Since the entire Xu family was convicted and imprisoned, there have been innocent people in the clan who have been complaining that it was Xu Ziyu who harmed everyone. Among them, Xu Ziyu's second uncle's family said the most intensely.

At a critical juncture, the family should have united to share the hardships, but things have come to such a point that the Zheng family has long been unwilling to even do superficial efforts, and has been muttering words like "a rat poop spoils a pot of porridge" in prison, which is really harsh in Dafang's ears

Although the entire Xu family was imprisoned in the prison by the emperor, no one came to interrogate them for a long time, and Xu Zigui has not come back so far, Xu Lao Taijun and the Qin family have already noticed something, and secretly got the news from Pei Yanran when everyone was not paying attention, and after knowing that the news of the defeat in the frontier was fake, they guessed the emperor's purpose for doing this

After knowing the truth, Mrs. Xu no longer had a bitter face, and secretly wrote down the faces of Zheng and others, planning to settle accounts after the autumn.

The emperor took these people to the prison, in fact, it was also to protect them in disguise, at least, few people could break into the prison and take people away.

At first, Xu Zigui was still worried that his family would suffer in the prison, and he was a little resentful of the emperor for using his family as bait to lure traitors to take the bait, but since he heard about what happened to the Dingguo family recently, he figured out this layer and knew the emperor's good intentions.

The day after the emperor left Zhengyuan Temple, Mo Ziyuan and his party entered Beijing. After Mo Ziyuan returned to Beijing, he was called into the Heart Cultivation Hall by the emperor, and the emperor sent out everyone who was waiting in the house, and the father and son didn't know what they said in the house. I only know that after the prince came out of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, he was placed under house arrest by the emperor in the prince's mansion.

Within half a day of the prince's house arrest, rumors came out one after another, saying that the prince's arrogant attitude angered the emperor. The emperor wants to abolish the crown prince, and it is also said that the prince has admitted to seeking power and usurping the throne, and there is not much time left before the emperor abolishes the prince.

In short, no matter how the rumors spread, the central idea is that the emperor wants to abolish the crown prince.

Now, some people's minds are alive.

Many courtiers were also persecuted because of the lives of those people, and the Dingguo family was the first to bear the brunt.

The younger sister of Dingguogong's youngest daughter-in-law just got married to the younger brother of Zhou Guogong's third daughter-in-law a few years ago, so that's it. The Zhang family and the Zhou family can also have a relationship. can be regarded as a member of the prince's faction.

It's just that now that the prince has an accident, the status of Dingguogong's family has become embarrassing, and Xin and Dingguogong can be regarded as an iron-clad man on the battlefield. can't do that kind of thing, so I just don't do it, and together with those princelings, I try to ensure that the prince will never do such a foolish thing

Dingguo Gong is also a military general. And with real power in his hands, he is the object that should be wooed. It's just that the prince of the country is protected. It really gave the princes who had been calling for it in recent days and wanted to win over the Duke of Dingguo a headache

For a time, the Dingguo Mansion was fought over by several princes, and it became a fragrant dumpling. Happiness and sorrow, Xu is the dark waves in the court these days, but only he has been smooth sailing in the Dingguo Mansion these days. The ladies in the Dingguo Mansion were a little fluttering

Dingguo Gong had the heart to remind the ladies in the house, but he had been busy with Mo Ziyuan's affairs recently, and he didn't return to the house much. I haven't had time to remind me, but I really didn't expect that my daughter would not be so confused.

Dingguo Gong was busy with the prince's affairs. I didn't go home for three days, and I took the three sons of Dingguo Gong to discuss policies with several ministers in the Yamen, and I couldn't take care of my family's affairs, but it just gave those who wanted to win over Dingguo Gongfu and were forced to be in a hurry

Mo Ziyuan's matter, the emperor has not yet given a verdict, and there are successive courtiers who have been arrested by the emperor, and those who have enemies in the court have successively broken out the ugly affairs of the enemy, and those who do not have enemies are thinking about how to protect themselves all day long.

Dingguo Gong has been smooth sailing since the incident, and the Dingguo Gong family has never been bad with others, so they are a little less guarded. It happened that at this time, a eunuch in the palace suddenly came to the Dingguo Mansion with a holy decree

When Wang Quanshun came to announce the decree, the adult men in the Dingguo Mansion were all discussing the prince's affairs in the Yamen, and the remaining few were milk dolls who were not yet ten years old

Because their mansion has been smooth sailing in the past few days, the Duchess of Dingguo did not care too much when receiving the order, but she didn't want Wang Quanshun to come with the guards, and as soon as those people entered the Dingguo Mansion, they didn't say anything, but directly ordered someone to take all the Dingguo Duke's family up

"The Zhang clan deceived the superiors and subordinates, and tried to plot against the prince to usurp the throne, and now the evidence is conclusive, and they will be imprisoned in the prison and beheaded after the autumn, and they will be beheaded."

