Qihuang

The city gate guards began to check the people who came in and out, and Chen Paohui closed his eyes.

If there was no later note, he would have already run out of the city gate at this time!

One day later, Chen Paohui was found by the imperial guards in the city, and he was indeed dead.

In the imperial study room, Yan Liao waved away the officials who had finished reporting, and leaned back on the couch.

There was a pile of official documents in his hand, most of which were related to Yan Yu.

Yan Liao flipped through the booklets one after another, silent, and the handsome face was neither happy nor angry, but it was even more terrifying than when Thunder was furious.

Yan Liao really didn't expect that from Yan Yu's line, he could go all the way from the top of the court to the bottom of the Great Wall.

Form ministers and parties in the court, and private soldiers in the court.

Xiao Cheng'en's embezzlement of the Great Wall Superintendent's Bank and the secret gathering of slaves were also exposed.

The father and son of the Xiao family really did not give Mobei royal family peace of mind. Yan Yu was not prepared to save face for Mobei king at all during this rebellion.

Xu Shaozhuo pushed the door open with the snow on his shoulders.He first poured a cup of hot tea for Yan Liao, then picked up a stack of things in his hands, and said slowly: "My lord, these are all the city defense maps found in the general's mansion, and those related to the city defense who were secretly replaced by Yan Yu, The Ministry of Criminal Justice is still investigating."

Yan Liao glanced at it, and said lightly, "Let it go."

Wang Yuan coughed twice: "Your Majesty, there has been an uproar in the court about Yan Yu. Yan Yu's crime should have been Zhu Lian...'s crime.

In fact, the crimes Xiao Chengen committed back then were not enough for you to keep Yan Yu by your side and reuse them. You spared the lives of their father and son and gave Xiao Yuyan the surname. It is because of your kindness. "

Yan Liao was caressing a small paperweight in his hand, his eyes fell on the ups and downs of green leaves in the teacup, with a strong hand, the paperweight was crushed into powder.

Wang Yuan: "..."

Xu Shaozhuo: "..."

Wang Yuan knew that Shizi was worried about this matter, but he had to say something, because if he didn't say it, no one would dare to say it.

"All the ministers are admonishing, please execute the rebellious ministers. You have been extrajudicially merciful in the matter of Xiao Cheng'en back then, do you want to show mercy this time?

My son, the matter of Yan Yu is different. His crimes are obvious to all, not only the officials, but also the people of Mobei. If you are more selfish, how can you convince the public?

Or are you telling the world that as long as you trust and appreciate you, it's okay to betray you? "

This is really serious!Xu Shaozhuo looked at Wang Yuan sharply, with blue veins popping up on his forehead, he said on his own, "Prime Minister Wang, my son is tired."

Wang Yuan didn't listen, and continued: "My son, you grew up under the watchful eye of the old minister. The old minister knows what you are like. The veteran knows better than anyone else how much you want to protect everyone around you. But...the Tian family has no father and son. , let alone a cousin with a foreign surname?

In the future, if you go to a farther and higher place, will you also have the benevolence of a saint? "

But the benevolence of a sage is not the real "benevolence"!

Yan Liao finally said: "Yan Yu is useless, he can't make waves anymore, let's demote him as a commoner and send him out of the royal city."

Wang Yuan asked: "What about Xiao Cheng'en?"

Yan Liao paused: "Abolished the official position and became a slave."

Yan Liao pushed the powder on the table with his hands, Wang Yuan felt distressed, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

Yan Liao suddenly sighed: "Maybe I thought things were too simple from the beginning."

Yan Yu is stubborn and rigid, and has her own justice in her heart.In his previous life, for his own justice, he was able to kill even his own father. In this life, for his own justice, of course he dared to turn against himself.

Wang Yuan only said that the son was still reluctant to part with Xiao's father and son, so he said silently:

"Everyone has a scale in their hearts, royal power, affection, how many princes and grandchildren have been ruined since ancient times? Everyone thinks that he is right and others are wrong. He feels that as long as he is in that position, he will definitely do better. Others are good.

