Three days through the snow-covered mountains, if it weren't for the experience of Yushan, Mifei would definitely not be able to come, along the way, although the wolf-tooth warriors were unharmed, but the 20,000 captives sent by Murong Helian froze to death, and natural disasters were something Mifei had no way to do. The soldiers shared a lot of supplies, covered with black silk veil, to prevent snow blindness, and also to keep out the cold wind.

After three days of arduous travel, Qinglong Snow Mountain is finally in sight, about to arrive home, already safe, Mi Fei thought, since she came to visit, she couldn't just get such a little material and leave, she issued a military order: "The whole army listens to Wei Lin's order, the whole army goes home in the direction of Qinglong Snow Mountain, help me pick two hundred spirits, and follow me to the northwest direction." ”

Mi Fei and Xu Lin's thoughts are synchronized, on the other side of Qinglong Snow Mountain, the south side was penetrated by Xu Lin, the north walked through by itself, and what is in the northwest direction, I don't know yet, Mi Fei wants to go and see, she is very politically minded, Xu Lin's actions in the southwest, she knows that the emperor can't kill him if he wants to, and destroying the foundation of Mi Hua in the southwest is equivalent to destroying the backstage of Mi Guifei, and the court will definitely not tolerate him.

And Xu Lin's reputation is so famous, the emperor will definitely not be able to play Ming, he will do it to Xu Lin in secret, and what is Xu Lin's method? Using the Western Regions to support the development of Shuofang City, if this road cannot be walked, Xu Lin will be very difficult.

Unknown places will always make people afraid, and Mifei went without hesitation, the Northeast Army is gone, if Xu Lin can't develop, the Nangong branch will really be over.

But just as she was about to leave, Wei Lin shouted, "Girl, there is a situation ahead!" ”

Mifei turned around and looked in the direction of Qinglong Snow Mountain, who was galloping on horseback? She took out her monoculars, her face was pale, and said, "It's the prince, he's coming to pick us up......"

——

The snow in the capital is not as good as the northwest, it rains heartily, a group of princes play in the inner courtyard of the palace, the emperor has twenty-four sons, thirteen sons, eleven daughters, the youngest child is only three years old, Nangong Yuting looked at them, although they all called their mother, but they had no sense of family fun.

She held a scroll of poetry in her hand, written by Xu Lin, "The return of thousands of miles is less and less." Smiling, smiling with the fragrance of Lingmei. I asked Lingnan if it should be good, but he said: This place of peace is my hometown. ”

Who is the return of thousands of miles? Who is still smiling with the fragrance of Ling Mei? This place of peace is my hometown, is he talking about himself? His heart was restless, and he couldn't find his hometown.

I never thought that he was such a retributive character, the emperor sent him to the west, he must hold a grudge, but the emperor is the emperor of the world, he must consider the overall situation, I don't know if Xiaoliu understands, he must not understand, otherwise, after he comes out of the southwest, he should go back to the palace, instead of going to Shuofang City, which is not his fiefdom.

It's just that even if he is angry with His Majesty, he should always come back to see the Queen Mother!

The Spring Festival is approaching, the son is not around, and the daughter is not there, only the children born to the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, although they call themselves the queen mother, but they are not at ease.

The personal eunuch hurriedly ran to the queen's side and whispered in her ear: "Mi Hua has entered Beijing." The emperor and Concubine Mi both went out of the palace to pick them up. ”

Nangong Yuting's heart tightened, and said, "The emperor went out of the city in person?" It's doing it for me. ”

"Yes, Niangniang, the prince almost destroyed the door of Mihua in the southwest, the whole court knows that the Northeast Army is your confidence, the Southwest Beacon Road is the confidence of Concubine Mi, the Northeast Army is gone, the prince is making trouble in the Beacon Road, the court thinks that it is the prince you instructed, you have to think of a way, what should you do if Your Majesty blames it?"

Nangong Yuting snorted lightly and said: "Xiao Liu went to the southwest to see the victims, obviously he Mi Hua did it to Xiao Liu first, but they were the wicked who sued first, I want to see how he sings this bitter plan." ”

Nangong Yuting's vision is still too short, and those who know all the inside stories are naturally Zuo Qiulu and Li Panshan.

In the capital, there are already the eyes of the criminal department, the peddlers and pawns, all of them are Zuo Qiulu's agents, Zuo Qiulu went to Li Panshan's mansion to have a secret meeting, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Lord Li, I'm afraid something will happen in the capital." ”

Li Panshan also got the news and said: "It is the emperor's intention to kill the prince in the Beacon Fire Road, the prince is too strong, and he has ruined the foundation of Mihua, and everything will be blamed on the queen mother, what will Your Majesty do?" ”

Zuo Qiulu's face was gloomy and said: "I'm afraid that the queen will be convicted of instigating the prince and causing trouble in the harem, and the queen will be abolished!" ”

"The Queen? Your Majesty will? ”

"How not? His Majesty's lard is clouded, and he wants to eradicate the Nangong lineage, and now he can't move the prince, only the queen. ”

Li Panshan gasped and said, "Now His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know how powerful His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, and once the Queen is gone, I'm afraid the Central Plains Region will not be able to withstand the Prince's shocking anger!" ”

