Chapter 357: Intent

"The emperor has thought about who he wants to send to try the case of King Ning's treason against the enemy?"

Song Wenru did come to the emperor for King Ning's matter, but he originally planned to talk about it tomorrow morning, but suddenly received news that Zhan Shichun was going to enter the palace to see the emperor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He thought about the tragic scene under the conjuring stage in the western suburbs of the capital, and he was not at ease, so he hurried to see the emperor.

Now that the emperor listens to the words of the Taoist priest, he has to do a few ridiculous things from time to time, and he really can't relax for a moment.

"How about Xie Youyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department?" Xiao Shaoyun didn't think twice.

Song Wenru vetoed: "Your Majesty, if King Ning is not convicted for a day, he can't arbitrarily cut the knighthood and ban him for a day, and Xie Youyuan's qualifications are not enough to try the prince's case." ā€

"In your opinion, who should be tried?"

"The minister thinks that it is very appropriate for Wu Zhengmao, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, to be tried together with the prince of Anxi County. Wu Zhengmao has lived in Dali Temple Zhengqing for nearly ten years, and his prestige and ability can convince the public, and the king of Anxi County is highly respected, and he is also the position of Zongzheng, these two people can best convince the public when they try the case of King Ning. ā€

"Since the prime minister thinks it's good, then so be it. Originally, there was nothing to try in this case. ā€

Xiao Shaoyun's meaning is very clear, he doesn't care who tries it.

Anyway, no matter who comes to trial, King Ning is a dead word, he will never be a woman with any high wall to prohibit him, and the reason why he has to try the first trial is just to give an explanation to the people of the world, lest the old ministers in the court and the central government say that he fabricated charges and mutilated his siblings.

Song Wen couldn't see that the emperor had murderous intentions towards King Ning, although he felt that persuasion at this time would not have any effect, but he still persuaded him according to his duty:

"Your Majesty, when the first emperor was there, he often lamented that there were not many heirs, and the emperor's hands and feet were only His Royal Highnesses King Ning and King Jin, and the first emperor was ...... when he died."

"If my father is here, I'm afraid that I won't need to be judged, and I will just die!"

Xiao Shaoyun coldly interrupted Song Wenru, and also made his words clear: "My father is upright all his life, and what he hates most is the person who betrays Daqi! Such an heir, if my father has a spirit in the sky, I am afraid that he will be more angry than me! The prime minister does not have to intercede for him, if he has been keeping to himself, I may not be able to tolerate him, but he is so self-inflicted, it will not be tolerated by heaven and earth!"

Regarding King Ning's treason with the enemy, Xiao Shaoyun was actually surprised and angry, and he was in the middle of it.

In the previous life, King Ning had been shrinking in Ningzhou An'an, and he didn't find a chance to clean him up until he died, in this life, since he did his own evil, then don't blame him for being ruthless!

"The emperor is angry, not that the old minister intercedes for King Ning, but that when the first emperor was dying, he gave the princes and the eldest princess a thing, can the emperor still remember?

Because of Zhan Shichun on his side, Song Wenru said very vaguely.

That thing is naturally a one-person-by-one order card, which has been pierced in Xiao Shaoyun's heart like a thorn over the years, and this villain clearly refers to the King of Qin, Xiao Shaoyun is clear in his heart.

Xiao Shaoyun glanced at Song Wenru deeply, and there was a little sarcasm in his smile: "I remember that the prime minister is only more than fifty years old now, how can he have such a memory...... The gentleman is also what you said, and the villain is also what you said, let me, I don't know who to listen to, but that thing can only be used in ordinary things, the prime minister thinks that collaborating with the enemy and treason is it an ordinary thing?"

These words almost made it clear that Song Wenru was old and faint, and he reversed himself, and Song Wenru's old face suddenly turned red.

It was indeed he who said that the king of Qin was loyal and righteous, and there would be no dissent......

But at this time, he really didn't want the emperor to be so eager to ask for his brother's life!

If King Ning's case is really wronged, he will go underground in the future, how can he have the face to see the first emperor?

"The Emperor's ......"

Song Wenru still wanted to persuade him, but Xiao Shaoyun waved his hand impatiently: "What the prime minister means, I already know in my heart that I am not a faint king, and I will definitely not wronged him, if the prime minister is not at ease, I will try this case together with Wu Zhengmao and the king of Anxi County." ā€

Song Wenru was intercepted by the emperor, thinking about it, it was already the best to reach this result with the emperor today.

When the time comes, he will look at it more, and he will not wronged King Ning in vain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ā€

The matter was settled, and Song Wenru stood aside very interestingly, but had no intention of leaving.

