Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

Yunyang, Gouyi Hall of Ganquan Palace.The old emperor Liu Che was leaning halfway on the couch inlaid with mica, and Zhao Heqi was kneeling in front of him, stating the situation of the envoy to Chang'an.Liu Che's health is very bad. For the past few months, he has only had one meal a day.Taiguan Ling, who is in charge of the emperor's imperial food, and a group of his subordinates are worried and live like years.According to the system, the emperor should eat four times a day. If the emperor died, Yousi would definitely impeach the eunuch to order him not to eat carefully, and he would be imprisoned and executed.Even if the emperor does not die but the illness is prolonged, it is still frightening.An emperor who is not in good health is not in a better mood.Especially for a person like Liu Che, who has such a strong personality and such a beautiful life, his nostalgia for the world and his neglect of other people's lives make him likely to transfer the anger of physical discomfort to his subordinates at any time.At this time, he heard Zhao Heqi's report, and said angrily, I have been unwell for so long.Jiang Chong said swearingly that it was because someone cursed me, and now he doesn't do his best to cure witchcraft for me, but he never forgets to harm Shen Wu. If I didn't think he has a good way of controlling witchcraft, he would have been sent to prison long ago.His younger brother insulted the chief official, Shen Wu shot him dead, it should have been done.I wanted to directly issue an edict to pardon Shen Wu, but I didn't want to embarrass the second and third senior officials, so I let them talk about it. I didn't expect them to join the party, and I was very disappointed.

Zhao Heqi said, Your Majesty calm down, the most important thing is to take care of your body.He didn't dare to say words of consolation, but he knew that many things could be accomplished by taking advantage of the emperor's anger, so he took out another letter from his pocket. This brief letter was forwarded to Your Majesty. According to her, the content was to impeach Jiang Chong to isolate her husband from writing a letter, which is a big treason.In order to show that she was not trying to save her husband's life, she committed suicide by drinking poison after writing the letter to show that she was not deceiving.

Liu Che said oh, that's right, honesty is really commendable.He has been the emperor for a lifetime, and when he hears someone committing suicide, he is just like hearing an ant die. He is not surprised at all, but he will admire once or twice. Submit the brief.Liu Che ordered. Guang Luxun Han said, took the bamboo slips and spread them on the cases in front of Liu Che's bed.Liu Che read a few lines, and frowned, yes, Shen Wu's wife is a daughter of the clan, I almost forgot.Whoever wrote the bamboo slips has excellent grammar and can be regarded as a good official. Zhao Heqi said, I don't know, but before the Lord Weng committed suicide, he entrusted me to submit the bamboo slips. The person who followed her was Shi Yingqi, a 200-year-old stone soldier from Jingzhao Yin's mansion, who was said to be quite good at knives and pens.

After reading the bamboo slips, Liu Che said, oh, Shen Wuzhen has many talents, Zhao Qing, please read this bamboo slips again. Zhao Heqi panicked and said yes, not knowing the emperor's intention, he read it in a shrill voice, when Liu Li handed it over to him, the slip was sealed and he didn't dare to open it.Reading it now, I think it is quite sonorous and pleasant, and the whole article is full of quotations and laws. Liu Che waited for him to finish reading, and said, what does Zhao Qing think? Zhao Heqi hurriedly said, "Jiang Chongwu cleverly slandered his ministers to death, deceived the emperor, and forced the clan's head to death. It is an unforgivable crime."The minister thought that the envoy should be sent to Jiang Chong, and he should go to the court to test the prison case.

Liu Che hummed, with no expression on his face, and asked Han, what do you think according to Taoism? Han said that when he heard Zhao Heqi read the imperial edict, he was terrified. He and Jiang Chong, Liu Quyu, and Li Guangli had always been close.If the case of Jiang Chong's imprisonment is put to trial, he will definitely be implicated. The law of the Han Dynasty is strict, and it is not impossible for him to sit down and be punished.So he hurriedly replied, Your Majesty, I thought that although Jiang Duwei was not careful with his younger brother, he himself behaved neatly.Shen Wu was sentenced to death, and it was clearly recorded in the legal order that it was not true that Jiang Duwei was a clever dancer.As for the isolation of the letter, it may not be correct, maybe Shen Wu pleaded guilty and refused to write the letter.The Lord Weng committed suicide and wrote a letter on behalf of his husband to defend his grievances. It may be because of a moment of resentment that it cannot be regarded as being persecuted by Captain Jiangdu.At that time, Master Weng committed suicide in front of Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun should understand the law and comfort her more to prevent her from committing suicide.

