Chapter 223: Going to Prison

The establishment of Yixintang has made many people feel very novel, and at the same time, they also feel the convenience and professionalism brought by the unique structure of Yixintang.

Sheng Qingyuan also joined the five princes and their husbands to continue to open Tianxiang Building.

The investment in Yixintang is very large, and Sheng Qingyuan said very helplessly that he still needs some money to support the operation of Yixintang.

There is no bamboo growth in Yanbei, and the lack of materials in Zhushanfang and Zhuxinfang makes it inconvenient to open on a large scale.

However, when the agreement between Yanbei and Dazhou is completely signed, and the two countries resume normal trade, Zhuxinfang can consider opening in the prosperous city.

Sheng Qingyuan has already exposed his whereabouts in the area of Beilin Road, and he simply did not continue to hide his identity, while understanding the people's conditions in various places, he continued to carry out Yixintang and Tianxianglou.

Although there is no bamboo in Zhushanfang, the wood in Yanbei is good, combined with some ideas provided by Shengqingyuan, Zhushanfang, which sells wood products, has also slowly opened.

The reason why I chose to open Zhushanfang, which only sells wood products, is also because the cultivated land in Yanbei is not as rich as that of Da Zhou, but the population is not less than that of Da Zhou, so there are many people who are idle and have no job and no income.

At the same time, Sheng Qingyuan also proposed the excavation of some ditches, the reinforcement of embankments and other plans for the benefit of the people, so that more people can participate.

On the one hand, it can not only allow the people who were originally idle to find some work, but on the other hand, they are also involved in the country's infrastructure, which can make them have a stronger sense of belonging to Yanbei to a certain extent.

Yanbei is developing and changing in a better and better direction.

The role of Sheng Qingyuan, Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, is visible to the naked eye, and her prestige is getting higher and higher.

Dong Zhongheng, who was sent to Da Zhou from the cottage before, also successfully played his role and told the specific situation of the year one by one.

For a time, the people and courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were in an uproar.

The letters exchanged between Dong Zhongheng and Bai Ting were forged, and when Yanbei was temporarily defeated, Zhenguo Gong decided to continue to send troops based on the news obtained from Yanbei and the false news given by Zuo Ye's eyes in the army, which led to the final fiasco.

But because Zhenguo Gong left a hand, it will not be wiped out, and forty percent of the troops are still retained.

If it weren't for the fact that it still retained forty percent of the troops as a backhand to deter Yanbei, and even if it was a plan, it would have severely damaged the main force of Yanbei, but I was afraid that with the fall of the Zhenguo Mansion, Yanbei at that time would be able to take advantage of the situation to beat the Great Zhou to a falling flower.

But even so, when almost all the people tried to protect the Zhenguo Mansion, they still sentenced the Zhenguo Mansion to exile.

Now that I know that the Zhenguo Mansion was designed to be wronged, or was wronged by the important ministers of the Great Zhou, the Zhenguo Mansion that protected the peace of the Great Zhou with his life ended up like this, but Zuo Ye and others, who framed Zhongliang, were able to enjoy infinite scenery, and the anger under the strong contrast almost drowned Zuo Ye.

Zuo Ye tried to explain, but the people couldn't listen.

Four years ago, it was the Zhenguo Mansion that desperately protected each other, and four years later, Zuo Ye's people almost gave away the Great Zhou, and it was the Zhenguo Gong who was ordered to protect the Great Zhou.

The people's anger towards Zuo Ye was suddenly monstrous.

Chu Xuanjin and Zuo Ye didn't expect such a thing to happen in advance, so they didn't take any precautions, and the people who were extremely angry tried to rush to Zuo Ye's face, wanting to beat him to death to the Zhenguo Mansion and give a bad breath to the dead people of the Great Zhou.

Zuo Ye saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly ran away.

Although there were guards who stopped the people from touching him, he had not run far before he was stopped by Shen Zhao's secret guards.

