Fierce “Husband”

That night, Emperor Yongming stayed in the General's Mansion, regardless of the many ministers who were eager to meet him outside. At night, Emperor Yongming and Empress Jun were lying on the bed, with Jun's back leaning against Emperor Yongming. Emperor Yongming's hand used to be cold and cold when Empress Jun, and now his warm abdomen was slowly stroking.

"Emperor, minister, when can you have children?"

"You have to rest for a while. This time you have a small birth, so you have to take care of it. I asked Shao Yunan to make more grapefruit tea for you to drink. When you are healthy, we will have children, this time you I'll be pregnant soon."

"Then, what does the emperor plan to do?"

The Queen's question was vague, but Emperor Yongming understood clearly, he said: "I want to confer a title on them, at least it must be a marquis. I intend to confer the title of Duke, but I'm afraid it won't work at present, the ability of the two of them. , must not be known to outsiders. As a marquis, I can use their achievements in tea making and brewing as an excuse."

"The emperor considers it. However, since they are strange people, they can't be forced. The titles are given, but they can't be forced to come to the capital unless they want to. They are loyal to the emperor, and the emperor must not be too hasty, lest it backfire."

Emperor Yongming was very distressed: "I think they can stay in the capital. The Queen does not know that Wei Hongzheng, the eldest son of Marquis Hengyuan, went to Yongxiu County to kidnap Shao Yunan, forced him to hand over the recipe for tea and wine, and injured him. He. Only in the capital, under my eyes, can I feel at ease."

"When?!"

The queen immediately turned over.

Emperor Yongming hugged the man again and explained, "Dai Jiang pressed Wei Hongzheng back to Beijing today, only then did I know that he was so bold."

After telling the Queen about the process of Dai Jiang and Lao Weng reporting to him, Emperor Yongming said: "Wei Hongzheng has humiliated me, and I have humiliated my Queen. I just executed him in a hurry to give him the honor of the Marquis of Hengyuan. I regret it all. , he should be sentenced to be skinned and dismembered."

The Queen is also very angry. It's not that he doesn't know what some people say about him behind his back, but Wei Hongzheng dares to say that the emperor's position is empty, and he wants to take the emperor's golden mountain, so he can't wait to kill that person himself.

Empress: "Hengyuan Hou has no way to teach his son, so he should be punished. In this matter, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and all the ministers obey the emperor's orders. Is Shao Yunan's injury serious?"

Emperor Yongming smiled: "His injury is not serious. You take good care of yourself and take good care of your body." Then, he smiled, "As for the old husband Wei Chunlin, I will not forgive him this time. It's just Wei Hongru. And Wei Hongwen has shown loyalty to you, but I have to consider it. We still need Wei Hongwen to develop the business of our Dayan Kingdom. What the old general means is..."

One is the emperor and the other is the queen, talking about the important affairs of the country, the atmosphere between each other and the posture of their embrace at this time, but they are as intimate as ordinary loving husband and wife. In such an intimate atmosphere, the fate of Hengyuan Hou Wei Chunlin and the entire Hengyuan Hou Mansion has undergone subversive changes.

Early the next morning, Emperor Yongming returned to the palace under the protection of the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guards. He did not shy away from being in the General's Mansion the day before. As soon as he returned to the palace, Guo Xun, who had been sent back to the palace the day before, quickly came to report, and the court ministers who worked hard were waiting to see the emperor. Emperor Yongming ordered to go to court, and ordered Wei Chunlin, Marquis of Hengyuan, to go to the palace. Guo Xun went to pass the decree, and Emperor Yongming returned to the palace to change his clothes.

When the ministers who did not enter the palace hurried into the palace after receiving the will of the temporary court, everyone knew that something big would happen today. Because they usually don't go to court, and they are almost regarded as official officials, the old general and the old emperor Weng Lao also came.

With Guo Xun's voice: "The emperor is here—"

The courtiers who were waiting in the hall immediately knelt down and saluted: "The minister pays respect to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Old General Dai and Old Weng also knelt down. Emperor Yongming sat down, but did not follow the steps to say "flat body", but just said: "Old general and old teacher, please get up and give a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Old General Dai and Old Weng stood up rudely, and after the waiter moved the stool, they sat down rudely, not caring about the group of people kneeling behind them, including their respective relatives.

