One night passed, no one in the East Palace was waiting for Cheng Cen's return, and no one delivered a letter to the East Palace. Cheng Cen never returned, and Empress Chen stayed up almost all night. However, Xiao Lingzhao was injured and felt dizzy after drinking medicine.

sleep.

They did not know that Cheng Cen had entered the imperial temple to copy Buddhist scriptures, nor did they know that in the court hall, Zuo Pingdao and Hu Shangshu both asked for memorials. The incident they requested was the assassination of the East Palace.

Since the incident occurred in the East Palace, this was the first time it was discussed in the court. The left and right ministers, who had already known the previous situation, and the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate remained silent. The remaining officials lowered their heads in fear. The East Palace involved inheritance.

The matter of unification can shake the foundation of the country.

Even Emperor Yuan, who is now sitting on the throne, had to go through a lot of fighting and slaughter several brothers before he got his wish. Therefore, after hearing Zuo Pingdao and Hu Shangshu report, and putting the witnesses and physical evidence one by one, everyone

I was frightened but dared not speak.

Tang Xiangdang, who was usually best at muddying the waters, kept his mouth shut and listened to Zuo Pingdao read Gao Qi's suicide note word for word.

"I always think about the past and remember the grace of the Holy One. When I became a minister, I did not seek official promotion, but only wanted to repay the grace of the Holy One. But now I have ignored the grace of the Holy One and committed an unforgivable crime. Now I am going to die to apologize and sue the Holy One.

bright."

"In the past, I saw His Highness the Crown Prince. He was very frightened because of his confinement. He and his ministers planned to lift the ban as soon as possible. In the past, His Royal Highness King Cheng went to suppress the bandits. He was afraid that he would return with success and fall out of favor in the East Palace. He wanted to plan a fake assassination with me and bring trouble to King Cheng.

"

"I was confused and conspired with the prince. I secretly hired a private killer to cover his entry into the palace. He used it as evidence to confuse the public. I killed a guard to seize his badge and caused his innocent death. Now that the incident has happened, I am panic-stricken. Even if I drink and have fun,

I can’t hide my uneasiness.”

"Now I offer my death to apologize, and I beseech the Holy One to remember my merits in the past. Considering that Lianchen's family is declining, his son is young, his mother is seriously ill, and his family members are all kept in the dark about what he did to me, I dedicate my life to you, and I beseech the Holy One

I have pity on you, please pray for the Holy Judgment!"

Zuo Pingdao's voice was low, but it had an echo effect in Zichen Hall. The voice echoed around the beams and resounded in the ears, and all the ministers were shocked after hearing it.

Among them, Guo Shitong and Song Qingming were shocked. Guo Shitong still remembered Qin Feng's confession. Even though he thought Gao Qi could not commit suicide, the suicide note was determined to be written by Tong Qi himself. Even he himself admitted that he drank to relieve his sorrow.

He was also shaken in his heart.

At this time, he was glad that Qin Feng's beating on him was effective, and the voice of Zuo Pingdao came to his ears: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the stability of the country. I ask your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible. If there is any delay, there may be another turmoil!"

Hu Shangshu's eyelids jumped when he heard this. What kind of turmoil could it refer to the Marquis of Zhenbei? His knees softened and he knelt down quickly and said: "I second the proposal, please make a decision as soon as possible."

The censors on the left and right sides of the Procuratorate also knelt down and said, "I second my opinion!"

"I second the proposal!" Song Luo groaned and knelt down.

When Song Qingming saw that his father had followed him, there was no reason for his son not to follow, so he quickly obeyed: "I second the proposal!"

The rest of the people looked at Prime Minister Tang. He didn't know what he was thinking, and looked a little absent-minded. Looking at the Prime Minister again, Deputy Prime Minister Bai was also looking at Prime Minister Tang. At this time, a person stood up, it was Tai Fu Qin.

.

