In the backyard of the Luoyang Palace, there is a house made of granite stones, this house has no windows, but there are several air holes more than two meters above the ground, and the closed door is wrapped in a layer of gray-black iron plates, and rows of large iron rivets are arranged on the iron plates.

I don't know what important things are stored in this stone house, but there are more than a dozen soldiers guarding the door.

The king of Luoyang walked in from the outside with four guards and came to the door of the stone house.

All the soldiers hurriedly saluted the king of Luoyang and shouted: See the prince.

The king of Luoyang waved his hand to them and ordered: open the door.

A soldier hurriedly took the key from his waist and stepped forward to open the large iron lock that was locked on the door, and then reached out to open the heavy door.

The king of Luoyang turned his head and ordered the four guards who followed him: You are waiting for me outside.

The four guards replied in unison: Yes, Lord Wang.

The king of Luoyang walked into the stone house alone.

In one corner of the room there is a large wooden bed with two sets of bedding on the bed, and in the middle of the floor is a square table with two wooden chairs next to the table, one of which sits Bao Zheng, who has been missing for several days, and the young man walking back and forth on the ground is Gongsun Ce, who disappeared with Bao Zheng.

The king of Luoyang walked in, came to another chair and sat down.

Gongsun Ce stopped his walking steps abruptly, then turned around and looked at the King of Luoyang with extremely angry eyes.

The king of Luoyang smiled at Bao Zheng and asked: Lord Bao, is it okay to stay here?

Bao Zheng said coldly: Thanks to the blessing of the prince, Bao Zheng is doing well.

Luoyang Wang Dao: It's easy for Master Bao to get out of this room.

With that, he stretched out his hand and took out the covenant signed by dozens of officials from his arms, put it on the table, and said: As long as Master Bao signs his name on it, you can immediately walk out of this dark room and be free to return to your own mansion.

Bao Zheng asked coldly: What is this?

Luoyang Wangdao: This king's army alliance.

Bao Zheng smiled coldly and said: Do you want Bao to join your rebellion, dream about you, Bao would rather sacrifice his life with his head and blood than do such an unfaithful, unrighteous and rebellious thing.

Luoyang Wang Dao: Bao Zheng, you are called Yuzhong, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie.

After that, he paused, and then said: This king has absolute certainty of seizing the throne this time, when this king faces south and calls the emperor the emperor, all the people who follow the king to raise troops are heroes, what is the disloyalty and injustice, the great rebellion, don't you understand what it means, the winner is the prince and the loser Kou.

Bao Zheng said: Lord, don't be obsessed, you will never succeed, what you are facing is not an isolated court, but a country with hundreds of millions of people, maybe you may be able to seize Kyoto and sit on the puppet emperor for so many days, but once the military and political officials in various places, the army is pressing, it is the day of your destruction, the prince, listen to Bao Zhengyi's advice, stop the precipice and stop raising troops, and immediately disband your army, go to the court to ask for guilt, and the emperor will pardon you in the identity of your imperial uncle.

Hearing this, the king of Luoyang was furious, and suddenly stood up from his seat and said sharply: Bao Zheng, it is you who should rein in the precipice, today this king will make it clear to you, you only have two choices, one, sign my covenant, submit to me, and in the future, this king will be called the emperor, and you will be the prime minister of Pingzhang Zuo; Second, if you are still obsessed, when this king rises in the twelfth day, he will sacrifice my banner with your blood, and think about it yourself.

With that, he turned around and walked out, and the door closed with a bang.

Gongsun Ce hurriedly walked over and sat on the chair nervously: My lord, the king of Luoyang is really going to rebel, what should I do?

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce and said: What to do.

Gongsun Ce said: Oh, I didn't explain it, I mean, the king of Luoyang is going to rebel, and I don't know if the court knows about it, if you don't know it, it's bad.

Bao Zheng thought for a while and said: Don't worry, the imperial court should already know, I remember that Li Zhixian hinted to me that the king of Luoyang was going to rebel when he went to the capital, and the leader of the Huang gang of the beggar gang also told the government about it, can they not report the rebellion of the king of Luoyang to the imperial court.

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce nodded: What Lord Bao said is that I am a little worried, and they should report this matter to the emperor.

Several horsemen galloped to the gate of the Shifu and stopped, and a eunuch in his thirties and four palace guards jumped off their horses.

The two gates of the Shifu are closed, and there is no one outside the door, losing the lively scene of people coming and going in the past. However, Master Shi is still alive, but he was removed from his official position before.

The eunuch walked to the door with the holy decree in his hand, raised one hand, and slapped it heavily on the door a few times.

After a while, I heard the sound of a man's hurried footsteps coming from the door, and then I heard a man's words from inside: Come, come, who?

The eunuch said loudly: "If you come from the palace, open the door quickly."

The door opened from the inside, and a man of about twenty years old stepped out.

The eunuch raised the holy decree in his hand and shouted: The holy decree has arrived, go and invite you adults to come and receive the decree.

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then understood what was going on, turned around and ran inside, shouting loudly as he ran: Master, the holy decree has arrived! Master, the Divine Decree has arrived!

The eunuch walked to the courtyard with four guards, and Shi Haibo came with his wife and a few subordinates.

The eunuch stopped, then unfolded the scroll of the holy decree with both hands and shouted loudly: Master Shi takes the decree.

