Chapter 168: The General's Disappearance 1
In the early hours of the morning, the palace of diligence.
Gonggong Liu was still on duty, and entered the Qinzheng Hall with a secret report: "Your Majesty, the military report of the Northern Front." β
The emperor took a sip of refreshing tea, took a look at the military newspaper, and was a little relieved, the military newspaper said that although there was a small disturbance on the northern front, there was no major change, and the soldiers of our army were still vigilant.
Seeing that the emperor's face had eased a little, Gonggong Liu leaned closer to the other party and whispered: "Lord Yuan has been captured, and now he is in the prison." β
"Humph! A swarm of moths! After scolding, the emperor said, "Spread the king of Yi'an!" β
Father-in-law Liu: "Yes! β
Qi Ming and Yan Mo returned to Yanming Courtyard, and as soon as they changed their clothes, they heard Qiu Bolai report that someone from the palace had come.
When Qi Ming came to the Qinzheng Palace, the sky was already glowing with a faint blue light, waiting for the rising sun.
"Son-in-law, see father."
Emperor: "What the hell is going on?" β
"Father." Qi Ming did not stand up, but pleaded guilty, "When Erchen infiltrated the Criminal Department, he saw three swordsmen kill Zhao Qing, Erchen is guilty, and he didn't catch those three swordsmen!" β
The emperor's brows furrowed even deeper: "In your opinion, Yuan Shangshu is the mastermind behind the scenes?" β
Qi Ming: "In the opinion of the ministers, Lord Yuan is likely to be taken advantage of, and he asked his father to interrogate Yuan Shangshu well." β
The emperor thought for a moment and sighed lightly: "I know about Jiang Ernu's matter, Jiang Yan asked for his resignation, and I asked him to go to Jiangnan to inspect, this matter is over." Can Zhao Qing's identity be clarified? β
Qi Ming: "Zhao Qing and Li Hannai are mixed-race children of Beishuo and the Central Plains, and they have been lurking in Beijing for a long time by using their similar appearances to the Central Plains. β
"......," the emperor understood, "I didn't expect it to be a half-blood..."
Qi Ming: "Father, both of these sisters and brothers are dead, and there is no witness, so they have lost the reason for the war, Beishuo..."
The emperor raised his hand and said, "You don't care about the military aircraft, the matter is over, you should also take it." β
"......," Qi Ming paused, and then said, "Yes, father, the son will remove the eyeliner placed in the criminal department as soon as possible." However, there is another thing, the murderer who killed Li Han has not been found, and Erchen suspects that the murderer and the three musketeers may be a group of people, behind them..."
"It's not uncommon for a fine worker to fight each other for merit and cannibalism," the emperor interrupted, "and the death of a fine worker is not important. Now that the northern front is in turmoil, it is the big thing at hand! Alright, your mission is complete, let's go back! β
Qi Ming collected what he wanted to say in his heart, lowered his eyes and muttered for a moment, and retreated without waves on his face. When he left the Qinzheng Palace, his steps involuntarily slowed down... The usual light smile failed to go online, and hid in a line of warm colors lit up in the sky... After a few steps, his feet were fast again, he wanted to go home quickly, and when he thought of Yan Mo, the corners of his tense mouth would involuntarily loosen again...
In the other corner of the palace, the warm light has not yet been blessed, and the cold fence exudes a chill in the early morning temperature...
After the depressed Yuan Xiao entered the cell, he felt that he couldn't get his ass anywhere... He barely chose a fairly flat place and slept for a while, until the sunlight finally drove away the cold of the cell, and he did not sleep, so he had to get up and pac. I don't want him to get up and raise his eyes to glance, and his heart is even heavier!!
His own cell is called a crude and shabby, and then look at the opposite door! In the sunlight, the opposite cell is simply resplendent in gold!! Everywhere glows with gold!!
That's right! On the opposite side is the "living" of Major General Jin Mouton, who came in a few days ago to recuperate!!
Yuan Xiao looked at the luxurious cell opposite, and then looked at his... Oops! It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!!
Seeing Major General Jin get up, the grumpy Yuan Xiao suddenly changed his mind, came to the fence and said with a smile: "I heard that the silk in the embroidery workshop is very good, the color is gorgeous, and the pattern is novel, can the major general have a good appreciation?!" "The implication is that I entrusted someone to give me those fine silks!
βοΌοΌοΌβ Jin Mouton just got up, still awake, squinting at each other... Not long after he came to Beijing, several central officials were not familiar with each other! How do you know who's talking in the cell opposite?! Not to mention, you have to know what that means inside!! So all he responded to was an inexplicable silence...
