After Minister of the Court of Judicial Review Fu Bonian went to Yan Prefecture, he was actually thrown into prison by the emperor when he came back. This incident caused a lot of trouble, and everyone speculated about the interests of this place.

The officials who were close to Fu Bonian on weekdays all fought with each other. For fear that the emperor would be unhappy, they were also arrested and kept with Fu Bonian in prison.

However, after everyone was worried for a while, they discovered that not only Fu Bonian was imprisoned, but also the prime minister Wei Sizhong, who was most trusted by the emperor, was also fined for one year and had to spend a month in isolation.

Only then did it become clear that something must have happened to Fu Bonian that angered Chu Jinghui, and by the way, his teacher Wei Sizhong was also dragged into the water.

But Yang Qing, who was far away in Yan Prefecture's prison, received a secret message, because he secretly found out the truth about Northern Liang Left Chancellor's mysterious death and informed Northern Liang After went to court, Northern Liang knew that he was in the wrong and did not mention the Peace Talks matter again, so he called back Du Liangcai and others who were still stranded in Yan Prefecture.

At the same time, a large sum of money was also paid to appease Yan Prefecture Military Commissioner Yang Qing who was innocently implicated in this incident.

However, Yang Qing put all this money into Yan Prefecture's treasury to provide relief to those from poor families.

After this incident was reported to the court, Yang Qing received another award from Chu Jinghui.

For a time, Yang Qing, Yan Prefecture Military Commissioner, who was not very eye-catching at first, became a very popular figure.

Yan Prefecture, Dailao

"Master, I'm really sorry that you stayed in this pickling place for so many days. Now we can finally go out openly."

Bu Er put on a light cloak for Yang Qing, followed him, and walked out of Yan Prefecture Prison with his head held high.

Yang Qing stayed in this prison for no less than a month, and his already very thin cheeks became even thinner, and his face looked pale and bloodless because he had not seen the sun for a long time.

"Sir, why don't you let the doctor in the mansion diagnose and treat you and take care of your health?"

Dai Sheng personally entered the prison this time and welcomed Yang Qing out of the prison, and he felt very emotional in his heart.

He admired Yang Qing very much for sacrificing his own safety and going to jail in order to force the real culprit in the Envoy case out of the water.

When I saw Yang Qing's expression, I couldn't help but say with concern.

"It's okay. I'll be fine if I rest for a few days."

Yang Qing declined Dai Sheng's kindness and returned to Little Willow Lane Yang Residence accompanied by Bu Er.

Little Willow Lane, Yang Residence

Yang Qing As soon as he returned to the mansion, he took a shower and changed clothes. After taking care of everything, he walked out again.

When he came out, he looked up and saw Jiang Zhizhou sitting on a chair, waiting for him quietly.

"This time we caught the opponent off guard when they underestimated the enemy, and successfully cut off Wei Sizhong's powerful arm. It can be said that we won the first battle!"

After Yang Qing also sat down, he said to Jiang Zhizhou, "However, according to Wei Sizhong's temperament, he will definitely be more cautious after this incident."

"Yes, but Regent King's ambition is becoming more and more obvious. He will use Peace Talks to force Western Chu into submission again."

"Regent King..."

Yang Qing's eyes flashed with light.

"I think our Prime Minister will respond soon."

Wei Sizhong Although he was ordered to shut up for a month, he could neither go out nor receive guests.

But this month can be used for much more than it seems on the surface.

Yang Qing When I thought of this, something strange flashed through my heart.

But that strange feeling came and went away so quickly that Yang Qing couldn't catch the thought at all.

Seeing Yang Qing fall silent, Jiang Zhizhou stood up at the right time and said, "You have just suffered such a serious crime, so you must not work hard anymore. Just take care of yourself, I will leave first."

Half a month later, Yang Qing learned from Court Gazette from Capital City that Fu Bonian explained his problems in detail, including privately accepting bribes during his tenure, participating in the buying and selling of officials, etc.

Chu Jinghui was furious because of this, and Zhu Bi made a decision to execute it, and it was executed after Qiu.

At this point, Wei Sizhong, this originally extremely stable and reliable arm, was completely abandoned.

This is a very happy thing, but for some reason, Yang Qing always feels like there is a dark cloud hanging over his heart.

It just kept lingering there, making him feel irritable.

For this reason, he recalled over and over again what he might have overlooked in his previous actions in order to identify the source of his annoyance.

When he felt like he had a clue, he suddenly heard that County Office had sent the latest Court Gazette.

Yang Qing opened it and looked at it slowly, and the dark cloud in my heart suddenly dispersed like a strong wind.

He finally understood why he felt uneasy before.

Court Gazette stated that because Yang Qing had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, Special Order chose a day to return to the capital to participate in the thousand-year-old banquet in the palace.

This seems to be a great joy.

Because every year, only those officials in Capital City participate in the Thousand Birthday Banquet held by the Central Government.

It doesn't mean that officials who are sent abroad are completely unqualified, but they are basically members of Imperial House, those royal family members and nobles who own land.

But like Yang Qing, Military Governor, who was just a mere bystander, was invited as an exception. This kind of grace was clearly too much.

Dai Sheng is as happy as ever for Yang Qing. Isn't it because the emperor made an exception to summon Yang Qing because of his outstanding achievements?

This is a good thing, a great thing!

Yang Qing knew that he and Dai Sheng could not express the interests between them, but the emperor's order could not be violated. He could only meet Jiang Zhizhou in secret and asked him to pay close attention to Yan Prefecture's movements. Then he took Bu Er and set off back to Capital City.

Bu Er also knew that Yang Qing was in a bad mood, so after arranging the interior of the carriage, he let Yang Qing sit in, and he himself sat with the coachman.

As soon as the carriage drove out of the Yan Prefecture City gate, a figure was seen walking slowly from the city gate.

"Miss Murong?"

Bu Er looked at the person coming and was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to turn around and say to Yang Qing, he saw that he had already stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage and bowed out.

"I heard that Lord Yang is going back to Beijing this time?"

Murong Qian faced Yang Qing's slightly pale face, with thousands of words filling his mind, but in the end, he just said this sentence.

Yang Qing also looked at the woman in front of him who was obviously much thinner than before, and said steadily, "Not bad."

"Then..."

Murong Qian bit his lip secretly, struggled for a long time, and finally just said, "This is a dangerous journey to Guanshan, please take care of yourself along the way."

Yang Qing raised his hands to Murong Qian and saluted. "Thank you very much, Miss Murong, for coming to see me off. It's windy here, so I hope you'll take care of yourself, too."

After Yang Qing finished speaking, he returned to the carriage again.

And until the car had driven far away, Yang Qing looked back and could still see a slender figure standing at the city gate.

His hand resting on his knee slowly tightened again.
