Finally agreed on the reward for Qin Yuan and Qin Xueyang's father and daughter, the emperor felt a little at ease, and then, the emperor said: "Zhen Jian has made great achievements this time, and he should be rewarded, but he must be severely punished. ” The ministers all shouted: "The emperor is sage." ” Next, the emperor had a gloomy face and said, "Then, now let's discuss how to severely punish Qin Huan." ” Ge Guangtong was the first to jump out again and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Qin Huan should be punished with capital punishment, otherwise it will be difficult to deter. ” Uncle Guo, who had been silent, suddenly came out of the ranks, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Qin Huan is now absconding in fear of crime, no matter how he is convicted, it is useless, and he should immediately raid his house and put Qin Huan's family in the edict prison, if Qin Huan learns that his family is taken to the edict prison, he will definitely appear." ” When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look at Uncle Guo, who is in his early sixties this year, is the emperor's own uncle, once, Uncle Guo and Qin Huan fought against each other in the court, and the power was equal, but later because he lost to Qin Huan, he was suppressed by the emperor, and Uncle Guo resigned from an important position, and he has always said that he is sick and does not ask about government affairs, and today he actually came, which is really strange.
Ming Guogong and Qingguo Gong didn't think this was unusual, they felt that Uncle Guo was preparing for a resurgence, and they couldn't help frowning.
In the eyes of Ming Guogong and Qing Guogong, whether it is Uncle Guo or Qin Huan, both of them are not good birds, they are traitors, they don't want to see Uncle Guo resurrect, otherwise it will be meaningless to bring down Qin Huan, if Uncle Guo rises, then it will be the next Qin Huan.
Duke Ming and Duke Qing glanced at each other, and Duke Qing Guo came out of the column and saluted: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter should not be taken to Zhen Jian's words, and he should first go to the sea to arrest the warrant, find Qin Huan, and then be tried by the emperor in person, as for Qin Huan's family, the emperor should not treat him harshly, after all, Qin Huan did not commit treason or rebellion." ” Ming Guogong then came out and said: "The old minister seconded the proposal, the emperor should not treat Qin Huan's family harshly, so as not to be criticized, the emperor's reputation is so important." ” Hearing this, the others looked at Ming Guogong and Qingguo Gong with surprised eyes, I don't know which one these two sang, they have always been not dealing with Qin Huan much, how can they help Qin Huan today.
In fact, they didn't want to help Qin Huan, but they had to put this matter off and wait for Zhen Jian to come back, otherwise if Qin Huan was killed in a hurry, Uncle Guo would definitely sit up quickly, and when Zhen Jian came back, there would be nothing to do with Zhen Jian.
The emperor pondered for a moment when he heard this, and nodded slowly: "Well, what the two princes said is quite appropriate, then I sent the Imperial Forest Army to surround the Qin Mansion and put his family under house arrest, this is always okay." ” Qing Guogong nodded: "This is naturally possible." ” The emperor said: "Okay, then send troops to immediately surround Qin Huan's mansion, and at the same time, issue an official document to capture Qin Huan!"
” ………… At the end of the discussion, the ministers left the palace one after another, and as soon as they left Chaotianmen, Qingguo Gong heard someone in the rear call him: "Qing Guogong, don't come unharmed." ” Qing Guogong turned around and found that it was Uncle Guo, Uncle Guo stroked his beard lightly, and walked towards him with a smile, Qing Guogong smiled indifferently, raised his eyebrows and said: "Naturally, it is Uncle Guo who has been sick all these years, and today he actually appeared in the Lin De Palace, it seems that Uncle Guo's illness has finally recovered." ” Uncle Guo smiled and said, "We don't say dark words, the old man has never been sick, but he just doesn't want to see Qin Huan." ” Qingguo Gong smiled and said: "You are also honest, now that Qin Huan has lost power, you plan to make a comeback?"
” "Qing Guogong laughed."
Uncle Guo shook his head and smiled, "The old man is so old, and what is the meaning of making a comeback, it is just to avenge one arrow." ” "yes, hehe."
Qing Guogong smiled perfunctorily, obviously not trusting his words.
Uncle Guo also knew that he didn't believe it, but he couldn't force Qing Guogong to believe it, he spread his hands and said: "I haven't seen him for more than ten years, Qing Guogong, why don't you go to the old man's mansion to have a drink and talk about a game?"
” "It's just that."
Qingguo Gong waved his hand and said, "You and I don't have a relationship with a drinker, if you have anything to say, just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush." ” Qing Guogong's words were very faceless, and Uncle Guo was not angry, he smiled and said: "Since Qing Guogong is so straightforward, then the old man will not go around in circles, Qing Guogong seems to have been not a person from Qin Huan all the way, why do you want to speak for Qin Huan today?"
” Qingguo Gong raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you also have to ask Lao Gai, and he also seconded it."
As he spoke, he pointed to Ming Guogong not far away.
"Huh."
Uncle Guo smiled dryly and said, "You Hou Gai and the two families have always worn the same pair of pants, so it's enough to ask you." ” Qingguo said: "Since this is the case, then Hou replied to Uncle Guo, the reason why Hou spoke for Qin Huan is because according to the law, Qin Huan did not commit treason or treason, and his family should not be involved, what Hou insisted on was just justice." ” "I didn't expect it, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Qingguo Gong has become an old fox."
