Ji Ze was imprisoned in prison!

After the king of Chu learned this news, he frowned and did not speak for a long time.

Empress Ye couldn't understand King Chu's thoughts, so she simply opened her mouth and asked, "Ah Yun, this matter is really strange. Did you come up with something? ”

King Chu's eyes flashed, and he pulled the corners of his lips: "I haven't figured out the reason for this for a while." One thing is certain, though. My father should soon allow me to leave the palace. ”

As for the rumors, although they are depressing, they are not really harmful.

Empress Ye snorted and said hatefully, "This time it's cheaper King Wei." You stayed in Yanfu Palace for a few days, and he took the opportunity to flatter your father and win people's hearts. ”

A hint of gloom flashed on King Chu's face, and he said in a deep voice: "He doesn't want to bargain for anything." ”

The first time the two brothers met, neither of them could gain the upper hand, and each secretly hated the other for dragging himself into the rumors and making a bad reputation.

Seeing that King Chu's face was unhappy, Queen Ye comforted: "That's it! I don't want to be unpleasant. By the way, Yuan Zhao has been in Shandong for so long, did he send someone to send a message back? ”

King Chu nodded and said, "Yes, I just received the news two days ago. Chen Yuanzhao is doing his best to track down the clues and whereabouts of the assassins, and as soon as there is news, he will immediately order someone to send a letter to the capital. ”

Empress Ye stretched her brows: "That's good." Yuan Zhao is really sharp and decisive in doing things, with his help, King Qin and King Wei are definitely not your opponents. ”

King Chu tugged at the corners of his lips, but there was not much smile in his eyes: "The queen mother is relieved too early." Not only did I have the intention of wooing, but King Wei was also secretly wooing Chen Yuanzhao. ”

Which side will Chen Yuanzhao stand on. I don't know.

Empress Ye said disappreciatively: "I am Yuan Zhao's aunt, when he returns to the capital, I will talk to him in person." Yuan Zhao will definitely be on our side. ”

Mother and son were whispering. The inner servants beside the emperor came to announce the emperor's message: "The emperor has a decree, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been serving in the palace for many days, and he has worked very hard, so he can go back to the house to rest today." ”

The king of Chu was busy receiving the order and thanking him, and his heart finally fell to the ground steadily.

His father lifted him from house arrest, apparently suspicious for the most part.

The truth of the assassination will wait for Wei Ninghou to return to Beijing. Everything is naturally clear

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the emperor has lifted the ban on the king of Chu. The king of Chu had already returned to the palace of the king of Chu at this time. One of the guards whispered.

King Wei snorted and waved his hand to make the guards stand back. And then. Lost in thought.

What is the purpose of Wei Ninghou begging his father to send Ji Ze to the prison?

Could it be that it was none other than Ji Ze who instructed the assassins to secretly assassinate Wei Ninghou?

The son wants to kill Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu also unceremoniously did this to his son, a good scene of father and son. It's exciting. only cheapened the King of Chu, and returned to the King of Chu after a few days of house arrest.

After this incident, there is no need for the two brothers to pretend to be harmonious. For the position of the prince, each has a strange plan and uses its own means!

The king of Chu secretly wooed Chen Yuanzhao, so naturally he couldn't hide it from the king of Wei.

This King of Chu didn't know that Chen Yuanzhao had a grudge against their mother and son, and he still had the idea of using Chen Yuanzhao. It's ridiculous.

Thinking of this, King Wei pulled the corners of his lips sarcastically.

But. Chen Yuanzhao was deep in thought, and he had to guard against it

According to the practice of the Great Yan Dynasty, the officials who entered the heavenly prison were personally interrogated and convicted by the emperor.

To put it simply, as long as you enter the prison, there is basically no good end. If you don't lose your head, it's already the emperor's grace.

Gu Caiping couldn't figure it out, he was fine before, why was Ji Ze suddenly arrested and put in prison?

After the six gods cried for two days, Gu Caiping finally calmed down a little and went to Hanyu to discuss how to save Ji Ze from prison.

Hanyu shirked in every possible way and refused to accept this conversation.

