Peng Dan led the three elders and ministers into the emperor's tent. This assassination is a major event, let alone involving Concubine Lan and the fourth prince, the series of turmoil that may be caused by it, only involving the Tatars is enough Everyone raised their hearts.

If it is not handled well, it will lead to a war between the two countries. Moreover, Tatar was hit by a snowstorm last year. I heard that there will be very little rain this year. The other side is eager to fight.

However, Great Chu has been in peace for a long time. Except for the vigorous and iron-blooded counterattack against the Tatars in the first few years when the emperor first ascended the throne, Great Chu has always adopted a soft policy for the past two decades. To fight—too hard!

Haven't you seen that both the Wei family and the Tao family have defected to Taisun to find a way out, and another Gu family who was born as a martial artist, two of the three sons are useless, and one is directly from Wen, um, the one from Wen is also useless.

Anyway, the Great Chu valued civility over martial arts so that the nobles found another way out. At this time, it is impossible to expect them to fight on the battlefield.

Therefore, Peng Dan and the others’ suggestion is that if there is no war, then there will be no war, but the Great Chu can’t be weakened. No matter how you look at this matter, the Tatars are weak, and Tatars are a vassal state of the Great Chu. Shouldn't I apologize?

The emperor didn't want to fight either, so he reached a consensus with the ministers on the external point, so the remaining issue was internal.

Now everyone is silent.

Concubine Lan Gui, who had always been favored, was imprisoned, and the fourth prince was guarded. Even if they were dead, they knew that this matter was inseparable from the mother and son.

The ministers of the fourth prince's family raised their hearts high, and felt that half of their heads had been lost, but the courtiers of the emperor's group and the prince's group were not happy. They also raised their hearts high, and they also remembered fifteen years ago. before.

Perhaps the Fourth Prince and Concubine Lan Gui deserved what they deserved, but if they were ordered to go to jail because of this, it is unknown how many people would be implicated in unjust killings.

In the case of Kaiping 15 years ago, officials from half the dynasty were involved. Their family members and friends were all imprisoned. The Dali Temple and the prisons of the Ministry of Punishment were filled to the brim.

We must know that the emperor wanted to cut them all down at that time, and even the three clans, tens of thousands of lives, if Qin Xinfang hadn't immediately admitted the crime of rebellion, and used the ruler left by his grandfather to force the emperor to make concessions, I'm afraid that the capital city will be stained red with blood fifteen years ago.

So at this moment, none of them, who were afraid of the past happening again, opened their mouths to crusade against Concubine Lan Gui and the fourth prince. Now they don't have a second Qin Xinfang, and they don't have a second ruler bestowed by the former emperor.

The emperor didn't care about their silence, and directly ordered: "The Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Dali Temple will thoroughly investigate the collusion of the Lan family with foreign enemies, and all those involved in this matter in the Fan Palace and the court will be arrested and handed over to the imperial guards for trial. "

The faces of the officials changed, and their worries came true. They said that it was handed over to the imperial guards for trial, but who didn't know that it was handed over to the dark guards?

With the methods of the hidden guards, the innocent will be judged for the crime, not to mention that the hidden guards are all perverts, they only value the confession, and they don't check the authenticity at all. If someone bites maliciously, the person who is bitten will be arrested and interrogated , Didn’t the Kaiping case 15 years ago be like this? The more the trial got bigger, the more people were implicated in the trial, and the evidence was not asked, only the confession was taken.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple knelt down and kowtowed: "Think twice, Your Majesty, the imperial guards are not good at adjudicating cases, and it is not in accordance with the rules to entrust this matter to them. If your majesty trusts me, I will do my best and die." .”

The other ministers also knelt down to warn them. The emperor was already in a bad mood, but now he was even more displeased. He said with a tense face, "This matter has been decided. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will assist the imperial guards immediately."

After finishing speaking, he waved impatiently and said, "I'm tired, you guys go down."

The faces of the ministers were ugly, and they looked at Peng Dan hesitantly. Peng Dan has always been aware of current affairs, so naturally he would not insist on admonishing, so he stepped down first.

The faces of the ministers were even more ugly. After all, they are not as good as Qin Xinfang. Although as a minister, he should obey the emperor, but the emperor should try his best to advise him when he makes mistakes. Peng Dan, as the chief assistant, cannot be a role model.

Several ministers were very unhappy, and their dissatisfaction with Peng Dan reached the highest point.

Peng Dan didn't know that his actions would cause his authority to be questioned in the future. As soon as he left the big tent, he said to everyone in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is in a rage now, and we should share his worries with you. It's better not to bother him with some small things." good."

Ministers: Hehe.

The emperor in the tent fell on his back as soon as everyone withdrew. Director Su quickly hugged him, and Su Yuanzheng, who had been waiting at the side earlier, rushed up to give the emperor the injection as quickly as possible.

As soon as Su Yuanzheng felt the emperor's pulse, his face changed drastically, "President Su," he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty's heart is beating too fast, you must ask colleagues from the Imperial Hospital to consult with you."

"Su Yuanzheng can't do it alone?"

Su Yuanzheng shook his head resolutely, "Your Majesty's heart is not good. Today, under the great sorrow and anger, not only the heart disease has worsened, but also the stroke has become more serious. It is really difficult for the lower officials to be sure."