When Qi Ming returned to the palace, the sky was already bright, Yan Mo just took a nap, and then practiced his sword in the courtyard with Cang Weeping.
"Concubine Ai was so tired yesterday, why didn't she get a good night's sleep?" Qi Ming smiled lightly.
"It's you who is more tired than me, but you, the prince! It's also you who should sleep! Yan Mo's tone was not good, and he teased.
Mama Yin got up and came to Yanming Courtyard, just when she heard this conversation, she couldn't hide an aunt's smile.
"Slaves and maids see the prince and princess."
Yan Mo: "Mama Yin, you came just in time." Last time, I promised those official ladies to find a lover for them. Now that the matter is clear, I have to give them an explanation, you see, how to arrange it? β
Mama Yin asked: "Lord Wang, the slave maid sees that the vigilance in the house has not disappeared, this woman's banquet..."
"If the princess wants to do it, how can this king stop it?" Qi Ming stared at Yan Mo and said with a smile, "The women's banquet is still set up in the front hall, and the concubine can do whatever she wants~"
"Yes." Mama Yin glanced at the princess who was looking at the princess with white eyes, and replied with a smile, "The slave is going to find Uncle Qiu and prepare to go." β
Yan Mo retracted his eyes and followed Mama Yin...
After seeing the princess disappear, Lu Jiucai stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, do the Three Musketeers still need to continue to investigate?" β
Qi Ming still looked at the empty courtyard gate, and his tone was slightly weak: "You don't need to check, so as not to worry about my father." The house is still on alert, let the guards hide their figures, and don't let the outside show clues! β
Lu Jiu: "Yes! β
At the afternoon tea banquet, the official ladies gathered again in the Yi'an Palace, and Yan Mo met with the ladies alone.
"Miss Xu, take a closer look, is he your lover?" Yan Mo asked, pointing to a wooden embryonic mold.
"How could it be..."Miss Xu couldn't believe it, "could it be a wooden man?" β
Yan Mo: "This person is scheming and good at disguise, this is just one of his thousands of faces." He has deceived many people, Miss Xu should not be sad, this person is not worth it. β
Miss Xu covered her heart, took a few deep breaths before calming down: "Princess Xie has solved the confusion in the little girl's heart!" In this way, it is finally possible to let go..."
Yan Mo smiled: "Miss Xu is polite. β
A few people came down, and the ladies thanked them again and again, and finally understood that they had given their hearts to the wrong person, and they could take it back!
Until... Miss Bai appeared and twisted in front of Yan Mo: "Actually... The princess, the little woman's lover is the third little son of the Deng family... The little woman didn't dare to say it directly that day... He was originally in love with me, but as soon as Miss Su from Mengxianglou appeared, he shook his hand and refused to admit it! The little woman is bitter in her heart..."Then she sought death and life, crying, "Miss Su is just a girl in a green building!" The little girl can't be compared! Deng Sangongzi relied on his good family background and handsome appearance, so he took me to death! I don't feel sad... Woooooooo
"......." Yan Mo was slightly surprised, and the corners of his mouth twitched! There are still people who have encountered someone who is not Li Han!!
Qi Yun and Lan Bo, who were standing on both sides of Yan Mo, supported their foreheads one after another, and said in their hearts, it is all something you love and I want, and it is difficult for Qing officials to break the relationship! The big boss is no exception! What can I do?!!
Truly... Yan Mo twisted his eyebrows and meditated for a while... Bite! I have a plan in my heart!!
After a while, a tall figure appeared in the streamer outside the house...
A startled white shadow lovesickness.
The east is warm and jade, like a moon wheel.
The smile was a little deeper.
How can the scenery under the eyes be restored.
Miss Bai, who couldn't stop crying, was blown by the charm of the visitor!! The immediately empathized with him, feeling that he was blind before, and Deng Gongzi's handsomeness was vulnerable!! This is the peerless beauty of the man!!
Qi Ming, who entered the house, rolled his eyes slightly, smiled lightly, and bowed his head to Miss Bai to show politeness.
Miss Bai: "Oops~ What should I do... The little woman is sick with lovesickness..."
Yan Mo smiled: "Do you still want that Deng Gongzi?" β
Miss Bai blushed and writhed, "No, no, no!" The prince is the real one with outstanding style... How can Deng Gongzi compare~" After that, he peeked at it several times~ I was embarrassed to trot out!!
