Difficult for a son-in-law

Lin Chunfeng felt that he had a bright future, the emperor had not returned yet, and the country's major affairs were difficult to decide. How could the throne hang in the air? He was ready to unite with several ministers to propose a proposal to be the crown prince.

Besides his brother-in-law, who else is worthy of the throne?

It can be said that before closing time, Lin Chunfeng is still dreaming of being a master, he has contributed a lot for the second prince, can he be named a marquis in the future?

Lin Chunfeng's death was completely painless.The assassin's knife was fast and accurate, and the blood sprayed from the artery covered the front of his clothes, which was extremely bloody.

That night, the Lin family set up white lanterns, men, women and children cried loudly, and Princess Yao'an cried so many times that she passed out.Lin Chunfeng's father, Lin Ye, was stunned when he heard the news of his son's death. He locked himself in his study and could not see anyone or speak.

In the early court, Feng Minglan angrily demanded that the Ministry of Justice track down the murderer, and even wanted to grant the Lin family a marquis.

Ming Zhan objected, "Second brother, the title of official position is always not rewarded for meritorious service. Although Lord Lin died unexpectedly, it is a pity that he suffered such unforeseen misfortune at a young age. However, if Lord Lin was granted a title because of Lord Lin's accidental death, then In the future, if a courtier dies again, what should we do? The second emperor cherishes his uncle's feelings, and Ming Zhan feels his sorrow for the meeting of a good minister. However, Ming Zhan believes that it is better to be cautious about bestowing a title."

Ming Zhan's words were supported by many upright ministers. It was originally, ah, he did his best!Marquis?Why?People come and go with knives and fire, and Shajiang has lived and died several times, but the result is nothing but a feudal lord?Now this person surnamed Lin is purely in the favor of the second prince. He is your second prince's brother-in-law, who doesn't know!

Ha, I'm partial to Yue's family before I'm enthroned!After ascending the throne, is there any way for others to survive?

It has to be said that in history, courtiers often looked down on their relatives, but there is actually another reason for jealousy.

Feng Minglan's face turned cold, and she calmed down quickly, and said in a gentle voice, "It was my king who was sad for a while, and brother Zhan reminded me that it was justified. Then, the Ministry of Criminal Justice must hurry up and investigate, and I must give this king and the court an explanation within two months! How can a first-rank official die in vain! If someone dares to assassinate a first-rank official today, will even this king dare to assassinate tomorrow! Who will take these troublesome people seriously!"

Ming Zhan praised with a smile, "Brother Huang thinks so, it's really a great kindness. It's a blessing for all officials, and a blessing for the whole country."

Feng Minglan glanced at Ming Zhan, and said flatly, "Brother Zhan has won the prize."

Early morning.

Feng Minglan and Ming Zhan left first, Feng Minglan sighed regretfully, "Ming Zhan and I can reach consensus on many things. Only on this matter, we have disagreements, what a pity?"

Lin Chunfeng lost his life, although Feng Minglan was angry, but if Lin Chunfeng could be exchanged for Ming Zhan to be on the same side as him, it would not be impossible to give up.

At this moment, the sun was just rising, and the weather was extremely bright. The sun stretched the shadows of the two of them very long. Ming Zhan squinted his eyes and said warmly, "There are some people who cannot be let down."

Feng Minglan looked straight ahead and said casually, "Ming Zhan has been here for a long time. If you miss Yunnan, you can go back first. It is the same to leave Ming Li and Ming Lian. Gong, there are heavy soldiers in the camp. Ming Zhan is so happy there, saying what he says, and how happy he is." Feng Minglan also has an estimate for himself, and with his current strength, he can't move Ming Zhan.Since he can't move, it's better to push Ming Zhan back, so that Ming Zhan won't get in the way and be an eyesore here.

"I don't want to hide from the second brother, I also have the same intention." Ming Zhan sighed, "Mingli and Minglian will ask the second brother to take care of it."

"It's natural."

"In the future, when the second brother ascends the throne, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to congratulate him." No matter what, Ming Zhan hated Feng Minglan's cruelty.Although the status of the two may be different, Ming Zhan also has his own self-esteem.

"We are brothers, so there is no need to worry about these details."

Before Ming Zhan and Feng Minglan walked out of the palace, a little eunuch ran over with the wind under his feet, knelt on the ground with a plop, smacked his head on the ground three times, and cried, "Your Highness, Madam Ruan and Fifth Highness Dead, the Empress Dowager invites Your Highness to come over."

