265 Pei Bi's death

By the time they returned to the city, the night market had already opened, and Princess Ali was running around excitedly in front of the stalls, the bells on her feet constantly ringing in the wind. Li Weiyang looked at the corners of her fiery red skirt fluttering like flying, and couldn't help but smile on his face. Princess Ali suddenly raised a monster mask with three eyes, put it on her face like a child, rushed to Li Weiyang, and then uncovered the mask at once, and said happily: "Jia'er, do you see that this mask is good-looking?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled and nodded: "It looks good." ”

Princess Ali almost jumped up with joy, she turned to Guo Dun and said, "Let's buy this." Guo Dun glanced at the extremely ugly mask with disgust, and couldn't help but say, "What's so good about this?" It looks black and ugly! ”

Princess Ali glanced at the mask in her hand, the thick ink color did look a little strange, she wrinkled her nose, and quickly ran back to the mask stall, and said to the boss, "Give me a more beautiful one." ”

When the boss saw that they were gorgeously dressed and obviously came from a wealthy family, he immediately put out all the masks on the stall for her to choose. Princess Ali was dazzled, lifting this for a while, picking up that for a while, but she was reluctant to put down one of them, and Guo Dun looked at her with a smile next to her.

Yuan Lie sighed: "This mask is really stupid, it's a shame that your fourth brother is still so patient." ”

Li Weiyang's eyes fell on the pair and said, "It seems that Princess Ali also likes the fourth brother, maybe our family's happy event is approaching." ”

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Director Guo laughed and said: "The so-called fierce girl is afraid of pestering Lang, the fourth brother is always staring at others, and he really can't get rid of him for a while, and it's not strange that Princess Ali will be moved by him, fortunately, the two of them can always play together." ”

Li Weiyang nodded with a smile, Yuan Lie glanced at Princess Ali and Guo Dun who were talking and laughing, and couldn't help but shake his head, originally he thought that Princess Ali had a strong love for King Jing Yuanying, but now it seems that Princess Ali is also the most free and easy person among them. Serious like, hard work, brave confession, if not, then resolutely give up, and seek new happiness. He smiled and said, "Then you should go back to tell Mrs. SΓΉ Guo as soon as possible, and let her be happy." ”

Li Weiyang's gaze became distant, and he seemed to mutter: "If the original Nalan girl could have learned to let go earlier like Princess Ali, maybe the outcome of the matter would not have turned out like that." ”

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Director Guo was silent for a while, he knew that Li Weiyang was calm and light on the surface, but in fact, he had always been haunted by Nalan Xue's death. Every time Nalan Xue is mentioned, Li Weiyang is an indifferent divine invitation, but in Director Guo's view, Li Weiyang is actually looking at Nalan Xue as a confidant. Because of this, she was so angry when she found out that the other party had deceived her. Knowing that the other party has hardships, they can't forgive lightly, because they are all people who are equally stubborn to the end, and they will not change until death.

Director Guo sighed, looked at the stars in the distance and said, "I don't know where the second brother is now." ”

Li Weiyang heard him mention Guo Yan, but sneered: "No matter where he is, he will never want to return to Dadu in this life." ”

Although Director Guo hoped that Guo Yan would come back, he also had to admit that for Guo Yan, most of them were a place that made him feel sad. Guo Yan once betrayed Nalan Xue because of his family, and then left the family because of Nalan Xue, the second brother actually didn't do anything thoroughly, which is also the cowardly side of his personality.

Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the second brother will be fine, he just wants to live again in a different environment, and it can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Miss Nalan." ”

Director Guo blinked and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to do with it, it's just that my mother is a little worried." ”

Yuan Lie heard the two of them talking, and he leaned his head over and said, "Instead of thinking about the person who has gone away, you should think about how to solve the current situation." ”

Under the night, Yuan Lie's handsome face shone brightly, and those amber eyes made people feel very good inexplicably, Li Weiyang said with a smile: "You mean that Pei Bi was taken to the prison by His Majesty today?" ”

Yuan Lie nodded as a matter of course: "If Pei Bi is also killed by the emperor, then the main branch of the Pei family will be cut off, and Empress Pei will not give up the last single seedling of the Pei family so lightly." Although she can continue to promote the Pei family's side branches, but it is not a blood relative, how can she entrust all her trust after a layer? So I guess she'll find a way to rescue Pei Bi. ”

Li Weiyang's smile became indifferent: "Don't forget jΓ¬, Pei Bi committed a capital crime." ”

Yuan Lie shook his head, his eyes deep: "If he really pulled out a dagger and stabbed the emperor at that time, it would be a capital crime, and now it is a bit far-fetched." If Empress Pei finds other evidence, I'm afraid that there will be twists and turns in this matter......" Li Weiyang finished hearing this sentence and showed a thoughtful expression.

