Sleepless nights.

The Hall of Light, above the court.

Before Liuchuan Feng could speak, he was really impeached by He Fang and others.

"Your Majesty, Lord Feng had already caught the enemy last night, but in the end he let the enemy go in a few words, it seems that he and the enemy leader still know each other, and there are ...... talking and laughing" Mi Zhu came out and recounted the events of last night again with added fuel and vinegar.

Rukawa Yu, who looked grief-stricken, also came, but he didn't come out to explain anything to Rukawa Kaede, after all, he wanted to kill all those guys on the spot, but in the end he was let go by Rukawa Kaede, he didn't remember his kindness to save himself, but he was angry that he didn't come in time, and he resented him in his heart.

"Your Majesty, your nephew also has a play!" So he stood up and sued him!

"Nephew Yu, I know about you, Nephew Yan was unfortunately killed by a traitor last night, I am also very sad, there are two days left to be the birthday of the Queen Mother, who would have thought that such a thing would happen first! It's heart-wrenching, I'll give your father an explanation later, after all, people were killed here by me. ”

Of course, Liuchuan Xinghe knew the bad news early on, and was so angry that Long Yan was furious, and immediately ordered the whole city to search for the murderer, but after a night, the people had already arrived in a safe place, and there was naturally no good news in the search, but it made the people of the capital uneasy, and as soon as the city gate was closed, more people who came and went to do business and came to work complained......

"Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is not this, this matter is not about the emperor's uncle, I want to sue Jinyiwei! And their leaders Han Jian and Rukawa Kaede! ”

"Oh? What did they do wrong? ”

"They colluded with the murderer and assassinated our brother together, and then Rukawa Kaede came with more than a thousand people and surrounded the scene, and the murderer has become our bag, but in the end, he ordered them to be released! And he also talked and laughed with the enemy leader, it seems to be an old acquaintance, and I hope that His Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly! ”

Rukawa Yu directly targeted Rukawa Kaede, mainly because of the night matter, and of course, partly because he wanted to get rid of the obstacles to his future ascension, after all, Rukawa Kaede was not an ordinary prince.

"Yes, I also heard about this, I'm afraid it's a little strange, but Lord Rukawa Kaede sent a large number of people to search in Chang'an Center afterwards, I don't know if there is any result?" Of course, He Fang would not miss such a good opportunity, and beating the water dog was his specialty.

As a result, above the court, most of the ministers began to launch an impeachment attack on Liuchuan Feng, some even directly said that he wanted to assassinate the prince, and some said that he even had a tendency to rebel, because he was good at advocating and wanted to ban Chang'an City, and there were a large number of brocade guards under him, and the momentum was violent......

In short, there are all kinds of theories, except for Liu Jing and a few ministers who did not express their positions, it is almost the opposite of Liuchuan Feng, and listening to all kinds of voices, Liuchuan Xinghe's face is getting worse and worse, he is the emperor after all, the actual ruler of the empire, and the supreme master of this empire! He has the ability to judge people's fate, life and death! Of course, he will not tolerate those who have bad intentions!

Looking at everyone's various ugly faces, as well as the look like a winner, although Rukawa Kaede was very sad and angry in his heart, he was not a hairy boy, and he knew that his next explanation was an important moment to decide his fate, but he must not be careless, his face was expressionless, as if he ignored the people around him, strode to the center of the hall, saluted respectfully, and began the performance he had prepared for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this is the specific details of last night's experience, please take a look, all the adults said one-sided words, not to be believed, they were not at the scene, they were all hearsay, and they arbitrarily convicted the ministers and nephews of many major crimes, the ministers are really speechless, and I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

Presenting a letter that had been written for a long time with both hands and being taken away by the emperor's personal eunuch, it was impossible for Rukawa Kaede to say in his heart that he was not nervous or nervous, but he still did not show any timidity.

"Read."

Liuchuan Xinghe's brain was still a little dizzy, partly because the strength of last night's wine had not completely passed, and more because he was not in the mood, the eunuch took two steps forward, came to a position closer to the center of the hall, began to open the sealed letter, and read the letter clearly and word for word.

The process is very real, and it is quite similar to what Mi Zhu said, but the critical moment is very different, and he gets rid of suspicion, but there are still people who embarrass him again on some key issues.

Liuchuan Yun, who came to participate in the court meeting, came out and said: "Although I am very willing to believe Brother Feng, I still have a question, why did you delay coming, Shuiyuexuan is located in the bustling central area, until Brother Yu and they almost arrived again, there must be some misunderstanding in this." ”

The words were very polite and reasonable, but through the words, Rukawa Kaede heard the cold killing intent in it, and he explained: "This is not a problem, I didn't know it at the time, but after hearing the news, I immediately summoned the nearest two teams to dare to go to the scene, and I was talking to Lord Yu in the Jinyiwei office at the time, which he can testify." ”

Yuhuatai is usually busy with official affairs and does not need to participate in court politics, so there is no need to go to the court, of course, this time is no exception, but his reputation is very guaranteed, at least, the emperor trusts him very much, so there is no more difficulty in speaking this way.

Seeing that he breathed a sigh of relief, but before Rukawa Kaede could recover from his recovery, Rukawa Yun continued to smile and asked, "It's not that I don't believe you, but everyone wants to hear what you have to do with that assassin leader, who is he, and why did you let him go?" ”

Liuchuan Miao Shizi on the side looked at this gentle and elegant brother on weekdays, and felt a deep fear in his heart, he is killing people without seeing blood, but he must be on guard in the future, after all, the three most powerful and famous Wang Shizi are the three of them, and they are also the people who are most likely to win that position, so this is the real motive for the two of them to show their fangs - to get rid of Ruchuan Feng!

