In the capital, when the day is full, Tianzheng is slightly white, Ji Zhongling is standing solemnly in the side hall in court clothes waiting for the emperor to go to court, full of white hair, straight spine, blazing eyes, the whole person is in good spirits, the ministers of civil and military affairs see him and come forward to salute him, respect him for a Ji Lao.

The emperor really doesn't want to get up so early, he really hates to face a group of ministers before dawn, listening to their thoughts, the thoughts are too big, it is better to hug the beauty in bed comfortably.

But Mr. Cui said that today is the first day of Ji Lao's court, and he has to go to the early court to discuss with him about Cui Yan's execution, and the emperor reluctantly got up from the gentle township.

"When I went to see him a few days ago, wasn't he sick and couldn't get out of bed? Why did you come to the court so early today? The emperor yawned and asked the palace people to wait and dress with his hands open.

Manager Cui replied: "Your Majesty, you are so sincere in asking Ji Lao to go out of the mountain to preside over the overall situation of the DPRK and China, Ji Lao is not easy to refute the emperor's face, and he has to get up from the bed to assist the emperor in stabilizing the overall situation." ”

"Since I have the heart to help me, why pretend to be sick and ask three or five times." These people are hypocritical, they have to invite three or five times to show that they are valued, the emperor secretly hates these ministers who put on a show, these people are afraid that they have forgotten, he is the most honorable emperor of the Pi Kingdom, why should he ask Corporal Lixian to ask them to enter the court?

Didn't the court give them Fenglu? What to put on the score.

"The emperor has a lot, this since ancient times the king always has to show some sincerity, the emperor don't worry about Ji Lao, he wants to test the emperor's sincerity, the emperor also gave, Ji Lao can come to the court today, presumably he will do his best in the future, the emperor has Ji Lao to help sit in the court, you can rest assured, with the help of such virtuous ministers, the emperor can also do it once and for all, and it is worth it for the emperor to be wronged."

Mr. Cui helped the emperor take care of the court clothes while coaxing the emperor to say.

The emperor likes to listen to Mr. Cui's words, "Okay, I listen to you, for the sake of Ji Lao, he is still willing to help me, I won't worry about him." ”

"The emperor is generous." Chief Cui saluted the emperor, then hurriedly stretched out a hand and shouted, "The emperor is driving!" ”

In the court.

The officials listed dozens of crimes for Cui Yan, large and small, such as harming loyalty, forming a party for personal gain, abusing private power, selling official positions, etc., all of which are capital crimes, and the crimes cannot be punished.

The emperor listened to it for a long time, and wanted to fall asleep, it was really boring to get up this morning, the emperor found a comfortable posture and yawned, and really didn't want to listen to the ministers in the hall anymore, so he said lazily: "Since all the secretaries feel that Cui Yan's crimes are unforgivable, then write down his charges one by one, hand them over to Ji Zhongling, and then issue them to the cities and counties after he reviews them, and the execution time is also determined by Ji Zhongling, okay, since it has been agreed that the secretaries will retire from the court." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he was about to return to the harem in a hurry, but Ji Lao stopped him, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do." ”

"What's the matter?" If you want to be early, you have to stand for a morning and don't speak, he will say when he wants to leave, it's really annoying, the emperor asked reluctantly.

"Wei Lin, General Wei." Ji Lao said concisely: "Did the emperor ask a imperial doctor to treat General Wei?" ”

"He's not crazy." The emperor waved his hand.

Ji Lao: "......"

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

The emperor knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly smiled dryly: "I mean that Cui Yan has been put in prison, and he will be executed soon, General Wei has a heart disease, as long as Cui Yan dies, General Wei will be fine." ”

"The minister heard that the emperor has the intention to canonize General Wei as the general of the southern border, and the emperor knows that General Wei has this heart disease, and the minister also asks the emperor to canonize General Wei to be safe ~ the hearts of the people in the south, so that General Wei can eradicate his heart disease as soon as possible and return to the south to protect the people." Ji Lao asked for the holy decree for General Wei.

Cui Yan is going to be ambushed, and it doesn't make sense if he doesn't seal Wei Lin as the general of the southern realm, anyway, he will die sooner or later, and he will be a fart.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor was slow to respond, Ji Lao called him.

Manager Cui pulled the emperor's sleeve and nodded at him, the emperor sighed and said, "Okay, in the middle of the season, I ordered you to hand over the holy decree to me." ”

"Yes!" Ji Lao saw that the emperor listened to his suggestion, so he also thanked him: "The ministers have thanked the emperor for General Wei and the people in the south." ”

The emperor waved his hand, and Mr. Cui sang: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

Ji Lao's method was extremely efficient, and Cui Yan's charges were drawn up before the next dynasty, and General Wei's canonization decree was also sent to the palace.

The next thing is to issue an edict to the whole country, Ji Lao handed it over to the people under him to do it, and he personally went to the Heavenly Prison to meet Cui Yan, who had been in power and the opposition.

As soon as Cui Yan saw Ji Lao, he didn't get up, and only said lightly: "I didn't expect you to come here in person." ”

Ji Lao only smiled and said, "Even the prime minister above 10,000 people under you can come here, why can't I come?" "Wen Ting Pavilion

Cui Yan sneered and said: "In the future, you will be one person under ten thousand people, but how long can an upright person like you do under the hands of that faint monarch who has always been uncertain and incapacitated?" Will I be in prison like I am? ”

"Cui Yan, I'm just here to ask you, is it your fault that General Situ died?" Ji Lao didn't come to the prison to argue with Cui Yan, he only wanted to know how General Situ died.

