At the beginning of the new year, the side door of the Meridian Gate opened slowly, and the old eunuch walked to the gate and said in a loud voice, "go to the court!"
The noise stopped immediately, and the civil and military officials entered the side door orderly. The civil officials were on the left, and the military officials were on the right.
After entering the Meridian Gate, more than four products enter the hall, less than four products are at the gate of the hall, and less than six products are on the square.
The ministers entered the hall and waited for a quarter of an hour, but emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty arrived late.
Clusters of eyes fell on the king of a country, trying to see the clues from his eyes and expressions.
None of them failed. Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty was in power for 37 years. With his deep mind and rich experience, very few people could break hands with him in the temple.
Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu.
There is no difference between this court meeting and the past, and the monarch and his ministers are still playing right.
"Your Majesty, tens of thousands of people died in the middle of winter in Chuzhou. In order to provide relief to the victims, the chief envoy has already told him about the money and food. I implore your majesty to draw up a decree to allocate funds from the Ministry of accounts....
"the Treasury is empty. For disaster relief, you can collect money from the local squires..." emperor yuan Jing replied.
"Your Majesty, the northern barbarians have repeatedly violated the border. After the Spring Festival, the border conflict has become more and more fierce, so we have to guard against it."
"Your Majesty, wangmoshi barbarians in the northern part of the town plundered the border, defended the border town and did not send a single soldier. As a result, the people on the border were displaced and suffered heavy casualties. Your majesty, please surrender."
Wei Manqing said, "there's no sound from the north."
Wei Yuan frowned and said, "at the end of last year, it snowed heavily in the north for several months, and countless animals were frozen to death. At that time, I expected that the barbarians would go south to plunder."
Emperor Yuanjing suddenly remembered it and frowned, "what about the follow-up? Why didn't the watchmen get the news ahead of time when the barbarians invaded the border
"I was negligent." Wei Yuandao.
In fact, he took back the dark son from the north and moved to the northeast.
Emperor Yuanjing said lightly: "when the northern barbarians invaded the south, Wei Yuan had the fault of neglecting, so he was removed from the post of censor of zuodu. One year's salary. "
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and a lot of question marks floated in the minds of the ministers.
Although the watchman has the duty of spying, it belongs to the incidental business. What's more, when the northern barbarians invade south, the king of Zhenbei will not fight. Even if he knows in advance that the barbarians are going to invade the border, what's the point?
Why can't this pot be thrown on Wei Yuan's head?
However, it was rare for emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty to turn the gun fire to Wei Yuan. Although he was confused, the civil servants immediately seized the opportunity to attack Wei Yuan and called for the sage's wisdom.
A censor stepped out and stressed, "Your Majesty, the king of Zhenbei is indifferent to the people's suffering from the disaster of the war. Please surrender."
Yuan Jingdi's response was just four words: "I know."
The censor refused to return.
The court meeting gradually came to an end. After dealing with the backlog of government affairs, the ministers stopped playing. Emperor Jingdi raised his index finger and tapped on the table.
The old Eunuch in mang robe went out and looked around the officials.
Here comes... All the princes in the hall are moved.
Although it is surprising that Wei Yuan was removed from his post as censor of zuodou, it is absolutely not because of this "trivial matter" that emperor Jingdi of Yuan suddenly held a court meeting. *** It was decorated with seals and ribbons, and then retired to the Changchun palace. "
Changchun palace is the cold palace.
Inside and outside the hall, there was a dead silence.
Up to Yipin Sangong and down to the officials outside the hall, all those who heard the contents of the imperial edict were confused.
In the silence, there was a low voice:
"Your Majesty, this is not to be done."
Yuan Jingdi squinted and looked at the green clothes without expression.
Wei Yuan's temples are white, and the vicissitudes of time are precipitated in his eyes. He looks directly at emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty.
I don't know how long later, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment and the Minister of Dali temple came out at the same time and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the case of Fu Fei has not been tried by the three departments, so it can't be concluded easily."
"It's my family business," yuan Jingdi said
The new minister of rites rushed out, bowed and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the abolition of the queen is also a national event, so we should not be rash. Your majesty is also requested to submit the case of Fu Fei to the third division for examination and decision. "
Although the imperial edict says that the queen has pleaded guilty. However, the abolition of the empress is of great importance. Without knowing the circumstances, the princes would not agree with the abolition of the empress.
"Yes
...
in the early morning, Xu Xinnian finished washing and went to the back hall for breakfast. From a distance, he saw Xu Lingyin in a small skirt sitting on the steps outside the hall, puffing her cheeks angrily.
The little figure looked lonely and pitiful.
"Ling Yin, why are you sitting here?" Asked Xu Xinnian.Xu Lingyin looked up and ignored him.
