Since the emperor's night visit, Huang Gongfu has been waiting for that opportunity, but he has not heard from him at all, which makes him feel a little bottomless in his heart, what the emperor said is this, is it that he is wrong?

Huang Gongfu was a little apprehensive in his heart, tossing and turning at night, suddenly, his mind moved, isn't the emperor waiting for an opportunity? Huang Gongfu put on his clothes, sat down next to the desk, wrote something with a pen, and asked someone to send him out of the house overnight.

On the second day, the court was still calm, and there was nothing important inside and outside the court, and the civil and military officials hurriedly participated in the morning court with sleepy eyes.

Huan Sheng returned to the study, and someone came to report: "Young Master Huang and Young Master Yan ask to see him!" ”

"Let them in." Huan Sheng rubbed his forehead, he knew that it would be good for these two people to come in private.

The two stepped into the study, and just as they were about to salute, Huan Sheng stopped: "Excuse me, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

Yan Yifan glanced at Huang Gongfu and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book, the Taiwei Uncle Yang is murdered for money, the minister has ironclad evidence, and I hope the emperor will see it." ”

Huan Sheng frowned slightly, and he didn't believe what he said in his heart, Uncle Yang's image has always been a person who enforces the law like a mountain, meticulous, as cold and tough as a mountain rock, if he tortures and kills some lawless people without reporting it to the court, it seems somewhat far-fetched. But now Yan Yifan said that there is ironclad evidence, which inevitably arouses Huan Sheng's curiosity.

"Oh, tell me about it." Huan Sheng raised his head and looked at Yan Yifan.

"Your Majesty, when Uncle Yang went out to patrol Mianzhou, he passed through Ze County, Hezhou, and because of the lack of entanglement, he forced Pu Xianyu to go to the Liu family, a wealthy merchant in Ze County, to forcibly win 100 gold, but the Liu family did not give it, causing the old patriarch of the Liu family to die. Everyone in Zejun knows about this matter, and I hope that the emperor will see everything and calm the anger of the people. Yan Yifan looked jealous and hateful.

"Where's the ironclad evidence you said?"

"There is one person from the Liu family in Ze County, and two people from Ze County have come and are waiting outside the door."

"Let them in."

Three people walked in outside the door, one was dressed in sackcloth, with a hemp rope tied around his waist, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and cried, crying and saying: "Your Majesty, please be the master, my family is not at fault, and I have been poisoned in vain!" ”

The other two seemed a little timid, just kneeling quietly on the ground, their heads bowed, and they couldn't see the expressions on their faces.

"Tell me, tell me the reason for the incident."

"It was three months ago, that night, suddenly someone knocked on the door, because my father was getting older, sleepy, the knock first woke him up, so he went to open the door, only to see a man with a sword at his waist standing outside the door, the night was dark, and my father did not see the man's face clearly, the man pushed open the door without saying anything, and said: 'I am Pu Xianyu, the guard of the Taiwei Mansion, the Taiwei Lord has come here, there is no entanglement, your family is huge, and you will fund us with a hundred gold.' Naturally, my father disagreed, and the silver taels of my family were not blown by the wind.

I didn't think that the man pushed my father hard, and then took some valuable things from my father's arms, and walked away. By the time I heard the movement and hurried out to check, my father was no longer dead. My father told me to wait. I also hope that the emperor will see and redress his father's grievances! ”

The man began to cry again. Huan Sheng was a little irritated when he heard this, and said, "Tell me about the two of you, what's going on?" ”

"Yes, the villain learned that the Liu family had an accident on the second day, but because my family was next to the official road leading to Mianzhou, there was indeed a carriage passing by that night, although I didn't see it very really, but I also saw a rough idea, the carriage was only pulled by a horse, and the driver was a sturdy man, the man had a beard, a tight robe, and a long sword in his hand.

On the second day, I waited until I learned that Uncle Liu had passed away, and Uncle Liu was a righteous man who always helped the township, so he had a very good reputation in the township. When the villain saw him the day before, he was still in good spirits and didn't think about it...... That's all the villain knows. ”

Huan Sheng already has a rough idea in his heart, Yan Yifan's word "forcible order" is worth studying, it seems that he also knows that he doesn't want to squeeze out all the strong ministers who change the law, this is only for Uncle Yang, if this matter is true, it must be handled well, if there is a slight mistake, the people's anger will intensify, and it will be difficult for the government to end at that time.

"Yan Aiqing, you immediately take my soldiers to mobilize the forbidden army to the Taiwei Mansion, remember, you are only allowed to surround the mansion, you are not allowed to go in and disturb, and you are not allowed to let anyone in the Taiwei Mansion leave. If anyone asks, they will say that there are thieves running around and protect Lord Taiwei. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Yifan took the talisman and quickly went out.

Huan Sheng turned his head and asked, "Then why did you wait for March to come here?" And why don't you go to the county government to report to the official? ”

"The villain and the others were going to go to the county government to report to the official, but when they heard that it was Lord Taiwei, how could they dare to go. We all know that Taiwei Yang has great authority, and if he knows that I am going to report to the official, I am afraid that my family will be gone. Later, when I heard that the emperor had ascended the throne, and the villain was really indignant, I thought that I was afraid that only the emperor had a way, so I came to the imperial city. When I met Lord Huang, I was brought here. ”

Although his remarks are full of loopholes, they are reasonable and evidence-based, and there is no way to refute them.

