In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Hearing that Zhen'er was caught and tied up, thrown into the carriage, and almost died, Gu Li was furious when he heard that, and asked Xie Lian: "Who is this person who tied up Zhen'er? Have you checked it out?"

"This person is Zhongwan Tongsheng, the chariot driver of the Ministry of War. He has been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment by his humble position to await His Majesty's punishment."

Gu Li said: "This person is actually an official of the imperial court, and he is able to do such a frenzied thing. Who ordered him to take Zhen'er out of the palace, we need to find out one by one."

Xie Lian took the order.

Xie Lian led Fang Congjian, and said as they walked, "Is your injury better?"

Fang Congjian snorted, still remembering that he was hunted down by Cheng Kuan last night and Xie Lian ignored it.

Xie Lian smiled and said: "Last night, I was ordered to go out of the palace to look for the young highness. This is my duty. Finding him is the top priority, and everything else has to be put aside for the time being."

Fang Congjian glanced at him, Xie Lian was always smiling, but he felt that this person was not as kind as he appeared on the surface.

And last night, Cheng Kuan knew that he and Fu Shaoge knew each other, but he still chased him to death. Is this what Fu Shaoge meant?Why did Fu Shaoge suddenly want to kill him?Is it related to his secret conversation in the private room?

Fang Congjian silently thought about the conversation he heard last night, wondering what it meant.

At this time, Xiao Tan brought his guards to patrol, met Xie Lian, and saluted him.Xiao Tan looked at Fang Congjian, and Fang Congjian also looked at Xiao Tan's right hand with only half of his arm left.

A guard glared at him, and was about to reprimand Fang Congjian for not allowing him to stare at people, when Fang Congjian asked, "Your name is Yang Guo?"

Xiao Tan laughed and said, "You are so smart! My surname is Tan, and my name is Yang Guo. You can call me by my name!"

The guards all had an unbearable expression and booed him in unison.Fang Congjian said seriously: "Since you are Yang Guo, I would like to ask you a question or two."

Xiao Tan readily agreed.Fang Congjian borrowed a sword from a guard, and the two began to make gestures.Fang Congjian's martial arts skills were honed while fighting in the countryside, but when he entered the rebel army, he had no serious martial arts practitioners to point him out.

Xie Lian stood aside with her sword in her arms, pointing Fang Congjian a few words from time to time.Fang Congjian is a very intelligent person, with Xie Lian's advice, he learned by analogy and gradually turned the situation around.

The two fought fiercely, and they separated when they were exhausted.Xiao Tan laughed and praised: "You are very smart."

Fang Congjian also praised him: "You are amazing."

What he meant was that Xiao Tan had lost his right hand, yet he was able to draw with him with his left hand, which is very remarkable.A guard mocked: "That's because you are too bad, no wonder you were beaten into a bloody man by that killer last night."

Fang Congjian was not annoyed, he smiled and said, "I'm just superficial."

Xie Lian said: "If you have nothing to do, you can come to us to discuss."

Fang Congjian readily agreed.

Everyone walked outside the pasture of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The horses were grazing leisurely. Fang Congjian blinked, staring at the two reed chickens between the horses, and said in amazement: "Can the horse farm of the Imperial Palace still raise chickens?" ?”

Xiao Tan whistled and shouted, "Brother Diao!"

The two chickens ran wildly to the outskirts of the pasture, flapping their wings and cooing.Xiao Tan took out a paper bag, which turned out to be a ball of earthworms, wriggling slowly.

Xiao Tan scattered the earthworms into the pasture, and the two chickens flapped their wings and pecked at the earthworms, having a great time.

Fang Congjian continued to be stunned, and asked, "Brother Yang Guo calls these two chickens Brother Diao?"

Xiao Tan said seriously: "Diao Zai, you will become a god when you grow up."

Fang Congjian: ...

While Fang Congjian was wandering around the palace and Zhen'er was playing with the kitten, Gu Li had someone interrogate Wan Tongsheng, the chauffeur of the Ministry of War.Then let Li Tang find out how the maid named Skylark managed to get Zhen'er out of the palace.

When Xie Lian threw Wan Tongsheng to the Ministry of Criminal Justice last night, he had already explained the previous reasons. Hong Zhenqiu knew that this matter was serious, so he interrogated him overnight.When Gu Li was arraigned, Wan Tongsheng had almost recruited.

Also being arraigned are several of the captured killers.

