[Comprehensive Martial Arts+Red Mansion] National Master Wushuang

The carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and the two got out of the carriage. At this time, Chen Xiang’s face was full of joy. He seemed to have seen the beautiful scene that he had planned to realize at that time, but this kind of good mood was presented by his ineffective son During the gift at the end of the month, it disappeared all of a sudden.

"What is this!" Xiang Chen was furious. If he hadn't only had such a son under his knees, the position would have to be passed on to him in the future.

With a shy face, Chen Geng said obsequiously: "Father, this is a dragon robe I ordered from someone. Don't worry, I have already eliminated the relevant people. I will not know it, and no one will know about it. .”

On the black dark silk cloth on the table stood a set of dragon robes that should not have appeared here. The golden light was so eye-catching even in the dim light of the room, and the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it was even more eye-catching. It was so lifelike, as if it would jump out of the dragon robe and fly away in the next moment.

Chen Xiang almost lost his anger, and slapped the table angrily, "Who made you so troublesome!"

"Father!" Chen Geng shouted with some displeasure, "I also mean it well, why are you so angry! Besides, even if the little emperor knows, he can only turn a blind eye anyway."

These words are indeed rough and unreasonable, but the more it is at this critical moment, the more cautious and cautious it is. Chen Xiang has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and he can be said to be old and refined, so he understands this truth even more.

Chen Xiang covered his head with his hands, and felt his headache was about to split. He was so cautious, and he did not raise his troops for a while to seize the court and usurp the throne, just because he was afraid of that unfortunate event.He had heard in the past that the royal family enshrined a grand master, although this rumor has not been confirmed, but there must be a reason for it, if not, why would he make a deal with this person Xiongba.

After heaving a long sigh in his heart, Chen Xiang gave his ineffective son a hard look, and wrapped the dragon robe on the table, "Does anyone else know about you?"

Chen Geng was stunned, thinking of the tender and soft jade beauty, hesitated for a moment before saying: "No one else knows, the child always does things without leaving any trouble, dad, you don't have to worry about it." He said this very confidently If Chen Xiang paid attention to his expression at this moment, he would definitely find something strange.

But Chen Xiang was furious at this time, and being able to hold back his anger was already his limit, and he had no other thoughts to pay attention to other things, so Chen Geng's clumsy lie was not seen through.

Chen Xiang pursed his lips, "I'm rotten about this matter, if I find out and you spread the matter, don't blame me for disregarding your mother's affection who has been dead for many years, because you are my only one." son, I will still beat him."

Hearing Chen Xiang's words, Chen Geng realized how angry he was and how much trouble he had caused. Over the years, Chen Geng had caused countless disasters, big or small, but he had never said such a serious word.

Chen Geng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Chen Xiang had already put away the dragon robe. Although the dragon robe did not come at the right time, it was the painstaking effort of his son. Although Chen Xiang was furious, he was only angry. It is reckless.

"Father," Chen Geng's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that Rue Xiang's suggestion was right, and Father still liked the birthday gift.

"Shut up, you don't go out these few days, so as not to cause trouble for me!" Chen Xiang shouted in a low voice, the anger between his brows and eyes has not dissipated, but Chen Geng said that he deserved it, but in fact he was thinking about other ideas .

Inside the Qintianjian, all the officials were gathering together, they were discussing something in low voices, they all looked sad, and they were not as comfortable as they used to be. They watched Vice Chancellor Chen walk out of it. , several Lingtai Lang hurried up.

"Vice Supervisor, how can this matter be resolved?" He Lingtai Lang frowned, this kind of thing is outrageous, a little careless, but it is a serious crime that implicates the entire family!

Vice Chancellor Chen's face was ashamed, thinking of what the supervisor said just now, his face became paler and paler. What happened to these petty officials? The lives of their family members are all in the hands of Prime Minister Chen, and there are secret supervision when they go in and out. Let alone telling His Majesty about this matter secretly, maybe the head has already fallen to the ground before he walked out of the Qin Tianjian.

Seeing Deputy Supervisor Chen's expression, several Lingtai Lang and Bao Zhang also changed their expressions. Everyone looked at each other, but couldn't think of any way to stop this from happening.

"In my opinion, Prime Minister Chen may not be bad. Your Majesty is obsessed with masculinity all day long. Sooner or later, the great country will be ruined..." I don't know whether it is self-consolation or forgiving other officials who are bereaved.

