Prime Minister Yang Ruixin knelt on the ground and didn't say much, it can be seen from the slight trembling on his body that his heart is not calm at this time, the emperor no longer pays attention to the prime minister, and pacing in the Palace of Nourishing Heart by himself.

It was just a cup of tea, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and the emperor turned his head to look outside, and then walked to the front of the hall and sat down, not knowing what he was thinking. The prime minister was still leaning over the ground, and when he heard the movement outside, he tilted his head slightly to listen, and the tremor on his body was also reduced a lot.

The first to come in was Pan Mingyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, followed by Chen Chang'an and Li Qingquan in cyan robes, while Yang Xian was still in a coma and was brought in by two guards and thrown to the ground.

Everyone knelt on one knee and said in unison, "See Your Majesty." ”

The emperor flicked his sleeves, "Flatten." ”

At this time, Yang Xian's eyelids raised slightly, and everyone on the side noticed it, so they didn't speak and waited for Yang Xian to wake up.

Yang Xian only felt unbearable colic pain in his lower abdomen at this time, raised his eyelids slightly, and the first thing he saw was Chen Changan and Li Qingquan, Yang Xian was naturally extremely angry, and was about to open his mouth but found that his father was also kneeling aside, and the only one who could make his father kneel was probably the current saint.

Hurriedly turned his head, and saw that the emperor was looking at him with a smile, Yang Xian's mind was slight, his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth rose slightly, but his eyes were still indifferent, "Yang Xian, are you guilty?"

Yang Xian's body stiffened obviously, and the majesty of the emperor almost overwhelmed him and he was about to blurt out his guilt, but when he thought that his father was on the side, once he confessed, his father would inevitably ask for mercy, but His Majesty the Emperor was so majestic that his father would inevitably be affected.

If he didn't admit his guilt, his father really didn't know about it anyway, but his father was angry and angry, maybe he was very disappointed in him Yang Xian, and handed it over to the emperor instead, so that he could protect others from being implicated.

Yang Xian was silent for a moment and said: "Weichen doesn't know what the crime is, I hope Your Majesty will see it." ”

Sure enough, the prime minister who knelt on the side heard his son's words, and his heart was settled, and he said that his youngest son had both ability and political integrity since he was a child, and he was full of poetry and books as early as eight years old, and was praised by the capital as one of the top ten young talents, and he would definitely not lie in front of the emperor, and someone must have framed him.

The prime minister straightened up, moaned and trembled a little, and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao'er has both talents and qualities since he was a child, I don't know what crime he has committed?"

The emperor turned around and wondered, "Oh?

Although the prime minister said that he was in power and the opposition, and his eyes were all over the major yamen, he did notice that before today, there were three waves of people who had investigated his house, but he ended the investigation inexplicably, and he really didn't care.

Then he said: "The old minister really doesn't know. ”

The emperor nodded and ignored the prime minister, and said to Pan Mingyi: "Pan Mingyi, you should explain to the prime minister why you brought Yang Xian here today!"

Pan Mingyi nodded and said, "Prime Minister, the reason why your son brought him here today is because he is the person behind the disappearance of the girl a few days ago. The two behind me can testify. ”

Chen Changan and Li Qingquan nodded at the same time.

The prime minister frowned slightly, and said: "Master Pan, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! How dare Xiao'er do such a depraved thing under the nose of the old man, I am saying, what qualifications do these two people have to testify against Xiao'er, I'm afraid that someone is deliberately framing him, right?"

After speaking, he said to his youngest son: "Xian'er, you say, what Master Pan said is the truth? ”

Yang Xian wanted to say that he didn't do it, but how could the emperor be so deceiving, he brought himself and others to the Heart Cultivation Palace, for fear that he had the intention of suppressing his father. But what would happen to my father if he told the truth?

