In the west wing of the courtyard, Ge Yiyan had been kneeling on the ground for half an hour, and Murphy had closed his eyes and leaned on the soft collapse, never looking at him directly.

Jin Yuncheng put down the teacup and got up to salute Mo Fei: "My lord, I am angry, General Ge will act impulsively for you, and the punishment will be punished, so let him get up first." ”

Murphy still ignored him.

"Fortunately, Your Majesty has complete trust in the Lord and General Ge to escape the catastrophe, and in the future, General Ge will have to be cautious and cautious, and he must not miss the overall situation because of his own selfish interests!" As he spoke, he looked at Ge Yiyan and motioned for him to hurry up and beg for mercy.

Unexpectedly, instead of begging for mercy, Ge Yiyan was arrogant: "Uncle is above 10,000 people alone, who dares to suspect that it is him, I just showed up there, who dares to doubt me?" It's a pity that he didn't wait for His Majesty, even Zuo Qing ......" Speaking of this, he was very regretful: "It's all that Su Yan's bad thing, if she hadn't suddenly appeared and discovered our ......"

"Do you still think it's a pity?" Mo Fei opened his eyes suddenly and stared at him coldly: "You should thank Su Yan's men for showing mercy, and you should thank Jinyun City for rushing to help you solve the remaining dead soldiers in time, otherwise, as long as you leak a little news, as long as they capture a person alive, you will wait for your father to collect the body!" ”

"What is Uncle afraid of?!" Ge Yiyan straightened his waist: "Your Majesty believes in you and gives you supreme power, but these rights don't have to kneel down in the face of those royal families!" This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the prince and His Majesty are both in the hunting grounds, as long as we set up a good game, God will not know it! ”

Jin Yuncheng secretly snickered. This singer has well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and he naively thinks that it is so easy to seek power and usurp the throne. Just one Xuan Court by His Majesty's side is enough to defeat a hundred, not to mention the emperor's dead soldiers who are hidden in the accompanying Praetorian Guard. Once Murphy rebels, I don't know how many dead soldiers will be swords, a hundred, a thousand, and even half of them will be His Majesty's people, except for Emperor Rong himself, I'm afraid no one knows. Murphy has been by Emperor Rong's side for so many years and has not found out which ones are the real Praetorian Guards, and which ones are the dead soldiers planted by Emperor Rong, so of course he does not dare to act rashly.

What's more, Murphy doesn't seem to want to rebel, isn't it better to be under one person and above ten thousand?

"Presumptuous!" Murphy got up angrily and kicked him to the ground: "Who taught you?" Are your subordinates still the eldest grandson Xi? ”

The two people present were surprised, "What do you mean, uncle?" Ge Yiyan asked in horror.

Murphy gave an order to the guards outside, only to see a young man in men's clothes brought in, who was the eldest grandson Xi.

"The eldest grandson girl doesn't study hard in the academy, but she came to the hunting grounds, I guess I can't get out of it, right?"

Ge Yiyan suddenly panicked: "Uncle misunderstood, the eldest grandson girl came over, I didn't know it......"

"Misunderstanding?" Murphy Peel smirked, "Guess where I caught her?" ”

Ge Yiyan closed his eyes, very disappointed.

"You are really my good nephew, and you," Murphy glared at the eldest grandson, "In the past, I thought that you were still young, and I didn't care about you, even if you did anything wrong in the academy, you would turn a blind eye. But this place is different, this is the royal hunting ground, Your Majesty and the hundred officials are here, you don't have permission to trespass, and you want to kill people! Changsun Xi, Changsun Xi, your words and deeds represent the reputation of the Changsun family, how can you be so ridiculous! ”

Changsun Xi has always been most afraid of Murphy, so he turned pale with fright and didn't say a word.

Ge Yiyan sneered, opened his eyes and looked at Mo Fei, and said, "After all, my uncle is still afraid, don't worry, if I find out, I will not implicate my uncle!" ”

"Evil obstacles! If you still have some brains, give me a good place to keep to yourself, and when I get back from the hunt, I'll have to think about your place. ”

"What do you mean, uncle?"

"I've been a minister for decades, and I've been on thin ice for decades, and I don't dare to take a wrong step, I can't be ruined in your hands, you know?"

Ge Yiyan lowered his head and wept in despair.

In his eyes, Zuo Qing is his closest relative, and he is just a person with a foreign surname, in the final analysis, he still doesn't believe in himself.

