The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

"After arresting Heng Jun, the ministers used both soft and hard tactics, trying to propose conditions to lure him..."

"Has Heng Jun confessed?" The emperor was about to praise Jia She's skillful means, when Jia She shook his head to indicate that Heng Jun had not confessed.

"Hengjun is a rock, and he didn't say a word. But during the interrogation, Mr. Jia found that his entourage, Bi Bai, was moved and frightened. Later, Mr. Jia interrogated him alone and made a deal with him to help He cheated his death so that he could live incognito and live in the world as a condition, in exchange for the truth of the whole thing." After Song Xi took the lead in explaining, he quickly saluted and apologized to the emperor, and made specific details about his father's adoption of Song Yun back then. explanation of.

"Jia Aiqing has already told me about what you said. Xu Yi was indeed suspected of being wronged back then. Your father also swore to die to protect him. But he didn't expect to raise the wrong person and leave such a big trouble behind. When I couldn't figure it out before, I really blamed him. Later, Jia Aiqing told me that the planning of Wolong Village was not done in a day or two, and things like this, even if they don't happen today, will definitely happen in the future. No matter what You can't escape, not to mention that now you have made great contributions to calming the chaos, and your father has passed away. It is an old thing, and you have been loyal to Dazhou and me, so it can be regarded as the Song family's merits and demerits."

The emperor sighed meaningfully, and then looked at Jia She.In fact, the emperor has always retained his trust in Song Xi, and the emperor was naturally annoyed when the old prime minister deceived the emperor.However, he still counted on the protection of the Song family for the future of the fifteen princes and the country after the Great Zhou Dynasty. The emperor felt that he had no other choice.

Jia She then went on to explain what happened: "This fake prince is from Wolong Village, that is, a descendant of Zhang Yao. Zhang's surname is the most common surname in their village, and he has a high status. He can be regarded as the master of other surnames who respectfully serve him. And Wolong The rest of the surnames in the village have been carefully checked by the officials. They are all descendants of the subordinates and followers who lived in seclusion with Zhang Yao back then. There is also a surname named Zhao, which is the first surname of a hundred families. The number of people with the surname in Wolong Village is the largest. It was changed by the refugees and orphans adopted by Zhang Yao and his subordinates after they established Wolong Village. Over the years, there have been new additions. There is a rule that the new additions with the surname Zhao must be children under the age of seven without parents. They will conspire and make contributions in the future.”

"This kind of planning and calculation is really..." The emperor was a little excited for a while, his face was red, and he suddenly coughed violently, "I really didn't expect that it would be Zhang Yao. Thanks to Jia Aiqing, I can see the details, which is my luck." , the good fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the good fortune of our people in the world."

Regarding the old stories of the founding emperor, the emperor once heard gossip from the palace people when he was a child. He didn't know if it was true or not, but he was also curious about why Zhang Yao, who had agreed with their ancestors to enjoy the world side by side, was initially set in the world. Just when he was about to enjoy the glory, he suddenly disappeared.I didn't understand it when I was young, but when I grew up, after I became the emperor myself, I understood a little bit. After all, there is no place for two tigers on one mountain. Even if that emperor, it is impossible to divide half of his dragon chair and give another person to sit on it, even if this People used to live and die with him, and they were good brothers who died, even if he loved him as much as life.But liking is fresh and will eventually pass, but power is not, it will make people want to stop and get deeper and deeper.

In the matter of the ancestors, it is impossible to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.But now his descendants, for their own self-interest, plotted and plotted in such a way, implicated human lives, and caused the Great Zhou Dynasty to fall into turmoil, which is an absolutely unforgivable crime!

"After the prince was trapped at the border and had an accident, the body was not found at that time..."

When Jia She said this, the emperor's eyes suddenly froze, staring at Jia She fiercely.

Jia Amnesty looked at the emperor, and stated in as soft a tone as possible, hoping that the next statement would hurt the emperor a little less.But he knew clearly in his heart that this was a useless move.