Zhao Heqi cursed inwardly, this stick is really insidious, and he actually put the blame on me.He hurriedly replied, the Lord Weng committed suicide, and the incident happened in a hurry, which shows that he was depressed and had a premature desire to die.The minister didn't know in advance, and wanted to rescue in a hurry, but how could he get it?The minister thought that the Lord Weng, a majestic man, had to die to express his anger in order to save his husband. It can be seen that Jiang Chong is indeed covering the sky with one hand and blinding the emperor.If they are ordinary people, they can only be wronged for thousands of years.He paused, sighed, and said, Lord Weng is truly a beauty in the world, and the minister witnessed the tragic situation of Lord Weng before he died, and felt sad and moved people to tears.Alas, "Mei Lianjuan's life is never long because of her beauty, and her life is never long." what.Until now, when I think about it, I am quite moved.

Liu Che regained his energy, and asked strangely, oh, is Lord Weng so beautiful?I was not lucky enough to see it. "Mei Lianjuan's life is never long because of her beauty, and her life is never long", "The good man's letter is bright, and Zhu Rongxi" is his own song in mourning for Mrs. Li. When he heard it, he couldn't help being very interested , I thought to myself, there is no woman more beautiful than Mrs. Li in this world, that is absolutely unbelievable. Zhao Heqi took off his crown and kowtowed, saying that the minister deserves to die for his crimes. He was sad for a moment just now, but he quoted a song written by His Majesty specially for Mrs. Li.However, the minister did blurt out without any offense.The beauty of the Lord Weng is something I have never seen before.The minister was born in Ding Tao Haoyou's family, he has seen countless people in his life, and there are quite a few beauties with outstanding faces, but comparing them with the Lord Weng, it is like putting dung and He's Jade together.The minister has absolutely no slander and deceit, and is willing to send an envoy to test the case, and the minister dares to guarantee it with his head.

Liu Che raised his head, as if looking a little fascinated, repeated those two words in a murmur, and suddenly said, "Come here, make an edict to the censor: Immediately hold my letter of integrity, gallop to Ruolu Prison to pardon Shen Wu, Continue to guard Jing Zhaoyin with a rank of eight hundred stones, and give a hundred catties of gold for funerals.If a concubine has a son, she will be entrusted to the Lord Weng.Jiang Chong, the seal book, has been dedicated to governing witchcraft affairs since today, and he must not overstep his duties to impeach the ministers, and he is good at rectifying his clan and subordinates, so as not to disturb the people. If there is any violation again, it will be discussed seriously.

Zhao Heqi breathed a sigh of relief, since he entered the palace, he has been trying to figure out the emperor's psychology, knowing that the emperor is lustful and used to have a heart of pity and sympathy.It must be very regretful to hear that Lord Weng is a peerless beauty in the world, and it will definitely be beneficial to Shen Wu to issue another edict.Seeing the emperor's draft edict today, sure enough.Shen Wu Shuzi, today I also took revenge for a little bit. Although I let you choose your life, you must taste the pain of losing your wife.Hmph, even though you are still an official residence in Jingzhao Yin, your rank has dropped from two thousand stones to eight hundred stones, which is worse than Lao Tzu. You are so majestic.It's just that Jiang Chong's scorpion still didn't fall, and his status in the emperor's heart was really extraordinary, no wonder so many courtiers fawned on him desperately.But the emperor also believed in witchcraft too much.Once the witchcraft incident is over, Shen Wu and I will expose the case of their collusion with the King of Changyi, and he will die.Thinking of this, he almost burst out laughing with joy.

Liu Che said, I'm going to send someone to take care of the funeral of Mrs. Weng to see if it's really the best in the world. Zhao Heqi thought to himself, could this be fucking wrong? No matter how picky you send people to investigate the case, it is impossible for you to think that I am talking nonsense.He kowtowed happily and said, it took only a day or two to drive to Chang'an, and the Lord Weng's face has not been corrupted yet.If there is half a sentence that is not true, the minister is willing to give the first que to apologize. Liu Che sighed, and said, well, if it wasn't for my poor health, I would really go and see for myself.