After Jin Yuncheng left, Ge Yiyan chased after him and said coldly, "How can Mr. Jin speak for me?" ”

"They all do things for adults, so naturally they have to be of the same mind."

"Look, you're laughing at me, right?"

Jin Yuncheng stopped and sneered: "If General Ge has the ability, he can do something to make the adults believe what you say, what are you doing to me here?" ”

Ge Yiyan suddenly became alert: "What do you mean? ”

"I've worked with the general for many years, let alone me, even anyone in the academy can see that you regard Zuo Qing as an enemy. Since you think Zuo Qing is disloyal, why don't you use your brains to prove that it is nothing to fall into someone else's trap on a rampage? ”

"You also think about the things in the back mountains... Was it planned by Zuo Qing? ”

Jin Yuncheng shrugged, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. Ge Yiyan was helpless in his heart, why did even Jinyun City find out, but his uncle still believed Zuo Qing.

On the way back, the more Ge Yiyan thought about it, the more angry he became, he didn't see the road, he hit his head on the trunk of a tree, and turned around to avoid it, but he saw Zuo Qing's figure walking towards him, and the smile on his face seemed to be laughing at him, making him nauseous.

Zuo Qing arched his hand at him and said, "General Zuo has been reprimanded?" ”

Ge Yiyan snorted coldly and cursed: "Dog ears! ”

Zuo Qing smiled modestly: "You don't have to be too sad, your father-in-law still has high expectations for you, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that you're still too light after all, and you never know what the enemy thinks, so you can't kill me all the time."

Ge Yiyan looked at him vigilantly, took a step back, drew his saber and said, "Do you know how dangerous what you say now?" You face me alone, there is only one way to die! ”

Zuo Qing smiled lightly: "You can't kill me, I have something in my hand, it's enough to deal with you, I want to see what you can do to take it." ”

Ge Yi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Radical method? Do you think I'm going to be fooled?! ”

"Yes or no, in short, tonight, I will give you one last chance, you can get it, I will spare you once, if you can't get it, I will present it to Your Majesty tomorrow, and at that time, I will not intercede for you." With that, he waved his arms and turned back.

Ge Yiyan was so angry that his whole shoulders were shaking, and the sword in his hand made a buzzing sound.

"Zuo Qing, you wait, you wait!"

A few hours have passed since the departure from the courtyard, and Emperor Rong has sent troops to patrol, and the fire is lit all night.

A group of black-clad masked men appeared in the moonlight and climbed into the courtyard.

The next day, Su Yan was lying lazily on the couch, and before he was fully awake, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and Yan Zhen pushed the door in, as if something big had happened.

"What else do you sleep, big news!"

Su Yan propped up his upper body and looked at him sleepily: "Your Majesty has taken a fancy to a girl where, or have you been taken a fancy to by which girl?" ”

"You didn't hear anything last night?" He was tricky, Su Yan was impatient to hear it, and asked him to hurry up. Yan Zhen originally wanted to sell Guanzi, but she didn't think she would buy it, so she could only talk to her in one go: "Last night, there were a few killers in the place where Zuo Qing lived, and they were all cut indiscriminately, but I didn't expect that people were not cut, but this group of fools was caught, who do you guess is the leader of this group of killers?" ”

"Who? You? ”

Yan Zhen rolled his eyes: "I was so idle that I went to kill Zuo Qing, what does it matter to me whether he dies or not!" Let me tell you, this leader is none other than Zuo Qing's sworn enemy Song Yiyan! ”

"Who?!" Su Yan jumped up in shock, and asked again in disbelief: "You said Ge Yiyan?" What did he do when he killed Zuo Qing? ”

"Ge Yiyan has always hated Zuo Qing, and it is not surprising that he can do this kind of thing, after all, Zuo Qing usually lives in a simple place, and is protected by the guards of the academy, Ge Yiyan can't hurt him, but this time is different, although there are guards in the hunting ground, they are all Praetorian Guards brought by Ge Yiyan, and they are all his own people, do you think he can let go of this opportunity?"

"That's strange, since it's all his people, why did he still miss it?"

Yan Zhen also felt strange and said, "Maybe...... Zuo Qing was clever and calculated that someone wanted to kill him...... Right! He will definitely count, otherwise how could he have survived until now with his sick seedling! ”

Su Yan thought to himself: Ge Yiyan gambled on his future to kill a nasty person, no matter how he thought, unless, someone calculated him.

