Chapter 159: Timid

The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter of my princess can be tilted!

It's no wonder that Prime Minister Lan reacted greatly, the holy decree in his hand was a few years old at a glance, and the handwriting was a little yellowed.

It looks very well preserved, there is no wear and tear around the body, and the silver dragon and auspicious cloud crane patterns flying at both ends are still lifelike.

And the seal stamped in the lower left corner is the emperor's!

Rao is Prime Minister Lan, who has always been calm and unhurried, and he can't figure out the situation for a while.

Hou Ye's face was always calm, and only the moment he saw the holy decree, he was dyed with a complicated look of melancholy and ease.

When Prime Minister Lan looked at the content of the holy decree, he looked at the marquis, looked at the old prince, and then couldn't help it, and glanced at the emperor a few times.

Just opposite the calm gaze of the emperor, Prime Minister Lan looked away with a weak heart.

The emperor was unconscious, and said softly: "Read it." ”

Prime Minister Lan cleared his throat, and with his indescribable sigh, he finished announcing the holy decree aloud.

It stands to reason that when the decree is read, all those present are required to kneel.

It's just that this holy decree came strangely, and the content was even more strange, and by the time the officials remembered it, they had already finished reading it.

Kneel again, it will be too late and hypocritical.

And they were so shocked by this holy decree that their minds were in a mess.

Dai Guogong was dumbfounded.

He suspected that he was hallucinating.

The first emperor actually issued an order to the Hou Ye, asking him to guard the two mines for the emperor, and he had to hide it from everyone, twenty years ago?!

Dai Guogong's whole person is not good.

He didn't notice that Chen Guogong beside him had no earthy face, but his eyes were burning with a strange light, as if angry and afraid, his hands under his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his muscles were bursting up.

After a long time, Chen Guogong closed his eyes and suppressed the accelerated heartbeat and stirring emotions.

The noisy chatter and various speculations around him reached his ears, and Chen Guogong lowered his head and sneered, forcing himself not to look at the emperor, although he was very curious about the emperor's current expression.

The holy decree said that let the marquis watch the mine for the emperor, and he was not allowed to tell the emperor. The officials were curious about the meaning of this decree.

No one thought that the above only said that it was the next emperor, but it was not necessarily the current emperor.

Among the hundreds of people in the main hall, Chen Guogong knew that only the emperor understood who that person was referring to.

Maybe there is also Hou Ye, if Hou Ye didn't understand the meaning of the holy decree, he wouldn't have taken it out after so many years of the emperor's succession.

I didn't dare for fear of getting killed.

There are some things that are best to be buried in the stomach forever.

But it was discovered by someone under Chen Guogong by mistake.

Hou Ye lost the opportunity to retreat, so the sword went sideways and played a trick to draw salary.

As soon as the holy decree came out, all the charges previously accused of the palace and the marquis were self-defeating. Regardless of the purpose of the holy decree, Hou Ye acted according to the decree and was not at fault.

Xiao Ran said: "The matter of the mine has also been explained clearly, what else does Chen Guogong want to ask?" ”

The lazy voice dragged everyone's thoughts back. Daiguo Gong realized that most of the suspicions in the palace had been cleared, and they seemed to be worse?

With a stirring spirit all over his body, Dai Guogong was heartbroken, his forehead jumped suddenly, and he stiffened his body to see Chen Guogong.

Chen Guogong still lowered his head, closed his eyes slightly, and his side face was unwavering.

This time, they lost completely.

If they lose, it doesn't mean that the palace wins, whoever has the last laugh is the winner.

Xiao Ran didn't miss the opportunity to beat the water dog, "Since Chen Guogong has nothing to say, the palace has also proved his innocence." Well, it's time for me to ask. ”

"First of all, the seal of the palace on the secret letter is fake, but the seal of Prime Minister Di Rong is real, where did Chen Guogong get it?"

