Seeing that Ye Chang was still asleep, Sun Zeyu didn't seem to notice, but he knew that Ye Shizi should be awake and listening to him.
So, he continued, "As for the Prince's Mansion of Xiangcheng County, which is located in the east, it is highly valued by the emperor and governs a territory. The matter is quite involved, and it may be deeply involved in the case, but it is very well kept secret."
The emperor's face was cold and he didn't speak.
Sun Zeyu continued, "But even so, the western region has just stabilized after a few months of fighting, and General Su dared not evacuate the western region. It is rumored that a large number of people in black from the Ye family in the southern region intercepted the owner of the Ye family and beat the Ye family members. The Ye family is not very stable. Now the Yanbei land in the north is being invaded by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the military situation is urgent. In terms of peace in the four realms, only the east realm is left. If the Xiangjun palace is moved at this time, there may be troubles in the east realm again , then it will be tricky.”
The emperor said nothing with a cold face.
Sun Zeyu continued, "In addition, for many years, the King of Xiangjun has a very good reputation for caring for his people. He is loved by the people in the Eastern Realm. The world knows it and cannot be easily moved. Once the King of Xiangjun is moved, the people of the Eastern Realm may cause chaos. "
The emperor's face turned cold again.
Sun Zeyu concluded, "So, I believe that the mansion of Duke Anguo and Marquis Jingyang should be severely dealt with first, and the rest of the people involved in the case will be held accountable and liquidated. As for the mansion of the Prince of Xiangjun, it can only be temporarily erased, and it will be settled later." .”
The emperor looked at Ye Chang upon hearing the words, "Ye Chang, are you awake? You can also tell me."
Ye Chang opened his eyes. After taking a nap, he seemed to have recovered a bit of his complexion, but his face was still pale. He slowly reached out and rubbed the center of his brows, stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I recommend that Sun What the young master said, there is nothing to say, people who are dangerous and harmful to the country cannot be kept, they should be removed, be vigilant in the world, and not be sentenced lightly. Don't think that Taizong's alchemy can save your life, don't think that the gold medal to avoid death is enough. You can really save yourself from death."
Hearing this, the emperor looked at him and said, "The second son of An Guogong's mansion, and the third son of Jingyanghou's mansion, Shen Qi, have had a close personal relationship with you since childhood. They are also in the An Guogong's mansion and Jingyanghou's mansion. Inside, if I kill them all, can you stand it?"
Ye Chang was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and said, "Since it is the crime of copying and beheading, hundreds of people in the two mansions can bear it, how can I not bear it? The salary of eating the king is a matter of loyalty. The salary of eating the king of the two mansions is not Loyal to the monarch, betraying the country and being an adulterer, this is the rightful end. If their son had an affair with me, I would cheat for personal gain, ignoring the countless soldiers who buried their bones in the Western Territory twelve years ago and the lives of countless people who died in the Lingshan plague four years ago. .I am also in vain. At worst, I will say sorry to them when I see them in the future. Who told them that they didn’t have a good birth and voted in these two houses? If they forgive me today for not asking for mercy, in the next life I still wish to be a brother with me, and I will be a brother in the next life."
The emperor turned pale when he heard the words, took two steps forward, patted Ye Chang on the shoulder, and sighed, "It's not easy for our ancestors to conquer the country, and it's even more difficult for the ancestors of the past generations to guard the country. I am ashamed of my ancestors and my ancestors for my historical achievements. Now that the foundation of the country is in such a state of internal and external troubles, I dare not be soft-hearted. I think that both Taizong and the emperor can understand my heart to protect the foundation of the country. , and will not blame me for neglecting Taizong Danshu and the first emperor's gold medal for avoiding death, and punishing An Guogong's mansion and Jingyanghou mansion."
Ye Chang nodded and remained silent.
The emperor patted him on the shoulder twice again, "The prince is now in such a situation that he can no longer share my worries. The princes are young, and I am afraid that there will be no successors in this country. Ye Chang, although your surname is Ye, your blood After all, you are the descendants of the Liu family, and it is right to have the world in your heart. Your father, mother, concubine, and all the soldiers guarded the country forged with blood, and you will always take on the heavy responsibility. I only hope that your health will get better soon, and share my worries .”
Ye Chang raised his head slowly and gently, glanced at the emperor, and smiled faintly, "The emperor is still young. Although the crown prince is ill, the little princes are still good enough. The emperor does not need to worry too early. The clan and the royal family have always been one. Inherited in the same line, one body with the same root, I, like all the descendants of the clan, will never forget the fundamentals of our ancestors to fight for the country and keep the foundation. To share the worries of the country and the affairs of the family."
Hearing the words, the emperor took a deep look at him, withdrew his hand, and said with relief, "It makes sense." After saying that, he waved his hand, "Okay, you go back, if the deployment of Jinglu is properly prepared , from tomorrow onwards, we will recuperate behind closed doors, and no one will have to see anyone. Only when the wound is healed can we share my worries, and if the wound is not healed, everything will be empty talk."
Ye Chang nodded, said no more, and left the imperial study.
After he walked out of the imperial study room, he looked up at the sky, the bright moon was hanging high, illuminating the night very brightly. The fog at night can be seen very clearly. As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, the wind at night is cool, and the summer clothes can no longer keep warm, so it's time to add more clothes.
Ye Chang paused at the entrance of the imperial study, and just about to leave, Koizumi came out and said in a low voice, "Ye Shizi, the emperor asked the slave to take you back to the mansion."
Ye Chang looked back from the sky, glanced back at him, shook his head, "No need."
Koizumi said, "The emperor ordered that Ye Shizi must be sent back to the mansion safely, and my slave will send you back."