Prince, you will go to a farther place in the future, this matter, let me teach you a lesson. "

Xu Shaozhuo listened so loudly that he didn't dare to breathe.But in his heart, he did not agree with the son's treatment of Xiao's father and son at all.

If you want him to say, what kind of favor is being offered outside the law, he can't wait to tear Yan Yu into pieces!

As far as Xu Shaozhuo is concerned, no matter who it is, as long as it tries to hurt the son, it is a crime worthy of death.

It's just that Shizi's thunderbolt method is never willing to use it on someone he regards as his own.Xu Shaozhuo has witnessed this countless times in Wu Hai.

Xu Shaozhuo secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to grow up.No matter in Mobei or wherever, as long as he is still alive, he must be by Shizi's side, and he must be a sharp sword to protect Shizi.

For the sake of his son, Xu Shaozhuo was willing to kill anything.

He can kill anything, good or bad.

He can kill the son's wish, and he can also kill the son's reluctance.

As long as his son keeps the heart of a saint, he is willing to become evil for his son.

In fact, at this time, Xu Shaozhuo himself has not yet distinguished what is good and what is evil.He only has one heart, which is willing to fight to the death to protect Yan Liao.

After Wang Yuan exited the study, Wang Xinbai, who was hiding outside, immediately stepped forward to help Wang Yuan up, smiled flatteringly and helped Wang Yuan go down.

Wang Yuan snorted: "What? Have you played enough? Are you willing to go back with me?"

"No, I quarreled with Shizi about Yan Yu's matter yesterday..." Wang Xinbai said awkwardly, "Hey, don't struggle anymore, I'd better go home honestly and let you punish me for copying."

Wang Yuan snorted again: "So you are flattering me now to find out how the eldest son will deal with Xiao's father and son?"

Wang Xinbai: "Hey."

Wang Yuan said a few words about the son's fate, and Wang Xinbai shook his head when he heard it: "Yan Yu can't stay. The son is reluctant. If you want me to say, Wu Hai cleaned up Yan Yu, let's not care whether he has good intentions or bad intentions. As far as the safety of the son is concerned, he has done a good thing."

Wang Yuan disagreed: "If Wu Hai hadn't done anything, the ministers would have forced the son to order Yan Yu to be killed, instead, they would have killed the weeds."

Wang Xin smiled in vain: "Forget it, the prince's temper, how could he kill Yan Yu? It's not as good as it is now."

After speaking, both grandpa and grandson fell silent.

Wang Xinbai supported Wang Yuan to walk slowly in the snow, turned a corner, and Wang Xinbai suddenly said: "Sometimes I feel that if the son is not the son, it would be fine not to be the king of Mobei."

Surprised, Wang Yuan looked around and saw no one around, so he reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't speak nonsense!"

Wang Xinbai smiled: "I think Mr. Wu Hai is rather interesting."

Wang Yuan waved his desperate grandson away, and cursed: "I don't think you are afraid of being punished for plagiarism anymore. When you get home, you will punish me for standing on your head!"

Wang Xinbai still smiled: "I don't believe you didn't find out the clue."

Wang Yuan remained silent, Wang Xinbai continued:

"Look, the officials in the court are in chaos, the prince is bound to change the appearance of a bunch of ministers in the court this time, and clean up the government affairs.

In this way, those who rely on the old to sell the old, and want to ask the prince to pay attention to the emperor's favor, in order to keep their position, I am afraid that they will not dare to disobey the prince too much, and you are the prime minister, and you are on the prince's side... In fact, the prince wants What to do, it's done.

Also, half of the credit for all of this is actually Wu Hai's.If Wu Hai hadn't contributed to the flames, how could the court have become so chaotic in such a short period of time?Um?what do you think? "

Wang Xinbai only felt that Wu Hai's city mansion was deep and terrifying. He didn't know whether Wu Hai wanted to harm the prince or help the prince.Or in other words... It is good for him to do so.

