The autumn wind whipped up the yellow leaves on the ground, the sky was about to dawn, and the lights in the prime minister's mansion were not extinguished all night.

"Your Majesty doesn't see me, and now it's useless to even plead with the queen, this... How good is that? Gongsun He frowned, pacing around the room, sad.

"Alas..."Wei Junru also sighed on the side, "The concubine originally thought that if the queen interceded, His Majesty would definitely deal with it lightly, who would have thought that even the queen's words would not listen." ”

Gongsun He shook his head slowly, and said: "Now Your Majesty is confused by Mrs. Gouyi, and the queen's situation is also different from the past, it seems that if you want to save Jingsheng, you should find another way!" ”

"Master, what other way is there?" The tears on Wei Junru's face did not dry, and Xu said: "The world is noble, the court should be the prime minister, and the harem is the queen, even the two of you are helpless, let alone others!" ”

Gongsun He groaned slightly, and said: "There is another method, I have been thinking about it for a long time in the past few days, it should be feasible, but I don't know if I can capture this person..."

"How? Who are you going to capture? Hearing this, Wei Junru raised his crying red eyes and stared at Gongsun He, and asked one after another.

Gongsun He sat down beside Wei Junru and said, "You should know about the assassins in Jianzhang Palace some time ago. ”

"Is there anyone else in Chang'an City who doesn't know about this matter?" Wei Junru was surprised, "Could it be that the person the master wants to capture is this Yangling thief Zhu Anshi?" ”

Gongsun He nodded, looked at Wei Junru and said: "Do you think, if I can capture this person, it will be a great achievement in front of Your Majesty. ”

"That's right!" Wei Junru nodded again and again after hearing this, "Master's plan is excellent, if you can capture this person, you will be able to save the salute!" ”

"It's just... I heard that this Yangling thief Zhu Anshi is extremely cunning, and the court has been fishing for many years without finding anything, how can the lord capture him? As soon as Wei Junru thought of the current situation, the light that had just ignited in his eyes instantly dimmed again.

"There are clues to this matter..."Gongsun He said in a low voice, "I have received a secret report, saying that this Zhu Anshi is hiding in the old house of a-pulp old man on the outskirts of Anyangyi County, this old man is the distant uncle of Zhu Anshi's mother's family, because his grandson owes a huge amount of gambling debts in the gambling house, and he has no choice but to reveal Zhu Anshi's whereabouts." ”

"In that case, why don't you hurry up and take someone to arrest this Yangling thief?" Wei Junru said urgently.

Gongsun He said: "I just learned about this, so I secretly sent someone to arrest it, Anyang Yi is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it will take three or four days to arrive by fast horses, if what Lao Suo said is true, there will be news tomorrow at the latest." ”

"Tomorrow... Tomorrow... Good! Wei Junru muttered to himself, looking out the window at the sky and waiting.

----

Sure enough, a day later, the good news came to Beijing, and the Yangling thief Zhu Anshi was captured in the suburbs of Anyangyi County.

A few days later, Prime Minister Gongsun He personally escorted the prisoner car into Chang'an City, and the dignitaries and giants in Beijing breathed a sigh of relief, how many big cases did this Zhu Anshi commit in this Chang'an City in the past, and countless treasures disappeared overnight, and now this person has been caught, and he can finally eat and sleep peacefully in the future.

Of course, the happiest thing about capturing Zhu Anshi is naturally the current saint driver. Ever since he saw the man in white entering the Jianzhang Palace with a sword that day, Liu Che had trouble sleeping, and always felt that he would be assassinated by others at any time, so that after the assassin's incident, the guards in the Jianzhang Palace were twice as many as usual. But even so, Liu Che still felt that danger lurked and he was uneasy all day long, but now he suddenly heard that the assassin had been caught, and he was overjoyed and relieved.

"The prime minister has done a good job, and I am very happy!" Gongsun He, the prince of Jianzhang Palace, finally met Liu Che and received the expected praise.

"Your Majesty's praise, it is the duty of a minister to be anxious about what Your Majesty is anxious about!" Gongsun He said humbly.

"Hahaha!" Liu Che smiled, "That's good! As a minister, you should be so! ”

"Some time ago, the queen also praised the prime minister for his solemnity and diligence in front of me, and I see that this is not bad!" Liu Che said slowly, but his tone immediately turned stern, "But your son and grandson are arrogant and lawless, what crime should you be guilty of as a prime minister?" ”

Gongsun He hurriedly fell to the ground and confessed: "Your Majesty, the child has done illegal things, it is indeed the minister's fault, please punish Your Majesty!" Please also ask Your Majesty to treat my son lightly for the sake of the old minister's loyalty for many years! ”

Seeing Gongsun He's frightened appearance, Liu Che showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's good that you know your guilt!" I will order the Tingwei Mansion to return Gongsun Jingsheng, and the prime minister will be a good student in the future, and don't make any more mistakes! ”

"No!" Gongsun He was overjoyed, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

----

Gongsun Jingsheng was released from prison, and Gongsun He's family was naturally happy, but Jiang Chong, the messenger of embroidered clothes, hated it.

