Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 207
Entering the inner city, Yuan Wenshao saw several houses surrounded by officers and soldiers, who were arresting people.

The female relatives were crying and crying, completely losing their previous dignity and dignity.

Yuan Wenshao did not pity these people, perhaps many of them must be innocent.

But if King Yan's rebellion succeeds, the men in their family will naturally be promoted to nobility, and their status will also rise.

However, seeing the fate of these people, Yuan Wenshao reminded himself that he must be careful.

If one day he makes a wrong move, he may end up worse than these people.

When I got home, the concierge reported that Sun Xu was here.

When Yuan Wenshao heard this, he knew that Sun Xu should be here for Liu Lei's matter.

When he came to the front hall, Yuan Weichang was talking with Sun Xu.

Sun Xu was in a bad mood because of something on his mind. When he saw Yuan Wenshao come in, he stood up.

"Erlang, you are back, Liu Lei..."

As soon as Sun Xugang opened his mouth, he stopped when he thought that Yuan Weichang was still there.

Yuan Weichang smiled and said: "Erlang, it's just the right time for you to come back. Grandpa Sun has been waiting for you for a long time. Let's chat. Your mother and I didn't go back last night. Your elder brother was also worried, so we went back first."

"Dad, let me see you off." Yuan Wenshao said.

"No, just stay with Mr. Sun." After Yuan Weichang finished speaking, he nodded to Sun Xu and left the front hall.

"Erlang, someone ransacked Liu Lei's house early this morning. I learned the news and rushed there. The official who ransacked the house said that Liu Lei participated in the rebellion and refused to say anything else. Now Liu Lei's wife and children are in jail at the Ministry of Justice."

As soon as Yuan Weichang left, Sun Xu said anxiously.

"Don't be impatient. Sit down and talk." Yuan Wenshao said.

"How can I not be anxious? How could Liu Lei participate in the rebellion if he is fine? Is there any misunderstanding in this?" Sun Xu asked.

Yuan Wenshao pondered for a while and said, "He really participated."

"what?"

Sun Xu's body was shaken and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

"The last time he invited me to Guangyuntai, I was to serve as a broker for Prince Yan. Prince Yan was also there that day." Yuan Wenshao said.

"How could this be?"

Sun Xu was stunned for a while before he had to believe this fact.

"Erlang, can you think of a way to save him? I heard that you participated in counterinsurgency. You must have a way, right?"

Yuan Wenshao showed a wry smile and said: "Rebellion is a serious crime against the nine tribes. Do you think I can do something about it?"

Sun Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, what can you do about this kind of crime? Is Liu Lei crazy? His family is already a marquis. Even if he helps King Yan succeed in the rebellion, he cannot be promoted to the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Is he Can’t you even understand this?”

"I asked him before, and it seems that it was his father's intention, but he himself was not very willing." Yuan Wenshao said.

"How could such a shrewd person as Marquis Zhongjing do such a stupid thing?" Sun Xu said in disbelief.

Yuan Wenshao shook his head, unwilling to say more on this issue, and said: "Don't worry, Liu Lei will definitely not be saved. Let's think of a way to see if we can save his wife and children."

"Do you have any idea?" Sun Xu said excitedly.

"I'm not sure either. Let's do our best and let fate dictate." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Erlang, I can only rely on you for this matter. I am a low-key person in Bianjing, so I can't help at all." Sun Xu said.

"Yes." Yuan Wenshao nodded and said, "You should go back first. I will try to enter the palace later and let you know if there is any news."

Sun Xu also knew that he could not help much, so he told Yuan Wenshao to inform him as soon as possible when there was news, and then left.

Yuan Wenshao saw off Sun Xu and as soon as he returned to the front yard, he saw Yuan Weichang waiting there.

"Erlang, Young Master Sun is here because of the incident involving Sanlang of the Zhongjing Hou family, right?" Yuan Weichang asked.

"Yes." Yuan Wenshao nodded.

Yuan Weichang said solemnly: "You must not interfere with this matter. It is a serious crime of rebellion. Although you have made great achievements this time, we still don't know what the temper of the future new king will be. If you plead for him, let him If the new king is not happy, then the gain is not worth the loss."

"Dad, I can't ignore this matter. Liu Lei and I have a good relationship. If I don't care about it at this time, what will others think of me?" Yuan Wenshao said.

"But if someone takes the opportunity to criticize you and says that you are on good terms with the rebels, what should you do?" Yuan Weichang said.

Yuan Wenshao smiled and said: "Dad, it's not scary for others to criticize me. As long as the new king doesn't believe it, it can't do anything to me. I just went to beg for mercy. Whether it succeeds or not, it has no impact on me."

He also thought carefully about interceding for Liu Lei.

He has a good relationship with Liu Lei, and Zhao Zongquan will definitely know about it in the future.