After speaking, he pretended to bow respectfully to Mrs. Zhang, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang, please."

After listening to Wang Quanshun's recitation of the holy decree, the Zhang family was as dead as ashes, thinking that it was their own efforts to protect the prince that angered the emperor and made the emperor angry

Old Madam Zhang supported the hand of the maid beside her to support her body, so as to avoid being frightened and fainting too much, and followed Wang Quanshun out of the mansion tremblingly, but found that there was no prisoner car outside the mansion when the emperor imprisoned the criminal ministers. Mrs. Zhang immediately realized that something was wrong, but now the whole family is imprisoned, and besides, they are all women, children and children who are powerless, and they are powerless to resist at all

Old Madam Zhang's face changed for a while, and she looked at Wang Quanshun with a cold face and sneered: "Is it possible that the prince does not know the consequences of the false transmission of the holy decree?" ”

Who knew that after Wang Quanshun listened to Mrs. Zhang's words, he laughed wildly, pinching his fingers and smiling softly

"Old Madam Zhang, don't tell the Sprinkle family about any false holy decrees, it's just a matter of a few days, your house has offended the new emperor, is it possible that you still want to be safe and sound?"

"The new emperor?" Mrs. Zhang looked at Wang Quanshun inexplicably, shocked, "What a new emperor!" You make it clear! The emperor is now in good health, how can there be a new emperor! ”

"Hahahaha," Wang Quanshun looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, his eyes were full of contempt, "The emperor has long been angry with the crown prince and Wei Yuanhou Shizi, but now that the matter of the court has not been resolved, the emperor will naturally not reveal that he is in poor health...... As for the new emperor...... Scold. You will find out who the new emperor is when you follow the Sprinkle family."

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Zhang glared at Wang Quanshun angrily, trying to argue with him, but Wang Quanshun waved his hand, and the guards detained all the people in the Dingguo Mansion into the carriage that had been prepared long ago

Duke Dingguo only knew that the female dependents in his house were taken away by the father-in-law beside the emperor, but he didn't know which one it was. Hurriedly changed into court clothes and entered the palace to report to the emperor. I asked for grace and led the Imperial Forest Army to almost the entire Shangjing City, but I didn't find a single hair

When the emperor heard about it, he stepped up his efforts, and even sent out the secret guards around him. But there is still no result, or the emperor has already found the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhang and others, but he is just going to continue to dig holes for people, so it is possible that he has not found them

Ever since Xu Zigui heard about it. immediately asked Yuerong to quickly deliver the news to the Zuo Xiangfu and the Zhou Guogong Mansion and other mansions that had a relationship with the Xu family but had not been arrested by the emperor, telling them that if someone in the palace came to announce the decree. You must look carefully, if it weren't for Li Shunde next to the emperor, don't believe it all. Although it is not rumored which father-in-law came to the Dingguo Mansion that day to announce the decree, Wang Quanshun is who's person. Xu Zigui knew it clearly in his previous life.

Xu Zigui thought that he was not late in delivering the news, but when he heard the report of Yuerong's return, he was frightened into a cold sweat

Yuexi was seriously injured and did not heal, so Xu Zigui only sent Yuerong alone to deliver the news. As a result, when Yuerong arrived at Wanshang Mansion, if it wasn't for Yuerong, it was just the right time. Mrs. Wan was going to take Qin Siyuan and other ladies in the house to follow Wang Quanshun into the palace to thank her.

When Yuerong went, he happened to catch up with Wang Quanshun in announcing the decree, saying that in the past few days, there was civil strife in the capital, and Wan Liji, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, and Wan Yanting, the son of Wan Yanting, had made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos, and he had enshrined the female dependents of Wanshang Shufu, and asked the female dependents of Wanshangshu Mansion to enter the palace immediately to thank him. The Geng family was originally from a small family, and now there is another high-eyed and high-eyed Aunt Geng in the mansion, and after listening to the will of the edict, she has completely forgotten what happened just a few days ago in the Dingguo Mansion.

Fortunately, Qin Siyuan has grown up beside Zuo Xiang since he was a child, and when he heard the holy decree of the edict, he was thinking, Wan Li and Wan Yanting have not done anything in the past few days, why did they suddenly come to the edict of canonization? But how could she, a daughter-in-law, stop her mother-in-law

“…… The cousin tried to remind Mrs. Wan of what happened in the Dingguo Mansion a few days ago, but as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Mrs. Wan, saying that the cousin had married into Wanfu for more than half a year and did not do anything for Wanfu, but at this time she wanted to drag Wanfu back, which was simply ......"

