To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 225 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou

The Ministry of Punishment was brightly lit, and as soon as You Miao entered, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment immediately greeted him.

"Master You."

Everyone knew that he would definitely come, so You Miao stopped talking and asked, "Where's Li Zhifeng?"

"In the backyard hall, I am drinking with Master Shangshu."

You Miao thought to yourself, you bastard, I am so busy that my eyes are darkened, you are drinking with Lin Luoyang here, and when you see Li Zhifeng, you want to punch him.However, when he turned around the long corridor and saw Li Zhifeng, his nose was sore, his heart was blocked, thousands of words were stuck in his heart, and he couldn't say anything.

Li Zhifeng was dressed in military uniform, still as when he left, sitting in front of the stone table in the garden of the backyard of the Ministry of Justice, with one hand on his knees and the other holding a wine glass, and when he heard footsteps, he said, "He's here, I'm leaving."

Lin Luoyang got up to see him off, You Miao's eyes were red, and she didn't avoid people, she rushed forward and threw herself into Li Zhifeng's arms.

Under the moonlight, You Miao and Li Zhifeng hugged each other tightly, neither of them said a word, as if that hug had already expressed their feelings for each other.

Standing beside Lin Luoyang was very awkward. It's not good to say something, and it's not good to say nothing.

You Miao buried her head in front of Li Zhifeng's shoulder for a long time, finally Fang took a trembling breath, threw the handwritten letter to Lin Luoyang, and said, "I will take you away."

Lin Luoyang nodded and said, "Wait for the general."

Li Zhifeng nodded, and came out hand in hand with You Miao, You Miao couldn't help but took his big hand again, and smelled it, it was the familiar skin smell.My beloved stopped the expedition. After more than a year, he finally came home now.Just outside the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Li Zhifeng embraced You Miao again, hugged him tightly, and said, "I miss you to death."

You Miao rubbed him crazily, took off his helmet and threw it aside, kissed his neck, rubbed his face against his neck, Li Zhifeng smelled of sweat, but that feeling made You Miao extremely comfortable and safe.

Li Zhifeng said: "Go see the third child first, I have something to ask him."

"There's nothing to ask." You Miao said coldly, "I've completely given up on him."

Li Zhifeng smiled lightly and said, "Are you angry with him?"

It was only then that You Miao thought about the cause and effect, but after finally waiting for Li Zhifeng to come back, he didn't want to say anything else, at least put it aside for a few days, and then said: "Don't talk about state affairs, let's go home and live first, I really don't want to talk about this mess again for a moment." Cleaned up for him... um..."

When he was talking, Li Zhifeng kissed again, entangled with You Miao's fiery lips and tongue, You Miao was kissed so much that he wished he could take off Li Zhifeng's armor on the street and come with him just once.But just as he was in a hurry to go back, a carriage stopped at the gate of the Criminal Department.

Inside opened the curtain, but it was Zhao Chao's voice.

"Get in the car." Zhao Chao said.

Li Zhifeng said: "I have something to ask you."

Zhao Chao said impatiently: "I will give you an explanation, come up first and then talk about it."

You Miao sighed, didn't expect Zhao Chao to pursue him so closely, but since he agreed to let Li Zhifeng out, and agreed to resign himself, nothing else would change, so he had to get in the car with Li Zhifeng temporarily.

In the car, You Miao said, "What can I say?"

Zhao Chao said in a low voice: "Let you see something, and you will know when it arrives."

You Miao suddenly became alert, Zhao Chao came to look for him at this time, what could be a big deal?Could it be to trick them into a prison?But probably not, if you want to harm yourself, there is no need to wait until Li Zhifeng arrives before you do it, just now in the imperial garden, you must have caught You Miao first.

Li Zhifeng looked at You Miao with questioning eyes, and You Miao shook his head not easily, telling Li Zhifeng not to act rashly.

Zhao Chao's car took them into the palace.

After getting off the car, Zhao Chao went into the mourning hall and ordered outside: "Watch it, no one is allowed in."

You Miao and Li Zhifeng went in, and at that moment, You Miao's heart jumped violently.

Zhao Chao's tone was as calm as a dead man, and he whispered to Li Zhifeng: "Second brother, do me a favor, open the coffin..."

The lights in the mourning hall were dim, and the shadows of the three people were reflected behind the gauze curtain.A strange wind rushed through, and You Miao's back was covered in cold sweat.

The first coffin was pushed open, and inside was the Supreme Emperor Zhao Min.Zhao Min stayed in the north for many years, and he was withered and out of shape, with scars all over his hands, a night pearl in his mouth, and a jade on his forehead.Zhao Min seemed to have coughed violently once before he died, probably due to asthma, and those who could not catch their breath before death would turn black and blue, with a terrifying appearance.

What does Zhao Chao want to prove?You Miao's heart pounded, Zhao Chao wanted to prove that he didn't kill his father?Judging from this appearance, Zhao Min really died of illness.

The lid of the second coffin was pushed open, and the prince's body was covered with a white cloth, revealing the bruised ankles, which were swollen and had tooth marks bitten by snakes.You Miao could tell that the ankle was broken once, obviously tortured by the Tatars.But this can't explain anything, it can only be said that the prince was bitten by a snake before his death.However, murder cannot be ruled out.

"Okay." You Miao backed down and said, "I believe it was not arranged by you."

