Due to the successive changes, the people in Beijing are also discussing, and it is not uncommon for officials to openly sleep in the Qinglou, however, it is the first time that the scene has reached such a big scene a few days ago, and people with a heart will guess the emperor's attitude. Some said that they would dismiss all these officials, while others said that the emperor was merciful and would give them a chance, and even said that the law did not hold the people accountable, and the emperor would definitely pick it up, put it down gently, and give a punishment without saltiness. Similar sayings were widely circulated in the streets and alleys, and the small people were all entangled in these major events of the imperial court, but they forgot the original cause of the previous war in the northwest.

Feng Wuxian didn't want to let go of this matter easily, given that there were no courtiers he valued among them, even if a squire from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites was among them, he had no intention of letting these people escape. He is also a square person, and he is disgusted with those absurd behaviors, which is why he was quite complaining about Feng Wuhou and He Weitao and others back then, and now he has such a great opportunity to rectify the rule of officials, how can he be hindered by some admonitions?

The officials were in a coma at home for three days before they woke up, and then what awaited them was an extremely harsh decree from the emperor. Among these people, all officials below the third rank will be fined three years, demoted by two ranks, and will be recorded in the official department more than once, and will not be allowed to hold central or local important posts in the future. The three officials above the third grade were even more unlucky, and they were all dismissed on the grounds of not abiding by the official rules, and this kind of thunderous treatment made all the officials and people who watched the excitement dumbfounded. In the past, the punishment of officials was always severe punishment for those with low rank, and symbolic punishment such as fines for those with high rank, but this time the emperor turned it completely upside down, which greatly violated their ordinary understanding.

Meanwhile. Feng Wuxian secretly instructed Shi Zong and Xu Chun to step up their investigation of the mastermind behind the scenes, and strictly monitor the Du clan. Because of this woman's relationship, he also turned his suspicious gaze to Qijun Wang Feng Wuhao. After all, there is at least one layer of kinship between the two. With one more heart, the Earth Stone Sect even sent someone to draw a few images of the prince. And took it to the shopkeeper of Yiyun Pavilion to look at, and sure enough, although the shopkeeper claimed that the VIP of that day was not any of the above, he also said the height and shape of the pair of masters and servants, and revealed a detail. That is, the master often stroked the right forehead with his right hand.

Shi Zong, who had made a lot of gains, immediately rushed back to report it, and this news made Feng Wuxi's eyes light up. Qijun Wang Feng Wuhao lost his mother since he was a child, so he was often bullied, and there were many cases of bruised nose and swollen face, and the most serious one was to fall to the forehead, not counting the blood, almost lost his life, and left a large scar on the forehead. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but make up his mind, even if it was groundless. He couldn't let it go easily.

In the middle of the night, Feng Wuhao was suddenly invited into the palace almost unprepared, despite his composure.

But he still had a sense that the situation was not good. Although he and Feng Wuxian are brothers, the relationship between the two is extremely weak, far inferior to the others. Moreover, his age is far from that of the first emperor's princes, so there is no one who is compatible. Once things change, even a single intercessor can't be found. Thinking of this, his back gradually became a little wet, and the fists in his hands were clenched a little, as if to dispel the panic in his heart.

As soon as he entered the Qinzheng Palace, Feng Wuhao sensed a stiff and cold atmosphere, so he didn't even dare to raise his head. Just by observing from the corner of his eye, he found that none of the palace maids and eunuchs who were supposed to be standing around were missing, and there seemed to be only the inseparable Xiao Fangzi and the Immortal beside the emperor. He showed a wry smile, knelt down and prostrated himself according to the courtesy: "Brother knock to see the emperor!" ”

Feng Wuxian did not call out as pleasantly as usual, but spoke coldly:

"Twelfth brother, I heard that you have been going out frequently recently, and you are very enthusiastic with those court officials, it seems that you really have a heart!" He didn't wait for Feng Wuhao to answer, and said to himself, "The shopkeeper of Yiyun Pavilion also said that there were distinguished guests on his side, and I didn't expect that the twelfth brother, a county king, would actually mix with a group of people in the rivers and lakes in a dignified manner, which really surprised me!" ”

Feng Wuhao only felt a sentence hit his heart like a heavy hammer, and beads of sweat rolled down on the gold bricks on the ground, making a palpitating sound. Although there were countless preset responses in advance, when it really came to the Imperial Saint, Feng Wuhao found that he couldn't say a word. Although he is nearly thirty years old, he is really inferior to his experience, just a few words with temptation, he can't help himself, but he just forcibly suppresses the panic in his heart and says: "Emperor Mingjian, although the younger brother has occasionally gone out of the house to hang out recently, he has never been to Yundu Mountain, how can he show up in Yiyun Pavilion?" It must be that the shopkeeper's business is too good and he remembers the wrong face. ”

"Oh, really?" Feng Wuxian glanced at the figure on his head, and his face was a little more sneering, "Twelfth brother, those martial arts people have long been held by Shuntianfu, although they can't tell where you came from, but one of the cautious people has left a little mark on your royal jade plate, do you dare to take out your jade card and show it to me?" ”

