As soon as Emperor Hongwei finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the court, but after a while, a group of civil officials came back to their senses and began to exchange heads, as if they were planning to jointly advise.

On the military general's side, Xu Rui has gained too many hearts in this battle, and everyone has the heart to defend him, not to mention that as long as the holy decree comes out, Xu Rui will be attributed to the military general, and the civil and military dispute about Xu Rui will be over.

Those big bosses who threw their heads on the battlefield and spilled their blood were not ambiguous when they arrived at the court, and when they saw a commotion among the civil officials on the other side, they were also gearing up, just waiting for the other party to make a move, they would immediately fight back, no matter what, they had to keep Xu Rui's fruit.

Seeing that the civil and military battle was about to be staged, Emperor Hongwei suddenly sat back on the dragon chair and said lightly: "What does the prince think of my decision?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the almost boiling Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces immediately quieted down again.

Recently, the crown prince has been in charge of the country, and the king of Liao is about to move, and the two are secretly wrestling more and more fiercely, and Emperor Hongwei has been busy with the affairs of the war, and seems to be powerless to take care of it, which makes the situation more and more delicate.

Today was originally to welcome the triumphant army, but I didn't expect Emperor Hongwei to use Xu Rui to catch everyone off guard, and now he suddenly moved out of the crown prince, no one knew what he wanted to do, and everyone couldn't help but get nervous.

Once the matter involves the seizure of the heir, the boundary between civil and military will become very blurred, such as Huang Tingzhi, Du Ruo and others are the leaders of the civil officials, and they are also the party of the Liao king, and when the crown prince is pushed out, their attention will immediately turn.

Although there were also nobles who supported the crown prince among the generals, because they were purged by Emperor Hongwei through the defeat of Jingyang, most of the newly promoted real power factions remained neutral.

If the Liaowang group wanted to take the lead in the matter of seizing the heirs, they did not dare to offend these neutral generals too much, and it was Emperor Hongwei's simple words that caused the original wave of opposition to collapse immediately.

Xu Rui saw all this in his eyes, and secretly admired Emperor Hongwei's meticulous control of the court situation, but he also felt that Emperor Hongwei's question about the crown prince at this time would never be a simple diversion of attention, maybe everything before was to prepare for the current purpose.

But what is his purpose?

Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the prince who was accompanying him on the side of the dragon chair.

This is the first time he has seen the crown prince with his own eyes, he is seven points similar to Emperor Hongwei, his stature is medium, he can be regarded as magnificent, but he lacks a kingly spirit, and he seems to be submissive.

The crown prince was in a bad mood today, and when he heard that Emperor Hongwei was going to give Xu Rui words, he was even more unhappy in his heart.

Suddenly hearing his father mention himself, the prince was shocked, hurriedly covered the look on his face, hugged his fists and said: "Father and Emperor Shengming candlelight, how can the son have any opinions?" ”

"Oh?"

Emperor Hongwei sneered: "It seems that the crown prince has finally made some progress during his time in the prison country, at least he knows that he shouldn't go against me."

But in that case, then why did I hear that in the matter of the appointment of officials in the six northeastern provinces, the crown prince bypassed the principle that I had set down that the attendants should not be directly released, and released all nine of your attendants in the East Palace in one go? ”

The prince's body trembled when he heard this, and he quickly turned his head slightly, and glanced at the subordinates of the East Palace, while Du Ruo and Tang Huaixin were like wolves smelling blood, their eyes shining.

Seeing that the prince did not answer, Emperor Hongwei's face turned cold, and he was about to open his mouth to speak, but at this moment, Qin Zhijian, the imperial historian, came out of the class and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, the minister has the right to play!" ”

As soon as he saw Qin Zhijian out of class, the corners of Tang Huaixin's mouth immediately hooked up a sneer, and he whispered to Du Ruo: "Here, the show is about to start." ”

Du Ruo's face sank, and he said softly: "The situation has changed now, and the Holy Lord seems to want to liquidate all kinds of lawlessness since the prince's imprisonment, and we must not let the prince's party divert their attention." ”

Tang Huaixin nodded, took out a note from his sleeve, and handed it to the colleague next to him, who opened it and glanced at it, his face changed slightly, and he handed the note to the others.

"What do you have to do?"

On the dragon chair, Emperor Hongwei looked at Qin Zhijian with interest and asked lightly.

Qin Zhijian took out a book from his cuffs, held it high above his head and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, the ministers Xiao Jinwu and Liu Yi left their posts without permission, and mobilized the army without a request, which is like a rebellion;

Minister Xu Rui shelled Bandung City, openly rebelling!

