Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Emperor's Tune of the Tiger Leaves the Mountain

By the time Ming Lanying knew the situation, it was already three days later when the Ming family was investigated.

Ming Lanying looked at Hebai in surprise, "The Ming family was investigated?" Why? ”

Hebai hung his feet and gnawed on the chicken legs, "Of course, it's because the Ming family dares to buy murder and kill the family members of important members of the imperial court on the street, the behavior is too bad!" ”

Ming Lanying thought about it carefully, she seemed to have missed some important news, "What about the pillars of the Ming family?" ”

Hebai was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in surprise, "My brother hasn't told you yet?" The old thief was sent to Yongzhou City by the emperor a few days ago, and now he is on the way. ”

Ming Lanying understood, "No wonder, the Ming family can't do it without a pillar." ”

"Even if they rack their brains to justify, it's useless, this time the Ming family has to be investigated and arrested, and it's useless for Prince Heng to come!" Hebai sneered, "Dare to attack you, Ming Jiazhen is also a dog jumping off the wall, she spent all her savings to buy your life, and now that the assassin organization has been cleared by my aunt and grandmother, if she knows that she has spent all this money in vain, will she be angry?" ”

Hebai gestured to Ming Lanying, "I asked them how much they received, and they said about six thousand taels, tsk!" I didn't expect Ming Jiazhen to be so rich, but it's a pity that all the 6,000 taels were taken away by my brother and confiscated! ”

Ming Lanying was happy, "I didn't expect my life to be so valuable." ”

"Sister-in-law, what are you happy about, it's only six thousand taels!" Hebai glared, "I just want to buy your life for six thousand taels, and I want to eat it!" ”

"Okay, it's not bad to be worth six thousand taels, let the Ming family know that it was Ming Jiazhen who bought the murder, and make a big fuss."

Tsurubai smiled brightly, "Okay! ”

The Ming family still thought that this was a trumped-up charge, so let them know who was involved in them, and the Ming family let the Ming family lie dormant in a low-key manner, so they wanted to wait for Prince Heng to move in the imperial city, and Prince Heng should cooperate with him to forcibly force the palace.

As a result, Ming Jiazhen bought a murder and assassinated, but he sent a knife to Ye Jielu, and the old man Ming was not there, from Yongzhou City to the capital, this time was enough for the emperor to deal with the Ming family.

As a result, two days after Minglan Ying Gangle, the golden eagle came back from a neighboring country and brought back not very good news.

"Women, there are a lot of people wearing armor gathered over there in Yongzhou City, and they are coming to this side, and the country of the master of Chunfen is often like this, is there a fight for territory, are you going to fight?"

Ming Lanying frowned, Master Ming is still on the way, Prince Heng has already ordered troops to enter Beijing?

sent the golden eagle back to the palace, called Xiao San, carefully stroked the two, and asked it to go to Yongzhou City to find out the news.

As soon as Xiao San left, Steward Wang hurriedly came over with a letter, "Mrs. Bao, it's an urgent letter from the prefect of Biansai." ”

Ming Lanying took the letter and opened it, "You go down first and get busy." ”

Steward Wang bowed his head, "There is one more thing, Snow Wolf...... Want to prepare a wolf den for a wolf cub? ”

Since the last time the wolf cub was bloodily brought into the mansion by the guards, everyone in the mansion knows that the lady has raised a snow wolf cub that will bite people to death, although the wolf cub is very obedient in the mansion, but it can't stand people's subconscious fear of the wolf, and basically no one dares to approach it.

"No, the wolf cub and Ning'er are in the same room, and they are usually by Ning'er's side, so you don't have to be afraid."

"Yes." Steward Wang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Madam, after all, the wolf cub is a beast, will it be ...... to follow the little boy every day?" Not so good? ”

When Ming Lanying heard this, she looked up at him and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, everything has a spirit, the wolf cub has been raised by Ning'er's side since childhood, they grew up together, and they won't bite Ning'er." ”

What's more, with her ability, the wolf cub is also enlightened, and after raising it for so long, she has also raised the feelings of her family, Ning'er eats, drinks and has fun with the wolf cub every day, and the wolf cub will only protect Ning'er.

Steward Wang reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the bloody wolf cub had impressed them too much.

Ming Lanying almost forgot to instruct, "It is called a big white dog to the outside world, and people can't know that it is a wolf." ”

"Yes, the little one understands."

After Steward Wang left, Ming Lanying frowned and pondered the letter, Ming Langtao rarely writes letters except for important matters, this time it is an urgent letter, Ming Lanying's heart jumped twice uncontrollably.

The letter was very short, but after reading it, Ming Lanying's face was not very good, and she hurriedly called Hebai.

"Hebai, you go to the barracks to find your brother, and if he is okay, he will come back early today."

