"Then according to what the prince sees, what punishment should be given to Prince Lu?"

Old Chen on the side spoke in time, a pair of old eyes flashed with wisdom, and when he looked at Chu Nian, there was occasionally a little appreciation in his eyes, or ...... Is it pride?

King Huainan glanced at Chen Lao, then looked sideways, his gaze swept over Wang Er, Wang Er's face suddenly turned white as if he was electrocuted, and his body stood stiffly and upright, seeing this, King Huainan sneered, and said: "This brother can not be said well, Brother Huang, such a corrupt official, even if it is our brother, he should not release water." ”

Prince Lu's life and death King Huainan is naturally uncertain, Yu Gong, he can't take this matter lightly, but for selfishness, if he says some cruel punishment at this moment, I am afraid that the world will say that the Prince of Huainan is too ruthless.

The emperor at the top is naturally the same, not to mention the officials below, no matter how much Prince Lu is a bastard, it is also a relative of the emperor, what should they say about those who work for the royal family?

For a while, there was a whisper in the hall, Chu Nian's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fixed on Ming Xiu's body, at this point, Ming Xiu also seemed to notice Chu Nian's gaze, his face was stunned for a moment, and he hooked the corners of his lips slightly.

At this point, I saw Chen Lao take a step forward and said: "The old minister still has a proposal, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

The discussion of the hundred officials suddenly stopped, and King Huainan and Wang Er both focused their eyes on Chen Lao, and King Huainan had nothing to pay attention to, after all, Prince Lu's ruling was a foregone conclusion, and for them, they just needed someone who could raise the matter.

But Wang Er is different, he is more worried about Prince Lu's life and death, if he simply executes Prince Lu, it is better to say, there is such a big thing as a joint petition at this time, if Prince Lu can live, the affairs of the Wang family will be poked out sooner or later.

Chen Lao glanced at Chu Nian, and saw Chu Nian nodding slightly, then he looked at the emperor at the head of the city, and said righteously: "According to the historical records, when the previous dynasty issued a joint petition, that lord was executed, and it stands to reason that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and since the joint petition has been issued, he should no longer take into account the identity of Prince Lu." ”

This is what Chen Lao, as the secretary and supervisor, dares to say, if it is put on others, I am afraid that I will not have the courage to mention half a word, Chen Lao's qualifications are the oldest in the court, not to mention, even the Wang family has to let three points, or is protected by the king of Huainan, who dares to say one more word?

When Old Chen's voice fell, there was an uproar in the hall, only Chu Nian's face was calm, and the emperor above was also thoughtful.

Immediately afterwards, as if deliberately instigated by someone, hundreds of officials said: "What Lord Chen said is extremely true, Your Majesty, there is no need to think twice, if you don't give the people an explanation, I'm afraid that it will be bad if the people are going to riot." ”

With the knife blocker, naturally no one is taboo anymore, between the hundred officials, Prince Lu has been sentenced to death, the hundred officials helped, the emperor took the case, and Prince Lu was completely powerless.

……

Harem, Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother was lying on top of the soft collapse, her face was getting a little older, and a father-in-law walked in from outside, bowing slightly, "The Queen Mother, the messenger has arrived." ”

When these words fell, the Queen Mother changed her posture and continued to lie on the couch, facing outward, beckoning slightly, "Bring it in." ”

Not long after, a handsome but sturdy young man walked in slowly from outside, and saw the figure of the Queen Mother behind the tulle on the couch, his eyes flashed slightly, and he bowed and said: "The barbarians are idle, I have seen the Queen Mother." ”

The figure behind the tulle didn't move, but the voice came out in a long tone, "Wu Xian? But the second son of General Nawu? Come closer, and take a good look at your face. ”

Wu Xian frowned, but he also took a few steps forward according to his words, his face was still cold, and he walked three steps away from the queen mother's couch before he stopped, lowered his head, and refused to look directly at the enchanting figure in the couch.

The Queen Mother seemed to be a little displeased, but she only sighed and said: "That's it, the mourning family also knows that you young people now dislike us old people, and you refuse to take a step closer." ”

Wu Xian frowned again, the green tendons on his forehead were faintly visible, but he was also patient, and took one more step forward, but this time, he pursed his lips and refused to say a word.

The Queen Mother behind the tulle seemed to laugh lightly, the figure's shoulders trembled a little, and it took a long time before the Queen Mother said slowly: "How long do you plan to play in Daliang this time?" Last time, I left within a few days, and the mourning family also prepared a residence for you in the capital, but you didn't even live for a day. ”

"Don't bother the Queen Mother." Wu Xian bowed again, and his delicate face lowered showed a vague disgust, "Since it is a business matter, it is natural that Weichen can't play every day, this time Weichen came over, but asked the Queen Mother for an explanation." ”

"Oh?" The queen mother behind the tulle seemed to be interested, "What kind of explanation?" ”

Wu Xian glanced sideways at the father-in-law who was standing quietly on the side, his brows furrowed more and more, and the queen mother behind the tulle seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, you mean what happened in the barbarian camp before?" That's no wonder we, it's because there are too few people you sent, and the mourning family hasn't talked to you yet, it's been almost half a year, and Zhen Ninghou and Chen Yueke are still alive and well. ”

Wu Xian's face sank, "Speaking of this." ”

He no longer stood obediently in front of the Queen Mother's couch, but turned around, walked to the side, sat down on the chair unceremoniously, and turned his eyes to look at the Queen Mother on the couch, "Queen Mother, you haven't said in advance that Chen Yue has so many elite soldiers under him, let alone that Chen Yue is so good at the art of war." ”

When these words fell, the figure behind the tulle suddenly sat up, "Is this the fault of the mourning family?" The mourning family thought that the nobles had clashed with Da Liang so many times, and they must know the generals of Da Liang very well, but they didn't expect that you wouldn't even be able to take Zhen Ninghou, so you wouldn't be able to resist it, but with one more Chen Yue, you wouldn't be able to resist it? ”

"You ......"

