Thank you sir, he is still outputting!

Xie Zhao should have gone to jail.

Knowing that Xie Zhao's imperial horse prevented the late emperor and the late crown prince from entering the mausoleum that day, and even wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy in front of civil and military officials, the young queen mother was furious, broke a cup of tea in her hand, and died immediately. People around him ordered Xie Zhao to be arrested and imprisoned.

"Bold! This Xie Zhao is bullying our orphans and widows, so he dares to do such a thing!"

The empress dowager of Dayu, who is now more than tens of millions of people, has tears in her eyelashes and a sickly face. Even when she is angry, she is somewhat delicate: "If my father knows it, I will definitely feel sorry for my kindness. Pigs and dogs... The prince praised Xie Zhao at the beginning, how could he know that he is such a bastard, it is really in vain that the prince promoted him."

The prince's promotion of Xie Zhao?

Lin Ying savored this sentence with some playfulness, and couldn't help but sneered from the bottom of his heart.I don't know where the prince promoted Xie Zhao before?The new Empress Dowager came as soon as she opened her mouth, speaking angrily, as if Xie Zhao had indeed received great favors.

Even if he has received favors, it was not given by the first prince.

He was disdainful from the bottom of his heart, but he covered up all his emotions on his face, so that no one could see any tricks.

Lin Zheng looked away, and said lightly: "I know that the empress dowager and the first prince are deeply in love, so they are so resentful. But Xie Zhao is the number one scholar handpicked by the first emperor, so it is not unimportant to the first emperor. What's more, Xie Zhao is a censor. , should have been admonishing directly, saying that ordinary people can't say, the words of opening the coffin were just blurted out in a hurry, and there was no intention of offense, I beg the Queen Mother not to blame."

His eyes were deep and calm: "I hope the Empress Dowager will not bring up the matter of letting Xie Zhao go to prison—if a censor is bold and suspicious and will go to prison, then what is the use of the censor platform? Why should it exist in the matter? When the emperor was here, he didn’t send any censors who advised him, so it’s possible that just after the former emperor left, you are going to destroy the rule that Dayu’s crimes are not as good as the words of officials, the Queen Mother?”

Speaker!Speaker!This group of eloquent speech officials is lawless!

The young empress dowager almost gritted her silver teeth, but her chest was heaving up and down, she still tightly clenched the armrest beside her, and forced a smile: "I was just angry for a while, and I just said something angry, my lords don't Take it to heart."

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at Xu Yixin, who looked calm, her voice couldn't help but became more steady, and there was a smile on her face.

The woman with the highest status today raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Pei Shaonan who was standing silently behind several ministers: "I heard that Mr. Pei and Mr. Xie knew each other when they were young, and both of them are talented champions. , Master Xie must be able to listen to what Master Pei said, right?"

Pei Shaonan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.

His throat moved slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a woman's gentle but unquestionable words from above: "In this case, please ask Mr. Pei to untie it and thank you sir. The past is unrecoverable, and people still have to go Looking ahead, how can we devote ourselves to earning a bright future if we are blindly immersed in the past?"

She asked: "Master Pei, do you think this is the reason?"

Pei Shaonan didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

He didn't seem to hear the wit in the Empress Dowager's words, he just nodded and said: "I will keep in mind what the Empress Dowager entrusts."

Pei Shulin heard his son's answer from the front, and couldn't help saying hello to himself.

These words were impeccable, they did not follow the Queen Mother's words, on the contrary, they were neither soft nor hard, and people could not argue with them, but it was not easy to continue to force him to make any promises.

The former crown princess who had just been promoted to empress dowager couldn't hold back her face.

She thought resentfully, all the officials in the capital are really good people.Leaving aside Xu Yixin and Lin Zheng, who have become fine old foxes, and Pei Shaonan, a young official who has just entered the officialdom for only a few years, she can't handle it as she wants.

This queen mother is really frustrating.

