"Your Majesty, Wei Chen was angry for a while, he spoke disrespectfully, he knew the law and broke the law, it was really a crime that deserved death. Wechen is willing to go to the prison of the Criminal Department on his own, wait for the crime to be tried, and be punished according to the law!"

Gao Qin walked out of the ranks of the hundred officials, knelt down to worship the little emperor, and then prostrated on the ground, his words were sincere, and he couldn't help but be moved when he heard it.

And Dugu Xu, who has been sitting on the opposite side, can't sit still, now he is not sitting, kneeling down and pleading guilty with Gao Qin, it is really a dilemma, like sitting on pins and needles.

What a Gao Qin, saying "knowing the law and breaking the law, and being punished according to the law", pretending to be a brave and loyal minister, hypocritical benevolence and righteousness, it makes people feel disgusting when they look at it; if he wants Dugu to learn from Gao Qin's appearance and kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, it is better to kill him more refreshingly!

But if you don't hurry up and plead guilty, the resentment of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces will gather on him alone, even if he is originally reasonable, he will become the most unreasonable person. Since the death of the first emperor, he Dugu has never bowed down to anyone except the queen mother, how can the current little emperor afford him to bow to Dugu?

But now that the form is stronger than others, what should I do, do I really want to kneel down and ask for sin?

Dugu Xu's sharp and cold gaze glanced at the young official, only to see that the man was calm and relaxed, and seemed to be completely unaware of what a fatal mistake he had just made.

Damn, who is that official, who is to force him Dugu into such a situation, it is really hateful!

Dugu Xu's hands dragged the chair stiffly, and after a battle between heaven and man in his heart, the balance gradually fell to temporarily endure the humiliation, first kneeling on the ground to ask for guilt and then make a calculation.

I looked at the Dugu man with an iron face, and his hands were holding the table and chair with both hands, as if as long as he used force, he could break the armrest.

There is no gate to hell, but man makes himself.

I didn't want to embarrass Dugu, this qiē is just him cocooning himself, and he can't get along with himself.

In fact, as long as Dugu Hui bows his head and asks the little emperor for forgiveness, the little emperor will definitely agree, and he will never be embarrassed with him, but it is a pity that not everyone is willing to admit their mistakes, this kind of people feel that it is more difficult for them to bow their heads and admit their mistakes than to kill them, and Dugu Xue is obviously one of them.

Facing Dugu Xu's murderous gaze, I knew that he had cast all his resentment on me, and when I stood up to protect my uncle Gao Qin, I was already an enemy of the governor of the state town.

This is the political game, you can never do both sides, which side you choose to stand, you have to fight here until the last moment, either your enemy falls, or you die!

Seeing that Dugu was about to leave the chair, it was obvious that he had made a decision that was extremely difficult for him and had to do, that is, to kneel down and plead guilty.

But before Dugu Hui stood up, someone came out to speak for him.

You don't have to think about it to know who this person will be, and it can be said that only this person can come forward now to solve this two-sided situation.

This person is Xiao Yan, the most famous virtuous king among the clansmen!

Xiao Yan is also approaching the age of knowing the destiny of heaven at this time, although his temples and beard have long been dyed with hoarfrost, but his face does not look old, he is still radiant, his eyes are sharp, and he has not lost his spirit and demeanor back then.

It is said that Xiao Yan was still the most brilliant beautiful man in the capital, and he was the dream lover of many deep women.

Although I don't know if this rumor is true, but now that I see Xiao Yan's appearance, it seems that he can vaguely depict the peerless elegance of his youth, and I know that the rumor that he is a beautiful man is □□ not far away.

"Your Majesty, the two adults just have different opinions, and they are in a hurry, so they will speak wildly, and they don't take care of it, which can be regarded as an unintentional mistake; Of course, the quarrel between the two adults in front of the emperor is indeed a bad etiquette that a courtier should abide by, so he will be fined for half a year as a punishment, what does Your Majesty think?"

Xianwang Xiao Yan's words are reasonable and affectionate, and he is really thoughtful on both sides, coupled with the warmth and calmness of his voice, his kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and the name of the virtuous king, as soon as he speaks, the civil and military officials are convinced.

The little emperor was really relieved to see that he could avoid a bloody killing, and it was the virtuous king who pleaded for mercy, so this thin noodle had to be given no matter what.

Now it only depends on how Mrs. Gao views this matter.

The little emperor looked at me nervously, as if he was a little worried that I would cause unnecessary trouble.

Xiao Yan saw that the little emperor was slow to make a decision, so he knew that he had to wait for someone's answer.

