When everything was done in Jiuhuang, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, it was already the early morning of the next day when he returned to Xufu again.

Entering the Jiuhuang Courtyard, seeing that several little maids who had been waiting for her for the night were sitting outside the Jiuhuang Courtyard and falling asleep, a trace of warmth flashed in Jiuhuang's heart.

Although she rarely lives in Xu Mansion, she has spent most of the past ten years living on Yunmeng Mountain with her master Yunmeng Zhenren, and Jiuhuang does not have much emotion for these maids who are waiting for her in Xu Mansion.

But today, seeing them sleeping outside the Jiuhuang Courtyard in order to wait for her despite the cold dew of the night, a feeling called warmth hit Jiuhuang's heart.

I remember a long, long time ago, when she was still the young lady of the Marquis Mansion in Jingzhou, her father was still there, her mother was still there, her eldest brother was still there, and everyone was still there, she often felt such warmth.

At that time, everyone in the Hou Mansion was used to her, it was her most beautiful time, the best memory in her heart; But a war turned everything she had into a dream, shattered into ashes.

Ten years later, after seeing the sleeping faces of the maids, the feeling that had been with her dreams for ten years began to come back.

Just when Jiuhuang sighed in his heart, the maid who was sleeping outside Jiuhuang's courtyard woke up at this time.

Opening his misty eyes and looking at the nine phoenixes in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed on the faces of the maids, and then he said excitedly: "Miss, you are back, where have you been this night?" ”

Looking at the worry on the faces of the maids and the worry in their words, Jiuhuang did not answer their words, but just said to the maids: "You go to the house to rest for a while, it's still early." ”

After listening to Jiuhuang's words, the maids couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, how did the young lady who never cared about them before become so easy to talk to today? Is she caring about the two of her in those words?

Although Jiuhuang said so, the two little maids who were slaves didn't dare to do what Jiuhuang said, they knew their identity.

Seeing that the two little maids looked a little cramped and uneasy because of their words, Jiuhuang glanced at it lightly and said, "Give me a big thank you for coming over and I'll freshen up." ”

Jiuhuang said to the two stunned maids as he walked towards the courtyard of Jiuhuang.

After freshening up, Jiuhuang, after ordering the two maids to go down, lay down on the bed and rested for a while.

In the court, this is the first time that the important ministers of the court have started a fierce battle in the court after recovering the lost land of Jingzhou and taking Batu.

Taishi Yang Jin and the courtiers who also belonged to his side jointly played Zhao Yun, demanding that the matter of Xu Yang's greed for ink be ended as soon as possible.

"Please play if you have something to do!" Zhang Jian, the master of the Chinese book in the three provinces, walked out of the rank and came to the middle of the main hall, facing Zhao Yundao.

Zhao Yun glanced at Zhang Jian and said, "What is the matter with Zhang Aiqing?" ”

When Zhang Jian heard Zhao Yun's words, he secretly glanced at Yang Taishi, who was standing in front of Wenchen, and then said: "The minister played the impeachment of Lord Xu Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, for embezzling ink. ”

"Xu Yang, as the Lord of the Ministry of Rites, and the minister of the court and the central government of my Heavenly Dynasty, knows the law and violates the law, engages in bribery, and embezzles disaster funds, according to the laws of our Heavenly Dynasty, he should cut off his official position as a punishment."

Zhang Jian said his invitation, and after his words, before Zhao Yun could speak, all the important ministers of the court who had been advised by Yang Taishi had already stepped out of their ranks, including civil and military officials, all of whom were in the middle of the Celestial Empire.

They seconded Zhang Jian's words and asked for the impeachment of Xu Yang for embezzlement of ink, hoping that Zhao Yun could make a decision as soon as possible.

Looking at more than a dozen important ministers under him, who were usually reluctant to stand up and discuss anything in advance, but they were quite dedicated to Xu Yang's matter, a trace of unknown light flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes.

"Then according to what Aiqing said, how should Xu Yang's matter be resolved?"

Zhang Jian heard Zhao Yun's words, and said righteously: "The ministers implore the emperor to dismiss Xu Yang from his official position and exile him." ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

After Zhang Jian's words fell, dozens of courtiers who knelt in the center of the hall with him followed Zhang Jian's words.

On the other side, Mei Nong, who served as the dean of the Hanlin Academy, came out of the rank and said, "Your Majesty, please play!" ”

Zhao Yun looked at Mei Lane, who suddenly walked out of the ranks, and Zhao Yun said, "Mei Aiqing, what is the matter?" ”

Mei Lane heard Zhao Yun's words, and then looked at the impeachment of Xu Yang by dozens of courtiers kneeling aside, and said before he spoke: "Your Majesty, please order the emperor to thoroughly investigate Lord Xu's matter." ”

"The three generations of the Xu family have been loyal to the country and have never done anything unfavorable to the Celestial Empire; Lord Xu Yang Xu has been honest since he was an official, and when the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were flooded, he handed over his belongings to disaster relief. ”

Zhang Jian heard Mei Rong's words, looked at Mei Rong with dissatisfaction, and then cast his eyes on Yang Jin's body, under the guidance of Yang Jin's eyes, Zhang Jian spoke again: "Lord Mei's words are different, how can Xu Yang's actions be washed away by the words of the adults."

