Yan Zhou's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he was stunned in place for a long time without reacting, and finally he was in a hurry and fainted.

A second before consciousness disappeared, people didn't understand how everything could have progressed to such a point, when everything was arranged?

What went wrong, obviously the queen had already promised to marry the daughter of the Qiao family to their Yan family.

Why did it happen in less than one night?

As soon as Yan Zhou's family fell, the Yan family opened the pot on the spot, and several daughters-in-law and juniors stood up at a loss, and horror flashed in their eyes opposite each other.

……

Today's late dismissal, almost to Mao Zheng There is no news, and the subordinate officials who originally went to the various government offices to respond to Mao saw that the hour had come, but the principal had not yet returned, so they couldn't help but crane their necks and frequently looked outside.

Under the rule of His Majesty in the current dynasty, Daye is strong and prosperous, and it has long ceased to be poor and weak and turbulent more than 30 years ago, except for the first thirteen years of His Majesty's accession to the throne, to deal with many thorny problems left by His Majesty, often when he went to the court, Chen Zheng was released, and the palace was completely lit up.

I'm afraid something big has happened.

Many people couldn't help but touch their necks, especially after the palace summoned the investigation institute, they sat upright, praying in their hearts that the offender should not be the adult of their own yamen.

The Investigation Institute is the power agency set up by the founding emperor of Daye, which is designed for His Majesty to supervise hundreds of officials, but in his later years, he realized that this institution was very powerful and feared to endanger the imperial power, and finally dissolved it after thinking.

However, after His Majesty ascended the throne now, he will be re-established.

At that time, the name of the year was Yongkang, and the wind of corruption and bribery in Daye was serious, and the first case handled by the Investigation Institute was this case, also known as the Yongkang case, many Yaxian counties were going to be killed, and everyone in the DPRK and China was in danger, after all, who did not have the following filial piety in their hands.

It wasn't until three years later that the country name entered Taihe from Yongkang, and His Majesty stopped thinking about the court, because the Taiping Society was rampant back then, and the court was fighting against each other everywhere, taking away the emperor's mind, and the bloody wind and rain lasted for another five years before finally entering the peaceful and prosperous era of Wenyuan.

The Investigation Institute handled two major cases, and finally rested the knife in his hand under the rule of Wen Yuan, and it no longer appeared so frequently in the homes of every courtier, but it did not prevent everyone from fearing them.

The news in the palace has always been strict, not to mention that they are petty officials who do not even have the qualifications of the previous dynasty, although they are nervous and frightened, they can't wait to fly to the palace with wings, so they have to sit in the official office and wait.

It wasn't until the beginning of the morning that the ministers retired from the court, and the news came out, and it was Yan Zhishou, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, that the accident occurred, which caused His Majesty to be furious in court and went directly to the investigation court.

The news is like having wings, not long after, everywhere knows, and finally put down the hanging heart, all the official offices in an orderly manner to restore the previous state, only the officials of the Taifu Temple feel that the dark clouds cover the top, eager to resign on the spot, the heart of the Amitabha Buddha, who has recited a hundred times, prayed that Lord Yan is just a godson has no way, and there is no fault on the side, especially bribery and dereliction of duty.

Jingzhong knew about it, and the people couldn't hide it, and even spread it more vividly, directly smearing Uncle Wenyuan's family to the ground, and the familiar encounters in the market were all sneaky together, not talking about whose oil cakes were delicious, but talking about the Yan family.

"Huh? Have you heard that Lord Yan of Taifu Temple is in prison? ”

“…… Which Tsubame-sama? ”

"As far as Uncle Wen Yuan, he said that in order to pay off the gambling debts of the family, he directly swallowed his daughter-in-law alive, and yesterday he forced the girl of the Qiao Yushi family to commit suicide."

