Twenty years ago, Xiao Yan and his family were in-laws.
However, with the untimely death of the child under the age of seven in the battle of King Pingnan's siege of the capital, the fragile relationship linked by in-laws was easily broken.
Xiao Yuan had been sitting in the position of Duke Dingguo for more than twenty years.
At that time, the old Duke Ding had three direct sons under his knees, and it was not his turn to inherit the position of Duke Ding. However, the whole capital knew that he was lucky. The eldest brother, who was supposed to be the heir, became seriously ill and burned into a fool. When the manor of the state was hesitating about who to appoint, he "did not know each other" on the school grounds with Yan Mu, who was the new Marquis of Yong Yi, and then married Yan Min, the sister of Yan Mu's direct relative, as his wife. The disadvantage is that he has not only a dignified and capable wife, but also the support of her mother's family. Soon, Duke Lao Ding asked for the title for him and established himself as the heir. After Lao Ding Guogong passed away, Xiao Yuan became the country's grandfather justifiably.
Xiao Dingfei is his only son with Yan Min.
This child is smart and clever, and has the blood of Xiao and Yan at the same time. It can be said that he has attracted the attention of the entire capital from birth, and was appointed as the heir by the Holy Master at the age of five.
But Xiao Yuan didn't like this child.
Especially after the battle of King Pingnan, whenever someone mentions this name again, he can't help but sink his face and even turn his face with others.
Because Yan Min broke up with him after this incident!
The Marquis of Yongyi is the last few generations, and they have slowly accumulated enough merits by making contributions on the battlefield to have their current status; but the Dingguo Gongfu is a real family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Before Xiao Yuan, there had never been a grandfather who had divorced his wife!
For a man, divorce has always been the only option, and reconciliation is a great shame!
Women and Daoists, with long hair and short knowledge, how do you know the importance of the court situation
Xiao Yuan was determined not to let his wife go, but Yanmin was backed by the Hou Mansion, and the royal family was also ashamed of the Yan family.
But since then, the Xiao Yan family has cut off contact.
Twenty years later, Xiao Yan never set foot in Yongyi Hou's mansion again.
Today is the first time in twenty years!
The soldiers with heavy armor and swords all followed behind him, and the imperial decree from the nine-layered palace, which was written by the sage himself, was held in his hands. The anger and resentment he suffered in the past were all at this moment. Let it out!
Xiao Yuan went up the steps, his gray hair was already gray, he was wearing dark clothes, waving shoes, and a high crown and hat on top of his head. After walking into the hall, he stopped and looked at everyone present with a dangerous look. He glanced over his face, and saw Xie Wei, who was still crowning Yan Lin, frowned, and finally looked at Yan Mu, who had stood up beside him.
Yan Mu's face was already deep and frozen: "My brave mansion has been dedicated to my duties from generation to generation, loyal to the emperor and love the people. What did Duke Dingguo mean?"
Xiao Yuan sneered: "Of course it's the meaning of the sage! An hour ago, a news came from Tongzhou, someone secretly instigated a mutiny with 50,000 troops stationed in the main camp, claiming to seek justice for your brave mansion! Yan Mu, Yan Mu, in the battle of King Pingnan, you and my family were deeply affected, but I didn't expect that you would dare to secretly contact the chaotic party. The saintly benevolence and righteousness had the heart to forgive your family's death penalty. Who would have thought that you would dare to rebel! Your death date It's here!"
Tongzhou camp, the army mutiny!
Which of the people present is not mixing with the DPRK and China
When he heard Xiao Yuan say the word "mutineer" just now, he had a guess. Now listening to him talk about it in detail, he felt that the hairs on his back stood up, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Yan Mu.
Yan Mu was stunned when he heard the mutiny in the Tongzhou camp, but when he heard the sentence "You and my family are also deeply affected by it", his full of sadness suddenly turned into boundless anger!
He slammed the table next to him!
All the tea cups on the case fell to the ground and smashed to pieces!
Yan Mu widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yuan, his eyes were almost congested, and he questioned every word with hatred: "Do you dare to say that your Xiao clan was hurt by the battle of King Pingnan?!"
In the huge front hall, you can't even hear the sound of gasping.
On the one hand, the imperial decree arrives, and the death of the Marquis of Yongyi is imminent;
Some of the less timid companions today have long been frightened and pale.
Even Jiang Xuening felt that his neck was tightly stuck by someone's palm—
Knowing is one thing, experiencing it is another.