These people were all kneeling at Gu Li's feet, begging for mercy. Just a day ago, they were still bullying the two young children with their own force and violence.

Gu Li looked at Wan Tongsheng, Wan Tongsheng had already recruited, and the gang of killers he hired were the same batch of soldiers that Gu Li cleaned up after finishing the barracks a few days ago.In addition, he was also the one who created the "Appeal to Thieves" that was posted in the capital.Everything he did was ordered by the Empress Dowager.

Gu Li held back his anger and said to Li Tang, "Go and invite the Queen Mother!"

Wan Tongsheng knelt on the ground and flinched when he heard the word "Queen Dowager", not daring to say anything.

The queen mother was quickly brought over. Seeing Wan Tongsheng kneeling on the ground, she was stunned, raised her head, sat down on the chair with her back straight, and said coldly: "The Ai family thought they would live in the cold palace forever, Your Majesty Why did you change your mind again?"

Gu Li said indifferently: "The queen mother doesn't like cold palaces, so I will change your residence later."

He looked at Wan Tongsheng and said, "Please tell me clearly, who ordered the "Call for Thieves" case? Who ordered the assassination of the emperor's heir?"

Wan Tongsheng lowered his head, raised his shackled hands, and pointed to the queen mother.

The queen mother was furious immediately, and cursed: "You dog! How dare you frame Aijia!"

Wan Tongsheng continued: "The Empress Dowager... arranged for Yunqiu, a court lady beside her, to meet with Beizhi. The first time I asked Beizhi to post a call to action against His Majesty, Yunqiu gave Beizhi 1000 taels and some jewelry. These jewelry , and placed it under the bed in the bedroom of the humble officer. Originally, the humble officer wanted to find Yang Tingbi, a talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, to write an essay. If your majesty doesn't believe it, just arrest him and ask him."

The queen mother scolded: "Bastard! Stop spitting blood!"

Wan Tongsheng glanced at her, with a dull face, and said: "Queen Mother, you old man, don't deny it anymore. Your court lady Yunqiu has a red mole on her neck, and she has a pair of eyes. You, if it wasn't your arrangement, how could I meet her and know her so well? Besides, the jewelry she handed over to me is still hidden under my bed at home. "

The queen mother suddenly became speechless, trembling, and was speechless for a long time.

Gu Li snorted, and said, "Keep talking. Tell me everything you know, and I will show you extra favors."

"These killers were originally soldiers from the Beijing camp. I hired them and acted according to the Queen Mother's instructions. Each of these killers is worth five thousand dollars. After the job is completed, there will be another five thousand dollars. Such a huge expense. They were all from Prince Cheng and Prince Fu. Prince Cheng also promised that he would give me another 5000 taels of silver."

The queen mother stared wide-eyed, her face twisted, she tightened her handkerchief, and shouted: "Enough! Enough! Don't say any more!"

She looked at Gu Li and said, "The disappearance of Gu Youzhen was all done by Aijia alone! Whatever the emperor wants to do, he will do it for Aijia!"

Gu Li suddenly stood up, threw the teacup on the ground, and cursed: "The empress dowager is so arrogant! She murdered the emperor's heir, colluded with the courtiers, and dared to yell at me! Why, does the empress dowager think that I dare not touch you?! "

He called Li Tang: "Gag the Queen Mother's mouth!"

Li Tang winked at the two servants, they held the queen mother down, and took the numb core to gag her mouth.

Gu Li thought that Prince Cheng would get involved, but he never expected that Prince Fu would be so unwilling to be lonely.He asked several killers: "Is what he said true?"

The killers nodded, and one of them said, "Your Majesty, please spare me! We didn't even know that it was the prince who was going to be killed. It was the third Wu who hired us, saying that if we did this, we could go back to our hometown and marry a wife."

Gu Li asked: "Who is Wu Laosan?"

Hong Zhenqiu said: "He is the leader of this gang, and he has not been arrested yet."

Gu Li said to Wan Tongsheng: "What else? Go on."

"The empress dowager deliberately confessed to her humble position, and wanted someone to kill Yunque and her highness. Yunque has always been Guo Zhaoyi's court lady. If she dies, she can be planted on Guo Zhaoyi's head."

"What is the deep hatred between the queen mother and Zhen'er? Why does a grandmother who recites Buddha all day long have to put her grandson to death?"

