Following Han Cheng into the Golden Palace, there was also Su Shiyuan, the governor of Northern Xinjiang, Han Cheng was once led by the emperor in the Golden Palace as the general of the Northern Xinjiang battalion, so most of today's civil and military ministers recognize his identity and know that Han Cheng is Han Xiao's nephew of the same clan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but what everyone never expected was that Han Xiao's defeat today was stabbed in the back by his most trusted nephew, this kind of fratricidal drama is not uncommon in the intrigue of the court, but most of them are fratricidal, Cannibalism among flesh and blood, after all, Han Cheng and Han Xiao are different in age, and their identities and status are also very different, and the relationship between the two should be one with one loss, no one can figure out what other results Han Cheng can get by betraying Han Xiao today, except for losing a backer in the future.

Han ...... Han Cheng!" Han Xiao's eyes were like torches, and his gaze at Han Cheng was fierce and hot, "You dare to betray me......"

"Patriarch, now that you are unable to protect yourself, do you still want to protect Lu Yifan?" Han Cheng asked with a frown, "I'm not betraying you, on the contrary, I'm saving you." If you continue to be obsessed with it, and the result is only a dead end, Your Majesty has promised me that as long as the patriarch is willing to sincerely repent, then Your Majesty will forgive your capital sin. ”

"You ......" Han Xiao was attacked by Han Cheng's sanctimonious anger, and almost vomited blood. Stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Cheng again and again, he didn't know what to say at the moment.

"Lord Han, General Han Cheng is not a betrayal of his relatives, but a wise move to kill his relatives with righteousness, in the face of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, if he takes a wrong step, there will never be a day of return, and now he is willing to stand up and admit everything to His Majesty is enough to prove that General Han Cheng is still loyal to His Majesty, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, Lord Han is also a minister of the Holy Domain, should be able to understand General Han Cheng's good intentions. Su Shiyuan bowed his hand to Han Xiao and said, "You shouldn't blame General Han Cheng, he is also thinking about the Han family." ”

"Han Cheng, tell me the truth...... Han Xiao took a deep breath and held back the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the reason why Yifan's life and death are unknown is because you didn't lead troops to protect him at all?"

"Yes. Han Cheng didn't squint, and said with a righteous face, "Without the order of His Majesty the Emperor, not a single soldier of the Northern Xinjiang Battalion, Han Cheng, can move without permission." His words provoked Yan Chong's appreciative gaze, and at the same time attracted Han Xiao's anger of wanting to kill, Han Cheng changed his words and said, "But don't worry, patriarch, I have brought Ling'er back safe and sound, and she is safe now." Han Xiao was a little relieved when he heard Han Cheng say this, after all, compared to Lu Yifan, his son-in-law, he was more concerned about the safety of his daughter.

"Han Cheng, you did a good job. Yan Chong nodded with satisfaction and said, "If the emperor hadn't been loyal to you and could stick to his loyalty to the emperor in the face of great rights and wrongs, the Han family would definitely end up with a full house today." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

"Han Xiao!" Yan Chong didn't give Han Xiao a chance to open his mouth at all, and immediately shouted, "Lu Yifan's actions in the Holy Domain in the name of the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce have led to public resentment, and there is a great chaos in all parts of the Holy Domain. And you, as the protector of the Holy Domain, the emperor's confidant and important minister, actually knew the law and broke the law, knowing that the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce was bullying people but turned a blind eye, and even helped Lu Yifan negotiate with the Beast Domain Sect Master in the north without telling the emperor. Su Shiyuan, this emperor ordered you to tell the affairs of Northern Xinjiang 1510. Yan Chong stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Shiyuan, Su Shiyuan hurriedly nodded when he heard this: "Because Lu Yifan and Feng Chenghuang negotiated in Northern Xinjiang, and then the two sides triggered a bloody battle in Northern Xinjiang, so that the blood flowed all over the field, and countless lives were killed and injured, at least more than 10,000 people in Northern Xinjiang were greatly affected, which can be described as extremely bad. ”

Yan Chong nodded, and said to Han Xiao: "Have you heard it all? Now not only in the court, but in the entire holy realm, there are civil uprisings caused by Lu Yifan everywhere, you go out and listen to it, what inch of land in the holy realm is there now that the people do not scold Lu Yifan? Lu Yifan has now become the biggest sinner in my holy domain, bullying others, abusing power for personal gain, and coaxing the innocent. Forcibly seized and plundered, causing countless bloody tragedies, but because he is powerful and powerful, and you are also protected by you, the protector of the country above 10,000 people, so the suffering of the people has nowhere to say, if it is not for the people to the point where they can't survive, they will definitely not abandon their family and business to Jinling City to find the emperor to administer justice! This emperor has long said that he should discipline young people in time, and teach him to behave in the world and know how to be restrained, but you just let it go freely, which caused the young and frivolous Lu Yifan to be so unstoppable, he now not only does he not take the people of the holy region in his eyes, but even this emperor is also worthless in his eyes now!"