"At that time, the prince did not die, but was seriously injured by the random arrows of the enemy's chasing soldiers, and passed out. After the war, there were a group of barbarians who were doing a dangerous business that could lose their lives at any time. Specialized in picking up things, picking up knives and guns, and dragging dead horses on the battlefield after the war. It was at that time that the prince was pulled out of the pile of dead people and brought back for treatment. These people were not so kind. The reason why they brought the prince When they go back, they also know that the armor on the crown prince is of the rank of a general, and they think that this man must be valuable and can be used for negotiation and exchange for money."

"Then what happened afterwards? Why didn't I hear anyone wanting to negotiate with me? As long as the prince can be returned to me, I can give him as much money as I want." The emperor couldn't wait to ask.

"Later, these barbarians were trying to treat the prince, and at the same time they were planning how to benefit from Da Zhou. But in the end, they had a disagreement because they knew that the man they saved was the prince of Da Zhou, and they were not easy to mess with. With such a small number of them, if they negotiate with Da Zhou casually, they will get a huge amount of wealth. They must be seeking skins from tigers. They have their lives to make money but not their lives to spend. Then someone stood up and said that he knew a small official of the Zhenyan tribe, You can tell the Zhenyan tribe this news, and they will trade the crown prince with the Zhenyan people to avoid this worry. This matter immediately got the consent of everyone."

When the emperor heard this, his eyes almost popped out, and he was lying on the bed, his hands were only clenched into fists, and he assumed a posture of preparing for battle.He hates, hates those villains who are greedy for money, to use his son to do such a deed, and hates himself even more for not being able to save the prince when he was in danger, and let him fall into the real face without knowing it. hands.

Jia Amnesty: "After that, the news naturally reached Heng Jun's ears. Heng Jun bought the prince and devoted all his energy to treating his illness. He even did not hesitate to save the prince's life by saving the prince's life. All the most precious herbs have been used up. It took them a year to heal the prince's injury, but the prince's heart was in Dazhou, and he refused to cooperate with the Zhenyan clan. And he knew very well that Zhenyan People used him as a threat to make a deal with Da Zhou, embarrassing the emperor, and committed suicide several times, but they were all discovered by the guards in time. After that, Heng Jun found that the prince was very difficult to control, and was a little annoyed, so he asked for help from his most trusted Master Jiang Zhonghu."

The emperor trembled when he heard this, he understood that he didn't have to give any hope at this moment, his son was deeply trapped in the murderous Zhenyan tribe, and these people were staring at him as a piece of fat that must be eaten.His son should have died, long ago.

Jia Amnesty then stated that Jiang Zhonghu's advice for Heng Jun was the original plan for the current fake prince case.This is a road that Heng Jun never expected. Heng Jun was very happy, so he followed the plan.Following Jiang Zhonghu's suggestion, he used drugs to overpower Heng Jun's will, making him addicted to drugs and turning him into an obedient puppy.Every time his drug addiction breaks out, they will force the prince to state a few things about him, all about his thoughts, past memories, and the most intimate things, after a year of torture, almost all It was excavated and explained.

In the end, the prince couldn't bear such torture, and finally, when he was negligent in defense, he grabbed his sword and committed suicide.After that, they cultivated a fake prince, which is the current one in office. The fake prince is one in a million. He looks very similar to the real prince, except for the mole on one side of his face, which is different from the prince. Can cut a knife there and cover it with a scar.Fortunately, the real prince disappeared on the battlefield, so no one would question the fake prince with some scars on his face.In addition, within two or three years, they used all the habits and memories of the great Zhou prince to educate and train the false prince, so that the false prince hardly remembered his origin, and only knew that his name was Muriliao.

"Since the death of the real prince, after more than three years of planning, it is time for them to plan for the country, and what we have seen later. I have to say that their long-term planning is indeed very effective, at least When the false crown prince first appeared, he really confused the real one with the fake one, not to mention the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he almost deceived all the close relatives of the real prince, including you, the sage, the empress, and the empress dowager."