Wan Tongsheng said: "What the Empress Dowager means is that His Majesty moved her son into Prince Cheng, and Prince Cheng lost his right hand. Most likely, His Majesty ordered someone to do it. She must let His Majesty feel the pain of losing a beloved son!"

Gu Li looked at the queen mother.

The queen mother no longer had the strength to struggle, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, her face was gray, her eyes were protruding, and she stared at Wan Tongsheng fiercely.

Gu Li looked at Wan Tongsheng and said, "You've done a good job, keep talking!"

Wan Tongsheng plucked up his courage and continued: "The reason why the queen mother found Beizhi to serve her is because Beizhi has a good relationship with Prince Cheng, and Prince Cheng recommended Beizhi to her. Beizhi has heard that Prince Cheng is in the wine room many times. It was said on the table that if there is no His Royal Highness, the throne will be his sooner or later with regard to His Majesty's ailing body."

Gu Li clapped his hands and praised: "Prince Cheng is very courageous. It's just that you have to say that King Fu also got involved in this matter. Is there any evidence?"

"In the hands of Beizhi, there is a secret letter written by King Fu to Prince Cheng. It is the regular follower of Prince Cheng who was drunk by Beizhi. He got it from him and hid it under the bed in Beizhi's home."

Gu Li nodded, and said: "Hong Shangshu, send someone to collect the evidence! The prison student who helped Wan Tongsheng write the appeal against the thief was also arrested. The trial of these two cases is almost over, and I will leave the rest to you. Don't betray my trust."

Hong Zhenqiu took the order and ordered the criminals to be brought down.As for the Empress Dowager, Gu Li ordered her to be locked up in the cold palace after hearing about it.

Everyone was taken down, and the hall was empty again.Gu Li looked at Li Tang with a feeling of emptiness in his heart.

He guessed that the Empress Dowager and Prince Cheng were involved in this matter, but he did not expect that King Fu could not wait to take revenge on him.No, he had long expected that it would be inevitable to be retaliated against if these people's interests were violated, but he did not expect that any move by these people would be his weakness.

At this time, Zhen'er and the kitten came in holding hands and singing together.This child is also big-hearted, he went through such a terrible thing yesterday, but he seemed to take a risk with his little friend who knew the end beforehand, and he was happy as if nothing happened today.

But... Gu Li couldn't take it seriously just because Zhen'er didn't take it to heart.

He couldn't take this kind of thing again.

Zhen'er walked into the palace, snorted, and said, "Father, where is Brother Fang?"

He actually started calling Fang Congjian Brother Fang, Gu Li smiled, patted the heads of the two, and said, "Father asked someone to take Brother Fang around our house."

Zhen'er said: "The minister and the kitten went to find him together."

He said, holding hands with the kitten, and walked out singing, followed by a group of court ladies and eunuchs.

Gu Li looked at his innocent and lovely appearance, shook his head, and said, "Li Tang, what I did, is it right or wrong?"

"What does your majesty mean?"

"I investigated and dealt with the case of Prince Cheng and King Fu. I didn't get any benefits. The confiscated property was filled into the national treasury, and the stolen land was distributed to the people. But these people wanted to take revenge on me, but they took the innocent Zhen'er as a knife. I Is it right to do this? Maybe I should turn a blind eye and close one eye, as long as the princes, clans and officials don't go too far, I shouldn't care so much?"

Li Tang looked at Gu Li sadly, and said, "Your Majesty, the common people will miss you, and your hard work will not be in vain!"

Gu Li smiled wryly and shook his head: "They are all stabbing me where it hurts the most! I can't lose any of the people I love."

Be it Zhen'er or Chen Feng, he couldn't bear the injury of any one of them.

Li Tang sighed slightly.

It is also used together with Fang Congjian, Kitten and others for lunch.Gu Li heard from Xie Lian that Fang Congjian was chased and killed last night, and the situation was very dangerous, so he asked Fang Congjian who was chasing him and if he wanted to help.

Fang Congjian declined his kindness, saying only that he was just a local ruffian, not worth mentioning, and he could solve it by himself.

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Gu Li just let it go and invited him to stay in the palace for a little longer.Fang Congjian himself just wanted to ask Xie Lian and others for advice on kung fu, so he readily agreed.

