"Lord Zhao, are you deliberately targeting this official?"

"Hmph, what's the matter, this official is just telling the truth, is Lord Xue thinking too much?"

"I think you have a grudge because the official impeached your wife and nephew."

"Lord Xue's words are different, the nephew of the lower official made trouble, it is because the lower official's discipline is not strict, the nephew of the lower official has been punished, and the lower official has also punished himself for a year, how can this matter have anything to do with Lord Xue?"

"Okay, a few Aiqing and don't be impatient for a while, what's going on, bring the arresting guard up and ask, Shen Qi."

The emperor's words were still good, as soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall stopped, the emperor called Shen Qi, and Shen Gonggong sang in a sharp voice in understanding, "Take the Xue family guard." ”

The outside also sang and harmonized, and after a while, the Xue family guards were escorted in from the outside and knelt in front of the main hall.

The emperor looked at the guards below and asked, "Tell me, did you kidnap Zihao once before escorting him?" ”

Xue Weiguo also asked coldly, "Tell me honestly, have you kidnapped His Highness Jiangnan before." ”

The guard knelt down and kowtowed first, "The little one should be damned, it was the little one who misheard people's words, and thought that His Highness was a vicious bandit, so he was arrested, and then he found out that he thought it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Jiangnan, so he didn't dare to tell the adult." ”

Xue Weiguo stepped forward and kicked the guard directly, "How dare you hide such a thing?" Who did you listen to? ”

The guard was kicked by Xue Weiguo and fell to the ground, and he knelt down again and lowered his head and said tremblingly, "The little one listened to the words of the new governor of Yuncheng, he said that there is a group of bandits in Yuncheng, which is extraordinary, and he led the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them before, and they are really not the opponents of those bandits. And the little one has never been murderous, just thinking about helping the Governor of Yuncheng send people to the Yuncheng prison, and the little one really doesn't know, I don't know the identity of this person. ”

The guard made some excuses, but he took all the blame on himself.

The Emperor who was sitting at the top opened his mouth and asked, "Cloud City Governor Guard?" Who is it today? ”

One of them stood up and said loudly, "The minister has some impressions, this Yuncheng Governor's Guard is called Xu Wenyu, who was originally the county commander of Anyang County, and then cleaned up the remnants of Yuncheng Murong, made great contributions, and was exceptionally promoted to the Governor of Yuncheng, it seems that he still has some relationship with His Royal Highness Zihao." ”

This Xu Sanlang's identity is really embarrassing now, the son of King Rui who suddenly appeared did not have any titles, but the emperor recognized this cousin, and they didn't know how to call it, and as a result, all kinds of titles came out.

The first emperor looked at Xu Sanlang and asked, "Zihao, what does the Cloud City Governor Guard have to do with you?" ”

Xu Saburo answered lukewarmly, "Fourth uncle." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, the cousin in front of him did not grow up in Jiangnan, this fourth uncle, I am afraid that it is the fourth uncle who originally concealed his original identity, why did he deal with him like this, the emperor asked curiously, "Does he know that you are not his family?" ”

Xu Sanlang shook his head, the emperor was stunned again, and then returned to normal, after all, growing up in such an imperial city that eats people and does not spit out bones, and has seen too many things about all kinds of flesh and blood relatives killing each other because of their power status, it is not surprising that his uncle wants to harm his nephew in his eyes, so he only asked, "What is the holiday between that Zihao and the governor of Yuncheng?" Do you know why he thinks you like a bandit and sends men to arrest you? ”

Xu Saburo said coldly, "It's just an order." ”

The meaning is self-evident, instructed by others, by whom? Of course, he sent his own family to guard Lord Xue.

Xue Weiguo replied coldly, "Zihao's nephew, this statement needs to be evidenced." ”

Xu Sanlang also replied coldly, "What Lord Xue's guards said was just his words, who knows if he made up it indiscriminately in order to shield the real murderer behind the scenes." ”

Ge Shu echoed, "That's it, I also said that Lord Xue wants to usurp the throne, am I saying that Lord Xue really wants to usurp the throne?" ”

In this hall, it is still possible to talk such nonsense unscrupulously, Cheng Xi is also convinced, but such nonsense is the most useful, then Xue Weiguo's face was red at this time, and his neck was thick and pointed at Ge Shu "You, you, you" for a long time before a sentence of nonsense came out.

After accusing Ge Shu, Xue Weiguo dared to kneel in front of the emperor again, "Your Majesty, this son of Jiangnan, talking nonsense, the old minister is heartfelt, and he has no such intention." ”

Ge Shu spread his hands, "Look, if this Shizi says this, Lord Xue will say that this Shizi is talking nonsense, who knows if Lord Xue's subordinates are talking nonsense like this?" ”

Xue Weiguo glared at Ge Shu, "How can this be the same?" ”

Ge Shu looked like a hanger, and responded with a smile, "Why is it different, could it be that what Lord Xue's subordinates said must be true?" Then why is what the son of this world says false? What guarantee does Lord Xue have that this guard is not lying? ”

The emperor seemed to have a headache from the noise, and kept pressing his hand on his temple, and when Ge Shu finished speaking, he raised his hand and said, "Lord Zhang." ”

"The minister is here."

"This guard will be taken into custody and handed over to your criminal department for interrogation, and another person will be sent to Yuncheng to take in the governor of Yuncheng, Wei Xu Wenyu, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated, what does Uncle Huang think of this kind of handling?"

