The prince is hard to serve

After Li Zezhang was impeached, the criminals were terrific, and he was imprisoned, there has been another big event in the government and the opposition recently——

Emperor Yan suddenly took Mu Guogong, a veteran of the three dynasties, into the prison of Dali Temple, and was extremely angry, without any explanation, directly sentenced him to be executed after autumn.

Li Zezhang, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites, also hanged himself in prison last night because he knew that he would die.

Soon, all the ministers of the DPRK and China received the news that the reason why Mu Guogui was imprisoned was because Li Zezhang suddenly came to his senses in prison, and wrote a confession letter introspection, listing the crimes he committed over the years .

There are so many crimes, it can be said that there are too many to list, including the case of the Northwest military salary being embezzled last time.

And Mu Guogong's crimes are forming a party for personal gain, embezzling military pay, accepting bribes, and enriching private pockets.

Mu Guogong did not confess to Duke Huai, he himself took all the responsibility for the crime.

——He was very confident, and believed that Duke Huai would come to save him in the near future.

Because in another month, Emperor Yan's birthday will be the time they agreed to do it.

Li Zezhang still didn't know that King Huai used the money he and Xu Chang had embezzled to recruit soldiers in order to surround the imperial city, seek power and usurp the throne, and ascend the throne himself.

He always thought that the beauty who made Duke Huai furious back then was his daughter, the current good concubine, and later, the reason why Duke Huai insisted on not marrying and was alone until now was also because he still loved his daughter. .

From the beginning to the end, Li Zezhang believed that King Huai was helping Yan Wenzhi to fight for the position of the East Palace...even the highest position for the sake of the good concubine, and those soldiers and horses were also for the sake of being prepared for any mistakes in the future.

Back then, the reason why he got acquainted with Duke Huai was all due to the introduction of Duke Mu. Duke Mu and Duke Huai kept him in the dark and only regarded him as a chess piece responsible for collecting money.

At this moment, Mu Guogong's sudden downfall puts all the ministers in the court at risk, especially those ministers who were very close to Li Zezhang and Mu Guogong.

They were afraid that Li Zezhang's confession would also include their own, so they were trembling all day long, and they didn't even dare to show their anger when they went to court.

But they were frightened for a long time, but they didn't see Emperor Yan coming to ask him to blame again, so they put away their fear a little bit, but they were still cautious and worried.

Putting these aside, Yan Wenhao tried the case well this time. He pulled out all the cancers that had been entrenched in the court for many years at one time. It is a direct roll call, without any concealment of his praise and love for him.

Compared with Yan Wenhao's elation at this time, the current Yan Wenzhi has lost two senior members one after another, both of whom are his relatives, and the attitude of Jiang Xi, who has always been loyal, is temporarily unknown. , he himself did not like Emperor Yan...

It can be said that he was depressed and angry to the extreme.

On this day, after leaving court, Yan Wenzhi went straight to Concubine Liang's bedroom.

Yesterday, it was first reported that Mu Guogong was imprisoned, and then Li Zezhang committed suicide in fear of crime in prison. The Li family's wealth was wiped out overnight.

Hurrying all the way, after about half an hour, Yan Wenzhi arrived outside the palace.

Concubine Liang's bedroom was extremely magnificently decorated, just like her personality, flamboyant and hot.

On the bed, Concubine Liang heard the report from the palace man and knew that Yan Wenzhi was coming, she immediately opened her eyes, a smile finally appeared on her weak and pale face, she tilted her head, and beckoned the eunuch beside her to help her up , and then ordered a maid to bring her a coat, and another maid to dress her up.

Seeing in the bronze mirror, the thick makeup covering her tired and weak face, Concubine Liang nodded in satisfaction, then quietly ordered a little eunuch to go out and invite Yan Wenzhi to come in.

Leaning on the bed with a tired expression, Concubine Liang raised the corner of her mouth when she saw Yan Wenzhi walking quickly, "Zhier, are you here?"

"Mother Concubine, my child heard that you were ill, are you feeling better now?"

Concubine Liang's spirit was really bad, even though she had put on makeup just now, the thick makeup still couldn't conceal her red, swollen eyes and tired expression.

Walking to the side of the bed, Yan Wenzhi turned his eyes around Concubine Liang, and after seeing the bloodshot eyes and exhaustion in Concubine Liang's eyes, he frowned, hesitated for a while, and comforted him: "Death cannot be resurrected, and now Grandfather has passed away, mother and concubine, you should mourn."

Although Yan Wenzhi said comforting words, his attitude, tone, and even words were extremely indifferent, without any emotion——

He didn't feel sad at all about Li Zezhang's death, he even said he didn't feel anything.

In fact, Yan Wenzhi didn't have much affection for Li Zezhang. Yan Wenzhi was the prince and grandson of the emperor. He grew up in the palace since he was a child, but Li Zezhang was just a courtier. He just happened to be the biological father of Concubine Liang. , so it happened to take the name of Yan Wenzhi's grandfather.

Nothing else matters.

If we talk about meeting, it's just that Concubine Liang takes Yan Wenzhi to meet Li Zezhang in a hurry every New Year's festival, other than that, the two of them never meet again, let alone meet each other.

It was only later that Yan Wenzhi reached the age and began to participate in the government. He needed the power of the court, and the two of them began to have contact. .