Hebai was a little surprised, this was the first time that Ming Lanying asked Ye Jielu to come back early, and the little animal's intuition told her that something was wrong, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

Ming Lanying's lips moved slightly, and she explained in a very soft voice: "Yongzhou City is moving, Prince Heng has entered Beijing with his troops, and he is already on the way." ”

Hebai was shocked, did he directly use troops to force the palace before he talked about it? Hurriedly picked up the light work and ran out to find Ye Juelu.

The golden eagle happened to meet Prince Heng and entered Beijing with his whole army, and no one notified him of such a big battle, Ming Lanying felt a little incredible, and when Ye Jielu came back in the afternoon, he knew why no one had notified him.

Ye Jielu never doubted the news brought by Ming Lanying, thought about it and said in a low voice: "Prince Heng has bought off the officials all the way, and the speed of the army is too fast, our people don't have time to send back the news, and the news doesn't fly as fast as the golden eagle." ”

Ming Lanying bit the corner of her lip, she wanted to ask what to do, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, even if she asked, it was useless, Prince Heng brought so many soldiers into Beijing so quickly, and it would take two months no matter how fast it was.

Prince Heng is still followed by Ming Lishu, with Ming Lishu here, Ming Lishu has the ambition of the Ming family, even if Prince Heng only has seventy percent of the heart to usurp the throne, he will be blown into ten by the pillow wind blowing every day, and he will definitely fight when the time comes.

Ming Lanying took a deep breath and was silent for a long time, "In three months, the little prince will be born." ”

Ye Jielu also thought of it, and raised his hand to caress Ming Lanying's side face, "The little prince was not born well, but he will be safe, I will discuss with the emperor, don't worry." ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyes to look at him, Ye Jielu's firm eyes, as if anything would be easily solved in front of him, suddenly reminded her of a dream she had before Ye Jielu left when she was in the side stopper, Ye Jielu who suddenly fell and Hebai, who was covered in blood and unwilling to kneel.

Ming Lanying suppressed her panic and made a decision, and gently rubbed her side face against his broad palm, "Okay." ”

Ye Jielu waited until the next day to discuss the matter privately with the emperor, and the emperor was angry but could not be blatantly angry, and suppressed his emotions and went around in the study.

After a long turn, the emperor sat down in the study tiredly on the gold-inlaid dragon chair, rubbing the lifelike dragon head carved on the armrest with one hand.

"I can't figure it out, why so many people want this position that they work so hard for every day? Even if you are above 10,000 people, you can enjoy glory and wealth, but you have to soak in the study and the front court every day, and you have to worry about the responsibilities of the people of the world on your back, and you must not only worry about internal worries but also prevent external troubles every day. What's so good about this son? Uncle Huang wants me to give it to him! Why did he make a move on his own brother! Kill my father for the sake of a throne! ”

Ye Jielu listened silently, and the emperor suddenly calmed down again after venting, holding his forehead a little decadently, "...... But this is what my father left to me before he died, my father once said to me, the emperor's grandfather's favorite prince was the emperor's uncle, so he developed the emperor's uncle's pampered and arrogant temperament, everyone thought that the emperor's uncle would succeed to the throne, but in the end it was to let his father succeed to the throne as the emperor, and when his father became the emperor, one day he suddenly understood, and he was also generous and merciful to the emperor's uncle, and he has always been indulgent, except for the throne, anything can be given to him. ”

"My father is busy with government affairs every day, but he still marries a lot of concubines, some of them are just for a while, some are to stabilize the previous dynasty, after a long time, my father doesn't remember who the beloved woman was, but he has always been very clear about the responsibilities on his shoulders. Before her death, my mother often talked about what she taught me, and she probably knew that her father would pass on the throne to me. ”

"I remember every word she said clearly, she said: ancestors have guarded the country for a hundred years, so that each generation of emperors are carefully protected, to become an emperor, must have good meritocracy, have a far-sighted vision, have the world, worry about the people of the world, and put the people of the world first, so as to live up to the people's admiration and belief in the supreme ruler in their hearts."

"The greater the ability, the higher the position you sit, the heavier the responsibility on your shoulders, and you will have to pay the corresponding price for being in a position above 10,000 people." The emperor unfolded his red palm, looked at the lines in his palm, and muttered, "I don't know if Uncle Huang knows this truth?" ”

Ye Juelu bowed his head, "Prince Heng must not know this truth, if Prince Heng has the people of the world in his heart and puts the people first in everything, he will not use the silver and military salaries from the treasury to support private soldiers; It won't be blocked for so long in Yongzhou City; will not threaten the emperor with the people of Yongzhou City; They will not collude with their neighbors to borrow troops to usurp the throne! Prince Heng gathered so many soldiers to rebel, the disaster is also innocent people, chaos is also the root of the country, the ancestors and the emperor have foresight, but unfortunately Prince Heng is insatiable and does not understand this truth. ”

The emperor sighed tiredly, rolled up his sleeves and got up and walked out, "This country, all dynasties have been carefully guarding it for a hundred years, I can't let it be lost in my own hands, then I will have no shame to face my father, mother, concubine and ancestors after a hundred years...... My position was left to me by my father, if the emperor wants it, go and ask my father what the emperor means under Jiuquan. ”

Ye Jielu lowered his eyebrows, many years of brotherhood and companionship, he also knew that this emperor was not good, and empathetic enlightenment was the queen's business, he could only try his best to solve problems for him, he was the emperor's knife, where the emperor pointed to him, he cut it, and swept away the difficulties and obstacles in front of him.

