In view of the fact that the other party was not small, Xie An had to go out to greet him in person, after all, one of those two people was a doctor of the imperial history.

Therefore, no matter what Xie Anxin is like, the routine etiquette and politeness must be done sufficiently, so as not to be caught, and the trouble is not small.

Xie An also knew very well the intention of the two, these two Shangguan of the Central and Central Plains came to the Great Prison Temple this time purely to make trouble for him, otherwise, their two sons had been imprisoned in the Great Prison Temple for less than two hours, how could they have learned the news?

But this time, Xie An guessed wrong, Wang Kun, the left deputy governor of the Imperial History Inspector Chasi, and Zhang Ling, the Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, did not come prepared, they deliberately wanted to embarrass Xie An, and they did come to get their son back. Chapter 61: Discord and Convulsion

As for the trouble that the crown prince Li Wei instigated for their two sons to come to Xie An, these two ministers of the court actually knew about it, but they didn't care about it before, after all, in their opinion, although Xie An was the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple on the fifth grade, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was able to get them to go out in person?

It wasn't until Wang Han and Zhang Jie's servants waited outside the Great Prison Temple, but they didn't see their son-in-law leave the mansion and hurriedly reported to the two of them, that the two of them were shocked to learn that Xie An had detained their two sons in the Great Prison Temple without any regard for their face.

It's no wonder that as soon as Xie An appeared, the two officials sneered.

"Xie Shaoqing is really a big shelf, such a big official!" Wang Kun, the left deputy governor of the Imperial History Supervisor Cha Si, sneered.

As soon as the words fell, Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, Zhang Ling also sneered and said, "What Lord Wang said is extremely true! If you don't take me and other officials in your eyes now, in a few years, I'm afraid you won't even be in the eyes of today's saints, right? ―― Shaoqing of the Wupin Prison Temple, but he didn't salute when he saw Shangguan, how could it be reasonable! ”

"Lord Zhang laughed, Xia Guan was about to salute the two of you......"

Zhang Ling's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said angrily, "So Chapter 61 is said to be divided and shocked, isn't it the official's?" ”

The adult laughed...... Xie An accompanied him with a smile, but those who were familiar with him knew that when Xie An usually had a faint smile on his face, most of them were already very angry in his heart.

Needless to say, looking at the two senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee with angry faces, Xie Anxin secretly had a ghost idea.

In all fairness, if Wang Kun and Zhang Ling had spoken politely, Xie An would have been able to ignore their past suspicions and let go of their two unsightly sons, but now......

Under Zhou Yi's puzzled gaze, Xie An respectfully welcomed Wang Kun and Zhang Ling into the third hall, and also instructed the officials to bring chairs and serve fragrant tea for the two of them.

Seeing this, Wang Kun and Zhang Ling saw this, and the anger on their faces eased slightly, and they sat on the chairs in a big way.

Looking at Xie An's groveling appearance, Zhou Yi was greatly shocked.

Just when Zhou Yi secretly thought that Xie An was afraid of the power of Wang Kun and Zhang Ling, suddenly, Xie An, who was sitting in the position of the chief judge, changed his complexion, and slammed his hand with a calm face.

"Ascension!"

"Ascension?" Wang Kun and Zhang Lingzheng took the teacup from the hands of the officials, and were stunned when they heard the words, but when they saw Xie An's face sank, they sneered and said, "Didn't you hear what the official said?!" ”

Xiang Qing, who acted as a servant, had long known that Xie An would not give in so easily, and when he heard this, he laughed secretly and shouted [mighty], and the five officials were stunned, but they also followed.

Raising his hand and pointing at Zhang Jie's father, the third-rank official of the Central Committee of the DPRK, and Zhang Ling of Zhan Shifu, Xie An said lightly, "Who is in the hall?" Why are the drums sounding? Let's take it into detail! ”

Wang Kun and Zhang Ling were stunned, they didn't expect that as soon as Xie An sat in the seat of the chief judge, they would judge the two of them.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ling frowned and said, "Today, this official and Lord Wang came together for the son of the two of us, I heard that Xie Shaoqing put the two of them in prison, but is there such a thing?" The last four words were quite strong, as if questioning Xie An.