Seeing that the young ladies were leaving one after another, Qi Ming let go of his smile and said with an unhappy face: "You let this king come for this purpose?" β
Yan Mo smiled slightly: "People! After eating delicious food, I can't swallow ordinary food! You should save one more white girl! β
"......" Qi Ming stared at each other unhappily... Then he laughed again, "In this way, Concubine Ai has tasted the charm of this king, and she can't swallow others~" After that, he chuckled and slammed the hearts of others!
A slap in the eye and a cold light! Secretly launch! I don't want them all to be drowned in the confident smile of King Yi'an!!
After a moment's pause, Yan Mo continued to launch a fierce gaze! They swished and were engulfed in the lightsphere again!!
The expressions of the two people competing are very different, and they are getting bigger and bigger! One is extremely unpleasant!! One is smiling like a flower!!
Qi Yun looked at the two people who were secretly competing, and their faces became mixed...
When everyone returned to Yanming Courtyard, King Yi'an had to deal with official business and returned to the side house, leaving only Yan Mo, Qi Yun and Lan Bo in the main house.
Lan Bo regretted: "These young ladies just live in a simple place, and they see too few men, so they are easy to fall into love..."
Yan Mo: "You can't blame them!" Including Shen Xiaogongzi, after all, Li Han's sisters and brothers have good genes and are born with good bones, and it is not difficult to look good at Yi Rongcheng! In short, it's all genes to blame! β
"Huh? What is Fundamental Tone? Qi Yun and Lan Bo asked at the same time.
"Hmm..."Yan Mo thought for a while and said, "It's Mr. Qi, your father and mother are not good-looking, so you are not good-looking either!" β
βοΌβ Qi Yun got angry, and said narcissistically with his fingers to support his not too big eyes, "Where can I find a beautiful man like me?!" β
Lan Bo and Yan Mo both snickered contemptuously!
Lan Bo smiled: "What the princess said, isn't it genetic. Then he sighed lightly and said, "No matter what, the marriage fraud case is finally over..."
"Is it really over?" Qi Yun still supported his eyes with his hands, tilted his head and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that the prince is also to the big boss..." Because the momentum of the big boss on the opposite side is too scary!! He had no choice but to honestly put down his hand and smile to ease the atmosphere... Muttered, "It's over, it's over!" β
Yan Mo's face is not a taste! Fiercely white each other!!
Early the next morning, the palace with the carved walls of Junyu was shrouded in a serious atmosphere!
In the court, the ministers learned that Yuan Shangshu was imprisoned because of the old defense map, and they all participated in Yuan Xiao's various misdeeds! Take the opportunity to fall into the ground!! The emperor was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet!!
"Erchen also has this participatory." The prince saluted and said, "Yuan Shangshu instigated his subordinates to handle the matter of the untouchable household registration in a hurry, resulting in a large number of unjust people being displaced and losing their land!" Here's the proof. β
The prime minister also presented the evidence in his hand when he saw the opportunity: "This is the evidence that Yuan Shangshu sold the official mantle collected by the old minister over the years, and most of the positions sold are official positions in the household department. β
"The connection to the Gyeonggi defense map! All of them will be arraigned in court! Bring Yuan Xiao up!! The Emperor said angrily!!
After the prince returned to the throne, he searched around, and found that Yun Shikang, who was standing at the end, did not move at all, and now is the best time to impeach Yuan Xiao, but Yun Changshi still did not move...
"See Your Majesty!" As soon as Yuan Xiao arrived outside the gate of the Xuxiong Palace, he knelt down and shouted with a look of repentance, "The minister is guilty but he will die!" Your Majesty is angry!! If it's for the sake of being angry, the dragon body is bad! The sin of the minister is heavier than the highest mountain!! Deeper than the darkest and bottomless Haihe River!! As he spoke, he shed tears sincerely!! Climb to the front of the stairs!!
Those ministers who participated in Yuan Shangshu all showed more or less disdain!!
"Tell me for yourself! What are you guilty of?! The emperor said coldly!
"Sinners have eyes! Greedy for vanity!! Mistrusting others!! Yuan Xiao said bitterly, "Three months ago, these three swordsmen came to the Mansion of the Sinner, brought a scroll of paintings and said it was a gift, and wanted to take refuge in my door and be a gatekeeper... The sinner really didn't know that the painting was hiding such a big secret!! Some time ago, these three people said goodbye! The sinners didn't expect them to be meticulous!! β
Because the deeds of the Three Musketeers were revealed, Qian Yishou temporarily cleared his suspicion, and he was summoned by the emperor to the Xuxiong Palace to discuss politics when he couldn't get out of the barracks.
