"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't know that the merchant who offered the treasure was Chen Fuan, the chief eunuch of the Later Zhou Dynasty, if he knew about it, Weichen would have 10,000 dares not to bring a dangerous person like him into the palace."

Wei Yongbo, who was standing in the middle of the main hall, suddenly spoke, his expression was still a little afraid and panicked, and he looked innocent as if he really didn't know anything before.

But thinking about it also makes people feel credible, Chen Fuan, as the personal eunuch of the Emperor of the Later Zhou, must be the henchman of the henchmen, and now the Great Qin has just destroyed the Later Zhou, so that its master died in Huangquan, who knows if Chen Fuan wants to use the reason for the treasure to sneak into the palace, close to Emperor Qin Ying, but is waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Emperor Qin Ying.

If this is the case, Wei Yongbo, who brought Chen Fuan into the palace, will inevitably be involved, and if he doesn't get it right, assassinating the emperor is a big crime. William wouldn't have taken such a risk.

Therefore, Wei Yongbo may really not know Chen Fuan's identity, and what happened just now may really be an accident, not a conspiracy planned by Wei Yongbo behind him.

Thinking like this, the ministers looked at Prince Li and Qin Yu with a slightly different gaze, if Fang Cai's words were accidental, then Chen Fuan's words would be credible.

Could it be that Prince Li really detained the jade seal of the country without permission? Could it be that Prince Li really has a heart of disobedience?

Wei Yongbo naturally felt the change in the atmosphere in the hall, he slightly hooked the corners of his lower lip, looked at Prince Li, and said in a loud voice: "There is no conspiracy in today's affairs, so Weichen believes that what Chen Fu'an said must be true, Weichen implores the emperor to order the Praetorian Guards to search Prince Li's mansion, if it is really not the jade seal of the country, Weichen is willing to accept the emperor's punishment and ask Prince Li for the guilt." ”

Wei Yongbo said, knelt down with a solemn expression, and looked like a loyal bone who was not afraid of being tired.

In this way, it would be difficult for the people to sit still anymore, otherwise they would be too unfaithful in comparison.

Zhou Dingxing took the lead in getting up, knelt in the hall, and said: "Weichen is also sure that the emperor has searched Prince Li's mansion, presumably Prince Li also wants to return his innocence!" ”

As soon as he spoke, some ministers in the hall got up and knelt behind Zhou Dingxing and Wei Yongbo Zheng Wan, and asked Emperor Qin Ying to order the Praetorian Guards to search the palace.

The ministers also have the mentality of conformity, and now everyone is kneeling, no matter what they think in their hearts, then they will also kneel, otherwise the emperor will definitely hold a grudge in his eyes.

For a while, there were only a few ministers in the main hall who were very clearly from Prince Li's faction still sitting behind the table, but this did not affect the general trend.

Gu Qingwan stood in the shadows behind Qin Yu, looking at the scene in the hall, and sighed a lot for a while.

Fang Cai still looked like a happy celebration banquet, but in a blink of an eye, it became this kind of tense shape, and the struggle for power was really terrifying.

Now that the general trend is coming, Emperor Qin Ying's order to search Prince Li's mansion seems to be justified, and it is a matter of course. No one will accuse him of mistreating heroes and disrespecting the emperor's elders.

And once Prince Li's mansion is searched, no matter what the result is, it will be lost, which is equivalent to confirming the crime of privately hiding the jade seal of the country and having a heart of disobedience.

As soon as the Praetorian Guards were dispatched, the matter became a big one, and even the people of the capital would know that Prince Li's mansion was searched for secretly hiding the jade seal of the country.

Therefore, Emperor Qin Ying arranged this play, it was wrong for Prince Li to let the Praetorian Guards search, and it was even more wrong not to let the Janissaries search, it is impossible to explain how it is, and Emperor Qin Ying's move is also exquisite.

Gu Qingwan was thinking about it, and sure enough, when he saw Emperor Qin Ying after the imperial case, his face was moved and decisive, and he raised his voice: "Okay, I will be invited by Zhu Aiqing to pass on the commander of the forbidden army ......."

