His Majesty once married me

When the imperial army was fighting the fire on Xungui Street, the rioters they captured had been handed over to the three yamen of Jingzhaoyin, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Jindaowei—the cells of a single yamen can’t hold so many people, so they can only be scattered among the three. By the way, the three yamen jointly interrogated the posture to make the results of the interrogation more convincing.

When the fire was under control, the interrogation of these rioters also had preliminary results.

While sending the results of the interrogation to His Majesty the Emperor, Pan Wuchun, the governor of the Golden Sword Guard, also brought a piece of news that is hard to say whether it can be called "good"——

They caught the mastermind of the New Year's Eve riot.

To be exact, someone tied up the mastermind and sent him to the courtyard of the Golden Knife Guard Yamen.

"This person used to call himself the emperor." Pan Wuchun reported cautiously, "I asked Gao Dudu to check it out for himself. At least in terms of appearance, this person is indeed the same as the last emperor Xinghe of the previous dynasty, but...he seems younger. a little bit."

When he heard that this person really looked exactly like Emperor Xinghe, Pan Wuchun's first thought was not the riot last night, but that what the emperor had said was true, but he doubted the emperor, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

But immediately after, Pan Wuchun became depressed again.

The dead former emperors are the best former emperors, and they can be manipulated and smeared by them.

But this person was sent here alive, and was seen by many people!

What made Pan Wuchun even more depressed was that he had never met the former emperor. When he first found out about this person, he thought it was some golden knife guard who was lazy and sent the captured rioters to the yard and ignored him.

When his subordinates found out the identity of this person, they came to report to Pan Wuchun, and Pan Wuchun didn't dare to do anything even if he wanted to do anything.

God knows who sent this person here. Maybe it's a civil righteous who can't understand the atrocities committed last night, maybe it's the real mastermind of this incident, or maybe it's His Majesty the Emperor...

Fortunately, this person didn't speak indiscriminately, and directly said that he wanted to see their emperor.

"If you don't want me to mess around, let him come and see me." The man said to them calmly, with a calm posture, as if he had really been an emperor, "There are some things that are not for you." These people can hear it."

In this case, it is not so much a threat as a warning.

Pan Wuchun also listened to the remonstrance, and immediately brought the results of the interrogation to meet his emperor, and reported the matter of this person.

After finishing speaking, Pan Wuchun unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, regardless of whether this person is the former emperor or not, there is a way to resolve what happened last night - just push it to the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The emperor sitting on it did not make a sound for a long time.

Just when Pan Wuchun began to feel that maybe His Majesty didn't want to see this person at all, but only wanted to see a corpse, a voice finally came from above.

"Bring him to the palace."

"Here!" Pan Wuchun immediately restrained himself and bowed in response.

That night, Qi Yunheng sat on the dragon chair in the Qiankun Palace, not wanting to go to the Summer Palace, nor to return to the Taihua Palace.

At this time, the riots and fires have been completely quelled, but the whole thing is not over yet.

When things got to this point, the entire Xungui Street was burned down, and countless family members of officials and even the officials themselves were killed or injured. It is clear that there is a suitable reason to tell the world that the position under him may not be able to sit securely anymore.

However, although Jin Daowei "captured" a rebellious party who resembled the former emperor, all the rebels refused to admit that they were the remnants of the previous dynasty, and insisted in unison that they were all innocent people who were persecuted by Qin Guogong and other upstarts until their families were ruined. The reason for uniting is to avenge grievances, revenge, tooth for tooth, blood for blood.

In this way, it is difficult to convince the public to only blame the crimes of the previous dynasty. Those real remnants of the previous dynasty will definitely jump out and criticize the high-ranking officials and dignitaries today. The courtiers whose homes were destroyed by these rioters may not feel satisfied.

What worries Qi Yunheng even more is that after the news gets out, other common people will follow suit, rioting at the slightest bit of hatred, and refusing to obey the government's control.

And this is the scariest thing.