Gu Caiping was angry and anxious, and her words became scathing: "I think you wish the son of the world would never come out!" Let me tell you, you are just a maid who serves people, even if you become the concubine of the Hou Ye, you are a lowly identity who will never be able to get on the stage. Even if you give birth to a son in the future, the title of this marquis will not be your son's head. You die of that heart before it's too late! ”

Hanyu was not annoyed or angry, and replied calmly: "The princess is too worried. I knew that I was low, and I never dared to have such extravagant hopes. The prince was arrested and put in prison, and I was also very anxious and anxious. But this is the emperor's personal will, no matter how much money is spent, no one dares to let the son out of prison. You should know this in your heart. ”

After a pause, he said: "At this time, all we can do is wait for Hou Ye to come back." Everything is in charge of the Hou Ye. It only makes sense for you to take care of your two children with peace of mind. ”

Gu Caiping was choked for a moment, and then, tears welled up in her eyes: "What you said is light." The son of the world is suffering in the prison, and my heart is as uncomfortable as a needle."

Hanyu glanced at the crying Gu Caiping sympathetically.

Poor Gu Caiping hasn't understood until now. Ji Ze entered the prison this time, but I am afraid that he will never come out again.

Gu Caiping went back to Gu's mansion again, cried to his parents, and begged Master Gu to save people.

Old Master Gu blushed with an angry face: "The emperor personally issued an order to put Ji Ze in prison." At this time, it is too late for our Gu family to clear up, and we must not move forward, so as not to be affected. Don't make a fuss, obediently go back to Ji's house and wait for news. ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter is unusual, and with Master Gu's shrewdness and tactfulness, how can he take such a risk.

It was really a mistake that day, and Gu Caiping was willful and married Ji Ze to be the successor. Ji Ze has three long and two short, what should Gu Caiping do with the child?

Gu Caiping's tears rippled when she was scolded, and she cried and begged Mrs. Gu: "Mother, you intercede with your father for me, you can't save the son of the world back, at least help find out the news." ”

Mrs. Gu sighed helplessly: "Picking apples, it's not that my father and mother won't help you." But the stakes are too great. Your father will never get involved, and your mother can't help it. ”

Gu Caiping's eyes were red and swollen from crying. But Master Gu didn't relent, and Gu Caiping had no choice but to go back to the Marquis of Weining's mansion

More than half a month has passed in a flash.

Gu Caiping and the others were looking forward to the return of Weining Hou, and I don't know how many people inside and outside the court are paying close attention to this matter.

Wei Ninghou's injuries were not light. Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries. Coupled with the superb medical skills of the doctors in the Tai Hospital, and the continuous delivery of various precious supplements, Wei Ninghou was finally able to barely take the carriage.

The imperial doctors did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately reported to the emperor. The emperor quickly made an order and ordered someone to take the Marquis of Weining into the palace.

The emperor sympathized with Wei Ninghou's injuries and was inconvenient to move around, so he specially allowed Wei Ninghou to enter the palace in a sedan chair. This grace. is definitely the first person among the noble generals, which is enviable.

Wei Ninghou's right arm was bandaged, and his body was also tightly tangled. The whole person looked stiff and ridiculous. With this appearance, it is impossible to kneel even if you want to.

"The minister has seen the emperor." Wei Ninghou could only stand and bow, accidentally involving the wound, and the expression on his face was very exciting.

The emperor sighed: "That's it." You've been hurt so much. Don't worry about these red things. ”

Then, he picked up a piece of letter from the table, which was the letter that the Marquis of Wei Ning invited someone to send to the emperor that day: "I have accepted what you requested, and I have arrested Ji Ze in the prison." No one is allowed to visit or approach. I've been waiting for more than half a month, should you give me an explanation and explanation now? ”

A trace of obscurity and pain flashed in Wei Ninghou's eyes: "Please ask the emperor to retreat left and right, and the ministers have important matters to report alone." ”

The emperor nodded, waved his hand, and the eunuchs and guards on the side retreated outside the Chongzheng Palace.

Wei Ninghou took a deep breath. said in a low voice: "The minister sneaked back to the capital that day because someone sent a message to the minister. The minister's wife had an affair with another man. She was also pregnant. When the minister heard this, he was furious, and after arranging everything, he hurried back to the capital."

Wei Ninghou did not hide it, and told everything about the affairs between Xiao Zou and Ji Ze.

What is the most unbearable humiliation for a man? Of course, it was his wife Hongxing who went out of the wall.

What's even more unbearable is that the man who cuckolded himself is his own son.

Wei Ninghou suffered such a great humiliation, and he couldn't speak out, and he didn't know how aggrieved he was. At this time, he had to explain everything to the emperor, and his old face was hot.

As everyone knows, the emperor is also a little weak when he listens.

As the Son of Heaven, no one dares to pry into his corner.

