[Rebirth] The lord wants a minister to die

Qin Fang paced back and forth for a long time, feeling uneasy, King Lan insisted that he was framed because he discovered He Zhan's identity. The emperor sent He Zhan for no reason, and he looked like he would never let it go, Qin Fang was very anxious.

He Zhan...how is it Xie Jinghong's son?

Xie Jinghong is not a simple murderer, he is a sinner, a sinner of the entire Dajing Kingdom.If this person is included in the annals of Yasukuni history, he will be scolded by all ages, so... how could the emperor let He Zhan go so easily?

Qin Fang couldn't sleep or eat, and sat by the candlelight for a long time, but couldn't think of a good countermeasure.

"Master Qin."

A voice suddenly sounded from behind Qin Fang, it was pleasant to hear, but it really startled Qin Fang.He instinctively touched the knife by the table, but the handle was already held by one hand. Qin Fang raised his eyes and saw that it was Yang Yingzhao who came.

Qin Fang looked at the half-opened window in amazement, never knowing that Yang Yingzhao's kung fu of "entering the hall and entering the room" was so superb.

Yang Ying made a dull face: "Prince Rui ordered me to interrogate Prince Lan."

"At this time?" Qin Fang looked at Ye Tian outside the window, "It seems a little late."

"I have some things to confirm, and I would like to ask Mr. Qin for your convenience." Yang Yingzhao's voice was calm, and she slowly bent over as a salute.

"There's no need to talk about this between us." Qin Fang had the cheek to touch Yang Yingzhao's hand.

Yang Yingzhao caught a glimpse of his little gesture and glared at him: "How dare you?"

As soon as Qin Fang touched a little bit, he withdrew his hand suddenly as if touching coal fire, looked at Yang Yingzhao timidly, and said, "Let's go... let's go."

When Yang Ying was recruited into the prison, he saw Prince Lan wearing a prison uniform. Compared with the stateless above the court, he seemed extremely calm at this time.

Prince Lan looked at Yang Yingzhao quietly.Yang Yingzhao asked through the iron fence, "Who is behind the scenes?"

Prince Lan smiled with curved lips, and his eyes were dark: "Unfortunately, Emperor Jing Zhao is still thinking about the arrow that He Zhan blocked for him, otherwise...he would not let Xie Jinghong's son be an official in the court."

"Let me ask you, who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Yang Yingzhao couldn't help being led away, her beautiful eyes were cold, "If no one helps you, you don't have the guts to provoke the Duke."

"Your Excellency, let me tell you that he and He Zhan will meet soon, old friends meet again, please prepare a jar of wine for him."

"You are just a pawn being driven. If you are willing to name the person who ordered you, the prince can spare your life."

King Lan didn't answer, he stroked his useless hand, and laughed a few times brokenly: "My lord told me from the beginning that I'm just a pawn, but so what?"

The man caressed his face, and he looked into the depths of the adult's eyes, only to realize that the gods in the world are nothing more than this.

——Even if it is disabled, even if it is a pawn, it still has its function.Are you willing to give your life for me?

Duke Lan choked out a mouthful of blood foam unexpectedly, and Yang Yingzhao was shocked: "Qin Fang! Open the prison door!"

Qin Fang rushed over with a knife in hand, and saw King Lan lying on the iron bed, convulsing all over, with blood dripping from his eyes, nose and mouth.He quickly opened the door of the cell and breathed the breath of King Tanlan, he was already dead.

He was bleeding from the seven orifices, he never thought that a bully like Prince Lan would choose such a vicious way to end his life.

Yang Yingzhao said with a stern face: "He did it on purpose!" The unconvicted King Lan died in the prison of Dali Temple for no reason, and he chose Yang Yingzhao to die when he was interrogated privately.Even if the emperor believed that Prince Lan committed suicide, he could still be charged with the crime of ineffective supervision at Dali Temple.

Qin Fang withdrew the knife and pushed Yang Yingzhao out of the cell with a calm face: "You go first, I will handle the matter here."

