Chapter 316: Another one
The guards guarding the gate of the palace braved the scorching heat to guard the palace gate, although the outside was still full of energy, and there was no fatigue at all, but inside, he had long been drowsy, and he only looked forward to this hour to go faster.

When I heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and saw a white figure carrying something, when the horses galloped, they all seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and immediately shook up from the inside out, and showed their knives to stop them.
Xiao Shaotang didn't say anything to them, galloped to the front, let go of his hand, and carried it in his hand, and the overseer, who was already half dead, was thrown to the ground with a "poof".
"Who is coming...... The prince of Qin?"
The person who stepped forward was about to scold a few words, but he saw the man's face clearly.
The errand of guarding the gate, not to mention martial arts, at least to be able to recognize people, although Xiao Shaotang only entered the palace once, his appearance was remembered clearly.
Xiao Shaotang didn't say much, knelt on the ground after getting off the horse, and said loudly:
"The criminal minister Xiao Shaotang, because he saw that the supervisor of the Soul Conjuring Terrace was tyrannical, mistreated the people, and disregarded people's lives, he specially captured this person and handed it over to the emperor!"
is a criminal minister, and he is the supervisor of the Soul Conjuring Tower, and he listened to this group of guards a little confused, but he finally understood one thing: the prince of Qin Wang arrested someone and wanted to hand it over to the emperor!
Because yesterday, the prince of Qin seemed to be favored by the emperor in the palace, and he was the "flesh and blood brother" in the emperor's mouth, several guards glanced at each other, and left a few people holding swords against each other, and one of them hurried to report it.
In the imperial study, Song Wenru was pulling Fang Handong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to discuss with the emperor when the draft would start.
Song Wenru felt that a large number of show girls were stranded in the capital, and some poor people could no longer support the expenses of the capital, so they sold their stalls in the household department and returned to their hometowns, while the people who stayed behind were quite wealthy but were tempted by the favor of women such as Xu Chengyi and An Zhulin, and many people began to secretly inquire about the affairs of Empress Xiaoyuan during her lifetime.
Even the storytellers in the teahouse changed their books and began to praise Empress Xiaoyuan for her life.
Xiao Shaoyun didn't care.
Zhan Shichun said that the matter of conjuring spirits is also a providence, and the people who left before the conjuring platform was built must also be providential, and the soul of Empress Xiaoyuan will not be pinned on them.
It's just that Xiao Shaoyun didn't plan to tell Song Wenru that Song Wenru was an old minister in the end, and he was too lazy to argue with him for the sake of Daqi.
Seeing that the emperor could not be persuaded to move, Song Wenru could only take a detour and once again mention asking the emperor to send An Zhulin out of the palace.
Xiao Shaoyun changed his attitude a few days ago and took a firm position: "An Zhulin, this girl, I have already ordered someone to investigate, she has not been in contact with Empress Xiaoyuan before, and no one has told her about Empress Xiaoyuan, so I feel that she must have something to do with Empress Xiaoyuan, in case she is ...... I can't miss it!"
"Your Majesty, it's just to send this girl out of the palace, and when the draft begins, it won't hinder anything from entering the palace with other show girls!"
"Prime Minister, are you sure that I sent people out of the palace and can come back with embarrassment?" Xiao Shaoyun remembered the words that An Zhulin cried in front of him: "An Guogong is cowardly and incompetent, in case someone has bad intentions towards An Zhulin, with the ability of An Guogong's mansion, can he protect her?" ”
Song Wen choked on a mouthful of old blood, and he was speechless.
As the king of a country, because of a woman, being criticized by others, would you think it's nothing?!
Throughout the ages, Xia Wei Shang, Zhou Youwang and others, isn't it because of a woman who died in the country?
On the one hand, Fang Handong watched coldly for a long time, wanting to show himself in front of the emperor but couldn't interject for a long time, he had long felt that Song Wenru was really verbose.
Show girls wait, let them wait, they all want to fight for wealth, but they don't pay at all, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world?
Seeing that Song Wenru still wanted to argue with the emperor, he immediately spoke out to stop him: "Lord Song, instead of embarrassing the emperor here, you should go to the conjuring platform to urge the progress, then you can show your loyalty, but a woman, you are really making a big fuss!"
Xiao Shaoyun was annoyed by Song Wenru, and when he heard Fang Handong's words, it really went to his heart, and he couldn't help nodding again and again.
Song Wenru completely obeyed this pair of monarchs and ministers, one was mediocre and the other was flattering, which can be regarded as a kind of "monarch and minister"!
Xiao Shaoyun didn't want to listen to Song Wenru's rambling anymore, so he sent him away: "The weather is very hot, the prime minister should go back and rest early, you are also old, take care of your body, so that you can share your worries!"
Song Wen was so angry that he didn't want to quarrel with the emperor in front of Fang Handong, and was laughed at by this traitorous villain, so he endured his anger and retired: "The old minister has official business, and he doesn't dare to go back to rest, so he will go to the Prime Minister's Yamen on duty!"
Xiao Shaoyun doesn't care, as long as he leaves quickly, let him go.
Song Wenru was full of grief and indignation, and was about to warn the emperor one last time, "Pro-virtuous ministers, far villains", when he saw Liu Defu walking in with a solemn face.
"Your Majesty, the prince of Qin brought someone here, kneeling at the gate of the palace to plead guilty, and want to see you!"
"What?" Xiao Shaoyun didn't understand.
When Xiao Shaotang knelt at the door of the imperial study with the frightened and dying overseer, and told the cause and effect of the incident, Xiao Shaoyun understood.
His expression did not change much, but his eyes were staring at Xiao Shaotang who was kneeling at the door, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Others don't know what the emperor thinks, but Song Wen knows it, and the emperor is already angry in his heart.
It's just that this anger is against the overseer who cares about people's lives, or against the prince of Qin, it's hard to say!
Under the emperor's angry gaze, the prince of Qin was not afraid of surprise, and his face did not change, which really surprised Song Wenru's heart.
But in any case, Song Wenru felt that he should still ask for a favor for the prince of Qin:
"The Emperor's ......"
"Xiao Shaotang, are you guilty?"
Without waiting for Song Wenru's words to speak, the emperor opened his mouth in a gloomy tone.
Xiao Shaotang, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately kowtowed: "The minister knows that he is hindering the construction process of the soul conjuring platform, and has made a big mistake, so he has come to ask for the guilt and let the emperor fall, but this person treats the people harshly, carelessly cares about people's lives, and has a bad reputation for the emperor, which is really an unforgivable crime, and I hope that the imperial brother will see it clearly, and don't let the subjects of the world chill!"
A few green tendons loomed on Xiao Shaoyun's forehead, and he could barely suppress his temper - this gesture of asking for sin was the living Weibei Marquis the day before yesterday, obviously asking for sin, but it was actually persecution and blame!
In this world, this country, is it his or these people's? !
He had seen a lot of such tricks in his previous life with ministers, and he wouldn't eat this set today, he wanted to see if Xiao Shaotang dared to die in front of him like Wei Beihou!
