Hou Xuanyan didn't even care about eating, and hurriedly took people to the palace arranged by the governor of Chuzhou, which was already crowded.

The emperor is gone, Fuzhou can no longer keep these ministers, and in the depths of their bones, they have never regarded Fuzhou as the national capital. It is located in the southeast corner, and the so-called Tiangao Emperor Yuan refers to these places in the past, and they have not bathed in the emperor's grace for thousands of years. was sent to Fujian as an official, for the important ministers of the temple, it was a distribution. So in the small court of Fuzhou, although they are all scary in their official positions, there is always a lack of self-confidence.

Fuzhou City and the Longwu Imperial Court live in the same city as each other, but they seem to have an invisible membrane that separates them from each other. When His Majesty drives Jinling, that is the bearing and demeanor that a great minister should have. The emperor and Hou Xuan performed in Fuzhou, and the news of rushing to Jinling spread, and these people did not hesitate to pack up their softness and chased after them in unison.

Hou Xuanyan came to the palace, which was originally a wealthy mansion, and so many people poured in at once, and the aisles were full.

The guards opened the way in front, and when everyone saw that it was Hou Xuanyan, they all consciously gave way to the road. These people crowded on the road are all officials with relatively low official ranks, and they don't dare to openly argue with Hou Xuanyan.

When he came to the front of the hall, Zhu Yujian had been waiting for a long time, only to see Hou Xuanyan wearing a reckless suit with a jade belt around his waist, unsheathing his sword and throwing it to the guards standing outside the door. Before entering the hall, he saluted: "Knock to see my emperor." ”

Zhu Yujian said with a smile: "Hou Aiqing, hurry up." ”

Hou Xuanyan stood up and looked around, and the officials who had crossed eyes with him lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly. When he looked up, Zhu Yujian, whose face was still a little pale, was obviously comfortable, looking at the courtiers in the hall, and he was quite interested.

Hou Xuanyan sighed secretly, this emperor obviously still has hope for these people, and he really forgot the pain before the scar healed. It is no wonder that these people often regard themselves as the pillars of the country, and usually talk and point out the country one by one. For those emperors who aspire to become promising emperors, these people are very attractive.

Hou Xuanyan obviously didn't want to blend into this atmosphere full of monarchs and ministers, he glared angrily and said loudly: "Su Guansheng, you dog thief is a big rebel, and your majesty will be seriously ill." As a courtier, he did such a thing, and he didn't commit suicide to thank the world, but he dared to show up? ”

Su Guan was worried when he was born, but what he was afraid of was that Zhu Yujian would not forgive him, but he was not afraid of Hou Xuanyan. In his opinion, Hou Xuanyan is the same as Zheng Zhilong, and His Majesty still has to rely on his own people to balance Hou Xuanyan.

Sure enough, when he saw the holy driver, although Zhu Yujian scolded himself indignantly, after he defended himself skillfully, he had already obtained the emperor's forgiveness. Su Guansheng thought that what he expected was not bad, and he was beaming with pride, when he heard Hou Xuanyan take the initiative to find fault.

Su Guansheng thought about it, isn't this a great opportunity to show loyalty, as long as he lets His Majesty know that he and Hou Xuanyan will definitely not get together, how can His Majesty not reuse himself to check and balance Hou Xuanyan.

Thinking of this, Su Guansheng stiffened his neck and scolded back: "Hou Xuanyan, don't spew blood, everyone knows how Su is an official." On the contrary, it was you who killed Governor He and connived at his subordinates to murder Huang Ge Lao, which is a great rebellion! ”

Hou Xuanyan's gaze gradually became cold, staring at Su Guansheng who was like a river, holding his breath tightly with his hands.

