The emperor has been getting older and older lately, his hair has turned white, the crow's feet and nasolabial folds at the corners of his eyes have deepened a lot, and because of his illness, the whole person looks sick and weak.

And the changes in the emperor during this period of time naturally can't escape the eyes of these court officials, so except for the staunch pure ministers, the rest of the officials began to switch to the crown prince camp or the three princes' camp, after all, who doesn't want a dragon from the dragon? It's a great honor.

According to the current situation, there are a little more people in the prince's faction and they look stronger, but for some reason, the three princes have often been praised and rewarded by the emperor during this time, so many people have pressed the treasure on Ning Junqi's body, and the battle between the two factions is becoming more and more obvious.

And the party and government are destined to be a bloodless battle.

The second day, the capital, the early dynasty.

The Emperor stepped forward slowly, sat down on the dragon chair, and was greeted by the ministers below.

Then, the big eunuch on the side took two steps forward, and a familiar voice sounded at one time: "There is a book, nothing to retreat." ”

The two officials from Ning Junqi's camp glanced at each other, and then one of them stepped forward and said loudly to the emperor: "Minister-there is a book." ”

The emperor couldn't see who the person below was, so he simply didn't look at it, and asked directly: "What happened to Aiqing?" ”

When the man heard that he was called Aiqing by the emperor, he was excited in his heart, so his voice became even higher-pitched: "The minister wants to sue someone!" ”

The emperor pursed his lips a little boredly, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, he was already very annoyed to listen to the impeachment of these officials all day long, but it turned out that when he approved the excerpt yesterday, it was still a matter of impeachment, but as a result, when he came up today, he was impeached again.

The emperor was puzzled, these people didn't do anything every day, would they go to grab other people's pigtails every day?

If I used all my energy to focus on other people's efforts to build the country, what a beautiful scene would my Dayong be now?

However, a dream is a dream after all, and the reality is that the emperor still has to break his head with each other every morning.

Just when the emperor couldn't lift his spirits, the man let out a piercing screeching sound again.

"That person is the son of our Dingguo General, and he is also the current commander of Xiao, Xiao Hao!"

"I want to sue him Xiao Hao for embezzling disaster relief funds during the Jiangnan disaster relief period, resulting in hundreds of people dying because they could not be treated, until now, so long after the flood, there are still people sleeping in the rubble, homeless."

At this moment, countless people in the court made surprised sounds, and everyone began to whisper.

"What?"

"Are you kidding? Is it so possible for Commander Xiao? ”

"How could it be? Do you know people and faces, but don't know your heart? Some people are deeply hidden, where can we see it? ”

Everyone looked at the impeachment official standing in the middle, and then looked at the general of Dingguo who stood at the head of the generals, for a while, they didn't know who to believe, but in fact, in the bottom of their hearts, because of the buff bonus of the Dingguo march, everyone still believed that Xiao Hao was a little more, after all, he was the descendant of the general of Dingguo, and it was impossible to do such a thing.

And the crown prince Ning Junhao and Hang Yixuan, after hearing Xiao Hao's name, Tongren couldn't help but constrict.

At this time, Chen Liu made a calm gesture to the two, and the two slowly stabilized their minds.

At this moment, the emperor, who had some ears behind his back, beckoned to the great eunuch and asked, "What did he just say?" ”

The big eunuch approached the emperor and whispered something, the emperor knew what the man had just said, only to see his face very solemn, looking at the general of Dingguo who was standing in front of him expressionlessly, pursing his lips, the emperor knew that he was already angry, and it seemed that the case had to be tried properly.

So he coughed twice, and the whispering in the whole hall stopped, and all the officials turned their eyes to the man who sat in the highest seat.

"Ahem, you said that Commander Xiao embezzled the disaster relief money, is there any evidence? You take it out and let me see it before I make a decision. ”

I don't know that the man really pulled out his sleeve, took out a pile of papers, which were densely filled with something, and then respectfully handed the things to a small eunuch in the lower position, and then the little eunuch passed it to the big eunuch, and finally the big eunuch presented it to the emperor.

Prince Ning Junhao couldn't help but glance in the direction of Ning Junqi, but he didn't expect that Ning Junqi also looked at him, and even smiled provocatively at him.

Where else does the prince not understand? All of this is a ghost sent by Ning Junqi behind his back!

The emperor took the papers, looked through them one by one, and when he saw that he was simply furious in the end, he slapped the dragon chair fiercely: "How can this be reasonable, how can it be so unreasonable." ”

Seeing the emperor's performance, the expressions of the crown prince Hang Yixuan, Chen Liu and the others became solemn in an instant, although they didn't believe that Xiao Hao was such a person, but they couldn't stand someone framing him!

