[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

This matter was handled by Chang Yi and He Su, and Zhao Yang was not worried that it would spread to the market.After all, anyone who spreads it at this time is really suspected of treason.

It's just that Zhou Hou can't hide it.Troublesome things really came one after another, and the matter of He Zhouhou has not had any clue until now, and the ledger has been checked over and over again.Knowing that what he made was a fake account, but he couldn't find anything wrong.There is no news from Yingli's side, and she can't delay it for a few days from Hezhou Hou.

Yuan Ya can't move for the time being, if she uses He Ling to depose him at this juncture, it will have a sense of public revenge and personal revenge in it.She is now in a dilemma, unable to move an inch.

The more he thought about it, the more annoying he became, Zhaoyang threw the playbook aside and moved his sore shoulders.At this moment, Qinglu walked in with her head down, before Zhaoyang could say anything.Qinglu knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed several times in succession.

Zhao Yang is not surprised, Yuan Ya will know that she wants to oust him, someone must have tipped the news, and there must be someone who will stand up for this matter.

"Tell me yourself."

"Xiaguan has long admired Da Sikou." Just one sentence explained everything. "When Da Si Kou was still the crown prince, I served him by his side. It wasn't until he became Da Si Kou that the next official was transferred to the road bedroom."

Zhaoyang nodded: "So that's the case." After speaking, he called someone in, and asked someone to come to Qingshan.

Qinglu knelt like this until Qingshan came in through the door.

Seeing Qinglu kneeling there, Qingshan asked, "What's wrong? Did she do something wrong?"

"She revealed the matter of dismissing Da Sikou, and I left it to you to deal with it. Then help me find a competent person to come over." Zhaoyang said flatly.

After Qingshan waved for the accompanying people to take Qinglu down, she asked Zhaoyang, "What do you want to do with her?"

"She is also a poor woman. Now that she has become an abandoned child, there is no threat. She has gone to Xianji and sent her down."

Qingshan responded with an "en" and said, "Marquis Hezhou seems to have begged to see you several times."

Zhaoyang sighed: "Yeah, I've found reasons to shirk it, but it's not a solution to keep procrastinating."

Qingshan pondered for a moment, and then said: "The worst plan is to send the forbidden army to go with the state marquis."

"That's true, at least to avoid war between the two sides, but in this way, I will lose most of the people's hearts." Zhaoyang narrowed her eyes. If that time really comes, she will be in a more dangerous situation.

Dasko's Mansion

Zhu Zhang spat on the way back after coming out of Da Sikou's mansion, "What a coward. Why care about those reputations when such a good opportunity is in front of you."

But it was Zhaoyang who said so ironically in the court that he didn't even have the guts to rebel, for fear that others would say that he was pretending to be a murderer on the surface, but in fact he was planning a rebellion.What is there to care about these false names, the winner is the king, don't you understand this truth?

The more Zhu Zhang thinks about it, the more he looks down on Yuan Ya, he has no guts and no opinion.If his father hadn't been the former King Liu, this position would have been replaced long ago.

As he was walking, a group of people came towards him, and when Zhu Zhang saw clearly the appearance of the person standing in the middle, he stopped and saluted him respectfully: "House of Hezhou."

Mo Jing glanced at Zhu Zhang coldly, "Zhu Shuai, Xu is gone again, don't come here without any problems."

Zhu Zhang smiled back, "I don't know where to go when I arrive at Hezhouhou so late?"

"If you have nothing to do, go to Da Si Kou's mansion to sit." Mo Jing twirled the jade wrench on his thumb.

"Then I won't bother Hezhou waiting for you." Zhu Zhang bowed again, and walked sideways to make way, but Mo Jing's cold voice came from Mo Jing's ear after walking a few steps.

"Tell your master, after this incident, all the debts I owe him will be cancelled."

The days passed day by day, and there was still no progress in Hezhouhou's affairs. Seeing that it was time for Hezhouhou to go back, Zhaoyang inevitably became a little irritable. In such a passive situation, she had no chance to attack. If this continues, she will lose.

Just when she was frowning, Yingli finally sent the news.However, Yingli only asked the emissary to bring a sentence, and summoned Hezhouzhou Situ.Zhaoyang is a little puzzled. Da Situ manages land, household registration and finance. She knows this, but can she be summoned to prove corruption with the state marquis?With He Zhouhou's shrewdness, how could he leave such a big hidden danger.

