Chu Huan was stunned, he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the palace, the emperor would give him a slap in the face, and he didn't know what was wrong for a while, and he saw Xu Congyang Tai calm and calm out of the corner of his eye, Ma Hong's face showed a bit of schadenfreude, and he knew that he was probably in trouble, but he still kept calm and replied: "Return to the saint, minister...... I don't know what crime I am committing! ”

The emperor was expressionless, and said slowly: "Chu Huan, you married a good daughter-in-law!" ”

Chu Huan's heart tightened, and the first thing he thought of was Qiluo.

As an envoy of Great Qin, he sent an envoy to Xiliang, but he married Talange of Xiliang, although this is all a mistake, but after all, it has become a fact, it seems that the emperor is going to settle accounts after the autumn.

"Holy Lord, that Tarange ...... Xiliang!" Chu Huan was about to explain, but the emperor had already interrupted: "I didn't say her. Xiliang, Xue Huai'an has already made it clear to me that it is not your fault. And as an envoy of Great Qin, marrying the princess of Xiliang is not a shameful thing, and it does not insult the national body. After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "But I heard that there is still a wife in your mansion, and I heard that this woman used to be your sister-in-law, but is there such a thing?" ”

Chu Huan said: "This is indeed the case. ”

"Chu Huan, you did a good thing." The emperor sneered: "I always thought that even if your character is not outstanding, you are not a despicable person, I can't imagine that you will take your sister-in-law as your wife, can you be guilty?" ”

Chu Huan's expression was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "The minister doesn't know the crime!" ”

Ma Hong immediately said on the side: "Lord Chu, you did something wrong this time. Our officials of Daqin attach great importance to Qingyu, there are so many women in the world, but you are ...... Hey, Lord Chu, you're really confused. His face showed a look of regret, but his eyes were completely gloating.

Xu Congyang finally said: "Uncle Zhongyong, was your wife really your widowed sister-in-law in the past?" ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Then why did she become your wife again?" Xu Congyang frowned and said: "This is immoral, damaging the great virtue, don't you know?" ”

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said: "Shengshang, Lord Xu, it was indeed the widowed sister-in-law of the minister, but before the minister married her, my Chu family had already taken her out of the house!" ”

Xu Congyang said: "In this way, you are not married to a widowed sister-in-law?" ”

Ma Hong immediately said: "Master Xu, you can't say that, as the saying goes, one day is a teacher, a lifetime is a teacher, since you used to be a sister-in-law, you can't break all your feelings because you leave the house." Xia Guan heard that before Lord Chu married his sister-in-law, they had always lived together and taken care of each other, and that relationship was not a ...... that was not there! ”

Chu Huan heard Ma Hong say this, and suddenly understood that it seemed that Ma Hong had provoked this matter.

Ma Hong's words were really sinister.

He said nicely what it means to take care of each other, but if it is not known. True. People who look like know that they will suspect that Chu Huan had already had an affair with his widowed sister-in-law before marrying Su Niang.

Chu Huan sneered, but looked at Ma Hong and asked: "Ma Butang, Su Niang was divorced, and her mother was in charge, and she was married to the lower officials, dare to ask, has this touched my Daqin's royal law?" According to my Great Qin's law, how should I punish the crime? ”

Ma Hong was stunned, glanced at the emperor, and then said, "What's this...... Although it did not violate the royal law, it was immoral, Lord Chu was an official of the imperial court, and if this kind of thing was spread, it would eventually make the imperial court lose face......! ”

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled: "Ma Butang is wrong. Xia Guan has encountered ups and downs, many years can not serve his parents, for several years, are cheap inner filial piety, Ma Butang can send someone to Xia Guan's hometown, inquire about the cheap person, you will know her virtuous and filial piety. Her parents are no longer alive, and before her mother died, she was worried about her fate, so she promised to marry Xia Guan, saying that it was a family matter, but it might as well be said that my Chu family owed her kindness, and Xia Guan had already promised her mother that no matter what, she must take good care of her. ”

The emperor stroked his beard and said, "Chu Huan, I want you to divorce her again!" ”

Chu Huan was stunned and frowned.

"You are now in the court, and your reputation is important." The Emperor said slowly: "If you still want a future, don't let her get involved in you. Today I give you a choice, either divorce her, and I will definitely use it for you in the future. Either...... Take your widowed sister-in-law, leave the capital, dismiss the official, never hire, don't say that I didn't give you a chance, how you want it, it's up to you to choose. ”

Chu Huan didn't think about it, and immediately said: "Thank you to Shengshang Longen, Weichen will go back and pack his luggage now." ”

The emperor frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"The Holy Lord has given the minister a choice, and the minister has already made a choice." Chu Huan looked at the emperor, "The Holy Lord wants the ministers to keep their reputation, and the ministers follow the order, and only by leaving the capital can they keep their reputation." ”

Ma Hong frowned and said, "Lord Chu, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The minister didn't know what the minister's crime was, but now the minister already knows." ”

"Oh?" The Emperor asked with interest, "What crime have you committed?" ”

"If the minister chooses to divorce his wife and stay in Beijing, he will have committed an unpardonable sin." Chu Huan raised his head, "Not long after the minister and Su Niang got married, for the sake of their own future, they divorced and gave a wife, which is a crime of unchastity." Before the mother left, she instructed the minister to take care of the lowly family, but the minister divorced his wife without authorization, which is a crime of unfilial piety. Su Niang is kind to my Chu family, and the minister does not remember his kindness, and forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, which is an unrighteous sin. It is a crime of disloyalty to have these three sins, but still want to serve the country and be brazen. He looked at the saint, "The saint is very kind to the minister, if the minister divorces his wife and stays in Beijing, the four sins are in his body, he has failed the saint's kindness, so the minister can only choose to leave!" ”

Ma Hong opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, he really didn't expect Chu Huan to be so sharp-tongued.

