The most unlucky crossing in history

If it is said that Xie Wenyuan took the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice in exchange for breaking Wei Hechao's southwest arm, it is understandable that Wei Hechao wanted to kill him, because he blocked Wei Hechao's way.

When Wei He was in charge of Chao Shuchuan's power, it involved the forgery of the secret order of the Criminal Ministry's prison ten years ago by the Minister of Criminal Affairs, and it was found that Wu Kongzhi involved the third prince, who is now Shen Wangmu's concubine, the current concubine Yugui's natal family. Shen Wang Tan Yuance also suffered because of this.

Tan Yuance originally planned to find an opportunity to infiltrate forces in the southwest after Xie Wenyuan took Wei He Chaoshuchuan's arm, and to show his favor to Prime Minister Wei, but who would have thought that Xie Wenyuan would take this opportunity to find out the forged secret order ten years ago, Let him, Tan Yuance, be overwhelmed with self-care, how would he dare to place subordinates in Shu Prefecture?

He was not the head of the concubine at all, and the family members of his mother and concubine who he could rely on now were investigated, his power was weakened, and he was one step away from the throne.

One step, one step.

Tan Yuance hated Xie Wenyuan very much, and he was also very tired of Emperor Feng Zheng disregarding the friendship between father and son, just sitting and watching Xie Wenyuan cut off his "hands and feet".

But, no matter what, if he still has reason, he should be like Wei Hechao and not kill Xie Wenyuan at this moment. After all, Tan Yuance is still too young.

There is some strategy in my heart, but it is still a little bit worse.

The struggle for imperial power is not an easy task, it is almost the difference between heaven and earth, a contest between life and death.

Looking at the information handed over by his subordinates, Tan Yuance sneered, Helping the country?What Fu Ning country, although he slowly infiltrated power in the southeast according to his uncle's arrangement early on, but it has nothing to do with the Lao Shizi Fu Ning country.

Hangzhou City only started working three years ago.

But it was the usual arrangement, he was sure that even if Xie Wenyuan found the ship, he would not find anything unusual, but why did there suddenly appear more Funing people this time?

Tan Yuance smiled.

At this time, he still couldn't see that he was being calculated by others, so he lived for more than [-] years in vain.

"Where is Zhuo Wanzhou?"

The subordinate knelt down and lowered his eyes: "I don't know where to go."

Tan Yuance paused when he heard the words, and then laughed again, but there was endless hatred and sorrow in that smile.

Three years ago, Zhuo Wanzhou took Zhuo Hangran's staff and the "truth" of 18 years ago to join him.

Zhengchou, who didn't have a sharp blade in his hand, was naturally ecstatic, and then became Zhuo Wanzhou's protector.And promised to cleanse the Zhuo family, and let Zhuo Wanzhou kill the enemy with his own hands.

Three years, exactly three years, since then Zhuo Wanzhou

If he really tried his best to do things for him, it also gave him a cover for his actions in Hangzhou.

Zhuo Wanzhou didn't often mention things about the Zhuo family, but this year, after completing something for him, she mentioned the Zhuo family time and time again.Coincidentally, Xie Wenyuan's investigation of the case caused him to lose power... and his mind became active.

He wanted to rely on Zhuo Wanzhou, and took this opportunity to let Xie Wenyuan investigate the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Minister of Dali Temple who tried the case back then. Xie Wenyuan investigated, and his father would never allow it. If he didn't investigate, then he would Yes, that is the loss of the duty of Minister of the Ministry of punishment.Xie Wenyuan couldn't get rid of the three murder cases involving the imperial court officials, and he would definitely be sent to Hangzhou.

Whether it is life or death at that time, isn't he the one who has the final say?

Even if Xie Wenyuan survived the fire, it doesn't matter, he just gave Xie Wenyuan a living proof like Zhuo Feng.

Xie Wenyuan did not dare to interrogate Feng Zhengdi's indiscriminate killing.

But......

Thinking of the day when his subordinates reported that Zhuo Feng had been robbed, he thought of Xie Wenyuan investigating the ship he was secretly working on, and even finding out the Funing people and his "letters".

Tan Yuance almost gritted his teeth.

About the boat, only Zhuo Wanzhou can handle it, and almost all of it is handled by him.Only Zhuo Wanzhou had those letters that didn't name them. Even Zhuo Feng was kept in the dark and only listened to his "baby brother".

Therefore, Tan Yuance knew that Zhuo Wanzhou would only send those helpers up.

How Zhuo Feng escaped, he didn't know for the time being, because he knew that even if Xie Wenyuan deliberately let Zhuo Feng leave, Zhuo Feng, who was obedient to Zhuo Wanzhou, would not leave.

But he knew very well that Zhuo Wanzhou had betrayed him.

What's more, Tan Yuance's fist trembled slightly, even, this person was a spy who was planted beside him from the very beginning.

Now he understands, but it's too late, Tan Yuance thought, he was completely defeated.

"My lord, there are people coming from the palace..." Outside the door, the father-in-law who had been with him for many years trembled.

Tan Yuance stroked the hem of his clothes, took a long breath, then strode to the door and opened it. He looked at the guards in front of him, feeling extremely unwilling, and said after a long time, "Let's go."