If an official refuses to obey the rules, he can be replaced directly. Anyway, there will never be a shortage of people who want to be an official. The only difference is whether they are good or not.

But if the people are disobedient, can he also replace the people?

impossible.

Officials can choose from among the common people, but the common people have no choice but to choose and change.

The one who will be replaced in the end will only be him, the emperor.

And this, perhaps, is what the real mastermind of the New Year's Eve riot wanted to tell him.

Qi Yunheng closed his eyes, feeling increasingly disturbed.

"He understands the nature of power better than you and I, and he knows better what an emperor would be afraid of."

Before he knew it, Qi Yunheng thought of the man he met today.

This person claimed to be the grandfather of Emperor Xinghe, his surname was Zhao Minghe, and he was the second emperor of the previous dynasty, Kang Long.

The reason why he has the same appearance as Xinghe is because he occupied Xinghe's body and revived his soul.

Just like his imperial husband Ouyang.

According to this person, Ouyang was originally called Ouyan, and the real Ouyang is a great-grandfather and great-grandson relationship.

Like Shen Zhenren, the enchantment mage in the palace, Ouyang is also a so-called cultivator, who knows spells and can do things that ordinary people cannot.

This New Year's Eve riot was controlled by Ouyang, and Zhao He was just a pawn released by Ouyang.

Now that the horse had jumped out, Zhao He, a pawn, was useless, so he was thrown out by Ouyang's men and given to Qi Yunheng to take the blame.

"I was caught by the housekeeper next to him. I thought I would be silenced, but I didn't." Zhao He said to him very frankly, "Obviously, either his subordinates don't want him to linger in the secular world anymore, Force him to leave; or he himself doesn't want to stay any longer, so let me have a showdown with you."

Zhao He seemed to know that he could no longer live a good life, no matter what Qi Yunheng asked, he would tell the truth.

But Qi Yunheng could tell that there was a trap hidden in every word of this man, which lured him to doubt Ouyang, and made him suspicious and even resentful towards his imperial husband.

Yes, how could he not doubt, how could he not resent?

They slept in the same bed every night, but he didn't even know who the person next to the pillow was or why.

What made him even more depressed was that if Ouyang was dissatisfied, why wouldn't he tell him bluntly, insisting on creating such a shocking chaos that could shake the foundation of the country!

Does Ouyang want to destroy his country, destroy him?

Such thoughts lingered in Qi Yunheng's mind, making him wish he could rush to the Summer Palace, grab Ouyang and ask him loudly.

But there is always a time when anger subsides, not to mention that besides anger, Qi Yunheng also has fear.

He fears.

He was afraid that Ouyang would leave him.

Perhaps this is not an idea you Daoming should have.

But deep down in his heart, Qi Yunheng felt that if he could calm Ouyang's dissatisfaction with a little life and let Ouyang stay by his side, then he really wouldn't mind killing some more courtiers, even Gao Ming and Pan Wuchun, whom he relied on. .

Unfortunately, he may have missed the opportunity to do so.

Now, even if he wants to sacrifice the lives of these people again, his imperial husband may not care.

After calming down, Qi Yunheng felt that this Zhao He didn't know his imperial husband very well, at least not as well as he showed.

For example, this riot on New Year's Eve.

Zhao He felt that Ouyang wanted to use this matter to threaten him, the emperor, and even shake the foundation of Huaguo, but Qi Yunheng felt that his imperial husband would disdain to do that kind of coercion, and the riot last night might be a warning meaning, but at its root, it must still lie in killing——

For example, Qin State Duke's Mansion.

His imperial husband has long disliked the Duke of Qin's mansion.

With the narrow-minded and vengeful temperament of his royal husband, and the ability described by Zhao He, if he hadn't repeatedly emphasized the importance of Qin Guogong, perhaps as early as three years ago, Qin Guogong's mansion would have been removed from the capital. Disappeared.

