After the first emperor and first prince entered the imperial mausoleum, the Ministry of Rites held a grand ceremony in a short time. Qin Zhen'an, the eldest grandson of the emperor who was born only one year old, became the youngest emperor in Dayu's history.Due to the young age of the emperor, the affairs of the court are temporarily managed by Prime Minister Xu Yixin and various ministers.

Xu Yixin's position in the court was unmatched for a while.

Soon after, how to deal with Cheng Wang who was still in prison was put on the agenda.

The faction headed by Xu Yixin believed that Cheng Wang "rebelled and killed his father and brother".Master Wan Xuwan, who used to be indifferent to mountains and rivers, provided many letters in his own handwriting about King Cheng's recruitment of officials and private recruiting of soldiers in this court meeting that convicted King Cheng.

It is precisely because of these letters that the Chengwang family has no room to stand up in the court.

Holding the letter in his hand, Xu Yixin glanced over the ministers.

His voice was low: "The matter has come to this point and the evidence of King Cheng's rebellion is conclusive. In addition, the ministers witnessed him leading troops to force the palace. It is difficult to comfort the late emperor if he does not kill these ungrateful and greedy people."

After saying this, a group of people naturally nodded and said yes, but some people thought that the prime minister's decision was made too early.

Lin Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, took a deep look at Xu Yixin, and suddenly lifted his lips: "Such an important matter should be discussed carefully, and a decision should be made after multiple inspections—the official understands Master Xu's feelings, but he still thinks We should think twice about dealing with the matter of being king."

Xu Yixin said: "Master Lin thinks this evidence is not convincing enough? King Cheng's evil deeds are seen once in a hundred years, and killing his father and brother is unheard of. It's really unconscionable. Regarding this kind of person, Master Lin, how should we think twice?" ?”

He sneered and said with a sneer, "I just found out today that you are a bodhisattva."

For his ridicule, Lin Ying was not angry, and still insisted: "The people from the Ministry of Punishment must review it for a few more days."

This time Yushitai also held the same opinion, but the speech officer of Yushitai was much more direct than Lin Zheng.

He Fang came out holding the wat board, his etiquette was impeccable, but his words were not humble.

He straightened his back, his jaw was slightly stretched, and he met the prime minister's sight without fear, and said loudly: "Master Lin's words are absolutely true! On the night when King Cheng forced the palace, all the ministers were trapped in the palace, and they knew very little about what happened in the palace. At least, if you convict King Cheng so lightly, you will be irresponsible to the former emperor, the former prince and the people of Li."

The implication of these words is too obvious!

Xu Yixin laughed angrily: "Master He is doubting this official?"

He Fang glanced at him, and said angrily, "I don't dare."

This doesn't look like he dares, it's clearly very dare!

Xu Yixin glanced at He Fang, and looked at Dou Shun in the queue.This time, he didn't wait for Dou Shun's stop.

I saw Mr. Dou standing firmly in the queue, and nodded his head to show his approval after hearing what Mr. He said, obviously standing on the same front as Mr. He.

Seemingly aware of the prime minister's gaze, Dou Shun raised his head and nodded at the prime minister, then paced out of the queue and said indifferently: "Your official saw the same thing as Mr. He. There were too many strange things that night, so you should investigate carefully. check."

He stood in front of He Fang, completely blocking Mr. He behind him.

This is an unambiguously supportive attitude.

Due to the opposition of Lin Zheng and Yu Shitai, the atmosphere in the court was stalemate for a while.

Now the No. 1 in the court is naturally the prime minister Xu Yixin. The new emperor is still young. Although the queen mother can represent part of the government affairs, most of the memorials are still handled by the prime minister. Consciously approaching the prime minister, taking his decision as the first, the team of the prime minister in the DPRK and China is expanding day by day.

What's more, the letter given by Wan Xu is indeed very important evidence. Under such circumstances, the prime minister wanted to kill King Cheng Qiuhou, and the officials felt that there was no problem.

It happened that Yu Shitai and Lin Ying stood up, and with Yu Shitai and Lin Ying's words ahead, other people also stood up one after another.

Yang Xundao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs: "The post-autumn period has not yet arrived, and the efficiency of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is not low. If Mr. Xu hand over the investigation to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, let the Ministry of Criminal Justice send people to investigate and interrogate. Not too late."

