The early court of the past two days was like a pond full of ducks, and these ministers became short women in the family, arguing endlessly. The original intention of Huangfu Jingwen was that when he went to the court today, he must be convicted of Huangfu Jingyao's crimes, whether he was distributed or killed, and this matter must be closed as soon as possible.

"King Rui's matter, Qiu Wang, how did you interrogate in the heavenly prison yesterday, did he confess?" Huangfu Jingwen was the first to name Qiu Wang.

"Wechen······ Wechen ······" Qiu Wang stammered for a long time and didn't say a word.

"Say whatever you want, do whatever you want." Huangfu Jingwen was very impatient, this Qiu Wang usually talked endlessly, what is going on today.

"Weichen," Qiu Wang touched the sweat on his head, "King Rui did not confess, according to Weichen's opinion, King Rui was wronged." ”

"What's going on?"

"King Rui was wronged?"

"Didn't you say that the evidence was conclusive?"

The court began to chatter and whisper, Qiu Wang has always been a person from the Queen Mother's side, how could he change the direction of the wind and speak for King Rui, everyone felt confused for a while. Is this the Queen Mother changing her mind or is it something else?

Even Huangfu Jingwen didn't understand what he meant, did this Qiu Wang take the wrong medicine? How did he stand on Huangfu Jingyao's side, I originally wanted to use his mouth to convict Huangfu Jingyao, but who knew that he actually said that King Rui was not guilty.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also feel that King Rui is innocent. Thinking about this matter, it is quite strange, King Rui has been dealing with the Huns at the border, how can he collude with them? It's really unreasonable. Luo Yanfei, the household servant who had earlier asked Huangfu Jingwen to remove King Rui, also reversed his position.

"Luo Yanfei, didn't you play before to ask me to remove King Rui's military power? Why are you pleading for King Rui now? Huangfu Jingwen felt that something was wrong.

"The minister deserves to die, he didn't understand what happened clearly, and he almost killed a loyal minister."

"The minister is also guilty, King Rui has always been loyal, even if he is guilty, he just failed to protect the emperor and concubines, as for rebellion, he must have been framed by traitors." Shao Zhou, who had previously impeached Huangfu Jingyao, also stood up to speak.

Then, dozens of ministers interceded for King Rui, many of whom were still members of the Gaomen clan, in other words, many of the Empress Dowager's cronies.

"Okay, very good, you are very consistent today, it seems that King Rui has indeed won the hearts of the people, and there are so many people who intercede for him." Huangfu Jingwen was furious at this time, he didn't expect that overnight, so many ministers would stand behind Huangfu Jingyao, what was going on, he didn't understand. He can't ask clearly, only after the next court.

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen's opinion, this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated." Chu Huaifeng stood up.

"Retreat from the court today, and discuss this matter later." As soon as Huangfu Jingwen returned to the imperial study, he smashed the teacup on the table.

"The emperor is angry, and he burns you carefully." The eunuch Sicha was taken aback.

"Get out." Huangfu Jingwen is angry now.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please go to Cihe Palace now." A eunuch came in to give a report.

Huangfu Jingwen knew that the Queen Mother must have heard about the affairs of the court and went to him to discuss.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother."

"Weichen see the emperor." I didn't expect Fang Tinglou to be here, it is estimated that he came to report the situation of the early dynasty to the Queen Mother.

"Let's all be flat. Your Majesty, I heard about this morning's incident, what's going on, why did the ministers help Huangfu Jingyao intercede? The Queen Mother's face was very ugly.

"The queen mother, the sons don't know why. As if they had discussed, these people all turned their guns to help Huangfu Jingyao. ”

"Fang Shangshu, you come. Didn't the mourning family order you to make those people make sure to put the emperor to death? ”

Wechen didn't know the reason, but I heard that many adults received a letter last night, and as for the content, Wechen didn't know. Weichen guessed that this was mostly related to Huangfu Jingyao, and I am afraid that these letters were either bribed or threatened. ”

"Hmph, Huangfu Jingyao has a lot of ability, and he can actually strategize in the prison. Who was helping him? The Queen Mother was furious, it seems that some people were caught by Huangfu Jingyao by the pigtails and had to stand in line again.

Indeed, Huangfu Jingyao has never been idle at the border in recent years, and he has always paid close attention to the affairs of important ministers in the court, and over the years, he has mastered a lot of evidence of the ministers' corruption and perversion of the law. He was afraid that there would be such a situation one day, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, so he asked Ning Yanchen to write down everyone's bad deeds in a letter and put them next to these people's pillows. How can you not be afraid when you see these letters with your own accusations appearing on your pillow without noticing? People with ghosts in their hearts are like this, although the Queen Mother instructed Fang Tinglou to allow them benefits, but saving their lives is the key, if these dirty things are really exposed, it is still unknown whether the Queen Mother will protect them. Instead of handing over your life to others, it is better to keep your mouth shut and don't offend the great Buddha of King Rui.

"Queen Mother, what now?" Fang Tinglou asked.

