Emperor's Trophy

It is not difficult to inquire, Gao Xin came back soon: "Master Hou is in Dali Temple in the morning for routine business, but at noon, when he came out, he was called away by the king of Hejian County, and went to the private room of Yuanchun Pavilion nearby. I didn’t let anyone go in to wait on the lunch, about half an hour later Hou Ye came out, his face was not very good, he looked like he had cried, and then he went back to the palace.”

Ji Bingyuan tapped her fingers, thinking that Jun Yubai's simple words today made Yun Zhen feel as if she had let go of some burden.

According to Zhu Jiang's confession, after he disappeared on the battlefield and could not be found, the cabinet and the military affairs department helped the crown prince Ji Huaiqing to ascend the throne-after that, he entered Buddhism asceticism, so he didn't care about world affairs, and only heard about new things from his mother who came to see him. The emperor was abolished, and the entire clan of Duke Dingguo was exiled. There is no doubt that the person who abolished the new emperor and questioned Duke Dingguo's mansion should be himself.

But this should be the first life, and the second life. Ji Xianger should have given up on Zhu Jiang and supported Ji Huaisu, so Ji Huaisu should be the crown prince in the second life. Ji Huaisu killed Ji Xianger, and he should come back like the first life .

From the few words she heard that day, Ji Xiang'er didn't know what happened next, she only guessed that she might have come back, and vented her anger for him.

In these two lives, there is something unclear. If I am alive, why do I sit and watch the crown prince ascend the throne?

If you don't act properly, the situation will get out of control. Then, there is only one possibility, that is, when you disappear, you can't manage the affairs - is it imprisoned?Impossible, if anyone can capture him, he should be executed immediately to avoid future troubles.

Then there is only one possibility, which is to be seriously ill and to be isolated from the world.

Therefore, when I returned to Beijing, I was afraid that I hadn't fully recovered, so Jun Yubai was probably the one who accompanied me for treatment and returned to Beijing.

This makes sense, Ji Huaisu probably said something in front of Ji Xianger, making Ji Xianger think that he has an affair with Jun Yubai, and Jun Yubai is the key person in the treatment of his serious illness.If you think about it carefully, you can see that he threw out Jun Yubai's matter, he should use it as a threat, and wants him to return to Ji Huaisu's side.

Naturally, Ji Xiang'er could not agree, and I have repeatedly said several times in the past few days that I would not allow it.

The knot should be here, he is afraid, he is reluctant to part with me, but he is also afraid that there will be no one to treat me, and that if something happens on the battlefield in the future, I will not be able to survive, so such a heavy burden will crush him all at once, and he can't tell himself , With such a big secret buried in my heart, I was struggling alone and was overwhelmed by guilt and guilt.

Ji Bingyuan let out a long sigh of relief, Jun Yubai was keen, found something wrong, and solved it in time, it was really a fluke.

Ji Huaisu... how to deal with him?

Ji Bingyuan lowered her eyes, it was easy to deal with him, it was too easy for a person like him who was at the peak of power all the year round to raise his ambition and lead him to make mistakes.

But the mouse is also afraid of hurting Yu Ping'er, and Ji Xiang'er is so afraid that she knows, so she can only pretend that she doesn't know.As for the unknown future, obviously Ji Huaisu didn't know much about it, so it was useless and just made Ji Xianger worry.

Ji Huaisu is still useful in the chess game he is currently laying out. He can't make a big disturbance, so Ji Xianger is too innocent to be bluffed by him.

However, it was right to give Yun Zhen such a sigh of relief by hitting him a little bit.

Jun Yubai's most critical knot was solved by mistake - the remaining serious trouble is still Bei Qi.

He thought for a while, first wrote a secret order, summoned Gao Xin, and immediately sent a letter to Ding Dai, ordering Ji Huaisu to be recruited.

