When Queen Fu Jinhuan saw Wang Muen, who had been knocked out and full of teeth, she was about to go crazy.

"Come on, call the prince to the palace immediately, and the palace will come to see how arrogant the prince can be."

Another eunuch went to pass the word, and soon, he was driven back with a mouth full of teeth.

Fu Jinhuan still doesn't know what Guo Zongxun asked these eunuchs to bring back.

"If you send someone again, the palace won't believe it, does the prince really want to be so unfilial?"

Another eunuch went to pass the word, this time a little longer, and when he came back, the eunuch's mouth was still there.

However, he was already beaten to death and carried back.

"Queen Mother, it's not good, Deputy Commander Cao of the Guards led troops to surround Yanfu Palace on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince."

This time, Fu Jinhuan was completely blindfolded, and said that as soon as the emperor left, she would immediately control the young prince?

said that as long as the prince is obedient, I Fu Jinhuan will be kind to him, otherwise, this palace will have to come up with some means to discipline the prince.

What's the situation, the first two just knocked out a mouth full of teeth, and this time they were directly killed before they were sent back.

How could things have been so unexpected?

"Go and call Cao Bin in to the main palace."

The eunuch who went out to spread the word came back this time with all beards and tails.

"Empress Qiyu, Commander Cao said that without the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, he would never dare to step into Yanfu Palace."

"Bastard, do they still have the queen of this palace in their eyes?"

Wang Muen, the great eunuch of Yanfu Palace, was the first to run to pretend to be 13 in front of the prince, and he has reacted now, but unfortunately, he understands it in his heart but can't say it.

Soldier power, mother, we have all forgotten the power of war.

The emperor handed over the military power to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince completely without control, and whoever collided with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be unlucky.

The two prime ministers have been driven away from the palace, and the people in the palace don't know yet.

When they find out, they will wake up, but I'm afraid it's too late.

The eunuchs of Yanfu Palace have already abolished two and died one.

Judging from the current situation, the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince have become inseparable.

Just when Fu Jinhuan was in a hurry, someone outside Yanfu Palace came to deliver a message, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived.

"Give the prince to the palace...... Invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the main palace. ”

Fu Jinhuan was still hesitating whether to continue to hold the shelf, and when he was about to give in, Guo Zongxun had already broken in with dozens of soldiers of the Fierce Army.

These shithorn soldiers were personally selected by Cao Bin and Han Tong, and they were added to continue to be the prince's personal soldiers.

"You guys, what are you going to do? Prince, why are you so troubled, this palace is still your queen mother......"

Guo Zongxun bowed to Fu Jinhuan, but ignored her words.

"Left and right, protect the queen mother, arrest all the people in Yanfu Palace, and wait for the fate."

Even Fu Jinhuan's personal maids and grandmothers were escorted down, but there was only one Fu Jinhuan left.

"The queen mother, the child heard that the queen mother summoned him, and his heart was happy, because he had just sent his father and the emperor away from outside the city, and when he came back, he was covered with dust, so the child asked the prince to come back to tell the queen mother, and the child came to visit after bathing.

Wang Muen was dumbfounded, he knew that not only would he not be able to be the great eunuch of the Great Zhou court today, but he was afraid that he would even lose his old life.

"This ...... The princess told the queen mother that the queen mother missed the prince and wanted to see the prince soon, so she asked the prince to urge the prince. ”

Fortunately, Fu Jinhuan didn't push it all away, and Wang Muen saved his life.

"Oh, that's the case, the child still thinks that the queen mother wants to deter the child, when this prince passed the word to Lone, didn't he say that the queen mother misses the child, Princess, has Lone wronged you?"

Wang Muen knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, couldn't speak, and was anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, for fear that the prince would be happy and order someone to drag him down and beat him to death.

"Since Lone didn't wronged you, then Lone let people knock out your mouth as a punishment, but is there something wrong, is Lone's sentence too much?"

