Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 85
Hundreds of torches illuminated the entire Tang Mansion like daylight. Tang Zhongde was only wearing his middle coat, and before he even had time to put on his coat, he was dragged off the bed by the wolf-like sergeants and thrown into the yard.

All the Tang family members were under control. Two soldiers escorted Tang Qinghe over. Tang Qinghe scolded as he walked, "I am the future imperial husband, how dare you treat me like this?"

"Imperial Husband? You are dead to get to that position!"

The leading general was wearing armor and said with a sneer. Tang Qinghe looked at the armor on his body and said angrily, "You are just a sixth-rank captain, and my father is a first-rank official minister. How dare you break into Tang's house? Who would dare?" Your guts?"

"Given it by the Prime Minister! Under the orders of the Prime Minister, Tang Zhongde corrupted the law and neglected human life. He committed a heinous crime. Immediately put him in prison! All members of the Tang family will be put in prison, waiting for a trial!"

"Impossible, my father didn't take bribes and break the law, nor did he disregard human life! How dare you frame Zhongliang, believe it or not, His Majesty cut off your dog's head!"

Tang Qinghe roared angrily.

The leader, Colonel Liu, is a member of the Ministry of War, Li Yi, and even Pei Xiu. His purpose today is to put Tang Zhongde in jail before the palace reacts.

"Whether you are innocent or not, you will know soon. Take them all away!"

"Which of you dare? I am the future emperor's husband, and my father is the future head of the country. If any of you dare to touch the Tang family today, be careful of the head on your neck, and the lives of the whole family!"

Tang Qinghe sternly reprimanded, Liu Xiaowei smiled arrogantly, "Young Master Tang, we all know that you serve the emperor with sex and get His Majesty's favor by some shady means, but you are not the emperor's husband yet, and His Majesty is still yours!" There is no real decree, speaking of it, you have no name, no role, nothing, no one will be afraid of you."

Captain Liu waved his arm, "Don't listen to his rambling, take him away!"

"Father! Father!"

Tang Qinghe yelled at Tang Zhongde, who had been silent by the side all the time. Tang Zhongde looked gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. From the first time news came out from the palace, Her Majesty the Empress picked Qinghe's portrait, to the Empress praising Qinghe in front of the courtiers, to the Empress desperately protecting Qinghe in the Plum Garden, to the Empress secretly bringing Qinghe into the palace to meet, to Tomorrow morning's Co-Chairman's meeting.

Among them, there seems to be an invisible hand secretly promoting the development of all things. Some things can obviously be hidden from the wind, so why do the wind come out?There are some things that can be done in private, why does the Queen always do it in public?

Looking at the wolves and tigers of the sergeants and the messy Tang family, Tang Zhongde suddenly understood.

He rushed towards Xiaowei Liu suddenly, "Take me to see the Prime Minister, we have all been tricked!"

"Stop him!"

Two sergeants stopped Tang Zhongde firmly, and Tang Zhongde shouted with all his strength, "Lieutenant Liu, quickly take me to see the Prime Minister, both the officer and the Prime Minister have been hit—"

His voice stopped abruptly, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and he fell straight backwards.

"Father!"

Tang Qinghe broke through the obstruction of the sergeants, rushed over to support Tang Zhongde, his fingers trembling to probe Tang Zhongde's breath, a moment later, Tang Qinghe burst into a wailing, "Father!!!"

"It's you! It's you who killed my father! I'll fight you hard!"

Tang Qinghe's eyes were red, and he glared at Xiaowei Liu angrily, and rushed towards him like crazy, but was stopped by two sergeants.

Xiaowei Liu went to check Tang Zhongde's breath with a gloomy face, and sure enough he was out of breath. Tang Zhongde was dying, the blood at the corner of his mouth was bright and glaring, and his wide-open eyes stared at Xiaowei Liu, which made Xiaowei Liu frown.

"Master Captain, what should we do? The Prime Minister only asked us to arrest the Tang family and put them in prison, but Tang Zhongde died just like that. This is not a good deal!"

The deputy said in a low voice.

Xiaowei Liu's rough thick eyebrows were almost knotted, and his tone was extremely calm, "It's up to you to say that, of course I know that this matter is messed up, and it's not easy to deal with!"

"Liu, you forced my father to death, and I will fight you hard!"

Tang Qinghe struggled desperately, but was stopped by two sergeants. Just when he couldn't move, a servant suddenly shouted, "I want to avenge my master!" The sergeant who stopped Tang Qinghe rushed over desperately, and just opened a hole, Tang Qinghe rushed out and rushed towards Liu Xiaowei.

