Zha Bixing held his head high and said loudly: "The first thing Xiaomin wants to sue is to be the imperial master, Changyan Bai!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people around him were stunned.

I couldn't help but gasp.

Although I vaguely felt his purpose from the moment he appeared at the gate of the palace today, I was still stunned when I really heard the words of the first Taishi Chang Yan Bai from his mouth.

He even wanted to sue Chang Yanbai!

With the initial surprise, all the eyes of everyone looked at the tall old man not far behind Pei Yuanhao, like a black iron tower, Chang Yanbai's eyes narrowed slightly, with an indescribable calmness and arrogance, and he was really worthy of his identity as the head of the three princes, even at this time, when he heard someone sue the emperor to sue him, there was no trace of panic.

It's just that after seeing him, I immediately turned my head to look at Chang Qing.

She was still calm, but her face was a little paler than just now.

Pei Yuanhao looked down at Zha Bixing below, and there was not much expression on his face: "Why did you sue him?"

Zha Bixing said loudly: "Taishi often said that Bai, the head of the three dukes, should have assisted the emperor and the prime minister in administrative affairs, observed the people's weal and woe, commanded hundreds of officials, and controlled the policies for the benefit of the people; however, he was in the position of a foreign relative, but he formed a party for personal gain, abused his power to disrupt the government, and caused chaos in the government! Such a person, who is in a high position, is to feed himself with the flesh and blood of the people, how can the people not be bitter?

His every word resounded like thunder above everyone's heads, and I saw the frightened expressions on the faces of the officials around me.

Pei Yuanhao's face was expressionless, he listened to him all the time, and then looked at Chang Taishi not far behind him from the corner of his eye.

"Taishi. ”

"The old minister is here. ”

Chang Yanbai took a few steps forward, walked to a platform at the bottom of the steps, and knelt down to Pei Yuanhao.

Pei Yuanhao said: "Did you hear what this person told you?"

"Old minister, I heard clearly. ”

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Since serving Emperor Gao and Emperor Taishang, the old minister is now assisting the emperor, and he has been working hard for decades, self-denial, and judgment. The minister is the head of the three princes, how can he be a small man who has a lot of money to deal with, and he will take advantage of his tongue?

I was also a little surprised.

As he said, it is indeed shocking for Zha Bixing to sue the officials with the people, and to sue him as an important minister like him, he regards himself as the head of the three princes, and he will indeed not argue with the people lightly. But the problem is, now that Zha Bixing has handed the complaint to the emperor, and the accusation is in his ears, he actually ignores it, and only obeys the emperor's holy judgment, does he believe that Pei Yuanhao will not move him?

But-Pei Yuanhao has already prepared to abolish Chang Qing, if even the queen wants to be abolished, will the people of the Chang family still be able to keep it?

Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat, and subconsciously slowly walked to Chang Qing's side.

She couldn't even breathe, and her eyes looked straight down.

Pei Yuanhao held a handkerchief in one hand, leaned on the white marble railing in front of him, looked at him calmly, and after being silent for a while, he turned his head to look at Cha Bixing in the square: "You, since you have sued Chang Taishi for forming a party for personal gain and causing chaos in the court, what evidence is there?"

Zha Bixing said loudly: "This is the second person Xiaomin wants to sue." ”

"Oh, who's the next thing you're going to sue?"

"The book of the military department, Nangong Jinhong!"

There was another wave of exclamation in the crowd.

For a moment, all eyes were on a person in the center of the crowd. Nangong Jinhong's brows furrowed slightly, but he was also calm, and soon calmed down, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He immediately stepped forward, walked to Chang Yanbai's side, and knelt on the ground.

I subconsciously looked at the noble concubine Nangong Lizhu who was standing a little farther away, and at this moment her face was full of anger and looked at me viciously.

Obviously, she must have thought that it was my idea to make a fuss today.

