Chang Hanyu waited with his head down, with cold sweat all over his forehead, he didn't dare to look up at the prefect of Yunzhou beside him.

Yuan Yin stood on the gazebo and squinted at the magistrate of Yunzhou who was kneeling under the gazebo, and looked at Chang Hanyu who was standing on the other side of the gazebo, with a sneer on his lips, he stood up straight with his hands behind his back, slightly raised his jaw and said :

"Aiqing, get up. Just now, Zhenzhen talked about you with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, saying that you were forcibly taken away on the way to Beijing, which made Aiqing frightened."

"Ah? To report back to Your Majesty, I did encounter an assassin on the way to Beijing. Fortunately, Lord Chang had already made arrangements to save me and lead me to Beijing." Du Jintang immediately kowtowed and replied respectfully.

Yuan Yin frowned slightly, looked straight at Chang Hanyu, and asked with some doubts: "Chang Aiqing, didn't you say that you sent someone to look for it? Why did you say that it was already arranged, could it be that Chang Aiqing Did you know that someone would assassinate the prefect of Yunzhou?"

Chang Hanyu's face turned pale in an instant, he quickly looked up at Yuan Yin in surprise, and then saluted: "Report to Your Majesty, I...I don't know."

"The prefect of Yunzhou, tell me, who is the one who saved you?" Yuan Yin pointed to Du Jintang and said.

"The people who rescued the minister said they were sent by Mr. Chang." Du Jintang said earnestly.

When Du Jintang admitted so much, Chang Hanyu became even more nervous and trembling all over. The more Du Jintang admitted that the person who rescued him was sent by himself, the emperor would definitely investigate who the person who assassinated him was, and why? You will feel rescued immediately.

Yuan Yin nodded slightly, covered his lips and smiled slightly, just coughed lightly, and before he could open his mouth, a man in night clothes flew out from the tree in the garden of the Guoxuejian, holding a long sword and facing Du Jintang stabbed in the past.

Xiao Luzi panicked and took a step forward to protect Yuan Yin behind him, and shouted loudly: "Come here, there are assassins, protect Your Majesty, there are assassins, come here!"

The man in black didn't seem to see the emperor in the pavilion, but just stabbed Du Jintang with his long sword.

When Du Jintang heard that there was an assassin, he turned around quickly, but saw the cold blade coming towards him, so frightened that he rolled and crawled back to hide, his face was extremely ugly.

It's just that when the sword edge was about to approach Du Jintang, Zhan Feng appeared immediately, pushed aside the man in black's sword edge, and entangled and fought with him.

Chang Hanyu and Xiao Luzi protected Yuan Yin along the corridor and were about to leave. Unexpectedly, seeing them going, Du Jintang immediately got up and followed tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chang, wait for the next official!" , wait for the next officer."

The man in black saw that Du Jintang was going to run, he didn't bother with Zhan Feng, and ran towards Du Jintang, Du Jintang was so frightened that he yelled, Zhan Feng immediately went after him and stabbed him with his sword.

The blade stopped before Du Jintang's eyes, and the man in black stopped in front of Du Jintang. The long sword in his hand fell from his hand, and the bloody blade on his chest was dripping blood along the tip of the sword. He saw Looking at Chang Hanyu who was standing not far away, he said:

"The little one is responsible for the entrustment of the adults... I also ask the adults to forgive me."

Zhan Feng drew back the bloody long sword, and the man in black immediately fell in front of Du Jintang. Du Jintang's face was pale with fright, and his crotch was also wet. The last sentence of the man in black before he died: I owe you my lord's entrustment...

Du Jintang thought that the man in black was looking past him at that time, so what he was looking at was the person behind him, he turned his head slowly, and stared straight at Yuan Yin, with a surprised expression on his face. Hanyu.

Because the emperor was frightened, the guards in the palace immediately surrounded the Superintendent of Guoxue, and Zhan Feng immediately ordered someone to carry the man in black out. In front of him: "Humble and incompetent, let an assassin break into the National Academy, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Yuan Yin's face was gloomy, and his tone contained anger: "Of course I want to punish, but my assassin wants to know who dares to assassinate in my palace!"

Hearing what the emperor said, Du Jintang's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, thinking of something, he quickly turned around and knelt down to Yuanyin and said: "Help, Your Majesty, help, Your Majesty."

"Prefect, get up and talk. I also saw that the assassin was coming towards you. Tell me why he wanted to assassinate you." Yuan Yin asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, I think the prefect of Yunzhou offended someone in Yunzhou." Chang Hanyu hurried forward and said to Yuan Yin, but unexpectedly, Du Jintang quickly said:

"No, Your Majesty, no, just before the man in black said before he died, he was entrusted by his lord, and he is clearly not from Yunzhou."

Chang Hanyu wanted to defend again, but Yuan Yin asked: "What? He actually said such a thing? Zhanfeng, did you hear that?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no lowly position." Zhan Feng replied earnestly, cupping his fists.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is true, I heard it clearly, Your Majesty, the person who wants to assassinate the minister must be someone from the court, Your Majesty." Du Jintang hurriedly said in a panic.

