Hongdi

One sentence was like five thunderbolts, shocking Yu Xun for a long while...

Bei Yaofei hurriedly said: "It must be that the Cai family intends to withdraw from the arena, using a golden cicada's plan to get rid of their shells."

"How could it be?" Yu Xun looked at Bei Yaofei coldly, not allowing him to prevaricate at all, "The Cai family is kind to your Caohetang, you should check it out."

"I checked, but it's an unresolved case." Bei Yaofei frowned, and said again: "I also just joined the Caohe Hall 15 years ago, so I don't know about it very well. After I've been busy for a while, I'll check it out for you. "

Yu Xun slumped on that strong chest like a deflated ball, "No wonder my mother said that with uncle around, she still has the last sliver of reason. When uncle died, mother went crazy."

"How could the Cai family in Danyang have anything to do with the imperial court?" Bei Yaofei murmured to himself with some doubts.

"It's not related to the court, it's the court's eyeliner in the rivers and lakes."

Bei Yaofei was startled, "How do you know?"

"Guess. It's because there are imperial powers in Jianghu now, but we don't know about it."

"what?"

"It is estimated that the queen mother wanted to withdraw from behind the scenes, so she transferred the Cai family back to the court. Then in order to cover up certain things, the Cai family disappeared..." Yu Xun said lightly, but it seemed like someone was gouging him out. The meat is in pain.

"I'm tired, I'm going to bed first. I remember calling me at the fourth watch, and I have morning morning today."

"Ah. Then go to sleep." Bei Yaofei was also disturbed, gently laid Yu Xun on his side, helped cover the corner of the quilt, and lay down with his clothes on.

"By the way, do you have any medicine to repel snakes?" Yu Xun asked suddenly, his watery eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was hiding.

Bei Yaofei hesitated a little, then asked: "It depends on what kind of snake it is."

"Water snakes, the kind that live in caves, are transparent in white, non-venomous, and like to stalk and bite people." Yu Xun said, his face turning pale.

"Are you talking about the Frost Water Snake?"

"I don't know what it's called."

"Been bitten?"

Yuxun nodded.

"That's easy to do. I've seen it before. When do you want it?"

"After tomorrow's morning court. It's best," Yu Xun forced a smile, and looked at Bei Yaofei with some pleading, "It's best to give it to me before morning court. I'm afraid I won't have time to get it after morning court."

Bei Yaofei sighed softly, "Remember to owe me one more time."

Yuxun smiled and nodded.

"Go to sleep, I'll get the medicine." Bei Yaofei said, got up and walked out.

At four o'clock, Bei Yaofei returned to the bed, and saw that Yu Xun was sleeping soundly, and his long eyelashes cast a small dark shadow on his face.Once again, he didn't control his hand, and gently caressed the sultry silver color, feeling inexplicably satisfied in his heart.Puckering the corners of his mouth and laughing resignedly to his fate, Bei Yaofei murmured in a low voice, "It wouldn't be a bad thing if I could keep guarding you like this..."

"Bei Yaofei, I told you, don't touch my eyes, it's itchy!" Yu Xun pouted, grabbed Bei Yaofei's bumpy hand with some depression, and frowned, "Why did you call me so early? It's not daylight yet."

Yu Xun didn't even open his eyes, and fell asleep holding Bei Yaofei's hand again.

"It's already four o'clock, don't you want to go to court early?" Bei Yaofei said lightly, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping people.With a doting smile, he wrapped Yu Xun tightly with a quilt, left a piece of silver on the table, opened the window, and flew into the night.

The fear in the court hall still made people panic, Yu Xun stood lonely on the golden hall, listening to Feng Wenda's report, he had already prepared the worst plan in his heart, and tried his best to stop the war!

Emperor Xiaoyin's face was dark, and he quietly said another thing that shocked all the ministers: "The case of the Wei family will be discussed later. I also received an urgent document from the Ministry of War this morning. The Yue Kingdom has invaded, and has already attacked Juxia!"