After all, the young man's crown ceremony could not avoid being stained with blood, and a dark cloud of family destruction shrouded him.
For a moment, Yan Lin was about to stand up, stand by his father's side, and face the cruel and unknown fate that was overturned today with him.
However, Xie Wei in front of him just stretched out his hand to the side again.
Where have the likes seen a scene like this today
Holding the lacquer plate by the side, his legs were so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.
After Xie Wei stretched out his hand, no one handed anything for a long time, so he opened his eyes and said softly, "The hairpin."
It was a quiet moment in the hall, no one dared to speak, and a string was taut in his head, fearing that something was about to happen. When Xie Wei's seemingly flat voice sounded, no one expected it. Some people's eyebrows trembled, and the soldiers who were holding the hilt in their hands almost drew their swords out and started to move. Thank you.
The likes didn't respond.
It wasn't until Xie Wei frowned slightly and repeated it again: "The hairpin."
A pair of wooden hairpins were attached to the jade crown that tied the hair, and it was only inserted on the left side, but there was one side left.
Who would have thought that with this knife hanging on the back of his neck, he was still thinking about the crown
The admirer then took the wooden hairpin and handed it to Xie Wei almost sluggishly.
Xie Wei didn't even look at anyone else, he held the wooden hairpin and inserted it into the jade crown with his hair tied.
Duke Ding Xiao Yuan's eyes also fell on him at this time, and the frown that was originally frowned unconsciously became even tighter, although he knew that this Mr. A person who is capable, but this unshakable appearance doesn't put everyone in the eyes.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people anymore.
In Xiao Yuan's opinion, the people of Yongyi Hou's Mansion are no different from dead people, so he waved his hand and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, all the adults who are attending the banquet today, please don't move around, all the members of the Yan clan are all Catch me!"
"Yes!"
All the soldiers behind him were ordered to press forward.
However, I didn't expect that a voice suddenly came out from the oblique thorns and asked: "Dagan statutes, the imperial decree should read the imperial decree for the person who received the decree. "
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment.
According to the law, there is such a thing, but the imperial decree from the palace, does he dare to falsely pass the imperial decree
There was a sudden chill in his eyes.
He looked at the prestige, and was actually a tall and thin young man standing at the end of the crowd, wearing a dark blue robe and not fully dressed, so he didn't know what the official rank was, he only guessed that the position was not high, and he looked cold and indifferent. Feeling stunned, he said coldly, "Who are you?"
The man put his hands in his wide sleeves and folded them down, but his body was plain and not nervous. He only said, "Zhang Zha, the head of the Department of Clearing and Officials of the Xiaguan Punishment Department."
Zhang cover.
As soon as he mentioned the name, Xiao Yuan had an impression. He remembered that he was a difficult speaker in the former criminal department who was quite controversial in the previous court! Eyelids jumped instantly.
The imperial edict was held in Xiao Yuan's hands.
Now everyone is watching, even if he feels that he can't hang on his face, he doesn't dare to openly refuse to read the imperial decree!
Left and right is the kung fu of reading an imperial decree.
At this time, Xiao Yuan didn't think much about it, sneered, and "thank you" to Zhang Zhe for reminding him to show the imperial decree, "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict" and read it, the effect is indeed different from what he said when he entered the government. Two, one is a big mutiny in the army, and the other is that he colluded with King Pingnan to rebel against the party and ordered Dingguo Xiao Yuan to lead the forbidden army to seize Yongyi Hou's mansion, and all the people in the mansion were arrested and imprisoned.
After saying "approval", Xiao Yuan suddenly closed the imperial decree, and said gloomily: "This imperial decree has been read out, you should believe it, right? It is to give me the courage to forge the imperial decree? someone-"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Yongyi has not yet received the decree."
Zhang Zhe watched from the side, seeing that he was about to order someone to be arrested, his eyelids twitched, and he added a sentence that was neither salty nor light.
"… "
"… "
"… "
This time, let alone Xiao Yuan, Duke Dingguo, who was in charge of the decree, even Hou Yanmu, the brave and determined man who had already accepted the fate of the calamity, couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.
Xie Wei raised his eyebrows when he heard the word "Zhang Zhe".
After the crowning was completed, Yan Lin stood up and bowed to Xie Wei again, then turned to look.
Xie Wei's gaze fell silently on Zhang Zhe's face, without saying a word.
Xiao Yuan was almost choked to death by this sentence, his face was bluish and blushing, his teeth were gritted, and he only said: "I don't know, I still use you to remind me?"
