I am fish

This banquet is said to be held for Zhen Wenjun, but it is actually Wei Lun's plan to rescue Zuo Xu in a safe way, and to investigate more by the way. Zhen Wenjun is just an excuse.Wei Lun shuttled back and forth among the crowd, whispering, and he came only when Zhen Wenjun drank a little too much and swayed in front of the table several times, almost smashing his head down and breaking the table in two.

"Miss Zhen drank too much, A Ran." Wei Lun called A Ran, "Take Miss Zhen to rest."

"Yes."

Aran called two maidservants to help Zhen Wenjun, and Zhen Wenjun waved them away with a wave of his hand, raising his wine glass to Wei Lun.

This movement attracted the attention of all the princes and generals in the yard, and saw a young lady dressed in a very fashionable dress to raise a glass to respect Situ.

"Wei Situ." Zhen Wenjun stood on the spot, drifting in place without wind or waves, his eyes almost burst into flames when he stared at Wei Lun.

A Ran looked at her as if possessed by an evil spirit, and Wei Lun, who was used to seeing big scenes, did not change his face, and Zhen Wenjun suddenly sang the Pingcang folk song "New Wedding Dress".In order to train her to pretend to be Zhen Wenjun, who was born in the Pingcang family, Ajiao and Jiang Daochang of the Yue clan taught her a lot of folk songs.This "New Wedding Dress" is very famous in Pingcang, it talks about the joy and reluctance of an old mother before her daughter gets married.

Ever since A Ran told her that Wei Tingxu was engaged to Sun Wu, Zhen Wenjun's mind was full of this song, and he didn't know whose voice it was singing back and forth across the mountains.Seeing Wei Lun now, he couldn't hold back and sang directly.

The expressions of A Ran and Wei Lun were very exciting, and the other gentlemen in the courtyard who were chatting also all paid attention to the sound, with kind smiles on their faces.The grandson Wu was chatting happily with the young master of Dahonglu's family when he suddenly heard Zhen Wenjun's singing and looked in her direction.

"Isn't that the savior of Wei Gong's family? Why do you suddenly have such an interest." The son of Da Honglu's family drank the wine in his hand, rolling his Adam's apple vigorously, and put the wine glass aside, "Zhanying, I brought A few bottles of 50-year-old wine are in the kitchen, do you want to drink together?"

The elder Sun Wuduo took a look at Zhen Wenjun, and followed him to the kitchen.

Such a happy song was sung by Zhen Wenjun like a mourning concubine, without the celebration of marriage, but it made the eyes of all the old mothers whose children died on the front line turn red.A Ran tried to interrupt Zhen Wenjun several times but failed. Zhen Wenjun insisted on singing the whole song and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp. After respecting Wei Lun, he was helped away by A Ran.

"Why is my sister so sad?" A Ran took her to the bench under the tree in the backyard and sat down, gently wiped the tears off her face with a handkerchief, and asked the maid to bring a cup of tea to soothe the hangover.

Zhen Wenjun was still sniffling before drinking tea, and she didn't know what panacea was added to the tea. After the last sip of tea slipped down her throat, her forehead was clear, and she was sure that she was indeed singing in full view just now, and the smell of alcohol turned red The color had just faded away, and the embarrassing blushing came to his face again.

My dear mother, what have I just done!Am I singing in the yard crowded with most of the high-ranking officials and noble families in Runing?I'm mad? !

Zhen Wenjun finally came to his senses - it was all caused by Wei Tingxu!

Wei Tingxu sneezed for no reason.

"Girl, is it cold? I'll turn the charcoal up a little more." Lingbi thought that it would be cold in the north, but she didn't expect it to be this cold.Even in the house, I still feel the chill of the wind blowing in through the cracks.Not to mention the carbon fire, just lighting a pot of fire in the house may not be able to warm you up.The roar of the strong wind blowing through the valley is frightening, and the Jin people call it "the devil's ten".

There are no four seasons in northern Xinjiang. Here there is only a short spring and a fleeting summer, which together last only [-] days.The rest of the day was all the dreadful depths of winter.The thick ice and snow will melt quickly in just [-] days, flowing from the high mountains into the frozen grassland, awakening hibernating animals, and nourishing these grassland peoples in Chongjin.Give their horses grass to eat, and meat to them.

