Yan Sui and Xu Jiashi returned to the banquet in the front hall, all the guests were surprised.

Didn't the emperor leave the banquet and return to the palace?Why did you come back with a good face?

Yan Sui and Xu Jiashi looked at each other, Yan Sui took a seat at the top, and said: "Although the government affairs are complicated, today is the regent's birthday banquet once in his life, and there are envoys from Jingguo and Daiqin here, so I should I would like to entertain you warmly as a landlord. You don’t need to be formal, I, like everyone else, is the Regent’s guest today.”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of whispering among the people below.

On Dai Qin's side, the deputy envoy whispered to Wu Yun Baoyin: "Sure enough, the regent has the final say in Chen Guo. The little emperor has already left, but he brought him back. Your Highness, maybe we shouldn't—"

Wu Yun Baoyin looked up at Yan Sui, who was in charge, and interrupted his subordinates: "Poor little emperor, like a lamb caught by a wolf... Are things ready?"

The deputy envoy nodded: "It's safe. But prince, we really want to—"

"Shh, be quiet."

The banquet continued, but the guests all had their own concerns and lack of interest in eating.The chief envoys of the two missions sitting opposite each other occasionally met their eyes, and Wu Yun Baoyin smiled and raised his glass to Li Zhen.Li Zhen replied, a little absent-minded after all, and asked the people around him: "Is there no news about Li Tong?"

——The real Li Tong is Li Zhen's cousin, but the "Li Tong" who came to Yasukuni with the mission this time is the Fourth Prince of Yasukuni, Xie Yi, disguised as him.

The answer I got was no, I haven't seen him since I went out last night, maybe I was drunk and passed out on the street.Perhaps the guards patrolling the streets of Chen Guo found out that they would be sent back to the Tongfang Pavilion. There should be no danger, but to lose Yasukuni's face.

Li Zhen frowned, if the fourth prince was discovered, it would not be as simple as losing face.I hope he is still free now, otherwise no matter which party it falls into, it will cause an uproar.

After drinking several more times, the supervisor of etiquette presented a hangover drink, which was a sign that the banquet was over.After drinking cold drinks, the guests can go home separately.

Sure enough, the superiors were poured by a special person, and the lower ministers were served by other people.

Yan Sui paid attention to Xue Huai's expression, this old fox is used to not showing emotions, but at this time, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Jiashi several times, watching him drink the cold drink, before turning his eyes back to finish the drink in the glass.

After drinking the cold drink, Yan Sui asked the envoy if he was used to living in the Tongfang Pavilion. The envoys from both sides replied that everything was fine, and at the same time stood up and said goodbye.

On Yasukuni's side, Li Zhen was in a hurry to find Xie Ju, seeing the undercurrents in the attendance, but he didn't have time to think about it.As for Wu Yun Baoyin, he didn't say any more eccentric words, and left the table honestly. Before leaving, he performed the weird etiquette when he first met the emperor last time, and whispered a sentence of grassland language with a smile on his face.

Almost at the same time as the mission left, everyone noticed that the regent's face changed, his brows were tightly frowned, and he whispered something to the emperor, Yan Sui's expression also changed drastically.The regent wanted to get up and leave the table, but he couldn't stand still, and the eunuch who was serving him reluctantly helped him to go back.

With such a sudden situation, the officials who were about to leave the meeting and go home were all stunned.Xue Huai came out, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, I have the right to impeach the regent Xu Lian, deceitful and usurped, and intend to rebel!"

Yan Sui lowered his eyes, tidied up the table and wiped his hands calmly, motioning for Shuangshun to take the memorial.

The contents of the memorial are all known by Yan Sui-the empress Renzong's spiritual throne has not entered the Taimiao, Xu Lian is not an imperial family, so he enters and exits the Taimiao at will to sacrifice, and also uses the river stele "Xu Kang Zaiji" to create momentum for rebellion.

Yan Sui browsed quickly, put together the memorial and put it aside, then Sirui hurried back, kowtowed with tears all over his face, Yan Sui caught a glimpse of Xue Huai's self-satisfied appearance holding the winning ticket from the corner of his eyes.

"I remember, Mr. Xue was a Jinshi during Gaozong's time, and he was one of the top three." Yan Sui raised his eyes to Xue Huai.

Xue Huai heaved a long sigh, with tears in his eyes: "Because of Gao Zong's kindness, I am overthrown, and I have no choice but to repay Your Majesty with a heartless death! I am incompatible with traitors and sycophants, and I can prosper Chen by governing with integrity!"

"Under Master Xue's governance, the Ministry of Officials has indeed selected many talents for Da Chen. In the past ten years, most of the Jinshi came from Master Xue's sect, and they are Master Xue's proud disciples. The court of Chen Guo relies heavily on Master Xue." Yan Yan Sui looked solemn, and he changed the subject, "However, the higher the position, the heavier the power, the more difficult it is to hold on to oneself. How many moths are born in the pillars? Including Mr. Xue, as the top official among my officials, Is he still as loyal as he was when he became an official at the beginning of the year?!"

