In the city of Los Angeles, the forbidden door is open.

The crown is vertical and horizontal, and the car comes in all directions.

Pingdan, that is, around the dawn of the day, the dignitaries of the previous dynasty had to come to the gate of Taicheng early to wait.

Xu You was no exception, he came to the palace gate by car, and when he saw that Xie Xiwen, Tao Jiang and others had arrived, they nodded and said hello to each other, and did not talk. When the bell rings, the palace door opens, and there are attendants holding the "door book", and the names and appearances are written on them.

The Son of Heaven faces the south, high on the throne, the three princes face the north, the east is the top, the military generals face the east, the north is the top, the Wenchen faces the west, the north is the top, and the rest of the ministers are seated according to the class.

Xu You is a general and ranks first, but the shift is below the third public, so he sits in second place in the west.

Although the shift is slightly lower, the power is not the same, the three princes' duties have long been divided by the three provinces, and even the Taiwei is only Xu You's nominal leader, but there is no force in his hand that can be directly commanded, and he never obeys his orders, it all depends on Xu You's respect for him.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Xu You played the results of the Western Expedition, and these contents were sent to Taiwan Province in advance, and everyone, including the emperor, was familiar with it, but the process still had to go, and when Xu You finished speaking, the palace servant of the Imperial History Terrace, Shi Kouzu, was wide and said: "The general reports the good news or not?" Yao Jin did not arrive in Chang'an and died, so that our army sent troops from righteous war to injustice, frustrated Qu Wugu to return to obedience, and made great contributions to breaking Xiliang, but suddenly rebelled, and was almost wiped out by the general. Luoyang gained and lost, Junyi won and lost, Zhongmu lost his troops and lost generals, and dared to exchange prisoners of war with Suo Lu without the permission of the imperial court. Reckless selfish desires are greater than discipline, wanton and reckless contempt for national law, dare to ask the general, what crime should he be guilty of? ”

Kou Zu sprinkled widely, counting Xu You's seventeen mistakes of different sizes, or how to say that professional trolls can't be provoked, experts know whether they live well or not, he first deducted three big hats, Yao Jin's death, the rebellion of Frustrated Qu Wugu, and the unauthorized release of the Northern Wei Dynasty's nobles, involving righteousness, ambition and collaborating with the enemy and other illusory, death without evidence but the most likely to arouse suspicion of the charges, and then use other aspects to supplement and circumstantial evidence, and make the most insidious moves.

Cheng Zhangji's face was embarrassed in the imperial history, and he stared at Kou Zukuan fiercely, if it weren't for the court discussion, it is estimated that he would have slapped him earlier. Yushitai is his sphere of influence, but today's impeachment of Kou Zukuan, without notifying him in advance, is an unauthorized action, and the most hateful thing is that Kou Zukuan is a talent he cultivated from the bottom, but he didn't expect to betray himself.

Xie Xiwen's hand stretched too long!

Also, these people from poor backgrounds are really not credible!

Immediately followed by Cai Yangping, Zuo Shizhi Qiu Yanshi, Tingwei Zuoping Sun Xuan, Secretary Lang Yang Qi, etc., many civil officials under the fifth or sixth grades attacked him, as if Xu You was not a triumphant general, but a guilty person.

Xu Youan sat still, looking at his nose and nose, and his nose and heart, and his expression did not change in the slightest. The emperor was a little anxious, and frequently looked at An Zishang, he was a lieutenant and commanded the whole army, so he should stand up and speak for Xu You at this time. But An Zishang's eyes seemed to be open and closed, drowsy, I don't know if he didn't see it, or he didn't pay attention to the emperor's hints at all.

The Wenchen spat and attacked Xu You for more than an hour, Xie Xiwen came forward to stop, and then asked Xu You: "The general can defend himself!" ”

Xu You said lightly: "The impeachment of all the monarchs is a fact, and I have nothing to defend myself." I am willing to resign as a general and return to Qiantang to preside over Xuanji Academy and cultivate talents for the country. ”

There was a thunderstorm in the court, Xie Xiwen was stunned, who doesn't know that Xu You's tongue is a lotus, the dead can be said to be alive, and the black can be said to be white, why is it so easy to admit defeat?

In fact, even he himself thinks that many of the accusations against Xu You today are full of blame and too harsh, but in the face of political disputes, he must be merciful and soft-hearted, and he must take advantage of the fact that the court has not decided to reward him, and give a stormy attack in order to erase some of Xu You's world-famous achievements, otherwise, let him become an official and become a knight, and no one will be able to control him in the future!

The reason why Xie Xiwen chose to attack was because earlier, the emperor asked him to pass through the tone and prepare to crown Xu You as the Duke of Qin. In addition to the special historical environment in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, as well as the change of dynasties, Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao of Wei, in the past 700 years, there has been no different surname Wang, let alone a different surname.

Xie Xiwen persuaded hard, saying that it is still the system, the prince is not a prince and is not a prince, and the duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male five lords are dedicated to the clan, and the meritorious heroes are the founding lords and the township marquis, the pavilion marquis, the marquis of Guannei, and the marquis of Guanwai. Xu You is already the Marquis of the founding county, and if the lord wants to be gracious, he can be named the founding county duke, if he makes an exception to seal the duke, the grace is too much, I am afraid it is not the blessing of the ministers.

