Xu Yang's death caused an uproar in the court.

When Zhao Xuan rushed to the palace, there were already several ministers of the court and the central government in Zhao Yun's imperial study to ask for this matter.

"Your Majesty, although Xu Shangshu committed suicide in fear of crime in the prison of Dali Temple, he was also dutiful and loyal to my Celestial Empire before his death, and I hope that the emperor can remember Xu Shangshu's past, and don't implicate the Xu Mansion, not to mention that the lord of Jiuhuang County has also made great contributions to my Celestial Empire."

This is Chang Qing, a scholar in front of the palace, interceding for Xu Yang and the entire Xu Mansion.

Zhao Yun heard Chang Qing's words, looked at the courtiers in the cabinet in front of him, and asked, "You are also the same as Chang Qing's thoughts, thinking that I have changed my pardon to the Xu Mansion and pardon the Nine Phoenix?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yun's question, the other three ministers lowered their heads and looked at each other, guessing their respective decisions, and even more so guessing the decisions in Zhao Yun's words; Whether Zhao Yun was tempting a few people or really asking them when he said this, they didn't know in their hearts.

Seeing that several ministers did not speak, and Zhao Yun did not speak, there was silence in the imperial study.

After a long silence, just as Zhao Yun was about to speak, a noisy voice came in from outside the door.

Zhao Xuan learned that Zhao Yun was now discussing matters with several cabinet ministers in the imperial study, and looked for him all the way, but was stopped by the eunuch outside the door.

"The third prince, the emperor is discussing court affairs with several ministers inside, and I hope that the third prince will wait here for a while."

Zhao Xuan glanced at the eunuch who stopped him from speaking, then skipped the eunuch, tore his own voice, and said, "Father, the son asks to see his father." ”

Zhao Yun heard that it was his third son, and after thinking about it, Zhao Yun said, "Come in." ”

With Zhao Yun's consent, the eunuch who had stopped Zhao Xuan just now flattered Zhao Xuan to open the door of the palace for Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan, who walked into the imperial study with his feet raised, nodded to several cabinet ministers who were waiting inside, and then saluted Zhao Yun who was sitting on the dragon seat of the imperial study: "The son has seen his father. ”

Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Xuan, he had never taken anything to heart, and Zhao Xuan, who had never come to the imperial study so early, actually arrived early today, which made Zhao Yun feel a little surprised in his heart.

Thinking that Zhao Xuan had been on the throne of the main hall before, it was not difficult for Zhao Yun to guess the reason why Zhao Xuan came so early today, so he asked, "Why did you come to the imperial study today?" ”

Although it was a questioning word, after Zhao Xuan heard Zhao Yun's words, he still knew in his heart that his father, who was a little mediocre, was not mediocre at all now, and after glancing at the ministers beside him, Zhao Xuan knew that Zhao Yun must have known the reason why he came to the imperial study.

Zhao Xuan looked directly at Zhao Yun and said: "Father, Xu Yang's suicide in the prison of Dali Temple is like Ali's father has already known, and his son implores his father to be open to Xu's house." ”

Sure enough, Zhao Yun listened to Zhao Xuan's words, he really came to intercede for the Xu Mansion. At that time, Zhao Yun was also very puzzled in his heart, his third son, who was quite low-key in the Celestial Empire before, didn't care about the court affairs at all, although Zhao Xuan is still like this now, but at least now he has begun to go to the early dynasty.

didn't interact with the courtiers, didn't go to the early dynasty, and even he almost forgot about Zhao Xuan's existence, so why did Zhao Xuan care so much about the affairs of the Xu Mansion? Or is it that his third son has already been secretly in close contact with the ministers of the court?

Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Xuan's body with a tentative gaze, hoping to send a message from him. But in the end, he still withdrew his gaze in disappointment, because Zhao Xuan was not afraid of Zhao Yun's scrutiny at all.

For Zhao Yun's temptation, how could Zhao Xuan not know, thinking in his heart that it seems that his own and this father is still as suspicious as usual.

"Tell me first, why do you always plead for the Xu Mansion three times or twice?"

Since he couldn't guess and saw that Zhao Xuan's behavior was different, Zhao Yun decided to ask Zhao Xuan's approach himself.

I didn't expect Zhao Yun to ask myself in front of several cabinet ministers in the imperial study, Zhao Xuan came back to his senses after the initial shock, sorted out his emotions, and said: "Father, the son believes that Xu Yang Xu's loyalty and thrift over the years is not something that can be pretended, not to mention that this time Xu Yang's greed for ink has always been full of suspicions, and now although Xu Yang committed suicide in the prison of Dali Temple in fear of crime, the son thinks that his father should read that the Xu Mansion should be loyal to the Celestial Empire in the past, and can forgive the Xu family." ”

Listening to Zhao Xuan's words, Zhao Yun's mind couldn't help but think of the words that Yun Mengzhen, who was the heir of the Heavenly Machine, came to the palace and said to him a few months ago, before the Celestial Empire recovered Jingzhou and took Batu.

Zhao Xuan is the destined person of the Celestial Empire, and being able to lead the Celestial Empire to a height that he cannot reach is something he would never dare to imagine in his life.

Originally, he was only suspicious of Yunmeng Zhenren's words, and then gambled to make Zhao Xuan the chief general to recover Jingzhou; What shocked him was that after a few months, Zhao Xuan really succeeded in recovering the lost territory of Jingzhou, and also took Batu, and involved all of Batu's territory into the territory of the Dao Heavenly Empire, which made Zhao Yun shocked at the same time, but also began to believe in Yunmeng Zhenren's words, maybe his third son can really lead the Celestial Empire to a higher place.

