"That's what they wanted! Alas, that's the idea......"

Leng Yiqing locked himself in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, constantly beating his aching forehead with his hand, while constantly muttering regretfully. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

From the moment he learned that the Jingzhao Mansion had posted the notice, the Zuo Xiang's feelings began to be bad, as if the headache of the previous Jingzhao Mansion Yin Duan had now transferred to him, and the illness became more and more serious.

At this time, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and Su Xiangzhu, the wife of the left minister, walked in with a carved tray.

Putting the tray in his hand on the table on the side, Su Xiangzhu picked up the white porcelain bowl placed in the tray, walked to the husband who was still pounding his head gloomily, and said softly: "My lord, drink this medicine first, and my head won't hurt so badly." ”

"This Pu Qing is really a character!" Leng Yiqing took the medicine bowl absentmindedly, and shook his head with a sigh, "What I didn't expect, he actually saw it clearly, and he acted so quickly! It seems that I really underestimated him in the past, and only regarded him as a treacherous villain with both ends of the head and the right and left, but I didn't expect this person to have his own hills and valleys in his heart, and he was by no means as mediocre and inactive as he showed in front of people." Alas, this is really a wrong move, and you lose all the games!

Su Xiangzhu couldn't help but smile when she saw her husband looking depressed, and at the same time raised her hand to signal him to drink the medicine quickly.

Leng Yiqing was stunned, then realized his gaffe, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, raised his head and drank the medicine.

Su Xiangzhu took the empty bowl in her husband's hand, put it back in the tray, and then slowly came to the empty chair on the side and sat down, and said with a smile: "No matter how clever Duan Puqing is, he is just a small mansion Yin, but my husband is the left minister of Dayu, and he is the chief assistant of the court." Even if he was overlooked for a while and was taken advantage of by others, with his husband's wisdom, he would definitely be able to pull back a game quickly, so how could he admit defeat so easily?"

Leng Yiqing just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If the opponent is someone else, I will always find an opportunity to fight back, but now that I have to face the emperor, how can I not admit defeat!"

Su Xiangzhu was shocked when he heard this, "This case actually alarmed the emperor?"

Leng Yiqing couldn't help but snort coldly, and said, "I'm afraid that this case was instructed by the emperor!, otherwise how could Duan Puqing have such courage to dare to go against the people of the Yan family!"

Su Xiangzhu couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why does the emperor want to target the people of the Yan family? Is he really not interested in handing over the position of prince to King Ji?"

"If it really meant something, why did it force King Ji to not even dare to discuss politics in the previous court? In the rebellion of King Huai in those years, the Yan family suffered greatly, and the emperor praised them on the surface, but in fact he deprived them of their power step by step. ”

Su Xiangzhu suddenly raised her eyes to look at her husband, and asked slowly, "My lord, but I have already chosen to be loyal to King Ji?"

And so it is. Leng Yiqing nodded with a heavy face.

"So my lord wants to help that Yan Shizi get rid of his guilt this time?"

"Now it is absolutely impossible for Yan Xingbao to get away with the crime! Although I am the chief assistant of the court, I can't control the head of Jingzhao Mansion Yin. What's more, this case has now become a lit fuse, and anyone who tries to get close to it may be blown to pieces!"

"In that case, the adults simply sit on the sidelines, so why sit in the city of sorrow like this?"

"How can this matter be so simple! The emperor threw out this case at this time, and his intentions are really unpredictable. If he just wanted to use this to suppress the Yan family, it would not be a big deal, I am afraid that he is afraid that he has heard some rumors, and even has some solid evidence, and has been planning for a long time. In that case, the implications will be widespread, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

According to the concubine's body, no matter what the emperor's original intention was in throwing out this case, in the end he would not make the matter so big that it could not be ended. After all, the emperor is very old, but he has not established a prince for a long time, and this move endangers the society of the country, which is extremely inappropriate, and has long been criticized by the government and the opposition. Although those officials who were on the corpse did not dare to admonish the emperor in person, with the emperor's eyes and ears, they should have known about this situation a long time ago, so he should not have taken advantage of this case to start purging dissidents, so as to make people's hearts unstable, and even endanger his imperial power. ”

Leng Yi Qingden praised sincerely: "It's still Mrs. who has a clear opinion!"

Su Xiangzhu couldn't help but smile, "Your Excellency is just flattering me! Actually, your adult should be able to see it more thoroughly than me, but at this moment, there should be something else in your heart, right?"

In the face of such a smart lady, Leng Yiqing knew that he couldn't hide it, and sighed and said: "If the emperor threatens Yan Xingbao's life, that Yan Yuguang, who is short-sighted and loves his son like his life, I am afraid that he will confess all the things we are planning." In this way, even if the emperor wants to stabilize the court situation, he will not immediately turn his face to all those involved, but people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and I am afraid that it will only be a matter of time before a catastrophe comes!"