The emperor kept nodding his head, sighing, and hating him even more.After listening to the whole story, his face could no longer hold back the tears, and his hands were trembling extremely.He raised his hand in the direction of Jia She and Song Xi, and opened his mouth.Just when the eyes of the two fell on the old emperor's hand, that pale hand suddenly dropped.Then, I heard the eunuch waiting in front of the bed calling softly: "Saint, saint, saint."

Jia Amnesty and Song Xi immediately saw the old emperor lying on the couch with his head tilted, his eyes closed, and the tears on his face were still wet.Since then, I can no longer open my eyes.

As soon as the national death bell rang, something happened in the Hall of Harmony, and the maids came and went, alarming all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. When the queen mother and the emperor heard the news, they also came in person, and they were waiting next door.The Empress Dowager wept unceasingly. What happened in just a few days really made her see through the misery in the world, and she had the idea of ​​not wanting to live and suffer.I thought that the return of the prince was a return of lost relatives, but it turned out to be a conspiracy to cause trouble.If it's just treason, it's not only cheating the power and position, but also hurting people's feelings.It angered the emperor to death, and made her daughter-in-law's mood fluctuate, so that she gave birth prematurely, and her life was dying.

"These shameless youngsters really deserve to be skinned and boned. It is not a pity to die thousands of times. They are really sinful."

Now the Empress Dowager only hoped that the Empress would give birth smoothly and that her health would be fine, so it would be better not to leave her and the Supreme Emperor alone in the palace.

The fifteenth prince immediately rushed to the Hall of Spring Harmony. He had just received the news of his father's departure, and before he had time to wear mourning clothes, he heard that his mother's empress had given birth prematurely and was suffering from dystocia. Outside the Hall of Spring Harmony, I just looked at the entrance of the hall and watched the maids come in and out.The empress dowager's people advised him to go to the side hall to rest first, but he didn't go, he still stood there, his eyes stagnant, staring at it, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Seeing him like this, the queen mother knew that he felt uncomfortable, so she raised her hand to signal the palace servants not to disturb him, just let him go.

Menglan Palace.

Although the battle here was won, the old emperor died in the end, and the culprits, Song Yun and Murui Liaoshang, were still on the run and failed to be apprehended.Naturally, Jia Amnesty and Song Xi couldn't let him go. The two arranged their subordinates to deal with the saint's death. After sending the news to the capital, they looked at the map to study how to capture Muriliao and Song Yun who were at large.

Song Xi: "What do you think they will do?"

"Falling short of success and ruined reputation, he naturally hopes to escape to the safest place that he thought everyone didn't know." Jia She said.

Song Xi raised the corners of his mouth sarcastically, "The secret house."

The secret house was the place where Jia Yucun was sent for training, and it was also the residence where Song Yun had been hiding in the capital, allowing him to control the situation in the capital for this year.

After Jia Amnesty found out in detail that Song Yun had entered Beijing from Guangdong and Guangxi as early as last spring, he asked Heizhu to use the news network, thinking that his residence must be hidden, maybe not in Beijing.Jia Amnesty asked the black pig to mobilize as many informants as possible for the development of various villages and counties, and asked them to find out from the mouths of neighbors, villagers and others, whether there were any valuable clues.After spending seven days, Fang Zhenglu and the others finally confirmed a statement from many useless miscellaneous news. It was a house hidden deep in the barren hills to the west.

The mountains west of Beijing are collectively called barren mountains. From a distance, these mountains are actually very dense and green. The reason why they are called barren mountains is because the soil in this area is a bit special. The trees on the mountains are twisted and crooked. And there are many thorns, and it is easy to grow some wild vegetables, but they are extremely bitter and unpalatable. There are no pheasants and hares in the mountains, and even ants are hard to find.Therefore, this place got the title of "barren mountains".

Wolong Village has been exposed, and it is impossible for Song Yun to go back to Guangdong and Guangxi.What's more, he is penniless, and it is difficult for him to wander even if he goes out. Now he must want to return to his only shelter, either to live in it, or to withdraw money and leave.In short, it was the only possible place for him at the moment.

