Prime Minister Qian Wenxuan hurriedly came to the prince's mansion, and Zhao Size couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the report of his subordinates. got up to greet him, "The Prime Minister is coming, and he is not welcomed." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The prime minister bowed respectfully.

"Excuse me, please get up." Zhao Size was a little inexplicable to the prime minister who was suddenly respectful and polite to him. Helped him up with his own hands and motioned for the tea to fall.

Qian Wenxuan said respectfully to Zhao Size: "The minister has served the will of the saint to preside over the case of the solemn management of the household department, and the saint has a decree, please ask the prince to preside over the trial." ”

"Oh!" Zhao Ize suddenly realized that it was his father who ordered him to try the case of theft of treasury silver. No wonder the prime minister suddenly came to the door and was polite to himself.

Qian Wenxuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said cautiously to Zhao Size: "I don't know when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to interrogate." ”

Zhao Size pondered for a moment and decided to go to the princess's mansion to investigate the situation before making plans. So he said to Qian Wenxuan, "It's getting late today, and tomorrow I will have a retrial with the Criminal Department." Tonight you go and order the jailer to keep a strict watch, so that the main culprit must not be allowed to make any mistakes. ”

"Yes, the lower officials will do it, and tomorrow we will wait for the prince in the criminal department." Qian Wen announced his resignation from the house, hurried to the prison of the Criminal Department, summoned the cell head, and shouted: "You personally stay here tonight, and take care of the few prisoners sent today, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise you will come to see you." The jailer and cell boss were frightened and nodded their heads again and again.

As soon as Qian Wenxuan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he received a letter, opened it, but it was a handwritten letter from the queen, with a stern tone, ordering him to find a way to get rid of Ding Yi in order to prevent future troubles.

Qian Wenxuan smiled coldly after reading it, undeniable, hid the letter in the dark compartment, turned around and walked out of the study.

Early the next morning, Zhao Size came to the lobby of the Criminal Department and looked at Qian Wenxuan, who was respectful. Zhao Size smiled faintly, walked up to the main seat, and Qian Wenxuan and Zhengqing of the Criminal Department sat on both sides.

Zhao Si ordered Ding Yi to be brought to the court for trial, Ding Yi was brought to the hall with torture tools, Zhao Ize shouted: "Ding Yi, you colluded with household officials and stole treasury silver, who instructed it, and you didn't recruit it from the truth, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and skin." ”

Ding Yi lay on the ground, "Everything is done by the villain alone, it has nothing to do with others, and no one directs him." ”

Zhao Size was shocked, "Bold Ding Yi, how can you know the location of the warehouse accurately, dig the tunnel so accurately, if there is no accomplice of the household officials, how can you do it." It seems that you are not moving, the punishment is not recruited, come to someone, and pull me down for forty rights and responsibilities. The soap in the hall stepped forward and pulled Ding Yi, and was about to drag him down, only to see him trembling all over, falling to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, and his pupils dilated.

Zhao Size and Qian Wenxuan looked at each other, hurriedly went down to check, shook their heads, and still took advantage of the loophole and gave them a mouthful.

Zhao Size shouted loudly, detaining everyone who had contact with Ding Yi yesterday, and he couldn't let go of one.

At this time, the cell boss hurriedly came over and said, "Lord Qiyu, the cell is on fire, and more than a dozen prisoners brought in yesterday were hacked to death by random knives on the way to escape, and none of them survived. ”

"What?" How so! Zhao Size and Qian Wenxuan turned to stare at the officials of the Criminal Department. When Zhengqing of the Criminal Department heard the report, he collapsed on the ground in fright, trembling all over, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he shook his head again and again, "This is impossible, how is this possible!" How could a good person in the prison of the Criminal Department be on fire! ”

Zhao Size shouted: "Detain all the officials of the Criminal Department, from the Zhengqing of the Criminal Department to the head of the cell, and they are not allowed to step out of the Criminal Department, and they will all be detained." The prime minister is here to wait for me to enter the palace to tell my father. ”