He hadn't finished speaking yet, but he was already speechless after being stared at fiercely by everyone.From this point of view, Chen Xiang has never remarried since the death of his wife in the mansion. He is indeed a model for all officials.

"Alas! At the beginning, I thought that although the supervisor was promoted by Prime Minister Chen, he was still a loyal minister. I didn't think he would come up with such a poisonous plan. He really knows people, knows his face, but doesn't know his heart!"

And Zhen Po, who was regarded by everyone as Chen Xiang's minion, was eavesdropping on everyone's words with a smile on the corner of his mouth at this time. In fact, he could not be said to be eavesdropping. The sound can be heard clearly without deliberately listening.

Zhen Yu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at it from the perspective of the Qin Tianjian, it seems that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are not all on the side of Chen Xiang. The paralysis, even if there is Kai Enke, who can replenish talents in time, it will not be able to fill all the vacancies.

After a little relief in his heart, Zhen Shen looked at the memorial in his hand, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

In the early morning of this day, the whole hall was filled with an atmosphere of rain and wind, and everyone was worried. Although they didn't know why this atmosphere came up, they were too frightened to say a word.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair still had a gloomy expression on his face, and he didn't know when he fell asleep last night. Some upright officials couldn't help but secretly worried about the issue of heirs. It would be a disaster if he favored a certain woman in the harem, as the rumors said.

Wu Feide shouted at the top of his voice: "If you have something to play, you have nothing to do."

All the officials were silent, just when everyone thought that today was going back to the court as usual, suddenly a voice came from behind, "I have something to announce!"

These words exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt, and everyone couldn't help but look back. Many people didn't even know who the person who spoke was, so they couldn't help whispering and asking about the official position of this person.

After finding out that this person was Qin Tianjian, who was recommended by Chen Xiang, the faces of the upright officials, especially Xu Zhishu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, darkened in a blink of an eye, thinking to himself, what the hell did Xiang Chen think of? come out.

At this time, several members of Chen Xiang's faction exchanged glances, and they will have to perform well in the next scene, so that they can take credit for it in the future.

Chen Xiang's eyebrows and eyes showed a hint of joy, but he quickly suppressed the joy easily.

"What's the matter with the supervisor?" The emperor said impatiently as usual, but he clenched his hand hidden in his sleeve unconsciously.

"The ministers watched the sky last night and found that there was a demon star around the Ziwei star, and there was a hint of disobedience." Zhen Po said calmly, as if he didn't realize how shocking he was saying.

The demon star is alive!There was a look of surprise in the eyes of all the officials, and many people turned their attention to Chen Xiang. Isn't this exactly the same as the dream that the imperial concubine had a few days ago?It's just that this prison is not Chen Xiang's person?How could he do such a thing as betraying Chen Xiang?

At this time, everyone had already acquiesced that the demon star was Chen Xiang, except for a few people from Chen Xiang's faction.

"Your Majesty, since Jianzheng and others have discovered the demon star, this matter is no small matter, it needs to be thoroughly investigated!" Chen Xiang stood up unexpectedly and said.

Xu Zhishu and other upright officials were stunned, what did Prime Minister Chen mean by that?Xu Zhishu's right eyelid twitched, and he felt a gust of cold wind blowing, which was icy cold to the bones, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Demon star? Jianzheng, are you joking?" The emperor said with a haha, his face full of disapproval.

"No, I don't dare to make jokes about Jiangshan Sheji. I have also found out who the demon star is, and implore your majesty to capture the demon star so that it will not harm Daqi Jiangshan." Zhen Po lowered his head, with an unpredictable expression on his face At this time, everyone became more and more confused. Where did the prisoner stand? He dared to confront Chen in front of civil and military officials. Could it be that he was so loyal!

Chen Xiang looked calm and unmoved.

Xu Zhishu glanced at him, snorted disdainfully, and stood in line, "Your Majesty, what the supervisor said is related to the country, and I ask your majesty to arrest that demon star, so as not to damage the imperial court."

Many members of Chen Xiang's faction showed surprise on their faces. It can be seen that Chen Xiang didn't move at all, and doubts arose in his heart. Chen Xiang is not the kind of person who will be arrested without a fight. Abnormal.

"Your Majesty, the theory of the demon star is not credible. If the courtiers are convicted by this, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the scholars in the world. This case must not be opened!" Xu Liangli, the Chancellor of Zhan Shifu, stood up and retorted.

Zhen Po was startled for a moment, but soon realized that Chen Xiang did not tell his third son-in-law about this matter. He was really treacherous and cunning. But if you don't tell him the truth, you can use him to prove Chen Xiang's innocence, but it's a pity that no one may believe his innocence!

