After Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu finished talking, the room was silent for a while, and the generals of the Beijing camp at the same table did not know about this stubble in Yuzhou City, and they were all surprised when they heard this, and they discussed this matter with each other, and there were many words of resentment against the civil officials in their words.

Du Ji's table was silent for a long time, and they must have understood Xuanming's matter clearly, and it was because they knew that this matter was not suitable for entanglement, and whoever provoked this matter would be finished.

During this period, Lan Ziyi has been looking at Zhang Mingyue, on the one hand, he is like a lone wolf coming out of the hole, aiming to suck blood, and on the other hand, he is like a deep spring in Gutan, without the slightest wave.

In fact, Lan Ziyi is at a disadvantage, using such a favorable event as an excuse to suppress Zhang Mingyue by acting angry, Lan Ziyi is still quite far behind Zhang Mingyue now.

It is impossible for the silence to go on forever, and it is impossible for anyone present to endure such an atmosphere, so when the sound of the military general's head to ear disappeared, Lan Ziyi opened his mouth and questioned Zhang Mingyue and said:

"How does Shousuke-sama feel about this?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingyue replied softly:

"What does Wei Hou want me to think?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"The great victory in Yuzhou became a big defeat because of Xie Xuanming, and hundreds of thousands of people were looted by the demon thieves along with the grain and grass people, and trillions of people in Jiangbei and Jiangdong were poisoned by the demon thieves. Shousuke-sama, what should you think? ”

Zhang Mingyue's expression finally changed a little at this time, he didn't speak, and said after taking a long breath with his nose:

"If this is the case, then Xie Xuanming is innocent of death, and it is not a pity to die!"

Zhang Mingyue said this, and everyone at Du Ji's table sighed and hung their heads, this was the usual reaction of the ministers, Lan Ziyi would not be surprised by this, but the light in the eyes of Li Chenghai, who was sitting under the look, attracted Lan Ziyi's attention. Since Li Chenghai entered the house, he has been stuck on the stool like a dead tree, which completely makes people ignore his subordination, but the look in his eyes just now clearly told Lan Ziyi that he has been paying attention to the situation on the table, not only paying attention but also paying close attention.

Lan Ziyi didn't have time to think about Li Chenghai's affairs, his current task was to deal with Zhang Mingyue, what Zhang Mingyue said just now was obviously a concession, but Lan Ziyi would not give up because of Zhang Mingyue's compromise, because Zhang Mingyue was forced to do this helplessly, and as long as he was willing to take a step back, he would definitely be able to take a few more steps back.

Lan Ziyi continued:

"Xie Xuanming's evil deeds are a certainty, his sins are too numerous to mention, so he doesn't have to bother Lord Shoufu to reconfirm it."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingyue looked at Lan Ziyi carefully, although there was still no expression on his face, his gaze became extremely deep, and Lan Ziyi, who was under Zhang Mingyue's gaze, knew the changes in Zhang Mingyue's heart. But Lan Ziyi was not in a hurry, Zhang Mingyue took it, and Zhang Mingyue had to answer it.

Zhang Mingyue said:

"What Wei Hou and I are arguing about is Xie Xuan, I have already said that he is innocent of death, then his matter has already been said."

Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this, and then said:

"Master Zhang is really clever, he wants to wash himself up when he throws a dead man as a shield, so he still throws it away, don't forget to understand that Xuanming is still guilty of exaggeration.

Lord Zhang, what I want to ask is not how he interprets Xuanming, as I said, it is a sure thing, what I want to ask is what the person behind him thinks, that is, you, Lord Zhang, how do you feel. “

As soon as Lan Ziyi's words fell, Du Yi couldn't sit still, and he spoke:

"Wei Hou, what do you mean by that?"

Lan Ziyi stared at Zhang Mingyue and replied without replying:

"That's what you heard."

Du Ji said:

"I don't understand what you mean."

Lan Ziyi said:

"I asked Xie Xuanming what the mastermind behind was clear, right?"

Du Yi wanted to speak when he heard this, but Zhang Mingyue gently raised his hand and put it on the table to stop Du Ji. Zhang Mingyue said:

"Xie Xuanming did whatever he did, he did it alone, and Wei Hou took me out as the mastermind behind it, and he really wanted to add to the crime. What I have in my heart, what I have now, and what I will have in the future is the memory of the soldiers who died on the battlefield, and the compassion for the people who suffered. Zhang, as the first assistant of Taizheng, actually let the demon thief run rampant, which is really a big crime, I don't need to be reminded by Wei Hou, I have always felt guilty in my heart. “

Zhang Mingyue sighed with emotion and took the great sin into his arms, it seemed that he had heaven and earth in his heart, but in fact it was just a general talk, no one could use these excuses that Zhang Mingyue said to attack him, if he could use this excuse to pull Zhang Mingyue into the water, it must be that the emperor wanted to find a scapegoat or change the first assistant, and that kind of situation could not be avoided at all.

