Time is slow

   Chapter 526 The emperor is angry

  Champion Hou's mansion occupies a large area, and the two brothers and sisters deliberately slowed down their pace. When they reached Qiao Wan's residence, Qiao Zhao had already briefly explained the situation in the south.

   "Big Brother—" Qiao Wan ran over with her skirt when she heard the movement, and was stunned when she saw Qiao Zhao.

  Qiao Zhao was also startled when he saw Qiao Wan.

  We haven't seen each other for several months, but the younger sister has grown a lot taller.

   Thinking of her current height, Miss Qiao suddenly felt a little nervous.

   Their Qiao family are all tall, Qiao Wan will definitely not be short in the future, she seems to be a little bad...

   "Why doesn't Wanwan talk?" Qiao Mo patted Qiao Wan's head.

   Qiao Wan only then recovered, bit her lip and called out "Sister Li".

   Qiao Zhao replied with a smile: "I came in a hurry and didn't bring a gift. I'll make it up for you next time."

   "No, I'm not a child anymore." Qiao Wan quickly refused, rolled her eyes and asked, "Sister Li, did you go out with my brother-in-law? Why didn't you see my brother-in-law?"

   "Your brother-in-law has something to do, so he won't be back until it's dark." Qiao Zhao said naturally.

   Qiao Wan frowned. She always felt that the girl in front of her was speaking strangely, but she couldn't think of anything strange, and finally sighed: "I thought I would see my brother-in-law soon."

   She has grown taller and more beautiful, and my brother-in-law must be happy to see it.

   Shao Mingyuan, who was being mourned by the little girl Qiao Wan, was standing in the imperial study with his head down at the moment, feeling the anger of the emperor.

Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty still did not go to court, he wore a casual uniform, and stared at Lanshan, the first servant: "Lanshan, Xing Wuyang, but you recommended it to me, what did you say at that time, this person is loyal to his liver, righteousness, blood and heart, You can be a good general. Now what? In collusion with Japanese pirates, officials forced the people to rebel, and even provoked a mutiny. Is the next step to take our country?"

Emperor Ming Kang was so angry that he slapped the dragon case, and the chief assistant Lan Shan knelt down and kowtowed honestly: "Damn the old minister, **** the old minister. The old minister forgot that people can change, the old minister is clumsy and does not know people clearly, please punish the emperor! "

  Ming Emperor Kang stared at Lanshan without saying a word, Lanshan was also a brave man, raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

The spacious imperial study room was crowded with people at the moment. In addition to Shao Mingyuan and Shoufu Lanshan, there were also Jiang Tang, the commander of Jinlinwei, Xu Mingda, the second assistant, Su He, Minister of Rites, and the highest tribunal of the Ministry of Punishment, Ducha Yuan, and Dali Temple. The chief is also impressively in line.

   At this time, everyone stood in the imperial study, trembling and trembling, not daring to say a word to the sound of slaps.

   Although this emperor did not go to court for three days and two ends, he was not the kind of weak and incompetent emperor. If he really wanted to anger the emperor, he should be ready to be cleaned up at any time.

but-

   Everyone bowed their heads and glanced at Lan Shan from the corner of their eyes.

   As the chief assistant of the current dynasty, even in the face of the emperor, if you say you slap yourself, it is really not something that every courtier can do.

   Sure enough, I heard Emperor Kang speak coldly: "Enough, a chief assistant, slaps himself like a slave, lest others not say that I am faint?"

  Lan Shan immediately stopped his hands and kowtowed again and again, with a very humble attitude: "The old minister is guilty, the old minister is guilty, I just hope that the emperor will not ruin his body because of the old minister's anger, it is the blessing of the old minister."

   Everyone rolled their eyes.

   For the sake of flattering Lan Shoufu, they were also convinced.

  Ming Kangdi looked down at Lanshan from a height, and saw that his gray and sparse hair was unraveling because of the repeated movements.

   This is an old minister who has been with him for more than 20 years. He still remembers that he once lamented that Lan Shanxu had happened so well that he was worthy of the laudatory title of "Beautiful Beard".

