Say goodbye to the Nine Princesses, sail out of the palace and join Wuying and others. Originally, he planned to go to Situ's mansion at night, but he changed his mind because he found the words written by the emperor, found an inn in the city, and stayed.

Yuanhang lay alone in bed and carefully recalled what had happened. So far, I'm afraid that the denial will not be possible, so I can only push the matter on Chen Pai, saying that there is no proof of death, who let you die.

After careful consideration, Yuanhang called the three shadowless people in. The four of them gathered at the table, Yuanhang whispered, and the three of them listened carefully and kept nodding.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yuanhang put on his official uniform, cheered up, and left the inn and went straight to the palace. Along the way, passers-by watched and pointed, and they had never seen officials walking in the court.

After walking for a while, Yuanhang felt a fever on his face, and he was a little embarrassed. In addition, this official uniform is fat, and you have to carry it below every step you take, otherwise you will knock yourself down when you step on it.

There is a bamboo sedan chair parked next to a shop, which is a sedan chair tied to two bamboo poles. Yuanhang saw a man squatting next to the sedan chair, walked up and asked, "This sedan chair is yours?" ”

The man looked up and was startled. There was a young man standing in front of him, wearing a wide official uniform, looking nondescript. He replied, "Yes, what do you want to do?" ”

"I'm going to hire this palanquin." The voyage touched for a long time and found a piece of silver, I am afraid that it is enough to weigh two or two. He put it in his hand and handed it over, and said, "Is it enough?" ”

The man's eyes lit up, and he got up and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"It's not far away, just go around the city." Yuanhang was afraid to go out of the palace, but this man didn't dare to go, so he coaxed and said.

"Holo." The man stepped forward cautiously, took the silver from Yuanhang's hand like a thief, and turned to the shop and shouted, "Dog, come out quickly, come to business." ”

A young man in the store walked out carrying a package, tilted his head and shouted, "What's the hurry, I'm not taking the goods." ”

The man stepped forward and took the package on the dog's shoulder and threw it on the ground, and hurriedly said, "I'm here to visit, this won't be delivered." ”

"Ah, this ......"

"Come and carry the sedan chair." The man pushed him, turned around and bent down to Yuanhang and smiled: "Please get on the sedan chair." ”

Yuanhang stepped over the bamboo pole and sat on it, although it was a little hard, it was much better than walking on his own.

The voyage was commanded above, and the two men below walked forward as he said. On the road, I met a lot of official sedan chairs, all of which went in one direction, and the sedan chair of the voyage was particularly conspicuous among them.

"Voyage!" When approaching the palace, an official sedan chair and a bamboo sedan chair for the voyage walked side by side, and the officials inside were Zhan Hu. Zhan Hu unintentionally opened the sedan curtain, and saw a person sitting above the bamboo sedan chair on the side, much taller than himself, and then took a closer look, it was actually Ye Yuanhang.

Yuanhang looked sideways and looked down, oops, old acquaintances.

"Haha, Lord Zhan, it's always been good." Yuanhang was condescending, and said to Zhan Hu.

"Okay, okay." Zhan Hu raised his hand high and returned the salute with a fist.

"What are you? When will you go back to the back hall? ”

"I just arrived yesterday, no, I was going to visit you in the middle of the court, and I happened to meet on the road." Yuanhang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go to the old man's place after scattering, and let's have a pot of drink." Zhan Hu grinned and whispered, "Your father-in-law's good wine has been almost bottomed out by me, haha." ”

After walking for a while, when I arrived outside the palace, the officials had entered the palace from the side door to wait, and dozens of official sedan chairs were lined up at the sedan chair on the left side of the palace gate.

"You have also seen that I am an official of the DPRK and China, and I only hired you because the sedan chair man in my family was sick today and there was no one to carry the sedan chair. So go and wait there, and when I come out, send me back. Yuanhang got off the bamboo sedan chair, pointed to the sedan car and said to the two men.

When did those two men see this formation, they regretted it, how could they take over a business and come to the palace. It's just that I don't dare to leave if I want to go at this time, I am an official of the DPRK and China, and I can't see the sedan chair when I come out, and I can't kill someone. I had no choice but to carry the bamboo sedan chair and walk to the end.

