Lonely non-good minister

Mu Guogong?The prince came to him for help.

It's just that the evidence of the prince's case is solid, and he himself admits that he has done these things. Even if Mu Guogong has great ability, he can't clean up the prince's crimes, so what can he do if he finds him?

Song Yuan didn't really want to understand, nodded to show that he knew, and continued to wait patiently. After a long time, the prince's car drove up slowly, and a large number of soldiers rushed to surround Weitinghou's mansion, and surrounded the front of the Hou's mansion. Song Yuan stepped forward to wait for the prince, but the door opened but the prince couldn't get out.

"Since the emperor ordered you to declare the decree with me, no matter who goes there, it is fine." The crown prince handed out the decree in his hand: "This is the imperial decree sealed by the emperor, you go and declare the decree."

Announcing the decree together does not mean that I can announce the decree for you. You put the blame on Liang He yourself, and you are still pretending now. If you don't deliver the decree, will it prove that you are a prince who values ​​love and righteousness?

Of course Song Yuan would not listen to him: "Your Highness read out the imperial decree was ordered by the emperor himself, how dare I do it for you?"

"It doesn't matter, Gu will go in too, you go quickly." The prince handed over the imperial decree to those who followed the car and closed the car door, as if handing over the decision to Song Yuan.

He was in such a hurry, as if he was very much looking forward to stepping into the Hou's mansion.

Song Yuan glanced at the quiet Hou Mansion, the gate was closed tightly, it was too strange that no one came out after such a big battle stopped at the gate.

Wei Yan looked at Song Yuan, who was about to receive the order, but was stopped by Song Yuan, she cupped her fists and said, "Since His Royal Highness can't bear to issue an order because of the old feelings, then we can go in together after His Royal Highness has figured it out."

She took a few steps back and waited, Wei Yan immediately realized that this matter was fraudulent, and followed her away.

She didn't take the trap, but the prince in the car laughed instead.

The two were deadlocked outside Weitinghou's mansion, and the gate of the Hou's mansion had not been opened. Song Yuan pondered over and over again, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: No, the prince wants to delay time.

Although she is not sure if this is the case, she will definitely not leave any way for Liang He's family to survive. She understands the principle of cutting grass and roots.

Beckoning Wei Yan to come over, Song Yuan said in a low voice, "Marquis Wei Ting will commit suicide in fear of crime."

"No way." Wei Yan didn't realize it for a while, and after speaking foolishly, he met Song Yuan's eyes before he understood, nodded immediately and backed away.

Song Yuan also had patience, since the crown prince wanted to delay the time, then delay it well, she wanted to see what kind of magical power Mu Guogong had, and could persuade Emperor Taikang to withdraw the imperial edict.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the sound of horseshoes suddenly shattered the calm. Several fast horses rushed from one end of the long street, and the man on the horses held a bright yellow imperial decree and shouted: "The emperor has a decree."

The door of the carriage was pushed open at once, and the prince was blushing and couldn't hide his smile, and he got out of the carriage beaming. He glanced at Song Yuan triumphantly, and laughed at her youth and superficiality, but Song Yuan was calm and unhurried. Not surprised.

A bad premonition crossed the prince's mind, but he didn't care about it. After receiving the imperial decree, he took a closer look, and heaved a long sigh of relief: "The emperor has decreed that the case of the Marquis of Wei Ting's mansion is suspended, and the father and son of Xuan Wei Ting Marquis See you in the palace."

The people around responded, and ran to knock on the door. The closed door was opened. The porter looked at the soldiers outside, his face changed greatly in panic.

"It is said that Marquis Wei Ting and his son Liang He entered the palace to have an audience."

Hearing the shouting in front of the door, the servants of the Hou Mansion guarding the door immediately ran to spread the news, but no one came out after a long time, the prince was suspicious, and strode in, Song Yuan also followed.

After passing through the hall, he heard a burst of crying, seeing the servants of the Hou's mansion who hurriedly ran to this side, the prince was in a bad mood, he rushed into the house in a hurry, and in sight was Wei Tinghou who was hanged on the beam.

"You" the prince didn't catch his breath and almost fell down. He spent so much effort to save the Hou's mansion, but Wei Tinghou committed suicide.

Song Yuan glanced at the corpse, noticed something on the table, she picked it up and said: "My son Liang He fled in fear of sin, and I teach my son without face and sanctity. I would like to make atonement for my son. I beg the emperor to forgive the old man at home. young."

Hearing this, the Prince's eyes turned black with anger and blood. He didn't care that other people in the Hou Mansion were coming one after another, he walked out holding the arm of the servant beside him, and Song Yuan naturally followed.

When he came to the courtyard, the prince exhaled several times to calm down. He asked, "Where's Liang He? The emperor cares about him, Ding You, why isn't he here?"

Song Yuan looked at the suicide note in his hand suspiciously: Are your ears stuffed with donkey hair?Wei Tinghou said that Liang He absconded in fear of crime, you still ask?
The butler of the Hou's Mansion cried and replied: "Our family's eldest son was still here this morning, and now I don't know where he has gone."

"Hurry up and look for them. If you want to see people, you need to see dead bodies." The crown prince was in a hurry. If Liang He really absconded in fear of crime, even the gods would not be able to save him.

"Go back to the palace." The prince was very irritable.

Song Yuan entered the palace together with him, and when they arrived at the Taihua Palace, they saw that Mu Guogong was also there. He was a very energetic old man. Although his hair was gray, he was heroic.

"Where's Marquis Wei Ting?" Emperor Taikang looked indifferent, looking at the prince with obvious displeasure.

The crown prince felt that it was difficult to talk about it, so he hesitated for a while before saying: "My minister is not doing well, Wei Tinghou committed suicide in guilt."

Suicide?
This news surprised Taikang Emperor and Mu Guogong, both of them lowered their brows and pondered.

"Your Majesty, I found this on Wei Tinghou's desk." Song Yuan handed over the suicide note, Emperor Taikang waved his hand, motioning her to read it directly, Song Yuan read it obediently, and then stood quietly aside.

After Taikang Emperor listened, he asked in a deep voice: "Absconding in fear of crime? Did Liang He know the news in advance?"

"My son is not doing well, please forgive me." The prince knelt down.

Emperor Taikang looked at Song Yuan: "The opportunity you gave?"

Song Yuan also knelt down: "Grandson dare not, grandson immediately went to the East Palace after receiving the decree, only after waiting for a long time, did he get the order from His Royal Highness, and agreed to meet in front of the Hou's mansion at three o'clock. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, he waited at the door for another half an hour on the grounds that he could not bear to do anything to the Hou Mansion."

What Song Yuan said was the truth, the crown prince had no way to quibble, he really didn't expect Liang He to run away, if he ran away, he would be guilty of covering up.

"You delayed for three hours what I ordered you earlier in the morning." Emperor Taikang was very disappointed with the prince.

The crown prince lowered his head, he couldn't plead anything except pleading guilty.

"Your Majesty ordered the Young Master to announce the decree with His Royal Highness, and the Young Master never urged His Highness the Crown Prince?" Mu Guogong said suddenly, and pointed the finger at Song Yuan: "Don't you know that this will give the suspect a chance?"

Song Yuan opened his mouth, but before she could speak, he was interrupted by Emperor Taikang: "The prince has used his status and seniority to bully this child. I am afraid that he may not listen to this child's persuasion."
