"Please forgive the emperor, the courtiers and the son of General Huben were rescued by him as early as three years ago, and they were in love, and they had already made a marriage contract, and their grandfather strongly opposed it at that time, and it was the courtiers who forced each other to die, so they had no choice but to agree. and set the date of the marriage until three years later. After the emperor ascended the throne, my grandfather changed his mind and ordered me to worship Shangguan as my father, changed my name to Shangguan Yu, and after entering the palace election, he threatened that if the courtiers did not respond, they would send General Huben to prison and behead all over the house, because my grandfather grabbed the handle of her husband's family, and the courtiers had to obey. Zheng Rong burst into tears and couldn't cry.

"Is that really the case?" Jun Mowen asked with some surprise.

Zheng Rong kowtowed again and again, "What the courtiers said is true, and there is no half-truth." ”

Jun Mo asked and pondered, "Zheng Rong, for the sake of your husband's family, you did not hesitate to betray your grandfather, and did not respect your elders, and you should have been punished." Seeing that you are sincere, I can give you a holy decree and forgive you from your crimes. But I'll test your affection, as long as you can pass these two tests. I decreed a marriage. Do you dare? ”

"Why don't you dare, the courtiers try their best. I also hope that the emperor will make a promise. Zheng Rong looked resolute.

"Okay, as long as you can get through. I will immediately decree that you will be married. Jun Mowen smiled slightly.

"Emperor Xie is complete." Zheng Rong wiped away her tears. Lift your slender feet and slowly step onto a rope below. He reached out and grabbed a rope on both sides, and a breeze blew, and the whole person swayed on it. Zheng Rong was also frightened on it, she slowly stabilized her figure, carefully moved her steps and slowly moved forward. When the two pillars of incense were about to burn out, they finally walked to the opposite side.

Courage is commendable, Jun Mo nodded and pointed to the tip of the knife that had been tied and asked: "You have to think clearly, this is a real knife, not a fake, dancing on the tip of the knife is not a joke, if you are not careful, you will poke out the soles of your feet." When the time comes, you will not die or be crippled. ”

"The courtiers are willing to give it a try." Zheng Rong still didn't flinch.

"Okay, then I'll open the net, I don't require you to dance on it, as long as you can pass quickly, you can pass the level."

"Thank you for your kindness." Zheng Rong hesitated in front of Dao Mountain, and finally insisted on stepping on Dao Mountain. I only felt that the sharp tip of the knife almost pierced the heavy sole. She remembered that Sun Wenjie had told herself that the more dangerous it was, the more she had to pass quickly, and she gritted her teeth and exerted all her strength

, Regardless of the pain in the soles of his feet, he ran over sixteen sharp knives quickly, collapsed to the ground, looked at his bloody feet, and his face was pale with pain.

Jun Mo asked with a wave of his sleeves, yes, she is a woman who is stronger than Jin, and the person who is favored by such a woman is by no means an ordinary person. So he said in a deep voice: "Quickly go and summon General Huben and his son into the palace to see him." ”

Zheng Rong had already been helped down by the imperial doctor to bandage, and General Huben received the holy decree and hurriedly took his son into the palace. was taken to the Qinzheng Hall by Qian Yi, and the father and son hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowed and worshipped, and shouted long live.

Jun Mowen smiled faintly, "General Sun, I heard that you falsely reported the death of the soldiers five years ago and were greedy for the consolation money of the dead soldiers, but is there such a thing?" ”

"The emperor forgave the sins, but the minister falsely reported the death list, but he was greedy in the end, but distributed the extra consolation money to the families of those who died. Sun Yong was sweating profusely and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Then why are you doing this?" Jun Mo asked puzzled.

Sun Yong hesitated for a moment and said: "The imperial court ordered that if an ordinary soldier dies, he can get fifteen taels of silver, but after layers of carving, it will be less than five taels when it is sent to the family. Your Majesty, how can a mere five taels of silver support a wife, children, and a family, if a soldier does not marry a wife and have children, it is still better, and if there are wives and children in the family, how can the five taels of silver support the family. He once saw with his own eyes that the wives and children of the deceased brothers had to sell their sons and daughters because they could not live. The minister felt distressed when he saw it! The brothers sacrificed their lives for the country, but the court could not support their wives and children, and the ministers couldn't bear to watch their families die, so they could only use some hands and feet on the list of dead people to find a little more way to survive for their wives and children. The emperor wants to kill or chop, and the minister is willing to bear it with all his might, so please ask the emperor to see the minister's past exploits and let go of the minister's wife and children. Sun Yong touched his head to the ground and burst into tears.

"What you have done is a lie." Jun Mo asked Huo Ran to get up, shocked.

"Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said, every sentence is true, and there is no half of a lie, please let the emperor know."

"Okay, I will send someone to investigate immediately, and if this is true, I will never be soft on officials who are greedy for the pension of the fallen soldiers. The imperial court is not allowed to touch the pension of a copper, and it must be distributed to the family members in a lot of money, and there are still people who have the audacity to stretch their black hands to the head of the pension. ”

Jun Mo asked and changed his words, "You violated the decree, although there is a reason for the incident, but it must not go unpunished, I will detain you first, and then make a ruling when the truth is clarified." You have any objections. ”

"The minister is willing to accept the guilt, and has no objections, only begging the emperor to spare the family." Sun Yong stood up and took off his official uniform by himself.

Jun Mowen ordered people to be locked up in the prison and ordered in a deep voice, good wine and good food, no execution, no one was allowed to visit the prison, more people must be sent to strictly protect them, and no accidents should occur.

