"Get in, hurry up." Two imperial guards pushed Zheng Pengjin into a makeshift cell at the Xize Polo Stadium in the East Inner Garden.

Anyone who commits a crime will be sent here.

When urging Zheng Peng to enter the door, a royal guard pushed Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng was unhappy on the spot, turned his head and shouted: "What are you pushing, you are in a hurry to be reincarnated." ”

was framed by someone, Zheng Peng was in a bad mood, so of course he launched a storm.

Others are afraid of the imperial guards, but Zheng Peng is not afraid of him at all.

The imperial guard was taken aback by Zheng Peng's drink, and subconsciously took a step back, Zhao Lingjie on the side had a cold face, and said with a cold face: "General Zheng, this is not your camp, don't think about playing prestige here." ”

Zheng Peng turned around, looked Zhao Lingjie up and down, and said lightly: "Commander Zhao, I don't know what enmity I have with you, and I don't know if you are entrusted by anyone, to tell you, whether I am guilty or not has not yet been decided, as for you, dereliction of duty or leaving your post without permission will definitely not be able to run, think about the way back." ”

What kind of imperial guards, they can't even guard it, and they are also guilty of being investigated.

Zhao Lingjie had already thought of this, and said expressionlessly: "Something, you don't need General Zheng to remember it, you still think about how to keep the head on your neck." ”

The two looked at each other, then one turned and walked through the cell, the other turned away.

Things have developed to this point, and it is no longer possible for the two of them to control it, so they can only wait for it to change.

At the time of Zheng Peng's detention, the Mandarin Duck Soup Pond incident had spread and fermented in Chang'an through various channels:

"Big brother, big brother, I'm back." As soon as he returned to the camp, Huang Baofeng immediately found Liu Lijie and said with a sad face.

Liu Lijie was taken aback by Huang Baofeng's bloody look, but soon said excitedly: "Is it done?" What's the matter with the wound on the face, the fight started? ”

I secretly thought in my heart: It is best for Zheng Peng to resist stubbornly, and directly be corrected on the spot by Zhao Lingjie, the commander of the imperial guards, so that there will be no worries.

"There was no fight, it was Zheng Peng and his guards who fought."

"So crazy? What about Zhao Lingjie, he didn't stop it? ”

Huang Baofeng said with a wry smile: "When the Ah army in front of me beat me, I stopped it, and then the surname Zheng attacked again, but Commander Zhao seems to have been bluffed by Zheng Peng, big brother, do you say Commander Zhao is reliable?" ”

"It's not reliable, it's just a favor" Liu Lijie said: "It's good that he can arrest Zheng Peng, and the rest depends on us, and it depends on the emperor's reaction." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Lijie said with some excitement: "This Lin Shijia is the most favored woman of the current emperor, a man, and he cares about this aspect, not to mention the emperor, when he encounters this kind of thing, he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than miss one, surnamed Zheng, luck has come to an end." ”

"That is, this matter is spreading, where to put the emperor's face, his subordinates are here to congratulate the eldest brother first, no, it should be called Liu Qianqi." Huang Baofeng said flatteringly.

"Hahaha, don't worry, if you go up, you must be in the position of a hundred horses, remember, you must bite it when the time comes, and there must be no loosening."

Huang Baofeng's face was straight, and he said with a serious face: "Don't worry, big brother, even if you are killed, you can't say anything about it." ”

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and once this thing is done, there is no way back.

The two smiled at each other, and there was a look of hope in each other's eyes.

In Cui's mansion, Cui Yuan, who was on duty, couldn't rest yet, he checked the secret reports sent from all over the country in his study, and prepared to send them to Li Longji after summarizing, which was the job that the bad general should do.

"Lang Jun, it's not good, it's not good." Butler Ren'an's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

As soon as the words fell, the closed door of the study was slammed open, and Ren An was seen panting in front of the bookcase.

"Didn't I tell you to be calm in everything, the sky won't fall yet." Cui Yuan couldn't help but reprimand.

As a confidant, Ren An is one of the few people who can enter the study freely, however, Cui Yuan dislikes his subordinates to be so flustered.

It's unseemly.

On weekdays, Ren'an would definitely explain and apologize, but today he didn't care about this, and said anxiously: "Lang Jun, it's not good, my uncle has an accident." ”

"Uncle? Which uncle? Cui Yuan felt uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly put down the secret document in his hand and asked.

"Aunt Sun Zheng Peng, something happened."

"What?" Cui Yuan stood up abruptly and asked anxiously, "Something's wrong?" What's going on, the other person is okay, right? Say it. ”

The action was too violent, and he didn't realize that he overturned the inkstone on the case.

