Has Your Majesty abdicated today?

Xie Xuan came out and said loudly: "Queen Mother, I have something to say—"

The Empress Dowager originally didn't want Xie Xuan to speak, but under the watchful eyes of all the courtiers, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to put on a magnanimous look and said, "Yes."

Xie Xuandao: "Queen Mother, the return of the government should not be taken lightly. According to the book of rites of this dynasty, the return of the government needs to be done after offering sacrifices to Wentian, the cabinet will discuss it, and then choose a good day to return the government. So rashly issue the return of the government. Not only is it against etiquette, if it is spread to the Southern Dynasties, wouldn't it be ridiculed by others?

Today, His Majesty made it clear that it was for Xie Fan. If he took charge of the matter personally, then they would have no way out. Although the Empress Dowager is an ignorant woman, she has a quarrel with Xie Fan, and she will not favor Xie Fan. And the more brainless you are, the easier it is to handle...

Therefore, the queen mother must not be allowed to return to power.

After Xie Xuan finished speaking, there were whispers in the court.

Qi Chu glanced at Xie Xuan calmly, silently hinting with his eyes that he would refute Xie Xuan for himself.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yu didn't seem to notice it, the old god was there, and the eight winds didn't move.

Qi Chu: "..."

Don't ask for a tacit understanding, how the tacit understanding between them is not as good as Zhou Boshen and Xie Yu, it is really sad.

Qi Chu hinted again with his eyes, but to no avail...

Xie Fan, you can't be nearsighted!

His eyes are about to cramp...

Qi Chu deeply hated Xie Fan for being a piece of wood!

But right now is not the time to care about, he can only make another plan if one plan fails, so he coughed lightly on purpose, and almost begged Xie Fan to speak for him directly!

Xie Yu looked at him with a teasing smile on the corner of his lips, only then did Qi Chu understand that Xie Yu was just teasing him.

Although the queen mother can't do anything, she is No.1 in the team.

She understood that with Xie Fan's temperament, if he was not impeached today, he would definitely retaliate tomorrow.

The emperor appeared today and personally cleared Xie Fen's grievances. The two of them must have reached some kind of agreement. If she is greedy for power today and does not return the power to His Majesty, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the future.

This policy is right and wrong!

The Queen Mother cleared her throat and planned to personally refute Xie Xuan. Unexpectedly, since His Majesty hadn't looked at Xie Fen, she suddenly stood up and said: "I think what Xie Xuan said is very true, and the return of the government is indeed not to be taken lightly."

Not to mention that Qi Chu was puzzled, even Xie Fan's strongest fan, Zhou Boshen, looked at Xie Fan with a puzzled expression.

Xie Yu ignored everyone's gazes, Shi Shiran said: "Your Majesty has only returned to Beijing now, and we need to investigate to determine whether he is qualified to take on the important task."

Although Zhou Boshen didn't understand what Xie Chen meant, but as a fan, no matter what Xie Chen wanted to do, he would always support him unconditionally, so he echoed, "I also think it's appropriate."

Xie Xuanfang wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Yu, he continued: "Now is an opportunity, the Queen Mother's innocence has been questioned this time, if Your Majesty can properly handle this matter this time, return the Queen Mother's innocence, and block all the people in the world It is enough to prove that His Majesty has the demeanor of a benevolent monarch, so that the Empress Dowager can return to her Majesty with peace of mind."

Xie Xuan obstructed the Empress Dowager's return to power this time, just to prevent His Majesty from interfering in this matter. Wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts to be said by Xie Yan?

Xie Xuanfang wanted to continue to persuade the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager said: "What the Grand Master said is true, so let's do it according to what the Grand Master said."

"Queen Mother—" Xie Xuan still didn't give up.

The Empress Dowager behind the bead curtain sighed softly and said: "The Ai family is also exhausted, so I will go back to the palace first."

Mu Kanggong said: "Queen Dowager, since it is an inspection, the Queen Mother should stay and see how Your Majesty will deal with it!"

The queen mother hesitated and didn't make a sound for a long time.

Xie Xuandao: "The matter this time involves the Empress Dowager, and some things need to be left by the Empress Dowager to be a witness. Please also ask the Empress Dowager to show her car after the court meeting."

Queen Mother: "..."

She returned the government with a broken tail in order to avoid this matter. If it was as Xie Xuan and Mu Kanggong said, why would she return the government?

