Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The god of war of the Qi Kingdom fell, and the oldest of the three great masters in the world returned to the west; Since the hereditary opening of the dynasty, the only Guogong has lost his life, and the Xie family, who is famous in the Qi country, has broken the incense, which is enough to shake the government and the opposition.

And now, not only did the two things happen together, but there was also a constant relationship during the period.

In the palace, Li Yu yawned and his face was full of sadness. And next to him, Wen Lianghou Liu Gong has been nagging about something.

From the evening, Liu Gong came to find him, he didn't even drink a glass of water, and he was long-winded until late at night. And what he said was very simple - let Li Yu send troops.

Thinking that his life was in Tang An's hands, Liu Gong had no reason not to sell his life. As for the consequences of sending troops - will he care? As long as you can live freely, what does it matter whether you send troops or not?

He moved with emotion and reason, but he still moved out of Tang An's set of rhetoric. In fact, this rhetoric is quite convincing.

can not only get a large piece of land, but also exchange for the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and can also raise the watchdog of Datang to guard the country for Daqi, why not? At first, he was just worried about his own life, but when he said it, even Liu Gong himself was moved. He even guessed that his suggestion was likely to change the pattern of the world, and his name would be engraved on the list of virtuous ministers in the future.

Li Yu admitted that he was very excited, but when it came to the transfer of the army, he secretly had a headache. Thinking of the chain reaction of the war between the chariots, horses, grain and grass, he felt that his head was as big as a fight, and the indecisive and timid temperament of the faint monarch was vividly reflected in him.

So, the two discussed until midnight, but there was still no result.

Li Yu's weakness annoyed Liu Gong greatly, and later, the two quarreled, and finally Liu Gong left angrily.

************************************

Hanging himself from a tree is obviously not Tang An's style. Putting all your hopes in a sinister villain who sells ass for a living is not reassuring enough.

Therefore, after visiting Liu Gong, Tang An went to the doctor's house again.

Pang Guangda originally wanted to avoid it, but who knew that Tang An didn't believe the lie that he was not in the mansion at all, so he broke in bluntly. And when he made it clear that he was coming, the latter was even more worried.

Unfortunately, he had no choice at all.

When Pang Guangda was buried in the study to search for the sins that Xie Yuan had committed over the years, the news of the Jixia School Palace finally reached the imperial court - Wei Zhongtian's soul returned to the heavens and died at the age of 100!

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shaken.

Some people lamented, some people were sad, and some people thought of the changes caused by the deaths of Wei Zhongtian and Xie Yuan, and began to act secretly.

An incomparably long night passed, and the dawn dispelled the darkness of the night and brought a ray of light to Linzi City.

On the streets and alleys, people who are running for a living are still employed. They won't give up their lives because they've lost a nearly forgotten grandmaster, just as they won't have nothing to talk about because they don't have the romance of Grandpa Guo.

What has really changed is the interior of the palace.

The court officials who received the news early were still before dawn, so they gathered together early. There are some things, it is better to communicate in advance than to cramming temporarily, and if you accidentally stand on the wrong team at that time, I am afraid that it is a trivial matter to not protect the black yarn.

Morning.

The palace of resplendent gold is a dark cloud.

Li Yu's face was solemn. Before going to the court, he had already sent someone to summon Tang An and asked him again about what had happened the day before.

Of course, Tang An would not stupidly admit that he was a murderer, but pushed everything onto Wei Zhongtian, who was already an ancient. There was no flaw in his statement, and according to the information provided by the Jixia School Palace, the person concerned was "knocked unconscious" by Xie Yuan.

From this, it is not difficult to see that Xie Yuan does have the intention of killing. As for the reason, it is naturally to cut off the possibility of Daqi sending troops to aid Tang. In previous contacts, many people were able to perceive his position.

So, the facts were finally revealed to the world-

For his own selfish interests, Xie Yuan instigated Wei Zhongtian to meet Tang An, and secretly wanted to kill the killer. Master Wei had to meet a good talent, and he had no choice but to clean up the portal, but due to the transition of attrition, he returned to the west.

Such a statement is the most acceptable statement for the courtiers, but it must not be announced to the world.

Therefore, after discussions in the early dynasties, the ministers formed a unified voice.