When Mei Lane heard Zhang Jian's words, he turned his head and glanced at the person who had been following behind Taishi Yang Jin, Yang Taishi's ability to cover the sky with one hand in the court, Mei Lane knew, but although he was the dean of the Hanlin Academy, he couldn't do anything with Yang Jin, who was one step higher than him, and even more, Emperor Zhao Yun believed in Yang Jin's words, which also made Mei Rong helpless.

Knowing that Zhang Jian is Yang Jin's person, but thinking that Xu Yang, who is a rare good official who is too difficult to serve, if he is slandered and loses his official position like this, Mei Rong feels that it is really a pity.

"Lord Zhang said this, you can't rely on one-sided words, why did Lord Zhang rely on his one-sided words to ask the emperor to dismiss Lord Xu's official position?"

"You... You..."Zhang Jian was unable to refute Mei Rong's words, so he could only blush and look at Mei Rong angrily, and he could only say one word you for a long time.

Ignoring Zhang Jian's angry glare, Mei Rong snorted coldly from his nose.

And at this time, Yang Jin, who was standing aside and watching his good show being stirred up by Mei Rong, finally spoke up and said: "Lord Mei seems to have forgotten one thing, Lord Xu's greed for ink is ironclad evidence, this is the evidence that was transmitted back to Beijing from the Jiangnan Governor, so does Lord Mei still think that Xu Yang's greed for ink was framed?" ”

The warning in Yang Jin's words was very obvious, but Mei Rong didn't seem to hear it, or he had already heard it, but he just deliberately pretended not to hear it.

"Despite this, the minister also thinks that the emperor should make a decision after sending someone to investigate and make sure that Lord Xu's greed for ink is not framed, so that there will be no wronging of good ministers."

Who knows, after Mei Lane said these words, Yang Jin took a top! The great sin of questioning the monarch was buckled on Mei Rong's head.

Just listened to Yang Jin's words in Mei Lane, and without waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, he preemptively said: "Lord Mei, is this questioning the emperor's mediocrity?" ”

Zhao Yun felt unhappy that you were preempted by Yang Jin, but at this time, he heard Yang Jin talk about his mediocrity, and immediately said to Mei Lang, who questioned him: "Mei Rong, you are so bold!" ”

As soon as Mei Lane heard Yang Jin's words, she knew that Yang Jin wanted to kill herself.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Jin's words were spoken, Mei Lang heard Zhao Yun's angry words coming from the front.

Mei Lang was so frightened that she could only keep kowtowing and pleading guilty in the dots, explaining that she didn't mean that.

Yuan Quan stood behind the three dukes, he was the emperor's master, and assisted the two emperors of the Celestial Dynasty in his life, although Zhao Yun has been mediocre and listened to the words of traitorous ministers, but he still has great respect for his own teacher, so Yuan Quan's words play a pivotal role in the court.

He saw all the things that happened in the court today, and just when Emperor Zhao Yun wanted to open his mouth to punish Mei Rong, Yuan Quan, who rarely participated in the affairs of the court, spoke.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lord Mei's words are very reasonable. After Xu Yang and Lord Xu were greedy for ink, if Xu Yang was really greedy for ink, it would not be too late for the emperor to dismiss him and investigate him; If Xu Yang was framed for greedy ink, and the emperor released Xu Yang after the investigation, he would not be talked about that the emperor listened to slander and killed loyal ministers by mistake, and the emperor's behavior will go down in history. ”

Yuan Quan's last sentence was very serious, and it was also this sentence that Zombie Mei Lane and Xu Yang were saved from the hands of Taishi Yang Jin and temporarily saved their lives.

Zhao Yun listened to what Yuan Quan said, and his mind stayed on Yuan Quan's last sentence.

Yuan Quan's words were telling him that if he listened to Zhang Jian and the courtiers' requests like this and made a decision on Xu Yang's affairs, then if it was found out later that Xu Yang was framed for embezzlement, then the imperial history that had been staring at him would be heavily written in the history books that he had killed loyal ministers by mistake.

What's more, since the Xu family became officials, as three generations of courtiers, they have been dedicated and loyal to the Celestial Empire, Zhao Yun also trusts Xu Yang very much, and he also has a little bit of disbelief in his heart that Xu Yang will do something greedy for ink, but when Yang Jin put the evidence of Xu Yang's talk in front of his eyes, Zhao Yun still had to believe the facts.

But now that he heard Yuan Quan's words, Zhao Yun's heart began to shake, could it be that Xu Yang's greed for ink was really slandered? But what is the evidence in his own hands?

As an emperor, his only wish in life is that he will not leave a little ink in the history books, even if he is a mediocre Zhao Yun, this is true in his heart. I don't want to be able to leave my name in history, at least I won't be turned into a faint monarch by the imperial history.

"Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhou Xiong listens to the order, I order you to find out the truth of Xu Yang's greed for ink within three days!"

Zhou Xiong, who was among the courtiers, heard the emperor's will and went out to respond.

Therefore, in the end, after some thinking about Zhao Yun, he finally ordered someone to thoroughly investigate Xu Yang's embezzlement of ink.

Zhao Yun's approach made the courtiers who were unhappy for Xu Yang breathe a sigh of relief, but they were very unhappy in Yang Jin's party, who wanted Xu Yang to die.
