The rain gradually increased in spring, and there were several continuous high mountains on the outskirts of the capital. When there was more rain, landslides occurred from time to time.Because of the proximity to the capital, the governor of Jingzhao has been paying special attention to it, and no large number of casualties have occurred.
It was just accompanied by landslides, besides mud, rocks, trees and beasts, occasionally some unexplainable things appeared, such as this time, when excavating mud and rocks, a stone sculpture with a bird head and a human body was found again, except for the one in the palace. Except for the upper circle, the other appearance and materials are exactly the same, including the four lines of small characters above.
The young emperor was very furious. He had been cursing about this matter in the early court, but he never mentioned why there was a crucial person missing in the court.
A few civil servants just wanted to come out, but they were scolded by Dongfang Haoyang. After a few times, no one dared to come out, but they all focused on Feng Suzhen and Liu Tao who were at the front.Although the two of them do not have the right to participate in politics, only if they speak can the emperor not take his anger out on them.
If Feng Suzhen was still Feng Shaomin, she would definitely have asked about it in the first court.It's just that the emperor is very clear about her identity, now let her stand in the Golden Palace, but if she is used to stabilize the situation, how can he really listen to her words?Feng Suzhen felt powerless, so she held her breath and waited for the opportunity to ask the emperor again.
Although Feng Suzhen didn't wait for the right time to speak, the elderly Liu Tao didn't have as much patience as her, and walked out calmly when the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Prime Minister Zhang was imprisoned by the Emperor yesterday. Is there such a thing?"
Dongfang Haoyang took a sip of water to moisten his throat, seeing Liu Tao's words, all civil and military officials below raised their heads to look at him, and then sneered: "Yes, I ordered someone to imprison him yesterday. Yes. Now that you all know, you must also know why I did this, so what is there to ask?"
"The veteran just thinks that Prime Minister Zhang has no reason to send someone to assassinate Ming Guanghou. Is there any misunderstanding about this matter?"
"According to Master Liu, it means that I wronged Zhang Shaomin?"
"The old minister dare not, but just thinks it doesn't make sense."
Dongfang Haoyang pointed at Feng Suzhen and asked her: "Feng Shaomin, what do you think? Do you also think it can't be Zhang Shaomin?"
When the time came, Feng Suzhen hurriedly came out and spoke sincerely: "Don't dare to lie to the emperor. After my minister learned about this last night, he and the princess went to see Prime Minister Zhang. The assassins committed suicide in fear of crime. This minister thought, The crimes of a country’s prime minister cannot be judged solely based on the words of these few people.”
"Oh? So you don't believe it either." Dongfang Haoyang said a little frivolously.
Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who had been scolded all morning, seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. Yesterday, the Emperor wisely and decisively sent General Yue Xiu to arrest the prime minister. The prime minister had no time to make any preparations to be taken away." .If now the emperor sends someone to the prime minister's mansion to collect evidence, then there is a great possibility that the case will be settled."
"This way..."
"Your majesty, absolutely not!" Feng Suzhen didn't care about the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers. If the emperor found out that Zhang Shaomin married Meizhu, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Why?" Dongfang Haoyang wondered, having never seen such an anxious expression on Feng Suzhen's face.
"Your Majesty, as the prime minister of Dacheng Kingdom, Zhang Shaomin is the head of all officials. Not to mention whether the assassination case is related to him, and you can't send someone to directly raid the prime minister's house. Isn't this a slap in the face for him? This trip , will also chill the hearts of the officials."
"Feng Shaomin, I'm shutting down the person who wants to assassinate you, and what I want to steal is the home of the person who assassinated you. You don't actively cooperate, but obstruct in every possible way. Why?"
"I was an official in the same dynasty as Zhang Shaomin. I dare not say that I understand them very well, but I dare say that Zhang Shaomin is an upright person and will not do unjust acts. Before the matter is clear, I am still willing to believe that Zhang Shaomin is not the assassin. .”
"Can't you believe the words of the few people you caught?"
"They are dead, and there is no proof of death."
Dongfang Haoyang looked at Feng Suzhen, laughed a few times, and asked Liu Tao: "Grand Master Liu, what do you think?"