Once the case is clarified, the trial will be quick.As expected, Prince Cheng and Prince Fu were involved in this incident, and Gu Li decreed that they would be deprived of their titles, demoted to common people, and all their family properties would be lost.The queen mother really went crazy again, Gu Li no longer wanted to tolerate the old woman, and ordered the queen mother to murder the emperor's heir, which was in vain for Gu Lunchang.

He reserved a small piece of land for the queen mother's property, and packed it with the queen mother and Prince Cheng.Gu Li felt that he should have done this long ago, lest these two people stir up troubles in the capital all day long.

The beheaded leader named Wu Laosan has been arrested and brought to justice, and he was asked to be executed together with Lang Zhongwan Tongsheng, the driver of the military department, and others.

As for the superintendent Shen Wenting who helped Wan Tongsheng to write the appeal against the traitors, he was expelled from the Guozijian, and he was banned from re-entering the official career for life.

In addition, how did Zhen'er be taken out of the palace? Li Tang searched through the people around the queen mother, and found out two maids and two helping guards.The guard didn't know that it was Gu Youzhen who was brought out by Yunque, and took advantage of Yunque, so he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes without checking, which allowed Yunque to get his hands.

These four people can no longer be used, Gu Li sent the four people to Xiaoling to help Cao Cunlin farm together.

The case of the empress dowager's murder of the emperor's heir was simply sensational, and the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.The princes of the clan sent a lot of condolences, scolded Prince Cheng and King Fu for acting against the law, and expressed their feelings to Gu Li.Gu Li still asked Li Tang to return the gift to comfort them.

In the Zuo mansion, Ji Shaoqing hurried into the room following the servants of the Zuo family.Seeing his anxious face, Zuo Shijue already knew what was going on in his heart, so he asked him to sit down and serve tea.

Ji Shaoqing anxiously said: "When is this, do you still have the mind to drink tea?"

Zuo Shijue smiled and said: "Ji Shaoqing, are you here for the matter of the commander of the Ministry of War?"

Ji Shaoqing spat: "This grandson! He is so courageous that he even dared to touch the emperor's heir! If I had known this grandson wanted money like this, I would never let him join!"

Zuo Shijue leisurely said: "The kidnapping of the emperor's heir, and the previous preparation of the "Request for Thieves" have nothing to do with us. What do you have to worry about?"

Ji Shaoqing anxiously said: "Although it has nothing to do with us, he knows a lot about us! I'm afraid that he won't keep his mouth open and tell us all about us in order to beg His Majesty's mercy."

Zuo Shijue stood up, looked out of the window, and said with his hands behind his back: "Don't worry, he's not that stupid."

"Even if he betrays us, informs His Majesty, and survives by chance, at least it is a crime of exile. We have plenty of ways to let him die on the road! He also has a family. As long as he keeps his mouth shut, I will He can guarantee the safety of his family, he is a smart man and knows how to choose."

After hearing what he said, Ji Shaoqing finally felt relieved, and pondered, "That's the truth."

He raised his head, looked at Zuo Shijue, and asked: "Zuo Shangshu, oh no, Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Zuo really has a good idea!"

Zuo Shijue said, "I'm not the prime minister yet!"

Ji Shaoqing laughed and said, "Isn't it going to be done soon!"

Ji Shaoqing left in peace, Zuo Shijue looked out of the window, thinking of Fu Shaoge's promise.

Fu Shaoge said that he would definitely do things well for him, but I don't know what happened.In order to win over Fu Shaoge, he spent a lot of money.

"Fu Shaoge, I have already given you the "Picture of the Tree of Sorrow", so don't let me down!"

It was only one day after the Queen Mother's case, when Gu Li suddenly received a memorial to impeach her.It was Huang Hongyu from the Ministry of Rites who impeached Cui Shi, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, accusing him of guarding and stealing himself, and using variegated silver as eight cents of silver to exchange for treasure notes.

The issue of banknotes has always affected Gu Li's nerves. He told Prime Minister Mu many times that he needed to pay close attention to the affairs of the treasure banknote department, but he did not expect that something went wrong.

He originally thought that after the three cases were tried, the administration of officials in the court should be much better, and those who intend to corrupt should also weigh it, but he didn't expect that this time it was the Minister of the Household Department who had an accident again!Is it true that no one can manage his finances for him?

Gu Li suddenly felt very tired.Cui Shi was recommended by Prime Minister Mu, and he was quite capable, so he gained his trust.But the current case made him feel that his trust and expectations were ridiculous.

