Your Highness asked me to pay him back his honor

In the palace, the inner court.

The old grand master Pang Gan sat on the side, the political counselor bowed his head and said nothing, and the privy envoys looked left and right, restless.

Jin Wu guarded outside Nuan Pavilion, Chang Ji came in, leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, the commanders of the guards and cavalry are kneeling outside the hall, begging to see the emperor."

The emperor leaned on the warm couch, upset for a while: "Tell him to kneel."

"Yes." Chang Ji hurriedly replied, hesitating for a while, "Master Gao said that it is very important to speak to the emperor..."

"What is the important matter? Is King Yan suspected of colluding with King Xiang's faction, or is King Yan intending to rebel and have evil intentions?"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "It's just that he gave out a palace secretary, and it's worth him chasing and biting a King Yan all day long!"

If Gao Jixun hadn't sworn a few days ago that he had obtained the evidence of Xiao Shuo's conspiracy, the emperor would not have ignored Xiao Shuo's request and ordered him to speak up in the palace.

But he didn't expect Xiao Shuo to overturn the case with clear reasons in such a certain situation.

The emperor had suppressed his anger for half a day, and said in a cold voice: "It's fine if you can figure out a trick! Now he's being heckled so much that he can't even say a word, what use is he for me, is he making things difficult for me?! "

Chang Ji didn't dare to say much, and lowered his head half-kneeling on the ground.

"According to what I see." The political advisor at the side suddenly said, "I'm afraid this matter may not be so simple."

The emperor suddenly turned his gaze away and frowned.

Shen Zhizheng sat upright, and said slowly: "According to King Yan's confession, the situation at that time was that the guards were chasing King Yan and the guards all the way, but the thief took advantage of the chaos and disappeared. As for whether he is dead or alive, did he get the thing?" , it is unclear."

"It's all about sticking to one's own opinion." The privy envoy frowned, "Only the people in the Yuying Pavilion knew the situation at that time, so King Yan can naturally say that..."

"Yes, the situation in the cabinet at that time was not clear to outsiders."

Shenzhi Zhengshi lowered his gaze: "Therefore, King Yan may have lied, and the Guards Department may have lied as well."

The privy envoy's heart sank slightly, and he sat upright, and he wanted to argue again, but the emperor said in a deep voice: "Tell me one by one!"

The chaos in the court these few days has already disturbed people's minds, and they feel that everything is strange and suspicious.Now there are only a few confidantes left, and they are still arguing endlessly.

The emperor suppressed his irritability, and glanced at Shen Zhishi: "According to what you said, there is a possibility that the bodyguard department is not clean?"

Shen Zhizheng was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The emperor must not forget about the Dali Temple."

The emperor was poked at the center of his headache, and his face suddenly sank, "The Minister of Dali Temple has been with the emperor for these years, and he can't see half a step wrong. In terms of mediocrity, in terms of Deer, it's just that the case is barely wrong, and no one will give birth Doubtful. If King Jing hadn’t said something carelessly that day, we would still have found nothing.”

"Looking back now, how much of the reports of the Dali Temple Minister's supervision of the censors and the impeachment of officials in the court over the years is true and how much is false?"

Shen Zhizheng said: "Inferring from this, people can't help but think how many people who were actually loyal to His Majesty in these years were either dispatched, exiled, or ruined in the hands of the hidden guards—"

"Okay!" The emperor interrupted sharply, pressing the center of his eyebrows, "This matter...don't need to be mentioned again."

The emperor's expression was gloomy, his eyes changed for a while, and he murmured in a low voice: "Secretary of Guards..."

The privy envoy sat on the side, seeing that the emperor was shaken, he couldn't help it any longer: "The deputy prime minister is talking about this matter today, just because he hates your student who was impeached by the minister of Dali Temple back then, and fell ill on the way to be assigned. What is the bodyguard doing?"

Gao Jixun is in charge of the bodyguard department, and he is a branch of the army.Today, the division of power in the military is inherently shaken, and it cannot withstand another change.

