Song Jinyan sneered: "Just confused? ”

Wang Furen trembled and said, "What does the emperor mean by this, the minister doesn't understand. ”

Song Jinyan waved his hand coldly: "I will give you another chance, you should think clearly, what to say, how to say." ”

Wang Furen's body was shaking like a sieve at the moment, and he kept kowtowing, but he still said in his mouth: "The emperor is Mingjian, the ministers are confused, and the ministers are confused." ”

"Hmph-" Song Jinyan snorted coldly, "Wang Furen, since you must toast like this and not eat and drink, it's no wonder that I don't want to eat." Someone's coming—drag it down and cut it down! ”

Wang Furen's body froze, with a gray and weak look on his face, but he did not struggle at all. The two guards, one on the left and one on the right, who came up, framed themselves.

There was an extremely frightened expression on everyone's faces, you must know that today is the banquet of the new year, and in previous years, there was even an amnesty in the world today, but now the emperor does not care about today's day, thinking that the situation must be very serious.

Out of Song Jinyan, among the people present, the most calm person was Kou Shu, how deep the water in Yanzhou was, Kou Shu more or less understood. Today, Song Jinyan made it clear that he was giving Wang Furen a chance, Yanzhou's officialdom is by no means a person who can cover the sky with one hand, this middle official protects each other, fish and flesh the people, and is domineering, if Wang Furen is willing to confess what he knows, Song Jinyan may be able to save his life.

But thinking about it, Wang Furen also understands that up to now, whether he says it or not is a death. I'd rather die than say it, maybe it's because there are other handles in the hands of those people.

Watching Wang Furen being dragged down coldly, Song Jinyan's eyes did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation, and he said lightly at the end: "Today's matter, I hope that all officials will take it as a warning, and there is no room for sand in my eyes." ”

After what happened just now, although the singing and dancing continued, everyone's faces were not very good, and their expressions were also a little wistful, pretending to smile, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the words were a little stiff.

After the two dances, the Queen Mother raised her hand and gently held her forehead: "I'm old and useless, and I'm tired after sitting for a while, Lan girl, you can help the mourning family go back first." ”

Lan Ruoxuan nodded when she heard this, got up obediently, and helped the Queen Mother back to Ningci Palace.

"The Bai family?" Hearing this, the Queen Mother's figure was stunned and sat back again.

Song Jinyan's eyes twitched slightly, as if he remembered something, and said, "I remember, someone from the Bai family also came today?" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Bai Zhisong, the head of the Bai family, stepped forward and arched his hand slightly: "Weichen is here." ”

When Bai Pear was still in power, the Bai family also rose with the tide. The Bai family flourished for a while under the hands of Bai Yang, the second-generation head of the family, but now in the hands of Bai Zhisong, the Bai family is in decline, and together with Bai Zhisong to the present, it is only the third grade of the official residence, and it has always been a dismal operation. was suddenly named by Song Jinyan today, and Bai Zhisong couldn't help but be a little flattered.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Kou Shu's eyes, the Bai family has been unknown since Bai Li's death, and now looking at Song Jinyan's meaning, he actually wants to support the Bai family, and he wants to listen to Song Jinyan's words, but he didn't want to change the conversation, Song Jinyan only said: "I want to see if the Bai family kid has a future." ”

Su Peiyuan took a step forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, that Bai Gongzi is a white dress, and at today's palace banquet, Bai Gongzi should not have come to the palace." The emperor might as well wait a few more days. It's just that when it comes to the country's talents, the slave thinks of a person, and this person's ability is also very prominent, and he is in the palace, and the emperor is interested in taking a look. ”

A smile flashed in Song Jinyan's eyes: "Oh? Who is Grandpa Su talking about? ”

A smile appeared on Su Peiyuan's face, and he said, "Does the emperor remember that General Kou Yunwu Kou has a deputy general named Bai Yao?" ”

A knowing smile appeared on Kou Shu's face, and she only heard Song Jinyan say, "Where is this person now?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a man dressed in black in the crowd come out, clasped his hands into fists and said, "The grass people have seen the emperor." ”

Kou Shu looked Bai Yao up and down, changed into clean clothes, and cleaned up, Bai Yao's whole person was a lot more heroic, and he walked even more vigorously, and his every move was full of the heroic spirit of a general.

"You're Bai Yao?" Song Jinyan squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the person in front of him.

Bai Yao nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Back to the emperor, exactly." ”

"Aren't you Kou Yunwu's lieutenant general, how can you call yourself a grass people?" Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Back to the emperor-" Bai Yao knelt down with his fists and said, "The grass people were originally deputy generals, but when General Kou disappeared on the day, the grass people received a decree relieving the grass people from their positions, and the decree said that they were dismissed from the position of the deputy general of the grass people, so now they have no official position and call themselves grass people." ”

"Oh?" Song Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and said, "I only directly arrested Kou Yunwu that day, and did not remove anyone from his position, do you have any evidence for what you said?" ”

When Bai Yao heard this, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, this is the official document that removed me that day, and I ask the emperor to take a look." ”

Song Jinyan waved his hand and said, "Zhongshu Shilang, go and see if the official document is true or false." I don't think so. ”

The province of Zhongshu is the department in charge of all documents, and all documents issued by the official family need to be evidenced by the red seal of the official family. Appointments, appointments and dismissals, and other matters related to the promotion of personnel are extremely important documents, and they need special red paint to be effective.

Zhongshu Shilang stepped forward, took the document and looked at it carefully for a while, then stretched out his hand and slowly rubbed the red paint, and after a while, he saluted Song Jinyan, and said: "Your Majesty, this red paint is fake." ”

"Oh? Fake? Song Jinyan opened his mouth, his eyes seemed to be smiling, and he turned to say, "Vice General Bai, do you hear me?" ”

Song Jinyan's words made his attitude towards this matter clear, and Bai Yao meant that the official was reinstated. Bai Yao was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked and ecstatic, he never expected that today Yan Yi let himself change his clothes to come to the banquet, he was just a person who was expelled from the military at the bottom of the seat, and now he was able to reinstate his post in one fell swoop, and stepped forward and said: "Weichen Xie Emperor!" ”

Song Jinyan nodded, and then said: "But-" After a pause, he continued: "Now that General Kou is no longer there, if Vice General Bai returns to the Northwest Army, I'm afraid it will not be suitable, why don't you continue to stay in the Imperial Forest Army as a deputy general?" ”

When Bai Yao heard this, he smiled heroically and nodded: "Your Majesty, the last general is a military general, as long as he can protect the people and serve the country, it is the same everywhere, the emperor sees that the last general is needed there, and the last general will go wherever he goes." Bai Yao patted his chest, looking righteous and cloudy.

Song Jinyan laughed and said, "Okay, Aiqing said so, I will be relieved." After that, he turned his head to Su Jingzhi, the commander of the Royal Forest Army: "Jingzhi, Bai Yao will follow you in the future." ”

A look of unknown meaning flashed in Su Jingzhi's eyes, and then he bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Weichen obeys the order." ”