"Xu Fucheng's words are wrong. If the demon star is present in this world, if you don't take advantage of it and kill it in time, and cause disasters in the future, who will bear the responsibility? Xu Fucheng is only a small official of the sixth rank, so I'm afraid he can't bear it! "Xu Zhishu glanced at him contemptuously, and even the deaf could hear the sarcasm inside and outside the words.

"This, this official is a small mansion, but he also knows the fearsome truth of people's words. Isn't it absurd to murder courtiers on the grounds of demon stars!" He smiled a little, and looked at Chen Xiang's face, it was really a little green.

The emperor watched the two quarreling coldly. The upright officials seemed to recognize that the demon star was Chen Xiang, and planned to take this opportunity to get rid of Chen Xiang quickly, but if Chen Xiang could be removed so easily, why would the emperor hold back? to date!

Kneading his brows, his impatience was evident, a trace of fatigue flashed across his handsome face, the emperor interrupted the dispute, "Since the supervisor said he already knew who the demon star was, why didn't he just say so?"

As soon as everyone heard this, their eyes fell on Zhen Xi who hadn't spoken again since just now.

Xu Liangli hated inwardly, how could he be fooled by lard and recommend this villain to Chen Xiang, but now he is undoubtedly luring a wolf into the house and shooting himself in the foot.

Xu Zhishu and other upright officials couldn't help showing a smile on their faces. This smile is so dazzling in the eyes of Xu Liangli and others at this moment!

"Yes, supervisor, you might as well just say it directly, you don't have to worry, even if the demon star is an important minister of the court, your majesty will definitely keep you safe." Chen Xiang said with a light smile, Xu Zhishu listened to his words, and suddenly snapped She shivered, and a chill ran down her spine.

Zhen Po hesitated for a while, and then said word by word: "Your Majesty, the demon star is not someone else, but Master Xu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Zhen Bo who said these words with surprised eyes, even Xu Liangli had an obviously surprised expression on his face, with an expression of disbelief.

"Nonsense!" Xu Zhishu quickly realized that he had just thought that the prisoner was a loyal courtier who dared to stand up and dismount that traitor, so he was here waiting for him!

"Your Majesty, I have been in the court for many years and have been working hard so far. Not to mention that it is for the purpose of disrupting the government. The officials under my command have made mistakes, and I have never been severely punished. How could it be that demon star? Your Majesty, please look into it!" Xu Zhishu's mind was spinning. Hurry up, this prisoner is afraid that under the instigation of Chen Xiang, he intentionally wronged himself and pulled himself off the horse, firstly to kill the chickens and monkeys, and secondly to get off the horse himself, then no one in Chen Xiang's court would dare to oppose him again.

The emperor frowned, his expression displeased, "The supervisor is talking nonsense, Mr. Xu is the pillar of the imperial court. When the first emperor was still alive, he had praised him many times for his righteousness and his heart. How can he be a demon star!"

"Your Majesty," Dali Temple Minister Ye Ang stood in the line, "I have recently received a lawsuit. It is the people in the suburbs of Beijing suing Master Xu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, for allowing his servants to abduct the women of the people, and then killing the whole family of the women. Silence. Luckily, the Skynet is not leaking, there is a neighbor who is not afraid of power and risked his life to come to Dali Temple to sue Lord Xu, Minister of Rites!"

"Nonsense! What a bunch of nonsense!" Xu Zhishu blew his beard and stared at him angrily, Ye Ang could actually tell such nonsense!

"Lord Ye, you have to pay attention to evidence in everything. As the minister of Dali Temple, don't tell me you don't understand this truth?" Someone from the upright officials stood up and refuted.

There was a cold smile in Chen Xiang's eyes, Wu Feide caught it inadvertently, his body trembled in fright, he didn't dare to raise his head, he thought to himself that this Chen Xiang was really vicious, he should respect him in the future, lest He ended up in the same end as Huang Liren, who was ignorant of current affairs.

"I understand this truth, I implore Your Majesty to send the person who sued and Mr. Xu's servants to the hall, and let you make a decision, so that no one will say that I have slandered Mr. Xu." Ye Ang bowed his hands.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ye is right. Xu Fucheng also said just now that it may be difficult to convince the public to convict a demon star. If Lord Ye's words are true, Lord Xu will not be able to escape the blame and prevent the world from discussing the government." Chen Xiang stood up at this time, and said with a final word.