In the afternoon of this day, Ye Jielu allocated a quarter of the elites in the Praetorian Guard camp to be placed in the palace to protect the Changle Palace of the queen's mother, and the defense in the capital also became a change every two hours.

The Criminal Department got Ye Juelu's order and tried their best to investigate the Ming family, even if the Ming family tried all kinds of quibbles, they couldn't get rid of one crime after another, and within five days, the Ming family was imprisoned and temporarily detained.

The people who were hiding in the capital saw that the situation was not good, and they wrote to the old man Ming, and the third old man also wanted to write a letter to ask the old man Ming to come back to fight the fire, but before the letter was sent out of the capital, they were all stopped by Ye Juelu's people.

The people of the capital found that the city patrol officials have been patrolling more frequently recently, and some gossip people have inquired more, and I don't know when there are rumors that Prince Heng is going to usurp the throne, which frightens the people.

"It's a good day, how can you say that it will change?"

"Who knows? I haven't had enough of these good days! ”

"I've heard that it's the one who can't get used to seeing our current saint being young and vigorous, so he thinks about that."

"Then this is probably the funniest joke in these years, after more than ten years of fighting, it is not easy for the country and the people to be safe, and we ordinary people have finally waited for the days of living and working in peace and contentment, so we have to do something with some moths!"

"I heard my neighbor's cousin in Yongzhou say that who was originally justifiable and able to take the throne, but was cut off by the current saint and the first emperor, and he just wanted to get his position back after so many years, I didn't say it, I heard it!"

"! The first emperor is justified, and today's saint is also justified! ”

"Oops, be quiet! Don't die! Shout so loudly what to do! ”

Hebai took a sip of tea speechlessly, she robbed a large number of letters overnight last night, and before she went back to rest, she was driven out by Ming Lanying to inquire about the news outside, she didn't expect that it had already made a fuss, and the discussions that could be heard everywhere in the teahouse couldn't suppress the curiosity and worry in their hearts.

Speaking of so much news, Hebai paid for the tea and went back to deliver the news, just when he met Xiao San flying back from Yongzhou City, he waved his hand and greeted Xiao San warmly, Hai Dongqing, who was soaring in the air, glanced at her, and the birds flew straight to the courtyard of Ming Lan Ying.

Hebai pouted, "It's really ruthless, then let's see which of our news satisfies my sister-in-law!" ”

After Xiao San opened his spiritual wisdom, Ming Lanying intended to train it, and his knowledge of people and numbers was better than that of the golden eagle, and the latest news brought back from Yongzhou City was more accurate.

Prince Heng marched with 100,000 troops, but now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, he can only regain the throne under the banner of righteousness, and the officials along the way have been bought by him, and 200,000 people go to the capital unimpeded, and the mighty battle is known to everyone.

Hebai also told her about the rumors, and Ming Lanying sighed, "This name is not very right!" It's all royal blood, if it's a famine year, maybe someone should really be with him, but now it's a good day, and his rebellion is not true. ”

"Sure enough, people can't eat too much." Tsurubai muttered, "He just has enough to eat, and when his life is too good, he begins to covet something that doesn't belong to him." ”

Ming Lanying also agreed with her words, "When you go to the barracks to play today, quietly tell your brother and ask him to quickly clean up the Ming family, and can't let the Ming family become the help of Prince Heng, I will take Ning'er into the palace to accompany the queen mother if I have nothing to do recently, I am afraid that the sky will change soon." ”

Hebai wrinkled his eyebrows, "Just Prince Heng's little people, at most to the foot of the imperial city, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm still here!" My brother said that I can take a team of people to kill the rebels at that time, and ask the emperor for an official position when the time comes! I can still support my sister-in-law in the future! ”

Ming Lanying poked her forehead funny, and shook her head, "I have your brother's protection, what do I want you to do, you can start a family by yourself, you can marry or recruit a husband in the future." ”

Hebai cocked his chin proudly, "My husband has to beat me!" ”

Ming Lanying: "......" is probably difficult to find, sad......

Ming Lanying shook her head helplessly, and couldn't help but think, "Prince Heng has been preparing for so many years, he must not be stupid to come in and force the palace directly, if it is me, the best thing to use should be inside and outside, and it is best to have my people inside and outside the palace, inside and outside the imperial city......"

Tsurubai groaned with a bitter face, "If that's the case, then what should we do?" It's all about to start, and you have to guard against the backstab of the person behind you!? ”

Ming Lanying couldn't think of a way, she was really better at reading the account books, "Ask your brother to go." ”

Tsurubai: "Oh. ”
