Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 265: Resist the decree in public!

Ma Rulong stared at Princess Taiping with a livid face, and clenched the hands hidden in his sleeves tightly.

He didn't expect that the injustice he had fabricated by himself would only end up killing two insignificant young generals.

If he waited for Fan Xin to come back, wouldn't his career be over?

"Ma Shangshu, there are gods three feet above your head, and God is watching what people do. You'd better settle the funeral arrangements as soon as possible before the consort comes back.

"Hmph, let's go!"

Princess Taiping glanced at Ma Rulong coldly and left with a group of officials.

Although only two generals were convicted in this shocking case, the rebels were rescued after all.

She had to find a way to find these people.

After everyone left, a middle-aged official came closer and said with a smile.

"Don't be discouraged. Although Fan Xin was not hurt this time, his military power may not be preserved."

"Come on, let's go have a few drinks!"

……

Prime Minister's Mansion.

As the most luxurious residence in Luoyang, today's Xiangguo Mansion has changed from the deserted past and has become more solemn.

Dozens of courtiers lined both sides of the hall, looking at the leader with solemn expressions.

"Your Highness, despite your Majesty's protection, only two insignificant generals were sacrificed in the court today."

"But for Duke Yan, if he doesn't find the traitor to clear his suspicions, I'm afraid there will be even greater trouble in the future."

"Yes, His Majesty's health is getting weaker and weaker, and it will be a matter of time before he abdicates."

"If we want the young King Jin to take over the position of crown prince, we must not make the slightest mistake."

"So the top priority is that we must find those traitors as soon as possible and quell this turmoil."

Faced with the persuasion of the ministers, Princess Taiping nodded majestically with a pretty face.

"You are all veterans of the princess's residence. If you have anything to say, I will tell you directly."

"This is obviously someone who wants to attack the Prince Consort and King Jin. If we don't retaliate, the enemy will only become more aggressive."

"Therefore, I leave the matter of impeaching Ma Rulong and the princelings to your Yushitai."

Wei Yuanzhong bowed his hand.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have ordered my censor to go home and write a memorial. Ma Rilong's mother receiving tens of thousands of taels of gold is enough to give him a headache."

Cui Di, who was at the head, also followed up and said: "Our Luozhou Prefecture sent a large number of officials, and the people were rescued at Lijing Gate. There is no way there are no clues."

Seeing that everyone had made arrangements, Princess Taiping stood up and gave a salute.

"The prince-in-law is about to return in triumph. In order for King Jin to successfully take over the throne, I leave everything to you!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, we will support His Highness Prince Jin to the death!"

All the ministers clasped their fists and said loudly.

After sending these people away, Princess Taiping looked at the punishment department in the distance and sighed.

In two days, Cao Bingbing and Jiang Yunding should be taken to Yingtianmen to be beheaded in public.

"Your Highness, Cao Bingbing and Cao Bingbing acted recklessly, but he is still loyal to the Duke. We cannot let him die in vain."

Li Lang bowed and said.

Looking back at him, Princess Taiping said with emotion.

"It's natural. I'll let Fan An withdraw 800 copper coins from the accountant and send them to their hometown..."

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Due to the strong counterattack from the Yushitai, the memorial to impeach the Minister of Punishment was sent to the Guanfeng Hall like snowflakes.

The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, so he ordered his chamberlain to put the memorials of impeachment against the prince and Ma Rulong into two large boxes and send them to Fengge Luantai.

It was immediately known to all the ministers that Prince Li Xian was used to being notorious and didn't care at all.

But Ma Rulong was different. He was pointed at everywhere he went, which made him so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

However, no matter how violent the impeachment by Wei Yuanzhong and others was, it could not stop the fact that Cao Bingbing and his family would be taken to the execution ground.

"Reporting to Prime Minister Yuan, the criminals Cao Bingbing, Gan and others have been brought to the execution ground!"

Signaling the guards to retreat, Yuan Shu had already glanced at the crowded execution ground.

His face was a little gloomy.

He thought he would drag Fan Xin into trouble, but he didn't want to kill only a few generals, which made him extremely annoyed.

Arriving in front of Cao Bingbing, Yuan Shu knelt down and patted his face.

"You arrogant and powerful generals think that you can gain a lifetime of fame by dying for someone."

"Little did he know that he was just a worthless chess piece in the eyes of a big shot."

"If you die, your life will be gone, but my family will still be rich and wealthy, with many wives and concubines. Is it worth thinking about it?"

Cao Bingbing raised his head and glanced at him, spitting disdainfully.

"The Duke of Guo once said that when the country is in trouble, every man is responsible."

"How can a selfish old dog like you understand?"

"If you are a man, give me a good time!"

Yuan Shu had wiped the spit on his cloth boots and narrowed his eyes.

"The Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty with the surname Li. As a member of the Tang Dynasty, I will naturally not let others get their hands on the artifact!"

"Fan Xin can't do it, and neither can his son King Jin!"

"Since you are obsessed with it, then the truth will help you!"

After that, he waved his sleeves and robe and walked towards the execution platform and said loudly.

"The guards listened to the order and immediately blocked the Yingtian Gate to prevent anyone from hijacking the execution ground. When the third quarter of noon arrives, they will be executed!"

"Follow the order!"

The guards shouted loudly, and instantly turned into several torrents and rushed towards the sentry post.

Just as the people watching were talking about it, in front of the west gate of Luoyang, a group of Qianniu Guards wearing flying bear uniforms, red coats, and tiger gold boots came on horseback.

At the front of them was a young man wearing a black python court dress and a purple gold belt around his waist.

"Shut up!"

When he came to the city gate, Qian Niuwei suddenly pulled the reins and said loudly.

"General Manager, we have arrived at the Capital of Gods!"

"Yeah, I'm finally back."

Looking at the two big characters Luoyang on the city wall, Fan Xin showed a long-lost smile on his face.

According to the instructions of the imperial court, he was supposed to go to Yingtianmen with the main force to sacrifice the Turkic Khan and a group of prisoners.

But in order to see his wife and children as soon as possible, he specially led a group of personal guards to rush back early.

"I've been away for such a long time, and I don't know how Taiping and the two little darlings are doing."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Fan Xin touched the black wind horse's head and rushed into Luoyang.

Three hundred personal guards saw this and followed closely.

A group of people rode to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the sharp-eyed servant wiped his eyes in disbelief.

Then he put down his broom and stormed into the house, shouting that the Duke was back.

After receiving the news, Princess Taiping quickly led her servants to open the middle door and come out to greet her.

As soon as he saw Fan Xinzhen coming back, he immediately threw himself into his arms.

"Okay, so many people are watching. What does it look like to cry and cry?"

As he said this, Fan Xin's arms tightened.

For a long time, Princess Taiping wiped the corners of her eyes, her pretty face flushed and her head lowered.

"Your Majesty, you must be tired from running around for days. Go inside and have a rest. I'll go make some lean meat porridge for you."
