Chapter 125 Why Deal with Minister Peng

In the East Palace, the prince and Shu Yuwan have been following the progress of the matter.

When they heard that the Peng family was imprisoned, the couple smiled at each other.

Shu Yuwan thought for a while and said, "Ajin, I promised the wife of Anding Marquis that as long as she stands up, collects evidence, and finds Zhang Yushi to file a complaint, I will help her save An Shaoyan."

The prince smiled softly: "Okay, I know, don't worry."

In the Dali Temple prison, An Shaoyan was led out as soon as he entered. Now the Peng family naturally knew who leaked the news!

The eldest sister-in-law of the Peng family, the noblewoman who had contact with Zhao Qingqing at the beginning, angrily scolded Mr. Peng Er, "It's all your fault. You brought such a disaster into the house, and you didn't know how to guard against her!"

Mr. Peng Er was naturally not easy to deal with, and he fought back, "It's not me who wants to marry, it's not my father who asked me to marry! This Anding Marquis Mansion is also an alliance you want to form, who knows that this person will turn against us!"

"Besides, besides me, doesn't my eldest brother like this too!"

Mr. Peng's face was ugly, and she wanted to scold again. Minister Peng, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed, said, "Shut up."

"As soon as something happened, you attacked each other. Is this what I taught you all these years?"

Mr. Peng and Mr. Peng Er shut up when they heard Minister Peng speak.

Peng Da asked, "Father, is it really because of this second son's business that the imperial guards were recruited?"

Minister Peng nodded with satisfaction. This family finally has something useful.

"Yes, there must be other things, but we were caught suddenly and we were not prepared at all. Now we can only rely on your sister."

In the palace, when Concubine Xian got the news, the entire Peng Mansion had been imprisoned in the Dali Temple.

Concubine Xian was in a bad mood. She had not received any news. How could the Peng family suddenly go to jail!

While hurriedly sending people to inquire about the situation, she found Chenggan Palace and asked to see the emperor.

When the emperor heard that Concubine Xian was asking for an audience outside, he didn't care much. He didn't have any feelings for Concubine Xian.

At the beginning, Concubine Xian was given the title of "Xian" because he felt that Minister Peng was highly respected and Concubine Xian was also virtuous and kind. Now it seems that it was just an appearance.

The emperor refused to see her, so Concubine Xian knelt outside Chenggan Palace.

When Eunuch Hong went in to report, the emperor casually said: "Let her do it. She can kneel if she wants."

The fifth prince also received the news soon.

For a while, he was a little desperate!

Although he did not want to be constrained by the Peng Mansion and Concubine Xian, the Peng family was his last resort, and now even the Peng family has fallen!

The fifth prince could not help but sweat coldly, feeling that he was being watched secretly.

Concubine Xian knelt for a whole day, but did not see the emperor. Knowing that this road was not feasible, she did not waste time.

She knelt outside the palace and begged again, and then returned to her own palace.

When the people around her came to report that the imperial guards had found many young boys and girls in the Peng Mansion, Concubine Xian felt that her eyes went dark.

She also knew a little about these things.

It was just that such things were inevitable among the princes and nobles and the aristocratic families. Moreover, although the second brother was a little excessive, he had always covered it up well. Even in the upper class circle, there were no rumors. Why did he only focus on the Peng family for this matter!

Concubine Xian's intuition was not limited to this, and she felt a little panic in her heart.

She had always been a sparrow hiding behind, no matter how Concubine Zhang and Concubine Shu jumped, she never showed her edge. Who is targeting the Peng family now? And why?

Thinking about this, she ordered the maid beside her, "Go and call the fifth prince."

......

The next day.

In the court, everyone knew the news that the Peng Mansion was confiscated, but no one stood up, even those proud students of Minister Peng could not say a word.

After all, the people were searched out of the Peng Mansion. Although the whole Peng family was imprisoned because of this incident, what else could they say.

Just before the court was about to end, a student who had been promoted by Minister Peng bravely stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although Lord Peng did not teach his son strictly, he is a veteran of two dynasties after all. He is old and may not be able to bear the pain of prison. I beg Your Majesty to give him a break."

The prince looked at the young official who stood up to plead for Minister Peng, and signaled to his confidant. The confidant was about to step out when he saw Zhang Yushi step out and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I object. Can a veteran of two dynasties do whatever he wants and harm the common people?"

"Being a veteran of two dynasties shows that Minister Peng has failed the trust of two monarchs. He is old and may have been doing such things for many years!"

The prince looked at Zhang Yushi in surprise, secretly saying that the Zhang Yushi that Wanwan found was really, very powerful.

The emperor sat quietly above.

After everyone finished speaking, he said, "This is not the only crime that Minister Peng has committed. Let's not discuss this for now."

After the court was dismissed, the emperor called the prince to Chenggan Hall.

"Father, what is the matter with you calling me here?"

The emperor looked calm, but the question he asked surprised the prince.

"Jin'er, why do you want to deal with Minister Peng?"

Seeing this, the prince didn't want to play dumb, so he smiled and said, "How did you see that, father?"
