Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 243 Sixth Sister, I Only Have You in My Heart

Gongsun Wen came to the palace angrily. He was going to Xingwen Pavilion. He wanted to see who issued the document with his handwriting and seal. He had to seek justice for this matter.

A direct bachelor of Xingwen Pavilion naturally has the right to enter and leave Xingwen Pavilion.

But Xingwen Pavilion is in the palace, it is night, and all the gates of the palace are closed, if you want to go to Xingwen Pavilion, according to the rules, you have to wait until tomorrow.

Gongsun Wen didn't want to wait for tomorrow, it was not difficult for him to sneak into the palace, he wanted to go to Xingwen Pavilion to see what kind of place it was.

Jump into the imperial palace from the Xihua Gate, pass through the Jiying Hall, pass the Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, and Baowen Pavilion, and finally come to the Xinxiu Xingwen Pavilion.

Xingwen Pavilion is a three-storey book pavilion, the scale is really not small, the inside of the book pavilion is pitch black, and there are no guards guarding the door.

Gongsun Wen didn't go through the door, and jumped to the corridor on the second floor, and entered a library through the window.

Walking out of the library, down the stairs to the first floor, he quickly found the copy room.

Daxuan's Royal Book Pavilion has the same structure, and the copy room is a special place for drafting documents. Gongsun Wen came to the side of the book case, and saw a piece of paper under the moonlight.

The document has just been written, in Gongsunwen's handwriting.

There are a few names written on it, which are the four masters he met tonight.

These four teachers were expelled from the school by "Gongsun Wen" because they refused to disband the Dragon Nu Society.

Shameless, really shameless.

This is the evidence that Xingwenge forged documents!

Gongsun Wen was about to put away the paperwork and was about to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to talk to the prince when he suddenly saw a light lit up beside him.

"Scholar Gongsun, it's so late, and I'm still dealing with government affairs. I'm ashamed to be so diligent."

It is too much.

Gongsun Wen was shocked, and even thought of using force in his desperation.

But Tai Bu didn't intend to use force, he let out a soft cry, and dozens of lights in the copy room were turned on together.

The door opened, and the crown prince came in, followed by Zhong Can, followed by Yan Anqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, followed by all the cabinet ministers, and also followed several disciples of Gongsun Wen, including Zhou Kairong.

Gongsun Wenye broke into the palace, and everyone present became witnesses.

He didn't know how to make an excuse, in fact he had no chance to justify at all, breaking into the palace at night was an unforgivable crime.

There was only one trick left, to bite the document in his hand and not let go, saying that he had received the news that someone pretended to be his own handwriting and forged the Xingwen Pavilion document, and he came here to check it.

Although it still doesn't make sense legally, at least it can leave a little room for excuses.

But he was wrong again.

The prince did not intend to pursue his crime of breaking into the palace at night.

"Scholar Gongsun, I told you that you didn't come to Xingwen Pavilion during the day, and thought you didn't care about the errand of a direct scholar. It turns out that the official affairs are too busy, so you have time to deal with the affairs of the Book Pavilion at night."

Gongsun Wen was stunned.

The prince came back for me?

Why is he trying to smooth things over for me?
The prince walked forward with a smile and said, "Let me see the document drafted by Bachelor Gongsun."

Gongsun Wen looked at the document in his hand, and he understood the prince's intention.

This forged fake document is now a real document.

He didn't want to give it, but now he couldn't help it. Tai Bu and Zhong Shen were both here.

Regardless of the deterrence of imperial power or the deterrence of force, Gongsun Wen could only choose to submit.

He handed the document to the prince, the prince read it once, and said with emotion: "These people are really disgusting. They are the disciples of Gongsun Xueshi, but they dare to disobey the teacher's order. Gongsun Xueshi expelled them from the teacher's school, and dealt with them properly!"

Tai Bu looked at Zhou Kairong and the others, and asked, "Do you think it was handled properly?"