Xue Huai's expression turned serious: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the slanderous slander of Xu Lian and other traitors! If he accuses the minister of infidelity and injustice, he can confront the minister on the spot!"

"Lord Xue, put aside the grievances between you and the Prince Regent for the time being." Yan Sui calmly and calmly took out a volume of documents from his sleeve, "It just so happens that the heads of all departments and departments are here today, so I will take advantage of the Prince Regent's birthday banquet to set up a Court, let's settle the case."

Yan Sui handed the document to Shuangshun, and Shuangshun bowed down from the table, handing the document to the ministers for circulation.

All the officials on the scene looked tense, and Sun Ying, who had just woke up and returned to her seat, was once again blacked out and passed out.

The circulation process naturally bypassed Xue Huai, the person involved, but when Xue Huai glanced at the densely packed bright red handprints on it from the corner of his eye, his heart instantly sank.

"Your Majesty, Xu Lian and his ministers have been at odds for a long time. Jiangzhou was once a hereditary fiefdom of the King of Zhou. The Xu family's influence in Jiangzhou is entangled. Jiangzhou is completely covered by him alone. This so-called joint letter must be forged by him alone! "

"Since the Xu family entered Beijing three years ago, the feudal Jiangzhou has only been under local jurisdiction! How can the Xu family cover the sky with one hand!" Yan Sui slammed the case with a serious expression, "This joint letter is full of bloodstains, almost a death sentence! Forged? Do you think public opinion You can manipulate it at will, and the people can fool you at will! Xue Huai, do you think that the one who opposed you today is the regent alone? Wrong! It is the people of Jiangzhou who have been displaced and their families have been destroyed because of your corruption. , witnesses!"

The 20-year-old emperor has always been generous and benevolent, but this is the first time he has been so furious since he took the throne.

After loud and loud reprimands, the witness came on stage, who was the coachman who gave gifts to Wei Yang.

This middle-aged man, whose ancestral home was in Jiangzhou, had been a farmer all his life. It was the first time in his life that he stepped out of Jiangzhou and came to the capital. He knelt down and wept like blood——

"Your Majesty! The people of Jiangzhou are suffering! Last year's harvest was so good that the people could only eat bran and swallow vegetables! This year's flood, God bless our family from drowning in the flood, but the black-hearted magistrate wanted Our fate! What kind of parental official, that is a cannibal official!"

Yan Sui clenched his hands into fists: "Tell me in detail!"

The man wiped away his tears: "After the flood this year, relying on the surplus food that the family desperately snatched, and then peeling the bark of wild vegetables, the family can survive by tightening their belts, thinking that the imperial court will never care about the lives of the people. For disaster relief, the porridge served was weaker than water. Thinking that the imperial court was not rich enough, the villagers gritted their teeth and endured it. Later, when the regent came to provide disaster relief, the villagers had enough food for a few days before they realized that the imperial court had allocated A lot of money, but it didn’t fall on the common people! Those black-hearted officials are so daring! The regent wanted to investigate corrupt officials, so they assassinated the prince. The prince survived, and they hated us, the people who complained! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Ah! My wife and daughter were dragged and sold into a kiln, and my son was beaten to death! Me! I..."

The man picked up the hem of his clothes, and there were dozens of scars criss-crossing on his waist and back that were as thick as a thumb's foot: "Yan Wangye thinks my life is cheap and won't accept it, and thanks to Lord Wei's rescue, I can come before His Majesty to avenge my grievances!"

The man read out several other names in the joint letter, and talked about the grievances of each family: "These corrupt officials have emptied Jiangzhou, and I don't know how many people have been forced to death! Money! They took our lives for money! They are It’s not enough for an official to eat the imperial salary, so I have to clean the spots between the fingers of the common people. Your Majesty, you and the regent must be the masters of the common people!”

The sufferer kowtowed heavily, his forehead was bloody and he couldn't stop his grief.

Yan Sui's heart felt heavier than ever before, and his abdomen was aching again. He asked Shuangshun to take the witness card down, and questioned Xue Huai: "The Jiangzhou official Chen Ting, whom the witness card reported just now, is your disciple, Mr. Xue, and even more so by you." His niece and son-in-law. He wantonly embezzled local funds and embezzled disaster relief funds, who was instructing whom to protect, and whose pockets the bulk of the money fell into, do I need to say more!"

Xue Huai's face was already very ugly, but he still kept his mouth stubborn: "I have been wronged! A grassroots accuses and slanders an important minister, and he should be executed according to the law! Xu Lian just finds a local ruffian to ruin the official career of the minister. Yes! Your Majesty, I will not plead guilty! Unless Xu Lian confronts me face to face!"

"Confrontation is confrontation! Master Xue thinks that the king is afraid of you!" Xu Jiashi suddenly appeared in front of everyone, standing proudly.

"You! How could you! You're not..." Xue Huai's face turned ashen for a moment, and he couldn't stand still and took a few steps back.