"Uncle Wenyuan's family, what else do I want to do?" The man lowered his voice, "You don't have all the news from me, Wen Yuanbo not only has no way to teach his son, but also bribes the East Palace." ”

"Really?! Where did you get the news? ”

"The lord next door to me drank flower wine last night and heard the news inside."

"No wonder I said that I was sent directly to the investigation court in the morning, but there is such a thing?"

……

"There's such a thing—"

Qiao's family, Qiao Zhaoyi was stunned when he heard the news.

It was Mama Fang who came to the news, and she spoke eloquently, "Originally, when it was said that there was no way to teach the son, His Majesty just listened silently, and his expression was not good, and when he heard that someone impeached Wen Yuanbo for bribing the East Palace, he couldn't help it anymore, and when he heard that Chaozhu had fallen, the prince was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot......"

There are many ingredients in this that add oil and vinegar, Qiao Zhaoyi didn't really take it to heart, she just heard the news in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion that the Yan family had bribed the East Palace, and the action of fanning the fan couldn't help but slow down.

She stewed soup for Qiao Zhaolan in the small kitchen.

After a few seconds, it returned to its original frequency, as usual, "Wherever the news comes out, dare to say such a big contradiction." ”

"It's a trip to Taimiao Street where the accident happened yesterday, isn't it the famous Harrier City to the north? In fact, there were rumors about this matter for more than a month, saying that the Yan family gave the prince a treasure horse and many beauties. ”

Taifu Temple belongs to the Ministry of War, manages horses, and has treasure horses in hand.

But to the crown prince—

Qiao Zhaoyi thought in her heart, in order to avoid suspicion yesterday, she let people go not to Taimiao Street, but to the Zhouqiao Night Market.

She didn't let the little girl say anything, but it is human nature to love lively and gossip, compared to the family affairs of the people around her, people obviously love to listen to the dignitaries and dignitaries, and the story in it is called a twist and wonderful.

The Zhang family went to Uncle Wenyuan's house to pay the dowry, and someone saw it at night, and it was spread in many places.

Qiao Zhaoyi just asked them to say two sentences when people talked about this, one is that Wen Yuanbo's sons love gambling money and often owe money to the gambling house, the second is Zhang's dowry, and the third is that Zhang's pregnancy is uncomfortable, and he is constantly being disciplined by his mother-in-law.

The three points are all scattered, but the flow of people in the market and the gathering of several waves of people naturally add a little bit of their own imagination to the story and then pass it on.

When the news gradually took shape, another person appeared, throwing away the remaining obscure words, saying that the son of Uncle Wenyuan's family had taken a fancy to Qiao's daughter, but Qiao's daughter had already proposed marriage, so she was resentful, and cursed the Qiao family many times in private, and wanted to be a nobleman in the family in the future, forcing her to be a concubine, which caused Qiao's daughter to commit suicide on the spot after hearing it.

Qiao Zhaoyi only needed to ask different people to say a few words, and it was done, and the result was not much different from what she thought.

But looking at it now, how can it seem that there are still people around who are doing the same thing as her?

Qiao Zhaoyi waited until the tonic soup was almost there, and brought it to Yuwan Pavilion by himself, but he didn't expect that not only Qiao Zhaolan was there, but Qiao Ming was also there.

Qiao Ming is also the concubine born to Aunt Wang, and Qiao Zhaolan's brother of the same father and mother.

When Qiao Zhaoyi saw that he was also there, he immediately bent his eyes and beckoned his second brother to come and drink the tonic soup.

Qiao Ming also looks like Aunt Wang, white and handsome, and has a good temperament, not as upright as Qiao Qian, Qiao Zhaoyi was more close to him than his brother when he was a child.

The three of them met and had a warm time, and Qiao Zhaoyi learned that it was Mr. Today's rest, and Qiao Ming had just taken a day off.