However, I am already on the same page with her anyway, and it is not bad for this grudge, I also sneered, continued to look back, looked at the bottom of the steps, Nangong Jinhong knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Minister, wronged!"

"Nangong Qing's family is not in a hurry," Pei Yuanhao said unhurriedly: "This person hasn't said yet, what does he want to sue you." ”

After saying that, he looked at Zha Bixing: "What crime are you going to sue Lord Nangong again?"

Zha Bixing held his head high and said loudly: "Nangong Jinhong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, formed a party with Chang Taishi for personal gain, colluded with hundreds of officials, and incited the imperial court to use troops in Xichuan, although the matter has not been completed, his heart can be punished!"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The use of troops in Xichuan, this was originally the biggest contradiction between Pei Yuanhao and the two of them before, or in front of him, but at present, because of the series of major events such as the prince's departure from Beijing and the gift of pro-cultivation, it has been temporarily suppressed, but it is only temporary, even I know that this matter will surface sooner or later.

But I didn't expect that it was a complaint from Zha Bixing and it surfaced!

Immediately, I heard Chang Qing beside me gasp violently, and immediately reached out to cover his mouth.

However, Pei Yuanhao stopped talking.

Not only did he not speak, but his face even changed from a slight smile just now, to calm and waveless, to now a coldness, and a pair of eyes seemed to have frost condensed.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged!"

This time, Nangong Jinhong's voice of injustice is also louder!

Pei Yuanhao looked at him slowly: "What grievances does the Qing family have?"

"Your Majesty, whether to use troops against Xichuan or not is originally a major matter of the country, how can a small people be allowed to beak here. Besides—" His eyes were cold, and he turned his head to look at Cha Bixing in the square: "This person should be the student of Xishan Academy who was ordered to be arrested by the emperor before, right?"

Zha Bixing raised his head and glanced at him, but did not speak, only raised his chin.

Nangong Jinhong said: "Xichuan, there have been a lot of disobedient people, your Xishan Academy is located in Xichuan, what you learn is some big rebellion, deception and stealing fame, and acting is even more chaotic with the law, and forbidden by force! Several Taoist platforms and assassins in Yangzhou have been assassinated, all of which are inseparable from you; and the rebellion of the imperial examination in Jiangnan, it is also your people who are leading the way; now, you have actually come to the capital, and you dare to sue the officials of the imperial court, do you really think that the world is going to be your Xichuan?!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer.

It seems that this person's brain is really fast, so quickly he can refute his state with his background, as the so-called name is not right, it is not good, and if it is not good, it will not work, as long as the identity of Chabixing is established as the opposite of the court, then how to sue him in this state, it is all false accusations, and they are all means used by "rebels" for the cholera program.

Now, it's up to Zabixing to respond!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help pinching a cold sweat, turned my head to look at the person in the square, but saw that Zha Bixing raised his head unhurriedly, and said calmly: "Lord Nangong's words are wrong. Besides, there is only the theory of studying in the academy to solve doubts, and there is no way for the DPRK and China to form a party for personal gain, and the students naturally have their own ambitions.

Nangong Jinhong's face turned pale: "Could it be that you didn't do it to assassinate the imperial court officials and incite the Jiangnan candidates to make trouble?"

"So, do you have real evidence? Or, have you ever caught a prisoner and punished him properly?"

"It's-"

Nangong Jinhong was speechless for a moment, these two things, although the former one was done by the people of Xichuan, it really had nothing to do with the people of the academy, but he wanted to defeat Cha Bixing in one fell swoop, and confused the people of Xishan Academy and Xichuan; As for the turmoil in the Yangzhou examination room, in the end, it was actually resolved peacefully, Pei Yuanhao did not really deal with any of the students of Xishan Academy, nor did he leave evidence.

Unexpectedly, it became an excuse for Zhabixing to overthrow him.

This person, just like the nail board just now, is cheap and good!

