Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"They are all my own women, so things are a bit difficult to handle."

On the way to Prince Duan's Mansion, Fan Xin rubbed his chin and started thinking.

The coup is a matter of great concern to the country and the country, and cannot be taken carelessly. If a mistake is made, it is impossible to say how many people will be killed.

"Liuzi, what do you think?"

After asking, Fan Xin was startled, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He had forgotten that Liuzi was impersonating Kong Mengling in Youzhou.

He led the internal guards all the way to Prince Duan's Mansion. Just as the guard was about to run in, he was pushed to the ground by an intelligence department agent and his mouth was covered.

"My lord, do you want to kill all the guards of Prince Duan's palace?"

Deputy Director Xiao Long asked fiercely.

"There are only a few guards in Prince Duan's Mansion, and if you keep them, you won't be able to make trouble."

Thinking of this, she glanced at her missing son and walked into the palace alone.

Fan Ying took a breath while sweating profusely. As soon as he picked up the tea cup, a report sounded outside the door.

After a while, Fan Xin came in from outside with his hands behind his back and went straight to the inner room.

After a while, she changed into a tulle tube top dress, and the white peaks were looming as she walked.

With a worried heart, Shangguan Wan'er forced a smile.

If she hadn't expected the son in front of her to become emperor, she would have directed the coup herself.

He slipped behind the screen with a swipe, stretched his head and peeked out of the door, his little eyes full of fear.

"I just want to prove that I am no worse than Brother Huang."

"I have known your father too well over the years. He will not kill you."

He was so frightened that his hands trembled and his teacup fell to the ground.

Fan Xin sighed softly and hugged him into his arms.

Seeing her son looking useless, Shangguan Wan'er was really angry.

"Ying'er went to review his lessons."

"Go quickly and invite King Yan to come in."

"The ancients said that it is the fault of a father to raise children. Your father was not around when you and the second child were born, which made you go astray."

Xiao Long clasped his fists unwillingly and ordered someone to send the invitation in.

"If father knew that we were behind this, would he depose me as King Duan?"

Prince Duan's Mansion, Internal Affairs Hall.

Fan Ying was not stupid. He knew from the moment his father came to the door that Zhang Ge's coup had failed.

"Well, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the young emperor has the same father. It doesn't matter even if you fail."

Since the husband sent the invitation, it means that he is not here to arrest them, and everything can still be discussed.

Seeing this, Fan Xin coughed and looked away: Okay, we are an old married couple, so we don't have to do this. Why does this room smell like fish? "

Fan Ying stopped and looked at her, wiped his cold sweat and said with a trembling voice.

"Mother, I'm feeling nervous. What should I do if Mr. Zhang Ge and the others don't succeed?"

"Where's the third child??

Shangguan Wan'er rolled her eyes helplessly, put down her fan and let the guards in.

Seeing him coming, Fan Ying wiped his sweat and stood up from the ground.

Fan Xin walked into the main hall and frowned slightly when he saw that the Crown Princess was the only one in the hall.

"To report to the concubine, His Highness Prince Yan is here to ask for an audience."

"Yes, I am the prince, and my father will definitely not do anything to me."

"Father, this is the fish stewed by my son, do you want to try it?" He was talking about fish, but the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing down.

"what's up?"

"Wang'er, you've been walking around for several hours, why don't you take a break?
Concubine Shangguan Wan'er covered her forehead and said.

After spending many years together, she knew Fan Xin's abilities very well. Wouldn't it be a coup when he came back...

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

Fan Xin......

Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile and poured a cup of tea for Fan Xin herself.

Shangguan Wan'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard Fan Xin's arrival.

Shangguan Wan'er's face froze, and she said bitterly: "To be honest with you, husband, Ying'er has become obsessed with fishing recently. Every time he finishes fishing, he stews it and eats it."

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but when I was pouring water, one of the breastbands was cut off, revealing the seductive spring beauty inside.

He said and presented the invitation.

"No one will do anything to you now that your father is still alive, but if one day I am gone, who can protect you?"

"The reason why my father allowed your royal brother to ascend the throne is because he has a generous character and can leave a way for you and the second child to survive when he takes charge of the power in the future."

"Listen to your father. In a few days, you and the second child will go to Tai'an Palace to apologize to your eldest brother in person, and then become a virtuous king who is considerate of all the people in the world."

"Perhaps this big case will be over. There are some things that are more likely to cause estrangement between brothers if they don't move around."

Nodding towards Shangguan Wan'er, Fan Xin left Prince Duan's Mansion under the grateful gazes of the two of them.