"Qin Fang...!"

"Don't worry, Jing Rong, you trust me." Qin Fang let go of his smile and looked at Yang Yingzhao firmly, "Go!"

Yang Yingzhao has never been a wavering person, so delaying here for too long will do her no good.She leaped out, submerged into the darkness like a shadow, and immediately rushed back to Prince Rui's Mansion to tell everything about Dali Temple.

Ning Jin was whipped, although his injuries were not serious, but he had to suffer for a few days.He Zhan stayed to take care of Ning Jin. He was afraid that he would not sleep honestly at night and would touch Ning Jin's back, so he insisted on leaning on the head of the bed to take a nap, and refused to go to bed.

He Zhan sat in the big candlelight, leaning on the bedside to read a book, looking down at Ning Jin from time to time.He tugged at Ning Jin's collar, Ning Jin grabbed his hand with his eyes closed, put it on his lips and kissed it: "Uncle, sleep too."

He Zhan said: "I'm not sleepy. Don't think about other things, just focus on sleeping. Why can't you sleep now? Does it hurt?"

Ning Jin smiled and said, "Uncle won't sleep with me, how can I sleep?"

He Zhan: "..." It doesn't seem to hurt.

Yang Yingzhao knocked on the door, He Zhan withdrew his hand and asked someone to come in.

Yang Yingzhao nodded to the two of them: "King Lan committed suicide, just when I went to interrogate him."

She recounted the situation in the prison, and when she mentioned the words "old friend reunited", she fixed her gaze on He Zhan and asked, "The person who ordered King Lan is a friend of Third Uncle."

friend?He Zhan was about to laugh.How can he have any friends?

He Zhan said: "I asked King Lan to leave these words to see me mess myself up? Not to mention this, King Lan died in Dali Temple without a doubt. It seems that someone has to take responsibility for this matter."

Yang Yingzhao said: "Qin Fang said he would handle this matter."

"Him?" He Zhan raised his eyebrows, "If it's someone else, maybe the jailer will take the blame. Let Qin Fang do it, and he will only take the blame himself."

Yang Yingzhao frowned.Ning Jin turned sideways and looked at He Zhan: "Once King Lanjun dies, the emperor may be suspicious of you. Now the situation is very unfavorable to you. Uncle, consider resigning?"

He Zhan had never expressed his attitude before, but whenever Fan Ningjin asked, He Zhan climbed up to kiss him once, such a method...Ning Jin has never been able to resist.

He Zhan was thinking about Ning Jin's words... resignation or something...

Forget it.

It took He Zhan ten years to get to this point.It's hard to say whether he can last another ten years with his body.Let him become a beggar?Didn't he just chop off his head and start over!

Of course, he would never say such words to Ning Jin.

Thousands of ideas swirled in his mind, He Zhan nodded and said:

"Tomorrow, the minister will enter the palace to meet the emperor."

He said he was entering the palace, but before entering the palace, He Zhan made a detour to the blacksmith's shop.Earlier, he had asked a blacksmith to forge a dagger, which was finished very early on, and it had been left here without coming to pick it up.

He Zhan took the short sword and weighed it in his hand to test its weight. It was light and nimble, and it was very delicately made.

When entering the palace for a routine inspection, He Zhan said that the sword was the fourth prince Ning Ke's favorite. When the Yulin army heard that it belonged to the little devil in the world, they dared to check again, so they let it go.

Before going to the emperor in front of him, He Zhan made a special trip to Concubine Shu's palace and found Ning Ke who was playing with the palace servant's neck.

Concubine Shu was away, and Ning Ke became even more mad in the palace. When he saw He Zhan coming, he asked the palace servant to lie on He Zhan's body with his back on his back, strangled him tightly, and said, "Ride a pony!"

He Zhan squatted down and put Ning Ke down.Ning Ke didn't want to give up, and said happily, "Master, how about you teach me how to ride a horse this time?"