Xiaowei Liu subconsciously drew his sword, "Tang Qinghe, Tang Shangshu's death has nothing to do with me, don't talk nonsense and blame me for this!"

Originally, he just drew out his knife to scare Tang Qinghe not to act rashly. In fact, Tang Qinghe, a frail scholar, was indeed frightened, and he became a little hesitant when he rushed over.

Seeing this, Captain Liu gave an order, "Take him down!"

Several sergeants like wolves and tigers rushed towards Tang Qinghe. At the critical moment, a sergeant who rushed from Xiaowei Liu to control Tang Qinghe suddenly bent his body and bumped into Xiaowei Liu.

Colonel Liu was bumped and staggered a few steps forward. Unexpectedly, Tang Qinghe just wanted to escape from the encirclement of the soldiers and ran this way. The sharp knife in Captain Liu's hand stabbed into Tang Qinghe just by chance. In Qinghe's belly.

Xiaowei Liu's complexion changed drastically, and he pulled out the knife subconsciously. Tang Qinghe held his bloody stomach and pointed at Xiaowei Liu, "You, you—"

In the end, he didn't say anything, and fell straight back, staring at the dark night sky with wide-open eyes.

The audience was silent.

A moment later, a woman's scream pierced the silence, "Killed! The eldest son was killed!"

She was Tang Zhongde's favorite concubine, and her voice brought all the Tang family back to their senses.

"The master and the eldest son are both dead, let's avenge the master and the eldest son!"

I don't know which servant shouted, and all the servants and nurses rushed towards Captain Liu like crazy.

"Stop! This general tells you to stop, otherwise you will all be sent to jail!"

Captain Liu's threat had an effect, and the crowd stopped hesitantly. Seeing that the scene was under control, Captain Liu wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and called a soldier, "Quickly report the matter here to the Prime Minister!"

When the news reached Pei Xiu's ears, Pei Xiu's face changed greatly, "Tang Zhongde and Tang Qinghe are both dead?"

"Master Xiang, anyway, Tang Zhongde and his son will die sooner or later, and they won't live for a few days..."

"They are going to die, but they must not die at this juncture! They cannot be forced to die by the truth! Your Majesty is just waiting to find an excuse to get angry. The death of Tang Zhongde and his son is giving her a chance..."

Pei Xiu's voice stopped abruptly, his face changed again and again, his eyes were piercingly cold, "So that's how it is! That's how it is!"

He slapped the table hard, and roared, "Feng Jin, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless!"

"What's the matter, Mr. Xiang?"

"The death of Tang Zhongde's father and son is absolutely inseparable from His Majesty. From the very beginning, she never thought of using the Tang family. The so-called doting on Tang Qinghe, the so-called wanting to win over Tang Zhongde, and wanting to take down the bureaucracy are just a play. Play it for the truth, show it for the Tang family, and show it for the world! Both the truth and Tang Zhongde fell for it, and they were played by her in applause!"

Pei Xiu's face was so gloomy that he dripped water, and every word seemed to be forced out from between his teeth.

Pei Zhong was puzzled, "Then what exactly does Your Majesty want to do in such a big show?"

"It leads to the ambitions of Tang Zhongde and the Tang family, and also leads to the suspicion of the truth. It makes the truth and Tang Zhongde turn against each other. She deliberately creates an illusion for the truth. She wants to take advantage of the fact that the truth is seriously ill. She is putting pressure on the truth. This situation has been set up since the portrait of Tang Qinghe at the beginning. She made everyone think that she has been interested in Tang Qinghe for a long time. Interested? Ridiculous! Tang Qinghe is no more It's just a pawn!"

Pei Xiu clenched her hand tightly, and then slowly released it after a while, her face was ashen as hell, "She cast a net early in the morning, and the net never contained Tang Zhongde and the officials, but the truth. Doting on Tang Qinghe, wooing the Tang family, forcing Zhenxiang to kneel at the gate of the city, taking the opportunity to seize Li Yi's position as assistant minister, and taking advantage of his illness to trap Zhenxiang in the prime minister's mansion. Tighten this net to create a sense of urgency for Truth, and make Truth mistakenly think that she will seize the opportunity to take down the officials while Benxiang is seriously ill."

Pei Zhong's complexion also changed, "So, Xiangye abandoned Tang Zhongde, chose Chen Shilang, and planned to arrest Tang Zhongde at night before the palace reacted, and crucified Tang Zhongde, all of this was calculated by His Majesty among?"
