"Yue Chongnan colluded with the Moon to exterminate the clan and kill the people of Huangyuan, the evidence is conclusive, the three princes still don't want to be deceived!" Seeing everyone's uncertain faces, Yingwuhou immediately intercepted the words of the third prince, and said lightly: "Now that the people's hearts are fluctuating, this matter is still decided by the emperor!" ”

"Qianfan thanked the three princes for their righteous words," Qianfan arched his hand at Laurent, suddenly laughed, looked at the person who came out to slander him, and said coldly: "You seem to have forgotten a word, I said that anyone who insults my Yue family with rumors, I will kill them!" ”

Everyone was stunned by her for a while, but someone still knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Yue Qianfan has no one in his eyes, and he is so bold that he openly threatens the court officials in the main hall!" Please punish the emperor heavily! ”

"The ministers seconded it!" At this time, more than a dozen people came out and knelt on the ground together

"Major General Yue, do you have anything to say?" At this time, the emperor, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth and asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, of course the ministers have something to say," Qian Fan smiled and saluted the emperor, then turned to look at them and said, "The ministers said that I threatened the imperial officials, but is there any evidence?" Could it be that the ministers are the ones who spread rumors and slander my Yue family? As for those seventeen people, they were mountain bandits who attacked us in the middle of the night, and I have already told Shuntianfu Yin about this, and Lord Wu can testify. ”

"The minister did find out that those seventeen people were Jiangyang thieves who were hunted down by the imperial court," Wu Zu immediately came out and said, "So the minister thinks that General Yue Shao is not only innocent, but meritorious." ”

"Thank you Lord Wu for being willing to say a few fair words for me," Qian Fan looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "When the Moon Annihilation Clan trampled on the land of Huangyuan, my father and I were still in the capital, and at that time the emperor gave my father as a marshal, and led an army of 20,000 to Xiguan, during which there were hundreds of small battles, although he was lucky to win, but there were also casualties, but my father was seriously injured and was recuperating in Xiguan from beginning to end, and all the operational commands were borne by me, so I want to ask you, where did your so-called collusion come from?" ”

"The emperor has a conclusion in his heart about this matter," as soon as Qian Fan's words fell, the hall suddenly fell silent, but Yuan Gang quickly spoke: "The entire capital knows about this matter, if there is really no such thing, how can it be spread?" ”

"Speaking of this, I've also heard of one thing, that is, Lord Yuan abandoned his wife and spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and now the whole capital knows about it," Qian Fan said lightly: "If there is really no such thing, how can it be spread?" ”

"You talk nonsense!" How could Yuan Gang not know that what the emperor hated the most was the things that favored his concubine and killed his wife, and suddenly blushed and said: "It's just a fictitious thing, you have no evidence, don't spew blood!" ”

"Lord Yuan, are you only allowing the state officials to set fires, and not allowing the people to light lamps?" Qian Fan said lightly: "Do you say that my father colluded with the Moon Extermination Clan?" Aren't you a bloody squirter! ”

Yuan Gang originally thought that Yue Qianfan was just a woman in the boudoir even if he was powerful, but where did he think that this person was so sharp and so aggressive, and suddenly wailed: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" Major General Yue slandered his ministers like this, and asked the emperor to be the master of his ministers! ”

"Don't you know if you check it out," Qian Fan didn't wait for the emperor to speak, he immediately opened his mouth, and then looked at the others, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know if you adults have anything else to say?" ”

Everyone immediately shrunk their necks, after being an official for so many years, who has nothing to do in private? That Yue Qianfan can even find out about Yuan Gang, maybe he has their handle in his hand, if he offends her, won't he also be shaken out? So in this way, except for Yuan Gang's crying, the hall was unusually quiet, and no one was accusing Qianfan.

A hint of appreciation flashed in the emperor's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he said lightly: "Since there is nothing to do, let's retreat!" Yue Qianfan, you come with me. ”

Everyone was confused by the emperor, they looked like they were going to put people to death before, but now they summoned Yue Qianfan alone, did they guess the emperor's intentions wrong?

For a while, those ministers who came out to accuse Yue Qianfan immediately saw sweat on their foreheads, how could they not see that Yue Qianfan was not like Yue Chongnan, if the appearance of retribution really made her gain momentum, she would not be able to get along with them? Some people immediately regretted it, and only felt that they should not be impulsive.

"Wei Guogong, what do you think the emperor means?" Seeing that the people were almost gone, Lu Cheng paced in front of Wei Guogong and asked in a low voice, "Is General Yue worried about his life?" ”

Prime Minister Lu Cheng and Wei Guogong are now the people on the boat of the Seventh Prince, and it is not unclear that Yue Qianfan has a close relationship with the Seventh Prince, so they naturally don't want Yue Chongnan to have anything to do, but the emperor's attitude has always been very unclear, and they are also worried in their hearts, in case Yue Chongnan is beheaded, the strength of the Seven Princes will definitely be greatly damaged.