The emperor did not let his body down, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became unusual. However, there were still people who stood up and stepped out without fear of death, knelt down again, and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday the commander of the Imperial Guard, Xiao Baichuan, led the Imperial Guard to surround the Marquis of Hengyuan. The ministers and others do not know why."

"emperor."

Several ministers with close ties to Marquis Hengyuan all came out and knelt down to inquire, and there were also ministers such as Yanguan and Yucha Division, who asked about yesterday's events.

Emperor Yongming had no expression on his face, he let those ministers kneel, and said coldly: "You asked Xiao Baichuan why, why don't you directly ask me why? Without my will, why would Xiao Baichuan go to surround the mansion of Yipin Hou's mansion? And , don't you know that I just killed the eldest son of Marquis Hengyuan yesterday? Why don't you ask me why?!"

The first minister who came out to ask the question didn't say a word, but Mei Yuwen, the head of the imperial inspection department, asked: "Your Majesty, but what the **** did the eldest son of the Marquis of Hengyuan do that made Longyan furious? Marquis Hengyuan is still a first-rank marquis, If there is no good reason, the emperor's move is probably inappropriate."

Emperor Yongming said, "Bring Hengyuan Hou Wei Chunlin here!"

The ministers were startled and raised their heads one after another. Soon, Yu Youguang, the commander of the guards in front of the imperial family, led people to **** Wei Chunlin, Marquis of Hengyuan, to the main hall. As soon as he saw the emperor, Wei Chunlin immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, this minister has been wronged! The child Wei Hongzheng has an unrighteous mind, and he did something against the emperor. The minister really didn't know anything about it before, and I asked the emperor to investigate!"

When he said this, the ministers all groaned, is this really a crime? But what could make the emperor kill the son of Marquis Hengyuan and surround Marquis Hengyuan's mansion? Could it be that the emperor used an excuse to attack the Marquis of Hengyuan? The minds of the ministers of all kinds of Xiaojiujiu are running fast.

Mei Yuwen asked again, "Your Majesty, I don't know what the son of Marquis Hengyuan has done? All the ministers and others are in a panic."

Emperor Yongming gave an obvious cold snort, and the ministers did not know what to do, and their faces were full of fear. Emperor Yongming stood up, slowly walked down the imperial platform, walked down the stairs, and walked to the kneeling minister.

"Fear in your heart? Will you be frightened in your heart?!" Emperor Yongming's voice was louder, and the ministers hurriedly shouted, "The Emperor, calm down."

Emperor Yongming walked up to the kowtowing Marquis Hengyuan and said angrily: "Everyone in the world knows that Marquis Hengyuan has more money than our treasury, and this emperor is so poor that we need to see Marquis Hengyuan's face!"

"The minister does not dare!" Hengyuan Hou hurriedly kowtowed, "This must be someone slandering the minister!"

"Slander?! These words were spoken by your own son Wei Hongzheng. You said I slandered?!"

Marquis Hengyuan raised his head in amazement, and the hall also exploded. Marquis Hengyuan jumped up and shouted in front of Emperor Yongming: "Your Majesty! This is definitely not what the minister said!"

No matter how much Hou Hengyuan looked down on this emperor in his heart, he would never have the guts to confront Emperor Yongming directly. Emperor Yongming kicked Hengyuan Hou.

"Wei Hongzheng said that my position is just an empty shell, and that as long as your Hengyuan Houfu **** away my golden mountain, I can only obey you and wait."

"Your Majesty! This is what that Nizi said personally, I really don't know, really..."

"He cursed me to sit on the throne soon, cursed the queen to die early, and cursed the queen. If it wasn't for your father's rude remarks to me and the queen in private, how dare he say that?!"

"I have been wronged! I have been wronged! I swear, I have never said anything like this..."

"Wei Hongzheng has already confessed! You said these words to him in the mansion! He dared to say that! Do you want me to bring you witnesses!"

"This minister is wronged! This minister is wronged!"

"Come on!"

"The minister is here!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged! The minister has been wronged! The minister never said it! The minister never said it!"

"emperor."

"Who dares to intercede for him today and share the crime with him!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Wei Chunlin, Marquis of Hengyuan, despised the Holy Venerable, and cursed me and the Queen with malicious intent. His heart was shady, and he should be punished! Cut his title, put him in the Heavenly Prison, raided the House of the Marquis of Hengyuan, and imprisoned all the people in the house. Trial!"

"The minister obeys the order."

