Liu Xingzhi said contemptuously: "Who is as incompetent as you." I have to enter the palace and reason with Liu Yan in person, from ancient times to the present, how can a nephew poison his uncle, this little cub is so vicious that it really makes the people's teeth cold, if he can become the emperor, wouldn't it be a big ...... in the world"

Liu Xingyuan hurriedly covered his younger brother's mouth, lowered his voice and asked, "You don't want to die!" The emperor is still in the house! ”

Just as the two brothers were pushing, Zhang Cen was hurrying into the yard. Liu Xingzhi hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhang Cen and asked, "Father-in-law Zhang, what's the situation?" Please tell the emperor, just say that our family is really worried about my father's comfort, and see if we can come into the house to visit. ”

Zhang Cen looked embarrassed, "You better wait obediently!" You don't understand the emperor's temper. When Zhang Cen was about to leave, he turned around and whispered, "But it should be soon." Then he went into the house.

Liu Xingzhi heard the fog cover of the clouds and mountains, and did not understand what Zhang Cen meant, what is called fast?

Zhang Cen pushed the door in, carefully closed the door, and looked back to see that the emperor was still sitting on the edge of the couch in a daze, so he had to stand aside in fear.

Emperor Han suddenly asked, "Is the matter all right?" ”

"It's arranged." Zhang Cen replied.

"What do the courtiers look like?" Emperor Han asked lightly.

Zhang Cen paused, "Everyone is a little surprised? ”

"What about the prince?"

"He ......," Zhang Cen hesitated for a moment, "Prince, he seems to be a little nervous. ”

"Where's Lu Zuo?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Cen shook his head, "I can't see any changes!" ”

"When is it now?"

"It's almost noon."

At this time, Emperor Han seemed to be moved, the wrinkles on his cheeks were like furrows that were difficult to fill, and a cloudy teardrop crossed and hung on his face, not falling for a long time. Emperor Han shook his head and sighed in despair, wiped away his tears, stood up, and then straightened his clothes and said, "Go to court!" ”

At noon, the court officials waiting in the Xuanzheng Hall were already standing numb in their legs and feet, and several obese officials had begun to sweat like rain. But even so, everyone seemed to be tacitly quiet, and they all understood that maybe a storm was coming, thinking of this, everyone's eyes would invariably fall on the crown prince Liu Yan.

And the crown prince Liu Yan was even more in a dilemma at this time, it was difficult to sit still, last night's plan failed, Deng Zhuo was caught by Lu Zuo, fortunately, Deng Zhuo was already in a different place, and he couldn't confess himself, but the emperor's grandfather suddenly wanted to come to the court again, and it was estimated that it was because of this matter that King Ning was poisoned, thinking of this, and then looking at the strange eyes of the courtiers around him, Liu Yan only felt a chill on his back.

Xun Mou stood behind Liu Yan, stepped forward, and gave Liu Yan a look. Liu Yan understood, and leaned close to Xun Mou to listen.

Xun Mou said in a low voice: "Your Highness remember what I said, if you ask for a crime, deny it, don't hesitate." ”

Liu Yan was obviously a little nervous, unable to speak, and simply nodded to understand.

Prime Minister Li Shi was also standing in the first row of the literary class, seeing that the prince looked nervous, and he also heard about the prince's events in the past two days, he was actually worried about the prince in his heart, but this time the emperor didn't know what to do with the prince? Once the emperor blames the crown prince, what attitude should he take to admonish the emperor? Ay! After all, he is his uncle, and if he has any problems, it is estimated that he will not have good fruit to eat.

There is a tall figure standing next to the dragon pillar in the main hall, and at this time he already has his own thoughts, his brother is newly mourned, he failed to save his brother's life, not to mention, but also let his brother be infamous on his back, this time the emperor is in the court, and he must seek justice.

In another corner of the Chaoban, Lu Zuo was intently observing the changes in everyone's expressions, and it was time to collect the first net of fish first. Cui Hao, who was standing in front of Lu Zuo, suddenly turned his head, searched around with his eyes, and then landed on Lu Zuo, and the two nodded wisely, and then turned back again.

"The emperor drove to ......"

A shrill voice came, and all the officials in the hall shook in unison. The crown prince Liu Yan's reaction was obviously much sluggish, and he was stunned for a moment before he knelt down the mountain and shouted long live.

On the Xuanzheng Palace, Emperor Han was sitting precariously, his complexion was ruddy, and he did not have the fatigue of the morning at all.

The ministers knelt for a long time, and when they saw that Emperor Han still didn't mean to let everyone get up, they were all a little at a loss.

When Liu Yan couldn't help but want to look up at the emperor's grandfather's face, Emperor Han suddenly said, "Let's all get up and talk!" ”

Baiguan, you look at me, I look at you, after hesitating for a moment, I stood up in twos and threes.

The Xuanzheng Hall returned to a dead silence, no one dared to take a breath, and no one dared to speak first out of class, because everyone still didn't know the emperor's position at the moment.

After a long time, Emperor Han finally spoke: "Where is the Ministry of Works?" ”

The air in the hall suddenly condensed for a moment, and everyone was a little caught off guard, and they couldn't guess whether the emperor really didn't know, or if he said so on purpose. The officials looked at each other again, at a loss.

Seeing that no one stood up to answer, Emperor Han asked again without changing his face: "Who is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Gao Yun was already crying bitterly at this time, hurriedly left work, knelt on the ground, and cried and shouted: "Your Majesty, the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry is now vacant, and it was originally held by Gao Han, the eldest brother of the minister, but now he ......" Before he finished speaking, he burst into tears again, choked up and continued, "He has died unjustly in prison, and his body is still hanging on the tower of the west gate of the city......

"What?" Emperor Han angrily rebuked, "There is such a thing? ”

Gao Yun saw that the emperor was finally willing to speak for his brother, and he couldn't help sobbing so much that he almost fainted, and several officials next to him hurriedly stepped forward to press Gao Yun's life.

The crown prince Liu Yan hurriedly came out of the class and said: "Grandpa Huang, last year it was Gao Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who was responsible for dredging the river and building embankments, and now the Yellow River is bursting, and it should be Gao Han who is responsible, so his grandson sent Gao Han to prison, but he never thought that Gao Han committed suicide in prison." ”

"Then you have real evidence?"

"This ......," Liu Yan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Sun Er just wanted to put Gao Han in prison first, and then interrogate him carefully, but he didn't expect Gao Han to commit suicide in fear of sin. ”

Prime Minister Li Shizhi hurriedly went out to excuse the prince and said: "If you don't give an explanation to the people, I'm afraid that the people of the world will point the finger at the court. It is understandable that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Gao Han to prison, after all, he is directly responsible for this matter. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Han hesitated for a long time, looked at the others, and saw that everyone had no opinions, so he cast his sharp eyes into another corner of the court, and then said slowly: "Lord Lu, what do you say?" ”