But since Yingli said so, Zhaoyang immediately had people summon Hezhou Marquis.

Mo Jing is not very old, he looks younger than Ying Li, but his real age is unknown.Liu Guo is really talented.

Zhaoyang cleared his throat: "Mo Qing has been in Fenhua Palace for a long time."

Mo Jing rolled his eyelids, "My lord, it's indeed been a long time."

"I have almost checked the account book here. I should have let you go back, but there are still some questions that need to be asked by Hezhou Situ. Why don't you wait for Hezhou Situ to come and deal with the matter here, and then go back with you. "Zhaoyang paused, and added: "There is a little Sikou in Hezhou watching, there will be no major problems, you can rest assured."

Mo Jing bowed his head and saluted: "Then bother the Lord for a few more days."

From Mo Jing's expression, Zhao Yang couldn't see anything, he didn't panic at all, he didn't seem to worry at all, he looked like he was in control.

What an old fox, Zhaoyang sighed in his heart, looked away resentfully, and made Marquis Hezhou back away.

Two days later, Hezhou Situ arrived at Fenhua Palace.She was wearing a dark brocade official uniform, her long black hair was tied up with a hairpin, and she saluted Zhaoyang after entering the door.

"Get up." Zhaoyang raised his hand.

Hearing that Hezhou Situ raised his head, Zhaoyang saw her appearance clearly, and blurted out: "Shan Ke?"

"Return to the Lord, that's right." The woman replied, that indifferent look was like carved out of Mo Jing's same mold.

"What's your name?" Zhao Yang asked.

"Susu"

"Birth name?"

Su Su's eyes flickered slightly, she lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Yes"

Zhaoyang rested his chin with one hand, flipped through the ledger with the other, and asked as if chatting, "How long have you been with Marquis Hezhou?"

"It has been more than 100 years since I returned to the Lord."

"You have been loyal for so many years, and you have done this for him." What Zhaoyang said naturally meant that she made false accounts and helped Hezhou Marquis to embezzle money. Zhaoyang only found out today that Su Su was holding the dormitory. All over the states, the restaurant with hometown taste that she once liked is also under her management.

At that time, although I was curious about this mountain guest, I didn't have the idea of ​​making friends. I didn't expect that after so many years, I went around and met by chance.

"The minister's life is to be rescued by Hezhou." Su Su naturally knew what Zhaoyang was referring to, and she also knew that what she did was based on the suffering of the people, and the crimes she committed were too numerous to record.But what can she do, He Zhouhou appeared in front of her when she was most embarrassed, reached out to her when she was most desperate, and pulled her out of the abyss.

At that moment, she knew that no matter he was a good guy or a bad guy, she could only follow him in this life.

Su Su's answer was so straightforward, which made Zhaoyang even more confused about Yingli's meaning.Su Su obviously has no intention of surrendering, and there will be no progress in the chat, so she said a few words casually, and took her to visit the Fenhua Palace.It has to be said that Zhaoyang started to poach the wall, even though it was very difficult.

Zhaoyang and Su Su walked out of the gate one after the other. The female officials standing outside the study door saw Zhaoyang come out, bowed, and then came up to serve. After passing through the gap between the female officials, Zhaoyang Yang caught a glimpse of a few people kneeling on one side, but at first she didn't pay much attention to it, but when she was about to turn her head away, she suddenly felt that the figure of one of them was somewhat familiar.

"Who are they?" Zhao Yang asked He Lian, the new chief secretary who was arranged by Qing Shan.

"It's just a few servants of the lower officials." Su Su replied before He Lian.

"Oh?" Zhaoyang took a few steps in that direction, and the female officers standing in front immediately spread out to both sides, and now they could see more clearly.Zhaoyang stood still only three steps away from them, and said slowly, "Raise your head."

Several people kneeling on the ground raised their heads slowly, and when they saw a familiar face, the corners of Zhaoyang's mouth turned up slightly: "Brother Yuan, it's been a long time."

Pei Yuan was a little shocked to see Zhao Yang, who was surrounded by female officials and dressed in fancy attire, was speechless. She was not absconding, how could she become King Liu, how could she become King Liu!Suddenly, he felt a pair of invisible hands gripping his heart fiercely, making him breathless. He was no match for her before, but he thought that he was at least much better than her, a fugitive. He can hold his head up in front of him.But he never expected that she would become King Liu, standing in a place that he could never touch in his life, but he could only kneel down in front of her unwillingly.