"That's not what I'm going to say." Zhao Chao said in a deep voice, and then lifted the white cloth to reveal the prince's face.

You Miao was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Chao asked Li Zhifeng: "You picked it up, are you sure it's this person?"

Li Zhifeng frowned slightly and nodded.

You Miao was completely dumbfounded, the prince was dropped!This is not the prince!

Although his face was full of wind and frost, his face was convulsed and distorted due to snake venom before his death, and his eyes were even opened, but the eyebrows, face, skin color, and facial features were not the prince!Who dropped the prince? !

Next, You Miao thought of another more terrifying question - where did the real prince go? !

"No way." You Miao said, "How could this happen?"

Li Zhifeng asked in surprise, "What's the problem?"

Zhao Chao closed the lid of the coffin and said, "This man is not my brother. Are you sure the Tatars handed it over to them? Think carefully, since when have you seen him?"

Li Zhifeng said: "Your letter told me not to ask about this matter. It was all arranged by Xie Quan. When I was in the Tatar army camp, I had never seen any of them."

"Xie Quan said, it was my father who brought my brother here in a carriage." Zhao Chao said, "Did they meet each other along the way?"

"Why haven't we met?" Li Zhifeng said, "They are together every day, in the same carriage."

You Miao was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly said: "Wait, this is too..."

The three of them stood in the mourning hall in silence.

In just a short moment, You Miao thought of the inside story, and couldn't help feeling chills in her heart.

You Miao: "This is arranged by your father."

Zhao Chao nodded and said: "I also suspected at first that the Tatars detained my brother and sent an unimportant person to pretend to be the prince. But it is easy to find out, as soon as he comes back, he will be exposed. Will do such boring things. The second brother also said, since my father and this impostor stay in the carriage every day, then they must have discussed it."

You Miao took a deep breath and said, "Yes, he...has expected everything."

Zhao Chao said dejectedly: "I have calculated everything, but in the end it was a bad move. Maybe it was destined somewhere. Li Zhifeng has never seen my brother, so he can't recognize him. Xie Quan has never seen him either. Send the two of them to Picking up people is the biggest problem. It would be much easier if you or Li Yan went in person."

You Miao shook her head and said: "Not necessarily, since your father wants to hide it from you, he must have made careful arrangements, or let the prince pretend to be sick and hide from others, so that everyone can be deceived."

Zhao Chaodao: "On the way back, they were really pretending to be sick and told the whole army that they had a cold. I won't hide it from you, it was indeed Li Yan who ordered Xie Quan to do it. Xie Quan is now in prison for the crime of ineffective supervision."

"Who else knows about this?" You Miao asked.

Zhao Chao said: "You, me, second brother, Li Yan."

You Miao understood, no wonder the crown prince was covered with a white cloth when the coffin was opened, Li Yanxian had already figured out that the officials would request an autopsy, so he made a move first.

"It won't be Li Yan's bag." You Miao said, "The time is not right."

"Firstly, the time is wrong, and secondly, it is unnecessary." Zhao Chao said, "I don't even believe Li Yan, I asked Xie Quan to do it."

"You asked him to put the poisonous snake into the carriage?" Li Zhifeng asked.

Zhao Chao nodded.

Li Zhifeng said again: "Where is your father?"

Zhao Chao said: "Xie Quan's hand strangled him to death. Before he died, he was very calm, knowing that he would die."

Li Zhifeng looked at Zhao Chao with a complicated expression.

"You are not a good person." Li Zhifeng said.

"Yes." Zhao Chao nodded and said: "You all think that I have committed a heinous crime, which is beyond the tolerance of heaven. But have you ever thought that if these things go wrong, who will be the worst result?!"

Zhao Chao gasped for breath and said, "All of you, including You Miao, want to protect me. I know that, but you all want to be considerate. How can you be considerate in everything? Can you guarantee that after my brother becomes Zen, he will not What will happen to me?"

With a crisp sound, You Miao slapped Zhao Chao mercilessly.

"So?!" You Miao said: "Since everything can't be done comprehensively, you have to cut the grass and root out, so as to never cause future troubles? You even don't hesitate to attack your own father and brother?! In the future, if you are sitting on the throne, if you doubt who is bad for you, is it right?" Don’t you want to kill the nine clans first, so as not to cause any changes?! Where did all your courage go?!”

"Everything in the world can't be thoughtful." You Miao said coldly: "This is true, but if it is not thoughtful, there will be an incomplete response. When Brother Nie led the army to fight, which time was it thoughtful? I went out to fight for you, which time? Is it comprehensive? If you don’t want to take risks, how can you achieve great achievements and stabilize the country?! You have to wait until Zhouquan to do everything, your court, your country, you don’t know what it’s like!”

"A brave person can bear the responsibility, and this responsibility also includes all the consequences and changes. Only cowards are afraid of everything, trembling, and dare not face the danger. When you led the army to go to Korea, you still have courage. Now that you have been emperor for several years, you are always afraid that someone will covet your throne, and you don't even know where to throw that little courage."

You Miao trembled with anger and looked at Zhao Chao.

"Yes." Zhao Chao nodded and said, "I'm indeed a coward. I'm afraid. I always feel that I don't feel at ease. My name as the emperor is not justified. I'm afraid that someone will kill me and overthrow me at any time... that's all."