He was no longer young and could not kill people without blinking like before, so he chose to resolve the dispute between the two sides.

"Your Highness King Yan, Prince Duan and his son were suspected of a major treason case, and it just went away like this?"

Seeing Fan Xin come out empty-handed, Xiao Longxu, who wanted to show off his talents, narrowed his eyes.

Fan Xin paused, turned his face to look at her, and said with a half-smile.
"Why, Deputy Director Xiao still wants to drive out her mother and son?"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.

Looking at his back, Xiao Long's face was extremely gloomy.

"What should we do, deputy director? Should we arrest Prince Duan and the concubine?"

One of the confidants asked in a low voice.

Snapped!
A slap on the face of his confidant, Xiao Long laughed angrily.

"Please call me Deputy Director and go directly to the Department of Internal Health to clean the urine bucket."

"Let's go see the Queen Mother!"

……

In the palace of the Prince of Han, a young man with a strong figure was lying on the bed in the pink gauze.

His big hands roamed around the woman's body, making her pant and sweat.

"So, it's my father who ruined my good deeds?"

"That's right, Your Highness the King of Han, the old prince sent a fake governor to cheat you with food and drink in Youzhou."

"I secretly sneaked back to Chang'an and helped the emperor control the situation."

The woman was the emperor's concubine, and the two often hung out together since they hooked up with Han Wang Fan Jing.

"Damn it, father, you old fool!" Fan Jing gritted his teeth, and his big hand suddenly increased its strength, causing the woman to moan in pain.

In fact, Li Tang's old minister planned this coup, and the reason why he successfully entered the palace was because of his secret efforts.

According to the original plan, Zhang said that these people would force the eldest brother to abdicate.

He will lead his men to fight out, kill all the old ministers of Li Tang in the name of King Qin, and replace them with himself.

Now they are all destroyed by the father.

"Your Highness, what should we do? The old prince has everything in Chang'an. I'm afraid we are no match for him."

The white and tender woman turned over and lay on Fan Jing's body, saying worriedly.

Fan Jing glanced at the delicate body and sneered.

"Hmph! I can't do anything to my father, so why can't I do anything to that fake governor of Youzhou?"

"Look, I, the king, will make sure that my eldest brother returns his capital and profits tomorrow morning!"

The next day, Tai'an Hall.

Since the Queen Mother fell seriously ill, the morning court has never been held again.

Therefore, the courtiers came here early in the morning.

Everyone's face was solemn.

"Have you heard that Mr. Zhang Ge, Mr. Tan Shangshu, and several ministers have all been imprisoned?"

"Yes, there was a fierce battle last night. The corpses of the city's defenders alone were used to pull hundreds of carts."

"It's too awful."

Amidst the discussion, a chamberlain walked up to the hall with Fu Chen on his arm and shouted in a high voice.

"Your Majesty is here!"

All the ministers were refreshed and bowed down to salute.

"I will see you, Your Majesty!"

"Let's all get back together." The little emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers with a gloomy face. "The fate of the country has been unstable recently, and rebellious ministers are causing trouble. I believe you all know this."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishments, please tell me how these rebellious officials and traitors should be punished according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, there are three levels of crime. The direct participants are clear and typical, and the indirect participants are assassinated for three thousand miles and will be slaves for life."

"Those who are implicated may be dealt with accordingly."

"Okay!" The little emperor patted the dragon chair and looked at the ministers.

"Come here and draw up a decree. Anyone involved in the coup will be handed over to the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai for trial."

"After the verification is correct, he will be immediately sent to prison to await further questioning!"

As soon as these words came out, the Tai'an Palace became eerily quiet.

The ministers seemed to have returned to the days of bloodshed and loud cries.

The emperor did not say that those involved in major coup cases would be prosecuted.

The meaning of such words and sentences is already obvious.

Individual ministers counted and found that thirty ministers were leading the coup.

Counting their subordinates and family members, as many as 4,000 people were to be tried.

Its scale is only slightly smaller than that of the Shenlong coup.

The ministers wanted to give advice, but due to the emperor's power, they could only stop talking.

"Your Majesty, the remnants of Li Tang have rebelled again and again, and I am willing to serve as the chief judge!"

Fan Jing stood up and said.

"My lord, Xiao Long is also willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."

Looking at the excited expressions of the two men, the little emperor nodded without hesitation.

"allow!"

Before they could thank each other, the little emperor unexpectedly said another sentence.

"The King of Yan counts as one."

Xiao Long's smile instantly froze on his face, and he reluctantly agreed.

After retreating from the court, Xiao Long made a gesture of invitation to Fan Jing.