Chang'an Liu Quyu received the emissary's edict and was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.Although he had probed Zhao Heqi's tone beforehand, what he got in exchange was a cold face and no answer, the reason being that he did not dare to criticize the imperial edict, nor did he dare to speculate on his intentions.He only meaningfully exhorted them to do it fairly.Liu Qushou was honored as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but he had nothing to do with Zhao Heqi.He didn't dare to fully believe Zhang Gan's explanation, coupled with Jiang Chong's persistence, at the second court meeting, although Xiao Wu was no longer sentenced to beheaded, he was not found not guilty, but Kun Tong was sentenced to death. Chengdan, whip one hundred.Jiang Chong was very displeased when he heard the verdict, but after thinking about it, forget it, although judging from the verdict, Xiao Wu escaped with his life, but he could do something, such as bribe the prison guards to execute Xiao Wu's flogging. Even if he was not killed with a hundred lashes, he would still be severely disabled, and he was not qualified to be a prisoner.So he was happy again. However, when they heard the envoy read out the edict, they were completely dumbfounded.This time the emperor no longer hinted politely, but directly accused Liu Quyu of being a traitor, flattering and obedient, and Jiang Chong for being negligent in his duties and indulging his relatives.And asked the envoy to go to Ruolu Prison immediately to pardon Xiaowu, and the official was restored to his original post, but his rank was slightly lowered.Jiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This drop in rank means that there is no punishment, but he will receive a little less salary, and his position and power will not be damaged at all.And after passing the performance appraisal after one year, you can enjoy the original salary again.As soon as the envoy left, Liu Quyu complained to Jiang Chongdao with a gloomy face. I guessed last time that the emperor wanted to pardon Shen Wu. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in such a mess today. Seeing that the prime minister was angry, Jiang Chong didn't want to argue with him, so he comforted him and said, please calm down, I am also thinking about the future.Now most of the courtiers are flattering us. Although a few of them don't follow us, they dare not openly oppose us.Shen Wu is the only one who is determined to make things difficult for us.If you don't get rid of him, how can you kill chickens and scare monkeys?It's a pity that the emperor refused to kill him in the end, keeping him is always a hidden danger. Liu Quyu almost wanted to spit a mouthful of phlegm on his face, what can't be against us, it's just against you alone.He stroked his chest, pondered for a while, and said, Jiang Duwei, since you keep saying that big things are the most important thing, you still don't care about restraining your own people.You have to know that the emperor has always been strict with his ministers, whenever I think of the death of the prime ministers before, I really can't sleep.To tell you the truth, I have suffered from heart palpitations these days.You can see that since the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty, the three princes and nine ministers have been convicted and executed for crimes, and all the officials are extremely cautious. It is really rare for Duwei to act so ostentatiously.I implore the captain to restrain himself a little bit. When the big event is successful and the young master succeeds to the throne, it doesn't matter how much the captain flaunts it. Jiang Chong sneered, the county magistrate is mean and ungrateful, and always considers everything for himself. Such a monarch is not worth our lives for him.If it wasn't for me claiming to be good at governing witchcraft, and he still relied on me to act, I am afraid that I will be the one who will go to prison this time.Well, this time count as our failure.Since the county magistrate is greedy for life and afraid of death, we just took advantage of his mentality and stepped up our actions to get rid of the prince first with the help of witchcraft.If the county magistrate heard that his close relative, the prince, was cursing him, he would definitely be shocked and disappointed. Given his current physical condition, if he suffered such a blow, he would not be far from death. Liu Qusao ​​said, well, let's make a good plan now, what should we do next? On Jiangchong Road, the common people's residential area in the northeast of Chang'an City has been combed and combed. Two years ago, two confiscations were made to hold Jinwu's chariots and ride behind closed doors, and many people were captured.In fact, those people can be killed or not.But it is impossible not to kill them. In order to create the illusion that there are indeed a large number of people practicing curse and witchcraft, these people must be killed.As for the high-ranking officials and relatives in Shangguanli and Qili, they can be divided into