"Eh, eh, you're here." Yuanhang looked at the long queue of sedan chairs, and the queue was too far away from the palace gate at the end, and it would take a long time for him to come out. called the bamboo sedan chair back, and said to Zhan Hu with a smile: "Lord Zhan, my sedan chair is narrow and not in the way, so I will squeeze it from you." ”

Zhan Hu looked at a bamboo sedan chair squeezed in next to the sedan chair of the first product, he really couldn't cry or laugh, and shook his head and walked towards the palace.

After waiting in the palace for a while, the eunuch came to announce that the lords were invited to enter the palace.

The voyage is a state garrison, and the official residence is of the fourth grade, so it should be ranked after the third-rank officials to enter the palace. But he couldn't tell how many products each official uniform on his body represented, and when he saw more than ten people passing in front of him, he estimated that it was almost over, so he dodged and squeezed in, and followed towards the hall.

Above the main hall, the emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the officials are looking for their own positions and standing. Yuanhang had just stood firm, and someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, a white-bearded old man was smiling at himself.

"Hello old man." Yuanhang greeted politely. The old man did not speak, but waved his hand back, and stepped forward to stand in the position of the voyage.

Oh, the daredevils have taken your land. Yuanhang laughed dryly and stood behind the old man. Before he could stand firmly, someone patted him behind him. The voyage turned back, this time it was an old man in his fifties. The old man looked at the voyage for a moment, and stepped forward to squeeze it away.

It turns out that the officials in the court have their own fixed positions, and there is no place for foreign officials in the palace, so they can only enter the hall and see the driver in the last row. I didn't know how to sail away, and stood in the first row. One by one, they retreated, and finally the voyage actually withdrew from the main hall.

Grandma's, this breathholder. Yuanhang stood outside the hall and looked at the eunuchs beside him, turned around, turned his back to the hall, and sat on the threshold of the main hall.

"Going to court." With the eunuch's shout, the hundred officials knelt down in unison. Emperor Yin Wen walked out from behind the tent, glanced at the hundred officials in the hall, and slowly sat on the dragon chair. Chen Fu followed behind him and stood aside.

Hey? Who was that, sitting at the door with his back to the main hall? Emperor Yin Wen looked into the distance.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The hundred officials shouted three long live, and Emperor Yin Wen smiled and said slowly: "Zhong Aiqing is flat, who is outside the door?" ”

Yuanhang turned his head to look back, and saw that Emperor Yinwen was already sitting on the dragon chair, got up and knelt outside the hall, kowtowed and said: "Long live the emperor, the minister Ye Yuanhang knocks to see the emperor." ”

"Why did Ye Aiqing see her outside the hall?" Emperor Yin Wen shouted by pulling his neck, his voice was quiet, how could he hear the voyage outside.

"Back to the emperor, the old ministers in the palace bullied me and squeezed me out of the palace." Yuanhang knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly.

Emperor Yin Wen glanced at the ministers in the palace and said with a smile: "Come in, and stand behind the envoy of Zhan." ”

Yuan Hang reluctantly stood up, walked into the main hall and stood behind Zhan Hu. Although it was the second row, it was close to the emperor, and he still pouted at the old ministers in the front row who had just excluded him.

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat."

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a play." Yuanhang watched below, and as expected, Chen Fu couldn't wait to stand up.

Emperor Yinwen's face trembled, and he inadvertently looked at the voyage.

"What's the play?" Emperor Yin Wen withdrew his gaze from looking at the voyage and asked lightly.

"The minister wrote a letter to impeach Ye Yuanhang, the Jiangzhou garrison, for plotting to kill Chen Pai, the deputy marshal of Zhengbei." As soon as Chen Fu's voice fell, there was an uproar in the main hall, and the eyes of the hundred officials fell on Yuanhang. Yuanhang didn't care, smiled and nodded to Baiguan, as if he was not impeaching him, but praising him.

"Your Majesty, Chen Pai died at the hands of Gu Xin, Gu Xin was still Xiao Liang's general at that time, and the soldiers before this incident were all seen with their own eyes, how could it be that Lord Ye murdered?" Zhan Hu was the first to stand up and defend the voyage.

