Rebirth of the Faint Lord

Su Ren was still heartbroken and angrily said: "The Marquis of Zhenbei committed crimes in the street, I ask the emperor to punish the Marquis of Zhenbei severely."

Qi Junmu pursed his lips and said nothing, looking extremely indifferent.

The courtiers, including Lin Xiao, who knew the emperor very well, felt that the emperor's appearance was aimed at Shen Nian, and as an important court official, it was already a felony to commit murder at the feet of the emperor.

The target of Shen Nian's murder was still Yue Yunzhou, a master criminal who was about to go to Shen Nian's territory to investigate the case.They had every reason to suspect that Shen Nian did it on purpose, he didn't want Yue Yunzhou to go to the north.

From this, it can even be deduced that Chang Sheng's disappearance in the northern border is probably related to Shen Nian.

All civil and military officials have this idea in their hearts, especially Su Ren as Jing Zhaoyin.

And he felt that Shen Nian was doing this on purpose, what was the difference between doing such a thing on his territory and hitting him hard in the face.Thinking of the last time the emperor went to Zhenbei Hou's mansion, he was busy like a servant, Su Ren only felt a pain in his heart.

So he said: "Your Majesty, Yue Shilang has an imperial decree to go to the northern border to investigate the disappearance of General Zhenxi. If Zhenbeihou did this, I have to suspect that he is intentional and guilty. I hope the emperor will investigate clearly and give Yue The servant is upholding justice."

"I hope the emperor will uphold justice for Master Yue." Most of the courtiers asked the emperor, including Lin Xiao.

What Shen Nian did this time was too blatant and arrogant, Lin Xiao felt sorry for Shen Nian's giving such a good opportunity if he didn't dispel his arrogance along the way.

The corners of the emperor's mouth tightened, and his face became colder.

Qi Junmu was really shocked when he was shocked, but he was also very happy in his heart.This is what he originally planned. Before Yue Yunzhou left Beijing, someone would beat him up and down, preferably until he couldn't walk.

Hitting a Yue Yunzhou is actually quite a small matter, and it can be done very easily.It's just that if this matter is done by him or other people in the palace, it is easy to show his flaws.

Yue Yunzhou is very careful, if he finds any flaws, it will not be much fun.The most important thing is that even if it was done by the emperor, the blame has to be taken seriously.

If the emperor didn't have any scruples at all before, he would have directly set Shen Nian up, and would not have even notified him.

This time it might be because the matter is so important, Shen Nian will be completely dragged into the water if he can't do it well, the emperor has many things and details to consider, and he has to take care of all aspects.

In the end, before he could come up with a perfect plan, Shen Nian did it, and he did it himself on the street.

This set didn't wait for him to read it to Shen Nian, Shen Nian had already put his head in it.

Regarding this, the emperor felt extremely complicated, and felt that although what Shen Nian did was somewhat unexpected, it was still very beautiful and in line with his wishes.But at the same time, Qi Junmu was a little annoyed. Annoyed that Shen Nian did not even have a discussion with him for this matter, annoyed... the emperor couldn't say what annoyed him, perhaps annoyed that he disturbed him and hadn't finished his deployment yet plan of.

The emperor thought about this in his heart, and when he heard the courtiers clamoring to arrest Shen Nian, the expression on his face became more serious.

The officials soon realized that the emperor's complexion was not good, and the buzzing sound gradually subsided. Before Su Ren could speak again, Qi Jun Muping said: "Xuanzhen Beihou."

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the emperor's voice.

Others don't understand the emperor, but he does.The emperor's tone seemed ordinary, but it was filled with anger.

The emperor is angry with Shen Nian, so Yue Yunzhou will not be bullied in vain.

The Yue family is the in-laws of the Lin family, no matter what reason Shen Nian did to Yue Yunzhou, it was also slapping the face of the Lin family.

He, Lin Xiao, is the emperor's uncle and the empress dowager's brother. As the saying goes, you don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. Since Shen Nian made a move, he should bear the consequences.They are not people made of mud, and they are not temperless.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaozhan said calmly: "Your Majesty, Yue Shilang suffered a disaster for no reason. Although his leg was broken, he was waiting outside the hall at this time. Yue Shilang also wanted to know where he offended the Marquis of Zhenbei, so that He was so angry."

Under Lin Xiao's calmness, there were also stormy waves hidden. The emperor glanced at him and said softly, "Xuan."

