In the afternoon, Li Wei entered the palace to see Fu Sheng.After saluting to him, he said, "Your Highness, the king of the East China Sea died of illness and should go to pay his respects."

Fu Sheng said with a face of reluctance: "If I go now, I'm afraid it will bring bad luck."

But Li Wei said: "Your Highness, please think about it. Firstly, this visit will show benevolence and filial piety, and secondly, it will also comfort His Majesty."

After thinking for a while, Fu Sheng said, "Forget it, let's go tomorrow."

Li Wei saluted with satisfaction and said, "Your Highness is wise."

The next day, Mrs. Gou, who was kneeling in the mourning hall and burning paper money, Fu Jian and Zhang Muxie heard that the prince had arrived, and rushed out to meet him.After Fu Sheng got out of the car, he asked everyone to get up.Suddenly, he saw Zhang Muxie who was next to Fu Jian immediately wiped away the displeasure just now, and looked straight at Liu Meifeng, red lips and white teeth, especially when he was wearing this white filial piety dress, Xi Shi was better than Xi Shi.

Seeing Fu Sheng staring at him intently, Zhang Muwei held Fu Jian timidly, and Fu Jian also looked at Fu Sheng vigilantly.Although Mrs. Gou was very happy when she saw this scene, she didn't show it. She just saluted again and said, "Your Highness, please come inside." Fu Sheng finally regained his composure and nodded his head in embarrassment.

Surrounded by everyone, Fu Sheng walked into the palace.Fu Sheng first walked to the mourning hall, picked up the three sticks of incense that had already been lit and bowed, then put them into the incense burner, and then turned around.Mrs. Gou, Fu Jian and Zhang Muyi immediately returned the gift.And Fu Sheng looked at Zhang Muzhen and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Muchai immediately saluted and replied: "Report to Your Highness" she hadn't finished speaking yet.Fu Jian, who had been dissatisfied for a long time, immediately said: "She is the wife of my younger brother."

When Fu Sheng heard this, he felt a little disappointed.On the other hand, Mrs. Gou said: "Wen Yu, Mu Wei is not blond now, so don't talk nonsense." Both Fu Jian and Zhang Muwei looked at Mrs. Gou in surprise.But Mrs. Gou ignored it completely, and saluted Fu Sheng and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the prince had made a marriage contract with Master Zhang Cheng before his death. But it has been a matter of many years, and the prince has never given a betrothal gift, so"

Hearing this, Fu Sheng said happily, "So that's how it is."

At this time, Zhang Cheng came out with a gloomy face, and said to Mrs. Gou: "It seems that my Zhang family has made an appointment. Let me leave."Anxious Fu Jian quickly walked up to Zhang Cheng, saluted and said, "Uncle Zhang, please put out your anger. After the three-year filial piety, Fu Jian will marry Mu Yu."

But before Zhang Cheng could speak, Mrs. Gou said angrily: "Wenyu, since ancient times, the parents have made the decisions on major matters of marriage, how can you allow you to talk nonsense!"

An angry Fu Jian pointed to Fu Xiong's coffin in the mourning hall and said, "My father's bones are not cold, how could my mother do such a thing?"

An angry Mrs. Gou stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped Fu Jian and shouted loudly, "Confucius and Mencius are always inseparable. Let me ask you, who among the sages spoke to their parents in such a tone!"

Zhang Cheng, who was burning with anger, pulled Zhang Muzhen fiercely and walked out. Zhang Muzhen did not dare to disobey his father, but just kept looking back at Fu Jian, without saying a thousand words.

But Fu Sheng smiled slightly, and said to Mrs. Gou: "The deceased has passed away, so don't worry too much. If there are difficulties in the future, I will definitely help you. It's not too early, I will leave first."

Mrs. Gou and the others saluted and said, "Send off Your Highness the Crown Prince." Only Fu Jian neither saluted nor spoke, but glared at Fu Sheng.Fu Sheng glanced at it, but walked away without saying a word.

