The happy life of the devil and the devil

At any time, the emperor's will is the weathervane of the entire court.

Yuan Shao thought that he had done it very covertly. He took the prince with him to handle state affairs and meet courtiers.Even if the people in the East Palace are not allowed to meet outsiders these days, and even the greetings of female relatives are stopped, for the time being... it won't make people guess that there has been a change in the crown prince's family.

Unexpectedly, it was only the next day that the papers of impeachment were handed over.

The person who was impeached was a small master of the Prince's East Palace, and the crime was not serious, but he used his power to bully others and bought [-] acres of fertile land in his hometown for a price of one tael per mu - the normal market price should be five taels of silver per mu.Because no one was killed during the process, Yuan Shao ordered someone to verify the situation. If the situation was true, he would order the land to be returned, and he would just be dismissed from office.

Then, on the third day, the impeachment memorials grew to five.The target has been expanded from the officials of the East Palace to the in-laws of their clansmen, and the crimes have also risen from occupying the people's land to corrupting the law, robbing the wives and daughters of good people, stealing and selling the grain stored in the official warehouse, and so on.On the fourth day, the number of memorials piled up in front of him exceeded twenty!

However, at the same time, the impeachment of the queen for forging evidence and the memorial to frame the prince also piled up a small pile on the right hand side of the imperial case.

Yuan Shao sat in front of the royal case in the west room of Zhaoxin Hall with a cold face.On the left, led by Lei Yong, a group of military generals looked at their noses, noses, and mouths, and tried their best to minimize their sense of existence, pretending that they didn't see or hear anything.On the right hand side, the official obeisance to the left privy envoy, now it is hard to say whether he is the current or the former head of the country, gesticulating and talking endlessly.

"Your Majesty! This is obviously a false accusation! The crown prince has been personally educated by His Majesty for more than [-] years, and has supervised the country several times. He has never lost his morals. How could he do such a frenzied and appalling thing!"

"As soon as Li Minxing's memorial was published, many villains immediately impeached the crown prince's subordinates. This is obviously collusion, with the intention to shake the foundation of the country!"

"If you are not of my race, their hearts must be different! Your Majesty, those who framed the prince have sinister intentions, Your Majesty, think twice!"

You are the race that is not mine, and your heart must be different!When Zuo Pingzhang and Shen Shiliang heard "a villain impeached the crown prince's subordinates", he already wanted to throw the table.Although the person impeached was not his subordinate, the Shen family is quite powerful in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and some of the people who followed up the investigation were members of their Shen family.Hearing the latter sentence again, he couldn't bear it with his composure—the queen is from Xia, and we are also from Xia!According to what you say, we should all get out of the court to make way for you!

"Your gentleman is magnanimous! If the prince's officials are really innocent and upright, who are afraid of being impeached! If they really did these things, shouldn't they cover their ears and eyes and let the prince be surrounded by villains!"

"Criticizing the crown prince's subordinates like this is obviously harboring evil intentions!"

"Without evidence, you say that someone framed the prince, you are harboring evil intentions! You also cover up saying that you are not of my race, who are you referring to, do you dare to say it!"

"Your Majesty!" the old country head howled, and turned to Yuan Shao: "Your Majesty is decisive! Those who interrogated the assassins and investigated the assassination of General Heishui were all from Xuanjiawei! They can't make any confession! Then Li Minxing served as a guard in Xuanjiawei for two years, he wrote a letter to accuse the crown prince of plotting to assassinate General Heishui, who ordered him to do so, no one can tell!"

He fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed desperately: "Since your majesty married the current empress, the prince has always been blamed. Even when he was assassinated last year, he didn't investigate to the end. The old man... the old man is really unfair to the prince! Your majesty! The queen has tens of thousands of troops. , Dangping Su Luo, with eleven more princes by his side, if things go on like this, I am afraid that the foundation of the country will be shaken, Your Majesty!"

"enough!"

Yuan Shao slapped the desk with a bang.The big red sandalwood case, which had been replaced for only one year, was shaken twice, rattled several times, and fell down with a table full of memorials, ink brushes, inkstones and seals.

"I know it well! In the case of General Heishui's assassination, I have sent officials from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to arrest him. When all the criminals and assassins arrive in Beijing, I will interrogate them myself. I will never let anyone take the opportunity to frame the prince! As for the queen— —”

His face was full of anger, and he appointed Namyan, who was kneeling below with a bruised forehead, and said every word:

"Do you know he's still fighting! He's fighting on the front line, risking his life, and you're accusing him of framing the crown prince! And Xiao Shiyi is also involved. Are you trying to sow discord between the father and son of the Tian family, or are you disrespecting the front line?" Can't lose fast enough!"

Regardless of Namyan's pale face and kowtow to apologize, he stood up, his eyes were cold, and he slid past the important officials standing on both sides one by one:

"Prince, where the country is based, it cannot be shaken. Empress, respect my enemies equally! Give me a moment to calm down—"

His fingers brushed across the impeachment memorial, which was still clearly separated from the left and right ends of the court case, which had been scattered all over the place at the moment, raised his arm, and waved vigorously:

"Don't think I don't know what your plans are!"

After roaring, no matter whether they were facing the queen or the prince in their hearts, the courtiers who were qualified to participate in the court meeting all bowed their heads and retreated.Yuan Shao was left sitting alone on the imperial throne, propping his head with one hand, only feeling that the veins on his forehead were twitching, and it was about to jump out of his forehead.

It's all because of Li Minxing!

You wouldn't quietly report such a big matter to me!I know that you have been wronged, and that your father almost died. If you report the matter, won't I give you justice?