"The old minister agrees with what Ming Guanghou said."
Nodding his head, Dongfang Haoyang said: "Since you all think so, well, let's lock up Zhang Shaomin until the evidence is convincing. It's just that a country can't live without a king, and the government can't live without a prime minister. Grand Master Liu, You have been the prime minister for a long time, so let you temporarily act as the prime minister."
"The minister accepts the decree." Liu Tao accepted the decree without changing his expression, without joy or worry, as if the decree was as casual as just eating a bowl of rice.
"Your Majesty, the case of Zhang Shaomin..." Feng Suzhen put aside Liu Tao's matter first, she must rescue Zhang Shaomin first.
"Let's let Yue Xiu continue to investigate. Also, the stone sculpture dug out in the suburbs of Beijing, Yue Xiu, you have someone put it in the Imperial Garden for me, and put it together with the first one. I want to see it, and I want it Come out a few, can you fill my imperial garden!"
"Your Majesty," an adult walked out of the court slowly and hesitantly, and knelt down tremblingly. Someone recognized him as the newly appointed envoy and only heard him say, "Yesterday, I received a memorial from Suzhou, saying , say, say..."
"What did you say? You said it!" Dongfang Haoyang said anxiously.
"Say, say, when they were digging a hundred-year-old tree, they also dug out a stone sculpture with a bird's head and a human body from under the tree root." Sweating profusely, as if under water.
"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha..." Dongfang Haoyang laughed endlessly, stopped laughing after a long time, and said angrily, "From today onwards, all stone carvings with bird heads and human bodies will be sent to the palace! I see See how much stone they can carve!"
The young emperor didn't care about government affairs, so he tossed his sleeves and stepped down.
Liu Tao regained the position of prime minister, and all the officials surrounded him when he left the gate of the palace. Feng Suzhen hurriedly gave up his position, just in time to see Tianxiang waiting outside the palace, so she went up to meet him.
As usual, Feng Suzhen told Tianxiang about the court affairs, Tianxiang was much more mature and serious, and occasionally gave Feng Suzhen some advice, and the two could talk all the way back home, making everyone have to sigh the deep love of the concubine princess.
As soon as they left the palace, Feng Suzhen and the two were stopped by one person.
"Zhang Xin, oh, now I have to call you Mrs. Liu. Your family Liu Changying is not in the capital, why are you looking for my son-in-law?" Afraid that Feng Suzhen would not recognize the woman in front of her, Tianxiang explained first.
"Princess, son-in-law, can we take a moment to talk?" Zhang Xin is now dressed in a fine attire, and she speaks and behaves politely. No worries about food and clothing, happy life.
Feng Suzhen really didn't have much impression of Zhang Xin, but when she saw her looking at her with burning eyes, she thought the connection was deep, and seeing Tianxiang nodded, she said, "How about going to the house to tell the story?"
But Zhang Xin seemed to be afraid of something, she glanced at the palace gate and said, "No, if you two trust me, follow me to a place."
Tianxiang looked at Feng Suzhen and said: "It's okay, let Yue Su go back to the house first, we are here."
Knowing that Tianxiang was referring to Yijian Piaohong in the dark, Feng Suzhen didn't refuse too much at first, and agreed to let Yue Su go back to the house to report that she was safe.
The place Zhang Xin took them to was not far away. It was at a corner outside the palace wall, with the back of the mountain. Even if someone wanted to eavesdrop, they couldn't hide their figure.
"My son-in-law, do you still remember that you asked me to communicate with Dongfang Hou?" Zhang Xin looked around and said to Feng Suzhen straight to the point.
Knowing about this, Tianxiang responded first: "I remember, what's wrong? Is Uncle Thirteen restless again?"
"No, I don't know how to say it. I brought all the letters, and I asked the princess and son-in-law to have a look." Zhang Xin took out a stack of letters from her bosom and handed them to Feng Suzhen.
Feng Suzhen took it in doubt, gave half of it to Tianxiang, and the two opened it and read it at the same time.
