The reborn sycophant

As soon as the man was caught, he was sent to the Punishment Department. It was inevitable that there would be many nights and dreams. Wei Chuyan was interrogated overnight, but Prince Wu kept silent. His followers were all tough. Wei Chuyan wanted to directly Asked their identities from their mouths, but how many severe punishments were used, these people didn't even open their mouths.

Previously, Wei Chuyan had only seen such a person among the royal guards.

Prince Wu was captured, and King Wu got the news immediately. After many inquiries, he learned that his son had entered the Punishment Division. After several rounds of torture, he still did not reveal his identity.Only then did King Wu breathe a sigh of relief. His son was arrested for fighting last night. As long as his identity is not discovered, he should be safe. In such a case, he can find a way to ask someone to bail him out.

However, those people who suddenly appeared last night were very suspicious. King Wu was very worried that they were sent by the palace. If this was the case, the little emperor probably knew everything, and it would be very difficult for him to recruit people.

The current plan is to take one step at a time. On that day, all the people who could be used by the King of Wu were sent out. Some were placed around the Punishment Department, and some brought rare treasures to visit those ministers who had old friends with him. , hoping to find a way to fish out Prince Wu.

Wei Chuyan knew why this man was clenching his mouth, and he also understood that accusations of gathering people to fight would not get rid of him. Even Prince Wu and his party insisted that they were businessmen from other places, and they had planned to go home last night. Unexpectedly, they suddenly ran into bandits and complained first. Wei Chuyan checked their identity papers, and they were all true.

The king of Wu really did not neglect to do things, Wei Chuyan sat in the hall, watched Prince Wu and his party cry out for grievances, and winked at the other group of people.

Zhao Ji's hidden guards showed their Ouchi tokens and said bluntly that His Majesty was assassinated yesterday, they just chased them out from the palace, followed the traces, and finally caught up with this pedestrian.

Wei Chuyan asked people to check the tokens, which showed that these people were indeed genuine imperial guards, but Prince Wu was still complaining: "My lord, I am wronged, we are clearly businessmen with certificates, and after arriving in Chang'an these few days , everyone is law-abiding, and they will leave as soon as they sell the goods, how can they have the time and courage to assassinate His Majesty?"

Prince Wu yelled very powerfully, he had never entered the palace, these people wanted to say white into black with just one mouth, but it was impossible.This is the Department of Punishment, where selfishness is the most taboo, and he is being tried in full view, even if these people are the guards of the Ouchi, is he still afraid of these people?

Seeing his appearance, Wei Chuyan secretly shook his head.

This reckless man, since she dared to let the guards reveal her identity, there is naturally something waiting for him behind.She looked at the untied guards in the hall and asked: "This man's grievance is not unreasonable. Do you have any evidence to prove that they are the thieves who broke into the palace yesterday?"

The leader of the guards immediately said: "Of course there are. Sir Wei, I'm ashamed to say that I was given the duty to guard the palace and protect His Majesty, but I didn't do my job well and let the thieves sneak into the palace. However We are not vegetarians, there was actually only one person who sneaked into the palace yesterday, and this person should be a masterpiece."

Because the assassination of His Majesty was suddenly involved, Wei Chuyan was not the only person in charge of the trial, Dali Temple also sent people over, plus Wei Chuyan's subordinates, many people were listening, at this moment Hearing the word "peerless", the audience was in an uproar.

Peerless?Is it a masterpiece?No wonder he was able to sneak into the palace!

When Prince Wu heard this, he had a secret secret, these people are really dark!Today's Daqi has not seen a unique product for many years. From the perspective of everyone, the unique product has already deserved the name and disappeared from the world.If these guards insisted that yesterday was a masterpiece that stole into the palace, and let them test the pheromone, he really couldn't escape it!

But Crown Prince Wu didn't know that he didn't even need a pheromone test to make him inescapable.