This time there were two people entering the hall, Shen Nian who walked in standing and Yue Yunzhou who was carried in.

Yue Yunzhou is a master at solving cases, but he is still a literati with a thin body. Now he is lying on a stretcher, his right leg is fixed by a splint, and there is still a little blood on his clothes.

There was a bruise on his face, and he looked miserable. Looking at Shen Nian who was clean and gentle, in contrast, he only felt that Yue Yunzhou was even worse.

The emperor was silent, and so were the courtiers.

The first one to break the silence was Yue Yunzhou, panting because of the pain: "Your Majesty, I am sorry for your injury, so I cannot salute."

Qi Junmu sighed and said, "It's okay, what happened?" His face was calm and fair, but he was thinking about how to exonerate Shen Nian.

I feel sorry for Yue Yunzhou for doing this, but people are divided into relatives and distant relatives, even if he is the emperor.

Shen Nian is on his side, he has nothing to worry about and will not be influenced by his relatives, Yue Yunzhou is not the same, he is also a loyal minister, but his heart is on his family.

Qi Junmu was sure that if Yue Yunzhou found out about something, no matter how much he hesitated, he would tell his family and Lin Xiao.

The emperor pondered this in his heart, only to hear Yue Yunzhou smile wryly and say: "Your Majesty, I don't know where I offended Zhenbeihou. It was the first time I talked with Zhenbeihou in private yesterday, and I didn't expect to end up like this."

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, his face contorted, because he was hurt.

People believe their own eyes, seeing Yue Yunzhou like this, he couldn't help but start to sympathize with him, thinking that Shen Nian is a heinous person.

Qi Junmu only started to have a headache at this time, but he still asked in a steady tone: "Does Zhenbeihou have anything to say?"

Shen Nian has been expressionless since he entered the hall, he drooped his head as if he was pleading guilty.Hearing the emperor's question at this time, he slowly raised his face, and then...then his eye circles turned red, and he looked as if he was about to cry.

Qi Junmu blinked his eyes and froze there, the courtiers had never seen Shen Nian in such a fragile state, they were all shocked.

Shen Nian said in a hoarse voice, aggrieved, "Your Majesty, I did something to Mr. Yue, but I don't regret it."

"What do you mean?" Qi Junmu murmured.

Shen Nian lowered his head to the ground and said sadly but quickly: "I know that ever since Chang Sheng disappeared, the emperor and all the ministers believed that it was my subordinates."

The emperor naturally knew that Shen Nian was acting, so he immediately cooperated, his face was a little guilty and he said coldly: "Shen Qing, what are you talking about. When did I and all the ministers say that they don't trust you anymore? There are many doubts, and because it involves you, I am so cautious."

After saying this, Qi Junmu glanced at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao took a step forward and said with a sneer: "Marquis of Zhenbei, the emperor asked you why you hurt Minister Yue, what do you mean by this? Are you resenting the emperor in your heart?"

Shen Nian just pretended not to hear what the two said, and continued to bury his head in his mouth and said: "Of course I believe in the emperor, but these days I have been thinking about these things in my heart, and I have no evidence to prove my innocence, so I can only resign myself to fate."

"As a result, when I left the palace yesterday, I overheard someone chatting, saying that this time Yue Yunzhou will go to the northern border to find evidence that I framed General Chang Sheng, and that Yue Yunzhou can punish my crime."

Speaking of this, Shen Nian raised his head, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and his expression was resentful. He looked at the emperor and sniffled and said: "Your Majesty, my father has been guarding the northern border for more than ten years, and my minister went to the battlefield at the age of 14. Countless injuries and countless bloodsheds. Weichen was guarding the northern border and Daqi, and someone slandered him like this at this time. Weichen couldn't get angry, so he went to find Yue Yunzhou and asked him what he could do to find Weichen. , or maybe they want to put some shit pot on Wei Chen's head."

"Lord Yue is good. He happened to be having dinner with Master Su. When this minister came up to him, he didn't even look at him. He even stopped Master Su from saying that he would give the minister justice. Today, in front of the emperor, I would like to May I ask, what does Mr. Yue mean by this? This Marquis is innocent in the first place, do you need to be fair? You must believe that I did it from the bottom of your heart. Could it be true that you have uncovered several crimes? Is it true that you really think that you are capable enough to deal with a suspicious case?"

The more he talked, the more angry Shen Nian became, and the more he couldn't control the angry expression on his face. He clenched his hands tightly, creaking loudly, as if he really wanted to beat Yue Yunzhou again.

