Chapter 131: Amorous Scholar

In Gao's mansion, Gao Huaiyuan hugged the concubine, ate the oranges handed by the concubine, and consciously tapped his fingers on the chair with the music.

"My lord, since you left, Pan Shilang went to the house of the former father-in-law, and the two didn't know what to talk about, and they left the house two hours later." Someone to report.

"Got it, you go down!" Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand.

Although it was an eventful time for the DPRK, it did not dare to besiege Kyoto easily, and did not even want to touch the edge, thinking that the current military strength of the rebels was simply not enough to resist Jingwei. Jiang Jia, the leader of the rebel army and the grandson of the former general Zhenbei, contacted him through some channel, asking him to help transport a batch of illicit salt, and sent gold and silver treasures as fixed funds.

Gao Huaiyuan doesn't know when the other party will make an incident, and he doesn't know what the other party wants to be in the future, as long as it doesn't involve his own interests, he will treat it as if nothing happened. Mr. is right, once you have power in your hands, ambition will follow, and only by standing at the pinnacle of power can you look up to everything in the world and play with people up and down.

Before the second heavy snowfall of winter, Pan Jing improved a new type of chariot to recapture the fallen lands. One after another, the rebels abandoned the city and retreated until the edge of the dynasty. The court and the central government have had a good year.

In the rainy summer of the following year, the rebels made a comeback, once again attacked the city and seized the land, formed a confrontation with the DPRK and China, and broke Pan Jing's improved chariot technique. The court also ordered him to improve other equipment to retreat from the enemy, and at the same time recruit a large number of troops to send them to the front line.

Pan Jing has almost no leisure time except for eating and sleeping. At the beginning of the year, His Majesty had decreed that merchants were strictly forbidden to provide any financial assistance to the rebels, and if they were discovered, they would be severely punished, and where would the rebels get their food, grass, and elaborate weapons. He didn't have time to think about these things at all, he ran two ends every day, and while asking for advice, he came back to study and propose the key points of improvement, and let the people below toss it.

Pan Jing's improvement technique brought great inconvenience to Jiang Jia, who was originally able to win the emperor by following the trend of heaven this summer, but retreated again and again, and retreated to his base camp in the northwest. However, the imperial court can't support it for long, the people have no food and clothing, and the adult men in the family have no return, and it is a matter of time before they resist.

Jiang Jia paid close attention to the personnel changes in the court, and all the information about Pan Jing was already present to him. Such an inconspicuous little person actually gave him a fatal blow and had to be removed. He remembered being told that he had two sisters who were distant or close relatives who had been with him for a while.

"Lord, everything was arranged from the beginning. I didn't think it would be useful for a day, but now it finally comes in handy. I think now is the best time to take Kyoto in one fell swoop. "This person is in charge of the day-to-day activities of all the hidden piles laid and issues tasks to them, one of Jiang Jia's most important advisors, Qi Yun.

"I'll leave this matter to you, remember to do it beautifully." Qi Yun took the order and left.

I don't know when, there are more rumors about Pan Jing outside, saying that he is the internal response of the army. The purpose of his improvement was to let the DPRK relax its vigilance against the judgment army, and when the DPRK and China were relaxed, it was the time when the rebels attacked the capital, and the earlier judgment army was just cooperating and making a show. The rumors have noses and eyes, and the worried ministers of the DPRK and China jointly wrote a letter asking His Majesty to order a thorough investigation of Pan Jing.

Pan Jing worked well, but he was directly taken away by the Criminal Department and put in prison, and then he was interrogated day and night. Not only him, but most of the participants in the Ministry of Industry were also imprisoned.

His classmates, friends, teachers, and neighbors were all secretly interrogated. Some people couldn't stand the punishment, so they told Pan Jing everything from childhood to adulthood, including who he met and what he said.

According to the confessions of his relatives and friends, the Criminal Department found out the identities of Liu Meier and Qian Su, and it turned out that the two daughters were all descendants of former traitors. Those who did not believe in gossip also believed seven or eight points.

In the early dynasty, in the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials were there, and Pan Jing knelt down in prison clothes.

The criminal department Shangshu counted the evidence of Pan Jing's crimes, and at the end, asked him: "Pan Jing, you are a scholar in vain, but you ignore Your Majesty's righteousness, but you recognize the thief as the master, and you are in vain Your Majesty's cultivation intention." Do you have anything to say? ”

"The heavens are a lesson for example, the minister has never done anything treacherous, let alone the heart of the two masters. And these rumors did not come sooner or later, but they only spread after the ministers improved the chariot and His Majesty recovered the lost territory, which shows that his intention is to divide the hearts of the monarch and the ministers, so that His Majesty will fall into a faint monarch who cannot tolerate the talents of the ministers. Pan Jing swore to the sky.

"Bold, dare to scold Your Majesty for being a faint king. I see that you scolded Your Majesty a lot behind your back, right? The official secretary came out and scolded him.

"Your Majesty, the minister has made a mistake, but the minister has no second heart, I hope Your Majesty will make a clear decision." Pan Jing kowtowed, this level is not enough, that is, when the Pan family collapsed, it was like returning to the scene of intercession for his father-in-law, but the candidate was replaced by him.

"Pan Qing, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't dare to believe you. The spearhead of everything is pointed at you, how can you argue? The old emperor sat on the top, his voice majestic and helpless.

"Liu Mei'er, the minister doesn't know her identity, and he doesn't know what task she has, but she is a weak woman, which makes the minister have pity and wants to put her in the minister's backyard. As for Aunt Qian, the minister thought that she was the daughter of a merchant and a businessman who pursued profits, and when he saw that the minister was an official, he gave her to the minister as a gift. ...... The rest of the things are known to the ministers, and they have no dealings with the thief leader. ......”

Pan Jing's self-defense obviously did not impress everyone, and in the end, the people of the criminal department found another thing in his room, a bloody strip of cloth, and presented it to the emperor on the spot.

I don't know how they found this thing in secret. Pan Jing knew that his death was approaching, and his family and relatives were among them. I regret only how I didn't burn it then, but now I have left a disaster for myself.

Sure enough, the emperor at the top slapped the dragon chair and rushed out angrily, "Immediately pull him to behead him and raze the ten clans." No one shall intercede. ”

Pan Jingmian was dragged down by the guards as if he were dead. Liu Meier, you really hurt me! Suddenly, he remembered what a fairy said to him when he first left the house that day, 'Don't be confused by beauty, in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty, harming yourself and affecting your family.' He was just taunting him, not wanting it to be a reminder to him.

"Childe, what's wrong with you?" Pan Jing came back to his senses, looked at the two clean stone lions in front of the mansion, and was confused. Isn't he dead, how did he come back? His figure is still the same as when he was young, and he has not been fat. The two scholars also looked like they were when they were young, and they haven't changed at all. Look around, everything is the way it used to be. He screamed and rushed into the house to see his father.

The two scholars invariably thought about whether Childe was crazy, he had just left the house and stood at the door for most of the day without moving, but now that he moved, he shouted back to the house.

Pan Jing is crazy or not, he doesn't know, he just knows that his parents and relatives are still there. The joy of regaining it is too important to him, what Liu Meier, Zhang Meier's, don't come to harm him again.