Uncle Guo raised his eyebrows and teased, "That old man hopes that Qingguo Gong can continue to adhere to this heart of justice, be impartial, and there will be a period in the future."
Then he turned and left.
After Uncle Guo left, Ming Guogong walked up to Qing Guogong and asked, "What did Uncle Guo tell you just now?"
” Qingguo Gong frowned and said, "It's not that we can help Qin Huan speak, he seems to have guessed something." ” Ming Guogong looked at the back of Uncle Guo's departure, his eyebrows slowly wrinkled, and said: "Alas, it's really an eventful time, just about to bring down Qin Huan, Uncle Guo came out again, this thief is better than Qin Huan, the party is the same as Qin Huan above the court, and the momentum has surpassed Qin Huan, Qin Huan at least still abides by some rules, this guy doesn't abide by the rules at all, and actually forced our two major princes to take refuge in him." ” Qingguo Gong snorted coldly: "If he hadn't been too eager at the beginning and wanted to let our two great mansions turn to him, Qin Huan wouldn't have been able to catch him, our kingdom mansion can only be loyal to the emperor, and his emperor will never allow anyone to get too close to our mansion." ” Ming Guogong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then turned his head and asked, "Then what is our relationship with Zhen Jian......
Will it hurt Zhen Jian?
” "This ......"
Qingguo Gong didn't know how to answer for a while when he heard this, and he couldn't help frowning.
The official document of the sea fishing Qin Huan was issued on the same day, and the next day, the bulletin board of the capital and every city gate were posted on the official document of the sea fishing Qin Huan, and all the people who entered and left the city had to be checked, not only in the capital, but also in the states and counties around the capital have posted the official document of the sea fishing, and it is also spreading far away, this time, it is the whole country to arrest Qin Huan.
Not only are the people in the government arresting Qin Huan, but the beggar gang is also looking for Qin Huan, although the imperial court has been hiding the news of Qin Yuan's death in battle, but the beggar gang is so well-informed, they have long known the news of Qin Huan's death, and they also know that Qin Huan killed him, and all the beggar gang disciples are active to search for Qin Huan.
At this moment, in a ruined temple outside the capital, there were five beggars in rags, and these five beggars sat there motionless.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside, and four of the five beggars stood up in surprise, only one old beggar was still sitting, and the beggar who was sitting was Qin Huan.
Facing the pursuit of the court and the beggar gang, Qin Huan really had nowhere to hide, fortunately, there was a Shen Xiu beside him, Shen Xiu was a member of the beggar gang after all, and he knew the beggar gang's search methods, so he came up with a clever plan, pretending to be a beggar, the beggar gang looking for people, the easiest thing to ignore, but they beggar to help their own people, the most dangerous place is the safest place, this method is really effective, several times the beggar gang disciples came, Shen Xiu stepped forward to answer the code with those beggar gang disciples, and they could be sent away.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally, a beggar walked into the broken temple with a young man in a luxurious silk robe, Qin Huan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Sinner Qin Huan, meet His Royal Highness King Wei!"
” The young man in front of him is King Wei, one of the three princes.
The emperor had three sons, the crown prince, King Wei, and King Qi, of which the prince and King Qi were concubines, who were born to the queen, King Wei was a concubine, and his biological mother was Liu Guifei.
A few years ago, there were always some rumors that the prince suffered from thirst and did not live long, and King Qi did not know the severity of his work because of his head injury, and he often messed around, without the spirit of a monarch. said so, but the emperor specially crowned the imperial grandson last year, and the imperial grandson can also inherit the throne, and the imperial grandson is the eldest son of the crown prince, who is eight years old this year.
In this way, everyone understood what the emperor meant, and since then, these rumors have rarely been heard in the court.
Seeing Qin Huan's embarrassed appearance, King Wei couldn't help but smile and asked, "Lord Qin, why did you make it look like this." ” "It's hard to look back on."
Qin Huan raised his head and said, "Your Highness, don't make fun of the old minister, the old minister came to His Highness today, but he asked His Highness to save the old minister's life." ” Hearing this, King Wei smiled coldly, slowly paced in the broken temple with his hands, and said: "Lord Qin is really exalting this king, you committed this time, but it is a big crime, do you know, my father learned the news of Qin Yuan's death in battle, and passed out directly, and now my father is eager to dismantle you into eight pieces, although you and I have a little friendship, but this king is really powerless." ” "Your Highness can save the old minister."
Qin Huan said, "As long as His Highness agrees to save the old minister, the old minister is willing to support His Highness and ascend to the throne." ” When King Wei heard this, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, this sentence was too tempting for him, others said this, he may not believe it, but the words came out of Qin Huan's mouth, he had to believe it, because Qin Huan once supported his father and ascended the throne, you know, the first emperor was very optimistic about Prince Yun, but in the end, it was because of Qin Huan's strategy that Prince Yun was expelled from Beijing, and his father was on the throne.
King Wei turned his head suddenly, looked at Qin Huan, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you say......
Seriously?
” "If there is a violation!
Heaven and earth are destroyed!
Qin Huan solemnly swore to the sky.