An Xiulin's rare stubbornness asked Xie Xiwen to express his support on behalf of Shangshu Province during the court meeting, Xie Xiwen saw that the emperor had made up his mind, so he had to retreat to the second, saying that he could follow the precedent of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and he could be made a marquis.

No matter how great Xu You's credit is, the big Guowei and Huo?

An Xiulin still disagreed, saying that Han Wu was eloquent and strategic, and Wei and Huo Zhigong were divided into five points to the Son of Heaven, and the marquis could also be feuded. But he is just a middle-aged person, and the work of extinguishing the cold is eighty percent to Xu You, and the marquis is not enough to be rewarded.

Xie Xiwen categorically refused and asked: If you destroy Liang, you will be crowned a prince, and when you destroy the Heavenly Master, do you want to be crowned a king? In the future, if you go north to the Wei Kingdom, what will Your Majesty reward you with?

An Xiulin's answer made Xie Xiwen completely desperate, and even said that he could also be crowned king when he should be crowned king, he would not live up to Xu You, and Xu You would definitely not lose.

It was also this secret conversation that made Xie Xiwen recognize the situation clearly, and decided to take the risk of launching a surprise attack when Xu You had just returned to Beijing and could not figure out the situation, even if he could not cut off his Qingyun Road, at least he had to hold down the momentum of his ascension.

can't seal the public, it's the bottom line!

Tao Jiang said coldly: "The general is so scheming!" This trick is to retreat into advance, and it is extremely skillful. You have the inherent fault of not knowing people, having no way to command the army, and making few decisions on the spot, but after all, opening up the territory and pacifying Xiliang, this is a great achievement that no one can erase, but you want to pretend to resign and go into hiding, do you deliberately want to arouse the anger of the army and some people who do not know the truth in the government and the opposition, gather into the crowd, accuse and scold the court for being unkind, so as to create momentum for you, and then coerce the military and public opinion, and coerce Your Majesty and the court to increase the reward? ”

Military generals use knives and arrows to kill, civilian officials use words to kill, Tao Jiang's words are estimated to have the level of a great grandmaster, the entry point is tricky and ruthless, no matter how he refutes, it will fall into his pre-set rhythm.

Xu You was silent.

Tao Jiang sneered and sat back.

The atmosphere of the Taiji Hall is solemn to the extreme!

Liu Ning looked left and right, and said with a smile: "General, the officials have heard about things, and they are not right about people, so you don't have to be strange and angry." Today's court discussion, Your Majesty is here, the ministers are here, if there is a grievance, it is better to defend yourself, I think, most people can still distinguish right from wrong......"

He seems to be in harmony, but he is actually forcing Xu You. In many cases, the more the argument became, the more muddy it became, and the other side obviously grasped some of the inevitable small problems in the process of the Western Expedition, and then magnified these small problems through the incomparably pure trolls of the officials and the illusion formed by the large number of people.

In other words, right or wrong doesn't matter, once Xu You starts arguing, this yellow mud will fall into the crotch of his pants, and at that time, it's not but, it stinks and doesn't kill people, but it is disgusting and dead!

"Yes, the general is the pillar of the country, how can he resign at every turn?" Yu Hao said tremblingly: "Zhongshu Ling is right, the impeachment of the general is the responsibility of the officials, but whether the impeachment is right or wrong is up to everyone to discuss and decide." I believe in the general, but the general does not defend himself, and rumors will fly afterwards, which is not good for the court and the general. ”

Liu Ning and Yu Hao's sudden statement shows that Xu You's alliance with Yu and Liumen before the Western Expedition ended in order to deal with Xie Xiwen's old party.

This is expected, the old party is on the left, Xu You is on the right, one side has the holy family, the other side has military power, Yu and Liu are now in the middle, they are more concerned about the balance of the court situation and mutual restraint, the old party is strong, they support Xu You, Xu You is strong, they support the old party.

Why did the emperor give Xu You a day off yesterday, that is, let him hurry up to negotiate with the gate valve, and repeat the scene of the last time he joined forces, who knew that Xu You closed the door and thanked the guests, and actually sat and waited to die.

Gu Yun couldn't stand it, stood up angrily, and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops thousands of miles away, the situation is changing rapidly, who can do everything in detail and not make mistakes?" Is the Chinese book ordered, is the Shangshu ordered, or can Xie and Tao shoot it? ”

Xu You sighed in his heart, Gu Yun's work in cultivating qi over the years is still a little worse, and his work is even worse, this doesn't need Xie Xiwen and Tao Jiang to come forward, Kou Zukuan immediately grabbed the handle of the knife handed over by Gu Yun, and said: "I heard that the Ministry of Officials is full of scriptures and history, but I didn't expect that my knowledge is not as good as that of the people in the market. State affairs ask the three provinces, prison management asks the court captain, Qian Gu asks the household department, military affairs ask the general's mansion, each performs its own duties, can the upper and lower peace be safe, if the Zhongshu Ling Shangshu Ling can also do what the general does, then the imperial court still has a general to do? I wondered why Gu Shangshu wanted to visit the general yesterday, but when I heard it today, it turned out that the two of you were secretly plotting in the secret room...... Your Majesty, the minister, and the palace servant Shi Kou Zukuan, are willing to use their lives as a basis to impeach Xu You and Gu Yun for forming a party and messing with the government! ”

This is desperate, the impeached official must immediately resign, the emperor is not allowed, and he has to temporarily avoid it and wait for the investigation. However, if there is no evidence, the impeachment is unsuccessful, the emperor is furious, and Xu You and Gu Yun, who are the bitter masters, do not intercede, and Kou Zukuan has a high chance of really dying.

