On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, after stopping the morning court for two days, Baiguan resumed the morning court.

Some well-informed people knew that the prince of Zhenguo was detained by the criminal department last night, so he guessed that the situation was getting more serious, and the emperor was probably determined to deal with Zhenguo Gong.

The people were anxious, and they did not dare to talk about it, lest they should be caught by someone and suffer a catastrophe.

Sure enough, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department read out the charges of Wang Mao, the Duke of Zhenguo, and raised troops to rebel and form a party for personal gain. took away all his official positions, and everyone in the palace was detained and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. The people of the Wang clan within the five suits, as well as several officials such as Jin Wuwei and Zhang Datong, were all implicated and imprisoned.

Emperor Qingming used thunderbolts, without mercy, and hundreds of officials were silent, and no one dared to speak out for the Zhenguo Gong anymore.

The prince of Chengjun was reinstated, and the guards outside the palace were evacuated.

Luo Shangshu was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department made meritorious contributions to the investigation of cases and served as the second assistant of the cabinet.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Imperial Forest Army were busy, arresting people and raiding homes.

At the end of the year, the capital has no New Year's flavor, and there is a thick layer of haze in the sky, and people are panicking.

The Queen Mother got the news and hurried to the imperial study.

"The mourning family heard that the emperor has convicted the Wang family of treason and is raiding the house?"

Emperor Qingming said lightly, "Queen Mother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. ”

The Queen Mother said angrily, "The Wang family is the maiden family of the mourning family! The emperor is going to destroy the mother family of the mourning family! ”

Emperor Qingming looked at the Queen Mother, his eyes were full of coldness, "If I continue to tolerate it, this country will not be surnamed Zhao."

The Queen Mother looked at him in disbelief, "How could the Duke of Zhenguo usurp the throne!" He's the prince's uncle! You are only willing to believe what others say, why don't you believe the words of Zhen Guogong! ”

"What happened last night, does the Queen Mother know?"

The Queen Mother shook her head, "The emperor is strict everywhere, and he also disposed of the two eunuchs in the palace of the mourning family, and the queen mother of the mourning family is not stronger than others, how do you know what happened last night." ”

"Those two eunuchs, one went out of the palace without permission and the other went to the edict without permission, if I don't deal with them, won't I break the rules."

Emperor Qingming said, "Last night, Wang Mao sent someone to Zhang Da Commander's Mansion to make a confession, wanting to deceive Wang Mao and Jiahe into having a marriage contract, trying to tie King Chengjun and them together, and use King Chengjun's innocence to prove their innocence. The queen said, "If they don't have a demon in their hearts, why do they behave like this?" ”

The Queen Mother frowned, why was the prince so confused? Isn't this the same as not admitting yourself!

Emperor Qingming said, "I promised the position of Prince Zhao Chen and the position of the first assistant of Wang Can's cabinet, but they are still not satisfied, and they want to completely hold this country in their own hands. Mother, if you reach that time, will you still have a way to live? ”

The Queen Mother's lips moved, but she could not say anything affirmative.

If Wang Can becomes the emperor, what is she, the queen mother? Naturally, we have to make room for them, so that they can be justified.

Her mind was chaotic, and after a long time, she found her thoughts.

She shook her head slowly, "No, I don't believe they will rebel. It's all framed by others. ”

Emperor Qingming said lightly, "When the queen mother is embarrassed for the King of Jin and the princess of Jin, she should understand that she is being used by Wang Can. Everything was picked by him, and now that others have framed it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince me. ”

The Queen Mother regretted that she had been good to Zhao Chengyuan for twenty years, why did she make a mistake at this time and provoke him.

If you had left some leeway in your actions at that time, why did you come to this point?

The thousand-year-old snow lotus, the gold medal for avoiding death, failed to save the Wang family, what else can she do?

The Queen Mother suddenly looked at her.

Seventh, she can ask for seventh! ——

When Zhao Chengyuan and Han Youning had lunch, Gonggong Wei came to invite Zhao Chengyuan into the palace.

Zhao Chengyuan didn't see him, and only asked Ye Chang to pass the word, "The old disease has recurred, I'm afraid of colliding with the Queen Mother." ”

Gonggong Wei bowed with a bitter face, "Guard Ye, you are good, let the prince enter the palace no matter what." A few days ago, the Queen Mother hurt the prince because she felt sorry for the lord of Nanzhang, and she was really remorseful. ”

Ye Chang sat down, squinted at him and said, "Don't, you are the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, and the row is big, so you can salute me." ”

Gonggong Wei pinned the dust behind him, and stepped forward to help Ye Chang pinch his shoulders and rub his back, "The status of the prince of Jin is noble, and you are the personal guard of the prince's side, who in the capital can't respect Ye Ye when he sees it?" ”

After saying that, the corner of Father-in-law Wei's mouth twitched, what kind of surname is this, so taking advantage of others.

Ye Chang looked enjoyable, "Father-in-law Wei's kung fu in serving people is good, since you call me grandpa, I'll show you the way." ”

Father-in-law Wei looked happy, "What Ming Road?" ”

Ye Chang pointed to his shoulder, and Grandpa Wei hurriedly continued to pinch his shoulder.

Ye Chang said, "Our princess has been wronged for no reason and has become the murderer of the county lord of Nanzhang. The prince felt sorry for the princess, and his heart was naturally unhappy, and the disease followed. To put it bluntly, this is heart disease. If you want the prince to enter the palace, you have to relieve him of his heart disease. ”

Father-in-law Wei asked, "Then how to solve this heart disease?" ”

"Naturally, it solved our princess's grievances, stupid!"

Father-in-law Wei smiled, "This ...... The Queen Mother will definitely give the princess a fair time, and the illness of the lord of Nanzhang County must have nothing to do with the princess of Jin. ”

Ye Chang sighed, "There has to be a sequence in this matter, the princess is still aggrieved, and the prince has to be by her side from time to time, where do you have the heart to enter the palace?" ”

Father-in-law Wei said a lot of bad things, but in the end he returned in vain.

He returned to Cining Palace and told him the truth.

The Queen Mother sneered, "He relied on the mourning family to ask him, so he set up a score!" ”

Gonggong Wei persuaded him with good words, "The Queen Mother, you and King Jin have always had a deep mother-son relationship, which everyone knows. You were strict with the prince a few days ago, and the prince was playing tricks with you, feeling that he had been wronged, and asked you to go down the stairs. ”

The Queen Mother's expression softened a little, "That's it, he wants steps, and the mourning family will give him steps." ”

She got up and walked out, "The mourning family will personally pick a good thing for Princess Jin, and they must be satisfied with their husband and wife." ”

Father-in-law Wei was surprised, "Niangniang, you haven't been to the warehouse for several years. You are really good to King Jin, if the prince knows, there will be no grievances. ”

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, "I don't know how much I can save from the relationship between the mourning family and his mother and son." ”

"The queen mother is going to compensate the seventh brother, isn't she?"

Emperor Qingming walked over to him, "It's so good, my son is with you." ”

When the queen mother saw his son, she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, and she said lightly, "The mourning family has wronged their husband and wife in a moment of confusion, and they should always be appeased." ”

Emperor Qingming smiled, did not debunk her thoughts, and helped her to the treasury of the side hall.

The warehouse was full, with large and small cages on the shelves on the ground, and a few shelves with various ornaments. There are jade, coral, gold, and all kinds of huge rough stones, which are still half-covered by the pipa.

Emperor Qingming shuttled between several shelves, talking about the origin of several of the ornaments, and stopped when he walked in front of a huge rough stone.

"If I remember correctly, this is something left by my father, right?"