categories. Those who support us are fine; those who do not cooperate will be arrested.Could it be too much effort to kill people?I'm going to pick a good day to hold another large-scale beheading ceremony next to the Wei River in the south of Chang'an City, just like killing Gongsun He and the others back then.Alas, that scene is really fascinating, and it has been a long time since I experienced it again.Now is an extraordinary period, and there is no need to wait until winter to execute.As for the next step, I decided to search Weiyang Palace. Jiang Chong shook his head, his tone was full of yearning, Liu Quyu could not help feeling a little terrified when he heard it, this man is so insane that he takes pleasure in watching killing people, it is unreasonable to be fascinated even if he can't see it.Yes, of course we also kill people, but that is because of necessity, not killing people for the sake of killing people.If you feel that life is monotonous and you want to watch a murder every few days, then you can't take it for granted.No, when the major event is done, we have to find an excuse to get rid of this person first, so as not to fall into the same fate as Qin Prime Minister Li Si.So he laughed a few times, and said without words, Jiang Duwei, do you want to attack Queen Wei?Empress Wei was cautious all her life, but it was difficult to find an excuse. Jiang Chong sneered disdainfully, the prime minister was wrong, what's the use of getting rid of Wei Zifu?My target is Liu Shi, you know?Damn Liu Shi, he still wants to be an emperor, just dream about it.The search for Weiyang Palace is just to create momentum, I will let Zhaoyang Palace go for now, but those frustrated concubines in the other seven districts of Yeting will have to suffer a little bit of grievance.Although they didn't do anything, their heads are still worth borrowing.Said that they practice witchcraft and curse, the emperor must believe it.As a frustrated concubine, it is not surprising that she has a heart of resentment.Although Wei Zifu wasn't touched this time, he was going to scare her half to death.Let her watch how I concoct her son first.Damn Liu Shi, I'm going to burn every pampered piece of skin on his body to pieces with a branding iron.I want to pour feces into his mouth that was born noble and tasted all kinds of jade, um, I pulled the feces myself.Let him know what will happen to Jiang Chong if he offends me.Hmph, when I confiscated his carriage and horses that day, I knew he was resenting me, and imagined that he would take revenge on me intensified in the future.But there is no chance, what kind of waves Wei Zifu can make at that time, just wait for the death seal... Jiang Chong laughed while talking, he couldn't help standing up, pacing up and down the room, using gestures to assist his impassioned speech.In Liu Quya's view, all of these actions were incomprehensible.He naturally didn't understand that this was the most natural reaction of a person who knew he had offended the prince and could not help being worried every day. On this issue, as long as there was a slight chance, it would be either you or me.God gave Jiang Chong a chance, how could he not fully grasp it. Liu Quxuan said, Shen Wu's son is not dead yet, so the captain should be more careful. Not dead, but the feeling of being alive is not good.Jiang Chong said, his wife died, one life for another.My brother's death is not too unjust.Let him live first, to experience the pain, and it will be cheaper for him to die so easily.Well, a few days ago, the Hou Jin family of Jiangdu agreed to marry their daughter to the dog. If we can win over Jin Buyi, or even win him, we can do whatever we want. The envoy of Ganquan rushed to Ruolu Prison holding the festival and the letter of pardon. Ruolu ordered Wang Xin to send Xiaowu out respectfully. The government will be fine.He is also considered a well-behaved person. Although he did not dare to offend Jiang Chong before, he secretly treated Xiao Wu kindly.Through years of experience as an official, he knows that the emperor always appreciates such cruel officials who kill and dare to serve, so Xiao Wu is likely to be pardoned.He was really proud when he saw the envoy holding the letter of pardon just now. He felt that he had made great progress in serving as an official for many years.Although I didn't get any benefit from this incident, at least I didn't cause any trouble. Xiao Wu was overjoyed, this fucking Niao Jiangchong, I won the bet again this time, it was your unlucky or my unlucky one.But when he heard the envoy read the edict, he could no longer stand firm.What?There was a bang in his head, no, it's impossible. "Give a hundred catties of gold for funerals. If a concubine has a son, I will entrust the land to the lord." How could Lidu do this?How could she be so stupid.Although he howled with his mouth, he knew in his heart that this was an edict from the emperor, and there must be no falsehood.For a moment, he was deeply saddened and ashamed of his pleasure just now.God!Whoever won, of course it was Jiang