In the end, even the Tai Bao, who was recuperating from illness, spoke out.

Taibao firmly believes that this matter needs to be investigated, not only, but also carefully and thoroughly.

In terms of seniority, two prime ministers are inferior to one Taibao.

The Taibao said so, Xu Yixin could only take a step back at this time, and compromised: "In this case, I will trouble Master Yang and the people in the Ministry of Punishment to worry more."

Lian Song of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has always had the prestige of living the king of Hades. The jailers who have seen Lian Song interrogated have talked about him in private: "Don't look at Mr. Lian's handsome appearance, but his methods can really make people laugh." You can't live but you can't die, no matter how hard your mouth is, you have to become soft when you meet such a person."

But this time, Lian Song, who has always been invincible, is not in a good position.

——Before the interrogation began, Cheng Wang, who had clamored for his innocence not long ago, committed suicide in prison.

Xie Zhao stood aside expressionlessly, watching the arrival of the people from the Ministry of Rites silently, and then carried the coffin containing Cheng Wang's body out of the cell.Because King Cheng was still guilty of crimes, the coffin was made so simple that there was not even half a decoration on it.

Lian Song stood beside him and said in a low voice, "King Cheng's death was not easy."

He glanced at Xie Zhao: "But the matter has come to this point, the clues are all broken, why do you still have to confront that person at Yushitai?"

Xie Zhao looked up at him: "What do you think?"

The corner of Lian Song's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a faint smile.

His tone was firm: "Should continue to insist, after all, you are Yushitai."

Xie Zhao also smiled.

He turned and left, leaving only one sentence: "Lord Lian, just watch."

The death of King Cheng did not make Yushitai shut up, but the sudden news of his death made Yushitai's remonstrance more violent.In addition to the censors, many officials from the Six Departments have come forward to ask the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate the cause of King Cheng's death.Those who dared to do anything had even sued the queen mother, saying bluntly: "There have been too many strange things recently."

The young empress dowager just said: "King Cheng has committed a lot of crimes. Maybe he will be ashamed after reflecting on it in prison, so he chooses to settle it once and for all."

Every morning, the ministers were arguing over this matter.People from Yushitai and Lin Ying's faction insisted on thoroughly investigating the truth, but those from the prime minister's faction felt that these people were messing around. Yesterday was gone, and it was meaningless to spend too much energy on irreparable things.

The quarrel between the officials of the two factions was finally terminated by a news from the border—Beiyan sent troops suddenly. After nearly 20 years, the friendship between Beiyan and Dayu was finally broken.

Wan Xu asked Xie Zhao maliciously: "Who do you want to win? Master Liao is still your... bosom friend?"

He played the word confidant on the tip of his tongue playfully, with a teasing and disdainful expression on his face.

Xie Zhao glanced at him: "In the end, the one who wins is either Lord Wan or not."

He took a few steps forward, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Wan Xu, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Master Wan pays so much attention to me, could it be that he appreciates Xie and also wants Xie?" Your confidant and guest?"

Wan Xu frowned slightly, and just about to say something with a sneer, saw Xie Zhao brush off the dust that was not on his sleeves again, and said softly, "It's a pity, when it comes to making friends, people like Master Wan, thank you Zhao has always been respectful and far away - you often come over, I am annoyed."

You look annoying.

Although these four words are said lightly, the meaning in the words is extremely heavy.Xie Yushi, who has always been gentle and polite, except when admonishing in the court, when did he say such merciless words?

This Xie Zhao!

Right now, Xie Zhao didn't lower his voice, so many officials heard his blatantly disgusting words.

Wan Xu looked at the back of Xie Zhao striding away against the strange eyes of the people around him, his complexion gradually became gloomy.He looked around at the people around him coldly, then left with a flick of his sleeves.

After all, Xie Jiajun is an opponent that should not be underestimated. Even if Beiyan's army is brave and formidable, it will be difficult to gain points.

In the majestic hall, Fu Yi received the secret letter from Huang Qu, and after scanning the contents of the letter at a glance, anger soon appeared on his face.Furious, he swept all the memorials on the table to the ground, and the memorials that were piled high just now rolled down to the ground, stacked in twos and threes in a mess.