After listening to Zhao Size's report, Zhao Lingyu was angry and angry, and shouted loudly: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, who is so bold and dares to burn down the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and steal the treasury, do they still have the emperor in their eyes." After speaking, he clutched his heart tightly, his face turned pale, and he gasped for breath.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Size couldn't help but be surprised, stepped forward, helped Zhao Lingyu, and asked repeatedly: "Father, what's wrong with you." He sat him on the dragon chair and shouted, "Go and send the imperial doctor to come in and treat my father." ”

Zhao Lingyu took a breath and said, "Quickly summon the eldest princess into the palace to discuss matters." ”

Mao Lingfeng was called to hurriedly enter the palace, and when he saw that Zhao Size was also in the imperial study, he couldn't help but be stunned, shouldn't he be in the lobby of the Criminal Department, how did he enter the palace. Could it be that something happened to the Criminal Department? ”

Zhao Lingyu saw Mao Lingfeng coming in, beckoned and said, "Feng'er, come here." ”

Mao Lingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and was just about to give a salute. Zhao Lingyu waved his hand, exempting those false courtesies, Feng'er, they were so bold that they dared to burn down the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Sima Zhao's heart, it was obvious to reveal. Feng'er, what do you say you should do now? ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled slightly when he heard this, his uncle didn't have to worry, he poisoned Ding Yi and burned down the prison of the Punishment Department, indicating that Ding Yi was arrested, and they were afraid that things would fail, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry. This makes it seem that Ding Yi has mastered a lot of things. Since it has been burned, it is useless to check again, we have to pay attention to the movements of the Praetorian Guards on the outskirts of Beijing. Otherwise, let's strike first and control the Praetorian Guard first. ”

Zhao Lingyu glanced at Mao Lingfeng, "This matter still needs Feng'er to take action in order to control the Praetorian Guard." ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled, "Uncle doesn't have a suitable candidate, so he has to drag his niece."

Zhao Lingyu's face turned red, our brothers who passed away are all old and recuperating at home, young generals, most of them are guarding outside, and those who stay in the capital are all bought by them. Now there are really no suitable candidates for the believers around me. Feng'er can work hard, so he and Si Ze will go to the Praetorian Guard together, which can be regarded as the emperor's uncle, please you. ”

Mao Lingfeng sighed, "The imperial uncle ordered, and the niece dared to resign, but in this way, the niece was hated to death by the imperial aunt and cousin Cheng." ”

Zhao Lingyu sighed, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no one around me, I wouldn't want to drag Feng'er into the water, and now I can only wronged Feng'er to go to the Praetorian Guard camp for me. If a general refuses to accept it, no matter what position he holds, he will be killed! ”

"Then please ask the imperial uncle to give an order, and I will go to the Praetorian Guard camp with Cousin Ze immediately." Mao Lingfeng sighed.

Zhao Lingyu immediately wrote the holy decree and handed it to Zhao Size, "Go quickly!" ”

Mao Lingfeng took Zhiqin and Zhiqi, and Zhao Ize took a few relatives and a few people, and hurriedly beat horses out of the city. Came to the Praetorian Guard camp.

When the commander of the Praetorian Guard heard the report that the crown prince and the eldest princess had arrived, he couldn't help but be surprised, and a sense of foreboding arose. Hurriedly summoned all the generals and hurried to the gate of the Praetorian Guard camp. Seeing the crown prince Zhao Size and the three women riding on horses, all of them were heroic and radiant.