Then he handed the imperial decree forward and said, "Marquis Yongyi is here to receive the decree!"
Yan Mu came forward to receive the order, but when he looked at Zhang Zhe, his eyes lit up, thinking that Hou's mansion should not have such a friend, and he didn't know what medicine the other party sold in the gourd.
Xiao Yuan expected that once the matter was over, it would be appropriate. The surnamed Zhang should have no thorns to pick, and once again waved his hand to change someone to arrest him.
However, this time, before he could even speak, his eyelids jumped!
Because he actually saw this surnamed Zhang walking towards Yan Mu, and he stretched out his hand that was in his sleeve, as if to ask Yan Mu to see the imperial decree, but his face turned to him and asked a question "Dare to ask the lord of the country, just said that the news of the mutiny in the Tongzhou camp came an hour ago, and the sage has only issued an imperial decree to copy the Hou's mansion?"
What the hell is this guy trying to do!
Xiao Yuan was wearing a sword around his waist, but at this time he could not help holding the hilt, and replied coldly, "Exactly."
Zhang Zhe said to Yan Mu, "Please borrow the imperial decree to take a look."
Xiao Yuan was a little exasperated: "What do you want to do with the axe of the humble and low-ranking officials!"
Yan Mu rolled his eyes, but handed out the imperial edict directly.
Zhang Zhe took it over, and his long fingers with clear joints gently spread it out, and said only: "The grandfather of the country, please calm down, it is a big crime to loot the family and kill the family. According to the law, it is the meaning of the sage. It can only be issued after it has been stamped. The next official heard yesterday that Mr. Chu Xiyi from Zhongshu Province was ill, and the news of the mutiny in Tongzhou came an hour ago. It would take some time to invite Mr. Chu to enter the palace. Delay, one hour is not enough. So…”
By this time, his eyes had already fallen on this imperial edict.
The secret that I heard from Gu Chunfang in the last life is really true—
The imperial decree for the inspection of Yongyi Hou's mansion was indeed written by Shen Lang himself, but when the decree was announced back then, the imperial decree was actually only covered with the emperor's treasure seal, and there was no seal of Zhongshu Province! Later, the imperial decree that appeared in the case of Yongyi Houfu was complete with two seals. It is said that the newly appointed governor of Zhongshu Province Pingzhang affixed the Zhongshu Provincial Seal after copying the Houfu and slaughtering half of the people in the Houfu.
However, the old governor Chu Xiyi, the former governor of Pingzhang, was dismissed and returned to his hometown due to old illness. He died at home due to poverty and illness within half a year.
Gu Chunfang was the only one who went to express condolences to his colleagues.
Only then did we know about this matter, and it was roughly estimated that when Chu Xiyi became the governor of Pingzhang of Zhongshu Province, it was no different from Zaifu in the past, and how did he end up like this.
Zhang Zhe's eyes moved away from the blank space that should have been covered with the seal of Zhongshu Province, and landed on Xiao Yuan's face again. He only said, "I'm afraid that this imperial decree will not be announced, so I can't count it."
Xiao Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, he drew his sword and pointed it directly at his throat!
His words were already full of anger: "How dare you talk nonsense! The decree of the Holy Master's own letter should be yours?! This gentleman should cut your neck and head today and punish the party for chaos!"
Jiang Xuening never expected that Zhang Zhe would stand up, and he said such words one after another, reciting the laws and regulations of the Daqian Dynasty without falsifying the truth, but he just didn't know what the situation was in his last life today. Her heart suddenly jumped in her chest, and it almost jumped out of her throat!
Chen Ying quietly left Zhang Zhagang when he was talking.
However, Zhang Zhe himself was extremely calm.
He stretched out his hand and handed the imperial decree back, the flickering blade of the sword reflected his indifferent and cold face, no sorrow or joy, so he had to persuade him, saying: "It doesn't matter if the lord of the country kills the lower official in anger, the imperial decree is still the same. If you want to send it back to the palace, please ask the Zhongshu Department to affix a big seal before it can be issued."
The imperial decree has already been delivered, and the soldiers have already surrounded the mansion. This man actually said that the emperor's words were not counted, and he had to send it back to affix a seal and then come back to search the house!
No reason, no reason!
Xiao Yuan has never encountered such a bizarre incident in the past fifty years. He almost became angry. One Buddha came out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Smoke came out of the five holes and seven orifices. He couldn't even utter a complete sentence, and his hands kept shaking: "you you you-"
