The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 60 The crime of treason

The ministers in the court look at me and I look at you, and think this thing is very strange, Hu Lefeng is crazy, how could he do such a thing?It was framed by someone, but who has such a great ability, you must know that the guards in this palace are all Hu Lefeng's people, so what kind of means must be used to kill him on his territory.Master Zhou looked at Yu Shangshu. Yu Shangshu was lowering his head and wondering what he was thinking. Was this the work of the Yu family?

Qianzong was furious, "This Hu Lefeng led a group of assassins to break into Gongwei privately. Could it be that he wanted to assassinate me? The Hu family conspired against me, and someone came here to throw all the Hu family into the sky prison. The presiding judge of the Dali Temple must put them in prison." This traitor has been wiped out."

Liu Xiang sensed the seriousness of the situation. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Xian did not discuss with him what happened today, but seeing Concubine Xian's uneasy expression, he knew that this matter had something to do with them.Now that the Liu family is having troubles one after another, the most important thing is not to have any more problems, do nothing, and stay the same for all changes, and wait for the limelight to pass, but these two women obviously didn't think so much, they still wanted to do something Just do what you want, and this time someone finally found the opportunity and took a bite back.Hou Jinghui's family will not rebel, but now they have been framed for some reason, and they have been accused of treason by Emperor Qianzong. Whether he is in charge of the Liu family or not, if he manages this matter, people will say that he is the head of the Liu family It's true, after all, Concubine Liu Jiaxian was born with a prince; no matter what, the Hu family will not be safe. Now that Jingwuhou is unclear about his attitude, the Hu family is his greatest help.

Liu Xiang was in a dilemma, and those imperial guards were even more difficult. The emperor had to obey the orders, but they were Hu Lefeng's people. Some people could guess what was going on. Should they be arrested or not?
Fortunately, Hou Jinghui yelled at the right time: "Wait a minute, the old minister has a grievance to appeal."

Marquis Jinghui came to Qianzong and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the whole family of ministers is loyal and loyal. Marquis for generations have never had any second thoughts about the emperor. As the commander of the inner guards, the third son of the ministers always recites the grace of the emperor and protects the emperor. Never slack off. And as the commander of the Ouchi guards, how could he not know that today's palace banquet is impossible for the emperor to be in the harem, and he will accompany him all day long. I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter. I hope the emperor will investigate clearly."

Yun Yuhong asked Wang Lekai: "You said you saw these people in the mother's harem?"

Wang Lekai replied: "Yes."

Yun Yuhong hinted clearly that Hu Lefeng did not intend to kill the king, but the empress he wanted to kill. Today's palace banquet, only the empress stayed in the harem.As for why Hu Lefeng wanted to kill the queen, everyone couldn't help looking at Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang also had to speak.He took a step forward and saluted Emperor Qianzong: "I feel that this matter is indeed strange. The Hou Jinghui clan has been guarding the border for many years and is loyal. It can be said that they have worked hard. The emperor should not believe the nonsense of the villain and jump to conclusions lightly, so as not to make the border officers and soldiers cold." heart." Liu Xiang moved out the border soldiers, nothing more than to remind Qianzong that this Jinghuihou is not an ordinary official, but a border guard with heavy troops in his hands. If the Huang family is moved, please think about the ten Thousands of elite soldiers, and the border that is about to be chaotic, maybe there will be an invasion of the enemy's cavalry.The meaning of the threat is self-evident.

Qian Zong's face also turned cold. It's not that he doesn't know what Liu Xiang means, or that the Huang family can't move now, but as the king of a country, being threatened by his ministers still makes him very upset, and he doesn't want to be so easy Let Jinghuihou's family go.

Marquis Jing Hui was not a good person either, he immediately said: "The emperor asks the ministers to investigate this matter. The third son of my family died unjustly. Let me find out the person behind it. I will have him skinned and cramped, and he will pay in blood." After speaking, he looked at Wang Lekai fiercely.But Wang Lekai bowed his head and remained silent, as if he didn't hear it.

Qian Zong swallowed and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to try it yourself, so it's better to avoid it. However, since you and Liu Xiang both said that you have doubts, let's hand it over to Dali Temple for trial."

Yun Yuhong interjected: "It's probably not enough for the Dali Temple to have a trial. This matter is also related to the safety of the mother, and the daughter's subordinates are also involved. Can the emperor let me intervene?"

Liu Xiang and a few old officials called it wrong, but Qian Zong said: "I know you are worried. I am afraid that their officials will protect each other, and I am afraid that your people will suffer. But it is really inconvenient for you to come forward. How about it, you have a favor with the prefect Bai , Prefect Bai will definitely not lose you, so what do you think about prefect Bai and Master Hong working together to interrogate you?"

Yun Yuhong said: "That's fine, I'm also relieved, then there will be Lord Lao Bai."

Bai Ziyu hurriedly said: "I respect the order, and I thank the princess for taking it seriously."

The matter seemed to come to an end temporarily, but when everyone was about to leave, Concubine Xian couldn't help asking: "We heard that the eldest princess was missing, so we were all anxious to look for it together. Some people said that they saw the eldest princess coming here, but I don't know when the eldest princess went to the emperor's side?"

The blue veins on Liu Xiang's forehead jumped up, and it would be cheating to give birth to a daughter who is not smart enough.