The privy envoy couldn't just sit back and watch, and said anxiously: "The bodyguard is loyal to the emperor, it's nothing more than ineffectiveness in doing things, it's worth the deputy prime minister's effort?!"

"To mention this matter is not to turn over old accounts."

Shenzhi Zhengshi's eyes sank, and then he suppressed everything: "It's just that the current situation of the Guard Division is really similar to that of Dali Temple, so there is no doubt about it."

"You blamed the bodyguard department simply because the peace talks with Rong Di skipped your political affairs hall."

The privy envoy gritted his teeth: "You and I have different political views, so just go straight to the privy council, why bother to involve the commander of the imperial army!"

Shen Zhizheng's expression was cold: "According to what your lord said, when you disagreed with the truth, you just came to the truth. Why do you want to associate with the minister of Dali Temple and frame the Zhengshitang?"

The privy envoy was turned pale by his refutation, and got up angrily: "You—"

"Shut up for me!"

The emperor sternly reprimanded: "When is it, all of them are still here to attack each other for old grudges and personal enmity!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I was suppressed so badly back then that it was difficult to find useful people, I wouldn't be in short supply today, and even outsiders would use it as an opportunity!"

The emperor couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and his tone was cold: "Only you few can barely use it, but now you are here with your own thoughts, biting non-stop..."

Shenzhizhengshi stopped talking, got up, knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.

The Privy Envoy still felt uneasy: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty—"

"Go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!" The emperor flicked his sleeves heavily, got up and went out, "Make your mind sober, and then talk again!"

"His Majesty!"

The privy envoy chased after a few steps, but couldn't catch up, and watched the emperor go out.

The privy envoy was anxious, and then looked at the old grand master Pang Gan who was sitting quietly, and said anxiously: "Grand master, the bodyguard and we have always been one, so why don't you say anything?!"

"say what?"

Pang Gan glanced at him, and said slowly: "Is the injury of King Yan fake, or is it fake that the bodyguard Si Chaoyan took action?"

The privy envoy was stunned by the question, unable to refute, he said urgently: "Even so, the Guards Department is definitely not from King Xiang's party! How can you allow such plain suspicion..."

Pang Gan got up: "The emperor is the most taboo of the protection of officials and officials. If you tell the guards a few more words, it's not just the guards who may belong to King Xiang's party."

The privy envoy stood still in a daze as if struck by lightning.

Pang Gan didn't say any more, supported by his servants, he walked out of the inner court slowly.

The privy envoy stood where he was, his face changed a few times, he still gritted his teeth and walked out quickly, got in the car and returned to the privy council.

In Prince Yan's mansion, Lord Qianguo sat in the study and drank a cup of tea.

"It's amazing."

Duke Qian put down his teacup: "Xiao Shuo went to the palace for trial, the one who was reprimanded was the bodyguard, and the one who was confinement became the counselor and privy envoy..."

Yun Lang held the medicine bowl and smiled: "It's not surprising."

Duke Qian glanced at the thickly wrapped Yunlang, and simply stuffed the stove in his hand: "What's going on? Tell Grandpa."

Yun Lang laughed, and kicked Xiao Shuo beside him: "Little Prince—"

"What he said was too polite to understand."

Lord Qianguo frowned: "When I heard him dragging words, I wanted to shake my fist. I don't know how his mother and Prince Duan's temper gave birth to such a nerd."

Xiao Shuo put down the teacup and was about to speak: "..."

Yun Lang coughed a few times, pressed the corners of his mouth, and stopped the pedantic prince Xiao: "A few years ago, the Privy Council's proposals were refuted by the Political Affairs Hall, and the two families became enmity because of this... just right At that time, the Privy Councilor had a good relationship with the Dali Temple Minister."

Back then when King Xiang supported the sixth prince, Yang Xianyou's identity was clear, but Dali Temple played a dark game.

