Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Outside the Golden Luan Hall, Xu Chengze saw Yan Zheng waiting, and he saw a few fans around him, their faces were pale and nothing could be seen.

Although the current Yan Zheng and Xu Chengze are not in the same situation, they are also the kind who look at each other and hate each other, and have long since abandoned the posturing and politeness.

Seeing that Xu Chengze was not in good spirits, Kong Qingping expressed concern, and Xu Chengze muddled away.

Guo Heng sat down on the dragon chair, glanced at His Highness, and saw the obvious dark circles under Xu Chengze's eyes. He couldn't help but wonder, what happened?

Recently, the strict government and the party have been very low-key, there is no major issue in the court, except for the Queen's matter, what is it that bothers Ozawa so much

恼？

He glanced at Xu Chengze a few times, but Xu Chengze kept lowering his eyelashes and didn't even look at him, as if he was asleep.

Xu Chengze's attitude annoyed Guo Heng, what did he know?

"Xu Aiqing!"

Guo Heng yelled, but Xu Chengze didn't respond, so he raised his voice again and called, "Xu Ruoxu!"

Xu Chengze was clever, his back subconsciously straightened, but his head was still lowered, "The minister is here!"

He was annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that he was distracted in the hall.He is so sleepy!Although his person is still standing, his thoughts have been scattered.

If it was someone else, Guo Heng would definitely reprimand him, but Xu Chengze's appearance only made him feel distressed.

"Xu Aiqing, after retiring from the court, come with me to the South Study Room."

"say,,

疋.

In front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Xu Chengze couldn't refuse.

He knew that Guo Heng must have discovered his anomaly, and before he retreated from court, he began to think about his speech.

Just when Guo Heng wanted to talk about retiring from the court, he heard Yan Zheng say: "Your Majesty, the old minister has his roots."

Not only Guo Heng, but also the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty were very surprised. Grand Master Yan has been hiding his strength for so long, and now he is going to play again?

All Yan's party looked at the grand master excitedly, while Kong Qingshu and Kong Qingping cheered up, wondering what tricks he was going to play

kind.

Guo Heng said: "Teacher please tell me."

Yan Zheng said loudly: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Lord Xu Ruoxu is the son of the criminal Xu Yixiu ten years ago."

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of exclamation in the hall.

Most of the courtiers in the palace are old, so they naturally knew about Xu Yixiu's case ten years ago.And the younger ones, like Zhou Dai and Kong Qingping, are also from aristocratic families, of course they have heard of them.

Guo Heng was startled, and subconsciously looked at Xu Chengze, only to see Xu Chengze standing quietly, his expression unchanged.

He admired in his heart, Ozawa really has the style of a general, and he is not in a hurry.He didn't know that Xu Chengze was just mentally weak. Although he appeared to be a little dazed, his mind was already spinning rapidly. Yan Zheng actually discovered his identity?Xu Chengze quickly thought back, did anyone know that he escaped death back then?Then he answered himself affirmatively, no!Therefore, his expression became more calm.

Xu Chengze's performance calmed Guo Heng's mind, and said calmly: "Is there any evidence for what the grand master said?"

Yan Zheng said: "I found Wang Zhi, Marshal Xu's subordinate. He had met Xu Yixiu's third son, Xu Chengze. I asked the emperor to announce him to the palace to testify."

"Wang Zhi? Who is Wang Zhi?"

Guo Heng's eyes seemed to turn around in the hall, but he was actually asking Xu Chengze.

Do you know who this Wang Zhi is?Will he recognize you?

Xu Chengze was fully awake at this time, and sneered in his heart, it was not easy for Yan Zheng to guess his identity.But he was perfectly sure that no one would recognize him.That Wang Zhi, who I have never even heard of, said that he was the one who followed his father? How could it be possible?

He couldn't say that he knew all the people who followed his father from birth to death, but how could the people who believed in his father bring them out to help the evildoers and make things difficult for him?

He blinked at Guo Heng, which means don't worry, just let him come up.

Guo Heng was relieved, and asked again: "Grand Master, who is this Wang Zhi? Is his words reliable?"

Yan Zheng said: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhi used to be Xu Yixiu's adjutant. After Xu Yixiu returned to Beijing, others stayed in the frontier and only came back in the past two years. He met Xu Yixiu's son ten years ago. If Mr. Xu is not Xu Yixiu's son, let him What's the point of seeing him?"

What Yan Zheng said meant that if Xu Chengze didn't see him, he would be guilty.

Xu Chengze sneered, and thought, I'm not afraid of him watching!But why should I let him see it?

He said lightly: "Your Majesty, is it too unfair for the grand master to do this to the lower officials?"

Guo Heng knew that he would not be bullied so easily, so he followed him and said, "Oh? Why did Aiqing say that?"

Yan Zheng also turned to Xu Chengze, and snorted coldly, "Why is it unfair?"

As soon as Xu Chengze opened his mouth, Kong Qingping understood what he meant.

He took a step forward and smiled slightly, "Master Xu is right. Master Yan is now asking someone to tell him that Master Xu is Xu Yixiu's son. If someone comes to identify him, this is basically to convict Master Xu. How is it fair?" ? If the subordinate officials say that the grand master is a Jiangyang thief decades ago, and find someone with a strange name to testify, how does the grand master feel?"

Guo Heng and Xu Chengze looked at each other, thinking, this child has grown up.