Now things don't need to go so far, Lan Ziyi is an understanding person, when he first entered Beijing, he was poured into Zhang Mingyue's ecstasy soup, and now he will not make the same mistake. Hearing this, Lan Ziyi sneered, and then said:

"Why did Shousuke-sama say that? The emperor is sitting in the palace, and even if he says this, it will not be the turn of Lord Shoufu to say it. ”

On the table over there, Du Yi heard this:

"Wei Hou, are you saying that the demon thieves are advancing eastward along the river, and all the sins of erosion in the north and south are on the emperor?"

However, after Du Ji finished speaking, it was not Lan Ziyi who answered him, but Father-in-law Long, and only listened to Father-in-law Long say slowly:

"It is negotiable whether to say or not to say such a thing, whether to issue it or not, but it is not negotiable who will say who will issue it. Zhang Shoufu is loyal to the country, and is willing to share the worries of the emperor, which is worthy of being a pillar of my injection, but just now, Lord Shoufu should leave it to the emperor. ”

The ministers at Du Ji's table couldn't sit still when they heard this, and they all turned their heads to discuss countermeasures, but Zhang Mingyue seemed calm, and he smiled at Gonggong Long and nodded in response.

Gonggong Long's words instantly sealed Du Ji's mouth, and he openly jumped out to stand up for Lan Ziyi. Although Father-in-law Long said that Lan Ziyi was very useful, but Father-in-law Yu was very concerned about this, and he snorted and said sourly:

"When will Grandpa Long be able to speak for the emperor? How did I not know? ”

When Gonggong Long heard this, he owed himself to this father-in-law, and said apologetically:

"When my father-in-law was serving the emperor, I didn't know where it was, and my father-in-law should come forward for the emperor in terms of seniority, but now I am serving the emperor tightly, and I really know what the emperor means, so I just took the lead and said, father-in-law must not blame."

Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu snorted coldly and stopped pursuing this matter, he also knew that he needed to be unanimous with the outside world now, they were all supporting Lan Ziyi, if they fought first, it would be cheaper for others.

At Du Ji's table, when I heard Father-in-law Yu mention the emperor, everyone present was obviously surprised, and the sound of talking to each other became louder.

Zhang Mingyue was as determined as ever in addition to his expressionless face, and he said to the people at Du Qi's table without looking back:

"You are all the leaders of Shilin, important members of the imperial court, what do you look like? It's not a downtown area, so don't be so unruly. ”

Then Zhang Mingyue waited until the people at Du Qi's table closed up, and then said to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou, contemptible and talented, the implementation of a whip tax reform was originally for the sake of the court and the community, but unexpectedly it provoked a civil uprising in the south. It was not my intention to make such a big mistake, but it was my fault.

The saint has clouds, lifts weights like light, and clouds, and chases away cautiously, both of which are not done by contemptible people. In the past few days, I have been paying attention to the front-line battle situation, how much grain and grass is consumed every day, how many soldiers are killed and injured every day, and how many civilians are suffering every day.

The thief rebellion was caused by the tax reform, this time Ming Yue has no escape, whether to change or stop, do I want to beg the bones to return to the hometown by the emperor, Ming Yue has no complaints. “

After saying that, Zhang Mingyue turned his face and looked at Father-in-law Yu and Father-in-law Long, closed his eyes and nodded.

Hearing this, Gonggong Yu didn't speak, he subconsciously looked at Gonggong Long next to him, and Gonggong Long saw Gonggong Yu's eyes and immediately replied to Zhang Mingyue:

"Lord Shoufu is serious, tax reform is a feat for the benefit of the country and the people, and the emperor has told me more than once that no matter what, I must let my lord carry this whip down. The thieves stirred up trouble because people with ulterior motives instigated trouble, and it had nothing to do with adults. Adults don't have to think about returning to their hometowns, and the emperor still has to rely on important people. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingyue opened his eyes and nodded slightly, he turned his face to look at Lan Ziyi again, and asked:

"Wei Hou, satisfied?"