Thinking of this, she sat lazily on her seat and waved her hand casually: "I'm tired, all adults should also step back."

He Fangang wanted to ask Cheng Wang, who was still squatting in the prison, what to do with him, but when he was about to move, he was held back by Dou Shun.

Mr. He, who had been enduring his violent temper for the past few days, felt uncomfortable. After glaring at Dou Shun, he finally shut up sullenly.After he got out of the hall, he curled his lips and asked Dou Shun: "According to Master Dou, can we change the name of Yushitai? I think the name of Timid and Afraid of Trouble is good, what do you think?"

Being run over by Mr. He, Mr. Yu Shi was not only not angry, but echoed: "This is a good name." He changed his tone, "But it is still not good enough to be worthy of a good official with boundless courage like Mr. He. "

The corner of He Fang's lips curled up, he glanced at him, and sneered: "The one with real courage almost went to jail."

Looking at the silent Dou Shun, he suddenly sighed and said softly: "Lord Dou, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, but is it really right for Yushitai to be overly cautious? Life is valuable, but some things are more valuable than others." Life is more important, and those things are the reason and significance of Yushitai's existence."

He patted Dou Shun's hand and snorted: "We have traveled so many years longer than others, and we have eaten so many years of salt. In the end, we have to go ahead with a junior. You don't think it's embarrassing, but I'm ashamed .”

It's really embarrassing enough.

Dou Shun let out a long breath, as if he wanted to completely expel the depression from his chest: "He Fang, I am not as good as you." He smiled wryly: "I am still a smart person in vain, but in the end I am still self-righteous."

He Fangdao: "The authorities are just confused, you and I are both in the chess game, who can escape."

Speaking of this, the two couldn't help being relatively silent, and the atmosphere became dull for a while.

On the other side, Pei Shaonan followed the little eunuch who led the way to a courtyard in the palace.Pushing open the door and seeing Xie Zhao lost in thought by the window lattice, he was momentarily stunned: "It's the first time I've seen you dressed so plainly."

Xie Zhao was dressed in white at this time, his face was white and his clothes were white, Pei Shaonan looked at his dull expression, and couldn't say anything for a moment.

After a while, I asked: "...the clothes prepared for you by the palace?"

"That's the one."

Xie Zhao lowered his head and glanced at his plain clothes, smiled faintly but sarcastically: "Someone brought me to this remote courtyard, and hurriedly prepared this clothes for me, I have to send someone to see me personally Just put it on and rest assured. They really underestimated me."

Can you change your position by changing your clothes?

Naive.

Pei Shaonan didn't want to talk to him about this, so he stared at him for a long while and asked suddenly: "I rarely see you wearing white clothes."

Xie Zhaohui: "Naturally because I don't like wearing less."

He said: "If possible, I hope that I will never wear clothes of this color again in my life-unfortunately, this is also a hope. I thought this way in front of my grandfather's tablet a few years ago. I didn't expect to go around a few times. I still wear it after a year."

Pei Shaonan looked at Xie Zhao, feeling sore in his heart.The family is a responsibility to him, and he shoulders all of this. Although he is sometimes tired, he is still happy.

But Xie Zhao couldn't even taste such tiredness.

Being alone sounds like the wind and freedom, but is being alone really what he wants?

Pei Shaonan held Xie Zhao's shoulder: "Azhao..."

Xie Zhao smiled and took his heart.

He cheered up and said to Pei Shaonan: "I thought that I would not be able to get out of the palace for ten days and a half months. I didn't expect the princess to let me go."

Pei Shaonan reminded him: "It's not the princess, it's the queen mother."

The smile on Xie Zhao's face faded, and he looked even more tired: "Well, it's the Queen Mother."

Pei Shaonan sighed softly, and slowly explained the ins and outs: "The Empress Dowager planned to let you go to prison to suffer some hardships. After all, your words and deeds are indeed out of line. But father, Lord Lin, and Master Dou He of Yushitai I got the news very soon, and went to the palace to dissuade the queen mother, and this saved you from being imprisoned."