"You can also see, Yue Qianfan's girl is not a person who sits still," Wei Guogong smiled and said, "And there are people behind her to help her, so let's just wait and see what happens." ”

"But looking at the emperor's attitude towards Yue Qianfan, he is not particularly pleased," Lu Chengxiang thought about it, and could only sigh and say: "But we can't help much, so we can only wait and see." ”

Qianfan naturally didn't know these things, because at this time she was standing in the center of the imperial study, and she hadn't said a word since she walked in, and the emperor sitting on the dragon chair looked at her quietly, and had an opinion on Qianfan in her heart.

"I remember the first time I saw you because you saved Xi'er," After a long time, the emperor slowly spoke, and there was no joy or anger in his tone, as if he thought about it and said: "Later, it was the Qin family and the eighth child who wanted to pull you into the water, and then the Chen family, which seems to have something to do with you...... Yue Qianfan, you tell me, did you do those things? ”

Did you even guess something? Although Qian Fan was really shocked when he heard the emperor's words, he didn't show it at all, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what you mean, and the minister hasn't done those things. ”

"Yue Qianfan, do you think you won't be able to find out if you don't admit me?" The emperor suddenly raised his voice, slammed the table and asked, "I am asking you once, whether you did it!" ”

At this moment, Qian Fan felt that the Sword of the Broken Army moved, maybe the Sword of the Broken Army has gone through a hundred years and has killed too many people, so the Sword of the Broken Army is extremely sensitive to murderous aura, even if it is just a sword, it also has the spirituality of the day after tomorrow, although it did not make a sound, but this has already made her understand that there is an ambush in this imperial study!

"Your Majesty, the minister hasn't done it!" Qian Fan immediately replied aloud: "No matter how many times the emperor asks, what the minister has not done is not done!" The emperor can ask the minister if he has threatened the victims, and the minister has indeed done it, because the minister does not want the soldiers to die in vain! The emperor can also ask the minister if he has killed someone, and the minister has also done it, because the minister can't watch his soldiers die tragically! However, the minister has never done the things that the emperor said! ”

The imperial study instantly fell into a death-like silence, Qian Fan looked at the emperor with a frank gaze, sometimes people are most afraid of losing is momentum, when you are afraid of yourself, then the momentum is naturally weak, even you are not sure of things, do you still hope that others can believe you?

I don't know how long it took, Qian Fan felt that the Sword of the Broken Army gradually quieted down, and he also relaxed slightly, and sure enough, after a while, the emperor suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! Over the years, I have been thinking that Yue Chongnan is loyal and commendable, but he is too rigid, I didn't expect to get such a smart girl as you, okay! ”

Qian Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and the corner of his eye naturally saw those archers hidden in the dark, it turned out that the emperor had never believed her at all, and planned to kill her! Or, if she admits that she was the mastermind behind the killing of those people in the first place, then she will be killed by ten thousand arrows immediately!

That is to say, the emperor needs a smart person now, but he can't be a smart person, he must be a smart person who does what he wants.

Seeing those people quietly retreating, Qian Fan knew that he had been chosen by the emperor, so what did the emperor go to such great lengths for? On the surface, he looked disgusted with the Yue family, and specially came to test himself, what is it that deserves the emperor's caution?

"Yue Qianfan, since you have returned to the capital, it seems inappropriate to call the young general again," the emperor watched those people retreat, and only the two of them were left in the entire hall before he spoke: "From today on, you are the chief of the Shen Penal Division, and you are ready to be sent by me at any time." ”

"Punishment Division!" Qian Fan raised his head suddenly, looked at the emperor in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, are you sure that I will be the director?" ”

"Why, do you think you can't do it yourself?" The emperor still asked with a smile on his face, "Or do you want to disobey the holy order?" ”

"I just want to know why." Qian Fan quickly calmed down from the initial surprise, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the chief of the Shen Criminal Division has held the intelligence of the entire Huangyuan Kingdom, why do you rest assured that I will do this?" And where did the last Grand Director go? ”

"Dead." The emperor glanced at Qian Fan with appreciation, and then said calmly: "I sent many people to investigate the cause of the death of the Grand Director, but found nothing, so do you dare to take this matter?" ”

"The minister has conditions." After hearing this, Qian Fan said without hesitation: "If the emperor believes in the minister, then ask the emperor to give the minister the greatest power, only in this way can the minister maximize the role of the Prudential Division." ”

"I thought you were asking me to release your father," the emperor said, looking at her, "I can promise you, but if you go beyond what I can accept, then I will kill you." ”

"Wechen understands!" As soon as Qianfan's voice fell, the emperor threw it at his feet, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was a letter written by his father to Lan Moyu of the Moon Annihilation Clan, and the letter mentioned collusion and meritorious service, after reading it, Qianfan raised his head and said: "This matter, Weichen will find out clearly." ”

"Even if the whole world betrays my country, your father will not, I will let him out, but how to wash away these notorieties can only be found by yourself," the emperor suddenly sighed and said: "And not only the affairs of the chief minister should be investigated, but also the queen mother's side should be investigated, do you understand what I mean?" ”