Before Emperor Qin Ying's words were finished, a clear voice suddenly sounded outside the door of the main hall, and said, "The emperor doesn't need to pass on the commander of the Praetorian Guard, because Weichen already knows where the jade seal of the country is now." ”

As the voice came in, everyone's eyes unconsciously looked at the temple gate.

But seeing that Qin Yi was dressed in a rain-swept azure robe, with a navy blue belt around his waist and a white jade Pisces jade pendant, he walked in from outside the hall with a leisurely pace, and behind him was Jing Rong, who was wearing a blue lotus-colored arrow-sleeved robe.

Jing Rong had a clear smile on his face, his eyes were purring, and he seemed a little out of action, and his steps were very brisk.

One of the two was calm, the other was lively and jumpy, and the atmosphere in the hall was incompatible, so that as soon as people entered, they broke the stagnant and tense atmosphere that had been created in the hall.

"What did Ah Yi just say? What do you mean that you already know where the jade seal is? Emperor Qin Ying, who was standing on the imperial steps, couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows.

After speaking, his face changed slightly, and he said: "Could it really be Ah Yi and Ah Yu, you two hid the jade seal of the country?" Ah Yi, this matter is not trivial, don't talk nonsense! ”

Emperor Qin Ying felt that Qin Yi's words were very wrong, but he could only continue to act at this time.

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Wei Yongbo Zheng Wan, who was kneeling at the front of the hall, and said: "Where is the jade seal of the country, this emperor should not ask his ministers and A Yu, he should ask Wei Yongbo, Wei Yongbo must know where the jade seal is." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Wan looked at Qin Yi inexplicably, and said: "What does Prince Li mean, there is no need to delay time by pretending to be mysterious, and prevent the emperor from sending troops to search Prince Li's mansion, Lord Shi is like this, he wants to buy more time to hide the jade seal in a reliable place, right?" ”

Zheng Wan sneered, but the smile on Qin Yi's face deepened, he only sighed lightly and shook his head, with a look that Zheng Wan was too stupid and he was already embarrassed to speak.

Jing Rong glanced at Zheng Wan twice and said in surprise: "Doesn't Wei Yongbo know yet?" The carriage of your mansion suddenly caught fire in the parking lot, and the commander of the Praetorian Guards, Lord Gao, led a large group of people to put out the fire, and now although the fire was extinguished, something was found in Lord Zheng's carriage. Soon, Lord Gao should go back and forth about this matter, and Lord Zheng still thinks about how to explain it to the emperor. ”

As Jing Rong's words fell,

As Jing Rong's words fell, there were footsteps outside, and then Gao Xiang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, walked in, followed by Zhu Shun, the eunuch in charge of the Qiankun Palace.

Gao Xiang was holding a rosewood box in his hand, his face was a little calm, and his official boots were stained with some ashes, and it seemed that he had indeed put out the fire.

Entering the main hall, he knelt down and saluted Emperor Qin Ying, raised the box in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Yongbo's carriage suddenly caught fire, and after Wei Chen led people to extinguish the fire, he found the jade seal of the country in the carriage, but in the panic, the jade seal has been broken, and the fragments are in this box. ”

Emperor Yingdi of Qin, "......"

Crowd, "......"

Gu Qingwan was also a little unable to accept this divine turn, what is this called, the last moment Zheng Wan also swore that the heirloom jade seal was hidden in the mansion by Prince Li's father and son, and the next moment he found the heirloom jade seal from his own carriage.

Is there a more thorough slap in the face than this? It's so loud.

Seeing that Zheng Wan was stupid, Gu Qingwan couldn't help but want to laugh. She looked at the cold back of Qin Yu standing in front of her, and said in her heart, no wonder the two of them were so calm.

Feelings have long known Zheng Wan's design, and they have already prepared a post-move, and they will govern others in their own way. From this point of view, Qin Yi took advantage of Jing Rong's discomfort to leave, probably for the sake of acting, to arrange this scene.

She just said, Jing Rong's retching reaction, how does it look like morning sickness, in the past, the financial sister in her studio had morning sickness.