Director Guo was obviously also a little worried: "King Xu is right, we should prepare early." ”

Li Weiyang raised her head and looked at the full moon in the sky, the bright moonlight fell on her beautiful face, dyed with a sense of mystery, and it took a long time for her to speak: "Since this game has been set up, we can't let the chess pieces in the game jump out again, otherwise the Pei family will regain the possibility of prestige." Cutting off Pei Bi's life is equivalent to cutting off the main trunk of the Pei family, and this hundred-year-old tree will slowly wither and die, don't you say? ”

Yuan Lie seemed to have a deep meaning when he heard her speak, so he couldn't help but pause slightly, and then smiled: "What you said is very reasonable, it seems that we need to add more firewood to the stove." Let's go, you should go back and rest early. ”

At this moment, there were people coming and going in the night market, and someone accidentally touched Li Weiyang, and Yuan Lie hurriedly hugged her tightly from behind for fear that she would fall. Director Guo saw it from a distance, just smiled slightly, deliberately slowed down, and fell behind the two of them. Guo Dun came over at some point and said with a smile: "Have you let go of it all now?" ”

Director Guo was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at his fourth brother, who had always been honest: "How do you know?" ”

Guo Dun sighed and said: "Although my brain is not as smart as yours, I am not so stupid, do you remember what the third brother once said in order to quit the five poisons?" Later, I went back and thought about it, if you didn't like her, how could there be so many paintings in the study? No ordinary brother would do that, right? The third brother also loves to paint, but he has never painted so much! ”

You can hide everything in this world, but you can't hide your like. When you like someone, the way you look at her will be completely different. Guo Dao was silent, Guo Dun looked at him, and said with a trace of worry in his expression: "You haven't answered the question I asked just now, have you really let go now?" ”

Director Guo was silent for a moment, his eyes closed, as if he didn't think about anything, and seemed to be thinking about how to answer.

"Hey, don't be upset." Guo Dun whispered comfortingly.

Director Guo opened his eyes and laughed slowly: "If I want to be sad, why do I have to follow them all the time?" Now that I've let go, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Guo Dunhu looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't help but say, "Are you telling the truth?" He has always known this younger brother, he seems to be debauched and does everything, but in fact he has his own beliefs and persistence, if he likes someone, he will definitely persist for a long, long time.

Director Guo smiled faintly and said, "Hey, it's an eventful time now, my mind has to be used to think about how to deal with the enemy, don't worry, I know what I should do." ”

Guo Dun glanced at the backs of the two people in front of him who were so harmonious, sighed and said, "It's good if you think about it, after all, you and her are absolutely impossible." ”

Director Guo was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, took the initiative to hold his fourth brother's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You have time to worry about me, why don't you think about how to marry your lively and active beautiful lady into the door!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Princess Ali with a smile, but he didn't know when, two noble men in gorgeous clothes ran to talk to Princess Ali. Guo Dun suddenly sank his face and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect these two guys to dare to take advantage of my absence to hook up with my woman, but they are really tired and crooked!" After finishing speaking, he had already thrown off Director Guo, and walked over there in three steps and two steps.

Director Guo suddenly laughed, and the laughter suddenly spread far away, alarming Li Weiyang and Yuan Lie. Li Weiyang turned his head, looked at Director Guo who was smiling in the crowd, and couldn't help but say, "Fifth brother, what's wrong?" What is it that makes you laugh so happily? ”

Director Guo smiled at Li Weiyang and said, "Look at the fourth brother, he ......" Li Weiyang turned his head to look, but saw that Guo Dun had already carried a disciple in his hand at some point, and he looked angry.

Princess Ali was stunned next to her, and only after a while did she shout loudly: "Oh, what are you doing, people are just asking for directions!" ”

Li Weiyang laughed, but Yuan Lie shook his head: "This Princess Ali is really simple, she knows at a glance that she is not a person from the capital, if people want to ask for directions, why bother looking for her?" ”

Li Weiyang's smile was even gentler: "Maybe it is precisely because of this simplicity that attracts the fourth brother, he is used to seeing those reserved and hypocritical famous ladies in most of the capital, so he likes such a frank and naΓ―ve, simple and kind grassland girl." ”

Yuan Lie's eyes were sparkling, but he turned the topic back again: "We were only halfway through what we said just now, but they interrupted us, now you can tell me how to deal with Pei Bi?" ”

Li Weiyang glanced at Yuan Lie and said lightly: "Everyone in this world has their own weaknesses, Pei Bi's weaknesses, I think you have already seen it very clearly." ”

Yuan Lie was slightly stunned, and a happy smile flashed in his eyes: "I understand." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, but neither of them said the words.

