In the palace, Emperor Zhengming sat in front of the imperial case.

Elder Xu Ge had been kneeling in the center of the hall for most of the hour.

Over the years, the days of pampering have made Xu Gelao's knees faintly unable to hold on.

He didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to speak, so he could only wait for the emperor to speak.

It was only when the last book of the fold in front of the imperial case was placed in the box on the left side that the dull atmosphere eased slightly.

"Are you guilty?" Emperor Zhengming took the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and said in a rambling voice.

Xu Ge honestly knelt on the ground and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

With a "snap", the teacup cracked on the ground not far above his head, and some smashed on him.

Cold sweat couldn't help but run down his forehead.

For more than 20 years on the throne, Emperor Zhengming has always shown himself as a gentle image, even if the Huo family's White Emperor Valley was wiped out in a battle, he was not angry.

But today, he really flares up his anger.

As the teacup smashed down, Xu Ge's originally confused heart settled down.

If the emperor didn't say a word today, but just reprimanded him a few words without pain, then he would have to worry about his head.

When the news of the defeat of the Huo family came, the emperor just lifted his eyelids, saying that he knew, and then asked the cabinet to discuss who to transfer to the White Emperor Valley to fight a turnaround.

Sure enough, when Huo Shiniang returned with the ashes of the Huo family, the Huo family had no good end.

Although it was not ordered by the emperor himself, but the clouds in the court are surging, what things can really be hidden from the emperor?

Xu Ge's old five bodies fell to the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and waited until the emperor said graciously,

"You are indeed guilty, if something like that happened that day, and you made it clear to me in private, would I blame you?"

"But you have to hide it! What is it called? It's cheap and good. ”

"My prince, can you afford a year's loss of youth?"

Xu Ge Lao just raised his head and fell down again, "The minister is stupid, and the minister deserves death." ”

"Hmph." The emperor snorted coldly, "Even if you know the opportunity, you didn't marry your daughter in, otherwise it will be even more embarrassing than today when it comes out." ”

"If it weren't for the little prince of Zhenbei, I would be a blind man who was fooled by his courtiers, you go down, during this time, you will be in the mansion to cultivate well."

"Your home is also a mess, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world. Wait until you have cleaned up the things at home, and then talk about the errands. ”

"In addition, although your daughter was abducted, she is also an innocent girl, you can really be ruthless!"

"Now, now that I know that she is alive and my people, I can't ignore her! Since she was accepted as a goddaughter by the Xu family of Zhenbei Wangfu, then I will give her the title of township king. ”

When Elder Xu Ge heard this, he was immediately shocked, "Your Majesty, you can't do it!" Although she was too ruthless at the beginning, over the years, she has been Xu Dingtai's outer room, which is also too unbearable. ”

"How can you deserve the title of the countryman, and I implore Your Majesty to withdraw your will."

Emperor Zhengming let out an 'oh' with a smile and said, "Aiqing is because Ling Yuan really can't deserve it, or is it because I did this to refute your face, and you feel that you have no face to stop me." ”

"She is a girl's family, her biological parents don't want her anymore, she didn't fall into the land of fireworks, it's already a blessing, Xu Dingtai is extremely evil, that is also Xu Dingtai's doing, what does it have to do with your daughter?"

"Or are you already able to interfere with my will?"

Xu Ge's heart froze, he thought that when the emperor threw the teacup, he was already angry, but he was still waiting for him here.

How do things at home be considered clean? When he returns to the court, what day will it be?

He gritted his back molars, hating the nosy Xu Han and Xiao Wei in his heart.

Isn't it good to do a good job? I want to take care of the Xu family's housework.

It wasn't until night that Xu Ge got down from the sedan chair with his sore legs and entered the gate of Xu's mansion.

Thinking that he was a cabinet chief, although he was kneeling in the main hall, several groups of people came and went to talk to the emperor, and they looked at him with strange eyes when they passed by.

It's a life-long disgrace!

He will definitely repay the two people of Zhenbei Little Prince and Chengen Gongzi!

……

The Great Dharma Meeting of Bao'en Temple did not stop because of the farce of the Xu family.

Xu Han, Xu and Xu Xilian achieved their goal, and they did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in Bao'en Temple for one night, and waited until the afternoon of the second day to take a carriage down the mountain and return to the city.

Just arrived at the gate of the city, Xu Han felt that the atmosphere in the city was a little different through the car curtain.

She lifted the corner of the curtain and saw the people looking at their carriages and pointing.