Wang Muen continued to kowtow, shaking his head while kowtowing, and the blood on his mouth had not had time to wipe it off, and it was thrown everywhere.

"The prince is right, these damn minions are the people around the queen mother, and they dare to be unreasonable to the prince, it's really damned."

Fu Jinhuan now just wants to send a female authority and order people to drag Wang Muen down and beat him to death, because the people around her are all held by the people brought by the prince.

"Queen mother, my father has just set out on the expedition, and these things have been made in the harem, and the little eunuch dares to be wild in front of the prince of the prison country, and he must be well controlled.

Fu Jinhuan's lips trembled, and he watched as all the eunuchs and maids in Yanfu Palace were dragged out, and a wailing and screaming sounded outside the hall.

"Queen Mother, the child is now the prince of the prison country, always keep in mind the teachings of his father, he must be diligent in political affairs, and share his worries for his father.

After speaking, Guo Zongxun bowed to Fu Jinhuan, then turned around and walked away.

Looking at Yanfu Palace again, except for Fu Jinhuan, there is no one who can stand up.

Fu Jinhuan's eyes showed a look of horror, it turned out that the prince's obedience before was all pretended, and they were all pretended to be shown to the emperor and her, the prince was really too scheming and vicious.

She didn't think about it, what about her Fu Jinhuan herself?

All the gentleness and motherly kindness before, how much true love and sincerity are put in?

Guo Zongxun took people back to the East Palace, and immediately sent someone to invite the prince's housekeeper Lu Duan.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Master Lu, the report of the Huainan drought handed over by Fan Zhen, although Lone has already concluded that this is a nonsense at all, I still have to bother you to check it, if you can find out who is spreading the rumors, it will be even better."

"Obey."

"Lord Lu, about the peace talks between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao State, I also want you to worry more, Gu has already told Lord Wei that every three days in the future, every day before noon, Gu will review the chapter in the East Palace, deal with political affairs, and the peace talks with the Northern Han and Liao will be arranged in the afternoon, but it doesn't have to be too intensive, just stabilize them."

"Obey."

Before Guo Rong set out on the expedition, the task of peace talks left for the crown prince and Lü Duan was to stabilize the envoys of the two countries and not allow them to leave Kaifeng.

In this way, at least it will cause a lag in the transmission of news, which can help the Zhou army seize the opportunity.

Lu Duan was also shocked by the prince's performance today, he couldn't imagine that the prince was so bold and ruthless at a young age.

The two prime ministers who have controlled the court for many years, one was sent to Huainan for disaster relief, and the other was simply sent to the emperor's Chinese army, which ......

I've never seen this routine.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Brother Yeluhua, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, may have heard something about it, and he has already passed the word through the palace commander who is guarding them just now, and wants to start negotiations immediately."

Guo Zongxun frowned slightly and said:

"The Liao Country Post House is the most tightly closed by us, and Brother Yeluhua's request to immediately reopen peace talks must mean something, this Liao State really can't be underestimated, how about the Northern Han Dynasty?"

"There is no movement on the Beihan side."

"Lord Lu, before my father set out on the expedition, he repeatedly told him that the matter of peace talks should be dominated by Lord Lu, so, according to Lord Lu, how should this matter be handled?"

Lu Duan was a little strange again, the prince seemed to be a different person at this moment, very calm and humble.

The emperor still wants you to fully respect the three prime ministers, you turned your head and cleaned up two, and now you remember that the emperor told you to focus on me in peace talks?

Pretending to be pondering, Lu Duan didn't dare to delay too much, and said:

"The minister thinks that we have been urging the Liao delegation before, but they have been delaying, and now they are in a hurry, if we start to delay, it will make Brother Yelu Hua suspicious, the minister suggests, summon Brother Yelu Hua tomorrow afternoon to see what this old fox wants to say and do."

Guo Zongxun understood what Lu Duan meant when he said that he would not go to the Liaoguo Post House, but would invite Brother Yeluhua.