Besides, after Song Yun and Muriliao were defeated in the middle of the night, they escaped through the forest under the escort of several personal guards around them.Muruiliao was not reconciled, he was angry from the bottom of his heart, and walked slowly, procrastinating and unwilling to walk too fast, and asked Song Yun several times if he really had no chance to see the old emperor.

"Uncle, as long as you find a way for me to see him, I can make him remember the past and arouse his guilt. I will definitely clear up the misunderstanding and let him understand that I am really his son!" Rui Liao said excitedly and eagerly.

Song Yun glanced sideways at Muriliao, "It's time to wake up from the dream."

Muriliao was stunned for a moment, frowning, his face turning purple.

Song Yun ignored him again, turned around and continued to walk through the mountains and forests, his clothes had been scratched in several places, and he looked very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Mu Ruiliao couldn't leave in anger, and shouted at Song Yun: "If you really leave like this, will you be willing? This is our last chance. Believe me, as long as I see my father, I will definitely lobby He believes in me. Don't you believe in your own abilities, uncle? You raised me up to what I am today, don't you believe in yourself?"

The guard next to Song Yun pressed the knife on his waist and took a deep look at Song Yun.

Song Yunchong shook his head slightly.He turned to Muriliao with a gentle smile: "This statement is true. I should believe in your ability, and it's time for you to prove your ability. I'm just waiting for news. Do you dare to go back by yourself?"

Muriliao hesitated.

"If you don't even have the guts, tell me you can persuade the emperor, huh?"

"Of course I dare! Uncle, you are waiting here. After the emperor and I explain the situation, let him send someone to pick you up." Muriliao bowed deeply to Song Yun, then turned around and ran back the same way. Quick, the figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"My lord, this—"

Song Yun raised his hand, signaling to the guards beside him not to say much, "He doesn't know where the secret house is. He thought it was fake, and he was too crazy to keep him."

Song Yun's personal guard nodded "yes", and then took a knife to open the way ahead, splitting the thorns on the road.

"Don't move. From here on, everyone should try not to break the branches. When walking, pick the ground with rocks or hard places to step on. Once there are footprints, the last two will be responsible for covering them up." Song Yun instructed.

The entourage promised to follow Song Yun's instructions, proceed carefully and hide their tracks.

It is difficult for ordinary people to tell the direction in the dense forest, but Song Yun is well versed in this way. When he can't tell the direction, he finds a gap in the sun, sticks a stick on the ground, and distinguishes the exact direction according to the shadow formed by the stick. direction, in order to take a shortcut and escape to the barren mountains as soon as possible.

As for Muriliao, after parting with Song Yun, he ran recklessly, and after running for a short time, he realized that he was lost and couldn't find his way forward.While hesitating, he suddenly heard footsteps in the woods, and hurriedly hid in the bushes in a panic.

The soldiers who searched the mountain quickly found the footprints on the ground and the branches, and followed the traces to the area where Muriliao was hiding, and soon found Muriliao in the bushes.

From the moment he was discovered, Muriliao began to declare his identity, telling them that the content written in the "Special Edition of Great Zhou Chaowen" was all deceitful.The emperor misunderstood him, but the royal blood in his bones cannot be changed. He must face the facts and resolve the misunderstanding.

The soldiers in Soushan burst out laughing when they heard Muriliao's words.They went up and tied Muriliao's arms tightly, laughing that he still dreamed of being a prince after he got to this point.

"It's just like what was said in that court. This fake prince is a substitute who has been tamed for several years. He even forgot who he is. Otherwise, how dare he make such a big deal that people in the world think Nothing to think about!"

"Live a good life, but if we soldiers are going to kill you, you should be hacked into pieces." After the soldier said, he kicked Muriliao's ass, "What are you pretending to do!"

Muriliao staggered to the ground and fell to the ground.