"Second, the Qin family at the border has a close relationship with Di Rong, and Aunt Qin from the Gu Mansion has infiltrated the palace before, in order to steal the secrets of the palace, Chen Guogong, you have a good relationship with Aunt Qin? Of course, Aunt Qin, as the concubine of the King of Changle County, does Lord Gu have anything to explain? ”

"In the end, the palace intercepted a few letters between Chen Guogong and Di Rong, which said that this time Di Rong attacked, it seems that he intends to cooperate with Chen Guoqian, first bring down my Prince Xiao's mansion, and then take advantage of the chaos to capture a few cities in the Daxiao border pass, Chen Guogong, what do you think?"

Three questions smashed, and only Xiao Ran's cold voice echoed in the hall. No, Xiao Ran smiled softly, "Looking at it this way, it seems that it is Chen Guogong who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country." ”

Before falling into the well, the people who helped Chen Guogong speak were all wilted. Chen Guogong and his party all shrank their heads, and their faces were colorless.

Chen Guogong raised his head, stared at Xiao Ran with a cold gaze, and said calmly: "First, the letter was stolen by Aunt Qin, and it was also given to me by Aunt Qin, and I don't know anything else. Second, Aunt Qin came to me to inform, the palace collaborated with the enemy, she was a witness, I protected her safety, and there was no other contact. I don't know about the Qin family. Third, the so-called letter has the palace in front, I don't think I need to say more about the reliability of this secret letter, right? Who knows if the palace has brought a rake to frame me? ”

Chen Guogong said calmly and with a righteous face.

Xiao Ran touched his face, even if he put on a layer of fake, he felt that he was not as thick as Chen Guogong.

"Chen Guogong refuses to admit it?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows, "This is also easy to do, the palace was suspicious before, cooperate with the investigation, and prove his innocence." Now it's Chen Guogong's turn, don't treat it differently. Didn't Chen Guogong think that the prison was good before, so let's go squatting. ”

Everyone was embarrassed for a while, what the prince said was as easy as eating, when everyone was the same as him, was the taste so peculiar?

Before Chen Guogong could speak, Dai Guogong's legs went soft, and he fell to the ground with a "poof". Then he hurriedly got up and kowtowed to the emperor.

"Knock knock" hurts to look at, and his forehead turns red in a few clicks.

Dai Guogong snorted and cried, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know anything!" The things that the prince said, the minister never knew. Your Majesty, you have to believe in your ministers. ”

Dai Guogong is really wronged.

He took refuge in Chen Guogong, but he simply wanted to hug his thick thighs. followed the crowd of the palace, simply watched the palace fall into the pit, and threw a few stones with the public.

And then, somehow, threw a little aggressively. At this moment, the palace turned over, and he bore the brunt of bad luck.

The bowels of the repentant of the country are blue.

knew that he would give up the little military power in his hand to the prince of the world, and found a corner to squat silently. It's better than now, following Chen Guogong to prison.

Xiao Ran has a black line. He didn't seem to mention Dai Guogong at all just now, right? Is it really good to be so active and come forward to accept the sin? Gu Xiao is still over there, like no one.

Xiao Ran finished thinking about it, and there was another "poof", and Gu Xiao knelt down.

It is estimated that the strength is not grasped well, and when he knelt down, he used a lot of force, and the pain made him grin, and he said while twitching: "Your Majesty, minister...... The minister, like the acting prince, knows nothing. Xuan'er, you know, you love to play. That Aunt Qin is quite attractive, on Zhaoyang's birthday, Xuan'er got drunk and recognized the wrong person, and then ...... In order to save the face of the prince, the minister did not publicize it. It happened that at that time, the prince of the world divorced Aunt Qin, and Xuan'er was going to die or live again, so the minister had to keep her. As for what Qin Mansion, Di Rong, the minister really didn't know at all. ”

Suddenly, it transitioned from national affairs to backyard gossip. After listening to it with a tiger face, everyone was in their hearts: Oh, it turns out that this is how the green hat of the prince came from.