It is precisely because of the poor conditions and lack of supplies that the four major Hu tribes want to go south to occupy the fertile Dayu.

When Wei Tingxu and the others arrived in Northern Xinjiang, it was already at the end of the [-]th day, and soon this place will be ruled by severe cold again. Wei Tingxu and the others must leave this place before the snowstorm comes, otherwise their lives may be lost due to her physique .

Liu Feng lost his leg and now he has a high fever, two guards from the Wei family have already galloped their horses to chase Xie Fuchen in the wind and snow.

Although she also understood that the greater the wind and snow, the chances of catching up with Xie Fuchen would be slimmer, but she still had a glimmer of hope to prevent Xie Fuchen from returning to Runing.Xie Fuchen used to be a Qingqi school lieutenant, skilled in horse riding, not only good at spying on the enemy, but also knew how to cover his whereabouts.Wei Tingxu only hated that he was too weak and unable to ride a horse, otherwise he would have to catch up to stop Xie Fuchen no matter what.

Even though the temperature in northern Xinjiang dropped sharply after two heavy snowfalls, Wei Tingxu was not infected with the wind and cold, thanks to her insistence on taking the six dispelling cold pills before departure.These six pills are produced in the desert area of ​​Nanya, which is hot all day long. It can nourish the liver and quench the wind, and it is extremely dry and spicy. Let alone six pills, even a single pill will cause nosebleeds.If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapon. For Wei Tingxu, it is this broken body that drags her down. She has made sufficient preparations before coming here, so Lingbi was caught in two rounds of wind and cold. Wei Tingxu Ting Xu is still fine.

But what happened to the sudden sneeze?Wei Tingxu rubbed his nose lightly.

"Mr. Wei."

A dark guard covered in sweat stood behind a circle of flower beds and quietly called Wei Lun.

Wei Lun pushed away the people beside him and leaned over.

"Xie Fuchen has passed the official position." After speaking, the hidden guard disappeared.

Guan Yang is less than a thousand miles away from Runing, even if the journey is difficult, with Xie Fuchen's riding skills, he can reach Runing in at most four or five days.Sure enough, Zizhuo and Liu Feng failed to stop him.

Wei Lun placed the wine glass casually on the neatly manicured Ditang, and pushed through the crowd to find Changsun Yao.

"I'm happy for Sister Tingxu." Anyway, I've lost my face, now it's even more ridiculous to talk about losing my temper after drinking, so I simply admit it, there's nothing wrong with being a philanderer.Zhen Wenjun took the handkerchief from A Ran's hand with his backhand, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and hugged A Ran, "As Sister A Ran said, Sister Ting Xu has been traveling all year round without a home. Opportunity, not to mention finding a man you like. The eldest grandson is very suitable for sister Tingxu, and the two beautiful people will definitely give birth to a good-looking baby."

A Ran patted her on the back and sighed with her. Zhen Wenjun's arms holding A Ran gradually lost strength, and his expressionless face resting on her shoulders nodded his approval from time to time.

Losing his face, he had no face to go back to eat. When he left Situ Mansion, Zhen Wenjun's stomach was full of hunger. This night was really wronged. He knew that he shouldn't go, and made him unhappy.Even before leaving, some well-dressed young masters offered to send her off, but she didn't feel any joy.She knew that she was nothing, even tonight's banquet had nothing to do with her, and these oily-haired and pink-faced fools still mistook her for a noble person.

Zhen Wenjun's face was still a little hot when he was walking to Huaichen Mansion in the carriage, and he was dazed by the smell of alcohol when he hiccupped.Back in the mansion, Azhu came to pick her up to sober up, but Zhen Wenjun said no, and went straight to sleep.

Passing by the front hall, the lights are still on in the front hall, Li Yanyi is still planning something.After so many days, I don't know if she has slept or not.

Whether it's Li Yanyi or Wei Tingxu, whether it's Xie Fuchen or Wei Lun, these high-ranking people are betting their lives for the countless people behind them and the unpredictable future, but what is she, Zhen Wenjun, doing?For some small emotions, I use wine to relieve my sorrows, and I don't care if I don't care about it.