Shi Haibo pulled his wife to kneel, and all his subordinates also knelt down with the two.

The eunuch read:

Fengtian transported, the emperor said:

After investigation, the case of Shi Haibo's treason and defection to Liao was really framed by a traitor, and it was false, so I issued a decree to rehabilitate him, and at the same time transferred Shi Haibo to be the acting secretary of the Criminal Department, and went to work on the same day.

Chin this.

Shi Haibo shouted: Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live!

Whew, he got up from the ground.

The eunuch handed the holy decree in his hand to Shi Haibo's hand and smiled: Congratulations to Master Shi on his promotion to the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Shi Haibo hurriedly said: Thank you, thank you.

After that, he paused, and asked the eunuch: Father-in-law Liu, where did Xu Shangshu go?

Gonggong Liu pouted: He has been dismissed by the emperor and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and his case has been handed over to Lord Shi for trial, and Lord Shi will be able to see him after taking office.

Hearing this, Shi Haibo said secretly: It's really feng shui in turn, yesterday I was still his prisoner, but today he has become my prisoner, this is probably the retribution that ordinary people say.

Seeing that Shi Haibo was stunned, Mrs. Shi hurriedly stretched out her hand and dragged him, Shi Haibo woke up and said busily: Gonggong Liu, all the guards, how about you go to the living room and have a cup of tea?

Gonggong Liu smiled: No, our family has other things to do, so I said goodbye.

With that, he turned around and walked out.

Shi Haibo hurriedly said: Father-in-law Liu, please stay.

Gonggong Liu stood up and turned around and asked: Is there anything else to do with Master Shi?

Shi Haibo stretched out his hand and took out a silver ticket from his arms, stuffed it into Gonggong Liu's hand and said: Thank you Gonggong Liu for coming to deliver the good news, this is a hundred taels of silver tickets, please take a few guards out to find a restaurant to have a glass of wine.

Gonggong Liu was not polite to Shi Haibo, and smiled: That's it

Thank you.

Then, he waved his hand to the four guards and shouted: "Brothers, Master Shi has a reward, and we will drink later."

With that, he walked out with four large internal guards.

After seeing that Gonggong Liu and the four guards were gone, Mrs. Shi reached out and grabbed one of Shi Haibo's arms excitedly: Master, you have come to the bitter end.

Shi Haibo looked at Mrs. Shi and nodded and said with a smile: Yes, the bitterness is coming.

After speaking, he paused, and said with a smile: This is all the credit of our son-in-law.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: Yes, yes, it is the credit of our son-in-law, alas, I didn't expect Master Li to become the son-in-law of our family, how do I feel like I'm dreaming.

Then he complained: Yao'er, the dead girl, is too bold, she has the final say, she will marry someone if she marries, and she doesn't tell her family, and she lost all the words of her parents' matchmaker, what are you talking about, I don't know how people laugh at us, I'm angry.

Shi Haibo smiled and said: Madam, do you really think that our Yao'er married Master Li, tell you, there is no such thing, this is just a ploy used by Lord Li to save Yao'er, but he didn't expect to put himself and Yao'er in it after the whole Wang Qin.

The current situation is that Yao'er won't marry him, and he won't marry Yao'er, he and Yao'er have a hard time riding a tiger, but fortunately, the two are compatible, and we don't have anything to worry about Yao'er marrying him, but I don't know if Yao'er likes Lord Li.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi thought for a while, and then smiled: Yao'er should like Lord Li, in the days when she went home, she always talked about Lord Li, and when the master sent her away this morning, she didn't object at all, but looked very happy, just -------

Shi Haibo hurriedly asked: Madam, what?

Mrs. Shi said: Lord Li has a wife, his wife's name is Zhang Yunfang, she is the daughter of the former head of the household department Lord Zhang, she is very beautiful, Yao'er can only be Lord Li's second wife when she marries.

Shi Haibo said: It is normal for a husband to marry three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Lord Li is not an ordinary husband, Lord Li is the queen mother's very favored son, and the queen mother transferred all the jade plates of the prison country given to him by the emperor to Lord Li, which proves that Lord Li will be crowned king sooner or later, madam, is it strange for a prince to marry several princesses.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi was pleasantly surprised: Master, are you saying that it is possible for our Yao'er to become a princess?

Shi Haibo nodded and said: It should be-------

Before he finished speaking, he saw a subordinate hurriedly running in from outside and saluting him: "Master, wife, our uncle is here."

Shi Haibo hurriedly asked: Did you come back with your young lady?

Servant: No, it's just my aunt alone.

Mrs. Shi was strange: Why didn't you come back with Yao'er, did something happen?

Shi Haibo hurriedly instructed the subordinates: Take your uncle to the living room.

The servant replied: Yes, sir.

Turned around and walked out.

Shi Haibo turned his head and told Mrs. Shi: Madam, when I talk to Master Li later, don't interject.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi was stunned: Don't let me speak, why?

Shi Haibodao: It's not that you won't be allowed to speak, it's not that you won't be allowed to talk nonsense.

After that, he paused, and then used a guessing tone: If my guess is correct, Master Li is here to explain the misunderstanding.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi didn't understand: misunderstanding, what misunderstanding?

Shi Haibo said: Explain the misunderstanding between him and our Yao'er, to put it bluntly, it is to clarify to us that he has nothing to do with Yao'er, he is innocent, and his marriage with Yao'er is not established and does not count.