Qiao Ming also looked at the injury on Qiao Zhaolan's neck, remembered the rumors during the day, and couldn't help sighing: "The news spread really fast, but it's also a blessing, coming down like this, giving you a reputation of being a martyr, the Li family doesn't dare to say anything." ”

Daye doesn't pay attention to the general defense of men and women, but people with names and surnames still have face, they are afraid that the Li family is normal on the surface, but there are pimples in their hearts.

Qiao Zhaolan has to rely on the Li family for the rest of her life.

Now it is said that Qiao's privet is a good thing, and it is also beneficial to Qiao Lang's official reputation.

In the world, only noble and upright people can raise such children.

Qiao Zhaoyi was tired and panicked last night, and got up early to boil medicine, but now people don't want to move, they sit lazily on the chair, and Qiao Ming also said with his mouth, his body is not moving, but the tone of surprise and joy has not diminished at all.

Qiao Zhaolan didn't let it go, and she didn't even care much about what the people said, she just drank tonic soup there.

Last night, she pretended to be like she didn't dare to eat more, and in the morning, there were only two mouthfuls of porridge and a bowl of bitter medicine, and her mouth was about to fade out of the bird.

Qiao Mingye: "......"

He was silent for a long time, as if he vaguely knew what the eldest brother was studying hard for.

The third sister and the fourth sister are really worrying.

If the father and brother are not competent, how can they straighten their backs and live in their husband's house in the future.

Qiao Ming also said briskly, talking about several charges in Uncle Wenyuan's mansion.

"Bribing the East Palace?" When Qiao Zhaolan heard this, she finally looked up from the soup bowl, and was no longer in the posture of a starving ghost chasing the bowl.

"It seems to be true, and the officials who impeached Wen Yuanbo even said the details clearly."

In the morning court meeting, Qiao Lang did not participate, and all the colleagues who came out were colleagues from the Qiao and Li families, but it was Yao Xiang's party who impeached him for bribery.

This was everyone's surprise, Qiao Lang didn't even expect that Wen Yuanbo's family would have such a thing.

The queen has four sons under her knees, and three of them are the fifth prince, the sixth prince and the seventh prince, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the fifth prince born by the queen, who was just established the year before last.

The sixth prince is twenty this year, and he married Yao Xiang's daughter the year before last, and this year he said that he wanted to give the mansion another place to live.

Yao Xiang is the hero who supported His Majesty's ascension to the throne, and Yao Guifei in the palace was born to the same mother, who are brothers and sisters.

It's just that the two children born to Yao Guifei didn't stand, when they were beautiful in the past, they still had grace, but when they were older, the saints were weak, and seeing that they were over forty years old, there was no possibility of having children, and the Yao family was urgent.

They wanted to send the daughter of the Yao family into the palace again, but they were blocked back by the queen neither softly nor hard.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he actually climbed the six princes.

Yao Xiang is not a virtuous minister, he has no good reputation, and he is charged with a basket of crimes, but he can't bear to win His Majesty's heart, and the impeachment excerpts are all left in the middle.

Yao Xiang's party is becoming more and more powerful.

According to today's posture, it is impossible to say when the crown prince will be able to pull off the horse and help the six princes to ascend the throne.

Qiao Zhaoyi didn't listen, his left ear went in, and he didn't know if his right ear couldn't get out, anyway, he forgot what he heard on weekdays, and he never expressed his opinion to the outside world.

But she always felt that there was a side meaning in this matter, even if Jingzhong was a petty official, every move he made had to have his own purpose, not to mention the heavenly family.

It's just that she doesn't know the cause and effect, even if there is a plate of scattered beads, she can't get it right.

But the one who spread the news on Taimiao Street, not surprisingly, was Yao Xiang's party.

As for the doubts in his heart, it was Qiao Lang who resigned at night and brought back the news from the side, which made Qiao Zhaoyi realize in horror.

Qiao Lang sat in the room after dinner, Lin waited for him to wash his feet, and Qiao Zhaoyi talked with him.