Xie An sneered when he heard this, and said lightly, "Lord Zhang, right?" Who are you talking to? ”

Zhang Ling was stunned, frowned at Xie An and said, "Naturally, it is ...... with Xie Shaoqing" However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie An.

I saw Xie An's face sank, and he slammed the shocked wood in his hand, and reprimanded angrily, "You know how to talk to this official, why are you still so presumptuous?!" ”

"You ......"

"This official is the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, and when he was promoted, the official was the biggest...... This official Nian is also an important minister in the court, and he is doubly polite, but what about you, Lord Zhang? It's so pleasant to hold a tea cup! Don't Master Zhang know that even if you are a member of the Third Rank, you still have to get up and talk back to this official in this Great Prison Temple?! ”

"Okay, Xie An!" Zhang Ling was furious when he heard this, and glared at Xie An angrily, Xie An pursed his lips and sneered, and said lightly, "What? Isn't what the official said wrong? ――Do you want this officer to go to the Criminal Department and the Department to confront you? Not to mention the Criminal Department, even in front of His Majesty, this official is justified! ”

Zhang Ling is the minister of the third rank of the court after all, and he knows the privileges of the Zhengqing and Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple when they are promoted to accept the case, even if they are not angry in their hearts, they have to put down the teacup, get up and speak, and repeat Fang Cai's words again, and the tone of the words has slowed down a little.

However, the anger in his eyes could only be alleviated in the slightest.

Xie An licked his lips.

"Lord Zhang, this official asks you...... Not? Why can't Master Zhang get up? Did you forget it so quickly? ”

Even though Zhang Ling's face turned red, he had to get up and arch his hand and said, "What advice does Lord Shaoqing have?" ”

"Ah, look at me, I was interrupted by Lord Zhang, and the official actually forgot what he wanted to say...... Sit down, Mr. Zhang! ”

"You!" Zhang Ling was furious when he heard this, glared at Xie An hatefully, and sat back in the seat, but he didn't expect that he had just sat down, Xie An called him again, and when Zhang Ling stood up reluctantly, he saw a hint of a playful smile flashing in Xie An's eyes, and said with a smile, "Oh, this official forgot again...... Sit down, Mr. Zhang! ”

Zhang Ling trembled angrily, sat on the chair again, and before he could sit firmly, Xie An spoke again.

This time, he didn't want to get up again.

The corners of Xie An's mouth raised a little smile, and he said lightly, "Lord Zhang, about your son-in-law, this official wants to hear Lord Zhang's opinion...... Not? This official is talking to you, why doesn't Lord Zhang get up and reply, is it because he can't despise the court?! ”

"You...... Do you dare to play tricks on your own officials? Zhang Ling was angry in his heart, and glared at Xie An angrily, so far, where would he not know that Xie An was deliberately playing tricks on him, in order to repay the party, he used words to squeeze Xie An, and asked Xie An to salute him This arrow of revenge.

"Teasing?" Xie An shrugged his shoulders, looked very innocent, and said lightly, "Lord Zhang, you can eat this meal indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, if you want to talk about evidence in everything, there is no evidence, that is, slandering the imperial court officials, in other words, there is no national law, and there is no ...... the son of heaven."

"You!" Zhang Ling's face flushed angrily, pointed at Xie An and said, "Evidence? You just told the official back and forth to stand up and sit down, isn't that a joke on the official? ”

"What Lord Zhang said, this official is the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, when he ascended to the hall, the official was the largest, and the official asked Lord Zhang what he said, and Lord Zhang naturally had to get up, this is a courtesy! Isn't what the official said wrong? ”

"And how do you explain that you have been back and forth so many times?"