Both Ming Zhan and Feng Minglan saw the astonishment in each other's eyes, Ming Zhan took the lead and said, "Brother Erhuang has something to do, so go first, and wait for the arrangement in my mansion, and then come and say goodbye to Brother Erhuang."

Feng Minglan nodded slightly, "Then I'll go there first."

Concubine Ruan committed suicide with a sharp knife in her heart.

It is easy to add flowers to the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. The wall is overthrown and everyone is pushing, not to mention Ruan Concubine's original enemy is Feng Minglan's mother, Concubine Wei.

Feng Mingxuan has been sick since his mother was demoted, but he couldn't even invite a decent doctor.After the imperial physician confirmed that the fifth prince was just waiting for time, Concubine Ruan collapsed completely. She gave her son a ride first, and then committed suicide.

Even though Wei Ning had gone through the incident of the first emperor's conquest of his heir, and as a mature politician, he would inevitably be furious at the inaction of the Queen Mother Wei and the Concubine Wei. The concubine is wrong again! What is wrong with the fifth prince! The fifth prince is still your grandson! The emperor is trapped outside, and the empress dowager just looks after the emperor’s house and guards the children and grandchildren? One third prince committed suicide, and one fifth prince died! Wait for the emperor in the future Come back, what face does the empress dowager have to tell the emperor, your sons are all dead!"

Empress Dowager Wei burst into tears, "I don't know, and no one explained to me about Xi's illness."

Concubine Wei advised Wei Ning, "What's the matter with you? It was Concubine Ruan who killed her son, what has it to do with the Queen Mother! Don't rely on the Queen Mother's good temper, and just don't know the rules like this!"

Wei Ning shook off Concubine Wei, and said coldly, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know! Then I'll ask you whose harem is in your hands! Don't tell me you don't know either! The imperial concubine, what a noble concubine! Just you Virtue! You are worthy of being a noble concubine! A concubine! You are also worthy of being a concubine!" Wei Ning has always used high-handed methods, and he hates such low-level and useless methods.Killing a Fifth Prince and Concubine Ruan Gui will not have any effect other than chilling the hearts of the courtiers and royal relatives!Wei Guifei's actions made Wei Ning unable to restrain the anger in his heart, and directly exploded.

"Shut up!" Concubine Wei Gui felt pain in the center of the stabbing, and a slap fell on Wei Ning's face. Her beautiful face was a bit distorted. She said viciously, "I did it, what's wrong! The emperor came back, too. This way! People are not for themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed! I have done everything, but it is a pity that you are such a sensible person, why did you take the surname Wei! You have the ability, first help Minglan to the throne, and then come and shout at me! Minglan Lan can't be the emperor, we all have to die! Have you seen Mingyi? If someone says kill him, kill him! That's my nephew, you don't feel sorry for me! Go tell Feng Mingzhan, Mingyi's death, I will It's not over with him!"

"If you dare to touch Ming Zhan, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit on the throne of the Queen Mother, and you will have to enter the cold palace." Wei Ning stared at Concubine Wei and said, "Think about it carefully, although the Ruan family is guilty, but they have not yet cut the marquis, You cut Ruan Concubine and the fifth prince's life in the palace first! You haven't read a few books, so I'll tell you about Emperor Suzong's abolishment of the vassal. He was also the eldest son of Empress Xiaomin, and there was no fault. He was ambitious and wanted to cut off the fiefdom of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. After two years of war with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, what happened in the end? Empress Xiaomin established the emperor with one hand, and she has to abolish it with one hand! Then establish the son of Concubine Zheng—— The king of Chu is the emperor! You better know how many bowls of dry rice you eat, you dare to touch him! You think he is in the imperial capital now you dare to touch him! The one who controls the military power in Yunnan is his own sister, even if he dies, Ming Liming It's just a dream for Lian to take power! Once he dies in your hands, let alone you are not the queen mother, even if you are the queen mother, you have to pay for your life to the Zhennan palace!"

Wei Ning's eyes were full of incomparable anger, and he roared and asked, "You occupy the position of noble concubine and gave birth to the eldest son, what are you dissatisfied with! Do you really think that the emperor will not come back? You have such a brain, how dare you get involved?" Politics! You are not satisfied with the fact that the Wei family has no descendants, are you? You think the second prince’s position is too secure, don’t you! You are right, I committed crimes in my life and became your brother!"

"Shut up, the imperial grandmother is going to make you faint from arguing." Since Feng Jingqian's fall, Feng Minglan has gradually become the leader, and she has really cultivated a bit of a hard heart.Coming out from Concubine Ruan, Feng Minglan naturally went straight to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and saw that there was a commotion here, after listening for a while, the Wei family siblings didn't intend to stop talking, and only spoke to remind them.

