Song Zhancheng stopped the topic in time, and several officials were also quite cooperative, and after the palace gate was opened, they politely entered each other.

In the early dynasty, the emperor first briefly mentioned state affairs, and only when no one played, did he mention Song Zhancheng's return to Beijing.

"Prince Jin is going to the border area, leading our soldiers and soldiers, turning the tide, occupying Yunshui Pass and other dangerous places, and beating Hengguo into cringe, which really makes my heart happy!" The emperor laughed loudly.

Song Zhancheng said modestly after coming out of the ranks: "Erchen was lucky and was able to repel the enemy, Erchen knows that there is still a lot of progress, and my father should stop praising Erchen." ”

"I haven't finished talking yet, Prince Jin led the elite soldiers to raid and suppress the bandits, so that the bandits in the border area will be cleared, you can tell them the details."

"Yes," Song Zhancheng paused, and then said: "Erchen suspects that these mountain bandits are the culprits who provoked the war between the two countries, they provoked in the two countries at the same time, but left no traces, this kind of behavior will definitely make each other think that the other party did it, but Erchen specially investigated, what happened in Yiguo, Hengguo also happened, so it seems that their purpose is very clear, so Erchen is in danger to arrest him, and now he is imprisoned in the prison, waiting for his father to fall." ”

Song Zhancheng naturally brought Lan Yuan and the others back when he returned to Beijing, and he hadn't checked Lan Yuan's true identity yet, but it was only a matter of time.

When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, if that's the case, then you have really made a great contribution, and when I find out, I will reward you well." ”

"The son thanked his father."

"This time the Prince of Jin won a complete victory, I named you the prince and the first-class general of Shangguo, since you have returned to Beijing, I will let you rest for a while, and I will have to share the burden when I go back!"

Song Zhancheng said bluntly: "The sons thank their fathers for their understanding, but they are willing to share the burden for their fathers." ”

The emperor smiled deeply, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Then give you ten days, and after ten days, you will go to court normally, and then return the matters under your previous jurisdiction to you, don't let me down." ”

"The son understands, thank you father."

As soon as the emperor said a word, the position of the DPRK and China was immediately clear, before Song Zhancheng left, the power was transferred, and Song Jinghe was alone, but Song Zhancheng's previous power was intertwined, even if he left, the people under him still grasped the things that belonged to him firmly, and they would not give Song Jinghe a chance at all.

Others don't know, but Song Jinghe understands in his heart that in order to deal with Song Zhancheng, he lost a lot of manpower, and as soon as Song Zhancheng came back, he didn't have to do anything and the original power came back, in comparison, Song Jinghe was a big loss.

Even if he was so tired and hateful that he wanted to wipe Song Zhancheng's neck and kill him and whip his corpse, Song Jinghe still had to remain silent and calm, he smiled and said at the right time: "As soon as the second brother comes back, the burden on my body will be a lot lighter, and I have been waiting for a long time." ”

Song Zhancheng glanced at him coldly and didn't reply, but the emperor was smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyes, "You two brothers are supporting me to deal with state affairs, and I am very satisfied." ”

Song Jinghe smiled warmly, Song Zhancheng's face remained unchanged, and after a few words, the emperor went down to the morning court, and when the emperor left, the atmosphere in the court suddenly dispersed, Song Jinghe stared at Song Zhancheng's back one step ahead, gritting his teeth and hiding his hatred under the skin.

Originally, he had never put Song Zhancheng in his eyes, since when did this person start to compete with him for this place, if he can let go, it will not be Song Jinghyuk.

Song Jinghe didn't notice Song Zhancheng's whereabouts after that, and when he returned to the mansion, he was told by his subordinates that Song Zhancheng did not leave the palace, but went to the imperial study as soon as he was in the morning, as if he had something to discuss.

Song Jinghyuk regretted it more than once, if he had found out at the beginning, he could have found an excuse to see what was going on, but now it would be indecent to go again.

However, there is naturally his eyeliner in the palace, and it is okay to wait for the news.

But in the end, I was unwilling.

Song Zhancheng was ready to go to the emperor in private to talk about things, and he had not yet received the reward promised by the emperor, so he took this opportunity to help Cheng Jingyun redress his grievances and clear his name, and at the same time he could be alone, so as not to be criticized and pampered.

The emperor was not surprised by his arrival, and only after a while of praise did he ask: "Didn't I already think about the reward I promised you?" ”

"Exactly, the son-in-law has already thought about it, and he specially came to ask his father for it."

The emperor smiled and said, "Just say it, as long as I can give it, I won't be stingy." ”

"Thank you father, what the son wants is nothing else, but a word from his father." Song Zhancheng said bluntly.

"In a word? What words? The emperor said strangely.

has made such a great contribution, don't want anything else, just a word? The emperor is naturally strange, but his heart is also a lot more stable, he was worried that Song Zhancheng was fond of pampering power, but now he is relieved.

"This matter has to start from a few months ago, when Erchen was leading the pursuers to hunt down the mountain bandits who attacked our army's granary, and he was not very clear about what was going on in the camp, but as soon as Erchen came back, Bu Yun, the maid next to Erchen, was executed for using medical herbs to disregard human life and other crimes without authorization, Erchen really didn't understand, why his father would make such a holy decree, and now Buyun has fled, life and death are unknown, and Erchen can't do anything, so he can only ask his father for a word, and ask for a sentence of Buyun's innocence."

After listening quietly, the emperor frowned unconsciously, and said: "I have an impression of this matter, the prince and I have explained this matter, this maid Buyun did not know how to treat at all, let alone use medicine, the soldiers in the army were persecuted by him, and even more almost died, do you think this kind of person can stay?" Besides, you were not in the barracks at the time, and you were not familiar with it, so how can you say that you are innocent? ”

Song Zhancheng's words sank, and said: "Erchen is worried that his father will be bewitched, and it is really inappropriate to convict him without evidence. ”

"Evidence? I really don't have any evidence, so what evidence do you have to prove the innocence of this Buyun? ”

As long as the evidence is presented, it will not be difficult for the emperor to say this.

Song Zhancheng was not in a hurry, slowly raised his head and said: "The son has evidence, but he needs his father to publicize one person." ”

The emperor frowned, knowing that Song Zhancheng was unwilling to give up, but he was a meritorious person, so he could only nod and say: "If you want to pass on someone, you can pass it on." ”

Song Zhancheng turned around and said to the public at the door: "Xuan Zhao Qingtian is here." ”

After waiting for more than a stick of incense, Zhao Qingtian appeared outside the door, and Zhao Qingtian stepped into the imperial study through his father-in-law, and then knelt behind Song Zhancheng and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen the prince." ”

"Let's be flat." The emperor looked at Zhao Qingtian and asked, "Zhan Cheng said that you have evidence to prove Buyun's innocence, is this true?" ”

Zhao Qingtian nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was densely covered by himself, he handed it to the emperor's father-in-law, and said: "This is a petition, a petition written by 10,000 soldiers of our army for Miss Buyun, and please read it carefully." ”

Father-in-law Tai handed it over to the emperor, and after the emperor took over, his face changed suddenly.