"It's right, Master handled it right!"

Zhou Kairong's face was pale. He and several of his classmates had been trapped in Xingwen Pavilion for a whole day and night. They were struggling for life and death every minute of every second. Their spirits had already collapsed. Let alone a few classmates, let them be on the spot now. They would not hesitate to call Gongsun Wen a bastard.

The prince said: "Mr. Gongsun's documents will be transcribed immediately tonight, and will be posted in various parts of the capital tomorrow, so as to serve as a warning to others!"

Yan Anqing said: "Your Highness, I think these people should be punished for disobeying the Xingchen Pavilion's control and openly defying the imperial court!"

The prince thought for a moment and said: "Very good, please trouble the first assistant Yan to draft an edict, and this palace will approve it overnight."

Yan Anqing said: "Your Highness can rest earlier, it will not be too late to deal with this matter tomorrow."

"How can we wait until tomorrow!" The prince looked at Gongsun Wendao, "Scholar Gongsun is so diligent, how can I slack off, the edict will be handed over to the Imperial City Secretary tonight, and these people will be arrested and brought to justice tomorrow.

Commander Zhong and Scholar Gongsun's paperwork will be accepted together, and will be read by Lantern Lang in public in various parts of the capital tomorrow. This is ironclad evidence, but let's see how these traitors argue! "

Gongsun Wen said nothing.

Looking at the prince's smile, and seeing the stern expressions of Tai Bu and Zhong Shen, he knew that he had no chance to speak.

He underestimated the prince, this is not the first time he underestimated the prince, but he didn't expect it to be so fatal this time.

He became the leader in disbanding the Dragon's Fury Society, and his hands were stained with the blood of his disciples.

After the drafting of the imperial edict was completed, the crown prince approved it immediately. Zhong Shen took the imperial edict and ordered Shi Xun to go get the man.

This is the last chance the crown prince gave Shi Xun. If anyone slips through the net tonight, Shi Xun will be dismissed immediately.

But tonight, Gongsun Wen must live in Xingwen Pavilion, and Taibo will accompany him here. Outside the book pavilion, there are a group of eunuchs led by Lu Yunxi, and a large trap left by Zhong Shen.

……

The affairs of Xingwen Pavilion were properly handled, the crown prince went to Yuyao Palace, Liang Yuyao had already fallen asleep, and when he heard that the crown prince was coming, she hurriedly cleaned up and came out to greet him.

Times have changed, the crown prince is already in charge of the country, and he is only one step away from enthroning, so he can't play around like usual now.

Liang Yuyao saluted the prince respectfully, the prince shunned the left and right, sat in front of Liang Yuyao and said, "Sixth sister, I've been away for so long, do you miss me?"

Liang Yuyao's face was pale, she took two steps back and said, "Prince, please don't joke."

The prince's expression was very serious, "Who told you that you are joking, you have never been on a battlefield, where life and death are only a moment, every time the knife and ax come to the fore, all I think of is Sixth Sister..."

Liang Yuyao stepped forward and covered the prince's mouth: "If others hear this, Elder Shengwei will be the first to cut me off!"

"Afraid of what he will do, I will go to the Canglong Hall tomorrow and say that I am sincere to Sixth Sister..."

Liang Yuyao covered her mouth again: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The prince's face was blue and purple, and he signaled to Liang Yuyao that he was about to suffocate to death.

Liang Yuyao let go, the prince gasped for a moment and said, "I want soldiers."

"Why do you want soldiers to come after me?" Liang Yuyao said angrily, "I only have dozens of girls from the Red Clothes Pavilion here. If you like them, take them all."

"Dozens are not enough, I need a hundred thousand troops."

"One hundred thousand troops! Your Royal Highness, you really think highly of me!" Liang Yuyao laughed three times, patted her conscience and said, "Look at how many people I have here, just take them all, if you still think it's not enough, send me Send a piece to the battlefield, and I can fight quite well!"