Fu Jian came to the side hall at Madam Gou's signal and closed the door.Madam Gou said to Fu Jian angrily: "Kneel down!" Although Fu Jian was holding back his anger, he still knelt on the ground as usual.Mrs. Gou pointed at Fu Jian and said: "Now that the prince is gone, although His Majesty confers you an official title, it is not a long-term solution. In this huge royal family, how can you have a place? Besides, Your Majesty is not in good health, how can you?" Offend His Royal Highness, the future monarch!"

Fu Jian said disdainfully: "A high-ranking official has a generous salary, but it's like a passing cloud."

Mrs. Gou scolded with wide eyes: "Nie Zi! You actually abandoned your family and career for a woman, and ignored everyone in the palace!"

Hearing this, Fu Jian also felt that it was inappropriate, and said softly: "Wen Yu's words are abrupt, please forgive me."

Mrs. Gou, who knew Fu Jian's nature well, leaned over to help Fu Jian up, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother knows that you like Mu Yi, but today you can also see the prince's heart, and the lives of the whole palace depend on one thought." She also said Not finished.

The benevolent Fu Jian said hopelessly: "Wen Yu understands." Then he turned and left, walking aimlessly on the Qingshi Road, his mind was in chaos.I can't ignore the lives of the people in the mansion, but I don't want to give up my admiration and let her sheep go to the tiger's mouth.He looked up at the leaves that were blowing in the wind, just like himself, he didn't know where he would go.A few teardrops fell, and bitterly looked up at the clouds hanging in the sky.

Also helpless, the only one who can wash his face with tears is Zhang Muzhen who is in the Zhang residence.Knowing her father Zhang Cheng's temper well, she faintly felt that her marriage with Fu Jian was precarious.Unless Fu Jian did enough to satisfy his father, but Fu Jian had always been benevolent and filial, and would never disobey Mrs. Gou.

At this time, his personal servant girl hurried in, sweating profusely and said anxiously: "Miss, the crown prince sent Mr. Dong to propose marriage to the master."

Zhang Muchai panicked and said, "Is this true?"

The servant girl nodded and said, "The prince wants to make you a beauty!"

After Zhang Muxie finished listening, she quickly walked to the front hall and went to the door to eavesdrop.

Dong Rong said: "Master Zhang, are you not thinking about it?"

Zhang Cheng said with displeasure: "My daughter is young, I'm afraid she won't be able to serve His Highness."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Dong Rong got up from his seat and said with a hidden knife in his smile, "One day he will regret today's decision." Then he turned around and walked out of the hall, just in time to see Zhang Muxi who was hiding aside.Zhang Muzhen lowered his head in nervousness and fear, but Dong Rong said confidently: "It won't take many days, we will see you again." Then he left with a smile.

Zhang Cheng, who heard the sound, spit at Dong Rong's back angrily, then turned to Mu Yu and said, "Don't worry, my father won't let you fall into that man's hands. Go back to the room." Zhang Mu Yu nodded leave.Zhang Cheng, who was alone, sighed lightly, and said, "My lord, why did you die!"

Dong Rong, who returned to the East Palace, told the whole story to Fu Sheng who was full of expectations.The furious Fu Sheng immediately shouted loudly: "Come here, follow me to the Zhang Mansion!"

Dong Rong didn't expect that Fu Sheng would directly rob people, so he immediately said: "Your Highness, there is no reason to lead troops into the mansion. I'm afraid it will alarm His Majesty and cause criticism. Why don't Your Highness tell His Majesty tomorrow that Zhang Cheng is plotting something wrong?"

Fu Sheng said: "How can I wait until tomorrow for the person I want?"

Dong Rong saw that Fu Sheng had to go, so he said again: "Zhang Cheng is ambitious and wants to seek the emperor. The crown prince arrested the whole family to protect the safety of His Majesty."

Fu Sheng smiled and nodded.

Half an hour later, Fu Sheng led his troops to surround Zhang's mansion.After receiving the report from his subordinates, Zhang Cheng immediately brought his servants to the gate of the mansion, walked up to Fu Sheng and said angrily, "His Royal Highness, Zhang Cheng has not done anything illegal, what is the purpose of today's action?"

Fu Sheng held Zhang Cheng straight with the whip in his hand, and said disdainfully, "Why, why don't you kneel down and salute when you see Ben Gong?"