"Well, I can only blame Lord Zhang, the official has been paying attention to the anger on Lord Zhang's face, and for a moment he accidentally forgot what he wanted to say in his heart......"

"Strong words! - You're clearly playing tricks on your own officials! ”

"Hey! - Master Zhang, don't want to spew blood, you said that the official was playing you, but there is evidence? Mr. Zhang asked the teacher about the guilt this time, and the official personally went out of the house to greet him, but also asked someone to bring a chair and serve fragrant tea, from beginning to end, he was respectful to Mr. Zhang...... In this way, is Master Zhang still not satisfied? - Don't deceive people too much! ”

Too much deception?

Who is deceiving people too much?

Zhang Ling couldn't say a word angrily, seeing this, Wang Kun, the left deputy governor of the Imperial History Supervision Cha Si next to him, helped his colleagues speak, and opened his mouth to say, "Xie Shaoqing, this is yours......

"This is the left deputy governor of the Imperial History, Wang Kun, right?"

Seeing Xie An's gaze looking at him, Wang Kun frowned slightly and said, "It's this official!" ”

With Zhang Ling's experience in front of him, Wang Kun subconsciously thought that Xie An was preparing to attack him, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

However, to his surprise, Xie An's face was full of smiles, and he arched his hand and said politely, "It turned out to be Lord Wang of the Imperial History Overseer Chasi...... Lord Wang sat down and replied, Lord Wang's prestige, the lower officials have heard of it for a long time, and when I saw it today, I am very fortunate and very lucky! ”

Wang Kun was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't understand what Xie An was trying to do.

Suddenly, his heart moved.

Could it be that the kid was afraid when he saw that he was an official of the imperial historian?

Thinking of this, Wang Kun smiled faintly, his expression became more and more proud, and he opened his mouth and said, "Lord Shaoqing has said it, this official is just a third-grade courtier, and in this hall, he is no more noble than Lord Shaoqing......"

"What did Lord Wang say," Xie An waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Although he is also a third-grade official, but Lord Wang is walking in the Imperial History Prison, how dare the lower officials slack off?" ”

Really! This kid is afraid of his position as the Imperial Historian!

Wang Kun was secretly proud in his heart, and said lightly, "Since this is the case, the official's dog ......"

"Deservedly, deservedly! Lord Wang rest assured, the official will ask someone to invite Wang Gongzi right now......" Xie An said very politely, but he secretly sneered in his heart.

Could it be that he was really afraid of Wang Kun's position as the left deputy governor of the imperial history?

Of course not!

Xie An is just playing a trick on Wang Kun!

is also a senior official of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, Xie An deliberately held Wang Kun very high, but he was not polite to Zhang Ling in every way, in order to provoke the dissatisfaction in the latter's heart.

To put it bluntly, sow discord, divide these two ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and break them one by one!

Some people may think that Wang Kun and Zhang Ling are also ministers of the DPRK and China who have been in officialdom for a long time, can they be so easily deceived?

However, in fact, man is such a wonderful creature, and when faced with unfair treatment, he tends to be more inclined to the one who hates the gainer.

Just like right now, although Zhang Ling was extremely dissatisfied with Xie An's neglect of himself, when he saw that Xie An was extremely polite to his colleague Wang Kun, he felt a kind of anger in his heart as if he had been treated unfairly.

is also a third-grade official, why can you Wang Kun be so respected by this kid, but I am ridiculed by him in every way?

This is obviously the truest portrayal of Master Zhang Lingzhang's heart at the moment, especially when he noticed the leisurely and smug look on Wang Kun's face, the anger in his heart was particularly obvious.

I have to say that even if he is a long-tested minister of the DPRK and China, he is inferior to Xie An for a long time in terms of psychology, after all, psychology is the knowledge summarized by countless scholars and experts on human nature, and it is quite profound and brilliant science.

