Chapter 113: Discussion in the Palace

Han Yan is the only one who is on the top of the main hall today, after all, he is the key person in the whole incident. As for Huang Zhong www.biquge.info he was put back home by Cao Cao and others. Looking at Zhang Rang, who was standing beside the Son of Heaven with a panicked expression, Han Yan was very calm at this time. Although Cao Cao didn't give himself the slightest advice, just based on the layout that Han Yan had already understood, he could conclude that he would be safe today, and as for Zhang Rang, he would be able to peel off his skin if he didn't die.

Above the main hall, Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, is sitting on it, and next to him is the Empress Dowager Dong of the current dynasty. On the other side of the Son of Heaven, standing was Zhang Rang, the servant of Zhongchang.

At the head of the ministers in the hall, it was the general He Jin who was standing, and at this time his hands were hidden in his sleeves, his eyes were closed, and he had nothing to do with himself. Behind the general, stood Han Yan's father-in-law, Cai Yong, and a group of generals.

On the other side, there are court officials headed by the three dukes. The leaders are Taiwei Ma Riyan, Situ Xu Xiang, and Sikong Ding Palace. Behind him, there were Jiuqing, Guangluxun, Liu Hong and others, as well as a number of officials.

In fact, if things had been a few months earlier, it would have been more beneficial for Han Yan to stand here, at that time Cao Cao's father Cao Song was still a lieutenant of the court, but now it is not, but there is less help. However, this is just what Han Yan thinks, what is going on, that is, it is left to fate.

"Ahem! Who is standing down there? ”

After coughing twice, Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, spoke.

Hearing the question, Han Yan took a deep breath, stepped forward and clasped his fists and bowed, "Grass people Han Yan, Han Youxin." ”

"Hmmm! Do you know what sin you have committed? ”

Instinctively, Liu Hong questioned according to the little common sense he only knew about criminal cases.

When the Son of Heaven asked, the Empress Dowager Dong and the ministers all frowned at the same time, this is obviously just a trial, why has the Son of Heaven already convicted people with this opening? It really doesn't fit the position of the Son of Heaven.

However, contrary to the thoughts of Empress Dowager Dong and others, Zhang Rang was happy next to him, and the Son of Heaven really wanted to be in his heart! Instinctively, Zhang Rang opened his mouth and said to the side: "Han Yan, Your Majesty asked you!" Do you know what sin you have committed? ”

"Humph!"

Empress Dowager Dong heard Zhang Rang's voice, snorted heavily, and then glanced at Zhang Rang fiercely.

Zhang Rang's body trembled, looked at the Empress Dowager Dong with some fear, and then shrunk his neck, not daring to speak again.

"Queen Mother!" Looking at the queen mother beside him, Liu Hongzhi shouted very dissatisfied, then turned his head again, looked at Han Yan below, and said: "Today, I summoned hundreds of officials to jointly try the case, and there will naturally be a judgment on the merits, if you have anything to say, you don't have to have any taboos." ”

"Yes!" Respectfully responded, then Han Yan's expression changed, his words changed, and he said in a deep voice: "The grass people don't know what their sins are, if offending Lord Zhongchang is counted as one, then there is only this one!" ”

As soon as Han Yan spoke, everyone's eyes naturally focused on Zhang Rang, the middle attendant beside the Son of Heaven. In the final analysis, after being contacted by Cai Yong and others, many people did not come to help Han Yan, but to bring down the eunuchs around today. And the Zhongchang attendants naturally know what is going on, so today, except for Zhang Rang, the other eleven Zhongchang attendants led by Zhao Zhong are hiding outside the main hall and did not come to the main hall, in order to see that Zhang Rang is unlucky and will not affect himself.

"Humph! Take care of him! "For the ten permanent attendants, the Son of Heaven is naturally very close, and now seeing that Han Yan's words pointed directly at his 'father' Zhang Rang, he was naturally very angry, and shouted angrily: "I sent Zhang Rang to your house to announce the appointment of you as the Captain of the Left Colonel of Xiyuan, why shouldn't you?" Why did you hit Zhang Rang again? I can't make a sense, you don't want to get out alive today, I will kill you alive in this hall! ”

The attitude of the Son of Heaven really shocked many people, could it be said that the Son of Heaven is defending a group of eunuchs like this today? Of course not. Liu Hong was still angry at the previous question, why Han Yan didn't accept his will to be the left captain of Xiyuan, why didn't he be loyal to himself.

However, although the angry appearance of the Son of Heaven was very scary, Han Yan was standing far away from the main hall after all, so naturally he didn't have so many emotions, the corners of his mouth moved, and he defended: "Back to Your Majesty, it's not that the grass people are unwilling to take over the official position of Captain Zuo, it's really ...... Can't ......"

"Can't? Hum! Tell me why you can't! ”

Flicked his sleeves in disgust, Liu Hong was really angry.

Empress Dowager Dong watched her son's performance on the side, always feeling very uncomfortable, pointed at Han Yan with her hand, and said softly: "You speak slowly, the Son of Heaven will give you justice!" Isn't it? My son! ”

"The Queen Mother! This...... Be! ”

Liu Hong, who is already the Son of Heaven, was naturally very unhappy when he was called so by his mother in this public, but he had no choice but to respond.

"Yes!" Han Yan bowed to the Empress Dowager Dong, and then said: "My father died at the beginning of the year, according to the ceremony, the grass people need to keep filial piety for him, but now it is only August, and the grass people have not finished their filial piety, so they can't go out." ”

"Hmmm! There is a reason for that! At this time, after listening to Han Yan's words, Sikong Ding Palace nodded in agreement, and then stepped forward and saluted the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and then said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother." Since the beginning of my dynasty, the funeral of my parents, let alone the people, even if the officials of the DPRK and China encounter this incident, they should also observe filial piety for three years after the death of their parents. In the past three years, it is not said that he has been appointed as an official, even if he is an incumbent official, he should leave his post, and he can't even do marriage, let alone some other festive ceremonies. Han Yan's move is in line with the precedent of our dynasty, and it is in line with filial piety! ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Hong reluctantly agreed, ignoring Han Yan, but he complained a little about Ding Gong in his heart.

The inopportune opening in front of the Son of Heaven has always been suspicious of the monarch, but Ding Palace has forgotten this today.

"That being the case, the fact that Han Yan is not the captain of the West Park is excusable, and it is naturally not a crime."

The Son of Heaven does not speak, but it does not mean that the Empress Dowager Dong will be silent, on the contrary, the Empress Dowager Dong speaks, but the Son of Heaven is not easy to overthrow.

"This ...... What about the beating of Zhang Rang? As if he had a hunch, Liu Hong felt that today's matter might not be as simple as Zhang Rang said, but beating people in the palace was also a crime, and it was very appropriate to testify against Han Yan.
