Dou Kui and the others were like ashes, Sima Lan really changed his words and said to Longtai: "Your Majesty, although the prince committed suicide, there are not a few henchmen who follow the rebellion of King Huainan this time. He glanced at Qian Raoshun, the secretary of the Criminal Department not far away, and said, "The old minister learned that the king of Huainan was trying to rebel, and it was Lord Qian who reported it privately. ”

Qian Raoshun hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, looking a little embarrassed.

Everyone around couldn't help but look at Qian Raoshun, with different expressions, but most of them were disdainful.

Qian Raoshun has been very close to the king of Huainan for many years, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people know that Dou Kui of the household department and Qian Raoshun of the criminal department are the two most important figures in the party of the king of Huainan, today Dou Kui also said two words for the king of Huainan, but Qian Raoshun rebelled against the king of Huainan at a critical time, so a two-faced person is naturally disdained by everyone.

"Qian Raoshun, did you know in advance that King Huainan was plotting rebellion?" Longtai's eyes were sharp, and he stared at Qian Raoshun: "Why don't you pay tribute to me?" ”

Qian Rao Shun fell to the ground, not daring to speak, Sima Lan had already said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is not to blame Lord Qian." King Huainan conspired to frame the old minister with the case of Hu Bowen at the sacrificial ceremony, and even revealed to Lord Qian that he wanted to rebel in the imperial tomb. The old minister also wanted to make it clear to the emperor, but he also thought that the king of Huainan was the uncle of the king of Great Chu, how could he have such a disobedient heart, worried that what Lord Qian said was untrue, and even more worried that he would disturb the emperor because of this, so the old minister did not have a clear understanding, this is the old minister's negligence, and asked the emperor to surrender! ”

Longtai frowned slightly, glanced at Qian Raoshun, and just hummed.

"Although the old minister did not believe that Huainan would rebel, it was a matter of the emperor's safety, so he made some arrangements in advance." Sima Lan said slowly: "If the King of Huainan does not have the intention of rebellion, then Lord Qian's accusation is naturally a false accusation, and the old minister will definitely show the emperor that Lord Qian slandered the King of Huainan and punished him severely." But if the king of Huainan really has the intention of rebellion, the old minister has prepared in advance, and naturally he can also protect the emperor Zhou Zhouquan. He sighed and said, "The old minister never thought that what Lord Qian said would come true, and the king of Huainan .....!" He shook his head with a solemn expression.

Sima Changshen finally said: "Your Majesty, the King of Huainan is plotting to rebel, it is definitely not a one-man plot, there must be many henchmen involved, if you don't cut off the chaotic party, there will be endless troubles." ”

Dou Kui could hear it clearly, and his whole body was like a bucket of cold water pouring from head to toe, and his whole body was cold.

"Sima Changshen, who are you talking about?" Long Tai's expression was cold.

At this time, Qian Raoshun had already knelt down and moved forward, took out a fold from his arms, and presented it with both hands: "Qi Qi Sheng, minister..... When the minister learned that the king of Huainan had the intention of rebellion, he became vigilant, and this excerpt was a list of officials who had a close relationship with the king of Huainan, and many of them must have been involved, as long as they were interrogated according to the list, they could find out the henchmen of the king of Huainan. The minister was coerced by the king of Huainan before, and forced Hu Bowen to write a confession of slandering and framing the old prince, and the crime deserved death. ”

Sima Lan bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Lord Qian can be regarded as a good minister if he can get lost and know his way back." It's just that he finally violated the law of the country, and now he can ask Ying to atone for his crimes, and the old minister also recommended Lord Qian to the emperor to try the case. Mr. Qian did have merit in the name of the crime, and he was the right person to try this case. ”

Many people's hearts were even more cold, secretly thinking that the king of Huainan had just died on the front foot, and this Sima Lan was about to do it on the back foot, and it was really fast.

Everyone knows that since Qian Raoshun rebelled against the King of Huainan and threw himself at the feet of Sima Lan, then if he sets off a big case this time, it will be a bloody and bloody monstrous case, and Qian Raoshun will naturally eradicate those officials who have intersected with the King of Huainan at all costs in order to show his loyalty to Sima Lan.

Yuan Laoshangshu has been following Longtai's side, and naturally knows that once the emperor agrees to Sima Lan's request, the big case will start, and the court situation will be chaotic immediately, so he took two steps forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, there are changes ......in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the situation in the world is undecided. ”

"Yuan Lao Shangshu, my Da Chu is not afraid of the Northern Han Dynasty, but only of civil strife." Sima Changshen immediately interrupted: "Today, the king of Huainan is in turmoil, if he does not eliminate his henchmen, sooner or later there will be drastic changes. ”

At this moment, he saw a person snatched out of the ministers, knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Qiyu Sheng, what Zhongyi Hou said is extremely true, if you can't clear the remnants of the Huainan Wang, those people will have a grudge, and sooner or later there will be a big mess, and the ministers ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation of this case." ”

Everyone knows that the person who came out to speak was Chen Lanting, the servant of the ministry.

Sima Lan is also the secretary of the ministry, this Chen Lanting is the second person in the ministry, and he is also one of Sima Lan's extremely trusted henchmen.