Although Cui Yan has the ability to besiege General Situ, General Situ is not a vegetarian, his borders have always been strict, and it is impossible for General Situ not to know that 30,000 troops have entered the southern border.

Soon after General Situ's death, he quietly sent someone to check, there was an army of 30,000 people who advanced three days and went out three days ago, and the Yu army did not hit the place where General Situ inspected when he invaded, Ji Lao always felt that this matter was strange, everyone knew that General Situ and Cui Yan were the most unsuitable people in the court, how could General Situ let his army enter and enter the southern territory freely without taking precautions.

"Ji Lao is really Ji Lao, and I have an insight into the form, yes, General Situ's death is indeed done by me, but it is also as Ji Lao, as you suspect, although I cover the sky with one hand in the court, this hand cannot cover the southern border, General Situ and I are incompatible, even if I have the intention to harm him, if there is no assistance, I am also powerless." Cui Yan confessed.

"Is it really his ......?"

"Seriously." Cui Yan nodded at Ji Lao with a mocking smile on his face.

"Alas......" Ji Lao fell into despair, bowed his head and turned around and left.

Cui Yan shouted as if he was lively: "Ji Lao, if you want to die well, go home and recuperate, he is not worthy of your life, hahaha......"

Seeing that Cui Yan was so arrogant, the servants beside Ji Lao said extremely unconvinced: "The master is good-tempered, and he doesn't fight back at all with such a capital criminal?" ”

Ji Lao said: "What are you fighting back?" Didn't you say that he was already a capital crime, so why should I bother with him, if he laughed at me and got angry, then wouldn't your lord become a frog? Touch and jump? Jumping and screaming? How can my old arms and legs withstand such a toss? ”

The subordinate was amused by Ji Lao's words, and said: "The master is the real one, he has the spirit of heaven and earth, and can accommodate all things, how can Cui Yan compare with the master?" I really didn't know what the emperor was thinking before, but I listened to Cui Yan's greedy words and removed the master's position, and the court was made miserable by Cui Yan before I thought of asking the master to go out of the mountain to stabilize the overall situation. ”

Ji Lao shook his head and said, "That's it, let's go back." ”

After seeing Cui Yan, Ji Lao went to General Du's mansion again, but General Wei was not there, Cui Yan was arrested, and Du Wenyun didn't worry about Wei Lin going out, not to mention that Wei Lin was not stupid, so he couldn't let him stay in the mansion every day and not go out.

Ji Lao waited for an hour and didn't wait for General Wei to come back, so he said to Du Wenyun: "If General Wei returns to the house, please inform him and go to my mansion to sit down." ”

"Yes." Du Wenyun immediately agreed, but just after agreeing, how did Ji Lao know that Wei Lin was not stupid? Still ask him to go to the house for a while?

Wei Lin sat at the east gate for a day, and did not return to Du Mansion until the curfew was about to be curfew, Du Wenyun saw that it was almost curfew, so he sent someone to find him, and as soon as he came out of the door, he saw Wei Lin coming back with a very dirty body.

Du Wenyun stepped forward and pulled him, and whispered to him: "Old Ji is here and said to let you go to his mansion for a while, how does he know that you are not stupid?" ”

Wei Lin shook his head, but he knew that Ji Lao and General Situ were close friends, and Ji Lao must be looking for him for General Situ.

"Then I'll go." Anyway, he's leaving Beijing, so it's good to meet Ji Lao before leaving.

"I'll send you there, otherwise it's going to be curfew, and it's not good for you to come back as a 'fool'." Du Wenyun insisted on accompanying Wei Lin to the Ji Mansion.

Wei Lin couldn't resist him, so he had to nod and let him accompany him.

When Ji Lao heard that General Du and General Wei were coming, he hurriedly came out to greet him in person, but when he saw Wei Lin's dirty appearance, he was still taken aback, and smiled helplessly: "General Wei, you made it like this, how does this make the old man hug you?" ”

Wei Lin held the junior salute and said with a smile: "Old Ji, Wei Lin is a fool at this time, please forgive me." ”

Ji Lao wanted Wei Lin to go to the bath and change clothes to talk about it, but Wei Lin refused, "Wei Lin's people who march and fight, the wind and sand blow and bury in the soil, and they wear ten thousand times dirtier than this clothes, and besides, this clothes will be stained with a little mud, and it will be gone if you pat it." ”

After Wei Lin finished speaking, he patted the dirt on his clothes, and Du Wenyun also helped him pat.

Ji Lao followed him and only said: "General Wei, General Situ was the only survivor of the siege of the battle, can you tell the old man about the situation at that time?" ”

'Chen Ziyuan' came to find his husband, and quietly slipped into Ji Lao's backyard while there was no one around, and put his ear to the windowsill to listen to what the people inside were talking about? Also, why did Du Wenyun bring Wei Lin to see Ji Lao? Are they plotting something?

Wei Lin heard the movement in the backyard, and then another black shadow passed by the windowsill, and hurriedly stretched out his index finger to sigh at Ji Lao and Du Wenyun, Wei Lin took a Buddhist bead from Ji Lao's table, and the middle finger flew straight towards the black shadow on the windowsill.

'Chen Ziyuan' saw someone sneak attack, instinctively dodged, and before she could stand still, a huge thing came over, and the other party slashed directly at the back of her neck, only to hear Du Wenyun exclaim: "Madam? ”