Although it was not the emperor who killed, but dared to kill people in the hunting ground, the plot was also extremely bad, and the criminal department interrogated Ge Yiyan overnight with Nangong Que, the secretary of Dali Temple, but he did not dare to torture because of the face of Prince Zheng and Mo Fei. After a long time, Ge Yiyan insisted that he was framed by someone, and he had no choice but to go to Emperor Rong truthfully.

When the eldest grandson Wuzheng entered the palace, he happened to see Prince Zheng and Zuo Qing sitting facing each other, and the hall was silent, and the eldest grandson Wuzheng cleared his throat and bowed to Emperor Rong: "See Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Rong put down the scroll and looked up at him, his temperament of not being angry and arrogant was almost integrated with the dragon chair he was sitting on. "How's it going?"

"The suspect did not confess and ...... I insisted that someone had framed him. ”

"Who?"

The eldest grandson Wuzheng glanced at the person beside him who had been kneeling with an expressionless face, and said, "The suspect has a tight mouth and doesn't say anything." ”

Emperor Rong sneered: "He is weak-hearted, and he doesn't know who to plant." first set up an ambush on the hunting ground, and then led the killer to sneak into the other courtyard, his purpose is already very clear, in addition to him, who else hates Zuo Qing in the whole Ruoshui? ”

"Your Majesty means ...... The assassination in the hunting ground was also done by Ge Yiyan, and he wanted to kill the left master twice? The eldest grandson Wuzheng realized that he was derelict in his duties, and hurriedly prostrated on the ground: "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister is ashamed!" ”

"This is all Zuo Qing's reminder, it was he who found something suspicious, if he hadn't paid attention, I'm afraid I don't know what trouble will happen to this hunt!"

Zuo Qing sighed slightly: "Weichen and General Ge are both the closest people to their father-in-law, and Wechen has been tolerating him for many years, but I didn't expect him to hate Weichen to the core." He pretended to be distressed, and said, "This case has ended, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who discovered the suspicion and caught the real culprit, and Weichen did not dare to ask for credit." "Him

Emperor Rong nodded at him with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Ge Zheng, hesitated for a moment, and asked him, "I don't know what the prince thinks?" ”

Ge Zheng is calm and calm, and he doesn't seem to care about the life and death of this son, "The rebel son sinned and deserved to be punished." ”

"If the prince intercedes, I will open the net."

"Your Majesty!" Ge Zheng got up and bowed to him: "As a courtier, you should bow down and die!" Unexpectedly, this rebel took the opportunity of hunting and took advantage of his power to assassinate the left palm twice, which is really a big rebellion! What he did ruined the reputation of the singer who had worked hard for decades, and the minister ...... There is no such son! ”

When Prince Zheng said that he was excited, his eyes were bloodshot and even more haggard. Emperor Rong couldn't bear to stimulate him anymore, ordered the eunuch to help him down, and instructed the eldest grandson: "Hold Ge Yiyan in custody first, and return to Beijing for retrial after the hunt." ”

In the dead of night, Buddha stood under the eaves gloomily, and when he saw Su Yan going out, he didn't greet him, and looked at the dark night by himself. Su Yan suddenly felt ashamed when she saw her so sad, because when she heard that Ge Yiyan was arrested, she was still gloating, and she didn't think about what kind of situation Ge Yiyan's behavior would put the singer in, once Ge Yiyan was charged with assassination, Prince Zheng's position would inevitably be impacted. She was about to comfort a few words, but Xilou came over, only to see him look distressed, and said: "Your Majesty has detained Ge Yiyan and plans to return to Beijing for a retrial, but the people from the Criminal Department have not given up prying open his mouth, I think he should have suffered it in the past few days!" ”

Su Yan frowned, and said angrily: "What kind of trial, it's obviously him, Your Majesty is looking at the face of Prince Mo Fei and Zheng, delaying time, and when I return to Beijing, I'm afraid it will be over!" ”

Xilou hugged his arms and said to her: "Of course, Your Majesty will judge the two elders of Rongguo lightly, but after this incident, he has lost trust in him, and it is impossible for him to continue to serve as General Zuo." ”

"Ge Yiyan has bad intentions, and this is also the punishment he deserves." She suddenly remembered something, "eh", and asked Xilou, "Who will replace the vacant position?" ”

Xilou said: "Naturally, he is his direct subordinate and Murphy's protégé." ”

Su Yan sighed, "Changing the soup without changing the medicine, it's boring!" ”

When Buddha heard the laughter of Xilou and Su Yan, his heart suddenly tingled, and he turned around and entered the door.