As soon as Chen Lanting came out, Emperor Fuzheng of the Ministry of Industry immediately stepped forward and knelt down: "The minister asks the Holy Majesty to order a thorough investigation of this case!" ”

At one time, more than a dozen courtiers stepped forward, all of them asked for a thorough investigation of the case of Huainan Wang Yudang, and other officials looked at each other, and some people gritted their teeth and also stepped forward to kneel: "The ministers ask for a thorough investigation!" In just a few moments, most of the hundreds of officials fell to their knees.

The corners of Longtai's eyes jumped, but Sima Changshen's face showed an unconcealable look, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, all of you have asked for a thorough investigation of this case, and you can also know that this case is very important. ”

As soon as Sima Changshen's words fell, he suddenly heard loud laughter.

This laughter came very suddenly, and everyone was taken aback, thinking that how could anyone dare to be so presumptuous here at this time, and looked at the sound, but only saw Jinyi Hou Qi Ning looking up and laughing.

Sima Changshen frowned and said coldly: "Jinyihou, I don't know why you're laughing?" ”

Qi Ning stepped forward, glanced at Qian Raoshun, and said lightly: "Zhen Guogong, Qian Raoshun extorted confessions by torture and created unjust cases, although he took the initiative to confess, but he violated the law of the country, should he be tried for this case with a sentence of meritorious service?" Is this a punishment or a reward? ”

In fact, this is exactly what many ministers say in their hearts, but no one dares to say it.

Sima Changshen said coldly: "If it weren't for Lord Qian's timely secret report of King Huainan's rebellious intentions, my father would not have prepared earlier, and he might have been succeeded by King Huainan today." Jin Yihou, although Lord Qian is guilty, it is not without merit, and now Lord Qian has taken the initiative to ask for help, to thoroughly investigate the case and atone for his crimes, is there anything wrong? ”

"Naturally, there is something wrong." Qi Ning's eyes were sharp, and he sneered: "There is merit as a reward, and there is a punishment for deserved." Since Qian Raoshun was able to concoct a confession to frame the old man, who can guarantee that he would not concoct other confessions in the trial of Huainan Wang Yudang? The matter of criminal name is a matter of human life, how can such a major matter be allowed to be undertaken by such a person. ”

Sima Lan turned his head to look at Qi Ning, his expression was gentle, and asked, "But I don't know if there is a more suitable candidate for Jinyi?" ”

"Whether there is a suitable candidate or not, it is not for me to decide, nor for the old man to decide." Qi Ning said lightly: "The emperor is here, so naturally the emperor will appoint him." After a pause, he glanced at Qian Raoshun and said, "And the list that Qian Raoshun took out, what evidence is there to prove that the name on it has something to do with King Huainan?" The King of Huainan is also a courtier of my Great Chu, and when dealing with state affairs, it is inevitable that he will deal with many officials. ”

Dou Kui and other henchmen of the King of Huainan heard Qi Ning's words, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

Chen Lanting had already raised his head and said sharply: "Jinyihou, do you want to intercede for the Huainan Wang Yu Party?" ”

"Chen Lanting, Ben Hou speaks, it's not your turn to interject." Qi Ning's eyes fell on Chen Lanting like a blade: "You said that Benhou interceded for the Huainan Wang Yu Party, what is the reason?" The emperor is here, how can you be charged with crimes? ”

Many ministers secretly admired Qi Ning's courage in their hearts, thinking that the Black Knife Camp was under the sacrificial platform, but Qi Ning still dared to go toe-to-toe with the Sima family here, if he didn't have full courage, it would be difficult to do it.

Chen Lanting opened his mouth slightly, and before he could speak, Qi Ning had already taken two steps forward, pointed at Chen Lanting and said: "If you can't explain the truth today, you will slander Benhou, how can my Jinyi Qi family allow you to slander here arbitrarily?" You tell Ben Hou, which sentence of Ben Hou is interceding for the Huainan Wang Yu Dang? What kind of love are you talking about? ”

Qi Ning's eyes were like knives, his expression was calm, Chen Lanting saw Qi Ning's eyes showing murderous intent, and saw that he was imposing, but he was a little afraid in his heart.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard another sound of horses' hooves, and they couldn't help but be surprised, secretly thinking that it was difficult for the Black Knife Battalion to move, and followed the sound, but saw that the Black Knife Battalion was still motionless like a stone sculpture, but the sound of horses' hooves came from the west.

Sima Changshen raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that another group of cavalry appeared in the distance, with horses' hooves rumbling, and looking at the momentum, there were nearly a thousand people.

At this time, the Black Knife Battalion had quickly turned the horse's head, re-lined up, facing the cavalry, and in the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, the cavalry was getting closer and closer, and under the sun, I saw that the first person was also wearing iron armor, followed by a cavalryman holding a banner high, the flag was unfurled in the sun, Chi Fengdian looked at it condescendingly, and muttered: "Yes...... Blackscale! ”

Under the sun, the banner of the cavalry looked very shabby, but the six scale patterns on the banner remained very intact, and the six patterns were combined to form a complete scale armor.

The commander of the black knife battalion is naturally the heavy pupil general Chu Cangge, between the wave of the sword, the black knife battalion quickly set up the formation, facing the coming horse, Chu Cangge held the sword in his hand, galloped to the front of the team, and nearly a thousand horses on the opposite side swept like the wind, a distance, the first general raised the sword, and the team began to slow down.

Chu Cangge stared at the broken flag fluttering in the air, his expression was solemn, and he said word by word: "Black Scale Battle Flag!" ”
