I want to abdicate every day [Rebirth]

King Gaochang left his book out of the palace...

out of the palace...

Song Yan stood on the steps in a daze, not knowing for a moment whether to chase after King Gaochang, or turn around and enter Wende Hall to deal with government affairs.

Song Yan subconsciously covered his mouth in disbelief, his slightly helpless look felt distressed in Chang Lu's eyes, and Chang Lu hurriedly said to the servant:

"Where is this palace, how can you come in and out at will."

The servant was terrified, and kowtowed for mercy: "Slave... The servants don't know that at night, His Highness King Gaochang asked the servant not to wait in the bedroom. Later, at night, he also heard the noise in the bedroom, but when the servant woke up in the morning We went to wait on him, and...we found King Gaochang...he left a letter, and there was no sign of him in the bedroom at all."

Song Yan held his forehead, always feeling that his blood pressure was a little high and he was a little dizzy, so he hurriedly told him to shut up and not to speak again.

Chang Lu waited for Song Yan to sit in the Wende Hall, and was even more cautious, but also very respectful. If Song Yan hadn't explicitly prohibited the invitation of the imperial physician, Chang Lu would have run away and would have carried the imperial physician.

Song Yan couldn't figure out why he said that sentence wrongly, which made King Gaochang leave overnight.

He remembered that he clearly told King Gaochang that he wanted to take his great-grandson into the capital, why did King Gaochang still run away, did he not trust himself so much?

Song Yan covered his face, feeling quite lost.

He obviously had good intentions, he really wanted to train his nephew well, and let him be the crown prince in the future.

Why did King Gaochang not believe it?Isn't he the one who wants to be emperor the most?He was the leader of the Seven Kings Rebellion, and he was the only one to follow. Now he wants to pass the throne directly to his great-grandson, why did he run away?

Is it because he wanted to be the emperor himself, but in the end he wanted to pass it on to his great-grandson, and he was unhappy, so he fled back to Gaochang. Would he rebel with the other princes?

Song Yan looked up in shock, which startled Chang Lu.

Chang Lu was a little worried: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

The shock on Song Yan's face gradually turned into joy, and he quickly raised a smile: "It's nothing, I'm not full for breakfast, you tell the dining room to prepare some snacks for me."

After Chang Lu responded, he withdrew from Wende Hall. Song Yan felt extremely relieved when he saw Chang Lu's leaving back.

If King Gaochang is going back to rebel, he thinks he should be given a chance. First of all, Guo Sheng is the internal response of King Gaochang, and he must go back to Shunning Mansion. Put Shunning Mansion under the command of King Gaochang.

Song Yan acted like a foolish king who didn't hear anything outside the window, waiting for the army of the seven kings to march all the way to the capital without bloodshed.

As a result, Song Yan hurriedly said: "Come here, pass on my oral order to let Guo Sheng, the prefect of Shunning, enter the palace to meet you."

Song Yan felt relieved after hearing the voice of the internal servant who delivered the decree.

When Guo Sheng was fully dressed and entered the palace, the dining room brought all the snacks, tea and fruits. Song Yan felt that it was a bit embarrassing to use dim sum in a place like Wende Hall, so he asked someone to put it under the corridor of the courtyard outside Wende Hall. Zhang Xiaoji, with some cushions.

Because the weather is about to enter winter, it is still somewhat cold. Fortunately, Song Yan is holding the stove, and the tea is hot, and it is under the porch, so naturally it will not be too cold to stand up.

Guo Sheng stood in front of the steps wearing a neat official uniform and hat, bowing and saluting, not daring to get up at all.

Song Yan took a bite of a muffin and chewed it carefully, raised her eyes to look at Guo Sheng, and asked with concern, "Is Guo Qing getting better?"

Guo Sheng froze when he was asked, and hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I... I have been recovering from my wounds in the post house, and I am much better now."

Song Yan was still somewhat satisfied, and couldn't help saying: "It must be a bit cold coming here with the wind, so Guo Qing sat down and tasted this hot tea with me, Chang Lu, go and get Guo Qing a hand stove."

Chang Lu responded, but told Guo Sheng to kneel on the ground quickly, thanking God for his grace, and then sat next to Song Yan's subordinate, pouring tea for Song Yan himself, extraordinarily doglike.

Song Yan looked at Guo Sheng and said, "Does Guo Qing know why I called you to Beijing?"

Guo Sheng was a little cautious, nodding his head and waiting for instructions.

Song Yan covered her lips and coughed lightly, "I know about a case that was committed four years ago by the magistrate of Qingzhou under the jurisdiction of your Shunning Prefecture. In order to seize the ancestral property of the local private school Mr., you framed his son-in-law for murder. His son-in-law was tortured to death in prison, and the master of the state government coveted his daughter's beauty, and forced him to die. The private school teacher reported to your government office, but you beat him out. It made the situation worse, and the gentleman passed away in a short time."

As soon as Song Yan mentioned this matter, Guo Sheng immediately stood up and knelt down in front of the steps: "Your Majesty, please be aware that the law clearly states that anyone who sues an official shall be punished with a stick thirty times. I did nothing wrong."

"Then why did you kick him out of the yamen without further investigation?" Song Yan stared at him, Guo Sheng trembled all over, not knowing how to respond.

