"The victory of the flag and the return of the army to the DPRK are a great joy."

Fang Yu pursed his lips and smiled, rolled up his sleeves, revealing a white wrist, and used a silver fork to pluck the roasted sweet potatoes on the plate, and said again.

"Just in the coming year, the emperor will add two more heirs, and more importantly, he has a son-in-law, which can be described as double happiness, which shows that the coming year will be a good situation."

Pei Yao was also in a good mood, "I just hope that this war will end quickly, and I will suffer less soldiers and people." ”

Touching his conscience, he said that in addition to worrying about it, his food, clothing, shelter and transportation were still stable, and it was the soldiers who rushed to kill and the people on the frontier who were affected by the war.

"The emperor loves the soldiers like a son, loves the people like a son, and when the war subsides, he will definitely be able to revive the prosperity soon." Fang Yu said softly.

As he was talking, Fuxi hurriedly ran in outside, his face very anxious.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Dun sent someone to report that the sixth prince of Shangyang Kingdom was poisoned in prison and is now dying!"

"Poisoned?!" Pei Yao's sword eyebrows raised, and he immediately got up, "So many people are watching, how can they be poisoned, how did the poison get into prison!" ”

Fuxi shook his head, "Your Majesty, go and take a look, the messenger is still waiting in Jingqian Palace." ”

At this moment, Fang Yu was also surprised, and then stood up.

"The emperor should go up, state affairs are important."

Pei Yao replied in a low voice and left the Jade Palace quickly.

After his figure disappeared outside the palace gate, Fang Yu's face became a little heavier.

"How can it be poisoned, who wants to kill the six princes, seeing that the two countries are about to cease war and negotiate peace, at this moment, the six princes of Shangyang Kingdom are gone, wouldn't it be easy to have changes."

"Yes, the Shangyang Kingdom gathered a large army to declare war before, just because the sixth prince was captured, it can be seen that the king of Shangyang loves this son."

Qingrong stood beside her, and frowned.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, turned around and went back indoors.

"If you can send poison to the prison of the Criminal Department, this sixth prince is still detained alone, and he can't do it without any connections."

"But who would do that?" Yan Wei was puzzled.

Fang Yu shook his head, "I can't guess for a while, let people listen to some news from Jingqian Palace, I always feel that this matter is strange." ”

The two maids nodded, also with solemn expressions.

At that time, in the imperial study, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, King Dun and Prime Minister Lu Cheng were all there.

When the four monarchs and ministers met, their faces were solemn.

"How are people doing now?"

"The injury was temporarily controlled, but the toxicity was too strong, and the fear of the murderer was too auspicious, and Lang Zhong outside was not as skilled as the Tai Doctor."

King Dun stepped forward to reply.

Hearing this, Pei Yao directly ordered, "Let Guo Miaochun go, Hong Zheng, go and invite someone." ”

"Yes." Hong Zheng gave up.

Hurry up and rush to the Tai Hospital to ask Guo Yuan for a verdict.

It can also be seen that the emperor wants to ensure that the sixth prince of Shangyang Kingdom does not die.

"The minister has sent someone to strictly check Lin Cong's diet, but there are no problems, but Lin Cong's eating and drinking are all made by the prison alone, except for these, he has no side entrance."

Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped forward and reported in a deep voice.

This Lin Cong is the name of the six princes of Shangyang Kingdom.

Prime Minister Lu frowned, "Will there be a situation where poison is placed in the rice and vegetables separately, and it is not poisonous separately, and after eating it at the same time, it will be poisoned in the body." ”

"As the prime minister said, there have been examples in the past, so the lower officials have ordered someone to check it, but make sure that there is no problem when the food is delivered." The Criminal Department is still the same.

"So if there's a problem with the food, it's in prison." Pei Yao said coldly, "Can the jailer who delivered the food be arrested and interrogated?" ”

King Dun nodded, "I have already ordered someone to try it, and the result has not yet been released." ”

"Do your best to save people's lives, and check all those who can come into contact with him, and also in the cell, and don't let go of the slightest." Pei Yao ordered in a deep voice.

Now that the war situation has finally stabilized, and our army has an advantage, we must not let any more things happen because of the life and death of a hostage.

Such a small episode made Pei Yao, who was originally in a good mood, now slightly irritable again.

But it's useless to rush now, you can only wait for the result.

At the same time, there was bad news again in the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Desperately trying to bring Qin Guogong's body back from the enemy's hands, Qin Guogong's eldest son, Huo Mingxu, died of serious injuries.

At that time, Huo Mingxu was hit by several arrows in his body, and he came back by fighting in one breath, even if there was a golden silk soft armor to protect the vital point, but there were too many wounds on his body, too much blood loss, and the north was extremely cold, so he still didn't hold it after all.

At that time, Qin Guogong's body had just left for Kyoto for burial, Huo Mingxuan took care of his father's funeral, and before he could slow down for many days, he knelt in front of his eldest brother's couch with red eyes.

Before Huo Mingxu passed away, when he returned to the light, he took his younger brother's hand and explained the northern Xinjiang city defense and military affairs one by one.

"Let my mother send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, it's my unfilial piety, after your class teacher returns to the court, kowtow to my mother for me, your sister-in-law is so strong, I'm gone, she raises a pair of children, it's even more difficult, eldest brother, please take care of them for me, this strand of hair, you bring her, I can't accompany her in this life, I will make up for it in the next life."

"Big brother!"

Huo Mingxuan pressed his forehead against the back of his eldest brother's hand, and his tears were wet.

After a while, the hand that had been holding him tightly suddenly let go.

Liu Qin was by his side, silent, but his eyes were slightly red.

He really knew that in this war, although the eldest prince of the Huo family did not have many exploits in killing the enemy, he was really the rear support of the entire army.

If the rear is unstable, how can the front line fight?

Putting away his grief, Huo Mingxuan immediately arranged for his eldest brother's cronies to send his eldest brother's body back to Kyoto.

The scorching cold wind is like a knife that cuts bones, and it hurts people's faces.

Huo Mingxuan and Liu Qin stood side by side, and the lights not far away were the Shangyang army encamped.

"The enemy of the country and the family, I will win this battle."

His tone was calm, but his eyes were burning with rolling anger, like a fire about to burn out the battlefield.

Liu Qin was silent, only took the pot containing the liquor at his waist, poured it violently, and handed it to him again.

Huo Mingxuan took it and raised his head to take a big sip.

It didn't look like drinking, it was more like drinking the blood of the enemy.

And it is such a group of people, the battle situation exchanged for flesh and blood, but in the capital, there are people who want to shake it.

Pei Yao stayed awake all night, and finally waited for news from the Criminal Department in the second half of the night.

said that it was the jailer who delivered food to the six princes of Shangyang Kingdom.

The poison was not in the food, but was smeared on Lin Cong's wound by him.

In dealing with such prisoners, it is common for the jailer to occasionally beat and scold a few words, and no one cares.

The jailer deliberately pinched the wound on Lin Cong's arm when he was pulling, and the poison hidden in his fingernails was stained on the other party's wound.

But when asked why he wanted to kill, he said that it was because he used to be a family member of the Duke of Qin, and later became a jailer in the Criminal Department, and heard that the Duke of Qin was killed, so he wanted to kill the six princes of the Shangyang Kingdom to avenge the Duke of Qin.

But this answer, Pei Yao didn't believe it.

It's just that there is no way to believe it, the jailer actually took advantage of the unpreparedness, grabbed the torture instrument, and committed suicide.
