A few days later, when he went to the court, Gonggong Wei took a few steps forward, and his shrill voice echoed: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from."

Recently, the situation has been stable, and there is no major event, and under normal circumstances, the last dynasty is just a process, originally thought that this time the situation in the upper dynasty was the same as other times, who knew that this time, something different happened.

Honglu Temple Qing Xiao came out of the queue and took a few steps forward: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."

"Oh......" The saint said meaningfully, glanced at King Sheng who was standing below, and waved his big hand: "I don't know what Lord Xiao has to say?"

"Your Majesty, the minister believes that the New Year is celebrated by the whole world. The three princes of the barbarians, Mandu Latu and Princess Tata of the Huns, have been in Dayi for almost a year, so it is better to let them go back to visit relatives and friends, and then return to the capital in the next year, so that Dayi can also appear friendly. ”

Xiao Zhuo, the Qing of Honglu Temple, is also an old minister, and he must first be inside the outside, and the origin of his name is the same, but this kind of proton is mentioned for the first time in history.

The saint raised his eyebrows with interest, and laughed softly: "I didn't expect Lord Xiao to have such a heart, I really underestimated it before."

felt that the meaning of this sentence was a little wrong, but Xiao Zheng had already said it, so naturally he couldn't take it back, so he could only bite the bullet, and among the hundred officials, the person who originally planned to come out and say something lowered his head silently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, but for Your Majesty's sanctity."

"Shengming?" King Sheng smiled inexplicably, with full sarcasm: "Then if according to Lord Xiao, His Majesty didn't let them go back, then it was not holy enough?"

Xiao Zhuo's face changed, and he quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no such intention, His Royal Highness King Sheng, the old minister is absolutely loyal and dedicated to Dayi."

The official who was just about to go out to echo was looked at by King Sheng's eyes, and quickly retracted his steps and his heart that was about to move, and if he wanted to get ahead, he also wanted to see if he had a life, at this time, it was definitely not the most suitable.

King Sheng sorted out the cuffs without a trace of wrinkles, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Xiao indifferently: "Your Majesty doesn't mean to blame Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao doesn't have to be so honest."

As soon as these words came out, the eye contact between the hundred officials was never broken, and if you want to say that this Xiao Zhuo was in the position back then, it was also magical.

But at that time, in the troubled times, when the first emperor's throne was replaced, no one noticed the position of Honglu Temple, and when everyone thought of it, it was already him.

Over the years, it has been fruitless to say that even the most representative thing of welcoming the envoys has been done by the king himself, which has become more and more ineffective.

Moreover, Xiao Zhuo is already old, if he doesn't cause anything, it will be okay to return to his hometown in peace and stability, but he suddenly appeared at this time, isn't this clearly trying to block His Majesty?

The saint received King Sheng's signal, and after coughing lightly, he motioned to Xiao to get up: "Lord Xiao doesn't have to be polite, just get up, this matter is very important, and we will make a decision after discussion."

With a sigh of relief, Xiao Zhen got up: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank Your Royal Highness King Sheng."

King Sheng looked at him quietly, and a smile appeared in his eyes, which made people more and more panicked.

"You're welcome, but the suggestion made by Lord Xiao is indeed very constructive. As we all know, Mandu Ratu is the third prince of the barbarian tribe and the only son of the Khan and the Yan clan, so after letting him go back, how can you guarantee that it will be him who comes to Dayi again? ”

This problem is fatal with one blow.

As long as the tiger is released back to the mountain, it is not known whether it can be this crucial tiger that can be caught again.

The sweat on Xiao Zhuo's forehead trembled, and it was very obvious: "Dayi's request for the Xiongnu and barbarians to send protons is itself a symbol of the status of the main country, as long as it is the prince and the princess, the meaning is the same."

This is what makes people want to punch them.

The originally quiet Yanguan was lively when he landed: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Sheng, the minister thinks that Lord Xiao's words are inappropriate, and the distinction between the concubines and the concubines is clearly the regulations that Dayi has always stated, and it is clearly written in the succession of titles and the division of family property, this proton has a different origin, and the meaning it represents is naturally different."

"The minister seconded the proposal, if the proton is just a symbol, the meaning is enough, the barbarians will send a prince casually, and Dayi will have to eat and drink well, and in the end, if you don't agree, you will start fighting."

……

The originally quiet pilgrimage was like a drop of water dripping into hot oil, boiling endlessly.

The saint who was a little sleepy was in good spirits, and looked at the injured side of the group below, and after a while, he felt that he was a little hungry, so he waved his hand, and Gonggong Wei stopped this farce in time.

"Everyone Aiqing be quiet, don't get excited, this matter is not something that can be solved in a few words, besides, this kind of thing is also unprecedented, I need to go through careful discussion before I can determine whether I agree in the end."

After summarizing in a few words, the saint announced his retreat from the dynasty, the old rules, and Prime Minister Sheng and others stayed.