The soldiers immediately grabbed Muriliao and pushed him to go faster.Muriliao also yelled words like "bold", "presumptuous", "I just had a misunderstanding with my father, let's see how I deal with you in the future".The soldiers couldn't bear him the most. Two of them took off their shoes and simply messed up their socks, which made Muriliao's mouth.These soldiers ran up and down the mountain, at least they hadn't washed their feet for three days, and the smell can be imagined.

Murui Liao has fully integrated into the role, and has been pampered to maintain a noble life. After being gagged like this, he instinctively retched and wanted to vomit, but because his mouth was tightly blocked, he had to force himself to swallow the thing again. The sour smell in his mouth made him burst into tears unconsciously.So it was a good meal to be laughed at by the soldiers...

Song Yun and others traveled west all the way, and finally left the mountain at noon, and the surroundings became more and more quiet. It can be seen that after the pursuers got Muriliao, they were already slack, and it was difficult to track them down.

Song Yun and others sat under the bushes to take a rest, seeing the people around them lose their momentum, Song Yun encouraged them with words.

"Our ancestors taught us that planning for a country is not achieved overnight. Every failure is a preparation for success. If this one fails, there will be a next time. Even if they fail, their descendants will be endless .In short, as long as we rely on the perseverance of Yugong Yishan, we will surely remove the mountain of Dazhou one day and replace it with our people."

As soon as these words came out, the ten guards who followed him all ignited their confidence and nodded in agreement.

Song Yun immediately sent the two of them to take off their war robes, dirty their faces and mess up their hair, and pretended to be beggars to go to a nearby village to ask for money, and took the opportunity to steal some old clothes from the common people.

Not long after, two personal guards who were replaced by ordinary people drove a donkey cart over.

Song Yun and others dressed up in disguise, got into the donkey cart, and made a detour to the direction of the barren mountains.On the way, I saw two groups of soldiers setting up roadblocks to search. Fortunately, these people were stupid, so they let them go as long as they were ordinary people.

After Jia Amnesty saw Murui Liao, who was brought back by the guards, he asked Song Yun how he was, and when he found out that he hadn't been found in the mountains, he asked people to search around the mountains and forests, and ordered people to guard all the main roads.Although Jia Amnesty expected that Song Yun might go in the direction of the barren mountains, there are always accidents. What if he didn't go there, but escaped from somewhere else?So still have to be fully prepared.Barren hills block people to guarantee the bottom line, but if they can be stopped halfway, it would be best to catch people.

An hour later, Liu Zhizhong and others, who were dormant on the ultimate main road to the barren mountains, recognized Song Yun in disguise, and immediately raided and arrested him and took him to the capital.

The sudden arrest made Song Yun feel dazed. It wasn't until someone tied up his husband and put a shackle around his neck that he realized that he had really become a prisoner.

Liu Zhizhong looked at the noble governor of Song Dynasty who he only dared to admire from a distance, sneered twice, and couldn't help feeling: "It's really unpredictable, the world is unpredictable, fortunately——"

"The way of heaven is reincarnation!" Liu Zhizhong moved to Song Yun with his hands behind his back, and shouted loudly.

Song Yun was so shocked that he turned his head away, expressionless.

Liu Zhizhong sneered, never thought that Song Yun could pretend like this after being arrested, let's see how long he can calm down.

"You, go to Beijing on horseback to report, and ask someone to quickly get a prison cart from the Yamen to sit for Governor Song. He is delicate and expensive, so don't make him tired from walking."

Everyone knows that if Song Yun enters the city in a prison car at this moment, the scene can be imagined.The yamen servants all understood Master Liu's meaning and laughed, and let's do it now.

Liu Zhizhong also smiled, squinted at Song Yun, and finally saw the color of fear on his face.However, whether the big man was a big man, he was still calmer than the average prisoner, and he didn't ask for mercy.But Song Yun's personal guard was very unconvinced when he saw this, and took away the knife from the servant who was about to lock him. He slid the knife behind his wrist and cut the rope open. With a fierce struggle with both hands, he opened it, and then grabbed the knife and stabbed the servant beside him to death.Seeing this, the rest of the guards also made trouble, trying to spread the ropes and fight with the servants.