"Get out of the way!" Zuo Ye shouted angrily.

However, this is not someone Zuo Ye can command.

Shen Zhao walked in front of Zuo Ye with a cold voice and a cold face, "Master Taishi, all the evidence is in front of you, what else do you have to say?" ”

"It's all your deliberate design, it's all your deliberate murder! I won't be fooled, and Your Majesty will never be easily deceived by you! Zuo Ye clenched his hands into fists and subconsciously looked at Chu Xuanjin.

However, at this time, Chu Xuanjin looked away.

Although he trusts Zuo Ye very much, but now that he sees the eyes of the people looking at Zuo Ye, he can't wait to kill him, Chu Xuanjin is even more stupid and knows that if he continues to protect Zuo Ye now, then he, the emperor, is afraid that he will be scolded together.

Seeing that Chu Xuanjin was at a critical time, he actually ignored himself, Zuo Ye's heart couldn't help but cool, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a rotten egg hit the top of Zuo Ye's head, and the rotten egg liquid immediately flowed all over his face.

When Chu Xuanjin saw Zuo Ye like this, a trace of disgust quickly crossed his eyes.

"The Empress Dowager's decreeβ€”"

The sound of the eunuch's spikes suddenly sounded.

Zuo Ye's eyes suddenly rose with a burst of hope, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a deep uneasiness in his heart.

Shen Zhao looked at the oncoming eunuch with a calm face.

After the eunuch saluted Chu Xuanjin, he looked at Zuo Ye, unfolded his decree, and said in a loud voice: "Empress Dowager Yizhi, Zuo Ye framed Zhongliang and sent him to the heavenly prison for interrogation!" ”

Zuo Ye looked at the eunuch in shock.

Chu Xuanjin was also quite surprised that the Queen Mother would put Zuo Ye in prison at this time.

As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, the forbidden army immediately took Zuo Ye down.

Zuo Ye has been taken down, and the matter of Shen Zhao's accusation can be regarded as a temporary explanation, so Shen Zhao has no reason to continue to pursue responsibility.

The eunuch said to Shen Zhao: "Please ask His Royal Highness King Jing to return to the house for a while, the Queen Mother and His Majesty will definitely give you, the Bai family, and Da Zhou an explanation for this matter." ”

"Okay." Shen Zhao nodded in response and did not continue to be embarrassed.

Seeing that the matter was over, the people slowly dispersed.

When Shen Zhao was about to go back, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite Shen Zhao to her palace.

"Queen Mother." Shen Zhao called lightly.

The Queen Mother said to Shen Zhao with a gentle and kind smile on her face: "You have been back to Beijing for so long, and the mourning family has not had a good chat with you. ”

Shen Zhao said lightly: "The Queen Mother is the same as in previous years, and she can't see any changes. ”

Little rabbit cub is ironic, her means have never grown as always.

"The first emperor did not have many heirs, and now there are only two brothers left, you and the emperor, but now that foreign enemies are eyeing each other, our Great Zhou Dynasty needs to be stable in order to unanimously resist the outside, and your brothers need to work together to build the harmony and tranquility of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what do you think?" The Queen Mother said to Shen Zhao bitterly.

Shen Zhao looked at the Queen Mother with a smile.

The Queen Mother continued: "The mourning family knows that you have been worried about the affairs of your foreign family, and this matter is indeed caused by the emperor's unknown employment. You can rest assured that all the grievances suffered by the Zhenguo Mansion will be compensated as they deserve, and they will not be wronged again. ”

Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Shen Zhao only felt full of sarcasm.

The emperor is unknown?

Such a big injustice only uses an emperor who doesn't know people and wants to prevaricate the past?

With the prestige of the Zhenguo Mansion, if it weren't for the emperor's empress dowager's intention to make a move, Zuo Ye would have the courage to frame a loyal minister so easily?