The carriage has the logo of the Zhenbei Palace, although it does not take the iconic carriage of the palace, but it is more recognizable than the ordinary people's carriages.

"Lord Wang, there is something unusual in the city today, be careful." Wei Ting's voice came from outside.

Xu Han thought for a while and said, "Don't go up from the street, turn around from the chestnut alley." ”

Although some people pointed at the beginning along the way, they were still very calm, and when they were about to reach Wangfu Street, Xu Han's face was gloomy, why?

Because there were many people blocked outside the palace, saying some unclean words in their mouths, the voices of the people were boiling, and at a rough glance, there were about two or three hundred people.

Some of them wore scholars' mansions, and it seemed that they were seeking justice for Xu Ge.

It's just that another part of the people are wearing ordinary people's clothes, waving their hands, and their faces are excited.

This made Xu Han a little incomprehensible, and the scholar crusaded for Xu Ge Lao, which was reasonable.

Are these ordinary people also interceding for Xu Gelao?

There was chaos in front of the palace, and the voices of questioning came one after another.

"Unscrupulous prince, return the husband."

"Even if Mr. Xu teaches his daughter a lesson, what's wrong? The body is subject to the parents, and the life of the family is given by the parents, so what do you have to say if you want to take it back? ”

"Men and women don't kiss, the girl of the Xu family was abducted, Mr. did the right thing, he should kill his relatives in righteousness!"

"Unscrupulous prince!"

"Gentleman!"

"Damn it!"

"Tear down the palace...... Demolished...... Demolished ......"

"How can such a person who has no moral right and wrong be a prince?"

Those who gathered in front of the palace were emotional, and their tones were indignant, one after another, and in the end there was only one sentence left,

"Xu Ge is not wrong! The little prince of Zhenbei framed Zhongliang and should be executed! ”

"The Xu family has no way to teach the children, and it is sinister to take in the girls of the Xu family."

When Xu Han heard this, his face was very bad.

She looked at Xu and said bad things about her, she just laughed it off, but she said that her mother Xu's bad things made her unhappy.

The water at the entrance of the palace was blocked, and Xu Han said to Wei Ting, "Exit and enter the palace through the corner gate." ”

Xu Xilian bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault that brought you into the situation you are in today." ”

Xu Han looked outside, such a scene had been thought of as early as when she decided to face Xu Gelao.

Why did those people in sackcloth come, she really didn't know, wouldn't these people also thank Xu Ge Lao and seek justice for him.

"Sister don't worry, these people are coming to make trouble, it has nothing to do with my sister, I have a way to deal with them."

"As long as my sister doesn't regret blocking the way back to Xu's house."

Xu Xilian smiled mockingly, "If I can, I don't want to have the surname 'Xu' in front of my name, but from today onwards, I will have the surname of my godmother." ”

"I used to think that I was the proud daughter of the sky, and everyone in the capital held it, but once I fell into the dust, I was nothing, and I couldn't even support myself."

Xu patted her hand, "No one is born with anything, you don't have to be afraid, as long as we are willing, we can walk out of our own way." ”

Xu Han bent down and got up, "Mother, don't come out of it with your sister first." ”

Without waiting for Xu to say anything, the curtain on the car door was opened, and Xu Han stood steadily in front of the car, looking condescendingly at the soldiers and people who came to make trouble.

The sons of the world, who were originally chanting fiercely, put down their hands one after another and looked at Xu Han.

The body looks a little thin, and the face is also very handsome, but a pair of eyes, bright and bright, but the complexion is light, standing on it, as if looking down at a group of ants on the ground.

The scholars were shocked, and then looked at the marks on the carriage, knowing that this was probably the little prince of Zhenbei.

At that moment, they all stopped, and the atmosphere calmed down for a moment.

Xu Han swept around and asked loudly,

"Who just said that I am unscrupulous, stand up."

It may be that his identity is too advantageous for the scholars after all, or it may be that she is surprisingly calm, in short, as soon as he speaks, the already quiet surroundings become quieter and quieter.

But no one stood up, it's okay to fish in troubled waters, if you really want to be the first to stand up and provoke a prince, the scholars are still a little hesitant.

Seeing that no one stood up, Xu Han said,

"Why, I dare to stand here face to face with you, don't you dare to confront me?"

"You are all students who have read the books of the sages, and you are about to take the imperial examination, or you already have a reputation for yourself."

"Why, is that what the saints teach you to talk nonsense behind other people's backs?"

