After these folds were presented, the saint still had an ambiguous attitude, and the number of officials who folded them became more and more, and a momentum gradually formed. In particular, the Pei family, the prince's mother family, and their henchmen, spared no effort to advocate the wonders of establishing the grandson, and there was a humane saying that "the prince is weak, and the grandson can be safe". And the prince has indeed been sick since March, it is said that he is still very sick, and the imperial doctor goes back and forth every day, and the decoction continues, and the princess has stayed up for several nights in a row, and she is also sick.

At this moment, even the cabinet, which had been silent, reacted. Although the attitude of the five cabinet ministers was vague, looking at the meaning, it seemed that they had no objection to the opposition of the grandson. Among them, when Xie Ge Lao was lecturing on the scriptures for the saint, he also stroked a handful of gray beards and said earnestly: "Mo is good at shooting light tribulations, and he should be cautious when he is poor." ”

This is to say that because of the high value of force, we should not focus on courage and ignore the economy and politics, and ignore the suffering of the people. But when the Holy Lord heard this, he always felt that there was something else in it. This tone of persuasion, no matter how you listen to it, is inseparable from the matter of Li Taisun.

Looking at Xie Ge Lao's wrinkled face, all of which had been cut off by the wrinkles, the anger that had gathered in the saint's heart for many days finally erupted at this moment.

Of course, he didn't break out in Guangming Palace, let alone reprimand Xie Ge Lao on the spot, who was a speaker. He broke out only after the court ended and sent Xie Ge Lao away with a kind attitude.

At that time, the saint had already returned to the Chengming Palace, and Fu Geng was sitting under him, slightly drooping his eyelids and looking at his feet.

The saint said with a light face: "Fu Qing's family." I remember that you have something in your hand that I showed it some time ago. I couldn't remember what it was for a while, but can Fu Qing's family still remember? ”

Fu Geng said quietly: "Your Majesty, the things presented by the minister some time ago are small volumes written by the Emperor of the former dynasty. ”

The emperor glanced at Fu Geng condescendingly, and said indifferently: "What is the purpose of Fu Qing's family to give me the things that have died in the country?" ”

Fu Geng got up from avoidance, knelt down and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Come on." Don't give me this. So saying, he straightened up. Duanrong said: "Fu Geng listens to the order." ”

Fu Geng hurriedly knelt on the ground with his hands and knelt to listen to the holy decree. But I heard the emperor's voice with hidden anger coming over, and said: "Remember, the left deputy governor of the Imperial Inspectorate, Yu Shi Fu Geng, the Dali Temple, Tang Lone, and the political envoy Huang Fu." Re-investigate the case of Xu Heng, the protector of the country, who collaborated with the enemy. Chin this. ”

The emperor said. The pen supervisor carried the pen like flying. The holy oracle was written on the edict paper, and finally the jade seal was sealed.

Fu Geng knelt on the ground and said, "The minister's order." ”

The emperor didn't look at Fu Geng, but only said to Xia Manxi, the eunuch standing on the side: "You will go to the remaining two families immediately to announce the decree." ”

Xia Manxi hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave obeys the order." With that, he respectfully held the edict paper in both hands. I don't mention it when I go to the decree.

said Fu Geng, since the Chengming Hall came out, there has been no expression on his face. It wasn't until he got into the carriage of the Hou Mansion that a sneer appeared on his lips after the curtain was closed.

At that time, Xu Heng, the protector of the country, held heavy power, and the father and son guarded the northwest and southern Yunnan, with nearly 500,000 soldiers, and were the courtiers that the emperor relied on very much.

Later, Xu Heng's father and son resigned from the military power, returned to Beijing with their family, and were crowned the grandfather of the country by the first emperor. Although they are in the capital, the two generals in the northwest and southern Yunnan are still the old departments under the command of the Xu family, and the prestige of Xu Heng and his son in the army is still very high.

On the day of Xu Guogong's 60th birthday, due to a small theft case, Pei Yuan, who was then the Yin of Jinling Mansion, and Zhou Qian, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, found a letter from Xu Guogong's home.

This letter was written by Marshal Daze of the Jackal State, who was an enemy of the Han Dynasty at the time. In the letter, the leader of the enemy army explained in detail how they pretended to attack the city, how the old army of Xu Guogong was defeated and lost, and how the enemy army captured several cities in a row, so as to coerce the Holy General to return the power to Xu Heng's father and son, and so on. At the end of that letter, there was the tiger talisman seal of Marshal Daze's army: the seal of the eagle head and snake body.

As soon as this letter came out, the first emperor was furious and immediately sent the Xu family to prison.

Since the Qin Dynasty, military generals in the army have always had the saying of "raising thieves and respecting themselves", but this letter is the best proof of this. The first emperor was afraid that the Xu family would rebel, and after secretly arresting the Xu family, he united with the Pei family's forces in the army, and summoned the generals of Xu Heng's old department into Beijing on the grounds of commendation, and killed them all in one fell swoop by the dragon guards in the alley in front of the Wenhua Palace.

On that day, within the palace walls and in the lanes, the blood of nearly 100 generals was splashed on the spot, the severed limbs on the square brick ground were scattered, and the blood on the glazed tiles was like an infusion, as if it was a blood rain, and the palace people who sprinkled and swept it had not been washed for several months.

Until now, in the brick cracks of the alley in front of the Wenhua Palace, there are still dark black blood stains.

Since then, the first emperor moved the place of Yanxi from the Wenhua Hall to the Chengming Palace, but the Wenhua Hall has been vacant after being renovated and has never been used again.

Thinking about the past, Fu Geng's face became more and more calm. After returning home, he asked someone to invite Hu Zhong in.

Hu Zhong is already a man of sixty, his beard and hair are slightly white, but his spirit is very strong, and his eyes are clear and introverted, containing the light of wisdom.

As soon as Hu Zhong entered the house, Fu Geng sent everyone out, and asked Xingzhou to guard at the door, and Fang whispered that the emperor had ordered Xu Heng to re-investigate the case. Hu Zhong twisted his beard and smiled: "My lord's plan is wonderful, and he forced the saint to do it lightly and skillfully. If it weren't for the Pei family's eagerness to set up a grandson, they would not have asked the saint to see the current situation in the court, and they would not have re-investigated the old case. Now that this will be made, the Pei family is only afraid that they will panic. ”

Fu Geng said coldly: "The Pei family obtained the Sacred Heart with this case back then. On the day of the end of the Xu clan, Pei Yu was pointed out by the first emperor to marry today, Pei Youguan to the left servant of the military department, Pei Kuanguan to the governor of the northwest camp and Beiying, Pei Shou supervised the army in Liaoxi. Later, because of the help of the Pei family, it has now become the supreme of the Ninth Five, and the Pei family is even more powerful. ”

Hearing Fu Geng directly name the Empress Yuan, Hu Zhong couldn't help but look slightly solemn and said, "My lord, be cautious." ”

Fu Geng flicked the sleeves of his robe and said indifferently: "Mr. thinks, how do you think about the Pei family today?" ”

Hu Zhong groaned: "In the past, I received the grace; Today, I am afraid of the situation. ”

Fu Geng nodded and said, "Mr. is really in one word." The jealousy of the monarch and the minister is the opportunity for us to wait. The Pei family has been in the limelight for decades, and now it's time to collect it. By chance, I found the seal of the eagle's head and snake body, but the case of the protector of the country took a turn for the better. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Geng's face was already cold. (To be continued......)
