At that time, the case of the protector of the country alarmed the government and the opposition, and the first emperor used this case to regain the military power in the northwest and southern Yunnan. Later, there was a sixth prince Liu Yun, who made great achievements and won surprisingly, conquered the Jackal Country, and made the first emperor feel at ease to pass the throne to Liu Jian, who was still the second prince at that time.

In the heart of the first emperor, the new emperor Liu Jian has the help of his younger brother and the full support of the Pei family behind him, and he will definitely be able to sit firmly in the Dragon Court. As for the fear that his relatives would become troubles, he couldn't care about it at that time.

The power of the four great clans has been entrenched for nearly a hundred years, and the contradiction between the gate valve family and the central government has been deep. With the help of the Pei family to sit firmly in the country, it was also a helpless move of the first emperor.

Subsequently, it was precisely because of the existence of the British King Liu Yun that the military power in the northwest was dispersed, and the Marquis of Weibei became more and more powerful in Liaodong, but the power of the Pei clan was weakened a lot. As for the other clans, with the promulgation of the new policy and the implementation of the system of liuguan, there are gradually signs of loosening.

Now that the old case is being reopened, the truth of the matter of Xu Heng, the protector of the country, collaborating with the enemy, is actually not important at all. Even if Xu Heng really collaborated with the enemy back then, Fu Geng would turn it into an unjust case. This is the result that the emperor wants, and it is also the result that Fu Geng wants.

Thinking of this, the coldness on Fu Geng's face was replaced by a light smile. He took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said lightly: "Speaking of which, a queen who has been dead for many years can still control the middle palace and order important ministers, which can be regarded as a great misfortune for this dynasty." Now that everything is in place, that Queen Pei has no choice but to ask her to lean back again. ”

Hu Zhong looked puzzled when he heard this, and after pondering for a while, he asked in a low voice, "My lord has always talked about the Empress Yuan. Is it ......?"

Fu Geng smiled faintly and said, "The Holy Middle Palace is empty, I just want to fill the Holy Harem with a few people." ”

Hu Zhong couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and asked, "Why did your lord say this?" ”

Fu Geng glanced at Hu Zhong with a smile and said in a rambling voice: "Don't you know, sir, there are fair ladies in ancient times, and gentlemen are good." Is there tossing and turning today, can't you think about it? I, as a courtier, want to share my worries for the king and relieve my lovesickness. ”

Listened to this. The look of surprise on Hu Zhong's face became more and more intense. Hesitantly, he said, "Do you want to ......?"

Fu Geng nodded and said, "Exactly." The back position around me should be filled in now. ”

Hu Zhong's expression immediately changed from surprise to shock. He looked at Fu Geng with an unbelievable look, and after a long time, that look gradually turned into a sudden realization. Finally, a smile appeared on his face. Gently stroked his palm: "The old man understands." This trick of the adult is a plan to draw salary. It's wonderful. ”

Fu Geng took the teacup for a long time. He smiled lightly and said, "That Xu Heng still has a granddaughter alive. ”

Although he only said one sentence, however, the message revealed in these words. But it was enough for Hu Zhong to not react for a long time.

No, it's not that he didn't react. It's that he obviously reacted, but he still couldn't believe it.

Fu Geng was obviously prepared, and even the descendants of the Xu family held it in his hands. It seems that he has been plotting to overturn the case for a long time. It's just that it may have been because the time has not come, so he has been holding still.

Now, by chance, things have taken a great turn for the better. Fu Geng just took advantage of the situation at this time and threw out the things that had been prepared for a long time in his hands in the same way.

The shocked expression on Hu Zhong's face was in Fu Geng's eyes. He knew that when he said this, the old gentleman was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well one night.

However, he was ready, and now it was a matter of course. As long as he gently pushes it, whether it is the Pei family or the prince, he is afraid that a few pieces of meat will fall off his body.

Fu Geng looked at the tea cup and smiled without saying a word, with an indescribable deep meaning in that smile.

Fu Jun has heard of these court matters. But no matter how much she heard about it, she couldn't connect the rotting corpse of the Shanglin Bureau with the retrial of the case of the Protector of the Kingdom.

Recently, Mrs. Xu has rarely come, and every time she returns to the rain hall, she looks in a hurry, and she has to leave without saying a few words. The bits and pieces of news that Fu Jun knew were obtained during the time when Xu Niangzi came and went in a hurry.

The retrial of the Huguo Gong case caused great turmoil in the court.

Perhaps because of this great movement, it seems to be quiet on the outside. Therefore, Fu Jun didn't know anything about this, only that this case was likely to be a big injustice, and the letter was probably forged by someone back then.

And no matter how much information there is, Xu Niangzi didn't reveal much.

Fortunately, Fu Jun only needs to know a rough idea of the political situation. Many things can be known just by looking at the general trend. As for those specific power struggles, Fu Jun, a small policeman in his previous life, was neither good at nor interested.

The days slipped by calmly, and at the beginning of April, Fu Jun suddenly received a message from Xu Niangzi's entrustment, saying that he was going to leave for a while, and asked Fu Jun not to worry.

This message came very abruptly, which was extremely inconsistent with Xu Niangzi's usual style. Fu Jun was surprised, but also a little worried.

So, she looked for a day and asked Fu Geng. She knew that Xu Niangzi and Fu Geng had been in secret contact all along. When he was in Gusu, Fu Geng could even send a secret letter to Xu Niangzi. From this, it can be seen that there is obviously something between the two.

However, the result of Fu Jun's inquiry this time was quite disappointing.

Facing Fu Jun's question, Fu Geng just said lightly: "Steward Xu has some things to deal with, I'm afraid I won't come over for a long time." ”

Fu Jun asked Fu Geng again: "What is the matter?" Does it matter? Why did it take so long? ”

Fu Geng smiled lightly and said: "I don't know much about my father, I'll talk about it later." ”

Looking at his father's calm expression, Fu Jun didn't believe what he said at all.

Fu Geng must know where Xu Niangzi is, but he just doesn't want to tell Fu Jun.

However, Fu Jun didn't say anything more. As long as Xu Niangzi is fine, as for what she wants to deal with, Fu Jun doesn't want to ask too much.

It was precisely because of Xu Niangzi's departure that Fu Jun's channels for getting news from the outside world were all transferred to Huaisu's side.

What Huai Su knows, on a level, is much more marketable than Xu Niangzi. Many things are just rumors, and Fu Jun has the right to use it as a pastime, so just hear about it.

The last bit of warmth in the late spring of April passed quietly in these trivial matters. In the blink of an eye, it was May, the early summer of Jinling City arrived as scheduled, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion finally ushered in a major event.

Fu Jia and Lu.

Compared with last year's Fu Zhen's ceremony, Fu Jia's ceremony is obviously more grand. In the end, she is the daughter of a concubine, which can be seen from the importance of the Hou Mansion to this matter.

In addition to practicing archery every day, Fu Jun also prepared a gift for her second sister. (To be continued......)