Since then, Xu Rui has relied on his great achievements in the war, and asked for bribes in Xichuan, the amount of which is as high as tens of millions of taels, not only that, but he also deliberately provoked the Xichuan family to fight, so that Xichuan just calmed down and then the blood flowed into a river, and the family family was ten rooms and nine empty, which was really harmful to the people, appalling!

The evidence of the above things is conclusive, and I also ask the Holy Admiral to take down these three people together! ”

Qin Zhijian's face was expressionless, as if he was selfless with an iron face, and the officials were in an uproar when they heard this.

He sued all the three heroes of this great victory, and the three with the highest status in the army, and when Emperor Hongwei rewarded the meritorious ministers, how could he not surprise the officials?

Huang Tingzhi, who was sitting at the top of the hundred officials, opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Prince Bao on the other side, but this time Prince Bao just looked at his nose and nose, and didn't seem to respond to his meaning at all.

Huang Tingzhi's flabby face pulled slightly, as if sneering, closed his eyes again and pretended to sleep.

Du Ruo saw the expressions of the two in his eyes, and immediately sneered, and approached Tang Huaixin in front of him and whispered: "What a treacherous plan, but it's a pity that our prince is not a person." ”

Tang Huaixin frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Impeaching these three people in public for rebellion, even if the saint has the heart to protect it, it is difficult to block the mouths of the people, in contrast, all kinds of lawlessness during the prince's imprisonment have become a small road, and we can't divert the attention of the ministers back at all."

In my opinion, this is the prince's plan to break the boat, although it is a bit risky, but it is definitely a clever move, how can you say that it is entrusted to non-people? ”

Du Ruo sneered: "Otherwise, Qin Zhijian seems to be a trio of Lianshen, but in fact, the spearhead is aimed at Xu Rui, although Xiao Jinwu and Liu Yi's unauthorized transfer of troops is a rebellion, but they also turned the tide and defeated the Northern Dynasty."

With this big victory, at least for now, as long as the saints don't let go, no one can move them.

Xu Rui's bombardment of Bandung City is the same reason, Qin Zhijian is quite smart, he focused on Xu Rui's huge bribe.

How many people are staring at Xichuan, once this matter is put on the table, those red-eyed people are afraid that they will immediately attack it, and the saint wants to protect Xiao Jinwu and Liu Yi, and also help Xu Rui wipe the crime of rebellion, so he will give in.

The most likely outcome is to ask Xu Rui for bribery and punishment, so that Xu Rui's merits can be offset and he will be beaten back to his original form. ”

Tang Huaixin was stunned again when he heard this: "In this way, this plan is indeed well-calculated, what's the problem?" ”

"Big problem!"

Du Ruo sneered: "The plan is a good plan, but the plan can't catch up with the rapid change, Qin Zhijian is rigid and doesn't know how to judge the situation, and he turned a good plan into a dead end."

What do you think, judging from today's everything, the saint's favor for Xu Rui is already very obvious, and he has just personally approved the royal approval, the marquis, and the word, can the saint slap himself in the face?

Moreover, today's Xu Rui is not what it used to be, it seems that he is already a decisive new force, even if he is put in front of Xiao Jinwu and Liu Yi, it will definitely not be him who will be sacrificed, so this kind of participation is doomed to fail.

Also, Xichuan moved so much, but the Holy Lord ignored it, there were only two possibilities, either he hid what Xu Rui did, or Xu Rui simply acted in accordance with the Holy Lord's secret decree.

If you look at the saint's appreciation of Xu Rui today, you will know that the former possibility is very small, and what Xu Rui did in Xichuan was at least acquiesced by the saint.

In this way, Qin Zhijian's use of this to attack Xu Rui is not equivalent to attacking the Holy Lord himself? Do you think he will have good fruit to eat? ”

Tang Huaixin was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Xu Rui, only to see that Xu Rui's face did not change, but even a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Emperor Hongwei naturally didn't care what the courtiers below thought, he pondered for a moment, glanced at the relieved prince, and finally opened his mouth.

"The people Qin Qing participated in are all my Great Wei heroes, but I can't help but ask about the rebellion, since this is the case, it is better for Qin Qing to put down the matter in hand and go to investigate this matter."

"What?!"

Before the prince's pride was revealed, his face immediately froze.

said that it was for Qin Zhijian to investigate, but how to investigate, to what extent, how much time it takes, and which yamen to cooperate, all of this is impossible to talk about, the so-called investigation is simply his exile, and no one has any reason to object.

Du Ruoxin said that it was indeed the case, and glanced at the prince gloatingly.

However, Xu Rui frowned, looking at Emperor Hongwei thoughtfully.