It is human nature to plead for a friend, and even if Zhao Zongquan disagrees, he will not blame him.

If he does nothing, he will inevitably have a reputation as a cold person.

If Zhao Zongquan knew about it, he might not be happy with him.

After all, loyalty is not only related to filial piety, but also related to righteousness.

Can you expect an unjust person to be loyal?

Of course, when Yuan Wenshao interceded for Liu Lei, he did not want to show Zhao Zongquan that he was a loyal person.

After all, the two of them were good friends. If he did nothing, his conscience would be uneasy.

Yuan Weichang sighed after hearing this and said, "Since you have your own ideas, I won't dissuade you, but I hope you remember to think twice before you act."

"Son, please remember your father's teachings." Yuan Wenshao said respectfully.

……

After seeing off Yuan Weichang and Mrs. Yuan, Yuan Wenshao returned to the backyard to chat with Hua Lan, teased his son for a while, then went out and headed to the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, he explained his intention to the gatekeeper, and the soldier went in to report.

Yuan Wenshao waited for a while, and Gu Tingye came out.

Yuan Wenshao saw Gu Tingye's bloodshot eyes and asked in surprise: "You didn't sleep all night?"

Gu Tingye smiled bitterly and said: "There are many fish that have slipped through the net in the palace, and His Highness doesn't trust others. How can I sleep?"

Although Zhao Zongquan temporarily took control of the palace, the troops and horses were all transferred from the western suburbs camp, so it was normal for him to feel insecure.

"This shows that His Highness trusts you. Once this incident is over, you will be able to look back on your family in glory." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Gu Tingye shook his head and said, "Stop talking about this, what are you doing in the palace now?"

Yuan Wenshao told Gu Tingye his purpose of coming.

Gu Tingye muttered: "The official is unconscious now, and His Highness has been waiting around. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you. I think it might be better for you to talk to the Crown Prince about this matter, and ask the Crown Prince to help intercede."

The crown prince in Gu Tingye's mouth was Zhao Ceying. Although Zhao Zongquan was granted the title of crown prince, no ceremony was held to establish him, nor was he announced to the world.

However, it was not appropriate for them to call Zhao Ceying Dalang anymore, so they could only call him Crown Prince first.

Yuan Wenshao heard this and said, "Thank you Zhonghuai for reminding me."

Now that Zhao Zongquan has no time to see him, asking Zhao Ceying to help intercede is the best choice.

"Let's go, I'll take you in." Gu Tingye said.

Yuan Wenshao followed Gu Tingye into the palace and whispered: "Zhong Huai, how is the official's health?"

Gu Tingye whispered: "I fell into coma yesterday and haven't woken up yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a few days." Yuan Wenshao fell silent after hearing this. Although some of the practices of today's officials are criticized, it is undeniable that he is indeed He is considered a wise king.

Gu Tingye led Yuan Wenshao to the outside of Funing Hall, asked him to wait outside, and entered the main hall.

After a while, he and Zhao Ceying walked out.

"I've met the crown prince!" Yuan Wenshao saluted quickly.

Zhao Ceying waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhongyong, you don't have to be so polite. I heard Zhong Huai say, do you have something to do with me?"

"I do have something I would like to ask the Crown Prince for help with," Yuan Wenshao said.

"Say, I will definitely help as long as I can." Zhao Ceying said.

Yuan Wenshao told Liu Lei's story.

After Zhao Ceying heard this, why? "It's not that I don't help with this, but that I can't do anything about it. Treason is an unforgivable crime. There are many lords involved this time. Which family doesn't have a few good connections?" If everyone comes to plead for mercy, where will the national law exist?"

"I also know what the prince said. I don't mean to plead for Liu Lei, but Liu Lei's son is still young. I beg you to spare his life." Yuan Wenshao said.

Zhao Ceying was silent for a while and said: "I can't handle this matter. I will help you talk about it in front of my father later. But I'm afraid it will be inconvenient in the short term, so don't worry, my father doesn't have time to care about this now. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I also want to ask for a favor and go visit Liu Lei." Yuan Wenshao said.

"This is a small matter, I'm sure." Zhao Ceying said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment should come over soon, and I will tell him that you can go directly to the Ministry of Punishment early tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yuan Wenshao bowed.

"I told you that you're welcome. I can't leave now. When I have time, let's have a drink." Zhao Ceying said with a smile.

……

Qi family
The maid was giving medicine to Princess Pingning when she suddenly noticed that Princess Pingning's eyelids trembled a few times and slowly opened them.

The maid was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and shouted in surprise: "The princess is awake."

Princess Pingning looked at some familiar decorations in the house and was stunned. After regaining consciousness, she got up in a panic and shouted: "It's snowing, it's so cold~"

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

The maid was frightened by Princess Pingning's appearance, and she dared to move closer, but was caught by Princess Pingning.

