who knows how to cross

In the 19th year of Yan Guojiahe, the queen gave birth to a princess, and the whole country celebrated together.Being a father for the first time, the emperor Nanmenyi was overjoyed, named the princess Xiao, and bestowed the title You Ning, wishing the little princess a safe life and blessings for peace.

Princess Youning is smart, unparalleled in resourcefulness, has the beauty of the country, and is loved by the people.

In the 37th year of Yan Guojiahe, the queen added another son, and the emperor Nanmen Yi took the name of his son Yan, and immediately became the prince.

In the 42nd year of Jiahe, the empress died of illness, and the emperor Nanmenyi became ill from missing him, and died the next month.The court was in chaos, and the whole country was in grief.Princess Youning Nanmen Xiao took the prince to show Gaozong's will on the main hall.The edict said: Prince Nanmenyan is the emperor, the emperor is young, the prime minister Su Qi, the general Weiguan, Zhao Guogong Zhao Yikui, Qing Wang Nanmen Kou four people assist the government, and Princess Youning listens to the government behind the curtain.

Afterwards, Nanmenyan held a grand enthronement ceremony and created the reign name Yongyan.

In the first year of Yongyan, Chen Guo took the opportunity to invade, and the border customs reported an emergency. Princess Youning sent General Wei Guan to lead the army to resist the enemy.The war lasted for a year, and the national power of Yan State was severely damaged.Zhao Guogong took the opportunity to suppress Wei Guan and other forces in the court and cultivate Eagle Claws.

In the spring of the second year of Yongyan, good news spread at the frontier pass. The general Weiguan defeated the Chen army and led his troops back to the dynasty.A few days later, Zhao Guogong accused the Prime Minister Su Qi of colluding with foreign enemies, and sent several letters of collusion with the enemy to show it to the public.The prime minister was unable to refute, and was sentenced to copy and behead all the families.

In the winter of the second year of Yongyan, Zhao Guogong was in power and gradually controlled the government.

At the end of the second year of Yongyan, Princess Youning gave Zhao Guogong a singer.

In the third year of Yongyan, the northern capital was in turmoil.

In the fourth year of Yongyan, Zhao Guogong was about to move.

Forever five years...

Nanmen Xiao looked at the shadows of trees receding outside through the drawn curtain, and fell into deep thought...

———————For five years———————

In the fifth year of Yongyan, Nanmen Xiao's birthday.

Nanmen Xiao, who had just passed her birthday, was alone at the gate of her palace, wearing a light blue tulle dress, looking up at the bright moon that belonged to her.The bright moon is extremely beautiful, and there is a faint hazy brilliance around the clouds.

The servant Xiaozhu hurried in from the outside, ignoring the cold, he knelt down in front of Nanmen Xiao, holding out something in his hands, "After three years of dormancy, Qingge finally gained Zhao Guogong's trust and stole the evidence!"

Nanmen Xiao's eyes flickered, and the bright moon gradually dimmed in her eyes.

"The evidence is in your hands, where is Qingge?"

Nanmen Xiao's fair and slender neck moved, and she slowly turned her head to look at Xiaozhu who was kneeling on the ground. Her voice was not low, but extremely faint.

Xiaozhu lowered his head and remained silent.

Nanmen Xiao looked at her, looked at her, the line of her slightly pursed lips suddenly curved upwards in a big arc, Nanmen Xiao smiled, very charmingly, not at all like the calm and cold look before.

"Immediately, arrest, Zhao Guogong."

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure outside the door silently took the token in her hand and left...

"Mr. Zhao Guo is obedient to his duties, so he must be framed by others!"

"Mr. Zhao Guo is loyal and loyal, and he is definitely not a corrupt person. I hope the Holy One will learn from me!"

"Duke Zhao, the elder of the two dynasties, please forgive me!"

