After waiting for three hours, his legs were weak and his throat was smoking, and Xia Yanxiu was passed on by Emperor Yuanqing.

It was still a little eunuch who came out and shouted: "Lord Xia Xiang, the emperor let you in." ”

Xia Yanxiu was shocked, stepped forward in a hurry, and finally entered the imperial study.

As soon as he entered, Xia Yanxiu found that Emperor Yuanqing was not alone in the imperial study. Not only Gonggong Lu is here, but even the Ninth Prince Lan Beichen, Xiaoyao Hou Jichang, as well as Cabinet University Scholar Zuo Donghan, and the Fifth Prince Lan Muxuan are all there.

"See the emperor...... "As a last resort, Xia Yanxiu still saluted first and knelt on the ground.

For a long time, Emperor Yuanqing didn't let him get up, but said: "I heard that Xia Xiang entered the palace yesterday and wanted to see me?" What is the point of coming again today? ”

Xia Yanxiu's words full of stomach rushed to his mouth, but in front of so many people, where was it good to say it?

"This, the emperor...... Wechen has something important, but he ......" he swallowed and vomited.

If it was usual, Emperor Yuanqing naturally understood that he had private matters and would retreat from others, but now Emperor Yuanqing didn't even look at him, his eyes kept falling on the documents on the imperial case, and he said unhurriedly: "Hasn't Xia Xiang thought about what to say?" Then go back and come back when you've thought about it. ”

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, Wechen has thought about it!"

As soon as he heard Emperor Yuanqing's tone, Xia Yan's soul was about to fly, and he didn't care that anyone was there, so he hurriedly said: "Weichen asked to see the emperor, because he had something to ask for." The emperor gave marriage to the prime minister's mansion and married the little girl Ruxue to the eldest prince, but Weichen knew that the little girl was actually ...... Actually, I don't like the eldest prince. Weichen was courageous, for the happiness of the little girl, and begged the emperor to cancel the marriage. ”

Emperor Yuanqing finally raised his eyes, and let out a deep 'um', and his tone was long, as if a knife had slashed through Xia Yanxiu's heart, and he was shocked and kowtowed directly: "The emperor forgives his sins!" The emperor forgives the sins! The emperor gave the little girl a marriage, which was her blessing, but the little girl was stubborn and unwilling to marry, and Weichen had already punished her. The little girl was forced to die, and Weichen was really helpless, so he could only enter the palace and beg the emperor to take back his fate. ”

Knock knock, he said as he kowtowed desperately, and suddenly a green bag was raised.

According to what he meant, it wasn't that he was unwilling, but because the eldest prince had committed something, the prime minister took the initiative to draw a line with the eldest prince, saying that it had nothing to do with this matter. The emperor is wise and wise, and he must know what he means.

"Really?" But Emperor Yuanqing only said two words, and he was silent.

Xiaoyao Hou Jichang's voice sounded: "Xia Xiang said this, I'm afraid there is a problem, right?" How did the old man hear that your second daughter is infatuated with the eldest prince, so he won't marry? Before the emperor gave you a marriage, you were very unhappy, everyone only congratulated you a few days ago, aren't you also happy? ”

This dead old man has fallen into a well! Xia Yanxiu immediately reacted.

"Xiaoyaohou, the old man's family affairs, isn't the old man better than you? Ruxue didn't say it before, and the old man didn't know it, but now that he knows, he naturally has to make decisions for the happiness of his children. After Xia Yanxiu finished speaking, he bowed deeply again: "I beg the emperor to withdraw this family business for the sake of Weichen's love for his daughter?" ”

Xiaoyao Hou Jichang not only shut up,

Instead, he laughed: "Xia Xiang keeps saying that he loves his daughter, I'm afraid he wants to force your daughter to death, right?" Your daughter is already pregnant with the eldest prince's child, and you still let the emperor withdraw from the marriage, do you want your grandson to come out without a father in his lifetime? ”

Emperor Yuanqing was suddenly furious: "Presumptuous! Xia Yanxiu, do you dare to fool me? ”

It was as if a thunderbolt struck his head, Xia Yanxiu was cold, miserable, everyone who spread this thing knew about it.