Seeing that Nangong Jinhong was blocked by his words, Zha Bixing continued: "The student has already left the academy, so naturally he has other identities, and he will not be a student for the rest of his life. Now that Lord Nangong is a minister of the court, will he still be named after a student of the academy where he was born? When Xiaomin came to sue the emperor, which sentence did he call himself a 'student'?"

“……”

"Could it be that the art of forming a party for personal gain is really deeply rooted in Lord Nangong's brain?"

“……”

Only then did I notice that from the time Zha Bixing appeared at the gate of this palace and opened his mouth to complain, he claimed to be a "small people", not a "student"!

In other words, everything he did was disrelated to Xishan Academy, and in this way, the point where Nangong Jinhong wanted to attack him was completely turned into nothingness by him!

This person is so fine!

Then, he said in a deep voice: "Lord Nangong, there are thousands of people in Xichuan, have you ever visited Xichuan and inspected the people's conditions? Have you ever explored the sufferings of the people in Xichuan? Or, have you ever read which classic in the library of Xishan Academy? The adults live at the height of the temple, but they vainly talk about the hearts of the people thousands of miles away, and they even frame the entire people of Xichuan as disobedients.

"You-"

Nangong Jinhong's face was pale, he didn't expect Zha Bixing to put such a big hat on his head, he pointed at Zha Bixing, panting like a cow, but he couldn't say a word, and then, Zha Bixing continued: "The adult's strategy for Xichuan is just afraid that it was formulated without understanding Xichuan's grass, trees, people and things, right?"

“……”

"Lord Nangong, now the north and south of the court are facing heavy enemies, but Lord Nangong wants to lead the war to Xichuan, and he is even more trapped in the situation that the court is making enemies on three sides. Is this what you, an important minister of the imperial court, and the secretary of the military department, are going to do?"

The last sentence was like a thorn piercing Pei Yuanhao's heart.

I could clearly see his face twitch slightly.

When Nangong Jinhong heard him say this, he immediately didn't go to confront him, but only turned back to Pei Yuanhao and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged! This Diao people falsely accused the old minister, and asked the emperor to be the master of the old minister!"

"......" Pei Yuanhao still didn't speak.

Since the confrontation between the two of them began, Pei Yuanhao has not spoken, which makes it difficult to see what he is thinking now, but seeing Nangong Jinhong being approached by Zha Bixing step by step, these civil and military officials can't sit still.

Immediately, I saw several officials walking down and kneeling behind Nangong Jinhong.

"Your Majesty, Lord Nangong definitely has no intention of making enemies on three sides of the imperial court. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this Diao Min is from Xichuan, he is simply to make the monarchs and ministers suspicious of each other, in order to deceive the emperor!"

"Please ask the emperor to immediately issue an order to execute this Diao Min!"

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

Pei Yuanhao looked at them, was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "You guys, do you all think so?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

One of the ministers knelt up straight and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not listen to the slander of this Diao people. Since ancient times, it has been a serious crime to sue the official with the people, and this person even sued the two ministers of the dynasty in a row, the crime is not forgiven, please ask the emperor to immediately issue an order to execute this Diao people!"

"Lord Nangong is definitely not what he said!"

……

Pei Yuanhao was silent again: "Then, Nangong Qing's family might as well talk about the use of troops against Xichuan." After all, he sued you because of this. ”

When Nangong Jinhong heard this, he immediately shook his spirits and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister asked the emperor to use troops against Xichuan, absolutely for the sake of the safety of the society. The land of Xichuan is full of filth and dirt, and the people are disobedient. The murder of the Shaanxi political secretary this time is a method that the mob in Xichuan usually uses! They sent people from the demon and the country to infiltrate the deep palace to find out the news, so that the deeds of the imperial history were exposed and they were brutally murdered.

Pei Yuanhao's eyes narrowed slightly: "Who are you talking about, the people who are the demons and the country?"

