My country, you can pinch it

The emperor had nightmares for several nights, and the sound of brother-in-law surrounded him like a curse. The face of a person who had passed away for more than ten years should have been blurred, but it became clearer every time in the dream, which made him have a splitting headache, and even Afraid of going to bed, even Zhu Yuanfeng, who was found by that person, was unwilling to see more.

When everyone in the palace thought that Eunuch Yuan was about to fall out of favor, something was finally found in the censer that was sent to the imperial hospital. Immediately, the blood in the harem passed, and turmoil once again began.

The ghost-like Punishment Department hunted down the palace people everywhere, and the Dacheng Palace was even cleaned up. Even the House of Internal Affairs, anyone who had the opportunity to touch the spices did not escape.

Of course, there are obstacles around the emperor, and the imperial concubine who is in charge of everything in the harem bears the brunt of it.

Under the Punishment Department, the problematic ones were not the eunuchs in Dacheng Palace, but the places where incense was bought and offered. They had committed suicide one by one, and could no longer utter any words.

The imperial concubine knelt on the cold floor tiles, a cup of tea shattered at her feet, and the splashed sharp tiles cut open her skirt, leaving bloodstains on her calves.The pampered concubine, who looked like a young girl in her teens, showed pain in her eyebrows, but she didn't dare to groan, she just lay her body on the broken porcelain floor, waiting for the thunder's wrath to pass.

Emperor Shun, who vented his anger, flushed, stared at the imperial concubine with sharp eyes, and asked coldly: "Do you remember what you said at the beginning?"

What do you say?

——The emperor does not need to worry, everything is handed over to his concubines, and the matter will be turned into dust, and no one will know.

As a reward, the ordinary beauty became a concubine because of her contribution in raising a child, and because she appeased the rest of the Wang family, she bestowed a noble concubine on the place of the original daughter of the eldest wife of the Wang family. Peaceful.

"Isn't nobody aware of it?" There must be others involved in the harem for what a resigned old man can do.

Emperor Shun's face was expressionless, but his eyes were cold and piercing. In his eyes, the woman kneeling below seemed to have no affection at all. His usual love was like a phantom of fireworks, and disappeared with a little ripple.

The imperial concubine gritted her teeth, and finally raised her head slowly, "Your majesty, I can assure you that all the old people were wiped out at that time, and no one would slip through the net, but... Uncle is still alive."

Emperor Shun walked over step by step, squatting down slowly, "You said he moved his hands and feet under your nose?"

The voice was very soft, and the emperor didn't get angry when he saw it, but the more it was like this, the more dangerous it was. The imperial concubine felt like an invisible knife was hanging above her head. Fall to death.

She is in charge of the harem, but people take advantage of it, what is it if it is not her incompetence?

"Emperor, Your Majesty..." She couldn't help curling her fingers, as if she wanted to grab the corner of the bright yellow clothes in front of her, "Your Majesty, there is also King Ning!"

Emperor Shun suddenly seemed to be stepped on the sore spot, and shouted angrily, "Presumptuous!"

However, the imperial concubine looked up at him, "Your majesty! The concubine has been working hard since taking over the harem, and dare not betray the trust of the emperor. This matter is important, and she must have kept it a secret. Liu Ke knew it, and the uncle must have told him Now, it's really easy for an unopened prince to play tricks in the harem!"

is it?

It's not that Emperor Shun hadn't thought about this possibility, but... he was shaken again when he thought of the hysterical confrontation between father and son before Liu Ke left Beijing.

Emperor Shun was conceited and suspicious, never willing to trust others, he had to go around seven or eight detours to guess other people's motives.

If Liu Ke really knew everything, why would he avoid leaving the capital? Shouldn't he please him and wait for an opportunity to take revenge?This child has a perverted and rebellious personality, he contradicts ten sentences with one sentence, and even refuses to come back after going to Yongliang, like an angry child, forcing him to vindicate his mother, all this reflects Emperor Shun's views on Liu Ke.

I know, but I don't understand it, all the hatred is directed at the imperial concubine and King Jing...there is also a hatred directed at him, resenting his inaction and causing his mother to be wronged for nothing.

Emperor Shun's eyes returned to the imperial concubine once again, and his uncertain face was shocking.

"The censer is not hidden, it was done deliberately."

It took only two days for the Department of Punishment to go to war, and the truth came to light. The people involved in the incident committed suicide one after another, and there was no follow-up, as if to remind the emperor of this old thing.

But why at this time?Once Liu Ke went to Yongliang for two years, if it wasn't for the unavoidable gift-giving at the New Year's Day, he would never pay attention to Lao Tzu.However, when the emperor moved his mind to announce his return to Beijing, this kind of thing happened in the palace, like a sharp thorn in the emperor's heart?Regardless of whether Liu Ke participated in it or not, Emperor Shun still wanted to never see this son again.

Whose purpose is this?

Liu Ke?