I used to look at Zheng Peng unpleasantly, that was before, after Lu Shu married Zheng Peng, Cui Yuan already regarded Zheng Peng as a member of the family, and faintly put the hope of Boling Sanfang on Zheng Peng, and when he heard that he had an accident, he didn't control his emotions on the spot.

Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Zheng Peng has been too good recently, and it is not easy to say that he is jealous.

Don't let anything happen.

Ren An didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told Zheng Peng about the Mandarin Duck Soup Pool, and then said nervously: "Aunt Sun was detained by the imperial guards in the cell of the East Inner Garden Polo Field, Lang Jun, quickly come up with an idea." ”

"Don't worry, it's too worry-free" Cui Yuan patted the desk and scolded: "Mandarin duck soup pool, is that what he can go?" Forbidden land, where should it not have been, and peeking at Lin Shijia, that is the most favored person recently, alas. ”

After speaking, Cui Yuan paced around in the study, his mind kept spinning, thinking about how to solve this matter.

Ren An whispered: "Lang Jun, don't you know the commander of the imperial guard, can you let him come forward in this matter, and turn the big thing into a small thing, and turn it into a small thing?" ”

Cui Yuan waved his hand and said: "This matter is not so simple, no matter how stupid Zheng Peng is, he will not be stupid enough to trespass on the forbidden land, there must be something strange in it, and who is making a hindrance from it?" ”

Cui Yuan still understands Zheng Peng's character, except for being in the limelight and liking not to do business, everything else is very good, especially in terms of women, he is very restrained, and he will not risk his life to peek at a beautiful woman taking a bath.

"Lang Jun, what are we going to do now, can't we wait here, right? Will my uncle be in danger? Ringan said anxiously.

Cui Yuan thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say, but everything that involves the royal family, whether it is big or small, big or small, is all in the emperor's thoughts, of course, it is not a way to wait, let people investigate secretly, and they must not startle the snake, alas, how could they encounter this matter." ”

Lin Shijia is the new ten families of Yichun People's Hospital, can sing and dance and will be considerate, Li Longji is very fond of her, and made an exception to arrange a single courtyard with a garden for her in Yichun Courtyard, and knew her status from sending the imperial guards to escort her to the Mandarin Duck Soup Pool to bathe.

If you don't get it right, Long Yan will be angry, and the head will fall to the ground.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, who knows when the tiger will devour people?

"Lang Jun, the little one has something important to report." The voice of a confidant came from outside the door.

"Enter!" Cui Yuan said simply and directly.

His subordinates all know their tempers, and when they are in the study, they can't be disturbed if there is no urgent matter, and once they report it, something big must have happened.

After Huai'an came in, he made a simple salute and hurriedly said: "Lang Jun, it's not good, now there is a rumor in the military camp and the market that is not good for my uncle, the situation is urgent, and I ask Lang Jun to decide." ”

"What rumors? Say! ”

"Hui Langjun's words, there is a rumor on the market, it is about my uncle, they say that my uncle is suave, and after playing with the Oiran of Pingkangfang, he ran to the palace to steal jade and incense, and peeked at the emperor's new favorite Lin Shijia bathing and changing clothes, I didn't expect to be caught or something, and it was rumored to have a nose and eyes, if I don't stop it, I'm afraid..."

Cui Yuan and Ren An glanced at each other, and there was a look of horror in each other's eyes: the speed of transmission was too fast, and Cui Yuan, who was well-informed, had just received the news, but it had already spread outside.

Obviously, someone is building momentum behind the scenes and wants to put Zheng Peng to death.

Peeking at the emperor's woman, this matter has spread to the people, forming a kind of public opinion, and slapping Li Longji in disguise, if it is not handled well, Li Longji will become the laughing stock of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, so that for the majesty of the emperor and the honor of the royal family, it is very likely to take Zheng Peng.

You don't need a knife to kill.

"Lang Jun, what should I do, if I don't send someone to suppress it." Ringan asked cautiously.

Cui Yuan put his hands behind his back, turned around the study twice, and finally gritted his teeth: "No, we don't do anything, it's the biggest help to Zheng Peng, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, just wait." ”

If not many people know, this matter can still be operated, now that the city is full of turmoil, Cui Yuan has to avoid suspicion, so as not to tell the truth, it is estimated that the person who put Zheng Peng to death behind him must be paying close attention to himself, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is better to be quiet than to move.

The most important point is that Cui Yuan doesn't do anything, which is equivalent to a sign of trust in Zheng Peng, and Li Longji also knows this.

"Yes, Lang Jun."

In Xingqing Palace, Li Longji is like his younger brother Li Ye drinking and chatting.