The more mediocre and incompetent you are, the less you will notice.Relying on this, the minister of Dali Temple has been living comfortably under the eyes of the emperor for so many years.

In the past few years, according to King Xiang's instruction, the ministers of Dali Temple forged evidence and impeached many courtiers.Nowadays, officials in the DPRK and China are either incompetent or incompetent, or they are wise and safe, and they are probably inseparable from this matter.

Yun Lang tried his best to speak in a way that the old man could understand, and took a sip of the medicine: "Among the officials impeached, there is a student who is the most proud of his knowledge of political affairs."

"This old man knows about this." Lord Qianguo recalled, "Shen Zhizhengshi originally wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, but the two families have already accepted the invitation, so this man was impeached and convicted by Dali Temple, and sent out of Beijing. "

"Unfortunately, this person's life was short and died of illness on the way to distribution."

Yun Lang nodded: "Since then, Shenzhizhengshi has been at the same level as the Privy Council. Whatever happens, they have to criticize each other. The Guard Division is a faction in the army, and Shenzhizhengshi naturally refuses to let it go."

"But today, thanks to the little prince's calmness."

Yun Lang wanted to get some praise from the elders for Xiao Shuo, tugged at Xiao Shuo's sleeves, and said solemnly: "I took the pawn, and I didn't mess up when I was in danger, and then I smashed the bodyguard department..."

Duke Qian listened intently for a long while, and after roughly comprehending, he glanced at Xiao Shuo: "It's pretty promising."

Xiao Shuo was slightly stunned, and got up to thank him, but was kicked by Yun Lang's sharp legs, and sat back on the couch involuntarily.

Yun Lang was very proficient at this since he was a child, he stuffed the medicine bowl into Xiao Shuo's hand, and walked towards him with a smile: "You are so promising, you praise him."

"..." Xiao Shuo pressed the corner of his forehead, brought Yun Lang back, and said in a low voice, "No need."

Yun Lang turned a deaf ear, pulled people away, and pulled Duke Qian's robes: "He has not had an easy time these years. Grandpa, if you praise him, you can say that he has done a good job."

Lord Qianguo got used to this grandson, and Yun Lang made him uncomfortable for a while, and said forcefully: "What is there to brag about? He is the son of his parents, and he should—"

Yun Lang whispered: "Grandpa."

Duke Qian paused, looked at Xiao Shuo's brows that resembled Princess Duan, stayed silent for a while, and stretched out his hand.

Yun Lang was used to watching Xiao Shuo being beaten, so he subconsciously pushed the edge of the couch and stopped Xiao Shuo.

Duke Qian: "..."

Yun Lang: "..."

"The old man wants to pat him on the shoulder!"

Lord Qianguo was annoyed for a while: "Could it be that every time the old man raises his hand, he wants to beat him? Obviously—"

Lord Qianguo paused for a while, and it was rare for him to reflect for a while, and he was a little surprised: "Why does the old man raise his hand every time to beat him?"

Yun Lang thought in his heart that King Duan probably had this question in his mind back then, coughed, moved a little bit, and moved half of his body away.

It is rare for Lord Qianguo to look back and think about it like this. At this moment, he felt that he was indeed too harsh. He looked at Xiao Shuo for a long time and said, "The old man is so harsh, why don't you know how to say it?"

Xiao Shuo had been reprimanded for these years, and he felt that he was used to it, but he didn't want Fu Yunlang's kindness, so he bowed his head and said: "Grandfather has expectations for his grandson, so naturally he has strict requirements, how dare he complain."

"How dare you complain." Duke Qian frowned, "One day you dare to complain?"

Xiao Shuo: "..."

Yun Lang's good intentions are good, if his grandfather gets angry and beats him up, it will inevitably affect the innocent General Yun.

Without a trace, Xiao Shuo got a little further away from Yunlang, stood up and confessed: "Grandfather—"

Before the words were finished, Duke Qian came over, put his arms around his shoulders, and slowly patted him twice.

Xiao Shuo suddenly stopped talking, and was stunned in place.

