"This ...... Prime minister! He had a very good personal relationship with Jiang Chengze, so he naturally didn't want to see him in trouble, so he knelt in front of King Qin to intercede for Jiang Chengze: "Weichen begs His Highness to do his best for me Nanchu on weekdays, and let it fall lightly!"

When all the ministers saw Gongyi Mo say this, they all knelt down and begged King Qin: "The ministers implore Your Highness to open the net!" ”

Seeing that everyone pleaded for him, Xuanyuan Che shook his head and said lightly: "Okay, all the adults get up!" The prime minister has worked hard and made great achievements, and this king naturally knows! But this king has already said that this matter is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, and it is a great matter. Even if my father is here, I'm afraid he won't give up easily! Now the prime minister is willing to be punished, and the king is also pleased! This case has been submitted to the Criminal Department for review, and the Prime Minister's culpability should be determined after the Criminal Department investigates the case! But the crime of negligence has already been completed, and the king temporarily removed Jiang Chengze from the post of prime minister in the name of the counselor of the Regent Hall, and instructed him to meditate on his own mistakes in the palace until the case is clarified! During the period, if you do not get the king's decree, you must not leave the house without permission! ”

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to personally help Jiang Chengze up, and the cold meaning in his phoenix eyes made the ministers dare not have any objections.

Therefore, the displaced people besieging the city at the south gate learned that the imperial court had ordered the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the ice disaster in Pingzhou, and after each received the money and grain distributed by Yunyang Mansion, they gradually dispersed.

Think that Pingzhou is the northern barrier of Southern Chu, adjacent to the Western Xia, the city has been built for hundreds of years, has always been a place of trade between the two countries, and the prosperity is not inferior to the imperial capital Yunyang. It's just that this sudden ice disaster ended the prosperity of Pingzhou City for hundreds of years.

It was less than noon that day, the official sedan chair of the Prime Minister's Mansion was still on the way back to the house, and the news that the Prime Minister was dismissed by the King of Qin on the spot had spread all over the court and the opposition.

At that time, in the East Palace, there was a faint sound of silk and bamboo music.

Xuanyuan Lang was closing his eyes in the Defu Hall to recuperate, playing with a jade fracture fan in his hand, only to hear a soft cry in his ears: "Your Highness, the concubine wants to play a song for His Highness, okay?" ”

The person who spoke was Jiang Yuxi, the crown princess who had not long been married into the East Palace, and I saw her wearing a rose-red hairpin palace dress, with green silk coiled into a flying bun, and the golden phoenix hairpin on her hair bun was golden and shining, which made her already fair little face a little more gorgeous and charming, and at this time she was waiting for Xuanyuan Lang's reply with affection in her eyes.

Although Xuanyuan Lang is famous for his flamboyance, but he is a person with a lot of feelings, since he married Jiang Yuxi, the husband and wife live a very sweet life, often play the piano and music together, seeing Yuxi's delicate expression, has long been intoxicated, stretched out his hand to caress her cheeks, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles.

"It's rare for Xi'er to have this Yaxing, it's naturally very good!"

Seeing Xuanyuan Lang nodding in approval, Jiang Yuxi couldn't wait to take the guqin sent by the maid, put it on the desk, raised his head slightly and smiled at him coquettishly, and then brushed his sleeves to reveal his white wrists, and his thin onion-like fingertips were plucked back and forth between the strings.

The sound of the piano was melodious, penetrating the temple, the drizzle outside the hall was continuous, the mist was getting thicker, and a brocade attendant hurriedly crossed the palace gate and hurriedly walked towards the Xuanyuan Lang seat.

After the waiter explained his intentions, Jiang Yuxi's piano sound had stopped abruptly, and when he looked up at Xuanyuan Lang, his expression had already changed greatly.

At this moment, he was kneeling at the feet of the crown prince, crying: "Your Highness! How so? Daddy, how could he suddenly be dismissed by King Qin? The siege of the city by the displaced people is clearly the responsibility of Yunyang Mansion Yin, how can it be held accountable to his father? The concubine begs His Royal Highness to order the restoration of his father's official position! ”

Xuanyuan Lang raised his eyes and signaled all the attendants in the hall to retreat, Fang helped Yuxi up, raised his hand to help her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted: "Xi'er, don't cry!" This matter is just the arbitrary action of the King of Qin, and when I go to explain the reason to my father and mother, your father can be reinstated. ”

Although he said that he was light, he was actually angry in his heart, Xuanyuan Che punished Jiang Chengze like this, and clearly did not take him as the prince in his eyes, but only involved the Pingzhou disaster relief fund, he currently has no perfect plan, and he can only let Jiang Chengxiang suffer some grievances first.

Yuxi listened to what he said very reasonably, thinking that although the emperor and her father were named monarchs, they were actually like brothers, how could they let the king of Qin treat his father like this, if he asked the emperor to come to the court, this matter would definitely take a turn.

Thinking of this, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he pulled Xuanyuan Lang's wide sleeves and said, "Daddy must be in a bad mood if something like this happens." The concubine wants to go back to the house to see his old man! I hope Your Highness will grant permission! ”

"That's fine, it's just that I still have important things to deal with, and I can't accompany my son back home! After Xi'er went back, just talk to him with some reassuring words, so that he doesn't have to worry too much! When I'm busy with this, I'll go to the house to see him!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!"

Approaching noon, the drizzle was still like catkins and poplars fluttering in the wind, and there was no intention of stopping, when Jiang Chengze came out of the sedan chair, the bamboo shadow had already opened the umbrella above his head, but he waved his hand to block it.

Let the gentle drizzle fall silently on his body, on his face, he walked slowly in the rain, and when he raised his eyes to see the red gold plaque given by Emperor Fuxuan in the gatehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his heart was tightened, and the three words "Prime Minister's Mansion" that were still shining with golden light witnessed the glory of his Jiang family for nearly thirty years, but now it seems like a pinprick and stinging.

The unintentional words of the bamboo shadow who followed him made him angry.

"Xiangye, the road is slippery on rainy days, be careful of the steps!" Zhuying was also kind, seeing that he only looked up at the sky and didn't pay attention to his feet, so he reminded him, but he didn't expect to be screamed by him.

"Shut up! You don't have to be called a master in the future! After all, Yan hurriedly threw away his sleeves.

Bamboo Shadow held an umbrella alone and was stunned in the rain for a long time before entering the house.

Xu Garden, about the recent rain is sufficient, the crape myrtle buds in the yard are hanging on the branches one by one, exuding a faint fragrance.

Jiang Yumo sat leaning on the corridor, looking down at the ice jade bracelet on his wrist in a daze, for some reason, he missed him especially recently, and wanted to go to his mansion several times, but he just walked out of this Xu Yuan and retreated.

Since he personally sent her home a few years ago, her father no longer embarrassed her, and their relationship is stable. He once explained that she was at ease waiting for his good news in the mansion, and she couldn't leave the mansion at will if she didn't have anything important.

In this way, although she is very lovesick, but after more than a month, she has lost a lot of weight. But he still remembered his instructions at all times, and didn't dare to go out of the house casually, for fear of displeasing him.

It's just that she is so closed-door, but it is difficult for another person, in order to avoid suspicion, since Concubine Mei passed away, he did not dare to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find her, only hoping that she could go out of the house and walk around, so that he could have the opportunity to meet her, even if it was just a few words of homely chatter. Now she can only occasionally order her personal maid Hong'er to secretly send her some rare things to please her.