"Second brother asked you something." Xu new year frowned.
"My mother drove me out and beat me." Xu Lingyin complained, "second brother can help me curse my mother."
Xu Xinnian shakes his head.
Xiaodouding, with such an expression on his face, wrinkled his nose and said, "if only elder brother were at home, elder brother would like to bully his mother."
Xu Xinnian entered the hall, sat in a familiar position, and waited for lu'e to fill him a bowl of porridge. While eating, he said, "Niang, does the ring sound make you angry again?"
"No, your big brother made me angry." My aunt said coldly.
"The elder brother didn't come back..."
the aunt sneered, "this is your elder brother's skill. If you are not here, you can still annoy me half to death."
Xu new year looked down at his sister and father and asked, "what's the matter?"
Xu Lingyue said in a low voice, "Lingyin eats steamed stuffed buns today. She says that she won't be hungry and can eat them all her life."
"... taught by big brother?" Xu new year's day.
Xu Lingyue nodded.
Xu Er Shu added: "it's a pity that after Ling Yin vomited, he wanted to take it back and eat it. He was beaten by your mother."
Xu Xinnian:...
when he looked down under the table, he found that he had vomited a lot of chewed baozi residue.
"Big brother didn't go home today." Xu Lingyue was depressed.
Xu Erlang and Xu Pingzhi tacit understanding said: "certainly in Jiaofang department."
...
Xu Qi'an wakes up in the backyard wing room of the Yamen. The huge yard is quiet. Only an old official stoops and sweeps the floor in the yard.
"The quilt hasn't been washed for a long time. It smells strange. The public dormitory is rubbish."
He disgusted to open the quilt, step out of bed, push open the window, let the sun shine in.
This is the public dormitory of the watchman's Yamen, where the officials and watchmen who work overtime have a rest. In addition to the exclusive rooms in Jinluo, the rest of the rooms are shared.
The sanitary condition is not good, and I don't know how many people's children and grandchildren are buried in the thick quilt.
Thanks to the elixir of Si Tianjian and his strong physique, the penetrating injury of his left shoulder has scabbed and will be cured in two days.
It is the world a knife cut, overdraft energy has not recovered, tired like a leaf seven thorn, the body has been hollowed out.
Xu Qi'an poured a cup of tea and gargled. He went to the courtyard to get a bucket of cold and clear well water. After washing his face, he went to Chunfeng hall.
"Hoo, comfortable..."
after eating the meal sent by the official, Xu Qi'an felt his bulging stomach and lay contentedly on Li Yuchun's chair with his feet on the desk.
This is when he has time to think about last night's assassination.
"Normally, I leave the palace on time at the beginning of Shenshi. Yesterday, because I checked the list of people going in and out of the imperial pharmacy, I left the palace after Youshi.
"But I don't know when the assassins go home every day?
"Watchmen often look out on the roof, so the three assassins can't always lie on the roof waiting for me, otherwise they would have been found by night patrol watchmen.
"Obviously, they know when I left the palace... It's very likely that the person behind the scenes is from the palace, otherwise they can't explain this.
"The queen? I just found out the clue that was unfavorable to her yesterday, and she turned around and sent someone to assassinate me... Don't you want me to go further?
"If the queen did it, Huaiqing and I would have to divorce."
Xu Qian pinched his eyebrows.
At this time, an official in black entered Chunfeng hall. Seeing Xu Qi'an in the hall, he was immediately relieved: "I just went to the backyard to look for Mr. Xu, but I didn't find anyone. I thought you had left the Yamen."
Xu Qi'an still put his legs on the table, half squinting, "today I won't go into the palace to investigate the case, wait until I get well hurt."
The official nodded and said, "Duke Wei is looking for you. Go to haoqilou first."
Ha, it seems that Wei Yuan knew about the assassination yesterday. He must be stunned by my achievements... Xu Qi'an put down his legs, got up from his chair and said, "lead the way."
As the official came to Haoqi building, he was on the seventh floor. Unexpectedly, in addition to Wei Yuan, there were two guests in the teahouse that he didn't think of.
Huaiqing, a princess as elegant as snow lotus, and the fourth prince, a handsome and introverted son of Yuanjing emperor.
As Huaiqing's brother, the fourth Prince's facial features are not similar to his sister's, but somewhat similar to Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty.
Huaiqing is somewhat similar to the queen, but the temperament difference between the mother and daughter is too big, that little similarity is also invisible.
The three people's faces are very ugly. Wei Yuan holds a teacup in his hand and lowers his head in silence, as if he didn't notice the arrival of Xu Qi'an. Hearing this, the fourth Prince nodded to him.Huaiqing also did not see Xu Qi'an, frowning and pondering.
"Duke Wei." Xu Qi'an holds his fist.