The guard went on to say: "This masterpiece has already approached His Majesty. Fortunately, God bless the Son of Heaven. Although His Majesty was injured, his life was not in danger. Yesterday, His Majesty canceled the early court because of the assassination, and because the Assassination of the Son of Heaven is a major national event. The assassin has not been eliminated, and the news is still hidden." The guard's words explained why His Majesty rarely went to court yesterday.Originally, she had a big banquet for the princes and kings, and she should just postpone the morning court on the second day, but yesterday, His Majesty did not go to court.

Because of these words, the officials in the hall believed a little more. If this was not the solemn and solemn hall of the Department of Punishment, I am afraid that these adults who are capable of participating in this shocking case could not help but whisper to each other.

"I waited in the palace to surround and kill this man, but to my shame, the guards lost dozens of people, but only one man crushed the thief's wrist bone desperately before he died, and I chased him out of the palace again. The deeds of a group of people are the most suspicious. My lord, we don’t want to wrong someone because we have red lips and white teeth. If there are any thieves hiding among these people, your lord only needs to take a look. Whose wrist bones are newly broken, you can know who is who. What's wrong."

Wei Chuyan's eyes fell back on Prince Wu and his party, and said sternly and selflessly: "Come here, go and check to see if any of these people have the characteristics mentioned above."

In fact, where else do we need to check?As soon as the guard finished speaking, Prince Wu knew that he had successfully poured all the dirty water on his head. Although he was a reckless man, he also knew that once he was charged with such a crime, it would be a capital crime. If someone finds out that he is the Prince of Wu, he will implicate his father and the people of Wu!He roared unwillingly, thinking that he was a masterpiece, a crazy idea suddenly appeared in his heart.

The shackles on his hands can't lock him, he just needs to escape!If he escapes now and doesn't care about his followers, with his unrivaled aptitude, these people will not be able to catch up with him.He just looked around, there are not many young women among these so-called royal guards, and he also fought against these people last night, knowing that the gem that day was not among these people, he must be guarding the little emperor in the palace Woolen cloth!

Without that gem, he could have escaped!

Prince Wu could not have guessed that the person who he thought would not be present was not only present, but also sitting behind the black wooden table in the hall, and it was the person in charge of his trial.Originally, he thought that the person should be someone close to the little emperor, but he never thought that the little emperor could put a masterpiece in the position of an important minister.

Besides, this Punishment Division Tai Xing is a down-to-earth civil servant!

At this moment, he forgot that this person was still in command of the Northern Army.That's right, just looking at this person's frail appearance in a red robe, who would have thought that such a frail looking person could be a masterpiece?

Prince Wu only took a moment to make a decision, and took another moment to break the chains of his hands and feet. There were several loud noises in the hall, the sound of chains breaking. His sudden outburst shocked many people. Can anyone break free from such a thick iron chain?

The adults thought of the "excellent product" that the guards had just said, and looked at the escaped man without any doubts in their hearts.

"catch him!"

"The prisoner has escaped!"

"Come on!"

In an instant, many voices came out. Prince Wu jumped out of the hall first, and disappeared after climbing over several walls. The guards who had already loosened their ties in the hall also chased them out one by one. After that, he was in a hurry The Punishment Department soldiers who were called out.However, before them, a red figure swept over the high wall earlier than everyone else, and chased in the direction where Prince Wu was escaping.

All the ministers looked at the suddenly vacant seat of the imperial eunuch, thought of the lightning-like figure just now, and realized Wei Chuyan's high martial arts skills.

But at this time, no one dared to say that Master Wei could catch the thief back, after all, it was a masterpiece.Peerless!I haven't heard it for many years. I heard that a masterpiece can be worth thousands of troops. In front of such a domineering talent, what's the use of no matter how high the martial arts and light kung fu are?

All the ministers lamented, such a dangerous person escaped, and was still under their noses, how could they explain to His Majesty?

Sighing, they also mobilized their own manpower without hesitation, and searched for traces of the thief in the whole city.