Emperor Yin Wen nodded and said to Chen Fu: "Envoy Chen, I have already written at this time, and it has been a long time, why do you say that Ye Aiqing was harmed at this time?" ”

Chen Fu bent over and replied: "Your Majesty, that Ye Yuanhang is cunning, and when Vice Marshal Chen died, the old minister had doubts. First, what the soldiers said about Vice Marshal Chen and Gu Xin fought dozens of rounds the day before yesterday without a win, but the next day he was killed with one move, which is unreasonable. Second, Gu Xin is a general immediately, and he is good at using a big knife. And Vice Marshal Chen's delicate wound was by no means a big knife, but his life was taken by a narrow sharp weapon, which cannot be explained and is the most suspicious. ”

Emperor Yin Wen pondered for a while and said, "Envoy Chen, now that Chen Plaque has been dead for a long time and cannot be tested, how can you prove that what you said is true?" ”

Chen Fu smiled lightly and replied: "Your Majesty, Chen Pai has indeed been dead for a long time, and he will not avenge himself, but there is one person who can tell the truth." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"This person's name is Chen Si, he was originally a soldier in the army, and he was later sent home by Ye Yuanhang."

Emperor Yin Wen said: "Where is this person? ”

"I'm already waiting outside the palace, please ask the emperor to call and ask." Chen Fu said with hatred in his heart: Ye Yuanhang, this time I see how you turn over, and I will definitely get rid of you to avenge my nephew.

Emperor Yin Wen looked at the voyage, and was very strange in his heart, why did the lord who never suffered losses on weekdays say nothing today, could it be that he had nothing to say, did he admit it? You defend yourself, you don't speak, how did I save you? This is really a minister who is not in a hurry, and he is in a hurry to kill the emperor.

"Ye Aiqing, do you have anything to say?" Seeing that Yuanhang didn't speak, Emperor Yin Wen couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to say, so let's call that person in first and ask before making a final decision." Yuanhang stood in the back row and bent over, and actually had the heart to smile at Emperor Yin Wen.

Emperor Yin Wen glared at him and said, "Take Chen Si to the hall." ”

Chen Si was brought in, his legs kept shaking, and he knelt on the hall with a plop and didn't dare to raise his head.

"Chen Si, raise your head." Chen Fu shouted above.

When Chen Si raised his head, Emperor Yin Wen was taken aback, isn't this Chen Plaque? Isn't Chen Pai dead......

"Your Majesty, this person is Chen Si, and his appearance is extremely similar to Deputy Marshal Chen Pai." After Chen Fu explained on the side, he said to Chen Si: "Tell the truth what you know, if there is half a lie, you will not be spared." ”

Chen Si hurriedly kowtowed, and said in a loud voice: "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare." ”

"On the eve of the battle with General Gu, Lord Ye summoned the small one and said that Deputy Marshal Chen had something to do and left the camp, and there must be no deputy marshal in the army, because I looked similar to the deputy marshal, so he ordered me to wear the deputy marshal armor and live in the deputy marshal camp for one night." Chen Si wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued: "On the second day, Lord Ye ordered me to dress up as a deputy marshal to meet General Gu, saying that I only need to shake it before I arrive in battle. Where is the small one who knows martial arts, he can't lift the deputy marshal's weapon on the horse, so he was beaten to death before he made a move. When he woke up, he had no armor on his body, and Lord Ye gave the small one two silver taels, and sent the small one out of the barracks. ”

"Your Majesty, it can be seen that Vice Marshal Chen must have been killed at this time, Ye Yuanhang was afraid of revealing his feet, so he replaced him, and then used the name of Deputy Marshal to die in battle to cover up his murder." Chen Fu bent his knees to Emperor Yin Wen and said, "Please let the emperor call the shots, severely punish Ye Yuanhang, and avenge Vice Marshal Chen." ”

"Ye Aiqing, what this person said is true?"

Yuanhang strode forward, stood beside Chen Si, and replied, "Back to the emperor, what this person said is true. ”

"Then Vice Marshal Chen was indeed killed by you?"

"Back to the emperor, yes."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Zhan Hu's head buzzed, and he said secretly: Ye Yuanhang, Ye Yuanhang, you are a smart person, and you are confused for a while. So you admit it, do you still have a life?