Throat tightened, Pei Yuan tried to open his mouth a few times, but in the end he could only say the word "Master".

"Brother Yuan, why do you see each other so far from me? Anyway, we have lived together for more than ten years." Zhaoyang personally stepped forward and helped Pei Yuan up, "Just call me sister Zhaoyang as before."

"My lord, I'm afraid this is against the rules." Pei Yuan shied away.

"What are you afraid of? Logically speaking, you can be considered my elder brother." Zhao Yang put Pei Yuan's arm around him and said happily, "Speaking of which, how is Teacher Pei Yi? It's been a long time since I saw you." .”

Pei Yi glanced at Su Su without looking for any trace, then lowered his head and said, "My father is fine."

"After I finish my work here, how about going to see Teacher Pei Yi together? Brother Yuan."

"Okay." At this moment, Pei Yuan knew that he was powerless, so he could only accept it.

After visiting the Fenhua Palace for a while, Zhaoyang asked Pei Yuan and Su Su to have a rest.Watching their backs leave, Zhaoyang's smile faded, and he didn't know how Yingli knew about Pei Yuan's existence. It seemed that Pei Yuan didn't know that Yingli was in Hezhou at this time.If he knew, he would never come to Fenhua Palace.When she saw Pei Yuan, she already understood Yingli's meaning, and acted according to Yingli's meaning, because she knew that this was their only breakthrough.It's ridiculous to say that she has never treated Pei Yuan so kindly before. Although she is sorry for Teacher Pei Yi, she must not give up this opportunity.

In the dead of night, when Azhu, the female officer of the night watch, opened the door to announce that someone was asking to see her, Zhaoyang knew that the matter had finally been settled.

The next day, according to the criminal evidence of Hezhouhou's corruption submitted by Pei Yuan, Zhaoyang sent General Zuo to arrest Mo Jing immediately after he was convicted of the crime of Hezhouhou's corruption. Everyone is imprisoned in heaven prison.

But what I didn't expect was that when General Zuo arrived at Mo Jing's resting palace, the building was already empty.

"It's the lower officials who are incompetent, I beg the Lord to punish." Left General Wu Hai knelt in front of Zhaoyang and confessed his mistake.

"Everyone with low eyelids can let go. How did you become General Zuo?" Zhaoyang slapped the table angrily, "I'm really afraid that once I close my eyes one day, I won't be able to open them again."

"It's the lower officials who are incompetent, so I ask the Lord to punish you." Wu Hai kept repeating this sentence.

Zhaoyang was very annoyed by this, and rubbed his head: "Get out, and go and get the punishment from Zai Zuo."

Wu Hai knelt on the spot and moved slightly, hesitatingly said: "Then, my lord, do you want to send more people..."

"Going to Xianji, a mortal can turn the world upside down?" Zhaoyang said impatiently: "Let him fend for himself, guard the Fenhua Palace well, and if anything happens, I will blame you ,get out."

"Yes, my lord." Wu Hai then stood up, committed himself and retreated.

"Zhaoyang, why do you have to be so angry." Qingshan said without opening her mouth.

"You can't even catch the prisoner, what a waste." Zhaoyang cursed.

Qingshan can understand Zhaoyang's mood, and actually let a prisoner in Fenhua Palace run away. I really want to laugh out loud: "I heard that during this time, Mo Jing and Yuan Ya have been very close, General Zuo Again..." Qingshan hesitated to speak.

"I know." Zhaoyang looked up at the green shirt, "but there is no evidence, and I can't do anything with them. We'll wait for Yingli to come back to discuss everything. As for Pei Yuan, let him take office on the grounds that he has meritorious evidence. Hezhou marquis, there will always be rewards and punishments. The others are temporarily detained. Let’s talk about it later.”

"Understood"

Wang directly hand-picked Pei Yuan to take office in Hezhou a few days later. After Yingli handed over everything and arranged for a few capable people to fill the vacant positions, it was already half a month before he returned to Fenhua Palace. .There was another person who came with him, Zhaoyang was a little surprised and went to greet him in person.

As soon as Teacher Pei Yi saw Zhaoyang, he saluted Zhaoyang, and refused to ask Zhaoyang to help him up without saying anything, so Zhaoyang had no choice but to give up. white hair.