However, when everyone was busy, Wei Chuyan reappeared in the yamen of the Punishment Department, holding the comatose Prince Wu in his hand, which really gave the Punishment Department and the people of Dali Temple a big surprise.

Those people came up to meet them, and saw that Master Wei's official robe was very messy, blood was faintly oozing from his abdomen, his hairpins had fallen off, and he looked extremely weak. It seemed that he had gone through a fierce battle. Standing at the gate of the yamen, he obviously still looked weak and weak, but in the eyes of everyone, he suddenly appeared a little more fierce.

That is a masterpiece!Master Wei is really skilled in martial arts!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wei Chuyan swayed a few times, pretending to be very weak: "Fortunately, he has a broken hand, and I am good at lightness kung fu, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to catch him."

Everyone understood, that's right, that thief is really a masterpiece, he hurt Lord Wei so badly after hurting one hand, look at the blood on Lord Wei's body, and look at the cruelty in her pale face Everyone couldn't help admiring Mr. Wei because of the expression on his face.They crowded up and took over the traitor from Master Wei. This time, they were not careless, and bound the man's hands and feet with a chain as thick as an adult's arm. Show a head, and then give up.

But they didn't know that this person seemed to be alive, but after he was unconscious, his skull was crushed by Wei Chuyan's palm. It really couldn't be seen from the outside. He was even still alive, but he definitely wouldn't survive tonight.

Wei Chuyan, as a top grade, knows the weakness of the top grade, even if her skull is smashed, she will not be able to survive.

The matter has come to light, the Punishment Department naturally can't eat the person who assassinated the emperor, Prince Wu was handed over to Dali Temple, and the courtiers finally knew the news of His Majesty's assassination, Sangong entered the palace urgently, His Majesty was at that time Ganlu Hall, they rushed over and were summoned by His Majesty in the side hall. Judging from His Majesty's expression, they were indeed seriously injured. What's more, His Majesty passed out again without saying a few words to them .

The palace was in chaos, but fortunately the Queen Mother appeared in the Ganlu Hall and became the backbone of the entire palace.

After that, His Majesty closed the court for a few days, and when he appeared in front of the ministers again, His Majesty was still sick.Because the matter of assassinating the emperor was too serious, Dali Temple originally wanted to try it again, but that night, the assassin broke free from the heavy restraints for some reason, put his palm on the Tianling Gai, and ended his life with one palm.

When the news came out, King Wu really thought that his son committed suicide in order not to drag them down, so he was in so much pain that he fainted several times in the building. After all, it was the child he had placed high hopes on.

However, outside the building, no one saw the abnormality of King Wu. Everyone's eyes were on the first assassination case in decades. King Wu's residence was sealed tightly by him. It's huge, but it hasn't spread a bit.

It just fell into the eyes of Zhao Ji's spies.

Dali Temple lost sight of an important prisoner again, Zhao Ji was furious, and issued an order to punish all the personnel involved in the case of Dali Temple. raised.In this case, Wei Chuyan was credited with catching the assassin. Everyone saw that in order to chase the assassin, Master Wei was seriously injured, bleeding profusely, and passed out after sending him to the Department of Punishment. Rehabilitation in the mansion!

After Zhao Ji "knew" about this, he was full of praise and concern in the court, and gave Wei Chuyan countless medicinal materials, sent a doctor to see her, and even promoted her to a noble rank, leaving her from Qianhu. Jinhou was promoted to a lieutenant with two thousand households, but he still had no fiefdom.

After she finished rewarding, she returned to the palace and saw that the person who was rumored to be "resting in the mansion" was lying on her dragon bed with her eyes closed, sleeping deeply.Her hair was loose, and she was lying on the pillow under her body like splashed ink, but her face was pale, her two slender hands were folded neatly, and the palms of her hands were placed next to her lower abdomen to protect her, and she frowned in pain in her sleep.