The current Liaoguo Post House, against the wind, can stink for thirty miles, the front of the palace in charge of guarding the soldiers are all bitter, would rather go with the emperor on the expedition than suffer here.

"Okay, just do what Master Lu said, the Liaoguo Post House, improve them appropriately, it's not good to see it too dead, my father is driving in person, even Lone doesn't know where my father is going to fight, and there will be no news in Kaifeng City."

"His Royal Highness the Prince's intention, but deliberately leak some loopholes for them, so that they can have the opportunity to make some small moves, once we find clues, we can find out the secret agents arranged by the Liao State in Kaifeng City?"

"Lone has this meaning, but it is also risky to do so, first of all, we can't underestimate these Liao people, my father has just set out on the expedition, Brother Yelu Huage asked to reopen peace talks, for, Liao, we must be cautious."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, and the minister also thinks that this matter must be cautious, and before he is completely sure, he would rather see them to death than give them any chance to communicate secretly."

Wei Zhongxian's East Factory is still just in its infancy, and Guo Zongxun has not come to the court, so it is impossible to expect them to play a role now.

"That's it, Lord Lu, after inviting Brother Yeluhua out tomorrow, I will use the excuse of improving the conditions of the post house to change the place for Brother Yeluhua and separate him from the people of the Liao State Mission, but the time can't be too long, two or three days will do."

After two or three days of hard work, although the father's army could not go far, even if there were secret agents from the Liao State following them, they could not see the main direction of the Zhou army.

The Northern Han and Liao States were both north of the Zhou State, and the marching route chosen by Guo Rong was to follow the border between the Zhou State and the Northern Han State and go straight to the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and he would not divide his troops at first.

At the beginning, it would scare the Northern Han enough, and there was a movement of the Zhou army near the border line, and there was a danger of being attacked at any time.

Let's make the Northern Han nervous first, they only dare to defend passively, and they don't dare to take the initiative to attack at all.

When the Northern Han found out that the real target of the Zhou army's attack was the Liao State, their nerves, which had been tense for many days, would suddenly relax.

They have been frightened for many days, and in a short period of time, they will not dare to provoke Zhou Guo.

Because, the army of Zhou chose the main direction of attack on the side of the Northern Han in the territory of Liao, and the Northern Han dared to stab, and Guo Rong did not mind burning the flames of war to him.

As for the vanguard army led by Yue Fei, it was the same, Guo Rong gave him a will, clearly telling him to launch a surprise attack on the Liao State from the Sikou Pass, which was closest to the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and take them by surprise.

If it is discovered by the Liao State in advance and is prepared, it doesn't matter, then it will be tough and launch a strong attack.

In short, Guo Rong is determined to recover Yanyun this time.

What Guo Zongxun had to do in Kaifeng was to hold back the Northern Han and Liao missions as much as possible, so that they could not accurately determine who the Great Zhou army was going to attack.

Lu Duan took the order and left, and Guo Zongxun began to review the chapters.

Because Guo Zongxun was made the crown prince for a short time, Guo Rong led the army to the expedition within a few days, so Guo Zongxun was not given too many opportunities to learn to deal with the government with Guo Rong.

Just now, in order to fully establish his authority, Guo Zongxun used the two big roosters of Fan Zhen and Wang Pu to open the knife, just to deter the ministers and save these civil officials who are better than monkeys from jumping up and down to find trouble for themselves.

These civil officials jumped up and down, Guo Zongxun also expected it, some wanted to make trouble, and some wanted to behave in front of the prince.

It's just that Guo Zongxun doesn't have time to watch them perform for the time being.

Therefore, Guo Zongxun simply closed the stage for these monkey civil officials to perform, and the early dynasty was changed to a three-day dynasty.

"Alas...... How hard it is for my father to work every day. ”

Looking at the recitals piled up on the desk, Guo Zongxun felt that his head was big, there was no way, who made himself a prince, Guo Rong was not there, as the prince, he had to shoulder this responsibility.

