A touch of fine sweat oozed from Mu Xuesong's forehead, faintly lurking, he hung his head and said, "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

Xi Ze's hands were clenched into fists, obviously angry to the extreme, his face was surging, and he said in a deep voice: "Mu Xuesong, you are really bold, you kidnapped the imperial concubine first, and framed Xia Xiang later, you dare to tease me like this, do you know that you are guilty of the capital crime of bullying the king?" Believe it or not, I'll punish you right now? ”

Everything was originally secretive, and he still can't figure out which link went wrong, but at this moment, he really trembled, he hung his head slightly, and said cautiously: "The emperor was angry, and Weichen didn't notice it for a while, and passed on the wrong news, causing the emperor to misjudge, it was Weichen's fault, but Weichen really didn't deliberately deceive the emperor!" Moreover, Weichen does not have the courage to abduct the imperial concubine, and it is impossible to do such a thing, and please ask the emperor to believe in Weichen......"

"Enough!" Xi Ze interrupted angrily, "You don't have to quibble in front of me anymore, you know in your heart what you have done, I remember your father's merits, and I will not pursue your capital crime of bullying the king, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, from now on, you will be demoted to the rank of general of the fourth grade, grounded for a month, and fined for half a year, you give me back to think about it, if you dare to have a next time, don't blame me for not thinking about the love of the monarch and the minister!" ”

Mu Xuesong's face was like ashes when he heard this, but the matter had come to this point, he didn't dare to say anything, and hugged his fists and said: "Yes, Weichen thanks the emperor for his kindness, and Weichen retires!" ”

When he was far away, Xi Ze quickly wrote down a holy decree and shouted outside: "Sixi, come in!" ”

Sixi hurriedly came in and stood by: "The slave is here!" ”

Xi Ze handed over the holy decree to Sixi and said: "Now, you personally go to the prison of the Criminal Department to pick up Xia Xiang, remember to say more good words, be polite, and at the same time, also express your apologies on my behalf, do you understand?" ”

Sixi hurriedly said: "The slave understands, please rest assured that the emperor!" So saying, he took the decree and walked back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xi Ze said behind him: "I am now preparing a table of good wine for Xia Xiang, you remember to invite him!" ”

Sixi hurriedly turned around and said, "Yes!" ”

Sixi came to the prison of the Criminal Department to announce the decree: "Fengtian transport, the emperor said that Xia Xiang instructed the slaves to abduct the imperial concubine, after I found out, it was purely a false accusation, and all disposal is hereby waived, welcome Aiqing out of prison, and hope that Aiqing will cherish it!" I miss it! ”

Xia Wanfeng kowtowed loudly and thanked him: "Weichen thanks the emperor for his grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Sixi said with a smile: "Prime Minister, please get up, congratulations to the Prime Minister, you have finally been innocent!" ”

Xia Wanfeng stood up, still as slender and upright as before, and was not disturbed by the prison at all: "Father-in-law is polite, thank you father-in-law for coming to pass the decree!" ”

Sixi still said politely: "During this time, the prime minister has suffered, and the emperor is very upset!" Therefore, as soon as the truth of the matter is ascertained, he immediately ordered the minions to come and deliver the decree! ”

Xia Wanfeng smiled: "It's nothing, the prime minister is full of food and drink here, and he doesn't have to do anything, some people are afraid that they will hit the wall angrily!" ”

At this moment, Lord Xue suddenly came over and said: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister, it is really the emperor's grace and the prime minister's innocence, the prime minister must not forget to thank the emperor, this time the matter is all the villain's insidious plan to divide the monarch and ministers, the prime minister must not fall for the scheme!" ”

Xia Wanfeng turned his head to look at Lord Xue, his heart flashed with warmth, he patted Lord Xue's shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your kind reminder, you are right, this prime minister will go with Sixi Gonggong to thank the emperor now!" ”

Sixi said in a timely manner: "Prime Minister, the emperor has prepared a good banquet for the Prime Minister, Prime Minister invited!" ”

Xia Wanfeng said with a smile: "There is Father-in-law Lao!" ”

Xia Wanfeng followed Sixi all the way to Chengguang Palace, the banquet had been set up, and Xi Ze saw him and hurriedly called: "Wanfeng, come and sit!" No need to salute! ”

Xia Wanfeng still bowed her hand to Xi Ze and said respectfully: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" ”

Xi Ze hurriedly said, "Come here!" The feast is ready! This wine is good, you can taste it! ”

"Emperor Xie!" Xia Wanfeng sat down opposite Xi Ze, still smiling like a spring breeze as before. It's like you didn't go to prison for a while!

Xi Ze poured a glass of wine for Xia Wanfeng, poured himself another glass of wine, and said, "Come, do this one!" ”

Xia Wanfeng hurriedly picked up the wine glass and touched it with Xi Ze, and then drank it all.

Xi Ze sighed and said, "Wan Feng, this time, you suffered!" ”

Xia Wanfeng put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "The emperor is serious, this time, Weichen really didn't suffer!" The emperor has an order, no one is allowed to interrogate Weichen, nor can he be punished, no one comes to Weichen to ask a word, every day he sends wine and food, Weichen is full of food and drink in prison, there is nothing to do, he is lazy, he has a good rest for a few days, and Weichen also wants to thank the emperor for giving Weichen a holiday! ”

He said politely, Xi Ze's face was also good, Xi Ze took a deep breath, and said: "I know the things in prison, how can I treat you harshly before the matter is investigated?" In fact...... It's not that I don't believe in your loyalty, it's just that I was really angry at the time, and all the evidence pointed to you, so I had to temporarily wronged you as a stopgap measure, do you understand? Can it be blamed? ”

Xia Wanfeng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is originally someone else's divisive plan, if Weichen blames the emperor, it is a stupid trick to fall for someone else's trick, Your Majesty, how can the prime minister you personally promote be so stupid?" How can you not see that the emperor is too careful, and the minister is not worried at all in prison, with the emperor's sage, he can naturally find out everything clearly, and Weichen just needs to wait, so Weichen is relaxing and resting every day, and he doesn't have to do anything, because, Weichen believes in the emperor! Between us, there is still a tacit understanding of this! ”

Xi Ze nodded with great relief and said, "This time, it's all up to Chengyou to have a way to make that slave tell the truth, Chengyou is big, and he can also share my worries!" ”

Xia Wanfeng smiled and said, "I should thank His Royal Highness King Rui a lot, he can share the emperor's worries, and Weichen is also happy for the emperor!" ”

Xi Ze let out a long sigh and said, "Over the years, Chengyou's growth has indeed been relatively large, but it still lacks experience, but integrity is very important, and it is also what I value!" ”

Xia Wanfeng smiled: "Are you afraid that you won't have a chance to practice?" As long as the emperor lets go, there are more opportunities! ”

Xi Ze suddenly frowned and said: "This time, I just demoted Mu Xuesong's official position, and there was no serious punishment, do you know my heart?" (To be continued.) )