At this time, Princess Ali was already shouting not far away: "Jia'er, come and see, there are very beautiful jewelry here!" ”

Li Weiyang walked over quickly, and Princess Ali handed her the hairpin in her hand like a treasure, Li Weiyang glanced at it but it was a very ordinary object, and he didn't expect Princess Ali to love it so much. She tilted her head slightly and saw Yuan Lie in the lamplight, he was wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe, standing there, looking at herself with a smile. Li Weiyang smiled slightly, looked down at the hairpin in his hand, and whispered to Princess Ali: "It is indeed very beautiful." ”

In the queen's palace, the prince hurriedly broke in, like a gust of wind, and the palace maids didn't even have time to stop it. Empress Pei glanced at him and said coldly, "You are in such a hurry, what happened?" ”

The prince looked at Empress Pei and stopped talking, Empress Pei immediately understood, so he waved his hand to let the female official take the palace maids out, and then looked directly at the other party and said, "What's the matter?" Go ahead. ”

The crown prince looked at the queen and said loudly: "Queen Mother, you should know all about what happened today." ”

Empress Pei sighed and said, "If you are talking about a qiΔ“ that happened during the Heaven Worship Ceremony, yes, I already know it." ”

The prince took another step forward, and said anxiously on his face: "Queen Mother, if Pei Bi also has an accident, the entire Pei family will ...... in the future."

Before he finished his words, Empress Pei had already raised her head, looked at him seriously and asked, "What about the Pei clan?" ”

The prince's mind turned sharply, and he continued: "Pei Bi is now the last nephew of the queen mother, if even he has an accident, who should be in charge of the overall situation of the Pei family?" ”

Empress Pei smiled coldly and said, "What if Pei Bi has something?" Could it be that he is the only one in the Pei family? Where did you put your uncle Pei Yuan when you said this? ”

The prince interrupted her and said: "Uncle is far away at the border, far away water can't quench the thirst of the near, in the capital, Pei Bi is the last barrier, is it possible for the queen mother to watch this barrier fall?" If you refuse to save Pei Bi, then in the future, others will only think that the queen mother and the prince are weak and can be bullied, and they will be bullied one by one, and how will the queen mother deal with herself at that time? ”

Empress Pei smiled coldly, and said calmly: "If a person is calculated by others, he should find the reason from himself, if he doesn't believe in Wang Zijin's girl, why did he fall to this point?" ”

The prince frowned and said, "The queen mother means that Pei Bi was calculated by Wang Zijin?" ”

A cluster of sharp light flashed in Queen Pei's eyes: "It may not be Wang Zijin!" When choosing a concubine for you, Wang Zijin was also an important candidate, but later the Wang family didn't know how to promote, so he politely refused. I inquired about this prince, and found out that although she was young at the time, she was very talented and a very proud person. Such a person is not the best candidate to be the crown princess, so I didn't insist later, if not, do you think a small Wang family can resist me? ”

When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but jump in his heart and said, "What do you mean, Queen Mother?" ”

Empress Pei's voice was even colder, and there was a sharp color in those beautiful eyes: "Your father is a person who likes to be smart, I have been fighting with him for so many years, and I know him well, but he thinks that Yuan Lie is his best heir, and deliberately puts him in the position of King Xu to blur the public and divert our focus." He didn't want to think about what kind of person I, Pei Huaizhen, was! In my opinion, the fiancΓ©e he chose for Yuan Lie is smart and smart, and her family background is not bad, but it's a pity that she has been learning with that great master for so many years, she is too high-minded and dust-free, and she has not experienced any setbacks, no matter how smart she is, she is limited! Maybe on the battlefield, you can be like a fish in water and win, but in the harem and court, those five elements gossip and yin and yang arithmetic are even more useless! She can calculate when it will rain tomorrow, calculate which day the southeast wind will blow, can she still calculate people's hearts? People's hearts are treacherous and changeable, and she can't figure it out anyway, so she can't compare to Guo Jia in the harem! In fact, the emperor may not be aware of this, but he selectively ignored it, the biggest reason is that Guo Jia and Empress Pei have similarities, which makes him involuntarily disgusted.

