Lonely non-good minister

He had naturally thought about these consequences, but he just did it, and he was not afraid of bearing the consequences at all.

But answering like this at this moment will undoubtedly put Song Yuan under psychological pressure. After thinking about it, Huo Ying quickly gave the answer: "The Wei Dynasty can't withstand one after another. His Highness has already come to this step. Protect His Highness." , is to protect the Wei Dynasty, and I will be loyal to the Wei Dynasty."

Such a high-sounding reason, Song Yuan almost thought that what he just said was a little pretentious.

After adjusting his emotions, Song Yuan said: "Then you should investigate carefully."

She agreed with Huo Ying's suggestion and got rid of the royal family openly.

Huo Ying breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed to do it. Song Yuan also sent a letter to the great witch Zhiyan asking him to stop. At the same time, he wrote to Zhou Ye and asked Zhou Ye to arrange someone to send Yan Yan to Jingzhao.

The great witch Zhiyan is a character that is not easy to get rid of, and must be taken by surprise. However, Xu Yingrong has been in Jingzhao for so long, and even though she has not shown up a few times, Song Yuan believes that the great witch Zhiyan already knows her abilities very well, so dealing with her The great witch Zhiyan must not use Xu Yingrong.

The Tingwei Mansion was investigating the case vigorously and dispatched personnel at an extremely fast speed to the south where the royal family gathered. This made the royal family who wanted to stay in Jingzhao and kill Hong Ming Emperor extremely anxious. Within two days, the royal family submitted an order to return to their fiefdom. There were more and more, and Song Yuan didn't stop them, they were all on target.

Song Yu has been targeted by the Tingwei Mansion, and it will not be easy to leave. Being detained in Jingzhao, he is very anxious but has no choice. Fortunately, he spends generously and sends boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to the court. The families of several ministers who spoke to me wanted to ask them to intercede on their behalf.

But as soon as the gift-giver left, the things on the back were delivered to Song Yuan intact.

At this juncture, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Song Yuan wants to deal with this group of royals, so how can he dare to plead for them?
  "According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, the crimes committed by the Huai'an Prince's Palace are enough to expropriate the title and confiscate the family. The Tingwei Palace has already found out all the crimes. Your Highness should make a decision early on." The person who said this was Mu Guo, who always liked to watch. Sir, when Song Yu gave gifts, he did not forget this veteran of three dynasties.

But Duke Mu had already expressed his intention to seek refuge with Song Yuan, so he immediately came over with the generous gift from Song Yu. He changed his usual silent behavior and seriously thought of ways to help Song Yuan. To show your value.

Song Yuan grabbed a handful of emerald pearls from the box and played with them: "Huai'an Prince's Palace is a loyal minister who follows the late emperor. If Guruo attacks them too harshly, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the ministers." She was not willing to be a bad person. , unless there is a justifiable reason.

"Over the years, the royal family has treated the Huai'an Palace with enough courtesy. Now the Huai'an Palace is rampant, does not abide by the law, and is causing harm to the people. As the crown prince, His Highness, if he cannot be held accountable and punished severely, it will also chill the hearts of the people." Mu Guogong said early. She has already thought of a reason for her. No matter how important the heroes of the royal family are, can they still be more important than the common people in the world?

If Song Yuan accepts his reason, attacking the Huai'an Prince's Palace will not only not chill the hearts of his ministers, but also show that he cares about the world. If it spreads to the people, it will definitely win over a wave of people's hearts.

Song Yuan glanced at Duke Mu with satisfaction. The old guy was still useful when he was not messing around. If he continued to act like a fool, she would wonder if there was something fishy about this old guy who climbed to the position of Duke.

She threw the things back: "The law is important, so I will not pursue the matter of Song Yu's bribery. Remembering that his grandfather and father had made great contributions to the late emperor, I went out of the way to let him go and cut his title." For the sake of the common people, in addition to confiscating half of the property, the other half should be left for them to live by."

She did not force Song Yu to die, and was willing to leave half of the family property for Song Yu's family to continue to live. This, even if she favored her, could be regarded as telling the royal family who tried to resist stubbornly that even if they confessed, they would not lose their lives. To prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry. The originally troublesome royal family became a simple matter because Huo Ying suddenly launched an attack on the Huai'an Prince's Palace. This made Song Run, who had been staying in Jingzhao and wanted to support Song Yuan, relax. After making sure that Song Yuan was out of favor, Song Run Run requested an order to return to Shanggu.

He has been away for too long, and he always has to go back to take charge of the internal military affairs of the northern army. Leaving for too long is not a long-term solution.

As soon as Song Run left, there was no one in Jingzhao City for Song Yuan to worry about.

On the day they moved into the East Palace, Song Yuan and Mu Wantang entered the palace to pay their respects to Queen Shen and the younger Shen family. However, Queen Shen was ill. She was weak and cold in the middle of summer. She was covered in sweat and said she had no energy, and she looked haggard. This greatly surprised Song Yuan, who had not seen her for several days.

After Song Yuan greeted her for a few words, she fell asleep from exhaustion. Such a poor state was really worrying.

After leaving Jingyang Palace, Song Yuan immediately came to Lechang Palace. As soon as he sat down, he asked: "Concubine, my mother is so seriously ill, why didn't someone tell me? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"I just fell ill last night." Xiao Shen said calmly, "The imperial doctor took a look and said it was caused by panic and worry."

Song Yuan felt that the cause of the disease was a bit strange: "Frightened and worried? Now that the emperor is seriously ill and bedridden, why is the mother so frightened? Where does the worry come from? Is it because she is worried that Wei Ge and the others will not have a good life in the imperial mausoleum?"

Little Shen smiled and said nothing, and Mu Wantang suddenly understood: "Now that the second master has gone to Shanggu, Brother Wei and Brother Ce are both in the imperial mausoleum, and the Queen has no blood relatives around her, no matter what She is close to me, but also feels alienated. She must have heard a lot about my treatment of the royal family these days."

"She's afraid that I'll burn the bridge by crossing the river and deal harsh blows to the second brother and the others?" Song Yuandun felt tired: "The queen mother still doesn't believe me. Those royal family members are just waiting for something to happen to the royal family so that they can profit from it. If I don't end them as soon as possible. , it will only cause trouble for yourself, this truth is not difficult to imagine."

Xiao Shen said: "This truth is indeed very simple, but how can the queen think from your point of view? All she cares about is the interests of her own children and grandchildren. When the second master was in Jingzhao, she could still rest assured. Now the second master Now that I’m gone, it’s reasonable for her to be afraid.”

"I" Song Yuan wanted to defend herself, but she stopped as soon as the words came to her lips. She just nodded and said: "What the mother-in-law reminds me is that I was confused and forgot this. I will issue an order later." , make arrangements for Brother Wei and Ce, and as for the queen mother, Wan Tang should take more care of her."

Mu Wantang agreed and sat in Lechang Palace for a while while Song Yuan went to visit Emperor Hongming.

Emperor Hong Ming had been ill for several months, and the young concubines who had hoped to continue vying for his favor after he recovered were no longer willing to take care of him. Although the palace officials took care of him conscientiously, they were desolate in front of him.

When Song Yuan entered, he was staring blankly at the tent ceiling. His condition was getting worse and he had begun to suffer from dementia.
