Whether it was the earlier expulsion of the scholar surnamed Zhang from the Jingzhao government office, or coming here to kill a few troublemakers and draw blood, it was all ordered by the Jingzhao Yin.
As long as Jingzhao Yin is fine, they will definitely be fine too.
Even the old emperor doesn't dare to touch the aristocratic families casually, so the Yu family has walked into the trap!
Several yamen runners exchanged glances secretly. At this moment, Chu Yi's voice, which sounded a bit cold in the cold wind, came from the front: "Where is Jingzhao Yin?"
Jingzhao Yin frowned, walked towards Chu Yi under everyone's scorching gazes, bowed his head and said, "I am here."
His head and eyebrows were covered with white snow, and he looked as if he had suddenly aged several years.
Chu Yi's eyes swept over Jingzhao Yin calmly, without interrogating or reprimanding him, and he made a direct decision: "Jingzhao Yin Feng He neglected his duties, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and exploited the people. He is dismissed and awaiting trial by the three courts."
What? Jingzhao Yin raised his head in shock and looked directly into Chu Yi's eyes.
How dare the eldest prince do this? Is he going to offend all the noble families? ! He hasn't even become the crown prince yet!
Jingzhao Yin's eyes bulged slightly.
Several imperial guards immediately followed the order and surrounded Jingzhao Yin. One of them said coldly, "Sir Feng, I'm sorry."
As they were speaking, two imperial guards forcefully grabbed the Jingzhao Yin and attempted to remove his official hat and uniform.
“Why?!” Jingzhao Yin was furious. He tried to break free from the two imperial guards and strode towards Chu Yi. “Without any evidence, why do you want to take away my position?”
For the Jingzhao Yin, taking off clothes in public was a greater humiliation than being slapped.
Their aristocratic family would rather break than bend. If he allows the eldest prince to humiliate him like this today, how can he gain a foothold in the aristocratic family in the future!
Chu Yi stood up and walked towards Jingzhao Yin, patted his shoulder, and said in a gentle and open voice: "Jingzhao Yin is the parent official of the capital, and he should care about the people."
"The people have grievances and have sounded the drum of complaint in Jingzhao Prefecture, but Lord Feng, as the Jingzhao Yin, has ignored them. Is he deceived or neglecting his duties? I must give the people a clear explanation to reassure them."
"After the three judges hold a joint trial, if Lord Feng is wronged, I will apologize to you in public and clear your name."
Chu Yi's words were so righteous that the people around him felt very comforted and felt that the eldest prince was so gentle, elegant, and fair.
The people were deeply touched and began to praise the eldest prince among themselves, with endless words of praise.
"You can always find a pretext to accuse someone of something!"
A sharp voice came from the front of Jingzhao Yin, and the people couldn't help but frown, and their eyes turned towards Chu Yi and Jingzhao Yin.
The Jingzhao Yin was furious; the eldest prince was gentle and polite.
From afar, the people saw the eldest prince's lips move slightly, as if he said something again, but the wind and snow were so strong that they couldn't hear anything clearly.
If you can't hear it clearly, then just don't hear it clearly.
Most of the people didn't care at all. They thought that the eldest prince had such a good temper, noble status, and was so humble to his subjects. He was truly a god-like figure!
As the people were sighing, they saw Jingzhao Yin suddenly push the eldest prince with a ferocious look on his face.
The eldest prince's face changed, and he stepped back several steps, stroking his left shoulder. The blinding blood flowed out from between his five fingers, which was particularly dazzling on his frosty white clothes...
With a "click", a bloody dagger fell to the ground.
There was a sudden dead silence all around. The people present were all shocked, dumbfounded and forgot to speak, a little dazed.
The cold wind suddenly became more fierce, roaring like a tiger in everyone's ears.
"Protect the emperor!"
A red shadow flashed by, and a young man in red clothes with a stern expression appeared in front of Jingzhao Yin. He shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed at the same time.
A cold sword light split the snowflakes in the sky.
He swung the cold sword in his hand towards Jingzhao Yin's neck without hesitation, with murderous intent...
"No, I..." Jingzhao Yin opened his mouth to argue, his face pale.
I don't.
But he couldn't say the rest of the words. The cold sword was aimed at Jingzhao Yin's neck and swung down heavily...
One sword kills the soul.
The head of Jingzhao Yin had already fallen to the ground, and bright red blood suddenly gushed out from the broken neck, splashing on the young man's crimson official robe.
Blood dripped from the blade, dyeing the white snow below red.
Jingzhao Yin's head rolled on the ground...
Chu Yi lowered his eyes and coughed twice, as if he couldn't bear it.
After a while, he raised his head and said loudly to the people around him: "Jingzhao Yin Feng He assassinated in public, which is suspected of treason."
"Order the Imperial Guards to seal off the Feng family in the capital and investigate thoroughly."
The people watched an assassination in public and saw with their own eyes the beheading of Jingzhao Yin. The scene was so bloody that many people were frightened out of their wits and screams of surprise rang out one after another.
Although they were frightened, no one present sympathized with the Jingzhao Yin.
This Jingzhao Yin is truly guilty of a thousand deaths. Instead of standing up for the common people, he even wanted to assassinate the Crown Prince who is wholeheartedly working for the people. He deserves to die.
Compared with Jingzhao Yin, the people are more worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The scholar Zhang Min in front of him stammered, "Your Highness, what do you think? Should we summon the imperial physician immediately?"