"Jiang Aiqing, you can make it clear that you will lose your head if you falsely accuse the imperial court officials like this." Yuan Yin said coldly with a dark face.

"What... Jiang... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Du Jintang was speechless when he heard the emperor calling him Jiang Aiqing, and looked at Yuan Yin blankly.

Yuan Yin pretended to be relaxed, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Jiang Aiqing? On the birthday of the late emperor, Jiang Aiqing gave the late emperor a musk moon guqin. The late emperor loved it very much, and specially rewarded you with a pair of words. I saw the handwriting written by the first emperor with my own eyes and gave it to Jiang Shao, the magistrate of Yunzhou, and I still remember that the calligraphy was written by the poets of the previous dynasty. Why, Jiang Aiqing doesn’t remember?”

Du Jintang froze in place at Yuan Yin's question at this time, and didn't know how to answer, but just cast a look at Chang Hanyu asking for help.

However, at this moment, Chang Hanyu couldn't protect himself, he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he didn't open his mouth, and just turned a blind eye to Du Jintang.

"What's wrong with Jiang Aiqing? You haven't told me which adult in the court is going to assassinate you." Yuan Yin asked again hastily.

Although Yuan Yin's tone was slightly soft, it sounded like thunder in Du Jintang's ears. His ears were ringing and his eyes were dazzled, and he didn't know where he was at all.

I thought that the emperor summoned him to Beijing simply to reward him, but who would have thought that he would encounter an assassin as soon as he left Yunzhou, and after being rescued by someone, he would be treated inhumanly. He didn't say a word about the order of the man, so how could there be assassins who sneaked into the palace to assassinate him?

Unexpectedly, the emperor knew who the magistrate of Yunzhou was. Now if he pretended to be Jiang Shaoying and sent Yuan Yin down, he might have something waiting for him, but now if he didn't admit that he was It's Jiang Shao, how can I survive?

Du Jintang kept bowing his head in silence, trembling like a sieve, but in Yuan Yin's eyes, it was extremely funny, and then he asked with concern: "Jiang Aiqing, tell me who is going to assassinate you, and who are you?" Whoever offended you, tell me, I will make the decision for you!"

"Chen...Chen..." Du Jintang raised his eyes and glanced at the young emperor in front of him. His eyes were clear, and he didn't look like a tiger. He thought carefully in his mind, and made up his mind to recognize Jiang Shao. identity:

"I don't know, it's just that the man in black said that he was entrusted by the Lord, so I think it should be done by the Lord in the court."

Yuan Yin responded lightly, then stood up straight, snorted slightly, then looked at Chang Hanyu at the side and asked: "Chang Aiqing, what do you think? Who would want to assassinate Jiang Zhifu?"

"I...don't know." Chang Hanyu immediately replied with a salute.

"Before you were able to predict and save Jiang Aiqing, could it be a mistake?" Yuan Yin asked again.

Chang Hanyu was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer Yuan Yin's words.

When the first emperor was around, even though Yuan Yin was a crown prince and often came to listen to the government, he had no opinion after all. As long as anyone flattered him or said something reasonable, he would trust anyone. He didn't know that after he became the emperor, But this mind is so vivid that everything must be investigated to the bottom.

He was the one who sent someone to assassinate Du Jintang, and he didn't know the person who rescued Du Jintang, and the person who rescued Du Jintang not only didn't instigate him to bite him, but it was as he said before, but this Yuan Yin asked Who is he who wants to assassinate, he can only save him in time if he knows, he really can't tell.

"Chen...Chen..." Chang Hanyu cupped his fists, unable to speak a word.

"Since that's the case, then I won't ask any more questions, but I still can't forgive the person who wants to assassinate Jiang Aiqing lightly. I must investigate to the end. By the way, Jiang Aiqing, I heard that you have a daughter who is about the same age as me, is that right?" Yuan Yin rolled his eyes, and quickly turned around to look at Du Jintang and asked.

Du Jintang was silent for a while, then quickly said: "Yes, I have a daughter, eighteen this year, named Xinlan."

When the emperor asked such a question, Du Jintang naturally understood in his heart that Jiang Shao's daughter was very familiar to him, how could he not know, so when the emperor asked, he answered fluently in order to prove his identity.

"So, I'm relieved. Before that, there was a maid in the Hanlin Scholars' Mansion, named Jiang Xinlan, who claimed to be from Yunzhou. Save me, I know he was wronged, now that you are here, take your daughter back." Yuan Yin walked slowly to the side stone table and sat down, and said to Du Jintang.

By the way, he also ordered Xiao Luzi to call Jiang Xinlan.

Du Jintang was secretly delighted, and suddenly felt that being assassinated today was not a bad thing. He knew that Jiang Xinlan was in the capital, and he heard the news from Fang He that he was in the Imperial Academy. Keep Jiang Xinlan steady, then he will be able to escape unscathed, and even embrace the beauty back home.

At this moment, Jiang Xinlan, who has been waiting outside the National Academy of Sciences, walked over slowly under the leadership of Xiaoluzi, knelt down under the gazebo, and respectfully saluted: "Minister Jiang Xinlan, I greet Your Majesty. Long live the emperor, long live, long live."