However, the people in Duke Qin's mansion got angry with the evil star, but they didn't know it, and finally caused another incident in the northwest, which made his royal husband unbearable.

Then, the riot suddenly broke out, the Duke Qin's mansion no longer existed, and his confidant's serious troubles also disappeared.

Thinking about it this way, Qi Yunheng suddenly discovered that the riot last night seemed to have caused him trouble, but in fact it relieved him of his confidant's troubles, opened up the abscess, and squeezed out the pus. Doctors and patients generally do a good job in dealing with the aftermath, but on the contrary, they avoid the big troubles that would have occurred in the future.

However, after thinking about it this way, Qi Yunheng still found it difficult to be calm.

Even if it's for him, since it's for him, why can't you tell him frankly and openly like he did to Ouyang?

Perhaps, as Zhao He said, Ouyang is arrogant because of his favor, and he won't do anything to himself if he is determined, so he acts recklessly, doing whatever he wants?

The more Qi Yunheng thought about it, the harder it was to let go.

At this moment, Eunuch Wei walked over quietly and asked if he needed to prepare supper for the attendants.

Affected by the riots on New Year's Eve, the six yamen that had been sealed off for vacation all opened their doors ahead of time to take their seals, and all officials also entered the yamen on duty as usual, including the attendant room in the Qiankun Palace.

Moreover, the attendant's room is not just opening the door for a show like other yamen, they really have something to do.

The confessions obtained from Jing Zhaoyin, the Ministry of Justice, and Jindaowei must be reorganized by them, and the common points, deviations, and content that need extra attention in the confessions will be found out, and they will be reviewed by His Majesty the Emperor.

This work has not been finished yet, Eunuch Wei came to ask about the supper, just to remind Qi Yunheng: it's getting late, if you keep them busy all night, you should prepare them for supper and a place to rest.

attendant...

Qi Yunheng's heart moved and he remembered two names.

Wang Ni, Ou Kui.

After pondering for a while, Qi Yunheng gave orders to Eunuch Wei: "Order the servants of King Ni to stay. Others go home, and those who go back to the palace go back to the palace. Tomorrow, we will continue to work in the Qiankun Palace."

"...here."

Eunuch Wei was startled, and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor out of the corner of his eye, but he finally didn't dare to speak out at this moment.

But before Eunuch Wei bowed and retreated, Qi Yunheng added: "Preach this matter."

Eunuch Wei didn't know what Qi Yunheng heard from Zhao Hekou, and naturally he couldn't think of what Qi Yunheng did this for. The first time he heard this order, he felt more and more confused.

But although Eunuch Wei couldn't figure out what His Majesty's thoughts were, there was one thing that was clear.

His Majesty the Emperor is in a bad mood!

Talking too much at this time will get you in trouble!

Eunuch Wei hurriedly bowed to accept the order, and left the hall without asking any questions.

Qi Yunheng didn't really want to make fun of Wang Ni.

He just felt that if he didn't do something to annoy his imperial husband, he would not be able to balance, calm down, and calmly and rationally settle the matter between himself and Ouyang.

However, after the order was issued, Qi Yunheng became inexplicably uneasy.

Would his imperial husband really be annoyed by him recruiting others?

Or, could it be that the fire got too hot, and in a fit of anger, he walked away without even saying hello?

The more Qi Yunheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.

Just when Eunuch Wei came back to reply, Qi Yunheng immediately stood up and ordered: "Send him to Taihua Palace!"

--Uh!

——What are you fussing about today!

The corner of Wei Eunuch's mouth twitched suddenly, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

But no matter how much he slandered, Eunuch Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "The servant of the king..."

"Just let him stay in Qiankun Palace."

Qi Yunheng waved his hands casually, and then started to walk out of the hall in three steps at a time.

A group of palace people hurried to catch up, and Eunuch Wei had no choice but to chase, while ordering his little eunuch to arrange supper and a place for Wang Ni to spend the night, as well as to monitor him and prevent him from running around in the Qiankun Palace. Palace people.
