Chapter 117: 117：

Facing Yuan Minggang's sharp eyes, Cheng En Gong pretended to be calm, and questioned: "Commander Yuan, you are so bold that you dare to let people do something to this father!"

"This is evidence of my newfound acquisition, why do you take it!" Cheng Engong held his neck and looked at each other with Yuan Minggang's eyes.

"If the evidence is not evidence, Lord Guo should go to the emperor to talk about it." Yuan Minggang shook the account book in his hand with a smile, "I also acted by will."

His last sentence seemed meaningful.

Cheng En Gong: "..."

Gong En Gong's eyes changed from bright to dark, and he shook his heart, knowing that things were not good.

Yuan Minggang made another gesture and ordered, "Take the second prince away!"

Therefore, the two Jin Yiwei sneered and approached Gu Jing, "His Royal Highness, don't let us hurt Your Highness, please go there again!"

Gu Jing didn't back up when she held on, her mind was in confusion.

Cheng Engong's face was pale. At this point, he also wanted to understand, and silently said three words to Gu Jing with his mouth: "It's in the count!"

Gu Jing: "!!!"

"Okay, I'll follow you to see Emperor Father." Gu Jing flicked his sleeves and walked out of the seat first. His heart was far from being as calm as he showed.

Outside the lounge, there was a noisy area. The tea shoppers hurriedly checked out and left, or looked curiously at the same place. Even outside the restaurant, many passersby gathered to watch.

Gu Jing and Cheng Engong were put in a carriage.

The carriage drove towards the palace under the **** of a group of jinyi guards. Everyone shunned it for fear. It took two sticks of incense to get there on weekdays. It only took one stick of incense to get there.

Gu Jing and Cheng En Gong have been escorted to the Imperial Study Room by Yuan Minggang and a few Jinyi Guards. In the Imperial Study Room, not only the emperor is present, but several cabinet ministers, Gu Zezhi and several important ministers are there, obviously waiting for them. Up.

Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Jing and Cheng En Gong, with different expressions, most of them with condescending compassion.

Gu Zezhi stood leisurely, just glanced at the two of them indifferently, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his warm and moist expression.

"The emperor, Cheng En Gong and His Royal Highness the second prince have been brought here." The first to speak out was Yuan Minggang.

At the same time, Gu Jing and Cheng Engong described saluting the emperor embarrassedly.

After the imperial case, the emperor didn't let the two of them be exempted. His sharp eyes shot straight at Gong En Gong, his eyes as deep as a boundless sea.

"..." Gong En Gong had long felt bad. At this moment, the eyes of everyone, including the emperor, were equivalent to verifying his guess, and his heart fell a little bit.

He preemptively said: "The emperor, the minister has found new evidence about Master Wei's connection with King Yu. It is about to be presented to the emperor, but it was just taken away by Commander Yuan." He didn't give up and tried to fight to the death. Back.

The corners of Gu Zezhi's lips curled slightly, and he raised his eyes to look out the window.

A small spider web was formed among the branches and leaves outside the window, and a flying insect was stuck on it by the spider silk, still struggling tremblingly.

Yuan Minggang presented the account book to the emperor. The emperor turned a few pages at will, and then asked faintly: "Where did this account book come from?"

Before Cheng En Gong answered, the emperor said directly: "Did Tang Fengchun bring it from Huahong Teahouse?"

The emperor still said this to Cheng En Gong, he did not even look at Gu Jing.

"..."

Everyone knew that Tang Fengchun was the second prince and concubine, and the courtiers in the imperial library all looked at Gu Jing subconsciously.

The same goes for Cheng En Gong.

Gu Jing still maintained the posture of arrogance, his face visibly paled again with naked eyes, his eyes widened and his figure stiff.

The change in Gu Jing's expression was tantamount to answering Cheng Engong's doubts. He immediately had the answer in his heart. The emperor should be right. Tang Fengchun indeed brought this account book from Huahong Teahouse.

In other words, all their planning has long been under the emperor's watch;

In other words, the emperor knew well about their cooperation with the Royal Palace of Yu.

At this moment, the last trace of luck in Gong En Gong's heart was also extinguished, his limbs were cold, and his body was so cold that he was soaking in the icy winter lake.

They really got it!

In the past few days, the emperor allowed them to make noise in the court, and has always chosen to remain silent, not just to protect the Queen and Wei's house, but to dig out this line, but to force the Yu Palace to act... …

So, they lost at the beginning, but they just became a jumper, and now they lose all the games.

