Mrs. Mo said he would not agree

This awaits him.But that's all for Zhang Qianzhao, Mo Jingchun... They don't have the courage to arrange things related to him.

Rather, the reason why they focused on this pair of siblings in the first place was because of the incident on West Street.

"Go ahead, act more discreetly, and don't cause trouble." Yuan Heming bit the belt, and finally took out the fire bag from his arms, "Then, you guys, follow me down."

Yuan Heming continued to walk deep into the stone path while covering his nose and coughing.

...

Three days later, Dou's collection of books, which had been silent for a long time, made new progress.

But this time, the number of books recovered was actually one-half of all the lost Dou's collections.

The person who found this new batch of Dou's collection of books was a person that no one could have imagined.

——Yuan Heming.

When Mo Jingchun heard this name, he felt that His Majesty must have some bad idea.

But the most pitiful person was Zhang Qianzhao.

The Jingzhao Mansion took people with great pleasure, and transported all the files in the car to the Imperial Academy.The number of this batch is much larger than the previous ones. Coupled with the previous "Yun Sheng Ji", Dou sent people over early, for fear that such a disaster would happen again.

Zhang Qianzhao scolded Yuan Heming in his heart for cheating, but he forced a smile on his face and sent the things in.

Then check with the people in Jingzhao Mansion one by one.

Originally, the number of checks was only approximate, about how many cars, how many things, how many boxes, and the estimated quantity, etc., they would never really check one by one.But with the "Yun Sheng Ji" in front, Mrs. Dou urged the people in the Jingzhao Mansion to observe and study carefully. It took more than half a month to barely count the bibliography with the help of the Imperial Academy.

And Huangtian pays off, there are indeed a few treasures here that can rival "The Collection of Yunsheng".

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the Quartet.

Even officials who had previously focused their attention on the instability of the government could not help but distract their attention from this matter.Fortunately, both the Hanlin Academy and the Dou family have made great preparations after the previous wave, so they will not be in such a hurry as before.

In two days, the verdict of the attack on the emperor, which attracted much attention, finally came down.

For special matters, especially when His Majesty is involved, officials from any department dare not neglect.Since His Majesty had such a big event, he frequently asked about the progress just after waking up. This undoubtedly wanted an answer.While Xue Qing strictly obeyed the law, he also dug a lot out of their mouths.

But none of these can be shown on the surface, due to their caution, they did not leave much evidence.

You can't say something without evidence, but this is enough for Xue Qing.Cao Liu's identity means that his confession is completely credible.And those children of officials and eunuchs from aristocratic families who confessed their crimes also signed and pledged their confessions, which is already certain evidence.

Combining the confession and testimony of Beck and others, it can also prove that this matter is not only the cooperation of these young children, but also has something to do with the Mingchun rebels. The combination of the two, even if there is not enough physical evidence, is enough to convict.

All the prisoners involved were sentenced to death.

No matter which side it is.

Even Cao Liu is the same.

Princess Rongxi fainted immediately when she heard the news.But when she woke up again, even though she couldn't help crying, she still had to praise His Majesty for his kindness.

Because Emperor Zhengshi did not implicate the families of these prisoners.

Of course, those who should be beaten and scolded should be scolded, but in the end, only those detained in the sky jail will be sentenced to death.

Emperor Zhengshi's approval of this judgment also means that these people will all be sent to the guillotine three days later.

Originally, criminals who committed capital crimes had a fixed time to be executed, but seeing what His Majesty meant, he wanted to finish everything before the end of the year, so this date was also set in Xiaonian.

A day that looks festive, but full of chilling spirit.

Mo Jingchun went to the vegetable market that day.

However, for such things, it seems that if they are not placed on the brightest side to deter them, it is not enough to publicize the harm involved.Mo Jingchun stood in the crowd, listening to the whispers of the people, watching Cao Liu being dragged out of the prison car in fear, and then pressed to the first place.

He heard Princess Rongxi's cry.

He saw Chen Wenxiu's disguised figure.

He saw Lin Huan kneeling down with a calm face.

He couldn't see any descendants of the family appearing here.