Wei Yuan raised his head and pointed to the position beside Huaiqing. He said gently, "sit down."
Xu Qian takes a seat.
"Assassinated last night?" Wei Yuan pushed the teapot to Xu Qi'an and motioned him to pour the tea himself.
Just full of wine and food, Xu Qi'an poured a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it. He nodded his head and said, "the messenger behind the scenes is related to the Fu Fei case, which is in the palace."
"You suspect the queen?"
Wei Yuan's words are too straightforward. Xu Qi'an doesn't know how to answer for a moment, and takes a careful look at Huaiqing.
Huaiqing still didn't look at him, worried.
The long princess now looks like a woman in the face of a divorce agreement... Xu Qi'an mutters in her heart.
"Today, your majesty proposed to abolish empress Fu at the court meeting. The reason is that the real culprit behind the Fu Fei case is the queen." Wei Yuan said.
“？？？”
Xu Qi'an looked at him stupidly, the first thought in his mind: how long did I sleep?
How can I wake up with a sense of right and wrong, as if I have been sleeping for a century.
Fu Fei case is his own investigation, every step, every clue is his deliberation, groping out. He is not sure that the queen is the murderer. Why should emperor Yuanjing?
Does he think he's Conan or Dee Renjie?
But then, a word from Princess Huaiqing made Xu Qian feel confused again.
"Mother admitted it."
What are you talking about?
Xu Qi'an waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I want to calm down..."
after thinking for a long time, he tentatively said: "Your Majesty wants to abolish the queen, because the real murderer behind the Fu Fei case is the queen, and the Queen really admits it?"
The fourth Prince nodded.
"Could it be forced?" Xu Qian guessed.
"No Wei Yuan shook his head, looked at him with his eyes full of vicissitudes, and said in a deep voice:
"you personally investigated the fufei case. No one knows any clues or details better than you. If you think about it carefully, is there anything suspicious or unreasonable? Today, the two of you came down to the Yamen. Besides discussing with me about the issue of abolishing the empress, you also wanted to ask for your help.
"Your Majesty has not taken back your gold medal. You need time to confirm it. You still have time to investigate this case."
Huaiqing and the fourth Prince look at Xu Qian at the same time.
The fourth Prince bowed his hands and said, "please, Mr. Xu."
Xu Qian ignored him and turned his eyes to Huaiqing.
this lotus like elegant Princess Gao Jie's Royal Highness, like the eyes of autumn water, scrutinized him carefully. "How is the injury?"
She is concerned about Xu Qi'an's injury instead of proposing a proposal.
In your sincere confession, you won't divorce... Xu Qi'an said, "well, Princess Xie cares. It's no harm to be humble."
After a pause, he said: "in the case of Fu Fei, the Queen really has sufficient motives and reasons to capture the prince. And according to the clues I found out yesterday, the real culprit behind the scenes really points to the queen. "
The fourth Prince interrupted excitedly: "it's impossible. The empress won't do such a thing."
"Don't worry, your highness. I haven't finished yet." Xu Qi'an looked at Huaiqing and asked, "what evidence does your majesty have?"
Huaiqing shook his head: "no, it was admitted by the mother."
Xu Qian frowned: "this is strange. If your majesty has no evidence, why does the queen admit it? Since the queen has admitted it, why did she send someone to assassinate me? "
There is a paradox.
The fourth Prince sighed: "it's because I don't know that I came to you. Lord Xu, you have repeatedly solved strange cases. If anyone else in the capital can find out the truth in a short time and return the innocence of his mother and mother, then you are the only one. "
After taking his first sip of tea, Xu Qi'an said slowly, "when I first took over the case, I thought there were only two possibilities for Fu Fei's case: first, the Prince did drink and kill Fu Fei.
"Second, someone tried to capture the crown prince and seize the position of the east palace.
"After investigating the Qingfeng Hall of fufei, I can conclude that the crown prince was wronged. Then this case belongs to the second possibility, someone wants to frame the prince.
"Looking back along this line, all kinds of clues point to the empress. To be frank with your Highnesses, just now, I was also suspicious of the queen. I suspected that she sent assassins to assassinate me.
"But when I learned that the queen admitted that she was the real murderer behind the scenes, I suddenly had doubts about this case. So the purpose of the Empress Dowager is not to capture the prince, but to kill two birds with one stone.
"But I have a question. The queen lives in seclusion, and the fourth Prince is not the prince. Why does the emissary behind the scenes point the spearhead at the queen and what is the picture? You can't be the master of the harem. "
Is it meaningful to have an emperor who has been abstinent for more than ten years and the throne of the Lord of the harem?
