Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 124

In the event of an emergency, Shao Shang immediately asked Mrs. Xiao for instructions. After receiving permission, he went home and packed his bags, and then brought Sangguo in the lotus room to the palace. Before leaving Wanjia, Mrs. Xiao instructed in a deep voice: "Serve the queen well, and don't talk too much about other things."

Shaoshang knew very well: "I am a character, and if I want to talk too much, someone must listen!"

Xiao Madam knew that she would not be able to control her daughter, so she could only sigh: "The palace is dangerous, and the affairs of the prince are ten times more dangerous. You have to do it yourself, and don't cause trouble!"

Shaoshang knew that it was reasonable, so he could only honestly agree.

With the token given by the queen, he called to the west gate, and then walked straight to the Changqiu Palace, still more than ten feet away from the palace gate, when Shao Shang heard the palace maid's dissuasion and a sharp cry. Shao Shang came closer and saw that it was Wang Jie.

When the maids saw Shaoshang, they all shouted happily--

"Miss Cheng is here! Hurry in, the maid is ill again!"

"Sister Shaoshang, you are here, the maid has been coughing since she lay down last night , but she is ill again! Scared us!"

"Before Zhai Li said that if you don't come again, she will send someone to your house to find you!"

... Before

Shaoshang could react, Wang Ji, who was crying with unkempt hair, rushed over. , her face was full of tears, she was confused, she didn't even dare to stand, she just knelt beside Shaoshang's leg and cried, "Ms. Cheng, save my father! He and several brothers have been arrested and all come down. I went to the North Army Prison!"

Shao Shang was taken aback. By the way, these are not criminal offences, so they are not locked in the Tingwei Mansion.

A palace maid said indignantly: "Miss Wang! The slaves have said it many times. The maiden said that you can't see you, you have to go in to resist the decree! The maid is sick now, you are making noise outside to be at ease and not let the maiden. Are you recuperating!"

Another palace maid shouted: "Miss Wang, hurry up, or if you don't go, we will invite the Zhonghuang Sect to drag you away!"

Wang Hao said angrily, "You cheap maids! Bow to your knees, and now come to step on me when my family is in trouble! What a group of snobs who see the wind and rudder!"

Shao Shang said with his arms on his hips: "They are palace maids, don't they bow their knees to the nobles? Are they still arrogant! Also, the Empress is the master of the harem, who else do the people of Changqiu Palace need to be snobbish? Even the princes and princesses are all guests here. You are polite, the daughter of a foreign minister is very domineering!"

She already had some prestige among the palace maids and eunuchs, but at this time, the surrounding palace maids were moved, and you immediately agreed with each other, surrounded by a group outside. The yellow gates in the circle even applauded softly.

Wang Ji was trembling with anger, stood up, and shouted, "Good you, Cheng Shaoshang, I have long seen that you are cunning and vicious. Now that my family is in trouble, you finally got your wish, and you can stand on the shore and watch the show!"

"It's funny, what does it matter to me if your family is in trouble! Hurry up and leave me if you're smart, don't disturb the mother's rest!"

"I don't leave, I want to see the mother-in-law! The mother-in-law can't ignore us, can't we just watch our family collapse! "

Oh, you are picking up soft persimmons. Empress is the lord of the harem, the king of the world is your majesty, and your father and brother were also arrested by majesty. It's a matter!"

Wang Ji couldn't argue, but could only shout at the palace gate: "Niangniang, aunt, help, help! Please remember that my aunt and you are close relatives..."

Shaoshang interrupted: "What? We are close relatives, the niece and Wen Xiujun are aunts and sisters, and they do not share the same surname, so don't call them so affectionate! Since your father and brother are so anxious, why didn't Wen Xiu-jun come to ask the goddess in person?"

Wang Jie was about to answer when the Changqiu Palace Gate suddenly When he opened the door, he saw the eldest princess and the second imperial concubine surrounded by a group of palace maids, each of which came out from inside - Shao Shang immediately put down his hands on his hips and bowed.

The second imperial concubine slowly approached, smiled and said, "What are you arguing about outside, we heard it inside." The

eldest princess pouted: "What else can I do? Shao Shang won't let me."

