The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows meaningfully and said, "I think it's because the emperor is traveling south, climbing mountains and lakes. The emperor is in a good mood and is in high spirits, so it is easy for his concubine to get pregnant. But the emperor seems to think that it is Tao Zhongwen. The elixir is useful."

After he finished speaking, as if he just remembered that Wang Yanqing was still in his arms, he lowered his head and asked, "I accidentally said something wrong just now, do you mind?"

Wang Yanqing was blocked for a while, but he couldn't if he wanted to have a seizure, so he could only blink his eyes ignorantly and ask, "What?"

"It's fine if you don't understand." Lu Heng wrapped his arms around Wang Yanqing's waist and tapped his fingertips, with an undisguised smile in his eyes, "Tao Zhongwen didn't know where he heard the recipe, but he was whimsical, saying that he used a woman's recipe. Yuexin's alchemy can nourish yīn, replenish the yang, and keep fit. After taking it, it is guaranteed to make a woman pregnant and give birth to a son. The emperor was very convinced and asked Tao Zhongwen to continue to donate this pill. The emperor also gave me one, but unfortunately, I guess I use it not up."

Wang Yanqing suddenly felt that the hand he was holding on his waist was extremely hot, and even the movement of rubbing the fabric seemed meaningful. Wang Yanqing's ears instantly turned red, and he pushed his hand with pursed lips: "Let go, I'm going back."

Lu Heng's palm was empty, he rubbed his fingertips reluctantly, and said slowly to Wang Yanqing, "I mean I'm not married yet, so it's inconvenient to take this medicine. Qingqing, did you misunderstand?"

He even had the face to ask, Wang Yanqing didn't believe what he meant by his original words! Wang Yanqing finally couldn't bear it anymore, glared at him angrily, turned and walked quickly.

After the emperor had a son, some sweet troubles also followed. Pedestrian Sizheng Xue Kan sparsely mentioned the establishment of the crown prince. The prince has always been a major event in the society. Now that the emperor has his own son, the minister reminded the emperor to consider establishing the crown prince. It is a normal thing. Unexpectedly, the emperor was furious after reading the memorial, sent Xue Kan to prison, and ordered people to track down the mastermind behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how could Xue Kan, a small Sizheng, dare to talk about the establishment of the reserve?

However, Xue Kanjie was a literati, but his bones were very hard. No matter how the torture instrument was used, he would not confess. He insisted that the memorial was written by himself. Seeing that the interrogation has been inconclusive for several days, the case has come to a stalemate. One day at night, a sedan chair stopped in front of the prison gate, and the jailer came to stop it. The boy took out his waist badge and said to the gatekeeper, "My lord is the servant of the Ministry of Personnel, Mr. Peng, who was entrusted by Xue Kan's family to come to give to an old friend. Bring some warm clothes."

When the jailer heard the official minister, he didn't dare to say anything else, and immediately let him go. Peng Ze, the minister of personnel, changed into his regular clothes and walked into the dark prison in a low-key manner. The officials in charge of the case, Sun Yingkui and Cao Bian, hurriedly greeted them and saluted: "Master Shilang."

Among the six departments, the personnel department is the most expensive, and the minister of the personnel department is the second-in-command after the Shangshu. Historically, only the first assistant's cronies could sit in this position. How could Sun Yingkui and Cao Bian offend the minor officials. Seeing them, Peng Ze raised his hand lightly and said, "I'm here to meet my old friend today in my personal capacity. You don't need to be polite, get up."

When Sun Yingkui and Cao Bian heard it, they knew that Peng Shilang was beating them to keep secrets and could not spread the news of tonight's events. Although the officials involved were not allowed to see outsiders during the investigation, the rules were dead, people were alive, and they were officials from the same dynasty. The death rules of the court were far less important than the likes and dislikes of Lord Shilang. Sun Yingkui and Cao Bian were not unsophisticated people, they repeatedly said yes, tacitly leading the way.

Soon, he arrived at the prison where Xue Kan was being held. Peng Ze put his hands on his sleeves and said, "It's been cold recently, and the prison is full of anger. You two have worked hard. I'm watching here. You can go out and have a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."

This is to support Sun Yingkui and Cao Bian. Sun Yingkui hesitated, but Cao Bian had already complied, and he took Sun Yingkui and went out.

Sun Yingkui was staggered, and after walking past the corner, Sun Yingkui asked in a low voice, "This is a case that the emperor personally ordered to investigate.

Cao Bian quickly glared at Sun Yingkui, motioning him to be quiet. Cao Bian looked back and forth and made sure that no one saw them, so he pulled Sun Yingkui to hide behind the wall: "Why don't you understand! Peng Shilang came to see the prisoner, but he was wearing normal clothes, and he deliberately chose to go after dark. , why did he come to see his old friend, he was clearly going here for someone else."

Sun Yingkui blinked and suddenly reacted: "You mean, the first assistant?"

"Yeah." Cao Bian only reacted when he saw his companion, and his forehead was sweating with anxiety, "Also, Peng Shilang and Xue Kan are Jinshi in the same year."

"What happened to the Jinshi in the same year..." Sun Yingkui murmured incomprehensibly. The Jinshi in the same ranking brought three points of closeness and friendship. In the future, he joined the official and Hanlin at the same time, and many friends in the DPRK and China became connected because of this. Peng Ze also said that he and Xue Kan are good friends, which is very reasonable...

Suddenly, Sun Yingkui's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it: "Jinshi in the same year... Wasn't Xia Ge also in high school that year?"

Cao Bian hurriedly hissed and motioned for Sun Yingkui to whisper. Sun Yingkui was so terrified that he couldn't speak, and the messy fragments quickly formed a line in his mind.

Xue Kan submitted a letter to propose the establishment of a crown prince, and the emperor was unexpectedly furious; the minister of officials came to see Xue Kan late at night, Xue Kan and the cabinet scholar Xia Wenjin were born in the same year, and I heard that private jiāo was acceptable; and Xia Wenjin repeatedly contradicted Zhang Shoufu, it is said that Zhang Shoufu was not happy Xia Wen has been sincere for a long time...

Sun Yingkui's mind was blank and sweaty, and he was caught up in the cabinet struggle without any precaution. He knew that the court struggle was fierce, but he was only a small contributor, and he never thought that the court struggle would come to him one day. Sun Yingkui's hands and feet were sweating, and even his voice was gruff: "Then what are we going to do, do you pretend you don't know?"