"What else can I do? Everyone is now standing on the side of Huangfu Jingyao, even if there is a secret fold, it is useless. When the time comes, if it is found out that you are the one who made the secret fold, then won't this fire burn on the head of the mourning family? What do you say, Your Majesty? ”

"The queen mother is reasonable, Huangfu Jingyao can't move this time. I think that the top priority is no longer how to deal with Huangfu Jingyao, but to find out who helped him. Also, check the contents of the letters received by those who turned the guns. "Huangfu Jingwen was actually shocked today, this is the first time he has competed head-on with Huangfu Jingyao since he succeeded to the throne, but now looking at the result, he lost. In the past, it was the queen mother who was maneuvering, but this time, he really felt that Huangfu Jingyao's wrist should not be underestimated. I'm afraid that in the future, the threat of Huangfu Jingyao will become bigger and bigger, and now his desire to kill Huangfu Jingyao is much stronger than before. If it's to be late and ······ him Huangfu Jingwen didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"What the emperor said is that the mourning family doesn't believe that a little prince can turn the sky upside down. Isn't there still Chu Xiangwan? The mourning family wants to see if he can still escape? The Queen Mother has another plan in her heart.

"What did the Queen Mother say?" Fang Tinglou didn't understand what the Queen Mother said.

"Alright, you can step back first." Huangfu Jingwen didn't want the rumors of Chu Xiangwan and Huangfu Jingyao to spread to other people's ears.

"Yes, Weichen retired."

"The queen mother, the son said that this matter is a rumor."

"Whether it's a rumor or not, we'll find out when Bian Yi comes back." The Queen Mother left no room for error.

Huangfu Jingwen came out of Cihe Palace and went directly to the Minxun Palace. Chu Xiangwan was about to take Qian'er to the imperial study to find him, and the two of them happened to be one about to enter the door and the other to go out.

"The concubines see the emperor."

"Get up. The body is not well yet, so there is no need to salute. Huangfu Jingwen took Chu Xiangwan's hand.

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to go back to Guanju Palace." Chu Xiangwan stood up and said.

"What's wrong? This Min Xun Hall lives well, why do you want to go back? Hearing that Chu Xiangwan was going back, Huangfu Jingwen's voice suddenly raised.

"This is really not in line with the etiquette system, the emperor, the concubines have been living here, and it will only attract criticism."

"Xiang Wan, I'm in a bad mood, you can accompany me to finish dinner and then go back to Guanju Palace." It was indeed inappropriate for Chu Xiangwan to stay any longer, and Huangfu Jingwen did not object again.

"The emperor is worried, the concubines want to hear it, although it can't solve the worries, at least let the emperor evacuate his emotions."

"What else could it be? Isn't it just the matter of the emperor's respect? After Huangfu Jingwen finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Xiangwan.

"Oh, has King Rui's sin been confirmed?" Chu Xiangwan actually knew what happened this morning, but she could only pretend to be stupid.

"Hmph, everyone is helping him intercede now, and I can only let him go." Huangfu Jingwen wanted to see what Chu Xiangwan said.

"It's inconvenient for the concubines to intervene in the affairs of the court, but since the matter has already come to an end, why is the emperor still bothered?"

"Hmph, it's a pity that this result is not what I wanted."

"Your Majesty, King Rui, he is your brother after all." Chu Xiangwan still spoke to help Huangfu Jingyao speak.

"Why do you want to speak for Huangfu Jingyao? Didn't you say that it was inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of the court? Huangfu Jingwen suddenly became sharp.

"The emperor is angry, and the concubines just say more because they don't want to see the emperor's brothers fratricidal," Chu Xiangwan knelt down again, "Please punish the emperor." ”

"That's it, I'm too excited, you get up." Huangfu Jingwen helped Chu Xiangwan up again, and when he heard Chu Xiangwan pleading for Huangfu Jingyao, for a moment, he couldn't control his thoughts.

"Your Majesty."

Chu Xiangwan returned to Guanju Palace that night, since she was injured, she felt more and more strange every time she faced Huangfu Jingwen, although Huangfu Jingwen was still as considerate to her as before, but Huangfu Jingwen's often inadvertent sharpness made Chu Xiangwan feel that the two of them were getting along more and more uncomfortable.

Huangfu Jingwen went to the prison that night, and as soon as he entered the prison, he saw Huangfu Jingyao lying on the bed, like that, it didn't look like he was in prison at all, his bearing, even if he was wearing a bloodstained middle coat, it still made people dare not slack off. This is the demeanor of the emperor, a noble emperor.

"The emperor has arrived."

Hearing this, Huangfu Jingyao slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the small bed. "Weichen see the emperor."

"Excuse me." Huangfu Jingwen sat outside the cell.

"It's the first time that our monarch has spoken through the cell door." Huangfu Jingwen used "monarch" instead of "brother".

"Yes, but Wechen hopes this is the last time." Huangfu Jingyao did not show weakness either.

"Well said, as long as Jingyao has always been loyal to me, loyal to Da Zhou, and does not think about wrongdoing, I believe that such a situation will never happen again." Huangfu respects the text with a pun.

"Hehe, the emperor laughed, some things are not something that can be done without thinking about it. What is yours is yours, and even if you take it, you will lose it one day. "The two of them seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact, you are already a dark tide coming and going.

"I think so, too. The fourth brother can go back. I hope the fourth brother will not come to this place again. After Huangfu Jingwen finished speaking, he left the prison without looking back.