Yuerong paused, carefully looked at Xu Zigui's expression, and said with difficulty, "Saying that the cousin girl is simply ...... Mourning Star ......"

"Presumptuous!"

Mo Leyuan was angry, slapped the table and stood up, and was pulled down by Xu Zigui again, although Xu Zigui's face was not much better than Mo Leyuan's now, fortunately, she still had some sense, calmed her anger, and asked

"And then? How did you stop someone? Haven't Aunt Geng and Cheng Huashang left yet? The emperor has not attacked those people so far, is it possible that they have not entered Beijing yet? ”

Yuerong shook her head, "When the slave maid went, Mrs. Wan was about to follow the princess, the slave and maid were in a hurry, and said that she had just come back from the palace, and the queen mother had a decree to announce, and the princess knew that I was the person next to the county lord, so he believed it and hurriedly found an excuse to say that the slave and maid announced the decree for a while, and took them into the palace together, so they fled in a hurry. ”

Yuerong paused, and said, "The Hou Ye has entered Beijing, as for why the emperor hasn't had a seizure...... The slave maid guessed that because the emperor had been eyeing the four princes in the past few days, maybe they were going to have a seizure together."

"Eyeing Mo Qingyuan?" Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Could it be that the emperor found something from Shao Qingyuan?" ”

"This slave maid is not clear," Yue Rong shook her head, frowned and thought for a while, "But the slave maid heard that the emperor seems to be not very good these days......

"The emperor is not very good?" Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, a few days ago, when the emperor came to Zhengyuan Temple to see her and Mo Leyuan, she looked very healthy, why is she not very good now?

"The emperor is not good, why haven't I heard of it?"

"I heard that the emperor deliberately blocked the news, and "Yuerong frowned" is only known to the emperor's close attendants and the imperial doctor who diagnosed the emperor...... Just ......"

"Just what?"

Seeing Yuerong's hesitation, Xu Zigui couldn't help frowning, but he had a rough guess in his heart

"It's just that the prince is the apprentice of the prince Li, and naturally he also knows the news that the emperor is sick, although the emperor deliberately blocked the news, but the prince still released some rumors......"

Xu Zigui nodded, frowned and was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you know what the prince is doing these days?" ”

Yue Rong shook her head, frowning and puzzled, "The prince has indeed been under house arrest all along, and he is indeed surrounded by a wave of soldiers......"

“…… Do a good job" Xu Zigui nodded slowly, as if thinking about something, "You go down first"

"Yes"

Yuexi bent his knees, and after walking out, Xu Zigui frowned and asked

"Do you know that Concubine Shu's mother's family has someone who is powerful in the court?"

Mo Leyuan shook his head and pondered: "Except for the eldest daughter-in-law of the right minister, the lady's mother's family is mediocre, but although there is no very effective one, it is indeed something that can be said in the court......

"It's no wonder......"

Xu Zigui muttered softly, Mo Leyuan didn't hear clearly, and asked again, but Xu Zigui shook his head lightly, smiled at Mo Leyuan, and changed the topic

"I guess we're going back in the next few days."

"Why?"

Mo Leyuan was puzzled, although he was confined and confined in Zhengyuan Temple, Mo Leyuan felt that he was much happier here than in the palace, at least here, there were not so many intrigues. What happened in the court had nothing to do with them, and Mo Leyuan really couldn't figure out what reason the emperor would let them out.

Xu Zigui naturally knew Mo Leyuan's thoughts, and she also felt much happier in Zhengyuan Temple than in the palace......

Sighing slightly, Xu Zigui was meaningful: "Because Feng Jiuqing is coming"

"Feng ...... Jiuqing? His Royal Highness Yingli Jiu? What does he do with us? ”

Seeing Mo Leyuan's ignorant expression, Xu Zigui suddenly had the heart to tease her, so he laughed evilly

"He came to make peace with Da Zhou, and the best solution to maintain friendly coexistence between the two countries is to make peace with ...... As the princess of the Great Circumference, you naturally have to start with you."

"And pro?!"

Mo Leyuan really exclaimed as Xu Zigui thought. Seeing Mo Leyuan's anxious look, Xu Zigui couldn't help laughing

Seeing Xu Zigui smiling, Mo Leyuan knew that he had been tricked by this, glared at Xu Zigui with disgust, pouted and said aggrievedly: "If you are so unserious, I will ignore you."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I'm wrong, can't I," Xu Zigui surrendered with a smile, laughed for a while, and then said with a meaningful smile

"I'm not all teasing you, Feng Jiuqing came this time, for the sake of the relationship between the two countries, he must be friendly" (to be continued)

ps: My brain is going to be mushy and late for the exam in the past few days, and it will not be like this after the exam, thank you for your support, good night
