Zhu Houxi's movements froze, his brows furrowed slightly, he really didn't expect that his words would cause such a strong reaction from Yan Song. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but that's fine, I hope Yan Song can give himself more explosive material...

"But Zhong doesn't have to be so excited, say it slowly, say it slowly...", Zhu Houxi raised his sleeves slightly, signaling Yan Song to get up and speak, but Yan Song was quite tenacious, still kneeling there, ready to die.

Listening to Yan Song's emotionally charged narration, Zhu Houxi didn't have much turmoil in his heart, because he knew many things. Maybe some of his words touched his heartstrings, but because Zhu Houxi already had a plan for Xia Yan in his heart, his mood fluctuations were not great.

In fact, Zhu Houxi still admires Yan Song a little, an old man cries when he says he cries, and he cries when he says he sheds tears, which is also a kind of kung fu, although he regards this as a ridiculous practice, but it is difficult for him to know Yan Song's real bitterness. To some extent, Yan Song's tears are real, he is really not easy...

"Your Majesty, Xia Yan's various things in the court really make the ministers complain in their hearts, but no matter what, Xia Yan should not be disrespectful to Your Majesty!" , Yan Song had been observing Zhu Houxi's expression just now, and he also knew that those words just now had little effect, so he had to come up with this prepared "big killing move".

"On that day in the court, Xia Yan did not wear a green leaf crown, and because of this, he contradicted the saint...", Yan Song had just told Zhu Houxi that Xia Yan had taken private revenge on himself for this matter, so he omitted the "credit" of his dissuasion, "The saint is benevolent, and he forgives Xia Yan's actions." But he did not repent, and he still had a word of resentment in private. Xia Yan is the first assistant. It's okay to call us around, but he despises His Majesty. What a heinous sin! ”

Aoba crown! Zhu Houxi's heart was shocked, he was too familiar with this matter, he really couldn't forget it. In fact, he was not angry about that incident, he couldn't wait to directly demote Xia Yan back to his hometown in Jiangxi, but he couldn't, the emperor sometimes has the helplessness of the emperor.

At this time, he heard Yan Song say that Xia Yan still had resentment in private, although he didn't know if what Yan Song said was true, although he knew that he couldn't show too obvious anger in front of Yan Song at this time, but he just couldn't control it.

Aoba crown. Qingye Guan, Xia Yan violated his majesty as an emperor in this matter, he really deserves to die, if he doesn't mention it, as long as he mentions it, Zhu Houxi's hatred suddenly comes to his heart: Xia Yan is really hateful!

"Well, I know...", Zhu Houxi's answer was a little nasal, as if he was deliberately suppressing his emotions.

He took another sip of the thick milk tea. He liked the taste of fat and sweetness, but Tao Zhongwen told himself that cultivators should pay attention to this, so he gave up the heavy meat he loved so much, and drank this very strong dessert instead.

In fact, this dessert is also not good for the body. Although Zhu Houyu knew, Zhu Houyi deliberately ignored it. The so-called hiding of people's eyes and ears is like this, but it is just covering one's own eyes and ears. More precisely. This practice is called covering your ears and stealing the bell.

In fact, sometimes Zhu Houxi is also contradictory, since he has become an emperor. You should indulge all your desires to enjoy, but you have to restrain your desires to prepare for the great cause of cultivating immortals.

The so-called struggle contradiction. It is also difficult to avoid the emperor who is high above. Although the struggles are different, they are all essentially the same, because by nature, we are all human.

Yan Song naturally observed this change in Zhu Houxi's expression, and he quietly told himself in his heart that the opportunity had come, and with more effort, he would definitely succeed!

"Your Majesty, the minister has another matter to report to Your Majesty. According to the minister's investigation, there is a hidden reason why Guo Xun, the Duke of Lingguo, died in prison, and there are all kinds of connections with Xia Yan behind this! ”

"Huh?" , Zhu Houxi was shocked again. In fact, Zhu Houxi did not suspect it, he also suspected that Guo Xun's death was related to Xia Yan, but after a series of verifications by the Three Law Divisions, the final result was that Guo Xun died in prison.

Still suspicious, Zhu Houxi finally chose to believe this conclusion, or he would rather believe it, because he did not want to believe that a minister had the ability to put a current prince to death under his nose.

"This... Hasn't the three legal divisions already verified it clearly? Zhu Houxi frowned, slightly displeased, "How can Aiqing have any evidence to prove this... Something to do with Xia Yan? ”

Of course, Yan Song has no evidence, and even if he can, he doesn't dare to show it. After all, this case involves too much, and if the case is overturned, I am afraid that many ministers of the DPRK and China will work against them and secretly add fuel to the stumbling block, and I am afraid that they will have to steal chickens and rice.

But he knew that what Zhu Houyu really wanted in his heart was not evidence, but an explanation, and Zhu Houxi didn't have the leisure and energy to turn over the case and verify it again. After all, most of the relevant personnel in this case have been punished, and it was Zhu Houxi's personal order. If the case is overturned, wouldn't it make Zhu Houxi admit that he made a mistake in the case and was a confused emperor? Zhu Houxi couldn't do this kind of thing, Yan Song figured this out, so naturally he was not afraid of anything without evidence.

"Your Majesty, at that time, the Three Law Divisions were involved in this matter, and they were also afraid of taking responsibility, if it was really found out that there was another hidden result in this matter, wouldn't the personnel of the Three Law Divisions also be severely punished? With this in mind, it is impossible for the three divisions to draw other conclusions. ”

Yan Song's words, Zhu Houxi understood. Indeed, letting the three law divisions investigate this matter really has the meaning of "thieves shouting to catch thieves", and Zhu Houxi naturally thinks deeply about Yan Song's analysis.