Shao Shang smiled and said, "Oh my eldest princess, you really take care of things like a god!"

The eldest princess covered her mouth and chuckled: "You naughty girl, the father and the emperor complained about the mother a few days ago, saying that you should not let you take leave day after day, without you chatting around, the palace would be empty. Shao Shang pretended to sigh, "

My grandfather said that it is a common practice for parents to reprimand their children, which can both warn their children and vent their anger. However, His Royal Highnesses are all filial, sensible, intelligent, and sensible. Just a few sentences, can't you just scold me for a day to make up for it?" The

eldest princess smiled and said to the second princess, "Look at her, it's no wonder the royal father Both the mother and the queen like her, if it wasn't for Shishi Lang who started early, I would have to tell her to a few imperial brothers!" The

second imperial concubine smiled, glanced at Wang Ji, and said to Shaoshang, "You are outside too. Have you heard the news? We all know your filial piety to the empress, and I will be bothering you to take care of the empress in the past few days."

Shaoshang thought that you and my daughter-in-law Xiao are the same way, meaning the same thing, but he respectfully agreed.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Wang Ji knelt down again, and was about to plead for mercy, when the eldest princess said rudely, "Don't talk nonsense, your father Wang Chun is nothing but mediocre, how many messes he has caused over the years, If it wasn't for Shijilang's repeated remedies for him, the emperor would have dismissed him! Now that such a major incident has happened, and the East Palace has been implicated, you are so embarrassed to come to intercede!"

"His Royal Highness." The second imperial concubine said softly, His eyes signaled not to be ostentatious, while Shao Shang watched coldly.

The eldest princess let out her anger slowly, and said coldly to Wang Ji: "I'm not so good-tempered as the queen mother, you are smart, you hurry to leave me, or I will let Da Changqiu come over and kill you on the charge of disturbing the palace. Let's see who will speak for you!"

Wang Ji flinched and wept softly.

Shaoshang hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "I know that Your Highness is extremely filial, but why should His Highness's reputation for being benevolent and wise be ruined for such a trivial matter. You can kill chickens with a bull's knife, and I will scolded the Queen and Lady Wang away!

" Looking at Shaoshang with a smile, the eldest princess nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave it to you here... Let's go." The last three words were addressed to the second emperor.

The two of them left hand in hand, and Shao Shang looked at her back and a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, and said to himself: "I heard that the second imperial concubine befriended the eldest princess, but I didn't expect it to be like this now. Good."

Wang Li, who was kneeling on the ground, heard it, and whispered, "You don't know, they have already decided on their children

's marriage a few months ago." Shaoshang looked at her, suddenly raised his voice and said to the surrounding: "Okay . Now, what are you doing here, what are you doing? You don't need to guard the gate, get out! And what are you four watching? What a wonderful story I usually tell about today's incident, I really have short knowledge. Let's see if I will share some snacks for you in the future! Why are you standing so high, your mouth is cracked like the lid of a pot, you don't need to help the cook..."

She exclaimed, and the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs They all walked away smiling.

Shao Shang put away his smile, grabbed Wang Ji's arm, and said in a low voice as he dragged him out, "You saw it too, if you don't want to be killed, then leave quickly, it's a big deal, and it's more involved. It's not you or me. The beak..."

Wang Ji staggered under his feet, and wept softly: "No, my father is really wronged! These letters are definitely not written by my father!"

Shaoshang paused: "What did you say? It's nonsense to get away!"

"It's true! It's true!" Wang Ji grabbed Shaoshang's arm with her backhand and pleaded with tears, "I don't know who my father is as my daughter! The eldest princess just now. There is a saying that is right, my father is a mediocre person, and he is also greedy for life and fear of death. As long as there is a wine and beauty, he will go to rebellion! Eighteen courage will not be enough!"

Shao Shang wanted to ask more questions, but it was inconvenient to be here at this time. When he spoke, he threatened: "Then you can make a serious oath before I can believe you! You said, if your father really has intentions and actions of rebellion, you will even marry eighteen times and be divorced and go home. , and then died of starvation and cold!"

According to Wang Ji's usual temperament, she had to scold him back, but at this time, she gritted her teeth, and actually uttered a poisonous oath, which shocked Shao Shang.