The maid in the house had been driven away a long time ago, Feng Minglan poured a cup of tea herself, and served the Empress Dowager Wei to eat, the Empress Dowager Wei took a breath, and then cried mournfully, "It's about the fifth son, complain I, blame me..."

Wei Ning gave Concubine Wei a cold look, and said nothing.

Feng Minglan lost Lin Chunfeng's help, now she naturally turned her mind to Wei Ning, this is his own uncle, no matter how hard she scolded, it was because of worry and because everyone was relatives.

What's more, Wei Ning is shrewd and capable, and he is also the secretary of the household department, so his methods are better than Lin Chunfeng's.

Regardless of the reason for the Fifth Prince's death, now Feng Minglan was on the verge of riding a tiger, gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to go all the way to the dark.

"Uncle, the matter of the fifth child has already happened, and it is useless to worry about right and wrong," Feng Minglan said softly, "Ming Zhan told me this morning that he wants to return to Yunnan sooner, and I have agreed."

Enduring the anger in his stomach, Wei Ning thought for a while with steely nerves, nodded and said, "Your Highness is wise, it is naturally in the best interest of His Highness that the son can leave the imperial capital at this time."

Feng Minglan was overjoyed and hesitated, "Father has not returned, someone must come out to take care of things."

Wei Ning sighed, frowned and said, "Your Highness, although I can't agree with the actions of the imperial concubine, it is impossible for me to favor others! Even if it is the fourth prince, it is impossible for the imperial concubine to become the empress dowager. I will leave a sliver of affection for the Wei family, the fourth prince, but I am not sure about it. So, your Highness, don't think about what I say next."

"The emperor has been trapped for nearly two months, and eight out of ten people think that the emperor will never come back." Wei Ning said, "I know Ruan Hongfei very well, he will not kill the emperor so easily. In the end , the emperor will definitely return! If your highness is in a hurry to ascend the throne, where will you put your father-son relationship with the emperor! When the emperor comes back, how will your highness deal with himself!"

Feng Minglan suppressed her smile, and asked seriously, "Uncle is so sure, so uncle thinks that Ruan Hongfei will let Father Emperor go?"

"Your Highness, even if a person's temperament really changes, he will retain a certain degree of authenticity. I have [-]% confidence in Ruan Hongfei." Wei Ning reminded, "Your Highness, don't forget the Zhennan Palace, is Ming Zhan a fool? Why? Why does he keep saying he wants to save people? Don’t you really believe his theory of "father and son love". Your Highness, let’s not talk about how the prince treated him. Since he is so kind, why don’t you think about him and Mingyi? What about the 'brotherhood'? Your Highness, you are too gullible."

"If he was not sure, why did Ming Zhan so readily agree to His Royal Highness to go back to Yunnan?" Wei Ning said disappointedly, "If the Emperor is allowed to return from Yunnan, where will His Highness put his face? Not to mention His Highness, it is the imperial concubine and empress, the Emperor will investigate Considering the cause of the fifth prince's death, do you think you can escape? That is also the emperor's own son!"

Concubine Wei knew that she was afraid at this moment, she covered her face with her sleeves, and sobbed, "I'm not an imperial doctor, who would have thought of that."

Wei Ning was so annoyed by her that his eyes went dark, he didn't even have the strength to stand up, his brain became dizzy for a short time, his body went limp, and he fell down. It took a long time before he heard Feng Minglan call him, "Uncle, uncle, you What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Wei Ning was supported by Feng Minglan and sat down in the chair. He gathered his spirits, held Feng Minglan's hand, and said earnestly, "Your Highness, you four brothers will go to the other in a blink of an eye. The emperor knows How heartbreaking it must be. Now that there are hundreds of officials in the court, His Highness should seize the time to properly handle political affairs in order to be recognized by them. I have been with you for many years, and I know a thing or two about the emperor's heart. In the emperor's heart, nothing is as good as The government is important. The four princes avoided Zhenguo Temple, which is actually a very stupid move. Killing and decisiveness is a means that any superior should have. Your Highness, please be patient. The emperor only has you two princes left, and he is reluctant to move Yours? Think about it, even if the emperor returns safely, if you compare it with the fourth prince, will he be the fourth prince who eats fast and recites Buddha immediately?"

"Back then, how did the emperor win the throne? Based on what I know about him, he would never install a prince who avoids trouble." Wei Ning said earnestly, "Your Highness, don't worry. After confirming the outcome of the emperor's safety, at that time The succession of the throne and the throne is a matter of course."

Feng Minglan nodded heavily, "I will listen to uncle."