Lying in the hut, Zhen Wenjun couldn't sleep.

She knew that her mother was not saved, and there were still many things waiting for her to do, so she couldn't waste time and feelings here.

Wei Tingxu is really a terrible person. She has a way to make Xiaohua and Lingbi fall in love with her, and now Zhen Wenjun is about to become the next person who submits to her.

Stay awake and always tell yourself what you are here for.Comfort is false, wealth is false, and flattery is false.

Zhen Wenjun touched the old scar hidden under the new moon's "birthmark" on the collarbone, and dug in hard until the long-growing skin was broken again, causing her to curl up into a ball in pain.

There was sticky blood in the palm, which hurt, but it made her awake.

Let her remember who she is, her roots, her hatred, and her name—Alai.

Despite drinking a lot of wine, Zhen Wenjun woke up very early the next day.She went to the pharmacy to get some medicine and put it on herself.These few days, she was responsible for taking the medicine, and no one paid attention to what medicine she took.

The window of the pharmacy was facing the front yard. She heard the sound of carriages and horses and looked out. Before the sun came out, Li Yanyi got into the carriage and left.

At two o'clock in the fifth watch, the sound of Hong Zhong came from far away from the Forbidden Garden.The bell came from the bell tower in front of the Taiji Hall, and the drums at the gates of the streets continued to spread to farther places.This is the voice of the early dynasty, and on the eve of the increasingly hot Dragon Boat Festival, the whole Runing was awakened.

Li Yanyi, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the voice that symbolized the beginning of the morning, and broke the beads in his hand one by one into his palm.

Standing at the other end of Suzaku Avenue, watching the gate of Yong'an wide open, the ministers who had been waiting outside the gate since midnight were finally able to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Lin Quan, Wei Lun and Changsun Yao were among them.Today they will unite 56 important ministers to do a big event.

The lingering sound of Yongan Gate closing echoed muffled in the gray sky, like a yawning giant beast.

She grew up in the Forbidden Garden, but the owner here was never her.Five years ago no one thought it would be her, but now it is completely different.

Just like this day, it will change soon.

After the servant of the Huangmen gave a sharp voice, all the officials knelt down and worshiped Li Ju who was sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform.The upper half of Li Ju's face was hidden behind the crown, and it was impossible to see where he was looking. The lower half of Li Ju's long, angular face had already grown a lot of beards, and it was delicately combed into an inverted triangle shape.

Behind the dragon chair he was sitting on was a jade screen carved with dragons and painted phoenixes. Inside the screen hung down a curtain, through which a woman could be vaguely seen.There is a special maid beside the woman fanning her, and there are two basins filled with ice at her feet. Every time the fan is fanned, the wind will bring some coolness to the woman's body to cool down the heat.

At the beginning of the morning, Situ Weilun, Shaofu Chief Sun Yao, and Da Si Nonglin Quan went to Shushu to impeach Guo Ru, and handed the excellently written note to the Huangmen servant, who then sent it to Li Ju.

As the young master, Chang Sun Yao was the most eloquent, and he quickly stepped forward and stated Guo Ru's crimes one by one loudly to add fuel and embellishment.Changsun Yaowen sprayed for [-] quarters of an hour without adding anything before stopping to rest for a while. Afterwards, led by Wei Lun and Lin Quan, a large number of important officials followed suit.All of a sudden, everyone in the court heard a word piercing the clouds and cracking stones, which cannot be refuted.

Li Ju held the memorial, his joints became greener and whiter.A sentence of persuasive words pierced his ears, making him fly into a rage, almost jumped up from the dragon chair, and threw the memorial to the ground with all his strength.

"Ridiculous! Absurd!"

Li Ju's roar made all the officials in the hall kneel down in unison, Li Ju pointed at them: "It's useless for you to be called great ministers! Where are you, and what qualifications do you have to be called ministers? ! "Zuo Zhuan" has a saying, ministers are also those who control troubles and confuse! But what are you pretending to be in your head? Do you have the ability to cure troubles and confuse? You only teach the few people to get angry!"

Wei Lun said: "Your Majesty calm down..."

