Chapter 165: Interrogation

"Wechen has seen the emperor."

Yan Shixun and Xia Lin greeted Emperor Li Yuan of Zhou, and then stood up. Yan Shixun glanced at the emperor quietly and did not speak.

Li Yuan glanced at the closed doors and windows, then fell on Yan Shixun, and said, "Are people still locked inside?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the people are still inside, nothing happened during this time, but Cui Yan was alone in a daze." Yan Shixun hurriedly said.

Li Yuan groaned, and then said, "You are all waiting outside, and I will go in and see this figure who claims to be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yuan pushed the door and walked into the house.

The sunlight shone in suddenly, stabbing Cui Yan, who was sitting on the ground, in the eyes, and squinted towards the door. Seeing that it was the emperor coming in, Cui Yan slowly got up and knelt on the ground, and said expressionlessly: "Wechen has seen the emperor." ”

Seeing Cui Yan's appearance, Li Yuan couldn't help but snort coldly: "Cui Yan, Cui Yan, do you still have the face to call yourself Weichen?" ”

Cui Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Yuan speak like this, and then looked at Li Yuan and bowed again: "The grass people have seen the emperor!" ”

Seeing that Cui Yan had changed his title to a grass people, Li Yuan was immediately furious: "Cui Yan, don't be so perfunctory!" I told you that I didn't kill you ten years ago because you were loyal to Da Zhou, and now that you're like this, do you really think I can't kill you!? ”

The roar came from inside the house, and Yan Shixun outside was suddenly startled, this emperor was going to kill Cui Yan, and he was just about to say something, but Yan Shixun was pulled by Xia Lindao, seeing Xia Lindao shaking his head at him, Yan Shixun couldn't help but be stunned and stopped his steps.

Inside the house, Li Yuan took a few breaths of air, looked at Cui Yan fiercely, and said coldly: "Cui Yan, I ask you, does the Xue family's rebellion have anything to do with you?" ”

"Your Majesty, you have already made a decision in your heart, why are you still asking Weichen." Cui Yan said lightly.

"I want to hear from you!" Li Yuan said with a cold face.

"Then Weichen said, this matter has nothing to do with Weichen, and Weichen doesn't know the news that the Xue family is going to make trouble." Cui Yan said lightly.

"You don't know? I don't know how the questions of the Ministry of Rites exam leaked out? Li Yuan said with a sneer.

"The Ministry of Rites exam paper leaked!?" Cui Yan was taken aback, why didn't he know about this?

Seeing Cui Yan's face change, Li Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, he could still see the panic in Cui Yan's eyes, but this thing was obviously done by him, why is it like this now? Could it be another reason?

"You don't know about this?" Looking at Cui Yan, Li Yuan asked.

"Your Majesty, this matter can't be true, before the test paper is sent out of the Ministry of Rites, the ministers and subordinate officials will personally click it, and there is no problem with the quantity and authenticity before it can be out of the Ministry of Rites, how could this thing be leaked in advance?" Cui Yan's face was incredible.

"So you didn't do it? Are you kidding me! Could it be that the test papers in Nanyang City are stamped with fake big seals? "Li Yuan is angry, he is like this when he dies, and he can't be a fool when I die.

Cui Yan got up and knelt on the ground, slammed his head on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the king let the ministers die, and the ministers have to die." But Weichen can't die with this stain on his body, and Weichen asks that after the Xue family is escorted to Beijing, the minister and Xue Yong confront each other. ”

Li Yuan looked at Cui Yan and suddenly smiled, and said mockingly: "Are you so sure that I can win the Xue family?" That Xue Yong is holding the mountains and rivers in his hands, counting my ten crimes, and calling for this person to rebel all over the world is now king in Nanyang. ”

"Your Majesty, this is just a farce after all, the Xue family will not win, and Xue Yong will not die." Cui Yan ignored Li Yuan's ridicule and said lightly.

"Why are you so confident?" Li Yuan looked at Cui Yan with interest and asked.

"Weichen knows the Xue family too well, a group of people who are still living in a dream, they haven't woken up yet, thinking that they can achieve great things, and any person in the court can destroy him, not to mention that Nanyang is still the Duke of Yasukuni." Cui Yan said.

"I remember that you and the Yasukuni Mansion have never been on good terms, why are you still boasting about it now?" Li Yuan said with a smile.

"It's just a personal grudge, and it's not a deep hatred, the ministers are still clearly divided into family and country affairs."

Li Yuan looked at Cui Yan in front of him, and after a long while, he showed a smile, looked at Cui Yan and said: "I will let you die clearly, if it is really you who did it, or the Xue family framed it, if it is true, you will not escape death, if it is fake, I will apologize personally." ”

After speaking, Li Yuan got up and walked out of the house. Glancing at Gonggong Huang, Li Yuan instructed: "Take care of him, don't be wronged, I want him to eat and drink well before the Xue family enters Beijing." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Gonggong hurriedly bowed down and answered.

Li Yuan nodded, then his eyes fell on Xia Lindao and Yan Shixun, and said: "You two have recently sorted out the people involved in the case in Beijing, and then detained the people in the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division. ”

Yan Shixun and Xia Lindao were heartbroken, and hurriedly responded: "Weichen understands that the emperor pays attention to his body. ”

"You're worried I'm getting angry? Thinking too much, what the Yasukuni letter said is good, just swatt the flies to death, thinking too much is purely asking for trouble, I am now waiting for the good news that the Yasukuni Gong sent back from Nanyang. Li Yuan said with a smile.

On his side, he has been in contact with Yasukuni Gong Lin Yuan through the Zhenfu Division, until the Nanyang incident, Li Yuan even knew that there was an elite army hidden by Lin Yuan in Ruyang, and turned into a bandit to secretly clear the Xue family's ambush in Ruyang.

Starting to prepare so early, Li Yuan was confident that everything was under his control, and with Lin Yuan in Yuzhou, no one would be able to mess up. Li Yuan still has this self-confidence.

Yan Shixun and Xia Lindao saw the emperor's confident appearance, and couldn't help but glance at each other, how did this Yasukuni Duke plan to deal with the Xue family, and actually gave the emperor such great confidence.

Although this Xue family is not as good as the Golden Horde, but in the end it is deeply rooted in Yuzhou, and now this Xue Yong is surrounded in the city, but it does not mean that there are no dissenting intentions in other places, as long as the Yasukuni Gong loses the last game, this Yuzhou will definitely be in chaos, and it will be too late to do anything at that time.

Seeing that the two of them were still a little worried, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Don't believe what I said? This Yuzhou battle report will enter Beijing in a few days, even if the Yasukuni Gong does not capture Nanyang, there will be good news coming, and Yuzhou will only have Nanyang to make a mess, are you credible? ”

"Your Majesty, the hearts of the people in Yuzhou are difficult to stabilize, and the ministers are still a little worried that the Duke of Yasukuni is too young and has not grasped the hearts of the people, if this is the case, Yuzhou will definitely be in chaos." Xia Lindao said after hesitating for a moment.

"That's what Weichen means." Yan Shixun chimed in.

"Then let's see what means the Yasukuni Gong has." Li Yuan said with a smile, and then his gaze fell in the direction of Nanyang.