But what are the benefits?

At least for now, Wang Xinbai can't see through it too much.

Wang Yuan liked his grandson's intelligence, but he still feigned anger on his face: "You are so eloquent, why didn't you become an official?"

Wang Xinbai laughed softly: "Grandpa, please forgive me. I feel tired just watching so many twists and turns. If I get involved, I will die for my country in a few days."

Wang Yuan pouted: "It's New Year's Eve, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Wang Xinbai's eyes were full of flair, and he laughed: "I can't be as tolerant and strong as Shizi, nor can I be as scheming as Mr. Wu Hai, so I just want to be happy in this life."

The grandpa and grandson walked out of the palace gate, there was no one outside the palace wall, and the wind was strong, Wang Yuan leaned on his grandson and said sadly:

"There are Liu Huang and Xiang Wang in history. If the son can be like Liu Huang and achieve the eternal empire, I am naturally happy for him, but if the son does not have an exquisite heart, I only hope that he will not commit suicide by the water and come back. Just fine."

Wang Xinbai smiled: "Grandpa, don't worry, the son is neither Emperor Liu nor King Xiang."

Wang Yuan looked at him, and he restrained his smile, and said lightly: "The son is the son. Although I don't want to be an official, I am willing to serve him as a judge for the rest of my life. No matter what he wants to do, I will always support him."

Wang Yuan was stunned, and then he murmured for a long time: "Wu Hai is not good either. He...is not suitable for that position either."

Wang Xinbai smiled: "Grandpa thinks where Wu Hai will go after leaving Mobei?"

Wang Yuan didn't answer, Wang Xinbai guessed himself: "Will he go back to Gusu? No, I don't think he can go back to Gusu. He has no power and power now, so he can only be in the dark. Could it be possible to make Mobei into a In this way, he can retire to the mountains and forests to live in peace?"

Wang Yuan: "..."

"Wu Hai grew up with Shi Zi. If he had no ambition, he would definitely not do such a thing. Shi Zi and Wu Hai will definitely entangle each other in the future."

Wang Xinbai stretched out his hand, caught a piece of falling snow, and said calmly: "Once the sky changes, the world will soon be in chaos. At that time, there will be many heroes everywhere, and there will be too many heroes in the country. Who can be sure about such things?

But Grandpa, I really want to see it, and I really want to know how far a person like Shizi can go.I want to know if a kind and strong benevolence can become a light shining in all directions in troubled times. "

-

The people in Jizhou were in turmoil. A few days later, mobs formed a party in the most severely affected counties and counties.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Xu Shaoqing finally set off from Xiagu and came to Mobei in person to Yan Liao's side.

Xu Shaoqing pleaded with Yan Liao: "Your Majesty, Jizhou is in chaos, and mobs have come all the way to Mobei from the official and wild roads."

Yan Liao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his face: "Xu Shaoqing, that's not what you told me before."

The letter Xu Shaoqing asked Baili Yunting to hand over only mentioned the riot, but did not say that the situation was out of control.

Xu Shaoqing calmly breathed calmly, and said slowly:

"My son, Mobei has not suffered such a serious disaster. I want the mobs in Jizhou to see Mobei with their own eyes. Moreover, I believe that my son must have a way to subdue these mobs. Also, the granary in Xiagu, when the riots really started At the moment, in the name of the son of Mobei, the food has been released."

Yan Liao suddenly asked: "What's the name of the leader of the mob who started the civil unrest? Is it from Yichang County... Tang..."

After rummaging in his mind for a while, Yan Liao came up with a somewhat memorable name: "Tang Po."

"..." Xu Shaoqing was stunned: "My lord, how do you know?"

In fact, this mob was so difficult to deal with that Xu Shaoqing could only let him rush to Mobei with a group of mobs.