"The Emperor forgives ...... sins"

"Xia Yanxiu, you have no way to teach your daughter, you are pregnant before marriage, and now you still want to force your daughter to death? The eldest prince is in prison, but he didn't die for a day, and your daughter will be the future princess in one day! This marriage will not be revoked, after this case is concluded, you can handle the marriage for your daughter! With a snap, Emperor Yuanqing grabbed the paperweight and smashed it hard, like thunder.

"Xia Xiang, what about the emperor's guarantee of your daughter's marriage, don't you thank you?" Zuo Donghan reminded him.

"Thank you...... Emperor Xie. "Xia Yan's cultivation heart is like ashes, like a mourning examiner, so he can only retreat in a gloomy manner.

As if he had seen the future of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Yanxiu left the imperial study in despair, and he didn't know how to get home.

He only had one feeling, it's over, it's all over!

……

This time the beauty drunk case, Emperor Yuanqing was all in a big rage and ordered a thorough investigation.

Within three days, as many as 56 officials involved in the incident were arrested, all of whom were controlled by Lan Jingcheng and did evil for him. Although most of the people were involuntarily self-conscious, because of their evil deeds and unforgivable crimes, the twelve people who were finally sentenced to death were confiscated of their family property and their families were exiled.

The rest of the offenders who committed minor crimes and had the intention of repenting were to be revoked from their official positions, demoted from the capital, and sent to the most remote places to suffer. More than a dozen other people, who made meritorious contributions, confessed to Lan Jingcheng's actions, and also confessed to many other crimes.

This group of officials, the rank of general, will be retained to be determined, depending on their performance.

The government and the opposition were shaken, and the ministers were panicked, for fear that the emperor would kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, so as to make trouble.

But what everyone is most concerned about is the ending of the eldest prince Lan Jingcheng.

"Lao Jiu, you say, what should I do?"

Where no one was, only Emperor Yuanqing and Lan Beichen, even Gonggong Lu waited carefully on the side, and did not dare to disturb.

Without the majesty and solemnity in front of people, Emperor Yuanqing at this time was just a father who was sad about his children's problems. As an emperor, the world only sees his scenery, but cannot see the pain and helplessness in his heart.

"The queen knelt for two days, begging me to pardon him, but I didn't see her, and the queen couldn't kneel, and was seriously ill and bedridden. Even the Queen Mother ......" This is the most difficult question for Emperor Yuanqing: "You say, if the Queen Mother is also sick, won't I give up?" ”

Lan Beichen's eyes were dark, and he only asked: "The emperor doesn't want to see the Queen Mother have an accident, it's normal for people." The minister asked the emperor, if Lan Jingcheng is executed, does the emperor plan to make a prince? ”

If it is a crown prince, then there is only the son of the jade concubine, the second prince Lan Hongzhuo.

But Emperor Yuanqing shook his head: "This matter is not in a hurry, although Hongzhuo is a little clever, but he is too calm, he is so happy, and he is not a prince yet." As for the old five

, I admired him a lot, but he didn't care about government affairs, he just liked to make money! The sixth is even more unsuccessful, so I'll observe it for a while. ”

"That's okay, if the boss is severely punished, the ministers will naturally think that it is the second child, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the emperor will have a headache again. Since the queen and the queen mother just want him to be safe, the emperor will take a step back, and everyone will be happy. ”

"You mean?" Emperor Yuanqing looked at Lan Beichen.

"Weichen didn't say anything, it was all up to the emperor." Lan Beichen said lightly.

Emperor Yuanqing waved his hand and said helplessly: "Okay, I know that you don't want to do much, after all, you promised the Queen Mother at the beginning...... Okay, I got it. ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

It was still the ninth prince who spoke well, which not only solved the emperor's problems, but also reassured the queen mother, and also checked and balanced the two princes and shocked the ministers...... The Nine Princes are really clever!

