Chapter 340: Reversal of Public Opinion

The next day, the emperor had not yet asked what was going on today, but there was tension between the civil and military officials.

What is this for, the emperor is naturally clear, so he pretended not to see it, and asked as usual, "I don't know what important things you Aiqing is playing today?" ”

The civil official adhered to the belief that the first strike is the strongest, and took the lead in standing up, "Your Majesty, now the rumors about Wei Xiyue in the capital are intensifying, which has seriously affected the imperial court, and the ministers hope that the Holy Lord can cancel Wei Xiyue's entry into the court as an official!" ”

The emperor pondered for a while, and before the emperor could speak, a military general at the Xinzi level took the lead and said loudly, "Holy Lord, this must not be." The things that the saint has promised, everyone in the world is watching, you have no jokes, if Wei Xiyue's entry into the court as an official is canceled like this, then in the eyes of the world, isn't the holy word like child's play? ”

"It's just nonsense! Is it possible to lose the face of the court for a sentence that the king has no jokes? Whether it is the importance of the society or the importance of a so-called commitment, don't you know clearly? The civilian officials also fought back without showing weakness.

"Wei Xiyue is the number one in strategy, his talent, many of you may not be as good as him, why not let him become an official? Will this also be harmful to the country? I think some of you are weak-hearted and don't dare to accept people who can be stronger than you! ”

The civil officials and the ancient officials insisted on their own words and quarreled endlessly, but the emperor had no intention of stopping them, so he sat on the dragon chair like this, with a faint expression on his face, as if he was completely out of the matter, and looked at them quietly, without saying a word.

And the civil and military officials were arguing, and no one noticed the emperor's face, only the crown prince and Huo Zeyu had been paying attention to the emperor's movements.

They also wanted to participate in the debate, but when they saw the emperor's expression, they knew that the emperor was not in a very good mood, and they all chose to stay out of the matter like the emperor.

This matter was originally instigated by the prince and Huo Zeyu, but now it is gone, the prince and Huo Zeyu are in front of them, and the civil and military officials suddenly quarrel more intensely, and even not only limited to Wei Xiyue, but also personally attacked.

The emperor wanted to wait until they were quiet, but looking at them like this, he knew that if they continued to quarrel like this, there would be no need for this early dynasty to open, so he said, "Enough! What's the difference between you arguing like this and a three-year-old? Give me silence! ”

Only then did the officials react, and after looking at each other, they looked back at the emperor again, and saw that the emperor had an angry look, so they hurriedly stood back in their positions, and changed back to the silent appearance when they first went to court.

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, sighed and said, "What you said, I will consider it, but there are some people, don't go too far." ”

When the emperor said the last sentence, his voice sank, and he slowly glanced at the general.

This look was also taken in by the crown prince and Huo Zeyu, who had been paying attention to the emperor's movements.

They knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the generals' efforts to defend Wei Xiyue, and they became more and more sure that the emperor would cancel Wei Xiyue's entry into the court as an official.

"Is there anything else to do now?" The Emperor asked.

But everyone was worried that they had touched the emperor's mold at this time, so no one spoke.

Seeing that no one answered for a long time, the emperor said directly, "Since there is nothing to do, then let's retreat." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and left directly, after the emperor left, the court suddenly changed from the original silent to a loud voice, listening carefully basically just before the quarrel was over, and the civil officials and generals were scolding each other.

The crown prince and Huo Zeyu naturally wouldn't be like them, the two just glanced at each other, and then they both turned around to leave the hall, but they both happened to hit their shoulders when they were about to go out.

So Huo Zeyu took the lead in provoking the conversation, "Brother Huang, I don't know how Feiyue has been doing lately?" Recently, my father doesn't seem to be using you very much, and the prince's mansion must be quite difficult, so you must not treat Concubine Yue badly. ”

The crown prince didn't smile for a moment, "Concubine Yue is my side concubine after all, how about her, she shouldn't be able to worry about the fourth emperor brother." No matter how hard the Prince's Mansion is, it should be a little more generous than the Four Princes' Mansion, and the Fourth Emperor's Brother should worry more about himself. After all, it's not that I can't win my father's appreciation, but I just disdain to be sympathetic by pretending to be pitiful like some people. ”

Huo Zeyu's smile just now suddenly froze on his face, but he quickly reacted and showed an impeccable expression again, "It seems that I underestimated the ability of the imperial brother, but since the imperial brother is so powerful, why can't the imperial brother completely defeat Wei Xiyue and them?" Just relying on those rumors, and your supporters in the court, I'm afraid it's not enough, right? ”

"Although they are important to deal with Wei Xiyue, they are not important yet, let me use all my strength in this matter, Fourth Emperor Brother, Imperial Brother advises you, it is best for you to manage yourself, don't always meddle in other people's affairs. If you have the ability, you can take down Wei Xiyue and them before me. The prince's expression was already a little cold at the moment.