Zhan Shichun looked at Song Wenru and said with a slight smile: "Lord Song is not busy today?"

Song Wenru snorted coldly: "No matter how busy you are, don't be in a hurry at this time, and listen to what Lord Zhan has to say to the emperor." ā€

"Your Majesty, look ......"

James Shichun only looked at the emperor.

Song Wen didn't wait for the emperor to speak, so he said coldly: "I have just spoken to the emperor, but I have never been as sneaky as Lord Zhan, if I am open-minded, what are we afraid of? You and I are both courtiers, and in front of the emperor, nothing can be said to others!"

Xiao Shaoyun understood why Song Wenru appeared with Zhan Shichun, and it turned out that he was staring at Zhan Shichun.

He was very happy to see the courtiers restraining each other, but Song Wen was very displeased with what he said and did today.

"It's hot weather, if Lord Song is not busy, go home early to rest. ā€

Song Wenru's face suddenly turned like ashes.

This sounds polite, but it is really driving him away - the emperor was not like this before!

"Old minister, retire. ā€

Thinking that he had annoyed the emperor today, Song Wenru could only follow the holy will and retreat.

Before leaving, he still looked at James Shichun several times uneasily.

Zhan Shichun's wrinkled face and smile did not decrease: "Lord Song, just rest assured, Zhan has always been loyal to the emperor, and will neither collaborate with the enemy and treason, nor bring disaster to the country and the people." ā€

Song Wenru snorted disdainfully and walked out of the door.

If there is any bad idea about this James Shichun, it will reach his ears in less than half a day.

When Song Wenru left, Xiao Shaoyun rubbed his eyebrows: "How is the Soul Conjuring Platform?"

"The Spiritualist Altar has reached sixty zhang, and according to the current process, it can be built before the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's just that the construction of the Spiritualist Terrace costs a lot of money, and there is little silver left in the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Household does not allocate silver two, and the old minister is worried that the Spiritualist Terrace will not be sustainable, and it will delay the return of Empress Xiaoyuan, so he came to explain to the emperor. ā€

When it comes to silver, Xiao Shaoyun is very hot.

Nowadays, the soul conjuring platform needs silver, and the border pass also uses silver to fight wars, and in recent days, there has been a great drought in various places, and silver is also needed for canal irrigation, he has never thought that the peaceful and prosperous era of Daqi will be so poor!

"At this time, I will give an order to the household department, do you have anything else?"

James Shichun bowed and said: "The minister looked at the sky last night, only to see the small stars next to the big stars in the sky, there seems to be a chaotic image, the minister thinks that now in the palace, there are the relatives of the Empress Xiaoyuan, and there are the people entrusted by the general soul of the Empress Xiaoyuan, and now it is only appropriate to wait for the other half of the soul of the Empress Xiaoyuan, and it is not appropriate to leave the woman in the palace, so as not to disturb the soul of the Empress Xiaoyuan." ā€

Xiao Shaoyun raised his eyebrows: "You left people in the palace? I left people on the front foot, and you knew it on the back foot, but I don't know when my palace became a sieve!"

Zhan Shichun did not deny that he had left eyeliner in the palace: "It is a matter of summoning spirits, and the ministers should do their best, besides, there was a sign in the sky last night, and today the emperor wants to leave Bai Chenghuan in the palace, which really makes the ministers feel uneasy." ā€

Xiao Shaoyun was a little relieved, but sighed: "Then can you tell me who the other half of Empress Xiaoyuan's soul will be placed on? If it is not the same person as An Zhulin, then how should I choose?"

For a while, Xiao Shaoyun couldn't completely disbelieve Zhan Shichun's words.

After all, whether it was Bai Chenghuan or An Zhulin, they all appeared in front of him after the conjuring platform was raised.

Zhan Shichun has long been aware of such questions: "Back to the emperor, this matter is only based on the will of heaven, and after the conjuring platform is completed, heaven will have an omen." ā€

Xiao Shaoyun pondered for a long time, and only said: "I know." ā€

He didn't believe in ghosts and gods in his previous life, and he lived a new life, and when he heard the words "only by heaven's will", he also thought about it.

Perhaps, Bai Chenghuan was able to come to him, it was providence.

Xu Chenglin took Bai Chenghuan and Xiao Shaotang out of the palace together.

Halfway through, Bai Chenghuan, who was riding in the carriage, found that the carriage had slowed down.

"Bai Chenghuan, are you okay?"

Outside the window of the carriage, Xiao Shaotang's low voice came.

"I'm fine. ā€

Xiao Shaotang, who was walking on horseback, pinched the whip in his hand and said in a low voice: "It's me late this time, don't blame you in your heart." If he summons you to the palace in the future, you remember to send me a message first, I will fight to the death, and I will definitely protect you!"