When he told Liu Che about Gongsun Jingsheng's illegal affairs, he thought that this was a sharp weapon to hit the prince's reliance in the court, but he never expected that this Gongsun He would be able to capture the Yangling thief Zhu Anshi.

"Brother Jiang, it seems that you are still a chess opponent this time!" Du Zhou's smiling smile made Jiang Chong more and more unbearable, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and said, "It is still unknown who killed the deer!" ”

Du Zhou was curious when he heard this: "Could it be that Brother Jiang still has a backhand?" ”

Jiang Chong looked at the dark cell in the depths of the Imperial Prison, his eyes flashed with a ghostly light, like a snake spitting a letter, and said in a dark voice: "Isn't there still this Zhu Anshi?" ”

----

"What, Your Majesty Zhu Anshi?" Gongsun He looked at his henchmen who came to report to him in disbelief and asked, "Is this true?" ”

The person who came nodded and said, "Back to the prime minister, there is no doubt about it!" ”

"Do you know what he said when he wrote to His Majesty?" Gongsun He asked.

The visitor shook his head and said, "This... I don't know, it's just that Zhu Anshi was captured by the prime minister, and I don't know if his book will affect the prime minister. ”

Gongsun He said disdainfully: "This person has been hunted down by the imperial court for many years, and the old man is also taking advantage of the trend, what ability does he have to affect the old man?" ”

"It's just that this person is in prison, how can he have the ability to write to His Majesty?" Gongsun He was puzzled, "There are a lot of doubts about this matter!" ”

After a long silence, Gongsun He said to the visitor: "You go and find out who is the one who wrote for him?" And why did you go to the book? Tell me about it! ”

Not long after the people left the house, a large number of officers and soldiers of the Tingwei Mansion surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gongsun He was shocked when he heard the report, and before he could get out of the inner house, he met the oncoming Tingwei Du Zhou, Gongsun Hedang even lowered his face and said: "I don't know what Lord Tingwei led people to surround my Prime Minister's Mansion, what is his intention?" ”

Du Zhou sneered, arched his hand in the direction of Weiyang Palace, and said: "Under the command of Your Majesty, arrest the disrespectful Gongsun Jingsheng, Gongsun He has no way to teach his son, and he will not report his guilt, and he will be guilty of the same crime as Gongsun Jingsheng!" ”

Gongsun He was greatly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "When did my son commit the crime of great disrespect? I want to meet the Holy One! ”

Du Zhou glanced at Gongsun He, and said coldly: "Prime Minister, let's save your breath, Your Majesty has been sick by your father and son, how can I see you again!" ”

"Take it away!" Du Zhouyi gave an order, and the soldiers quickly took down Gongsun He and Gongsun Jingsheng who heard the sound, and Wei Junru was shocked when he saw this situation. "There is no excuse for the crime of false accusation! I want to face the saint! I want to face the saint! Gongsun He shouted loudly, but no one paid attention to him, only the Prime Minister's Mansion echoed with Gongsun He's indignant cry.

----

By the time Wei Zifu learned the news, it was already two hours later. Wei Junru woke up in fright, couldn't describe it, and immediately hurried into Weiyang Palace, and now her only hope is her sister, Wei Zifu, the queen of the current Han Dynasty.

"Queen! Empress! Wei Junru almost cried and entered the Jiaofang Palace, and her loss of demeanor made Wei Zifu feel shocked in his heart, "Sister, what happened?" You speak slowly! ”

Wei Junru hoarsely said, "Queen, Prime Minister... And the salutation... They were all taken away by the Tingwei Mansion! Say, say... It's a great disrespect to Your Majesty..."

"What!" Wei Zifu's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he was shocked: "The prime minister and Jingsheng were taken away by the Tingwei Mansion?" ”

Wei Junru nodded wordlessly, this sudden change almost made her speechless, only tears flowed tirelessly.

"How disrespectful is it to His Majesty?" Wei Zifu hugged Wei Junru and asked in a good voice.

"I don't know about this..."Wei Junru shook his head and sobbed: "The prime minister only shouted loudly, 'There is no excuse for the crime of false accusation', and the prime minister insisted on facing the saint when he was arrested..."

Wei Zifu's eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes were full of melancholy, and he said to Wei Junru: "With the value of the prime minister, under one person and above ten thousand, it is not a small crime to make His Majesty edict to arrest and convict, my sister will go back to the house for the time being, and I will go to Jianzhang Palace to face the saint!" ”

"Queen..."Wei Junru clenched Wei Zifu's hand, his red and swollen eyes were full of worry and expectation, Wei Zifu nodded at her and smiled slightly, although he was speechless, but it was better than ten thousand words.