Presumably she had just taken the medicine, so she was only wearing a thin cloud-patterned gown, with layers of wrapped white cloth faintly showing through the translucent material.Zhao Ji looked at it, covered her mouth, tears rolled in her eyes, but they didn't fall, but she held back, she climbed onto the bed, clasped Wei Chuyan's ten fingers, and guarded her for a long time.

Several rewards from His Majesty made the Wei Chu Banquet momentarily splendid.And the smarter ones also sensed the predicament that the princes and kings were facing from His Majesty's refusal to grant the fief no matter what.

However, His Majesty's rewards did not stop here, and in another month, after the feudal lords and dynasties had finished their service and all left the capital, His Majesty then said: "Since I was injured by an assassin last time, my health has not been as good as before. The imperial physicians often advise I need peace of mind to recuperate, the way is at least half a year, at least a year to get better. However, I am a king, and the state affairs are complicated, but I always worry about it, and I am always exhausted." Now that your majesty has said this, all the ministers will play their own petitions. Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body.

At this time, someone suggested opening the Nei Dynasty, saying that the Nei Dynasty can streamline affairs and benefit His Majesty's warm and nourishing dragon body.After Zhao Ji heard this, he seemed quite moved.

At this time, there were inevitably some obstructive voices in the court, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Majesty was dividing power, the power of the three princes.

However, the timing was too good. Zhao Ji now has a lot of cronies in the court. Every time the two sides argue, they are divided by half or five, and this matter involves His Majesty's dragon body. It was finally passed. At this time Zhao Ji is four months pregnant.

Zhao Ji brought up Wei Chuyan's previous achievements in capturing the top prize, counted her previous achievements in detail, and talked about the guilt of not giving her a fiefdom, and gave Wei Chuyan the post of Minister of Internal Affairs to Wei Chuyan.

At this point, although Wei Chuyan did not hold the post of prime minister, the power in his hands spanned the three divisions of civil, military and criminal affairs, and became bigger for a while.The court did not complain about this, they all said that His Majesty favored and trusted his close ministers too much, Wei Chuyan had too much power in his hands, and ministers attended her every day.

Later, the sayings of "lucky ministers" and "sycophants" also spread, saying that they were treacherous and sycophants who seized too much power. Although Zhao Ji was still in court at this time, he was too lazy to argue with them.

Now that she has a child, she doesn't want to be angry or overworked, so she shows a kind of easy-going that is completely different from the original strength, which makes the ministers more convinced of Wei Chuyan's conjecture.

Her memorials floated over like snowflakes, and not long after, the Punishment Department of Wei Chuyan handled several major cases in a row. Coincidentally, the person involved in the case was the most vicious one she had participated in before.

The court was quiet for a while, only those who felt that they had made mistakes and had no excuses were still working hard. Zhao Ji wrote down these people and counted them as honest and loyal ministers, and planned to reuse them in the future.

Five months later, Zhao Ji was about to show her pregnancy, so she stopped going to court. The reason was that old injuries had recurred, and she pretended to be seriously ill, and asked the queen mother to come to the court and supervise the government temporarily.

At the same time, Wei Chuyan's internal court has been operating well. The two of them cooperate and manage the court well. Although Zhao Ji does not go to the court, there are always some edicts from her. The court has gone through a lot. After the initial chaos, it gradually returned to the right track.

However, this is only on the surface. Ever since Zhao Ji stopped going to the court, Wei Chuyan's hat of "Ning Chen" has been strictly buckled and cannot be taken off.Not only among the ministers, it seems that there are some rumors among the people, but Wei Chuyan is now in full swing, and she is very strict about everything. In order to prevent the news of Zhao Ji's pregnancy from leaking out, it must be like this for five months .

However, although His Majesty has acted like a foolish king who does not go to court, His Majesty is always present in the important affairs of the court, and she is like this because of her injury. In addition, the Queen Mother is listening to the government behind the curtain, Daqi is still in a state of chaos. The peaceful one is Wei Chuyan, she alone bears the most infamy.

In the end, this kind of infamy became the reason for the princes and kings to raise troops.

