The morning of late autumn and winter is always very late, and the climate is a little colder in the early morning, and in the deep night, the morning star is full of bright light, and the courtiers in court clothes have passed from the white marble bridge, and the column is headed towards the palace of the imperial gate to listen to the government. In the bleak autumn breeze, the hem of the court dress made a slight sound, and it was a light exhale, and white smoke was emitting, as if it would freeze at any time.

As the attendants in front of the palace sang, the civil and military officials entered each other, and in the sudden warmth, they saw two columns of attendants and Gong'e slowly ascending, and Emperor Jianheng went up the imperial steps unhurriedly. In the sound of everyone kneeling and bowing, Emperor Jianheng sat in his robe, his eyes were lightly raised, and he swept towards the crowd, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat. ”

As the emperor's deep voice sounded, the ministers got up and stood under His Royal Highness with the court wat in their hands, and the next moment, Gu Zhengde, the current first assistant, took the lead in the ranks, reported the recent affairs of the cabinet to the top, and discussed with the ministers. Time passed bit by bit, today's early dynasty, as before, there was no abnormality, and when the court discussion was coming to an end, Emperor Jianheng was also slightly tired.

After all, today's Emperor Jianheng is also over fifty years old, and it is not easy to review the mountains of tickets every day, and to get up in the early morning to listen to the government when the rooster has not crowed.

Seeing this, the hundred officials of His Royal Highness were all silent tacitly, and Feng Wei, who was standing on the side, saw this, carefully glanced at the tired Emperor Jianheng, and then turned around and stepped forward in understanding, and was about to announce the words "retreat from the dynasty without incident", and saw a figure come out of the courtiers.

The subtle footsteps in the silent crowd appeared particularly abrupt, everyone couldn't help but look at it, even the Emperor Jianheng on the seat also looked down at the moment, because of the age, this look is getting worse and worse, on weekdays, the approval of tickets is going to wear Western glasses, at this moment because he did not bring the glasses with him, Emperor Jianheng couldn't help but hold the armrest of the dragon couch, leaned forward slightly, when he looked carefully, a pair of eyes narrowed slightly, until the person came to the front, he saw the appearance clearly, but he couldn't remember the name for a while.

"Weichen He Runwen has something to play. ”

Hearing the words "He Runwen", Emperor Jianheng squinted his eyes slightly as if he was thinking, Feng Wei on the side lowered his body in time, and whispered a reminder in Emperor Jianheng's ear, and Emperor Jianheng's gradually wrinkled eyelids were slightly raised, as if he understood.

"What does Aiqing want to play?"

At this moment, everyone in the court unanimously looked at He Runwen in the middle, and the sudden silence made He Runwen stiffen slightly, and he was a little nervous for a while, and even his palms were soaked with fine sweat.

"Weichen wants to impeach Lord Chen of Dali Temple for favoritism and disregard for national law. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little inexplicable, and Chen Xun, the Dali Temple Qing who was suddenly impeached, also looked at him in shock, and did not react for a while, but his face became a little stiff.

"Oh?"

Emperor Jianheng, who was originally a little sleepy, seemed to be a little interested, raised his eyes slightly, and turned his gaze to Chen Xun's body, and then looked sideways at He Runwen and said, "How did Chen Xun show favoritism and ignore the law of the country?"

Seeing Chen Xun's face gradually changing, He Runwen seemed to be encouraged, and immediately arched his hands with Chao Wat in his hand, his expression was serious and serious, and his words were even more sonorous and powerful, as if he was conclusive.

"Back to Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, Dali Temple Secretary Chen Xun Chen and the criminal minister Cui Wencheng are fellow villagers and old acquaintances, Cui Wencheng went to the prison of Dali Temple as a guilty person, and he was a person whose sins are unforgivable, but Chen Xun Chen is concerned about the old feelings, and he takes care of them in private, and it is against the common sense of national law in public and private.

The more He Runwen spoke, the more excited he became, and when he got to the back, he almost made a loud sound, causing Chen Xun's body to be shocked, and his face turned red, until the words fell, Chen Xun immediately raised his hand and pointed at He Runwen angrily, almost so angry that even his words trembled a little.

"Nonsense, bloody mouth!"

You must know that Cui Wencheng is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and if he is accidentally contaminated, he will kill his whole family.

At this moment, when Chen Xun heard the voice, where was he still standing, and in an instant, he bowed his hand to Emperor Jianheng who was seated, and there were almost old tears in his confession, and even the mottled and gray beard was stained with tears.

"Your Majesty, what He Runwen said, there is no such thing, how dare Weichen, as the secretary of Dali Temple, dare to do such a thing, and ask Your Majesty to investigate and return Weichen to an innocence. ”

At this point, Chen Xun trembled and lifted the hem of his court robe, knelt down slowly, bowed straight down, and touched his head to the ground.