Shaoshang's thoughts turned extremely fast, and he immediately raised his voice: "...you finally understand it. Now that you have figured it out, go home quickly!"

When the palace people not far away heard it, they all lowered their heads and chuckled, thinking that this lively and witty lady Cheng had the skills.

Wang Li no longer struggled, and respectfully knelt down and begged in a low voice: "I don't know where Eleven was sent by His Majesty, please tell my father and brother a message when you see him, this is really wrong. Before being taken away, he told me 'this matter is in the East Palace', even if Shirou doesn't look at the Wang family, he still depends on His Royal Highness's affection, please help."

Shao Shang didn't answer, just nodded. Then let Lianfang and Sangguo help Wang Ji up and send him out of the palace.

When she came to the queen's inner bed, Zhai was really in a hurry, her wrinkles and white hair had boiled out several times, and Shao Shang hurriedly asked her to go to the kitchen to see the soup and medicine, and then sat down on the queen's side.

After entering the palace for more than half a year, Shao Shang already knew that the queen was the opposite of himself. She seems to be weak and pitiful, but she is actually very resistant. It is not a problem to overturn the fifth prince with her bare hands (hey, why did she use the fifth prince as the unit of measurement).

As for the queen, she has a typical physique of an empty shelled peanut. Looking at her head is strong and strong, she is vulnerable. Whether it is a cold, cough or heat stroke, the queen always recovers slower than others.

Since the beginning of winter, the queen has had a recurrence of cough and has been sick for days; when she heard Peng Zhen's debut, she was immediately overwhelmed. Seeing that her complexion was yellow and sick, Shao Shang secretly sighed and gently kneaded her weak muscles, and occasionally used a horn grate to slowly scrape the swollen hands and feet on her feet.

There is a small red clay stove outside, and a pot of water is burning on the bright red charcoal fire. The steam is boiled out, and the steam is sent into the room through the long-mouth conduit specially made by Shaoshang, so that the indoor air will not be too dry.

I don't know how long it took, the queen woke up leisurely, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the beautiful girl was concentrating on taking care of herself, and she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.

Seeing the queen wake up, Shao Shang hurriedly asked the maid to help the queen sit up against the hidden sac, wipe the sweat, comb her hair and feed the porridge with water, and then the two slowly got up.

Shaoshang said, "Your majesty is so sick, why don't you ask your majesty to come and see you?"

The queen smiled weakly: "Your Majesty hasn't come for two or three days, and I expect him to be unhappy... Don't frown, even if the prince can choose from this matter, there is still Wang Chun. Anyway, these rotten It's all from me."

Shao Shang was irritable and waved his hand like chasing flies: "Madame, let's not talk about this, let the people who should be bothered about these things bother me, the madam has to cheer up anyway, except for His Royal Highness, the maiden. There are other children to worry about!" The

queen seemed to be touched by something, and smiled: "When you came just now, you saw the eldest princess and the second bride?"

Shao Shang regretted for a while, how damn he brought up this topic.

"I originally hoped that they would be of one mind, especially the eldest princess. Your Majesty has always favored their husband and wife, and the concubine is very good at talking in front of the royal family. Who knows... ho ho, the foreign enemies have not yet come in, but they will start fighting in the nest first. It's gone." The

Queen's face showed a mixture of sarcasm and sadness, "The two of them came together, never mentioned the prince in front of me, and insisted on persuading me to take care of my illness and not meddle in court affairs. Especially Your Majesty Now that you are in a rage, don't touch the dragon scales. Can't I hear what they mean?"

"Niangniang..." Shao Shang grabbed the queen's thin hands - who would follow suit when he grabbed the fortune ? When you talk about brotherhood, half a house and two parking spaces are demolished. Ordinary people can play a dog's brain, not to mention the flowers and mountains.

The queen patted Shaoshang's little hand: "Yes, yes, it's not enough to give birth to them and to raise them, and it is not enough to give them glory and wealth. As long as they are not given the supreme position, it will not be enough."

Shaoshang has no idea about this kind of housework . , so he said: "Niang Niang, let's not talk about it, let's talk about your body. You just can't understand your emotions, so you are lingering on the sick bed and it is difficult to recover. As I said, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't be a horse and cattle for their children and grandchildren. The most important thing is to take care of yourself first."