The crown prince frowned and said, "The queen mother means that the father has the intention to pass the throne to King Xu Yuanlie?" ”

Empress Pei's smile was still very gentle, but the light in those eyes was very sharp: "Are you only seeing it now?" ”

The prince gritted his teeth and said: "I always knew that my father didn't like me, and I also knew that Yuan Lie's identity was special, but I never thought that my father would want to support such a lowly person to become the emperor!" ”

Empress Pei smiled faintly and said calmly: "Just because he was born to Princess Qixia, the emperor will want to support him to ascend to the throne!" As she said this, her eyes suddenly became cold.

The crown prince couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it in his eyes, for so many years, no matter what happened or encountered any emergency, Empress Pei had never shown such a gritted tooth look, which made him feel a trace of panic involuntarily: "Queen Mother, you said that if the father insists on letting Yuan Lie marry Wang Zijin, then what should we do?" ”

Empress Pei said coldly: "Didn't you understand what I just said?" ”

The prince's face showed a hesitant look, and Queen Pei sighed, this son is smart and smart, but unfortunately he is too calm, and it is impossible to sit on this throne without his own support. She said in a flat tone: "Wang Zijin is not worried! You might as well think about what you should do if Yuan Lie really forms a rope with the Guo family? ”

The crown prince frowned and said: "But my father has already planned to marry that prince to Yuan Lie, maybe he will get rid of the Guo family for us, so we don't have to do it." ”

Empress Pei's expression became even more cold and said, "You are really stupid to say that you are stupid!" The Emperor said so, but what did he do? It's just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight! He just wants to pick out the most powerful one among the Guo family and the Wang family to match his son, this old fox, I know him too well! ”

Hearing the queen say this, the prince's face showed a look of shock: "So the father is tempting? ”

Empress Pei's smile was even worse, like a blooming manzhu shahua, enchanting and beautiful, but with endless coldness, which made people feel like falling into the abyss at a glance: "Silly boy, your father's meaning is already very clear, if he really wants to execute Guo Jia, then it will be done in the imperial study." ”

The crown prince was even more incredulous: "But he may be afraid of King Xu." ”

Empress Pei shook her head: "He's just giving Guo Jia a chance to prove herself, if she can defeat Wang Zijin, maybe the good thing between her and King Xu will be close." ”

Hearing Empress Pei say this, he had already understood the emperor's thoughts clearly, and the prince's expression became iron-blue, "So Pei Bi was still tricked by Guo Jia!" ”

After going around in such a big circle, this kid still couldn't grasp the point, Queen Pei shook her head, no longer said to him, just said lightly: "Pei Bi's matter, I have my own opinions, don't worry, I will force your father to hand over Pei Bi." ”

When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Is the queen mother willing to intercede for Pei Bi?" ”

Empress Pei slowly stood up and walked to the table of golden silk nanmu, she gently picked a blooming magnolia in the vase with her hand, her slender fingers fell on the petals, and slowly pinched the flower in the palm of her hand. ”

From the very beginning, Pei Bi was the heir she chose for the Pei family, if it weren't for Pei Bi's poor health, Queen Pei would have supported him well, but unfortunately now Pei Bi has disappointed her, seeing that a smart and wise person was forced to the point where Guo Jia is getting to this point step by step, Queen Pei has no interest in saving Pei Bi's life. It's a pity that Pei Bi is the last person in the younger generation of the Pei family, if even he dies, I'm afraid that Pei Yuan will come back, and Empress Pei will not be able to explain to him, even if it is for Pei Yuan, he can't be sent to the end without a child......

Empress Pei casually threw the scattered magnolia flowers on the ground, let the petals shatter to the ground, and she smiled slightly: "Let's go, go and meet your father." ”

The emperor was reviewing the recital in the imperial study, and when he heard the news that the queen, the crown prince and several important officials of the court had come to the imperial study to ask for a meeting, he smiled coldly and said: "This queen, she is really fast. Let them in. ”

Pei Houcheng led a group of people into the emperor's imperial study, and the emperor glanced at it lightly, four of these people were first-class officials, and the rest were second-class officials, which showed that Pei Hou's power was really not small, and he didn't know when he had already won over these people, which really impressed him.

The emperor already understood Empress Pei's intentions in his heart, but he remained silent, just smiled and said, "The queen led you to see me, is it for Pei Bi's murder of the king?" ”

Since the emperor said this as soon as he opened his mouth, it would be easy for them to say it again. The crown prince took the lead and said: "Father, we are here today to meet the king for this matter, Pei Bi is a child of a family, and he has always followed the rules......"

