Section 17 Long Yan was furious

On the eight-lift sedan chair, Zhang Ruming held Shang Fang's sword with a sad face. Although he came up with a clever plan, it was also a next step. In case the emperor wants to kill chickens and make an example of the monkey and not let go of the Hou Shizi of Xining, he is tantamount to making himself ugly by doing so. Perhaps, he will lose the emperor's favor because of this.

"Duan Lang, you bastard, Lao Tzu ate your nest or drank your noodle soup in his last life, why don't you pull Lao Tzu into the fire pit together. And the eagle, what Lao Tzu hated the most in his life was the eagle. Almighty God, please, old man, with a bolt of lightning, slash that flat-haired beast to death. ”

Zhang Ruming cursed viciously, and now he could only use swearing to vent the resentment in his heart. If he knew that was the case, he shouldn't have taken this damn errand. If it were someone else, at least he would be able to buckle the basin on Duan Lang's head, maybe he would have clicked him with a knife now. This also blames him for being too careless, and making it into the hands of others. Thinking of this, Zhang Ruming hated to slap himself a few times.

In the imperial study room of the palace, Emperor Yuning was reviewing the folds sent from all over the country, when he saw the great eunuch Wei Dong bowing down and walking in.

"Master Qiqi, Shangguan Heavenly Master asks to see you."

Emperor Yuning stopped the imperial pen in his hand, "He doesn't ask questions in Dali Temple, how can he still have the leisure to come to me." Transmit! ”

Wei Dong agreed and retreated, and after a while, Wei Dong led Zhang Ruming in.

"The Great Xia Kingdom Kyoto Heavenly Master Palace, pray for the blessing of the Heavenly Master Shangguan Xuanwu, and knock to see Your Majesty. May the gods of the heavens shine brightly, according to my summer wind and rain, and the country and the people are safe~Coaxing Nini Da~! Zhang Ruming pretended to kneel and bow.

"Shangguan Tianshi is flat, Aiqing, you don't ask about the case in Dali Temple, why do you come to see me?" Emperor Yuning leaned back on the dragon chair and looked at Shangguan Heavenly Master with a smile on his face.

Zhang Ruming stood up and smiled, "Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask, I don't know how Your Majesty wants to decide this case." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Yuning was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that he asked this very level, and before he tried it, he first asked how to decide.

Emperor Yuning waved his hand and asked Wei Dong and the others to step back. Emperor Yuning looked at Shangguan Heavenly Master and asked rhetorically.

"Aiqing, what do you think of this case?"

Zhang Ruming's face was solemn, and he said seriously, "What Your Majesty thinks, the ministers will look at it, I believe that the gods and spirits of the heavens will also agree with Your Majesty's opinion." ”

Emperor Yuning let out a loud laugh, and this sycophant made him very comfortable.

"Aiqing, I want to hear the truth, and I can say whatever I think in my heart." Emperor Yuning smiled.

Zhang Ruming hesitated for a moment, and said in his heart that he was in a good mood when he saw Emperor Yuning, and he would not blame himself if he said something wrong.

"Your Majesty, then I can say it, if it is wrong, you can punish it."

"Well, let's talk about it."

"Your Majesty, in fact~ This case is very simple, and the minister felt that it was an unjust case before he tried it. Think about it, Xining Hou, a person who is about to enter the ground, has a baby son who is not allowed to hold it in the palm of his hand, how could he let his son risk his life. Not to mention Fang Jiye, who was still waiting for His Majesty's amnesty, how could he take such a big risk in the grounded place. Therefore~ the minister felt that he had wronged them. ”

After Zhang Ruming finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Yuning carefully, and said in his heart that as long as Emperor Yuning was angry, he would quickly kneel down and beg for mercy. It's a big deal to get Duan Lang out in private, who other people love, he can't care so much.

The expression on Emperor Yuning's face did not change in the slightest, but he said lightly, "Aiqing, you have been in Kyoto for a long time, and you should know some things in the court." When you say that, aren't you afraid of being attacked by some courtiers? ”

Zhang Ruming's neck straightened, "The ministers are only responsible for Your Majesty, and the other ministers don't have to pay attention to them, and they can't control the ministers." ”

"Hehe, a good one is only responsible for me, and I am very happy to hear it. Shangguan Aiqing, since you think it is an unjust case, let's find out the reason for the unjust case. Emperor Yuning patted the imperial case in front of him and said with relief.