"Minister...... There is nothing to say......" In the face of Emperor Yan Chong's increasingly impassioned rebuke, Han Xiao was already sitting on the ground like a deflated ball, his eyes empty and dazed.

"It's not that the emperor doesn't give him Lu Yifan a chance to reform himself, but in order to quell the most serious civil uprising at the moment and keep the peace of the holy area, he must be punished. But after all, he is the Emperor of the Sacred Domain, or the Sect Master of the Sacred Domain, how do you say that it is most appropriate to punish Lu Yifan?" Yan Chong coughed lightly, so he threw the question to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

Everyone in the ministers understands that Yan Chong wants to kill people with a knife again, and Yan Chong's desire to abolish Lu Yifan's position as emperor has long been revealed, but now he doesn't say it himself, but he wants the ministers to say it for him, so that even if Lu Yifan and the people of the Soul Sect riot in the future, Yan Chong will have a room to return. Thinking back to the beginning of last year, when Lu Yifan was appointed as the emperor of the Middle Kingdom, didn't he sacrifice a loyal and courageous old minister in vain? The art of the emperor is the art of killing, and who among the ministers does not understand it in their hearts? But at this moment, who of the ministers dares to stand up and offend the wealthy and powerful Lu Yifan at this juncture in the face of the great inaction of the world?

"This ......" There was a whisper in the hall for a while, but even though Yan Chong squinted his eyes and waited for a long time, no one dared to stand up and speak.

"What?" Yan Chong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Could it be that you are still afraid that Lu Yifan will take revenge? Don't forget your identity, don't forget the people of the Holy Realm who are waiting for you to be the master outside the city gate now." ”

"Your Majesty!" Just as the ministers looked at each other, Han Cheng suddenly stood up and said in a righteous voice, "As we all know, Lu Yifan is no longer worthy of being His Majesty the Middle Emperor of the Holy Domain, otherwise it will be an insult to the throne and an insult to the Ming Zheng prestige of the Holy Domain in the Five Domains." Therefore, the minister thought that Lu Yifan should be immediately deposed from the position of emperor, and the people should be angry, the emperor should be prestigious, and the dynasty should be established. ”

"Not only that!" Su Shiyuan continued, "Not only must Lu Yifan be deposed as the emperor, but also his title of Sect Master of the Sacred Domain must be abolished, otherwise, he can continue to oppress the people of the Sacred Domain with the strength of the Soul Sect, and only by completely depriving Lu Yifan of his power can this huge civil uprising be successfully quelled." ”

"Hiss!" As soon as Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan spoke, all the ministers in the hall were shocked. Everyone secretly admired the two of them in their hearts, admiring them for being so afraid of death that they dared to say anything. Han Xiao looked at Han Cheng with a straight face in despair, and watched the family kill each other, and his heart was indescribably sour.

"Depose the position of the emperor?" Yan Chong said hesitantly, "The middle emperor and this emperor belong to the same throne, how can this emperor arbitrarily depose Lu Yifan's throne?"

"Of course you can!" Han Cheng Zhengse said, "Your Majesty could have made Lu Yifan the emperor at the beginning, and today he can naturally take away his throne." What's more, His Majesty's move is not a one-man decision, but conforms to the will of the people and the heart of the world. Depose Lu Yifan, Your Majesty will be respected and followed by the people of the Holy Land, and in the hearts of the people, Your Majesty will also be a generation of Ming Jun. ”

"Having said that, Lu Yifan's position as the Sect Master of the Sacred Domain ......" Yan Chong's words couldn't help but hesitate at this point, shook his head and said, "The position of the Sect Master is determined by the Sect of the Sacred Domain, even if the Emperor can remove his name, but if he can't find a more suitable person to replace him, then Lu Yifan is still the uncrowned Lord of the Sect of the Sacred Domain, and he can completely proclaim himself the Sect Master in the future, after all, a huge Soul Sect is now standing in the West Emperor Mountain, which is not something that can be easily erased by a word from the Emperor." ”

"Lu Yifan is now unpopular, Your Majesty only needs to remove his name, as long as he is exempted from his title, then there are heroes in the world who are not used to him to deal with the Soul Sect, and there is no need for Your Majesty to worry too much. Su Shiyuan said, "Although the title does not mean strength, it is related to the justifiable banner. If His Majesty does not remove his title, then Lu Yifan will always be right, and all those who oppose him are evil, only by removing his title Lu Yifan will become evil, then all the people in the world who are bullied by him can justifiably go to him to seek justice. Lu Yifan's Soul Sect was indeed powerful, but he had dealt with one person or two people, but he couldn't compete with everyone in the Holy Domain. Now that he has lost the hearts of the people, the major sects naturally don't dare to get too close to him, the Sect Master of the Holy Domain is in the right position, and the major sects are all eager for this name, is Your Majesty afraid that no one will be able to replace him?"

"That's right, when the time comes, Your Majesty will choose a loyal hero from among the sects in the world to inherit the great responsibility of the Sect Master of the Holy Domain, so that the Sect Master of the Emperor will be of one heart and one mind, and the two swords will be combined, and my Holy Domain will surely prosper for generations to come. Han Cheng said excitedly.

