Yang Zhong's evil deeds have been passed into the ears of Qiu Jie and others, and when he went to the court today, Qiu Jie was angry, and his mouth kept scolding, "I didn't expect that since the saint is so unreasonable, I will see what I say about him!" ”

Yang Sleeve had a worried face, he held Qiu Jie's hand tightly, and reminded him in a quiet voice, "Senior, you can't be reckless, you must know that Taishi He and his daughter ......."

Qiu Jie snorted, his face without a trace of fear, "I know, you are afraid that the Holy Lord will definitely threaten me, but it doesn't matter, because now that my wife has died of illness, and my only son has also died on the battlefield, he can only fill me alone with any anger!" ”

Yang Hong tightened his grip, and he said with great embarrassment: "But senior, you are the general of the Three Dynasties, and you are the pillar of our Great Chu!"

"The saint is so mediocre when he comes to power, if he doesn't persuade him, what kind of pillars are he talking about!" Qiu Jie's dissatisfied face was very unconvinced.

"But ......" Yang Zhong was speechless sadly.

At this time, the eunuch outside the door shouted, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The ministers gathered to kneel and salute, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Yang Zhong's words seemed casual, "Get up, get up!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" After the ministers thanked him, he saw that Yang Zhong was holding his chin with his left hand, and made a gesture to the eunuch with his right hand, "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat!" ”

At this time, Qiu Jie's heart was already full of resentment, and he couldn't wait to stand up, "Emperor Chao, the old man has something important to do." Emperor Chao, the old minister heard that you started a bitter type and even tortured yesterday, and you are still drinking and having fun on the sidelines, the old minister is right! ”

Yang Zhong glanced at his face, without the slightest shame at all, but questioned him, "What's the matter, isn't it?" ”

"Emperor Qi, when the emperor was in power, he often taught you to govern the country with virtue and treat the people with benevolence and righteousness, and what you are doing now is probably worthy of the teachings of the emperor, right?" Qiu Jie was not intimidated by the monarch's anger in the slightest, on the contrary, he said his heartfelt words with confidence.

But in the next second, in exchange for Yang Zhong's cold smile, "People, by the way, I want to ask, they are all prisoners who have committed crimes, can they still be regarded as people?" ”

The anger on Yang Zhong's face increased a little more, but Qiu Jie still didn't give up. "Have you forgotten that the emperor said that in addition to committing heinous crimes, the rest of the prisoners are not allowed to torture them, but looking back at you, thousands of people have died because of your momentary benefits, don't you have a trace of shame?"

Yang Zhong didn't care about his words at all, at this time, he laughed stupidly, "Ashamed, it's ridiculous!" Qiu Jie is now the Son of Heaven, and Shun has his own reason to govern the country, do you still need to take care of it? Yes! ”

"If the emperor of the dynasty does not repent and insists on going his own way, then the king of the former dynasty will be a lesson for you."

Yang Zhong's face was already full of anger, he slapped the dragon chair hard, and stood up excitedly, "Bold Qiujie, you actually gave Shun to the king of the former dynasty, you are so bold!" ”

"Why, wouldn't it?" Qiu Jie asked rhetorically in a loud voice.

At this time, Yang Hong, who was terrible on the side, was worried, he pulled Qiu Jie's back, and hurriedly muttered, "Senior, don't say it!" ”

Yang Zhong's anger was already uncontrollable, at this time, his eyes were full of murderous anger, and he pointed at Qiu Jie angrily, "Qiu Jie, do you think that you are the important minister of the previous emperor, and Shun will not dare to punish you?" “

“

Qiu Jie's eyes widened, and he asked rhetorically, "Of course Weichen knows, but Weichen dares to ask the emperor what is Weichen's crime?" Then he said a lot from the bottom of his heart. Weichen has defended the country for 30 years, and has never had a trace of rebellion, and today Weichen is just persuading the Cambodian emperor to stop doing evil things to make fun of people in the court, and you are not only humble to accept Cambodia, but are furious, dare to ask the emperor how can your behavior be worthy of the emperor's spirit in the sky? Qiu Jie's words became louder and louder, and the intensity was stronger than before.

Speaking of this, there were also many ministers under the court, looking at each other and quietly underestimating, "Yes, how can the emperor be like this!" ”

"You ......" Yang Zhong was suddenly refuted and had nothing to say. He took a few breaths, and then made up an excellent reason, "Okay, I'll explain it to you today." Qiu Jie, now is the Spring and Autumn Period in troubled times, if Shun does not act harshly, how can he stubbornly uphold the imperial power and govern the world? ”

Qiu Jie stepped forward and held his fists in the sky, "The emperor's expectations before his death, don't you listen to the emperor at all?" ”

Yang Zhongzhi snorted, "Qiu Jie's way of governing the country is determined by the king, how can he think that the benevolence of the first emperor is not good for the imperial power, can't he change it?" ”

At this time, Hua Nie stood up, "What the emperor said is very true! And then. He looked at Qiu Jie fiercely, "It is because the emperor was too tolerant that there are people in the court who are self-righteous, regardless of monarchs and ministers, and dare to scold the lawless ministers of the saints, standing on top of this court!" ”

