Chapter 184: The True Identity of the Emperor

After learning the truth, Mrs. Song no longer had a bitter face, and secretly wrote down the faces of the Zheng family and others psychologically, preparing to settle accounts after the autumn.

The emperor caught these people in the prison, and in fact he was protecting them in disguise, at least, not many people could break into the prison and arrest people.

At the beginning, Song Yuxuan was also worried that his family would be tortured by the prison, and he resented the emperor for using his whole family as bait to lure traitors to take the bait, but since he heard that the Dingguo family had just been born recently, he figured it out and knew the emperor's good intentions.

Since the day after the emperor left Zhengyuan Temple, Xie Changan and others then entered Beijing. He was a minister who lived in the palace for a few days, so he was used to the emperor's attitude towards them and was familiar with everything in the palace. After Xie Changan returned to Beijing, he was called by the emperor to the Yangxin Palace, and the emperor sent all the people who served at home away, and the father and son didn't know what to say in the room. Until the emperor pays off. Only then did he know that the prince was out of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and he was placed under house arrest by the emperor in the prince's mansion.

The crown prince was under house arrest for a long time and did not come out, and rumors came out, some people said that the prince's posture was arrogant, which angered the emperor, and the emperor was ready to abolish the prince, and there was also a theory that the prince approved the act of seeking power and usurping the throne, and it was not far from the day when the emperor deposed the prince.

In a word, no matter how the rumors spread, the central idea is that the emperor wants to depose the crown prince.

Now, some people are full of thoughts.

There were also many courtiers who were persecuted because of their generality. Dingguogong's family is the brunt of it.

Dingguogong's youngest daughter-in-law and sister just married the brother of Zhou Guogong's third daughter-in-law a few years ago, so the Zhang family and the Zhou family can still talk nonsense, and they are considered princes.

It's just that now the prince has an accident. forced the "person" of the prince to the point of exhaustion. The identity of the Dingguo Gong family has become embarrassing, and Xin and Dingguo Gong can be regarded as an iron-clad person on the battlefield, and if he can't do such a thing, he simply won't do it, and these forces will ensure that the prince will never do such a foolish thing.

Dingguo Gong, military generals, and holding real power, is precisely the target that should be pulled. In the struggle for power in the harem, his status is naturally self-evident. However, the Duke of Dingguo tried his best to protect the crown prince, which really made the demand for the prince of Dingguo a headache recently.

For a time, the Dingguo Mansion was contested by several princes, but it was fragrant. One day, the emperor decreed that his daughter should be sent to the palace with his son. Joy and sorrow, there are no dark waves in the court for a few days, but only the last family of his Dingguo Mansion has been smooth sailing these days, and the female dependents of the Dingguo Mansion are a little imaginative.

Dingguo Gong had the heart to remind the ladies in the house that he had been busy with Xie Chang'an's affairs recently, and he had not returned to the house a few times. It frustrated her! I never got a warning from the air, I really couldn't think of it, and I thought that my daughter's relatives were not confused until now.

Dingguo Gong was busy with the prince's affairs, and did not go home for 3 days, so he took the three sons of Dingguo Gong to the yamen to discuss policies with several ministers.

Xie Chang'an's matter, the emperor has not given a ruling until now, and the courtiers have been arrested, the emperor has raided the house, and there are enemies in the court, and the ugly deeds of the enemies have been exposed one after another. On a lively occasion, the emperor sat at the imperial table, staring intently at the stack of books in front of him. The emperor sat on the throne, raised his eyes with joy, and was ready to catch all those involved in this matter.

Dingguo Gong has been smooth sailing since the incident, and besides, Dingguo Gong's family has never had a bad relationship with others, so he has little defense. But this time, Prince Ding's father died in the palace due to an accident. At this time. But suddenly, a eunuch in the palace came to the Dingguo Mansion with a holy decree.

When Wang Quanshun came to announce the decree, the adults in the Dingguo Mansion had to go to the yamen to discuss the prince's affairs, but the rest of the people were milk dolls, they were all less than ten years old, and the Duchess of Dingguo followed the Dingguo Gong, after two dynasties, she was also able to carry things and obey the orders of the palace. However, she was still reluctant to let the children eat anything, because she knew that the children were all small children. In a hurry, the emperor ordered to obey and set up a table to receive the order.

Because of these days, their mansion is always smooth sailing, when receiving the edict, the Duchess of Dingguo did not care too much, but did not want Wang Quanshun to bring the guards with him, as soon as these people entered the Dingguo Mansion, they did not speak, but directly ordered the people of the Dingguo Mansion to be escorted away.

"The Zhang clan deceived the superiors and subordinates, and tried to plot against the prince to usurp the throne, and now the evidence is conclusive, and they will be imprisoned in the prison and beheaded after the autumn, and they will be beheaded."

After that, he pretended to bow respectfully to Mrs. Zhang, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang, please."

After hearing Wang Quanshun read out the holy decree, the Zhang family was as dead as ashes, thinking that it was his family's strength to protect the prince that angered the emperor and made the emperor angry with his family.