"Anyone who pleads for mercy will be regarded as an accomplice!"

"Your Majesty! The minister has been wronged! The minister never said it, it was all done by Wei Hongzheng, and the minister really didn't say it!"

"Take it off!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Hengyuan Hou Wei Chunlin was taken down. An old marquis family that has existed for more than 200 years was destroyed by the false words of the heirs. None of the ministers present who had friendship with Marquis Hengyuan, Marquis Hengyuan's mansion, and entangled interests dared to intercede. Emperor Yongming's resolute and iron-blooded heart at this moment made them shudder. The old generals were sitting there. No matter how careful they were, they would not dare to be charged with contempt for the Holy Venerable and Longwei. Regardless of whether Wei Chunlin said those words or not, as long as those words came from the Hengyuan Marquis Mansion, the Hengyuan Marquis Mansion would be over. Because Emperor Yongming had no money, and although the imperial power was not stable enough, he sat on the throne by his own killing. Behind him was the Dai family who controlled the absolute military power of the Dayan Kingdom, and the old man who controlled the literati speech. Emperor teacher.

The entire courtroom was silent, and Lao Weng stood up: "Your Majesty, Marquis Hengyuan is arrogant, and you should suffer the consequences. But Your Majesty, the dragon's body is the most important."

Minister: "The emperor's dragon is the heaviest—"

Emperor Yongming turned around, still with an angry look.

"You kneel here, and let the dragon's body be the most important, but why do you really have the emperor in your heart! Today is Wei Chunlin who said such a bad thing, why haven't you thought about it in your heart!"

"Emperor calm down! The ministers are terrified!"

"Fear?! You are just a son of Hengyuan Hou's concubine, so he dares to say such nonsense. Then you high-ranking officials in the court, how will you curse me in private! Curse the queen!"

"This minister is frightened! This minister has absolutely no such intention!"

"Your Majesty is clear, this minister will never dare to have such a dissent!"

"Don't dare?! You keep saying that you don't dare, you know what you think in your heart! Wei Hongzheng cursed the queen, the queen was poisoned yesterday and almost died. You better pray that this matter has nothing to do with you. Whoever participates in this matter, I will punish the nine clans! I will tell you today! No matter how poor I am, I am still the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom! I am also the supreme king of the world! I am also your king!"

Emperor Yongming showed great power in the court on this day, and this was the first time he was so angry since he ascended the throne. Originally, the people of Ning Guogong still wanted to ask about Concubine Jing, but when Emperor Yongming made such a show of power, they dared not ask, and they were all silent. Emperor Yongming said that the queen was poisoned, and Ning Guogong did not know whether Concubine Jing was involved in the matter. Concubine Jing was secluded, and the news couldn't get out at all. They could only pray that Concubine Jing did not participate in the poisoning, otherwise the Duke Ning's mansion would be in trouble, and the Marquis of Hengyuan was a lesson for them.

Emperor Yongming lost his temper, vented the anger that had been held in his heart for a long time, and did enough tricks to frighten all the dissident guys, and also diverted everyone's attention to the Queen's physical condition. Emperor Yongming didn't tell Wei Chunlin about Wei Hongzheng's kidnapping of Shao Yunan. The reason he expressed was that he was so angry because Wei Hongzheng's words were rude and because Wei Chunlin's godson was helpless. Even if some people knew what Wei Hongzheng did in Yongxiu County, Emperor Yongming couldn't show his anger because of it. This would only do harm to Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing, not the slightest benefit.

The queen went to the Grand General's Mansion to recuperate. It seemed to outsiders that Emperor Yongming was worried about the villains in the palace, but in fact, Emperor Yongming couldn't let people know that the queen suddenly recovered like this. This is not a good thing for the queen herself or for Shao Yunan.

That night, Elder Cen, who was still in Weng's residence, worriedly asked Elder Weng, who had just returned from the palace, "Senior brother, how is the Queen's situation?"

Weng Lao did not hide it from him, saying: "The queen is fine. After expelling the residual poison, the abdominal pain is also because the twins were pregnant, but only one fetus came out, and the other fetus turned into flesh and blood and stayed in the abdomen, which caused the abdominal pain. This time, it was also discharged together. Maybe the Guyuan paste made by Yunan really has some effect. But this matter cannot be publicized. The emperor arranged the queen in the General's Mansion for the safety of the queen. The queen this time It can be considered a small birth, and it can be rested in the General’s Mansion.”