It seemed that all of this was just an extremely ordinary punishment.

Mo Jingchun stopped and looked at it for a long time, and when the crowd dispersed, he walked out leisurely with ink marks.Chen Wenxiu didn't leave either. She was wearing a mask, so her expression couldn't be seen, but her emotions could be seen from the slightly frowned brows and restless limbs.

"The girl is waiting for me here?"

Mo Jingchun invited her into the carriage, Mohen and Liu Hong both knelt and sat at the door of the carriage, observing the outside carefully.

Chen Wenxiu said hesitantly, "Lin Huan, was he really killed?"

Mo Jingchun: "Lin Huan is really dead."

At least on the surface, so.

He also had a judgment in his mind about the reason why Chen Wenxiu appeared here, it seemed that he came here for Lin Huan, "How did the girl and him meet?"

Chen Wenxiu didn't deal with Mo Jingchun many times, but she also knew that he spoke very frankly, even if he was cautious, he would not beat around the bush, and said what he had to say, which made her feel more convinced.

She told about her chance meeting with Lin Huan and her plans one by one.

"...I have resigned those gentlemen and plan to find another gentleman."

Mo Jingchun nodded, and said calmly: "Young lady is absolutely right."

Chen Wenxiu was worried at first, but when she heard Mo Jingchun's words, she smiled, "Actually, I was also hesitant before, after all, these teachers' standards are very good, but for women's colleges, their attitude is not good. Cooperate. If you insist on staying, it will be a waste of sister Meng Huai's money."

Mo Jingchun: "The girl has done a good job. She is in her position to seek her own government. If she has no intention of doing things, she will naturally be expelled."

Chen Wenxiu was happy in her heart, but when she thought about what happened to Lin Huan, she became depressed again.

She scratched her hair, without the slightest gesture of a lady.But Mo Jingchun felt that she was more at ease from her sloppy movements.Compared with Chen Wenxiu's appearance of a noble girl in the past, now she is more willful and lively.

Mo Jingchun was thoughtful, His Majesty has always been serious about the difference, so this is it?

On Chen Wenxiu's side, she thought about the entangled things more or less, and said suddenly: "Shang Shu, I don't understand something, and I want to ask Shang Shu to clarify."

Mo Jingchun said with a faint smile: "Girl, please tell me."

Chen Wenxiu said hesitantly: "Bixi executed this group of people this time. Although the number is a bit large and it is heartbreaking, why not investigate thoroughly?"

Mo Jingchun: "You are very sharp."

Chen Wenxiu waved her hands repeatedly, shook her head and said, "I'm not sharp, I just feel that this seems to be a little... not in line with His Majesty's usual behavior."

Mo Jingchun couldn't help but frown slightly, and said with a smile: "Then what should His Majesty look like in the girl's heart on weekdays?"

"Let's not talk about the murderous act of implicating the nine clans, but implicating the three clans and dismissing them from office should be something, right?" Chen Wenxiu said this definitely not because she supported such behavior.

But the strange place is, after all, strange.

Mo Jingchun said slowly: "The girl guessed right, this is just a well-known transaction between His Majesty and the nobles of the family."

Chen Wenxiu frowned, "A deal?"

Mo Jingchun nodded: "The deal is true."

But Mo Jingchun could only stop there and stop talking.

When Chen Wenxiu got off the carriage, she was still in a daze. She looked at the plaque in front of her. She had already returned to the Women's Academy.She stood at the door in a daze for a moment, looked at Liu Hong beside her and said, "Am I stupid?"

She felt that Mo Jingchun had reminded her, but Chen Wenxiu still couldn't figure it out.

Liu Hong leaned forward and said: "The girl's words are self-effacement. It's just that you seldom experience these intrigues, so you can't notice it for a while. The meaning of the Shangshu is that your majesty traded the 'not to pursue' things in exchange for those things. The family with wolfish ambitions can rest assured that they are in peace with each other."

