Chapter 173
When Lou Shaojie wanted to transfer troops, he had to report to his superiors, and then Emperor Chengqi gave orders.

"What are you mobilizing troops for?" Emperor Chengqi looked at Xu Ze.

"It's not that I can't give you the soldier talisman, but if you don't say anything, the name Concubine Xu will be tied for a lifetime."

Xu Ze is not an honest person, he has a thick skin, this kind of ridicule is not painful to him, "Rebellion."

Emperor Chengqi disliked it, "You are so lazy even as a civil servant, you have to do such a tiring job of rebellion, you have to do it early."

Xu Ze clicked his tongue, but he had to admit that what he said was true.

"In addition to the military talisman, there must be a decree. You must ask me to write a reason?" Emperor Chengqi often suspected that he was not an emperor at all.

As a last resort, Xu Ze took a step forward and whispered in his ear for a while, only to see that the other person's expression changed from relaxed to dignified, and then to angry.

"Who?"

Xu was in a dilemma, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but there is too little evidence now. Telling you is equivalent to giving you eye drops in advance, which is inappropriate. Lou Shaojie and Huang Que's abilities don't need to be said more, you wait Wait, there will be results soon."

"Are you afraid that I will favor you?"

Xu Ze didn't have the heart to argue with him, "Okay, this soldier is no longer transferred, and I'm going to call back the people from Dali Temple." There are so many cases to be investigated at hand.

When Lou Shaojie got the soldier talisman and the transfer order, he immediately left the city and rushed to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. Gu Kao happened to be on duty, so the two followed Xu Ye's mark with soldiers and horses to the deep mountains.They didn't know whether there was no road or the mountain road was covered by snow. It took them a lot of effort to meet Xu Ye and the people from Dali Temple under a cliff.

There were several crossbowmen lying on the ground, their blood had coagulated, and they looked dead.

"These are guard posts nearby." Xu Ye's neck and waist were injured to varying degrees, and he didn't have time to bandage him. He urged Gu Kao to go around the cliff immediately and surround the Orion Village over there, otherwise it would be too late.

Lou Shaojie was very worried about his injury, but he was even more afraid of having long nights and dreams.If these people were allowed to hide, Xu Ye's injuries would be in vain.

Gu Kao quickly surrounded the Orion Village. His group of soldiers and horses had not only the latest crossbows, but also firearms that made foreigners daunted. There were even ten gunpowder masters, more than enough to deal with the Orion Village.On the way here, he learned that Xu Ye had recommended him to Dali Temple, and Gu Kao knew that the case was related to the Zhang family.

The hatred that had been suppressed for many years welled up in his heart, and he tensed every string of his heart, focusing like never before, never allowing failure.

Xu Ye was sure that they could get things done, so he went back to Beijing first.I haven't sent any news for a few days, so the little girl must be worried.

Cheng Fu really had a hard time sleeping and eating, and would ask Xu Ye every day if he had any news, and even walked to the front yard on purpose for a walk after a meal, naively thinking that maybe he would come back just in time.

"Master Xu, you are back..."

"Mr. Xu, your body... God..."

The little maid who was on duty at night was still flustered, but Xu Ye had pushed away from Cheng Fu's room and strode in.Cheng Fu slept very lightly these days, and woke up when she heard the movement outside, and was hugged by a man covered in snow and snow.

"Whoever is outside, hurry up and call for a doctor, right away." She smelled the smell of blood, so she couldn't care less about tenderness.

"Don't drive me away." Xu Ye acted wearily.

Cheng Fu helped him to his bed, "Lie down quickly."

Because the little girl was in a hurry, most of her skirts were opened, and the spring was full of beauty.Xu Ye slowly turned his face away and let out a long sigh.Cheng Fu thought he was in pain, so he hurried to find someone to get the medicine box, first to find out the pain-relieving pills.Seeing her busy, Xu Ye sighed again.

"It's really boring..." I can't eat it.

Xu Ye's body was almost full of arrow wounds. Although they missed the point, they were quite deep.Jiazhi rushed all the way back to the city, and it was already in disrepair.The old doctor, who was praised by the trauma expert, was busy until dawn to deal with it.After prescribing the prescription, he gave some more detailed instructions, and by the way comforted Cheng Fu not to worry too much.

After the doctor left, the little girl wiped his face and body with a hot handkerchief, carefully avoiding the place where the bandage was applied, "Do you want me to be a widow?"

"It's not that serious." Why, no matter in Jinling or the capital, he always felt that the little girl's bed was the most comfortable, it was fragrant, warm and soft.

Cheng Fu pulled up a chair and sat down beside the bed, "Xu Liu, I decided...forget it."

"What?" Xu Ye asked softly.

Cheng Fu sniffed, "As long as you and my brother are fine, I don't care."

"What are they worthy of your hard work? Why should the man I dote on suffer like this. It's my fault for making you so tired. It won't happen in the future. It's over now."

Xu Ye gently wiped away tears for her, "They are not worth it, but you are."

The little girl suddenly grabbed his hand with a sincere expression: "It doesn't matter, let's get married."

Xu Ye felt that the wound stopped hurting instantly, "Can you let me say this kind of thing." Don't grab your man's words every time.

****
There is no need for Xu Ze to say more, Lou Shaojie and Gu Kao will naturally report the whole case to Emperor Chengqi in detail.

That day, when the snow stopped, only Emperor Chengqi, Zhao Yantao, Xu Ze, Lou Shaojie, and Gu Kao were in the imperial study, and only Eunuch Changshun was waiting, and no outsider knew what they said in detail.

Afterwards, Emperor Chengqi left Xu Ze alone, "You know that I will have opinions on your actions, why don't you avoid suspicion?" For example, bypassing him to find the East Palace, you will definitely get the justice they want.

