Early the next day, it was still dark.

Several important court officials came to Qianqing Hall early.

Several people exchanged glances, it was natural that they couldn't be ignorant of the big movement last night.

Several of the patriarchs who are close to the Wang family are filled with indignation.

"The imperial concubine is so evil, and treats me and the Chinese who are scented like weeds!"

"There are also the generations of Miao Zifang who weave and sell seats, who have invaded the door and stepped down in a grandiose way, treating the wealthy and inferior, and the law of the country as nothing!"

"Today's slaughter of Wang is like slaughtering pigs and dogs, and I will become meat on the cutting board in the future!"

...

Several people yelled a few words, but found that fewer people responded than they expected. It stands to reason that this kind of evil behavior should be treated by the same enemy.

Before I had time to delve into it, I suddenly heard a commotion at the entrance of the hall.

A tidal wave of discussion sounded, and many people speeded up their pace and walked towards the gate of the hall.

Who is here?

Finally, the crowd gradually separated, and a graceful figure crossed the crowd and walked all the way to the temple.

It turned out to be the long-lost Prime Minister Wei!

Since he became ill, his old man lived in the inner house, chanting the wind and making the moon every day. It was so leisurely. Some noble courtiers came to visit and rejected them all because of the serious illness. He looks like he completely shakes his hands on the political affairs and provides peace of mind. Why are you here in a blink of an eye?

I know that this old fox can't really give up and be a rich man for a lifetime!

Many courtiers exchanged their eyes. Prime Minister Wei appeared in the court hall today because of Wang Shangshu's affairs. After such a big change, his old man could not sit still.

The eyes of Shi Lang of the Ministry of Rites were a little red, and he was full of excitement. He and Wang Shangshu are relatives of children. They were worried about the next protest, and lacked a significant leader. Now Prime Minister Wei comes back and is a ready-made leader.

He leaned forward: "Master Wei... I heard that Wang Shangshu's mansion was invaded by the forbidden army yesterday. It was like a robber crossing the border. It was terrible." Wei Pinyao dismissed the prime minister's errands. He didn't know what to call him. He could only call it a vague adult. Come to deal with it.

Prime Minister Wei smiled kindly: "This matter is of great importance, and the court must give an explanation."

Everyone around pricked their ears.

Zhao Shilang was overjoyed, but unfortunately before he had time to explain it carefully, Liu Xiuchun, the former general manager of the palace, said loudly: "Your Majesty, the emperor is here! The concubine is here!"

The ministers had no choice but to stop discussing and stand in line with the usual practice.

Prime Minister Wei walked unhurriedly to the front of the left, the position of Prime Minister left.

The right prime minister Tan Bohan twitched his eyebrows, and a bad premonition spontaneously emerged. This guy is sick at home, isn't the left minister's official position removed?

With the sound of Lingding, the two little eunuchs lifted a curtain of purple jade, Yuan Luo took Si Konglin's hand and walked into the hall side by side.

Sitting on the throne, she glanced at the ministers with different expressions, and smiled at Prime Minister Wei: "I haven't seen the Prime Minister for a long time. I miss it very much. See you today, the style is still the same, I wonder if your body is good now?"

Prime Minister Wei bowed and smiled and said, "Thank you, the emperor and the empress for worrying about him. The old minister was sick and frail, and had to rest at home. He has now recovered."

"The prime minister's illness is also for the sake of state affairs. This time we return to the dynasty, we must combine work and rest. Don't work and get sick again, so that the court will lose the pillars." Yuan Luo said with a smile.

The officials in the hall listened to the two singing and making a peace, and all of a sudden, they knew that Prime Minister Wei had returned to the court. This was allowed by the imperial concubine, or it was the result of the imperial concubine's support.

In exchange for the support of the imperial concubine, it is self-evident what price Webster had paid.

Zhao Shilang's face was pale and his body trembled slightly.

Sure enough, Yuan Luo then mentioned that Wang Neirong, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, had fornicated the rebellion of the East China Sea.

With an expression of righteous indignation, Prime Minister Wei sternly rebuked this kind of ungrateful dog-thief behavior, holding the royal salary but eating out, saying that as a noble representative who is loyal to the court, he must firmly draw a line from it.

A few of Wang's best friends and relatives still wanted to struggle to death, and under the pressure of a group of cronies headed by Prime Minister Wei, they soon lost their helmets and armor.

Most of the noble celebrities remained silent, some of them had already greeted Webster, and the rest knew how to recognize the situation.

Therefore, Wang Shangshu's collusion with the East China Sea King Yudang, the case was settled firmly.

All that remains is how to deal with the follow-up work of this rebellious group. Although the Wang family still has a strong foundation and private soldiers in the south, there is no room for struggle in the general environment of rebellion.

A family that had passed on for more than three hundred years and was older than the Tianyu dynasty ended in this way.

After leaving the court, Yuan Luo felt very happy, and a major event was finalized. Another burst of exhaustion. She didn't sleep all night last night, went to check Wang Shangshu's mansion in the first half of the night, and then went to Wei's mansion in the second half of the night to have a long conversation with Prime Minister Wei.

In order to completely get rid of Wang, she compromised with Webster.

This is the result of her thinking about the two evils, whichever is less.

At least, Prime Minister Wei is a smart man, and cooperation with smart people is profitable for both parties.

There are no permanent enemies, no permanent friends, only permanent benefits.