Master Wei died at the age of 100 and his merits were complete.

Dingguo Gong suddenly fell ill and died violently at home.

After discussing the important matters, the ministers began to move.

The two gray-haired old men glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, "The minister has something to do." ”

"During the reign of Xie Yuan, the Duke of Dingguo, in order to obtain benefits, he used his identity to make a big fuss. There is an organization under his command, called 'Jade Gate', and the women under his door are all charming and enchanting. In order to win over the courtiers, Xie Yuan has given the women of the Yumen and the ministers as slaves and concubines many times. The ministers are worried about their power, they can only be false and wronged, and their hearts are miserable! ”

"The minister also has a plan to play! Xie Yuan is known as a famous person in the Great Qi Dynasty, and the folk are known as their "spring is listening to the rain building, summer solstice Cuihe Village, autumn is in the Maple Leaf Valley, and winter reflects the flower pavilion". But as far as the minister knows, these four other courtyards were forcibly obtained by him from the original owner of the other courtyard by dirty means. People are afraid of his name and power, and they dare not offend it in the slightest, so they can only endure the pain and cut it off. ”

"Your Majesty, Xie Yuan is greedy and has dealings with most of the rich people in Linzi. As long as he is in the industry, he must be run with others, but in fact, he does not have half the capital, but in the end he has to ask for high dividends, and the businessmen are full of complaints! ”

"According to Wechen, he has a killer unit under his command, called 'Grimace'. If anyone disagrees with him, he will secretly kill him! Lord Wang of the Ministry of War and Lord Li of the Ministry of Officials are the souls of their swords! ”

"Xie Yuan is narrow-minded, and if he has revenge, he will take revenge......"

"Your Majesty, this thief has brought disaster to the country and the people, and heaven will not tolerate it! Now that God has opened his eyes and taken it away, it is a great omen for me to remove a piece of carrion! ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's good luck and inspiration, I can be the fortune of my great Qi and the eternal prosperity of the country, and the evil from outside can not enter."

……

The reason that the wall is down and pushed by everyone, these people have always been self-taught. As the first person stood up to accuse Xie Yuan, everyone was involved in the gossip, as if they were embarrassed to stand in this position without scolding him for a few words.

They all forgot that when Xie Yuan was still there, who didn't politely grovel when they saw it?

When people die, the lights go out, and the tea is cool.

Some of them were trying to curry favor with Liu Gong, because everyone knew about his relationship with Xie Yuan; There are also some people who see that the fall of Xie Yuan's party is a foregone conclusion, and they are eyeing several important positions and preparing to install henchmen; There are also people who sneer at his closed-door policy because of disagreement with him, and are optimistic about the land that Datang is about to cede.

Of course, it also includes poor worms like Pang Guangda who have a handle in the hands of others and have to work for others against their will.

But no matter what, after these people said it, it made people feel that Xie Yuan's crimes were heinous, and his crimes were simply unspeakable. The old guys' tearful accusations are like the little daughter-in-law who has been insulted by a wicked man, and they can't help but be moved.

Li Yu's fists were clenched white, and his pale face was full of anger.

He used to just dislike Xie Yuan, but he never imagined that he would commit such a big sin!

"Grimace" and Yumen were both powers that he knew, and he thought that they were all his own things, and Xie Yuan was just managing them on his behalf. I didn't expect him to be like a commander, and really regarded these as his own forces! Not only that, but he still dares to collect money so blatantly, does he think of himself as a deaf and blind man!

In fact, that's what everyone thinks. It only takes two sycophants to keep the glory and wealth, and when you need him, he will become a shelterer to help you consolidate your position; When you don't need him, he will close his eyes and become a puppet in the royal robe, how can such monarchs and traitors not like it?

"Y-why didn't you tell the widow about this earlier!"

An angry roar made the boiling hall of the vegetable market suddenly quiet. Everyone pondered a little and began to complain again.

"Wechen was forced to accept the favored concubine helplessly, I'm afraid that he will use this as an excuse to falsely accuse Wechen!"

"Weichen remembered that it is not easy for the Xie family's incense to be passed down to this day, and he can't bear to be loyal and virtuous for a generation."

"Wechen is worried that if he tells the truth, will he be slaughtered by his killers like Lord Wang and Lord Li......

