Just when Xue Ze was a little distracted, Qin Cheng walked up, smiled at Xue Ze, and then said to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, the ministers are sparse: Prime Minister Xue Ze secretly communicated with the Huns, and together with the lord of Huainan Mausoleum Weng and others, he disturbed the government and harmed the country!" ”

"Qin Cheng, you don't want to spew blood!" At that time, under the multiple blows, Xue Ze could no longer maintain the demeanor of a scholar, pointed at Qin Cheng and shouted angrily: "Evidence is needed to speak, blood spews people need to pay a price, and slandering important ministers will be punished by the law of the Han Dynasty!" ”

After saying that, Xue Zecai felt that the words he said in a hurry were extremely similar to what Qin Cheng had said before, and he was even more annoyed at the moment, and turned to Liu Cheyu to report: "Your Majesty, General Zuo is a personal vendetta of the communiqué, please check it out!" ”

Liu Che finally moved, sat more upright, and said to Qin Cheng: "Does General Zuo have evidence?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is naturally evidence for what the minister said!" Qin Cheng arched his hand and said solemnly, "But everything pays attention to the first come, first come, and first ask the court lieutenant to interrogate the previous case, and then it is not too late for the minister to hand over the evidence!" ”

"Accurate!" Liu Che didn't talk nonsense, and said neatly.

"Your Majesty......" Xue Ze was terrified.

"Prime Minister!" Zhang Tang's voice was a little more powerful and tough than before, which made Xue Ze's heart shocked again, only to hear Zhang Tang continue: "Now please ask the prime minister to listen in the lobby!" ”

"......" Xue Ze knew that the general trend was irreversible, so he could only drag his slightly trembling body out of his original seat, stand in the lobby, and salute Liu Che, Zhang Tang and Wei Qing in turn, "Xue Ze asked. ”

Zhang Tang nodded and said to Qin Cheng: "Please sit next to General Zuo!" ”

"There is labor." Qin Cheng thanked him, and then went to the place where Xue Ze was sitting before, and sat down calmly.

With Qin Cheng's movements, even though Xue Ze had already lived a Jiazi, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils. Things in the world are like this, when things don't concern you, no matter how big the matter is, you can stay calm, but when you get into the game, especially when you are in a predicament, you find that it is not so simple to stay indifferent.

A moment ago, Qin Cheng was still being interrogated by Xue Ze in the center of the hall, and in the blink of an eye, it was easy to attack and defend, Qin Cheng has now become the one who controls the fate of others, but Xue Ze has a faint tendency to be imprisoned.

This sudden huge gap fell on Xue Ze, no one could imagine Xue Ze's mood at this time, the prime minister of a country, was humiliated by such a "naked-naked", he did not faint on the spot, and his psychological quality was already excellent.

At this time, Liu Che's face gradually became awe-inspiring. If Liu Che was still calm when he interrogated Qin Cheng before, then now, when the object of interrogation became Xue Ze, Liu Che could no longer remain calm.

Perhaps at this time, everyone will understand the real reason why Liu Che came to the Imperial Governor's Office today to "observe": it is definitely not just to support Qincheng! I'm afraid the most important thing is to interrogate Xue Ze at this moment!

rashly interrogating the prime minister of a country, if there is no emperor in charge, who can say that it can be carried out smoothly?

In addition, many people are wondering what is the intention of the Imperial Commander's Office to interrogate Xue Ze so eagerly?

"Prime Minister Xue Ze, in the past year, first sent a killer to assassinate the left general Qin Cheng, but if it didn't work, he conspired with Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan who lived in Chang'an, to frame the left general Qin Cheng and the Xiongnu to seek the country!" Zhang Tang's face was full of iron-faced selflessness, and at this time, his tone was also rhythmically sonorous, truly showing the demeanor of a famous cool official of the Han Dynasty, "Ben Tingwei asked the prime minister, can you confess?" ”

"Don't admit it!" After Xue Ze saw today's situation clearly, he knew that it was impossible for him to retreat with his whole body, although he couldn't come up with a countermeasure in time at this time, but it was not difficult to do it without panic, his mood gradually calmed down, and he tried to make his tone look sad and angry:

"As the prime minister of a country, how could he do such a thing as keeping dead soldiers in captivity? He will not murder General Zuo, who is an official of the same dynasty! Although there are some disagreements between Ben Xiang and General Zuo's political opinions, it is also for the sake of the Han Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, and Ben Xiang will never do such a rebellious thing as assassinating his colleagues! ”

"Okay, since the prime minister doesn't admit it, then Ben Tingwei will ask you, on the seventh day of the first month of November in the sixth year of Yuanguang, a fire broke out in the north of Chang'an City, and the fire burned down many houses. Not only that, but the government even found some damaged armor soldiers in the courtyard of the center of the fire. I wonder if the prime minister still remembers this? Zhang Tang then asked sharply.

"Self-...... Naturally remember. Just hearing that Zhang Tang told that fact, Xue Ze was already sweating, because he knew better than anyone what happened that night, which made the mental defense line that Xue Ze had worked so hard to build instantly collapse, "The occurrence of such a thing in Chang'an is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the prime minister, and the prime minister was ..... at that time."

"Prime Minister!" Zhang Tang interrupted Xue Ze's explanation, his voice became violent, he leaned forward, stared at Xue Ze and asked, "Prime Minister, do you remember, who did you send to trap General Zuo at that time?" ”

"Tingwei, the original appearance is not ......"