"Prince!" The emperor interrupted, "Yesterday I had already decreed that Pei Bi should be thrown into the prison, and now he is already a sinner, and even ordinary people can't compare!" What kind of family children, if the children of the family are like him, my country will be over! ”

When everyone heard this, the emperor was so aggressive that he didn't allow anyone to plead for mercy.

The crown prince was interrupted but couldn't stop there, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "Father, this time Pei Bi did commit the crime of misconduct in front of the palace, and he should have been punished, but-"

The emperor sneered and snorted noncommittally: "What is the loss of honor in front of the palace? It is clearly the crime of killing the king! ”

The prince had some cold sweat on his face, he glanced at Pei Hou, but saw that the other party was calm and relaxed, so he made up his mind and said: "Father, I can't conclude that the dagger is from Pei Bi, where does this crime of killing the king come from?" ”

Pei Hou glanced sideways, and the people behind him immediately understood. Hua Taifu stood up, he was a member of the court, a veteran of the three dynasties, and he also had a high status among the hundred officials, he said with a cold gaze: "The minister has something to say to His Majesty!" This time, Pei Bi lost his honor in front of the palace in front of everyone, which should have been a serious crime, but he was the last lone seedling of the Pei family, and I hope that His Majesty will forgive him for the sake of General Pei! ”

Immediately, several more courtiers said: "Your Majesty, please read that Pei Yuan has been guarding the frontier for many years, loyal, painstaking, and hard work without merit, and open up to his son!" "Everyone, you say a word to me, vying to intercede for Pei Bi.

The emperor sneered, he originally knew that someone would obstruct Pei Bi if he moved, but he didn't expect that even these ordinary old ministers who were not easy to open their mouths would be instigated by Empress Pei to come together. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but he couldn't bear it on his face, but his voice became more and more cold: "As the Son of Heaven, I must pay attention to the law to govern the country and educate the people. Without the Testimonies, the whole country would not be able to function! As the old saying goes, if a prince breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people! What is the same sin? If ordinary people participate in the murder of the king, then they should be punished as treason, and what about the high-ranking officials and nobles? Can they be forgiven for their past exploits, and what kind of misdemeanor in front of the palace can be used to cover up their crimes?! I didn't pursue the Pei family now, only Pei Bi was pursued, and it was already a lenient disposition. If you let Shu forgive him, what face will Shu face the Chinese military officials of the DPRK, and what face will Shu face the people of the world? ”

When everyone heard that the emperor had bitten Pei Bi to death for the crime of rebellion, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't make a sound for a while. In fact, they were instructed by Empress Pei to come here to intercede, which was a three-point risk, but relying on Pei Yuan is the general of the Zhu State to be ordered to guard the frontier, they wanted to use his prestige to make the emperor think twice and give Empress Pei a favor. But no matter how they tried, the emperor bit Pei Bi's crime of rebellion, so how dare they rashly plead again?

Pei Hou smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if Pei Bi participated in the crime of rebellion, is there any evidence?" ”

The emperor said coldly: "The queen is questioning me like this, it is a bit like she is interrogating a prisoner. ”

Empress Pei smiled slightly, and did not panic: "The concubine's speech is too abrupt, please condemn your majesty, but the meaning of the concubine is here, please make it clear." ”

Someone next to him immediately chimed in: "Your Majesty is wise!" I definitely won't believe the rumors outside, and there must be tangible evidence. ”

The emperor said angrily: "At that time, the dagger fell from Pei Bi's body, which is known to everyone. ”

Empress Pei took a step forward, her beautiful face was as cold as ice: "The so-called everyone knows, but they just saw the dagger on the ground, and who saw the dagger fall from Pei Bi's body?" Maybe it was the person who hit him who fell, or maybe someone deliberately framed him, you must know that Pei Bi had been searched before entering the main hall! ”

The emperor stared at each other: "Yes!" He was searched, but unfortunately Jiang Yu colluded with him and deliberately let him go! ”

Empress Pei disagreed: "The concubine has another opinion!" Since he was deliberately released, why did Jiang Yu call him aside, isn't it suspicious? His Majesty is wise and will definitely not believe these unsubstantiated things. ”

The emperor's gaze turned cold: "You mean Pei Bi is innocent?" ”

Empress Pei smiled: "Your Majesty, if you say that Pei Bi lost his honor in front of the palace, the concubine will believe it, but if you say that he wants to kill the king, the concubine will not believe it, but anyone who kills the king must have a grudge or want to usurp the throne." It's a pity, with Pei Bi's little ability, how dare he use such a brain? Everyone knows that since ancient times, usurping the throne must have military power, although my brother has military power in his hands, but it is in the frontier, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, Pei Bi is neither in charge of the forbidden army, nor in charge of the military department, not even the guards in the hands of Jing Zhaoyin! It can be said that not a single soldier in the whole country listened to him, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace would never pay attention to him, could it be that just a small dagger could kill His Majesty? There are no soldiers, no generals and no backup, what kind of position did he usurp! What a dynasty! ”

The emperor's face became colder and colder, Empress Pei's words were very clear, Pei Yuan was far away on the frontier, even if Pei Bi had the intention of usurping the throne, he would never have the ability to usurp the throne, as the emperor, he could prevent it, but he couldn't make something out of nothing and kill innocents.