***

After auzw.com left the court, Prime Minister Wei returned to his inner house. Not long afterwards, the manager hurried in and presented a stack of greetings.

The Wechsler's door, which was left out because of its idleness, recovered its former lively after just one early period, even more lively than before. Outside the mansion, the cars of the dignitaries waiting to meet the prime minister lined up the entire street.

Prime Minister Wei sat in the hall and shook his head with a smile: "The poor are in the downtown area and no one asks, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains."

Such busy and worrying days, I really miss the leisurely life of most half a year before.

Wei Xi laughed: "If my father still wants to live leisurely, I'm afraid the imperial concubine will not be able to ask for it."

"Haha." To the ridicule of his son, Prime Minister Wei could only touch his beard and smile bitterly.

Recalling the situation where the imperial concubine visited last night, Wei Xi still felt like in a dream.

Neither father nor son slept. They had just received the news that Wang Shangshu's mansion was confiscated, and they were discussing follow-up measures with a few confidants in the lobby. Suddenly the manager ran in in a panic, sending unexpected news.

The imperial concubine empress came to visit, and Prime Minister Wei immediately screened the guests and greeted them outside the mansion in person.

The figure that came down from the frame was slender and gorgeous, like a bright moon falling into the world. Wei Xi and Miao Zifang retired the surrounding servants and guards, and then the two personally guarded the door.

Prime Minister Wei and the imperial concubine talked for more than half an hour in the lobby Bingzhuye. Later, he personally sent the concubine out of the palace.

"Returning to this position is not the same as before. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves forward." Prime Minister Wei touched his gray beard, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.

In just a few years, the imperial concubine presided over the political affairs, and the magnificent image became prominent. And the magical prophecy about celestial phenomena. Last time, Jin Wanliang not only bought a piece of useful news, but for Webster, it was more important to verify that the imperial concubine really had the ability to predict celestial phenomena. He can't help but feel fear, who has never been afraid of ghosts and gods.

Is it true that the general trend of the world is the decline of the family and the rise of the poor? They are ordinary people, can they only follow the trend...

The conversation between the father and son did not last long. The steward has led the visiting guests in. It is Lu Qian, Shangshu of the Household Department.

To the old friend, Prime Minister Wei greeted him politely.

Wei Xi was impatient with these matters. As a junior, he greeted the other party and walked out of the lobby.

He went down the corridor and wanted to go back to his yard.

On the way, suddenly a subordinate rushed over and reported a message in a low voice.

After hearing this, Wei Xi's expression changed drastically: "You trash, it's not good for everyone!"

***

After nightfall, the patter of rain fell again.

Bring the coolness that is rare in this season.

Gu Yi rode his horse along the long street. The curfew was approaching, and pedestrians were barely visible on the whole street.

He just wants to go home and take a shower and sleep well. In the past two days, he has been searching for Wang's remnant party with his subordinates in the capital, and he has not returned home for several days.

Seeing that the mansion was about to arrive, suddenly a shadow rushed out in front of him. Gu Yi restrained the horse urgently, but did not run into it.

The opponent was still shocked and fell to the ground.

Gu Yi got off his horse and stepped forward to help him up.

He is a very elegant and literary scholar, dressed in thick robes, which makes him thinner and thinner, with three-pointed shyness between his brows and eyes.

This is a face that makes people feel good. Gu Yi froze for a moment, always feeling that this face was a bit familiar.

The other party smiled at him and said warmly: "Don't you remember the general next?"

"You are..." A bright light flashed in Gu Yi's mind, "You are Wang's doorman!" Those who are at large from the Wang Family's Yu Dang have been made into marine arrest documents and issued to various city gates. The young man in front of him was one of them, and he seemed to be called Peng Yueming.

The young man was Peng Yueming who escaped from the palace.

Gu Yi was in a complicated mood. The suspect who was still busy hunting down during the day appeared in front of him today.

what is this? Sit back and wait for the rabbit, throw yourself into the net?

"The name is insulting, it's rare that the general can remember me and other little people." Peng Yueming seemed to be relieved.

"Mr. Peng's willingness to surrender himself is a wise move. The court is lenient, and all those who are willing to confess the guilt in the past shall be dealt with with leniency." Gu Yi could only say so. He did not deceive him. According to the imperial concubine's order, these Wang's followers were willing to confess Wang's secrets, and those who had done nothing wrong before could be dealt with leniently.

Peng Yueming chuckled, "Thank you for the general's reminder. It was just to find the general below, not for the sake of catching it, but to do a business with the general."

Gu Yi blurted out, "What business?"

"Please withdraw the army from the soldiers around you, I dare to explain."

Gu Yi looked down, but thinking of the strength gap between the two sides, he waved his hand to make the guards who followed him back.

Waiting for the rest of the people to retreat far away. Peng Yueming took out something from his chest.

Gu Yi clearly saw the jade pendant with cloud patterns in his palm, and his mind and body trembled instantly, revealing incredible eyes.

"Where did you... get this thing?" He suppressed the tremor of his body, but couldn't suppress the tremor of his voice.

This clouded jade pendant has a transparent color and special texture, like a natural landscape painting. It was carved by his second brother Gu Zhen himself in the early years, and he has been wearing it since then. In the big defeat two years ago, several elder brothers and father were killed in battle. There was also news that the second elder brother was captured on the battlefield, and there was no news later. He knew that Gu Zhen's character was mostly unwilling to surrender, and he was killed.

Unexpectedly, the man in front of him had his second brother's jade pendant.
