Chapter 19: Questioning

"What?" The emperor immediately shouted again, and then began to pace back and forth in the hall, muttering to himself, "It has something to do with the Taifu Mansion and the Regent's Mansion?" ”

When Fu Yin Zhang Shaofu heard the emperor's self-talk, he immediately explained: "Actually, it is related to the family of Zhang Zhizhou, the old father-in-law of the imperial prince.

Because most of these poisoned villagers were from Zhangjia Town, a suburb of the capital, and Weichen sent people to track down the venom that hurt people, it disappeared near the Lanyuan Restaurant in Zhangjia Town, thus losing the clue. This Lanyuan Restaurant is the property of Zhang Zhizhou's family......"

The latter words are self-evident, the old man has something at home, and the Taifu can't get rid of it.

"What about the connection with the Regent's Palace?" The emperor frowned and looked at Zhang Shaofu.

Zhang Shaofu said that the bride was changed on the day of the wedding of the regent palace and the strange situation in the house one after another, so the house invited the master to go to exorcise ghosts and solve spells, and so on, and said at the end: "Because this matter involves the emperor's two ministers, Weichen knows that it cannot be underestimated, so he specially came to ask the emperor to show him, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Shaofu only buried his head in reporting, and then wanted to wait for the emperor to show him, but he didn't hear the emperor speak, so he raised his head.

I saw that the emperor's face was already pale, his eyes were wide open, and he was simply staring at him viciously.

Zhang Shaofu didn't know what he said wrong to make the emperor so angry, and said cautiously in a trembling voice: "Emperor, emperor, you, you take care of the dragon's body...... Micro, micro-minister......"

The emperor clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed the case hard, and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and said, "I know, you go back to wait for the decree first." ”

Fu Yin Zhang Shaofu saw that although the emperor was so angry for some reason, but fortunately, this anger did not burn on him, and immediately obeyed the order and left here.

As soon as Zhang Shaofu left the main hall with his front feet, the chief eunuch Hao Gonggong came out with great eyes, and he walked to the emperor's side and comforted: "The emperor is angry, and the emperor takes care of the dragon's body." I don't know the reason for this at the moment, and it would be too cost-effective for the emperor to get angry and hurt his dragon body because of this. ”

The emperor listened to his words, his anger eased a little, and he turned his head and asked Gonggong Hao, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Gonggong Hao smiled flatteringly, and flattered him with his unique voice: "Back to the emperor, according to the slaves, isn't all this in the emperor's hands?" Although there is such a thing as a change of relatives in this regent palace, doesn't it also disturb their peace? ”

In fact, Gonggong Hao also understood that the matter was not going according to plan at the moment, but in order to temporarily calm the emperor's anger, he had to talk about it first.

Whether the matter is in the emperor's grasp or not, the emperor knows very well in his heart.

That's right, the biggest driving force behind the marriage between the Taifu Mansion and the Regent Mansion is the emperor of the current dynasty - Huo Tianyi, the Emperor of the Great Apocalypse.

In all dynasties, which full-fledged emperor is still willing to have a regent by his side?

A regent who turns his hands into clouds and rains can endanger imperial power at all times.

Huo Weilou, the regent of the dynasty, is a person with extraordinary power and extraordinary ability, he is really one person under ten thousand people.

But even on the top of Huo Weilou, Emperor Daqi has always regarded him as a thorn in the flesh in his eyes, and he always wants to get rid of him.

Emperor Mingli Daqi was not completely sure, so he planned to secretly solve the time bomb around him.

After thinking about it, Emperor Daqi hit the abacus on the head of Lan Shiqing of Taifu Mansion.

The Taifu family is the sworn friends of Emperor Daqi, but they are just beautiful and noble on the surface, but in fact, they are already going downhill and declining, but they are just holding on to a faΓ§ade.

Lan Shiqing's daughter Lan Qingruo is charming and smart and motivated, and has the reputation of "one of the two talented women in the capital".

Emperor Daqi asked Taifu Lan Shiqing to first test his attitude towards Huo Weilou, but he didn't expect Lan Shiqing to share the same hatred with him, and gladly agreed to help the emperor.

After the two of them secretly made some plans, Lan Shiqing took the initiative to find Huo Weilou, wanting to keep a matchmaker for his daughter, but Huo Weilou ignored it several times.

At that time, Emperor Daqi was also secretly anxious, but he was somewhat afraid of Huo Weilou, and he was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he was not in a hurry to show up on this matter.

Later, this matter was somehow known to Huo Weilou's mother, the old princess, the old princess seemed to value the Taifu Mansion very much, and was quite satisfied with Lan Qingruo, although the old princess had a very cold relationship with Huo Weilou on weekdays, she even began to persuade Huo Weilou to agree to this family affair, and continued to increase pressure.

With the personal pressure of the old princess, Emperor Daqi felt that it was time for him to appear as a Yue Lao who had facilitated a beautiful marriage.

In this way, with the initiative of the Taifu Mansion, the pressure of the old princess, and the impetus of Emperor Daqi, Huo Weilou finally recognized this family matter.

Next, Emperor Daqi just waited for the news from the Taifu Mansion to take the opportunity.

But, right now, is this news?

The more Emperor Daqi thought about it, the more angry he became, and it could even be said that he was furious.

Swap parents?

He picked up a stack of folds on the desk, threw them on the ground, and yelled at the chief eunuch Hao Gonggong: "Hurry up and pass Lan Shiqing to see me in the palace!" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the chief eunuch Hao Gonggong immediately nodded and went to pass on Lan Shiqing.