He had always been unfamiliar with these things, and he didn't think it was necessary. He had only been slapped twice at this time, but suddenly there were some very strange feelings in his chest.

Duke Qian was tall and tall, standing in front of Xiao Shuo, looked at him quietly, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa knows."

Xiao Shuo's shoulders trembled slightly, and he hastily closed his eyes.

Duke Qian couldn't say anything more after all, so he took a deep look at him, stopped talking, and hurried out of the study.

The room is quiet and there is no wind and snow.

Xiao Shuo remained silent for a long time before he finally suppressed all his emotions and went back to the bed. Major General Zhaoyun knocked loudly on the forehead.

Yun Lang was holding his own small medicine bowl, looking at it with enthusiasm, and was inexplicable for a moment: "Why hit me?!"

"Hit you to watch the fun." Xiao Shuo said, "You should sleep on the couch now, it's fine if you don't sleep, you should rest in peace and recuperate, what are you wasting your time on?"

It was rare for Yun Lang to see Xiao Xiao Wang Ye becoming angry from embarrassment, holding a bowl, and exclaiming in amazement: "Hey."

Xiao Shuo: "..."

Yunlang now has no inner strength to protect his body, and there is nowhere to attack.Xiao Shuo suppressed his temper, took the medicine bowl, and put a spoonful to his lips.

Boss Yunlang was reluctant: "Try it, put a few carts of Coptis chinensis."

"Good medicine tastes bitter." Xiao Shuo said, "If you procrastinate like this, it will be even more bitter when it cools down."

Yun Lang naturally knew that just drinking it spoon by spoon would be like torture, so he grabbed it with all his heart and drank it down with a straight neck.

Xiao Shuo took him over, touched a candied date from the brocade box in front of the couch, and stuffed it into Yun Lang's mouth.He sealed his mouth neatly with one hand, and pressed the acupoint in his throat with the other to help Yun Lang swallow the medicine firmly.

Yun Lang had candied dates in his mouth, and was filled with medicine by Master Xiao's practice, and his mood was complicated: "..."

Xiao Shuo waited for him to swallow everything, then let go of his hand: "What's wrong?"

Yun Lang wanted to bite him: "You fed me medicine like this back then, and you still feed me like this now?"

"I tried many methods at the beginning, and this one is the best."

Xiao Shuo got up and went to pour tea for him: "What's the difference now? After all, licorice was added to the medicine, and the master had spent a whole day with Liang Taiji."

Yun Lang was talking nonsense, the story books were all mouth-to-mouth feeding, and after the feeding, he had to kiss for a while, and each of them ate half a candy.

After all, Duke Qian had only left the house not long ago, and he was in the study during the day, Yun Lang was embarrassed to say that after all, he sat there for a long while, blushing, and angrily swallowed the remaining half of a candied date.

"I haven't asked you, what's the matter with inviting grandpa?"

Xiao Shuo brought the tea back, blew on it, and tried hot or cold by himself: "I just forgot to stop it, if you want, I'll go get it again."

"It's nothing." Yun Lang felt uncomfortable thinking about it to himself, and slapped his face, "Just come here for a while."

After pondering for a while, Xiao Shuo understood the reason: "You are more thoughtful than I am. Now that I am seriously injured to the outside world, my grandfather really shouldn't come here often."

"What is more thoughtful than you."

Yun Lang laughed: "I didn't even think about what happened to you today, against the guards."

Yun Lang already knew about the court affairs.The case of Yuying Pavilion has completely disturbed the stagnant water in the capital, and all parties are trying to figure out the situation in the pavilion, so it is inevitable that suspicion will arise.

If you can seize the opportunity, you can even make things worse for both of them.

"It's a pity that Mr. Gao is really not smart."

Yun Lang had dealt with Gao Jixun a few times, so he knew a little about this person, so he took a sip of the tea and said, "Like Dali Siqing, you can still be regarded as wise and stupid, Mr. Gao can even save the first three words..."