Turning around, Xiao Yan looked at me with a smile and said:

"I don't know what Master Gao thinks is appropriate to deal with this matter like this?"

Xiao Yan deliberately lengthened his tone, especially when he shouted 'Master Gao', as if he was afraid that others would not know my surname Gao.

I smiled, thinking to myself in my heart, this virtuous king Xiao Yan is really not an ordinary person!

Now that his uncle has been spared a prison sentence, and Dugu Xue has also saved his face, it can indeed be regarded as a win-win situation, but it has made the suspicion between the Gao family and the governor of the state and town more and more deep, I am afraid that the biggest beneficiary of this matter is someone else!

"The wise king will judge the matter, and it will be fair. ”

With a slight bow, I returned to the ranks, and I agreed with what Xiao Yan said, and this matter ended here.

When the little emperor saw that I had retreated into the ranks of the hundred officials, he also agreed to the mention of the virtuous king, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly said:

"So, are there any other officials who have doubts about this disposition?"

The civil and military officials looked at each other, this matter was related to Prime Minister Gao and General Dugu, and King Xian came forward to protect him, what objections could they have?

Immediately, the civil and military officials said in unison:

"The ministers seconded it!"

Seeing that the civil and military officials had no objections, the little emperor immediately issued an order and said:

"Okay, then I will follow the performance of King Xian and punish Prime Minister Gao and General Dugu for half a year as a punishment!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Immediately afterwards, the civil and military officials shouted like praise, which couldn't help but make the little emperor a little fluttering.

"Okay, that's the end of today's performance, let's retreat!"

After speaking, the little emperor jumped down from the throne, then raised his sleeves and walked out of the main hall with great vigour.

"Congratulations to His Majesty!"

In the bowing sound of the civil and military officials, today's tense court meeting came to an end, and then the hundred officials withdrew from the main hall in turn.

Today, my uncle was not the first to walk out of the hall, but the virtuous king Xiao Yan led Dugu Yu out of the hall first.

When everyone dispersed, my uncle was still kneeling in the center of the hall, and for some reason, he felt a little sad, and his heart was inevitably depressed, not a taste.

Others looked at my uncle as arbitrary and domineering, but even so, my uncle never had the heart to make trouble.

What he wants to do wholeheartedly is to reform the maladministration of the minister!

But he did make a mistake in his words, and he didn't blame that Dugu Hao took this as an excuse and took the opportunity to frame him.

Uncle is probably the saddest thing about him.

Believe and be suspicious, loyal and slandered, can you have no complaints?

"Uncle, nephew will send you home!"

I walked over and helped my uncle to get up, this is the first time I call him uncle in this court, in the past, I could only see his straight back when he was the first to leave the court, but now I see the figure of an old man who is almost half a hundred years old.

"I'm old, it seems that I'm old!"

My uncle let me hold him, and he couldn't help but say this, which made him feel like he was quite old and a hero was in the twilight.

After a long absence, he looked at me with appreciation, patted me on the shoulder, and said:

"In the future, it will be the world of your young people, the young phoenix is clear from the old phoenix, God treats our Gao family well, and the rise and fall of the Gao family in the future will all depend on you and Wei'er!"

After saying that, my uncle gently pushed my hand away, and he wanted to walk out of the court with his chest puffed up.

I bowed to my uncle with emotion, and watched his somewhat desolate back gradually disappear at the gate of the court.

I looked back at this huge and splendid court, and the throne that symbolized supreme power, how many heroes and heroes buried their youth here, mourned the twilight, and then buried their lives.

It's like a luxurious stage, where countless characters and countless stories are constantly staged, the old ones are gone, and then the new ones continue to open, maybe this big show will be like this forever sung!

The only thing that goes back and forth and will not change at will is this huge stage, which constantly changes its owners, experiences great changes, and witnesses the rolling torrent of history gradually disappearing, and we are just a drop in the ocean, no matter how hard we struggle, we can only leave a little bit of meager figure, but even so, this is also the evidence that we have existed here.

And, I believe, soon, this will be my stage!

I turned around, turned around, and walked away into the unknown, fists clenched, trying to create a world of our own!

......

Xiao Yan and Dugu Xue walked side by side, without saying anything all the way, just because after coming out of the court, Dugu Xue had an iron face, which showed that Fang Cai's incident was regarded by him as a great shame and unforgettable.

"Thank you King Xian for your help, the old man is grateful!"

In the end, it was Dugu who broke the peace first, and those who should be thanked still had to thank him.