Chu Yi covered the wound on his left shoulder, pursed his thin lips, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "It's okay."
Then, he instructed the young man in red robe holding the sword, "Gu Yuan, it is snowing hard today, let the people disperse first."
"Today's snowstorm came suddenly. I'm afraid some people will get frostbite or frostbite. I'm ordering the Imperial Hospital to provide medical treatment and medicine in the capital."
When the people heard this, they were all deeply moved and knelt down in unison to thank the eldest prince for his kindness.
Amidst a thunderous roar, the injured Chu Yi left with the help of several imperial guards.
Gu Yuan didn't leave in a hurry. He bent down and picked up the blood-stained dagger on the ground himself, looking at Chu Yi's back with complicated eyes.
The young man's white clothes were as white as snow, spotless.
Gu Yuan retracted his gaze, looked at the dagger in his hand, and pursed his thin lips into a straight line.
He had not been with Chu Yi for a long time, but it was enough for him to understand that Chu Yi was not a perfect white paper.
Their eldest prince is very scheming, has a dark heart, and has a complicated mind.
As a subject, he thought that the eldest prince was doing this well.
Those aristocratic families were all arrogant and domineering, and they thought highly of themselves. Just like the Jingzhao Yin Feng He, he relied on his aristocratic family background to control the capital, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and concealed the emperor's eyes and ears.
The capital city is under the feet of the emperor. If it cannot be controlled by the emperor, it will be a huge disaster. What happened today is the best warning.
If my sister hadn't gotten involved today and the eldest prince hadn't cut the Gordian knot, the consequences would have been disastrous.
However, as...
Gu Yuan's thick eyelashes trembled, and a few snowflakes fell on his eyelashes. He felt complicated and a little sad in his heart: his sister is still young.
As Gu Yuan thought about it, he strode in the direction Chu Yi left.
This thrilling case was finally settled, and the people in the Chengtian Gate area gradually dispersed, leaving with concern for the eldest prince and gratitude to the emperor and his son.
Tung oil umbrellas were then scattered.
After a stick of incense, the tranquility in front of the palace gradually returned to its former state.
It was snowing heavily and the cold wind was howling like a galloping horse. The whole capital was covered in white.
In just half an hour, several stalls offering free medical consultations and medicine were set up in the capital. They were all run by imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau and doctors hired by the eldest prince. People from the palace also set up more than a dozen stalls selling porridge in the streets.
Hearing the noise, common people and beggars came and formed long winding queues. The hot porridge and ginger tea made this sudden snowstorm not so cold anymore.
The roaring blizzard blew all night long and only stopped early the next morning.
When Gu Yanfei got up early in the morning, the snow in the courtyard had already accumulated very thickly. At a glance, it looked like a vast expanse of white, as if covered in silver.
The room was filled with the aroma of steaming food as Gu Yanfei leisurely ate his breakfast.
While serving her daughter a meal, Juanbi said happily, "My daughter, we have found the grandson of Mrs. Wu."
"Today, she was so excited that she said she wanted to set up a longevity tablet for the emperor, and she also wanted to go to the temple to pray for the emperor, asking the Bodhisattva to bless the emperor with happiness, longevity and good health."
"She also said that she would never go to Wuliang Temple again, saying that since Shangqing, a bad apple, had appeared in Wuliang Temple, the whole pot of porridge had already gone rotten."
“…”
Juanbi talked about whatever he was thinking about, and his eyes could not help but drift through the window to the courtyard, thinking about the calico cat that had disappeared for two nights.
Gu Yanfei just treated it as idle talk.
She had a good appetite and ate a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, a bowl of bird's nest wontons and a basket of steamed dumplings with relish. Finally, she picked up a piece of osmanthus millet cake.
Juanbi quickly poured Gu Yanfei a cup of hot digestive tea and said, "Miss, after you went to bed yesterday, the Marquis's wife sent three groups of people to call you, but I sent them all away."
Yesterday, Gu Yanfei used up almost all of his accumulated spiritual energy in order to break the Yu family's formation, and fell asleep as soon as he got home.
I slept for six or seven hours and didn't wake up until 9:00 this morning.
After breakfast and lunch, Gu Yanfei felt sleepy again. He lazily leaned back on the beauty couch. His eyelids felt heavy and his head was dizzy.
She always felt like she had forgotten something, but she was so confused that she couldn't remember it at all.
Since I can't remember it, then it doesn't matter.
Gu Yanfei didn't bother about it. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.
At noon, she woke up again, found a strange novel, flipped through the book, ate some snacks and drank some wine.
As she was flipping through the book, she felt tired of turning the pages, so she simply asked Juanbi to read to her.
As she listened, she felt sleepy again, and before she knew it, she fell asleep again, unconscious.
It was not until the afternoon, close to the Shen time, that Gu Yanfei sat up from the beauty bed, holding a thin quilt, and let out a low cry with a strange expression on his face.
Ah! Her cat hasn't come back yet! Hmm. Gu Yanfei yawned lazily again, thinking: Qingguang always knows how to have fun, and now he must be enjoying himself more than the emperor, let him play for a few more days.
The door curtain was lifted from the outside, and Juanbi came in excitedly, reporting with great joy: "Miss, the eldest prince is here to ask to see you. Oh, by the way, the eldest young master is here with the eldest prince as well."