The memorial that was held by Fu Yi not long ago was spread out on the ground at this moment, and the red badge with Fu Sui's name printed on the end was dazzling and eye-catching.

Fu Yi's chest heaved up and down, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said through gritted teeth: "What a Dayu, what a Liao Qingfeng... what a loyal dog raised by the Xie family!"

Xie Yan was sent away, Liao Yuan was gone, and now Liao Qingfeng came again!God Bless Dayu, it is extremely hateful!

Thinking of his own son who was so fascinated by Xie Yan's son, Fu Yi felt even more depressed in his chest, which caused chest tightness and headache, and he didn't know where to vent his anger.

He said angrily: "Come here! Call the courtiers to discuss the matter!"

The news that Fu Yi wanted to take the imperial conquest in person quickly spread throughout Beiyan's government and the public.At this moment, even the courtiers who were still embarrassed by the emperor couldn't help being shocked, and they all stood up quickly, and the memorials of opposition floated on the emperor's case like a sea.

Although it has always been known that the emperor does not arrange to play cards and is extremely capricious, but no one thought that he would make such a decision so easily.In the past, it was okay to go crazy in the capital, but everyone was safe anyway, now I am going to go wild on the battlefield, where a sword has no eyes, and if you are not careful, you will die!

Fu Yi was going, of course, not to die.

In order to increase his bargaining chips, despite the dissuasion of his courtiers, he even planned to conscript urgently!

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the opposition in the court soared. Not only the courtiers, but even the people who heard the news could not restrain their dissatisfaction.If you want to go crazy, just go crazy yourself, what's the point of dragging innocent people?Why is conscription a good thing? It's a war, not a joke!

Zeng Cheng privately said to Fu Ling: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of the victory to pursue the attack at this time. Our Majesty is not stupid."

The Dayu court randomly made a pot of porridge. Although Xie Jiajun was brave and Liao Qingfeng also had the style of his father, they hadn't fully grown up after all.

only……

Zeng Cheng smacked his lips: "Your Majesty's method is too radical."

It's not so much aggressiveness as it is self-righteous arrogance.

This arrogance, he has not changed over the years.

Fu Ling lowered his eyes, looking at the letter in his hand, his thoughts drifted away involuntarily.Zeng Cheng whispered so much in his ear, but he didn't take it into his heart after listening, all he could think about was Xie Zhao.

How is Xie Zhao, who is so proud, doing now?Did anyone bully him?Does he... miss him...?

After Zeng Cheng talked for a long time, he didn't hear a word from Fu Ling. He turned his head to look, only to find that there was nothing wrong with the Crown Prince, but his eyes were a little wandering.

He pursed his lips and was speechless: Well, it really is father and son, both of them are paranoid, but the paranoid things are different.I really can't tell which one is better.

Zeng Cheng was also a bad-hearted person, so he intentionally teased His Highness the Crown Prince at this time: "Your father is going to lead troops to fight to your little lover's lair, why are you in no hurry? I don't see Mr. Xie much, but to him, it's a good deal." Some understanding. From my point of view, the Xie family is full of loyalty, if you really want to go to that point, you two will really be finished."

Fu Ling couldn't hear the word "end".

He frowned and stared at Zeng Cheng coldly, his eyes cold.Seeing Zeng Chengmeng like this, he felt a chill all over his body for a moment, and even a little trembling.

"I hope Mr. Zeng can understand that some things and some people cannot be used as a joke."

Fu Ling narrowed his eyes, his slender fingers were clearly knit in the sun, and slowly put the letter in his hand back into the envelope, placed it in the sandalwood box, and put it away carefully, as if he was hiding some rare treasure.

After finishing all these, he stood up and said calmly, "Unless I die, Xie Zhao and I will not be finished."

Such ruthless words, but he said them calmly, and he only said such strong feelings in a casual way.

Zeng Cheng supported his head and smiled beside him: "I don't know if it's luck or misfortune for Mr. Xie to be entangled with you."

This family is really crazy.

Thinking of that person, the coldness in Fu Ling's eyes melted in an instant.

He lowered his head and smiled, and the spring blossomed: "In short, it's my luck."