"That's right! The prime minister and nobles have forgotten a lot of things, so naturally they may have forgotten about this matter, so it doesn't matter, Ben Tingwei will help you remember this matter! Zhang Tang said coldly, saying that he spread out a book on the desk, but he didn't look at the contents of it, but forced Xue Ze to look at it and said:

"On October 24 of the fifth year of Yuanguang, Ling Gongzi was inadvertently injured by General Zuo Qin Cheng in Chang'an Piaoxiang Building, and in that incident, Ling Gongzi also knew that a woman named Xiao Er had some friendship with General Zuo. When General Zuo arrived in Chang'an in the sixth year of Yuanguang, the prime minister coerced this Xiao'er girl to seduce General Zuo, and at the same time ambushed a large number of dead killers, wanting to assassinate General Zuo in the north of the city! Prime Minister, Ben Tingwei is not wrong, right? ”

Xue Ze was already shocked that "the flowers were discolored", because what Xue Ze said was completely true, but only Liu Ling participated in the planning! But at this time, Xue Ze obviously wouldn't admit it, "Tingwei, do you have any evidence?!" If not, you're naked-naked! ”

Xue Ze himself couldn't believe such a ridiculous thing afterwards, but he was subjected to Liu Ling's "gentle offensive" and brainwashing at that time, and he was "confused" and accepted it.

Zhang Tang sneered, "Of course there is evidence. As he spoke, he waved his hand and instructed the officials below: "Take Xiao Er-Lady Xiao!" ”

"What?!" When Xue Ze heard this, his head roared, and his body almost couldn't support it and went limp.

When Xue Ze watched Lady Xiao walk into the lobby in disbelief, he kept asking himself in his heart: "Hasn't this person already been buried in the fire?" How is it possible to be alive? How can it be? ”

The person who came was Lady Xiao who was invited back to Chang'an City by Guo Xixi and Guo Dongdong from Wucheng, and when she saw Lady Xiao, Qin Cheng nodded at her slightly, and Lady Xiao also glanced at Qin Cheng. In the brief collision of the eyes of the two, many things had already been exchanged, including the content mentioned in Qin Cheng's letter to Lady Xiao.

"Lady Xiao, meet Your Majesty!" Lady Xiao first saluted Liu Che.

"No courtesy." Liu Che said, looking directly at Lady Xiao, "Later, you have to tell the truth what you know, and you must not lie at all!" ”

"The folk girl understands!" Seeing Liu Che at such a close distance, Lady Xiao was still a little scared.

"Lady Xiao, you will state the events at that time in front of everyone, and you can't let go of a single detail!" Zhang Tang said.

"No!" Lady Xiao said respectfully.

"Your Majesty!" Before Lady Xiao could speak, Xue Ze had already lost her voice and shouted at Liu Che: "This woman is a woman in the market, she works hard to make a living, and she doesn't know how many laws she has violated on weekdays, and I don't know how many lives she has killed!" Such people have no integrity at all, and their words are not credible! Please Your Majesty blast this person out to punish the crime, and don't let her talk nonsense here! ”

"Prime Minister!" Liu Che snorted, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Minister...... Minister......"

"Then let her speak!" Liu Che waved his hand and stuffed the rest of Xue Ze's words back into his stomach.

"Lady Xiao, why don't you come quickly?" Zhang Tang reminded.

"No." Lady Xiao answered, and then told everything about the time.

......

It was only at this time that Xue Ze finally understood that Liu Che probably already knew something in advance, and now he was going to rectify him!

However, Xue Ze was still puzzled, how could Liu Che dare to do whatever he wanted?

Let Qin Cheng of the main battle faction not say anything innocent, and even more so that the representatives of the main and faction themselves will be completely suppressed, isn't Liu Che afraid of those warriors making trouble?

Xue Ze glanced at Liu Che with a pale face, but saw that Liu Che sitting at the top looked calm and relaxed, and in that calm and leisurely, there was also a strong self-confidence - that was a kind of confidence in controlling everything!

Xue Ze was confused. When faced with the situation in front of him, he was confused.

A day ago, Weiyang Palace.

Ji Di met Liu Che face to face.

"What does the old doctor mean that you now support the war with the Xiongnu and the new law?" Liu Che still couldn't help but be surprised after listening to Ji Di's explanation, and there was some surprise in the surprise at the same time.

"Yes, that's exactly what the minister meant." Ji Di said.

Of course, Liu Che knew how far-reaching the impact of Ji Di's change of stance would be, he took a deep breath and asked, "Can you tell me what made the old doctor change his stance?" ”

"Before, the old minister was stupid, he didn't know the benefits of fighting with the Xiongnu in the world, he didn't know the benefits of the new law being implemented on the people, and he didn't understand the will of His Majesty's heart and the concept of His Majesty's governance." Ji Di said in a calm tone, "Over the years, the old minister has seen His Majesty's great ambition and determination, and finally understood that the old minister had thought of everything before, but he only forgot that His Majesty was a rare and eloquent monarch in ancient times. ”

"Your Majesty governs the country, has Your Majesty's ideas, and can unswervingly implement these ideas, even if there are thousands of difficulties, it is impossible to shake Your Majesty's ambition and determination! Now, the old minister finally understands - His Majesty is no longer the young man who needed the supervision and teaching of the old minister many years ago, and now His Majesty is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the monarch of thousands of people in the world, and the monarch who will make the Han prosperous for a hundred years! ”

"As a courtier, the old minister should assist His Majesty and help His Majesty display his ambitions, instead of imposing his own political opinions on His Majesty!"