Zhang Ruming's small eyes rolled, and he said with a smile, "Your Majesty, in fact~ the minister has already asked about the case." The reason for this is actually quite simple. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Emperor Yuning was slightly stunned and looked at Zhang Ruming.

"Your Majesty, the five-clawed golden dragon carved by Tian Huang is indeed brought by the prince. However, they were not kept privately, but as a tribute to the celebration of His Majesty's accession to the throne. The military aircraft ordered Lord Zhanfeng to misunderstand, so he made such a fuss. ”

Emperor Yuning looked at Zhang Ruming in surprise, and said in his heart that this statement is very good, which can not only exonerate the Hou Shizi of Xining, but also silence the opponents.

"Hehe, it seems that I didn't misunderstand you, very good, this case is very well interrogated. Now that the case has been clarified, let's go and declare my will, and don't forget to appease the prince for me. The celebration is approaching, and I don't want to cause more trouble. Come on, the intention is ~! ”

Emperor Yuning understood that this matter must be handled quickly, otherwise, I am afraid that the courtiers will be noisy again. Since he doesn't want to tear this window paper with Xining Hou, let him be grateful first.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister must convey His Majesty's Long En to the Marquis of Xining and others, presumably they will also be grateful to Dade."

A big stone in Zhang Ruming's heart finally landed, and it seemed that Emperor Yuning had no intention of pursuing it at all. Otherwise, there is no use in rhetoric. Zhang Ruming hurriedly retired and left the imperial study in a hurry.

As soon as Zhang Ruming left, Emperor Yuning beckoned Wei Dong over, "Go, arrange someone to stop Shangguan Heavenly Master." You immediately go to Dali Temple with my jade plate, and say that Shangguan Tianshi ordered that the prince Zhao Zhuofeng should be heavily punished for fifty boards. Remember, you must tell Zhao Zhuofeng that the Heavenly Master has no reason, he just wants to beat him. ”

Wei Dong was stunned, and immediately nodded and said, "No, the old slave will do it." ”

As soon as Wei Dong left, Emperor Yuning had a sinister smile on his face. Xining Hou is also his uncle no matter what he says, and he still has to give face. But to fight the revenge of the board, he has to let the Marquis of Xining remember the body of Shangguan Tianshi. In the next step, Emperor Yuning was ready to support the Heavenly Master Palace, and he didn't want Shangguan Heavenly Master to get too close to one of them. Only by letting Shangguan Heavenly Master offend the two families can he cling to his big tree.

As soon as the matter here was dealt with, the eunuch came to report, saying that Xiangguo Yu Ban and other ministers asked to see him. Emperor Yuning smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that you should come early, so that I can watch you quarrel with Shangguan Tianshi. It's too late now, Shangguan's kid has finished shitting, and he has to let me wipe his ass.

"Come on, let them in."

After a while, Yu Ban led several important ministers of the court and the central government to walk in.

"Ministers~ Knock on Your Majesty."

In the imperial study, he fell to his knees.

Emperor Yu Ning frowned slightly, put away his alertness that only revealed when facing the Investigation Division, and his face showed his usual old and mediocre color.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat, Yu Aiqing, I don't know if you are here, what do you have to do?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others are participating in the impeachment of the Hou Shizi of Xining, and the case of Shangguan Xuanwu Heavenly Master is the chief judge." Yu Ban said with a reference board in his hand.

"Oh? Why is that? Does Yu Aiqing believe in the Heavenly Master, or does she not believe in me? He's my chosen person. Emperor Yuning looked at Yu Ban with interest.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare. The ministers just felt that this case was very important, and Shangguan Heavenly Master had no experience in judging cases, so it was disrespectful to His Majesty to really make a joke. Therefore, the ministers and others jointly played, and the ministers dared to ask for the will, together with the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, to conduct three sessions. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal~!"

"The minister seconded the proposal~!"

After Yu Ban finished speaking, a cadre and others seconded the proposal. Emperor Yuning's eyes inadvertently flashed a trace of cold light, although he favored the ban, but in recent years, Yu Ban's influence in the court has become more and more powerful, and it has gradually exceeded the bottom line of Emperor Yuning. However, sometimes Emperor Yuning is also very helpless, after all, some major affairs in the DPRK and China really need to be dealt with by an iron-fisted figure like Yu Ban.