After listening to the emperor's orders, Sun Yong's father and son couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, the emperor was obviously punishing the crime, but he was actually trying to protect him secretly. The father and son kowtowed again and again to thank him.

Jun Mo asked Sun Wenjie for a moment, and asked, "Is it that you and Zheng Rong got engaged three years ago?" ”

Sun Wenjie didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked about his marriage, he bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, but there is such a thing, the wedding will be held on the fifth day of the next month." ”

"Oh! Then you and Zheng Rong are happy and in love. ”

"Exactly, Rong'er and I met three years ago, when she was on her way home with her mother to incense, she was attacked by a group of robbers, it was the villain who drove away the robbers, saved their mother and daughter, and then met in a poetry meeting, and they fell in love, and they were happy with each other, and they made a marriage contract."

"Then do you know that Zheng Rong participated in the selection of concubines?"

"What? Rong'er participated in the selection of concubines, this is impossible? How could Rong'er abandon our affection for the sake of glory and wealth, I don't believe it. Sun Wenjie looked incredulous.

Jun Mowen waved his hand and ordered the eunuch to bring Zheng Rong up, Sun Wenjie couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Zheng Rong who was faltering, and took a step forward to hold her up and asked, "Rong'er, what's wrong with your feet, why are you here?" ”

Zheng Rong smiled palely, "It's okay, my foot is slightly injured, we can finally be together." ”

"We're getting married next month, and we could have been together, by the way, why are you in the palace and your foot is injured, why?"

"Why, it was her grandfather who threatened the lives of your whole family and forced her to enter the palace to choose a concubine, it was her tenacity and courage that asked me for a holy decree of marriage, and also fought for a better future for the two of you. If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for! In the future, you are not allowed to be unfaithful to her, and you are not allowed to accept any more concubines, are you willing? ”

After hearing this, Sun Wenjie kowtowed again and again, "The minister swears to the sky that he will never live up to her in this life and this life, if he violates this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”

"Okay, then I think that my sister will make her the county lord, and she will recuperate in the palace, and the marriage date will remain the same, and she will marry from the palace at that time."

"Thank Emperor Longen!" The two of them were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly knelt down to thank them.

Jun Mowen ordered the two to be taken down, and watched the two of them finally become lovers. I was relieved. Thinking that the matter between himself and Zhong Lichun had not yet come to fruition, he felt depressed in his heart. After handling state affairs, he drew a portrait with a pen, looked at her vividly, sighed, and said to himself: "Shuang'er, when will we be together every day and no longer separate." With a stroke of my pen, I can fulfill someone else's marriage, but who can fulfill my marriage? "I don't feel melancholy.

Zheng Dafu was shocked when he learned of the situation, and on the second day, he issued a decree to ask for guilt and asked to resign from the post of Taifu. Jun Mowen sneered in his heart, what a shrewd old minister, with a big stroke of the pen, he allowed his performance. After Mrs. Zheng returned home, she closed the door and thanked the guests and stayed at home.

A few days later, Zou Ping presented the results of the investigation in front of Jun Mowen, who saw a series of officials from the household department and the military department, and then saw that the main envoy was actually his third brother, and Mrs. Zheng also obeyed the orders of the third brother and participated in it. Jun Mo asked and sneered, "Old thing, it's cheap for you." So he ordered the officials of all ministries to be strictly investigated. With a wave of the pen, many officials fell to the ground. The frightened other officials trembled and didn't dare to go up again to ask the concubine to be sealed.

Jun Mowen released Sun Yong from prison and demoted him to a civilian, but promoted his son Sun Wenjie to five levels in a row and made him the commander-in-chief of the capital guards. Transferred Shi Cheng to his side as the chief captain of the palace guards.

Sun Mansion was full of people for a while, everyone knew that the emperor valued Sun Wenjie and entrusted him with important tasks, and Zheng Rong married from the palace with the gift of the county lord on the wedding day. The two husbands and wives thanked the emperor for his kindness. A year later, she gave birth to a pair of sons, named Tian'en, Tiande. Signaling the descendants to remember the emperor's kindness, this is a later word.

After this purge of officials, Jun Mowen took control of all the important departments of the court in his own hands, and he ordered Qu Ziru to be in charge of the money and grain of the household department, and Zou Ping to be in charge of the military department. The situation in the DPRK is becoming more and more stable.

Jun Mowen suddenly received a report from Shi Cheng, saying that there was news from the Heaven and Earth Pavilion that Mei Xiaotian's traces had been found in Yingguo. Jun Mo asked and decided to solve this problem in person, he arranged the government properly, rushed to the Qi country with Shi Cheng as soon as possible, and asked the Mo family for help, so as to annihilate Mei Xiaotian in one fell swoop.

Mo Yuanguang urgently summoned the five elders of the Mo family to help. Go to the old capital of Yingguo with Jun Mowen. Jun Mowen quietly infiltrated the former capital of Yingguo, and ordered Shi Cheng to inquire about the situation and find out that Mei Xiaotian's location was the abandoned Yingwang Palace.

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, more than a dozen figures quietly touched into a palace that had been abandoned for many years, and saw a room with dim lights, Jun Mowen gestured, and ordered Shi Cheng to take the others to wait outside, and he and the five elders of the Mo family quietly leaned into the bright light, flew up to the room, and lifted the tiles to look down. saw Wei Qu bowing his head and writing.

"Wei Qu, what are you doing, are you helping to abuse Mei Xiaotian and writing the Nine Ghost Heart Method?" Jun Mo asked a dodge and floated into the room.