Li Ju raised his hand: "Wei Situ needless to say, the widow will ask you. Now that the Great Yu has suffered from famine for many years, the troubles on the northern line have not been eliminated, and the three major Hu tribes in the northwest have begun to harass the border again. The external troubles have not been eradicated, but the internal worries continue. Even if you can't eat, there are still people who are corrupt and pervert the law. You don't impeach such a person, but you want to impeach Guo Ru who defecates everywhere? What's the intention?"

Wei Lun frowned slightly and said nothing.

Changsun Yao, who was kneeling beside him, glanced at him quietly, and Lin Quan was even more puzzled.All the officials behind him also looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone knew who Li Ju was scolding angrily, but no one spoke.

"It's been so long, the widow has waited for so long, and no one has come forward to point out this matter. The widow asks you, are you worthy of the people of Da Yu, and the widow?"

Wei Lun said calmly, "Your Majesty is ignorant, what is your Majesty referring to about Hong Ai's embezzlement of food funds for disaster relief?"

Wei Lun hadn't uttered the last word of this word, Li Ju was like a hunter who saw a shrewd hare finally fall into a trap, and couldn't wait to close the net: "That's right! The widow is referring to Hong Ai! What age is it now? You all know how important food is, but this Hong Ai dared to take the people's life-saving money, this is Ling Chi's capital crime!"

Li Ju yelled sonorously and forcefully, not knowing whether he was angry or shouting too loudly, his face flushed.

Wei Lun slowly raised his head, his wolf-like firm and dangerous eyes slowly rose from behind the wat board, he was not disturbed by Li Ju's rage just now, and he still looked at him calmly.For a moment Li Ju felt like a clown, extremely stupid.

Ling Chi.Wei Lun laughed secretly in his heart, Li Ju secretly replaced the crime of "Yi nationality" with "Lingchi", that is, he just picked Hong Ai out and had nothing to do with other tribesmen.Feng Kun will not die, Feng Yiyi will not die either.Li Ju wanted to use his anger to divert everyone's attention and blur the point.Not only secretly reduced Hong Ai's crime, but also suppressed the impeachment of Guo Ru.It seems that Li Ju has made up his mind to sacrifice Hong Ai's pawn in order to keep Feng Kun and the three northern counties.

Wei Lun said: "Your Majesty's sages are wise and orderly, which is the blessing of Da Yu. I also think that Hong Ai's matter must be strictly investigated."

Li Ju raised his voice, "Guan Xun."

Guan Xun, who had been kneeling by the side without saying a word, seemed to be ready to be called. He came up and knelt down: "The minister is here."

"Then Hong Ai has confessed the details of the embezzlement of public funds?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Hong Ai has been in prison for 42 days, and he still refuses to admit the crime of corruption."

"The evidence is solid and he still wants to deny it. Then Hong Ai is just a small governor, and he dared to embezzle the official money. If he had no backing behind him, how would he dare to be so arrogant? Besides, if he really wanted to embezzle the official money, why would he steal the money?" Putting it in the mansion blatantly? That is 3 taels of cash, which is very conspicuous no matter where it is placed, not to mention that it is covered with official silver. Does Hong Ai think that he has lived too long? There is something strange, you must not let any corrupt officials escape. Guan Xun, I have ordered you to search the Hong Mansion again, and you must not let go of any details, and thoroughly search the Hong Mansion inside and out!"

Guan Xun said, "Here!"

It turned out to be the case.

Wei Lun knelt on the spot without making a sound.

It was probably because Li Ju found out that the source of the official bank was extremely suspicious, and wanted to start from this line, so he couldn't wait to denounce corruption, thus focusing everyone's attention on this matter.Li Ju was right about this point. Ever since the first emperor, he had been vigorously investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials. Li Ju still had the right to ask the Ting Wei Department to take the lead in hearing the case, not to mention that it was reasonable for him to do so.

Li Ju sat back, with Mian Yan shaking in front of his eyes.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his heartbeat was still fast.He thought that Wei Lun and his gang of treacherous parties would oppose him at the court, and that the Empress Dowager Geng who was sitting in the curtain would suddenly attack him, but they didn't do it in the end.Because the questions he raised were flawless, leaving no room for them to refute.