Zuo Qiulu said: "The eldest prince Xu Aotian is on the way back, and if you want to say that you have the strength to fight with His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that only the eldest prince is the eldest prince." ”

Li Panshan said: "It seems that the emperor is iron-hearted. Is there anything that Brother Zuo can do? ”

"There is a way, but I can't!" Zuo Qiulu said: "I am a notorious evil official, and this matter can only be turned around if Brother Li reports it to the Prime Minister." ”

Li Panshan saw the document sealed with fire clay that Zuo Qiulu brought and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is sent by the prince's people, it records that Mi Ping made a provocation outside the city of Beacon County, Mi Hua plotted to assassinate, and went to ask for a handwritten letter from the Huotou Daoist, in the city, Mi Hua assassinated Chen Ziang, and led the troops out of the city to kill all the things, no matter how big or small, it was written on it, as long as the prime minister can fight for reason in the court, the queen can be saved."

Li Panshan asked in a low voice: "Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, we are like this, is it against human ethics?" ”

Zuo Qiulu said: "The emperor has no way, for the sake of the people of the world, it can only be like this, last summer the world was flooded, the people were poor, hundreds of millions of people in the world froze to death in one winter, only Shuofang City, so far, no one has frozen to death and starved to death." ”

Li Panshan nodded heavily and said, "I'll present it to the Prime Minister." ”

Zuo Qiulu hurriedly left the Tingwei Mansion, not daring to stay longer, the capital was turbulent, there were palaces everywhere, and the eagle guards were everywhere, if it wasn't for the guidance of the prince, no one would be able to escape the emperor's eyes, if he didn't go back, let the emperor know that he was with Li Panshan, and he had to say that he was a party and a selfish business.

Zuo Qiulu returned to his prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and sat in front of Sima Xiang's cell, since returning to Beijing, he ate and lived in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, in order to protect Sima Xiang, although he couldn't understand what Sima Xiang's role was, but the prince's order, he had to carry it out to the letter.

Sima Xiang's appearance was very miserable, as a master, his pipa bone was pierced with an iron hook, so that he could not use the qi in his body, eating and drinking were feeding, he saw Zuo Qiulu coming back, and asked: "Brother Zuo is in a hurry, I'm afraid that something big has happened to the prince or the queen." ”

Zuo Qiulu leaned on the bed casually and said: "You said you, we all think that you are the queen's person, who would have thought that you are the emperor's black hand, you can go to your prison, don't care." ”

Sima Xiang said: "The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, you are so disobedient to His Majesty the Emperor, there is no good end." ”

"You are loyal to the king, in the end, it is a substitute for the end of the ghost, I remember the prince said a sentence, life is lighter than the feathers, there is heavier than Mount Tai, although I don't know where Mount Tai is, but let's just say, born once, always have to be vigorous, the prince also said, life as a hero, death is also a ghost, you die like this, unjust?"

Sima Xiang sighed and said, "A companion is like a tiger!" ”

Zuo Qiulu said: "My colleagues have been looking down on each other for many years, I know where my problem is, I like girls, everyone avoids me, I don't look down on you, it's all because you don't have any bones on your body, a lot of age, when will your bones grow?" relied on the whiskers to become the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he really didn't do a single thing about personnel. ”

Sima Xiang's emotions became agitated and shouted, "Why don't you have bones? How come I don't have bones? ”

Zuo Qiulu got up, opened a pile of files, and said, "Sima Xiang, you are an orphan, you have been herding cattle since you were a child, you were poor at that time, right?" I heard that as soon as the cow pulled out the, you stepped into it, it was cold, you have been beaten, but you never dared to fight back, so you were drugged in the water, it was also a good fate, you got a book of gunnery, and you have some talent, you are a coward, strong outside, and then it was the queen mother who saved you, fell in love with your talent, and led you to become an official, but who would have thought that it was a white-eyed wolf. ”

Sima Xiang looked up to the sky and smiled: "You actually feel my bottom so clearly. ”

Zuo Qiulu said: "I have always looked down on you, but I didn't expect you to have such a miserable childhood, you are cautious, vicious, and you are old and fine." ”

Sima Xiang snorted lightly and said: "Poor and treacherous, rich and long-term conscience, I have done bad things, but I have saved countless people in this life, I know my problems, but what about you, you can only harm people, what qualifications do you have to say about me?" ”

Zuo Qiulu looked at Sima Xiang and said, "Brother, there are countless people to be saved?" The prince fought in the ghost side, not to mention how many people he saved in the southwest, but in this disaster year, the prince saved 10,000,000 people, 100 million, how many people have you saved in your life? ”

"But the country's 80,000,000 people, 800 million, are all the emperor's people!" Sima Xiang admired the prince in his heart, so no matter what Zuo Qiulu said about the prince, he would not be sneering.

Zuo Qiulu's eyes became cold, and he said, "Do you know how many people died in the whole country in this disaster year? So far, it's 80 million! People? Hum! ”

How many people died in the world, Sima Xiang didn't take it to heart at all, he asked: "Why did the prince let you protect me?" Looking for you, what use am I to him? ”

Zuo Qiulu leaned back on the bed, looked at the few moths flying around the lamp in the cell, remembered Xu Lin's eyes as bright as stars, and said: "Then only when the prince returned to Beijing, he told you, he returned to the capital, and the world became interesting......