Seeing this, He Runwen was not to be outdone, and immediately stood up straight, and asked with a sneer: "Lord Chen cried to His Majesty like this, saying that I was spewing blood, so Lord Chen dared to say in front of His Majesty and hundreds of officials that you and that criminal minister Cui Wencheng are not old acquaintances?"

Speaking of this, He Runwen almost sarcastically pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Xiaguan has heard that in the past, Lord Chen and Cui Wencheng had a lot of private contacts, maybe Master Chen knows a lot about what Cui Wencheng did."

"You"

Chen Xun pointed at He Runwen angrily, but he didn't know whether he was angry or blocked, but his face turned red and his body trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Pity that Chen Xun, he was indeed close to Cui Wencheng because he was a fellow villager, but when Cui Wencheng was involved in collaborating with the enemy, he immediately made a decision and cut off the connection with the Cui family, for fear that he would have something to do with it.

Now that Cui Wencheng has finally been convicted, the matter is considered to be in the past, but he didn't calculate it, and now it is planted in the hands of He Runwen, a small official, and he has turned white into black.

Even if he was given ten hundred dares, he would never dare to take care of a criminal like Cui Wencheng!

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to make a decision, I beg Your Majesty to be clear"

Seeing that Chen Xun was about to cry again, He Runwen immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, and said awe-inspiringly: "Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to return justice to the people and soldiers."

Seeing that it was noisy again, Emperor Jianheng only felt bored, frowned, and said lazily: "Okay"

After saying two words, the two people in front of the hall suddenly quieted down, and the courtiers standing on both sides were silent as if watching a play, watching coldly.

"Gu Zhengde, what do you say. ”

Suddenly hearing the emperor in the palace call himself, Gu Zhengde raised his head humbly, turned his eyes sideways and glanced at the two people who were arguing on the side, then calmly lowered his eyes, and slowly took a step forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to what Lord He said, Weichen and the criminal minister Cui Wencheng also have a relationship beyond colleagues, and what Weichen said will only be unfair."

Emperor Jianheng's eyes swept when he heard this, and the corners of his lips silently floated with a trace of unclear arc, and everyone present knew that this Gu Zhengde was just and bright to put out his relationship with Cui Wencheng, and by the way, he also chose himself out of this muddy water.

Sometimes, it's not wrong to say too much and not to say it.

Emperor Jianheng didn't seem to blame, but just glanced indifferently at Tan Wuzhen beside Gu Zhengde and said, "What do you say?" ”

This time, Tan Wuzhen did not shirk, but looked like an outsider, and stepped forward without the slightest bias: "Back to Your Majesty, what Lord He said, the stakes are very high, and Weichen does not dare to speculate, but if it is really what Lord He said, Lord Chen and the criminal minister Cui Wencheng are old acquaintances, that is, because of the avoidance of suspicion, the criminal minister Cui Wencheng should not be imprisoned in Dali Temple anymore." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was silent, but Xiao Yan, who had been indifferent, had a tight grip in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but sweep towards Tan Wuzhen, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Then you say, where would it be more appropriate to be detained?"

Seeing that the emperor on the seat was not angry, his tone was still flat, Tan Wuzhen was not in a hurry, he seemed to look at Chen Xun and He Runwen on the side, and then looked at the military attache standing opposite, silently, turned around, and when he gave his hand again, he was already a little more measured.

Weichen thought that if it was rigorous and fair, the edict of Beizhen Fusi was like the prison of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tan Wuzhen didn't say more, and everyone couldn't help but turn to look at the emperor on the seat.

Emperor Jianheng's expression was not clear, but he silently glanced among the hundred officials, and in the silence, Chen Xun and He Runwen almost held their breath, waiting for this final judgment.

"It's not groundless. ”

Emperor Jianheng on the seat spoke indifferently, and then said unhurriedly: "Since this is the case, Chen Xun will go back to his house for a few days to take a vacation, and then deal with it when the matter is clarified." ”

When Chen Xun heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he almost didn't collapse, and He Runwen on the side was almost overjoyed when he saw this, and when he lowered his eyes, he was full of pride when he looked at Chen Xun.

"As for the criminal Cui Wencheng, since you all need to avoid suspicion"

In the emperor's sarcastic gaze, everyone lowered their eyes nervously, and the next moment, they saw Emperor Jianheng set his eyes on Han Zhen, who was silent.

"Han Zhen, send the person to Zhao Prison, and you will be guarded by the Fusi of Beizhen. ”

When Han Zhen heard this, he was not shocked or shirked, he only stood up awe-inspiringly, and then arched his hand and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Seeing that the turmoil had passed, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved, and Emperor Jianheng stood up lazily, and even seemed unwilling to wave his hands and said, "Retreat." ”

In Feng Wei's singing, the hundreds of officials in the hall knelt down in formation, and then came out according to their grades.

When everyone walked by Chen Xun's side, they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy, but on the other hand, He Runwen looked like a villain, as if he had done a big thing.