There was a commotion, and some officials were about to go out to report, when the emperor said again: "Yu Xun, Cui Xiao, and Han Qi receive the order!"

The three knelt down and saluted in response.

"Yu Xun, I will give you an army of 50 to repel the Moon Kingdom by land; Han Qi, I will hand over the Dahong 30 navy army to you, and go from the Puyou River to Moshakou, and go straight to the capital of the Moon Kingdom; , I will hand over all the food and grass of the two armies to you for dispatch, and there will be no mistakes."

"My son complies with the decree." Cook Xiao and Han Qi both claimed yes, but Yu Xun was the only one who remained silent.

The emperor frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed across his cold face, "You two get up. Yuxun, do you have any objections?"

"Returning to father, my son thinks it is not appropriate to send troops at this time." Yu Xun proudly looked up at the majestic emperor on the dragon chair, and said firmly: "Father, once the war starts, the prosperity will no longer be, and all industries will wither. The fruits of the years of recuperation will be in vain; at that time, the lives will be ruined, tens of millions of people will lose their families, and the country will be shaken. This is one of them."

The emperor's frown became tighter and tighter. He silently realized that this scene seemed to have happened more than ten years ago. At that time, the young man with snow-haired blue eyes resisted all opinions and insisted on suppressing the battle against He Jia. It is not the emperor who is the biggest, but the people who are the biggest....That person was abandoned by him in the cracks of memory. If it wasn't for Yu Xun, he would have almost forgotten that man who had an affair with his queen, that rival in love he loathed so much.Even though she was the one who finally won Cai Tingyun's heart, but that person ruined their happiness...

Yu Xun ignored the emperor's frowning brows, and continued: "Secondly, the death of General Wei's father and son, I believe that someone had ulterior motives to blame Yue Guo, and this case cannot be concluded yet."

Yu Xun took a deep breath, and said, "The evidence seized by Mr. Feng is very likely to be forged. Sun Wan'er was adopted by the Wei Mansion since she was a child. How can a four-year-old child know how to be a spy and survive in the world?" Is it an enemy camp? As for saying that she is from the Yue Kingdom, Erchen has checked carefully at the Ministry of Household Affairs, and she is indeed from my Dahong Yigu County. Besides, Yuan Haocheng, although he is a tea merchant in the Yue Kingdom, has been selling tea in Youcheng for a long time, The word of mouth is excellent. When the son went to prison, he was covered in bruises, but he was still crying for grievances. The son couldn't bear it. After questioning, he found that the case was full of doubts. , my son will definitely find out the real culprit."

The jadeite wrench lightly hit the golden armrest of the dragon chair, and the emperor looked at Yu Xun without saying a word.Feng Wenda wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and knelt down after leaving the shift, "My Majesty, although I did torture Yuan Haocheng, I only did it on the premise that he confessed that it was the secret work of Yue Guo. And the evidence seized by me: Mandala rosemary drunkenness, purple blood dew, knots unique to Yueguo fishing villages, bloody embroidered shoes, and Yuan Haocheng’s pigeons, letters, etc., are all unique to Yueguo, or are related to Yueguo. Wrong them both."

"What if it was planted by someone else? Although Changzui and Purple Blood Congeal are unique to the Moon Kingdom, it doesn't mean that you can't get them! The two countries have been in business for a long time. How do you know that the real murderer didn't buy them from the Moon Kingdom on purpose? As for Embroidered shoes, letters, and pigeons, isn’t it possible that someone else put them in? As for the knots, Mr. Feng, please go to Yigu County to check carefully and see what the knots there look like, you don’t have to wear them in disguise!”

Yu Xun glared at Feng Wenda in displeasure, his overbearing arrogance startled all the officials around him, and Feng Wenda was so frightened that he bowed his head and dared not say any more.