This agitation method is too ruthless, and it is degraded like this, who can swallow this breath.

What's more, a high-ranking prince with a different surname looks extremely calm, but in fact, he is just a gentleman, and he is so provocative.

No wonder she dared to make Xu Ge Lao stop her errand by the emperor, and no wonder she could let her boss Jin Wuwei command Tongzhi to be imprisoned and fall into the mud pit.

Immediately, someone came out of the ranks, held their heads high, and said loudly,

"You're the nosy little prince?"

Xu Han's eyes swept over, and then he gently removed his eyes and looked into the distance.

"You're the poor scholar who never married?"

The face of the person who came out of the queue was not very elegant, and he was ridiculed by Xu Hanyi, and suddenly jumped to his feet,

"Rude, it's rude, it's really the best thing, I don't know how to be polite and shameful."

"The lintel of the Zhenbei Wangfu will be ruined by your uneducated person."

Xu Han nodded with a smile and said,

"The lintel of the Zhenbei Wangfu will not be corrupted by me, but your tutor is really good, so you can come and block the door of Prince Chaoyipin's house."

She raised her voice and said, "If it's such a tutor, I hope that the palace doesn't have a tutor." ”

The student who came out of the queue was so angry that he couldn't go up and pull Xu Han down the wheel and beat him up.

He thought so, so he did so, but before he could get close to Xu Han's body, he was kicked away by Xu Han's quick and precise kick.

Xu Han's gaze swept over those students,

"You are students who study hard in the cold window, why do you want to participate in these things?"

"I want to ask you, if Miss Xu is your mother, sister, and relative, when they encounter such an encounter, will you also poison them to death for their own future?"

"Just to fulfill your clean reputation!"

"If so, what's the difference between it and a brute? The reason why a person is a human being is because he has humanity and knows honesty and shame. ”

"Elder Xu Ge, it was His Majesty's will to be dismissed, which means that the crime was personally set by His Majesty."

"Now that Elder Xu Ge is just recuperating at home, you don't dare to disobey Your Majesty's will, for fear of committing the crime of disrespecting the will, so you will come to the palace to make noise."

"You just dare to pinch soft persimmons, so as to fulfill your reputation as scholars."

"You keep saying that this king is a gentleman, and this king is not worthy of being this prince, so I ask you, what kind of prince can you be."

"Do you dare to take a test with this king for this splendid article?"

The scene fell silent again.

All the students are thinking about what the consequences of competing with Xu Han will be.

Scholars are the easiest to incite, and although it is said that it is difficult for literati to rebel for ten years, there are times when literati are the most difficult to deal with.

Xu Ge's protégés with heads and faces were not easy to come forward, so they instigated these students who had no great fame and were bent on making trouble.

Although Xu Han can't really be allowed to do anything, but in front of this palace, it's okay for a day or two, but if it goes on for a long time, how else will the palace behave?

The crowd was in a commotion again, and all the scholars silently took a step back and made a way, and at the end, it was Xiao Wei who walked over with a horsewhip.

"All the students gathered here, do they want to ask the little prince for teaching?"

"The little prince has already spoken, what's the matter, you still don't dare to deal with it?"

"Aren't you afraid that you won't look good if you lose?"

The whip in his hand was thrown on the ground, and the 'snap' sound brought up puffs of smoke and dust.

The students cried in their hearts, even if they didn't want to discuss it with the little prince at this time, they had to discuss it.

If that whip is thrown on his face and makes a little scar, he will never be able to enter the court as an official again in this life.

According to the laws of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, those who have defects are not allowed to enter the court as officials.

This is how when a scholar meets a superb gentleman, every student with a sense of justice will choose to submit.

Some students came out of the ranks and bowed their hands to Xu Han,

"The student is willing to ask the little prince for advice."

Xu Han also gave up.

"I also want to be right." The student said.

Xu Han lowered his eyes for a moment with his hands behind his back, then raised his head and said calmly,

"Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts, and those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere. Daxian spontaneously defends his heart, and his responsibilities are heavy. ”

When the student who came up with the question heard this, he was a little annoyed and patted his thigh,

"I see, I said something else at the time, more straightforward than the little prince, no wonder the examiner didn't like it and fell off the list."

A person next to him pushed him away, "You're wrong, you're wrong, why did you slap me on the thigh?" ”

Next, due to Xiao Wei's obscenity, students continued to come out, and the topics became more and more eccentric.