Yun Lang said: "The reason why the emperor doesn't suspect him is nothing more than this. If you want to trick him, you have to be careful, don't make things too clever, and reveal your flaws."

Xiao Shuo nodded: "I know."

Today, Chang Ji reminded him suddenly that he had made preparations for the next step when he confronted the guards in the hall.

The forces of all parties gathered together, and the officials of the DPRK and China each had their own selfish intentions, and so far the chaos has become complete.

Even if Gao Jixun was unwilling, after this incident, he would fall hard.

As for the rest, after this time, according to Yun Lang's injuries, they will be settled one by one.

Xiao Shuo didn't want to talk more about this with Yun Lang, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, got up and said, "You should rest, go back to the inner room and sleep for a while."

"By the way, after the next court, is Mr. Yang Ge coming to stop you?"

Yun Lang was still not sleepy, and he thought of something again: "What did you say, how did you deal with it?"

Xiao Shuo sat quietly for a moment, then shook his head: "I didn't say anything."

"How could it be?" Yun Lang asked Kaifeng Yin specifically, "This Yangge old thief is very good, let him speak out everything, loyal to the emperor, serve the country, serve the government and the people, let him pick out flaws in everything you say."

Yun Lang was curious: "Are you serving the country or the people?"

Xiao Shuo: "..."

"Talk about it." Yun Lang was kind, and leaned closer to Xiao Xiao Wangye, "Kaifeng Yin is getting bored to death, tell him to learn too."

"..." Xiao Shuo picked up Yun Lang and put him on the couch: "Is there any medicine left today?"

"What?" Yun Lang was taken aback for a moment, "I've finished drinking, and now I can take bitterness outside..."

Xiao Shuo collected himself: "Drink another bowl."

Yun Lang: "?"

Xiao Shuo went out and asked for a bowl of medicine to invigorate Qi and soothe the nerves, brought it back and put it beside the couch.

"It's very good, why do you have another bowl?"

Yun Lang was extra vigilant: "I don't want to drink, you can tell Mr. Yang Ge—"

Xiao Shuo's shoulders tensed, his ears felt warm, he took a mouthful of the medicine, and kissed Yunlang's lips.

Yun Lang: "??"

Xiao Xiaowang lowered his eyes, resting on Yunlang's forehead, every step was very careful, he took the medicine so that it was not hot, and fed Yunlang to swallow it little by little.

The medicine for calming the nerves is not that bitter, a little bit of bitterness blooms on the tip of the tongue, and a light touch blows away the heat.

Yun Lang had never experienced such a method of feeding medicine, and after tasting it carefully, he felt wet and soft, soft and lingering, his heart panicked, and he suddenly felt bad: "Wait..."

Xiao Shuo hugged his head and neck, moved back slightly, took a candy, and slowly bit off half of it.

Yun Lang felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, pressed his heart, and shook his head: "No, no, no."

Xiao Shuo fell silent, and put his arms around his shoulders: "What else do you want to ask?"

Yun Lang has a good memory since he was a child, he felt hot all over his body, and was dizzy and chaotic: "I will go to court today, Mr. Yang Ge..."

Xiao Shuo was silent for a moment, then sighed lightly.

Yun Lang: "???"

With sugar in his mouth, Xiao Shuo hugged General Yun's shoulders.It was also the first time for him to do these things, and the back of his ears was also hot, he closed his eyes and bent his mind, and lightly bit the tip of Yunlang's tongue.

A small pain, almost tingling, mixed with sweetness, twisted and pulled upwards like an electric current.

There was a sudden boil in the chest, and the heat was clearly steaming.

Yun Lang snorted, and melted into a puddle, dripping down Xiao Shuo's arm.

Xiao Shuo hugged him and said in a low voice, "Mr. Yang Ge—"

Yun Lang was dying: "Who is Mr. Yang Ge?"

Xiao Shuo stroked Fu Yunlang's back, fed half a candy to General Yun, picked him up, and sent him back to the inner room.