He looked at Wei Lun's still elusive face, and he knew that Wei Lun must have analyzed his actions just now one by one in his heart, and Wei Lun must be thinking - this kid Li Ju wants to investigate the source of the official money.

Sorry, this time you are going to lose.

Li Ju tried hard to suppress the desire to laugh.

That's not my purpose.

When the emperor spoke, Guan Xun brought people from the Ting Wei Department to the Hong Mansion, broke the seal, and rushed in.

"Search for me!"

"Here!"

Guan Xun and Jiang Huan stood at the door, watching with cold eyes the Hong mansion being turned upside down again.Jiang Juan was too hot to wear the high hat, and while fanning the pitiful wind with the flat snake badge, he asked Guan Xun: "Guess, how many times do we have to inspect the Hong Mansion again? It's a hot day." House raiding, this job is really not done by people. There are still a few hanged corpses of maidservants behind the house, this smell, tsk tsk tsk..."

Under Guan Xun's sword-like eyebrows, a pair of stern, single-skinned eyes slid towards Jiang Huan: "If you want to live a few more years, just shut up your rotten mouth."

Instead of being angry, Jiang Wei smiled, and spit out a message to Guan Xun's neck like a water snake: "Just my rotten mouth, you will be very useful."

The people from the Ting Wei Department searched for three quarters of an hour, they really didn't miss any corner, they searched very carefully.

Wei Lun and Lin Quan came, Guan Xun asked after the two saluted them, "Why, Wei Situ and Da Sinong are so free, come to supervise and handle the case?"

Lin Quan was born with a soft voice, and he was also a southerner. He spoke in a soft voice: "Where did this supervision come from? Because His Majesty attaches great importance to the case of Hong Ai, and as a subject, he naturally cares about it. Wei Situ and I also agree. and came."

Just as Guan Xun was about to say something, a voice of "The Son of Heaven is here" came, and they immediately knelt down and shouted:

"Welcome to the Son of Heaven!"

More than 30 heavily armored tiger and cardinal troops quickly divided into two columns. Li Ju walked from the middle with his arms behind his back and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Guan Xun said: "Return to the Son of Heaven, we haven't found any new clues yet."

Li Ju raised his eyebrows and paced alone on the spot, and the two little yellow men followed closely behind with canopies to shade the sun.Everyone could smell the stench from the corpse, and Li Ju must have smelled it too.But he was unmoved, without any hypocritical gesture.

Feng Yiyi's belly was getting bigger and bigger every day, and he couldn't sleep all night. He often had nightmares and dared not turn over. As soon as he turned over, the child fell out of his stomach and fell to his death on the ground.Feng Yiyi woke up from sleep countless times, thirsty and unbearable.

"Awan." Feng Yiyi whispered the name of her personal maid.

"Awan?" The maid didn't respond, Feng Yiyi raised her voice and shouted again.

Still no one answered.

what happened?

When Feng Yiyi opened the curtain, she saw a strange woman sitting on the head of her bed, and she was so frightened that she shrank back into the bed with a loud cry.

"What does the queen want? I'll get it for you."

Feng Yiyi looked back in shock, and after careful examination, he found that this person was no stranger.Although she opened the Huaichen Mansion and moved out not long after she entered the palace, the two of them hadn't met a few times, but they often heard the emperor mention her name.

"Li, Li Yanyi? Why are you here!"

"The queen is so happy that I haven't been able to see the queen for so long. It's really wrong. The queen won't blame me." Li Yanyi stood up and walked to the bed, Feng Yiyi shouted:

"Come on, come on—"

Li Yanyi leaped forward and grabbed Feng Yiyi's throat with one hand, preventing her from uttering a word.Feng Yiyi kicked and beat like crazy, until a cold dagger stuck to her swollen abdomen, Feng Yiyi didn't dare to move at all, as if she had been acupunctured.

Compared with Ah Xin, Li Yanyi's strength is not great, but it is still easy to restrain this delicate pregnant woman.With just a little force on the fingers, Da Yu's future prince will be stillborn.

Feng Yiyi's terrified tears dripped down Li Yanyi's back of his hand along his pretty face, and he huddled into a ball, not even daring to resist, and let out a desperate voice from deep in his throat: "Don't kill... the son of the emperor."

