The wind of the first month whined against the lattices of the windows, and the few withered plants in the courtyard were covered with fresh snow. Although it was already late in the morning, the sky was still dark, and the earth seemed to be wrapped in a huge milky white quilt because of the cold of winter, and it refused to wake up. In the study of King Ning's mansion, Liu Xun, King of Ning, and his son Liu Xingzhi chatted happily, but due to the cold weather and the fact that King Ning was getting older, he began to feel a little cold in his hands and feet, so Liu Xun shouted to ask his subordinates to send a hand stove, and then light the smoker in the middle of the room. Suddenly, the warmth in the study was warm, Liu Xun also put the Buddha beads in his hand on the bookcase gently, picked up the stove and kept exchanging rubbing with his hands, feeling the warmth from the palm of his hand, straight to the heart, and then turning into a smile at the corner of his mouth, making him feel the joy of the New Year, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he hadn't had such a comfortable New Year for a long time.

"Father, you haven't said anything about Du Zongting's impeachment of Li Shi! Did Li Shizhi let go of Wu Qingfeng's family? Liu Xingzhi asked.

Liu Xun frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "The specific situation of this matter is not very clear to my father, according to what Du Zongting said, there were a total of 124 people in Wu Qingfeng's family at that time, which is not bad, the list is written in detail and detail, but he said that Li Shizhi bent the law for personal gain and let go of the three people......" Liu Xun shook his head again and again, "This ...... As a father, I am not sure whether it is true or not. ”

"Then how can my father still say that he wants to use this to impeach Li Shizhi?"

"Of course, it's just a donkey! Who do you think Du Zongting is now? ”

"Du Zongting?" Liu Xingzhi was a little disdainful, "This person is capricious, it's nothing, he initially followed Liu Xu, the king of Wei, and when he saw that the general trend of the people had gone, he turned to Liu Yan again, and also denounced his old master, people like him should be cut with a thousand knives." ”

Liu Xun said with a smile: "That's right, but since Du Zongting is now the prince's person, and he impeached Li Shizhi at the beginning, why don't we follow Du Zongting's truth and let people impeach Li Shizhi again." Liu Xun stared at the hand stove viciously as he spoke, as if this hand stove was the hateful Li Shizhi, "Even if you can't use this to bring down Li Shizhi, you have to make him lose trust in front of the emperor, right!" Liu Xun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered Cui Hao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Yang Youxian, the secretary of Dali Temple, and he was very excited when he thought about it, "Okay!" There is one more thing for you to do for my father......" Liu Xun said, and instructed again and again, "Go and do it now, and be sure that they will come to tell me the situation tonight!" ”

At noon, although the sky was still gloomy, fortunately the snow had stopped overnight, but looking at the dark clouds above the house, it seemed that the snow would continue tonight. The rooftops, courtyards, trees and grass are covered with layers of snow. The inner study of the prince's mansion was already full of his henchmen at this time. Originally, a small study room was full of high-ranking officials in gorgeous clothes, and the big ones stood in front of the bookcase, and the small ones had been squeezed to the edge of the door. However, even though the room was crowded with more than 20 people, it was still silent, and everyone looked nervous and full of thoughts, because the prince had never gathered so many henchmen to discuss together like today, did the prince want to take action? All this has to be reminiscent of the news of the death of the old marshal Zhou Zhongwang, this matter has been spread all over the city this morning, is it for this matter at noon? No, after all, Zhou Zhongwang died, although the loss to the prince was great, but it was not a big injury, after all, the prince also had a newly promoted rookie Gao Yun, just when some people thought of Gao Yun, they looked around, but they didn't see Marshal Gao, and someone asked in a whisper, "Why don't you see Marshal Gao?" ”

Although the question was whispered, the whole study heard it, and everyone looked left and right to determine whether Marshal Gao was in the room, and the answer was obvious, "Yes! How not to see Marshal Gao? As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on the person in the middle of the hall, who was Gao Yun's brother Gao Han.

Gao Han looked embarrassed, he didn't advance or retreat, so he had to bow and smile at the people around him, and his voice trembled slightly: "My brother is busy with affairs, so I can't come for a while...... So it's up to ...... I'll ......."

Before he could speak, someone looked out of the door and whispered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down...... Everyone turned to the door to greet the visitor.

"No need to be polite!" Prince Liu Yan's face was as gloomy as today's weather, and then he flicked his robe sleeves and strode into the inner study. Seeing that the prince was in a bad mood, everyone didn't dare to ask directly, so they made way for the prince one after another. Liu Yan lowered his face, walked straight to the bookcase and sat down, snorted fiercely, and then slapped his palm on the desk angrily.

Everyone in the study looked at each other, not daring to answer, and then turned their eyes to Xun Mou, who was also silent. Xun Mou's face sank like water, and he looked like he was out of the matter.

Liu Yan coughed lightly and said with a serious face: "Is Gao Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, here?" ”

Everyone unconsciously looked at Gao Han in the middle of the hall, Gao Han's face was flushed, his expression was nervous, and he hurriedly stood up from the line, knelt down and saluted, "Down...... Official...... At! ”

Liu Yan was even more furious when he saw Gao Han, and pointed at Gao Han with his right hand, his hands trembled with anger, "Okay, you Gao Han...... You two brothers are really carved out of the same mold......"

Faced with Liu Yan's scolding of splitting his head and covering his face, Gao Han was also confused, and defended while knocking his head: "Where is there something wrong with the lower officials, it is still ...... Your Highness, please...... Make it clear! ”

Many people present were also a little confused, only Xun Mou already knew the reason, and looked at the prince with frowns. But seeing that Tai Liu Yan slapped the table, then walked up to Gao Han in three or two steps, pointed to the top of his head and asked, "This palace and ask you, what is your younger brother Gao Yun's attitude?" Why did you say to Bengong that Gao Yun was also from Bengong's side, but when Bengong went to ask, why was your brother's attitude ambiguous? Then he shouted, "Say...... Gao Yun is not Liu Xun's person! ”

Gao Han trembled when he heard this, "This ...... How can it be! Your Highness...... You must be mistaken, Gao Yun is not King Ning's person, he has always supported His Highness! The reason why he hasn't expressed his position is to be wary of the emperor......"

"Say no more!" Liu Yan roared almost hysterically, "This palace just believed in your words at the beginning, and it would help Gao Yun sit on the handsome position......"

"Your Highness!" Gao Han still tried his best to defend, "The reason why Gao Yun has this attitude is also because he wants to ......"

"Shut up......" Liu Yan couldn't stand his performance anymore, the reason why he called everyone today was to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, how could he allow Gao Han to have half a word of defense, so he turned back and beckoned to Xun Mou, "General Xun, you come and tell him what's going on!" ”