Seeing that the girl kept changing the subject, the queen laughed out loud: "Instead, you didn't think about it as I thought. You know how long my father lived, and how many years my eldest father has lived. Our Xuan family has a long lifespan. Not long. Naturally, my late father was a little early, and he passed away just after he was born, and my late mother was more than ten years older than him. Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, my brother and I have been doing well so far, and I don't know..."

"" Oops, madam, what do you say about this?!" Shaoshang stood up and shouted, refusing to let the queen continue to say, "Miss, you can go home again, and I won't enter the palace in the future!" The

queen laughed After coaxing her repeatedly, Shao Shang sat back again. Seeing that the Queen's spirit was a little short, she pressed her down again. Before leaving the bedchamber

, the queen suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "Did your majesty send Zisheng out again?"

Let them continue to gather together, so His Majesty sent Lord Ling to demolish the property." The

Queen smiled: "What is demolishing the property, it is to give them wealth and honor, and replace them with armor."

"That's right." Shao Shang said briskly, " So Empress do not have to worry, Lord Ling will come back as soon as he hears the wind, and he will definitely have a solution." The

Empress closed her eyes and said softly, "If this happened, Your Majesty is the first to be unhappy. Sheng is the second unhappy one. Shaoshang, don't make trouble with Zisheng, he

knows it." For some reason, Shaoshang could hear a hint of ominous in the Queen's tone, but he thought hard about it, so he could only Shake your head aside.

Halfway through the afternoon, the prince came to the Changqiu Palace with his back slumped. Because the queen fell asleep, he could only sit in the inner bed for a long time without saying a word, and then slowly left when the twilight was getting darker.

Looking at the tired back of the prince, Shao Shang suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Don't talk about the past, just talk about the present. Father Cheng, Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Wan, Aunt Sang... and Ling Budo, all the people she knew in her life were very 'meaningful' people, and they would never be caught off guard. Even Pig Trotter's uncle Cheng Zhi, although he was a bit stupid, would still look for traces of his wife everywhere in the chaos.

The contrast is the second uncle Cheng Cheng. Although Shao Shang sympathizes with him, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of his cowardice and incompetence that Ge Shi can succeed for ten years.

Shaoshang himself is also the value orientation of the former, so to see the prince so lonely, she is both pitiful and somewhat despised. Although the queen is indifferent, but Changqiu Palace is also managed by her Antai meticulously, and there has never been any trouble.

Although in the case of Peng Zhenpan biting Wang Chun, the prince was really wronged. But what about this? It is mediocre not to be envied by others, and there is no way that the East Palace is not immune to open swords and dark arrows. It's not a common practice in the universe for the prince to be secretly hated. What matters is that there must be a solution when something goes wrong.

But the prince could not.

So Shao Shang fell into deep suspicion—she and Ling Budo are now lying on the crown prince's boat, is this boat stable or not, will it capsize!

Early the next morning, the queen felt a little more comfortable, and she used half a bowl of vegetable porridge for breakfast, and then Cen An came running. After conveying the emperor's concern, he deliberately pulled Shao Shang outside the hall and asked her to see the emperor.

Shao Shang was stunned: "Cen's internal officials will pass the word on the condition of the lady's condition, why do you want me to go to face the saint."

Cen Anzhi's eyes flickered: "In case your majesty wants to inquire about the lady's condition in detail, Mrs. Cheng can break it down in detail. Say it."

Shao Shang looked at Cen Anzhi's smiling face, his mind flashed, and narrowed his eyes displeasedly: "Oh, I see."

She pulled Cen Anzhi to the corner, gritted her teeth and said, "This is Your Majesty has been unhappy for a few days. You want to ask His Majesty to teach me a lesson. Good you old Cen. A while ago, when you accepted the heir, I took out all the money from the private house! You hurt me like this, do you feel your heart? It hurts! Tell your son to be careful on the way from school, I have to beat him hard when I see him, this is a father's debt to his son!"

Cen Anzhi listened to the girl's scolding of 'father, son', but he felt a little relieved and thought about himself. He is also a person with a son, so he can't help but secretly satisfy.

