Prime Minister Duan knelt down calmly, "Your Majesty, the old minister got the news today, saying that the king of Zhennan was dissatisfied with the emperor's execution of the crown prince, and the nine princes quarreled with the officials of the imperial court in the palace, this matter is known to everyone, and then there was such a thing, the old minister thought, this matter, in the final analysis, is actually not accidental, but the old minister is chilled that the king of Zhennan wants to execute the prince of Zhou for his own selfishness, but he didn't expect that this matter would be known by the old minister. ”

The emperor endured the anger in his heart, and he said coldly to King Zhennan, "You tell me honestly, do you want to deal with the prince, is it a personal vendetta, or do you hate what the prince did, so you want to seek justice for the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom?" ”

Yuan Chufeng was a little surprised in his heart, if he was in the past, the emperor must have dealt with him directly, but today, he deliberately gave himself a chance, which was also something that King Zhennan had not thought about, for a while, he was suddenly a little stunned.

"Back to my father, Erchen thought of the time when he was in Michi, what the prince of Zhou did was really good, but today it was also deliberately done by someone, Erchen was worried that the prince of Zhou left Yan and returned to Zhou, which would be unfavorable to my Yan country, so he sent someone to block the waterway, who knew that he went to the Acacia Cliff, and finally fell off the cliff and died, although this matter was not done by Erchen, but this ending was also what Erchen thought."

When the emperor heard King Zhennan's explanation, he was skeptical, "That's it, but I almost misunderstood you because of today's events, you have been busy with things in the court during this time, but it is also hard, you go back and rest first, I will let people investigate the matter of the prison." ”

Prime Minister Duan was stunned on the side, he originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the prince of Zhou Guo fell off the cliff to play a role, so that the king of Zhennan would be disposed of, and there would never be a day, but at this time, when he heard the emperor's words, this was clearly not a punishment, but a praising of Yuan Chufeng.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, didn't you want to use this opportunity to negotiate conditions with Zhou Guo, but King Zhennan was so impulsive and ruined the emperor's plan, it stands to reason that he should be punished?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the silent adults on the side, and the two adults glanced at each other, and then quickly understood what Prime Minister Duan meant.

Dali Siqing knelt down and said respectfully, "This matter should have been the emperor's family affair, but the prison managed by the king of Zhennan during this time, but there was such a thing, the prince left the prison and disappeared. ”

The waiter of the criminal department also took the opportunity to add a handful of firewood, he raised his eyes and said to the emperor above the main throne, "In the military camp, there has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and it is understandable that the emperor favors the king of Zhennan, but now the matter is not benevolent, please think twice, don't let people guess our Yan people." ”

The emperor originally wanted to confine Yuan Chufeng, but when he heard the waiter of the Criminal Department say this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, in fact, Yuan Chufeng's move was deeply his intention, but it had been hindered by Renzhi's affection before.

He said coldly, "I have made up my mind, if there is something in your heart, I will not listen, how can the prince of Zhou State forgive us Yan soldiers, before I was just an expedient measure, but it is not a reason for you to punish the king of Zhennan, he fought in the south and north in the past few months, it was very hard, and now if it is because of the matter of the prince of a foreign country, it is not appropriate to punish him?" ”

Prime Minister Duan finally understood what the emperor meant, although he listened to his advice and asked the ministers to come over, but his heart had long been biased towards the king of Zhennan, thinking of this, he was a little depressed in his heart, he could only admit the current result.

"What the emperor said is right, this matter is not considered by Weichen, please forgive me." Prime Minister Duan said slowly.

The emperor waved his hand, "Okay, you all go down, today's events should not be there, and you are not allowed to arrange the king of Zhennan in the future, otherwise I will never spare it, do you understand?" ”

"Yes."

Everyone left the palace, but the king of Zhennan was left behind, and the Nine Emperor Princes saw that Prime Minister Duan was in a bad mood, so they left with Prime Minister Duan and walked until the time of Xuanwu Gate.

The Nine Emperor Princes said sarcastically to Prime Minister Duan, "Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, the Prime Minister has been making suggestions for this matter, I don't know what you think now that you have such a result?" ”

Prime Minister Duan snorted coldly, "The Nine Emperors laughed, the old minister never knew about this matter, but he only learned about it, but he didn't know what the Nine Emperors meant?" Could it be that the Nine Emperors thought that today's incident was planned by the lower officials? ”

The Nine Emperors crossed their arms and said with a smile, "I know you won't admit today's events, but Prime Minister Duan, there are some things that you really don't want to be too proud of, the so-called one report and one report, you will know when the time comes, I don't care about today's things with you, but there are some things that are not worthy of the prince's personal action." ”

Prime Minister Duan's face was a little annoyed, he didn't expect the Nine Emperor Princes to say such a thing.

He was a little depressed in his heart, but this was not the time to have an attack, he looked at Jiuhuangzi coldly, and said coldly, "If there are other things, I won't bother the Nine Emperors, and I ask the Nine Emperors to stay." ”

The Nine Emperors looked at his departing figure and thought to himself, I didn't plan to send you.

It's just that thinking of today's situation, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, how dangerous it is today, this guy actually plans to calculate the imperial brother together with the two ministers.

Fortunately, he was avoided by the emperor's brother, otherwise he would have been scolded by his father today, he has always known his father's temper, so he was relieved to escape at this time.

King Zhennan was left in the palace, and the emperor didn't speak for a long time, but he could bear his anger, he didn't speak in the emperor, he didn't say a word, and stood quietly in the palace, waiting for the emperor's orders.

The emperor looked at King Zhennan a little helplessly, and then he said slowly, "What are you going to do now?" I don't blame you for the prince's matter, after all, I know that there must be something you can't interfere with, but there are some things that must be properly resolved in the end, and this matter will be handled by you. ”

King Zhennan said respectfully, "It's my father." ”

"Yes, Erchen understands."

After Yuan Chufeng finished speaking, he then left the palace, today's affairs are complicated, but for him, there are more important things.

When Yuan Chufeng returned to the mansion, it was already ten minutes before the sun set, and when he pushed the bamboo garden, the warbler was grooming.