Seeing this, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion behind the queen said, "Your Majesty, what Niangniang said is true!" According to the minister's humble opinion, before finding out whether Pei Bi is really guilty, whether Pei Bi can be temporarily released, the minister is willing to bail! ”

The emperor couldn't help sneering, Empress Pei's hand was really powerful, she knew that Pei Hui had been tortured into a trick in Jing Zhaoyin's prison, so it would be difficult to overturn the iron case, and if he was released on bail, the prison would not be able to beat Pei Bi's idea, let alone fake. Can't force Pei Bi to confess, naturally there is still room for turnover, the emperor thought about it, and his eyes became colder: "It's not appropriate!" ”

Pei Hou pressed again: "Your Majesty, there is a precedent for this practice in this dynasty, when Emperor Taizu was in power, Prime Minister Zuo was imprisoned for being involved in a case of rebellion, and many officials from the six ministries of the court were jointly released on bail, and Emperor Taizu allowed him to be released on bail pending trial." Now Pei Bi's feelings are the same as those of Prime Minister Zuo at the beginning, since Emperor Taizu can do it, you can also do it today! ”

Yuexi is accustomed to abiding by the ancestral system, the ancestral system is the law, and what the ancestors have done, the emperors of later generations can be regarded as the legal basis and have to follow it. When the emperor heard this, he saw Empress Pei's methods more and more clearly, but he couldn't do it for a while! At this moment, the four first-class officials took the lead in kneeling on the ground, "If the emperor gives permission, Pei Bi can be released on bail pending trial, and the ministers are willing to vouch for him, and take good care of Pei Bi!" If there is a mistake, the ministers are willing to cut off their official positions and hand over the responsibility of the criminal department! ”

The emperor looked at them, and before he could speak, the others also knelt down, and the entire imperial study was full of people kneeling on the ground, and everyone knocked their heads together: "The ministers are willing to protect Pei Bi!" ”

Empress Pei's move was actually a disturbance in the palace, threatening the emperor to promise to release Pei Bi on bail pending trial. And once released on bail, there will naturally be no confession in the prison, and the original efforts will be in vain, but if the emperor does not agree, this trouble in the imperial study will undoubtedly spread all over the world. Not to mention that among the people present, two of them were the emperor's teachers, and three were relatives of the emperor, since they knelt down, of course they refused to stand up lightly before the result, otherwise it would be equivalent to kneeling in vain. The emperor's insistence on refusing is to go against the Holy Ancestor Emperor, this trick can not be described as vicious!

The emperor saw them kneeling there kowtowing and pounding, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and wanted to drag all these people out to kill, but Empress Pei brought just some clear streams, if he killed them, I am afraid that tomorrow the emperor's atrocities will spread all over the world. He can kill criminals, it doesn't matter how violent he is, but he can't kill these nasty ghosts! The emperor sighed silently, probably Pei Bi's life is expensive, and he really can't die, he thought about it and said, "Xuan Pei Bi enters the palace." ”

Empress Pei smiled coldly, she knew that the emperor would compromise, because every candidate here was carefully considered by her, and she would never go on a business trip!

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly walked in quickly, gave a fold, and then stepped aside and stood with his hands down. The emperor opened the fold, held it in both hands and hurriedly skimmed it from beginning to end, let out a few irrepressible laughs in his throat, and then said loudly: "Everyone, you don't have to kneel, that Pei Bi has already escaped from prison, but fortunately, the prison is heavily guarded, and he has been robbed again!" ”

If he is not guilty, why should he escape from prison, this kind of behavior just shows that he has the intention of assassinating me, and he also wants to escape responsibility! What do you say about being released on bail pending trial, can this kind of person be released?! ”

When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed, no one thought that Pei Bi would stay in prison well, and he actually thought of escaping from prison, was he crazy?

Empress Pei's face also sank, and then she stared at the emperor, wondering if the other party had done something, but the emperor's face was just with a calm smile, but she couldn't see anything unusual in any case.

