CHAPTER XXII

Time is still flowing, the market is still peaceful, the dim sum shops in Ping'an are still indispensable for people to buy, and the jugglers on the street can still earn a lot of wonderful shouts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But all the exuberant performances can't hide the fact that the dark tide is getting more and more turbulent.

"Smack-" A letter was slammed on the table, and the voice was crisp, showing that a lot of force had been used.

"Slander! This is pure slander! ”

When Chen Xuyan saw the contents of the letter, even his lips trembled.

The letter was handed over by Bai Qian, and tomorrow in the court, Prime Minister Guo Cheng and his party will do two things, one is to urge the emperor to seize the time to establish a prince, and the other is to impeach Su Jiagong Gao Zhenzhu.

Because of the good news from the army of Anliu today, the eldest son of the Su family, who is also the first-class general of the dynasty, Su Bi, led the army to smash Anliu's lair, captured Anliu alive, sent Anliu's head back, and shot all the prisoners of war.

The emperor was very happy when he heard the good news, and rewarded the Su family on the spot.

It's a pity that the Su family's family happened to be sick and took leave and did not go to the court, and this reward was accepted directly before he had time to resign, Chen Xuyan was anxious, and stepped forward to ask the emperor to take back his fate, saying that this is the duty of a courtier, but was reprimanded by the emperor.

Chen Xuyan didn't know well, but he didn't expect Guo You's footsteps to be so fast, if it wasn't for Bai Qian secretly sending someone to inform him, wouldn't he be caught off guard in the court tomorrow? Old Man Su is afraid that he will vomit blood in anger.

According to Bai Qian's news, tomorrow Guo You will attack the Su family, there are two reasons, one is that the Su family's merits are high, and there is no reward, and now the Su family has the largest number of troops in the rejuvenation of the country, and it has one of the most elite forces in the rejuvenation of the country - the Huwei army, once the rebellion is unimaginable; Second, the Su family did not wait for the emperor's order to dispose of the prisoners of war privately, did not take the emperor in their eyes, and used such a cruel and ruthless way, which was really a move to lose the hearts of the people, not only did not share the emperor's worries, but also made the emperor lose the hearts of the people, which was really sinister.

Coupled with the disappearance of Chen Yanrong and it was rumored that the prisoners of the Qiang State surrendered to the Qiang State, as well as the in-law relationship between the Chen and Su families, the sword that Guo Youliang came out of was clearly hanging over the heads of the Chen family and the Su family, as long as it was released, the Chen family and the Su family would be destroyed.

"That's nonsense! Guo Youcai is the heart of the tiger and wolf, he has stirred up the officialdom of the entire rejuvenation of the country, only the military department is still our people, how much clarity is left, and it is also the middle force of my great rejuvenation, not to mention, how much did our Su family and Chen family pay to defend the rejuvenation of the country! How dare this old horseman?! ”

Chen Xuqing was also so angry that he couldn't wait to smash the table and throw the bench, and ran to Guo You's house to cut the dead old man with a thousand knives.

Chen Xuxing patted Chen Xuqing's shoulder and calmed Chen Xuqing's anxious mood, "Rejuvenating the country by force, when the Qi family helped the Bai family unify the world, almost the lives of the whole clan were used, and the only grandson was captured by the enemy, and he came back after all the hardships. It is true that force achieves hegemony, but governance is a literati, and the two forces of civil and military, one eliminates the other, and we can survive until now, and it is also the emperor's mercy. ”

"You mean, Qi Qianzhong was killed by the emperor at that time? Didn't he die of an incurable disease? ”

Chen Xuqing asked in disbelief, but Chen Xuxing didn't answer, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away.

Chen Xuyan sighed, "There are too many ways to make people die unexpectedly in this world. The third child, you have always only been in books, those poems and songs, although ambitious, but they are just fantasies, after the real bloody rain, how can you write such naΓ―ve verses. ”

Chen Xuqing is a little unacceptable, he admires Qi Qianzhong's literary brilliance very much, he has seen Qi Qianzhong's portrait, he is a weak and delicate young man, the people in the painting have clear eyes, not stained with dust, how can there be a heart of disobedience?

