"Hmph, short-sighted, I'm just afraid that this Chenghe has the heart of rebellion." Empress Qi said leisurely, she will not forget the humiliation she received tonight, although she has long known that the throne should not fall to her son, but if Chenghe does not hide the news, the edict will be read in the palace of Concubine Jing, how can Concubine Jing humiliate her in front of so many people with the face of a villain?

"So what do you say you should do?" Concubine Jing asked loudly.

"His body should be hung on the gate of the imperial city to show the public, and inform the world of what kind of criminal punishment people will be subject to if they rebel, so as to deter the world."

"Heh," Concubine Jing sneered, "Rebellion? Who has the evidence that he is a rebel? The crime of rebellion is to punish the nine clans, and the queen doesn't want to wronged people, so she can accumulate virtue and save hell. ”

Empress Qi snorted coldly, her time was about to leave, her words had begun to become dispensable, and even those who were around her before were wagging their tails and begging for mercy like pugs were thinking about how to deal with her in order to please Concubine Jing.

Huang Gongfu listened to Queen Qi's words, and suddenly his heart began to live, this opportunity is rare.

"Long live, there is some truth in what the minister thinks about Queen Qi, although this Chenghe can't directly say that he is rebellious, but he guards the emperor's dragon body and refuses to report the funeral, his heart can be punished, according to the minister's opinion, he hung his body on the city gate on the charge of rebellion, just read that he was good to the emperor before, and did not pursue the rest of the people."

Huan Sheng just wanted to say something, but Concubine Jing winked at him vigorously, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so she had to say, "Aiqing, Rong Zhen think about it." ”

Huan Sheng quickly walked to his mother's side, lowered his body, and attached his ears to Jing Guifei's side, Jing Guifei whispered: "Sheng'er, what this Huang Gongfu says is what it is, I guess your father did not make an edict, this edict is only afraid that he forged it, and now you have not held an enthronement ceremony, then you are not the real new monarch of the world, in case he suddenly changes his hexagram, and no one can testify for our mother and son, Queen Qi, you also know that you don't want you to ascend the throne the most, so this Huang Gongfu is your reliance, remember not to offend." ”

"The child knows."

Huan Sheng walked over and said, "Okay, let's do it according to Aiqing's words." ”

Huang Gongfu beckoned and motioned for the soldiers to come over, only to see four strong ironclad men coming over, Huang Gongfu said: "Hang Chenghe's body on the west city gate." ”

Four strong men carried Chenghe's body down, and then Huang Gongfu called the servant again, and asked the heavens to choose an auspicious day to prepare for the burial of Huan Ji.

Everything was arranged smoothly, the sky was already bright, and everyone slowly left the courtyard, Queen Qi pushed Huan Ling's four-wheeled wooden cart, her face was extremely ugly, and Concubine Jing smiled and pulled Huan Sheng out tightly. really responded to the sentence "the most ruthless emperor's family", ordinary people would still cry and mourn, but there was no here, only a few princesses sobbed slightly, and the others looked indifferent.

Huang Gongfu walked at the end, firstly, he was obese and a little inconvenient to walk, and secondly, he had some other concerns, he knew that someone would come to him, so he simply explained here, saving himself from being troubled by others after returning home.

Sure enough, as soon as Huang Gongfu stepped out of the courtyard door, Yan Yifan rubbed his eyes pretendically, pretended to be sad and walked over slowly, and said softly: "Why didn't your lord just let the rest of the people be held accountable?" As long as you add a little oil and vinegar, I don't believe that Uncle Yang can still be alone, and the relationship between him and Chenghe is not shallow. ”

"The emperor is not stupid, he knows that Uncle Yang has made great contributions to the court, although this emperor has a weak personality, he wants to be a wise man. Besides, Uncle Yang has won the hearts of the people and has a solid foundation, how can he be so easy to overthrow. There is still a long time in the future, take your time, the emperor today is not like the previous emperor, don't worry. ”

After Huang Gongfu finished speaking, he walked forward without looking back, leaving only Yan Yifan, who was still stunned, he still didn't understand why Huang Gongfu didn't take this opportunity to join Uncle Yang's book, even if the emperor didn't punish Uncle Yang, but Uncle Yang's status in the emperor's heart would drop a lot, and he could see the situation clearly today, as long as Huang Gongfu said that the emperor would agree.

Yan Yifan shook his head, he missed this opportunity, he was afraid that he would have to work hard in the future.

Huang Gongfu walked forward, sneering in his heart, this Yan Yifan is still too young, the emperor wants to be a Ming Jun, and now he is using himself, and after using it, he may calculate the new and old accounts together, rather than waiting until then, it is better to pretend to be for the country and the people, magnanimity, and then work hard, if the emperor wants to be a Ming Jun, let him be a Ming Jun. If a person has no desires and no desires, he will not have the slightest flaw for others to grasp, and once he has what he wants, his shortcomings will be exposed. This is exactly what Huang Gongfu wants to take advantage of.

Besides, Uncle Yang and Pu Xianyu are already almost in the imperial city, and they can vaguely see the arrow tower on the city wall.

