The emperor raised his head, looked at Liu Xin and asked in surprise, "Liu Xin, why are you still here?" ”

Liu Xin said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's already late at night, you should go to bed." There are less than two hours left until the morning dynasty. ”

The emperor smiled lightly and shook his head: "I have to finish reading these recitals tonight, if I don't finish the review, where will I sleep peacefully." If you are sleepy, retreat. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is not sleepy!" Liu Xin hurriedly replied.

The emperor also knew that Liu Xin had always been loyal and stubborn, and when he saw that Liu Xin insisted on accompanying him, he didn't say anything more.

Liu Xin glanced at the folds on the imperial table, one head and two big. The folds had been divided into two piles, both of which were piled up as high as a mountain, but one of them towered into the sky and the other rose from the ground. It's a bunch of notes that have been reviewed, and another pile of notes that haven't been reviewed yet. Obviously, there are a lot more unreviewed notes.

He was very surprised, and if he wanted to finish reviewing the pile of recitals, he was afraid that he would not be able to finish the review all day without sleeping, eating, or drinking.

Liu Xin then persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that these twists and turns will not be approved until dawn." You'd better go to bed early, so as not to delay the morning pilgrimage. ”

The emperor was unmoved, and continued to bury his head in reviewing the folds, and said without raising his head: "The morning hour has come, remember to remind the whole." ”

This means that the folds must be approved, and the early dynasty cannot be delayed. Your Majesty, do you want to be so dedicated!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Seeing that the emperor could not be persuaded to move, Liu Xin no longer bothered to speak. He drank a cup of strong tea, moved his hands and feet, and warmed up his body.

Tonight is another sleepless night. The emperor is about to use the imperial case as a bed, and every time he is so sleepy that he can't stand it, he will lie on the imperial case and take a nap, and when the hour comes, he will go to the morning court.

Hey, it's getting dawn again.

About half an hour later, the emperor flipped through a notebook, the expression on his face was solemn, and infinite emotions surged in his heart. He rubbed his temples and looked at the piece again with wide eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of tiredness and haggardness. His handsome face with three-dimensional facial features left traces carved by the years, and his sleepless work made him age a lot faster.

I don't know if it was excitement, or the cold, or physical exertion, the emperor let out a series of coughing sounds.

This coughing sound frightened Liu Xin a lot, he leaned in front of the imperial case with a panicked expression, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor? ”

"A few coughs, no fuss." The emperor raised the fold in his hand, and his face sank: "Liu Xin, you help me take a look at this fold." ”

Liu Xin stepped forward and took the fold from the emperor's hands with trembling hands.

He observed his words and looks, and by the light of the candle he could see clearly that the emperor was preoccupied. He was secretly frightened, what happened to him? For the first time in his life, the emperor asked him to watch the recital. This really flattered him.

No, it's surprise over grace. He didn't need to read it, he knew that this book must be very important. Does he look at it or not? The more you know, the faster you die, and those who don't know are not guilty.

Living in the palace, in order to live longer, you have to put away your curiosity, don't know too much about things you shouldn't know.

There are some things he doesn't want to know, and he doesn't want to see this recital. However, the emperor named him and asked him to see it, could he not see it?

There is no way, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister is not loyal to death. Since the emperor asked him to see it, he had to bite the bullet and have the courage to open it and look at it.

After reading the recital, he immediately understood why the emperor wanted him to watch it. He had even guessed what the Emperor was going to ask him next.

That piece of music was written by Duan Zisheng of Dali Temple. The general content of the twist and turn is that the loyal and brave king Chi Le was involved in a major case of robbing a death row prisoner, and was sentenced to death together with Chu Tiankuo, the son of another prisoner.

This matter has long been spread throughout the palace. Because the two of them robbed Lu Hao, a death row prisoner, was the murderer who killed Xia He, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This case is related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, to the Queen, and to the entire Xia family. That's why Duan Zisheng judged it like this.

Who doesn't know that Chi Le, the loyal and brave king, is a big celebrity around the emperor, and the emperor appreciates him very much and is ready to cultivate it vigorously. Now, King Zhongyong has committed a criminal case, and the emperor certainly has a headache.

Sure enough, as Liu Xin expected, the emperor asked in a deep voice: "Liu Xin, what do you think of this case?" ”

Liu Xin privately figured out the holy will before replying: "Your Majesty, because the case has changed, Dali Temple has suspended the execution of the two criminals. The minister believes that the sentence of Dali Siqing in this case is heavier and should not be sentenced to death. ”

The emperor nodded, obviously satisfied with Liu Xin's answer. Liu Xin's opinion was exactly what the emperor wanted, he put his hand on his forehead, and sighed lightly: "Liu Xin, why do you think so?" ”

Liu Xin pondered for a moment, and replied cautiously: "If you return to the emperor, Dali Siqing will take into account Xia Xiangye's feelings, take into account the power of the Xia family, and take into account the queen's face, and sentence King Zhongyong to death." It's so unfair. No matter how you say it, Prince Chi Le is a loyal and brave king, so he should open up the net. ”

"Liu Xin, your idea is very wrong. The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. How can he open the net just because he is the king of loyalty......" The emperor said, coughing violently a few times.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body, don't be angry." Liu Xin realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly corrected it: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the loyal and brave king has a good character, and it is not like he would do such a violation of law and discipline. There must be something hidden in this matter. ”

It's pretty much the same to talk like that. The emperor nodded, and his face softened: "Liu Xin, as far as I know, the other person in this case is guilty of Chu Tiankuo, the son of a fan, who is a martial arts person, have you heard of how he is a person?" ”

Liu Xin looked confused. What is the personality of this fan-bearing prince Chu Tiankuo, where will he know if he is in the palace? Left and right are just prisoners robbing death row prisoners, what kind of good person can they be?

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and replied cleverly: "Your Majesty, this person must be a great traitor." The loyal and brave king Chile must have been bewitched by this person to participate in the robbery of prisoners. According to the minister's opinion, this case must have been committed by Chu Tiankuo alone, and it has nothing to do with King Zhongyong. ”

This fart slapped on the horse's hooves!

Emperor Long Yan was furious, angry and roared: "Bold! ”

He stood up from the dragon chair and stepped down from the imperial table.

Liu Xin didn't know why, he was still complacent, and suddenly he was so frightened by the emperor's angry shout that he knelt on the ground with a puff, and the fold in his hand also fell to the ground. He had no idea what he had said wrong that made the Emperor so angry.

The fold just fell at the emperor's feet, and the emperor had a complicated look on his face, and bent down to pick up the book.

Liu Xin knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, and did not dare to move. He had never seen an emperor so deranged.

Cough! Cough! Cough! The Emperor coughed several more times. Just now, Liu Xin's unintentional words made him frightened.
