Hangzhou City, above the early dynasty. Hundreds of officials gathered, but only Prime Minister Liu Zongyan was missing.

The affairs of the three provinces of Liu Zongyan's subordinates, Zhongshu, and Shangshu were also stranded today. In the past, although Liu Zongyan was seriously ill, he still handled official business with illness, but today there is no news, which makes people wonder.

In fact, people who understand that they have already paid attention to the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now most of the old ministers above the court are human spirits, perhaps, let them deal with national affairs and benefit the people, they sometimes show their inability, but these officialdom battles, what should be done by themselves, what should not be known, they are well aware.

These days, the emperor's mind they have not guessed, every slightest change, they can study for a long time, their rigorous attitude, really as if they are doing scientific research work, dare not have the slightest neglect.

It's a pity that in the end, they suddenly found that in fact, the more they studied all this, the more dangerous it became, and in the end, they understood, and they learned to be obedient, and pretending to be deaf and dumb is the right way.

Therefore, although the news of Liu Zongyan's death is actually known to many people today, no one has raised it.

The emperor looked at these courtiers, frowning, he knew in his heart that these people were a group of old and mature guys, so the emperor didn't expect them to tell the news of Liu Zongyan's death.

After glancing at it with his eyes, the emperor informed Liu Zongyan of his death.

All of a sudden, above the court, everyone was in an uproar, as if the sky had fallen, and they exchanged heads and ears, and there were many discussions, and they were panicked, of course, some of them were really shocked.

However, most people are posturing and posturing.

The emperor looked at all this, waved his hand irritably, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then issued a series of holy decrees, the content of which was nothing more than ordering hundreds of officials to go to hang filial piety, posthumously seal Liu Zongyan, sing praises and so on......

In short, to do the dead people's articles, for the living to see, this kind of face kung fu, is the specialty of these ministers, after the emperor proposed, the ministers have come to the table, adding some things that are not yet complete.

The emperor was already impatient, and after handing it over to a few scholars, he retreated.

Back in the imperial study, the emperor shouted to the eunuchs waiting aside: "Go, call Li Gang, Li Jun, and Ge Chenggang." ”

The eunuch looked at the emperor's face and hurried away, and not long after he left, a person came out behind the screen in the imperial study. The emperor's complexion was not very good-looking.

He tapped lightly on the table and said, "How does it feel to be back?" ”

The person who came was dressed in a gray cloth robe, holding a folding fan, dressed as a Confucian student, his body was a little thin, his lips were a little light, and his steps were unusually gentle, and after walking in front of the emperor, he said: "Life has been in a hurry for decades, and I have been adrift for half a life." I don't have a home anymore, and it doesn't make a difference to me to come back or come over. ”

"It doesn't matter." The emperor said softly: "You have been in the Jin Kingdom for so many years, I have never used you, just let you poison the second child, why are you still pushing back?" Don't you really think of yourself as a golden man? ”

"I did this because I was afraid that you would destroy the Great Wall, then the Liu father and son are loyal to you, why do you have to do this?"

"Slap-" There was a sudden shock, and the emperor slapped his palm on the table with an angry face, and said coldly: "How can I do it, do I still need you to teach?" ”

This matter is now like the emperor's rebellion, and in his heart, he also regrets this matter, but as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can he easily admit his mistakes, not to mention, now that the matter has come to this, there is no way back.

This sentence really touched his sore spot, how can he not be angry.

In the face of the emperor's angry face, the person who came was silent, still understated, and said: "You are now the emperor, so you naturally don't need to be taught to do things." Only, you should know that everything I say and do is for your good. ”

"Enough!" The emperor's eyes widened: "Wan Hansheng, pay attention to your identity." ”

The person who came turned out to be Mr. Wan under the account of Wanyan in the past, and later after he followed Yan Suo, he had been deliberately trying to weaken the national strength of the Jin State, and in the end, Wanyan Man died, which led to the fact that the military commander of the Jin State could be used, which led to the later defeat.

The night before Yue Shao'an attacked the city, he broke away from Wanyansuo and secretly returned to the Great Song Dynasty Hangzhou City.

All along, he was a pawn of the emperor in the Jin Kingdom, and now he was no longer needed there, so he was transferred back.

Wan Hansheng faced the emperor and did not salute, but said softly: "I don't have any identity, even if I have any identity, you gave it, I don't care." ”

The emperor looked at him, his face was a little pale, he thought about it, waved his hand, and said, "I asked you to come today, there is a case for you to try ......."

"Liu Bonan?"

"Yes!" The emperor nodded: "However, I don't need you to interrogate in person, I will give you the post of envoy, and when the time comes, you can only be the overseer." ”

As he spoke, outside the door of the imperial study, a shrill voice shouted: "Your Majesty, Lord Li Gang has arrived......"

"Let him in!"

After a while, Li Gang walked in slowly, and after bowing down, he stood quietly aside.

"Give Li Aiqing a seat."

Li Gang hurriedly thanked him, in the middle of his salute, he turned his head and quietly glanced at Wan Hansheng, seeing that this person actually had no intention of being respectful in front of the emperor, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, who is this person?

While he was thinking, the other two people outside the door also came one after another.

Seeing that the people had arrived, the emperor said softly: "Let me introduce to you Aiqing, this Mr. Wan Hansheng Wan was sent to the Jin State to do internal response when the emperor was in power, and he also made great contributions to the destruction of the Jin State this time, this time, regarding the death of the prince, he will be supervised by him as the Qin Mission, and the three of you will be the chief judge, and you will discuss the specific matters yourself." ”

The emperor said, the other three all looked at Wan Hansheng, who could make the emperor call Mr., and there was only Yue Shao'an in the court, but no one dared to doubt Yue Shao'an's prestige status, even Li Gang, who had always been at odds with him, had to admit it.

Now, there is another gentleman, which shows that this person must not be a good person.

After thinking about this, they vaguely felt that it seemed that Yue Shaoan had some kind of crisis, and they couldn't help but be respectful to this Mr. Wan, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute one by one.

Wan Hansheng looked at them, but his face remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a greeting.

The emperor said, "You can do the rest of the work, and the results will be presented when the time comes." ”

The three of them hurriedly responded, and then, the emperor waved his hand, and together with Wan Hansheng, the four of them quietly retreated.