Uncle Yang's heart was greatly relaxed, Zihua was alert, if there was any change, he would definitely send someone to report to him as soon as possible, he had already walked within the scope of the imperial city, and still did not receive news from Zihua, which meant that everything was going well, he only needed to go back to the palace, and then let Chenghe announce the emperor's death.

Uncle Yang hadn't slept all night, and now that he was relaxed, he suddenly felt a little drowsy, so he simply leaned on the carriage and slept for a while. The car ran on the familiar post road, which made Uncle Yang feel relieved, although this trip to Mianzhou was not smooth, but he also knew that the implementation of the new law was normal now, and he would continue to do so without him. When he thinks of this, he can't help but raise the corners of his mouth, although it is a time of national mourning.

"My lord, there seems to be a man hanging on the city wall!" Suddenly, Pu Xianyu's voice came in, waking up Uncle Yang from his stupor.

Uncle Yang lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the city gate, it was a blur, because he often read under the oil lamp at night in the past three years, writing new decrees, his eyesight has deteriorated a lot, and now he can't see it really if he is a little farther away, but he believes that Pu Xianyu will not be wrong, Uncle Yang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Quick, get over there!" Uncle Yang almost shouted.

"Drive!" Pu Xianyu shook the reins violently and urged the old horse to run forward, and the old horse seemed to be aware of his master's anxiety, snorted, and ran forward with all his strength.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, Uncle Yang was horrified. "How so? Quick, go to the palace! ”

The carriage crossed the entire imperial city, speeding along the way, startling the pedestrians on both sides to avoid in a hurry.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Uncle Yang couldn't wait to jump down and hurriedly ran towards the palace gate, where the palace gate guard stopped him with a halberd.

"I'm going in to meet the emperor, you won't retreat!"

The halberd armor soldier bowed slightly, and said: "My lord, I am ordered by the young master to not let anyone enter, the emperor has died, and now is the time of the national funeral, in case of trouble, the new monarch's enthronement ceremony will be held at the next time, and the adults can enter the palace again at the next time." ”

"The emperor died, but there is an edict out, which prince has been made the new king?" Uncle Yang's voice was a little irritable, not at all like the modest he used to be.

"Your Excellency, the emperor's edict, the second prince is the prince, and the edict read by the Taifu lord."

Uncle Yang only felt that the world was spinning, and took a step back, Pu Xianyu hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and scolded angrily: "Lord Taiwei is the pillar of the country, and now he can't even enter the palace?" ”

"My lord, this ...... Don't make me wait. The armor begged.

Pu Xianyu still had something to say, and Uncle Yang waved his hand: "Go back, Pu Xianyu, don't be embarrassed on duty, let's go." ”

Uncle Yang felt that all the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and at this moment he just wanted to go back and go back to his own house, it was too late.

Pu Xianyu didn't speak anymore after listening, but just helped Uncle Yang and walked towards the carriage. Uncle Yang withdrew his arm and said, "Pu Xianyu, you go, you don't have to go back to the house with me, I want to take a walk by myself and take a look at this imperial city." ”

"Adult ......"

Uncle Yang walked forward slowly, suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old, like a twilight year, he kept walking, he didn't know where to go, just walked forward, let the autumn wind blow, aimlessly, the hustle and bustle around him could not enter his ears, he seemed to have no intuition.

Pu Xianyu led the carriage and followed closely behind, although he didn't like to use his brain, it was not that he hadn't read history books, didn't the Shang Jun of the year encounter such a situation? He really sweated secretly for Uncle Yang.

In front of the door of the house, Uncle Yang slowly walked up the steps, buckled the door knocker, and after a while, the old housekeeper opened the door, seeing that Uncle Yang hurriedly let him in, and then closed the door again. Pu Xianyu was stopped at the door, looking at this usually luxurious-looking Taiwei Mansion, he felt a little sad, sighed, turned around and led the carriage to his mansion.

Uncle Yang came in the door, took the old housekeeper's hand and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Ying, where is Zihua?" ”

"Sir, Madame in the backyard."

Uncle Yang walked into the backyard, only to see Zihua dressed in plain clothes, with hemp rope tied around his waist, staring at the cypress tree tightly, I don't know what she was thinking, I was fascinated, and I didn't even notice Uncle Yang approaching.

Uncle Yang walked behind her and called softly, "Zihua." ”

Zihua turned around suddenly, only to see that her eyes were red and swollen, and when she saw Uncle Yang, she threw herself into his arms, tears flowed down, and she choked up and said, "Husband, the imperial brother is gone, and now the eldest father is also gone, it's too late." ”

Uncle Yang gently patted Zihua's back for a long time, and waited for Zihua to calm down a little before comforting carefully: "I'm still here, don't worry, I will obey the orders of the emperor and my father, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, we will leave, okay?" ”

Zihua nodded. Uncle Yang put his arm around Zihua's trembling shoulders and sniffed her fragrance, everything seems to be no longer so important, as long as Zihua is still there, and she is still pregnant with their child, the royal power and wealth are just a passing cloud, today and tomorrow may not be there, only the person in his arms is his everything, whether it is in the temple or in the wilderness, it doesn't matter at all.
