The night passed, the sun ripped apart the night, and a new day began.

The store owner looked out carefully through the crack of the door. The street was very calm. Can you open a store?

The sky is getting brighter.

Finally a store opened.

With the first, there will be a second.

More and more stores are opening their doors to welcome guests from all over the world.

People in the capital also took to the streets.

No matter how noisy the palace is, the day will continue.

The noisy market made people forget the bloody yesterday and threw themselves into the daily life of chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.

However, in the palace, everything is just the beginning.

After a night of rest, the emperor's complexion improved a lot.

The emperor did not rush to summon the courtiers, but took the lead in summoning Pei Meng.

Pei Meng took off his armor and put on a long robe with big sleeves. He took care of his body neatly, and returned to the appearance of a noble family.

The emperor looked at him with gentle eyes, Sit down and talk.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Pei Meng sat down on the round stool, tall and straight, with a serious face.

Why didn't your father return to Beijing?

As soon as the Son of Heaven opened his mouth, he wanted to make a proposition.

Pei Meng had already prepared, Father is afraid that after returning to Beijing, it will be difficult for His Majesty to do it.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled, your father still has a story to tell as always. He is afraid that I will keep him in the capital and won't let him go back to the northwest.

Pei Meng lowered his head, My father's thoughts, Wei Chen is not clear.

The Emperor snorted, It seems that the Marquis of Lu intends to take root in the northwest. I won't die for a day, and he won't return to the capital for a day.

Wei Chen is frightened, please forgive me!

Pei Meng bowed and pleaded guilty.

The emperor waved his hand, Don't be nervous, I will just talk casually. Since he refuses to return to Beijing, when you leave the capital,

Bring a will to go back to the northwest.

Wei Chen obeys the order! Pei Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that His Majesty does not intend to pursue this matter, fortunately!

The Son of Heaven asked again, How many men and horses did you bring when you returned to the capital this time? Where are you stationed?

Pei Meng bowed and said, Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Chen has brought a total of 2,000 men and horses, stationed in Jingxi Camp, and guarded the Jingxi Camp by the way.

The emperor nodded, Very good! Let's go down.

Pei Meng was a little surprised. Did you finish the question so quickly?

But that's fine too.

He is also not willing to make more stops in the palace.

Wei Chen retire!

Pei Meng left, and the bedroom was quiet again.

The emperor closed his eyes and rested for a moment, then beckoned Chen Dachang to his side, Is the interrogation over?

Half the trial, and the remaining half is still being interrogated. Chen Dachang said with a bow.

The emperor hummed, Show me the imperial edict.

Chen Dachang's heart jumped, and he bowed and said yes.

Soon, he took a bright yellow imperial decree and placed it in the hands of the emperor.

When the imperial decree unfolded, it was the imperial edict forged by Concubine Xue's mother and son, which clearly stated that the throne would be passed on to King Zhao.

The emperor smiled coldly, with thunderstorms flashing in his eyes, Has the Xue family recruited?

Xue Guifei refuses to say anything, just wants to die.

Death? Too cheap for her! You tell her, if you don't tell me, I will cut off the other arm of King Zhao.

Chen Dachang was startled, and still bowed and said yes.

The Son of Heaven said: I want to know the list of all the people involved in the rebellion, and not a single one is missing. The Xue family has been operating in the palace for so many years, and there must be many partisans. These people must be uprooted. It is better to kill the wrong one than let go.

Old slave obeys!

The emperor threw the fake imperial edict, Burn it!

Xiaohuangmen brought a brazier, and the emperor himself threw the fake edict into the brazier. The flames rushed up, and soon the imperial decree made by Silk Silk was completely burned.

The flames were gradually extinguished, and only a piece of ashes remained of the fake edict.

Afraid that it was not burnt clean, Chen Dachang checked it himself. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked Xiao Huangmen to carry the brazier down.

I heard that Liu Zhao slashed King Zhao yesterday for Gu Jiu's sake?

Exactly! Chen Dachang said truthfully.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, So, Liu Zhao didn't come to greet me, did he save Gu Jiu?

Your Majesty is right. People are talking about it, saying that Young Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao are more in love than Jin.

It's really confusing! The emperor scolded.

Chen Dachang didn't dare to talk nonsense any more.

The emperor snorted coldly, venting his dissatisfaction, Since he has already sent someone to rescue Gu Jiu, why does he have to go in person. Isn't it important here?

Chen Dachang hesitated for a while before saying: I heard that yesterday's situation was extremely dangerous. The thieves tied up Mrs. Zhao and wanted to take Mrs. Zhao to jump into the inner city river. At the critical moment, it was the son of Zhao who arrived and rescued Mrs. Zhao. .

The emperor snorted, Is Gu Jiu alright. Has the thief caught it?

Chen Dachang said honestly: Mrs. Zhao is all right, but she is not in a good mood. As for the thief, the son-in-law ordered people to search along the inner city river for a night, but there was no one alive or dead. The son-in-law even took people personally. I went to search outside the city, but still no trace of the thief was found.

I'm afraid I've already run away. After a pause, the emperor asked, Has it been found out, who tied Gu Jiu? What's the purpose? Is it just to hold Liu Zhao?

Chen Dachang said: Concubine Xue refused to reveal a word, and the others even asked three questions, and they couldn't explain Mrs. Zhao's affairs. The old slave looked at Mrs. Zhao, and it was not necessarily the fault of Concubine Xue. Maybe it was someone. Fishing in troubled waters, Concubine Xue decided to join forces temporarily. As for the purpose of kidnapping Mrs. Zhao, perhaps she wanted to contain the son of Zhao.

