After half a month, Liang Youxuan's case of suppressing the Lu Party was not tried, and he only went to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to deal with other official duties every day. The prince sent someone to question him, but he said that there was not enough evidence and it would take several days.

This day was as usual, Liang Youxuan walked out of the Chuihua Gate, walked to the front yard and called his follower Yan Song, the two left the mansion and went straight to the hall of the Ministry of Justice.

As soon as he entered the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a Shi Ling official from the Ministry of Criminal Justice greeted him, bowed and said: "My lord, something has happened. This morning, officials from four counties came to report the case, saying that their lord disappeared strangely. It was confirmed in the prison and the morgue, and the discovery was not among them."

"How could it be?" Liang Youxuan was astonished. She was afraid that she would lose some of her colleagues, but she searched Xu Dang's private prison to the bottom.

"My lord, my subordinates speculate that Xu Dang is still in another private prison, and there may be far more than four people whose whereabouts are unknown."

"Bo Yuan's guess is not unreasonable." Liang Youxuan's heart skipped a beat, "We shouldn't have withdrawn our people so quickly."

"Yan Song, you lead a team to continue to monitor Xu Dang. If you find anything suspicious, report it immediately." Liang Youxuan felt vaguely bad in his heart. It has been half a month since she went to pick someone up. Xu Dang is vicious, Those colleagues may have been caught up.

"Yes, my lord, this subordinate will go now." Knowing that it was an urgent matter, Yan Song took the order, turned around and left the hall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Bo Yuan, hurry up and find out how many officials have been arrested in each prefecture and county. Anyone who is not in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice must be registered."

"Yes, my lord." The official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice ordered Bo Yuan to leave in a hurry.

Liang Youxuan walked to the front of the case and sat down, he couldn't help being horrified, when the people of the day were in a hurry to fight, there was a commotion outside the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then three eunuchs wearing eunuch uniforms came in.

Liang Youxuan was taken aback when he saw the eunuch in charge. It was the second time that the steward in the eunuch's womb had stepped into the hall of the Ministry of Punishment. The servant welcomes the father-in-law, but what is the business of the father-in-law here?"

"Lila Shilang, Duo Lila~ Our family is here to convey a message for the prince. The prince ordered all civil and military officials to be summoned to the Jinluan Hall~" Eunuch Lou folded his hands in his belly, and glanced lightly at Liang Youxuan. Hurry up and leave, I missed the time for the crown prince's morning court, hum~ but it's not good~"

Liang Youxuan raised his head in surprise when he heard the words, it was already time, why did he suddenly want to go to court before noon?Could it be that the prince can't sit still and wants to make a move?

"Eunuch, please wait a moment, let the official go back to the mansion to inform the family." Liang Youxuan bowed, but his palms were already sweating.

"No need, someone from Lord Hou has already gone to inform you." Eunuch Lou glanced at Liang Youxuan, and snorted, "The Liang family has never participated in factional disputes, why did they want to be an enemy of Mr. Xu when they came to the servant?"

Liang Youxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, this Eunuch Lou finally lost his composure.

"Eunuch, what do you mean? The officials are dull and don't understand." Liang Youxuan turned around with a serious face, his back to Eunuch Lou, and his tone became cold.

"Hey, such a smart person can't understand? Liang Shilang, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes~ The crown prince values ​​you at the moment. If you join hands with Mr. Xu, wouldn't the glory, wealth, fame and fortune be easily captured?" Eunuch Lou walked away. He took a step forward and smiled flatteringly.

Upon hearing this, Liang Youxuan walked quickly to the case, picked up the gavel and patted it heavily.

"My dynasty stipulates that eunuchs are not allowed to participate in government affairs. As the steward of the Eastern Palace, you don't want to serve the crown prince, but secretly colluded with the party. You are so courageous!!!"

"You!" Eunuch Lou was dumbfounded. No official had ever dared to treat him like this.

"Come on, take down those who betray the Lord and bring disaster to the country!!!"

As soon as this remark came out, the government servants outside the hall rushed in and quickly detained the three eunuchs in the hall.