Yue Yunzhou: "..."

He endured the pain and said: "At that time, Lord Hou was questioning, but I just wanted to say that no matter who was wronged in this matter, I will do my best to find out the truth of the matter, not just talking to Lord Hou."

Shen Nian snorted coldly, he raised the corners of his eyes and said with a half-smile: "Master Yue, you can punish this Marquis. It is Mr. Jing Zhaoyin and Su. Mr. Su and Mr. Yue were eating out together yesterday. I believe Master Su will not say anything in front of Master Yue. This Marquis sees that you are working together and trying to frame loyal ministers."

"You are talking nonsense."

Su Ren was the first to jump out and said, he didn't expect Shen Nian to be so shameless, to beat him up without saying anything, and to confuse black and white like this, his face flushed, "I have dinner with Yue Shilang is a gentleman's friend, you just have nothing to say in front of the emperor , Crawling around."

Shen Nian snorted coldly and said, "Is this Marquis talking nonsense? Master Su dares to swear the lives of the nine clans in front of the emperor and never tells anyone that the emperor can punish Ben Hou this time? If there is no evidence, Master Su dares to arrange the crime of Ben Hou." , I believe that you and Yue Yunzhou are in collusion, is it still wrong?"

Su Ren: "..."

He cursed a few dirty words in his heart, this Shen Nian must have taken the wrong medicine, what's the point of catching him.

As for asking him to swear on the lives of the Nine Clansmen, he was still a little hesitant.

After all, he seemed to have said similar things to other people. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was similar.

During Su Ren's hesitation, Shen Nian had the upper hand, he said: "Master Su is very calculating, Yue Yunzhou has the name of Qingtian, what he said, even the emperor has to consider three points, you have won people over, Don’t you decide the crimes of this Marquis casually?”

Speaking of this, he said with a straight face: "The emperor chose Yue Yunzhou to go to the northern border. I trust the emperor, but I don't trust him to handle this matter impartially. Thinking that he and Lord Su will frame this minister, I am angry Then he moved his hands. Also...It was only after he regained his senses that he found out that Mr. Yue's leg was broken, and Weichen knew that he had made a mistake, so he hired a doctor to pay for his consultation."

Shen Nian just said, Su Ren wanted to punish me, Yue Yunzhou who ate with Su Ren was not a good guy, I beat him because I was too angry.

Yue Yunzhou: "..."

All the courtiers: "..."

Why, quite complacent.

Isn't this intentional?Otherwise, it was such a coincidence that Yue Yunzhou was fine everywhere, but he broke his leg.

This man's leg is broken, so he can only stay at home and rest, and he can't go to far places.

The emperor rubbed his forehead with a tired look on his face.

Everyone knew that what Shen Nian was talking about was fallacious, but no one refuted it.Because of Su Ren's hesitation, and the fact that he and Yue Yunzhou had dinner together are true.

As Shen Nian expressed, Su Renneng suspected Shen Nian so much, so Shen Nian could naturally suspect that he and Yue Yunzhou had an ulterior collusion.

The emperor thought to himself, there must be many people who scolded Su Ren in their hearts at this time.

At this moment, Yue Yunzhou said: "Your Majesty, I dare to swear to the sky, Master Su and I have never talked about Zhenbei Hou's words, I have been wronged."

Shen Nian believed that he had no grievances, his eyes were red, tears rolled in his eye sockets, and he said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, since Master Yue said so, I admit it. He broke a leg, and I will accompany you He's got one leg."

After saying this, he raised his hand and prepared to use his hand as a knife to chop at his left leg.

"Enough." The emperor suddenly stood up and said sharply with a cold face: "Why, is this the hall where you quarreled in the bustling market? A dignified Marquis of Zhenbei, a dignified court minister, without any evidence, all by himself You are making noise and slandering each other like childish children, I don’t think you should stand on top of this court.”

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, other courtiers hurriedly pleaded guilty to appease the emperor.

Shen Nian didn't dare to chop off his own leg, he knelt down along with the crowd.

Qi Junmu took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down the anger in his heart, he said patiently: "Yue Shilang is injured, send him back first, and pass Baifeng to go with him. Jingzhao Yin Suren, there is no evidence to speculate and sue the town Northern Marquis, pay half a year, and spend a month behind closed doors."