"Well, I already know. Wait and go down, and I'll look into the matter and do you justice. But you must also know that if what you say is not true, it is the sin of deceit, and the sin of deceitful deserving of the king should be punished. ”

"Yes, what the villain said is true, and the emperor can see it."

Huan Sheng waved his hand and motioned for them to go down, leaving only Huang Gongfu.

"Aiqing, do you think this matter is serious?" Huan Sheng looked at Huang Gongfu who was speechless and asked.

Huang Gongfu saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the minister sees that this matter is untrue. ”

"Oh," Huang Gongfu's answer made Huan Sheng a little unbelievable, it stands to reason that he should most hope that Uncle Yang will step down quickly, "Then what does Aiqing think is untrue?" ”

"Your Majesty, although the minister brought them to the audience, the minister did not believe that Lord Taiwei would do such a rebellious thing, and besides, he was still a minister of legislation, if he did not abide by the new law, then I am afraid that no one in this world would abide by it."

Huan Sheng nodded, and was just about to let Huang Gongfu go down, but Huang Gongfu said again: "It's just the emperor, Uncle Yang has a lot of power, are you really at ease?" He is always with the emperor, will the emperor not leave behind? And I'm afraid that only Uncle Yang knows about all this. Besides, although the eldest prince has a poor image, he is not stupid, and you also know where the edict came from. ”

Huang Gongfu stopped, Huan Sheng's heart tightened when he heard it, his father had never set up a prince from beginning to end, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no other arrangements, which made Huan Sheng feel extremely panicked.

"What does Aiqing think I should do?" Huan Sheng's voice trembled a little.

"The emperor naturally knows what to do, and the minister retired first."

Huang Gongfu went out for a long time, and Huan Sheng came to his senses and asked people to call Pu Xianyu. Pu Xianyu is still dressed in a tight robe, and her unsmiling expression looks more majestic with Shanzi's beard.

"I recently heard that there is another war in Mobei, and I want to send a cadre to greet the border soldiers on my behalf. After thinking about it, I felt that you were the only one who could handle this great task, and since you were born in the army and could adapt to the bitter cold, I would send you there. Let's get off early. ”

"The minister takes the order." Pu Xianyu led a team of guards and hurriedly traveled north to Shunzhou.

Huan Sheng called He Bixian again: "I am not very worried about the matter of Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou is remote, and the implementation of the new law may not be smooth, I feel uneasy when I think of this matter, you can go and take a look." ”

He Bi first went to Jiaozhou. Since then, the two who have followed Uncle Yang to implement the law change have left the court. Huan Sheng felt a little more settled in his heart.

Let's talk about Uncle Yang's house. Uncle Yang returned to the mansion early and was walking in the backyard with Zihua, when someone suddenly said: "My lord, Lord Yan has surrounded the mansion with the emperor's military talisman!" ”

After hearing this, Zihua said angrily: "What is the emperor doing here!" ”

Uncle Yang was also stunned, and then said softly: "It's okay, don't worry, the emperor has his own calculations." ”

Zihua saw that Uncle Yang had no intention of going to the emperor for theory, and he was not angry, and wanted to go to the palace to find the emperor, but was stopped by Uncle Yang: "Zihua, the emperor has the world in mind, and he won't do anything to me." Rest easy. ”

The winter solstice season is coming quickly, and these days Uncle Yang's mansion is panicking, although Yan Yifan is ordered by the emperor to surround the mansion in the name of investigating thieves and protecting Lord Taiwei, but after a long time, it will eventually cause people's hearts to fluctuate.

The winter solstice is the time when the curfew is lifted, and the imperial city market is becoming more and more lively this night, and everyone prepares winter things, and the food, clothing, etc. for the winter are to be prepared early during this time.

Uncle Yang and Zihua sat on the threshold of the mansion gate, quietly watching, the lively market had spread to the door of Uncle Yang's mansion.

Uncle Yang suddenly called the soldier standing by the gate of the mansion: "Can you help me buy some candy people over there?" ”

The armor soldier was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly responded, took the silver taels from Uncle Yang's hand, and went over to the vendor to buy two candy people.

Uncle Yang handed it to Zihua and said, "Look, this sugar man is really good-looking, there are all kinds of shapes, and the craftsman who pinched this sugar man is really skillful." ”

Zihua smiled lightly, her face showed two beautiful dimples, she had never seen Uncle Yang like this, she had known him for nearly four years, only this once.

"Yes, husband, will we all taste this sugar man on the winter solstice in the future?" Zihua leaned on Uncle Yang's shoulder.

"Okay. Do you know that in my hometown of Yunzhou, I eat candy people every winter solstice, which is said to keep me warm in winter, this is what my mother said. I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"Just try it."

Zihuajiao smiled. Uncle Yang was a little stupid, he had never found that Zihua was so beautiful when he smiled, so beautiful that he couldn't be rich.

Uncle Yang sighed, looked at the armor standing aside, and said, "Zihua, I'll find a way to send you away." ”

"What the husband said, life should be the same Qiu, death should be the same hole, no complaints and no regrets, Zihua will always follow the husband, the husband has something, Zihua will never live!" Zihua looked firm.

"Why bother, our children ......" Uncle Yang was a little helpless.

"The family is not neat."