"How could I kill the son of the emperor? He is my nephew." Li Yanyi's smile was scarier than all the nightmares Feng Yiyi had ever had.In desperation, she stared at the red mole between Li Yanyi's eyebrows, like a drop of blood, and also like a keyhole opening the gate of the underworld.

Li Ju had already prepared evidence to prove Hong Ai's innocence, and secretly put it in an inconspicuous place in Hong Ai's study.

This is a forged contract, a contract between Hong Ai and Hu Shang to purchase medicines.When he went to Suichuan for disaster relief in the name of the emperor, the official bank allocated to him was not only used to buy food, but also needed to buy medicines to prevent epidemics.These medicines need to be purchased from Hu merchants, they are expensive and scarce, and Hu merchants don't have so many, so Hong Ai signed a contract with Hu merchants for 3 taels of goods, and they will be delivered in [-] days.These [-] vehicles of cash were left to buy medicine, and they were left in Runing Hong Mansion because of the inconvenient transportation.So what else can Wei Lun Guanxun say?

As long as the contract Hong Ai is found, the suspicion can be cleared.

Li Ju thought, do Li Yanyi and Wei Lun still think that I am a weak emperor who was manipulated at will?I learned a lot from a pit, and now I was forced out by you!

"We found it!" Three or four officials from the Ting Wei Department ran out, holding a pile of bamboo slips and wood chips in their hands.

"What did you find?" Guan Xun asked.

Li Ju looked over casually, and heard the officer say: "We have found evidence of Hong Ai colluding with the enemy and betraying the country!"

Li Ju's smile was still on his face, he didn't seem to understand.

Guan Xun took those letters in his hands and took a look. They were all correspondence with Chongjin, which involved various secrets such as Dayu's military defense and agricultural construction. Some data even Guan Xun had never heard of.

Guan Xun didn't rush to draw conclusions, but handed the letter to Li Ju for the emperor to read it in person.

Li Ju could see from Guan Xun's eyes that he agreed with the officer's words.impossible!Collaborating with the enemy?How can it be!Didn't he already have someone put the deed-free contract into the Hong Mansion?Why did it become collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country!

Li Ju looked through these letters eagerly, and every word and every word pointed to that terrible crime!What made Li Ju almost faint was that Hong Ai was not the only one involved in these letters, he was just a pawn, and what was mentioned more in the letters was an important official of Da Yu, who was the real driving force behind the scenes.

Although this person's name was not directly pointed out, it would be too false to say it, but Li Ju could clearly see that the important minister alluded to was Feng Kun!

Lin Quan and Wei Lun asked as if they didn't know anything: "Your Majesty, is this collusion with the enemy and traitor true?"

Li Ju wished he could take Guan Xun's knife and cut these two hypocritical sluts into several pieces!Just like what they did to Hong Ai's third sister!

But he can't do that.He is the Son of Heaven, he is the Son of Heaven who is high above but can't do anything extraordinary!

Li Ju threw the letter on the ground, Lin Quan picked it up, and checked it with Wei Lun.After reading it, Lin Quan asked Guan Xun: "Dare to ask Guan Tingwei, what crime should be committed for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?"

Guan Xun looked cold and didn't seem to want to answer, Jiang Huang said for him: "During the Hongque period, there was a minister who also colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country and was exiled from the nine tribes. This time Hong Ai may be too, hehehe..."

Li Ju knew that they were not afraid of him, they were all plotting against him, even this little Tingwei Shi dared to tease him.

Perhaps Wei Lun had long thought of the "ingenious plan" that Li Juming had been thinking about for several nights, and used his plan to completely push Feng Kun to the guillotine.Li Ju's eyes were red with anger: In the eyes of you treacherous people, isn't the widow particularly ridiculous!

Li Ju questioned them with his eyes, but his furious eyes were like a drop of water falling into the sea.Lin Quan and Wei Lun were looking at him with a smile and a stern look.This is their most natural appearance, as always, without any fear or pride.

It was as if they had never thought of any other outcome of this confrontation.

"Come here! The empress is about to give birth!" Awan rushed out of the empress' bedroom, yelling.

Feng Yi leaned on the bed and clutched her stomach in pain. Blood flowed from between her legs, staining the whole bed.