"By the way, the antidote to this beauty's drunkenness was prepared by that girl, right? She has done a great job, and I will reward her. ”

Lan Beichen showed a smile at this time, and his tone was a little closer: "What does the imperial brother plan to appreciate?" ”

Emperor Yuanqing simply put aside his burden: "You have it!" Anyway, it's your daughter-in-law, I will reward whatever you say. ”

"Isn't the mansion of the Marquis of Huining sealed? I heard that the repair is very good. ”

"You kid has a big heart!"

Emperor Yuanqing understood at once, and scolded with a smile: "The Marquis of Huining is the queen's family, his house is still repaired by the previous dynasty, and it has been renovated in the past few years, so you have taken a fancy to it and want to please your daughter-in-law?" ”

Lan Beichen said lightly: "My own woman, not only to give her the best, but also to spoil her." If the imperial brother had learned from me, you and the real concubine would not be like this today. ”

Speaking of the true concubine, Emperor Yuanqing suddenly lost his spirit, and said with his sleeves brushed: "Okay, okay, I have my own measure." ”

"Brother Xie Huang, the younger brother is gone."

……

As soon as Xia Yanxiu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the whole person was gloomy and terrifying.

He already knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion had been completely tied to the eldest prince and could no longer be separated. The emperor does not revoke the marriage, and the dissatisfaction with the eldest prince will also affect him, once he also wanted to use the eldest prince to further the glory of the prime minister's mansion, who knows, one wrong step, one wrong step!

There is no way to change it, Xia Yanxiu is also dead, the marriage between Xia Ruxue and the eldest prince is imperative, as for when, only wait for the case to be concluded.

Zhao wanted to ask Xia Yanxiu what the result was, but Xia Yanxiu didn't say anything, only said that the marriage was as usual. The Zhao family was relieved, but they were also panicked, the eldest prince was in prison, how could he get married?

After a few more days, the news finally came out again, and the eldest prince was released.

"I knew that the eldest prince would be safe!" Xia Ruxue cried with joy, and her illness was cured without medicine, "Mother, the eldest prince is fine, God has eyes!" ”

"Great, great! The eldest prince was really wronged, and it must have been the emperor who found out the truth, so he released the eldest prince! Those who framed the eldest prince were beheaded one by one, and I heard that more than a dozen officials were killed at the entrance of the vegetable market

, the ground is stained red with blood! Zhao also listened to what the housekeeper said, she was a woman, and she didn't dare to look at it, but she listened to it with enthusiasm.

Xia Mengyao also breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that she had been frightened in vain these days, which was really boring.

"That's good, second sister, you can still marry the eldest prince, are you happy now?" She said sourly, it turned out to be a false alarm.

Xia Ruxue and Zhao's words are like a sentence to me, as if the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, the peaks and loops are turning, and I can't help myself with excitement.

Zhao suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Master, you seem to be unhappy?" Isn't the eldest prince fine, Ruxue can still marry the eldest prince, why are you gloomy and don't say a word? ”

"What else does the old man have to say, isn't this exactly what you want?" Xia Yanxiu didn't laugh at all, and he didn't even want to speak.

The eldest prince was released, but he knew more, and now the eldest prince is only a false name, and all official duties have been dismissed by the emperor. If it weren't for the queen and the queen mother interceding with the eldest prince, the emperor would have been determined to kill him this time.

A person who has the name of a prince has no rights, and the prime minister marries such a person, what else can he get besides being dragged down? But this is already the best ending, Xia Yanxiu understands that everything is the consequence of his insistence on marrying Xia Ruxue to the eldest prince.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is now in this disaster, if he is not careful, he is afraid that he will be killed by the eldest prince!

"Tomorrow is the day of marriage, the emperor said, everything is as usual, you wait to get married." After Xia Yanxiu finished speaking gloomily, he ignored the astonishment of the Zhao family's mother and daughter, turned around and walked out.

Xia Ruxue was stunned and didn't understand: "Mother, father is saying that tomorrow will ...... Daughters get married? ”

Xia Mengyao said quickly: "Didn't the eldest prince just be released, why will it be the same tomorrow?" Shouldn't you pick another day? ”

Zhao didn't understand either, but she always felt that there were many dreams at night, and since the emperor agreed, the sooner the better.