Chong, that bastard, but he lost really badly.How could his damn pig-dog brother be worth half as much as his wife.Ten thousand pigs and dogs like Jiang Zhitui are not worth a single hair in Lido.He knelt on the ground with his hands on the ground, and the tears gushed out like spring water uncontrollably.His past life, even an insignificant scene with Liu Li, would make his tears flow more intensely.He scratched his head desperately, crying and howling, he couldn't understand why he was so stupid, and paid such a heavy price for the pleasure of punishing the villain.Now, however, all remorse is meaningless.Lido would never hear his cries again. The happiness he once believed to be able to give her, the happiness of a lifetime, would never be fulfilled so soon.And this result is all because of my own stupidity. He can still catch up with the funeral for Liu Lidu, Chang'an in autumn is already very cold.All the while he was restless.Many officials came to express their condolences, including Bao Shengzhi, Jin Buyi, Tian Ren, Ren An and other high-level officials in the middle of the two thousand stones, and even the young prince Fu Shide also came.This surprised Xiao Wu.Shi De is worthy of being a young master. He comforted Xiao Wu earnestly, and conveyed the prince's greetings to Xiao Wu diligently, implying that he would never have a grudge against Xiao Wu's denunciation of Gongsun He in the past.Of course, he also drove here secretly.He didn't want Jiang Chong to see that the prince's people had close contact with the ministers.After hearing what he said, Xiao Wu felt very at ease, now that he only wants revenge, he can't make enemies in many ways.Although the crown prince doesn't have much influence on the surface, and acts cautiously and low-key, after all, he has been the crown prince for decades, and the hidden power must not be ignored.The most important thing is that since the prince doesn't resent himself, he has no worries about taking revenge.He even invited out all the former subordinates of Gongsun He, such as Ruhou and Guan Caizhi, to meet with Shi De.Maybe it was to show that he didn't come here on purpose to target the prince. Since Ruhou and others admire Xiao Wu so much, the prince should feel completely at ease with Xiao Wu.Next, he had to think about how to deal with Jiang Chong.He had made up his mind to turn himself into a revenge machine, and nothing else was on his mind.However, Ying Qi later expressed some doubts about Xiao Wu, which surprised Xiao Wu. Mr. Yingqi, do you think it is really possible that Zhao Heqi was behind the scenes?Xiao Wu's face lost all color, and he felt cold.He even looked around to make sure that there were no eyes peeping in his secret room.He was still wearing mourning clothes, and the curtains in the room were also white. I think so, Yingqi's complexion was ashen, he murmured a bit.After that incident, he fell ill, and now he has just recovered. He seems to be recalling the situation that day, and whenever he thinks of it, endless grief and remorse arise spontaneously. Obviously, he is very loyal to the beautiful mistress, and it is not ruled out that Private affection.So when he spoke like this, there were tears in his eyes.Yes, he said sadly, that day when I was waiting outside the door, I felt strange when I heard the weeping of the Lord, because that kind of weeping was different from the weeping of ordinary people when they were sad.Ordinary weeping is nothing but catharsis, and it will be fine once the mood is vented. In fact, there is new hope continuing in the sadness.But the weeping of the Lord Weng is completely different, it contains huge despair and unwillingness, it is not catharsis, if it is catharsis, it is also the catharsis of throwing away life like a bag.God, that kind of weeping seems to echo in my ears every day when I close my eyes, it seems that it is not something that should exist in the world.I can imagine the Lord's tender intestines turning like a wheel.Undoubtedly, she didn't want to drink the medicine, but if she did, someone must be coercing her, and the only person was Zhao Heqi. Zhao Heqi, Xiao Wu was in more pain than he wanted to live. He beat a few cases with hatred, as if he forgot the pain in his hands.He stood up with a cry, and walked back and forth in the room. I was still surprised at first, but the messenger said that the emperor pardoned me after listening to his advice.How could he be so kind?Well, very smart, this bastard has really improved a lot, he counts, he counts as revenge! ——But I won't let it go like this, can you imagine, can I just let it go? Ying Qi said, Zhao Heqi, he is definitely not a human being, but the most evil and shameless animal in the millennium. He must have planned it. Before he forced the old man to drink the medicine, he had already ordered to drain the water from the well in the yard. The water jug ​​was put away.If the clay pot was there at that time, I might have been able to save Lord Weng.But I can't help it.In particular, he actually ordered someone to close the side door. When I wanted