Feng Wuhao was terrified when he heard this, how could he have thought that those martial artists would use such hands and feet, and he was stunned at the moment. He trembled and reached to his waist, trying to remove the jade plaque but couldn't. Finally, he laughed miserably, tore off the jade plaque vigorously, and threw it on the ground at will, only then did he raise his head and say: "I didn't expect that the emperor knew everything and already knew everything." The subordinate brother is just a powerless person, let it be disposed of! ”

Feng Wuxian only sneered slightly, he was just deceiving him, he didn't expect Feng Wuhao to admit it so easily. He slowly stood up from the throne, walked up to Feng Wuhao in a few steps, and said condescendingly: "Feng Wuhao, I treat you well, although I don't necessarily reuse you, but I haven't let others bully you, I can't imagine that you will secretly do such a thing." Let me ask you, did Tang Zengyuan's wife Du Shi secretly help you? ”

Feng Wuhao didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask such a strange question, and couldn't help but show a stunned expression, and only after a long time did he laugh and said: "The emperor's words are really ridiculous, the courtiers are confused, and this is a big mistake, what's the matter with a woman's family?" Moreover, Mrs. Tang is just a wife of the imperial court, even if she has the ability, it is impossible for her to support others! Although his every move was behind Uncle Huo's back, he always thought that this person was his nursing mother's biological son, so he didn't regard him as someone from Du's side. Moreover, Du Shi didn't say a word about the court in front of him, and Feng Wuhao was not such a shrewd person, how could he know how terrible and crazy this woman was?

Feng Wuxian frowned, he thought that since Feng Wuhao dared to stir up trouble in the capital, he must have some contact with the previous group, but he didn't expect that the other party was completely in the dark. He carefully looked at Feng Wuhao's expression, and when he saw that it didn't seem to be a fake, the doubts in his heart deepened. After ordering the guards outside to take Feng Wuhao down, he carefully pondered the original situation, and in the end, he still made up his mind.

In the middle of the night, the capital is extremely quiet, and only the sound of night patrols sounded from time to time. However, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps in the darkness, followed by a group of heavily armed sergeants, firmly surrounding the Tang Mansion. Since it was the emperor who personally confessed, Xu Chun actually went out in person. The people of the Tang Mansion who were awakened were all flustered, and even Tang Zengyuan didn't know where the disaster started.

Du Shi woke up as early as when he heard that someone was surrounding the Tang Mansion, she was not an ordinary person, so naturally she would not take chances. When she saw Xu Chun himself appearing in person, a feeling that the general trend had gone suddenly appeared in her mind. Although she was confident in what she was doing, she knew better that for the Supreme on the throne, a trumped-up crime could kill her. All her madness is for an extremely paranoid idea, that is, to grasp power, and years of hard work have given her a preliminary taste of the sweetness of being sworn to allegiance, but she did not expect that what she thought was an unbreakable line of defense was just a thin piece of paper.

Xu Chun did not ask the soldiers to follow him into the mansion, but only brought four guards and went directly into the house. "Lord Tang, this official acts according to orders, please forgive me if there is any recklessness." Although he knew that things were difficult to get better, he still had a little politeness, "The emperor dictated, Xuan Tang Zengyuan and his wife went to the Qinzheng Palace." ”

After Tang Zengyuan knelt down and received the oracle, he felt in a trance, he really didn't understand why the emperor's oracle also included his wife. However, when he caught a glimpse of Du's smiling expression, he suddenly realized that this unwarranted disaster had something to do with his wife? In an instant, he saw Du Shi looking extremely painful, and his body shook violently a few times before falling to the ground. This sudden upheaval made Xu Chun and Tang Zengyuan mess up at the same time, and after it was determined that Du Shi committed suicide by taking poison, Tang Zengyuan couldn't help but faint. Now, no matter how wooden he is, he knows that his wife must have done something against him, otherwise why would he have committed suicide by taking poison before the matter is clear.

Although it was dispatched late at night and did not alarm too many people, this strange case still had a profound impact on the court. However, Feng Wuxian weighed it again and again, but did not make a big deal about it, and even let him live after personally interrogating Tang Zengyuan, after all, Tang Zengyuan, who has been in charge of the Hanlin Academy for many years, has a wide range of connections, and once he is really imprisoned for his wife's fault, I am afraid that it will cause a great turmoil. In addition, after searching the Tang Mansion, Xu Chun found a list, and the rest of the texts were destroyed by the two maids of the Du family. Before the war in the northwest was clear, Feng Wuji didn't want to cause additional trouble, so he just kept the list properly and didn't deal with it heavily.

On May 23, the fifteenth year of Yufeng, Tang Zengyuan said goodbye to the old man, and the wind was played without a trace, and he was placed in the suburbs of the capital to raise the village.

On May 25, the fifteenth year of Yufeng, Feng Wuxian seized his title and imprisoned him in the palace on the grounds that Feng Wuhao, the king of the county, handed over the warriors and plotted against him.

On May 30, the fifteenth year of Yufeng, Yin Yangqian of Shuntian Mansion sentenced all the people detained in Shuntian Mansion to exile on the grounds of murdering the officials of the imperial court. After the news came out, Baidao Wulin was shocked, and many families were intimidated by the authority of the imperial court, and they restrained their children one after another to restrain what they did on weekdays. For a time, the so-called chivalry of the folk disappeared. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 39 Take a question
