It turned out that Yang Yan returned to the camp with blood stains last night, and after knowing the situation, Geng Gong was in a state of confusion, so he ordered Yang Yan to go back to rest. Unexpectedly, when he got out of the tiger camp, he was arrested by Dou Xian and imprisoned on death row. Of course Geng Gong didn't know.

Geng Gong said with tears: "Your Majesty, Yang Yan followed his ministers to the Western Regions, leveled Wusun, descended the division, guarded Shule, was unswerving, and never complained. After returning to Luoyang, he guarded the palace, and he had a lot of merits, loyalty, and heaven and earth! I implore the emperor to open up and spare him from dying......"

At this time, Dou Gu flashed out and said: "Your Majesty, the key to governing the country is to have clear merit, reward if you have merit, and punish if you have faulty, how can you redeem it with merit?" Otherwise, all the meritorious men will be domineering, who will abide by the law of the country? ”

Emperor Zhang nodded: "Geng Gong, don't talk about Yang Yan anymore." What else? Come on. ”

Geng Gong put down the sadness in his heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, when the Queen Mother was alive, she often praised Concubine Song for her virtue, so she ordered her to wait for you. Over the years, Concubine Song has treated the emperor sincerely, without any mistakes, and has never heard her interfere in court politics, how could she curse the emperor? Someone must have framed Concubine Song, please let the emperor know! ”

Emperor Zhang's heart moved, but his face was expressionless.

At this time, one person flashed out of the hundred officials, but it was Fengchang Xu Yun. Xu Yun was originally a long history in the mansion of the Great Sima and the Great General, he was quite resourceful, and Dou Gu was able to lift it with all his might. After Wu Ban died of illness, the position of Fengchang was vacant, and Dou Gu promoted him to Fengchang and ranked Jiuqing. Xu Yun said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that when the emperor was sick, Concubine Song was overjoyed and whispered to others, and my son will soon be the Son of Heaven!" Concubine Song lived in Shuhua Palace day and night, did not go out, and there were royal guards next to her, except for herself, who could bury the wooden man in the dormitory? Besides, in the harem, she has repeatedly asked for raw dodder from the Taiyi Bureau! Chen Gang took a closer look at the clothes of the wooden people, this cloth is the kind that the Huanyi Bureau supplies to Shuhua Palace, the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to check! ”

These words are reasonable, not leaking, Emperor Zhang heard it, and his anger was even stronger, and he said: "I hate witch Gu!" Spread my will, wait for Liu Zhang, go to Shuhua Palace, take Song Wan, send Zongzheng Mansion for interrogation, and take the prince's seal, and abolish the prince as the king of Qinghe! ”

The civil and military officials were shocked. Geng Gong kowtowed and bled and begged: "Has the emperor forgotten the matter of Emperor Wu's prince?" Since ancient times, witches have been false, the emperor is sage, why not notice? Concubine Song, the crown prince, and the queen mother like it very much, why didn't the emperor investigate it carefully, and then issued an edict? In doing so, the ministers are afraid that the queen mother is in the spirit of the sky, and there is also resentment! ”

Emperor Zhang Longyan was furious, Huo Di stood up, brushed his sleeves and left.

Geng Gong was still kneeling on the ground, and Dou Gu said coldly: "Captain Geng, get up, the emperor is gone." After speaking, he danced with his long sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and swaggered out of the hall, Ma Fang followed him from a distance, and a sneer appeared on his face.

The hall was quiet, Geng Gong was still kneeling, his heart was like a knife. He thought of Empress Dowager Ma's entrustment, and felt guilty! Concubine Song is so kind, how can she practice "witch Gu"? But the emperor, why would he believe it? Who is behind everything?

"Brother, let's go......" I don't know how long later, a voice sounded, he raised his head, and saw his brother Geng Bing standing beside him, his eyes full of sadness. Next to Geng Bing are Bao Yu, Zheng Zhong, Han Ling and others.

