"Your Majesty, Lord Cheng asks to see you."

Xiao Yechen and Du Yan were in the imperial study, but they heard the guards outside whispering.

After hearing this, Du Yan's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said angrily: "This Lord Cheng, he didn't come to intercede, right?" Cheng Muyang made such a mistake, how could he still have the face to plead? ”

"Yan'er, you still have a higher opinion of these people." Xiao Yechen's face was ugly, he shook his head and said: "Cheng Yuan is extremely arrogant, their Cheng family has been the most powerful family in the Chu State for so many years, and it is precisely because of this that they think very highly of themselves and ignore the royal law, so scum like Cheng Muyang will appear." ”

"In this way, does this Lord Cheng think that you will definitely put Mu Yang on the face of the Cheng family?" After Du Yan heard this, Fang is understanding, she looked at Xiao Yechen with burning eyes and said: "It's a pity, he thought wrong, you are a person who is jealous and hateful!" ”

Xiao Yechen smiled, and then said to the guard, "Let him in." ”

Cheng Yuan stared at the scorching sunlight outside, and finally waited for the messenger from the guards, he hurriedly took a step and walked inside, but saw that there was another person beside the emperor, and he fixed his eyes to see that it was the queen.

After seeing Du Yan, Cheng Yuan didn't know why he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"See the emperor, the queen."

Xiao Yechen nodded slightly, and said at this time: "I don't know why Lord Cheng came?" ”

Cheng Yuan wiped the cold sweat on his head, and then said: "The old minister is looking for the emperor, or for his uncompetitive grandson, he annoyed the queen's mother, and the old minister specially came to find the mother to make amends, and hoped that the mother would be magnanimous and let him go." ”

After Du Yan heard this, she sneered out loud without giving face, she propped her head, looked at Cheng Yuan with a pair of eyes, and said very indifferently: "Lord Cheng, if it is really as you said, then it is okay for the palace to forgive him, and the left and right are wasted to show punishment, but what the prince did is really miserable!" ”

In the end, Du Yan's eyes and tone were sharp, and at this time, she only looked at Cheng Yuan, making Cheng Yuan's face flush but she didn't dare to say anything.

Cheng Yuan's face was drenched in cold sweat, he didn't expect that Du Yan, a woman, could have such momentum, he immediately knelt on the ground and said to Xiao Yechen: "Your Majesty! The old minister has exhausted his hard work for the Chu State, and there is no credit and hard work, and I hope you will leave your grandson alive for the sake of the old minister! ”

"Do you still have the face to beg me?" Xiao Yechen sneered: "Do you know how many people your grandson has harmed? How many families have he broken up by robbing people's daughters over the years? How do you still have the face to say these things? Let me spare his life! But who did he bypass with the power of the Cheng family before, you want me to let him go! First ask those innocent girls who died! ”

Xiao Yechen squeezed a lot of anger at this time, he looked at Cheng Yuan, but saw that Cheng Yuan was still the same as before, he knew that Cheng Yuan had never thought about those who died.

Seeing this, he knew that it was not good

After saying that, he said coldly: "If Lord Cheng came here today just for this matter, then there is no need to say it anymore, I have made up my mind, Cheng Muyang can't be angry if he doesn't kill him!" ”

Cheng Yuan's face turned pale when he heard this, he stumbled back a few steps, if it weren't for his reluctance to show his weak side at this time to be seen as a joke, he would have already fallen to the ground. He staggered for a while, knowing that there was no turning point in this matter, and left in despair.

Du Yan saw Cheng Yuan leaving, his gray hair was especially obvious in the sun, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Cheng Yuan, if it weren't for that large group of people to drag him down, he wouldn't have reached such a point." ”

Cheng Yuan is extremely talented, but the Cheng family does not have many talented people, so the largest family in the former Chu State has lost its former glory in this generation, and only Cheng Yuan supports this family, and in the same way, he has paid more effort.

"The Cheng family is already rotten, and Cheng Yuan can't support the Cheng family on his own, so he can only maintain the family status by relying on the marriage of the daughters in the family." Xiao Yechen can see clearly.

After hearing this, Du Yan nodded in agreement, and the two of them thought of the many women who were hurt by Cheng Muyang, and their faces were a little unpleasant.

The morning of the second day was a dark tide.

Cheng Yuan didn't go to court today, and Xiao Yechen didn't even do his routine greetings, but talked about Cheng Muyang.

"Cheng Muyang acted recklessly in Beijing, doing such a thing as robbing people's daughters, and committed countless cases over the years, some people went to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case, but Fu Yin did not accept the matter, why is this?"

Xiao Yechen's cold words sounded in the main hall, and after hearing this, the imperial historian on the side came out at this time, and also echoed: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the great power of the Cheng family that no one in Beijing dares to take care of such a heinous crime when committing such a heinous crime. ”

Yushi's words were very ruthless, and he didn't give Cheng Yuan affection at all, but now Cheng Yuan was not there, and his words were even sharper: "In Weichen's opinion, Cheng Yuan connived at his clansmen to commit such a disaster in Beijing, and he should also be accused of teaching no way!" ”

At the beginning of the imperial history, some people who were hostile to the Cheng family also stood up at this time, and told the Cheng family's crimes one after another, seeing that Xiao Yechen's face above was getting worse and worse, they were gloating in their hearts, once Cheng Yuan fell, this Cheng family, I am afraid that there will be no more future!

However, it was obvious that Xiao Yechen would not act as they thought, and after they were all finished, he slowly spoke: "What? Now you are all like you have seen it with your own eyes, accusing the Cheng family in resentment, but where have you all been a few years ago? Although I am not used to the behavior of the Cheng family, I am not a puppet to be coaxed by you! ”

As soon as Xiao Yechen's words came out, the people above immediately knelt down, and the ministers who had originally spoken trembled, and they all dared not make a sound like quails.

Seeing the appearance of these ministers, Xiao Yechen was a little lost

Hope, he clenched his hands, he has never had such firmness, the current court, there are many parties, these ministers are basically for the sake of the family, and there has never been a moment to think about the people of Limin, if you want to change the situation, it is to replace all these corpses in the court, only in this way, can the Chu State endure!

Xiao Yechen in the palace did not speak, and after looking at everyone with a pair of eyes, he said lightly: "Cheng Muyang will be beheaded at noon tomorrow at noon, and I hope the ministers will take it as a warning!" ”

After hearing this, everyone responded with sincere fear.