Marx said that as long as there is a [-]% profit, capital dares to risk hanging its head.The profit of being an official is more than [-]%. Perhaps the trend of corruption and fraud in the officialdom will never be eradicated. Will he continue?

Or should we turn a blind eye and close one eye, as long as they don't go too far, let them do it?When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the people are inspected, there will be no disciples. The picketing is too much. The rebound and revenge of these officials is like the revenge of Prince Cheng and Prince Fu against him. Can he still bear it?

Fang Congjian has been living in the palace for the past few days. When he has nothing to do, he takes Kitten and Zhener to play together. Xie Lian and the others are free, so he asks them for advice on kung fu. He knew it right away.

Fang Congjian was not an official of the imperial court, so he didn't know what it meant until he heard Xiao Tan worryingly say: "Someone must be trying to harm Prime Minister Mu."

Fang Congjian didn't know why, so he asked, "How?"

"Prime Minister Mu has been impeached recently, and he is self-reflecting at home, but the people behind the scenes refuse to let him go. The impeachment of Cui Shangshu is targeting him!"

Fang Congjian thought for a while and asked, "Cui Shangshu belongs to Prime Minister Mu?"

Xiao Tan said: "It doesn't count, it's just that Cui Shangshu was recommended by Prime Minister Mu. If something happened to Cui Shangshu, Prime Minister Mu should also be jointly and severally responsible."

Fang Congjian's heart skipped a beat.

Fu Shaoge is the doctor of Baochao, should he be responsible for this matter?

What made Fang Congjian puzzled was that the admonishers had been impeaching this matter for the past two days, Zuo Shangshu temporarily took the post of prime minister, and entered the palace several times for this matter, but Gu Li did not give up.

Gu Li was still hesitating.

He had been out of the palace once, and wanted to ask Chen Feng what to do when encountering such a situation.

"Bongfeng, if I want to do something, someone opposes me to do it and threatens me that if I do it, they will hurt you. Tell me, should I do it?"

Chen Feng asked: "For example, if I want to kill the dog emperor, he threatens me with you?"

Gu Li thought for a while: "...It's okay to say so."

Chen Feng said: "Of course I put your safety first."

Gu Li hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean by that, is that you are willing not to kill the dog emperor for me?"

"The dog emperor's revenge, of course I want to avenge it. But if it threatens your safety, I can let it go for a while. After you are safe and sound, it will not be too late for me to wait for the opportunity."

Gu Li was a little discouraged and said, "Okay."

Chen Feng pushed him: "What's bothering you? Let me hear."

Gu Li sighed and shook his head: "Fengfeng, thank you, but I'm also a man, let me solve it myself."

Chen Feng's eyes flickered, and he looked at Gu Li. After a long time, he smiled and squeezed Gu Li: "Okay! If you can't solve it, come to me again! Don't take care of things yourself."

A person with such a firm belief like Fengfeng is really indestructible.But I'm not him, I'm not as quick-witted as he is, if I change to Chen Feng, I will be able to protect Zhen'er well, and also be able to cure corruption with an iron fist.

Gu Li left Chen Feng's house and walked silently on the streets of the capital.When he reached the gate of the palace, he didn't want to go in, so he hired a carriage and had someone drive it around the capital.

When passing by a mansion, a familiar figure was walking towards the mansion with two fish in his hands. Gu Li hurriedly asked the driver to stop, paid the fare, and walked to the mansion.

Mu House.

He actually arrived at Prime Minister Mu's house.

The familiar figure just now was Prime Minister Mu. He had already entered the mansion, but he seemed to be aware of it. When he turned his head and saw Gu Li, he said in a low voice, "You...why are you out of the palace again!"

Gu Li couldn't help but find it funny, and walked into Mu's house: "Prime Minister just came back from outside?"

Prime Minister Mu glanced at the two fishes he was carrying, and explained: "I couldn't sit idle at home, so I went out for a walk and saw the freshness of the fish, so I just happened to be eating fish tonight."

Gu Li asked: "Does the fish seller dare to take your money?"

Prime Minister Mu smiled and said, "People don't dare to take money, I can't stand the old man insisting on giving it."

Prime Minister Mu already knew about his impeachment in the past two days, and he realized that Gu Li had become suspicious of him, so he was a little disappointed for a while.

He invited Gu Li and said: "Since Your Majesty is here, why not have dinner at the old man's house?"

The author has something to say: Come late, come late!
