Now the palace has become a place of right and wrong. No foreign minister is allowed to enter the palace. Naturally, the princes, princesses and concubines in the palace cannot summon foreign ministers.

So Princess Huaiqing has something to say to me? Xu Qi'an immediately followed the bodyguard, mounted his beloved little mare and rushed to Huaiqing house.

Huaiqing house is the highest and most heavily defended area in the imperial city.

In this area, there are royal families' residences, Prince and daughter's residences such as Lin'an, which are second only to the imperial palace.

"I'm the sponsor of the Chuzhou case. Although I'm not in the storm center right now, I'm also one of the main people involved. It's not too long since Huaiqing came to see me at this time. I miss you so much..."

seriously, Xu Qian is "tell me the details of the northern border." Huaiqing's face was calm, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little dignified and gloomy, and he didn't seem to be interested in talking and laughing.

Xu Qi'an told it in detail what happened in Chuzhou.

After hearing this, Huaiqing was quiet for a long time. Her beautiful face was not happy and angry. She said in a soft voice, "accompany me to the yard."

The back garden of Princess mansion is very big. They walk side by side and don't talk, but the atmosphere is not awkward. There is a sense of harmony between old friends and quiet years.

"My father and Emperor are wrong. The king of Huai is the prince first, and then the Wufu. In life, the higher the status is, the more important is the sitting position. This is the foundation of our life. "

For a long time, Huaiqing sighed: "therefore, the king of Huai is worthy of death, even though Dafeng lost a peak warrior."

What about your father? Is he worthy of death?

Xu Qi'an said softly, "Your Highness is righteous."

Huaiqing shakes her head, her pretty face appears sad and says softly, "what does this have to do with righteousness? It's just that the blood is not cold. I'm... Disappointed with my father. "

Xu Qi'an was about to speak when he received a message from Huaiqing: "it's not cowardice that my father won't come out of the palace, it's his strategy."

Princess Huaiqing's cultivation is not shallow. If she wants to transmit sound, she must reach the realm of refining spirit. She has been keeping a low profile all the time... Xu Qi'an was surprised and asked: "strategy?"

Huaiqing nodded slowly and explained: "have you ever noticed that in the past three days, among the civil servants blocking the palace gate, who left, who came, and who was just watching?"

Xu Qian is dumb.

After a look at him, Huaiqing continued to deliver a message:

"when the story of huaiwang's massacre came back to the capital, no matter it was treacherous or good officials, no matter it was indignant or in order to gain fame, all scholars could not have no response. At this time, people are in high spirits, which is the most ferocious time of the tide. Therefore, the father and the emperor avoid the edge and close the palace.

"However, if you work hard, you will lose strength again, and you will be exhausted three times. Only when the princes calm down, when some people achieve their fame, and when other voices appear in the officialdom, can father and Emperor really end up fighting with the princes. And this day will not be too far away, I promise, within three days. "

After that, she gave another "Oh", which seemed to be sarcastic and disdainful: "now there are rumors all over the capital, the people are shocked and angry, and all walks of life are talking about it. At first glance, it seems to be a rolling trend. However, the real opponent of his father is only in the court. Not the peddlers. "

Xu Qi'an frowned and said in a deep voice, "but the king of Huai is slaughtering the city after all. He must give an account to all the people in the world."

But Huaiqing sighed pessimistically: "let's see how Wang Shoufu and Wei Gong do it."

In the heavy atmosphere, Xu Qi'an changed the topic: "Your Highness once studied in Yunlu Academy. Have you heard of a book called Dazhou Shiyi?"

Huaiqing recalled carefully, shaking his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

On this day, the indignant civil servants still failed to break into the imperial palace or see Yuanjing emperor. After dusk, they disperse.

But the civil servants didn't give up and agreed to come back tomorrow. If emperor Jingdi didn't give an explanation, the whole court would be paralyzed.

It was also on this day that different voices appeared in officialdom.

Someone asked a question anxiously: "everyone knows about the massacre of the king of Zhenbei. Where is the majesty of the imperial court? I'm afraid the people in the world are extremely disappointed with the royal family and the imperial court. "

The king of Zhenbei is his Majesty's younger brother, a prince, not an ordinary prince.

At the same time, he was the God of the great Fengjun army and the guardian of the Northern Territory in the hearts of the people.

Such a person, for his own sake, slaughters the city!

The sequelae of this incident is that the people lost their trust in the imperial court, and the royal family was disgraced and the people lost their hearts.

A sentence "the king of Zhenbei has been put to death" can really erase the trauma in the hearts of the people?

This is different from killing corrupt officials.

In the past 20 years, the image of the king of Zhenbei has been that of Wei'an, the God of the army, the guardian of the northern border, and the prince of a generation.

Can corrupt officials compare? Killing corrupt officials will only show the majesty of the imperial court and the royal family.

However, if the royal family committed such a brutal act, would the people clap their hands like killing corrupt officials? No, they will collapse their faith and lose their trust in the royal family and the imperial court.It turns out that the king of Zhenbei, whom we praise and love, is such a person.

There's even more overreaction.

On the same day, the prince of Donggong was assassinated in his bedroom after dusk.

That night, the palace gate was closed, and the Imperial Palace was full of imperial guards to search for assassins, but to no avail.

On the next day, the four gates of the capital were closed, and Wang Zhenwen and Wei Yuan were first assisted to mobilize the five guards, the prefects and the watchmen in the capital to search for assassins.

