On the fifth day after Zhenbei King's body was transported back to the capital, it was dark at that time.

Outside the Meridian Gate, in the stone lamps, the candle flickered with the orange light, and the torches held by the two lines of the forbidden army complemented each other.

The ministers gathered at the Meridian Gate in the cool wind, waiting for the morning. Occasionally, officials who were familiar with each other bowed their heads to talk, whispered and kept quiet.

Officials seem to be holding a breath, expanding, but introverted, waiting for the opportunity to explode.

"Dong Dong Dong......"

when the day is light, the drums are beating on the city floor of the Meridian Gate.

Civil and military officials in tacit understanding of the line, in the slowly open palace door, in turn into.

......

Jinluan hall!

The officials of Sipin and above stepped into the hall and waited for a quarter of an hour in silence. Emperor Jingdi in Daopao arrived late.

After many days, the emperor, whose hair turned black, was haggard and puffy, and his eyes were bloodshot. Fully show the image of a brother who lost his brother.

The civil servants were surprised. You know, your majesty pays most attention to health preservation and dragon body maintenance. Since the cultivation of Taoism, he has been in good health and looks ruddy.

Have you ever been so haggard?

Many people look at each other in silence and feel awe inspiring.

The old eunuch took a look at emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty and said in a loud voice, "if you have something to play, you have nothing to retreat."

Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou, marched out and bowed before the generals. He said in a deep voice:

"I would like to inform your majesty that Huai king, the commander of Chuzhou, colluded with the God of witchcraft and the leader of the local clan, promoted himself to the second rank and slaughtered 380000 people in Yunzhou city. Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, there has been no such atrocity. Your majesty, please demote the king of Huai as a common people, hang his head in the city for three days, and pay homage to 380000 wronged souls... "Tell the world."

Yuan Jingdi looked at him deeply with no expression on his face.

Surprisingly, in the face of the emperor's anger in silence, Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou, looked at each other without fear.

At this time, Wang Shoufu came out and said in a respectful voice:

"King Huai's move has caused a lot of anger and resentment in the capital. If you can't give an account to the rest of the world and fear a civil commotion, please demote King Huai as a common people and hang his head in the city for three days to pay homage to the 380000 wronged souls of Chuzhou City. "

On the court hall, the princes bent down and said, "please demote the king of Huai as a common people, hang his head in the city for three days, and pay homage to 380000 wronged souls of Chuzhou City."

Emperor yuan Jing got up slowly and looked down on the court officials with a cold face.

The muscles of his face twitch slowly, and the veins of his forehead bulge one by one. Suddenly... He turns over the big case in front of him.

Kuang Dang......

the big case tumbled down the steps and smashed heavily in front of the public.

Then, the old emperor roared: "King Huai is my younger brother. Why do you want to demote him as a commoner? Do you want me to issue an edict against myself? Do you still have me in your eyes? I've lost my brother like a broken arm. I don't know how to sympathize with him. I've been gathering at the palace gate for several days. Do you want to force me to death? "

The old emperor's face was ferocious, his eyes were red, and he looked like a helpless old beast.

This..... All of you are stunned.

During his thirty-seven years in office, Yuanjing emperor's image of deep-seated mind and superb political skills was deeply rooted in the hearts of civil and military officials.

They never thought that one day, this deep emperor, should have such a sad time.

And the contrast between this posture and the inherent impression in front of the courtiers makes people sad.

The high spirit of the ministers is one of the stagnation.

Before all the princes could react from the great shock, Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty sat down dejectedly, with an undisguised look of sadness on his face:

"when I was the crown prince, the former Emperor was afraid of me, and I was in a precarious position, and I was trembling all day. It was king Huai who supported me all the time. Just because we are the same mother and brothers.

"In those days, King Huai held the Zhenguo sword to kill the enemy and defend the territory for the Empire. If he had not been brave enough to die in the Shanhaiguan campaign, how could he have enjoyed the prosperity of today? We should all accept his feelings.

"After the battle of Shanhaiguan, the king of Huai was ordered to go north to guard the frontier for me. In the past ten years, he has only returned to Beijing a few times. King Huai really made a big mistake, but after all, he was already in law. Did the ministers not let go of his fame? "

Interrupted by Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty, the officials couldn't find the rhythm for a while, and no one spoke for a long time.

But it doesn't matter, there is always a person willing to be a pawn in the hall.

Zheng Buzheng said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the merits and demerits are not equal. It's true that the king of Huai has made great contributions in recent years, but the court has already rewarded him for his merits, and the people love him a lot. Now that he has committed a heinous crime, he should be punished severely. Otherwise, your majesty will bend the law for personal gain. "

Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty yelled: "bastard, you've been jumping up and down in Beijing these days, slandering the royal family and the prince. I think you've been diligent and hardworking all these years, and you've been enduring you till now."The case of King Huai has not been decided yet. As long as it is not decided for one day, he will be innocent. It's a capital crime for you to slander the prince!"