"Our family belongs to the prince. How dare you detain me? You clearly don't take the prince seriously. Our family is going to sue you in front of the prince." Eunuch Lou raised his neck and screamed while struggling.

"The one who betrays the master, how can the prince stay?" Liang Youxuan walked down the steps slowly, lowered his head to look at Lord Lou who was being escorted and knelt on the ground, and said: "If I play to the prince in the court hall, please tell me, prince How will I deal with you, father-in-law?"

As soon as the words fell, Eunuch Lou's complexion changed, he looked up at Liang Youxuan in panic, then shook his head and said: "No, the prince won't believe it, and you have no evidence, how can the prince believe it?"

"My father-in-law thinks I forgot that the Lu party was not summoned to Beijing, and there are only people's words without evidence. But today's father-in-law's words are all witnessed by the officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The officials thought that the father-in-law knows the prince so well, so he should know how he is." End?" Liang Youxuan folded his hands behind his back, bent over, and looked at Eunuch Lou.

"You..." Eunuch Lou sat paralyzed on the ground and didn't struggle. Yes, he knew the prince well. For so many years, he would rather make a mistake. He knew that the prince was jealous of the Xu party, but he couldn't resist the temptation of money.

"Come here, take the three of them to the prison, and you can't come out without order. I will discuss the crime after the official courts the crown prince." Liang Youxuan sounded the startle, and as soon as the words fell, the eunuch was escorted by the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Go to the prison.

Liang Youxuan raised his hand and touched the transfer order on his waist. This was an unusual appearance. Liang Youxuan raised his sweaty hands to adjust the black gauze hat on his head, and strode out of the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment.

Hundreds of officials gathered outside the Meridian Gate, Liang Youxuan saw King Ling Qing at the front, and saw King Ling Qing pointing his thumb to the south gate very cryptically, Liang Youxuan stopped walking, and saw Yan Wenliang on the right row Glancing at her, he quietly left and headed for the north gate.

Liang Youxuan had no expression on his face, but he was extremely nervous inside. He turned around pretending to be calm, and walked towards the south gate. The one who was supposed to come still came.

At this moment, snowflakes began to fall in the sky, the Meridian Gate was opened by the servants, and all the officials poured into the palace and walked towards the Jinluan Hall.

Liang Youxuan and Yan Wenliang rushed up when all the officials entered the palace, they exchanged glances and hurriedly searched for their seats. When they were young, the two classes of civil and military officers stood still, only to hear the servants shout, "His Royal Highness has arrived."

Civil and military officials lift their robes and kneel.

When the prince was about to enter the main hall, he glanced at his elderly father and said: "Father, as Chen Shi said, I will be in the palace later, what you said is true and you can enjoy peace, if your words are slightly inappropriate , don't blame the minister for not thinking of the love between father and son."

The old emperor closed and closed his eyes, as if responding.

The prince nodded in satisfaction and strode out.

"The ministers are waiting to see His Royal Highness, Your Highness is thousands of years old."

"Everyone's family is in peace." The prince walked to the front of the hall and sat on the crown prince's seat next to the dragon chair.

Civil and military officials rose up upon hearing the sound.

The prince saw King Lingqing startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "After hearing that the emperor helped the disaster, he visited many famous mountains and ancient temples. This is really enviable to my brother."

"The places where I play are all the corners of the country managed by the emperor. Thanks to the blessing of the emperor, I have this beautiful scenery." King Ling Qing stood in the front row and replied unhurriedly.

The prince smiled when he heard the words, then looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, raised his hand to beckon the servant, and whispered: "Let Director Lou act according to the plan."

"Return to Your Highness, the manager has not returned yet." The servant replied.

"What?" The prince was astonished, but at the moment he was a little panicked. He turned his head suddenly and saw Xu Dang's faction, and his panic gradually calmed down. .”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Long live here!" Suddenly, all the officials who bowed their heads in shock raised their heads, and the crown prince also stood up in shock.