Ten pairs of 2000 people, no matter how powerful these Song Yun's personal guards are, they will definitely not be able to defeat them.In less than half a cup of tea, these people were all killed by the government officials and soldiers.Before dying, a guard raised his hand in the direction of Song Yun, wanting to save him.In the end, he grunted a few times, his five sense organs were twisted together in pain, he struggled and kicked his legs for a long while before finally dying.

Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but tsk-tsk twice, cupped his hands and said to Song Yun, "I really admire you for being able to raise such a dog."

All ten guards were dead.

Song Yun watched these lives disappear, his eyes gradually turned red, his mouth was slightly pursed, as if he had exhausted all his strength.But from the beginning to the end, he still didn't say a word.

Song Yun was then escorted into a prison van and entered the capital.

The common people were still immersed in the sad news of the king's death just now, and many people lamented that the emperor's hard work in governing these years has become more and more cherished.At this time, it was heard that Song Yun, who was the one who started the conspiracy, was arrested and brought back to Beijing. How could they let each of them go.What's more, in the Battle of Liuzhou, the relatives of more than [-] soldiers who were sacrificed innocently by Song Yun's tricks and schemes, all those in Beijing, all went to the streets, gnashing their teeth and waiting for their enemies.

Song Yun was already the traitor that all the subjects of the Great Zhou hated the most.No one was willing to give up the opportunity to abuse and castigate Song Yun, and crowded the streets. On the road from the East Gate to the Dali Temple Prison, there were people crowded, upstairs and even on the roof were full of people.Of course, these common people naturally had some useful 'things' to deal with Song Yun.

Soon, there were thousands of soldiers holding hands on both sides of the street to control the scene to prevent thieves from messing around.The people in Gyeonggi Province were also afraid that the people would be too excited, and they would beat the soldiers who were escorted together. They emphasized again and again that the people are not allowed to beat things with their hands.

However, after Song Yun's prison cart entered the city, rats, cockroaches, and rotten vegetables and leaves were flying all over the sky, and the prison cart could only travel ten feet away. Song Yun's prison cart was already half full with messy things, and at this time Song Yun sat in the prison cart One corner, holding his head in both hands, he ignored the noise outside, motionless, as if he was dead.Seeing this, the people became even more angry, and kept throwing things in their hands.In just a moment, the prison van was already full.

Seeing this, Liu Zhizhong didn't feel happy. He was only worried that Song Yun would be tortured to death by these people before he was transported to the place, so he hurriedly ordered the yamen to get wooden boards to cover the prison cart, and moved forward quickly, so that Song Yun could barely be transported into the place. The prison in Dali Temple.

Before going to prison, Song Yun had to clean up his body, it was too dirty.

The guards complained as they cleaned up Song Yun who was silent.

"It's said that the prison cell is dirty enough, but today I have seen even dirtier ones."

"It's just this guy, and he is still assigned to warm up the water to take a bath?"

"Isn't this going to be interrogated later? I can't smell the adults."

"Too."

The jailer took a bucket of water and poured it directly on Song Xi...

After Muriliao had already been arrested and sent to prison, he still believed that there was hope, but he was suspected of treason. He felt that his father should not give him such a lousy place because of his blood relationship.Someone must have concealed it and did not inform the emperor of his current departure from Beijing.Suimu Ruiliao kept yelling and declaring that he was the prince, but the guards in the dungeon were all like wood, motionless, and didn't bother to talk to him at all.

Muruiliao kicked his legs in a hurry, shouted out his throat, and his whole body was weak, so he was honest and sat on the ground dejectedly, muttering curses in his mouth, "Wait, after I get out, you bastards must be severely punished!"

Royal Palace.

Two hours later, several inaudible cries came from the Hall of Spring Harmony.When the Empress Dowager heard that the Empress had given birth to a prince, she just had a gleam of hope in her eyes when she saw the little palace maid stumbling in crying and reporting that the Empress had died.Then, she heard loud and mournful cries from the Hall of Spring Harmony.