"Your Highness the King of Han, shall we go to Dali Temple together?"

Their eyes met, and the two of them showed a proud smile...

The coup was an unusual one, and the imperial decree quickly spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.

For a moment, people were in panic, fearing that one day the butcher's knife would fall on them.

So some insightful people who couldn't bear the turmoil of the Tang Dynasty put down their work and gathered in Chang'an.

No matter what, they must implore His Majesty to take back his holy mandate to kill.

...

Prince Yan's Mansion, back garden.

"Feng Ma, it's all thanks to you these days when I'm not around."

"But why did you pull out the grass in the garden and plant courgettes?"

咴咻咻…

The black wind horse swung its tail and shook its head, seeming to agree with Fan Xin's words.

"My lord, don't you think it would be a waste to plant grass in such a large garden?"

"If we plant courgettes, we won't have to buy vegetables in the summer."

"There are also some fish and shrimps raised in the lotus pond in front, and some chickens and piglets in the rockery cave."

"In this way, we won't have to buy any meat or vegetables to eat and drink for a year."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't even know how expensive food is now."

The little maid poked the black wind horse with chicken feathers and turned around and said in a childish voice.

Looking at the two women, one large and one small, Fan Xin felt his head grow bigger.

The dignified Prince Yan's Mansion turned into a farmyard.

If this was spread to the court, people would laugh out loud.

The most important thing is, when did the palace become ours?
From the tone of their voices, it seemed like they didn't intend to leave.

"Looking at the expression on the prince's face, could it be that he thinks we are nosy?"

"Forget it, let's go back to the palace to serve the Queen Mother. The prince can live by himself."

Fan Xin patted his forehead helplessly, woman, it would be really fatal if she acted in a drama.

"Okay, no need to pretend. For the sake of your loyalty, let's stay here for now."

"I remember going to the street to buy two kilograms of radishes for Black Wind Horse. He loves this bite the most..."

"Hey, where's my money?"

Fan Xin opened the vase where the money was hidden and found that the money he had saved was gone.

This almost didn't scare him out of a heart attack.

His face turned pale and he said: It's over, it's over, all the money I saved for three months is now gone!
Having said this, Fan Xin kicked over the vase and shouted towards the door.

"Go, call Dali Temple immediately!"

"How can Chang'an be managed properly?"

Feng's mother was also anxious. A few hundred taels was not a small sum.

This money was enough for them to live for ten years, and they secretly thought that the officials in Chang'an were really useless, and they couldn't even control thieves.

"Your Majesty, you can only go by yourself. There is no one in our palace except the two of us."

Fan Xin......

Half an hour later, Dali Temple.

"Hey, isn't this the prince? What kind of wind brings you here?"

As a frequent visitor to Dali Temple, everyone knew Fan Xin.

If it were normal Fan Xin, he might still be able to laugh and talk a few words.

But not today. He has lost all his capital, so he has no intention of talking nonsense.

"Go up, I'm here to see Fatty Xie."

As he said this, he was about to go in, but he was stopped by a clerk who spoke mysteriously.

"Your Majesty, I would like to advise you not to enter the Dali Temple Prison."

"It's almost turning into a pool of blood inside. Oh, that's so miserable."

Fan Xin looked stunned and frowned.

"What's going on? Didn't Your Majesty ask the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai Joint Trial?"

"Why is it so intense?"

The clerk looked around and whispered in Fan Xin's ear.

"This is what the Queen Mother means. The so-called interrogation is just a process."

"No, the Intelligence Department is taking the opportunity to force them to bite."

"So that's it..." Fan Xin took a deep look at the clerk and strode in.

"This big thing is not as important as my loss of money. How does Dali Temple handle the case?"

Looking at his back, the clerk smiled slightly, took off his mask and hid in the corner...

...

Dali Temple Prison.

After three hours of interrogation, Xiao Long stood up and stretched his waist.

He said to a woman whose hands were tied to an iron frame.

"Tell me, when Zhang talked about treason, who did he write to?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Back to the official, this little woman has been wronged. I really don't know who he wrote to."

The woman said with a smile.

"Don't tell me, huh!" Xiao Long waved his hand, picked up the whip and hit the woman!
The woman in pain kept wailing and quickly lowered her head.

"Come here, wake her up. I want to take over."

Before he finished speaking, a faint voice came from outside the door.

"Deputy Director Xiao is not satisfied with the trial. I want to see how strong you are today."

Everyone was stunned and looked towards the door, only to see Fan Xin walking in with his hands behind his back.

The expressions of the heads of several yamen changed for a while, and they all bent down to salute.
"I'm here to see His Highness King Yan!"