Others present can also see it and hear it. Most of these people are veterans who have experienced the two dynasties. The ups and downs in the court are also seen a lot. No one sympathizes with Cheng Beng Gong at all. It's just a sigh.

The emperor glanced at Gu Ze calmly, but Gu Zezhi didn't seem to notice anything, still looking at the spider web outside the window.

The struggle of the flying insects caused the web to tremble, and a nail-sized spider crawled out of the shadows, followed the flimsy spider web and swiftly crawled towards the trapped beast-like flying insect, getting closer to its prey... …

That attitude, that step, is bound to win!

The emperor leaned back, leaned his back on the back of his chair, and made a gesture to Yuan Minggang, "Yuan Minggang, you continue to say."

Yuan Minggang continued to report: "Jin Yiwei has checked the Huahong Tea House, and just copied a secret letter sent by the King of Yu from Yuzhou, confirming that this restaurant is a stronghold of the King of Yu in the middle of Beijing, and is dedicated to conveying news for Yuzhou. "

"This time, more than 50 people have been obtained through the trail and they are currently being interrogated in prison."

They had already guessed about the fact that King Yu had deployed an intelligence point in the capital. However, the King Yu's intelligence point was not only secretive, but also always changing places, very cautious.

Jin Yiwei has not found it after checking it for a long time over the years, or in other words, he has not started at all.

This time, thanks to the second prince, they had a clue and got a little clue.

Next, following the existing clues, I must be able to dig out more strongholds of King Yu!

Just thinking about it, Yuan Minggang felt eager to try and his eyes shined brightly. In recent years, Jin Yiwei has dealt with trivial matters, and they have been idle for a long time, and they have long wanted to make a big ticket!

Obviously Gu Jing was also the person involved in the case, but the emperor still ignored him and pointed the finger at Cheng En Gong:

"Cheng En Gong, what do you say?"

"Why did you bring the account book that you used to impeach Wei Xiushi from the stronghold of King Yu?"

Almost at the same time, the spider outside the window had crawled to the side of its prey, and waved its claws high against it...

The emperor stabs Cheng Engong with his gaze like a sword, and sternly said: "What is your relationship with King Yu!"

The emperor has always been gentle on weekdays. Now that he straightened his face, his whole body naturally released an imperial thunder-like majesty, like the waves of a stormy night pressing down on Cheng Engong.

The emperor had never spoken to Gong En Gong in such a tone. Gong En Gong's heart shrank sharply, his face paler, and his feet became soft, and he knelt on the hard golden brick floor with a "plop".

He couldn't help but raise his head to look at Gu Jing, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, hoping that Gu Jing could help him speak a few words before the emperor.

However, Gu Jing looked away in silence, half-dangling his eyes, still maintaining the posture of swaying.

The silver frost charcoal was burning in the Mingming Imperial Study, warm as spring, but at this moment, Cheng En Gong's heart suddenly became cold.

Gu Jing obviously couldn't count on it.

Of course Cheng En Gong would not just admit his fate. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and continued to defend himself without giving up: "The emperor, this account book was accidentally obtained by the minister. Someone passed it to the minister anonymously. It was a misconduct by the minister. The minister thought that Mr. Wei was guilty, and did not want to be caught in the scheming of the king of Yu."

He sighed reproachfully, looking as though he was really confused.

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Gong En Gong with a smile, as if listening to a play.

Yuan Minggang pulled the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, feeling that Gong En Gong was really indifferent to seeing Huang He, without a trace of heroism.

Also, if he has some vision and vision, he won't be able to look at the mud that can't support the wall, the second prince.

Gong En Gong could only bite the bullet and said, "I blame the minister for selfishness! Because the emperor wants to establish a prince, the minister wants to use this to pull the empress off the horse."

"The minister is guilty."

Gong Engong squatted his head heavily at the ground and raised his head again. The muddy eyes on the old face were covered with bloodshot like spider webs. He bit to death and said: "The emperor, but the minister absolutely did not collude. king."

When the matter has developed to this point, in order to reduce the crime to the lowest level, Cheng En Gong can only admit that he has selfish intentions to pull down the Wei Queen. In any case, this is a lot lighter than the crime of colluding with King Yu.

There is still a queen mother in the Liu family, maybe he can keep the title.

After the initial panic, Cheng En Gong had already settled down, and once again kowtowed his head and said: "The minister was almost taken advantage of by the king of Yu because of himself. Fortunately, the emperor did not cause a catastrophe because he was aware of his mistakes. But the minister's sin is also unforgivable. Please the emperor to condemn."