The person who wrote the question made the question, and the person who answered the question seemed to be Xu Han answering, but in fact, all the students present were thinking about it.

Some of Xu Han's answers were perfect, and some were not satisfactory, but the students couldn't think of a better answer either.

In the end, those students couldn't help but admire Xu Hanlai, who said that this is the best in Beijing?

If this is also a, then, what are they?

They know how tricky the problems of the students present are, and they don't make it difficult for Xu Han, so what else can they do?

Some of the students present saw Xu Han being accepted as an apprentice by Wang Mushan in Qixinglou that day.

At that time, they were still a little indignant, the few words that the little prince said were just plain words on the surface, if they were bolder, they could actually say it.

After today's scene, no one will have any objections to Xu Han's favor by Wang Mushan.

Someone quietly said underground, "I have relatives who work on an errand in Jin Wuwei, and I heard that this little prince shocked the audience on the first day of his appointment." ”

"It seems that he is a prodigy who is both civil and military, we can't compare, we can't compare."

Xu Han stood tall in front of the carriage, and Xiao Wei stood quietly not far from her with a horsewhip, and she also needed to look up to see her face clearly.

His heart suddenly stirred inexplicably, and he felt that the young man who was high above was so thrilling.

He shook his head, not to mention that there was a man in front of him, even a woman, and he shouldn't put her and Eleven Niang together.

He was annoyed by these scholars, so he said impatiently,

"Why don't you retreat quickly, do you really have to be driven away by the government?"

Xu Han waved her hand, and she suddenly said,

"They don't understand the truth of the matter, and they want to have a showdown with me, which is understandable."

"I just listen to their opinions, whether they endure the pain or not, they just say it, and I don't lose anything by listening to it."

Hearing people's ears, they inexplicably felt that this little prince was indeed different from what those people said.

I only heard Xu Han continue,

"You are not good at studying, and you are ready to take revenge in the imperial examination, and you came here to besiege the door of a prince's house, you want justice, but what is justice?"

"Old Xu Ge has justice, but what about Miss Xu? Even those girls who were also abducted by abductors, who gave them justice? ”

"Which of them isn't a good girl? Which one wants to suffer those experiences? ”

"Where is true fairness?"

There was silence below.

Someone hurriedly said, "Little prince, that's not what you said. ”

If you want to say the reason, you can't say it.

Could it be that the girls are not pitiful? That's just because it didn't fall to your own head, otherwise it wouldn't be like that.

Most of the troublemakers here are herd mentality, just joining in the fun. It is impossible to say that he really wants to seek justice for Xu Gelao.

Not to mention that there is a clear plan and strategy, in the end it is nothing more than a rabble.

"Little prince, that little people have something to ask the prince...... "The people who have been wandering away from the students finally have someone to speak.

Xu Han smiled, "Ask." ”

"Xu Ge Lao poisoned her daughter for the sake of face, and deceived the emperor, she did something wrong."

"Then your boss, Xu Tongzhi, where did he offend you, and you want to send him to prison?"

Xu Han didn't know how to describe his mood.

It turned out that these people were favored by Xu Dingtai and came to follow her to crusade against her.

Okay, these people are all gathered in one place, okay, let her solve it all today.

Xu Dingtai sat down and the evil thing that Lord Jing Zhaoyin had already told her yesterday.

The third master has already recruited everything he knows.

At first, they only abducted and sold some women to other places, such as Yangzhou to make thin horses and the like.

It was only later that the abducted women began to be used one after another to meet the needs of the DPRK and Chinese officials.

Then there was the daughter of the quasi-official, who secretly abducted them, but these girls were not sold, nor were they used to receive officials from the DPRK and China.

But Xu Dingtai took it away by himself.

What exactly is it used for, Xu Dingtai did not say.

As for the officials of the DPRK and China who received them, the third master told everything he knew.

Jing Zhaoyin's interrogation of the third master's clerk's office recorded more than a dozen pages of paper, although the officials involved in it did not have executives above the second or third grades, but there were many officials who were five or six grades, or even really lacking.

There are even some children of side branches of the family.

As long as these lists are handed in, it is equivalent to a big turnaround in the court, and the families in the capital will be disgraced.

As for the daughters of the official family that Xu Dingtai took away, they must have become a lot of bones in that small courtyard.

However, over the years in the capital, there have been few news of the loss of their daughters from large families.

Presumably, these officials not only concealed it, but were also pinched by Xu Dingtai!

No wonder Xu Dingtai was so unscrupulous, not only did he dare to close the door and rob them at that time, but even said that he would not be punished.