Huo Zeyu laughed even more, "Yes." ”

After saying this, the two of them left in opposite directions.

After going back, the two of them were not idle, they each instructed their subordinates, increased the speed of spreading rumors, and strived to let Wei Xiyue's entry into the court as an official be canceled as soon as possible.

And what happened in the court today was relayed to Wei Xiyue by Huo Lingxiao in great detail.

After finishing speaking, Huo Lingxiao looked very worried, and asked Wei Xiyue again, "The current situation is already very unfavorable to you, don't you plan to take care of it?"

Wei Xiyue looked at Huo Lingxiao, but smiled, "It's already planned, and now the time has come, we can meddle in this matter." "

So Wei Xiyue told Huo Lingxiao all about her plan, and waited until the rumors were at their peak, that is, when Wei Xiyue was about to stand up.

A few days later, the controversy in the court about whether Wei Xiyue can enter the court as an official is still as fierce as before, but the difference is that this time, Wei Xiyue appeared.

After the civil and military officials saw Wei Xiyue, the court that was like boiling water before seemed to have been thrown into the ice, and they couldn't make a gurgling sound at all, and it was the prince who spoke first.

"Wei Xiyue, why are you here?" The prince asked with a frown.

Wei Xiyue smiled back and asked rhetorically, "I heard that the court has been arguing all day long about my affairs, and now the emperor's order has not yet left work, that is to say, in the near future, I will still be your colleague, let me take a look, why not?"

When a civil official heard Wei Xiyue say this, he immediately snorted coldly with his nose, "Who wants to be a colleague with an unfilial person like you?" People like you, no matter what, don't want to compete with us?"

Wei Xiyue was not annoyed, and turned her head to look at the civil official, "I heard that Lord Li's mother has only been dead for less than three months, and Lord Li has returned to the court because of 'winning love'. If Lord Li is really so filial, now that the three-year filial piety period of Lingtang has not yet passed, why don't Lord Li take off this black yarn hat and go home to serve filial piety?"

Hearing Wei Xiyue say this, the civil official suddenly fell silent.

Wei Xiyue said this and glanced around with a smile, and saw that no one spoke again, so she opened her mouth, "Actually, I came today to clarify the untrue rumors about me in the capital in recent days, I appeared in the court today, and it was also the emperor's answer, since you have no objections, then I will start to say." "

"First of all, there are rumors in the capital that I have made the old lady angry, which is completely nonsense. The old lady's health was not good, I was just because I went back to the Wei Mansion and went to the old lady to say goodbye according to the custom, but I didn't expect that soon after I left, the old lady fainted, and the people who wanted to have a heart were arranged to make me angry The old lady, and even the people with a heart, spread these rumors in the capital.

I don't need to say what these people want to do, so I don't need to say it, my third uncle and aunt, as well as the masters in the academy, can prove these things for me. After Wei Xiyue finished speaking, she glanced at the expressions of the civil and military officials.

The look on the civilian official's side can be said to be all suspicious, while the military general's side seems to be quite happy.

In fact, today's matter was specially asked by Huo Lingxiao to the emperor, including this and the clarification of the matter. The emperor didn't want to be seen in his mind, so he agreed.

And under the arrangement of Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao, these days in the capital are spreading the feats that Wei Xiyue made before, Huo Lingxiao even invited a storyteller to talk about what Wei Xiyue has done every day, and now there are fewer and fewer rumors about Wei Xiyue, and the rumors have gradually overshadowed them.

Wei Kemu and Xiao, as well as those academy masters who were invited by Wei Xiyue, all came forward to prove to Wei Xiyue, and with them, the attitude of many civil officials also loosened a lot, and public opinion was reversed during this period.

And the crown prince, how could they be willing to see Wei Xiyue so smoothly reverse the direction of public opinion?

Huo Zeyu looked at the face that was so heavy that he could drip water, but the prince suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, and he still had a back hand.

It was at this time that an uninvited guest appeared.

"You unfilial daughter!" It was an old voice.

Wei Xiyue looked back, but saw that it was the old lady.

"It's clear that you threatened me and deliberately wanted to make me faint, and you still dare to tell right and wrong here!" The old lady snapped.
