The atmosphere in the imperial study has been extremely tense since the emperor ordered everyone to kneel......

"Wu Aiqing, tell me first, why have you been hiding this matter from me for so long?"

"And you, the prince, the princess, how do you explain this?"

The emperor looked at all the Aiqing, and the mood at this time was the most heart-wrenching moment in history, he never thought that such a serious bullying would happen to his most distressed Aiqing.

Xiangguo saw that the emperor didn't name him, so he didn't know what was going on? But since the emperor asked him to kneel, how could he not kneel?

Wei Xiangguo came to see the emperor alone, but his wife always felt that something was happening, so she also came over and waited outside the room.

"Emperor Mingjian, Emperor Mingjian!" Several people said in unison, only Sangkook was by the side, and they didn't know when they would interrogate themselves.

The emperor was furious: "Mingjian? You don't take me seriously anymore? Do you still need a clear understanding? ”

Everyone was so frightened that they lay on the ground: "The emperor is wronged, the emperor is wronged." ”

He saw that everyone was frightened, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhong Aiqing, tell me that you are wronged?" Or are you wronged? ”

Seeing that the emperor's tone was not as angry as before, everyone thought that it was better to defend themselves clearly and die as they deserved.

The emperor sat down, and when he saw that several people said that they had been wronged, he was in a better mood than before: "Wu Aiqing, you say it first." ”

"No!"

"Your Majesty, my two sisters and I are scruples about the royal bloodline, thinking that this is also the emperor's son, if you don't protect it, then it won't be laughed at by the world, the so-called tiger poison does not eat children, this emperor has been a Ming monarch since he ascended the throne, if he is told by the world, how to serve the world? How do you get the emperor's children to obey you? Sincerely? Although I participated in this matter with my two sisters, it was not because I felt that there was a grievance in the death of Concubine Shu's brother, and I wanted to be a person who was loyal to the emperor, but I ended up like this, and who did the grievances of the lives of more than a dozen people. Even if the emperor wants my life today, I have to tell the truth, I am worthy of the sky, the emperor, the old general, and my conscience. Wu Shangshu's words made everyone stand in awe.

"Say, go on." The emperor was more and more interested in hearing these words.

Seeing this, Wu Shangshu continued: "The so-called monarch wants his ministers to die, and his ministers have to die, and the ministers always remember this sentence when the old general was killed, but the emperor, you are the Son of Heaven, are you worthy of all the loyal and good people in the court who were killed?" Do you turn a blind eye to being held by traitors? If the emperor feels that the minister really deserves to die, the minister has no complaints, just ask you to let go of my two sisters, they are innocent, and all the plans are done by me alone. Since the emperor ascended the throne, except for the matter of the concubine, there is no half a lie, if the minister's crime is punished, the minister has no right to theorize, and he should be punished. ”

After hearing this, the emperor said: "Someone is coming." ”

Everyone was frightened, and hurriedly pleaded: "Please forgive Wu Shangshu's sin, and the ministers are willing to take off their official hats and guarantee him with their lives." ”

The emperor saw this scene: "Heh, Zhong Aiqing is trying to blackmail me? If Wu Shangshu is not spared today, does it mean that all of them resign from their official positions, even if they lose their lives? ”

Zhong Aiqing replied: "If the emperor insists on this, then you can only do what the emperor wants." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Okay, you are my so-called loyal courtiers?" Actually threaten me? ”

The prince replied firmly: "Your Majesty, how dare you threaten, but if the emperor still wants to make the mistake of the year, then we are willing to stop being officials. ”

"Lord Wang, you are my own imperial brother, and you are also so threatening to me? Could it be that one day I will have to give in to the country that I want to be? The emperor was so angry by these people's words that he was speechless, he originally thought of Aiqing's theory, but he didn't think of blackmailing himself?

"Whoever comes, except for Wei Xiangguo, the rest of the people are all put into the prison for me, and no one is allowed to visit or approach without my permission."

"This is the so-called Son of Heaven? Change at any time, indiscriminately? ”

"The emperor, you have no eyes, if you have knowledge under the spring, please see, the emperor is so mediocre today? You are not convinced, you are not convinced. Wu Shangshu shouted, and everyone stopped talking, just waiting for it to fall.

The guards brought everyone into the prison, and there was only Wei Xiangguo in the entire imperial study, but he was also dead. ”

Mrs. Xiangguo outside the room saw that several people were taken away, but she didn't see Xiangguo, so she was also anxious, and her heart was up and down, but she didn't dare to trespass.

He knelt on the ground, didn't say a word, just waited for the emperor to interrogate him, but he couldn't do anything.

The emperor saw that he was silent for a long time, so he said: "Wei Aiqing, you have always been my confidant, what do you think of the previous incident of Aiqing?" "The emperor is also polite to him, after all, he has not participated in this matter, the so-called uninformed person is not guilty, no matter how confused the emperor is, he can't commit this mess.

Wei Xiangguo saw that the emperor did not mean to blame him, but he also wondered why he was announced today: "Your Majesty, the ministers really don't know what crime they have committed, the ministers are afraid, the ministers are afraid." He was still on his knees with his head bowed.