In the majestic hall, Nanmen Yan looked back at Nanmen Xiao in bewilderment. Today, he and his sister Huang were going to punish Zhao Guogong. He just asked if he could confess, and half of the people in the hall knelt down.Zhao Yikui, no matter how young and ignorant the little emperor was, he couldn't like him.This person has never stopped in the court since he became the throne. He was forced to deal with this person or that person all day long, and he even wanted to force the imperial sister to get married. It was really abhorrent.But Huang Jie told him that he is the emperor and cannot lose his temper easily like other children. Huang Jie said that he would laugh, no matter who Zhao Guogong asked her to deal with, even if it was a good person, he would smile and nod to him.

"Your Majesty, I have ironclad evidence."

Qing Wang Nanmen Kou took out an account book from his arms.

"Please take a look at the emperor's ministers first!"

Hearing the word "hard evidence", the general Wei Guan who hadn't gnawed a word suddenly stepped forward and took the things in Nanmen Kou's hand and looked at it himself.Seeing that no one from the princess or the emperor blamed him, all the officials turned their eyes to the account book in Wei Guan's hand, either curious or frightened.

Wei Guan flipped through the account book page by page, his face became more and more ugly, and his hands trembled.

Nanmen Xiao looked at Wei Guan from a distance through the curtain, with a smile on his lips.

Closing the account book with a snap, no matter where he was, Wei Guan pointed at Zhao Guogong who was kneeling on the ground with trembling hands, and said in a very angry tone, "Okay! Zhao Yikui, you old man! When you fought against Chen Kingdom back then, you actually It was you who withheld military rations from it. Do you know how many soldiers in our dynasty did not die in the hands of Chen Jun in that battle, but died of hunger in the end! Back then, you, an old man, justly accused Su Qi of collaborating with the enemy. In vain, the old man is still grateful to you after he came back, the old man is really confused!"

Wei Guan is a military general, and his voice is like a bell when he usually speaks. At this moment, he became angry and made half of the officials kneeling on the ground tremble. Frightened by the general's aura, several kneeling people stood up. .

"In the 32nd year of Jiahe, there was a locust plague in Xidu, and the people were displaced. Emperor Gaozong appropriated 80 taels of silver from the treasury and ordered Xu Changyuan, the minister of the household department, to take it to Xidu to relieve the disaster. After investigation, Xu Changyuan, the servant of the household department, embezzled 40 yuan of the disaster funds. Ten thousand taels, in the 34th year of Jiahe, 40 taels of silver were secretly transported to Duke Zhao’s mansion.”

"In the 40th year of Jiahe, there was another flood in the western capital. Emperor Gaozong allocated 100 million taels of silver. Zhao Guogong invited him to go to the western capital to relieve the disaster. On the way, 60 taels of silver were robbed. After investigation, at the end of the 40th year of Jiahe, the 60 taels All the silver was transported secretly to Duke Zhao's residence."

"In the 41st year of Jiahe, when he opened a course to obtain a scholar, Zhao Guogong served as the chief examiner, and he accepted bribes ranging from bribes to a hundred officials.

The officials gasped, and those who were kneeling on the ground stood up one after another.

The king of Qing showed the evidence, and the general Wei Guan counted Zhao Guogong's major crimes on the spot in the main hall. .

"Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?"

Nanmen Xiaohuo didn't seem to hear, he tilted his head through the curtain and asked Prime Minister Duan Minwen.As a prime minister, he was a little too silent.

Duan Minwen glanced at Zhao Yikui who was on the ground, and frowned.For a long time, there have been several factions in the court. Because of the lessons learned by the previous prime minister, he, the prime minister, has always maintained a neutral attitude. Right now, Her Royal Highness does not ask about the general Weiguan, nor about Wang Nanmen bandits, but only about him. Prime Minister, it seems that he is going to stand in line.Once Zhao Guogong falls, the imperial power must begin to concentrate. At this moment, whether it is the princess's temptation or a casual question, the prime minister seems unable to answer Zhao Guogong's questions casually.

"It's better to put Zhao Guogong in prison first."

Nanmen Xiao nodded to Duan Minwen, "Then, according to what the Prime Minister said, put Mr. Zhao Guo in prison."

Nanmen Xiao thought about it, Zhao Yikui was the elder of the two dynasties, and there were many party members in the dynasties. If he was convicted suddenly, he might jump over the wall in a hurry and cause chaos.For a while, there was no choice but to be put in prison first, and then make a decision.