He Zhan said: "Your Highness, the minister is leaving."

Ning Ke frowned in dissatisfaction: "He Zhan, you haven't come to play with me in the palace for a long time! If you do this again, I will never forgive you."

He Zhan smiled and handed the dagger to Ning Ke.Ning Ke got a tailor-made small sword, not to mention how happy He Zhan was coaxing him, and skillfully swung the sword flower: "You are really good at flattering tricks."

He Zhan said: "Thanks to the person above you, I am going to retire from office. It is my blessing that I will never see Your Highness again. This is regarded as a gift from you. Your Highness can practice swords by himself in the future. "

He Zhan didn't say much, turned around and left the palace, walking towards the imperial study.

Ning Ke chased him out, called He Zhan, and pointed his sword at him: "What do you mean! Your Highness hasn't played enough, and you want to leave? He Zhan, why don't you even know how to be a dog?"

He Zhan looked at Ning Ke with his mouth curled up, with disgust on his face: "I won't play with you anymore, goodbye."

He Zhan wandered towards the imperial study. Emperor Jing Zhao was discussing matters with the cabinet scholars, so He Zhan could only wait outside, which lasted all morning.

A few academicians came out one after another, all talking about the suicide of King Lan last night.According to the meaning of the emperor, the death of King Lan County without trial was due to the dereliction of duty of Dali Temple, and Qin Fang, the minister of Dali Temple, was the first to bear the brunt.

The emperor demoted Qin Fang, in fact he was protesting against Prince Rui.

At the beginning, King Fengming was very optimistic about Prince Rui, and the two of them worked together to investigate the remnants of the previous dynasty and the talisman lineage, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that King Fengming was biased towards Prince Rui.Back then, King Fengming strongly recommended Qin Fang, and Qin Fang got the post of Shaoqing in Dali Temple, so he belonged to Prince Rui's party.

As soon as the matter of Prince Lan happened this time, Qin Fang impeached King Lan, which was well received, and several officials asked the emperor to severely punish King Lan.Qin Fang is not a man who can deal with things, he doesn't have such skills.After thinking about it deeply, the emperor realized that his third son had gained such prestige at some point.Although he felt guilty towards Ning Jin, he would not allow him to act recklessly in the court.

Now that Qin Fang was demoted, He Zhan knew what the emperor meant.Under such circumstances, he must not lose his official position.

He Zhan was holding the court clothes upright, waiting for the call, but Ning Ke stopped He Zhan in front of him.

Ning Ke stared at He Zhan and snorted, "He Zhan, you really have a way!"

He Zhan smiled: "I don't understand the meaning of the Fourth Highness."

"'He' told me that you didn't want to leave, but you wanted to stay, otherwise you wouldn't have given me that sword." Ning Ke said, "You are really scary, you can easily control other people's emotions. Do you want to Let His Highness intercede for you?"

really.

Facing the sudden change, Ning Ke at this age obviously couldn't deal with it calmly. If someone hadn't been pointing behind his back, Ning Ke would not have discovered the key so quickly.

He Zhan was also frank: "Your Highness is wise."

The little eunuch in the imperial study bowed to the two masters outside. Seeing the fourth prince, the little eunuch put on a flattering smile: "Your Highness, the emperor is still dealing with political affairs, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see you."

Ning Ke gave He Zhan a dissatisfied look, and said to the little eunuch, "My Highness, don't wait! Let me in!"

Regardless of the obstruction, Ning Ke hurriedly rushed into the imperial study.

He Zhan is not only fun, but also hateful, not ordinary hateful!In the past, "that person" said that He Zhan was annoying, but Ning Ke still didn't believe it.In his eyes, He Zhan is a very lovable darling, but now he knows what he hates about this person.

Looking at Ning Ke's back, He Zhan smiled.Betting the chips on Ning Ke is really a gamble. 'That person' loves Ning Ke very much, as long as Ning Ke still has fun with him, 'that person' will not let He Zhan leave the capital easily.