He looked at the officials he was holding on to plead for him.

Today, Xu Han knew that Xu Dingtai relied not only on those officials who were holding handles, but also on these low-level people.

The people are the most important, and the community is light.

People can carry boats, but they can also capsize boats.

Therefore, if the people's opposition is louder, even His Majesty will have to consider letting Xu Dingtai go.

Xu Han asked lightly, "Xu Dingtai has more than ten lives in his hands, and over the years, how many wives have been separated by the abduction gang he organized." ”

"If such a heinous person is not sent to prison, then who should be sent?"

The people snorted, "Have you seen Xu Shanren kill people?" Don't you see the red mouth and white teeth saying that he kills? ”

"Then Xiaomin can also say that you killed someone, little prince."

The man went to the ground, rolled twice, and howled loudly, "The little prince has killed someone, the little prince has killed someone......"

Xu Han always stood in front of the carriage, looking condescendingly at the people rolling on the ground,

"You said that Xu Dingtai is Xu Shanren, but it's just because you have received his favor, and you don't care about the pain of others."

People in this world are like this, even if they know that Xu Dingtai is extremely evil, the lives on his hands are higher than the mountains, and the blood standing on his hands can't be washed away.

However, they only got Xu Dingtai's small favors, they would be pitiful, they would plead for him, and they would scold the people who punished him for being cruel and inhumane.

So much so that those who died in the hands of Xu Dingtai, those innocent girls.

They did not see with their own eyes that the girls who were abducted and killed were not their relatives, and those who were sad and painful were not their relatives.

This is ridiculous compassion, but there are many such so-called righteous compassions in this world.

"If you think that it is I Xu Han who has wronged your Xu Shanren, you can go to the yamen to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and let the government and even the emperor come to condemn me."

"Do you dare?"

"You're just a bunch of cowards."

"A bunch of fools who ignore the law and despise the suffering of others."

"A bunch of idiots who don't know what morality is."

She got out of the carriage and stood in front of them with her back straight.

"This king is the prince of Chaoyipin, today you dare to block the street like this, you are committing the following crimes, this king will ask the yamen, let them investigate your guilt."

"You, you, and you, all of you, will be summoned by the government."

There was applause, it was Xiao Wei, it was the Xu family, and even Wei Ting, they all applauded Xu Han.

Those students saw Xu Han's knowledge, and they were already a little weak-minded, but now when they heard that Xu Han wanted to hold them accountable, they were all silent and did not refute.

Those people still looked at Xu Han with their necks stilted, fully demonstrating their ignorance.

Xu Han believed that Xu Dingtai had indeed given these people favors, but that was just Xu Dingtai's means, just for today, no matter who exposed him, he would be questioned like this.

She supported the Xu family, and took Xu Xilian, bowed her head slightly towards Xiao Wei, and went to the gate of the palace.

Inside the gate, Xu Jun and Xu Zhao stood hand in hand.

"Zhao'er, do you still think that your younger brother can't sit on the throne of the prince and deserves the respect of the prince?"

Xu Zhao's eyes drooped slightly, and he didn't speak.

Just received the news that someone was making trouble outside, he deliberately ignored it, he just wanted to see how Xu Han would deal with it.

He handled it very well, just like the original matter of printing money, there is no better way.

Although force can sometimes be very effective in suppressing such scenes, where is the mental crushing more pleasant?

Didn't he secretly do it in the past, wanting to crush Xu Han?

It's just that they were all avoided by Xu Han.

It's also his magic barrier, since he can avoid his black hands, how can he be a general?

At this moment, Xu Zhao's heart, which had been depressed for a long time, suddenly came alive again.

He wanted to see what step Xu Han could take, and he Xu Zhao could do it!

At the corner outside the palace, there were two figures sneaky, seeing Xu Han and the Xu family into the palace, the students outside hung their heads and dispersed.

Only a few diehards and civilians remained in front of the palace gate.

"Go back and tell the master that Xu Ge Lao's method has failed, and Xu Han has nothing to do."

The other person nodded, turned around and left, secretly turned a few corners, went to a prince's mansion, and quietly reported what happened in front of the palace in Zhenbei.

"The old man Xu Ge is old and refined, and he can't fight a little Xu Han! What a rubbish. ”

"Master, where Xu Dingtai is, do we want to ......" He gestured around his neck.

"No, someone wants to do it more than we do."

"Then what if Xu Dingtai recruits him?"