to go out to find the water-drawing utensils, I couldn't get out. He had someone use an iron chain as a latch.I can only use my sword to open the heavy wooden door, Mr. Fu, you can imagine how much time it would take, how miserable I was at that time, and the sky will not let me be so miserable when the sky falls!By the time I opened the door with my sword and tried to find the water-drawing utensils, it was already too late.The Lord Weng's eyes were bursting with blood, and even the bright black hair was soaked with bright red blood. ——That poisonous poison is really beneficial.After a long time, Zhao Heqi showed up hypocritically, expressed regret, and sighed that he would report to the emperor about the heroic actions of the Weng Lord.But I'm sure he arranged all this. Ying Qi's exclamation undoubtedly made Xiao Wu even more sad. He stopped and fell down on the mat. Tears welled up in his mouth again, and he murmured, how could she be so stupid? Believe in villains like Zhao Heqi. Yingqi said, alas, Lord Weng really loves the Fujun too much, I am afraid that you will be killed in half, and naturally lacks careful consideration in anxiety.It's also because our group of people are useless. At that time, I really couldn't think of any good way to do it.If we were smarter, why would Weng Lord be so impulsive.I think she must have been very desperate and sad when she made this decision in private, and she must have been very disappointed with us servants. Well, Xiao Wu replied, not sure if he was answering Ying Qi or not.Let me see, he said to himself, I've got to figure out a way, and I'd rather take my life than avenge it first.He held his head in a daze for a long time, then suddenly patted the mat, okay, I'll try first.Mr. Yingqi, I'm afraid I need your help with this matter. Yingqi said, as long as he can kill that bastard Zhao Heqi, Yingqi will go through fire and water, he will not hesitate. Okay, Xiao Wu Dao, but don't be in a hurry, after a month, wait until I get rid of the mourning clothes. For the next month, the city of Chang'an was full of drums. Jiang Chong used the emperor's decree to conscript Jinwu chariots and rode around the city every day. The witch looked at the air above, and when he found that there was witch aura, he rushed there immediately. The guards all carried earth-digging tools, and as long as Jiang Chong gave an order, they would swarm in and dig wildly.Once a puppet figure is discovered, or heretical ghosts and gods banned by the imperial court are enshrined in the family temple, regardless of high or low, they will all be impeached by Jiang Chong as "holding heretical temples, immoral" and the whole family will be arrested.People in Chang'an City were in panic, as soon as they heard the sound of drums, everyone knew that someone in a certain family was going to be in trouble.They can only hope in their hearts that such a thing will not happen to them. It was a crisp autumn morning, and the city of Chang'an was surprisingly quiet.There was no such thing as the drumbeat of the past.Near noon, a large number of chariots and riders flocked to the Sima Gate in the north gate of Weiyang Palace.When Simamen ordered Guo Rang to hear the guard's report, he ran out in a hurry and shouted loudly, who dares to break into the palace.When he saw the Xuanniao flag on the head-axe chariot, he knew it was the chariot of the Northern Army under the command of Jin Wu.The voice suddenly dropped a lot, bowed and bowed and said, Captain Jiang Du, why are you interested in playing outside the gate of Weiyang Palace?Then he turned around and ordered to withdraw quickly.A large group of guards of the Southern Army removed the arrows from the slots of the crossbows, and the guards holding the halberds also retracted the halberds with their blades facing outward. Jiang Chong sat on the leather cart carelessly, and said slowly, what about playing, the government only thinks about sharing the emperor's worries all day long, so there is no time and mood to play.Some time ago, Wu Wu was looking forward to Qi, and there was a black hostility in the eight districts behind the Jiaofang Palace in Weiyang Palace. Someone might be using witchcraft to curse the king. I have already requested an edict to conscript the Northern Army's chariots to search.you listen: In October of the second year of Zhenghe, Ji Chou Shuo Jiachen, that is, Wu Wu saw hostility in the Jiaofang Hall of Yeting, Weiyang Palace, and suspected that there were heresy witchcraft in the harem to curse His Majesty. Han said that the eunuch ordered Su Wen to ask for an edict, so he had to go to Weiyang Palace and search for it cheaply.Palace guards, officials, and knights all dare not stay.The system said: Yes. Guo Rang thought to himself, is it possible that the emperor is really old and confused, Weiyang Palace Yeting actually let Jiang Chong lead the guards to break in.The empress lived in Zhaoyang Hall, and he didn't have any scruples at all.But with the edict, he has no choice but to open the gate.Jiang Chong yelled, and the leather chariot rumbled