When Xiao Yan heard this, he just smiled, and then said:

"The old general is polite, this is Xiao Yan's business, and the old general doesn't need to mind. ”

"Eh~ A thousand years of winning people's grace, I have always had clear grievances, the virtuous king and I have grace, this kindness is remembered by the old man, as for the hatred, one day it will be clear!"

Dugu Hui's words can't reach Xiao Yan's ears, he is not a fool, how can he not know that this Dugu Xue is a person who has revenge, but he may not repay his kindness.

I think how much the emperor valued him back then, and he was favored, didn't he also raise a tiger in the end?

He Xiao Yan won't repeat the mistakes of the past, but they just use each other and take what they need!

"The old general is quick to talk, which makes Xiao Yan admire!"

"Where, where!"

Immediately, the two bowed again, to show that the two of them were heart-to-heart and became confidants.

"By the way, King Xian, you just called that person Master Gao, and that young official can have anything to do with the Gao family?"

Dugu Xue finally asked the question, and got to the point.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile to himself, and said:

"The old general doesn't know, that young man is none other than the eldest son and grandson of the Gao family, the champion of the year, and the current big horse of the dynasty - Gao Chen!"

Hearing the name Gao Chen, Dugu was slightly stunned, isn't this the brave and resourceful young man that Xin'er often mentions?

Dugu Xue rarely heard his good grandson praise anyone, and when he first heard the name Gao Chen from Xin'er's mouth, he was also quite surprised, thinking that since Xin'er had taken a fancy to this person's strategy, he persuaded him to take this person under his command and send him for him.

None of the talents that Xin'er fancied would refuse his invitation, because those people were either impressed by Xin'er's strategy and courage, or they had already died under Xin'er's world-class martial arts.

If you don't use it for me, it's a scourge to keep it!

This is the mantra that Xin'er often hangs on his lips, and he is also a creed of physical behavior, and everything he does has never disappointed his grandfather!

Hearing Xin'er say that this Gao Chen didn't know the height of the sky, he refused Xin'er's invitation, originally thought that Xin'er would take this person's life mercilessly as usual, but he didn't expect that he would let Gao Chen continue to live until now.

Because Xin'er did not regard Gao Chen as a wild dog that should be domesticated, but regarded him as his strongest and most powerful opponent.

He said that life without opponents is boring.

It's been a long time since he's met such an interesting opponent, and he wants to know how much Gao Chen can do and how big a wave he can make!

Well, now this Gao Chen is worthy of being the person Xin'er looks down on, and after this incident, it can be seen that he does have a bit of skill, but he wants to be an enemy of Xin'er, and he still lacks some heat!

"The Gao family has Gao Wei, and the Wen has Gao Chen, so both civil and military, the Gao family is really blessed!"

Dugu Xue suddenly let out this emotion, but to Xiao Yan's ears, it seemed to have a deep meaning.

"Why does the old general envy the Gao family, don't you also have a grandson Duguxin, who is all-round in civil and military affairs and unparalleled in the world? ”

"Haha, King Xian is overrated. Xin'er is still inexperienced in politics, and there will be more cultivation by King Lao Xian in the future!"

"Where, as it should be!"

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they were all silent.

Walking to the fork in the road, Xiao Yan and Dugu exchanged fists and saluted.

Xiao Yan looked up at today's blue sky and smiled slightly.

"Gao Wei and Gao Chen will be the biggest obstacle when eradicating the Gao family, if you can, please kill them!"

The virtuous king Xiao Yan said this sentence lightly in Dugu Xu's ear, this seemed to be some kind of reminder, was it asking him not to underestimate these two yellow-mouthed children of the Gao family?

Dugu Xu sneered, killing these two people was simply a breeze.

He hasn't seen Gao Wei yet, and it is said that he is also a fierce general, and that Gao Chen's power is considered to have seen it, and he has really suffered a lot, Dugu Xue has already had the intention of killing him, but Xin'er's side, will he blame him for being a grandfather, making his own opinions?

"King Xian, it's understandable to kill Gao Wei's old husband, but if you want to kill Gao Chen, wouldn't you want to make your newly married grandniece widowed?

Dugu pinched his long snow-like beard and asked leisurely.

"Those who achieve great things are not informal. It's no wonder I'm ruthless about this, if I want to blame her, I can only blame her for being born in this imperial family!"

The virtuous king Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, as if this decision was made by him out of desperation.

"Okay, the old man appreciates the kingly style of King Xian. King Xian can rest assured, it is easy to kill the two of them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu laughed and left quickly.

Xiao Yan, the virtuous king who stayed behind, looked at the direction in which Dugu Yu left, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!