He also lowered his voice and said: "Ms. Cheng, don't be ignorant of good people, don't you know why the maiden fell ill? Half of it is a heart disease! The old slave finally encouraged His Majesty to summon the maiden, and the maiden went to the majesty to ask the lady, wouldn't it be better to stay with you? How are you in the Changqiu Palace? If the lady can say a few good words to Your Majesty, then Your Majesty will soften and come to see the Changqiu Palace, won't the lady's illness be cured!"

Shao Shang felt quite reasonable and hesitated. Said: "If I speak carelessly and Your Majesty gets angry, what should I do?"

Cen Anzhi looked at the girl and thought about it: "From my servant's point of view, the lady spoke cautiously and scolded His Majesty. It doesn't matter much if you don't scold you."

Shaoshang was at a loss for words.

She squinted her eyes: "Old Master Cen is so good at doing things, and he sells well on both sides. In the future, he will flourish and have a lot of children and grandchildren. Don't forget to take the little sister.

" ."

—this is a very likable little girl, with a strange charm, as if you were the most ordinary person in her presence. It has nothing to do with the official rank, whether the body is disabled or not, but it's just that they have a good relationship with each other on weekdays, and they look good on each other.

So, Shao Shang reported to the Empress, and followed Cen Anzhi to Shangshutai. According to Cen Anzhi, there should only be a few lecturers accompanying the emperor at this time. Who knew that when they arrived at Shangshutai, Xiao Huangmen, who was on guard at the palace gate, said: : "There are a lot of adults here, and I'm seeing Your Majesty right now. But Your Majesty said just now that Mrs. Cheng will be announced when she comes."

Cen Anzhi seemed to know something, glanced at Shaoshang meaningfully, and then led her Go inside.

Today, the meeting place between the ruler and the minister was not chosen in the main hall, but in the side hall where the emperor called his old brothers to drink and reminisce.

A rude voice said: "...When His Majesty spared them with kindness, not only did they not want to be grateful, but they also harbored resentment and secretly waited for an opportunity to retaliate! According to Yichen, we should cut the grass and root it!"

Then there was a shout of approval. Drinking, it's all 'Yes, that's how it should be', 'If a great kindness becomes an enemy, it is time to kill them all' and so on.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded: "Everyone, don't be impatient. The so-called momentary and momentary, His Majesty spared the Gan'an Yubu for his own purpose. But now that so many years have passed, I am afraid that people's hearts have changed..."

Shao Shang secretly called this person a powerful man, and apparently he seemed to be helping the emperor, but he was actually putting pressure on him.

She listened to the fierce debate inside, and she retreated intentionally, but Cen Anzhi seemed to have a plan, so Xiao Huangmen made a loud report and strode into the side hall, and Shao Shang had to keep up with a bitter face.

There were many people present today. Shaoshang knelt down, kowtowed, raised his arms and bowed his head. The emperor looked at the whole set of etiquette and tugged at the corners of his mouth lightly. Then Shao Shang saluted all the ministers again: "Concubine Cheng, see you all adults." All the

ministers raised their arms in return, looking at the emperor's face.

In a short time of raising his eyes, Shao Shang had already seen the people in the hall -

Marquis Yu and General Wu were definitely there, the former had three or four civil ministers sitting behind them, and the latter had four or five military generals beside them; The Marquis of Dayue and the Marquis of Zhongyue were also there, and around them were some noble and noble officials who were not wearing official robes.

What is more strange is that the third prince is actually there, very maverick sitting in the position under the emperor.

"...How is the Queen's body?" the Emperor asked.

As soon as these words were asked, all the ministers in the hall gestured to each other with their eyes—although today was an informal occasion, they were discussing national affairs after all. Under such circumstances, it was very inappropriate for the emperor to suddenly summon the daughter of a foreign minister to inquire about the queen's condition.

Shao Shang suddenly understood: what the emperor wanted was this inappropriate.

She calmed herself down and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Empress has aggravated cough since the day before yesterday, but this morning, she should not cough, but the stagnation does not resolve, her qi is deficient, her body is cold, she is lethargic, and it is difficult to recover for a while." The

emperor said coldly . : "Wang Chun is a relative of the queen, and if there is such a big thing as collusion with a traitor, the queen should be sick!"