"Father, I think this case needs to be carefully examined, so please make a decision." Yuxun leaned over and kowtowed, and before the emperor could speak, he said, "Father, I hope you will think twice about sending troops. Now Today, Jiangbei floods, 30 refugees are displaced, starving and dying everywhere, complaining, how can a mere 10 taels of disaster relief money help the victims of the five counties? If the army is raised, it will definitely waste the people and money, and the people in Jiangbei are still waiting for the government to provide food. I implore you to think twice." After finishing speaking, Yu Xun bent down and kowtowed, and did not get up for a long time.

Han Qi curled her lips in disdain, thinking what happened today, how dare this cowardly prince contradict the emperor?With a contemptuous smile, he came out of class to salute, "Father, my son thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince is a little unreasonable. Fifth brother, you said that there were 30 disaster victims, but what did you do with these 30 people?" Confirmed? How do you know that 10 taels of silver are not enough? Xiao Wang doesn’t doubt you, but just doesn’t want some officials to exaggerate the disaster situation and defraud the court of the disaster relief silver taels.”

"Han Qi, think carefully before you speak! You are not making things difficult for me, but the people of the five counties of Mobei and Huanglong!" Yu Xun stared back at Han Qi, "When you and I were arguing, I wonder How many people starved to death. I have never counted the number of victims, and I have not calculated the money carefully. However, the original registered population of the five counties is as many as 56, and the number of victims is 30. This number is already the smallest loss I only got 10 taels of disaster silver, and there is no grain. Seeing that summer is about to enter the north of the Yangtze River, will the embankment of Bashui be repaired? Will summer grain be planted? Do you want the harvest at the end of the year? 10 taels can be used Is it? Jiangbei is now in chaos, and if we don’t help, it will eventually become a disaster!" Yuxun sighed, still did not get up, and continued to kneel down, "Please think again, father."

Han Qi was stared back at his original position by Yu Xun's white eyes, and it took him a while to realize that he was actually timid... He secretly frowned angrily, and stepped forward again unwillingly, "Yu Xun, how do you know that Jiangbei is already in turmoil?" What's more, you think about our Dahong's face! Yue Guo has been bullied to the door, why are you still fussing over these trivial matters?!"

Yu Xun is impatient...

He stood up abruptly, glaring at him, forcing Han Qi to retreat, "Small things? In this world, the people are the biggest!"

Han Qi was stunned, and the emperor was also stunned...

"I also heard about the turmoil in Jiangbei from Mr. Situ from the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Situ Shao, Minister of the Household Department, raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "The prince's news is really good. He has already told me the news I just got here. Hey, judging by today's situation, it's better not to meddle in other people's business." "He went out of duty immediately, "Go back to the emperor, I received a report from Li Xian today that some mobs in Jiangbei did not think what they could do, and gathered people to make trouble."

The emperor nodded and said nothing.

Yu Xun rolled his eyes to the sky speechlessly, pulled up his clothes and knelt down again, "Father, the victims in Jiangbei can't be ignored. As for the matter of sending troops, my ministers are not talented, and they used some of the royal family's power in the rivers and lakes. After learning, Yue The fact that the country sent troops was the assassination of the commanders of Pancheng, Baishuicheng, and the two cities at the border. Yueguo thought it was the work of Hongguo. This is very similar to the murder case in the Wei family. Therefore, I boldly begged my father to allow my child to go on an envoy Moon Kingdom, for reconciliation."

"Yu Xun, if I don't agree, are you going to call me a fool?" I still remember that person back then, who was so high-spirited, rebuked him directly, and finally scolded him, the king, in front of many ministers.

"I dare not." Yu Xun lowered his head obediently.

"Haha? Don't dare? Even you dare to call my people, what else dare not?"

"The emperor is angry," Fan Lezhe, the Prime Minister of the Right, came out to salute, "The old minister thinks what His Royal Highness said is reasonable, and you need to think twice about sending troops. After all, the treasury is not full now, and there are floods in Jiangbei. It would be great if this matter can be turned into friendship. but."

Zuo Prime Minister Situ Jin also bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I also think that it is the only choice for the crown prince to go to Yueguo as an envoy."