"Your Majesty, I will see you, long live, long live, long live."

The prince stared fiercely at the old emperor with his eyes clearly warning.The prince approached to salute, got up and supported the old emperor's hand and secretly exerted force, obviously there was still a long time before the old emperor's appearance, and the play he arranged hadn't even started yet.

"Your family, stay flat." The old emperor sat on the dragon chair, and he was already emaciated. "What does the Qing family want to play?"

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play." Yan Wenliang came out and knelt on the main hall, "Now Xu Shangshu took advantage of His Majesty's serious illness to forge General Lu's notes, forcing General Lu to cry for injustice. Clearly, General Lu has nothing to do with collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, please read the letter of false accusation that day."

"Your Majesty, it is a fact that General Lu colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. I hope Your Majesty will make a clear conclusion." Xu Shangshu walked out of the queue slowly, knelt down, and his tone was not the least bit flustered.

The old emperor took the letter from the servant, looked at the prince and asked, "Prince, have you checked it carefully?"

"Father, this is natural. Yan Wenliang's grievance for the guilty minister should have the heart of rebellion." The prince said while supporting the old emperor's back, but in fact a dagger was pressing against the old emperor's spine.

The old emperor smiled when he heard the sound, and then scolded: "You bastard, the handwriting is different, why did you close the case in a hurry?" At this point, the old emperor paused, frowned, and then said: "Lu Qing is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but you listen to treacherous ministers, It’s really not worthy of storage.”

When Xu Dang saw the old emperor's posture, he was obviously not threatened. Fortunately, they were well prepared. Xu Shangshu's brother, Prime Minister Xu, ordered people to quietly leave the palace to transfer relatives into the palace.

This scene happened to be seen by King Ling Qing, and he quickly winked at his subordinate General Zhang, who also quietly left the Golden Luan Hall to call in the five thousand elite soldiers who were ambushing outside the imperial city.

"Ah..." The old emperor couldn't bear the pain in his younger generation's vertebrae, so he turned down the steps with all his strength and rolled down to the feet of the courtiers in the hall.

"Father Emperor!!!" King Ling Qing ran to the old emperor after being astonished, and all the officials were dumbfounded. No one could believe that the emperor's back was stained red with blood.

"Listen, the outside is already surrounded by lonely people. Only by surrendering to the lonely can you survive, otherwise, you will all die." The prince shouted with his hands behind his back, and when he was young, two teams came out with knives. The guards surrounded the officials in the center.

As soon as this remark came out, many officials had already knelt down and shouted long live.

"The prince kills the king and father, how can there be long live? It should be ten thousand deaths." Master Liang stood upright, watching the prince's every word sonorously and forcefully.

"Presumptuous, I want to praise you father and son, I can't imagine that you are ignorant of current affairs. When the soldiers arrive later, I will let you die first to sacrifice the flag." After speaking, he sat on the dragon chair with his sleeves thrown, and Xu Dang stood on both sides , as if in escort.

Hearing this, Liang Youxuan leaned slightly sideways in front of his father, holding a wine glass tightly under the robe in his right hand.

"Royal Father!!!" King Ling Qing sneaked into the palace the night before, and the past suspicions between father and son disappeared, and King Ling Qing finally understood what fatherly love is.

"Behind the plaque, there is an imperial decree drawn up four years ago, to eliminate the rebellious party and ascend the throne according to the decree." The old emperor said intermittently.

"Father." King Ling Qing pressed the wound firmly, but he couldn't prevent the blood from flowing out.

When he was young, shouts came from outside the hall, Liang Youxuan let go of his right hand, and the wine glass slipped to the ground, and the guards at the south gate who were hiding outside the hall quickly climbed into the hall.

"Prince, kill the king and father, shoot and kill!!!" The old emperor shouted with all his strength, his eyes wide open.

Neither the crown prince nor Xu Dang expected that Benner's southern gate guards would strike back. Panicked, the prince turned and ran, only to be stabbed in the back by the guards chasing him.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the old emperor chuckled twice, stretched his hind legs and went away.