Director Su immediately ordered someone to bring all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital.

The hunting ground, where the atmosphere had just been relaxed, was suddenly shrouded in a dignified atmosphere. Everyone was closely watching the imperial tent standing in the center. The life and death of the person inside was related to the fate of many people.

Many officials and family members began to kneel and chant the Buddha, but except themselves and their husbands, father and brothers, no one knew whether they were asking the Buddha to bless the supreme person to live, or whether they were just enjoying the bliss of the Western Paradise.

After the emperor ordered the imperial guards to thoroughly investigate the assassination, everyone's nerves were tense.

Regardless of whether they have experienced the Kaiping case fifteen years ago, they have all heard of it, and only then can they really understand what it means to be in a panic. Those who have already passed by are even more afraid, and not many people want him to survive.

After he died, the crown prince came to the throne. With the crown prince's kindness, as long as he was not a rebellious person, he should be able to save his life. At least their parents, wives and children can live.

Therefore, when the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital tried their best to treat the emperor, many people secretly prayed that the emperor would not wake up.

But it was clear that heaven still loved the emperor, so he woke up the next evening. Not only did he wake up, but he also summoned Wan Peng and asked him to move back to the palace.

The emperor was escorted back to the palace in an imperial seat, everyone saw it, and they couldn't help but feel disappointed, didn't they say that they were so sick that they called all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital, why did it look like nothing happened?

Of course the emperor couldn't be okay, he was able to sit because Director Su put three big pillows on the Yuchao for him to lean on, but even if he was going to die, he would never show it to let some people get their wish.

Tatar, Tatar, his grandfather and father both died because of Tatar, for the sake of the country, he has been enduring this bloody enmity, but now he no longer wants to bear it anymore, thinking that he will overthrow the Great Chu when he dies?

At this moment, the blood in the emperor's body was stirred up, and his eyes were burning with fire. He thought of his grandfather's difficulties, his father's hard work and early death, and he recalled the grand ambition he set when he was young!

Even if he was about to die, he would never let the Tatars take advantage of him. At this moment, he remembered that he was still the emperor of Great Chu, and remembered his responsibilities as an emperor.

Concubine Lan Gui has been under strict guard since she was taken down. She thought the emperor would interrogate her immediately, but no, the emperor ignored her that night, and did not show up the next day. On the third day, they were on their way back to the palace. It was not until the evening of the fourth day that she was brought before the emperor.

At this time, Concubine Lan Gui looked haggard, her face was pale and wrinkled, as if she would lose her vitality once the spirit that supported her disappeared, and she was just waiting for death.

The emperor looked at her silently. He really liked her. For her, he abandoned state affairs and even wanted to abolish the crown prince and set up another one. He imprisoned the queen with whom he married in the Kunning Palace for sixteen years.

"Isn't I treating you well enough?" The emperor asked shyly, "I want to know why?"

Concubine Lan knelt down, and said disheartenedly: "Your Majesty is very kind to my concubines, but just too good. When my concubines are impeached by the courtiers, and when they are scolded by the concubines in the harem, they always feel panic , His Majesty is so good to his concubines, but what if one day His Majesty no longer loves his concubines, or His Majesty no longer? How will the concubines and the emperor deal with themselves at that time?"

"They promised to fight for the throne for the emperor..."

The emperor couldn't help but sneered, his whole body became sharp, and he said coldly: "My great Chu, my imperial throne needs a vassal state to promise you, and you still believe it?"

Concubine Lan's mouth moved. If it wasn't for the help of Tatar, how could the emperor be so forceful to abolish the crown prince fifteen years ago?

And even though he was so strong, he still didn't abolish the other party. Even if they created such a good condition back then, it showed how weak the emperor's promise to her was.

Da Chu's throne is not decided by him alone, it has to be agreed by the courtiers.

However, looking at the emperor with the same pale face, Concubine Lan swallowed these words secretly.

The emperor pointed at her excitedly and said angrily, "You idiot, you are so stupid!"

Concubine Lan Gui slowly fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, I did this alone. The Lan family and the emperor didn't know about it. I beg Your Majesty to be merciful. Just think of it, think of our thirty years of friendship. "

Tears flowed slowly from the emperor's eyes, "You asked me to remember your love, why didn't you remember your love when you wanted to kill me?"

Concubine Lan bit her lower lip tightly, thinking of the Lan family, thinking of the fourth prince, and thinking of the consequences of this incident, she couldn't help but tremble.

The emperor looked at her quietly, and for the first time he didn't hold her in his arms to comfort her when he saw her fear. After a long time, he asked slowly: "You also planned what happened fifteen years ago? When is the cooperation?"

Concubine Lan Gui slowly calmed down, and said on the ground: "Your Majesty thinks too highly of my concubines, and my concubines don't have that much energy," she said with a full face of memories: "After entering the palace, my concubines were favored by the emperor, and what I asked for was not that much. Not much, it's just staying with His Majesty peacefully and raising the emperor's son."

"But there is a crisis in the harem. Even if His Majesty protects the concubines, the concubines still suffer from time to time. The empress is generous, but how can a concubine, the daughter of a mill owner, fight against the queen who came from a family? The concubine is often scared to sleep by the queen's eyes that look like ants, for fear that one day when she wakes up, she will go to hell and never see her majesty and the emperor's son again."
