Pei Yuan took the jade seal in his hand and instructed the guards around him: "Invite the Queen Mother back to Jiuluan Palace, and all the others will be escorted to the apse and dealt with later." ”

When Pei Shu and his party were taken away, Pei Yuan raised the jade seal in his hand and said to the hundred officials: "If any of you are disobedient to this king, you can say it early, maybe this king will read on your sincere side and let you return to your hometown, if you don't want to do anything behind your back, then don't blame this king for not remembering the old feelings." ”

Pei Hao took the lead and said: "The imperial brother is the emperor set by the previous emperor, and this throne should be inherited by you, so we naturally have no dissatisfaction." ”

"The ministers are terrified, and the ministers swear to be loyal to King Xian!" The hundred officials knelt down one after another and shouted loudly.

Pei Yuan waved them down, and said to Pei Hao, who was left alone: "This decision was made suddenly, I didn't tell you earlier, I'm sorry." ”

Pei Hao waved his hand indifferently: "Okay, I still don't know you, the moment Shen Xiang had an accident, I thought that you would take a step, the danger is a little dangerous, but fortunately, the result is not bad." ”

Referring to Shen Xiang, Pei Yuan said to him: "Let's go to Dali Temple to pick up my father-in-law, I'm afraid he has already prepared to die for the whole Shen family." ”

Lord Li of Dali Temple was waiting at the door of the prison tremblingly, his eyelids had been beating on the first day Shen Guan came in, and his heart said that something would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect trouble to come so quickly, this ...... Why is this Xianwang going to be the emperor?

With the strength of King Xian's favorite wife, he locked up his father-in-law, and in the future, he was not killed by King Xian in the court, just when Lord Li was thinking about whether to resign and go home, Pei Yuan and Pei Hao had already arrived.

"Lord Li is fast news, we haven't reported it yet, so you're waiting here." Pei Hao looked at Master Li and smiled.

Master Li wiped the sweat on his forehead: "As soon as the lower official came back, he hurriedly sent someone in to invite Shen Xiang out, originally the lower official should have gone to pick up Shen Xiang in person, but he was worried that the two princes would not find anyone when they came, so they waited here to answer." ”

Pei Yuan knew what Lord Li was afraid of, but on the way, he had already heard that Shen Xiang was not embarrassed in prison, so he didn't want to embarrass Lord Li, so he only smiled and said: "Shen Xiang was unjustly imprisoned, and it all depends on Lord Li to take care of the whole process. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lord Li felt a lot more relieved, knowing that this was what King Xian would not blame himself, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This is all as it should be, we all felt that Shen Xiang was wronged at the beginning, but it's a pity that we are soft-spoken, and we can only help in these things, and please don't blame King Xian." ”

Shen Xiang walked out of the prison, because the officers and soldiers who released him from prison only said that it was the order of Lord Siqing, and he didn't know anything about the outside affairs.

When he saw Pei Yuan and Pei Hao standing outside, he also knew in his heart that he was afraid that Pei Hao was moving inside, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "King Xian has returned, how did you tell the emperor about this matter, old man, but you must not be affected by you, if it is ......"

Pei Yuan interrupted him with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't worry, let Pei Hao explain this matter to you slowly on the road, and the son-in-law will go back to the palace to talk to Jiahe first, so as not to worry about her at home." ”

Shen Xiang looked at his dusty clothes, and knew that he hadn't gone home yet, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, you go first, you go first." ”

Lord Li stood aside and smacked his tongue, this king's attitude towards Shen Xiang was too respectful, there was no prince at all, and there was no one who was about to become the emperor, I was really glad that I didn't embarrass Shen Xiang at the beginning, otherwise I don't know how I would have died today.

Pei Hao accompanied Shen Xiang to the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking at the street where martial law was still on, Shen Xiang said strangely: "Is there a big case in the capital?" ”

Pei Hao coughed before he spoke: "Lord Shen, what this king will tell you later, you must be mentally prepared, don't be too excited." ”

Shen Xianghu looked at Pei Hao suspiciously, Pei Hao cleared his throat again before saying, "Brother Pei Yuan, he wants to be the emperor!" ”

Shen Xiang didn't react for a while: "What did you say?" What the emperor. ”

After looking at Pei Hao's serious eyes, Shen Xiang almost fell off the horse, Pei Hao stretched out his hand to help him, and then sat up straight again: "Pei Yuan...... Is he really going to be the emperor? ”

Pei Hao nodded heavily, and explained in detail what happened before and after: "Anyway, now that the dust has settled, you just need to go back and have a good rest, and wait to be your ruler." ”

Shen Xiang's heart was in a mess, he didn't think it was a good thing for Pei Yuan to become the emperor, he had been an official in the court for many years, and he understood the royal things better than anyone else, as for the national abbot, he was not so easy to be, and an unstable person would be imprisoned like today.

There is also Jiahe, where is her temperament suitable for living in the harem, but if Pei Yuan doesn't take this step, their Shen family may become the emperor's sword soul sooner or later.

Things have developed to this point, and it is useless to think about it, Pei Hao sent people to the door and was about to say goodbye and go back: "There are still many things waiting for this king to deal with in the palace, Lord Shen should pay attention to resting more." ”

Shen Xiang thanked Pei Hao and turned around and went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Jiajue and Shen Jiachen had already received the news that they would rush out to pick it up, seeing Pei Hao leaving in a hurry, Shen Jiachen asked, "Didn't you say that King Xian was also back?" Why didn't they come with us? ”

Shen Xiang sighed: "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

The Shen family was extremely happy that his father could come back safely, and the Shen Jiajue brothers were also relieved, but for what Shen Xiang said later, the two of them did not have Shen Xiang's concerns.