At this time, Yang Zhong turned his anger into joy, and immediately clapped his hands and praised, "Okay, what Hua Aiqing said is good!" Then, Yang Zhong showed his ugly face again, and said coldly to Qiu Jie: "Qiu Jieshun will look at you for the sake of you as the emperor's important minister, and I will circle you this time." But don't you keep saying that you want to defend your home and country? That's good, Shun will fulfill you now, anyway, Li Jianguo has already torn up the friendship agreement, Shun will send you to guard the frontier tomorrow, so that you can protect your family and defend your family, I don't know what General Qiu has to say? ”

Yang Zhong on the side already had a sad face, and he couldn't help but stand up, "General Chaohuangqiu is an important minister of the imperial court, how can he be transferred to the frontier like this, so Weichen implores the emperor to think twice!" “

"Yang Hong, this is Shun's will to General Qiu, it seems that it is not your turn to say more here?"

After some arguments, Qiu Jie had already seen through Yang Zhong's thoughts, and now, he chose to swallow his grievances, and finally knelt on the ground to thank him, "Wechen thank you for the grace of the emperor, Weichen will guard the frontier and live up to the emperor's kindness!" ”

Yang Zhong laughed for a moment, and boasted back, "Qiu Jie, you are really the pillar of my Great Chu, it seems that Shun doesn't want you to go now!" ”

"Doing things for the country is the duty of Weichen!" Qiu Jie still has any fears, and he is still so reasonable.

Yang Zhong laughed coldly, and completely put on a dirty face, "Okay, that's the end of today, you all go back!" With that, he waved his dragon sleeves and strode away with the momentum of a king.

After retiring from the emperor, Yang Hong hurriedly approached Qiu Jie and said sadly: "Senior, I have already told you that the current saint is no longer the previous saint, and it is impossible for her to listen to your words in her heart, but why don't you listen to my advice?"

At this time, Qiu Jie stopped, he looked at Yang Hong with sincere eyes, and then calmly explained, "Master Hong, the old man knows that you are thinking about the old man, but this great Chu world was fought down by the old man who accompanied Shun's father and the saint's grandfather when he was young, and the old man can't accept the saint's indifference!" ”

Yang Zhong was already in great difficulty, "But do you think that if you are holy to him, he will remember your kindness to Da Chu?" He won't, he will only think that you are a threat to his imperial power like Brother Jian. This will only provoke her killing intent towards you even more, how can you not understand it, senior? ”

"Of course the old man understands, but as a son, I can't be ashamed of my father, and as a courtier, I can't be ashamed of the four emperors, so no matter what, I have to do this!"

"But ......" The bitterness in Yang's center was now like a pair of invisible fists hitting him, making him speechless in pain.

Qiu Jie showed joy instead, and now he patted Yang Hong's shoulder and said words of gratitude, "Master Hong, thank you for doing it for me, but you don't need to worry about me, because the old man has never regretted it, on the contrary, the old man has to thank the saint, I have to thank the saint for his anger, so I have to go to the frontier to take care of those suffering soldiers and people, so you don't have to worry about this matter anymore." ”

After Yang Zhong went back, Xie Lingyun saw his unhappy face, so he naturally stepped forward to offer condolences, "What's wrong with you, Emperor Chao, is something happening in the court?" ”

Yang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and said truthfully: "Today, Qiu Jie is very arrogant in the court, not only insulting Shun in public for Shun's fun, but also relying on the power of the emperor to squeeze Shun, I am really impatient."

Xie Lingyun also immediately clenched his mouth, showed anger, and shook his head bitterly, "I didn't expect that the minister who was chosen by the emperor to take care of his life would dare to be so rebellious." ”

"Humph! It's the emperor's too tolerant that will make his kind of courtiers appear in this court! ”

Xie Lingyun grabbed the back of Yang Zhong's hand, and then moved closer to Yang Zhong's body, and smiled, "What the emperor said is right, now it is a troubled time, if the emperor is not ruthless, if he does not want to stubbornly stubborn his imperial power, how can he become a generation of overlords?" ”

Yang Zhonglong's face was overjoyed, he kissed Xie Lingyun's lips excitedly, "Sure enough, Yun'er knows Shun best, Shun Zhen is grateful to be able to meet you so beautiful and able to get into the heart of the woman, come!" Then, Yang Zhong hugged Xie Lingyun tightly in his heart, "Yun'er, after Shun eradicates the so-called remnants of the former dynasty in the court and completely hardens the foundation of Shun, Shun will immediately force He Yueyi to death, let you become Shun's wife justifiably, and make you a pilgrimage, Shun will definitely not let you suffer!" ”

Late at night, Yang Zhong had no choice but to go back to Changmi Palace to sleep with He Yueyi, and after he closed his eyes, he slowly entered a strange dream. In the dream, Yang Zhong saw a man in a dragon robe and a dragon crown slowly driving in the thick fog, Yang Zhong immediately thundered, "You are so daring, you dare to wear a dragon robe, and someone will arrest this rebel." ”

But the guards beside him just knelt on the ground timidly, without the slightest movement. This made Yang Zhong angry, and it wasn't until the man walked in front of Yang Zhong's eyes that he was frightened to the ground!