Song Yan got up holding the hand stove, stepped down the steps to Guo Sheng's side, and stretched out his hand to pull him up:

"I have sent people to investigate the facts of the case back then. It is not one or two times that Qingzhou Zhizhou has violated the law. Case after case has been placed on my desk. Some of them are related to Guo Qing. I hope that Guo Qing Tell me yourself that King Gaochang is my uncle, if you don’t look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, I won’t hit you hard.”

Guo Sheng clasped his fists and nodded, trying to calm his mind: "I... I understand."

Song Yan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "In this case, the governor of Qingzhou will be escorted to Beijing in two days and handed over to Dali Temple for trial. How much evidence Guo Qing has about him here, I hope you can understand presented together."

Guo Sheng saluted and responded, his mind was buzzing all the time, and his heart was beating a little fast.

Is the emperor showing favor to him?

Guo Sheng didn't think it looked like it, but when he thought that his father-in-law was still in the palace, maybe the emperor would spare him for his father-in-law King Gaochang's face, so he couldn't help saluting again:

"Your Majesty's gift, I will not forget it. I will immediately set off to return to Shunning Mansion, find all the evidence and submit it to Your Majesty, so that the corrupt officials and evil officials in Qingzhou Zhizhou will be punished by law. However, I have another matter here. Please, this father-in-law came to Beijing all the way for the sake of this subject, can you allow me to see his father-in-law?"

Song Yan took two steps with his hands behind his back, and said with his back to Guo Sheng, "Uncle left the palace early in the morning and went back to Gaochang, why didn't he come to bid farewell to Guo Qing?"

When Guo Sheng heard this, he was really puzzled: "Father-in-law never bid farewell to me, so... how could father-in-law leave Beijing suddenly..."

Song Yan turned to look at Guo Sheng and said, "It must be that there is something urgently needed for uncle to deal with in Prince Gaochang's mansion. Guo Qing, you are uncle's son-in-law. If you can help with some things, you are the son-in-law of King Gaochang. Logically speaking , it is understandable for you to help, so if King Gaochang needs you in the future, just say that I said it, Guo Qing, you have to do your best."

Guo Sheng's heart was flustered by the emperor's words, he looked at the emperor for some reason, and seemed to understand what the emperor meant, and quickly knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy: "I dare not!" Your Majesty, my allegiance is to the Son of Heaven, even if my father-in-law needs help, I will naturally ask the court for help, and I cannot help in private."

Song Yan's face turned cold, a little dissatisfied: "If I want you to help, you can help. This is a family, what are you and me? He is my uncle."

Guo Sheng knelt down on the ground, really not knowing how to answer.

After all, he still knew something about King Gaochang, and he could even be said to have participated in it. That's why King Gaochang came to Beijing because he was worried that something might go wrong with him, so he came to the capital for activities to help Guo Sheng.

But now listening to Song Yan's words, it seems that he knows what King Gaochang is plotting.

Guo Sheng couldn't figure it out, could it be that his father-in-law recruited them all under the emperor's coercion?

Now the emperor is interrogating his comrades?

Guo Sheng, who speculated like this, had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead. It is amazing that there are so many beads of sweat on such a cold day.

Song Yan said: "I saw that Guo Qing was thinking about these things. It's almost noon. Guo Qing might as well stay in the palace and have dinner with me."

Guo Sheng quickly refused: "No, Your Majesty, the evidence that Qingzhou Zhizhou bribed the minister is still in the government office of the Shunning Mansion. No one but the minister can know. The minister will go back to the Shunning Mansion. As soon as he gets the evidence, he will go to Beijing immediately."

Song Yan nodded in satisfaction: "Guo Qing is like this, it's not easy for me to force you to stay, then Guo Qing should go quickly."

After Guo Sheng saluted the emperor, he was led out of the palace again by his servants.

But in Guo Sheng's heart, he has always been used to bullying others. After being rectified by Song Yan for a while, he became very honest, and even opened his mind, thinking about the meaning of the emperor's words all the way.

It is impossible for him to betray his father-in-law, he can hand over evidence of bribery from Qingzhou magistrate, but he will never tell the emperor what his father-in-law is planning!

Song Yan was very happy when he heard that the servant reported that Guo Sheng had left the capital directly after leaving the palace.

Guo Sheng was frightened by Song Yan together, plus the previous beating, he would definitely feel dissatisfied, and if he let the tiger go back to the mountain like this, he would definitely not come back.

Shunning Mansion is high and the emperor is far away, so Guo Sheng has the final say.

As long as King Gaochang made a move, he was one step closer to abdicating, and he was very happy.

On the seventh day of the winter month, Qingzhou Zhizhou and his master were escorted to Beijing.

On the ninth day of the winter month, Guo Sheng, the prefect of Shunning, entered the capital with evidence of bribery from the prefect of Qingzhou.

Song Yan who heard the news was stunned for a while, this——

This Guo Sheng's brain should still be normal, why didn't he take this opportunity to find someone to send the evidence to the capital, but he sent it himself?

Song Yan was silent for a while, and finally thought: Maybe this is Guo Sheng trying to numb himself, so that he can think that he is loyal, so that he will trust him more.

Song Yan thought so, but when he saw Guo Sheng's resignation memorial presented together with the evidence, Song Yan's heart became extremely complicated.

——I'm so tired, I'm so tired that I don't even want to eat, let me starve to death!