Yun Yuhong smiled, and said leisurely: "Oh, has anyone seen coming here? I just returned to Moyun, and I don't have any familiar playmates yet. The four noble concubines are all too busy chatting with people, so they don't have time to talk to me. I had no choice but to find my father. By the way, Concubine Xian, you have heard from someone that I have disappeared, and you have been here before, so you have to explain it clearly."

Concubine Xian's face turned pale again, she hesitated for a long time under the eyes of everyone, and then said: "I can't remember, I've got a headache from thinking about it, I want to go back and rest first."

Yun Yuhong continued: "It's better to say this clearly, don't find me again later, saying that I did these things."

It is impossible for Yun Yuhong to do these things, and almost all the ministers can testify.Not long after they and Qian Zong arrived at the front hall, Yun Yuhong followed and complained to Qian Zong about the neglect of the concubines. Next to me, the father and daughter were loving and filial, and they were so close that it made everyone's teeth ache.Unless Yun Yuhong can fly, she really doesn't have time to do these things.Of course, few people know that Yun Yuhong can really "fly".

Concubine Xian also regretted it, now she wished there was a crack in the ground to get in.She hated and was afraid of Yun Yuhong, she wished she would die, but she was also afraid of being targeted by her.But Concubine Xian always has a short memory every time, and she can't help teasing Yun Yuhong, but she can't please her and makes her whole body feel fishy.

Liu Xiang had no choice but to come out and said: "Let Master Hong and Master Bai investigate this matter, other people's hearsay is also not accurate."

Only then did Yun Yuhong let Concubine Xian go, and said no more.

The palace banquet was held like this, and it was impossible to continue, and everyone went home with various moods and speculations.

The commander of the Ouchi guards is dead, and this position must be replaced by someone as soon as possible. This is a fat vacancy. Although the emperor's close ministers are not big officials, they have real power.After the ministers returned home, many people were concerned about whether their sons or close relatives were suitable, how to recommend them, and how to develop relationships. Many people urgently recruited people to come and discuss overnight.

In the Empress Dowager's Palace of Ci'an, the Empress Dowager was so shocked that she could not speak for half a year after hearing Nanny Liu's report.

"How could this be? It's not right. Hu Lefeng died on the spot?" The Queen Mother asked after a while.

Madam Liu replied: "Yes, I heard that Hu Lefeng was wearing a black mask and was killed by Wang Lekai in public."

The queen mother wondered: "We just want to catch Yun Yuhong, and then make a scene of her adultery with Wang Lekai, so that she will be humiliated and demoted from the royal family. Didn't we just arrange for the people below to do it? Why is Hu Lefeng still Did you do it yourself?"

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, then sat up straight again: "It seems that there was an accident because things didn't go smoothly, and he was the one to blame. Concubine Huixian said, calm down recently, don't get burned."

Mother Liu respectfully replied: "Yes, I will arrange it now, old slave."

In Liu Xiangfu's study, a man in a cloak was ushered in by the housekeeper.When the housekeeper went out, someone took off his cloak, and it turned out to be Hou Jinghui.

Liu Xiang asked Jinghuihou to sit down, and Jinghuihou said directly: "Master Xiang, what do you think of this matter?"

Liu Xiang thought for a while and said: "This matter is not easy to handle. At that time, too many people saw Mr. Hu wearing black clothes and covering his face, confronting the guards in the Queen's Palace, and how many people died in black clothes?" It’s hard to say if it’s not a palace guard. If it’s just Mr. Hong who interrogates, there is still room for manipulation, but adding Bai Ziyu now will change things again.”

"Bai Ziyu's matter is indeed difficult to handle. He is from the other end of the Zhou family. It is difficult to guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to step on our feet."

Liu Xiang shook his head, "Didn't you also see the matter of the Bai family? This Bai Ziyu is not of one mind with the Bai family now, and judging by his current appearance, he should be on the side of the eldest princess."

"Princess? What kind of monster can a woman in the palace be like?" Jing Huihou obviously didn't believe it.

Liu Xiang said sternly: "Don't underestimate her, she is deeply favored, and it's not easy. I asked about this matter this time. Mr. Hu San just wanted to plot against the eldest princess, so he got it right."

"What did you say, today's matter is aimed at the eldest princess." Hou Jinghui asked anxiously.

Liu Xiang sighed, "The Empress Dowager wanted to teach the Eldest Princess a lesson. She originally wanted someone to arrest her and act as if she had committed adultery with the head of the bodyguard, Wang Lekai, and then let the Xian Concubine lead someone to catch the adulterer, and then let the Eldest Princess be demoted from the palace. But who knows Such a mistake happened. The eldest princess did not stay in the harem, but ran to find the emperor, and the third son Hu failed to catch Wang Lekai, but was discovered and chased by the guards, and he was also labeled as a treason."

Hou Jinghui was speechless when he heard what he really wanted. This matter was about the lives of several hundred members of his family, but it turned out that it was only because the queen mother wanted to teach the eldest princess a lesson.He couldn't help complaining to Hu Lefeng, why did he interfere with this kind of struggle between women in the inner house, at most he sent a few people for them to use, why should he come forward himself, now the whole family is affected by him.

But on the face, Jing Huihou asked Liu Xiang directly: "This is the end of the matter, Liu Xiang will give me a regulation!"

Liu Xiang had a headache, but he could only say, "I will find a way."