Chen Wenxiu frowned slightly, and suddenly said: "Is it that kind... When the dust settles, there are always some ministers who used to give and receive privately with the enemy, and the emperor chose to burn all the letters. Understand the meaning of not pursuing it anymore? And those courtiers who were originally frightened would be grateful to His Majesty for this?"

Liu Hong: "The truth is similar. Where did you hear this story?"

This also makes sense.

Chen Wenxiu paused, but didn't think about it for a while.

Just when she heard Liu Hong say it, Chen Wenxiu suddenly remembered this allusion.

"...But in this story, it was the letters with solid evidence that were burned, but in reality, it was the lives of people who were killed." Chen Wenxiu said with a sigh.

Liu Hong said calmly: "They deserve to die."

Participating in the serious crime of treason and disobedience cannot escape the death penalty.

Chen Wenxiu said with a smile: "I know, I just lament the ruthlessness of their family. Since these people will be involved, it must not be their own behavior, but a hint from the family. But if something happens, they will be dead Pieces are pawns, you can throw them away at will.”

Speaking of this, Chen Wenxiu said curiously: "Then, how can His Majesty believe that these people won't bite back?"

Liu Hong smiled slightly, "This is His Majesty's ability, how could this servant know?"

Chen Wenxiu pursed her lips, thinking that Liu Hong must know.

She always felt that Liu Hong's talent and learning might not be just an ordinary servant girl.

And Emperor Zhengshi...

Whenever Chen Wenxiu thought of him, she felt a little frightened, so she naturally avoided not thinking about it.

Upward matters have nothing to do with her for the time being.

As long as the matter can disappear, that's all.

But after all, because of the news of Lin Huan's accident, Chen Wenxiu felt gloomy and somewhat unattractive.It wasn't until she returned to the women's academy and was surrounded by a group of students that she gradually forgot about it.

Liu Hong stood not far away, feeling relieved.

These people in the court are so angry, so daring to criticize Mo Jingchun, except for some people who are sincerely thinking about His Majesty and the government, how many people are actually more frightened in their hearts, and they are extremely aggressive?

They are not only afraid of Mo Jingchun, but also afraid of His Majesty's pursuit.

How can they feel at ease when things that seem to be sure are broken one by one from the Jiao family?

And treason is a serious crime that can implicate the nine clans.

The more they scolded Mo Jingchun, the host, into the quagmire, the more they revealed their guilt.Why didn't they scold Xue Qing who handled it?

Isn't it clear that if you scold the knife, why not scold the person holding the knife.

And this is exactly what they are worried about.

Those abandoned pawns, to them, are knives.

And they are precisely the ones who hold the knife.

Liu Hong lowered her head and slowly revealed a smile.

And threatening, intimidating, revealing a ferocious side...

This is exactly what Emperor Zhengshi is best at.

The courtiers are afraid that it has been a long time since the prince's still amiable appearance, and the face in his memory has been covered by the present Emperor Zhengshi a little bit.

If he really went crazy, there would still be room for maneuver.

However, Emperor Zhengshi was so crazy that he was justified, and his reason was still there. When he went out of line, he frightened people half to death, and when he was old and cunning, he made them beg for mercy again and again.

The emperor could afford it, and was willing to bring his family to be buried with him, but not only were they not barefoot, they were also wearing shoes, rich and noble, who would dare to bet with Emperor Zhengshi?

Things in this world are like this, whoever is more reluctant, who is more afraid of death... whoever is left behind.

But Mo Jingchun, who was separated from Chen Wenxiu, did not return to the official department, but went all the way to the imperial city.

In two more days, it will be New Year's Eve, when the courtiers will be on vacation, and some things will be easily covered up.He closed his eyes and sighed, tapped his fingers on his knees, and after a moment of silence, "Ink marks."

"exist."

He called Mohen over and said a few words in a low voice.

Mohen nodded and immediately got out of the carriage.

Then, the carriage entered the palace gate slowly.

...

"Crack-"

The queen mother is looking at the red plums she has pruned.

This flower arrangement is also a kind of thing that tempers the heart. She cut it here for half an hour before she could cut it into a decent shape, but she was also satisfied and happy in her heart.

When you have nothing to do, you have to do the same.