----

The north wind was cold, and a chill rushed to his chest when he left the Jiaofang Palace, but Wei Zifu knew that this chill not only came from the temperature difference, but more importantly, it came from the cold in his heart.

Since when has the former affectionate king become more and more estranged, since when has the former trust turned into suspicion, and since when has there been more and more enemies around him, so that after attacking the crown prince, he attacked the prime minister.

What does Gongsun He mean to him and the crown prince? is not only a relative who can trust each other, but also a stable reliance in the court, and now his sudden imprisonment hints at something, Wei Zifu does not dare to think deeply.

The sedan chair is getting closer and closer to the Jianzhang Palace, the uneasiness in Wei Zifu's heart is expanding more and more, since the completion of the Jianzhang Palace, she has gone very few times, over the years, she has guarded the cold and deserted Jiaofang Palace, and the high holy car maintains the emperor's eyebrows, only the loneliness and alienation in the heart, with the passage of time after year, biting herself again and again in the midnight dream.

"Queen, Jianzhang Palace has arrived!" Yun Niang reminded outside the sedan chair.

"Oh..."Wei Zifu replied softly, and then he put back his chaotic thoughts, and after a while, a small brocade box was handed out of the sedan chair, "Yun Niang, hand over the talisman to the door marquis for inspection." ”

"No!" Yun Niang took the answer.

"It's so difficult to even see him now..."Wei Zifu sighed secretly in his heart, and only after the gate marquis had inspected the Fu Jie before he was released, the sedan chair was lifted, crossed the Longhua Gate, and went through the front hall of Jianzhang Palace to the back hall.

The brocade curtain in the Tianliang Hall was low, the incense was slow, Liu Che was leaning on the couch and waiting by Zhao Yan to take the medicinal soup, hearing that the queen asked to see him, he couldn't help frowning, pondered for a moment and said: "Xuan!" ”

"The queen must have something important to see Your Majesty, and the concubine will retire first!" Zhao Yan said empathetically.

Liu Che bowed slightly, with Zhao Yan serving by his side all these years, Liu Che felt very comfortable. It is especially rare that the Holy Lady Rilong, but she does not see the slightest arrogance, but is always careful and considerate everywhere, which makes Liu Che quite praised.

Not long after, Wei Zifu entered the hall with the small yellow door, met Zhao Yan who was leaving, saw Zhao Yan holding a porcelain bowl and smelling the smell of medicine in the hall, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he saluted Liu Che and said: "The concubine doesn't know that Your Majesty's holy bow is sick, and she can't serve the illness by the side, please condemn Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Che stopped and said, "The queen doesn't come here often, and it makes sense to know that I am ill, give me a seat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Zifu got up and knelt down on the cushion on the side, and said softly: "Your Majesty is sick, the concubine should not mention this matter, but it is about the prime minister's father and son, the concubine..."

Without waiting for Wei Zifu to finish speaking, Liu Che said: "The queen is here to intercede for the prime minister's father and son?" ”

Wei Zifu lowered his eyes slightly, and only said: "I don't know what crime the prime minister's father and son committed to make Your Majesty so angry?" ”

Liu Che said to the little yellow door standing aside: "Take the case file to the queen!" ”

Xiao Huangmen took out a scroll on the case and presented it to Wei Zifu, Wei Zifu opened the scroll with a suspicious face, and his face changed greatly after reading a few lines, the more he looked down, the more shocked he looked, and when he finished reading a volume, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"What does the queen think?" Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu's changed expression, and said slowly: "For such a crime, it's not too much for me to arrest the prime minister's father and son and put them in prison, right?" ”

Wei Zifu held the scroll in his hand, his palms were already dripping with cold sweat, and he hurriedly said when he heard the words: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" The concubine didn't know that Jingsheng had committed such a big crime, but the concubine still had doubts, the words on this volume were said by Zhu Anshi, the thief of Yangling, Your Majesty had ever verified it? ”

Liu Che's face swelled with anger when he heard this, and his tone became stern, "Am I so easy to deceive?" The charges against Gongsun Jingsheng cited in the volume, I have sent someone to verify them one by one! It's just that this guy has a secret communication with Princess Yangshi, and he dares to bury a puppet on the galloping road of Ganquan Palace to curse me, how can I bear it! ”

Looking at Liu Che's angry expression, Wei Zifu's heart had a very bad premonition, she wanted to say something, but in the end she just pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Half an hour later, Wei Zifu walked out of the Tianliang Palace, her gaze swept across the dark and snowy sky, looking deep and sad, everything has its own destiny, what should come, will always come.