"Huh?" The tulle was lifted by the father-in-law on the side, revealing the old face of the Queen Mother with three points of annoyance, and the folds on the old face trembled, so that Wu Xian couldn't help but feel a surge in his chest.

After a while, Wu Xian finally held back, and looked at the Queen Mother with a stiff smile and said: "Khan said, if the Queen Mother doesn't give us an explanation, today, we will take a trip for Weichen in vain, but next time, Weichen will not come." ”

The Queen Mother's face loosened a little, she got up and leaned lazily on the edge of the couch, "It seems that Zhen Ninghou has that piece of land, you don't want it." ”

Wu Xian frowned and didn't speak, at this stall, he saw the Queen Mother get up, "Even so, there's nothing to say, young general, please go back, let's go back and talk to Xichu, Xichu is now in civil strife, presumably it is also in great need of some help, if Xichu calms down the civil strife......"

The terrain at the junction of the barbarians and Western Chu is very dangerous, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack for Western Chu, but for the barbarians, it is also extremely difficult for them to defend, so if these two countries want to go to war, the barbarians may have to lose much.

At this moment, Wu Xian couldn't hold his breath, and after a while, he got up and said: "The Queen Mother is a little restless, and when Weichen returns to the Khan, it's not too late to make plans." ”

The Queen Mother hid her old face and chuckled, "Okay, the young general is a smart man." ”

After Wu Xian held back her anger and left, the queen mother's complexion suddenly turned cold, and she turned her gaze to her father-in-law who was standing quietly on the side, "Go find Dark Rin and tell him about the situation of the barbarians." ”

The father-in-law replied in a low voice, turned and left.

……

Prince Lu was scheduled to be beheaded on the third day of his arrival in the capital, and on that day, there were many more people in the capital who had rushed back from Huaibei for thousands of miles, and when Prince Lu was about to be beheaded, the people had already arrived at the execution ground to wait.

For a while, shouting, scolding, and singing the praises of Chu Nian's merits filled the entire capital.

Chu Nian smiled at this, she didn't plan to participate in Prince Lu's beheading, in contrast, she was more curious, Prince Lu's trip was to bring everyone in the palace back, but only he didn't see his adopted son Yurong, and the people who returned said that Yurong had escaped, but some people said that they had seen a good-looking monk at the execution ground.

It should be superficial, in short, it will not be graceful.

When Prince Lu returned to Beijing, he was already skinny, and there were many bruises on his body, and the medicine king said that it was a very strong poison, and the person who was about to die learned that he was going to be sent to the execution ground by his own brother, but he was also calm.

Huaibei was quickly filled with candidates that Ming Xiu had prepared for a long time, and he was originally worried that Huaibei would be overturned by no one to govern him.

Chu Nian didn't care much about these things, but at this moment, she was more concerned about Ming Xiu.

The next day, Ming Xiu was already preparing to go on the road and was going to personally send an envoy to Xichu.

I heard that the prince was so concerned about state affairs, and all the "Qing officials" praised the prince's goodness, which made the emperor's face grow a lot of light, and soon, Ming Xiu's reputation spread throughout Daliang.

Chu Nian had a bad premonition inexplicably in her heart, she didn't agree with Ming Xiu's personal envoy this time, but she couldn't say the reason, so she had to sulk, which made Ming Xiu confused.

On the day when Ming Xiu was about to leave the palace, the secret guards had already prepared everything, and there were only three hundred royal forest troops who followed the crown prince Ming Xiu on the bright side, and in addition, there was a little eunuch and four secret guards who were driven out by Chu Nian.

As soon as he heard that the prince was going out of the palace, the people in the palace and the civil and military officials waited at the city gate early to send off the prince, Ming Xiu sat in the carriage, watching the crowds at the city gate, and even many official women dressed up in a fancy way to attract people's attention, but they couldn't see a single Chu Nian, and they couldn't help but feel a little lost.

The dark three who were waiting on the side saw that Ming Xiu's face was not good, but he didn't dare to comfort him, so he could only stay aside honestly and not say a word.

The carriage didn't come to the outskirts of Beijing until it came to the outskirts of Beijing, and Ming Xiu couldn't see the figure of expectation, and he was depressed in his heart, but when he thought about it, since he missed that person in his heart, he would come back early, otherwise, he was afraid that the person would be awkward and make a lot of trouble, and it would be difficult to deal with it at that time.

Soon, Ming Xiu's mood improved, and when his face was soothing, he was so aggrieved that he wanted to get out of the car and replace the dark one, and he took a breath.

At this stall, the dark three dared to come up.

"Your Highness is unhappy because of the lady?"

Ming Xiu glanced at him, his thin lips pursed and he didn't speak, and at this time, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the carriage stopped abruptly.

Sensing that something was wrong, Ming Xiu frowned slightly, and the dark three on the side suddenly became vigilant, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and cautiously glanced outside.

"Your Highness, it's not good, everyone is down! There must be an Assassin! ”