Each letter contained only a few words. After all, Zhang Xin and Dongfang Hou didn't have a deep friendship, and it was just a relationship of mutual use at the beginning. They communicated once every few months, and it was just a greeting.It's just that the newer the date, the weirder the content of the letter, and the more scribbled the handwriting, as if the writer was writing it with fear and anxiety.
"Did you receive this letter in the past two days?" Feng Suzhen asked while pinching the letter paper.
"Yes, it was because I received this letter that I couldn't lie to myself, so I hurried to find my son-in-law." Zhang Xin didn't have any feelings for Dongfanghou, and it was because Feng Suzhen told her that she noticed something strange.
Feng Suzhen looked at the letter in her hand again, and there was a poem on it: My young man did not know the heights of the blue sky, and life is as precious as virtue and Qu Yaoshang.Difficult to drive the old addictions in the thatched cottage, the summer cicada has not seen the cold for a long time.
"'My life will last'?" Tianxiang was taken aback.
After shaking the letter, Feng Suzhen didn't know the inside story, so she didn't dare to make a judgment, and said to Zhang Xin: "Mrs. Liu, this matter is very important. I need to go back and sort it out. Can you give me a few days?"
Zhang Xin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I forgot that the son-in-law lost some memories of the past. I didn't think carefully. There is no need for the son-in-law to reply to me. I just follow your instructions."
Even Zhang Xin knew about Feng Suzhen's amnesia, so Tianxiang didn't bother to pretend, folded all the letter papers, and said to her: "Zhang Xin, you are a promise, and it was worthwhile for the son-in-law to do his best to match you and Liu Changying. I thank you on behalf of the son-in-law. is you."
Zhang Xin smiled and said, "This is just a trivial matter. If there were no consorts and princesses back then, how could Zhang Xin have a happy life now? The princesses and consorts will always be Zhang Xin's benefactors."
"Heh, I don't know that the kindness between me and the princess is not enough to exchange Madam Liu's truth." Feng Suzhen looked at Zhang Xin with a warm smile on her face.
Zhang Xin was a little nervous for a moment, and asked uncomfortably: "What does the son-in-law want to ask? Zhang Xin will definitely tell the son-in-law the truth."
"Master Liu, your father-in-law, did you want to return to the position of prime minister?" Feng Suzhen asked directly without beating around the bush.
"This……"
"Mrs. Liu, you are clear about my relationship with Brother Changying, and I believe that Brother Changying has nothing to do with anything Taishi Liu has done, but if you continue to help Taishi Liu hide it, then Brother Changying will definitely If you are dragged into the water, it will be too late for you to repent."
Zhang Xin's eyes began to flicker, she struggled for a while, her eyes were fixed, and she said to Feng Suzhen: "My son-in-law, I don't really know what my father-in-law is doing, but I overheard something when I passed by the study one time. My father-in-law said, The emperor is incompetent and obsessed with wooden birds, if the world continues to be controlled by him, the country will not be far from subjugation."
"Little old man Liu Tao really dares to say that?" Tianxiang immediately became angry when she heard this, wishing she could tie up Liu Tao and throw her into a prison right now.
Seeing Tianxiang's appearance, Zhang Xin's complexion immediately became distorted.
Reaching out her hand to appease the furious Tianxiang, Feng Suzhen continued to ask Zhang Xin: "Who were there in the study that day?"
"I usually don't go to my father-in-law's courtyard. I went that day to deliver medicinal food, and I heard such outrageous words, so I quickly left with the medicinal food, so I don't know who was in the father-in-law's study that day."
"I'm sure there is Li Zhaoting's crow's mouth!" Tianxiang said suddenly.
Feng Suzhen glanced at Tianxiang, said nothing to Zhang Xin, "Where did brother Changying go that day?"
"Chang Ying is the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He has a lot of case files every day, and basically works in the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
Feng Suzhen blinked at Tianxiang, and said, "Princess, Master Liu is Sima Zhao's heart."
It was just accompanied by landslides, besides mud, rocks, trees and beasts, occasionally some unexplainable things appeared, such as this time, when excavating mud and rocks, a stone sculpture with a bird head and a human body was found again, except for the one in the palace. Except for the upper circle, the other appearance and materials are exactly the same, including the four lines of small characters above.