Old Cen breathed a sigh of relief: "This is really good. Your Majesty's concerns are also right. If some people know that the Queen is in good health, I'm afraid they will be tempted. I still have some Guyuan paste in my place, and my senior brothers will give them to me. Queen."

Old Weng said tentatively, "You don't want to eat it? I feel much better after taking Guyuan paste. This Yun An is really ingenious."

Old Cen immediately smiled and said: "So senior brother also found out. Since I lived with An Ge'er and Ishii, my spirit is getting better and better, I can fall asleep if I say sleep at night, and I don't wake up at night. , I woke up to dawn. An Ge'er made porridge and stew for me and my wife every day in different ways. My wife said a few days ago that I lost my gray hair. In fact, I wanted to go back. , the food at my brother's house is tasteless, but the dishes from Anger and Ishijong are delicious. Now it's time to make spring tea, I have to go back early, and Anger said that he will keep the best for me."

Old Weng was jealous and hated: "You stay in the capital for me! You are not allowed to go back until these books are not fully understood! Humph!"

"Haha," Old Cen was even more embarrassed, not afraid of death, "who told me to have a good son."

Weng Lao: "You have to keep half of the best spring tea for me!"

"Hahaha……"

After eating at Weng's mansion, Elder Cen went back to his son's mansion. The reason was that the senior brother had been busy in the palace for a day, so he should rest early. He also did not go back for many days. He went back to see his granddaughter and the child. After Cen returned to his son's house, he immediately wrote a letter asking his son to send someone back to Xiushui Village immediately, to Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing. At the same time, Old Cen sent all the Guyuan paste and honey pomelo tea that he had kept to the Weng Mansion, and asked his senior brother to pass it on to the queen.

The Marquis of Hengyuan's mansion was raided, and it was not known what the hearts of the noble families in the capital were like. More than 300 people from the Marquis of Hengyuan's mansion were imprisoned here. At the same time, the gold and silver treasures confiscated in the Marquis Hengyuan's mansion amounted to tens of millions of taels, and the national treasury was only a few million taels of silver. As soon as the news came out, the entire capital was in an uproar. Sure enough, the gold and silver of the Marquis Hengyuan Mansion was more abundant than the treasury, so it was no wonder that Wei Hongzheng would say such outrageous remarks, and it was no wonder that Marquis Hengyuan did not take His Majesty the Emperor seriously.

A huge family was wiped out in an instant like this, because of just a few rebellious and outrageous remarks. In modern society, at most, I would sue you for hurting your reputation, but in a monarchical society, these few words are enough to lead to death and disaster. Even if someone couldn't bear Hengyuan Hou's mansion to invite this calamity, they couldn't ask for mercy, and to ask for mercy would mean agreeing with these bad words.

The number of cells was limited, and the people of the Marquis of Hengyuan were all locked up in one cell, even the Marquis of Hengyuan and Wei Chunlin were detained with his sons. But among these sons, there are none of the second son Wei Hongwen and the eldest son Wei Hongru, who have been missing.

In the area where felons are being held, in the most remote cell, Wei Hongru was held in solitary confinement. When Wei Hongru learned what Wei Hongzheng had said, his father was stripped of his title, and the Hou Mansion was confiscated, he knew that even if he and Hongwen were loyal to the Emperor and the Queen this time, it would be difficult to change the situation of the Hengyuan Hou Mansion and his own situation. Those rebellious and outrageous words came out, and it was a great grace for the emperor not to be chopped up and down by the whole family. But when he was held in solitary confinement, there was another hope in his heart.

There were cries of grievances, weeping, and scolding from other cells. Wei Hongruan sat quietly on the bed covered with a slightly clean quilt. A prison head came over with a lunch box, opened the door of the cell, put the lunch box on the table, turned around and was about to leave.

"etc!"

The head of the cell turned around, and Wei Hongru asked, "This eldest brother, I want to ask where my family is being held?"

The man said: "Master Hou's cell is in front of you, and next to you is an empty cell. The young man just listened to Shangfeng's orders. Little did not know anything about other matters, so don't ask." After that, the man went out. Lock the cell door and leave.

Wei Hongru watched the man go away and came to the table to open the food box. Unexpectedly, the food in the food box may not be exquisite, but it is hot, and there is meat, vegetables and rice. What are the plans of the emperor and the queen? Wei Hongru sat down nervously.