Ji Huaisu thought that Ji Bingyuan wanted to ask him about the progress of his choice of heir, so he made up his mind and came in and bowed down to pay respects.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't shout when he went on to pay homage. He could only kneel down and dare not move. After a long while, his back was covered with cold sweat, and his knees ached. Like him, he asked him: "Marquis Zhaoxin had lunch with you yesterday, and he fell ill when he came back. The imperial doctor said it was because of a fit of rage."

Ji Huaisu broke out in a cold sweat.

Ji Bingyuan asked slowly: "Marquis Zhaoxin has always been innocent and never gets angry with others easily. I want to know what exactly did you tell him to teach him to get angry and have a high fever?"

Ji Huaisu kowtowed her head: "I...have offended Marquis Zhao Xin by speaking carelessly. This is my disrespect. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Ji Bingyuan repeated: "Speaking carelessly."

Ji Huaisu quickly calculated in his heart, Yun Zhen would never dare to say anything in front of the emperor, he could only say: "I have admired Zhao Xinhou for a long time, and I wanted to invite him to dinner yesterday, but Xi Zhongchen's frivolous words angered the Marquis."

Ji Bingyuan said: "On the day of Marquis Xining's dinner party, Marquis Zhaoxin was drunk, so I went to pick Marquis Zhaoxin, you recognized him, right?"

Ji Huaisu's scalp was almost numb, and he kowtowed, not daring to speak anymore.

Ji Bingyuan said indifferently: "I'm lucky to be Marquis Zhaoxin, are you jealous?"

Ji Huaisu didn't expect that Ji Bingyuan would directly expose the fact that he favored Yunzhen in front of him. The two fought and kowtowed: "The emperor forgives the crime, but the minister is jealous, and his disrespectful words offended Zhao Xinhou."

Ji Bingyuan walked down, walked slowly in front of Ji Huaisu, stopped in front of him, looked at the drenched vest behind him: "You know he belongs to me, how dare you think about it?"

The heavy pressure came down again, and fear seized his heart. After many years, Ji Huaisu once again recalled the fear of his previous life. He fell on the ground, not even daring to lift his head. In front of his forehead, he didn't move for a long time, as if he could draw his sword and chop off his head at any time.

Ji Huaisu trembled: "I dare not."

Ji Bingyuan said indifferently: "Zhaoxin Hou Yunzhen is my male queen. I didn't tell the world because he is so comfortable and quiet, and I don't want to put him on the cusp of the storm and be discussed by ordinary people and idlers. But he has already entered The golden book of the clan will be recorded in his name when choosing an heir in the future."

Ji Huaisu trembled all over, Ji Bingyuan said slowly: "Words offend, disrespect the queen, what should be the crime?"

Ji Huaisu said: "I'm terrified, I plead guilty, and I beg the emperor to forgive me for the crime I didn't know."

Ji Bingyuan said: "I called you here today to teach you that if you work hard and are loyal, I can still tolerate you. If you dare to think about the Queen again and disrespect the Queen, I will never forgive you lightly."

Ji Bingyuan said: "I want to punish you, you will not accept it."

Ji Huaisu kowtowed her head, almost trembling all over her body: "I accept the crime, and I thank the emperor for his grace."

On the second day, the sky was twilight. It was a sunny day, but it was still cold after the heavy snow.

This day is a small court meeting, and many civil and military officials of the court are waiting for the emperor to summon him to listen to the government, but they saw two guards from the Longxiang camp escorting a man out of the hall, kneeling under the jade steps, stripping off his outer robe, and a purple robe The servant came out, holding a ruler in his hand, and someone recognized that it was Chief Mo Ju, who replaced Ding Dai, who had been released from the imperial court.

Mo Ju stood in front of the man, and said in a clear voice: "The Prince of Hejian, offended the Marquis Zhaoxin with his words, and behaved violently, without restraint. The Holy Master ordered him to slap his mouth ten times. He will be punished by kneeling in front of the hall for an hour before returning to the mansion. After a month of contemplation behind closed doors, he will be punished." One year salary, if there is a next time, I will never forgive you lightly!"