However, it was said that since her daughter Lan Qingruo married into the regent palace, she has been so anxious as an ant on a hot pot that she has been restless recently.

Because Lan Qingruo didn't send any news to the mansion as planned, it was not good for him to go to the Regent's Mansion to inquire directly, after all, Huo Weilou's person was not something he and others could afford to provoke.

As long as Huo Weilou didn't take the initiative to make a low posture in front of him Lan Shiqing, he wouldn't dare to put up the so-called "regent old man".

What's more, what he and Emperor Daqi planned was to get rid of Huo Weilou, in case there was a wind blowing and scaring the snake and losing everything, he couldn't control the turmoil in the world, and his entire family would be finished, so Lan Shiqing would not dare to act without authorization.

didn't wait for the news from Lan Qingruo's regent's palace, but today he waited for the news of the summons of Emperor Daqi in the palace.

Lan Shiqing was really uneasy in her heart.

Mrs. Lan was even more frightened and didn't know what to do, "What is the matter with the emperor's summons?" Didn't you just go down to court? Was there anything else in the court that hadn't been clarified just now? ”

The attitude of the people in the palace was extremely bad, which was obviously not a good thing, so Lan Shiqing was also annoyed.

He lowered his voice and scolded angrily while changing his clothes: "Who am I going to ask if you ask me?" Since Qingruo's family affair, the emperor has never talked to me about anything else.

I don't know what he thinks, just let me understand that only this one thing is the most important thing at the moment, and if this thing is not done well, our Taifu Mansion will not think about anything good. ”

After speaking, he helplessly asked Mrs. Lan with a glimmer of hope, "Isn't there any news from Qingruo's side yet?" ”

Mrs. Lan shook her head with a sad face and sighed deeply.

Because the chief eunuch Hao Gonggong was in a hurry, Taifu Lan Shiqing didn't have more time to think, and hurriedly followed him into the palace after changing his clothes.

"Weichen Lan Shiqing knocked on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

As soon as Lan Shiqing entered the hall, he didn't even dare to raise his head, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and then bowed his head and waited for the emperor's inquiry.

"Lan Shiqing, you come to explain to me, what's going on?" The emperor's voice was extremely cold and harsh.

Even the title has changed from "Aiqing" to his direct name, Lan Shiqing knew that it was really nothing good to be summoned this time, and his voice was already a little trembling with fright, "Your Majesty, the micro-ministers are panicking, the micro-ministers, the micro-ministers, the micro-ministers don't know what the emperor is referring to?" Please let the emperor make it clear. ”

"Lan Shiqing, you said you don't know what's going on, can I believe it? Yes? Swap Parents!? This kind of thing is up to you Taifu Mansion to think of! ”

The emperor's case crackled, and the teapot and teacup on it almost fell off.

At this time, Lan Shiqing dared to raise his head, no, not daring to raise it, but he was so shocked that he involuntarily raised it, and the pair of eyes almost stared out, "Your Majesty, what, what kind of family change?" Weichen really didn't know what the emperor was talking about. ”

Lan Shiqing couldn't react for a while.

The chief eunuch Hao Gonggong hurriedly came up to give the emperor a good breath, "Ouch, the emperor, don't be angry with the dragon body, the old slave begs the emperor to take care of his body, and take care of the dragon body as the first thing in everything." ”

Or that the person who can become the chief eunuch is not an ordinary person, and he always knows how to appear by the emperor's side at the right time and say something that the emperor likes to hear.

The emperor really lowered his anger a little, calmed down a little, and questioned Lan Shiqing again, "You said it at the beginning, your daughter Lan Qingruo is smart and well-behaved, you have always said that one is one, and you say that two is two, for the glory of the family and the foundation of the country, if she can become the regent princess, she will definitely be able to complete the task according to our plan."

But why did she go to Huo Ziyao's house and become Huo Ziyao's wife on the day she got married, but the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan who originally married Huo Ziyao ran to Huo Weilou's house??? ”

"What?"

Lan Shiqing heard it like five thunderbolts, and suddenly sat on the ground, sweating profusely on the top of his head, "Qingruo went to Huo Ziyao's house?" She, she, she didn't become a regent? ”

"You're still asking me, I'm asking you, what's going on?"

The emperor stared at Lan Shiqing with angry eyes, "Your Taifu Mansion is so capable, you actually take my words as child's play." Is this a joke about me?

I know that you must be selfish, afraid that something will happen to Huo Weilou, and you will feel sorry for your daughter, I have promised you, and after the matter is completed, I will definitely not treat anyone in your Taifu Mansion badly. But you have one thing on the surface, one thing behind you, you fool me like this, it's so bold! ”

Lan Shiqing was completely frightened, if the charges mentioned by the emperor really came to their Taifu Mansion, they would all be big crimes of bullying the king, not only to kill the head, but to exterminate the nine clans.

So, Lan Shiqing almost knelt down and pounced on the emperor, and said with tears, "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, you are giving Weichen 10,000 guts, and Weichen can't do the slightest thing to disobey the emperor."

The Weichen family is loyal to the emperor, and there is no second heart, which can be seen from the sky. If the emperor needs it, he will not hesitate to go to the knife mountain and go to the oil pot.

How did this family matter become like this, Wei Chen really doesn't know anything......"

After saying that, he cried out loud.

The emperor saw that what Lan Shiqing said was sincere, not like he was lying, and his tone eased down a little, "You really don't know?" ”