In this life, King Wu and King Zhongshan were the first to raise troops. These two branches, located in Zhao Ji, both had hatred for the loss of their sons.

Immediately afterwards, King Jiaodong, King Zichuan, King Zhao, and King Chu of the Bohai Sea also joined forces, responding to the declaration of "the side of the Qing Dynasty" by King Zhongshan and King Wu.

In this rebellion of princes and kings, these six countries raised their troops before and after. The other princes are either split in the country, or have a small land and few people, or are really loyal to the Qi family. In short, they are not full of wars.

Zhao Ji had been waiting for this day for a long time. She quickly dispatched half of the frontier troops from the frontier, accompanied by a group of outstanding generals such as Tang Tang, and left only the southern army to defend the capital and expand the northern army that Wei Chuyan had The soldiers were recruited, and they were thrown on the battlefield together, and soldiers were transferred from all over the country. Those who had more soldiers and enough food fought several battles with the rebels, but they won more than they lost.

With the flames of war, there were much fewer voices slandering Wei Chuyan, and not many people were biting about the fact that His Majesty still did not go to court.Because although His Majesty does not go to court, the edicts about the war are issued from the Ganlu Palace, but the frequency is always once a day or two, which corresponds to the rumored guess that His Majesty is not in good health.

His Majesty was once assassinated, and his health has been bad. Now that there are princes and kings making troubles, many people are worried that His Majesty is young... But according to the information they obtained from the imperial physician, His Majesty is still recovering. The wobbly wall grass felt relieved, waiting for His Majesty to suppress the princes and kings together.

The war lasted for half a year, and under the long consumption, the food and grass of the Qi army became less and less day by day. However, the rations of the rebel army of the princes and kings ran out before the Qi army.

They are rebelling against the six countries, and each country has an army, but the reserves of each country are different. Among them, the richest country is Zhongshan. The king of Zhongshan has been rebellious for a long time, so he is fully prepared. Powerful, not only sufficient food and grass, but even 15 elite soldiers.

However, the other four countries only managed to gather 20 rebels together, and the food and grass were not enough. This kind of poverty reached its peak after the big businessman Han Haohan suddenly cut off the funding to the three Bohai countries.And they were allies with King Zhongshan and King Wu. As soon as the food and grass were finished, they asked King Zhongshan and King Wu for help. In the end, the armies of the other two countries could not eat.

Because it is not only natural consumption, but also a lot of food and grass, which had to be abandoned when the two armies were fighting, or were cut off or burned by the other side.

Wei Chuyan heard about what happened in Bohai Sea, and knew that Han Haohann had not broken his promise, so he sent someone to hand over to Han Haohan the previously promised imperial business documents and the right to sail around the Bohai Sea area as the price for this transaction.

Her action cut off the reserve of the rebel army. Zhao Ji naturally sent someone to publicize it. With such a great contribution, he originally said that Wei Chuyan was a "sycophant" and even pushed her out to stop the rebels. All the soldiers on the "Qingjun side" stopped talking.

But Zhao Ji's move was not only to create momentum for Wei Chuyan, but also to inspire the army. Sure enough, after hearing that the rebels were about to have no food to eat, the Qi army immediately cheered up and conquered three cities in one day. Occupied the capital of Zhongshan State.

At this point, the coalition forces of princes and kings began to face large-scale defeat.

At this time, Zhao Ji was about to give birth.

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to write: At this time, Zhao Ji gave birth to a daughter, and the princes and kings also disappeared.

And then: the end of the play.

Well, thinking that writing like this is really too sloppy, and, I'm sorry, and, afraid of being beaten to death, I suppressed my desire and planned to write another chapter tomorrow.

In other words, I don’t know if it’s tomorrow, because according to the reason, I finished the double update yesterday, and I can do the single update today, but I thought, maybe I’ll finish it after writing more, so I’ll just write and write until I reach [-] word, and found that...

Well, follow your wishes, come up and down.I love you guys.

I still have a side story, really, sincerely.
