"Lord Jianguo, Xu Rui disregarded the law of the country and had no regard for the king, so he led the army to storm the forbidden army, openly killed the mount of the three major members of the imperial court with firearms, and forced the forbidden army to retreat, and General Wang Yi is still illegally detained by him.

All kinds of evil deeds are too numerous to mention, outrageous, and have long gone beyond the scope of bullying people, and they are simply rebellious and openly rebelling, and they also ask the prisoner to give a quick order to bring this evil thief to justice, and punish him properly! ”

On the court the next day, the King of Liao sat upright with a gloomy face, and Zuo Du Yushi led a group of officials to be angry, and complained about Xu Rui's evil deeds yesterday with tears in his eyes.

The right-hand men who had already been prepared by the civil official group geared up and took turns to fight, and Xu Rui was portrayed as a traitor who leaned towards the government and the opposition and was angry with everyone and God.

King Yu, Huang Zhengyuan, and the nobles standing on the side couldn't interject at all, and they didn't mean to interject at all, just coldly watching the wonderful performances of the civil officials.

When the atmosphere in the main hall was completely ignited, and the fire was almost there, Du Ruo gave King Liao a look below.

The King of Liao understood in his heart, and immediately took a big shot, and said angrily: "Xu Rui is a minister, but he does not abide by the way of a courtier, which is really angry, but thinking of his meritorious service to the country, this king allows him to confront him in the hall, come, send someone to pass Xu Rui, and let him explain yesterday's events clearly in front of hundreds of officials!" ”

As soon as Xu Rui comes to the court, the spitting stars of the civil officials will immediately drown him, and then the king of Liao will be able to "conform to the hearts of the people" with the respect of the prison country.

The whole process is reasonable and legal, blameless at all, Xu Rui is difficult to argue at all, and no matter what resistance there is, he will be taken on the back and plot against him.

And if Xu Rui refuses to come to confront him, he will ignore the kindness of the King of Liao and the law of the country, and some people will immediately say that he is a thief with a weak heart, and he is also sitting on the real plot against the big crime.

At present, the right to speak is in the King of Liao, no matter how Xu Rui responds, he can't please him.

Thinking of this joint, Lu Hua, the secretary of the Criminal Department who has always admired Xu Rui, was worried, so he planned to disregard his own safety and say a few fair words for Xu Rui.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he noticed that his wrist was suddenly pressed, and when he turned his head, he saw King Yu shaking his head at him silently.

Lu Hua's heart was shocked, and he immediately said in his heart: "Yes, Xu Rui's kid is so smart, how could he not have thought that the civilian official group would inevitably attack him?"

Looking at King Yu's stable appearance, he must have already passed the anger with Xu Rui, and that kid should already have a way to deal with it, so he should not be completely passive.

It's just that now that the King of Liao has controlled the court, and the civil official group is even more talkative, even if it is really innocent, it will inevitably be reversed, not to mention that the kid did things too impulsively yesterday, leaving people with a handle, how to get through this hurdle? ”

Thinking of this, Lu Hua was worried and curious, but he didn't speak anymore.

There are not a few people who think like Lu Hua, on the one hand, Xu Rui is talented and popular, and many people admire Xu Rui a lot, and they all have the intention of helping him.

On the other hand, Emperor Hongwei suddenly retreated into the background, and the Liao King almost controlled the court, and the momentum of such abnormal development made many people feel a sense of crisis that was about to come.

It is only because of the current power of the King of Liao, and the civil and official group waving their flags and shouting, that these opposing voices have been temporarily suppressed, and now it is not easy for Xu Rui to stand up and balance the King of Liao, and everyone is happy to see it.

As soon as the King of Liao gave an order, the eunuch who passed the decree immediately went straight to Liu's Mansion under the escort of the forbidden army, summoned Xu Rui, and the civil and military officials waited quietly in the main hall.

The civilian-bureaucratic clique is in control, and the other forces are uneasy, and the atmosphere is extremely strange, half seawater and half flames, like a wooden barrel filled with fire oil, which will explode at the slightest spark.

However, the explosion that everyone expected did not come, and the eunuch returned empty-handed, after only one meal.

"The champion Hou asked the slave maid to pass the word, he said that the battle of the grassland made him unwell, and it was inconvenient for him to go out without the holy decree of the Holy Lord......"

The eunuch of the celebrant knelt on the main hall, whispering the words while cautiously glancing towards the King of Liao.

King Liao's face was gloomy and silent.

Xu Rui's words were blatant disobedience, and he did not give him the face of the prison country at all.

However, it has been stated in the holy decree just issued today that the Apocalypse Guard is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and is not dispatched by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, but only under the orders of the Son of Heaven.

Xu Rui, as the commander of the Apocalypse Guard, is naturally only responsible to Emperor Hongwei, and it seems beyond reproach that he refused to go to court without seeing Emperor Hongwei's edict.

And if the Liao King initiates the procedures of the three divisions and forcibly arrests Xu Rui, it will not turn into a confrontation between Tianqiwei and the entire judicial system, and even cause a mutiny, which will make the situation deteriorate rapidly.