Sure enough, they were all pretended. This kid can't pretend to be anything else!

Gu Qingwan shook her head amusedly, she looked at Emperor Qin Ying on the imperial ladder again, and unexpectedly saw that Emperor Qin Ying's face was pale, and even the green tendons on his forehead protruded, looking cold and resentful.

Gu Qingwan felt extremely comfortable in her heart, and it seemed that the relationship between Emperor Qin Ying and Prince Li's Mansion was getting more and more tense. The so-called enemy of the enemy is his friend, if not a friend, then an ally.

Looking at it this way, Qin Yu is her ally. She stayed by Qin Yu's side, and it didn't seem to make her so uncomfortable and depressed.

Gu Qingwan thought about it and lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, Emperor Qin Ying finally came back to his senses and said, "Present the fragments of the jade seal of the heirloom country, and I will personally inspect it." ”

Gao Xiang stepped forward with the box, and the eunuch took it and put it on the dragon case. The heirloom jade seal inside was taken out piece by piece, and it was really broken.

"How did it shatter?" Emperor Qin Ying asked in a deep voice as he watched the eunuch restore the fragments.

Gao Xiang replied: "At that time, Wei Yongbo's carriage caught fire for unknown reasons, the fire was not small, the horse was frightened, running around, Wei Chen was afraid that the fire would spread to the palace, and hurriedly led people to shoot the frightened horse, so that the carriage overturned, and after the fire was extinguished, the box fell out. A small part of the lid of the box was burned, and the jade seal inside was already like this at that time. ”

"Since it is broken, how can Lord Gao know that this box contains the heirloom jade seal, this is really strange!"

Zhou Dingxing, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but raise his voice, his words were clearly suspicious, Gao Xiang found out that the jade seal was a prepared conspiracy at this time.

Gao Xiang's face turned red with anger, and he said with a thick neck: "What do you mean by what Lord Zhou said?" There was a silk silk pressed into the box, and it was clearly written on it. 'Those who have passed on the jade seal of the country will win the world, and the ministers will pass on the jade seal of the country to offer my emperor, and I hope that my emperor will be eternal, long live, long live! 'It's Wei Yongbo's own handwriting, how can this be wrong?' ”

Gao Xiang said, looked at Zhou Dingxing with wide eyes, and said: "Lord Zhou won't think that it was the jade seal of the country that was deliberately broken by this general, this general was wronged, many people looked at it at that time, and when the jade seal was found, it was broken!" ”

As he spoke, he glared at Zheng Wan again, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Yongbo too, if such an important thing is to be presented to the emperor at the palace banquet, it should be properly hugged and carried with him, how can it be placed on the carriage like that." This is a jade seal of the country, it was destroyed like this, how can this be good?! ”

When Gao Xiang went to fight the fire, it was obvious that Zheng Wan had not made a fuss on this side of the main hall, and Gao Xiang didn't even know about the turmoil caused by Chen Fu'an's dedication to the Green Dragon Sword.

Gao Xiang, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, is directly responsible for the safety of Emperor Qin Ying, and is naturally Emperor Qin's confidant and favorite general, loyal to Emperor Qin Ying, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all know that he is a royalist, but now he is also this royalist faction, without knowing it, completely slapped Emperor Qin Yingdi and Wei Yongbo in the face.

The ministers immediately understood the reason and process of the matter, it turned out that the emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty really got the jade seal of the country, but because of the decline of the national strength of the Later Zhou Dynasty and did not dare to make it public, when the Later Zhou perished, the emperor's personal eunuch Chen Fuan took advantage of the chaos and stole the Qinglong Sword and the jade seal of the country.

Then, probably unwilling to be silent, this Chen Fuan leaned on Wei Yongbo Zheng Wan again, and presented the Qinglong Sword and the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, in an attempt to use these two rare treasures to pass Guò Zheng Wan into the emperor and seek a place in Daqin.

