Xu Xun's words were plain, however, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong were shocked at each other, and Zhu Houzhao was even more furious. He almost got up from his seat and pointed at Xu Xun's nose to say something, but his hands trembled for a while, and his mouth squirmed for a while, but in the end there were only a few words that burst out.

"Good...... Hello! After a long silence, he suddenly slapped the table and said sharply, "Why did you burn the things before I asked?" ”

"Seeing that thing, the emperor will only be angry in his heart." Xu Xun stood in front of Zhu Houzhao, his voice was still as steady as at the beginning, "Even if Gonggong Liu has made any mistakes, he has done his best to make up for it with his life, not to mention, he is now dead, why should the emperor pursue these again?" The emperor might as well think about it, what Zhu Chenhao can give to Gonggong Liu, why can't the emperor give it? If it weren't for coercion, Gonggong Liu would definitely not have dizzy and handed his life to others. ”

Although Zhang Yong was a little skeptical of Xu Xun's approach, he hesitated and chose to second the proposal after many tacit cooperations, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Lao Liu has been following you for so many years, do you still not know his character?" Of course, he is a little greedy and a little lonely, but on the one hand, he is the emperor who has served for many years, and on the other hand, he is just Zhu Chenhao, who has received money at most to do things for others, how dizzy must he be to help Zhu Chenhao backhanded? ”

Gu Dayong also smiled and echoed: "Your Majesty, Xu Xun burned something, but I was afraid that you would not be happy, and I asked you to be sympathetic to his hard work...... After all, Lao Liu is dead, maybe that thing is fake at all, just throwing dirty water on him. ”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly fell silent again. Even he couldn't tell if it was anger, regret, or other inexplicable emotions in his heart. Thinking that Ma Yongcheng and the three of them heard about the crimes of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, they immediately arranged how to pull Liu Jin off the horse, and even used the tricks to frame them, and Xu Xun and Zhang Yonggu Dayong had just made it clear that they were not so harmonious with Liu Jin. The three of them all chose to shield Liu Jin in front of him, and their attitudes were very different!

"You all go out and leave me alone for a while."

Seeing that the little emperor had obviously made up his mind, Xu Xun pulled Zhang Yonghe and Gu Dayong to retire. After leaving the house where Zhu Houzhao was staying, he sent Gu Dayong to go to King Ning's Mansion to check the evidence, and when he got to no one, Zhang Yong grabbed Xu Xun's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Even if you promised Lao Gu to protect Lao Liu's family, this is really too much, right?" ”

"Have you thought about it? Even if Lao Liu dies and pulls King Ning on his back, what will the emperor think if he sees such an alliance that divides the world equally? Seeing Zhang Yong's frown, Xu Xun sighed and said, "Lao Liu is sorry for us. But why don't we guard against him? He went wrong in front of the emperor, but in the end, he made up for it with his life, just listening to your reaction when the emperor found someone at that time, I knew that the emperor was forgiving him in his heart. In that case, don't make a fuss. Throughout the ages, we have always been accompanied by the king like a tiger, but we are the luckiest, the emperor delegated power and let go, and he can often do things without constraints. But what if you don't have that trust? ”

Zhang Yong suddenly raised his eyebrows thoughtfully: "You mean, if there is the first, there will be the second?" ”

"Ma Yongcheng and the three of them have already behaved too much before, let's be good people for the three of us." Xu Xun meaningfully patted Zhang Yong, who was more than twice his age, and whispered, "Sometimes, being a good person is far better than being an evil person. Lao Liu's people are all dead, and there are no outstanding talents in his family, so it's good to keep people on the line. ”

"Aren't you afraid that those bosses under you will make a fuss?"

Hearing this, Xu Xun naturally knew what Zhang Yong was worried about. I think that Emperor Yingzong fell in the Tumubao Rebellion. And Wang Zhen died. When the news reached the capital, Wang Zhen's henchmen were almost wiped out at the first time. Some were even beaten to death. Now Liu Jin is no less hated than Wang Zhen, and the scene of the group attacking him afterwards is obvious.

He just thought for a moment and then said: "Before I left, I left a handwritten letter to Zhang Fuhua, Lin Jun, and Kang Hai and a few others, as long as they are a little restrained, no matter how much trouble the people below make, there will be no big incident." What's more, the emperor has lost his temper just now, but after today. No matter how bad Lao Liu is, he will be overshadowed by his previous goodness, and today's last move to sacrifice himself. ”

It's not a bad thing to make a fuss, Zhu Houzhao was thinking about Liu Jin's old feelings, and on the other hand, he knew that he had a lot of badness, and Zhang Cai, who was also appreciated by Zhu Houzhao, was able to smoothly receive the huge political legacy left by Liu Jin in the capital. He doesn't have so much ambition to dominate the court, not to mention that he is already a hereditary marquis, this time when he goes back, maybe Zhu Houzhao will suddenly want to give him a prince of the country, he is only so old that he has already reached his peak, and he will be the target of people in the next few decades? Zhang Fuhua, Lin Han, and other fair and upright people in the clear stream will trust him, but who knows that others will not point the finger at him because Liu Jin is gone? And he is not interested in hiding outside the Saiwai or on the small islands of the South Seas now, he still wants to live a prosperous and prosperous life!