   In the blink of an eye, the beautiful bearded man of the past has become a bald old man in his late years, which makes people's eyes astringent.

  Life is short and time is ruthless. Sure enough, it is necessary to unswervingly follow the path of immortality in order to sit in the country forever. Emperor Ming Kang sighed in his heart.

  Xu thought of the Avenue of Longevity, and Emperor Ming Kang's anger slightly lessened, and he raised his hand.

  The **** Wei Wuxie, who had been standing behind Ming Kangdi like an invisible man, immediately brought the white fungus soup with just the right temperature and handed it over.

  Emperor Kang moistened his throat and said lightly, "You all told me, what are you going to do about Xing Wuyang?"

   Kneeling on the surface of Lanshan below, he did not dare to change the slightest, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

   He has passed this test for the time being. As for Xing Wuyang, he can only ask for more happiness.

  Ming Kangdi made a fuss and threw out the most troublesome question, all the ministers present bowed their heads and said nothing.

   "Why didn't you speak?" Ming Kangdi's face became more gloomy.

   He didn't want them to be wallflowers by keeping these wine bags and rice bags!

   All the ministers numb their scalps and wink at each other, with one thought in their hearts: You can hurry up and speak, the emperor will be angry if you don't speak!

   "Huh?" Ming Kangdi hummed a word from his nostrils.

   All the ministers shook their legs, making up their minds not to be the first to speak.

   Not to mention the relationship between Xing Wuyang and Shoufu Lanshan, whoever opens this mouth first will be bitten by Lanshan in the future. The most important thing is that Xing Wuyang's crime is light, but he has been in Fudong for many years. If anyone makes this appropriate suggestion and forces Xing Wuyang to reverse, he will be cleaned up by the emperor over and over again.

  Emperor Kang's sinister gaze slowly swept across the crowd, sneering in his heart.

  Don't think he doesn't know what these **** think, and none of them want to take responsibility!

   All of them are important officials of the country and pillars of the court. What do they want to do if they don’t take responsibility? How to scramble to share his elixir?

   Ming Kangdi's eyes finally fell on Kou Xingze, the Minister of Punishment.

   Kou Xing is Qiao Zhao's grandfather.

   "Kou Shangshu, your in-laws didn't die in an accident, but were killed and set on fire. I wonder what you think?"

  Kou Xing immediately knelt down: "I implore the emperor to severely punish the murderer."

   "Uh, the murderer is not only Li Zongyu, the prefect of Jianan, but also has something to do with Xing Wuyang." Emperor Ming Kang said with a half-smile.

  Kou Xing broke out in cold sweat behind his back, thinking to himself: They have accumulated a lifetime of good fortune, and they have put on such an unreliable emperor. The emperor is forcing him to say what to do with Xing Wuyang.

"Your Majesty, this minister believes that although Xing Wuyang's account book confirms Xing Wuyang's evil deeds of embezzling army salaries and colluding with Japanese pirates, the fire in the Qiao family still requires the three judicial divisions to interrogate suspects and bring witnesses to determine whether this matter is related to Xing. Wuyang is related."

   Ming Kangdi pulled the corner of his mouth.

   The old thing played the ball well.

  Humph, who can beat me when it comes to playing football!

   "Kou Shangshu, I remember that I ordered Li Guangyan, the minister of punishment, to investigate the case in Jiafeng. At that time, I came to the conclusion that the fire in the Qiao family was purely accidental!"

   Kou Xing wiped his sweat: "Your Majesty forgive me."

   Emperor Kang snorted coldly and looked at Cifu Xu Mingda: "Xu Cifu, what do you think should be done with Xing Wuyang?"

  Xu Mingda's heart froze, and he thought about it: "It stands to reason that Xing Wuyang's crime is unforgivable. There is no dispute about how to deal with it. It's just that he has been in Fudong for many years and has deep roots. If he doesn't get it right, it may cause turmoil—"

   At this time, Yushi Xing said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