They looked at Kong Qingshu again, and saw him sitting on the side, his eyes slightly lowered, seemingly expressionless, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if admiring.

Yan Zheng's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's simply unreasonable! This old man's life is innocent, how could he be a gangster? Kong Qingping, don't slander this old man!"

Kong Qingping laughed, "Grand Master Yan also felt insulted, so how can you slander Master Xu out of thin air?"

"You!" Although Kong Qingping is Kong Qingshu's son, Yan Zheng usually doesn't take him seriously. He always thinks that he is still a child, and he is not too difficult to deal with, but now he is speechless. .

Ma Biao said in a deep voice, "Master Kong's words are wrong. The grand master has been in the court for decades, and his life history is very clear to all the officials in the Liang dynasty. The grand master cannot be a Jiangyang thief, and the lower officials can testify !"

Tan Xingyun and Ji Yutang also said one after another: "We can testify to the grand master, the grand master is innocent, Master Kong is definitely slandering the court order!"

Xu Chengze said indifferently: "You guys said that you can testify for the grand master because you have been with the grand master for so many years, so you believe him. However, the grand master won the first prize in his 20s and entered the imperial court. However, he was in the middle school What about before the champion? Do you know what he did? Maybe it’s really Jiang Yang’s bandit!”

"You!" Ma Biao glared at Xu Chengze, but he couldn't refute.

Kong Qingping said sternly: "Master Xu is right. If you can testify to Grand Master Yan, then the lower officials can also testify to Master Xu. Master Xu came from a clean background, just a child of an ordinary family."

Yan Zheng finally found the words to fight back. He said coldly: "If Mr. Xu is just a child of an ordinary family, how did he know Lord Kong Hou? The mansion of Lord Hou is not so easy to get into, is it?"

All eyes fell on Kong Qingshu.

Kong Qingshu stood up unhurriedly, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to Benhou, and Benhou has to say a few words. It is said that the gods have a few poor relatives, and besides, Benhou was also an ordinary person back then. Naturally, there are a few close friends, and they are all ordinary people. Master Xu Ruoxu is the child of the old man of the Marquis. He brought his father's letter to join the Marquis, and of course the Marquis has to take care of him. People can't always You forget your origins, Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Guo Heng nodded again and again, "Master Hou is right."

Yan Zheng didn't expect that he finally came up with the idea of ​​bringing down Xu Ruoxu, and also found witnesses, but the witnesses didn't even have a chance to appear.And Kong Qingshu secretly satirized him for forgetting the book, how could he be reconciled?

"Hehe, Master Hou said that Xu Ruoxu is the son of your old friend, what is the proof?"

Kong Qingshu looked up at Yan Zheng with a bit of coldness.

"Grand Master Yan doesn't believe me?"

Yan Zheng pouted his neck and said, "If Lord Hou has evidence, I will believe you."

Kong Qingshu sneered, "Ben Hou does have evidence, but why do you ask me to show it? Or, do you even suspect me? Ben Hou wants to hear, who does Grand Master Yan think Ben Hou is? He is a relative of the prisoner. Or son?"

Yan Zheng didn't expect Kong Qingshu to react so strongly, he secretly gritted his teeth, he couldn't beat this old fox, so he should just point the finger at Xu Ruoxu.

He knelt down "Putong", "Your Majesty, the veteran has been in the court for decades, and he will not wrong a good person. If Xu Ruoxu is not guilty, why didn't he let the witness go to the palace?"

Kong Qingping took a step forward, but was blocked by Xu Chengze.

He said indifferently: "Teacher, why is my conscience so guilty? It's just that I can't be framed in vain. Please, what evidence does Wang Zhi have to prove that he is Marshal Xu's subordinate, and what evidence proves that he knows Xu?" The marshal's son?"

Xu Chengze had full confidence in asking this question, he was sure that his father did not have subordinates like Wang Zhi.

Yan Zheng said: "He has the badge of the captain when he served in the army."

Lin Ziming said leisurely from the side: "Even if there is a token, it doesn't mean anything, right? There is no portrait on the token, why?

Does that prove that the token is his?After so many years, it is really suspicious that this person suddenly appeared. "

Jiang Shiyun said: "General Lin's words are justified. Besides, in the case of the Xu family, the whole family was copied and beheaded. The third son of the Xu family was only seven or eight years old. After the nest was overthrown, how could there be any eggs? The grand master said that Mr. Xu is the youngest son of the Xu family. , don’t you question the person who handled the case back then?”

Hearing Jiang Shiyun's words, Xu Chengze felt uncomfortable when he thought of his family who died tragically.Afraid that the hot eyes would betray him, he lowered his head.

Guo Heng glanced over, knowing that he remembered something unpleasant, and felt bad.

But Jiang Shiyun knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, after I entered Dali Temple, I searched the case files many years ago and found that there were many doubts about the case of Marshal Xu. I dare you to ask the emperor to issue an order. Revisit the case."

Guo Heng wanted to reverse the Xu family's case a long time ago, but at that time the government was strictly controlled by the government, so he couldn't do it at all.Now the power in the court has changed, but things happen one after another, making him unable to cope, so he forgets about it.Hearing Jiang Shiyun mention it at this time, it was just too much to his liking.

He was about to say yes, when Yan Zheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the case of Xu's family has solid evidence. It was decided by the late Emperor himself. Why is there any doubt?"