Bai Chenghuan was stunned, how could he blame him for this?

Could it be because he had already made up his mind to join forces with the Xu family, so he also took her affairs to heart?

Otherwise, she didn't know what capital she had, so that Xiao Shaotang could protect it desperately.

However, Bai Chenghuan was still quite moved by these words.

"Thank you, if there is something to bother you, I will not be polite. ā€

Since the Weibei Houfu and the Qin Wangfu have formed an alliance, there will be a lot of borrowing from each other in the future.

Xiao Shaotang smiled brightly because of her words: "That's fine, you just need to remember that between me and you, no ordinary person, you are absolutely invisible to me." ā€

These words made Bai Chenghuan even more confused, and the ...... between him and her Is he referring to the affection of old acquaintances in Yuzhou?

Xu Chenglin walked behind the carriage, and he could faintly hear the two of them saying a word, bitter in his heart, but the corners of his lips smiled lightly.

There are some things, if you miss them, it is a lifetime thing.

If he had seen Cheng Huan in the Hou Mansion that day, he would not have been so impulsive, if later, he had not agreed with his mother to recognize Cheng Huan as a righteous daughter, maybe he could still have the dream that he never dared to hope for, but now, it is no longer possible.

But what does it matter?

He was always able to protect his sister and live this life well.

Xiao Shaotang said goodbye to Bai Chenghuan one street away from the Hou Mansion.

Before coming to the capital, my father repeatedly told him that if he was in the capital, he should be careful not to show his whereabouts at will.

Because since the time of Taizu, there have been countless secret guards around the emperors, who have done things for the emperor to listen to.

Now, he and Hou Fuming must not be too entangled, so as not to arouse Xiao Shaoyun's suspicion.

As soon as he returned to the Hou Mansion, Bai Chenghuan immediately stopped in front of Xu Chenglin.

"Brother, you just came back from the northwest, why are you going to the southeast so soon?

Xu Chenglin knew that he would go his own way without consulting his family, and he would definitely face such a question.

He looked up at the blue sky like glass, and smiled gently and calmly: "Cheng Huan, it's just to garrison the southeast, the southeast is not a climate, compared to the northwest, it is already calm, and my brother is also an adult, I can't lie on the shadow of my ancestors all my life, such a useless brother, will you be happy to see it?"

"Brother, in the end, I dragged you down......"

It's obviously for her, but she still pretends to be so light!

"Nonsense, brother, this is for the Hou Mansion and for himself. The home of the military commander naturally has to carry a knife on the horse in order to revitalize the family business......"

"Brother!" Bai Chenghuan looked at Xu Chenglin and interrupted his explanation.

"You don't have to say, I understand everything, let's go to see my father and mother, ask them, if you are allowed to go!"

"I understand that you think that there is already the King of Qin in the northwest, and the Xu family is no longer able to share the soup, and you want to find another way, so as not to lose the alliance between the Hou Mansion and the Qin Wangfu, but I feel uneasy when you do this. ā€

After Bai Chenghuan finished speaking, he turned around, endured the sourness in his eyes, and hurried in the direction of Rong Xiyuan.

"You're going to the southeast, okay, why are you going to the southeast?!"

Mrs. Wei Beihou didn't hear the slightest wind before, but when she heard that her son was going to the southeast, and the emperor had allowed it, she suddenly felt five thunders.

Wei Beihou was also shocked: "It's a good thing that you want to revive the prestige of the Xu family, but the Japanese people in the southeast are becoming more and more rampant and ferocious, and our Xu family has been fighting in the north for generations, how have you ever been to the wild land in the southeast?"

Xu Chenglin glanced at his sister, who was full of guilt and sadness on the side, and then said solemnly: "Father, everything is difficult at the beginning, but everything must have a beginning." If our Xu family blindly stays in the capital, far away from the battlefield, and has accumulated years and months without any achievements, how can we ensure the glory of the generations?"

"Especially now, the King of Qin has regained his prestige in the northwest, if the Hou Mansion wants to form an alliance with the King of Qin and not fall behind, so as to avoid being controlled by others in the future, then it must not go on like this. ā€

Xu Chenglin took a step forward and knelt in front of his parents: "I also ask my father and mother to fulfill my son's wish, and allow my son to go to the southeast to regain the prestige of my Xu family!"

"Father, mother, daughter only begs you, never allow my brother to do this. An Zhulin said today that my brother can't go to the southeast at this time, and he can't go to the southeast until Lin Daocheng dies.

Wei Beihou looked at the pair of children kneeling in front of him, and his heart was infinitely shocked and shocked - after Lin Daocheng died?