After all, there are not many people in the palace who can talk to her.

The previous concubines either had accidents or had enmity with her, not to mention meeting her, they felt unlucky when they thought about it, and there were others, but it was a good thing to live with their son in a fiefdom.If it was in the past, she could still talk to her family members. Since the Zhang family committed an incident, all the female relatives have lived in the temple. There is a gap.

Now all year round, there is not even a single person to talk to, no wonder the Empress Dowager regards the eldest prince as a treasure.

"What is the eldest prince doing?"

the queen mother asked.

Xiulin leaned forward and said, "Master Zheng is teaching the eldest prince."

In the morning, he studied with Zheng Mingchun, and in the afternoon, he went to practice martial arts.

Emperor Zhengshi did not treat the eldest prince badly in this respect.

The queen mother pondered, "The Zheng family, I remember something happened?"

"Yes, this time the Zheng family is also involved. Gu Daru asked His Majesty to resign yesterday, but His Majesty refused again." Xiulin said slowly.

The queen mother laughed, "Xu Boheng is still here, so how could Gu Liufang leave? Huang Zhenghe won't stay for long, and the Ai family is surprised that he can last until now."

She trimmed the more side, shook her head, "The Ministry of Rites is bright and beautiful, but it's not too much to interfere. It's okay to leave Huang Zhenghe there to rely on the old and sell the old." When Huang Zhenghe was mentioned, the queen mother thought of the former official Minister Wang Zhenming, and the Lin family related to him...

The eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Deming, and others may have followed suit today.

Before these people entered Beijing, their fate had already been decided.

Why those aristocratic families would be honest, dormant, and suppress all their thoughts without hesitation... It is because the Lin family has been completely destroyed.

A family of Yingchuan Lin who was well-known in the world more than ten years ago, just went like this during the years when Emperor Zhengshi ascended the throne... Even though there are various reasons on the surface, it is enough to show that the emperor is really serious. When making decisions, these are never taken into account.

The Lin family will decline, so will the other aristocratic families?

And among these people, how many of them are really selfless and able to use their strengths in one place?As long as one person is afraid, as long as one person is divided, this alliance cannot be formed again.

"Empress Dowager, King Wei asks to see you."

"Crack-"

The Queen Mother bowed her head angrily when she heard this, and as expected, the subconscious scissors directly cut off the branch.She pulled out this one and put it beside her, "Let him in."

Alas, the queen mother has a headache.

The king of Wei came to see her, what could be the matter?

Nothing more than those two or three things.

Supported by Xiu Lin, the Empress Dowager walked slowly towards the outer hall, the blankets under her feet were thick, and she walked quietly.The whole palace is heated by underfloor heating, making the Queen Mother's palace warm and not at all cold from the wind and snow outside.

As soon as King Wei came in, his nose and cheeks were flushed, but this little old man is tough, and he has been alive and kicking for the past two years.The eldest son was looking after his own fief, but he didn't care at all, and stayed in the capital for two consecutive years.

The king of Wei saluted respectfully, "I have seen the empress dowager."

The queen mother said helplessly: "Wei Wang doesn't need to be so polite, just sit down quickly." He was much older than the queen mother, and his trembling appearance was somewhat worrying.

King Wei sat down after receiving the Queen Mother's words.

He clasped his hands together, and as soon as this movement was performed, the Empress Dowager's eyes paused slightly, and she said with a light smile: "It's windy and snowy outside today, don't worry about freezing to death."

King Wei shook his head, "I am here this time because I have something important to discuss with the Queen Mother."

The empress dowager's heart moved, but she didn't show it on her face, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the emperor for being able to work so hard for you?"

"Exactly."

The queen mother frowned, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she held up the teacup, "The king of Wei is not going to play tricks, tell me quickly, what's the matter?" The well-maintained soft and beautiful face showed a puzzled expression.

King Wei said with a sullen expression, "The affair between Your Majesty and Mo Jingchun!"

As soon as the words came out, they were resounding.

The queen mother was silent, but she didn't expect that King Wei would enter the palace specially for this matter.

Where did this rumor come from?