The emperor said loudly: "Since Pei Bi is already an unforgivable crime, I will give him waterboarding, and this matter is over!" As for you...... Hmph, if you have to intercede for a person who has committed a heinous crime, I will not pursue it, if you want to kneel, continue to kneel! With that, the Emperor had already walked out.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but bow their heads, no one dared to speak anymore, if Pei Bi hadn't escaped from prison, then they could still intercede for him, but once he escaped from prison, it just proved his guilt.

Empress Pei watched the emperor go out, subconsciously stepped forward and took a look at the fold, and then threw it on the ground, everyone took a look, only to see that the queen's sharp armor had left a deep scratch on the fold, which showed that she was already extremely angry in her heart.

In the small flower hall of the Guo family, it is a peaceful scene. Yuan Lie happened to lose a black chess, and said in a leisurely manner: "I heard that the queen brought a group of old ministers and broke into the imperial study to protect Pei Bi, and now when I hear this news, I am afraid I will go crazy." ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "If Pei Bi hadn't escaped from prison, then he would have really been free this time, but it's a pity that he was too anxious." ”

Director Guo watched them play chess and ate snacks at the same time, and subconsciously asked, "I really want to know what tricks the two of you played, why did Pei Bi make such a move?" Isn't that like his character? ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly, and said: "Everyone in this world has weaknesses, where is the weakness of Prince Pei?" ”

Director Guo thought about it carefully and was a little confused: "This Pei Bi doesn't seem to have any weaknesses, if you want to say that the only thing he cares about is ......" Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said: "It's his precious brother Pei Hui, but Pei Hui is dead, what can you do with him?" ”

Li Weiyang sneered and said, "Yes, everyone is already dead, so naturally we can only dig up graves and whip corpses." ”

Hearing this, Director Guo was stunned for a moment, and he said as if he was frightened: "You-won't you, right?" ”

Digging up graves and whipping corpses and desecrating the dead is a very vicious act, and it will be punished by heaven in the future, and ordinary people will never dare to do it.

Yuan Lie smiled, and his smile became more and more mocking: "You listen to her nonsense, where are we so boring, people are dead and people's ashes are dug up, this is just a news to Pei Bi to know, he loves that brother so much, he will definitely not see him end up like this!" As expected, he thought he was smart, and he bought the jailer with a lot of money, and wanted to sneak out to take a look, originally he only wanted to buy it for an hour without alarming anyone, but unexpectedly, ......"

Before he finished his words, he heard Li Weiyang continue: "But unexpectedly, the jailer betrayed him, not only did not cover it up for him, but reported it to Jing Zhaoyin, and Jing Zhaoyin reported it truthfully to the emperor, and it happened to be when those people pleaded. ”

Hearing this, Director Guo couldn't help but sigh with his palms: "Jia'er, your methods are getting more and more powerful!" It's just easy to say, Pei Bi is not a fool, how did you make him believe it? ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said quietly: "Mountain people have their own tricks. ”

Director Guo's expression became more and more suspicious, Pei Bi was an extremely smart person, how could he believe such news lightly? Yuan Yeol shouted: "Don't eat my chess!" But it was already a step too late, he turned his head resentfully, and continued to explain: "Pei Bi is suspicious by nature, if we say that the other party naturally doesn't believe it, so I have to ask his cellmate for help." ”

In fact, Li Weiyang asked her to pass the news to Jiang Yu in prison and asked him to spread the news, Pei Bi knew that he was naturally anxious, and he would go out to see the real situation and try his best to stop Li Weiyang, who would of course be caught.

Yuan Lie secretly hid a chess piece and said with a smile: "Do you know that he was sentenced to waterboarding? ”

Li Weiyang grabbed his sleeve, dragged the chess pieces out, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What is waterboarding?" ”

Yuan Lie was not angry when he was caught, and said: "This is just a very interesting punishment, the torturer will press the prisoner on his back on a bench and tie it with a rope, but it is not tightly tied and can move, and then they will press a copper bucket on his chest. ”

Li Weiyang frowned and said, "Is there such a strange punishment?" ”

Director Guo smiled: "For an adult, this bucket of water is not very heavy, but when the punishment begins, it is a different scene." There will be a jailer who will gently pat on the water like a child slapping water, and from the first time he slaps it, the prisoner will feel the pressure on his chest increase several times, and really, all the flesh and skin will penetrate into the man's chest, compress his heart, and gradually make his internal organs lose their normal function, so that he can't breathe, and finally the person's face will turn purple and black, until he dies. It was easy to say, but the prisoner was suffocated to death in a conscious state, and the pain was extreme. ”