"Huh...... Why hasn't this person been beheaded until now, and these officials of the Criminal Department also want to use these things about Chen Sesame and rotten grains to cause trouble for Lone? ”

Wei Zhongxian stood beside Guo Zongxun, waiting carefully, the master was about to start learning how to govern the country at a young age, but it was really ......

It's really good, I, Wei Zhongxian, can show my strength with my master.

In the hands of the emperor, there must also be an iron guard secret agent, but he has not handed it over to the prince, presumably they will be used in this expedition.

Now, the prince ordered him to start establishing the East Factory and setting up the Jinyi Guard, isn't this equivalent to the Iron Guard spy organization established by the prince himself.

After the establishment of the East Factory, a lot of dirty work and tiring work had to be done by the East Factory.

What is dirty work?

It is that it cannot be put on the stage, and can only be done secretly, such as assassination, such as pretending to be a bandit, such as beguiling the public......

What is tiring work?

This is what Guo Zongxun attaches the most importance to, from all over the world, he wants Dongchang Jinyiwei to find out all the useful information that can be found as much as possible.

What is useful information, Guo Zongxun also stipulates a lot.

At the beginning, all the news is required, and after it is summarized, it is analyzed one by one, and the important receipts are selected to continue to be spied on, and the unimportant or useless ones are dealt with separately.

These are just plans, and it is simply impossible to roll out such a large intelligence network in a short period of time.

However, Wei Zhongxian's heart was very excited, which showed that the master not only regarded him Wei Zhongxian as a confidant, but also as a confidant who could be reused.

"Wei Banban, you go to the Criminal Department, and you want to read this person's file."

"Master, slaves can't interfere in government affairs, or the slaves should go to the officials of the Criminal Department."

Guo Zongxun glanced back at Wei Zhongxian and said:

"It's good that you can abide by the rules of the palace when you do things alone, and you can abide by the rules of the palace, then you can send a message to the officials of the Criminal Department, and ask them to send this person's file immediately."

"The minions obey."

After Wei Zhongxian left, Guo Zongxun continued to review the chapters, which were specially prepared for the prince by Fan Zhen and Wang Pu before they were driven out, just to make the prince at a loss.

As long as the crown prince is at a loss, they can stand up with righteousness and awe, ask the prince for the will of the East Palace as auxiliary ministers, and entrust them with full authority to handle the affairs of the court.

It's just that Fan Zhen and Wang Pu never expected that the prince didn't give them this opportunity at all, and when they just made a move, he slapped them on the ground very simply and rudely.

The officials of the Criminal Department quickly followed Wei Zhongxian and sent the file over.

"Ma Yilin, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Ma Shilang is flat, hand over the file of the criminal Li Shaoyou."

Wei Zhongxian then took over the file from Ma Yilin's hands and handed it to Guo Zongxun.

Guo Zongxun opened the file and read it carefully, then asked:

"Ma Shilang, this Li Shaoyou was involved in the scientific examination fraud case in the autumn of last year, his father was furious, and all the people involved have been executed, why is this Li Shaoyou still alive?"

In fact, it has been written very clearly in the dossier that Guo Zongxun just wanted to ask again, and by the way, he also investigated this criminal department servant named Ma Yilin.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chen Qiyu, in last year's scientific examination fraud case, all the key criminals involved in the case have pleaded guilty and drawn into custody, but this Li Shaoyou has always refused to draw the detention, insisting that he is wronged, and has been sent to the execution ground twice to prepare for execution, all of which are at the moment of the knife, Li Shaoyou shouted that he was wronged, and the law of my Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates that when the prisoner shouts injustice when he is about to be executed, the execution must be stopped and remanded for retrial."

Guo Zongxun smiled, this Li Shaoyou would actually take advantage of such a loophole, and he dragged it until now and has not been beheaded.

"Ma Shilang, like Li Shaoyou, is there still a lot of prison in the Criminal Department?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince Qiqi, except for Li Shaoyou in the prison of the Criminal Department, there is no such prisoner anymore, generally shouting twice in a row that he has been wronged, and he is still found guilty after two retrials, and whether he shouts or not, it is impossible to stop the execution the third time."