The cabinet elders next to them are all human beings, and Yomo can guess what's going on. They admire the fact that Gong En's can speak so hard.

Gu Jing also knelt next to Cheng En Gong, and kowtow, admitting his mistake: "Father, it is all the fault of the son, and the son did not correct his grandfather's mistake in time."

"I have an appointment with my grandfather today. I originally wanted him to find out and then impeach him, so as not to wrong the good guy."

Gu Jing looked at the emperor after the imperial case sincerely, as if he hated iron and steel.

Cheng En Gong: "..."

Gong En Gong closed his eyes, and his eyes were even worse.

Gong Engong didn’t want to pull Gu Jing out. After all, Gu Jing couldn’t alleviate his guilt. It was just one more person. However, Gu Jing was so anxious to separate his relationship with him. His heart is getting colder.

He suddenly remembered Qin Zhun, and Gu Jing said the same to Qin Zhun when he was throwing it.

To be honest, he knew that some officials had also privately talked about the second prince being too cold, but he didn't take it very seriously. He felt that Qin Zhun was stupid and out of reach. He felt that the second prince would never abandon him. Grandfather.

It wasn't until the moment things really happened to him that he felt that his grandson was really cold. Once his interests were endangered, he would show no mercy to those around him, and there would be no sense of mastery at all.

Cheng Engong felt his heart shrink suddenly, and at this moment, regretted it.

The emperor's eyes were deep and he said to Yuan Minggang: "Yuan Minggang, you continue to say."

Yuan Minggang continued: "Yesterday, Jin Yiwei secretly followed Tang Fengchun to the Huahong Teahouse. It was Shenchu. After a stick of incense, Tang Fengchun came out of the teahouse. After that, a group of people continued to follow Tang Fengchun, and another group of people followed Tang Fengchun. Surrounded the Huahong Tea House, checked and took people, and there was no fish that slipped through the net."

"The guards in Jinyi who followed Tang Fengchun back to the Second Prince's Mansion have also been guarding outside the Second Prince's Mansion. Since Tang Fengchun returned to the mansion yesterday, he has not left the mansion again. "

"After a cup of tea, Grandpa Cheng'en also arrived at Yunbin Restaurant, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince gave Grandpa Cheng's account book."

Yuan Minggang didn't look at Gu Jing and Cheng En Gong, his voice was steady and strong.

Following his words and sentences, the foreheads of Gu Jing and Cheng Engong exuded fine cold sweat, and their faces were as dead white as a wall, as if a knife was placed above their heads.

It's over, it's over, the emperor knows everything clearly! !

Gu Zezhi brushed off his robe casually, and saw that the flying insect caught by the spider on the spider web outside the window was struggling to become weaker and weaker...

The emperor looked at Gong En Gong blankly and asked again: "What else do you want to say?"

Cheng En Gong: "..."

Gong En Gong's blue-purple lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say, his throat burning as if it was being burned.

Yes.

Things have developed to this point, what else does he want to understand? The emperor has made Jin Yiwei stare at them early in the morning, since he first impeached the guard to repair the stone...no, or rather, far before that!

If he is calm and does not move for a while, the emperor will do nothing about him, but if they move, then the emperor will do nothing at all.

To put it bluntly, the emperor did not come for him and Gu Jing. For the emperor, they were just bait for the big fish, the king of Yu.

Cheng En Gong's neck and even his back were already wet with sweat.

He was a minister and the emperor’s uncle. During the last few years of the emperor’s reign, his uncles and nephews also supported each other. For a long time, he thought he knew the emperor quite well, and the emperor was always a soft-hearted monarch, no matter if he was To the son, or to the veterans.

He always felt that even if the second prince really annoyed the emperor, the emperor always had a father-son relationship with the second prince. At most, he was under house arrest for a few months in the palace like last year, and at most he was colder...

but now……

Gong Engong was unsure, his eyes flickered.

The emperor did not hesitate to use the second prince as a bait to fish for King Yu. The emperor just watched the second prince get deeper and deeper, getting more and more wrong...I am afraid that there is not much paternity.

When did it start? !

Did it start when the second prince married Tang Fengchun, or when the second prince took over Qin Xin, or before that, began with the peace talks between the second prince and Bei Yan...

The scenes that happened in the past year flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern. Gong En Gong's throat became even more dry, and his body was weak and weak. He could no longer speak for excuses.

In the imperial study room, there was silence.

With a pale face, Gu Jing looked at Cheng En Gong from the corner of his eyes, and almost exhausted all his energy to avoid losing his stance.