Xu Ze shook his head lightly, "It's up to the emperor how he thinks of his subject. The subject is only loyal to one person and responsible to only one person."

"Won't you feel uncomfortable when you fetch water from a bamboo basket?" Even though he knew each other well, Emperor Chengqi was still a little curious.

Xu disagreed, "Your Majesty, I never had any expectations."

Emperor Chengqi's face was calm, but in fact he was already filled with overwhelming anger, but he didn't want to get angry with Xu Jiancheng, who looked a little lonely today, "I heard that Xu Liu was seriously injured, so don't let the root cause of the disease go. I promise you half a month." Leave to accompany my son, so I can watch him recuperate, don't let me know that he is jumping around outside."

Xu Ze didn't know that he was being sympathized by Emperor Chengqi, so he said solemnly: "The wounded master said that our Sixth Young Master lost both energy and blood, and I was thinking about how to make up for it with a thousand-year-old stewed hen with ginseng. Your majesty, in your warehouse..."

"Get out." Emperor Chengqi couldn't hold back and threw the brush washer out.

Xu Ze easily avoided it again, but Chang Shun closed his eyes in pain.He really wanted to remind Emperor Chengqi that there are only two brush washes in the world, and the last time he scolded the prince for dropping one, this is the last one, and the craftsman passed away last year, so it may be difficult to get another brush wash of the same quality in the future. Appear.

After Xu Ze went back, Emperor Chengqi sat quietly in the imperial study for a while, and ordered someone to call the crown prince and Prince Rui.The East Palace was very close, and the prince was a little impatient when he was called over while his butt was still warm.Emperor Chengqi ignored the other party's expression, and let him sit behind the screen.

Zhao Yanran has been staying at home behind closed doors, accepting Emperor Qi's call, it can be regarded as helping him make a choice.Coincidentally, he also wanted to explain to the other party as his son why the child disappeared in the Zhang family and was found in the Zhang family.

"...After Han'er disappeared, Erchen's home and the prime minister's house were checked behind closed doors, and there was indeed no trace. Why Haner appeared in the mother-in-law's house again, Erchen and his wife still don't understand. Erchen admitted that he was impulsive. Involuntary innocent people have lost the face of the royal father and the clan, and my ministers are willing to come to the door with a heavy gift to make amends and seek forgiveness from the sufferer." These words are sincere, and they are indeed words from the heart of Zhao Yanran.That's all he thought he could do now.

After patiently listening to his words of repentance, Emperor Chengqi did not make a decision on this matter, but let Lou Shaojie and Gu Kao, who had returned to the imperial study, repeat what they had found out.

It took only a quarter of an hour for Zhao Yanran's face to change from calm to shocked. When he was still in a daze, Emperor Chengqi ordered Lou Shaoji to go to the Jingding Yamen to mobilize people to surround the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and none of them could be released. Kao took people to continue searching in the mountains to ensure that no fish slipped through the net.

Only Emperor Chengqi and his son remained in the royal study.

"The spring banquet back then... was my mistake. I should not have concealed the truth to balance the Zhang family, and to fulfill your wish. Zhang Wanqing is not a good match." To admit his mistakes is extremely important for a king. difficult.

Zhao Yanran came back to his senses, his heart was full of pain and disappointment, he wondered if he still had to pretend to be ignorant of what happened back then?

"Huangchengwei found out the truth at that time. Zhang Wanqing plotted against you and Gu Changyan, and the right minister chose to use the handle in exchange for this marriage. The Gu family chose to give the compensation to Gu Yanyun. Zhen, you, the Zhang family, the Gu family Everyone got what they wanted from it." Only Gu Changyan was sacrificed.

"Just now, I was thinking whether to demote Zhang Wanqing as a concubine, and marry you and Gu Changyan...Cheng Fu again. But Xu wants this daughter-in-law, as long as he likes someone, I can't compete." Emperor Chengqi spoke very slowly, revealing the vicissitudes of life.

Zhao Yanran knelt down, "Father, what will you do with the Zhang family?"

Emperor Chengqi was a little tired, "I am waiting for the right minister to come, and I will give him another chance to choose."

"Now I ask you, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhao Yanran kowtowed to Emperor Chengqi, "It's all up to my father."

Emperor Chengqi still loved him, and he was somewhat displeased with his slumped appearance, "I think about it, and you go back and think about it too."

Zhao Yanran left the imperial study in a daze, and Zhao Yantao came out from behind the screen.

"Father, this is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exile." Zhao Yantao was a little annoyed.

Emperor Chengqi squinted, "It's still the Chengqi year, you haven't succeeded to the throne yet, dare to control your father's decision, do you want to be kicked out of the East Palace?"

"I dare not." Zhao Yantao gritted his teeth.

"Oh, you don't dare to talk about it."

Being ridiculed, Zhao Yantao couldn't hold back, "I always envy my father for having such a good minister as Xu Ze by his side. If he bypasses you and let the East Palace come forward in the matter of the Zhang family, then the right minister will be a prisoner at this moment, and my son will also won't let you save people.

But he knew that you would show favoritism, and the result of favoritism was to wrong his daughter-in-law, but he still chose you.Father, if you say something disrespectful, my son often thinks, what virtue and what are you capable of. "

"...Come here, the crown prince disrespects his father and gives him twenty court sticks, drag it down."

The news that the crown prince was beaten quickly spread throughout the capital, and the palace didn't hide the reason, so everyone knew that he contradicted Emperor Chengqi, and it was because of the right minister.And what kind of moth came out of Youxiang's mansion, and it was slowly dug out.

At this time, Emperor Chengqi was still waiting for Master Zhang.