Sure enough, when he heard Xie An's deliberate provocative words, Zhang Ling frowned unexpectedly.

"What about the official's son?"

"Well...... seeing the other party's plan, Xie An deliberately put a little coldness on his face, and said lightly, "Lord Zhang's son, this official has not finished interrogating ......"

Obviously, he is also a third-grade official, but the treatment he received is different, Zhang Ling's face sank completely, and he said unswervingly, "What does Xie Shaoqing mean by this?" is also a crime, why should the official's dog ask for the crime in prison, and the son-in-law of Lord Wang can be acquitted? ――This official is the Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, if Xie Shaoqing does not give this official an explanation, this official will definitely give up! ”

To tell the truth, Zhang Ling's words were originally aimed at Xie An, but the speaker was unintentional and listened to it intentionally, Wang Kun felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, but because the two of them worked together for the crown prince Li Wei, they didn't want to make any extraneous branches.

Xie Anxin smiled secretly, and deliberately said to Zhang Ling with a straight face, "What kind of face does Lord Zhang put on this official?" - Zhan Shifu? Hey! It's just the secretary who serves the family members of the East Palace, and it's hard to say, but why are the domestic slaves and servants of His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace so arrogant, and they are not afraid of making people laugh! ”

"You...... You, the little Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, actually slandered Zhan Shifu? ”

"Slander? Amusing! - Lord Wang, are you speaking fairly, this Zhan Mansion is the secretary who serves the family of the East Palace? Can the lower official slander half a sentence? Xie An deliberately led the troubled waters to Wang Kun.

"This ...... That's what I said, but it's not very appropriate for Lord Shaoqing to say this......" Wang Kun's face showed a little embarrassment, firstly, Xie An was extremely polite to him before, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person; Second, what Xie An said was the truth, why not a slanderous word.

"You see, Lord Wang thinks so too!" Xie An summed up Wang Kun's words out of context.

"Wang Kun, what do you mean?" Zhang Ling looked at Wang Kun in disbelief.

Glancing at Xie An, who seemed to be on his side, Wang Kun frowned and glanced at Zhang Ling, seeing that his colleagues from the same prince's faction were so rude to him in front of outsiders, he was also secretly angry in his heart, frowning and saying, "What did the official say?" This official is just talking about things! What do you do in Zhan Shifu, everyone in Jijing knows......"

"Wang Kun, who is also a third-grade official, you don't rely on the fact that you are the person of the imperial history supervisor, so you will play a score against Zhang!"

"You! Don't let Lord Zhang spew blood, in front of everyone's eyes, did Wang ever say that you Lord Zhang didn't say a word? Saying that, looking at the angry gaze of his colleagues, Wang Kun reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his head to Xie An and said, "Lord Shaoqing, the dog and the son of Lord Zhang committed the crime together, and Lord Shaoqing only released the dog alone, this is really a bit inappropriate, I hope Lord Shaoqing ......."

"Well...... Xie An deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, glanced at Zhang Ling, and after hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's for the sake of Lord Wang's face......

Seeing that Xie An was so knowledgeable, Wang Kun was satisfied, but when Zhang Ling heard it, he was even more annoyed in his heart.

Thinking about it, he is also a third-grade courtier, can he Zhang Ling be reduced to relying on Wang Kun's face to be a man?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling looked at Wang Kun's eyes, faintly revealing a bit of resentment.

Xie An deliberately pretended not to see it, coughed, and said to the officials as if fanning the flames, "Why don't you invite Lord Wang's son out quickly?" - Oh, yes, yes, and Lord Zhang's son, for the sake of Lord Wang's face, let it go together! ”

"Yes!" When the officials heard this, they immediately went to the prison and released Wang Han and Zhang Jie.

Not long after, the disheveled Wang Han and Zhang Jie were escorted to the hall by the officials.

Wang Kun took a closer look, and saw that his son was disheveled and embarrassed, which was a little unswerving, but when he saw the bloodstains on Zhang Jie's buttocks caused by the torture, his heart was relieved for a long time.