Xu Jiashi stepped forward and took the joint letter: "I'm really sorry that this king didn't let go as Lord Xue wished. The crime of poisoning the regent will be counted later, Lord Xue, Shangshu Xue! You just now Didn’t you mean to confront this king? Well, today is here, you ask yourself in front of these hundreds of handprints and souls with grievances, do you dare to say that you are upright and have a clear conscience! Do you dare!”

Xue Huai was made speechless by the questioning, and clenched his fists. He knew that Chen Ting was being targeted, and he couldn't escape the responsibility.

But he was not reconciled, not reconciled to being overthrown by the Xu family just like that!

Xue Huai said with a desperate attitude: "I have collected a lot of money, but I didn't use it for private use, but for His Majesty's plan!"

Yan Sui was startled when he heard the words, the emperor was used as a shield for this moth's corruption, and he wanted to hear how he justified himself.

Xue Huai stared at Xu Jiashi: "Your surname is Xu, and there is restless blood in your bones! Your Majesty has reached the age of 20, but everything is under your control. Last year, the harem should be filled, but until now His Majesty There is no one around. What are you thinking about, can't you see through us veterans!"

Xue Huai suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty! My Emperor! The old minister has been loyal to assist the Yan family since Gaozong, how could he destroy himself for mere copper stink! Your Majesty, a treacherous minister is in power, and no matter how prosperous the treasury is, it is not your Majesty's asset! I have worked hard to save some money. Money is what can really be used by Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you must be close to the virtuous and far away from the sycophants, and kill Xu thief as soon as possible, so as to defend the country! Your Majesty! It was stolen by a traitor!"

Hearing the words, Yan Sui closed his eyes and took a deep breath. As expected of a person who has been up and down in the officialdom for decades, he transferred the plaintiff and the defendant in a few words.If it hadn't been for the early communication with Xu Jiashi, and the book written on the stone tablet in front of him, these words were indeed enough to arouse the suspicion of an emperor.

However, Xue Huai would never have imagined that no matter how suspicious the emperor was, he would never betray the person next to him.

Yan Sui got up, endured the abdominal pain and walked in front of Xue Huai: "Lord Xue, I am raising money for you. I am afraid you will not be able to wear this high hat. In the whole world, the person I trust the most is the Regent, and don't worry about it." Now that the evidence is convincing, even if he makes a false accusation, I will believe him. Someone—”

Yan Sui raised his hand, and Teng Xiang's left guard stepped forward instantly.

"Take Xue Huai away and wait for a detailed trial at another day!"

"Who dares to step forward!" Xue Huai suddenly glared furiously, and his fierce eyes quickly lingered on Yan Sui and Xu Jiashi who were standing side by side, and suddenly laughed, "I understand! I understand everything! No wonder the surname Xu's meddling and harming my Rong'er! Yan Sui! You disregard your ancestors and are not worthy of being king! You think that with Xu Lian's backing, the two of them can sit on the throne firmly! Just kidding, you are not the only one left in the Yan family—— "

Seeing him talking more and more crazy, Xu Jiashi kicked him, and Xue Huai flew out like a kite with a broken string, and landed on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, pressing his chest and gasping for breath.

But he was still laughing: "Yan Sui! You are very much like your mother who is not on the stage! Just wait! One day, you will end up with her!"

What's the end?Didn't the mother die in childbirth?Is there another reason? !

Yan Sui's heart was shocked, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbing Xue Huai's blood-stained collar: "What did you say!"

Xue Huai sneered, took out the short blade in his sleeve, and stabbed Yan Sui with all his might.

The incident happened suddenly, and at such a short distance, Yan Sui couldn't dodge and his heartbeat almost stopped instantly, but the next moment he was pulled into his arms and rolled away.He was safe and sound, but felt the hot blood gushing from Xu Jiashi's back.

"Come here! Tell the imperial physician!" Yan Sui panicked and saw the guard drew his sword and cut Xue Huai, and the blood spurted thinly, winding like a snake on the ground.

snake!

Yan Sui's head was dizzy, his eyes were blurred, and he saw red snakes attacking with twists and turns.Everyone at the banquet screamed and ran, fleeing for their lives in a panic, but Xu Jiashi tightly protected him with his body, allowing the snakes to bite him.

It wasn't until Pei Liangfang came limping, not afraid of snake bites, that he threw away the red snake one by one with each hand, and the guards were able to kill it.

Yan Sui couldn't care less about the abdominal pain, so he hurriedly went to see the person who was protecting him tightly, but Xu Jiashi was already soaked in blood and closed his eyes tightly, even his breathing was extremely weak.

"Save him quickly! The genius doctor, save him quickly!" Yan Sui hugged Pei Liangfang's arm, hissing almost hoarsely.

Pei Liangfang probed Xu Jia's breathing with one hand and grasped Yan Sui's pulse with the other, and asked urgently in a low voice, "Save your baby first or save him first?!"

Yan Sui was stunned.

"Say it!"

"save him!"