However, in addition to being impulsive, he put on a green hat for his courtiers, and he wore it for several years, and by the way, he also asked the courtiers to raise his son for him

Accidentally a little distracted. The emperor quickly came back to his senses and hesitated for a moment before comforting: "The person is dead, you should also relax, don't always remember this matter." ”

Wei Ninghou smiled bitterly, his smile was mixed with a bit of indescribable bitterness and anger: "The minister has also thought that people die like lights going out, and there is no need to always worry about it." Unexpectedly, the minister was willing to settle the matter, but that bastard held a grudge and secretly instructed the assassin to assassinate me. ”

Thinking of the danger of that night, Wei Ninghou felt palpitations, and his face sank: "There are many of those dead soldiers, and they are all highly skilled. Fortunately, I was good at water, and I was able to get out by jumping into the Bianhe River. Later, he was rescued by a passing farmer, otherwise, Weichen would have returned to Huangquan long ago. ”

The emperor had already expected this fact, but when he heard these words with his own ears, he still felt shocked: "How dare you be sure that those dead soldiers were sent by Ji Ze to assassinate you?" When the corpse was investigated, what was found was the waist plate of the Chu Palace."

"It's just a ploy to blame others!" Wei Ninghou said categorically: "The king of Chu is kind by nature, and he has no grievances with Weichen, so it is impossible to attack Weichen." ”

Hearing these words in the ears of the emperor, it is very pleasing to the ears. However, the reassuring words still have to be said: "The criminal department found this waist card and presented it to me." I was furious at that time, and immediately put the king of Chu under house arrest in the palace, while ordering people to intensify the investigation of the matter. It wasn't until your news came that I let the King of Chu go home. ”

Wei Ninghou thanked the emperor gratefully.

There were no outsiders present, and the emperor also put down the frame of the Son of Heaven, and talked a little heart-to-heart: "Now that your injuries are half healed, people have returned." Next, it's time to think about what to do with Ji Ze. ”

The so-called disposal, of course, can be dealt with strictly, or it can be gently let go, depending on Wei Ninghou's attitude.

A cold light flashed in Wei Ninghou's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Such a son who dares to kill his father is such a rebellious man, don't let the ministers do it!" Please also ask the emperor to deal with it impartially. ”

Assassinating an important minister of the court is a capital crime of beheading!

The emperor didn't expect that the Marquis of Wei Ning would be so ruthless that he wanted his son's life, and he sighed after a moment of silence: "That's it! Just do it as you please! However, in order to convict him, there must always be conclusive evidence. The dead were nowhere to be found, and no evidence was left."

"Since he dares to do such a thing, he must have planned carefully and will not leave any tricks." Wei Ninghou said in a deep voice: "The evidence is probably not found. ”

"So, there's no need to look for any evidence. There is no need to publicize it. Just dispose of him in prison in private. ”

The emperor nodded appreciatively.

Wei Ninghou was reluctant to publicize this matter, but he also refused to let Ji Ze go. In this way, it is also easy, let people send a cup of poisoned wine to the prison, and publicize it as a violent illness and death.

At this time, the emperor secretly sighed in his heart that Wei Ninghou was ruthless, and he was also ruthless to his own son. Little did he know that he would soon face the same anger

The prison has a foul smell all year round, making people short of breath and nauseated.

However, after staying for a long time, I will become numb.

Ji Ze was in the innermost room of the prison, and someone brought food and water every day, as well as clean clothes. However, no one came to interrogate them.

Not only did the Marquis of Wei Ning not die, but he also sent a letter, and then the emperor ordered someone to put him in prison. One pass is more than half a month.

The emperor's intention is obvious, to wait for Wei Ninghou to come back before interrogating and convicting

These days, he has thought through the matter from beginning to end to make sure that he has left nothing wrong. Even if Wei Ninghou guessed that it was his hand, there was no definite evidence!

Besides, he is the only heir of the Ji family, no matter how angry Wei Ninghou is, it is impossible to poison him!

Ji Ze comforted himself repeatedly in his heart, and he was quite calm on the surface. However, as time passed, my heart became more and more anxious.

The dungeon was dimly lit, and it was almost impossible to tell the difference between day and night. Only the jailer brought two meals a day.

When Ji Ze heard the footsteps, he was shocked.

The jailer had just left. Who's coming?

An unexpected and familiar face came into view.

Ji Ze was caught off guard, and his pupils contracted suddenly. It took a moment to react, squeezing out an excited expression: "Father, you finally came back safely." ”