"Big brother, then what should we do, this time Guo You's pace is too fast, in the past few years, he has sat in the position of prime minister, in charge of the six ministries, and even directly intervened in the specific appointment of officials in the ministry, most of the entire court is his minions, and when the time comes, we will be more auspicious."

Bai Qian said in the letter that the emperor was not afraid of us, but Guo You. The border is chaotic, and the Holy One wants to protect our Chen family at present. ”

Chen Xuqing's eyes lit up, "Our Gillian also said the same." ”

Chen Xu didn't expect Chen Ajiao to be able to see this, but she was a little impressed and sighed. The three sons of the Chen family seem to be slightly inferior to Gillian in terms of the depth of analysis of the problem.

Since he knew that Guo had this plan, the Chen family was naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he immediately repaired a book and secretly sent someone to Su Mansion.

Soon after the opening of the dynasty the next day, before Guo Youyou sent someone to come forward, Emperor Zhengxi heard that the old lady of the Su family suddenly vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and asked what was going on.

Chen Jiashang said, "Last night, a soldier came to report that the Su generals were seriously injured when they were chasing An Liu's powerful subordinate Wang Yi, and Su Ran's whereabouts were unknown during the pursuit, and Su asked the saint to increase his troops on the way back. Therefore, a special minister was sent to accuse His Majesty. ”

The emperor leaned back in his chair, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, and he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly, "What's wrong with Su Bi?" How is he doing now? Why didn't you tell me last night. ”

"General Su's injury seems to be dangerous, but fortunately, God blesses him, and he is out of danger now. It was already the middle of the night when the soldier returned, and King Ding'an didn't want to disturb His Majesty, in fact, he didn't even want me to tell His Majesty about it. ”

Chen Xuyan confessed, and the corners of Emperor Zhengxi's mouth loosened slightly.

"Why don't you want to tell me?" Emperor Zhengxi seemed to be suddenly interested and asked curiously.

"Back to the emperor, King Ding'an said that he thought he could share the emperor's worries, but he didn't expect the kid to be incompetent, and he was actually conspired against, and he had already asked people to intercept Su Shi, and let Su is assist Su Bi to clear the rebels and make up for his mistakes, otherwise he would apologize with death. Reward the emperor's kindness with life and death, and make up for it. ”

Chen Xuyan took a step forward, "King Ding'an also hopes that the emperor will punish Su Bi fiercely to punish him for his mistake of underestimating the enemy. ”

Emperor Zhengxi leaned back on his seat, and his peach blossom eyes looked at Chen Xuyan meaningfully without speaking.

Chen Xuyan's face remained unchanged.

Emperor Zhengxi looked at Chen Xu for a long time, and suddenly laughed, "Look at what King Ding'an said, Su Bi was my childhood playmate, and now it's too late for me to comfort me when I'm injured, how can I be willing to punish him?" ”

One of Guo You's disciples was about to step forward to speak, but Guo stopped him with a look.

Another civil official stepped forward and repeated the old tune to let the emperor establish a prince.

Emperor Zhengxi's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he mocked, "Persuade me to establish a prince so early, do you think that I will die early, and you will not feel at ease if you don't establish a prince?" ”

When the civil official heard this, his face turned pale, cold sweat broke out, and he quickly knelt down and forgave his sins.

Emperor Zhengxi nodded slightly at the guards beside him, and the guards bowed their heads and walked down to drag the civil official outside the main hall.

The officials were trembling and didn't dare to speak, Guo You hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, don't kill by mistake." ”

Emperor Zhengxi seemed to smile, "Could it be that the prime minister also thinks that I must have died early?" ”

When Guo Youyou heard this, he quickly knelt down, not daring to speak again, but the hand hidden in his sleeve grabbed the elephant wat very tightly, as if it was about to break it, he didn't believe it, how could it be so coincidental, it was when he attacked the Chen and Su families, the Su family had such a big accident, it would never be so coincidental, it must have been intentional.

Emperor Zhengxi, who was leaning on the throne, looked at the courtiers kneeling in the hall, and felt very bored, this emperor, he was really a little tired, he had to spread the branches, he couldn't hug the people he loved, and he had to work hard to prevent the country from dying.

What if I take the initiative to destroy this country? Emperor Zhengxi suddenly thought with a wicked taste.