The emperor's face did not change, and he sneered: "These are all your words, I ask you, in your eyes, a woman is more important than my reuse?" ”

"The state has a foundation." Chu Huan's face did not change, "The Holy Lord governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, and the ministers will never dare to let themselves fall into the state of inhumanity and injustice, that is the real way to live up to the Holy Lord's kindness." ”

The air in the Hall of Light suddenly became tense for a moment.

After a while, the emperor suddenly laughed, Chu Huan was surprised, but when he saw Xu Congyang also smiling, he saw the emperor say to Xu Congyang: "Scholar, it seems that you really know Chu Huan, you guessed right, Chu Huan is sometimes a donkey, yes, there is a little shadow of me, and ten cows can't pull it back." ”

Chu Huan was surprised, Xu Congyang had already smiled and said to Chu Huan: "Lord Chu, if you really divorce your wife and stay in Beijing, don't want to leave the palace today, the saint is always loyal and righteous, and the saint has never been soft on the unkind, fortunately you chose the right answer yourself, otherwise this head will not be saved." ”

Chu Huan understood this, the emperor asked whether the crime was false, and the temptation was true, if he valued his career and took a leave of absence, it would be a catastrophe.

It's just that he is a little strange, the emperor is scheming, and it is not strange to tempt his courtiers, but if it is dark today, this old guy does not want to cultivate or rest, but he sends someone to summon himself into the palace to tempt, is it really full of food and support, idle and idle, pulling Xu Congyang to test himself to play? He knew that this was of course impossible, although the emperor was not a good day, but he had absolutely no spare time to do such boring things, since he did this, he naturally had his reasons.

But when he saw the emperor caressing his white beard, a rare smile appeared on his face: "Chu Huan, I have always felt that I have not looked at the wrong person, and you have not disappointed me." You are right, I rule the country with benevolence and righteousness, I want my courtiers to know the word benevolence and righteousness, that woman is kind to you, if you abandon her for your own future, then you are a real despicable person. He waved his hand and said, "Come on!" ”

A eunuch immediately appeared from the side, holding a jade plate in his hand, the emperor waved his hand, the eunuch had already carried the jade plate to Chu Huan's side, the emperor had already said: "This is my congratulatory gift to you, this golden plum hairpin is only qualified to be worn by the concubines in the palace, I have never rewarded the courtiers, today I will reward your wife, I hope you can respect each other as a guest." ”

Chu Huan was surprised, in his heart, the emperor was cold and gloomy, but there were few such warm moments, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.

After Chu Huan thanked him, he received the golden plum hairpin given by the emperor, this hairpin is very beautiful, the whole body is pure gold, the hairpin head is the shape of plum blossoms, vivid, between the plum blossoms, it is a round ruby, Ambilight, and it is worth a lot.

"Chu Huan, I summoned you here because I have something for you to do." The emperor groaned slightly, and finally said, "But I don't know if you have the courage to go." ”

Chu Huan wondered in his heart, it was okay for the emperor to send him to do things, why did he ask if he had the guts? But he still said respectfully: "I don't know what the Holy One wants the ministers to do?" The Holy One has commanded him, and the ministers should do their best to live up to the Holy Lord's trust! ”

The emperor was very satisfied with Chu Huan's attitude, and looked at Xu Congyang, Xu Congyang had already signaled Chu Huan to get up, and then said: "Chu Huan, the saint is going to let you go to Anyi Dao, and as a messenger, go to confiscate all the Huang family's wealth in Anyi Dao." ”

Chu Huan was stunned, a few days ago he was still talking to Lang Wuxuan about Anyi Dao, after the Huang family's rebellion, Jing's family wealth was jointly confiscated by the Ministry of Household and the Criminal Department, but I don't know if the Huang family's hometown has also sent someone to raid the house? Today, the emperor summoned himself, and he actually asked him to go to Anyi to copy his house, which Chu Huan really didn't expect.

"Isn't Anyi still sending someone there?" Chu Huan was a little surprised, the matter of Tongtian Hall was almost ten days past, how could the imperial court move so slowly, and the action against Anyi Dao would only start today.

The emperor's expression had become cold, Xu Congyang's expression had become ugly, and after a period of silence, Xu Congyang finally said: "The Holy Lord has already understood the Huang family's treacherous schemes, and before the incident in Tongtian Palace, he had secretly sent people to Anyi Dao, ready to attack Huang Tianyi and his party in Anyi Dao at the same time, and ...... wiped out Huang Tianyi and his party in Anyi Dao!" ”

Chu Huan asked, "Then Huang Tianyi has been arrested now?" ”

Xu Congyang shook his head and said, "The Holy Lord sent two Shenyi Guards Baihu to secretly go to Anyi Dao with people, preparing to contact Yuan Chongshang, the governor of Anyi Dao, to make a move against the Huang family, but ...... Just two days ago, news came from the other side of Anyi Road that Huang Tianyi had reversed and gathered thousands of people to enter Yusuo Lake to hide......! ”

Chu Huan's face sank, and he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, the emperor sent the Shenyi Guard to arrest Huang Tianyi, and now Huang Tianyi not only was not arrested, but gathered his subordinates to hide in the Yusuo Lake, which showed that the operation of the Shenyi Guard, who had always acted quickly and resolutely, failed.

"The current movement of the Divine Guards ......!"

"The heads of the two god-clothed guards were sent to the governor's yamen." Xu Congyang's expression was solemn: "The people sent by the Holy Lord to Anyi Dao have ...... annihilated the whole army!" ”
