Chapter 124 Kneeling in the Temple

The sky was slightly dark, and a carriage came out of Tianbo Mansion and drove slowly towards the palace.

In the carriage, Mrs. She held Mu Guiying's hand. Both of their hands were a little cold, but there was still sweat in the palms of their hands. Looking at the eyes of the two, there is a trace of obvious sadness.

Huang Fengxian just gave birth to a son, dispelling some dark clouds covering Tianbo Mansion. Kou An, Kou's adopted son, knocked on the door of Yang's house and brought a very bad news. Emperor Zhao Heng was very dissatisfied with the Yang family, and Ding Yu and Qian Weiyan had the intention to condemn the Yang family.

When the courtiers failed to discuss the military situation and took a break, Kou Zhun secretly sent Kou An to Yangfu to report the news, asking Mrs. She to find a way to get rid of this crisis as soon as possible. And he and the Eighth Prince will try their best to eliminate the anger in Zhao Heng's heart and excuse the Yang family.

For a while, Mrs. She couldn't sit still and walked around the room in front of Yang's daughter-in-law. The idea of informing Yang Liulang to come back suddenly flashed in Mrs. She's heart and was fiercely dispersed by her. At this time, Yang Liulang was in an important position, and it was impossible for him to come back casually. If he really comes back, Zhao Heng will definitely be more angry. But Yang Zongbao was indeed defeated, and Zhao Heng had a good reason to condemn the Yang family. How to get out of this crisis? Mrs. She is a little anxious.

Seeing that Mrs. She had no clue, Aunt Yang and others looked at Mu Guiying in a daze. In their hearts, the daughters-in-law of the Yang family are only suitable for fighting on the battlefield, but there is nothing they can do about the current situation. Mu Guiying has been a very resourceful figure since she appeared in front of the Yang family. They also believe that after a hundred years of old She, Mu Guiying must be the second old She, or even better.

Mu Guiying, who was guessing that Yang Zongbao's injury was not serious, was gently pulled down by the sleeve by the Chai princess beside him before she recovered. Since knowing the news of Yang Zongbao's defeat, Mu Guiying has not had time to stay quiet for a while. I thought that the son born by Huang Fengxian could attract the ideas of everyone in the house so that they could calm down. But the news of Anlai made Mu Guiying more worried about Yang Zongbao.

However, when he found the eyes of the elders, Mu Guicai immediately understood that he had to get through the crisis in front of him anyway. Thinking of this, Mu Guiying whispered, "Grandma, why don't Guiying accompany you to the palace to plead guilty? It's not a way for us to guess like this in the house. It's better to know the situation in the North and China before making plans.

"It makes sense." Mrs. She nodded and asked people to prepare the carriage. She and Mu Guiying went to change their clothes separately before leaving the house.

Along the way, Mrs. She and Mu Guiying were a little nervous. Because, just as the two left the house, Princess Chai suddenly mentioned Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei intentionally or unintentionally. This made the hearts of Mrs. She and Mu Guiying suddenly feel a little clear. No wonder Zhao Heng is so angry. I'm afraid there is another reason. If so, it is hard to say whether the Yang family can escape this disaster.

When the carriage arrived at the gate, Mrs. She and Mu Guiying got out of the carriage and waited for the doorkeeper to report. Anyway, Mrs. She and Mu Guiying took the initiative to come to the palace. First, they had to ask the owner if they would not let them in. However, since she is not allowed to enter, Mrs. She also plans to meet Zhao Heng. She has the 'long tou abduction' given by Emperor Taizong in her hand, and ordinary people really can't stop Mrs. She.

When Mrs. She was considering whether to forcibly enter the palace, a eunuch ran over quickly. He first saluted Mrs. She and Mu Guiying before leading the way, ready to take them to the Zichen Hall. At this time, all the courtiers gathered in the hall to discuss the military situation. Zhao Heng originally didn't want to see Mrs. She, but Kou Zhun, the Eighth Prince and other courtiers were staring at him. For the sake of his reign, Zhao Heng had to Xuan She Laojun and Mu Guiying into the hall.

However, just as Mrs. She and Mu Guiying were walking towards the Zichen Hall, the eyes of the Privy Councillor Ding were spinning around. There was not much time, but Ding Yu looked back at Qian Weiyan, and the two seemed to have some tacit intentions. This made Liu Mei, the minister of the Ministry of War, who saw these, slightly change her face, and then lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

And when Kou Zhun on the other side looked back to exchange eyes with the Eighth Prince, he also saw this scene and couldn't help sighing in his heart. He also heard about Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei beat Ding Pu in the tiles of the Sang family. Zhao Heng was also present at that time, and I don't know why he calmed down the matter. But Kou Zhun knows Ding's character very well, and he is a villain who must be reported.

Ding said that he had secretly hated Yang Liulang for not obeying his orders, but now that the Yang family had injured his son, how could he not take advantage of this opportunity? Although Qian Weiyan is a little talented, he is a crafty wall grass. Because Ding Pu married Qian Weiyan's daughter and let him take the lead with Ding Yu, he had to help Ding Yu fall into the well with the Yang family.