This is about the same, otherwise everyone who has been sentenced to beheading will play like this, and the Kaifeng Mansion Prison is afraid that it will be overcrowded for a long time, and a bunch of prisoners who beheaded the prisoners are waiting to be taken to the execution ground, and then shout at the moment of the knife.

Wouldn't that be a joke?

In other words, if Guo Zongxun upholds the original verdict this time, then Li Shaoyou will be dead.

"Ma Shilang, according to you, this Li Shaoyou's confession is true, he really just submitted a name to the former official in charge of the main examination, and sent his own article after being summoned, and did not get the exam questions in advance after paying bribes?"

Before the scientific examination, it seems to be a common practice for candidates who rush to the examination to submit articles to the examiner or the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee in order to gain favor.

The civil officials and bigwigs of Da Zhou are sometimes willing to accept some candidates' names and articles.

If you really encounter a good article, the bigwigs don't mind praising it and making a name for themselves in Kaifeng.

After all, receiving the candidate's name card is equivalent to accepting the protégé, once the candidate is named on the gold list, the bigwigs will have a reputation for knowing people, and they will have more help in the court in the future.

Ma Yilin lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said:

"The minister does not dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister and this Li Shaoyou are still fellow villagers, this Li Shaoyou is known for his talent, and he was originally one of the popular candidates for the last scientific examination.

The corners of Guo Zongxun's mouth twitched, as the chief examiner, the former servant of the Ministry of Officials announced that Li Shaoyou would be successful before the exam, which was obviously inappropriate.

In addition, the case of fraud was exposed, and Li Shaoyou couldn't explain it clearly with a hundred mouths.

The former servant of the ministry has already asked about the beheading, and there is no way to verify this matter.

"Ma Shilang, have you ever read this Li Shaoyou's article?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has seen it, it is indeed good, and it is rare to see, but the minister did not say this because he is a fellow countryman of the minister."

Guo Zongxun waved his hand and said:

"Ma Shilang, as a waiter of the Criminal Department, if you dare to cheat for personal gain, then wouldn't the rule of my Great Zhou be chaotic, and I believe that you will not dare to deceive Gu because of an irrelevant fellow countryman."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes are like torches, the ministers don't dare to deceive him, the ministers really think that this Li Shaoyou doesn't have to rely on bribery to get exam questions and go to high school."

Guo Zongxun no longer asked, if his father was there, it was estimated that he would uphold the original verdict with a stroke of his pen, and if he wanted to save trouble, he could also do so.

If you are wronged, you will be wronged, who asked you Li Shaoyou to go with the crowd to vote for any famous post.

With his true talent and learning, he is not fragrant?

However, Guo Zongxun felt that since this matter had fallen into his own hands, and Li Shaoyou had already shouted that he had been wronged twice, it would be easy for him to write a batch of papers, but it was a living life.

It's just gone?

I have crossed over here, except for ordering Wei Zhongxian to kill a eunuch who dared to point at his nose and accuse him of unfilial piety for the queen today, there is no unexplained human life in this hand.

"Ma Shilang, let's do it, you go and bring this Li Shaoyou here, and you have to ask in front of the court."

"Commandment."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to personally inquire about this matter, which Ma Yilin did not expect.

Originally, he thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had called him, but it was just a routine questioning, and then the original verdict was upheld.

As for him involuntarily saying that he was Li Shaoyou's fellow countryman, he was also frightened by what the prince did today.

The two prime ministers of the court said that they would clean it up, and they were afraid that they would not be enough to see it.

Ma Yilin is based on the facts, Guo Zongxun believes this, he really does not need to exonerate a person who has been sentenced to two beheadings, even if this person is his fellow countryman.

After coming out of the Prince's East Palace, Ma Yilin immediately went to the prison of the Criminal Department.

"Come on, go and bring the criminal Li Shaoyou out......"