Thinking of this, Emperor Shun suddenly asked: "Tell me, is Taifu really still alive?"

This sound made the imperial concubine's pupils shrink when she heard it, "Your majesty!"

"For so many years, I have been looking for him everywhere, but he disappeared as if he was not in this world."

At the beginning, in order to seek stability, Emperor Shun had issued an imperial decree not to pursue it. He was magnanimous to the Wang family, so naturally he could not do anything to Wang Taifu.

However, this is a hidden danger after all. If his son loses his daughter and suffers humiliation, he is also afraid that Taifu Wang will expose this matter regardless and cause chaos in the world.Emperor Shun didn't know how many people were dispatched secretly to remove this hidden danger, but he couldn't find anyone from the beginning to the end.

Liu Ke grew up in the Luoying Hall, if Wang Taifu really came into contact with him, both Emperor Shun and the imperial concubine would be aware of it.

"He must still be there, Your Majesty, father has not yet fully grasped the Wang family." The imperial concubine said.

Emperor Shun nodded when he heard the words, "That's right, otherwise there would be no need to go to great lengths to marry Wang's daughter to Ke'er."

Some things, if the emperor doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean he doesn't know, and once it is revealed, it means that some trust has collapsed here.

The imperial concubine was startled, she understood something in a trance, and exclaimed in horror: "Your majesty, do you think it was the concubine's doing?"

Emperor Shun smiled coolly, which meant that it might not be possible.

The crown prince has yet to be established. I thought it was either King Duan or King Jing. Judging from the fact that King Duan used the New Deal as a tool to collect money, he would be ruined sooner or later.

It is enough for the imperial concubine, mother and son to quietly watch Duan Wang and Yang Shenxing turn against each other.

However, if King Ning is added, can the imperial concubine still sit still?No matter what the emperor thinks about this son, the solution once and for all is to make Emperor Shun hate him, and the past events are the best excuse.

He just smelt some horror and nightmare incense, but didn't do anything else. It really had to make the emperor think so.

This is even more wronged than Dou E. The imperial concubine immediately hugged Emperor Shun's feet regardless of her posture, and shed tears, "Your Majesty, my concubines have known their identities all these years, and they have been careful to manage the harem for the emperor. If you exceed the rules, how dare you have any unreasonable thoughts, let alone touch the emperor's might and power? The concubine was wronged, let the concubine investigate this matter again, she will definitely be able to find out who is behind the scenes, and give the concubine a clean slate!"

The imperial concubine cried very sadly, but she said too many mistakes at the moment, and the sentence of "Longwei Nilin" instantly ignited the last bit of mercy of Emperor Shun.

Yes, if he is not an insider, how can he take advantage of this to know where his dead spot is?

Emperor Shun gently bent down, gently lifted up the imperial concubine who was crying like pear blossoms and rain, gently brushed her cheeks, and wiped away her tears.He only heard a soft sigh, as if he had been touched by his hard-hearted heart, he said in relief: "Forget it, since the imperial concubine wants to investigate, then let's investigate. I have been married for many years, and I still believe you."

The imperial concubine's eyes were full of water, and her eyelashes were full of tears. Even if she was crying, she looked beautiful, but in this almost tender tone, her whole body trembled with horror, and her heart sank coldly.

She knew very well that the emperor did not believe her.

But what else can she do?

The only plan for now is to find out the person who framed her secretly!

"Thank you, Your Majesty." She gritted her teeth angrily, and bowed gracefully.

"Go."

She walked out of Dacheng Palace, the sun was just right outside, but the sun that fell on her body was not warm but colder.

The manipulator has already hanged himself, and the source has been snuffed out, how else can he find it?

Only let it go.

Emperor Shun's call this time, although he didn't call back the people he wanted to see, caused a slight turmoil in the court situation in the capital.

Liu Ke didn't return to Beijing, but King Duan seemed to be intimidated by Emperor Shun's third choice, and he acquiesced in Yang Shenxing's cleansing of the Third Department of Regulations from beginning to end.

Although Gao Xueli presided over the New Deal in Yunzhou, Yang Shenxing kept his promise to Shang Jinling and Yushan Layman, and gave him the position of second in command of the Third Department of Regulations. Although he had no real power, he was not unknown anyway, and It became a thorn in Duan Wang's heart - this person belonged to Liu Ke.

The acquiescence is the acquiescence, but when Yang Shenxing cleared out all the people without breaking the bank, Duan Wang was still very angry, coupled with the instigation of others, it didn't take long for Yang Shenxing to completely part ways and confront each other in the court.

Although Yang Shenxing's current status is inseparable from his own ability, he will be disgraced after all. His moral defilement seems to be innocent, but he has lost far more than he imagined.Without the support of Duan Wang, it can be said that it is difficult to move forward, and there is no friend in the court.

