"Why are you so sad, my dear? You are going to court today, why don't you wear court clothes?"
Emperor Shun'an Mo was about forty years old, with regular features and a majestic face.
Song Panshan frowned and gnashed his teeth in hatred: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Yesterday, the old minister's house was robbed! Those thieves are really hateful. Not only did they plunder the old minister's house, but they also pretended to be ghosts and ghosts to scare the old minister. The old minister's court clothes! The court clothes!"
His anger was not smooth, as if he would pass away in the next second, "The old minister's court uniform was soaked by the evil thief, and even his court crown was thrown into the doghouse. I am so angry!"
"Those evil thieves not only smashed up my Song family ancestral hall, but also hung my personal clothes on the door plaque. I feel so hateful!"
He beat his chest and legs, and cried bitterly in front of all the civil and military officials. Every word was gnashing his teeth and expressing deep disgust.
I don’t know how pitiful it is.
The other court officials whose homes were stolen:...
It turns out that they are not the only ones who suffer, is there anyone worse than them?
Although it was a bit inappropriate to enjoy the hardships, they were relieved to see that there were people who were worse off than them.
"Your Majesty, although those evil thieves did not humiliate me like they did to Taifu Song, their residence was also robbed. They almost emptied my residence!"
"Your Majesty, I am better off than the Tutor, but all the food and valuables in the house are gone!"
"Your Majesty, the same is true for me!"
I didn't know if I didn't say anything, but I was shocked when I heard that there were so many people.
Song Panshan looked at the dozen colleagues standing behind him and had a heart attack.
We are all in this world, so there is no need for everyone to step on his sore spot!
Emperor Shun'an said in a deep voice: "It's ridiculous! How could someone vacate so many mansions overnight? Do you think I'm being fooled!"
It can be said that the evacuation of one house was deliberate, but dozens of houses were evacuated overnight without any movement. Doesn't it mean that the capital under his governance is full of loopholes?
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Everyone knelt on the ground in fear, "I have no intention of deceiving you!"
"The emperor will send someone to check and find out whether I have lied. Even if you give me ten courages, I will not dare to deceive the emperor!"
Wei Guogong stood up and bowed his head: "Your Majesty, there is indeed news in the city this morning that many shops have been evacuated. I'm afraid those thieves have extraordinary means."
Song Panshan wiped the sweat from his head and said quickly: "The Duke is right. Your Majesty, you must catch these traitors and punish them severely! It doesn't matter if they steal from the old minister. If they steal into the palace one day, then That’s the real sin!”
Emperor Shun'an frowned.
Prince Li Xuanmo said: "The bad behavior of this little thief is really hateful, but the master is too worried. The palace is heavily guarded. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't get in."
Emperor Shun'an's unhappiness caused by what Taifu Song said was dispersed by the prince's words.
He thought for a moment and then assigned: "Commander Wei, I will leave this matter to you to supervise. We must find out the real culprit as soon as possible and capture the culprit!"
"I obey the decree!"
Emperor Shun'an didn't believe that they had emptied so many mansions and shops in one night. He just thought they were exaggerating.
So I didn't take it seriously.
His majestic eyes glanced around: "Do you still have a story to write, dear friends?"
The Censor of Zuodu, wearing a red court uniform, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
"allow!"
"I want to accuse General Lu Feng of colluding with the enemy and treason, colluding with the Western Chu, ruining our seven cities in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and putting the people of our seven cities in dire straits! This crime cannot be forgiven!"
The censor of Zuodu presented the accusation, "This is a letter exchanged between Lu Feng and Western Chu. Vice General Chen personally caught the spy of Western Chu in his camp."
"The five sons of the Lu family escaped from the battle, and four of them were seriously injured and their whereabouts are still unknown. After the incident, Lu Feng committed suicide out of fear of guilt."
"Today, the seven cities of Shuoyang, Anding, and Huainan in the Northern Wei Dynasty have all fallen into the hands of the enemy. The crimes committed by the Zhenguo General's Mansion are heinous. I hope the emperor will make a clear decision!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
At that moment, an old minister knelt down and begged for mercy on behalf of the Zhenguo General's Mansion: "Your Majesty! The Zhenguo General's Mansion's loyalty to the emperor and the country can be seen from the heavens, and he will never do such ridiculous and treasonous things! Please take a closer look, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! During the reign of Emperor Shengwu, the Lu family shed blood on the battlefield and wrapped their bodies in horse leather to repay the emperor's kindness. All the loyal members of the family died and only a few young sons were left in their infancy. During the reign of the late emperor, the Lu family resisted foreign enemies and took the coffins to go to war. In exchange for my five-year-old son of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Ten years of peace, and now the son of the Lu family has resisted the enemy at the age of ten. He is brave and good at fighting, and has killed countless enemy heads. It is absolutely impossible for him to collaborate with the enemy and treason. There must be someone slandering him, and I beg your Majesty to take a closer look!"
The cold wind howled outside the palace and the sky was gloomy. All the civil and military officials in the palace knelt on the ground, all expressing their love for the general's palace.
Emperor Shun'an sat on the dragon chair with a heavy gaze and an unclear expression.
He took the charges handed over by the imperial eunuch, and after reading them, he patted the imperial case and said angrily, "Okay! What a great general who governs the country! Where is Lu Yanqing!"
Yan Qing is Lu Peifeng's nickname.
Emperor Shun'an was so angry that all the officials knelt down.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Song Panshan said: "Back to the emperor, Major General Lu took special leave yesterday to celebrate the wedding ceremony, and did not come to the court this morning."
He wiped the sweat from his head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had the wisdom to ask Ming Yuan to replace Ming Yan in advance.
It seemed that after returning, he had to write a letter to sever ties with Ming Yuan as soon as possible to avoid the Taifu's mansion being implicated.
Song Panshan didn't feel any guilt about Song Mingyuan. If Mrs. Xu hadn't reminded him, he would have never remembered that there was such a person in his house.
Emperor Shun'an ignored the old ministers who knelt down to beg for mercy and said coldly: "Here comes! Xuan Lu Yanqing comes to see you!"
When the eunuch came to the general's mansion following Emperor An's instructions, Mrs. Lu had just gotten up in the morning.
When someone in the palace heard that Lu Peifeng had entered the palace, my heart skipped a beat, and I had a vague feeling of bad premonition.
As a wife of the Lu family, her first reaction was that the border war had started again.
However, the old lady quickly rejected this idea.
Her five sons are outstanding, and each of them can take charge of their own affairs. With them guarding the border, Xiaofeng will not be forced to lead the army on an expedition just after her wedding night.
So what happened? Someone came to the palace to summon him early in the morning?
The old lady quietly winked at Qiuniang who was serving her. Qiuniang understood and took out a heavy-handed purse.
"I wonder why the emperor summoned our young general? Father-in-law, you know that our young general's bridal night has just passed, so he is probably too busy cultivating a relationship with the bride."
In the past, the eunuch would always greet me with a smile, but now he pushed away the purse Qiu Niang handed him.
"The emperor has orders. The ministers in the palace are waiting. Please tell the young general to hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult for our family to explain."
The old lady's heart dropped, but now it was hard to disobey the emperor's order, so she had to temporarily suppress the worries in her heart and called Qiuniang: "Go to Fuqingyuan to call the young general."
Qiuniang said to the eunuch, "Please wait a moment, my father-in-law."
Lu Peifeng had a good idea and the news about Fuqingyuan was not leaked to the outside world, so no one knew that yesterday's bride was someone else.
The two couples who were supposed to have a wedding ceremony did not return home all night.