So he led the generals to kneel on the ground, "I didn't see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, I don't know that the eldest princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the camp of the Praetorian Guard, and they missed the distance." ”

Zhao Size took out the holy decree and read it out loud, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor has a decree, the special eldest princess temporarily commands the post of commander of the Praetorian Guard, the purpose is to be carried out, the former commander of the Praetorian Guard is crowned the Marquis of Zhongyi, and enters the government of the court, if there is a violation of the will, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

When Chen Cheng heard this, this was not a curved shape of Mingsheng and secretly descending, grabbing power and cutting him as commander, he slowly stood up, "I am not afraid, I dare not accept the order, please return to the saint, the last general is only shallow in learning, and he is not worthy of entering the court, please take back the emperor's fate." ”

Zhao Size's face sank, "Bold Chen Cheng, you actually dare to resist and disobey." ”

Chen Cheng looked respectful, "It's really not a matter of merit and I don't dare to accept it, please tell the prince to the saint, and ask the saint to take back his fate." ”

Mao Lingfeng sat on the horse and sneered, "The emperor's holy decree has been issued, how can Jinkou Yuyan take it back, the commander does not obey the will and refuses to hand over the military talisman, can he not succeed if he wants to support the army and rebel." ”

Chen Cheng glanced at her, a woman, not at home with her husband and children, showing her face, not abiding by women's morality, my Praetorian Guard does not need a woman to come to the Praetorian Guard to point fingers. ”

"Hehe...... it turns out that Lord Chen is a dog who looks down on people and looks down on women. Then let you see the fate of despising women. As soon as the words fell, Mao Lingfeng jumped up on the horse, his body flashed, the phoenix chicken sword on his waist came out of the sheath, and a cold light flashed.

Chen Cheng only felt a cold light flickering in front of him, and before he could avoid it, Feng Mingjian had already cut off one of his arms. Chen Cheng screamed and covered his bleeding right shoulder, sweating profusely in pain, staring at the stunning woman in front of him in disbelief. I was afraid in my heart, what a fast sword, if the sword just now wanted to take my head, I would have died.

Mao Lingfeng put his sword in the sheath and stood proudly against the wind, "This general commands thousands of troops and horses, and the horses are on the battlefield, and there are soldiers who are not satisfied from the end, and dare to be disrespectful to this general." Today you are the first, and Ben will be merciful, and take your arm as a tribute. ”

The other generals of the Praetorian Guard looked at the stunning woman standing in the wind, her clothes fluttering, and she stood proudly with a strong body. couldn't help but feel a chill, just now she didn't even see how the woman pulled the sword out of the sheath, and she had already cut off Chen Cheng's arm. The generals of the Praetorian Guard looked at each other, all of them shrunk their necks, thinking in their hearts whether they would still be alive if the sword just fell on them. The answer, of course, is no.

Zhao Size couldn't help but be startled when he saw Mao Lingfeng suddenly make a move and cut off one of Chen Cheng's arms, looking at the woman standing proudly, with a fierce momentum and a murderous aura, contrary to his usual gentle appearance, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It's really unseemly, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would believe that the usually gentle and kind eldest princess has become an iron-blooded female general.

Zhiqin and Zhiqi looked at each other and smiled, this is the female general who kills decisively, she has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and the young lady has become more and more gentle under the love of the prince, and she usually rarely appears on the side of the iron-blooded general. Hello, the tiger is not powerful, when the lady is a sick cat!

Chen Cheng clutched his right shoulder, drenched in blood and crumbling in pain. Zhao Ize shouted at the stunned generals, General Chen has committed the following crimes, and he has been punished by the eldest princess, and he has not called the military doctor to stop the bleeding of General Chen. Zhao Size's cry woke up the stunned generals, and they knelt on the ground, "The last general has seen the eldest princess and His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Mao Lingfeng saw that Chen Chengyou was standing still, and sneered, "Why is General Chen not convinced." ”

Chen Cheng endured the great pain and settled down, "The eldest princess made a sneak attack, and she didn't accept it until she checkmated." ”

Mao Lingfeng swept the Praetorian Guard general who was kneeling on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this dismount is still quite effective. At least now they don't dare to mutiny, and it's easy to convince them next.