——The queen is like pretending to be sick, this old man is very bad! Less business slander.

"Father," the third prince said suddenly, "Wang Chun married Wen Xiujun, so he is a relative of the empress, not a relative." The

emperor cursed angrily, "Shut up!" Then he turned to face him. Shaoshang said, "I heard that you had a quarrel with Wang Chun's daughter yesterday. I see that you are becoming more and more promising, and you actually quarreled outside the Changqiu Palace!"

Shaoshang secretly called 'here', the emperor smelly old man sure enough Don't let her go!

"Report to Your Majesty." She bowed her head respectfully, "The concubine didn't mean to be rude, but the lady Wang kept saying that the general was wronged, saying that her father would never be able to fornicate with the traitor! She also said..." The

rude The voice rose again, and it turned out to be a burly military general behind General Wu. He only heard him say: "She is Wang Chun's daughter, so it's natural to say that she is wronged. This kind of remark is not worth mentioning..."

General Wu said solemnly: "Your Majesty asked Mrs. Cheng to speak, why do you interrupt and retreat? Get down!"

The Qiu Xu general had no choice but to shut up angrily.

The emperor nodded to Shaoshang: "Continue."

Shao Shang said: "Miss Wang said that General Wang is a mediocre person. As long as there are wine and beauty, he will be satisfied and go to rebellion... How can General Wang be so 'ambitious'!"

She raised her head and said pitifully, "Your Majesty, the concubine also thinks that General Wang Chun is not so courageous, is it a mistake, the empress is worried that she has fallen ill... Look..."

"Ignorance woman! A civil official beside Yuhou was furious, "What do you know about the important affairs of the imperial court! How dare you make a big deal here, it is a serious crime!"

Suddenly, the small yellow door outside the hall announced loudly - "General Wei Ling Budo is here!" The

emperor raised his eyebrows indiscernibly: "Xuan."

Ling Budo entered the hall to salute, got up and sat down, and then said to the civil servant who had reprimanded the young merchant just now: "Li Gong and Cao are very majestic, Listening to my wife's words is not a humiliation to you. It seems that you will not dare to open your mouth to your lord in the future."

Li Gongcao said indignantly: "Today the imperial court is discussing politics, what is the matter with this little girl, she actually..."

"Does Li Gongcao have a crooked eye or a crooked heart." Ling Budo interrupted him, and by the way, he was dissatisfied. looked at the emperor.

"Could it be that my wife broke into the hall to point fingers, or did she intervene on her own initiative? It was clearly summoned by Your Majesty, and His Majesty asked, and my wife reported the truth. Li Gongcao should ask His Majesty to expel my wife from the hall, or Please advise His Majesty not to ask her, you can't be a good man by showing prestige to a little girl over ten years old!" Ling Budo raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of gloom in his voice that Shao Shang had never seen before.

Then Li Gongcao didn't speak any more, only his face was indignant.

"Your Majesty, do you still want my wife to report back? If not, let her go back." Ling Budo reverently played.

The emperor coughed twice, stroking his long beard in disguise: "Mr. Cheng, go on."

Shao Shang had scolded the emperor a hundred and eight times in his stomach, but his face became more and more frightened: "Report to Your Majesty, The concubine heard that the deceased Old Prince Gan An had fifteen sons and twenty-one daughters, and Wen Xiujun was only the eighth daughter, neither the oldest, the youngest, nor the most favored. The general doesn't take it seriously either."

"Why is Mrs. Cheng so aware of these old things?" Yuhou suddenly asked.

Shao Shang was a little embarrassed: "Well, then Wang Yu once criticized his father for being a village husband from Caoze farming, and his concubine was not angry, so he asked about General Wang's past, in order to see Mrs. Biao in the future, and he would not fall behind when they scolded each other. Feng..."

Yu Hou ho ho smiled: "You little girls, hold grudges tight!"

Everyone in the hall laughed lightly, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

"Little lady's words are true." The Marquis of Dayue smiled and said, "When the old lord Qian'an was alive, Wang Chun was never re-used. He had nothing to do with soldiers, horses, food and grass, or even taxation for repairs. There are important things to discuss every day, and he is not called Wang Chun. Attending the meeting."