Qiao Lang soaked his feet in the hot water and hissed, "Lord Shen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I have a piece of news during the day. ”

Lord Shen, the current Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, is from the second grade, and his protégés and former officials are all over the six departments, and he is very prestigious, Qiao Lang once worshiped under his disciple and is considered a student.

"Guess what he said?"

His tone was slightly heavier, and the person leaned on the back of the circle chair, his posture relaxed but not ugly: "He said that Yan Zhishou has no talent and no political achievements, and the prince originally looked down on him, but this person once spoke in private and mentioned many times that the queen's assumption of power is a move by Si Chen and disregarding the ethics of Qiankun, and one day the prince will ascend the throne, but the queen is unwilling to let go of power, so what?" ”

Lin's heart jumped heavily, "Wasn't the Yan family promoted by the queen?" How dare they say such nonsense? ”

Even the knighthood that came to the rescue was indispensable to the operation of the queen.

Qiao Lang whispered: "I thought it was used to curry favor with the prince, and I didn't dare to say it in the open." ”

Although the prince was appointed as the prince, there has always been pressure from the queen, and he has been constrained everywhere when he does things, and after a long time, it is inevitable that he will be resentful.

Moreover, there are many nephews of the Zhou family who are officials in the court, but the queen never refuses to let them get close to the prince.

This is because he is afraid that his relatives will interfere in politics, and the prince can probably guess it, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to actually operate.

The wolf has been hanging for a long time by a piece of meat that cannot be seen but eaten, and he always has red eyes.

Lin was shocked, "Where did Lord Shen get such vague news?" ”

Qiao Lang snorted: "The queen was brought out by His Majesty, and what she is best at is the grass snake gray line, which is thousands of miles away." She set up the East Palace back then, how could she not leave a hand? ”

He sighed: "I'm afraid the news has already been delivered to the queen, otherwise it won't be revealed." ”

"I guess she was afraid that she would cool the heart of the Zhou family, and she didn't want to abolish Yan Zhishou in person, so she borrowed the hands of the ministers to abolish him, so I said that how to summon Yi'er into the palace was actually a key thing, and I didn't say anything, so I directly put us together."

When the queen was regent, the ministers were opposed, and the Yan family was the first to stand up and support it because of the Yan Zhou family.

After Qiao Lang finished speaking, his fingertips tapped on the armrest, and said to the Lin family: "It is inevitable that there will be changes in the future, let's decide Yi'er's marriage as soon as possible." ”

Lin was taken aback: "So urgent? ”

Qiao Lang: "The palace has been showing the Seventh Prince a girl recently, and what the Queen Kua Yi'er said yesterday always makes me uneasy. ”

Lin: "Huh? ”

Qiao Zhaoyi, who had been in the air for a long time, said: "...... Well??? ”

No, how did you change from Wen Yuanbo's family to the royal family all of a sudden.

Forget it, I don't want to hear it, she can't interject anyway, anyway, looking at it now, the family is unwilling, and she can always help her push it away.

Qiao Zhaoyi slowly moved out of the house, and when he retreated, he heard the sound of Qiao Lang and Lin's conversation.

Qiao Lang: "In the next few days, there may be people from the investigation institute at home, you and Lan Er Yi'er talk, don't be scared." ”

Lin sighed and responded: "Who did the case give this time?" Do you need me to step in? ”

The investigation institute is not taboo in handling meat and vegetarian affairs, and she is afraid that the girls in the family will suffer.

Qiao Lang pondered: "The presiding judge is Cen Yu, he may not accept the silver, if he comes to the house, give it to his deputy......"

Qiao Zhaoyi's heart hovered suddenly, and he couldn't care that he was still standing at the door, who was who???

Her short-lived and beautiful dream lover???

Originally, I thought that Lin would be worried when he heard that his son was a sworn enemy, but he didn't think that she would not be worried and frightened, so he blinked, and his tone changed greatly: "He's not dead yet??? ”