However, Zheng Wan wanted to use this to marry the palace of Prince Li, so there was a scene where Chen Fu'an entered the Qinglong Sword to dedicate the green dragon sword, and it was obvious that the reason why the jade seal of the country was in Wei Yongbo's carriage was that Wei Yongbo waited for the Praetorian Guards to search the palace of Prince Li tonight, and then he privately presented it to Emperor Qin Ying.

Who knows, maybe God didn't help Zheng Wan, maybe it was Prince Li's Mansion who had insight into this conspiracy in advance, so the carriage burned, and the jade seal of the country appeared like this.

In any case, Zheng Wan's attempt to frame Prince Li's Mansion was appropriate, and Zheng Wan did so, and it was likely that he had already communicated with Emperor Qin Ying before.

The ministers all thought clearly, but Prince Li's face was angry, and he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the matter is already obvious, Zheng Wan framed Weichen, separated Weichen and the emperor's uncle, nephew, monarch and minister, and asked the emperor to uphold justice for Weichen's father and son. ”

Prince Li finished speaking, angrily flicked his robe and knelt down, and Qin Yu and Qin Yi also knelt behind Prince Li.

"Your Majesty, the two Weichen brothers, led the troops to level the Hou Zhou, so there is no merit, and there is hard work

, There are also hard work, not long after returning to Beijing, but suffering from the slander of such a traitorous minister, the Weichen brothers are nothing, but they are afraid that the soldiers of Zhengnan will be cold! Qin Yi also said sadly after kneeling.

Although Qin Yi didn't say anything, the anger and unhappiness all over his body were obvious, as if you Emperor Qin Ying didn't give an explanation, and the master burned your Qinghe Palace.

The father and son here suddenly changed from a traitor who secretly hid the jade seal to a good minister and loyal minister who was framed by a traitor and was more wronged than Dou E.

Many of the courtiers behind him also reacted, and those from the Prince's Mansion faction and the neutral faction, including some wall grass, followed one after another to ask for orders to severely punish Zheng Wan.

They still attacked it in groups, and now they are all defending it. Gu Qing was stunned when she watched it at night, and she was simply amazed. Especially the one who wore a vermilion purple civil official robe and a mustache, Gu Qingwan noticed that he was the first courtier to run out to attack Prince Li's mansion.

Although he was not the first to come out to attack Zheng Wan, he was also ranked among the top three, and this face-changing kung fu should not be too fast.

Sure enough, if you want to be a politician, you have to be absolutely shameless.

As far as her ability to fool Qin Yu is concerned, it is not enough to see it here. Qin Yu is also a politician, and he must be a master of changing his face.

Gu Qingwan felt that in the future, no matter what this guy said to her affectionately, she needed to believe three points, and doubt seven points, getting along with this kind of man, she couldn't be too realistic, she would be sold and returned to the number of people.

Not to mention the exclamation in Gu Qingwan's heart, just say that Zheng Wan's face was really pale, his head was cold sweating, and he looked around in a hurry, all of them were courtiers kneeling on the ground and begging for their lives.

Zheng Wan clenched his fists and turned around, kowtowed to Emperor Qin Ying anxiously, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister really doesn't know how the jade seal of the country ran into the minister's carriage, someone must have framed the minister!" The jade seal of the country must be fake! ”

After Zheng Wan's words, Prince Li raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp and carried the momentum of wind and thunder, and said: "Wei Yongbo's words are light, framed? Oh, when you slandered this king just now, it was ironclad evidence, and the stolen goods fell from your carriage, and there was your Zheng Wan's handwriting in it, which became a frame? Dare to ask Wei Yongbo, just now your carriage caught fire, and Chen Fu'an's offering of treasure in the main hall happened at the same time, how did this king frame you? Could it be that this king still has the ability to predict, knowing that Chen Fu'an will appear today and give birth to an accident, so he prepared a fake jade seal in advance? It was also put on your Zheng Wan's carriage in advance? Didn't Wei Yongbo just keep saying, you don't know Chen Fuan's identity, and Fang Cai's every qiē is an accident? Isn't this too self-contradictory and self-defeating!? ”

Indeed, if it was an accident, it would be impossible for Prince Li's Mansion to predict it in advance, and it would have fought back so perfectly.