"Aren't the two prime ministers old and old-hearted? Are you so timid and afraid of getting into trouble?" Grand Master Li of the Ministry of War snorted coldly, and said again: "The emperor is wise, sending troops to Yueguo is a major event to establish our country's prestige. Reconciliation? Isn't that Is it obvious that we are afraid of him? Besides, did General Wei and his son die in vain? He Yueguo has to give us an explanation!"

This Grand Master Li is none other than Han Qi's grandfather, Wei Shan's father-in-law, and Li Huaye who is the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Grand Master Li's words are wrong." Fan Lezhe stroked his silver beard on his chest, and said with a smile: "Didn't your highness explain it? This matter may be caused by someone deliberately provoking the relationship between the two countries to reap the benefits. How can we be fooled by this?" ?”

"Feng Wenda's investigation is very clear, the evidence is complete, and the prisoner has confessed. As for the remarks of His Royal Highness, ha," Taishi Li said with a contemptuous smile, "That's just speculation! Give the case some more time. The Yue Kingdom has been bullied to the doorstep! If the military plane is delayed, that would be life and death!"

Yu Xun frowned with some headaches, and pierced back with sharp eyes without showing any weakness, "This king is willing to go to the Kingdom of Yue immediately, and vows to stop the war to the death, and will never lose the face of our country! As for Weifu As for the cause of death in the bloody case, I will definitely ask Yue Guo to give an explanation. For the matter of sending troops, the emperor will definitely judge, Grand Master Li, you are not too old, so stop shouting and killing all day long."

Li Taishi was so angry that he pouted his beard, and retorted, "Even though Lian Po is old, he can still make a living! Yueguo bullies people too much, how can he ignore it? His Royal Highness is timid and afraid!"

"Hmph," Yu Xun was amused, his watery eyes were bent, and a cold murderous aura burst out suddenly, which made Grand Master Li shiver for a while. "If this king is afraid, will he propose to send an envoy to Yue Kingdom? Grand Master Li, you really think this king is a soft persimmon!"

"Okay, let's stop. Yuxun accepts the order."

Yu Xun pouted at Han Qi and Li Taishi, turned around and knelt down: "My son is here."

"I order you to lead 50 troops to repel the Moon Kingdom, and send troops in three days."

Yu Xun looked at the playful emperor in astonishment, and hesitated to answer.

Emperor Xiaoyin looked at the woman and the good son her brother had taught with carelessness, without any intention of giving in.

"I implore my father to think twice."

"Hehe, what if I don't think about it?"

Yu Xun frowned, "Father has always governed the country with benevolence and virtue, so he will definitely understand my son's worries. My son begs..."

"Why don't I know that I govern the country with benevolence?" The emperor stared at the pair of green eyes in front of him that were full of concern for the country and the people in disgust, gradually blurring the figure of the silver-haired young man, and said in his heart: "Yun'er is gone, Cai Tingyun, This time, I will let you be buried with her!"

"Father, my son thinks..."

"Shouldn't you?"

Yu Xun looked into the unquestionable eyes of the emperor, sighed helplessly, and quietly said the words that made the emperor completely lose his mind: "Father, the people in this world are the largest. I implore the father to withdraw the order of sending troops, and then allocate money and food for relief victims."

The emperor gently twirled the emerald wrench on his thumb, showing an indifferent smile.The courtiers who are familiar with the king know that the prince has violated a big taboo this time.

"The people are the biggest? I will teach you a good education today, an arrogant kid who talks like crazy!"

"Whispering? I don't." Yu Xun looked at the aloof emperor depressedly, rolled his eyes, showed a playful smile, and said coquettishly: "Father, how can I be so nonsense. My son just thinks..."

"Li Gui, let him change his words!" The emperor ignored Yu Xun's flattery, and coldly issued an order to the eunuch standing beside him, and said with a faint smile: "In this world, I know who is bigger than you!"

Yu Xun was taken aback for a moment, Li Gui had already ordered someone to walk behind him with a torture stick.

Cook Xiao looked at Yu Xun who was kneeling and begging for life with a little worry, but finally resisted the urge to plead.