Just this hesitation, the prime minister saw something, and his eyes flashed with a thick disappointment for a moment, but he was immediately hidden, and hugged his fist to the emperor again and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao'er must have been framed by others, I hope Your Majesty will see it!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, leaned forward, and said, "Lord Yang, are you still obsessed?"

The prime minister's psychology of wanting to continue fighting again was instantly crushed, his eyes became fierce, he turned around and stepped in front of Yang Xian, slapped his arm round, and threw Yang Xian to the ground, but he still didn't care, led it up, and kicked Yang Xian to his knees with one kick.

Turned around and knelt down for the emperor again, buckled his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Xiao'er was confused for a while, and he made such a big mistake, this is all to blame for the old minister's lax discipline, and please punish Your Majesty, the child's sins, the old minister bears it alone!"

Yang Xian swollen half of his face, looking at his father in front of him in a daze, he had never seen such a father, in his impression, his father always looked majestic, all the officials bowed their heads when they met, and the ministers all bowed their heads when they met, this is such a father is kneeling in front of the emperor like this now, for him as an unfilial son.

Tears involuntarily remained.

Seeing that the emperor didn't make a sound, the prime minister slapped Yang Xian in the face again, and shouted: "Son, still don't know what is wrong?"

Yang Xian closed his eyes tightly, slammed on the ground, his voice was a little crying, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen knows that he is wrong, this matter is planned by Weichen alone, because cultivation requires the pulse blood of the girl, so he made this decision, my father doesn't know at all, please punish Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, the emperor clapped his hands lightly and said: "What a father and son have a deep relationship, I am a little moved to see it, Mr. Yang, what do you say?"

As soon as the prime minister heard the emperor call himself Mr. Yang, his heart was like a knife, this title was exactly what His Majesty called himself when he was a child, and at this time he also understood what the emperor meant.

The Emperor sighed and nodded slightly. With a flick of his sleeves, Yang Xian only felt a sharp pain in the dantian, and his body was like a bowl with a hole, and the accumulated aura leaked out of the hole.

The emperor ignored the father and son, and said to Chen Changan with a chuckle: "Chen Changan, at this time, you have merit, I can give you the previous rewards, and I can promise you one thing." ”

Chen Changan hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at Li Qingquan, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you don't want to reward the grass people on the emperor's list, I just hope that Your Majesty can promise the grass people one thing." ”

The emperor was a little curious: "Oh, you are Chen Chang'an, do you want a big promise?

Chen Changan smiled slightly: "I don't know Your Majesty, Yang Xian Gongzi still has a marriage contract with Miss Qingquan, it is really a pity that Yang Gongzi has this incident, but Miss Qingquan's lifelong happiness cannot be delayed here." ”

As soon as these words came out, the prime minister, father and son, who had been quiet, suddenly turned their heads to stare at Chen Changan, the prime minister's eyes were only disappointed, but Yang Xian's eyes were full of hatred.

The emperor glanced at Chen Changan and Li Qingquan a few times and said, "Okay, I am in charge, and this marriage contract is invalid." ”

Li Qingquan looked at Chen Changan, his eyes were full of gratitude and some unknown small emotions, his face flushed slightly, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose.

The emperor took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Yang, Pan Aiqing, you should step down." ”

The three of them said in unison: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Prime Minister Yang Ruixin did not stand up directly, carefully took off the official hat with both hands, put it in front of him, and then stood up, took off an official uniform, folded it neatly and placed it next to the official hat, and reluctantly glanced at it, before being helped away by Yang Xian, whose eyes were full of red.

At this time, Yang Xian also knew that His Majesty meant to call his father Mr. Yang...... Looking at his father beside him, Yang Xian never felt that he was so old.

Within a moment, a holy decree was announced to the world, "The prime minister is old, step down from the post of prime minister, serve as an honorary prince, reward a hundred taels of gold, and retire in the mansion of the prince." The post of prime minister is held by Chang Wuqin, the auxiliary minister. The original marriage contract between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Li Mansion was annulled. ”