Although Zhang Cheng was already furious, but after all he was a minister and Fu Sheng was the king, so he reluctantly raised his clothes and knelt down to salute and said, "Zhang Cheng has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Suddenly, two personal guards beside Fu Sheng general Zhang Cheng Cheng grabbed it.Although the furious Zhang Cheng couldn't move, he yelled at Fu Sheng: "The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the people! How can we arrest people arbitrarily without evidence!"

But Fu Sheng said calmly: "You can find out when you search." After speaking, he made a gesture to the soldiers behind him, and everyone rushed into Zhang's mansion and arrested them.

At the same time, Zhang Muzhen, who was sitting alone in the room and feeling sad, suddenly heard the commotion outside, first wiped the tears on his face with a handkerchief, then got up and opened the door to find out.Unexpectedly, several soldiers in armor suddenly rushed over.Zhang Muxie, who was so frightened that his face paled, immediately took a few steps back, and asked timidly, "Who dares to trespass into Zhang's mansion!" These people did not speak, and escorted him to the front yard.

At this time, the front yard was already full of people.Fu Sheng, who was sitting on the chair, immediately got up from his seat when he saw Zhang Muzhen.Although he had the intention to let people untie him, he sat down again because this was a place of right and wrong.

Zhang Cheng, who understood the ins and outs of the matter, cursed loudly: "Fu Sheng, you actually robbed the little girl for your own selfish desire! Qin will be destroyed by your hands sooner or later!"

Hearing this, Fu was so angry that he walked up to Zhang Cheng, slapped him and shouted, "How dare you insult me!" Because of the force, a few drops of blood flowed down the corner of Zhang Cheng's mouth.

Zhang Muchai yelled, "Father!"

Zhang Cheng, who was already furious with thunder, then spit his saliva on Fu Sheng's face and cursed: "Bastard!"

The ferocious Fu Sheng immediately pulled out the sword in his waist and stabbed Zhang Cheng's left chest.Zhang Cheng said with blood all over his mouth: "Fu Sheng, he will be punished by God someday!" Then, with the last bit of strength, he spat out the blood-mixed saliva on Fu Sheng's face again.

Annoyed, Fu Sheng pulled out the sword first, and then stabbed it heavily again.Zhang Cheng fell to the ground and died.And Zhang Muzhen, who was filled with grief and indignation, also passed out due to the attack of anger and blood.

Fu Sheng, who originally only wanted to bring Zhang Muzhen back to the East Palace, completely exposed his true nature after Zhang Cheng spat on him twice.After wiping the drool off his face with his sleeve, he waved his sword and shouted, "No one will be left alive except Zhang Muyi!"

For a time, the sound of screams continued, and corpses were scattered all over the place.A total of 63 members of Zhang's family were known about their lives in this way.But this still couldn't appease Fu Sheng's anger, he ordered: "Set fire to the mansion!" Then he left with the fainted Zhang Muyi, leaving behind a sea of ​​flames.

Because the incident was too big, everyone in the entire Chang'an city knew about it and was shocked within a short time.Even Mrs. Gou was shocked, she never wanted to kill Zhang's father and daughter, and at the same time she was terrified by Fu Sheng's cruelty.Therefore, she hurried to find Fu Jian.

Seeing Fu Jian who was full of anger, Mrs. Gou yelled: "Wen Yu, no!"

Fu Jian, whose eyes were bloodshot, glared at Mrs. Gou, and said loudly, "I've made up my mind, don't try to stop me!"

Seeing his resolute attitude, Madam Gou knelt down on her knees and wept and said, "Wenyu, the prince has gone. If you make a mistake, what reason does mother have to love the world!"

Fu Jian walked up to Mrs. Gou, knelt down and wiped the tears off her face with his hands, and said, "Wen Yu can't ignore this matter, and live with peace of mind. Zhang's family was killed unjustly, and Mu Yu was brought into the palace by Fu Sheng. Therefore, I have filed an imperial petition, asking Your Majesty to severely punish Fu Sheng and release Mu Yi, so as to comfort the souls of the Zhang family.”