Geng Gong stood up and said indignantly: "Brother, this is obviously a trick, someone wants to frame Concubine Song, why doesn't my brother fight for reason?" ”

Geng Bing shook his head and said, "Brother, since ancient times, the emperor has hated witches and Gu deeply!" With the wisdom of Emperor Wu, it is still impossible to argue, let alone the emperor's anger, how can he be willing to listen? After a pause, Geng Bing sighed, and then said: "I'm afraid of Luoyang, it's another catastrophe!" ”

Bao Yu said: "That's right, Wu Gu is jealous of the emperor, no wonder the emperor is furious!" The conspiracy has been completed, and the net will be closed, we don't have to worry, and watch the situation change, and when the time is ripe, we will fight again! He looked at Geng Gong lovingly, and said softly: "Geng Gong, you are careful in everything, Dou Gu and Liu Zhang have always hated you to the bone." ”

Liu Mansion, Liu Zhang was lying on the collapse, overnight, he seemed to be really old, his face was bloodless, he was haggard, and the pain in his shoulder hit from time to time, and he couldn't help but hum and moan. He suddenly rolled his eyes, looked at the young woman who helped him fan the wind, and asked, "Where are the four brothers Liu Kun?" You go and see, have they come back? ”

The woman put down the fan, went out for a spin, and came in again, saying, "Old, master, the four young masters haven't come back." ”

Liu Zhang was furious, the wound suddenly hurt, he couldn't help moaning, and scolded: "Rabbit cub, it's been one night, if you don't come back, Lao Tzu is going to die, they are still dashing outside, hum, catch them, you have to kill them!" Scolding like this, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, Liu Zhang knew that it must be his son who came back, so he held his breath and gathered strength, and when they came in, he scolded again. After a while, the figure at the door flashed, and Liu Zhang scolded wow: "Rabbit cub, dare to go home?" All day long, if you don't learn and don't know how to do it, you know that if you fool around outside, you don't even care about Lao Tzu's life or death......"

Unexpectedly, the face of the person who came changed greatly, and interrupted: "General Liu, please respect yourself!" ”

Liu Zhang was startled, looked fixedly, but saw that the person who came was not his son, but a Chinese envoy dressed as a Chinese envoy, and hurriedly stopped his mouth, very embarrassed, and said: "It turned out to be a Chinese envoy, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

The lieutenant envoy snorted and said, "Liu Zhang, take the order." ”

Liu Zhang was startled and struggled to get up, but his right arm was broken, his center of gravity was deviated, and he fell on the collapse, and he couldn't get up for a while, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Come and help me quickly!" The woman next to her hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Liu Zhang up. Liu Zhang knelt on the ground and said, "Minister Liu Zhang takes the order." ”

The envoy was expressionless, spread out the holy decree, and read: "Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said, go down to wait for Liu Zhang to go to Shuhua Palace immediately, seize the seal of Song Wan's concubine, and send it to the Zongren Mansion for trial." Chin this. The envoy stuffed the holy decree into Liu Zhang's arms, and then left.

Liu Zhang held the holy decree in one hand, looked at it three times, couldn't help but be overjoyed, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Song Wan, Song Wan, you caused me to cut off an arm, and now I will take you a seal, and I will repay it!" Hmph, you must look good! He slowly stood up, and his spirits were high, and a tuft of white hair was shining, and he shouted, "Someone! More than a dozen soldiers immediately poured in.

"Follow me to Shuhua Palace!" Looking at the fiery sun, Liu Zhang shouted loudly, and the wound seemed to be no longer painful.

"General, slow!" A person suddenly broke in outside the door, sweating profusely, rushed over and attached himself to Liu Zhang's ear, and whispered a few words. Liu Zhang was taken aback and said, "This, how can this be done?" When the emperor found out, wouldn't he cut off my head? ”

The man sneered and said, "Why should the general care about others, the general lost an arm, let me ask Song Wan to feel a little guilty?" ”

Liu Zhang was furious when he heard this, and said viciously: "Don't blame me for being ruthless!" Walk! He didn't care who came, he took more than a dozen soldiers and rushed into the fire-like world.