All the courtiers looked in horror, and sure enough, they saw two guards stepping up to hold the man's arms and holding his back, each raised his head with one hand, revealing his face, his face was handsome, his eyes were closed, he was not the Prince of Hejian which one!

I saw Mo Ju stepping forward with a ruler in her hand, clapping!After a few strokes of the ruler, several red and swollen ridges suddenly appeared on the fair face of Prince Hejian. Her cheeks were swollen, blue and purple, and her lips were torn, which was horrible.

But Mo Ju crossed the ruler across her hands and said with both hands, "Thank you, King Hejian."

Ji Huaisu knelt down, kowtowed to thank him, then stretched out his hands, took the ruler, raised it high, and knelt in front of the hall, motionless, his outer robe had been stripped off, only his cotton-padded clothes were on his body. Trembling, the hand holding the ruler was also frozen blue-gray.

The courtiers who came in and out saw his face red and swollen, kneeling with a ruler in hand, and knew that he had been punished by the emperor. They were all terrified and dared not speak. They walked past him quietly and entered the hall.

The king of Hejian county offended Zhaoxinhou with his words, and was punished by the sage in public. He still used the humiliating method of slapping his mouth in front of the officials and punishing him by kneeling at the gate. The news spread quickly. Knowing this terrifying news.

Although the Holy Majesty is serious and profound, and he is arbitrary, in fact, when punishing the officials of the court, he seldom uses humiliating methods such as court sticks, palms, and kneeling, and even reprimands in person. Demotion, sent to the court for crimes and other means, the scale is like the sea, deep and magnanimous, just the king's bearing.

However, it is really the first time since His Majesty succeeded to the throne that he actually punished the county king for the sake of Zhao Xinhou, and it is still such a humiliating method.

The one who punished was the son of the clan, so it was regarded as the emperor's family matter, so it was difficult for others to say anything, otherwise, who would be able to bear the responsibility of losing the reputation of being friends with the clan?Besides, Marquis Zhaoxin still has the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. If the King of Hejian County really offended the court ministers with his words, and the emperor punished and punished the court ministers for this, it would be in the hands of the court officials. There is such a precedent. Treat courtiers with more respect, and dare not use their status to bully others.

The clan members were supposed to be their idle clans. The emperor was always wise, and he would never punish them for no reason. It must be the Hejian County King who made a mistake first.

Therefore, all the officials of the imperial court were silent on this matter, and even the censors, who always had to write a few papers when they had nothing to do, also kept silent strangely.

Ji Huaisu was punished, and Ji Bingyuan's anger finally came out. After discussing the policy, he went back to the dormitory and saw Jun Yubai talking with Yun Zhen. Many, leaning on the bed, giggling and laughing non-stop.

He smiled slightly, went in and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Jun Yubai said: "I told Lord Yun that you had all kinds of cleanliness and eccentricities back then, but Lord Hou just didn't believe it."

Ji Bingyuan said: "What eccentricity?"

Jun Yubai suppressed a smile: "For example, if you eat fish, if someone else turns it over in advance, you will definitely not eat it."

It was only then that Ji Bingyuan knew the reason for Yunzhen's narrowness that day, and said with a smile: "Other people will definitely not eat if they touch me, but Ji Xianger is one of my own family members, who have been married to me for a hundred years and have the same heart, so it is naturally different. "

Seeing that he did not hide their relationship in front of Jun Yubai, Yun Zhen blushed and didn't know what to say, but his heart was filled with secret joy.

Jun Yubai sighed: "What did I do wrong, I came here to listen to you flirting here, that's all, I'm going out first, I don't care what you do in private, but - temperate sex, don't forget."

Yun Zhen's face flushed so red that it was almost bleeding, Jun Yubai got up leisurely and drifted away.