Liuchuan Feng listened to these questions and did not panic, he did not explain these in detail in the song, he was also afraid that it would not be clear on the paper, and it would be easy for people to catch the faults in the words, he explained again: "It's okay to tell you, he is Murong Feng!" A prince of the Northern Regions who was defeated by me at the beginning, he was strong, ruthless, and a ruthless character, and I only recognized him after hearing his voice. ”

"Sure enough, it's an old acquaintance, haha." He Fang interjected and laughed.

"As for why I let him go, this question has been explained in the compromise, since you still want to hear it again, then I will say it again, they have an internal response, they have captured one of our people as a hostage, and they want to coerce us to open up a way for them, there is no way, human life is at stake, and it is under our heavy surrounding, and it is in Chang'an City, which is guarded by a large number of brocade guards and forbidden troops! I thought I could arrest them again, but unfortunately, they disappeared, this must be because their internal response is too strong, he must have a big power in the court, which made them avoid our search! But I believe that as long as they are still in the capital, I will catch them sooner or later! ”

Rukawa Kaede didn't suppress his annoyance, and explained again, saying it with great confidence, and also said that this civil and military official did not dare to be similar positively, after all, who should be inside? Of course, it's one of their ministers in the capital!

Of course, there were many ministers who began to reprimand him, more than He Fang.

"Humph! If you don't catch someone, forget it, he's still a lie, he's a native of the Northern Regions, how did he come into our capital? How can there be a minister secretly communicating with him? By saying this, you are shirking your responsibilities and hurting the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in slander! ”

"That's it, don't talk nonsense without evidence, I also said that you deliberately let them go, after all, it's just a civilian, she dies when she dies, how can you exchange her for that group of murderers, what's more, they are still the princes of the Northern Regions, and when the assassins kill them, they will be killed, forgive them The Northern Regions Alliance has nothing to say!" Taibao was so angry that he scolded loudly, and even his beard and eyebrows stood up.

"Hmph, Lord Taibao, are you talking about human words? If you were to change that hostage to your wife or daughter, would you make the same choice as me? Rukawa Kaede was not afraid of him, and immediately asked rhetorically.

"But she's not, she's not your person, she's just a lowly Hongchen woman!"

"Lord Taibao, is there anything about you that is superior to ordinary people? Your life and that of your family are your life, but the life of others is not? ”

"How can that compare?"

"Why not?"

Rukawa Kaede retorted loudly, his momentum was very strong, and his loud voice echoed in the huge hall, which lasted for a long time, and also shocked the ministers, and he continued, "I have heard that the holy monarch treats the people of the world as his own children, and does not treat them differently because of their poverty and wealth; A wise monarch will know that there is a country in the world, and that a country is made up of countless families, and they are all the basis of the empire, and that the income of the empire is not obtained from their taxes. When it comes to contributions, their contributions are much greater than those of the Taibao. ”

"Humph!"

Hu Yanzhuo snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction, but he said that he was not a sharp-toothed young man, so he kept silent.

"But this is not right, using her sacrifice alone in exchange for the lives of more than a dozen big masters, this account is not a loss!" Rukawa Rain said.

"Water can carry boats and overturn boats, the people are the foundation of the empire, if we let them completely chill their hearts, it will not be good, besides, we are now in 631 AD, after thousands of years of development and evolution, we have already been a civilized country, a country with magnanimity, a great country, if there is still a three, six, nine and so on, then what is the difference between the foolish kingdom of thousands of years of slavery? Your Majesty is naturally a wise and martial master, and he is also a prince who loves the people like a son and has great mercy, I think that even His Majesty would have made the same choice in my situation at that time. ”

These words were full of anger and passion, and they also dissipated a lot of anger from the angry Liuchuan Xinghe, and he was very happy, and he nodded silently, indicating that he was right.

"What about letting them go? If you can catch them once, can't you catch them again? Don't I even have the courage to do so? It is cowardly behavior to capture an innocent citizen at the cost of their sacrifice! Rukawa Kaede then added.

"But after all, he is the prince of the Northern Regions, and now killing him will never cause trouble, besides, he is the murderer of my brother and your cousin!" Rukawa Rain said.

"You don't know this, he is not only the prince of the Northern Regions, but also the most outstanding existence among the princes of the Northern Regions, who can order the Northern Regions Alliance to launch an army of 100,000 troops to the south without authorization, if he dies, the Northern Regions will definitely not give up, at that time, a big war is indispensable, and today, our national strength is not enough to support a war with the big powers, what we have to do now is to stabilize the situation." Rukawa Kaede replied.

At this time, Liu Jing spoke, and he said: "What Feng Shizi said is reasonable, at present, our empire is indeed difficult, this is a wise move, war, fighting is silver and two property." ”

As the secretary of the military department, he certainly has the right to speak in this regard, and Liuchuan Xinghe, as a founding emperor, also won the world on horseback, of course, he will not understand this truth, so he nodded again and expressed his approval, although this is a bit embarrassing, but it is a fact.

What a sharp-toothed junior, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military force was said by him alone, it seems that he wants me to play, Li Dongsheng watched a big drama with cold eyes, and finally decided to make a move.

"Feng Shizi, then tell me, as a senior leader of the Jinyi Guard, you made the prince of a neighboring country cross the border and even came to our capital to assassinate our people, is this your fault?"

"Master Li is right, this is my dereliction of duty, I have nothing to say." This should be held accountable, not just him, but the entire Jinyi Guard, the Criminal Department, the Chang'an County Guard, and all the guards.