Everyone has a point, everyone has a concern. Seeing their crying and complaining appearance, Li Yukong had a belly full of anger, but he had nowhere to vent.

At the end, he finally stood up trembling and said angrily: "Take back the glory of the hereditary prince of the Xie family—he is not worthy!" All his family members were distributed to Northern Xinjiang, and all his property was confiscated! Give the widow a good check, how many of his comrades he still has, and how many shady things he has done! ”

Finally waited for this sentence, and the courtiers who each had a small abacus were suddenly overjoyed. The fall of a giant means that many people will be unlucky, and many others will reap more benefits.

But in the presence of His Majesty, who is angry and ignorant, they must appear to be pleasing and convinced.

Countless intrigues, countless power dumps, but in the end, they were exchanged for an extremely "sincere" bend over, and a false eulogy.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Yu's words had basically announced Xie Yuan's downfall - even if he was dead, fortunately he was dead.

If Xie Yuan heard all this with his own ears, he didn't know if he would collapse. What was he doing to collect gold and silver, work hard, and win over courtiers? It's not about maintaining your position and keeping yourself influential enough to make the right voice when your majesty is instigated by the courtiers.

It is not ironic that a person whose heart is devoted to governing the country ends up with such a tragic end.

His premonition before death was not wrong, without himself, the decline of the Qi Kingdom would only get faster and faster. The once powerful country that was enough to compete with Xia Tang has disappeared in the long river of history.

Solving Xie Yuan's problem, Li Yu seemed to fall into extreme anger and couldn't extricate himself, the ministers had achieved their goal, and naturally they would not touch his brows at such a time, and the entire court fell into an embarrassing silence.

Everyone can not speak, but Liu Gong cannot.

Now he has got everything, power, money, status, beauty, all of which he wants. What is the most important thing for such a person?

Alive.

As long as he lives, he can continue to enjoy a fairy-like life. But now, he can feel that the "poison" in his body is eroding his internal organs and consuming his life force.

Thinking about Tang An's threat before leaving yesterday, Rao was still angry with Li Yu in his heart, he still took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is still one thing that should be decided as soon as possible." The proposal of borrowing troops proposed by the Xihou of Datang Town was discussed by His Majesty on the same day after the end of the grand meeting. The matter is serious, and I hope that Your Majesty can come up with the results as soon as possible, so that you can reply to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. ”

As soon as he heard this, the courtiers exploded again.

Without Xie Yuan's influence, the ministers began to express their opinions in a big way. Those who want to make money from the war are in agreement, while those who can't get oil and water and want to do it in vain find all kinds of excuses to stop it.

"Don't make any noise!"

The noisy quarrel made Li Yu feel extremely depressed. He waved his hand and said with an unhappy face: "What is the situation in Datang, can you just listen to Tang An's words?" Xie Yuan left a dark line in Datang at the beginning, who can get in touch? ”

What happened when Feng Zhilan went to Datang, some people know it. But such an important chess piece, how could Xie Yuan fake others?

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Li Yu scolded "waste" in his heart and said, "This matter is very important, and we must not deal with it hastily." In this way, let's send someone to the border of Datang to explore the truth and make a decision. If it is indeed difficult for the Tang Dynasty to support, it is not too late for us to send the army of benevolence and righteousness to the expedition. ”

"Not too late?" Liu Gong frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Western Regions are far away, and it will take countless hours to come and go. What's more, the war is changing rapidly, maybe when the spies send back the information, Datang has already been defeated, what is the point of us sending troops again? Your Majesty, please think again! ”

"Enough!" was repeatedly bumped into by Liu Gong, and Rao is Li Yu regarded him as the meat of his heart, and he couldn't help but get angry.

What annoyed him the most was that he could push himself so hard in the court just because of a quarrel? When he was most helpless and hesitant, what he sent was not a gentle comfort, but a cruel knife! The love of the past lingers, did it come in exchange for these in the end?

Glaring at the lover fiercely, Li Yu almost gritted his teeth and said, "If the widow says to do this, then do it!" Retreat! ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

The ministers saluted at the same time, some smiling, some frowning, and all kinds of emotions varied. Only Liu Gong had a worried face, and snorted fiercely at Li Yu's back, muttering: "Faint Jun! ”
