Jiang Rong stood up and said: "Don't talk too much, it's only right to kill people to pay for your life, what is the amount of people who can tolerate this?" ”

In the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, but except for Jiang Rong, no one was willing to stand up and help the Shangjing Government Office speak. They were either afraid of getting into trouble, or they didn't want to help Wei Guogong's staff in front of Gu Xiang, so they didn't open their mouths anyway.

Mei Xiaoren continued: "Your Majesty treats guests with courtesy and rules the country, but the prince of your country is unwilling to be a guest, he robs the street, hurts people and puts people to death, do you think we should toast or punish wine?" ”

"There is a saying in your country that the law is nothing more than human affection, His Majesty Ning Jun should release our prince, and the good of the two countries is to repair it." The envoys of the Xia Kingdom still looked stubborn.

Mei Xiaoren responded lightly: "Human favor? Do adults know what it means to be human? She sneered, "The prince of your country committed murder in Daning, do we still have to be grateful to Dade and regard it as a favor?" ”

The envoy of the Xia State said: "But if your country insists on disposing of my Great Xia Prince, I am afraid that it will damage the friendship between the two countries, how can I be friends in the future?" ”

"When you tore up the national letter before, why didn't you say that you wanted to forge friendship between the two countries?" Mei Xiaoren swept the adults led by the Ministry of Rites, "What kind of heart did Xia Guo have, presumably the adults of the Ministry of Rites know better than their humble duties." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, it was originally a matter of joy for the two countries to make the ministers come to the court, but I never thought that there was such a fork now, the ministers are deeply saddened, on the one hand, the people of Daning, on the other hand, the prince of the Xia Kingdom, the ministers and other ministers have been mediating for many days without results, and this time I also ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment." ”

Emperor Tianhong also looked embarrassed, and had to look at the person at the head of the front right row, "Gu Qing, what do you think?" ”

Gu Chuyu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the meaning of the Criminal Department is the meaning of the minister." ”

"Chop?" Emperor Tianhong frowned, still a little hesitant.

Mei Xiaoren immediately said: "Your Majesty, human life is at stake, he committed murder, if he spares his life because of the prince of Xia Kingdom, how does this make the people of Daning think?" ”

The envoy of the Xia Kingdom held his hand and said calmly and indifferently: "Your Majesty Ning Jun still needs to think carefully, don't lose a big one because of a small loss, it is easy to block the mouths of the people, but it is difficult to block thousands of troops." ”

Mei Xiaoren was furious for a moment, "If I were you, I would be smarter now, you are the first to blame for this matter, as an envoy, you don't know how to repent on behalf of your prince, and you dare to threaten the saint, are you really stepping on the land of your Xia Kingdom?" The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and continued to scold, "Do you know what it means to be under the eaves of a house, and you have to bow your head!" ”

Mei Xiaoren's indignant words echoed in the hall, and it took a long time to dissipate, but it attracted a hundred officials to review.

Some people are pleased, some are excited, some ministers praise in low voices, and some people are ashamed.

Jiang Ei and Gu Chuyu turned their heads in unison, one with a spring breeze on his face, and the other with a smile on his face.

When they withdrew their gazes, they inadvertently saw each other. Glancing at each other, Jiang Rong stiffened his face, while Gu Chuyu suppressed the smile on his lips and looked at the hall indifferently.

The envoy of the Xia Kingdom was a little embarrassed on his face, glanced at Mei Xiaoren, and said slowly: "Young man, you are adding fuel to the fire with such a big temperament. ”

Wei Guogong said coldly: "In front of Your Majesty, how can you be presumptuous as an envoy!" ”

Only then did the envoys of the Xia Kingdom lower their posture and saluted to the palace: "Then I implore Your Majesty to raise your noble hand and let our prince go." ”

Mei Xiaoren also hurriedly bowed his hand to the palace: "Your Majesty, if the murderer is not killed, it is not enough to establish the prestige of the country and serve the people, I implore Your Majesty to think twice." ”

The envoy of the Xia State turned his head again and glared at Mei Xiaoren, "You are just a petty official who tries cases, how can you be worthy of discussing the affairs of the two countries, if you insist on going your own way and causing the two countries to go to war, will you bear the consequences of this?" ”

"Then it's up to the true self."

Gu Chuyu looked ahead, as if he said casually.

Wei Shuying immediately took the lead and said: "The minister implores Your Majesty to behead the murderer to correct the prestige of the country." ”

As soon as the scholar of Wei opened his mouth, the ministers followed suit: "The ministers seconded it." ”

Gu Chuyu immediately ordered: "The Ministry of Rites is still in the book, entertain the envoy well, and send the prisoner out of Daning after he is executed." ”

"Humble duty understands."

The envoy of the Xia Kingdom pointed to the ministers in front of him in shock: "You ...... Are you going to detain the envoys? ”

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Take him down." ”

As soon as the words fell, several guards walked into the main hall and "invited" the resentful envoy out.

Emperor Tianhong couldn't help but worry: "Gu Qing, do this...... Will it cause ......?"

Without waiting for Emperor Tianhong to finish speaking, Gu Chuyu calmly responded: "Then fight." ”

The ministers present all understood that in fact, whether to kill or not to kill, it all depends on what Gu Xiang thinks, and the reason why it came to His Majesty is because His Majesty is still a symbol of Daning's monarchy, and he has to go through this formality to deal with the affairs of the two countries.

After Emperor Tianhong drove away, the ministers dispersed, and when they left the main hall, they were all in groups of three or five, and there were many discussions.

Everyone has right and wrong in their hearts, and they all hope that the murderer can be brought to justice, but they are bound by their position and do not help Mei Xiaoren speak, but they have already remembered this fearless offspring in their hearts.

Mei Xiaoren is young but can speak skillfully and courageously, and he fought the envoys of the Xia Kingdom in front of His Majesty, making them feel ashamed in their hearts.

Several ministers around Wei Guogong congratulated him one after another, praising him for his unique vision and acceptance of such a capable staff.

Waiting for Daohe's ministers to leave, Wu Xian quickly followed Wei Guogong and said beside Wei Guogong: "My lord, just now the Prime Minister and the university scholar helped Mei Fucheng talk, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. ”

Wei Guogong was complacent in his heart, and when he heard this, he was immediately displeased: "Don't speculate, at the moment of foreign enemies, Gu Xiang doesn't help Daning to speak, can he still help the envoys of Xia State to intercede?" ”

"Your Excellency is right." Wu Xian was unwilling, but had to shut up.

Last time, he swore by it, but Wei Guogong didn't seem to believe it. But it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, now is the time when the Guogong Mansion is short of people, as long as he is wholeheartedly towards the Guogong Lord, he will not be able to compare with Mei Xiaoren.

Mei Xiaoren came out of the main hall, looked at the snow blowing outside, and felt a feeling in his heart that the clouds were open and the moon was bright.

She was one of the last few people to leave the main hall, Chu Yu and Wei Shuying had already left, even if they walked slowly, they were still not far ahead at this time, and it was really difficult for her to go up and say hello.

Mei Xiaoren swept a familiar figure in a blink of an eye, the person was still wearing a pink palace dress, walked slowly to the square, ignored the ministers passing by, and walked straight towards a person.

The county lord of Haoyang, a relative of the emperor, and she is not the only one who came, Ji Nanrou is also there, the two walk side by side, hand in hand, the relationship should be good.
