A few days after returning from Prince Xie's Mansion, another major event shook the court and the opposition. Following Beichen Shaoyuan's house arrest, this incident caused another wave of unrest in the court.
That day, I just received a letter from Cangmu, saying that he and Xiaojia would be returning to Nanhuai soon.
I was happy for a while. Without Xiao Jia, a smart girl, there was a lot less lively at home.
Just thinking about their return in a few days, Yin Yi suddenly hurried in, the half-closed door slammed open with a squeak, Yin Yi rarely breaks into my bedroom, and in his memory he has never been so lost. Square inches.
I looked up in amazement, and he stood in the sunset with a pale face.
"Jun Xiang has been thrown into the Heavenly Prison!" Looking at me, he spat out every word, trying to keep his voice low, for fear of scaring me.
I was indeed shocked, but with Beichen Shaoyuan's suggestion, I was vaguely prepared. It's just, I didn't expect that Beichen Tianheng's movements were so fast.
The room was quiet, and my mind quickly revolved. Ziwei City had just undergone such a tragic upheaval. The emperor and concubine were imprisoned, the king was banned, and the changes in officials involved in the corruption case have not yet subsided. Which one does not need time. to settle? In such a short period of time, how could the imperial court forbid the tossing.
Putting Beichen Shaoyuan under house arrest is tantamount to removing one of the pillars of the Xi Kingdom. How could Beichen Tianheng dare to pull Jun Qidao off his horse? At this time, even if Jun Qidao was his father's enemy, he could not easily touch him. The loss of two important figures in a row caused the officials to panic, and it must have a huge impact on the state of Xi.
"Master?"
Yin Yi called me out of worry, it was my frowning and thoughtful look that made him uneasy.
I calmed down, raised my head and motioned for him to sit down.
"Mr. Yin, do you know what the crime is?"
"It is said that in the case of 'Huofengdan', it was discovered that Jun Xiang and Tuyuan secretly colluded to murder the emperor and the concubine!" Yin Yi's warm smile has been replaced by Frost, "No one outsiders knows that the emperor and concubine are imprisoned now. , this is still a felony!"
His worries are not unreasonable. Murdering the emperor and the concubine is already outrageous. If the charge of collaborating with Tuyuan is also confirmed, then collaborating with the enemy and treason has been a serious crime since ancient times, and there is no room for negotiation on the death penalty.
What's more, when Jun Qidao lost power, I was the first to bear the brunt. Not to mention that I was his son, it was the case of "Huofengdan". I can't get rid of the relationship if the person is a little embellished.
"Who is in charge of this case?"
"Strictly."
Strictly! Dali Temple Shaoqing is strict! I am very impressed by this young official with black moles. It is the case of "Huofeng Dan" that he handled. It is no wonder that he dared to move the king to pray for this great Buddha. He searched all over the country of Xi. People dare to be the first.
"But it was Master Yan's insistence that the emperor did not impose a capital sentence, but only sent the prince to the heavenly prison!" Yin Yi said with admiration.
"Oh?" I was surprised, since it was his case, why did he stop it.
"It's the Censor's Desk that is the one who's the lord!" Yin Yi explained, his face agitated, "but Mr. Yan said in the briefing that there are many suspicious points in this case, and the file is unknown, so we can't make a hasty decision!"
Yan Zhun is really upright and honest, knowing that Jun Qidao is hard to get rid of in the corruption case, but he did not use it to suppress him, but tried his best to exonerate him.
"Why is the Censor's office so tough?" I wondered.
Although Beichen Shaoyuan, Jun Qidao, and Yushitai are three-legged in the court of Xi Kingdom, everyone knows that only Beichen Shaoyuan and Jun Qidao hold real power. It's probably like an honorary title, with a glamorous appearance.
"Young master forgot that Mr. Mo from the Censor's Terrace had a marriage with the Junfu!" Yin Yi nodded meaningfully to me.
I suddenly realized that Mo Gaosheng, the chief of the censor's desk, was not Mo Xichen's father! Self-destructing the marriage, Mo Gaosheng has many complaints in his heart, but because of the rising power of Jun Qidao, he dares not to speak out.
Moreover, behind this, there must be Beichen Tianheng's acquiescence, or even secret instructions, otherwise Mo Gaosheng would not dare to be so blatant, Beichen Tianheng would not have put Jun Qidao in prison so easily.
It seems that Beichen Tianheng is determined to remove the two giants that threaten his imperial power.
"Mr. Yin, I want to go to Tian Prison to see my father!" After all, he is my "father" after all. Even if he is Jun Shuxing Jun Shujing's brother and sister, I should do my filial piety for them.
"I'll go with you!" Yin Yi looked at the sky and got up to invite autumn.
The three of us were about to set off when Beichen Tianheng's imperial decree arrived again.
Yin Yi and I looked at each other, what was going on this time, his imperial decree came too often!
In a hurry, it didn't matter, but he reminded me again not to get involved. The warning from the last time is still vivid in my mind. It turned out that he had a plan, and Jun Qidao was going to get rid of it sooner or later, but I made him take great pains.
"How can this be good?" I couldn't help but mess up.
I promised that I wouldn't stand up for Jun Qidao or Beichen Shaoyuan. Of course, I don't know what to do. After all, I'm just a little bachelor, it's a matter of the imperial court, or what Beichen Tianheng decides. , I have no right to speak at all.
But Jun Qi said, I can't see death without saving me.
"Master!" Yin Yi pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "Maybe I can ask His Royal Highness for help!"
"King Xie?" I said in surprise, "He can't protect himself, so how can he be free!"
"Who said that this king can't protect himself?" A lazy voice came from outside the door, and Bei Chen Shaoyuan, dressed in white and gold satin, walked in leisurely.
"Why are you here!" I widened my eyes. Wasn't he under house arrest in the palace and not allowed to leave for half a step
Beichen Shaoyuan walked into my room and glanced at Yin Yi casually. Yin Yi had returned to his normal expression at this moment, and looked back at him without any fear.
"Master, I'm going out first." After a while, Yin Yi said to me lightly and backed out.
"Hey—" Before I could say anything, Yin Yiyi looked at me to stop me, and gave Beichen Shaoyuan a very quick look.
Beichen Shaoyuan is leisurely pouring tea for himself.
I had to let Yin Yi leave me alone. I always felt that the two had reached a tacit understanding that I couldn't understand.
"What's going on?" I was at a loss at the moment, Jun Qidao was imprisoned, but Beichen Shaoyuan regained his freedom, and the transformation became too fast.
"This king finally came to you, without entertaining this king first?" Beichen Shaoyuan was in no hurry, sipping tea slowly, and looking around my room with interest.
"The house is shabby! I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain His Royal Highness!" I said angrily.