Xie Wenyuan, who had been rushing back to Jingzhao all night after receiving the secret decree to conquer the emperor, arrived at Jingzhao City on the last day of the first lunar month.

In Prince Shen's Mansion, which has been heavily surrounded and heavily guarded by soldiers, Tan Yuance, who has been under house arrest, looked at Xie Wenyuan who stepped into the main hall, and said slowly: "If he entrusts the king to you, that means he will be investigated and dealt with according to the law." ?” This him, of course, refers to Emperor Feng Zheng.

Xie Wenyuan was noncommittal, and looked around the room.

In the tightly sealed main hall, he slowly bowed to Tan Yuance and said, "King Shen."

"Oh," Tan Yuance sneered, "Why do you have to be hypocritical again? When I see you now, I wish I could put in more effort to finish you off!"

Xie Wenyuan said: "Oh? Then I should thank Your Highness for not killing me?"

Tan Yuance snorted coldly: "Although I am still in this palace now, how is this palace different from your prison in the Ministry of Criminal Justice? How is this king different from your prisoner?"

Hearing this, Xie Wenyuan frowned slightly, then returned to normal, retreated the surrounding guards, waited until there were only two of him in the main hall, and then said: "In the eyes of the lower officials, there is a huge difference. I came here On the way, I heard a subordinate mention that King Shen is not used to this kind of house arrest and cannot live a life like this... Does King Shen know what the real punishment prison should look like?"

Tan Yuance frowned, and replied: "If you want to interrogate, you can interrogate, what's wrong with that!"

Xie Wenyuan ignored his words, and continued to say: "It seems that I don't know, so the lower official told you that the real prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is only about one-sixth of the main hall, and it can only accommodate [-]/[-] of the main hall. The next straw mat, a strip of cloth, and a squatting bucket."

Seeing Tan Yuance glaring at him, Xie Wenyuan said again: "I have two meals a day in the middle, and the meals are all ice."

"Are you trying to say that my situation is the best?"

"Naturally." Xie Wenyuan looked directly at the furious person in front of him, "Now that King Shen is guilty of a serious crime, besides being unable to get out of this world, he is still well-clothed and well-fed. Even in this house, there is still a fire. Dilong, in my opinion, it really shouldn’t be. According to the law of the Great Emperor, the emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. Now you and I should meet at the Ministry of Punishments instead of you at the Prince Shen’s Mansion, and what’s more,” Xie Wenyuan paused, “You now You shouldn't be sitting and talking to me."

"Xie Wenyuan! This king killed you!" Tan Yuance was so angry that he stood up and waved away.

But the next moment, Xie Wenyuan stopped him and threw him back with his strength. Tan Yuance didn't check for a moment and fell to the ground.

When he looked up again, Xie Wenyuan stood in front of him, looking down on him with a pair of dark eyes without any emotion.

Tan Yuance's heart trembled.

"The Prison of the Ministry of Justice can be regarded as the cleanest place in the dungeons of the Daqing Dynasty. Do you know what kind of territory the death row prisoners are kept in other prisons? Four or five death row prisoners are held in a dungeon that is no more than an inch. In this world, the stench is so high, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are everywhere, have you ever lived in such a prison? Have you ever been beaten by the jailer every day?"

Speaking of here

, Xie Wenyuan said coldly: "There are people who can endure the unbearable of ordinary people in order to survive, and endure the unbearable of ordinary people, only thinking about the slightest chance of survival. Your Highness Shen Wang, you can't even bear such a stimulus. If you can't get through life like this, what are you fighting with others? Is it the self-esteem you can't let go, or the body that can't stand the suffering?"

Tan Yuance was taken aback, but couldn't speak.

How could he fail to understand what Xie Wenyuan said?He couldn't bear the pain, couldn't bear the shock of the earth, but he still wanted to seize the supreme power in the world, and it was inevitable to fall into such a situation.

The room was quiet for a long time, and it took Tan Yuance a long time to smile wryly, and said: "What's the use of saying these things now? Aren't you here to interrogate me? Why bother to tell me these things? It's only my fault that I trust others too much. You want to interrogate me?" Let's have a trial."

Xie Wenyuan glanced at the slumped young man in front of him, then called his attendants and bookkeeper to enter the room.

The interrogation lasted only an hour, and the bookkeeper recorded all the questions and answers, and Xie Wenyuan read it carefully.

All of Tan Yuance's letters were later found in Zhiyi Pavilion. It was inevitable for him to place subordinates in the local area in an attempt to conspire against him. He could only plead guilty, but he did not plead guilty to colluding with the Funing people and treason.

"If there is nothing, it is nothing. I should admit what I have done, but if I have not done it, even if it kills me now, I will not admit it."

Xie Wenyuan didn't look at him, but said: "Here is the letter, whether you recognize it or not, you may or may not be sure, you just say that there is no proof, just wait for those people in the Yige Pavilion to find out."

"How can those people be trusted! They are the ones who put me in prison! That means Zhuo Wanzhou, the remnant of the Zhuo family! How can I be trusted,"

"I also hope that King Shen said carefully, if that means the remnants of the Zhuo family, then you are in collusion with the remnants of the Zhuo family, I'm afraid..."

