The palace attendants came to deliver the decree.

The two lanterns stand out in the dark.

Ji Yanran didn't sleep at all, and when she heard the news, she immediately got up and put on her clothes, and Li Yong also came back from the study.

"Go get the third master's official uniform." Ji Yanran instructed Rong's mother.

Mother Rong answered.

The room immediately became busy.

Li Yong's expression was still very calm, as if nothing had happened, he walked over and stood in front of her: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, don't panic if you hear any news at home, I'll let Tang Qian and them stay in case Xie Yan's people get in." ”

"So what," Ji Yanran said, "Can I still escape if you are caught?" If you can run, the monk can't run the temple. ”

Ji Yanran raised her head and saw that he was looking at her with a smile: "Worried about me?" ”

He deliberately stood there still, apparently asking her to help change his clothes.

When he just crossed over, he was lying on the bed like a sick cat, and she followed Master Shikong to change his dressing every day, what had she never seen, and she was still afraid that he would not succeed?

"I'm not worried about you," Ji Yanran said, "I'm just worried about my brother and myself." ”

"Yes," Li Yong said with a smile, "I know that we are not really husband and wife anyway, and you are just making a show for others to change my clothes by yourself." ”

He said that he would show it to others, but there was no one else in the house.

was teased by Li Yong so easily, Ji Yanran's heart seemed to be much easier: "If I pass you so late, I won't be fooled by you easily." ”

"I know," Li Yong took Ji Yanran's hand, and this time she didn't dodge, "We'll have breakfast together tomorrow morning." ”

With that, he straightened his clothes and strode out.

Ji Yanran looked at Li Yong's back, how could she not be worried.

I hope Ran Liu and Gu Heng are all going well.

……

The emperor looked at several people in the hall with a gloomy face.

Ran Liu, Gu Heng, Lin Shaoying and Lu San stood in a row, although they all changed their clothes and disposed of their wounds, they were still so ridiculous.

Lin Rang glanced at Lord Ran and Cheng Engong, Cheng Engong looked like he was about to tear his son and eat it, as if even if the emperor didn't deal with Gu Heng, he wouldn't let his son see the sun tomorrow again.

Think about the words that Cheng Engong whispered to him outside the Prince's Mansion......

It's really hypocritical, obviously he wants to excuse his children, and if he acts like this, he is not afraid of going out and being struck by lightning.

As soon as Lin Rang thought of this, a thunderclap exploded outside.

Cheng Engong's face was righteous and awe-inspiring: "You few rebellious and shameless things, you don't know how to be loyal to the court and contribute to the society, and you still act like this, God is going to split you." ”

Before Gu Heng could speak, Ran Liu raised his head: "We are either doing nonsense, or he," he said and pointed to the official of Hebei Province, "He pretended to be an official of the imperial court, I interrogated him a few words, who knew that he would start with me." ”

Lord Ran's face was ugly: "That's the official of the imperial court." ”

Ran Liu's eyes widened in surprise: "Is he really?" He is also here to celebrate the crown prince's birthday? ”

The Emperor turned his head to look at the crown prince standing next to him, who had been standing there silently since he had entered, making people forget his existence.

The crown prince immediately said: "Father, the official just happened to enter Beijing and didn't come to congratulate his son's birthday." ”

"I don't look like it," Ran Liu continued, "The man's shoes are all torn, obviously he has walked a long way, and he has no gifts in his hand, I thought he had sneaked into the prince's mansion to eat white food, so I grabbed him and asked a few words, but he said that there was a great drought in Hebei Province, and we couldn't get food together this year, and we gentlemen were still spending all day drinking, and the Wu Dynasty would be defeated in our hands sooner or later." ”

Ran Liu's eyes widened as he spoke: "Your Majesty, the ministers are wronged, how can this person talk like this, how can the ministers ...... Spare him. ”

The officials of Hebei Province knelt down in Ran Liu's voice and knocked on the ground: "Your Majesty, what Weichen said is true, I also want to send news to the prince when I come to Beijing this time, Hebei Province has been in drought for many years, in fact, the granary has long been empty, and if there is a real war, then it is really necessary to let those foreign enemies win without a fight." ”

said it like this, the prince's face suddenly turned pale, no matter what happened over the years, he would stand aside and watch the excitement, who knew that he would be dragged into the water without checking.