A noble behind him added: "But it was a blessing in disguise. Later, I went to An Laodong...cough, when the old prince wanted to do something wrong, he didn't have anything to do with him, but he was never implicated."

Shao Shang hurriedly said, "I heard that today's King Gan'an is the fourteenth son of the old prince, and he bullied General Wang back then."

General Wu said, "That's right. Today's King Gan'an is the favored concubine of the old prince. He has been arrogant and domineering since he was a child, and he was not very polite to me back then."

The Qiu-bearded military general approached carefully: "General, he didn't have long legs yet, so he wanted to rob your horse, and he was beaten by you. The fist scared you back!"

Then all the officials in the hall talked about the old affairs of the An Palace, most of which were the old prince's high-mindedness and talent, and the arrogant and arrogant sons, all of which are not good things - among them Wang Chun The reputation is not obvious, except that the background is not bad, the rest is really mediocre.

"If that's the case, then why would General Wang Chun collude with King Gan'an?" Shao Shang said quickly, "Everyone knows, how comfortable General Wang Chun is under His Majesty's hands. His Majesty is tolerant of him, and there are officials. Ranking the power, is he tired of living a good life, let the Qian'an Palace regain its former glory, and then be bullied by the little prince!"

A gentle Confucian student said slowly: "Little lady's words are bad. Maybe Wang Chun It's just a false promise to the king of Gan'an, and he will be removed when the power is in control in the future. With those letters as evidence, the minister thought that Wang Chun's collusion with the king of Gan'an was just bait, and the real intention was to rebel against the king."

Shaoshang immediately recognized it. This is the person who originally had a gentle voice but a strong intention. It seems that the surname is Han. Then she pretended to be surprised: "Yes, but General Wang Chun has been unable to write with his own hand for five or six years." There was silence in the hall, and she replied: "I once heard that General Wang had a

handwriting five or six years ago.

He was seriously injured, and since then he has never written a word or a word, and every written letter is written by a scribe—this Your Majesty knows it." All the

ministers hurried to see the emperor, only to see the emperor nodded slowly: "Injured It's just an excuse, Wang Chun drank too much, and his hands were shaking so he couldn't use the pen. All the ministers, that's why I said just now that there are many suspects in this case, and a detailed trial is needed."

Ling Budo gestured to Shaoshang sideways, Shaoshang said. Knowing that her role in today's scene is over, but the shameful old man can't leave the stage without a word, so she has to move to the side, so that she is completely covered by Ling Budo's figure.

The Duke of Zhongyue frowned: "But the seals and secret notes on those letterheads are all aligned with the General's Mansion." The

emperor pondered a little: "Zisheng, tell me."

Ling Budo said lightly, "The minister and Ji According to what Lord Zun has discussed, this incident is strange from beginning to end, it is not Wang Chun, nor the Gan'an Palace, but Peng Zhen!"

"How do you say this?" Yu Hou was curious. road.

Ling Budoubt said, "None of what Gein planned on the letterheads could come true. First of all, the letter said that he would lead your Majesty to go on an expedition in person - His Majesty is not a warlike monarch, and he knows the importance of strategizing. It's been so many years without a royal expedition. The small land in Shouchun actually wants Your Majesty to be in a personal expedition. It's like a joke." The

emperor smiled and nodded, and all the ministers began to whisper.

"Secondly, the letter said that he wanted to murder Your Majesty during the war. This is even more ridiculous. His Majesty is surrounded by confidants. With His Majesty's skill, it is difficult for anyone to approach within three steps. I really don't know who dares to murder His Majesty lightly, it's a fool's dream!" All

the ministers in the hall laughed, saying that it was true.

Ling Budo continued: "The last one. If everything is as stated in the letter, when His Majesty collapsed during the expedition against Peng Zhen, the crown prince ascended the throne..."

"Bold!" General Wu shouted.

The emperor waved his hand: "It's okay, Zisheng continued."

Ling Budo looked around the crowd: "If the rebels succeed, then the first thing the crown prince will do after ascending the throne is to revenge for his father and his family and punish Peng Zhen— - In this way, Peng Zhen is even more likely to die, how can you talk about 'Wang and Peng families share wealth'?!"