"Zuo Ye framed Zhongliang, don't worry, the mourning family and the emperor will definitely not let him go." The Queen Mother assured Shen Zhao.

"I believe in the evidence, and I believe in the law of the Great Zhou. The innocent are naturally innocent, and the guilty are naturally not guilty. Shen Zhao said.

The Queen Mother still had a shallow smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Seeing that Shen Zhao didn't enter the topic of oil and salt, the Queen Mother changed the topic, "Regarding your princess, maybe you will be confused now?" ”

"I don't have any confusion." Shen Zhao's voice was faint, but his tone was very firm.

This time, the matter was judged very quickly, and the three divisions were very shocked by this.

I was shocked that Zuo Ye was so ruthless in the first place, and I was also shocked that Shen Zhao was so well prepared with relevant evidence.

Prison ......

At this time, Zuo Ye was sitting in the prison, his eyes closed, and he couldn't see any hurry.

A footstep sounded, and Zuo Ye slowly opened his eyes to look at the comer.

"I've kept you waiting."

"Grandpa Huang." When Zuo Ye saw the visitor, he finally showed a smile that he hadn't shown in the past few days.

It's just that this time, for Zuo Ye, it is completely impossible not to panic.

His reliance is on the attitude of the emperor and the queen mother.

He wasn't sure whether the Queen Mother's public order was to perfunctory King Jing, or if she really wanted to hand him over and give an explanation to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Therefore, the meaning conveyed by Huang Gonggong's arrival today is very important.

As soon as Gonggong Huang saw Zuo Ye's appearance, he immediately said, "Eh! Why don't you know how to prepare a better futon for adults? How do you sleep with this? Also, what is this food?! ”

Listening to Gonggong Huang's words, Zuo Ye's heart suddenly rose with a strong hope.

Does this attitude mean that His Majesty and the Queen Mother have not given up on him, and the Queen Mother issued an order just to perfunctory King Jing in order to temporarily calm down the people's grievances?

As soon as Huang Gonggong's voice fell, a jailer hurriedly brought a clean futon and a table of delicious food.

At this time, where did Zuo Ye have the heart to eat, he just wanted to quickly understand what the attitude of the emperor and the queen mother was.

"Gonggong Huang, Your Majesty, he ......" Zuo Ye asked tentatively.

Gonggong Huang sighed and said: "Your Majesty is also having a headache for your affairs now, I can't eat well or sleep well in the past few days, and I have been having a headache about how to deal with this matter." ”

"Then Your Majesty has now thought of a solution?" Zuo Ye asked Gonggong Huang with a touch of expectation.

Gonggong Huang nodded, "Well, Your Majesty did think of a solution, so he let the minions come immediately." ”

Then Huang Gonggong said: "Adults eat first, you eat first, you eat me while you say." ”

"Okay." Zuo Ye did not doubt that he had him, and he was indeed hungry at this time.

I don't know what the food in the prison is, so I can't eat it.

However, when Zuo Ye picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, the movements of his hands paused, and he slowly turned his head to look at Huang Gonggong.

Huang Gonggong had been waiting for Zuo Ye to move his chopsticks to eat, and his heart was about to rise to his throat, but he suddenly stopped, and Huang Gonggong was almost choked to death by the breath that was lifted.

"Why do you look at the minion like this?" Huang Gonggong asked Zuo Ye.

Zuo Ye slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and asked Huang Gonggong, "Will this meal be poisonous?" ”

Gonggong Huang's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, "What are you talking about, your majesty asked the slave to prepare it personally, how can the slave harm the adult?" You say yes, right? ”

However, after Huang Gonggong said this, Zuo Ye completely put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Since there is no problem, what is the father-in-law in his heart?" ”

Huang Gonggong said: "Weak heart? How can a minion be weak-hearted? Adults are really joking. ”

"It's better for my father-in-law to eat first, this meal is quite large, and I can't finish it alone." Zuo Ye handed the chopsticks to Huang Gonggong.