into the Que Gate, bypassing Shiqu Pavilion, Yushi Dafu Temple, the Central Office and other buildings, and rushed towards the front hall of Weiyang Palace.Guo Rang sighed, wondering how many beauties were about to lose their heads. The concubines and concubines in the eighth district of Yeting had just had lunch and were about to take a little rest when they heard the rumble of cars approaching like thunder.They were wondering, did the emperor come back from Ganquan Palace?Weiyang Palace will be so noisy only when the emperor returns to the palace.In the past, it was completely silent, except for the patrolling guards who appeared under the willow branches from time to time, there was almost no life at all.What's more, even if the emperor returns to the palace, it has nothing to do with these concubines. For a long time, the excitement has belonged to Mrs. Gouyi alone, and even the queen can't get a share of it, let alone them. However, the sound of the car was getting closer and closer, and there was also the neighing of the horse, which was really surprising.It seems that it is not the return of the emperor.According to the rules of the Han family, every move of the emperor's chariots and horses and even the sound of the Luan bell are strictly regulated, and they will never be so noisy.Their feeling was right, the sound of the car stopped abruptly near Feixiang Hall, Hehuan Hall, Zengcheng Hall, Pixiang Hall, Phoenix Hall, and Yuanluan Hall, and then heard the impact of Jiaye, and the Lang Guan guarding the palace seemed to be crying Stop what, then a large number of guards rushed into the halls, and the leading officials rudely issued orders to tell the concubines to get out of the way. Open, and then an official exclaimed, there are puppets.Holding a puppet several inches long in his palm, he said angrily, cursing the king for treason, come and arrest them all, and send them to Shuiheng Prison to torture and plunder, and they will never stop if they do adultery.The guards agreed, and unloaded the prepared ropes from the car, tied up all the concubines with ropes, carried them out and threw them on the car.The Weiyang Palace was suddenly like a flag pavilion, and the wailing was loud.After a while, Jiang Chong appeared surrounded by cars. He glanced around at the women who were filled with hundreds of cars, and shouted coldly, you lowly maidservants, because the emperor doesn't like you, hold a grudge and curse for revenge.Today, I was accused of adultery by the government. The charges are clear. Instead of bowing down and pleading guilty, instead of shouting for injustice, it is really treasonous.When we arrive at Shuiheng Prison, we will let you know how powerful it is. Hearing what he said, the concubines became more frightened and desperate, crying for grievances one after another.Empress Wei felt uneasy when she heard the call, and sent Zhonghuangmen to investigate. Soon after, Zhonghuangmen came back to report that it was Captain Shuihengjiang who had arrested them, claiming that countless puppets had been dug up in the inner palace.There were many chariots and riders gathered in the apse. When I went up to question him, he said that there was an imperial edict.Empress Wei fell down on the couch with a thud, she knew that all this was aimed at herself, and the end would not be far away.With the help of her attendants, she struggled to get up, and said in a trembling voice, calling Zhan Shi, family order, and stable order. Empress Zhan Shixue Guangde and Zhongshang Ling Cheng'an hurried to the Zhaoyang Hall to secure their room.These few people are the Queen's confidantes, and they have been the Queen's private officials for more than ten years. They know that if the Queen offends, as a private official, they will definitely be punished together.So what Jiang Chong did was also a great threat to them.Empress Wei lay down for a while, calmed down a bit, sighed, everyone knows that Jiang Chong led the Jinwu chariot just now, and arrested hundreds of harem concubines, loaded the chariot and left.The reason why you didn't harass me is because you haven't received the emperor's edict yet.All this is to create momentum, to let the emperor gradually believe that I have cursed the truth.You and I and the Prince's family are all dependent on each other.Once the crown prince and I are punished, according to Han law, you will not be spared either.Do you think about any good strategies? Xue Guangde said, since the emperor is ill, we can first send envoys to greet him frequently and find out the truth.If the emperor is really dying, then we simply send troops to kill Jiang Chong. Sending troops is easier said than done.Empress Wei said, how many soldiers can we send without the Tiger Talisman and the Tianzi's Day Letter? Don't worry, the queen, the order of the middle stables is Cheng Andao. The minister had a private discussion with the arsenal order a few days ago. He also supports the queen and the prince. As long as he responds when the time comes, we can open the arsenal, correct and pardon the prisoners of