This time, even the qiu-bearded military general of Shicai was fascinated and muttered: "This is not right... "

It's really not right." Ling Budo said, "I have already asked Peng Zhen, and he also felt that the words in the letter were difficult to come true, but he still hid the letter."

Marquis Yu said solemnly: "There are indeed many suspicious points in this case, and it should be investigated in detail!"

At this time, no one was shouting and killing the Qian An clan. The emperor smiled with satisfaction, and turned his head to see the third prince who was there with the old god, and said: "Thirdest, why don't you speak." The

third prince said, "The father and the emperor told the son and minister to shut up." The

emperor was speechless.

"Okay, then, my son, say a few words." The third prince said, "Today, the father and the emperor wanted to choose one of the several scholars who preached the scriptures to the son. Who knows that all the adults rushed into the Shangshutai in a mighty manner. I still think it's a big matter, it turns out to be just a small case..."

The Qiu Xu military general muttered: "It's about a major case of conspiracy, how can it be called a mere..."

"This matter is only two solutions." Ignoring him, he continued talking to himself, "Either Wang Chun was wronged, then it would be a matter of finding out who forged the letterhead; or Wang Chun had indeed colluded with Peng Ni and King Qian An - but Peng Zhen is already a prisoner. , King Gan'an is just a bird in the palm of his hand. What kind of tricks can a group of incompetent people find! I really don't understand, you adults are so mobilized... Has the sky fallen, and the enemy troops have hit the city? It's really difficult. I believe it."

One of the nobles refused to give up: "But His Royal Highness intends to..."

Ling Budoubt said: "If you want to involve the Crown Prince, you must have a letter from His Royal Highness the Prince, a seal of the East Palace, now everything is nothing. , even Wang Chun's guilt can't be convicted, so there's no need for your lord to be so anxious."

There was a strange atmosphere in the hall, Dayuehou and Zhongyuehou looked helplessly at each other, and Yuhou shook with a smile. With instant noodles, General Wu leisurely finished the drink in front of him.

Li Gongcao's face was gloomy: "I dare to ask the third prince, if it is found out that Prince Gan'an is involved in this matter, what should we do?"

The qiu-bearded general also straightened up: "Yes, do you want to let them go!"

" Trying to usurp the throne, committing disorder, and dealing with it according to the law, is it possible that there are still rebels to celebrate the festival?" The third prince didn't even move his brows.

Li Gongcao and General Qiu Xu sat back with satisfaction.

Shao Shang understood, there were roughly three groups of people who came to see the old man today.

First, Li Gongcao and Qiu Xu Wuwei represented the 'take the opportunity to kill the Gan'an clan' faction. Most of them had blood feuds with the Gan'an palace, and they seemed to have the largest number of them.

Second, Marquis Yu, General Wu, and two Marquis Yue were brought over by their subordinates—their family vassalizes you, and as your younger brother, you have to help them out. Besides, they all have some secret thoughts.

The most incomprehensible to Shao Shang was the gentle and gentle Lord Han, who seemed to have a high official rank, but she still doesn't know her intentions.

"Okay, since it's not a big deal..." The emperor glanced around, "Young third, go to trial Wang Chun with Zisheng, and ask for the inside information to report." The

third prince responded unfamiliarly, Ling Bu Doubtful bowing.

Shao Shang looked at the emperor with great interest, and found that since she came in until the matter was settled and the ministers appeased, the old man of the emperor did not even change his sitting posture slightly leaning against the armrest. His tone was always calm, his eyes were always gentle, his whole person was like a statue on a Buddhist altar, neither frightened nor angry, suitable for idleness and elusiveness.

In fact, he didn't say anything, and he didn't argue with any of the courtiers. He just let everyone argue for themselves, and then everything was settled. Shao Shang admired the old man. The dragon chair is really not something that ordinary people can sit on. Just a few minutes.

After the emperor ordered the parent and adopted son, he turned around and saw that the girl seemed to be looking at him eagerly. He thought for a moment and said, "If the queen wants to send someone to go with you, you can also bring it with you."

Shao Shang raised his head blankly. ,This is Are you saying...she...?