Door to door.

All over the capital.

What does the prince have to do with this? How to be assassinated in vain? Is it a coincidence or a link in the game? If it's the latter, it's too bad. "

Early in the morning, Xu Qi'an, who heard about it, immediately went to see Wei Yuan, but Wei Yuan didn't see him.

But under, had to change the way to the post station, plan to discuss with Zheng Xinghuai.

"Lord Zheng is out, not at the post station."

Li Han, with his ox horn bow on his back, came into the room to welcome Xu Qi'an and said in a deep voice:

"recently, there have been many different voices in the officialdom. It's very difficult to say that the case of Zhenbei King's slaughtering the city is related to the prestige of the imperial court and the people's hearts all over the country.

"Mr. Zheng is very angry. He went out this morning and seems to preach in the Imperial College."

Those are all the old emperor's water army, sighed Xu Qi'an. He admired yuan Jingdi and played politics for so many years. Although he was an incompetent emperor, his mind was not dazzled.

Together with Li Han, he rode to Guozijian.

From a distance, I saw Zheng Buzheng standing outside the imperial prison, feeling very excited.

"The sage says that the people are the most important and the monarch is the least..."

"the king of Zhenbei slaughtered the people as a prince and regarded them as livestock lambs, which was the common enemy of our scholars..."

"my generation of scholars should seek happiness for the common people, establish morality and make contributions, so I went back to Beijing and vowed to seek justice for the 380000 people in Chuzhou City..."

he did so Does it work?

Of course, it's useful. Some new and rising scholars like to preach in places like Guozijian before they became famous in the world.

Spread their own academic ideas.

If you can get the recognition of the students and make a name for yourself, then it's no problem to establish the school.

Zheng Xinghuai is not spreading ideas, he is criticizing Zhenbei Wang and calling on students to join the army of criticism.

The effect is very good. Scholars, especially young students, are full of ambition and enthusiasm. They are far more pure than officialdom.

From ancient times to the present, most of the people who make trouble and March are young people.

"Is there no one to stop it?" Xu Qian asked.

Li Han shook his head.

This is unreasonable..... Xu Qi'an frowned.

He waited patiently on the side of the road until Zheng Xinghuai finished his anger and returned with Shentu Baili and other guards. Xu Qi'an met him.

"This is not a place to talk. Please follow me back to the post station." Zheng Xinghuai's face was stiff and serious, and he nodded slightly.

Returning to the post station, Zheng Xinghuai leads Xu Qi'an into his study. After Li Han offers tea, the scholar, who has experienced ups and downs in his life, looks at Xu Qi'an and says:

"is it for the rumors in today's Officialdom?"

"It's just one. He spread rumors, but it's not unreasonable. We have to guard against them." Xu Qi'an sighed and said:

"I'm mainly concerned about the case of the Crown Prince being stabbed."

Zheng Xinghuai pondered: "in this case, who is the most active?"

Xu Qian a Leng: "Wei Gong and Wang Shoufu."

Zheng Xinghuai sat upright, nodded his head and said: "this matter is mostly planned by Duke Wei and Wang Shoufu. As for the purpose, I don't know."

Ah? Will Duke Wei and Wang Shoufu assassinate the prince?

What is the reason? Does the prince have anything to do with this case?... the answer is beyond Xu Qi'an's imagination.

After a long discussion, Zheng Xinghuai looked at the leak in the room and said in a deep voice, "I still have to visit my old friends in Beijing. If I walk around, I won't leave any silver gongs."

When Xu Qi'an got up and walked to the threshold, Zheng Xinghuai's voice came from behind: "Xu Yinluo......"

he looked back.

The scholar, with his back gradually bent, straightened his gray hair and bowed to him:

"a man's promise is a thousand gold. I like Xu Yinluo's half poem very much. On that day, I promised 300000 dead people in the city that I would get justice for them. As I promised, I would have no regrets.

"After that, Mr. Zheng resigned and returned to his hometown. I'm afraid there will be no day to meet again in this life. Therefore, I would like to thank you in advance."

Xu Qi'an turned around, his face serious, meticulous return.

He opened the door, stepped out of the threshold and made a few steps. Zheng Xinghuai's chanting voice came from the room behind him"Young chivalrous, with five all male. Liver and gallbladder cave. The hair shrugs. We are in talks. Life and death are the same. A promise is worth a thousand dollars... "

the world is chaotic and noisy. If you can retire after success, you can only stay at a leisurely table. It's not bad for you to have pastoral songs..... Xu Qi'an smiles.

......

palace.

Emperor yuan Jingdi sat on the putuan, half closed his eyes and said faintly, "did the assassin catch it?"

The old eunuch shook his head and said in a respectful voice, "no news is coming."

"If you can't grasp it, you don't need to."

Yuan Jingdi opened his eyes, with a cold smile, but he said with emotion: "Wei Yuan and Wang Zhenwen are just a little interesting in this court, others are a little worse."

The old eunuch bowed her head and did not make or dare not make an evaluation.

Emperor Yuanjing continued: "send people out of the palace to bring words to those on the list. There's no need to show off, but there's no need to be careful."

After a pause, he continued: "inform the cabinet that tomorrow I will call all the officials in the imperial study. To discuss the case of huaiwang slaughtering the city. "

The old eunuch was short of breath and said, "yes!"