Nangong Jinhong raised his head, and his hand pointed at me at once: "It's her, the demon girl of the Xichuan Yan family, Yan Qingqing!"

As soon as the words fell, I felt hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at me in unison.

For a moment, my breathing sank.

Although I have long known that since Zha Bixing has made trouble at the gate of the palace like this, it is inevitable that things will implicate me, but at this time, there is still a feeling of swelling in my head, I lowered my head and was silent for a while, before slowly raising my eyes and looking at him: "Lord Nangong said, but me?"

"That's you!"

As he spoke, he said to Pei Yuanhao: "Your Majesty, Yan Qingqing is the eldest lady of the Yan family in Xichuan, this Diao Min is a person from Xichuan, he was simply attracted by Yan Qingqing, in order to frame Zhongliang and confuse the emperor, if this person is not removed, Xichuan is not removed, the emperor's country will not be stable!"

Pei Yuanhao listened quietly, and then turned his head to look at me: "Yan Qingqing, did you hear Lord Nangong's words?"

The maiden heard. ”

"So, what do you say?"

“……”

I didn't say anything for a while.

Just before, Nangong Jinhong seemed to be very calm and calm, even if he didn't have the upper hand in the confrontation with Zha Bixing, he didn't see him panic, but this time, as soon as he mentioned the assassination of Yushi Qu Xueyi, his whole person was very excited, his eyes were red, it seemed that in his opinion, that incident was really done by Xichuan, and the person who leaked Qu Xueyi's whereabouts was me!

If that's the case, then I don't have to confront him.

Because of this kind of public case, unless people really go to investigate and try it, it is possible to get the truth, and there is no point in fighting for such a battle of words and tongues in the end.

So, I said calmly: "Lord Nangong's accusation is a battle of will after the loss of a loved one. Without actual evidence, the folk girl would not argue with it, let alone admit her guilt. ”

His accusation was dissolved by me in such an understatement, and Nangong Jinhong was even more angry that his eyes were bloodshot and red, and he said: "You can't admit your guilt! The secret letter found in your house is the best proof!"

As soon as he said this, the people around him were also shocked.

"Mechat, what Mechat?"

"I heard that it was searched in Jingren Palace two days ago. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"It's—"

The surrounding ministers also began to discuss, I took a deep breath, and I also knew that sooner or later this matter would be taken by Nangong Jinhong to the public, but, probably today, it was also a sudden, and there was no special day to judge me, but since the relationship between Zha Bixing and me, it was possible to make trouble together at this time, and it also fulfilled their wishes.

At this time, Zha Chabixing, who had been holding it high in the square, also raised his head to look at me, and his eyes were slightly surprised-Messin?

At this time, Pei Yuanhao smiled faintly and said, "It was Nangong Qing's family who reminded me, that's right, I did find that secret letter in Jingren Palace before." As he spoke, he looked down at Zha Bixing below: "You are from Xichuan, what is the purpose of your coming to the capital?"

Zha Bixing said: "Dedicate a book to Princess Miaoyan to cure the disease, and ask for the life of all the people of Xichuan." ”

As soon as his words fell, Nangong Jinhong sneered: "I'm afraid that you have said one less word, just bring this secret letter to your eldest lady, right?"

Zha Bixing thought for a while and said, "Secret letter, can you give Xiaomin a look." ”

Pei Yuanhao waved his hand, and actually took out the letter and handed it directly to the father-in-law Yu beside him, who hurriedly walked down with the letter in his hand and showed it to him in front of Zha Bixing.

Suddenly, all the people around him held their breath and looked at him.

My breath was also choked at this moment.

I saw Zha Bixing skimming the contents of the letter at a glance, and then nodded slightly, and Gonggong Yu immediately put the letter away and returned to Pei Yuanhao's side.

Pei Yuanhao said, "What do you say?"

Zha Bixing was silent for a moment, and then said: "This letter was indeed brought to Miss Yan by Xiaomin. ”