And Zhang Yong didn't think as much as Xu Xun, thinking about it, he felt that although Xu Xun's approach was more merciful, they had already won a big victory, and there were not too many big problems in being a man and leaving a line, so he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Forget it, anyway, the Liu family doesn't have any outstanding talents, just take them lucky!" ”

Xu Xun and Zhang Yonggu don't plan to kill all the grass and eradicate the roots, but it doesn't mean that Ma Yongcheng and Wei Bin Luo Xiang don't want to. recognized Zhu Houzhao, and then experienced such a once-in-a-lifetime thrill, coupled with Liu Jin and Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao dying together, they suddenly saw an unprecedented opportunity. Therefore, when they learned that Xu Xun, Zhang Yong, and Gu Dayong were not in the mansion, but went to Ning Wangfu, Ning Wangfu, and the Nanchang avant-garde camp respectively, they immediately rushed over. Fortunately, except for the guards who were Zhang Yong and Xu Xun's most confidants, others didn't know that they were living here today, so they broke in lightly and skillfully.

When they arrived at the door of the house, Ma Yongcheng and the three of them looked at me, all of them had expressions on their faces, and then Ma Yongcheng knocked on the door gently, but he didn't dare to call the emperor, but just whispered in an extremely respectful voice: "Brother Shou?" ”

"Come in!"

Although the voice inside was extremely cold and hard, the three of them knew with their toes that Zhu Houzhao was not happy after yesterday's turmoil, so no one took it to heart, and pushed open the door and rushed in. When they came to Zhu Houzhao after covering the door, they saw the little emperor sitting coldly at the round table with his chin in his hand, and the three of them immediately knelt down together.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the slave and the maid for ...... before"

"Okay, without further ado, I know what you want to ask. I came with Xu Xun on that boat before, and I didn't want too many people to know, so I didn't inform you! Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly with a very ugly face, and then said lightly, "This matter is not allowed to leak out, if anyone leaks the news, I will ask for his head!" ”

This was already very serious, and the three of them naturally kowtowed in unison and did not mention it. After carefully trying a few words about the topic of Zhu Chenhao, King of Ning, and seeing that the little emperor was really very angry with the second prince who raised troops to rebel after King Anhua, Ma Yongcheng said cautiously: "Your Majesty, King Ning plotted rebellion and rebellion, and the crime is unforgivable, but in the final analysis, if it is not returned to him and his ambition is aroused, it will not cause such a big mess." Forgive the slave maid bluntly, the people of the Ning Fan sent Liu Jin several times in the capital, worth no less than tens of thousands of gold......"

Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly changed. Listening to Ma Yongchengzai carefully listing Liu Jin's corruption and bribery, and there were even some extremely detailed figures in the middle, his face suddenly became darker and darker. Although he had vaguely heard of these things before, he always didn't dare to believe them, but this time when he sent Liu Jin to Jiangnan, he heard Liu Jin admit something in person, and at this time, it would no longer be regarded as a pure frame-up. Even so, he was furious.

I know it, why didn't I say it earlier?

And Luo Xiang saw Zhu Houzhao's eyes that hid his anger, and only thought that Zhu Houzhao hated Liu Jin for living up to the grace of the saint, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, Liu Jin covered the sky with one hand, and none of us dared to screw with him. The slave maid was once ordered to go to Huaiyang, but he forced the inner factory and the slave maid to grab the credit, and squeezed the slave and maid back to Beijing, and then there were repeated runs on it. The slave maid was really angry, so she once left a book in the royal road and wanted to mention the emperor, but who knew that he was a clever talker and almost fell into the emperor's unrighteous ......"

Listening to Luo Xiangxu babbling about how he had taken great pains to remind himself in the past, Zhu Houzhao's face darkened for a while. Dare to love the royal road to leave a book is Luo Xiang did it? are all people around him, what do you have to say directly to him, and you still need such a set of gods and ghosts? This is clearly a yin person who doesn't want to get into trouble, it's even better than a ghost!

In the end, Wei Bin was more clever, seeing that Zhu Houzhao's face was too ugly, worried that it would be self-defeating, he quietly stabbed Ma Yongcheng and Luo Xiang in the back, and finally said bitterly: "Your Majesty, all in all, the slaves and maids mean that the master of ceremonies is an important place for internal officials, and one person must no longer be in charge, otherwise it is really easy to have an accident......

But before he finished his carefully stacked words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't hold back any longer, and actually took the case and said: "Enough, I don't want to hear it anymore!" Get out of here! ”

On the one hand, Xu Xun and Liu Jin were also quite incompatible, but they took a big risk to burn Liu Jin's incriminating evidence, and they didn't say anything bad about Xu Xun in front of him; On the other side, as soon as these three saw Liu Jin's bad luck, they all came up and fell into the well, what did they want to do?

They have been with him for so long, but he still knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart!

This sudden outbreak of the anger of the Son of Heaven caught Ma Yongcheng and the three of them off guard, but in the face of Zhu Houzhao, whose face was flushed, the three looked at each other for a while, and after all, no one dared to dissuade and argue, so they could only stand up on tiptoe and retreat. When they got out of the house and closed the door, before anyone could speak, they only heard a bang from inside, obviously Zhu Houzhao had dropped something.

Faced with this situation, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other. Thinking about how miserable they were pressed by Liu Jin at the beginning, now it's time to recover those old debts!