"Haha, Wei Xiangguo, I came today to let you watch a play, where did Wei Aiqing come from to blame?"

"This ......" Wei Xiangguo doesn't understand the holy will anymore, the emperors of the past dynasties, the will of the Son of Heaven cannot be speculated indiscriminately, it seems that he really understands it today.

"Grandpa Sun."

Father-in-law Sun and Mrs. Xiangguo were waiting outside the door, and Aiqing, who had been escorted away before, was also frightened. Hearing the emperor's shout, he immediately ran in: "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”

"You went to invite Mrs. Xiangguo in, you must be in a hurry at this moment, right?"

"No."

"Madam, the emperor is invited." When Mrs. Xiangguo heard this, she already wanted to rush in, so she immediately ran in.

"The courtier's wife sees the emperor, and the emperor is safe." When she saw that Xiang Guo was still kneeling on the ground, she was also a little nervous.

"Let's all be flat, Grandpa Sun, give them a seat."

"Your Majesty." This move surprised Wei Xiangguo and his wife, not only did the emperor not punish the crime, but also gave him a seat, what does this mean?

sat down, just waiting for the emperor to ask, and neither of them dared to make a sound.

The emperor was also silent for a long time, and after a long time, the previously tightly locked brows also relaxed: "Wei Aiqing, you said that this Wu Shangshu should not be punished?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to make judgments in vain, but the minister wants to ask, do you want to hear the truth, or is it a lie?" Wei Xiangguo is also full of doubts about what happened before, how can he talk nonsense.

"Wei Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it, of course I want to listen to the truth and forgive you for your innocence, please speak." The emperor was afraid that he would have scruples, so the pardon of innocence gave him privileges.

"No."

Although the minister didn't know what happened back then, but after listening to Wu Shangshu's words, he also felt that he was reasonable, even if the emperor didn't care about his own emperor, but he also had to take care of the world, the so-called people who won the hearts of the people can win the world, Shangshu and others were guilty of bullying the king, but they also took into account the face of the Son of Heaven, which is more merit than fault. The minister felt that if he wanted the court to be at ease in the future and the world was peaceful, this crime could be cured and locked up for a few days to punish the bullying of Zhong Aiqing, but not to be put into the prison and killed. Wei Xiangguo saw that the emperor's face became a little peaceful, and he also felt that he should not have said anything wrong.

The emperor laughed: "Wei Aiqing, Wei Aiqing, I said how I am so blessed to have such a virtuous minister as you." I have this intention, Aiqing is worthy of being a brother who has fought the world with me, it seems that this time of crisis really depends on you to solve my suffering, and I am relieved. ”

Wei Xiangguo and his wife finally put down the stone resting on their chests.

"Emperor Xie appreciates, the ministers are afraid, the ministers are afraid." Wei Xiangguo smiled, and the emperor felt comfortable no matter how he looked at it.

"Then would it be good to have a drink with my wife today? We haven't been together in private for a long time, right? ”

The emperor and Wei Xiangguo and Mrs., that were also people with stories, Xiangguo has been assisting him to make his court more stable over the years, and the credit is naturally indispensable, plus Mrs. was also the first beauty in the capital back then, this Xiangguo also helped a lot in order to get this lady.

"As long as the emperor is happy, let alone eating and drinking with you, it will be the life of the minister, and the minister is willing." As soon as Wei Xiangguo's words came out, he tied the emperor's heart that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Grandpa Sun, you tell me to go down and prepare some good wine and food, and today Xiangguo and his wife will stay in the palace to accompany me, and send the two back to the house tomorrow." The emperor wanted to keep them, and they hadn't been together for many years, so this brotherhood was naturally very nostalgic.

"No, the minister will give the order."

The three of them chatted about the past in the imperial study together, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and when it was time to eat, several people talked and laughed and walked out of the imperial study.

And the little prince waited in the house for a day and didn't see Ama Eniang come back, so his mood naturally became anxious. After walking in the house for a while, and walking outside the house for a while, I walked dozens of times outside here and outside without waiting for the second elder.

Seeing that it was getting late, he also thought about going to the palace tomorrow to explore, so he went to sleep first.

In Wu Shangshu's mansion, Qiyue saw that she didn't wait for her husband to return, so she slipped out by herself and entered the palace.

No, I saw a dark shadow flying around on the roof of the imperial study from afar, and after staying for a while, I lifted the bricks of the roof, and when I saw that the room was empty, I left again.

When he was about to leave, he saw a few people eating wine in the pavilion from a distance, so he hid in the dark and whispered.

"Drunken Moon Xuan?"

She came closer, still hiding in the shadows.

Why are these people so familiar: "It's actually the emperor and the prime minister?" So where did his husband go? ”

"Since Xiangguo is fine, presumably Xiangguo should know the inside story."

She wanted to go forward and ask, but because she was secretly coming to check, and there was no holy decree to announce her entering the palace, she had to leave first, and it was not too late to ask Xiangguo tomorrow.

The figure flickered high and low, slowly moving away, and after a while, it flew out of the palace......