Xu Zhishu thought in his heart that it was not good, he was an upright official, but he was not stupid, otherwise he would not have climbed to the position of Minister of Rites. Hearing Chen Xiang's words, he knew that the so-called servant and the neighbor had already been bribed, [-]% He also made a confession, just waiting for himself to fall into the trap of this traitor.

However, I have nothing to do, I just hope that His Majesty can see through everyone's tricks and return my innocence.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhishu couldn't help looking up at the emperor expectantly. The emperor seemed to be suspicious, and looked at Xu Zhishu with a frown, with guilt in his eyes.

Before Xu Zhishu could understand why this sense of guilt came from, the emperor had already nodded, "I'm sure."

This less than a quarter of an hour was longer than a year for Xu Zhishu. The faces of the upright officials all showed worried expressions, while most of the Chen Xiang's were overjoyed.

"Grass, grass people see Your Majesty." The two people who were led into the hall by the guards knelt down and kowtowed one after the other.

From the clothes alone, it is not difficult to judge which is Master Xu's servant and which is the neighbor who sued Master Xu.

Xu Zhishu quickly recognized the servant who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and he was furious, "Your Majesty, although this servant is a servant of my house, he has already been kicked out for stealing. It has nothing to do with the subject, not to mention that this person is cunning and his words are unbelievable!"

"Master Xu," Ye Ang said with a long ending, "what you said is unreasonable. According to what Master Xu said, if an official orders a servant to commit murder, and then drives him out of the house afterwards, it will be difficult The official can use this as an excuse to avoid criminal responsibility?!"

Xu Zhishu's eyes were bloodshot with anger, and his hands trembled.

"Master Ye's words are very true. The old minister has heard about this matter before, but he can't believe that with Master Xu's character, he would allow his servants to do such outrageous things, but now that he heard Master Xu's words, The old minister is somewhat convinced!" Chen Xiang showed a contemptuous look on his face, as if he disdained Xu Zhishu's actions.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter. If I know about this matter, I will definitely send these evil servants to Dali Temple. I hope your Majesty will learn from you!" Xu Zhishu said with tears in his eyes.

At this time, all the upright officials in the court also knelt and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has been an official for many years, and he has always been strict with himself. He can never be a demon star, let alone allow his servants to slaughter the people. Please learn from your majesty! "

The sound of "beep beep beep" kowtow echoed in the hall, and Chen Pang and his face were cold, looking at the many officials who were kneeling, their faces were as gloomy as water.

Chen Xiang looked at the emperor's face, even though the last time the emperor bestowed Tianshan snow lotus and severely punished Huang Liren for his rude words, Chen Xiang did not fully believe that the emperor had surrendered.

The emperor's complexion was not much better than Chen's. Even if he knew that what he did today was just to numb Chen Xiang, Mr. Xu would suffer from flesh and blood at most, but this feeling of aggrieved made him clenched his teeth tightly. Toothless, in the past Zhao Gao called a deer a horse and left a bad reputation for thousands of years. If Chen Xiang cannot be eradicated in the future, I am afraid that what happened today will be scolded by future generations.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. The emperor closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were determined, "Dali Siqing!"

"The minister is here!" Ye Ang replied neatly, a cruel smile appeared between his brows and his mouth.

Xu Zhishu's body went limp, and he completely collapsed on the ground. He knew that no matter how much he said, it would be futile. How could the emperor confront that Chen for himself!

"While you and the supervisor are supervising this case, remember not to bend the law for personal gain!" After saying this, the emperor closed his eyes unbearably, raised his hand, and said, "Come here, pull Master Xu down."

"Your Majesty!" The faces of the upright officials were as sad as concubines, and some of them were so excited that they even burst into tears!

What does Xu Zhishu's loss of power mean? Even the most stupid officials know that without Xu Zhishu in the court, the upright officials would be like a mess. Support is like losing a dagger, there is no room for speech in the government.

But only when Mr. Xu goes down, and the faction of upright officials is hit, can they be put to death and survived. Only in this way, Chen Xiang can completely believe that the emperor has lost the will to resist, and he will be at ease, and once he is at ease, he will definitely show his flaws Come, it will be his time of death!

Xu Zhishuhao didn't resist, even if he resisted, it would be of no use. His Highness's bodyguards are not for nothing, not to mention that he is ashamed and has no fighting spirit at this moment. He stares at Zhen Po and Chen Xiang fiercely. If he killed someone, then the two of them would probably have a thousand holes in their bodies at this time.