Mrs. Gou shook her head repeatedly and said: "Wen Yu, Your Majesty has just appointed the crown prince not long ago. Even if the grievances of the Zhang family are cleared up, the whole world will know that His Majesty did not choose the heir properly. If Longyan is furious, not only the prince's wisdom will be wasted, but the palace will also be ruined." It will be implicated. Since this matter has already happened, there is no room for redemption, so let him go."

But Fu Jian stood up abruptly with his eyes wide open, and walked outside.In desperation, Mrs. Gou hugged Fu Jian's left leg with both hands and shouted: "Wen Yu!" But Fu Jian said coldly: "In the eyes of my mother, the Zhang family is an outsider. But in Wen Yu's eyes, it's the exact opposite!"

Madam Gou, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to say: "Why don't you go to Li's mansion to find your uncle first, and discuss the countermeasures, it's better than entering the palace so recklessly."

Fu Jian looked down at his mother who was praying for him, and bent down softly to help her up.Madam Gou took Fu Jian's hand and left the palace.

At the same time, Li Wei, who learned that Fu Sheng had set fire to murder and robbed people, was filled with resentment but helpless.At this moment, Li Zhong came in to salute and said: "The King of Donghai and his mother want to see the general." Li Wei hurriedly walked to the gate of the mansion and greeted him personally.

After Fu Jian saw Li Wei, he immediately said: "Uncle, Mu Xi" he didn't finish.Li Wei shook his head hastily, took the two of them to the side hall and asked his servants to go out. After closing the doors and windows himself, he turned around and said, "Wen Yu, your uncle knows what you want. But the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. If Your Majesty If you are eager to protect the calf, the palace will be in great trouble."

But Fu Jian said righteously: "This matter is so clear, how can His Majesty not handle it fairly?"

Li Wei shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, not to mention your majesty's kind heart. And in the court that day, many important officials in the court supported him. Even if this matter is all his fault, the officials will fight for it .And now there is no evidence to tell," he couldn't finish.

Fu Jian said dissatisfiedly: "In your opinion, should Mingzhe protect himself and see death?"

Li Wei hurriedly explained: "No. Uncle asked you, do you care about Mu Yu's innocence or life?"

Fu Jian replied firmly: "Life."

Li Wei said: "Wen Yu's mind is unmatched by anyone. My uncle entered the palace immediately to save his life. He will think of a solution to save Mu Yu. However, Wen Yu will also work hard to accumulate strength from now on. Uncle and Granny Lu Lou will definitely help."

Fu Jian, who was young and inexperienced, believed Li Wei's words, saluted and said, "Thank you uncle!"

Li Wei smiled and helped him up.Madam Gou at the side said with a relieved smile, "That's very good, Wenyu, go back to the mansion and wait for the good news, okay?"

Fu Jian turned around and said to Mrs. Gou: "I will rescue Mu Yi in the future, do you agree to the marriage contract?"

Madam Gou nodded against her will.

Only then did Fu Jian salute Li Wei again with peace of mind and said, "I will thank you, uncle." Li Wei said, "Since we are family members, there is no need to thank you. Uncle will enter the palace immediately to save his life."

Mrs. Gou bowed to Li Wei.Li Wei looked at Madam Gou and smiled.

After waking up, Zhang Muzhen found herself lying on a big bed made of golden nanmu with yellow gauze as the curtain, so she hurriedly got up and got out of bed.But Fu Sheng, who was sitting on the chair, said, "Where do you want to go?"

When Zhang Muchai saw Fu Sheng, he immediately shouted angrily, "I'm going to kill you!" and rushed towards Fu Sheng.Fu Sheng grabbed Mu Wei's hand with one hand and held it in his arms, while with the other hand he touched his face that was already flushed with anger, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful even when it's born."

Knowing that he couldn't escape Fu Sheng's grasp today, Zhang Muwei wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself.But how could Fu Sheng let her die? He pinched her neck with one hand, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve with the other hand and stuffed it into her mouth.Then he hugged her on the bed, and when he was about to take off her clothes, a palace servant came in, saluted and said: "His Royal Highness, General Li Wei is asking to see you."

The furious Fu Sheng just wanted to say no, but then he thought, if such a big event happened, Li Wei would be the best helper if his father blamed him.So he got up and said, "Tie her up," and left.