Mrs. Zhang tried her best to hold the hands of the maid next to her, supported her body, so that she would not be frightened too much and faint, and followed behind Wang Quanshun tremblingly, and walked out of the palace, but now there is no prisoner car outside the palace when the emperor imprisoned the criminal ministers. Zhang Xiaomei was waiting impatiently outside, so she sat up from the bed, took a bamboo stick and walked towards the yard, wanting to tell her family all this. Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt that something was wrong, but now that the family was imprisoned, besides, they were all powerless, women and children, and they had no ability to resist at all.

Old Madam Zhang's face changed for a while, and she looked at Wang Quanshun coldly and sneered: "Isn't it true that the prince doesn't know what the results of the false holy decree will be?" ”

Who knew that Wang Quanshun laughed wildly when he heard Mrs. Zhang's words, pinching his fingers and calculating it was thin and treacherous.

"Old Madam Zhang, don't tell the Sprinkle family about any false holy decrees, it's just a matter of a few days, your house has offended the new emperor, is it possible that you still want to be safe and sound?"

"The new emperor?" Old Madam Zhang looked at Wang Quanshun inexplicably, and was very shocked, "What a new emperor!" You got it! The emperor is now in good health, how can the new emperor come! ”

"Hahahaha," Wang Quanshun looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, his eyes were full of contempt, "The emperor has long been angry with the crown prince and Wei Yuanhou Shizi, but now that the matter of the court has not been resolved, the emperor will naturally not easily reveal that he is in poor health As for the new emperor, you will know who the new emperor is when you follow the Sprinkle family."

"Presumptuous!" It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and they were still asleep. Mrs. Zhang glared at Wang Quanshun angrily and tried to argue with him, but Wang Quanshun waved his hand, and the guards detained all the people and horses of the Dingguo Mansion in the carriage that had been guarded for a long time, and when the Dingguo Duke and several people received the information and returned to the house. The people in the house had already been captured by Wang Quanshun's men.

Dingguo Gong only knew that the female dependents in his house were all brought by the father-in-law next to the emperor, but he didn't know which one, so he quickly changed into court clothes, entered the palace to report to the emperor, and asked for grace to bring the royal forest army, which almost turned everyone in the capital upside down. Finally found his name in the palace. But he couldn't find a single head.

When the emperor heard the news, he increased his efforts again, and even the secret guards around him were also sent, but it was still fruitless, or the emperor had already found the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhang and others, and he was ready to continue to dig a pit for others. So they sent people to look for them, but they did not know the true identity of the emperor. That's why they claimed to the outside world that they hadn't been discovered, and they were still okay.

Since Song Yusui heard about this, he immediately asked Yuerong to quickly hand over the news to the Zuo Xiangfu and the Zhou Guogong Mansion, which were related to the Song family but were not arrested by the emperor, and told them that if there were people in the palace who had announced the decree, they must be carefully observed, if it were not for Li Shunde, who was beside the emperor, then they would not believe it at all. Although he did not go to the Dingguo Mansion to announce the decree on the same day, which father-in-law can be Wang Quanshun and who is whom, Song Yuxuan understood it in his previous life.

Song Yuxuan thought that he didn't have time to hand over the message, but when he heard the report of Yuerong's return, he was shocked and sweated.

Yuexi's serious injuries did not heal, so Song Yuxuan only sent Yuerong alone to deliver the information. As a result, when Yuerong arrived at Wanshang Mansion, if Yuerong hadn't been in time, Mrs. Wan would have taken Qin Siyuan and other ladies in the mansion and followed Wang Quanshun into the palace to thank her.

When Yuerong left, he just caught up with Wang Quanshun to announce the decree, saying that there had been civil strife up and down the capital these days, and Wan Yanting, the son of Wan Liji, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, made great achievements in the chaos, and enshrined the upper, middle and lower daughters of Wanshangshu Mansion, and asked the daughters of Wanshangshu Mansion to immediately enter the palace to thank him. The Geng family was originally from a small family, and now there is an extra Aunt Geng in the mansion who has a low eye, who obeys the orders of the edict, and has completely forgotten what happened when she was first born in the Dingguo Mansion a few days ago.

Fortunately, Qin Siyuan has been a childhood sweetheart with Zuo Xiang since he was a child. Could it be that his mother-in-law is behind the ghost? Standard famous lady, when I listened to the holy decree of the edict, I began to think, these days, Wan Li and Wan Yanting have not done anything, how can an edict come unexpectedly? How can she stop her mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law?

"The cousin tried to remind Mrs. Wan of the birth of the Dingguo Mansion a few days ago. However, as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Mrs. Wan, saying that the cousin had not done anything for Wanfu after marrying into Wanfu for more than half a year, but at this time, she wanted to drag Wanfu back, which was simply "

Yuerong paused for a moment, looked at Song Yuxuan's expression, and struggled to say, "Say that the cousin girl is a dead star at all"

"Presumptuous!"

Mo Leyuan was furious, and he was in a hurry. Slammed the table and got up, under Song Yuxuan's pull again, although Song Yuxuan's face was not much better than Mo Leyuan's now, fortunately, she was still a little rational and asked calmly.