When Li Weiyang heard this punishment, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Your Majesty's punishment is really the pinnacle, unheard of, and it is very cruel and interesting!" ”

Yuan Lie shook his head and said: "That old man is always like this, coming up with some strange ways to die, I think he is clearly angry with Queen Pei." It's just that Wang Zijin also played a disgraceful role this time, aren't you going to clean her up? Let her know that there are people who shouldn't be moved? ”

When Li Weiyang heard this, he smiled lightly and said, "Miss Wang is already very annoyed now, why should I provoke her again." ”

Director Guo disagreed: "But some people won't learn a lesson because of this, I'm afraid that if you let her go, she will kick her nose in the face." ”

Li Weiyang looked at him with a smile and said, "Listening to the meaning of the fifth brother, it seems that I don't like Miss Wang very much." ”

Director Guo concealed three points of impatience in his eyes: "It's not a question of liking or disliking, it's just that this person is too proud, and he always has to frustrate her sharpness in order not to make her so arrogant, thinking that the whole world has to revolve around her!" ”

Li Weiyang gently got down and cut off Yuan Lie's retreat, before slowly falling: "Some people in this world are born with brocade clothes and jade food, and the stars hold the moon, if you add both civil and military skills and talent, it will be even more indispensable." If you don't suffer any setbacks, you will indeed get into trouble. But Miss Wang is a smart person, and I think she will one day figure out that cooperating with Empress Pei is not a safe thing...... Moreover, after this incident, she and the Pei family have been completely broken, so you don't have to worry too much about her. ”

Director Guo nodded, sighed leisurely and said, "I hope so." ”

Queen Pei returned to the queen's palace angrily, the prince hurriedly followed her into the palace, but saw her smash a vase to the ground, the prince saw this scene and quickly knelt down, he had never seen the queen mother lose such a big temper, and said in a trembling voice: "Queen mother, don't be angry, take care of your body." ”

Queen Pei was so angry that she trembled, this was the first time she miscalculated, she thought that she would be able to save Pei Bi, but she didn't expect this kid to be so stupid that he actually thought of escaping from prison! Jailbreak? It's a prison, he's crazy!

The prince's voice became more and more panicked: "Queen Mother, this time it was a complete mistake, I don't know who spread the news of Pei Hui's tomb theft to Pei Bi's ears, he fell into the other party's trap for a while!" It's also to blame them for being too cunning, and they can come up with such a ruthless trick! ”

Empress Pei smiled coldly and said, "It's okay if such a fool is dead, don't worry about him!" ”

When the prince heard Queen Pei say it so categorically, he immediately understood that the other party was not ready to save Pei Bi again...... It's also the other party to be damned! Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Yes, I respect the will of the Queen Mother!" ”

At this moment, the palace maid outside the door came to report: "Niangniang, Lord Win is back." ”

Empress Pei's eyes lit up, her expression suddenly relaxed, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Please let him in." ”

After a while, a black-robed man walked into the hall quickly, he smiled, and gently saluted Queen Pei: "Niangniang, Weichen is back." ”

Empress Pei glanced at him, with a rare smile on her face: "It's been half a year since you've been there, right?" ”

Master Na Ying smiled slightly: "Yes, Niangniang, this time Weichen came back to help Niangniang." ”

Queen Pei's beautiful eyes froze, and her beautiful face looked bright, which made people dare not look at her for a while: "Do you know that I am in trouble?" ”

Lord Win smiled: "Weichen naturally knows what Niangniang means, Niangniang can rest assured, your trouble will be solved soon!" ”

The prince looked at this person coldly, but he had the feeling of swallowing a fly. Ying Chu is meticulous, not leaking, ruthless, and full of tricks, but he has such a face...... Therefore, the prince was extremely contemptuous of his character, and on the other hand, he was especially disgusted with him circling around the queen mother. For so many years, he has wanted to expel this person, but he can't catch him in the slightest, not to mention that the queen mother has never been indispensable to him, and he is especially favored above himself-

Ying Chu is only one servant by the queen's side, but he has killed countless people, the sound shocks the government and the opposition, and the excerpts to impeach him are enough to fill the imperial study, which can be said to be notorious, if it weren't for the queen mother who has been protecting him, I'm afraid he would have been cut by a thousand knives. Last year, because of the cool trial of the case of Marquis Jueyuan, he avoided the government and took the lead. Now he appeared like a black ghost in the splendid court again, so eye-catching, full of disobedience, but also with a strange and bewitching atmosphere......