But if it wasn't an accident, wouldn't it be for Zheng Wan to admit that it was a conspiracy he launched against Prince Li's mansion by arranging Chen Fu'an to act in the court?

Zheng Wan was speechless at this time, his face was flushed, his cheeks were trembling, and his eyes were even more red and terrifying.

He wanted to say that the jade seal on the Emperor's Dragon case was fake, and it was really in Prince Li's mansion, but the problem was that he didn't know where the real jade seal was, and it wasn't in Prince Li's mansion at all.

Zheng Wan's leader, Sen Sen, felt that he had really dug a pit and buried himself today.

Emperor Qin Ying also knew that there was no room for things to be reversed, so he could only abandon the car to protect the handsome, so he let out a deep sigh, his face was full of disbelief and disappointment, and said: "Wei Yongbo, you have disappointed me too much. ”

Wei Yongbo Zheng Wan only listened to Emperor Qin Ying's words, and knew that today he had to bear all the faults alone. Gritting his teeth and kneeling on the ground, he cried and kowtowed: "Weichen...... Wechen is at fault! Please punish the emperor! ”

He admitted his mistake in one mouth, and he knew that the more decisive and crisp he was in admitting his mistake at this moment, the more Emperor Qin Ying would not blame him for not doing his errand well, but would feel a little guilty.

Only by making Emperor Qin Ying feel guilty will he be better to the queen, as long as the queen can always be favored, he Zheng Wan will have to stand up again.

Emperor Qin Ying clenched his fists, and sure enough, he spoke, and said: "Wei Yongbo Zheng Wan, who conspired to frame my imperial uncle and dissociate the relationship between me and Prince Li's mansion, should be punished in his heart, and he will be punished lightly if he thinks that he has made great contributions to protecting the border and suppressing bandits this time." The deprivation of the title of earl of Weiyongbo Mansion made Zheng Wan think about it behind closed doors for half a year, and before that, he pleaded guilty to Prince Li. ”

Wei Yongbo's Mansion was stripped of his title overnight, and this punishment is almost the same, although Zheng Wan didn't even suffer a little flesh injury, but I believe that Zheng Wan would rather be beaten half to death than be cut off.

This is already the heaviest punishment for the House of Merit.

It seems that Emperor Qin Ying also knows that Prince Li's father and son are not easy to mess with, and if Zheng Wan is not severely punished today, this matter will not be passed.

Zheng Wan's face turned pale, he thanked him, and retreated in a panic.

Emperor Qin Ying personally walked down the steps, and personally helped Prince Li up, very relieved, and rewarded a lot of things, this is the end.

When such a thing happened, the palace banquet could not continue any longer, Emperor Qin Ying looked tired and said: "Today's celebration banquet has been disturbed, and I will set up a separate family banquet in the coming day, and invite the imperial uncle and Ah Yi and Ah Yu to the empress dowager to make amends." ”

After that, Prince Chongli nodded, and he went.

Gu Qingwan stood in the corner of the main hall, her eyes first looked at the legendary heirloom jade seal out of curiosity, but soon, she found that the more she looked at the heirloom jade seal, the more familiar it became.

The jade seal put together by the eunuch revealed the true face of the jade seal of the country, but Gu Qingwan's brows became tighter and tighter.

This look, this size, this color of jade, she seems to have really seen it somewhere, where is it?

She was thinking about it, searching for the memory of the master, wondering if the owner had seen it, but who knew that someone had bumped her shoulder, Gu Qingwan suddenly came back to her senses, and saw Su Zili holding a glass of wine, and at some point she shook her side.

Seeing her coming, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Pour wine for this king!" ”

Gu Qingwan, "......"

However, seeing Su Zili in front of him, a flash of inspiration flashed in Gu Qingwan's mind. She remembered that it was in the secret room of Prince Yi's mansion.

At that time, she found a secret grid from the Buddhist shrine where Guanyin was worshipped, and there was a tablet in it, as well as a jade seal, the jade seal was not the same as the jade seal in front of her, the difference was that the jade seal of Prince Yi's mansion was clearly split, only half of the jade seal of the country!
