After [-] days of charges in the military payment case, He Bingrong not only tried his best to prove Chen Zhihe's innocence, but also tried his best to save He Renyuan's life.He knew that Liu Yin would make the "criminal evidence" committed by He Renyuan real, so he didn't spend any useless work, and didn't talk about his innocence at all. Extrajudicial mercy.

Emperor Hongxuan was moved by this, and exempted him from the death penalty, and exiled He Renyuan to the southwest border, where he served for three years.

He Renyuan was lucky enough to save his life, but Chen Zhihe blamed himself very much, thinking that if he hadn't been introduced to the official position by himself, why would he have suffered such a disaster, so he spent a lot of money, bought the prison guards along the way, and begged for a journey for him smooth.

After everything was settled properly, Chen Zhihe paid a solemn visit to He Bingrong.

The official career is dangerous, Chen Zhihe knew it well, and he decided not to visit the He Mansion in a stately place at this juncture of closing the case, but counting on the right time, he had a chance encounter with him in Jingwen Zhai.

On the fifteenth day of each month, Dongning Street Jinmo Wenzhai will always have new calligraphy treasures. He Bingrong always comes to buy them on a monthly basis.I came here a few days ago, but I didn't know that Chen Zhihe was waiting here, and he was still appreciating folk paintings as usual. He was looking at them when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. Yi Yi.

He Bingrong was surprised, put down the scroll in his hand, and stepped forward to help him up.

Chen Zhihe is not good at speaking eloquently, his gratitude can't be exaggerated, he just said: "Mr. He will repay Mr. Chen's kindness in the future."

He Bingrong was filled with emotion.

Afterwards, they went back and forth between the court and the court, and the two still communicated normally, just like the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

However, the turmoil did not stop, and although the military salary case was over, Liu Yin still used the topic to make use of the topic, admonishing Emperor Hongxuan to take precautions, eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, and investigate the crimes of dereliction of duty and private granting and acceptance.Emperor Hongxuan heard that it was reasonable, and ordered that the Ministry of Punishment handle it strictly. For a while, there was a lot of turmoil, from the imperial court down to the counties and counties, everyone was in danger.

He Bingrong suddenly realized, and only now did he fully understand that Liu Yin would make this move no matter whether he intervened or not in the case of military pay.

It is also this chess that is the key.

Liu Yin made a good move to fight cattle across the mountain. He angered Emperor Hongxuan with a mere prefect of Qisang. In addition, two ministers in the court fell before him. Emperor Hongxuan would not take it lightly twice in succession. He is famous as a teacher.When the oracle was in hand, Liu Yin turned his attention to him, the high-ranking Shang Shuling. He did not find out who he was in the previous secret investigation, so he didn't believe that he could escape this time with a large-scale investigation.

The wind left traces, and he had been an official for thousands of days and nights. Liu Yin didn't believe that He Bingrong didn't leave even half a footprint.

He Bingrong felt that he was upright, but for some reason he felt hesitant, and his eyelids kept twitching for no reason.He couldn't sleep at night, he got up with his clothes on, and sat with a single lamp until dawn. He couldn't think of any omissions, but there was always a vague phantom in the depths of his memory.

In a trance, the cold winter is gone, and when the first month comes, the gray magpie in Xu'an Palace suddenly disappears.

On the official road outside Beijing, a horse riding Juechen kicked his hooves and trampled on the mud, and galloped into Beijing with a scroll of old paintings.

Ping Huaizhen was woken up in the middle of the night by someone, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Chang standing by the side of the bed, lowering his voice and calling out to him in panic: "Prince, something happened to Young Master He!"

Thunder was rolling outside the hall, and the first shower of spring fell.

The whole family of the He Mansion was imprisoned because of two identical scrolls, one came from the southwestern border, and the other came from the He Mansion's study.In the painting, the frontier is magnificent. On the majestic city wall, the two stand shoulder to shoulder, looking at the vast territory.

Liu Yin led people to search the house at night and caught He Bingrong by surprise.

At that time, the painting scroll was displayed in front of his eyes. He Bingrong hadn't thought about the purpose of this painting until he saw what was painted in the painting with his own eyes.Reluctantly regretting that it was too late, Liu Yin spared no room for it, and immediately ordered all the elders and children of the He family to be taken into custody without missing a single one.

Ping Huaizhen broke into Fengyi Hall late at night, knelt in the dormitory and begged to see the queen.Thunder burst the sky, and it was raining heavily. Jiang Chang held an umbrella to protect him. Seeing that the paper umbrella was gradually unable to cover the wind and rain, he was afraid that the prince would get caught in the rain.