This is Li Longji's habit, after taking the throne, he was afraid of snubbing his brothers, so he often took time to eat, chat, and play with his brothers, which was an important way for him to maintain his brotherhood.

Li Longji has always cherished the brothers who have gone through hardships together.

The two brothers talked and talked, talking about the past as princes, they couldn't even afford to eat meat, and once they couldn't afford to pay for the festival, they used their clothes as a matter of buying meat, and their eyes were a little moist.

Just as Li Longji and his younger brother Li Ye were thinking bittersweetly, Gao Lishi hurriedly ran over and shouted as he ran:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened, hey, King Qi is also here, the old slave is here to see the prince."

Li Ye saw Gao Lishi and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Gao Gonggong, there are no outsiders here, you don't have to be polite, get up." ”

"Look at you running with a sweaty face, didn't you watch the twists and turns for me, ran here, what happened?" Li Longji asked.

Gao Lishi looked at King Qi and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, this ....."

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "The emperor's brother is not an outsider, so it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty" Gao Lishi replied, and then said cautiously: "Zheng Peng has an accident." ”

"Zheng Peng? What happened to him? Are people alright? Li Longji was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

Now Li Longji regards Zheng Peng as his lucky star, for fear that Zheng Peng will be involved in the struggle for power and position, so he directly put Zheng Peng into Wanqi and protected him in disguise, and was shocked on the spot when he heard that Zheng Peng had an accident.

"People are fine, it's just...."

"Say it quickly, say whatever you want." Li Longji said impatiently.

Gao Lishi wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "The imperial guard Zhao Lingjie came to report that Zheng Peng entered the forbidden place of the Mandarin Duck Soup Pool without authorization and peeked at Lin Shijia's bathing and changing clothes, and now he has been detained in the cell of the East Inner Garden Polo Field, waiting for His Majesty's fate. ”

"Bastard!" Li Longji slammed the table and said scoldingly: "Relying on me to treat him well, is it lawless?" ”

When Li Ye heard this, the whole person was a little stupid, came back to his senses, and said with some disbelief: "Gonggong Gao, is there any misunderstanding in it, this king knows, General Zheng can be a stable person, and he will not make such low-level mistakes, right?" ”

Zheng Peng is a newly promoted loyal and brave general, and he is also a lieutenant general of the right ten thousand cavalry and an envoy of a thousand cavalry, which can be said to be the subordinate of Li Ye, the general of Yulin, and heard his subordinates running to peek at the emperor's favored woman bathing and changing clothes, Li Ye was also embarrassed when he heard it.

Gao Lishi nodded, and immediately took over the conversation: "Yes, although Zheng Peng is said to be romantic, his reputation has always been very good, and he has never had a conflict between men and women. ”

"Slow" Li Longji, who had a calm face just now, frowned and said: "Lux, what are you talking about, the soldiers in the camp and the people of Chang'an also know about this?" ”

Wouldn't it, as the emperor, only know about this matter yourself, and the people outside know about it?

Gao Lishi responded: "Yes, this thing is strange, according to Zhao Lingjie, after he detained Zheng Peng, he didn't believe that Zheng Peng would do such a thing, so he went back to investigate, and asked the accompanying palace maid, and only reported the news after confirmation. ”

"How is it possible" Li Ye, the king of Qi, frowned and said: "It shouldn't be, the Mandarin Duck Soup Pond is in the forbidden garden, outsiders can't approach it at all, if the soldiers in the camp know, they can barely say it, even the people of Chang'an know it, I'm afraid this matter is not simple." ”

Gao Lishi didn't answer, and secretly glanced at Li Longji, who was contemplating, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Zheng Peng is a person admired by Gao Lishi, and he is also a partner, no matter what, he has to pull Zheng Peng, the most afraid is that Li Longji was furious, he didn't even think about it, and directly ordered Zheng Peng to be killed.

I was going to explain it myself, but I didn't expect Li Yeshen, the king of Qi, to cooperate, and seeing that Li Longji did not go berserk, but was thinking about the problem, Gao Lishi knew that Zheng Peng had avoided a catastrophe.

Although temporarily.

Li Longji opened his mouth and said, "Where is Xuan'er? ”

Xuan'er is Lin Shijia's Lin Xuan'er, Gao Lishi immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lin Shijia has been frightened a little and has been escorted back to Yichun Courtyard. ”

Li Longji turned his head and said to Li Ye: "Brother Huang, you are the general of Yulin, and Zheng Peng is your subordinate, so this matter will be handled by you." ”

"Brother obeys." Li Yeleng paused, and could only accept the order with a wry smile.