The queen mother swayed immediately, walked out the door, and looked at the fifteenth prince.The fifteenth prince knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

The queen mother hurriedly asked someone to help him, but Muruiguo yelled that no one would touch him.

The Queen Mother went there in person, and stretched out her hand to pull Murui to live.Mu Rui Guofang calmed down and looked at the queen mother with red eyes.The Empress Dowager burst into tears immediately.

"Good boy." The queen mother hugged Murui and patted him on the back.

"Why is this? The mother's health is not good, but she has been well-rested these days, and she is already very energetic. How could she suddenly—" Mu Ruiguo choked and couldn't speak.

"Every time a woman gives birth, she has to go before the gate of hell, not to mention that your mother gave birth prematurely..."

"It's all to blame—" Mu Ruiguo gritted his teeth, turned around and looked in the direction of the Hall of Spring Harmony, and clenched his fists.

The queen mother took his arm, sighed, and took him to see the queen for the last time.

"What's the last one? She's already gone, and she didn't leave me a word!" Mu Ruiguo roared, tears streaming down his face, "My mother has never been really happy for so many years, and now she is leaving It must be painful, her son never took her hand to see him off for the last time!"

After Mu Ruiguo said that, he knelt on the ground in self-reproach, crying bitterly that he was sorry for the queen.

"Son, it's not your fault, it's the fake prince, and your father's departure has hit her too hard."

"After all, it is because she is in the emperor's house that she will be affected by such a conspiracy. I only hope that she will not be such a woman in her next life. She doesn't have to be the most beautiful in the world, and she doesn't have to be trapped in a deep palace..."

"Guer, what nonsense are you talking about!" The Queen Mother immediately changed her face and reprimanded her harshly. "You are the majestic prince of Zhou, and the prince who is about to inherit the throne. How can you say such absurd remarks in front of everyone."

Murui looked at the queen mother dissatisfied, pursed his lips, stiffened his neck, and remained silent.

"Forget it, you are too sad, don't talk like that in the future, follow me in and see your mother."

After a stick of incense, the low death knell sounded again.

Song Xi and Jia She had just rushed back to the capital when they heard the news of the Queen's death.

Jia Amnesty frowned, he really didn't expect so many accidents to happen in one day.He looked sideways at Song Xi, and saw a cold jade face, his face remained motionless, even his eyes were frozen, and an oppressive atmosphere lingered around him.Jia Amnesty knew that he was very sad.

The rest of the ministers also rushed over, seeing that the body of the saint had been brought back, they were all more sighed with emotion.

The emperor and empress passed away one after another, and someone still needs to preside over the overall situation of the court.The queen mother had to show up to preside over the overall situation and summoned five people including Song Xi, Jia She, Cai Feiping, Liu Zhongliang and Prime Minister Wu.At this time, Jia Amnesty presented the imperial edict written by the emperor earlier in the Menglan Palace.

"The white-haired people from the mourning family gave away the black-haired people. I just wish I could go with them. But now the new king has not been established, the civil strife has just been settled, the country is unstable, and the [-]th prince is young and willful. He has not yet grown up and needs to be entrusted Lovers are loyal assistants, helping him to govern my country!" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she burst into tears and kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Prime Minister Wu bowed his hands and went out, "Fortunately, the sage has already spied on the conspiracy between Song Yun and the fake prince, and changed the edict to pass it on to the fifteenth prince. Please rest assured, the fifteenth prince is Fang Huimin, talented and intelligent, and he will be able to stand up It is the great task of governing the country. Ministers and others must also devote themselves to assisting with all their strength."

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Song Xi, saw that he was still silent, and said: "My condolences too."

Song Xi saluted quietly and thanked the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager sighed twice, and once again asked the ministers to fulfill their duties and assist the new monarch before dismissing the crowd, and was assisted by the palace servants to leave the hall in a deceitful manner.

Cai Feiping: "Why did this happen so suddenly and develop to the present situation?"

Liu Zhongliang sighed coldly: "Everything must have a cause and effect. Aren't you and I deeply involved in it and never see through it?"