The emperor was so angry that he coughed several times, and when he finally eased up, he looked at the general of Dingguo and the others below with complicated eyes, and then said: "Send someone to arrest Xiao Hao." ”

As soon as they heard the emperor's words, the prince and the others panicked, and the prince stepped forward directly and said: "Father, the son of the minister thinks that there must be something strange about this matter, with the son of the son of the son of the emperor, the son of the emperor will definitely not be the one who did such a thing, Xiao is from a peasant family, so he naturally understands the suffering of the people, how can he harm the people?" I beg my father to investigate it well before making a decision. ”

Hearing the prince's words, the emperor did hesitate, he had seen Xiao Hao's child several times, every time he looked at his eyes, they were clean and flawless, the only thing he carried was a momentum that belonged to young people, and during the conversation, he could also know that Xiao Hao was a very motivated and responsible young man, such a child, would he really embezzle disaster relief funds? And this disaster relief is still he took the initiative to go, if it is embezzlement of disaster relief funds, is it too unreasonable?

Thinking like this, the emperor's face shifted slightly.

Seeing this, Ning Junqi hurriedly stepped forward and said to the prince: "The prince is very interesting, what does it mean that an official from a peasant family will not become a corrupt official, are there still few such people in history?" As soon as this kind of person gains power, like a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven, they think that they are invincible, and they oppress the people everywhere, even more exaggerated than those high-ranking officials and nobles, and your words are not convincing, prince. And the above is called your understanding of Commander Xiao, it turns out that you and Commander Xiao are already so familiar? Could it be that the money embezzled by Xiao Hao has gone into the prince's money bag? ”

That's right, Ning Junqi said this on purpose, because his people found out some time ago that a large amount of money had flowed into the Prince's Mansion, and the amount was terrifying, and when he talked about it now, he wanted to cause the emperor to suspect the prince and check the flow of the prince's mansion.

In fact, the money that Ning Junqi said was the first return benefit after Ning Junqi and Hang Yidong jointly opened a branch before, and there was nothing suspicious, but the prince's secrecy work was too good, so no one found out now, and now the biggest behind-the-scenes boss of the ready-to-wear store is the prince Ning Junhao.

The crown prince was choked by Ning Junqi's words, and he didn't know what to say, and it was precisely because of the prince's momentary hesitation that the emperor squinted his eyes again and began to doubt unconsciously.

It's not that the emperor wants to be suspicious, but as he gets older, especially during this time, the emperor can feel more and more powerless, and every time at this time, he will be very panicked, afraid that his current self will be defeated by the young prince, and the center of power will be far away from him, especially the crown prince, he needs to be wary of the most.

Just when the sick and suspicious emperor was about to start doubting the crown prince, the general of Dingguo, who had been standing at the forefront, as if he had not been affected in the slightest, finally stood up and bowed to the emperor on the dragon chair with great dignity, and then said: "Your Majesty, Weichen asks Your Majesty to arrest Xiao Hao. ”

Everyone in the hall was shocked, what kind of operation is this? Lao Tzu personally opened his mouth to demand the arrest of his son? Righteous annihilation?

Just when everyone was stunned, General Dingguo continued to say in a deep voice: "Please Your Majesty arrest Xiao Hao and torture him severely, no matter whether he has committed such a big crime or not, since this crime has been pushed to the head of my Xiao family, then what if my Xiao family admits it?" Even if he Xiao Hao is gone, my Xiao He is still there! We will be able to protect this great Yongjiang Mountain for a lifetime! ”

The emperor looked at the old man with frosty white temples in front of him, and his heart was unbearable, the general of Dingguo was also old, and Xiao Hao was his only son, he had made so many big mistakes when he was young, if he ...... it now But if he doesn't get it back, he can't be so irresponsible.

That's it, that's it, let's take care of him somewhere else.

The emperor took a deep breath, and then said to the people below: "After Xiao Hao is arrested, interrogate him well, don't use the punishment at will, you must ask whether Xiao Hao is embezzling disaster relief money, don't hide it at will!" ”

The emperor's words suddenly made Ning Junqi's loud calculation come to naught.

Everyone looked at this scene in a daze, and sighed in their hearts, this ginger is really old and spicy!

Although the general of Dingguo said that he was willing to admit the crime, he said everywhere that his son was wronged, not only stated his position, but also reminded the emperor of his life as a horse for Dayong, how did the emperor be ruthless to let the elderly general Dingguo lose his only son?

Sure enough, none of the people who can be officials are simple characters.