But he is comfortable, but Zhang Ling is not comfortable.

is also a third-rank official in the DPRK, and the two sons also deliberately came to cause trouble, why did one use war punishment, but the other was not damaged at all?

Thinking back to Xie An's respectful appearance to Wang Kun just now, Zhang Ling's anger was uncontrollable, and he hugged his son and looked at Xie An and Wang Kun angrily.

As soon as Xie An saw Zhang Ling's expression, he knew that this person was on the verge of breaking out, and said deliberately, "Zhang Jie, if it weren't for Lord Wang to intercede for you today, this official will definitely not spare you!" -- If you come to cause trouble next time, this official will not be polite! ”

Sure enough, Zhang Ling was furious when he heard this, glared at Xie An angrily and said, "Okay, good, Xie Shaoqing, today's matter, this official will definitely have a good reward one day!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Wang Kun intentionally or unintentionally.

When Wang Kun saw it, his face immediately sank, although he was silent, but he was particularly angry in his heart: Okay! I kindly rescued your son, and you are still so rude to me?

The change in the expressions of the two of them when they looked at each other, Xie An saw it clearly, and while smiling secretly in his heart, he raised his hand and pointed to the plaque above his head, and said lightly, "Lord Zhang, look at the plaque on the top of the official's head, have you ever heard the three words [I care]?" ”

Zhang Ling frowned, puzzled, looked up at the plaque engraved with righteousness and light, and was about to speak, but saw his son Zhang Jie trembling, pulling his father's sleeve and saying again and again, "Father, don't say it, take the child back to the house......"

Obviously, this invincible son of a gentleman was tossed miserably by Xie An.

"You wait!" Reprimanded Xie An angrily, Zhang Ling glanced at his colleague Wang Kun who came with him when he came, snorted coldly, and ignored the latter and left with his sleeves.

Xie An secretly glanced at Wang Kun's expression, and saw him looking at the departing Zhang Ling with a blue face, and smiled secretly in his heart.

"Lord Shaoqing, since this is the case, my father and son will leave......"

"Lord Wang's words are serious, Lord Wang doesn't care about the rudeness of the lower officials to the prince, and the lower officials are grateful...... Speaking of which, that Zhang Zhan is really rude, Lord Wang helped him so much, he was so uninteresting......"

"Hmm......" Wang Kun nodded slightly, frowned and said, "Zhan Shifu has always relied on them to be His Royal Highness the Prince's cronies, and they are ......waiting for me" Speaking of this, he suddenly woke up to something, coughed, and said with a smile, "Look at this official, what do you do to say these irrelevant things...... Lord Shaoqing, today's matter, after the official goes back, he will definitely teach the dog a good lesson and be angry for Lord Shaoqing......"

"Lord Wang's words are serious, and the lower officials feel that if it weren't for Zhang Zhan's son instigating it, how could Wang Gongzi do such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself?" Saying that, Xie An glanced at Wang Han, who was sulking alone, and deliberately shook his head and said, "You see, it is said that Wang Gongzi is quite friendly with the son of Zhang Zhan Shi on weekdays, but the son of Zhang Zhan Shi is so ......ruthless" As he spoke, he told Wang Kun how he decided, but he just skimmed over some things.

As Xie An expected, Wang Kun frowned when he heard this, and asked his son in a low voice.

"Really?"

Wang Han's heart was still full of anger at being betrayed by Zhang Jie at this moment, and he nodded hatefully when he heard the words.

"How can it be!"

Looking at Wang Kun and Zhang Ling, father and son, who seemed to be out of breath when they came, but when they went back, they seemed to be strangers, Xie Anxin secretly laughed.

It's really funny, provoking these guys......

Ah, no, no, no, wouldn't I be like that crazy woman if I went on like this?