Zhu Yujian coughed dryly, and said in a round field: "Both of them are my ministers, and I used to think that Zheng Zhilong was making a hindrance, which caused everyone to have a misunderstanding. Now that we've gotten out of that pirate den in Fuzhou, it's time to clear up these misunderstandings. Su Aiqing, you don't know, killing He Tengjiao is indeed my intention, Huang Daozhou was also bewitched by Zheng Zhilong, disregarding my intentions, and was mistakenly killed by Wu Yuebo's men, not intentionally.

As for Su Aiqing's matter, Wen Yuan, you don't have to pursue it too much. Haha, speaking of which, without Su Aiqing's momentary confusion, I haven't had a chance to get out of the cage yet. ”

Hou Xuanyan was very dissatisfied after listening to this and muddy remarks. The emperor had obviously begun to plan, which was expected by his own reason, but emotionally he still couldn't accept it for a while. The blood shed by Fuzhou's own brothers has not dried up, so should it make the hearts of the survivors cold first?

There is an urgent need for an emperor on his own territory, and only in this way will he avoid the embarrassing situation of fighting bloodily in front and constantly harassing him in the back. Moreover, his official position and title were maliciously suppressed by Zheng Zhilong, and there was no way to convince the public. With the emperor, all this is solved.

But Hou Xuanyan didn't intend to hand over all the power in his hands at all, history has already given these people a chance, and he is not qualified to decide for all the Han people and hand over his fate to them again.

When Su Guansheng heard these words, he was even more convinced of what he thought in his heart, these officials had been immersed in the official Tao of the late Ming Dynasty for so many years, and all kinds of dirty and distorted thoughts were exquisite. The method of pouring sewage was free, he saw that Hou Xuanyan had a bad face and was angry in his heart, Su Guansheng was not afraid of anti-joy, and he shook his lips and puffed his tongue and sneered.

Hou Xuanyan's personal guards listened carefully outside, entered the hall murderously, and looked at Hou Xuanyan with their eyes. Zhu Yujian secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly played the round, and reprimanded: "Su Aiqing, don't say it again, Hou Qing's family is brave and loyal, I have already made it clear, why do you still talk nonsense." ”

Hou Xuanyan's face turned pale, the corners of his mouth slashed, and he said, "Whoever let you in, get out!" ”

His personal guards are all brothers who have been with him for a long time, and they have lived and died several times, and a tacit understanding between them is enough for one look.

Hu Bawan stared at a pair of mung bean eyes, a full beard, and looked vulgar and unliterate. But in fact, he Yunwen Yunwu was carefully selected by Li Haoxian from among the heroes of Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong who fled south with him, and sent him to Hou Xuanyan as a personal guard. As soon as Hou Xuan's speech fell, Hu Bawan pulled out his sharp blade and shouted: "The commander is for the country and the people, and he is moved by heaven and earth, and today he is humiliated by this." How can we sit idly by and watch you, a traitor, mix black and white, and turn right and wrong upside down! After Hu Bawan finished speaking, he raised his knife and stepped forward. The few remaining guards of his companions skillfully blocked the other ministers who wanted to come to the rescue.

Su Guansheng was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid of this kind of non-conformity, he was so frightened that he panicked, but he still held on to his breath, and his voice became thin because of nervousness: "What are you going to do!" ”

"So-and-so, I hacked you alive!"

A cold light flashed, and a terrifying knife mark appeared on Su Guansheng's chest, and blood gushed out.

Hou Xuanyan closed his eyes, turned around and knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Hu Bawan killed people in front of His Palace, causing blood to splash in front of His Majesty's eyes, and the crime deserves death." This is all due to the minister's poor discipline, and this soldier is angry at the crown just to complain for the minister, Hou Xuanyan is willing to die for Hu Bayi. ”

The guards knelt on the ground together and said in unison: "A certain person is willing to die for Hu Bayi." ”

There were already guards who had not entered the hall, and they walked out of the palace and mobilized soldiers and horses. These people gathered outside the palace in formation, and the commander at the door of the followers shouted in unison: "A certain person is willing to die for Hu Bayi!" ”

The sound resounded through the nine heavens...