"As for Marquis Zhenbei, he shot and wounded people, rambling nonsense, and was temporarily confined in the palace. Chang Sheng is not allowed to leave the palace or contact any of his subordinates until the disappearance in the northern border is clear."

The main hall was silent, Shen Nian suddenly raised his head, he said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to stay behind closed doors, but it is not quite in compliance with the rules to confine me in the palace."

"Where does the Marquis of Zhenbei want to be imprisoned? Why don't you tell me a place, or choose some places for you to choose?" Qi Junmu faked a smile.

Shen Nian pursed her lips and bowed her head in silence.

"Retire, Prime Minister Zuo stays." After Qi Junmu said this, he let out a cold snort and shook his sleeves and left.

@@@

When Lin Xiao saw the emperor in the imperial study, the emperor was propping his forehead with his hands, with an irritable expression on his face.

Lin Xiao scolded Su Ren for being a pighead in his heart, and stood there quietly.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Junmu sighed, and he said weakly: "What do you think about this matter, uncle?"

"I think Shen Nian has ulterior motives." Lin Xiao said.

Qi Junmu nodded: "Shen Nian is not a messy person, this time the words of the court are not like his temperament, he must be hiding something, I can rest assured that I put people under my nose. Outside the palace , Zhenbei Hou has quite a few cronies, and he can pass on some news casually."

Speaking of this, the emperor smiled wryly: "Today's court meeting is really chaotic. I think this emperor has failed enough. Even if he scolds Shen Nian afterwards, I still have to appease him. Uncle Yue Yunzhou should come forward. Su Ren, uncle Take a word for me, stay at home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. If your brain is so dull in the future, just pack up your things and go back to your ancestral home."

"My minister knows." Seeing that the emperor was very tired, Lin Xiao comforted him, "Don't think too much, your majesty has already done a good job. No one expected Zhenbeihou to be so flexible."

After hitting someone, the words he said were so righteous that he was bluffed.

Qi Junmu hummed and told Lin Xiao to step back.

After Lin Xiao left, Qi Junmu asked Ruan Jiqing to call Shen Nian in.

Shen Nian approached the back of the hall, Ruan Jiqing closed the door, leaving only the Emperor Tong Zhen Beihou in the hall.

Shen Nian knelt on the ground, after an unknown amount of time, he secretly raised his head to look at the emperor, only to see that the emperor was staring at him coldly.

Shen Niangan smiled and called out to the emperor.

Qi Junmu looked at him like this, and suddenly lost his temper. He said: "Get up and sit down. There is no one else here, and you don't have to be too restrained. We, the monarchs and ministers, talk."

Shen Nian stood up and found a place not too far from the emperor to sit down.

After he sat down, Qi Junmu looked at his reddish eye circles, thinking of him crying bitterly in the hall, the emperor frowned slightly, looked away and said: "Why, I feel sad because I feel wronged in my heart? "

"Your Majesty, I'm not sad." Shen Nian hurriedly explained: "I'm creating an atmosphere, my tears were stimulated, and I wiped something near my cuff."

Hearing this, Qi Junmu said angrily: "Did you really hear what Su Ren said?"

"Where did I hear that, but Su Ren also has such a temperament, and he has a problem with me. This time, when he gets the chance, he can't help jumping around." Shen Nian hurriedly said honestly: "I will also go to the hall. I didn’t expect the effect to be so good after cheating him by surprise.”

"Then why do you want to break your own leg in the end? I looked at you like you were lying." Qi Junmu said softly.

Shen Nian heyed a few times, he raised his eyebrows and said anxiously: "No, it was the atmosphere that came up at that time, and I wanted to add fuel to it." After saying this, he looked away.

The next moment his eyes suddenly turned to the emperor again, only to hear Qi Junmu whisper: "Shen Nian, are you afraid of me?"

"No." Shen Nian retorted immediately, then he pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "It's not that I'm not afraid, the emperor is the emperor, and as a subject, I respect and fear the emperor. Everyone in Qi is like this."

Qi Junmu smiled perfunctorily, his eyes swept over Shen Nian's hands that were unconsciously pinching the hem of his clothes.

Shen Nian found out, and immediately let go of the corner of his clothes, put his hands on his knees, straightened his waist, and looked like he was sitting upright.

After a long time, Qi Junmu's voice sounded, and he said, "Shen Nian, I really didn't expect you to attack Yue Yunzhou. I was really surprised when I heard what Su Ren said. Doing it is a loss-making business, and you will always be criticized and suspected in the future, but you just did it. Why?"