Gu Xiaoqing said a lot sincerely, the emperor didn't look at him at all, looked directly at Chen Guogong over him, and said: "I trust you so much, but you colluded with Di Rong to frame the palace, causing war at the border pass, and ignoring the people, are you right to do this?" Have you ever thought about Jin'er and Han'er?! ”

When Chen Guogong heard this, he seemed to be greatly shaken, his lips moved, his eyes slowly moistened, and he said sadly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are fiercely loyal to you, and they can learn from the sun and the moon, and they have never done the slightest thing to be sorry for you and sorry for Da Xiao. Your Majesty, you love the concubine and the three princes, and you are convinced of the Chen Guogong Mansion, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? What is the benefit of colluding with Di Rong to the minister, even if it is for the sake of the concubine and the third prince, the minister has no reason to do it. ”

What Chen Guogong said is called a sincere feeling, earnest, a little simpler, and all moved and confused.

Xiao Ran sighed again, compared with these old foxes, there was still a gap.

Xiao Ran wiped away the tears that didn't exist, "Chen Guogong is brave and loyal, it's too touching. Since you are innocent, how can the emperor let you be wronged? Hurry up and go to the prison, find out what happened, and you can get out. ”

Xiao Ran turned his head and urged Dali Siqing, "What are you doing in a daze, take people away, don't delay Chen Guogong's time." ”

Chen Guogong stuck a mouthful of old blood in his chest, and looked at Xiao Ran's eyes so fierce that he could eat him.

Xiao Ran shrunk his shoulders back, "Don't look at me like that, I'm timid, what should I do if I'm frightened?" ”

All:.......

There is a Xiao Ran interruption, and the atmosphere that is easy to save up is gone. Chen Guogong twitched his face and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "The minister believes that the emperor will not ......"

The emperor interrupted him and said, "I also believe in you. As Yuan'er said, cooperate with the investigation first, find out as soon as possible, and come out as soon as possible. The Great Depression can't live without you. He Aiqing, take someone down. ”

Chen Guogong swallowed half of the remaining words back into his stomach, and he didn't allow him to clean up his mood and make persistent efforts, Xiao Ran made a look, and the guards of the main hall invited people away.

Dai Guogong and Gu Xiao sat on the ground, thinking that they had escaped, so they heard Xiao Ran continue: "There are still ......"

Outside the hall, the second master and Qin Ziyan, who were waiting for the edict, waited for a long time, but no one asked, and they were in a hurry, so they came in with a team of guards.

The two of them had bad intuition, and when they figured out what was going on, there were only two words in their hearts: it's over.

Chen Guogong was imprisoned on charges of framing the royal palace and colluding with Di Rong. Dai Guogong and Gu Xiao, as accomplices, coordinated the investigation. The second master and Qin Ziyan forged evidence and were also imprisoned.

It is still presided over by Prime Minister Lan Cheng, Dali Siqing, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

However, the previous criminal department secretary was demoted by one level because of poor supervision. The book of the criminal department was temporarily received by King Mo.

Xiao Yuan and Hou Ye were not promoted last time, but this time Xiao Yuan was still promoted by one level and was named the auxiliary general of the second grade. At the same time, together with the prince, each brought 100,000 troops and rushed to the border to support Yangcheng.

Hou Ye was directly promoted to the third level, from the fourth-grade servant to the second-grade Guanglu doctor.

Among Wenchen, he is already a top person. How many civil officials are dying of envy, and they don't dare to say anything. People have silently done things for the emperor for more than 20 years.

As a result, Hou Ye was not happy. He doesn't want to be a civilian official anymore, he would rather not be promoted, but also become a military attache to fight. Even if you start as a creep.

The Marquis of Ningyuan has been a military general for several generations.

Hou Ye grew up in the military camp with the old Hou Ye since he was a child. was supposed to inherit the ancestral business, but later because of the emperor's holy decree, the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, what if there was an accident? Hou Ye had to become a civil official.

Now that the burden of many years has been lifted, the Hou Ye has nothing to do, and he wants to regain the desire of his youth and regain the reputation of the Hou Mansion. For so many years, he has never fallen behind in martial arts.

Seeing that the Hou Ye insisted, the emperor finally agreed.

Naturally, it was impossible to start as a small soldier, and he was made a general of Yunlu from the third grade, and followed Xiao Yuan and Wang Ye to the border together.