Xilou looked at Buddha and sighed, "Although she is arrogant, her heart is better than anyone else, Ge Yiyan hurt her like this, and he is still worried about his life and death." ”

Su Yan looked at him suspiciously, "She is sorry for her father and sorry for the singer family, you and she have known each other since childhood, why can't you see it?" ”

Xilou was a little at a loss for a moment, and laughed dryly, "Oh, maybe I care too little." ”

Su Yan stared at him, feeling that something strange was going on in this West Building.

In the prison with heavy soldiers, Ge Yiyan seemed to be very leisurely, shaking his legs and whistling, ignoring Zuo Qing's visit at all.

"Do you know why I'm trying to hurt you?"

Ge Yi spat out, "You're a thief, aren't you afraid that I'll tell my uncle?" ”

Zuo Qing's face was calm, and he asked him with a smile: "Do you have evidence?" ”

Ge Yiyan was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I didn't, but one day, I will make you cry and beg me to let you go!" ”

"Oh? You'll have to get out of here first. ”

"My father is Prince Zheng, my uncle is Shang Shuling, and his power is better than that of the prime minister of the old dynasty, Your Majesty doesn't dare to do anything to me! At most, I just lost this seat, so what? As long as I live, as long as my uncle is still a Shangshu master, one day I can make a comeback, you Zuoqing is just a dog, a wild dog raised by my uncle! ”

There were only a few candles in the small prison, the cold wind penetrated through the crack in the door, the candles flickered a few times, extinguished a few times, Zuo Qing's face looked extremely cold in the dim light, he took a few steps back and turned around, and said to him: "I am thinking about my father-in-law, you are good, but I came to trap him in danger, today I am not here to harm you, I am to help you." ”

Ge Yiyan laughed, "You think I'm stupid! You know best what you exchanged with the West Building that night, you borrowed this thing to let me fall into the trap, I admit it, but I tell you, as long as I go out, I will not let you go! ”

Zuo Qing's indifferent face did not change at all, and he was terribly calm, "Or a sentence, what about the evidence?" Even if there's something you want, it's just for you. He smiled and said, "Although we don't see each other often, I also know how much you want me to die, and I have your sword hanging over my head, so I have to be careful no matter what, don't you?" Finally, I would like to remind you that Rong Guo is the world of Emperor Rong, the world is the world of all living beings, not that you can change it if you want to change, if you really want to turn the tide, then you must not only be clear about your own strength and the current situation, but also look at the possible situation in the future, short-sighted people can only be at the mercy of others, just like now. ”

Ge Yiyan snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore him. Zuo Qing seemed to think of something, and asked again: "I'm curious, since you insisted that someone framed you in front of Lord Changsun, why didn't you just say it was me?" ”

He was a little helpless, but more angry: "You have been in business for many years, so that everyone believes that you are loyal to your uncle, if I really insist that it is you, who will believe it?" ”

"It's a pity that those killers were killed by you, otherwise you still have someone to blame, but don't worry, I will intercede for you and save your life."

Ge Yiyan smiled disdainfully: "The left palm is so kind, I'm afraid there is a conspiracy, right?" He suddenly rushed up and grabbed the cell door, "Are you my father's man?" ”

"It's not."

"Then why betray your uncle? What exactly do you want? ”

Zuo Qing looked at him hysterically, just smiled and said nothing, at this time Nangong Que came in and greeted Zuo Qing, "I heard that Zuo Qing is here, so I'll come to see if there is anything to help." ”

"The lower official is just here to ask him why he wants to kill me." Zuo Qing said with a smile.

Nangong Que glanced at Ge Yiyan, and felt a little resistant in his heart, so he asked Zuo Qing to leave with him, and only said when he got outside: "Last time, I never had the opportunity to personally thank the master in charge, speaking of that incident, haha, I thought that the position of Dali Siqing could not have any hope with me, but I didn't expect that a few words from the master in charge could make me rise from the squire to the head of the first division, and now I think about it like a dream." ”

Zuo Qing smiled and said: "It's just to use my little face to let the people in the court mention you more when His Majesty has a headache about the choice of Dali Siqing, it's really a gesture, this is still your own usual accumulated connections, and the ministers will be willing to nominate you." ”

"Huh! The master in charge is my Bole, and this kindness is difficult to repay in eternal life! Presumably, the person in charge will have a place for me in the future, but you're welcome! ”

Zuo Qing's face couldn't see the exact expression, he only smiled indifferently, "Lord Nangong is serious, we will be friends in the future, between friends, there is only one word of help, but there will be difficulties in the future." ”

Nangong Que smiled, already comprehended.