Tan Yuance suddenly understood that he couldn't talk about this matter at all.

Seeing this, Xie Wenyuan didn't want to say anything more, called Boji and turned to leave.

"Xie Wenyuan, if I say that I have never colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, would you believe it?"

Xie Wenyuan didn't answer when he heard the sound, but only said: "I remember that the third prince dances well with swordsmanship."

Tan Yuance was taken aback, as if he remembered that when he was a prince, he was indeed the most skilled in martial arts among the princes, and the teacher who taught him at that time was an old general, he liked him the most, and often praised him to Emperor Feng Zheng.

However, Emperor Feng Zheng could only smile at most, after all, it was the emperor brothers who wrote good articles who gave the rewards.

Tan Yuance shook his head and looked at Xie Wenyuan with a smile, "So what? What's the use if Father doesn't like it? Don't you know it best?"

Before closing the door, Xie Wenyuan finally

After all, he still said: "I thought you would be a prince who guards the city and the border."

The door was locked, and Tan Yuance stayed where he was.

Fifteen years ago, Zhao Ming, the Northwest General, was old and wanted to return to his hometown. Emperor Feng Zheng thought of his excellent martial arts skills in guarding the city for many years, so he asked him to be a martial arts teacher for some princes.

Xie Wenyuan was an accompanying reader, so he knew how much Zhao Ming loved Tan Yuance back then, because Tan Yuance said in class: "Daqing is the world of my Tan family, and even if it takes my life, no foreign country will be allowed to trample on it. "

Tan Yuance said that he had never colluded with the enemy. Xie Wenyuan believed this, but there were some things that Tan Yuance might have forgotten.

Xie Wenyuan roughly guessed who Zhuo Wanzhou was leaning on. Eighteen years ago, Wei Hechao was not yet powerful, so it was impossible for Zhuo Hangran to have any relationship with Wei Hechao.

Only the sixth younger brother of Emperor Fengzheng changed the color of Emperor Fengzheng's talk back then. King Xuan in the southeast of the fiefdom, but King Xuan died 16 years ago, and he didn't even leave a trace of blood. what's up...

Tan Yuance is indeed too credulous to others, and he is indeed not a person who is good at playing tricks.

Xie Wenyuan closed his eyes, went back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and locked up today's interrogation case file, and then returned to Shangshu Mansion by car.

He had heard about Linghu Qing about his return to Beijing earlier, and with a few jars of wine in hand, he smiled brightly at Xie Wenyuan.

Hanging out in the courtyard in the lotus pond of Shangshu's mansion, Linghu Qingjiu filled Xie Wenyuan with wine and said, "If we don't handle this case now, I'm afraid there will be more rewards, right?"

Xie Wenyuan pursed his lips, "Send the Son of the Holy Majesty to prison, do you think there is still a reward?"

"No, no, you have made meritorious service to the country, and you have also made meritorious service to the Holy One. I don't know what strange news you got from your interrogation today?"

Xie Wenyuan glanced at Linghu Qing, and said, "How do you know that I am going to interrogate King Shen today?" The fact that he went to interrogate was originally arranged by Emperor Feng Zheng, and he never mentioned it to anyone.

Linghu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "The emperor urgently summoned you to the capital. Today I haven't seen you for a long time at your house. What else can I do if I don't go to interrogation?" He said and looked at Xie Wenyuan with a teasing smile : "Could it be that I guessed wrong, Ying Shu misses Chang Yi, and just came back from Ru Rou Xiang?"

Xie Wenyuan smiled, but did not answer.

Then the two chatted for a while, and when the exposure got deeper and Linghu was overwhelmed with alcohol and drowsy, Xie Wenyuan called Linghuqing's entourage to escort him out of Shangshu's mansion.

However, before leaving the mansion, Xie Wenyuan asked Linghu Qing the first and only question today, "

Fearless, is the prince seriously ill? "

"Huh?" Linghu Qing, with reddish cheeks, couldn't even open her eyes, struggling to break free from her followers, looking for her reputation: "Yes, it's very serious, this matter, you can't talk about it, hiccup, and Ying Shu can't talk about it either. "

Xie Wenyuan smiled and looked at the 'drowsy' person in front of him, and seeing Linghu Qing babbling a lot of nonsense, he opened his mouth to tell Linghu Qing's followers: "Take care of your master, and be careful on the road. "

"Yes, thank you, sir."

When the people walked away, Xie Wenyuan suppressed the smile on his face, turned around and walked towards the study.

People, of course, no one can be trusted, and he never trusted anyone.

For some reason, Xie Wenyuan suddenly remembered the letter from his family outside the city gate of Hangzhou that he found from the baggage of a man named Yu Zhouhai.

A letter from home with his name written all over the page.

When Que Jiangcai looked over suspiciously, he squeezed it tightly into a ball of waste paper, preventing others from seeing the contents.

"That's a family letter from my boss to my relatives! I brought it back from Maojiang all the way... This, what should I do, how can I explain it to Brother Zhong!"