"Father, this matter needs to be investigated carefully......"

Before the prince finished speaking, Ran Liu had already said: "There are countless grains in the Wu Dynasty, what is the big drought for three years, after the saint succeeded to the throne, the wind and rain were smooth, the treasury was full, Gyeonggi repaired the warehouse, and the rice and grain in it can be eaten for a hundred years, this is well known, there are such rumors...... According to Weichen, this kind of person who confuses the morale of the army must be a spy of the enemy country, and he should be killed to set an example. ”

The officials of Hebei Province suddenly laughed when they heard this, and their appearance became a little crazy: "Weichen didn't expect to hear this kind of joke, grain can be eaten for a hundred years, why are there so many people starving to death, we are fighting the enemy in the frontier, they naturally don't know the suffering of the people." ”

"It's great to be in the frontier," Ran Liu straightened his chest, "Holy Lord, Weichen invited himself to go to the frontier to fight against foreign enemies, and he will never return to Beijing if he doesn't win the battle." ”

Hearing this, Lord Ran immediately bent down: "Please ask the emperor to condemn the crime, it is only because of the lax discipline of Weichen that such an unscrupulous son can be raised." ”

Gu Heng glanced at Ran Liudao: "Your Majesty, Weichen also invited himself to fight the enemy on the frontier. ”

Lin Shaoying was not to be outdone: "Weichen also invited himself to resist the enemy, and he will not return if he is not victorious." ”

Seeing that several people were ashamed to go to the frontier, the emperor said with a calm face: "Do you know what you are talking about? Dare to be so unscrupulous in front of me, where do you think this is? ”

Ran Liu, Gu Heng, and Lin Shaoying all knelt down immediately.

"Gather a crowd to make trouble," the Emperor sneered, "not only do you not repent, but you also want to enter the barracks...... Whoever came, put them all in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. ”

The guards immediately stepped forward and took a few people out.

The emperor looked at the Hebei Provincial officials: "What is the crime of entering Beijing without being summoned?" took off his official uniform and went to prison. ”

"You have disappointed me," the emperor looked at Lin Rang and the others, "all of them will be fined for one year, and the Duke of Protector and Duke Cheng'en will not be allowed to leave Beijing." ”

Lin Rang and the others retreated, and the prince couldn't help but purse his lips: "Father, the son really doesn't know...... If Erchen didn't investigate and make such a thing for a while, it was all Erchen's fault. ”

The emperor's mood seemed to calm down, and he looked at the prince quietly: "Now that you know, what should you do if you tell me about the north province of the river?" ”

Didn't my father use this incident to punish the Ran family, Cheng'en Gong and Huguo? Why are you asking him again now?

"Father, it's not yet the season to produce grain, those words are just speculation," the prince said and swallowed, "Erchen thinks that he should send someone to Hebei Province to check carefully, so ......"

"What if I let you go?" The emperor said, "The war in northern Xinjiang continues, how about you lead your troops to peacetime and war?" ”

The crown prince trembled, he would rather be punished than go to war, the sword and gun had no eyes, and his father almost died on the battlefield back then, not to mention that he might be plotted against when he left the East Palace: "Father, son...... Erchen also wants to go, but the East Palace is busy......"

Before he spoke, he only heard the emperor say: "You are not as good as a few gentlemen, no wonder you privately begged the Queen Mother to give you Chang Ning to be your stepconcubine, but the Queen Mother refused to agree to anything, and the Lin family simply refused to even the King of Jin in order to avoid this family affair, and chose a Li Yue, because you are not like a prince at all." ”