Don't make things worse!

...It's all right now, the faction against the prince and the faction against the empress are just about to fight in front of me!

Sighing, and sighing again, he finally got up and entered the room, rubbing the ink and brushing the paper, pouring out his depression and anger word by word:

"Longevity..."

When Yuan Shao's letter was sent to the front line, Ling Yucheng had already crossed the Qingjiang River, and the army advanced all the way like a broken bamboo, approaching the capital of King Suluo.

And the city named Hanshan was Su Luo's last stand under the iron hooves of Beiliang's army--

Glancing at the blue-black city wall several feet high in the distance, Ling Yucheng stepped back and slowly unfolded the letter in the shadow of the flagpole.Yuan Shao's steep and straight handwriting came into view, and before he could read the contents of the letter clearly, he already held his breath involuntarily.

--Half a month ago, Li Minxing's report was sent to the desk quickly.At that moment, if the person who delivered the letter was not the small school of Black Water Guard but Li Minxing himself, he could really draw a sword and pierce people through several transparent holes!

That bastard!For such a big matter, he dared to go past him and play it without authorization, that's not to say, he actually confessed it openly!

Even if you want to trouble the prince, it should be after the class teacher returns!The more intense the battle in the front, the more stable the rear must be, otherwise the front will need reinforcements and important local officials, and the back will be busy investigating cases, catching people and killing people, and a large number of officials have no interest in political affairs.Party disputes must be suppressed, not to mention the impeachment of the crown prince, which shakes the foundation of the country!

Anger is nothing but anger, even arresting and beating Li Minxing will not help.At this time, apart from flying pigeons to send a letter to Yuan Shao and tell him to meet the memorial immediately without leaking it, except to wait for the weather to clear up and cross the river as soon as possible, and finish the battle as soon as possible, all he can do is to be silent. Pray to God.

After half a month, Yuan Shao's reply finally landed heavily in his hands.

The memorial is up.

The ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

The two factions who impeached the Crown Prince for the crimes committed by officials, and impeached the Empress for framing the Prince, quarreled in front of the imperial court—

That depression and anger almost overflowed from the pen.

worst case scenario.

Ling Yucheng slowly rolled up the letterhead, and inspected the city defenses around Hanshan Mountain calmly. After arranging the military affairs for the day, he returned to the military tent and waved away the guards serving in the tent.Just as he wanted to be quiet, there was the sound of pattering footsteps, and a child who was less than half his height ran over and threw himself on his back.

"Master, master! I finished my homework for today!"

"It's finished so soon? Show it to Master!"

The little limp body was leaning against his knees, while Ling Yucheng absently stroking the child's thin hair, he picked up the vermilion pen and corrected Xiao Shiyi's homework word by word for today.Dots in circles, triangular red crosses, all over the paper in a short while, dripping red dyed between the ink blots, in a trance, there is an illusion of judging fate.

Little Eleven's aptitude is really good.He was determined at such a young age, and he didn't have much time to supervise these days. However, the child's civil and military studies did not fall for a single day.Not to mention, no matter how hard the march was, I never heard him complain, or use it to act coquettishly and slack off his homework...

However, the more talented and beautiful he is, the more he thinks of Yuan Shao's indistinct, intentional or unintentional mentions and beatings over and over again--

"It's not that I can't choose a child with a higher background for Lang'er, but even when the prince entered school, the companions around him were nothing more than this identity."

"You don't give in, what do you want to be satisfied! Is it possible that I have to abolish the prince--"

"There was nothing wrong with it, but something big happened to her!"

"Teach him to serve the people so early? Are you in a hurry to pass Qingzhou to him?"

"It's good to take him out for a walk. Take a look at this place in advance, so you can count in the future..."

Yuan Shao didn't want Yi Chu at all—of course, neither did he.To abolish a grown-up prince who has a wife and son, has supervised the country several times, made minor mistakes but no major faults, and entrusted the country to a six-year-old child. Those who do such things have always been foolish kings, and it is absolutely not worth it Allegiance to him!

If in another ten years, if Yuen Long grows up to be 16 years old in peace and safety, and shows enough aptitude and talent to take on the country, then he has no objection to this child raised by himself trying to gain enough merit and prestige, and then fight for the reserve. bit.But now, there is absolutely no way for him to let Xuanjiawei and his brothers get involved in the tragic battle for succession again!

However, he thought so, what about others?The most important thing is, Yuan Shao, what do you think?

The piles of memorials impeaching the officials of the Eastern Palace and intending to attack the prince, they may not necessarily, they all want to help King Kang to the throne.

There are also piles of memorials impeaching him for framing the prince. Could it be that he framed the prince for himself?

"The queen has an army of tens of thousands, and she has pacified Suluo, and there are eleven princes by her side. If things go on like this, I'm afraid the foundation of the country will be shaken, Your Majesty!"

Look, look.It was one person who yelled this in person, and talked about it behind his back, and speculated in private, I don't know how much.

While reviewing, I listened to the children whispering in my ears, talking and laughing, completely carefree and innocent.Ling Yucheng made the last stroke of Little Eleven's homework, and praised the child with a smile. Seeing that little face was about to shine, he couldn't help saying: "Lang'er..."

"Master?"

"Lang'er, would you like to—" the words came back abruptly, and he stroked his head and said:

"Go to see the city defense with Master?"

The author has something to say: Your Majesty: It's so annoying, it's because Li Min is not good, why didn't you take care of him and then let him go, causing me so much trouble!

Big Meow huddled into a ball depressed...