Hearing what Xie Xuan and Mu Kanggong said, Xie Fan frowned slightly, looked at Mu Kanggong and Xie Xuan calmly, and suddenly came out to the Queen Mother and said: "What Mu Kanggong said is very true. The Empress Dowager will drive after the Great Court Meeting!"

Perhaps on the day of delivery, Xie Yu left a deep impression on the queen mother, she was a little afraid of this grand master with a gentle smile, and when she heard what the grand master said, she stayed at the court meeting.

The matter of returning to power has been put on hold for the time being, but now Qi Chu can take charge of the matter anyway.

Xie Xuan saw that the matter was settled, and it was hard to shake, so he exchanged glances with Mu Kanggong calmly.

After the two looked at each other, Duke Mu Kang suddenly fell to the ground and said to Qi Chu, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty!"

Qi Chu said: "Oh? The matter has not been clarified yet, why is Mr. Mu Kang so anxious to admit his mistake?"

Mu Kanggong said: "This matter involves the emperor and the grand master, but the ministers care about it, causing chaos and hearsay, so that they spread this false news to the government and the public. They should be punished!"

Qi Chu followed the example of kindness, and said: "It is true that we should be punished, so we will punish Duke Mukang with half a year's salary...and make an apology to the Grand Master for this matter."

Qi Chu originally thought that it was Mu Kanggong who found a way for him to step down. After all, the crime of ignoring the mistakes by hearsay is much less than the crime of deliberately framing Zhongliang.

Although Qi Chu wanted to protect Xie Fan, he had to take into account the power of the six great families. If because of today's incident, the Taishi Party and the Family Party attacked each other, it would be internal friction for Dayu... Useless.

That's why he wanted to treat today's affairs lightly, starting with fines and ending with flogging.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Mu Kang is actually a strong man. When he listened to what Qi Chu said before, he was fine, until he heard the word of apology, his complexion suddenly changed, he became angry, knelt up, and said a little arrogantly: " I will never make amends to Xie Mi!"

After finishing speaking, he bent down and bowed to Qi Chu again, saying: "Although the minister made a mistake for a while, it does not mean that the grand master has no second thoughts! Just now I heard that Master Zhou Boshen compared the grand master to Yi. , Zhou, according to the old minister, I am afraid it is Huo Guang and Cao Cao!"

One of these two coerced the emperor to make the princes, and the other directly usurped the throne...Mr. Mu Kang compared Xie Fen to Huo Guang of Cao Cao, in order to punish His Majesty.

Seeing that Qi Chu didn't speak, he bowed again: "Even if Xie Yu didn't kill the king, he is not innocent. Xie Yu used nepotism in the previous court all these years, suppressed dissidents, and blocked the way of speaking, so that the minister's injustice could not go to heaven. Listen, you are indeed a national thief who steals the power of the country! The old minister is here today to implore His Majesty to severely punish Xie Fai!!!”

After he finished speaking, Xie Xuan also echoed loudly: "The minister seconded the proposal! I implore Your Majesty to deal with Xie Fan!!!"

Qi Chu looked at Xie Yu, and there was no surprise on his face, as if he had expected it a long time ago!

He didn't seem to take Mu Kanggong's impeachment seriously at all, the half-smile smile on his lips remained the same, his eyes were fixed on Qi Chu, and he didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about how he would deal with it.

Qi Chu said: "Is there any evidence for what Duke Mu Kang said?"

Duke Mu Kang earnestly said: "Your Majesty, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are witnesses!"

Qi Chu looked down at him indifferently and said, "Since this is the case, there is no real evidence? Since there is no conclusive evidence, how can I impose punishments on the first-rank officials of the court for some unfounded things?"

Just as Qi Chu was about to reprimand him, he heard Xie Xuan step forward, walked all the way to the bottom of the imperial steps, looked directly at him and said: "I implore Your Majesty to take the side of the king and get rid of treacherous ministers!" ! !

Xie Xuan looked directly at the king when he spoke, and did not bow down...

Qi Chu turned cold, looked at Xie Xuan and said, "Do you want to rebel?"

As soon as the words fell, the door of Huangji Hall suddenly closed!

Xie Xuan looked directly at Qi Chu, and said again: "I implore Your Majesty to get rid of the traitors and kill Xie Fen!!!"

He looked directly at Qi Chu with a threatening look in his eyes.

Qi Chu: "..."

Xie Xuan is trying to force the palace?