"No Marquis She Saihua and Marquis Mu Guiying met--" With the little eunuch's sharp voice, Mrs. She and Mu Guiying walked into the Zichen Hall together. Although the two did not observe the situation in the hall, they felt the suddenly solidified atmosphere just now.

Because of the leader, Mrs. She didn't have to kneel down. But today's situation is special. The Yang family came to the palace to plead guilty. Therefore, Mrs. She and Mu Guiying knelt in the Zichen Hall at the same time. This kneeling made some old ministers exclaim. The Eighth Prince opened his eyes wide and looked at Mrs. She and Zhao Heng, as if he had something to say. But after thinking of something, the eighth prince resisted and turned his head aside.

Zhao Heng also felt very suddenly on Mrs. She's kneeling. Since Emperor Taizong gave him the 'long tou turn', Mrs. She has never knelt down. Zhao Heng's impression is that when he ascended the throne, Mrs. She was also standing. But at this time, she knelt down, which made Zhao Heng feel much more happy, and it didn't seem to be too vain to resent the Yang family.

After coughing, Zhao Heng said, "Mr. She, you have been given a dragon crutch by the previous emperor, and you don't need to kneel down. Please get up and talk."

"Your Majesty, She Saihua entered the palace at this time and pleaded guilty, and the sinner dared not get up." Although Mrs. She lowered her head, her voice was very powerful and did not look like an old woman at all. However, Mu Guiying lowered her head and remained motionless beside Mrs. She.

"Excend me?!" Zhao Heng immediately realised that Mrs. She must have deliberately entered the palace to protect Yang Zongbao. Thinking of the defeat in the south, Zhao Heng frowned again. He didn't want to let go of the Yang family easily because of Mrs. She's kneeling like this, so he stopped talking and waited for Mrs. She's remaining words.

However, Mrs. She only said a simple two-word attitude, and his heart was cold, so he said sadly: "Your Majesty, the sinners heard that our army was defeated under the leadership of the guilty minister Sun'er, which caused a lot of damage to the soldiers in our dynasty. The sinner came to plead with the emperor and asked the emperor to punish the Yang family for the defeat of the Yang family.

Ding said that he thought that Mrs. She and Mu Guiying had come to plead for the Yang family and Yang Zongbao, so he could take advantage of the situation to suppress the Yang family fiercely. But who would have thought that they came to plead guilty. In this way, it is really difficult for Ding to take the initiative to ask the emperor to be punished, so he has to think about it quietly in his heart.

Ding did not move, and Qian Weiyan did not move, and no one of the officials of their faction stood up when they saw this. The Eighth Prince seemed to want to stand up and speak for the Yang family, but Kou's timely eyes immediately dispelled his idea. As for Zhao Heng, he was a little embarrassed and didn't want to say anything that he had spared the Yang family.

"This..." Zhao Heng looked at the ministers, but no one came out to give him a step, and he was a little angry.

Seeing this, Kou Zhun stood up and arched his hand to Zhao Heng and said simply, "Your Majesty, Yang Zong is the commander-in-chief and led our army south to fight against the rebellion, but he did not let my soldiers fight against the southern army. It is really unforgivable for the defeat of our army. I would like to ask the emperor not to worry about all the previous contributions of the Yang family, but must escort Yang Zongbao back to Bianliang City for a good interrogation. I also asked the emperor to deal with the crime of She Saihua of the Yang family. Knowing that the southern army was strong, he let Yang Zongbao, the child, be the commander-in-chief, which was really abominable. You should demote the Yang family to a commoner, drive them out of Bianliang City, and come back for a long time..."

Kou Zhun's long series of words asking Zhao Heng to treat the Yang family's crimes made Zhao Heng's face white, red and blue. Although Kou Zhun accused the Yang family of being defeated and should be severely punished, Zhao Heng felt very uncomfortable.

At the beginning, the Yang family was for the Song Dynasty and the country of the Zhao family, leaving only widows, who were almost extinct. These achievements have been made, but the whole Song Dynasty knows it. In addition, none of the generals in the Manchu Dynasty dared to lead troops south to fight the rebellion. It was Zhao Heng who ordered Kou Zhun and the Eighth Prince to go to Tianbo Mansion to 'invite' the Yang family to come out to lead the army.

It is also true that Yang Zong was the commander-in-chief and defeated the southern country. Who would have thought that the army of the South would meet the army of the Song Dynasty so quickly. If this wins, it will be really strange. I believe Zhao Heng will be even more unable to do it. Moreover, Yang Zongbao was also injured, and Yang Zongfeng and Yang Zongying of the Yang family also disappeared. At this time, he still dealt with the Yang family, which did not seem to be done by Renjun.

Most importantly, if the Yang family is really dealt with, there will be no commander-in-chief, and there will be no one in the court who dares to go south to suppress the rebellion. If he let the southern country go all the way north to Bianliang City, how can Zhao Heng still have the face to meet the Emperor Taizong, who has high hopes for him? Thinking of this, Zhao Heng's mind suddenly woke up.

Seeing that Zhao Heng's expression eased, the ministers in the palace were happy and angry. Just as Zhao Heng was about to speak, a man quickly stood up: "Your Majesty..."