Everyone in the hall was shocked and inexplicable, how much enmity you have with Xu You, why did you get to this point? looked at Xie Xiwen again, what do you want to do? What does it mean, so fierce, can't live a better life?

Originally, Xie Xiwen was difficult to Xu You, and everyone can understand it, it is nothing more than finding a reason to deduct a basin and erase some of Xu You's credit, otherwise the merit will not be rewarded, or the reward will be too light, and it will seem that the court is unkind, but if it is really rewarded, I am afraid that Xu Youwei will not be able to lose it.

The emperor also turned his head to look at Xie Xiwen, his eyes clearly revealing dissatisfaction. Xie Xiwen was also a little stunned at this time, he didn't plan to meet Xu Youtu poorly, now is not the time, but what is the situation with Kou Zukuan? Did you take medicine before going to court?

Kou Zukuan has his own calculations, this time by Xie Xiwen's lobbying, first betrayed Zhang Ji, his reputation must be stinky, and then offended Xu You, the road is too narrow, Xie Xiwen's promise can only be guaranteed for a while, not for a lifetime, why not just go out, take Xu You and Gu Yun as stepping stones, and set up his own iron-clad character who is not afraid of power, life and death, and for the country and the people, so that he can not only jump out of Xie Xiwen's pocket, but also get his help, not to mention the infamy of betrayal, and even Xu You will not dare to deal with himself in the future......

The opportunity is only for those who are prepared, fight, fight, and the imperial history becomes Jiuqing!

Gu Yun's political experience is mostly in the locality, from county to county, from county to state, transferred to the capital for less than a year, he is very good at governing the local area, and he is still at the level of enlightenment in the war of words in the court, in the face of Kou Zukuan's aggressiveness, he has no power to fight back at all, and he was slandered and formed a party, and he was immediately angry, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Xu You straightened his clothes, left his seat, walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down, and said: "Zai Fu suspects that I invite me to sell my name, and Yushi suspects me of forming a party for personal gain, and even Gu Shangshu was implicated in looking for me yesterday to reminisce about the past...... Your Majesty, I can't argue with it, in August of the Western Expedition, so many brothers were killed and wounded, all of them were good men in Jiangdong with families and rooms, but I took them out, but I couldn't bring them back, what face did I have to stand in the court, and what face did I have to see my father? The minister's will has been decided, please Your Majesty remember that the minister is still a thin inch, allow the minister to resign, and return to his hometown to study......"

"The general must not!" An Xiulin anxiously interrupted Xu You, wanting to get up and support him personally, but he couldn't lose his honor in the palace, so he hurriedly ordered Huang Yuan to walk down the imperial steps and help Xu You up on his behalf, and said with relief: "Xiantai has the right to impeach, I can't stop it, but I know the loyalty of the general, the sun and the moon can be learned, and there will never be any suspicion...... "Yushitai is also called Xiantai or Wutai."

The lord of the people said to this point, the courtiers were not moved to cry bitterly, but also had to retract the resignation with interest, but Xu You seemed to have an iron heart, he was a second-grade little master, Huang Yuan tried his strength, but he couldn't help himself, so he could only retreat to the side, Xu You kowtowed again, and said: "It is precisely because Your Majesty's trust in the ministers is beyond repeat that the ministers cannot be spoiled and spoiled, which affects Your Majesty's reputation." Since Kou Yushi was impeached, according to the court outline, the minister should resign to avoid suspicion, if he doesn't go, how does the world look at His Majesty, how does the world look at Wei Chen? ”

An Xiulin just didn't allow it, Xu You couldn't kneel, Xie Xiwen noticed that the situation was out of control, and he also made up his mind not to say anything, and sat back to see what kind of medicine was sold in Xu You's gourd, not to mention the other courtiers, the old party and Xu You have become mortal enemies, who dares to end up at this time?

In the end, An Xiulin reluctantly agreed, almost tearfully approved Xu You's resignation, and after retiring from the dynasty, he took his hand and repeatedly told him that he could not leave Jingyunyun without an edict, Xu You was full of promises, and left Taicheng, not to the general's mansion, but to the house in Changgan.

Immediately, the results of the court meeting spread all over Jinling City, and within three or five days, the news of Xu You's resignation also reached the ears of Liutian, who was hiding in Ziyang Mountain in Xiangzhou, and the Heavenly Master Dao, who was entrenched in Yizhou......