Hearing this, Ye Chang no longer shirked his excuses, and walked slowly towards the palace gate by default.
Koizumi followed Ye Chang step by step.
After leaving the palace gate, Ye Chang got into the carriage, and Koizumi followed him to send Ye Chang back to Prince Rong'an's mansion.
Back at Prince Rong'an's Mansion, Ye Chang got out of the carriage and entered the mansion, and Koizumi turned back to the palace.
Ye Chang stepped into the gate of the mansion, and after a few steps, he stopped, turned around, and returned to the gate of the mansion, looking at the gold-plated plaque of the Rong An Palace.
The bronzing plaque of Prince Rong'an's Mansion is still the same. It has been eroded and baptized for several months, and the golden brilliance has not faded.
He watched for a long time.
Qian Han stood silently behind Ye Chang, although the night was cold, but this time, he didn't say anything to remind him.
After a long time, Ye Chang looked away, walked into the gate of the mansion without saying a word, and at the same time told Qian Han, "From tomorrow onwards, thank you behind closed doors, and no one will be seen."
"Yes." Qian Han replied.
After Ye Chang left the imperial study, the emperor said to Sun Zeyu, "I dispatched three thousand imperial guards for your use, and investigate immediately."
Sun Zeyu's heart trembled, "I obey the order."
The emperor gave an order to the outside world, "Come here, order the commander of the imperial guards to come and see me immediately."
Someone responded and went immediately.
Not long after, Zhang Linqi, the commander of the imperial guards, arrived.
The emperor ordered him, "Allow 3,000 people from the imperial guards to be dispatched by Sun Zeyu to cooperate with him in investigating the case."
Zhang Linqi bowed his head in response, took his orders, and went out of the imperial study together with Sun Zeyu.
Sun Zeyu held the dossier in his hand, and after leaving the imperial study, he said to Zhang Lin, commander of the imperial guards, "Commander Zhang, I'm sorry."
Zhang Linqi hurriedly cupped his hands, "Your Majesty Sun, you are welcome, you and I are acting according to the emperor's will, you just need to tell me."
Sun Zeyu nodded, "Each party sent 1,500 Imperial Guards to search the Mansion of Duke Anguo and Marquis Jingyang. Everyone will be arrested and imprisoned immediately. No one will be let go."
Zhang Linqi nodded.
Sun Zeyu raised his hand again, shook the list in his hand and said, "You and I will go to Anguo Gong's mansion first, and the rest of these people will be investigated tomorrow."
Zhang Linqi should be.
The two left the palace together, and Zhang Linqi quickly dispatched 3,000 imperial guards. After ordering them, 1,500 imperial guards went to Anguo Gong's mansion, and 1,500 imperial guards went to Jingyanghou's mansion.
Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets were brightly lit in the middle of the night, and many people in each mansion did not rest, and the lights were brightly lit.
If there is any disturbance in the capital, it cannot be concealed, let alone such a big incident in Yanbei. Since Su Fengnuan left in a hurry at the banquet, the emperor ordered the prime minister, Ye Chang, Xu Yunchu and others to discuss matters in the imperial study, and after Su Fengnuan took away 200,000 Jinglu soldiers and horses, many courtiers' mansions vaguely inquired After news of Yanbei Army's emergency situation, Xu Yunchu led fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army to leave, and the head of state entered the palace late at night, causing a lot of commotion. Many courtiers felt that something serious happened. The Emperor even sent the Imperial Forest Army.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was tired and couldn't bear to rest, Sun Zeyu led the imperial guards, holding the emperor's imperial decree, without any warning, quickly surrounded Anguo Gong's mansion and Jingyanghou mansion, and searched the two mansions according to the order.
All of a sudden, there was a storm in Beijing.
An Guogong's mansion heard that the imperial guards were surrounding and searching. For a while, everyone in the mansion was crying and grabbing the ground. An Guogong was shocked, and hurriedly got up and asked to enter the palace to meet the emperor. Sun Zeyu shook his head, and the imperial guards went to An Guogong. The shackles are taken to the prison of the Ministry of punishment.
There are two hundred and thirteen people in Anguo Gongfu's whole family. After counting, there is only one missing statement.
The imperial guards searched all over the An Guogong's mansion, but found no statement, so they reported to Sun Zeyu, and Sun Zeyu issued an order, "Interrogate one by one, who knows the whereabouts of Second Young Master Chen, to be honest, I will ask the emperor to pardon him from death."
The housekeeper of Duke Anguo's mansion said loudly at this time, "My second son heard the news that Uncle Xiaoguo led the Imperial Forest Army to Yanbei, so he followed him."
Sun Zeyu heard the words and asked, "But is it true?"
The butler nodded in amazement, "The Duke was so angry that he scolded the Second Young Master, but the Second Young Master had already left by then. The Duke ordered no one to chase him, and let the Second Young Master go."
Sun Zeyu nodded and waved his hand. All the people in the Duke's Mansion of Anguo were sent to the dungeon, leaving the imperial guards to search the mansion. They left the Duke of Anguo's Mansion with Zhang Linqi, and headed to the Manor of Jingyang with the imperial decree.
The Jingyanghou Mansion has now collapsed, and Princess Ruiyue was also awakened by the imperial guards who searched in the middle of the night. When she heard that the emperor ordered the search, Princess Ruiyue was furious, and immediately took out the gold medal of the late emperor. But the imperial guards didn't seem to be there. Including Princess Ruiyue and Jing Jinghou, the 178 people in the whole house were all locked and locked, including the eldest lady Shen Zhilan, the second lady Shen Yan, and the third son Shen. Qi.