The movement in the courtyard disturbed the palace from time to time, the queen got up wearing a thick brocade robe, and heard the prince kneeling in the rain, fearing that he would freeze his knees outside, she hurriedly called him in, and scolded him very sadly: "I am only glad you It's breaking into Fengyi Hall, not disturbing your father's purity!"

Ping Huaizhen was reprimanded by her, but Guan complained: "I beg my mother to wash the He family's grievances!"

The sound of kowtowing in the middle of the night was clearly audible, the empress was heartbroken when she heard it, but she ruthlessly sat up straight and refused to help him, but Yantong couldn't bear to watch him, so she knelt aside and covered the crown prince's forehead with her hands.

The queen warned in a deep voice: "In my heart, the He family is very important. I don't know the cause of tonight's incident. If I can save the He family, I will definitely not ignore it, but if I can't... surrounded by dogs and dogs... Fu, the prince is no longer young, and he should understand the principle of not acting impulsively, so how can you act impulsively like tonight! You must know that your every move is in the eyes of others."

"My son is definitely not acting on his own will," Ping Huaizhen said with scarlet eyes, gnashing his teeth, "Liu Yin vainly tried to use a roll of old paintings to tarnish the He family's innocence... coveting the country and plotting rebellion are all capital crimes! Mr. He has been an official for many years , Loyalty can be used as a lesson, and you must not bear this unwarranted crime, look after your mother!"

"The crown prince said nothing, but does the emperor believe it?" The queen slapped the table with her palm, coughed a few times unexpectedly, took a breather and finally softened her tone, and said helplessly, "It's just a scroll of old paintings. Liu Yin dared to take the He family into custody. The crown prince didn't expect the weight of this painting? Thinking about it, Liu Yin has been preparing for a long time. If he gets into trouble, how can he return without taking his life? Prince... Liu Yin is going to cut it your arm!"

Ping Huaizhen's Adam's apple trembled, and he looked up at the queen in the dim candlelight.

The two were speechless, and after a while, Ping Huaizhen clenched his hands into fists, nodded and said, "I understand...so I want to save the He family, I must not be unjust, and I must not lose my arm."

The queen couldn't close her eyes.

"That's all," she nodded, "Go back and promise me, don't make noise in front of the emperor. When I find out the truth, I will do my best... At this moment, the prince should calm down , no one can shake you in the slightest."

"Mother!"

"Don't let me go back!" The queen turned to angrily reprimanded Jiang Chang, "Take the prince to bathe and change clothes, the dignified prince, how can he be so embarrassed!"

Jiang Chang trembled when he heard the sound, and hurriedly tried to help him up.

Ping Huaizhen couldn't speak anymore, stared at the queen for a long time, bowed vigorously, got up and retreated from Fengyi Hall.I can only laugh at the phrase "how can I be so embarrassed", but I don't know that without He Jinyi, the dignified prince would be so embarrassed.

The Palace of Fengyi returned to tranquility, the queen let out a sigh, and beckoned Yantong to come before her and explained: "Send someone out of the palace, and send a message to my brother on my behalf, and teach him to accompany the prince often these days. Tighten up the prince... Now that there are troubles, don't let the prince fall into the enemy's arms..."

"Yes," Yan Tong nodded and wrote down, carefully helping her up, "It's cool in the night, Madam, hurry up and go back to bed and rest..."

Yan Tong blew out the lamps and candles, and the sleeping hall became silent again.

Everything came together overnight.

In a rage, Emperor Hongxuan sent people to encircle the Yuan Mansion in Beijing, and the family members of the former generals were put under house arrest in a blink of an eye, because of the two people in the painting, except for He Bingrong, the other was the Yuan general who had been loyal to the emperor and served the country for several years .

One is a heroic general who opened up the territory, and the other is an important minister of the court who stabilized the country. The two who were supposed to bow their heads and be loyal, dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with his city wall and point out his country.

Since ancient times, being a minister has always tabooed great achievements. The Yuan family has been generals for generations. As early as Zhang Guang's reign, they held military power in their hands, cut cities and lands, and made outstanding achievements repeatedly.Although General Yuan is now over half a hundred years old and Hongxuan has not fought for several years, the status of the Yuan family is still as stable as Mount Tai and cannot be shaken.

The older Emperor Hongxuan became, the more suspicious he became, not only the military general Yuan's family, but also He Bingrong, the Shang Shuling in the imperial court who was under one man and above ten thousand.As the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he has repeatedly speculated and weighed whether the prince has been close to the He family since he was a child, whether he will be able to get the help of virtuous ministers, or will he be bound by a puppet in the end.

There was no need to linger about the unsolvable confusion in the past.

Jiangshan's surname "Ping" for a hundred years is never allowed to be replaced by other words!