"Sixth Sister, you have contacts with Fang Shichen, the right servant of the Ministry of War."

"You're idle, I'm a princess who hasn't left the court, what kind of relationship can I have with him?"

The prince stepped forward and grabbed Liang Yuyao's hand and said, "Sixth sister, you are the only one in my heart..."

Liang Yuyao shook off the crown prince, and said helplessly: "Forget it, don't talk about anything, I have a spy by Fang Shichen's side, that girl can find out some news, but if you want to talk about the one hundred thousand army, it's not just a moment. You can ask in a moment."

The prince put his arms around Liang Yuyao and said: "Sixth sister, I will go to Canglong Hall tomorrow and make it clear to Elder Shengwei that I will not marry you!"

Liang Yuyao pushed the crown prince away and shouted: "Liang Yuyang, do you think he owes you, I will ask you tomorrow, you leave Yuyao Palace right now."

The prince took two steps back, and bowed deeply: "Then don't disturb Sixth Sister's rest."

At noon the next day, Shi Xun publicly executed more than a dozen masters of the Dragon Fury Society at the entrance of the downtown area.

It is not difficult to arrest people, and it is not difficult to interrogate ordinary people. As long as the crown prince and the cabinet both agree, Shi Xun is not such a waste.

Seeing more than a dozen heads fall to the ground, the Confucian scholar turned pale with fright, and secretly looked at Gongsun Wen.

Gongsun Wen stood in the center of the execution ground, with Zhong Shen on the left, Tai Bu on the right, Lu Yunxi behind him, and the crown prince in front of him.

He can't do anything, he can only say: "Good kill!"

The Confucian scholars were in despair, their master, their spiritual pillar, stood with their enemies at this moment, looking numbly at the corpse on the ground.

The mighty Dragon's Fury Society collapsed overnight.

Coming back from the prince, this seems to be the doomed result.

To be precise, from Liang Jixiong, Tai Bu and Zhong Shen standing together, this has become a doomed result.

Why are the three of them standing together?
After all, it was because of the prince.

……

In the middle of the night, Liang Yuyao came to the East Palace and told the prince the news.

"Three hundred miles north of the capital, there is a military camp outside Chengjia Village."

The prince said: "That is the Pingzhou camp, there are more than [-] Pingzhou defenders inside."

Liang Yuyao shook her head and said, "There are more than [-] people in the Pingzhou camp. The spies got the news from Fang Shichen. There are [-] people in the Pingzhou camp, all recruited by Sui Zhi from various sources."

"Only [-]?" The prince was a little disappointed.

"[-] is quite a lot. These are elite soldiers, but they only obey Sui Zhi's orders. It may not be so easy for you to deploy troops."

"It's not easy, but we have to find a way! I guess Fang Shichen will have a way!"

Liang Yuyao sneered: "What can that trash do?"

"He's not a waste," the prince said with a smile. "If you can ask him something, it proves that he is a smart person."

Liang Yuyao frowned and said, "Why can't I understand this?"

The prince didn't answer, but murmured: "I'll take these [-] elite soldiers to defend Yongzhou first, and see if I can recruit some troops along the way."

Liang Yuyao said: "Are you still going to fight? Let's make a big statement about how good you are, and you are the only one missing on the battlefield?"

The prince sighed: "If I don't go, the morale of the army will be lost. You don't know how difficult the battle in Yongzhou is."

"Then I'll go with you," Liang Yuyao got up and said, "I'm also a descendant of the royal family. For the sake of my ancestors, even if I'm a daughter, I can't be vague."

The prince smiled and said, "Of course my sister is unambiguous, but you can't go to war!"

"Why not?" Liang Yuyao said with a smile, "Afraid that I will steal your seat because of my military exploits?"

The prince lowered his head and said slowly: "If I can't come back, you have to guard the country!"