Just as Zhao Yun was still recalling Yun Mengzhen's words, several cabinet ministers standing on the side of the imperial study heard Zhao Xuan's words, and they echoed one after another: "Your Majesty, what the third prince said is not wrong, and I hope that the third prince can forgive the people of the Xu family and not let this matter implicate the innocent people of the Xu family." ”

The words of several ministers pulled Zhao Yun back to reality, Zhao Yun glanced at the people in front of him, including his prince and his important ministers, all talking for the people of the Xu family, Zhao Yun lowered his head, I don't know what to do in Snow.

After a long silence, Zhao Yun sighed, that's it, Xu Yang is dead, then he will follow the proposal of the ministers and let go of the people in the Xu Mansion.

It's just that before Zhao Yun's words could be spoken, another voice sounded outside the door of the imperial study.

"Minister, Yang Jin asks to see the emperor."

Hearing the sound outside the door, everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but be a little worried, Taishi Yang came in; In the court, regarding Xu Yang's greed for ink, these people who believe that Xu Yang supports Xu Yang know that Taishi Yang Jin seems to be hostile to this Xu Yang.

When Zhao Yun heard Yang Jin's words, he rubbed his slightly aching forehead with his hand with a worried face, and then said to the door: "Come in." ”

Zhao Yun's words fell, and then only the sound of opening the door was heard, and Yang Jin, who was dressed in a Taishi court uniform, walked in; After seeing the few people standing in the imperial study, he was slightly stunned and recovered his nature, walked to Zhao Yun's approach and saluted, and said, "Minister Yang Jin to see the emperor." ”

Zhao Yun stopped at Yang Jin after saluting him and said, "Yang Aiqing also came to see me because of Xu Yang's matter?" ”

When Yang Jin heard Zhao Yun's words, he guessed in his heart that the few people standing next to him must have also come to see Zhao Yun because of Xu Yang's incident. The third prince Yang Jin knows that he has been standing on Xu Yang's side, and now he appears in the imperial study, is it still impossible to overturn the case for Xu Yang?

He glanced at Zhao Xuan with a little doubt, and skipped Zhao Xuan suspiciously, his eyes swept over the bodies of several cabinet ministers, and then he bowed his head to Zhao Yun and said: "The emperor is wise, and the minister is indeed here to see the emperor because of the suicide case of Lord Xu Yang Xu in Dali Temple. “

After Yang Jin's words were finished, Zhao Yun immediately said loudly: "You are also interceding for him and letting me pardon the people of the Xu family?" ”

Yang Jin was stunned, Zhao Yun's words were the fact that several people around him had come to intercede for the Xu Mansion.

Yang Jin shook his head and said to Zhao Yun: "No, Your Majesty, the minister did not come to intercede for the Xu family. ”

After Yang Jin finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Zhao Yun who was sitting on the dragon chair, and then said: "After the investigation of the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu Xu Yang Xu because of the greed for ink, the emperor ordered the autumn to be exiled, and the people who did not pursue the Xu Mansion were already the emperor's mercy, but Miss Xu Jiuhuang was dissatisfied with the emperor's will, broke into the palace without permission, broke into the Jinluan Palace to participate in the affairs of the court, and wanted to wash away the grievances for Xu Yang, and Xu Yang committed suicide in the prison after learning about it. ”

"Master Yang, the Xu family can be said to have been loyal to the Celestial Empire for several generations, not to mention whether the matter of Lord Xu Yang's greed for ink is true, just rely on the loyalty of the Xu family, the lord of Jiuhuang County has made great contributions to my Celestial Empire, and the emperor should also be merciful to pardon the people of the Xu family, this matter should not be punished by the family and the nine clans."

A cabinet minister said after hearing Yang Jin's words.

After Yang Jinzi heard the words of this cabinet minister, he couldn't help but fight back and sarcastically said: "Have you forgotten that as a citizen of the Celestial Empire, it is your duty to be loyal to the country?" If the emperor pardoned the people of the Xu family because of Xu Yang's incident and did not investigate the fault of the Xu Mansion, wouldn't this Celestial Empire be chaotic, and everyone would learn from Xu Yang, so how could the emperor manage the vast country of the Celestial Empire? ”

Yang Jin's sharp words made several cabinet ministers bow down, and after Yang Jin's words, several ministers couldn't say a word that could refute Yang Jin in an instant.

And at this time, Zhao Xuan, who had been standing aside and did not speak since Yang Jin came in, finally spoke after Yang Jin's words: "The Xu family has been loyal for several generations, and the lord of Jiuhuang County has made great contributions to my Heavenly Dynasty, if it is because of Xu Yang's greed for ink, he committed suicide in the prison of Dali Temple and wants to harm his family, wouldn't this chill those who are loyal to my Heavenly Empire, and what Taishi Yang did like this is to make his father and emperor cold the hearts of the people in the world?" ”

If Yang Jin's words are sharp, then Zhao Xuan's words make people dare not fight back when they have something to say, no matter how they fight back, it will be wrong.

Looking at the arguments of the people below, Zhao Yun's brain was hurt by the quarrel, and he slapped his hand on the dragon table in front of him angrily, and then said, "Calm me down." ”