"Okay, this is the end of the matter, I still want to follow the Queen Mother's instructions, Gu Quan's current situation is the most important thing." After Wu Chengxiang said, he turned around and saw that Jia She and Song Xi had not spoken, so he asked him softly what they thought.

Jia Amnesty looked at Song Xi.

Song Xi still had a sullen face, and said in a low voice: "Everything is done according to the usual practice."

Prime Minister Wu nodded, and turned to discuss with Song Xi in a soft voice: "The fifteenth prince, I heard that he... overreacted today, will there be any accidents?"

Cai Feiping, as the husband of the fifteenth prince, couldn't help saying: "Can you not be excited, whoever loses his biological parents on the same day and finds out that there is a fake brother who deceived his feelings, who will become normal? Old man Wu, you are enough!" Already!"

On the contrary, Wu Cheng turned and gave Cai Feiping a hard look, and had an attitude of 'hate him for not dying early' towards Cai Feiping, "After being taught by you, His Royal Highness has become more and more eccentric and stubborn. If there is any problem, I will take you ask."

"All right, all right, I'll go see him right now!" Cai Feiping took the lead to leave.

Jia Amnesty and Song Xi also went afterward, but they were both blocked from the door.

"Your Highness said that he wanted to stay alone for a while without seeing anyone." The palace man replied.

The three had no choice but to leave.

Hall of Spring Harmony.

Although the crying of grief stopped, the tension of the palace people had not dissipated. Apart from dealing with the queen's afterlife, the sixteenth prince who was born prematurely made them very nervous.His Royal Highness was very thin and his breathing was weak. Several imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital, headed by Gao Boming, and more than a dozen experienced nuns in the palace were guarding His Sixteenth Highness's room, taking care of them all the time.

Jia She and Song Xi also came, because the sixteenth prince is too weak and afraid of the wind.Jia She and Song Xi had just returned from the battlefield in the mountains, so it was really taboo to see him.They only asked about the situation of Gao Boming and others, and learned that as long as the sixteenth prince is taken good care of, he will survive the first ten days without any major problems.Song Xi immediately warned everyone that the child's life must be saved, otherwise he would take everyone to be buried with him, leaving no one behind.

Even the Empress Dowager never said such serious words to them.However, the palace people were still frightened by Song Xi's overbearing aura, and they also believed that he would really do such a thing. They all respectfully agreed, beating drums in their hearts, and always warned themselves to be careful.

Jia She and Song Xi arrived at the prison.

Lin Ruhai came to greet them, and then asked his subordinates to inform Song Xi and Jia She of the situation of the two. "The fake prince is a bit crazy, dazed. It is obvious that the matter has come to this point, and the crime has been caught. He still dares to die and insists that he is the prince. With the aura of the prince, he yells at people everywhere. Even the jailer can't do anything about him. As for That Song Yun hasn't said a word since he entered the prison, and has been silent until now."

"Has Song Yun been interrogated?" Jia She turned his head and asked Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong said helplessly: "It's been interrogated, he didn't say a word, he seemed to be dumb. My lord, I don't think there is any need to interrogate him now. The fact of his treason is well known, and it has already been confirmed, and it can't be changed at all. On the contrary. Those people in Wolong Village have already notified the local government to arrest them, what should they do with them after that, kill them all?"

Song Xi immediately cut off the conversation and said: "This matter is not within the responsibility of your Gyeonggi Prefecture, it is handled by the Ministry of Punishment according to the law."

The crime of treason must be committed, not to mention that many people in Wolong Village participated in it. According to the law of the Great Zhou, these people will never survive.But implicating the nine clans is too difficult for Jia She, he is the last person who doesn't want to implicate innocent people.There must be some old and weak women and children among them. Song Xi knew that Jia Amnesty couldn't handle this problem, so he might as well grab it and hand it over to others.

Song Xi turned his head and saw Jia She didn't say anything, he was still thinking about Song Yun's matter, so he said to Jia She