The emperor hummed, That's why I want to call Liu Zhao an idiot. He's exposing his weakness to others. If he doesn't kidnap Gu Jiu, I'll be sorry for his love than Jin Jian.

Chen Dachang hesitated for a moment, and then said: I heard that the son Zhao secretly left Beijing more than half a month ago, and returned to the capital in response to King Ning. During this period, he suffered several assassinations. Later, he cheated to death and deceived King Zhao. .

However, King Zhao said that among the heads that Liu Zhao brought, there were two people who were not his. In addition to those sent by King Zhao, there should be another wave of people who killed Gongzi Zhao.

The emperor nodded, Check, follow these clues to find out. What's the situation with King Yan now?

King Yan is imprisoned in Prince Yan's mansion, waiting for His Majesty's disposal.

Dispose of him, don't be in a hurry. Put Shu Jieyu into the cold palace first.

Chen Dachang was surprised.

Shu Jieyu is the former concubine, the biological mother of King Yan. Concubine Xian was demoted to Jieyu because of Concubine Li De's frame.

This time, King Yan helped King Zhao to make trouble, but Shu Jieyu would be the first person to be implicated.

Chen Dachang did not hesitate and took orders directly.

Today at the latest, Shu Jieyu will be put into the cold palace, and she will live in miserable wind and rain.

This is a win-win situation, a loss and a loss.

Shu Jieyu could not escape the crime committed by King Yan.

The Son of Heaven was still in good spirits, so he made a decision, Call Prince Ning and his son, I have something to ask them.

Chen Dachang was embarrassed, Young Master Zhao is still searching for thieves throughout the city.

The emperor was annoyed, Tell him to come over quickly. The grandson of the majesty, rushing to embroider the clothes and guards, he is very good! I have such a big thing, I don't know how to come to ask for peace, you ask him if he has any filial piety.

The old slave will arrange for someone to call the young master for an audience.

I will give him an hour. If an hour is not reached, the consequences will be at your own risk.

Chen Dachang immediately ordered someone to find Liu Zhao, and he must bring Liu Zhao to the palace within an hour.

...

Liu Zhao didn't rest all night, and before dawn, he personally took people out of the city to the pier to search for pipelines.

Zhou Jin seemed to be a fish into the sea, and since he jumped into the inner city river, there was no trace.

A big living person, I don't believe this young master, he can disappear out of thin air.

Liu Zhao's heart to kill Zhou Jin was very urgent.

It was as if Zhou Jin had killed his heart.

Dare to kidnap Xiaojiu, it's tantamount to spreading wildness on his head.

Without killing this person, Liu Zhao would have trouble sleeping and eating.

As soon as Liu Zhao returned to the city, he encountered a servant who was chasing after him from the palace.

According to His Majesty's order, Xuan Gongzi Zhao has an audience. Within an hour, His Majesty must meet people, or the consequences will be at your own risk. So far, three quarters of an hour have passed. Your Majesty's order, hurry up!

Liu Zhao frowned, feeling unhappy in his heart.

He was busy, and the royal grandfather told him what to do.

Young Master Zhao, don't hurry up to the palace to meet you. If you are late, you will be charged.

Liu Zhao snorted coldly and headed towards the palace on horseback.

Kankan rushed to the end, and Liu Zhao arrived at the bedroom.

King Ning has arrived and is playing the dutiful son.

Seeing Liu Zhao, King Ning waved quickly, Come and greet your imperial grandfather. You kid disappeared in a blink of an eye yesterday. If I didn't know that you had something to do, this king would have to take care of you.

Liu Zhao ignored King Ning, took three steps forward, and bowed in greeting, Grandson, see the emperor's grandfather. Is the emperor's grandfather better?

No gift! I heard that from yesterday to today, you have been busy hunting down thieves?

Exactly! Liu Zhao was very magnanimous.

The emperor pretended to ask casually, Is there a result?

Liu Zhao shook his head, There has been no result yet.

The emperor sneered, Do you know the crime?

Liu Zhao was a little confused, I don't know what crime my grandson committed.

Going out of Beijing privately is a big sin! The emperor said without doubt.

Liu Zhao secretly glanced at the emperor, and then looked at King Ning again.

King Ning is very peaceful today, and it is rare to be honest.

Don't hide anything in front of your grandfather. Just tell the truth. King Ning was not only honest, but also straightforward.

Liu Zhao immediately said: I know that the father and the king are in danger, if the grandson sticks to the rules and does not rescue him, he will be disloyal, unfilial and unjust.

You go out to Beijing privately, do you have both loyalty and filial piety?

It is indeed a mistake to go out to Beijing without permission, and my grandson is willing to be punished. Liu Zhao was a bachelor, too lazy to defend himself, so he just accepted the punishment neatly.

God is pissed.

I originally wanted to give Liu Zhao a chance, but the boy was impatient and thought he was long-winded.

The emperor pointed at him, Go back and think about it behind closed doors, plus a 20,000-word review.

What the hell is a review?

The emperor smiled proudly, Go home and ask Gu Jiu. 20,000 words, not a single word is allowed, otherwise I won't be able to spare you.

Liu Zhao: ...

The grandfather is taking revenge.

It just doesn't make sense.

snort!

Twenty thousand words are twenty thousand words!

He didn't even have the idea of ​​bargaining, so he responded directly.

The emperor was so angry that he regretted only 20,000 words. Just be ruthless, just 40,000 words.