Xie An patted his chest secretly, for some reason, he seemed to understand the eldest grandson Xiangyu a little, and understood why she was keen to provoke people's hearts.

However, when he thought that he had made Wang Kun and Zhang Ling almost turn against each other, Xie Anxin still felt a little proud.

Seeing that Xie An quietly resolved the harsh criticism of Wang Kun and Zhang Ling, the two third-grade officials in the court, it made the two of them almost turn against each other, whether it was Xiang Qing, Luo Chao, or Zhou Yi, or the five officials in the hall, they were all secretly frightened, and they also had a further understanding of Xie An's ability.

This Lord Shaoqing is really a ruthless character who is not easy to get along with!

Thinking of those officials of the Great Prison Temple who were not dealing with Xie An, Zhou Yi couldn't help but have a smile of schadenfreude on his face.

After that, there was nothing to do, and before he knew it, in the evening, Xie An finally finished reviewing the thick stack of case files, and he dragged his tired body back to the Donggong Mansion with Xiang Qing and Luo Chao.

After all, the ghost girl named Jin Ling'er is still thinking about his Xie An's head and lives outside the mansion, not to mention that Liang Qiuwu is not at ease, even Xie An himself is a little frightened.

Laughing all the way to the front hall of the Donggong Mansion, Xie An saw Liang Qiuwu sitting in the main hall talking to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and from the side, the other two deputy generals of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army, Yan Kai and Chen Gang, were also there.

Xie An originally planned to tell his wife what happened today, but looking at Liang Qiuwu's expression, he instinctively felt something, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

I saw Liang Qiu Wu frowning and sighing slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I just got the news from the Ministry of War, when Uncle Lu's son, Lu Fan and Lu Keting, led the army to attack Hangu Pass, where the rebels were located, a thief killed him alone in the chaos and cut Brother Lu under his horse......"

Xie An was shocked when he heard this, and the whole person froze, muttering to himself in a low voice.

"Won't you...... So accurate? ”

Liang Qiuwu was stunned and asked in surprise, "An, what did you say?" ”

"No, no, it's nothing......" Xie An shook his head again and again, but looking at his expression, it was a little unnatural.

"Really? Isn't your face quite right? What's wrong? Liang Qiuwu asked with some concern.

"It's really okay, it's really ......" Shaking his head, Xie An diverted the topic and asked, "Is the martial arts of the son of Nanguo Gong very poor?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Luo Chao say in a deep voice in his usual indifferent tone, "Above me!" ”

Looking at Luo Chao, Xie An wondered and asked, "Then how could he be killed by someone in the midst of thousands of troops?" ”

"I can't figure it out!" Frowning slightly, Liang Qiuwu shook his head and said, "As one of my four towns, Brother Lu has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, it is hard to imagine that he will be killed on the battlefield, and among the many guards, he was killed by one person alone......"

"There are such people in the rebels?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu asked in surprise.

"I've never heard of it before," Liang Qiuwu shook his head slightly, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "If the battle report is true, then ...... The thief general who killed Brother Lu, most of his martial arts are above me and His Royal Highness...... Unbelievable! ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent, everyone knew that Liang Qiu Wu and the four princes Li Mao represented the highest combat power of the Great Zhou, however, a rebel general with no name had martial arts comparable to Liang Qiu Wu and Li Mao, or even more than the two of them, how can this be convincing?

"I'm afraid the war situation in the west is not good......"

As Liang Qiuwu said, half a month after Lu Fan's death, the morale of the Luoyang rebels became higher and higher, and the troops went out of Bishui Pass to counterattack Yuzhou.

A few days later, Yang Ying, the general who temporarily took command, was also slashed off his horse by the thief who killed Lu Fan on the battlefield, nearly 100,000 thieves broke through Daliang, 20,000 southern troops fell into the camp and lost most of them, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were also killed and wounded.

At this point, the soldiers and horses of the Luoyang rebels in the west were defeated and retreated on all fronts, and they could not form an army.