"Your majesty

Wang Zhenwen suddenly broke the rhythm of Yuanjing emperor and said, "let's talk about Zheng Buzheng's affairs later. Let's talk about huaiwang first."

Emperor yuan Jing gave him a deep look. His eyes passed Wang Zhenwen and stopped for a moment.

As if in response to Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty, a man immediately stepped out and said in a high voice, "Your Majesty, I have something to start."

All the officials went according to their prestige, and it was the Ministry of rites that gave Yao Lin everything.

As we all know, it's a professional sprayer, a mad dog in the court, who catches and bites. At the same time, they were also the pioneers in the struggle of the court.

Sure enough, it's not disappointing this time.

Yao Lin bowed his head slightly and said in a high voice: "I want to impeach Wang Zhenwen, the first assistant, and instruct the former Minister of rites to collude with the demon clan and blow up Sangbo."

There was a slight commotion in the hall.

The princes looked at each other with strange faces. These days, Wang Zhenwen led a group of ministers to encircle the palace gate. He was famous and could be called the vanguard of "forcing the emperor to death".

He was impeached at this time. It seems that he should be impeached.

However, as a matter of fact, the former Minister of rites was indeed a member of the Wang party. It is hard to say whether he was instructed by Wang Shoufu.

The inside story of Sangbo case is that the former Minister of rites colluded with the demon clan to blow up Sangbo. The chip given by the demon clan is the body of Henghui and Princess Pingyang.

Through this pair of hard-earned lovers, the crime of the Liang party was exposed.

In essence, it is a party struggle, and the demons act as foreign aid.

Does Wang Shoufu really know nothing about it? In this regard, only they know whether they want to make a question mark or draw a full stop.

Then, Yao Lin announced several major crimes of Wang Zhenwen, such as conniving at the corruption and bribery of his subordinates, such as accepting bribes from his subordinates....

without mentioning the Sangbo case, the following crimes are definitely certain.

A man with clean hands, who is the first assistant?

Who wants to follow you.

Your majesty is going to set an example to others..... The public is awed by the fact that although Confucianism has dragon killing skills, there is still an insurmountable gap between monarchs and ministers.

Yuanjing emperor is not a young emperor, on the contrary, he overlooks half of the hall.

Wang Shoufu raised his head and saw Yuanjing emperor looking at him coldly. He immediately stopped hesitating and said in a deep voice: "I beg for the bones"

emperor Yuanjing's eyes flashed fiercely and was about to open his mouth. At this time, the imperial censor Zhang Xingying stepped out and bowed to him and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Shoufu is corrupt and will bring disaster to the country and the people

Zhang Yushi is a man of Wei Yuan.

Emperor Yuanjing was silent for a long time. Yu Guang glanced at Wei Yuan, who was an old monk, and said, "King Shoufu is serious. He works hard for the Empire. I trust you."

The balance created by yuanjingdi is now his biggest shackle.

If you change into anyone, you will be dismissed. But Wang Shoufu can't. He is the only one who can check and balance Wei Yuan in the court.

Without him, even if emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty supported other parties, it was not enough for Wei Yuan to fight with one hand.

In a short period of time, Wang Jingyuan and Wang Jingyuan had completed a battle.

Emperor Yuanjing made a small profit, which suppressed the arrogance of the officials and awed the public. Wang Shoufu and Wei Yuan are also good, because the topic is brought back to the huaiwang massacre case.

"Your Majesty, please punish the king of Zhenbei severely, convict him and give an account to all the people in the world."

Finally, Wei Yuan came out.

The princes immediately agreed, but this time, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty took a glance and found that a small number of people had not moved.

His mouth does not leak traces of the hook, the court is ultimately above the interests of the main, their own interests above all. Just now, it is cost-effective to scare so few people.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the case of Chuzhou should be considered in the long run, and the king of Huai should not be convicted blindly."

The first voice of opposition appeared.

The speaker is yuan Xiong, the censor of zuodou.

Emperor Yuanjing frowned and asked, "why did yuan Aiqing say that?"

Yuan Xiong suddenly got excited and said in a loud voice, "King Huai is your Majesty's younger brother and Prince Dafeng. It's about the face of the royal family and your majesty. How can we make a conclusion easily."

Shameless!

The civil servants scolded in their hearts.

This Liao used the imperial examination fraud case last time to allude to Wei Yuan and offended the Dongge bachelor. After the imperial examination, the Dongge bachelor united with Wei Yuan to impeach yuan Xiong.