In the imperial study, after everyone was seated, the tea and snacks were all together, and then the discussion began.

The prime minister touched his well-maintained beard, and his face was a little ugly.

"Xiao Zhuo has always been relatively low-key, in the past, Honglu Temple could not be in a state of being valued for some reasons, but now the Dayi border is stable, the four seas are leveled, and the role of Honglu Temple has only come out, so I didn't expect that he would have such an idea."

In the end, they worked together in the DPRK and China, even if the prime minister and Xiao Zhuo were just nodding friends, they knew a little, but now it seems that he was clumsy before.

King Sheng peeled the melon seeds, very leisurely: "As we all know, once the proton is sent out, unless there are special circumstances, the others will not be returned, and we have not blamed the barbarians for deceiving the superiors and subordinates before, Lord Xiao dared to make such a request, so for the sake of others, it is really touching."

It's no longer a question of whether you're moved or not, if you go up a little more, what's the difference between it and treason.

Zhan Ge pondered: "Your Majesty, in this way, does Lord Xiao also have something to do with the barbarian retreat back then?" Even if it has nothing to do with this matter, it must have something to do with the barbarians. ”

Otherwise, for no reason, who would want to go on this trip to troubled waters.

"What Brother Zhan said is reasonable, Xiao Zhuo must have some handle in the hands of the barbarians, Mandu Latu and Princess Tart, and it is more likely that it is Mandu Latu."

"Then send someone to investigate, and after finding out, it will be easy to deal with."

A few days later, just when everyone thought that the saint had forgotten about this matter, Xiao Zhuo, the Qing of Honglu Temple, implored to step down from his official post on the grounds that he was old and had returned to his hometown.

In order to show his sincerity, he also voluntarily contributed half of his family property to contribute to the enrichment of the national treasury.

The saint kept it again and again, but Xiao Zhuo had made up his mind and refused again and again, so after three times and twice, the saint finally agreed to his decision.

As for the position of Honglu Temple, after careful consideration, it was assumed by Mu Yan, the Taizhouqing of Honglu Temple, although Mu Yan was only in his early thirties, but he was knowledgeable, calm, and thoughtful, and he was indeed a suitable candidate.

When Xiao Zheng walked out of the Jinluan Palace, he suddenly felt that he had lived again.

The scene of the night before yesterday resurfaced in front of him, as soon as he entered the study, he noticed that there was someone in the study, and when he was about to call someone, the candle was lit, and the figure of the king side by side slowly walked out from the shadows, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and he had elegance for no reason.

"Lord Xiao, this king is here, there is something important to discuss, if you still want to keep your wife and children alive, think carefully."

Xiao Zhuo's hand was about to open the door, and his face suddenly fell, and the whole person was a few years older, and he almost moved behind the desk, waiting until he sat down.

The king of the ink-colored brocade robe sat down opposite him slowly, turning the folding fan in his hand that didn't seem to exist in this season, which was extremely graceful.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness the King of the Side by side got married late at night, and it was not welcome."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, if I came during the day, Lord Xiao should be afraid, right?" Under the light of the candlelight, Zhan Ge's eyes were so deep that people couldn't look at them directly, and they were a little more evil for no reason.

Xiao Zheng's face stiffened, and he slowly stretched: "I beg the king to give me a word."

"I've already checked your deal with the barbarians, now it's just a matter of making sure, if this is true, you should know what the consequences will be? Without the background of King Tang, I'm really curious, how will Lord Xiao get out of this predicament? ”

What Zhan Ge found was indeed right, Xiao Zhuo, who was still the left temple of Honglu Temple, participated in the affairs of the barbarians through King Tang, although it was very hidden, but Ah Yu and Tang Yi beside King Tang were in his hands, so he could naturally ask after reminding him.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhan Ge's voice fell, Xiao Zheng's face turned gray, his expression was depressed, and he didn't admit himself.

“…… How did His Majesty decide? ”

"This matter has passed for so many years, and it is not interesting to pursue it again, thinking that Lord Xiao has been an official for so many years, and there is only one thing that has been wrong, Your Majesty agrees, as long as you sue the old man and return to his hometown, and at the same time hand over half of the family property to the treasury, you will be exempted from your crime and your last honor will be preserved."

Of course, this is also well thought out, although Xiao Zheng has been in power for many years is very mediocre, but there is nothing wrong with it, it is worth it.

Late season is not guaranteed, and sometimes it is a fatal blow.

Xiao Zhen's face relaxed slightly, and he got up and thanked solemnly: "Thank you, Your Highness, the old minister obeyed the order."

When Xiao Zhuo looked up again, there was no one in the room, if it weren't for the sound of the open window being blown against the wall by the wind, I am afraid that he would not have reacted.

At this point, Xiao Zheng of Honglu Temple has become a thing of the past, and a team of carriages left from the original Honglu Temple Qing Mansion and went back to the place where he first came.