the Zhongdu officials, and grant troops. give them.These criminals plus Weiyang Palace and Mingguang Palace guards, totaled nearly 100,000 people, more than enough to kill Jiang Chong.The middle stable under the charge of the minister has thousands of horses and hundreds of carts.In private, I have ordered people to prepare more than a thousand pieces of leather. In a few nights, the stable cart can be converted into a military vehicle, loaded with archers, and fired continuously with the arsenal. It should not be difficult to wipe out Jiang Chong.Jiang Chong only has Shuiheng Guards, Guanglu Xun Langzhong Guards, Archers and Jinwu Chariots in charge, and the number is no more than 20,000 to 30,000.As long as the Northern Army doesn't send troops to help him, we're sure to win. Empress Wei frowned slightly, Cheng Jun is really caring, our mother and son, it's all up to you.If there is success in the future, he will be appointed as a prince and prime minister, and let the kings choose. Xue Guangde and Cheng Anqi Qi Jishou bowed down, the master was in trouble, and the minister was obliged to do so, An Wang was made a marquis and worshiped the prime minister.The prince must be notified of this matter as soon as possible, and everyone has already made preparations. While in Jingzhaoyin Mansion, Xiao Wu got the news that Jiang Chong broke into Weiyang Palace Dasuo, and smiled with satisfaction that Zhao Heqi's death is approaching. Ying Qi said, the government has a high opinion.Zhao Heqi's official position is Weiyang Palace Ye Ting Ling, in charge of the eight districts of the harem.Now Jiang Chong searched Yeting, the harem, and falsely accused him of finding the puppet.Zhao Heqi, as the chief officer of Ye court, was not careful in his duties, so he should be convicted and sent to prison for interrogation.Jiang Chong only knew that he was the one who helped the Fujun this time, and he didn't know all the hidden secrets. Mr. Yingqi is really getting better and better, Xiao Wu said with a smile, in two years I should worship you as my teacher.However, regarding such a big prison matter that the harem's concubines cursed the emperor, the emperor will definitely not just hand it over to Captain Shui Heng to rule alone. The edict will definitely let Shui Heng and Tingwei rule.If someone as impartial and selfless as Yan Yannian joined, Zhao Heqi might not be in trouble.So it's time to use you and me. Ying Qi said, what does the Lord Fu mean, we want to help Jiang Chong? Xiao Wu nodded and said, yes. But the reason for the Lord Weng's drinking of medicine is Jiang Chong.Ying Qi said puzzled. Xiao Wu's face became serious again, indeed.However, Jiang Chong had nothing to do with me. Although this man is fierce, he is not good at treachery.On the contrary, eunuchs like Zhao Heqi often have a dark mind. If we don't get rid of him, I don't know how many people will be killed in the future. I won't hesitate to pay any price.Of course, I won't let him die so happily, it's better to let him die.So, this time it's time to labor baby Qi Jun. Ying Qi said, but according to the order of the government. Xiao Wudao, Zhao Heqi's elder sister is the Crown Princess of Chu. Back then, when I was passing through the state of Chu for embroidery, I met his father.I want you to gallop to the state of Chu, meet the king of Chu, and persuade him to arrest Zhao Heqi's people as soon as possible, to please the emperor, so as not to implicate yourself. Oh, Ying Qi said, but when Zhao Heqi is imprisoned, Jiang Chong may be poor and try to implicate Zhao Heqi's clan, so why should we do it ourselves? Little Martial Arts, otherwise, I counted, and far less than one-third of the clan was wiped out because of the witchcraft case.What's more, Jiang Chong and Zhao Heqi have no deep grievances, and they may not want to implicate Zhao Heqi's clan. Even if they want to implicate, under the current situation, they will have scruples.After all, this will always implicate the King of Chu.I believe that before Jiang Chong dealt with the crown prince, he did not dare to use his strength to govern the princes and kings, lest other princes and kings be jealous.King Zhao hates Jiang Chong very much now, doesn't Jiang Chong have no chance of revenge?The reason I sent you to persuade the King of Chu is because the crown prince of the King of Chu and the prince of the state of Chu harbored fugitive officials and committed a serious crime, and I helped him cover it up.You tell him that if Zhao Changnian is not arrested and silenced this time, Jiang Chong may find out about the treachery, and everyone will be beheaded.He is not a fool, he will obey. Ying Qi said, I immediately packed up, sneaked day and night, and rushed to Pengcheng. Xiao Wu said with satisfaction, very good, this time let's use your skill of fraudulent engraving of talismans again, pass Hangu Pass, and you can't reveal your identity.When you pass by the post post, you must not stay overnight, so as not to be discovered. Ying Qi said, Don't worry, the lord, this servant will definitely pay attention.