Finally, his majesty kept the Tusk and punished him for three months.

Now, he has become his Majesty's knife to fight back against the whole civil service group for him.

"Your Majesty, what the censor yuan Du said is reasonable..."

at this time, an old man, leaning on crutches, came out of the train.The old man's hair is silvery white, but not black. He is wearing a crown with a big red background and a golden five clawed Golden Dragon.

Li Wang!

The younger brother of the former Emperor, the uncle of emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty and King Huai.

"Uncle Huang, why are you here? I said you don't have to go to court." Emperor yuan Jing seemed to be surprised and said, "please show uncle Huang a seat as soon as possible."

"If I don't come here again, I'm afraid I'll be ruined in the hands of your unworthy descendants." The old man gave a cold hum.

Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty bowed his head and said nothing.

When the chair came, the old man turned the direction of the chair and sat down in front of the ministers. Then he gave a cold hum: "Dafeng is the Dafeng of all the people in the world, and it is also the Dafeng of my royal family.

"Emperor Gaozu had a hard time in starting a business. He swept away the corruption of the previous dynasty and established a new dynasty. How much blood and sweat did emperor Wuzong pay to kill his courtiers.

"King Huai has made a big mistake and deserves to die, but as long as he is still alive for one day, we will not allow you to tarnish the reputation of our royal family."

Zheng Xinghuai's blood gushed to his face and said in a deep voice: "old prince, there are many kings who have committed crimes since he was founded six hundred years ago..."

before he finished his words, he was interrupted by King Li forcefully. The old man yelled: "you are the king, and your ministers are the ministers. You read all the books of sages and sages from the Imperial Academy. Have you forgotten Cheng Yasheng's teachings?"

My head felt numb.

If emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty said this, the princes would be very happy. They would give you advice one by one. Stepping on the emperor is the most enjoyable thing in the eyes of scholars all over the world.

It can be said that Li Wang was brilliant when he was young. He was a famous talent in the capital. In front of him, the princes could only be regarded as the younger generation.

The status of Prince and scholar elder is higher than others. He relies on the old to sell his old, and there is no way for anyone.

Once again, the arrogance of the radicals has been suppressed.

"Ah, Li Wang, think twice."

Wei Yuan's sigh sounded.

Li Wang looked at Wei Yuan with a straight back and a straight face: "hum, this eunuch should have been a slave in the palace. If it wasn't for your Majesty's wise eyes and the opportunity, you would have today's scenery?"

Wei Yuan bowed his head, made a gesture of showing weakness, and then said:

"if King Li was concerned about the Royal reputation, he should not cover it up for King Huai. Yesterday, three great Confucians of Yunlu academy wanted to come to the capital to denounce your majesty, but I stopped them.

"The three great Confucians said that the imperial court could change the history books, but the history books of Yunlu Academy were not controlled by the imperial court. Remember the massacre of eight hundred thousand people in Beiyun academy today. It has been handed down to later generations. And your majesty, covering up his younger brother and committing the same crime, will be engraved in the history books

Yuan Jingdi's face changed greatly.

The radicals looked at each other.

The Confucian Academy is arrogant and arrogant, but it's a good way to get rid of arrogance!

The Academy of unofficial history said, "who cares about the future generations?"

He said this to Emperor Yuanjing, telling his nephew, who wanted to practice Taoism and love fame, not to be threatened by Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan said: "King Li has no bad deeds in his life, and he has learned a lot. He is a model of the royal family and a model of the scholar. Don't be written down by Yunlu academy because of this. His late life is not guaranteed."

Li Wang suddenly changed his color, raised his finger, pointed to Wei Yuan, and said: "Wei Yuan, do you dare to threaten the king, do you want to rebel?"

Wang Shoufu said faintly: "when did remonstrance become a threat?"

"You, you..."

Li Wang Qi's whole body trembled and his chest heaved.

Li Wang studied since he was a child. Although he had the status of Prince, he always regarded himself as a scholar. He cared more about the four words of "being famous in history" than ordinary military generals.

The common faults of scholars.

Wei Yuan's words really scared the king of Li. The official and unofficial history just now is just a consolation to Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty. Scholars know more about the authority of Yunlu Academy.

Fight in the court, you come and I go, see move, break move.

When Emperor Yuan Jing saw that King Li did not speak any more, he knew that this move had been resolved by the "enemy". However, the next move was the key to his victory.

Thinking of this, he took a look at Cao Guogong in xungui's team.

The state of Cao led the God's meeting with the public heart, stepped out and said in a high voice: "Your Majesty, I have a word."

PS: ask for a monthly pass. It seems that I haven't asked for a monthly pass this month.

In addition, it is not recommended to wait after midnight in the next chapter today. But there will be no shortage of updates.