King Rui replied, "Your Majesty is wise, but Lord Xue is a suspect who wants to assassinate my son, and the two kidnappings of my son are related to him, how can Your Majesty not deal with it?" ”

At this time, the tone of King Rui's speech was to be an elder, and with questioning, the emperor's eyes flashed, and he had to speak, "Xue Aiqing is not good for disciplining his subordinates, and he has thought about it behind closed doors to show punishment, as for whether there is an assassination of Zihao, after the matter is clarified, I will make a decision, I am really a little tired, let's retreat first." ”

only arrested Xu Sanlang for the second time, but it was obviously him, so he didn't mention it, which made Cheng Xi frown slightly.

"The ministers are leaving."

The emperor spoke up again, "Uncle Huang, your family will stay first." ”

After a while, more than ten ministers in the main hall retreated first, and only Emperor Rui Wang Geshu and Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi were left in the main hall, and the emperor said to Gonggong Shen on the side, "Give them a seat to the imperial uncle." ”

Gonggong Shen shouted again in a sharp voice, "Sit down." ”

Cheng Xi heard Gonggong Shen's shrill voice, and was speechless, the emperor just greeted him, he insisted that Gonggong Shen shouted such a voice, isn't this emperor afraid of his own tinnitus?

Cheng Xi was still thinking nonsense in his heart, but a group of groveling eunuchs came over with a few stools, placed them on both sides of the main hall, and then bowed and left.

Xu Sanlang gently pulled Cheng Xi, and Cheng Xi lowered his head and followed Xu Sanlang with small steps, and went over to sit down on the small stool on the side.

I heard the emperor speak, "Uncle Huang, forgive me, I still have to save some face for the queen, if this matter is really related to Lord Xue, I will definitely give Zihao justice." ”

The emperor's words were vague, only everyone heard what he meant, Lord Xue was his father-in-law anyway, and he definitely couldn't move him casually without real evidence, and King Rui didn't mention it again, but changed the topic, "Your Majesty has suffered all these years, and the imperial brother can finally feel at ease when he sees His Majesty now." ”

The emperor replied, "Thank you Uncle Huang, although he is in Jiangnan, he has always been concerned about his nephew, so that his nephew will not go to the step of his father, it is rare for Uncle Huang to come to the capital, so I will stay longer, I have sent someone to renovate Uncle Huang's palace in the capital, if there is any need, Uncle Huang just tell me." ”

King Rui replied, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

The emperor's eyes looked at Cheng Xi again, and asked, "This brother-in-law, does it really have nothing to do with the Xue family?" ”

Xu Sanlang clenched his fists and responded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the younger brother said no, then he didn't." ”

The emperor nodded, and continued, "I have wronged Zihao all these years, and I have been staying in such a place and suffering a lot. ”

Xu Saburo responded, "It's not bitter, if you can live, your brother will be very content, and your brother likes it there, and he already plans to live there with his family in the future." ”

The emperor kept staring at Xu Sanlang, as if he wanted to see something from Xu Sanlang's face, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything, Xu Sanlang just had an indifferent expression, and at most he glanced at the woman next to him from time to time.

The emperor couldn't help but move his gaze to the woman beside Xu Sanlang again, her appearance was indeed outstanding, only a little less vivid, too timid and silent, the emperor quickly withdrew his gaze.

Ge Shu couldn't sit still, and said, "Your Majesty, we haven't eaten yet, and you're tired, why don't you catch up later, can you let us go to eat first?" ”

is still the same tone of care, no matter who is in front of him, talking to the emperor like this, Cheng Xi really can't admire it, and the emperor is not angry, but said with a smile, "Okay, I am also rare to see my relatives, are you reluctant?" I won't leave you to eat today, I will set up a family banquet tomorrow night, and invite you to come over for a gathering, by the way, Uncle Huang, why didn't you see the imperial aunt? Didn't Ge Shu say that they all came together? ”

King Rui responded, "She hasn't returned for many years, and she is anxious to go back to see her brother, tomorrow the minister is taking her into the palace to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been pestered by Ge Shu for a long time, and she is tired, so the ministers will not continue to bother Your Majesty, and retire first." ”

The group exchanged a few more pleasantries, and King Rui took three people out of the hall, and Gonggong Shen personally sent them out, and then a eunuch took them out of the palace.

Cheng Xi let Xu Sanlang help him into the carriage, King Rui still rode a horse, but Ge Shu didn't ride a horse, and squeezed into the carriage made by Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi with a dead face.

After getting into the carriage, Ge Shu began to look at Cheng Xi unscrupulously, Cheng Xi was worried that King Rui outside would hear it, lowered his voice, and reprimanded impatiently, "What are you staring at me?" ”

Xu Sanlang also glanced at Ge Shu with a warning face, Ge Shu rolled his eyes, and also lowered his voice and said to Xu Sanlang, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your daughter-in-law, you don't have to look at me with such an expression, I'm just curious, sister-in-law, do you really look like Xue Weiguo's sister?" And she actually helped you to pretend to be a little girl and go to my brother's side. Why? ”

Cheng Xi frowned impatiently, "Where did you come from so much, why, noisy." "Obviously don't want to say more.

But the more Cheng Xi didn't want to say more, the more curious this Ge Shu became, and his eyes swept over Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang, "Then I'll just ask Xue Weiguo's sister." ”

Cheng Xi glanced at Ge Shu speechlessly, and said, "Whatever you want." ”

She didn't believe that Ge Shu would really ask about this matter so indiscriminately, and sure enough, Ge Shu sighed and said sullenly, "Don't say it." ”

Cheng Xi opened his mouth and asked, "What about Yu'er?" Did she go back to the capital with you? ”

Ge Shu nodded, and said sullenly, "I went home, I was locked up by her father and not allowed to come out, we have to solve this matter quickly, otherwise it will ......"

Cheng Xi lowered his voice, leaned closer to Ge Shu and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever asked Yu'er whether her sister or the Zhao family wants her to enter the palace?" Or did the emperor take a fancy to her and wanted her to enter the palace? ”