"The emperor is already unscrupulous, and it is still a good thing for the Pei family to change it, and now that my father has come back safely, why should I think about it more." Shen Jiajue comforted.

Shen Jiachen pondered for a moment and said: "Father is worried about the future, if you are really afraid that it will bring trouble to King Xian or the Shen family, when King Xian really ascends the throne, it will be a big deal for all of our family to resign, the eldest brother is right, you are thinking too far at the moment." ”

After Pei Yuan went back to Xian Wangfu, he couldn't help laughing when he saw that the entire palace was like an iron wall, and when Gonggong Fu heard the knock on the door, he only asked people to open a crack in the door to check, and only after confirming that it was the prince did he let people open the door of the mansion and welcome the prince in.

"The princess is already waiting inside, Lord Wang, hurry up and go in!" Father-in-law Fu wiped his tears and said, although the princess didn't say much, but just looking at the situation in the house, he also guessed that the prince must be doing something unusual outside, and he was naturally very excited to see him come back safely at this time.

Seeing Shen Jiahe sitting in the main hall with a stern look, Pei Yuan's eyes were a little moist, he stepped forward quickly and hugged the person tightly in his arms: "I am finally relieved to see that you are fine." ”

Pei Yuan came back at this time, which meant that the matter had been successful, Shen Jiahe looked at him with a tired face, and his heart was also distressed: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”

Shen Jiahe accompanied Pei Yuan to the ear room to wash up, and then took the time to ask him, "What are you going to do with the rest of the matter?" ”

Pei Yuan knew what she was asking, and thought for a moment before saying, "I haven't figured out how to deal with them yet, but the Queen Mother naturally can't move, and I promised him that innocent people won't be involved." ”

"You mean Pei Shu and his brothers?" Shen Jiahe asked.

Pei Yuan nodded: "I didn't plan to involve the juniors in this matter, after all, it was all about the previous generation, and Pei Shu and they really didn't know anything." ”

Shen Jiahe also nodded: "Do what you think, now that the dragons in the palace are leaderless, I'm afraid you have to rush back." ”

Pei Yuan took her hand and rubbed it in his hand, feeling that his previous turbulent heart had finally stabilized: "I did take the time to rush back, I went to Dali Temple before, and asked Pei Hao to send my father-in-law home, if you don't feel at ease, I will send someone to see it again." ”

"There's nothing to worry about if you don't do anything." Shen Jiahe gave him a cup of tea, "Take a sip of tea to moisten your throat and go back, I'll wait for you at home." ”

Pei Yuan sat in the carriage, and this time the palace people at the door naturally didn't dare to stop the car, so Liuyu turned his head sideways and asked him, "Lord Wang, where are we going now?" ”

Pei Yuan pondered for a moment and replied: "Go to the back hall, this king is going to meet my good imperial brother." ”

The emperor had already been relieved of the acupoint, but now that the overall situation had been decided, he no longer struggled, and when he saw Pei Yuan coming in, he only lifted his eyelids: "You are here, are you going to deal with us?" ”

Pei Yuan sat down opposite him, looked at the empress and those princes standing behind him, and then put his eyes on the emperor again: "What do you want me to do with you?" As an emperor, if you make such a mistake, you should know what kind of punishment you will get. ”

The emperor's lips trembled a little, and there was finally something else in his eyes: "You promised not to hurt innocent people." ”

Pei Yuan smiled: "I promised that I wouldn't return, don't you think about yourself at this time?" ”

The emperor shook his head: "I am deeply sinful, and I don't ask for forgiveness anymore, I just want to ask you for Pei Shu's sake, for the sake of Pei Shu that he doesn't know anything, bypass him, and don't pursue his faults in this life." ”

"He is not at fault, I naturally will not embarrass him, you can rest assured that I will definitely not embarrass these juniors." This is a promise, not only let Pei Shu go, but also let go of other children.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and sincerely thanked Pei Yuan: "I want to ask you one more thing before I die, can you leave a whole corpse for me and the queen, I know that we can't enter the imperial tomb after we die, but I still want to have a chance to go and sue the emperor after death." ”

"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, please let go of your father and mother, I am willing to die for them, please let them go." Pei Shu knelt in front of Pei Yuan with a puff.

"Please let the emperor uncle release his father and mother!" The other princes all pleaded.

"Who said I'm going to kill them?" Pei Yuan looked at them with a smile, got up in their puzzled eyes and said, "This king has no intention of killing you, but it is not suitable for you to stay here in this capital, I will repair the palace that was once abandoned by you, and you will reflexively make mistakes in it in the second half of your life." ”

This is considered a lifetime of house arrest, but it can be regarded as mercy compared to death, Pei Yuan ignored their thanks, and walked straight out of the apse, Yuan Xu hurried over and said: "Lord, Concubine Rong and all the concubines in the harem knelt in front of the palace, begging the prince to give a clear sign." ”

If all those women rushed to the palace, I was afraid that they would not be able to live at all, Pei Yuan personally went out to send them away, and looked at the people who knelt down: "This king spared their lives, only let them reflect themselves in the palace for the rest of their lives, if you want to follow, follow to the palace, you can't go back to the capital for half a step in this life, and if you don't want to follow, you can go home by yourself!" ”

Represented by Concubine Rong, they thanked one after another: "The concubine is grateful to the prince for his great kindness." ”

To be locked up in the palace for a lifetime is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the queen's niece Zhenzhen, but she doesn't want to go home just like this, seeing that her sweetheart is about to ascend the throne as the emperor, how can she be willing to be trapped in that small palace at this time.

After thinking about it, she could only beg the queen mother: "Zhenzhen really doesn't want to follow her aunt to the palace, it's not that Zhenzhen can't endure hardship, it's just that Zhenzhen's identity lives in it, it's really unreasonable, and I ask the Queen Mother to save Zhenzhen." ”