"Hahahaha~!" Emperor Yuning let out a hearty laugh.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what a coincidence, Shangguan Aiqing just came to me just now. You don't know, Shangguan Aiqing has already dealt with this matter, I'm afraid that now, he has already announced the decree in Dali Temple. ”

"What? Decree? ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, they didn't hear that Shangguan Xuanwu asked about the case, why did they make an order in such a hurry?

Yu Ban's heart moved, and he bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, is this going to behead Zhao Zhuofeng?" ”

Emperor Yuning smiled and waved his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are all mistaken. That Tian topaz carved a five-clawed golden dragon was simply a gift from the Marquis of Xining to He Zhen. Now that Shangguan Heavenly Master has found out the truth, I almost failed the kindness of Xining Hou. I have decreed that this matter will be stopped, and the time for the celebration is approaching, and you Aiqing must reassure the people, and there must be no mistakes in Kyoto. ”

Xiangguo Yu Ban heard it, and his nose was almost crooked. That Tian topaz carving was obviously a tribute that he had privately withheld from the Moro Kingdom many years ago, how did it become the Marquis of Xining. Yu Ban didn't dare to say it clearly, so he had to give Chu Baoxiong, the servant of the ministry, a look, and Chu Baoxiong, the servant of the ministry, hurriedly stood up.

"Your Majesty, this case is very important, and the minister feels that this matter is a little strange. The minister thought that it was better to have three sessions as Lord Yu said. ”

As soon as Feng Zhun, the squire of the military department, was about to second, he listened to Emperor Yuning's slap of the imperial case, "Bold, are you questioning my judgment?" Isn't it, you think I'm confused! ”

Chu Baoxiong never thought that Emperor Yuning would be so angry, so frightened that he fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty is angry, the minister doesn't dare, the minister deserves death, it's the minister who is confused."

"Humph! As a servant of the ministry, since you are old and confused, I also think that you should give way to the virtuous. Emperor Yuning sneered.

When Chu Baoxiong heard this, he was immediately paralyzed to the ground in fright, he really regretted that he had said this more, this time it's good, the black gauze hat is going to be gone. Yu Ban and the others' faces changed suddenly, especially Feng Zhun, the squire of the military department, who said in his heart that he was one step late, otherwise he might not know what the end would be.

Yu Ban hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty is angry, Lord Chu is also confused for a while, now is the time of the celebration and employment, I hope Your Majesty will be gracious." ”

After Yu Ban finished speaking, the others stood timidly one by one, and none of them seconded it. At this moment, His Majesty is angry, and no one dares to touch this moldy head.

Emperor Yuning's face was gloomy, and he glared at Chu Baoxiong angrily, "Since Yu Aiqing intercedes, I will circle you once." Let's all go down, for a mere pilgrimage gift, don't you have anything serious to do! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister retires~!"

"The minister retires~!"

As soon as the cadres and others retreated, Chu Baoxiong hurriedly thanked the saints, got up and left. A trace of doubt rose in Yu Ban's heart, Emperor Yuning had rarely had this kind of anger in these years, and today's signs seemed to be a little wrong.

"Your Majesty, the ministers deserve death, and the ministers are also worried that the Marquis of Xining has bad intentions, so they led the ministers to play. Now that Your Majesty has found out the truth, the minister is relieved. If His Majesty feels that the minister is suspected of overstepping, the minister is willing to accept the guilt. Yu Ban knelt on the ground and put on a respectful look.

"Yu Aiqing, I know that you mean well, and I don't mean to blame you. You are the head of the courtiers, and I am still very relieved of you. Stand down, I'm tired. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister is retiring!" Yu Ban stood up, bowed and retreated.

Emperor Yuning sighed slightly, for Xiangguo Yu Ban and Xining Hou Zhao Li, he had the heart to eradicate but was unable to do it. After all, one of these two people has a heavy army, and the other is in power, and any move will hurt the foundation of Great Xia. What's more, Yu Ban's forces are all over the corner, and Emperor Yuning feels that his threat is far greater than that of Xining Hou.

Emperor Yuning leaned on the dragon chair, thinking about how much power he should give to this Shangguan Heavenly Master, so that he could compete with Xiangguo and Xining Hou as soon as possible, forming a three-legged situation.