In fact, after Zhaoyang ascended the throne, he wrote to invite teacher Pei Yi. Although teacher Pei Yi was not as knowledgeable as the Taifu, he was Zhaoyang's benefactor.It is still possible to use Wang's power to give Teacher Pei Yi a leisurely official.But teacher Pei Yi replied clearly refusing it. What was unexpected was that the teacher did not tell Pei Yuan about her accession to the throne as King Liu, and he did not know why.What's even more strange is that Yingli actually knew about it.

"I implore the lord to appoint Bei as Uncle Hezhou Shepherd." Back in the main hall, as soon as Zhaoyang sat down, teacher Pei Yi made another salute.

Zhaoyang hesitated: "Teacher, you know what this means."

"Hushen understands." Pei Yi replied with his head down, "Hushen is his father after all, and he is willing to listen to his father's words after all."

If Pei Yuan keeps his own place, he will be prosperous and rich all his life, but if he plots against the law, then the end can be imagined.

Knowing a son is like a father, Pei Yi knows that with Pei Yuan's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for him to work under Zhaoyang for the rest of his life.

But what can he say, he can tell which is more important, and he can only blame Pei Yuan's damn jealousy.If Tatsuya was still there, Pei Yida could justly accuse Zhaoyang, and then let Zhaoyang save Pei Yuan's life.Koda was gone, and he saw with his own eyes his son walking out of the alley with a cold expression on his face and turning away, with blood on his trousers.

And when he arrived, he saw Tatsuya lying quietly in the alley, with no signs of life.

He promised Zhaoyang to take good care of Tatsuya, but his son became the indirect murderer who killed Tatsuya. Now he has no face to blame Zhaoyang.

Pei Yuan had a big fight with him, and it was at that time that Pei Yi really saw the true face of his own son with a gentle smile.

"Isn't it Tatsuya who died, you just beat me and scolded me like this, what is Zhaoyang, she deserves all your efforts to please. I am your own son, your own son."

At that time, he was trembling with anger, unable to say a word, he could only watch Pei Yuan slam the door and leave, and there was no news from then on.

Zhaoyang's lips moved, but she didn't say a word in the end. Even though she had no choice but to use Pei Yuan to push him to the forefront, she was ruthless.She was very guilty, so she didn't want to bring Teacher Pei Yi into it again.But instead of blaming her, the teacher took on this position, which caused Zhaoyang a lot of headaches and made it difficult to choose a candidate.Uncle Mu is caught between the king and the state marquis, no matter which choice he makes, his life will be in danger.

After a long time, Zhaoyang sighed deeply: "Teacher, get up, I promise."

Teacher Pei Yi kowtowed to Grace, got up, did not say a word, hunched over, and exited the hall step by step.Since then, I am afraid I will never see you again.

Zhaoyang was lost in thought, Yingli called out several times before she realized, and said "ah" with a confused face: "Yingli, what did you just say?"

"Teacher Pei Yi has his own plan, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it." Ying Li repeated it patiently.

Zhaoyang smiled faintly: "I'm not thinking about that."

Zhaoyang said she wasn't lying, and Yingli could tell at a glance, but she didn't expose her. Anyway, Teacher Pei Yi has raised her for so many years, it's impossible for Pei Yuan to forget her past friendship.

Seeing that Yingli didn't speak, Zhaoyang hurriedly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, what's going on with Pei Yuan."

"He has already lost contact with the teacher. Daozhou is a place under my jurisdiction. It's not like you don't know his temperament, so naturally he won't submit to me. I heard that he went south, but I didn't expect to take refuge under Mo Jing's sect." I saw him from a distance in the state marquis's mansion before, and asked the servants to find out. Fortunately, he happened to be working for Su Su."

"What happened to him and the teacher?" Zhaoyang asked curiously.

Yingli looked at Zhaoyang and thought for a while, then decided it was better not to tell her, and said, "I don't know the details."

Zhaoyang nodded without any doubt: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It's just a small matter, and telling you it will only make you unhappy." Yingli obviously didn't want to continue talking, so she brought up another matter: "The matter with Hezhou has come to an end, and there is nothing to do right now, how about you Take Zaifu to Yan Country."

Zhaoyang hesitated for a moment: "And Yuan Ya..."

"Qingshan and I are here on this matter, so you don't have to worry. Of course, we know these old things much better than you." Yingli paused, seeing that Zhaoyang was still worried, and added: "Bi Speaking of this, you and Zaifu are the ones who really worry us, you are half of each other." The relationship is not so close.

Speaking of this, Zhaoyang became a little upset, and sighed: "I don't think I did anything wrong!"