Wei Yuan put down his tea cup and sighed: "first of all, the fourth prince, whether he is the prince or not, is his Majesty's eldest son. Secondly, the emissary behind the scenes is for me. "“？？？” Xu Qi'an looked at him blankly.
Wei Yuan was silent for a moment and explained: "the Wei family and the Shangguan family are family friends. The Queen's surname is Shangguan."
So, that is to say, Wei Yuan and the queen are political allies, and they belong to the empress's "relatives"... No wonder Princess Huaiqing is half of Wei Yuan's Apprentice... So the case of Fu Fei, on the surface, is to trap the prince, but in fact it is aimed at Wei yuan?
There is no doubt that Wei Yuan belongs to the fourth Prince party... A case of Fu Fei can deal with the prince party and the fourth Prince party at the same time. It's amazing... Xu Qi'an is speechless.
"At today's court meeting, my father removed the post of censor of Zuo Du, Duke of Wei." Said Princess Huaiqing.
Eh, it's not reasonable... Even if the behind the scenes wanted to weaken Wei Yuan by overthrowing the queen, it was also undermining Wei Yuan's "ally" and weakening his power in disguise.
How come as soon as the empress's accident happened, Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty immediately dismissed Wei Yuan's important identity as if it was Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty who was behind the scenes... Wait a minute, suppose that the empress was behind the capture of the crown prince, with the intention of supporting the fourth prince to become the crown prince.
When Emperor Yuanjing knew this, he immediately weakened and beat Wei Yuan... What does that mean?
It shows that emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty was afraid of Wei Yuan.
Xu Qi'an suddenly understood why emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty chose the prince from the common people as the prince instead of the fourth prince from the queen.
The queen and Wei Yuan are political allies. If the fourth Prince is the crown prince, it would be me.
Taking back the divergent thoughts, Xu Qi'an puts his mind on the case and reorganizes the case of Fu Fei from the bottom of his heart.
As Xu Qi'an fell into thinking, there was silence in the tearoom, and only four people breathed softly.
"After drinking from Princess Chen, the prince met Huang xiaorou on his way back and was invited to the Qingfeng Hall of Princess fu... The prince really had a bad idea about her father's woman at that time.
"Then fufei fell down and died, and the prince became a suspect and was detained in Dali temple.
"I found out that fufei was killed. The next day, Huang xiaorou's body was found in the crab pavilion after the prince was captured. What a coincidence, what a coincidence.
"No wonder I thought something was wrong at that time. Huang xiaorou was killed instead of committing suicide. So why did the assailant choose crab pavilion?
"It's better to bury people in secret than to bury them in the well. To say the least, there are dozens or even hundreds of Shijing in shengongyuan, but they prefer a densely populated and easily found crab Pavilion.
"This special thing is intentional, deliberately let us find the connection between Huang xiaorou and the queen.
"My first guess was wrong? Huang xiaorou is not the murderer who killed Fu Fei. She's just a prop. Let's lock the suspect on the Queen's prop?
"No, it was Huang xiaorou who cheated the prince to go to Qingfeng hall. The prince would lie, but the bodyguard around him would not lie. It's too easy to identify. Moreover, to be able to set up the scene, to destroy the guardrail secretly, and to know Fu Fei's habits, and to know that she wants to love her fake husband, all these must be close to the palace girl.
"If the queen didn't do all this, why did she admit it? Maybe there is some reason why she has to admit it.
"What is the queen afraid of? This must have something to do with the case. The three main people involved in the case are princess Fu, the prince and Huang xiaorou.
"Among the three, the only one who has contact with the queen is Huang xiaorou...
Huang xiaorou?!
All kinds of confused ideas and guesses flashed in his mind. Xu Qi'an combined with the clues he got, and deliberated the course of the case step by step.
Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an suddenly realized something and felt a piece of yellow silk cloth with dim color from his arms.
It is embroidered with a red lotus flower and a line of words: spring of the 31st year of Yuanjing.
Princess Huaiqing stared at the yellow silk cloth and said, "this is from Huang xiaorou, the maid of honor."
"Yes Xu Qi'an nodded, looked around at the three, and finally fell on Huaiqing. He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, we only know that the queen saved Huang xiaorou, but there are two doubts. I don't know if you have noticed."
Huaiqing shook his head.
"First, why did the queen save Huang xiaorou?"
"The empress has always been kind-hearted. It's not surprising that she spends a panacea to save a maid in waiting." Huaiqing said.
The queen may be a good person, but it's not important..... Xu Qi'an shook his head and said, "why should the queen pay attention to a maid in waiting? Still send lotus son of Feng Qi palace to stare at her
"I asked my mother, but she didn't say." Huaiqing frowned.
"Second, why did Huang xiaorou commit suicide?" Xu Qi'an pointed to the yellow silk cloth and said in a deep voice, "the answer is here."
