The people in the imperial study today are all officials of the first and second grades of the DPRK and China, and when they saw Chen Rui talking nonsense in reverse black and white, Zhang Shangshu was forced to show his loyalty with such a tragic gesture, and everyone was shocked.

There is nothing wrong with what Zhang Shangshu said, what Prince Alcohol has done is known from top to bottom, but now the people in the upper position clearly don't want Prince Alcohol to win the hearts of the people, and the more he praises, the faster he may push people to the precipice.

Chen Rui has not framed Zhongliang like this once or twice by relying on the favor of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, but there has not been such a time as heroic as today, and he actually forced a Shangshu to die directly in the imperial study.

Not only the courtiers were shocked, but Emperor Jingyuan was also annoyed, this Zhang Shangshu was pedantic and old-fashioned, and he admired Prince Alcohol to the extreme, it was not a pity for such a person to die, but he died headlong in the imperial study, which really made people unable to get off the stage.

"Zhang Shangshu is a strong person, he is a rare loyalty, Chen Aiqing is just a little too radical, but why is he looking for death?"

In any case, Zhang Shangshu chose to commit suicide because of Prince Alcohol, in order to block the mouths of the people, it was more important to appease the courtiers at this time, and the Empress Dowager immediately decided to punish Chen Rui, punish Chen Rui for one year, and handle the aftermath for Zhang Shangshu.

died of an important minister, and was so lightly punished by the empress dowager that Chen Rui was only punished for a year, and he wanted to prepare to settle the matter, it seems that this Chen Rui is not an ordinary favor.

Someone below shook his head secretly, the world is getting worse, the traitors in the court are in charge, and everyone can't even tell the truth, these words can only be said in their hearts, after all, no one has the courage to become the second Zhang Shangshu.

The matter did not come out with a result, but the courtiers died, and Emperor Jing Yuan was indescribably angry, but he was still too young to hold his breath, and waved his hand to make everyone retreat.

When Zhang Shangshu's body was transported back to the mansion, Zhang Yanchong happened to be not at home, and the little maid in the mansion was easy to find all the way, so he found Zhang Yanchong who was drinking with Commander Li, and the little guy said to Zhang Yanchong with red eyes and sobbing: "Son, go back quickly, something happened to the master!"

When Zhang Yanchong heard this, he vaguely felt bad in his heart, and he didn't ask much, saying goodbye to Commander Li and riding on his horse and running back to the mansion quickly, the people in the mansion had already removed the red lantern and hung the white cloth under the instructions of the housekeeper, and the main hall already had the appearance of a mourning hall.

"Young master, you're back, master, he's ......" The housekeeper wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, kowtowed to Zhang Yanchong, and rushed into the mourning hall with Zhang Yan.

Suddenly, the housekeeper had not bought the coffin back, Zhang Shangshu's body was so thorny on the bed in the hall, Zhang Yanchong trembled and slowly lifted the white cloth covering Zhang Shangshu's body.

The blood stains on his face have been cleaned, and at this moment, Zhang Shangshu's face is terrifying and terrifying, the blood on his forehead is not flowing out, leaving only a hollow blood hole, and a pair of eyes are open deadly, telling endless unwillingness!

"Father!" Zhang Yanchong fell to his knees with a thud, his fist pressed against his mouth, and a beastly scream came out of his mouth.

My father was fine when he left the house, why did he become a corpse in just a few hours!

"Father, what's going on?" Zhang Yanchong stared at the housekeeper with a pair of scarlet eyes.

The housekeeper wiped his face and told everything he knew: "I heard that there was a dispute with Lord Chen in the palace, and for some reason, the master committed suicide by hitting the pillar." ”

"Lord Chen?"

"It's the Lord Chen who married the third lady of Xiahou Mansion. ”

It turned out to be him! This Chen Rui has been very strong in the past two years, and he has won the favor of His Majesty, Chen Rui has done a lot of things to harm Zhongliang through His Majesty's favor, Zhang Yanchong is not qualified to enter the court, but he has also heard that Chen Rui forced Zhongliang to resign.

Why did my father have an argument with him?, even if there is a dispute, it can't drive people to death!

Zhang Yanchong was sad and indignant in his heart, and a wave of anger rushed straight to his head, staring at the big eyes of the copper bell, glancing around, picking up his weapon from outside the room and preparing to find Chen Rui desperately.

"What are you going to do?" A faint voice came from the side, and it turned out that Mrs. Zhang was helped out by someone.

Mrs. Zhang suddenly saw that her master's corpse couldn't stand the blow, and fainted directly several times, and the housekeeper couldn't bear to let the maids help people back and call the doctor to come for consultation.

Mrs. Zhang is just because of a moment of grief and indignation, this is the rush of blood and heart can not be lifted in one breath this fainted, in the doctor a few needles down, the person sobered up, woke up regardless of the weakness of the body, got up and got out of bed to the mourning hall, just entered the courtyard, I saw Chong'er go out.

Zhang Yanchong's eyes were red, his hands were clutching his weapons, the green tendons on the back of his hands jumped up, and he suppressed his deep grief and indignation and said in a low voice: "My father was forced to die by someone above the court, so I will go and cut this person to avenge my father." ”

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhang walked up to Zhang Yanchong, pulled the big knife in his hand and said, "Let go, put down the weapon!"

"I don't, my father died unjustly, why didn't my mother let the child go to Chen Rui for revenge?" Zhang Yan craned his neck, if he wasn't afraid of hurting his mother, he was afraid that he would have taken the road away.

"You also said that your father was insulted to death in the court, but he always committed suicide, not to mention that I heard that His Majesty was also present at that time, son! If you are the enemy of the sword now, your mother is afraid that you will also follow in your father's footsteps, can you bear to see that only your mother is left in the house?"

Zhang Yanchong is not completely brainless, he is just carried away by anger, he knows that what his mother said is the truth, but Zhang Yanchong can't swallow this breath.

The two were in a stalemate, and Zhang Yanyu, who heard the news, also returned.

Tong Yingzhao supported Zhang Yanyu, who was unsteady in his steps, and when he entered the house, he saw Zhang Yanchong, who was blocked by Mrs. Zhang outside the mourning hall.

"Mother, eldest brother, what are you doing here?" Zhang Yanyu walked up to the two of them and asked with sadness on her face, "Father is really?"

Zhang Yanchong nodded slowly.

"Father!" Zhang Yanyu almost fainted when she heard this, and was interrupted by her like this, Zhang Yanchong had to put down the big knife in his hand and helped Mrs. Zhang, who was shaking, into the mourning hall.

Zhang Yanyu heard that Tong Yingzhao said that his father had an accident, and the people who were summoned into the imperial study today did not include Tong Yingzhao, he also learned the news from others, and after learning about it, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly took Zhang Yanyu back to Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Yanyu didn't expect that she hadn't seen her father for a few days, but now she is goodbye to heaven and man.

"Father, wake up, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Yanyu knelt on the ground and cried miserably.

Looking at his mother who could no longer shed tears and his sister who was almost fainting, a desolation rose from Zhang Yanchong's heart, this is the court that his father has always been loyal to!

Why!

Why is God so unjust!