After listening to this, Emperor Yin Wen couldn't help but secretly praise the voyage, such a scheming, he was able to steal beams and change pillars under the attention of tens of thousands of people, but unfortunately, he was still discovered.

"Your Majesty, can you allow the minister to explain." The face of the voyage did not change, and he raised his head and said loudly.

"What else do you have to say?" Emperor Yin Wen became curious, this is almost ironclad evidence, can you still say the flowers and clear yourself?

Oh, you stinky emperor, I just admit that you don't call me Aiqing, grandma.

Yuanhang cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, Vice Marshal Chen did die at my hands, but I killed him by mistake because of legitimate defense." ”

"Just in self-defense? What is justifiable defense? Emperor Yin Wen asked.

That night, the generals celebrated and drank in Han Juncheng, and Vice Marshal Chen was among them. The minister was too drunk to drink, and he was drunk and asleep. Marshal Situ led the generals back to the camp, and the ministers stayed alone in the city. At night, five people climbed over the wall and assassinated the ministers, and the guards of the ministers resisted vigorously, and the future people were killed. When I woke up, I picked up the lights and took a closer look, one of them was Vice Marshal Chen......" Yuanhang said this, Chen Fu suddenly interrupted him.

"It's nonsense, Vice Marshal Chen has no grudge against you, why do you want to assassinate you?"

"What Envoy Chen said is true, then may I ask, I have no grudge against Vice Marshal Chen, but you say that I murdered him, why should I?" Yuanhang seized the opportunity, looked straight at him, and asked Chen Fu sharply.

"I'm ......" Chen Fu glanced at Emperor Yin Wen, and was speechless for a while.

"Your Majesty, the ministers were very surprised to see that one of them was actually Vice Marshal Chen. The minister knew that Vice Marshal Chen was the nephew of Envoy Chen, so he couldn't bear to write to the emperor. had no choice but to make this decision, so that Chen Si dressed up, so as to give Deputy Marshal Chen a reputation for sacrificing his life for the country, which not only exempted him from the crime of assassinating the overseer, but also gave Chen Si enough face. Who knew that I had worked hard but was misunderstood, and now I ended up being impeached, so I had to tell the truth. After Yuanhang finished speaking in one breath, he was dumbfounded when he heard it. This is obviously ironclad evidence, and the death penalty is inescapable, how can he become a benevolent and righteous person after saying a few words......

"Your Majesty, this Ye Yuanhang is full of nonsense, I can't believe it......" Chen Fu angrily pointed to Yuanhang and shouted loudly.

"Envoy Chen said that I was talking nonsense, but is there anyone else?" Yuanhang said coldly: "I'm afraid it's only this Chen Si who has one witness, right?" ”

This certificate is useless now, it can only prove that Yuanhang stole the beams and changed the pillars, but unfortunately Yuanhang has already admitted it, how else can he get it.

Yuanhang straightened his chest and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have a witness." On that day, the ministers stayed in the city drunk, and the generals under Marshal Situ could testify for me. As for the minister's statement that Vice Marshal Chen assassinated me, the minister's three bodyguards can testify. ”

"Your guards naturally talk to you, is it also a witness?" Chen Fu was angry and said viciously.

"Naturally, I can testify for my ministers." Yuanhang said to Emperor Yinwen: "Before the minister entered the palace, he didn't know about the impeachment, and naturally he wouldn't discuss the matter with the guards in advance, the emperor only needs to send someone to inquire to see if it is consistent with what the minister said, and then he will know whether what the minister said is true." ”

Emperor Yin Wen nodded and said downward: "Liang Sidu, you send three officials to ask Ye Aiqing's guards and present the testimony. ”

"Obey." Zuo Sidu Liang Chengren withdrew in response.

"Your Majesty ......" Chen Fu was just about to step forward to speak, but Emperor Yin Wen waved his hand and said: "That's it for today, and we will discuss it tomorrow, Ye Aiqing can't leave the palace and retreat from the court." ”

"Obey." Long live after the voyage. Zhan Hu was just about to leave, but Yuanhang grabbed him and said, "Lord Zhan, my sedan chair is still outside the palace, please send them away." ”

Zhan Hu looked at Yuanhang, nodded, then sighed, shook his head and turned to leave.

"Hey, you old man, do you want to help...... Yuanhang stood in place and shouted at his back.