Guo Shitong was shocked. This was the prince's teacher and was closely related to the fate of the East Palace. Could he be interceding for the prince?

"I am the Crown Prince Fu, and I would like to apologize to His Majesty. I also implore Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible. I also... second my opinion!"

With a bang, the court was in a state of shock, and even Prince Fu turned against him!

Tang Xiang's heart was agitated, but before he could make any move, Bai Beitang also kowtowed: "I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!" There is no suspense now. All the officials knelt down and begged at the same time. Prime Minister Tang quietly raised his head. Thinking of what Xuanyuan Bei said, he could only smile bitterly in his heart. He was one step too late. Even Qin Zuohuai was too late.

Not as good as!

The old Prime Minister of Tang kowtowed with all the ministers, and felt a cold light passing over his head. His heart palpitated, and he suddenly felt pain in his chest. Then he heard the voice of Emperor Yuan from above: "After the dynasty was dismissed, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment

Stay with the censors on your left and right."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After the four people responded, Eunuch Hong waved his whisk and said, "Retreat from the court!"

Tang Xiang stood up and stumbled inexplicably. Qin Taifu supported him with quick hands and eyes: "Father-in-law, be careful."

Qin Zuohuai looked at the pale face of his father-in-law and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty came prepared. The ministers agreed that my father-in-law should have been one step ahead. Now I am afraid that your majesty will be convinced that my father-in-law is not of the same mind as your majesty."

If this was the former Qin Zuohuai, how could he dare to talk to him like this? Tang Xiang was confused and asked: "Did you know in advance?"

Qin Zuohuai had known that Prime Minister Tang had entered the Zichen Palace that day, but he did not tell him a word. On the contrary, it was Qin Feng who gave Liu Yuan some air to do what he did today. In this regard, his father-in-law is not as good as his own son.

He sneered in his heart and said truthfully: "It is true that Feng'er has revealed something."

That bastard is a good person! Tang Xiang suddenly thought of the cold light above his head just now, and his heart trembled. He shook off Qin Zuohuai's hand and walked out of the palace step by step. Qin Zuohuai didn't chase him. Just now he took the initiative to plead guilty. Emperor Yuan

He didn't express anything, and his heart was still hanging.

However, Xiao Lingzhao did not reveal anything to him about this incident in the East Palace. He had no idea from the beginning to the end. The future of the Qin family now depends on His Majesty's consideration. Thinking of the unpredictable future, Qin Zuohuai's palms felt cold, so he could not even bother to slander his father-in-law.

, was busy leaving the palace.

Qin Feng was in Anding Mansion. He was not nervous about the rumors in the palace. He was looking at the accounts and the troubles coming from various businesses. Some of them only came to him because they couldn't solve them, or they had to spend a lot of money.

, it also requires his review and approval.

He has always known that there are limits to delegating power, and now he has received a letter from Xu Cheng, the shopkeeper of Muchian Pavilion.

Xu Cheng was anxious. Originally, the merger of various firms into Kunpeng Firm was the icing on the cake. Since the Kunpeng Firm's plaque was hung up, the business of each firm has only gone up, and they have all benefited from the glory of Huangshang. Only Mu Xiange has returned.

Staying where you are.

There is a reason for this. Firstly, other shops are in the city and are in bustling areas with a lot of people. Only Muchian Pavilion is located in the mountains and is inaccessible. Secondly, although he knows that the hot spring water is beneficial to people, few people in the world know about it.

.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but he is running a hot spring. The hot spring water is good but there are few people who know it. Therefore, seeing that other businesses are prospering, but Muchian Pavilion still has not improved much, Xu Cheng finally became anxious.

Just send someone to deliver a letter.

They say words are like the person they are. The wording of this letter is like Xu Cheng standing in front of him. The handwriting is not beautiful at all, but it does not use written language. It is all colloquial words, vividly expressing depression, and then shouting at the top of his lungs.

Saying "Master, come and help me"!