Now that the King of Liao has an advantage in the battle for succession, and he is a righteous prison country, no one wants stability more than him, and if the situation gets out of control, it will bring opportunities for his brothers to take advantage of, which is the last thing he wants to see.

Xu Rui grasped this point and pressed it on the seven inches of King Liao.

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar.

Xu Rui's fluttering words immediately turned the performance of King Liao and the civil official group into a monkey show in the morning, which seemed so stupid in comparison.

Lu Hua was even more stunned in his heart, and in the face of such a terrifying voice of condemnation, I am afraid that what he thinks about is how to calm the anger of the public, at least he will not take the word "prison country" on the head of the King of Liao as a deaf ear.

You must know that the King of Liao is also ordered to supervise the country, with the word Qin Ci on his head, disobeying the order of the prison is no different from resisting the decree, who has the courage and confidence to send such a big handle to others in such an unfavorable situation?

Only Xu Rui doesn't play cards according to common sense, no matter how you call me, I will only be a wild dog barking, and I don't pay attention to it at all, if you want to be strict, then please take out the holy decree, after all, the prison country is only a prison country, not an emperor.

After digging deeper, the King of Liao wanted to make a fuss about this matter, which inevitably led to the suspicion of trespassing, and even gave people the impression of coveting the throne and seeking to usurp the government.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Xu Rui, this kid to not only be a good hand at fighting, but also so proficient in power arts, so he easily countered the Liao King's army, wonderful, wonderful."

Lu Hua lowered his voice and smiled lightly at King Yu's beard, as if flowers were blooming on his face.

The nobles who watched coldly were also cold on their faces, smiling in their hearts, gloating and preparing to watch the good show of King Liao.

"Good, good!"

The King of Liao glanced at the hundred officials, only to see that everyone seemed to be smiling, and finally suppressed his anger and said: "I originally thought of the champion Hou Wugong, and wanted to protect him, since he is obsessed, then don't blame this king for putting the law of the country first!" ”

The King of Liao snorted and immediately ordered the imperial history of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, as well as a large number of civil officials to join him in the rebellion against Xu Rui.

The impeachment of Xu Rui immediately flew like snowflakes to Emperor Hongwei's south study.

According to the plan of the King of Liao, Emperor Hongwei retreated into the background, and Hu Miao, the celebrant of the ceremonial eunuch, also fell to himself, these days he has successfully controlled the cabinet vote and the ceremonial supervisor to wear red, and naturally he has controlled the government.

Since Xu Rui wanted the holy decree, the king of Liao gave him the holy decree, anyway, it was he who wrote the impeachment chapter and approved the chapter, but the left hand changed to the right hand.

What King Liao didn't expect was that when Hu Miao, as before, was about to directly approve the impeachment of Xu Rui, and then planned to condemn Xu Rui, he was stopped by his ancestor Wang Shun.

What everyone didn't expect was that Emperor Hongwei, who had been calling himself sick and had not seen his ministers for a long time, actually said that he wanted to review the recital by himself this time.

The ministers suddenly realized that Emperor Hongwei was personally here to help Xu Rui, and he wanted to tell the hundred officials that it was impossible to directly overthrow Xu Rui through the court!

However, the more perceptive people also found that the officials who impeached Xu Rui were not punished by Emperor Hongwei, and those who were interested immediately understood that Emperor Hongwei was not disgusted by the dispute between Xu Rui and the King of Liao.

That is to say, from this moment on, two new political forces led by Xu Rui and King Liao have naturally emerged, and a new round of court balance has been re-achieved.

No one thought that by taking advantage of this crisis, Emperor Hongwei would complete the reconstruction of the political balance of the court so easily and quietly, and become the final big winner.

The King of Liao used the crown prince to rebel, and the family monopoly pattern that had been established for several months collapsed in an instant.

And when the situation in the Great Wei Dynasty was changing, Xu Rui and Li Kuang hid in the Yuanchu base and drank tea leisurely.

"Although your trick made the King of Liao punch the cotton, he couldn't use the force, but in the future, you will definitely become the new leader of the court.

Whether it is King Yu, the military generals, or the frustrated princelings, they will be reunited by you and become a new force.

In this way, you will become the center of attention, not only will the King of Liao and other princes see you as a thorn in the side, but even if you support King Yu to ascend to the throne, will he be at ease with you? What emperor would allow such a threat to you? ”

Li Kuang held the teacup and said to Xu Rui with a smile.

Xu Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am naturally not the protagonist on the stage of winning the heir, this time I made myself the focus just to make the King of Liao jealous, telling him that I am not so easy to bully, in fact, it is also a helpless move, and then I will naturally return the stage to the princes."

Besides, I don't have so much effort or time, and I have more important things to do right now. ”

"More important?"

Li Kuang frowned: "What can be more important than the throne?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door behind the two suddenly opened with a "creak".

Xu Rui glanced behind him and said with a smile: "That's why I invited you to come today, come with me to have a look." ”

After speaking, Xu Rui got up and walked towards the room behind him, Li Kuang was suspicious, but he couldn't resist his curiosity, and hurriedly followed Xu Rui's footsteps.