The villain dislikes his gentleman, and the gentleman disdains his hypocrisy, and King Jing is watching the jokes. If the emperor didn't need a new deal, he might have fallen to the ground long ago.

The dignified Chief Assistant was visibly haggard, and the New Deal was like a glimmer of light in the cold wind that he was protecting, flickering, always feeling that it should be extinguished at any time.

Two years later, after urging several secret letters to test Yongliang to no avail, the emperor finally sent an envoy for the second time with great fanfare to let King Ning return to Beijing.

And this envoy fell into Zhu Yuan's limelight again.

At this moment, Eunuch Yuan is already the most powerful eunuch beside the emperor. Even if Qin Hai is not angry, he has to salute respectfully and call the eunuch, and his trip this time represents the greatest sincerity of Emperor Shun and favor.Along the way, there were no longer just thirty or fifty bodyguards protecting him, but five hundred imperial guards profusely expressed that they must welcome King Ning back to the capital.

Yongliang must have known about such a big movement. If King Ning was interested, he should have greeted him at the gate of the city.

However, based on Zhu Yuanfeng's understanding of His Highness, not to mention welcoming him at the city gate, even being able to smile without smiling is already a great way to save face, so he did not expect such a welcoming treatment.

Oh, by the way, it happened more than two years ago, but it was thanks to Shang Jinling's blessing. I don't know if he can still see this friend this time.

Ever since Zhu Yuanfeng returned to Beijing, the connection between him and Shang Jinling had been cut off naturally. It was inconvenient to be an eunuch in the palace.

However, when they arrived at the bottom of the city, Xiao Qi pointed at him quickly and said, "Eunuch, is that His Royal Highness King Ning?"

Zhu Yuanfeng looked over and saw Liu Ke lingering in front of the city gate, he was very surprised, thinking that His Highness has changed?Is it true that you are waiting to return to Beijing?

But every time the emperor sent a messenger, what he brought back was simply the word "Not Return", with a clear attitude, and he didn't bother to perfunctory.

He raised his hand, and the whole team stopped. No matter how favored they were, they were facing the prince. Since the other party greeted him sincerely, Zhu Yuanfeng naturally had to treat each other with courtesy.

He got out of the carriage and walked towards Liu Ke with Xiao Qi and several school guards, "The miscellaneous family has met His Royal Highness King Ning."

Liu Ke is surrounded by officials big and small from Yongliang City, even Huang Zhizhou who doesn't care about things is there, which can be described as grand.Seeing him, Liu Ke nodded and greeted him in a business-like manner, "Elder-in-law has worked hard all the way."

"This is the job of the miscellaneous family. I didn't bother to talk about it, but I was welcomed by His Royal Highness. The miscellaneous family is really flattered." This was Zhu Yuanfeng's voice from the bottom of his heart. His eyes subconsciously glanced behind Liu Ke, but he couldn't find that Shu Lang's figure.

"Don't look, he's not in Yongliang." Liu Ke looked through the team of 500 people, frowned, and felt that it was obstructing his sight, so he said, "Since you are here, please go to the city to rest first, the imperial decree will be released tomorrow." Read again, before it's too late."

"Your Highness is right." After Zhu Yuanfeng finished speaking, he looked at Liu Ke and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please."

Then Liu Ke didn't move, but turned to tell Zhao Bufan, "You settle down for Mr. Zhu, I have to wait for someone else."

Liu Ke always said that in Yongliang, Zhao Bufan responded again and again, and then made a request to Zhu Yuanfeng, "Mr. Zhu, the hotel has already arranged a compromise, and you are tired all the way. Please follow the official to rest."

Zhu Yuanfeng knew Liu Ke's dog temper, and even Emperor Shun comforted him before he left, "Yuan Er, if Lao Qi has any inappropriate words, please forgive me and bring him back." So, he has nothing He disagreed, but the deputy commander, the leader of the five hundred forbidden troops who followed him, was dissatisfied.

Who is more face-saving than the envoy from the capital?

Could it be that King Ning puts on airs so much that even the Holy Majesty doesn't pay attention to it?Just as he was about to speak, Liu Ke's eyes lit up.

"Eunuch, this..."

Zhu Yuanfeng turned his head, and at some point a carriage arrived at the gate of the city. On the two horses on the left and right, sat a pair of girls who had the same appearance and were equally dashingly dressed.

Zhu Yuanfeng instantly guessed who was coming, "The Shang family, is it Jinling?"

"Of course it's my family, Lingling. Don't you really think that the king is waiting for you at the gate of the city?" Liu Ke had bypassed them and walked directly to the carriage.

Zhu Yuanfeng laughed and shook his head, thinking that it was true.

"Eunuch Zhu!" The vice-commander of the Imperial Army was rather displeased, but Zhu Yuanfeng said, "In that case, I will go into the city and see Your Highness tomorrow, Mr. Zhao, I am sorry."

Zhao Bufan cupped his hands, "Please, Mr. Zhu."