There is still a ray of hope in his heart, hoping that Gong Engong can help him to separate the relationship from this matter.

Gong Engong closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, the confusion in his eyes had settled down.

He kowtows to the emperor for the third time, his voice is hoarse and old, and said: "The minister is guilty."

Cheng En Gong is already in his sixties. He used to be full of energy and not showing old age, but at this moment, he seems to be ten years old suddenly, and his spirit suddenly vented. .

Gong Engong took a deep breath, and then said: "This account book was given to the minister by the second prince, as was the correspondence between Wei Xiushi and the king of Yu before. The minister does not know where the letter and account book were obtained by his Royal Highness. The minister was selfish, confused for a while, and went wrong."

Gong Engong knew that this time he and Gu Jing were defeated, and there was no way to return to the sky.

When things have reached this point, they can only take the lesser of two evils.

He is just the emperor's uncle, and the second prince is the emperor's own son. Since ancient times, there have been few emperors who know how to stab their children, and they have always been good-tempered, and the second prince is the most forbidden high wall. , Since he can't turn around, the emperor will not kill him.

Up to now, the second prince backed up the charge of colluding with the king of Yu to protect the Liu family.

Taking a step back, even if he admits to colluding with King Yu, the second prince can't escape the destiny of being detained, but it's just that the Liu family can be fold in.

The reason is obvious.

Grandpa Cheng En quickly cast a wink at Gu Jing.

Just now, he also tried to help Gu Jing be charged, but now that the emperor knew that the account book was given to him by Gu Jing, he didn't want to be charged.

Gu Jing certainly understands Cheng En Gong's intentions, but even if he does, he still feels betrayed.

He knew that his grandfather had always been selfish, putting the Liu family first and himself second, and now he just verified his ideas again.

Although Gu Jing was chilly and disappointed, but reason told him that as long as the Liu family was still there, he still had a chance to stand up.

Gu Jing was silent. At this moment, if he didn't object to Cheng En Gong, it was tantamount to acquiescence.

The emperor regarded the two people's eyebrow lawsuit in his eyes, but he didn't break it, and said indifferently: "In this case, Chengen Gong Liu Renxun was dismissed from the title, moved for three thousand miles, and fined his wealth."

Cheng En Gong: "..."

The emperor looked at Gu Jing again, and then said: "The second prince confines the mansion. During his lifetime, he must not leave the mansion for half a step."

"Jin Yiwei checked the Palace of Cheng'en and the Second Prince's Palace."

The emperor issued three orders in a row, which can be described as vigorous and resolute.

"Yes, the emperor." Yuan Minggang clasped his fists to lead the command, saying three words eloquently. Thanks to the blessings of these two, their Jin Yiwei made a great contribution this time.

Yuan Minggang glanced calmly at Gu Zezhi in the corner where the clouds were so light as if they didn't exist.

No, it should be said that it was the blessing of the Chen Junwang.

Others may not know, but Yuan Minggang, as the commander of Jin Yiwei, is the emperor's confidant, and he knows what role Gu Zezhi played in this series of events.

Cheng En Gong, no, Liu Renxun and the second prince don't even know who they are planted.

This young Chenjun Wang has only been in the capital for just over a year, but he has already done one after another, and he has done many things that the courtiers could not do in his lifetime.

It can be seen that King Duan is confused about family affairs.

Yuan Minggang's mood ran away if he was not careful, and his face was still prestigious.

But Cheng En Gong was shocked. He never expected that the emperor would be so cruel this time, and would be punished so severely. Not only did he seize the nobility, but also to migrate. From then on, the Liu family was no longer a nobleman, but a criminal. Can't stand...

Liu Renxun’s eyes flickered, and he wanted the emperor to relax, but he also knew that the emperor was afraid of being angry. Now that there are cabinet elders present, the emperor has opened the golden mouth, I am afraid it will be difficult to change day and night.

Liu Renxun thought for a while, and finally pleaded for Gu Jing: "The emperor, the Qin family in the second prince's mansion is pregnant, the second prince is inherently unwell, but the future emperor's grandson is innocent, please send some An imperial physician and a maternal grandmother went to the Second Prince's Mansion to take care of him, so that the emperor and grandson would not make mistakes."

His intention was to remind the emperor that the second prince had the emperor's eldest grandson, and wanted the emperor to put it down gently.

Gu Jing's eyes lit up, and he looked up at the emperor hopingly.

The surroundings were quiet again.

The emperor fixedly looked at Gu Jing, his sharp gaze seemed about to penetrate. When he was about to speak, Zhou Xin came in and said with a subtle expression: "The emperor, the empress mother is here."