"Miss!"

At this moment, Qi Guogong and Qi Heng got the news and walked in.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Qi Heng asked anxiously.

Princess Pingning looked at Qi Heng who was approaching, grabbed his hand and bit it hard.

"Ah~" Qi Heng let out a cry of pain, but did not dare to struggle for fear of hurting Princess Pingning.

"Quick, help!"

Duke Guo of Qi quickly called the maids to go up and pull Princess Pingning away.

Princess Pingning was pulled away, grabbed a maid and bit her.

"Ah~"

The maid's face turned pale in pain, and by the time Princess Pingning was pulled away, the bite was already bleeding.

"Go and ask the doctor to come over quickly." Qi Guogong said urgently.

Princess Pingning broke away from the person who was holding her and locked her in the corner of the bed. She kept saying it was snowing, with a silly smile on her face from time to time.

"Heng'er, are you okay?" Duke Qi asked with concern.

"Dad, I'm fine, mother, could she..." Qi Heng looked at his mother worriedly.

Duke Qi glanced at the place on Qi Heng's wrist where Princess Pingning had bitten him, and found that the skin was not broken. He then looked thoughtfully at the bleeding maid.

"You all go down." Qi Guogong waved his hand and said.

"Yes." The maids responded and retreated.

Duke Guo of Qi came to the bed and sat down.

"Dad, be careful." Qi Heng reminded him quickly.

Duke Guo of Qi waved his hand, looked at Princess Pingning and said, "Madam, you are not crazy, are you?"

Princess Pingning didn't speak, she just kept giggling.

"Madam, you don't have to pretend, King Yan is dead." Qi Guogong said: "There was a blood edict among the officials, and the Yuzhou regiment training envoy was ordered to quell the rebellion. King Yong held the officials hostage and was killed."

The smile on Princess Pingning's face froze, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. She covered her face with the quilt and cried bitterly.

Concubine Rong and Rong Xian not only hated King Yong's family, but also Princess Pingning.

They felt that if Princess Pingning had agreed earlier to let Qi Heng marry Rong Feiyan, nothing would happen later and Rong Feiyan would not have died.

Moreover, the reason why Princess Yong ordered someone to abduct Rong Feiyan was also because of Qi Heng.

After launching the palace coup that day, Concubine Rong ordered Princess Yong and Princess Jiacheng to be killed in front of Princess Pingning, and even had their heads cut off, saying that they were going to be used to commemorate Rong Feiyan.

Concubine Rong had no intention of letting Princess Pingning go. Princess Pingning was the only one who escaped the disaster by pretending to be crazy.

In fact, Concubine Rong also knew that Princess Pingning was pretending to be crazy, so she deliberately threw Princess Pingning outside the palace and ordered others to follow her.

Isn't Princess Pingning arrogant and trying to pretend to be crazy? She just wants to make Princess Pingning lose face and then kill her.

In order to survive, Princess Pingning knew that someone was following her, so she didn't care about her face, so she could only pretend to be crazy in front of people on the street, making all kinds of ugly appearances.

When she saw Princess Yong and Lord Jiacheng being killed, she was so frightened that she fainted due to the cold weather.

After Duke Guo of Qi learned the news, he quickly took people to find Princess Pingning.

It happened that at that time King Yan sent people to drive the people to seal the city, and the streets became a mess. The few forbidden soldiers who followed were dispersed by the people, and Princess Pingning was rescued.

After Princess Pingning woke up, she found that she was back home, but she was worried that Concubine Rong would not let her go and could only continue to pretend to be crazy.

Now that she learned that King Yong's rebellion had failed and was dead, she thought of what she had experienced in the past two days and her ugly behavior just now. She felt ashamed to face Qi Guogong and his son, so she could only cover her face with the quilt and cried bitterly.

"Madam, please stop crying. What happened that forced you to pretend to be crazy?" Qi Guogong asked.

He and Qi Heng did not enter the palace. They only knew that King Yong had rebelled and did not know what happened in the palace.

At first, he thought that Princess Pingning was really crazy, but when he saw that Qi Heng's skin was not broken after being bitten, he realized that Princess Pingning was pretending to be crazy.

Princess Pingning cried for a while, and her mood stabilized a lot. She sobbed and said, "Concubine Rong...she made people...let Princess Yong and Princess Jiacheng be killed in front of me."

"what?"

When the Duke of Qi heard this, his face was full of anger, but Qi Heng staggered.

King Yong and his wife forced him to marry the head of Jiacheng County, and he was very disgusted with King Yong and his family.

But after all, he and the head of Jiacheng County were married couples who lived together.

Hearing that the Lord of Jiacheng County was dead, he was somewhat unable to accept it.