"Why did the thief give you the fake defense map to Yuan Shangshu?" Qian Yishou opened his mouth, still wondering in his heart, how did the defense map five years ago fall out?
"Your Majesty." Yun Shikang spoke out at the right time, and respectfully bowed out of the ranks, "Weichen has a bold conjecture, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. β
Emperor: "Speak!" β
"Your Majesty, Zhao Qing stole the Gyeonggi defense map, and the three musketeers also gave the Gyeonggi defense map, and these two groups of people are likely to be in the same group originally! They must have been lurking in Beijing for many years, walking all over the streets and alleys of the capital, witnessing the distribution of garrisons, silently noting down and then drawing! Then quietly send the picture to Yuan Shangshu! In order to cause civil strife between the DPRK and China! Yun Shikang's tone was sincere, and he pleaded, "Now that the northern front is about to move, this is the enemy's plan to kill two birds with one stone!" No! It should be said that it is a plan to kill three birds with one stone! Fortunately, Shen Shangshu is smart and uses fake drawings to prevent thieves! There is no leakage in Gyeonggi armament! At this time, Zhao Qing only needs to push everything on Shen Shangshu's head! Whether it was said that the picture was true, or Shen Shangshu gave it, or Shen Xiaogongzi helped steal it from it, it was all to arouse His Majesty's suspicion! What's more, as soon as Zhao Qing died, there was no proof of death! The household department and the military department are all implicated, and for a while, the court will be chaotic!! The foreigners have an opportunity to take advantage of the danger!! β
"......" When the prince heard this, his gaze at Yun Shikang became more and more complicated...
When Yuan Shangshu heard this, he looked back at Yun Shikang very gratefully! What a lifesaver!!
The emperor pondered for a while and said, "What Yun Aiqing said... Not without reason. β
Yun Shikang saw that the situation was good, and continued: "Shen Shangshu has always been loyal, why did something happen at this juncture, Weichen felt that Zhao Qing's confession was very suspicious! What's more, Shen Shangshu can personally tie up the Xuxiong Palace to ask for guilt on Shen Xiaogongzi's single seedling! It can be seen that he acts uprightly! If it was premeditated, he would definitely hide his son far away first, and then do something unspeakable!! In case it is revealed, my son's life can always be saved! The incense of the Shen family can continue!! β
After hearing this, the emperor felt even more reasonable, nodded and said: "This matter is indeed a bit wronged Shen Aiqing... Wu Shangshu, what do you think? β
Wu Zhao was named, so he had to stand up and salute: "Your Majesty, you have always been cunning, and what you say is a mixed bag. Weichen also felt that Shen Shangshu was wronged, this must be a trick! β
Hong Shangshu saw that the atmosphere had eased a little, and he also said warmly: "Your Majesty, Shen Xiaogongzi is still young and ignorant, which is the best goal of the meticulous workers. β
The emperor pretended to be moved, pondered for a moment, and said earnestly: "Someone, pass the order!" The Shen father and son were released, and Shen Shangguan was reinstated, and he was meritorious in guarding the Gyeonggi defense map, and he was rewarded with a sword. Although Shen Xiaogongzi has been, thinking that he is young and naΓ―ve, he has been grounded in the mansion for two months! β
"Your Majestyβ" The ministers of the admonition shouted in unison!
Seeing this, Yuan Shangshu was even more hopeful in his heart, lowered his eyes and said nothing, waiting for the opportunity, as long as someone came out to say something, maybe he could get rid of his crime and regain his freedom!
Yun Shikang rolled his eyes, walked to Yuan Shangshu's side and asked again: "Your Majesty, now is the time to employ people, it's better to..."
"Your Majestyβ" The ministers who impeached Yuan Xiao took the lead and knelt down to petition one after another, "Yuan Shangshu has a bad record! Please investigate thoroughly!! "Some people, after all, even glanced at the long history in a very unfriendly way!
"Weichen also implores Lord Yuan to investigate thoroughly!" To everyone's surprise, Yun Shikang also knelt down and petitioned, "It's just that now is the time to employ people, so it's better to put Lord Yuan in prison pending trial first!" "Speak very sincerely! Humility and piety!!
At present, the war on the northern front will ignite at any time, and the emperor is powerless to investigate Yuan Xiao.
Everyone who was standing and kneeling looked back!!
"Newspaper - Emergency Military Intelligence !! The war began on the Northern Front!! β