"But when I was handling Guo Xun's case at that time... Xia Yan is no longer above the court...", Zhu Houyu remembered very clearly, Xia Yan happened to be a scholar at that time, and Zhu Houyu was glad that Xia Yan was not in the court, so that the two would not fight to the death, and his will would not be interfered with.

"Your Majesty, although Xia Yan was not in the court at that time, it doesn't mean that he can't play an effective role in the court...", Yan Song saw Zhu Houxi walking step by step into the "trap" of his own steps, and there was a stronger and stronger sense of accomplishment in his heart, "At that time, when he was trying his best to play, there were also Dong Hanchen and others. They all have a teacher-student friendship with Xia Yan, Your Majesty should have heard of this, right? ”

"Well... That's it...". Zhu Houxi responded a little mechanically, but he pondered his own things in his mind: Did Xia Yan have another secret at that time? I remember that I ordered Xia Yan to resign at that time. Xia Yan didn't seem too reluctant. Thinking about it carefully, most of the officials who were arguing with reason at that time did have a close relationship with Xia Yan. said that this case has nothing to do with Xia Yan at all, and Zhu Houxi can't deceive himself like this. In this way, he was deceived by Xia Yan, and he deliberately put on a posture to avoid suspicion, in order not to let himself suspect him...

Zhu Houxi was so smart, Yan Song's two sentences naturally made him understand the joints, and he was suddenly enlightened about some things that he was unwilling to study in detail at the time. But he was a man who was so clever as to be conceited that he was willing to admit that he had been deceived and deceived by a minister?

"Guo Xun is not unusually impeached. Many imperial histories can't get along with him, and if you want Gao Shi and others to try their best to impeach him, it may not be that there is a reason...", Zhu Houxi said in a low voice, and he was not in the mood to take a more sip and take a look at the fat and sweet taste in front of him.

"Huh? What's going on, Your Majesty? How have you been excusing Xia Yan? Yan Song couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and his worries naturally became heavier and heavier, but when he raised his head again to observe Zhu Houxi's expression. Everything is clear: Zhu Houxi is not defending Xia Yan, but defending himself!

Zhu Houxi's expression, his inadvertent action on the back of his hand, all showed one point: he already understood this. also put together all the information from his own words, but he didn't want to admit it, because how could a dignified emperor be deceived by a minister?

Even if you are really deceived. Nor can it be said. It's a pity that this is the emperor's helplessness, he doesn't want to be deceived. But he is sure that every day he will be deceived by many ministers in all sorts of ways, because there is only deception. to get what they want.

If it is a stupid emperor, it is okay to live freely in this kind of deception, but a smart emperor like Zhu Houxi is another kind of sorrow. He has seen through most of the deceptions, there are smugness, there are disappointments, there are bitterness... So when he understood a deception that he hadn't seen through, the biggest feeling in his heart must be anger, although he didn't have a seizure, but he definitely couldn't bear it, because he was a unique emperor!

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, this may be that the minister is too arbitrary...", Yan Song hurriedly lowered his head and changed his tone, "It's just that the attitude of the three law divisions on this matter was too repetitive at that time, so the minister had doubts about this. And the minister had heard some rumors in private... Say yes... said that the officials of the Criminal Department were forced to do something as a last resort under pressure at that time... The rumors stop at the wise, and it is thought that the ministers are too ignorant, so that they confuse the saints, and it is really sinful..."

"It's okay, it's normal to have doubts...", Zhu Houxi sat up straight and regained the composure and majesty of an emperor, "If you really count it, it is not unreasonable to say that Guo Xun's case is suspicious..."

"Yes, Ling Guogong was in good health before he was imprisoned, I really didn't expect that in the end... Alas, it's embarrassing...", Yan Song responded again.

"Okay, this matter is over, don't mention it again...", Zhu Houxi waved his hand, even his body turned to the side, and the waiter immediately picked up the dust knowingly, walked towards Yan Song in broken steps, and was about to send him out.

"I have already written down what Aiqing played, and I should be rewarded for my loyalty and deeds, but I am a little tired today, and I will pay attention to it in the future..."

Yan Song heard Zhu Houxi say this, so naturally he didn't want to say more, so he had to bow and walk out slowly.

He couldn't say happy or worried in his heart at this time, because Zhu Houxi didn't give himself a clear answer. But he believed that he had said everything that needed to be said, and Zhu Houxi should finally give himself a clear answer.

"I'll take care of it in the future", since he made this promise, it means that he will not give up on this. It's just that he still needs time to think, after all, it's not a trivial matter, how can he be so hasty? has said that it will definitely be an ending in favor of oneself. Just like after the palace examination that year, Yan Song walked out of the palace with vigor and high spirits...

Looking at the back of Yan Song's departure, how could Zhu Houxi not understand his intentions, but he didn't want to say it: it was just a big game of chess, but he didn't know who made whose chess pieces.

"Although Xia Yan does not form a party, its power and harm are worse than that of forming a party...", Zhu Houxi tasted the words that Yan Song said when he complained, and gradually had a plan in his heart: Xia Yan should indeed be beaten and beaten, but this Yan Song can't make him too proud, he is born from the same root, why is he too anxious to fry each other, just see which of you is more willing to be a good chess piece in my hand... (To be continued.) )
