, don't worry, there is a carriage parked outside the door." You only need to go with the lower officials, and you will not be tired. ”

This means that you have to go. Su Xi looked at him quietly, and a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind. What was Wei Yuan's purpose in calling her to the city gate at this time? The palace is full of Wei Yuan's men, and if he fights with them, he may not be able to please him. Besides, she had a hunch that there was a slight pain in her stomach early this morning, and she was afraid that she was about to give birth. At this time, the two sides fought again, in case something went wrong, she was afraid of hurting the child in her belly.

Su Xi quickly weighed the pros and cons, and Wei Yuan didn't dare to do anything to himself in public, not to mention that he was still pregnant. So he said, "I can go with you, but I have to take two midwives with me." ”

Wan Rui spoke very well and said, "Naturally." ”

Su Xi asked Wan Rui to wait outside, went back to clean up, and picked two experienced midwives in case she was about to give birth suddenly. In fact, there was nothing to clean up, so she hid a silver hairpin in her sleeve to defend herself. As soon as it was ready, he followed Wan Rui to the carriage outside the house.

The carriage walked steadily, all the way to the city gate. Su Xi supported her waist with one hand and stepped on the yellow wooden stool and slowly got out of the carriage, but after a while, the pain in her abdomen intensified a little. Fortunately, it was not unbearable, Wan Rui led the way in front and asked her to climb the city wall.

Su Xi walked very slowly step by step, and when he reached the city wall, he saw Wei Yuan standing in front of him in a black lotus-colored robe.

When Wei Yuan saw her coming, he hooked his lips until she stopped a few steps away, and then said, "Do you know why I invited you over today?" ”

Su Xi was silent. The wind on the city wall blew her delicate green skirt, and the thin fabric wrapped around her body, making her more and more petite and lovely. The pink lips were tightly pursed, and the face was a little pale, but it added a touch of stubbornness.

Su Xi thought that Wei Yuan would do it to herself, after all, she was pregnant with Wei Feng's flesh and blood in her womb, and he wanted to compete for the throne, and the child in her womb would be his confidant. But she couldn't go head-to-head with him, so she could only find a way to hold him back and give birth to the child safely.

However, Wei Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance.

Su Xi followed his gaze and saw hundreds of thousands of horses coming from Qingshui Mountain outside the city. On the front banner hangs a big word - "Jin".