"Could it be that the Lord has some handle in the hands of Yan Yuguang?"

"Not really. Although I promised to help the king, I never had any correspondence with him. And the only meeting was in an extremely secret place, and even Yan Yuguang was not present to participate. ”

"Since Yan Yuguang has no basis for his empty words, why should my lord worry? ”

"Although Yan Yuguang has no evidence, as long as he confesses my name in front of the emperor, with the emperor's suspicious character, I am afraid that he will believe it somewhat, and from then on he will plant suspicion in his heart. ”

Su Xiangzhu said disapprerovingly: "In this palace and outside the palace, all over the court, how can there be a person who is not suspicious of the emperor?!"

Hearing Madame's casual grumbling, Leng Yiqing couldn't help but feel stunned, and suddenly thought of someone.

The emperor seems to only trust this fake of unknown origin. Could it be that he is indeed the emperor's person? If so, did he also play some kind of role in this scene? However, he really couldn't believe that this prince Ding, who had a complicated background, was just a dog by the emperor's side, just like Zheng Yong!

At this time, Su Xiangzhu suddenly sighed and said to himself: "It's just that after this case has passed, I don't know what kind of thoughts the emperor will have for His Royal Highness King Ji?

"The emperor's thoughts, I'm afraid only he can guess them-" Leng Yiqing answered helplessly, but suddenly paused, shook his head and sighed, "No! There is also Duan Puqing! He must have guessed the emperor's mind before he would respond like this, but I haven't fully figured it out until this moment!"

"The lord is confused about the concubine body!" Su Xiangzhu couldn't help but complain, "The lord is in charge of the important affairs of the Chinese book, and he is almost in front of the king every day, and he still can't understand the emperor's thoughts, why is it that he Duan Puqing, a small Jingzhao Mansion Yin, doesn't have many opportunities to face the saint at all, but he knows the emperor's thoughts well?"

Leng Yiqing also seemed to be stumped by this question, pondered for a long time, and said uncertainly: "Duan Puqing-, maybe I got some news from Hua Fengshan......

................................................................................................................................................

In the Jingzhao Mansion, Lord Pu Qingduan of the Mansion was reading a book and drinking tea at the same time.

Seeing his leisurely appearance, Master Lu, the henchman of Lord Fu Yin, who had just come in from outside, couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Poked such a big hornet's nest, adults still have the leisure to drink tea here?!"

Duan Puqing took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "What hornet's nest?"

"Of course it's the Yan clan! If you do this, you will definitely offend them greatly, and where will you have a good life in the future!"

Duan Puqing sighed, but the expression on his face was still quite relaxed, "I am also forced to do this out of helplessness! Since there is no shortage of plaintiffs, defendants, and witnesses in this case, our Jingzhao Mansion has no reason to delay the trial, and it is inevitable that the unreasonable delay will be true!"

Master Lu shook his head and said: "Although the plaintiff, the defendant and the witnesses are complete, the victim's body has not been found so far, and it is not far-fetched to say that the evidence in this case is insufficient." Besides, even if there are not hundreds of cases that have not yet been concluded in Jingzhao Mansion for several years, I am afraid that there are still 70 or 80 cases, so why should we care that this new case will drag on for a little longer?

"I'm afraid I don't want to offend people this time, but I also want to offend people!" Duan Puqing sighed again, threw the scroll in his hand aside, picked up the tea and took a sip, "It's just to see which side you will offend." ”

"But my lord, you can't offend anyone who offends the Yan family! Not to mention that His Royal Highness King Ji has personally inquired into this case!"

Duan Puqing shook his head loudly and said, "You know the Yan family! Let me ask you, do you know who the pair of young men and women who came to report the case were?"

Master Lu blinked his eyes a few times, nodded and said, "This subordinate naturally knows that they are from Huafu. Yesterday, Wang Zhutou also went to Huafu to inquire about some details of the case, although he did not see the pair of young men and women who reported the case, but it has been confirmed that one of them is Hua Xiangjun, the daughter of Hua Fengshan, and the other is his nephew Han Bing. ”

"That's it! Since they are all from Huafu, how can I, the little Jingzhao Mansion Yin, afford to offend?"

Master Lu couldn't help but blink his eyes a few more times, stretched out the index finger of his right hand and pointed upward, and asked, "My lord...... Could it be that you are referring to...... The prince?"

With a "snap", Duan Puqing put the empty teacup in his hand on the desk next to him, shook his head with a stern expression, and also stretched out the index finger of his right hand and pointed upwards even harder.

Master Lu was so frightened that he forgot to blink his eyes this time, and his face became even more pale, "This case...... Unexpectedly...... Through the sky, that Huafeng Mountain...... Who the hell is it?"
