fake prince

"I can't go back, and I can't go back."

"I have a public heart, and only I can support the backbone of this great Zheng."

The emperor will always be the emperor. The momentary betrayal made him in a trance, but soon he regained his majesty and self-respect.

"Hateful, are you bullying me while I'm old?"

Thinking about the report just now, he could vaguely see that a big net seemed to suddenly pounce on him. This feeling made the emperor hate it.

A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he immediately ordered: "Tell me the order, Xu Tinglan from the Siyuan Bureau, die immediately!"

"The guards of the period of thousands of households have business ethics, and they have owed the emperor's favor. They will be quarantined for inspection."

"Jianzhangwei's deputy commander He Wuling is dismissed, and will be quarantined for review!"

The purpose of these decrees was to immediately cut off the nodes of the network, and there was no impulsive killing of the general.

As for the female officials, they are not human beings in the eyes of the emperor.

It was handled properly, but seeing the eunuch quickly wrote the above metaphor with a pen and paid it up, the old emperor looked at it and frowned, as if he felt a little uncomfortable, so he didn't use the seal immediately.

Zhao Tianzhong looked up and saw it, and hurriedly lowered his head.

The old emperor turned around a few times, took out a small seal and stamped it on it, and there were clear four seal characters of "Changchun Master" in the decree, the seal was completed, and the emperor did not hand it over immediately.

Since Wei Shizu used the private seal of "Master of Jinyuan", emperors of all dynasties have used it. For example, the private seal of Emperor Long'an "Master of Jiyuan", but the emperor is "Master of Changchun".

"That's the order!"

As the emperor said, the eunuch respectfully knelt down to receive him, and the emperor asked Hu Huai'an, "How is the grandson?"

"Your Majesty, report the situation of the grandson three times a day."

Hu Huai'an reported one by one, but in fact there was nothing to say, the grandson's information was normal, even Hu Huai'an felt that the grandson was impeccable, but now who doesn't know that the emperor is dissatisfied with the grandson?

Hu Huai'an could only try his best to tell the information he got about the grandson in detail, as for the other things, it depends on the emperor's will.

"You mean, the grandson met the county officials one by one, arranged to check the accounts, and even scolded Zhang Dai? But he didn't make any rash moves?"

After getting an affirmative answer, the old emperor was silent, lingered for a while, and then smiled, causing everyone to look sideways.

"The great-grandson Zhang Chi has the right way. He can still hold his breath when he first faces a big event. He is really humble!"

The old emperor smiled to himself, and waved away his confusion, looking back, his words were clear.

"Let plan B start."

"Yes, the servant complies with the order." Hu Huai'an bowed and promised, and the hall was immediately filled with chills.

Division Court
It was a busy scene, because it was past the time of breakfast, people here were coming in and out, Xu Tinglan, who was wearing a female officer's uniform, was also in the crowd, as a female officer, she was directing people to work.

"Here, and there, let's move things to dry first." This woman, who doesn't look too young, can only be described as average in appearance, but she has a dignified look. The person at the top.

The maids and eunuchs instructed by her were very obedient.

But under her command, although there are many people and things are complicated, they are organized and not in a hurry.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and with a shout, more than a dozen people broke in at once. The leader had a fair face, and when he looked at people, he seemed to be smiling, but he turned out to be an old acquaintance.

Eunuch Ji is obviously much older than before, Xu Tinglan was also a little puzzled to bring people into the Siyuan Bureau like this, wondering what this group of people came here to do.

"Grandpa Ji, why are you here?" She stepped forward to greet her and asked.

But Eunuch Ji said lightly: "Xu Tinglan, get ready to receive the order."

Accept the purpose?

Let her accept the order?

Xu Tinglan is an old man in the palace, how can she not know the posture of this group of people and come here in a bad manner?
It turned out to be looking for her?

Did she commit a crime?
Xu Tinglan felt uneasy, but could only kneel down to accept the order.

"Xu Tinglan from the Bureau of the Department of Justice...is to be sentenced to death immediately!"

Eunuch Ji simply read out the decree, the content was very simple and clear, let her die, but, because she is an old man in the palace, the emperor still gave her a little bit of dignity, and she would kill herself instead of letting outsiders do it.

Even though Xu Tinglan had been through the storm for a long time, his face turned pale in an instant: "Eunuch Ji, I was wronged!"

Although she didn't know why the emperor wanted to kill her suddenly, she didn't do anything she shouldn't have done recently, right?
Eunuch Ji looked down at her, and said lightly: "I don't know if you are wronged or not, but this is the emperor's will, please go on your way."

Listening to Eunuch Ji's words, Xu Tinglan also knew that her own death was inevitable.

The emperor's will has been made, so will he suddenly change his mind for his own sake?
Indeed, there is no need to say whether it is wrong or not.

Moreover, when Eunuch Ji finished speaking, two young eunuchs had already hung a hemp rope on the beam of Xu Tinglan's house, watching with piercing eyes, as if they were about to send her on the road.

If she is shameless, then what is waiting for her is not to go on the road by herself, but to be sent on the road by someone.

Things have come to this, the dignity before death is always necessary.

Xu Tinglan smiled wryly, went straight into the room, and closed the door.

Her room has simple furniture and a cabinet, in which there are some silver, jewelry, and clothing. In fact, most of them are rewards from many years, and some of them are imperial gifts.

Xu Tinglan glanced over, these are her honors, but even if a person is about to die, they can't take them away, let alone meaningless.

She only took out a document from a cabinet, which was full of beautiful and delicate characters.

What she wrote was about the arrangement and work of the Siyuan Bureau. Every word was filled with her painstaking efforts. She read it in a daze, then tore up the document. She didn't say anything after that, didn't leave a word, let alone smashed , just stepped on the round stool and hung himself on the high beam.

As the round stool was kicked over, the figure hanging on it twitched and struggled, and after a while, it finally stopped moving.

Only then did the people outside push the door in and let him down.

After a while, the person in charge of the autopsy stepped forward, touched a few places, and pricked the sole of the foot with a silver needle before saying, "Dead."

Eunuch Ji stared at the corpse before turning around and going out.

Not long after he left the Siyuan Bureau with his people, he heard some noise. Eunuch Ji took a look and avoided it automatically. He saw two eunuchs with a dozen or so servants and five or six relatives. The military guards followed, apparently this group of people also went to arrest people.

Looking carefully at the captured person, he was also a familiar face, and it was the guard Qianhu Shangde.

Shang De was obviously caught by accident. Before that, he was unprepared. He was detained with disheveled hair and looked very embarrassed. Listening carefully, he could hear the constant shouting in his mouth: "Wrong! I am wrong! Let me go! I want See the emperor! I want to see the emperor!"

Eunuch Ji stopped and just watched quietly.

Until the group of people passed by, they didn't look away immediately, but sighed slightly in their hearts, and suddenly felt that even though it wasn't autumn yet, the palace was full of autumn.