He Zhan entered the door, saw Emperor Jing Zhao kneel down, put the court clothes high in front of his forehead and said: "Sinful officials... see the emperor."

Emperor Jing Zhao put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Aiqing, what are you doing?"

"The guilty minister was raised in the Duke of Zhong's mansion since he was a child, and all the virtues he received came from his father's teachings. Since he was sensible, he has regarded the four characters of "loyalty and righteousness" as his standard, and he often regards adhering to the legacy of the Duke as a matter of pride. It is ridiculous that my biological father is actually a sinner of the Jing Kingdom through the ages. The support of the princess and Duke Zhong is unforgettable, but I dare not tarnish the reputation of the He family because of my own body; Dear ones, the emperor holds the criminal minister in high regard, and I feel guilty and uneasy to receive this kindness. Now it is the fault of the minister that the emperor is worried about the criminal minister's life experience."

He Zhan put the court uniform on the ground, leaned down and said, "I am not qualified to inherit the title of Zhongguo Duke, let alone be a Grand Master. I hope the emperor will take back his order. Long live, long live."

Emperor Jing Zhao sighed: "Ke'er has already told me about your resignation."

"Fourth Highness...?"

"Pei Zhi..."

This sound made He Zhan tremble, and saw Emperor Jing Zhao tiredly holding his aching forehead, and said: "You saved me, if I suspect you, is there anyone trustworthy around me?"

He Zhan bowed his head with a flattered look on his face: "... Your Majesty?"

"Young boy, you helped me take care of the two children, and you once led the third child to study with you. Ke'er, who is not familiar with you, is willing to protect you like this. It shows that you treat each other sincerely. I can see what Aiqing has done. Seeing you, I will pay attention to you becoming a grand teacher and assisting the prince."

He Zhan wiped away his tears with his sleeve, excited and trembling: "But... criminal minister... Xie Jinghong used to be that kind of person..."

"Aunt Huang adopted you as an adopted son and gave you your surname. You are a member of the He family, and you are the son of Duke Zhong. It is my will to confer titles and officials, and there is no need for others to question them. Aiqing, do you understand? ?”

"Sir... Thank you Lord Long En." He seemed a little incoherent.

Seeing that He Zhan was shedding tears, Emperor Jing Zhao couldn't help smiling, looked at him like a child, and said, "Pei Zhi, do you remember that when you were young, you used to run to the palace, and you could talk back then, see When I practice swords, I am more excited than those two boys, and I keep saying that I will be recognized as a foster father and that I will teach you."

Hearing this, He Zhan laughed out of tears, and said with embarrassment, "I remember."

"You can be regarded as their big brother, and you must take good care of them for me in the future."

Emperor Jing Zhao wanted He Zhan's loyalty.

He Zhan kowtowed three times: "The minister took the decree to thank you."

He Zhan stepped back, and Emperor Jing Zhao's personal eunuch brought a bowl of crispy cheese, met He Zhan face to face, bowed to one side and saluted, "Respectfully send the grand master off."

When the door of the palace was closed, the eunuch brought the bowl to Emperor Jing Zhao: "Your Majesty, would you like to try the new pastry made by the palace chef?"

Emperor Jing Zhao didn't have much appetite, so he said: "Please send it to Jingren Palace, so that the queen can taste it first. There are still a few notebooks that I haven't read, so you study ink for me."

"Hey." The eunuch responded, and the other people sent it to Jingren Palace, and came back to grind ink for Emperor Jing Zhao, and asked, "Is the emperor still bothering about the grand master?"

"I asked someone to check He Aiqing's details. He has all the money in Yongzhou in his pocket, so he is a useful talent." Emperor Jing Zhao took a sip of tea, "He looks smart, but he still has the stupidity of an old loyal Duke. People, stay under my nose, so I can rest assured."

The eunuch nodded and said with a smile: "The emperor is wise."

Be suspicious of people, and use people if you are suspicious.