Several ministers looked at each other, but Liu Renxun and Gu Jing had brighter eyes, igniting a spark of hope.

The emperor's lips pressed into a straight line.

Since he came to the throne eleven years ago, the Empress Dowager Liu has rarely intervened in court affairs, except that she had doubts about whether to stand as the prince. She has never even visited the Imperial Study.

The emperor knew very well that it must have been Queen Mother Liu who heard about Liu Renxun and Gu Jing being taken into the palace by Jin Yiwei, so she hurried over.

The emperor nodded and signaled Zhou Xin to let Queen Mother Liu in.

After a while, Queen Mother Liu came in with Madam Feng, and everyone in the room bowed to her.

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes fell on the kneeling Liu Renxun and Gu Jing, and she suddenly disappeared from the others around.

As soon as she saw her brother's pleading eyes, she knew that his brother had committed a crime, and her heart fell sharply, very heartbroken.

Queen Mother Liu did come for Liu Renxun and Gu Jing.

Gu Jing’s servant came to the palace immediately after the master was taken away by Jin Yiwei. He couldn’t enter the palace, so he asked someone to pass a message to Concubine Liu Gui. Concubine Liu is a woman and her son. I had to go to Shouning Palace and beg Queen Mother Liu to come and intercede for his father and son.

"Mother, you must save your father and the second prince!"

"The emperor... he is not willing to deal with the Wei family because of the queen, so he wants to abandon our Liu family!"

"Mother, the Liu family is the emperor's uncle's family, and the empress dowager, you must save your father, save the Liu family!"

The cry of Concubine Liu Gui's cry was still in the ears of Queen Mother Liu.

Empress Dowager Liu didn't know the inside story, but she also knew that something was wrong with the Liu family. The emperor wanted to deal with Liu Renxun and was panicked, so she hurried over. It was only when she looked at Liu Renxun's guilty face that she gradually calmed down. .

"Mother Queen." The emperor also got up and saluted the Queen Mother Liu, so that he could bring a chair to the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Liu sat down with the support of Mother Feng, and then asked: "The emperor, what's the matter?" She held the stream beads in her hand tightly, knowing that the emperor would never be her if she wanted to speak. Want to hear.

Liu Renxun’s eyes when looking at the Queen Mother Liu are extremely complicated. On the one hand, the Queen Mother Liu is now the only hope of the Liu family. On the other hand, he has a little bit of resentment towards the Queen Mother Liu. Why didn’t Queen Mother Liu tell him Wang Yu Failed to take away the matter of Concubine Fang, but when the Queen Mother Liu told him in advance, he would not have come to this point...

The emperor calmly explained the story, and also explained his own treatment of Liu Renxun and Gu Jing.

Queen Mother Liu: "..."

Empress Dowager Liu's hand held the string of beads tighter and tighter, her heart felt as if she was repeatedly crushed by some heavy object with colic, her head seemed to be pierced by thousands of needles, and her breathing became rapid and difficult. There are anger, disappointment, and heartache.

Earlier, the emperor told her to hide the death of Concubine Fang. Empress Dowager Liu knew the measure and guessed that the emperor was going to attack Yuzhou. This matter was related to Daqi, so she didn't say anything about it.

In the entire harem, only the Empress and her three knew about it.

However, she didn't expect that her brother would choose to cooperate with King Yu.

Empress Dowager Liu could not guess what Liu Renxun was thinking. He must have felt that the King Yu had taken away Concubine Fang and the next step was the Northern Expedition. He was not optimistic about the emperor, so he planned to cooperate with King Yu to fight for Gu Jing. .

Liu Renxun was tantamount to betraying the court, and for his own selfish desires, he did not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of the emperor.

Madam Feng stroked Empress Dowager Liu's back to give her comfort. This is the Imperial Study Room. Without her being a slave and maid speaking, she could only do so.

After listening to the emperor's disposal, Empress Dowager Liu was silent.

Her son knew that the emperor was a nostalgic person, and had not changed for so many years.

The emperor remembers what the Liu family did for him when the emperor was alive, and also remembers that his grandfather, grandmother, and uncle died for him, so these years he has tolerated his uncle Liu Renxun and gave him many opportunities. However, After all, Liu Renxun disappointed the emperor and also himself.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at Liu Renxun disappointedly. He was already full of greed. He had forgotten what Wang Yu and her son had done with the first emperor more than ten years ago. He could abandon even his blood relatives and conscience for his own benefit.
