Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Court Asks for Guilt (Beginning)

Halfway through, the sky is faint.

The Hanyuan Hall was already full of ministers who were ready to go to court, and they exchanged words with each other.

"Lord Zhou, have you ever heard about the matter of the prince of Chai Mansion yesterday?"

"Lord Dou, don't worry, today the court will let His Majesty make a decision."

"Lord Yuan, King Anle bought the murder, and you have to explain it to Your Majesty."

"Lord Li, please rest assured, for such an angry matter, Yuan must seek justice for the victim!"

Such a conversation can be heard everywhere in today's Hanyuan Palace. Everyone is so righteous and awe-inspiring, in fact, it is just the result of receiving the silver of the Chai Mansion and the operation of the four great families of Li, Wang, Dou, and Yang behind the scenes.

No one dislikes his official position, and no one dislikes his lack of money. Half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are in collusion with these top families, and if they want to be promoted and make a fortune, how can they not have a good relationship.

The drum on the drum tower outside the hall sounded nine times, and the ministers of the Hanyuan Hall went to the Xuanzheng Hall behind one after another from the dragon tail road. Everyone entered the Xuanzheng Hall and found their place and stood with their hands down. It didn't take long for Tang Yu to come from the inner hall and sit on the dragon chair.

The eunuchs chanted, and the ministers bowed down to salute.

Most of the court discussions are indecisive. The first thing is still a clichΓ©, talking about the war in Goryeo.

Now Tang Yu has the hole card of the Yanbei Army, and with a wave of his hand, he lowered the holy decree, and ordered Cheng Zhijie to be the main general, Luo Shixin, Wei Chigong, and Xu Shiji as deputy generals, and led the 80,000 soldiers of the Yanbei Army to start on the same day and gallop to aid Liaodong.

For this decision, some people are naturally happy and some are worried. The most ugly face above the court is probably the ministers of the household department, one by one, like their dead fathers and mothers.

Tang Yu was in a good mood, and the next few things went extremely smoothly. These things are nothing more than spending money, and the gold and silver that have just been transported from Yanbei have made these problems that used to be old and difficult suddenly extremely simple.

When the court was about to disperse, all the people in the household were like frosted eggplants. Looking at Fang Xuanling, the left minister in charge of the household department, his face was almost condensed into ice.

The so-called: I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't care about my family. Seeing that the silver that was not yet warm was gone in a blink of an eye, Fang Xianggong's heart was dripping blood!

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have something to do?"

"Your Majesty, please play if you have something to do!" Zhou Ren of the House of Counsellors walked out of the queue.

"Zhou Aiqing, what do you have to do?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ren lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt under the emperor's stairs, with a sad and indignant face.

Seeing this, Tang Yu suddenly frowned, and his face was gloomy.

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, ministers do not have to bow down to the emperor when they see it, unless it is an important grand ceremony and a major crime evidence of the royal heirs.

"Anle Wang Tang smiled, his eyes have no national law, and he buys murder."

"Ridiculous!"

Without waiting for Zhou Ren to finish speaking, Tang Yu shouted angrily and said coldly: "Zhou Ren, you are so bold!" ”

"Your Majesty, King Anle hired a killer to intercept and kill Chai Lingwu, the son of Chai Shao, the general of Jinnan, on the bank of the Chanshui River yesterday. Although Chai Lingwu escaped by chance, he was seriously injured. What the minister said is true, please see your majesty! ”

"Your Majesty, please be aware of it!"

"Please give an order to your Majesty to arrest King An Le and come to ask for the guilt!"

If you don't break this kind of thing in advance, you will make trouble to me above the court! These families ......

Seeing a few more people kneeling out, Tang Yu was suddenly furious, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Whether this matter is true or false remains to be investigated, thinking of the mention of building a military station on the Western Regions Trade Road a few days ago, these Guan Long families obviously want to use this matter to force him, the emperor, to make concessions.

What a good idea!

Thinking of this, Tang Yu asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any objections to Aiqing?" ”

Wei Chigong glanced at both sides a few times, hesitating whether to stand up and speak for King An Le.

He knew that his son had a good relationship with King Anle, and a few days ago he also invested in Nanshan Grange and invested a lot of silver. What's more, with his understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Ren and these people to ask such a question.

Just when Wei Chigong hesitated, Cheng Zhijie stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that this matter is a little strange. If it was really His Royal Highness King Anle who bought the murder, why did he appear at the scene with the killer? Why did Chai Shao's son still escape? The minister believes that His Royal Highness King An Le should be invited to inquire clearly, and not just one-sided words. ”

"The minister also thinks that he should ask His Royal Highness King Anle to come forward and defend himself."

Seeing that Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong both stood up and supported them, several ministers who were good friends with them also stood up. In a moment, there was a clear distinction between the courts and the courts.

Seeing this scene, the anger in Tang Yu's heart also decreased slightly. He ordered the palace guards to go out of the palace immediately and bring Tang Xiao over, there must be no mistake.

In the meantime, let these people kneel!

In the Anle Palace, Tang Xiao had just finished practicing his gun.

The cold air in the early morning was a little heavy, and the single clothes on his body were soaked with sweat, and he really felt a little cold at the moment.

Luluo hurriedly draped a big fur on Tang Xiao's body, and said with concern: "Your Highness, your illness is just right, don't fall ill again." ”

"You girl, if you nag like this, I will marry you to Stardust in the next year."

Hearing this, the green pothos suddenly pursed her lips, her eyes full of resentment.

Today's steamed buns are good, although there is a smell of mutton, but Tang Xiao, who has not eaten steamed buns for more than two months, can still tolerate this flaw.

In his previous life, Tang Xiaoke was a glutton, and he studied various dishes. Under his guidance over the years, Chef Fan's father and son have improved their cooking skills by leaps and bounds, which makes him feel ashamed.

In a few days, the Yunxi Building will be renovated, and let Fan Xiaochu go over to take charge of the big spoon, which will definitely be popular all over Chang'an City.

Tang Xiao thought happily in his heart, and after a while, he ate a basket of steamed buns.

However, seeing Shen Xingchen leading two palace guards over and telling about what happened in the court, the good mood of eating steamed buns was suddenly swept away, and a wave of anger came to him.

"Stardust, bring the horse here!"

Tang Xiao angrily walked out of the palace and galloped towards the palace.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhou Ren and the others had been kneeling for nearly half an hour. Seeing that His Majesty still didn't mean to let them get up, everyone couldn't help but secretly cry bitter in their hearts.

Those white flowers of silver, it's really hard to take!

The hall was so quiet that it seemed to be heard as if a needle had dropped. The ministers all lowered their heads and peeked out of the hall from time to time.

Not long after, a eunuch hurriedly entered the Xuanzheng Hall and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Anle has arrived." ”

"Announce him in!"

Tang Yu's gaze swept towards the main hall, his expression was cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Walking into the Xuanzheng Palace, Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart. He didn't understand, even if the Chai Mansion wanted to take revenge on him, shouldn't this matter be handed over to Dali Temple or Zongzheng Temple first? How could it be brought up in a grand manner?

"Nephew knocks on Uncle Huang!"

"Don't worry, you get up and talk back."

"Uncle Xie Huang!" Tang Xiao kowtowed respectfully, and then got up.

"Don't worry, I advise the doctor Zhou Ren to sue you for hiring a murderer, do you have any objections to this matter?"

"Uncle Huang, my nephew has never done this!"