Xie Zhao quickly realized what the language of their persuasion could be.

His mind moved, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he asked: "Is the queen mother concerned about my status as a censor?"

Pei Shaonan nodded: "The censor cannot be disposed of at will. This is the rule of Dayu for many years, so naturally it cannot be broken at will."

Xie Zhao felt the absurdity was so ridiculous: "It's true that success is an official, and defeat is an official." He joked: "Pei Xiaoyi, do you believe that I will leave Yushitai soon after the matter of becoming king is settled?"

The corner of his lips twitched: "I'm hopeful for promotion..."

There was no joy in this smile, only indescribable helplessness.

He is no longer a speech officer, so there are naturally ways to rectify it.If the Empress Dowager or Xu Yixin really wanted to attack Xie Zhao, the best way was to think of a reason for him to leave Yushitai and get rid of his status as a speaker.

To find out Xie Zhao's fault and let him leave Yushitai, Lin Zheng, Dou Shun and others stopped him; but if Xie Zhao was to be promoted, these people would always relax their stance and think twice.

Pei Shaonan whispered: "Xie Zhao, no matter what you do, don't forget to protect yourself and leave yourself a way out. Being too sharp is not a good thing."

He patiently analyzed the current situation with Xie Zhao, and his voice was low: "The new emperor is young, and before he grows up, the queen mother will naturally take part of the power... The one who has not yet secured his position is just trying to make an example of others. When standing up, you should be more careful, if you do too much, you will often make people fall into trouble."

"Out of line? Didn't I do enough out of line today?"

Xie Zhao got up, his eyes clear, and he was handsome and unruly: "I will let that person know whether it is better to kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys, or sit and watch the tigers fight. It is more comfortable for a chicken, a monkey or a tiger. A smart person can naturally tell."

Pei Shaonan was stunned, and asked after a while, "Then what do you think you are?"

Xie Zhao smiled casually, with firm eyes: "I am nothing——I am just Xie Zhao, Yushi Xie Zhao."

A censor, that's all.

The wind is cold and the night is late, and the air in the frontier is dry.

The handsome young general touched his somewhat rough skin, and stretched out his hand to open the urgent express mail from the capital.The words that can be arranged on the paper are obviously familiar, but the meaning revealed is so strange that it is shocking.

Liao Qingfeng closed his eyes and opened them again, looking at the words on the paper with some difficulty under the candlelight.

"King Cheng... Your Majesty... Xie Zhao!"

The hand holding the letter paper suddenly exerted force, so the letter paper that was neat just now became crumpled instantly, and the neat font on the paper was instantly distorted.

Liao Qingfeng stood up abruptly, and said anxiously: "Prepare the horses and return to Beijing immediately!"

He didn't realize what he said until he saw the stunned face of his subordinates, and his face turned red and black: he is no longer the little Jinwu Guard of the day, so he can't come and go as freely as before.

Pacing back and forth in the house, his chest was heaving, and he managed to calm down, and ordered: "You find someone to hurry back to the capital and find out the ins and outs of the matter. Don't forget to ask Yu Shitai how it is now, and whether Mr. Xie is safe and sound. ...Of course there is also Mr. Pei Shaonan Pei."

Although the subordinates didn't know what was written in the letter, seeing General Liao's serious expression, he vaguely guessed what happened in Beijing.

He didn't ask any more questions, but replied in a deep voice, "I will obey the military order."

This person is Liao Qingfeng's confidant, and he handles things very neatly. Liao Qingfeng is very relieved of him.That night, this man came out of Liao Qingfeng's study room, packed up and set off immediately, and hurried to the capital.

It's just that before hearing the news from Xie Zhao in the capital, what Liao Qingfeng never expected was that he waited for the gunpowder in the north first.

——The lunatic emperor of Beiyan tore up the covenant between the two dynasties, and took action without hesitation when the imperial power of Dayu changed!