Of course, Yan Wenzhi also knew that Li Zezhang also wanted to use him to get the power and wealth he wanted.

He has no affection for Li Zezhang, his relatives at all.

What's more, this time, before Li Zezhang died, he inexplicably wrote a confession letter, pulling out a Northwest military pay corruption case that had been closed for many days, biting out Mu Guogong, and causing his camp to lose again. He killed an important minister and suffered heavy losses, which really made him very angry.

If Li Zezhang hadn't hanged himself to death, Yan Wenzhi really wanted to go to the prison in person and question him face to face, what is his intention? !

"Zhi'er, he is your grandfather after all." Concubine Liang frowned slightly, and softly accused her.

Glancing at Concubine Liang's expression, Yan Wenzhi tensed his face, nodded slightly, and then changed the subject and said, "Concubine Mother, do you know that it was grandfather who wrote a confession letter before he was alive, and sent Mu Guogong to Into the dungeon?"

The smile on her face collapsed, Concubine Liang lowered her eyes, raised her hand and wiped the tear-wet corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, the eye sockets were still a little red and swollen, "I know."

By now, she probably guessed the reason why her father would do this.

The first is the sudden reconciliation of his mother, and the second is probably that Mu Guogong is unwilling to save him from prison because he is unwilling to save him.

He didn't want to die alone, that's why he dragged Mu Guogong into the water and let Mu Guogong die with him. In the underworld, there are also people who accompany him.

Concubine Liang would be angry and resentful only if she guessed the reason. She really didn't understand why her father would be so disregarding the current situation and her aspirations. Gong, harmed her Zhi'er, and damaged a minister for no reason.

...and let Yan Wenyuan and Concubine Degui watch the joke for no reason.

However, Li Zezhang is Concubine Liang's father after all. At this moment, Li Zezhang's sudden death still makes Concubine Liang very sad, and her heart is filled with anger, she blames others for her mistakes, and all her reason disappears.

A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, Concubine Liang suppressed the look in her eyes, she clenched her teeth, her cheeks were sore and sore due to too much force on her teeth: "Zhi'er, this revenge, concubine mother must avenge it! "

"It's natural!"

Yan Wenzhi's eyes spewed fire, his canthus cracked, he clenched his fists with his face twisted, and said viciously: "All of this is the fault of Yan Wenyuan and Yan Wenhao, if it weren't for them two, my grandfather would not have been kicked out. He will not be imprisoned, and he will not end up in prison, and he will not write down the confession, causing me to lose Mu Guogong, a general..."

"It's both of them, it's all of them—" Yan Wenzhi gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "I will never let them go easily, I want them, and pay the price they deserve! "

Hearing this, Concubine Liang showed worry, and she couldn't help asking: "Zhier, what do you think?"

A flash of killing intent flashed in his eyes, Yan Wenzhi moved his head towards Concubine Liang, and told Concubine Liang about Luo Yu and his plan in a low voice.

He stopped, took a sip of water, and quenched his thirst. Yan Wenzhi slowly finished his last words: "...Once something happens to Yan Wenhao, Father will definitely investigate it to the end. At that time, our people Then he will put all the blame on Yan Wenyuan, and because the emperor loves Yan Wenhao, and with such solid evidence, he will definitely deal with Yan Wenyuan."

This move kills two birds with one stone, it solved both Yan Wenhao and Yan Wenyuan.His tone was full of confidence, as if he could already see the end of Yan Wenhao and Yan Wenyuan.

After hearing these words, Concubine Liang's eyes flickered, she hesitated for a while, shook her head, and said slowly: "At this juncture, if Yan Wenhao has an accident in this way, even if in the end, all the evidence will point to Yan Wen Yuan, but with His Majesty's suspicious temperament, because of this, he will have other doubts in his heart, he will have reservations, and maybe he will not really severely punish Yan Wenyuan."

"What do you think, concubine mother, what should I do?" Yan Wenzhi asked aloud, frowning.

He couldn't bear this breath no matter what, he wanted Yan Wenhao to die and Yan Wenyuan to lose everything!

Concubine Liang looked at Yan Wenhao lovingly, smiled at him, and said with a hint of worry in her tone, "Zhi'er, you shouldn't come forward about this matter. Concubine Mother knows what's on your mind, and Concubine Mother is no different. But your method is too risky, once something goes wrong, you will lose everything, you can't make any more accidents... Now, Concubine Mu, you are the only one left."

After a pause, Concubine Liang pondered for a while, and after a while, she parted her red lips lightly, but what she uttered were extremely vicious words: "If you want to get rid of Yan Wenhao, Concubine Mother has her own way."

Back then, it was because they were too soft-hearted and didn't cut the grass and roots, and only used a little poison on Yan Wenhao at that time, so Yan Wenhao lived to the extreme, leaving behind hidden dangers, and such a change occurred.

Yan Wenzhi heard the words and couldn't help asking: "What can the concubine mother do?"

Concubine Liang sneered, her eyes were cold, and her delicate face was full of ruthlessness and murderous intent: "Yan Wenhao and I are both in the palace now. Although his body has recovered, he still needs to recover." Medication..."

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Liang stopped continuing, she changed her subject, turned to look at Yan Wenzhi, slowed down her tone, and carefully instructed: "Zhi'er, I will do it for you." But, now, you just need to wait quietly, and then think about how to please His Majesty."