Hearing Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan's exhortation, Yan Chong slowly turned around and sat back on the dragon chair, he frowned and pondered for a long time, a terrifying light suddenly flashed in his old eyes, and he slapped the dragon case with his big hand, and said loudly: "Okay! That emperor will first depose Lu Yifan as the middle emperor today, and then abolish his position as the sect leader of the holy realm, so as to conform to the will of the people!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan knelt on the ground together and shouted to Yan Chonggao, and with the two of them taking the lead, the others in the hall naturally would no longer pretend to be silent, so they all shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"As for Han Xiao...... Yan Chong wanted to take this opportunity to completely take the power of the Holy Domain into his own hands, so he was quite proud in his heart, he looked down at Han Xiao condescendingly, and said faintly, "You are also unforgivable, then the emperor will first remove you from the position of protector of the country and put you in prison, and then ......"

"Your Majesty!" Before Yan Chong's words were finished, Han Cheng suddenly knelt down and moved a few steps forward, pleading with sorrow on his face, "Your Majesty begs Your Majesty to forgive Han Xiao's momentary confusion and save him from the death penalty!"

Yan Chong nodded secretly, and said: "It's rare that you can still stick to a piece of filial piety, then the emperor will look at your face today, save Han Xiao from the death penalty, only demote him to a concubine, and don't put him in prison to suffer." Just put him under house arrest in the inner courtyard of the Han Mansion, and he is not allowed to take half a step without authorization, Yin Mo, you will send someone to guard it. Saying that, Yan Chong nodded at Yin Mo, and Yin Mo immediately took the order.

"As for the Protectorate...... I'll reward you!" Yan Chong said to Han Cheng quite generously, "You are also a member of the Han family, so that the Han family will not be able to find another place to go." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Cheng kowtowed to Yan Chong.

"But now that the people are in turmoil, I'm afraid that the removal of Lu Yifan alone will not be enough to calm down, after all, what they have lost is real money and silver life money, and this matter is a headache for the emperor when he thinks about it. Yan Chong shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know which of you can share the emperor's worries about this matter?"

"Your Majesty!" In the face of the silence of the ministers, Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan arched their hands at the same time: "The ministers are willing to share your majesty's worries!"

Yan Chong looked at Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan with a smile, and was already thinking about promoting the two of them to his right and left hands in the future, which happened to be the main martial arts of Han Cheng and the main text of Su Shiyuan. Since Han Xiao and Lu Haoqian both separated from themselves, Yan Chong, the emperor, has worked extremely hard, far less relaxed and comfortable than when Han Xiao and Lu Haoqian were there. Now after going through a lot of tossing, Yan Chong also had to start thinking about re-selecting talents, and Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan, who had neither connections nor connections in the government and the opposition, naturally became Yan Chong's favorite candidates. After all, Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan are both newcomers with very shallow roots in the Jinling government and the opposition, the most loyal, and the easiest to control. As for whether the two of them will go to Lu Haoqian and Han Xiao's old dust in ten or twenty years, that will be a matter for the future. After all, Yan Chong is old, and this selection of talents may be his last time on the throne, when he wants to continue the throne to his descendants, Yan Chong will naturally strip Su Shiyuan and Han Cheng of their power, and then seek new people to support the new emperor. The art of the emperor is the art of killing, but also the art of employing people.

"Okay!" Yan Chong nodded slowly, "Then the emperor will transfer the two of you out of Northern Xinjiang today, and you will be on an errand in the court from now on." He enshrined Hancheng as the Marquis of Xinwu, and enshrined Su Shiyuan as the Marquis of Shangwen. I will leave the matter of quelling the civil unrest to the two of you. Remember, don't learn from Lu Yifan and Han Xiao, they only know how to threaten each other with force, they must do what they do to satisfy the people of the Holy Domain, and they must not plant a curse in the hearts of the people. ”

"We will do our best to live up to the emperor's grace!" Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan bowed in unison.

In terms of official positions, the two of them are still in the "Hou" position, no different from when they were in the Northern Xinjiang before, but in terms of status, the two of them have now left the frontier and returned to the core of the power of the Holy Land, but anyone with a little sense of officialdom knows what this means. Moreover, as soon as Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan came back, they were entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, and Yan Chong's intention to promote and cultivate the two of them is self-evident, and I believe that it will not be long before the "New Wuhou" and "Shang Wenhou" will become "New Wugong" and "Shang Wengong". In fact, today's decision by Yan Chong has already signaled the official end of the era of Lu Haoqian and Han Xiao's ministers, and a new round of power transformation has gradually completed the handover.

The game set up by Su Xie completely turned the Holy Domain upside down, and Lu Yifan went from a big man who everyone admired and trembled when he coughed and trembled in the Holy Domain overnight to a sinner through the ages who was spurned by everyone. And the glorious protector Han Xiao was suddenly demoted to a concubine, and as for Han Cheng and Su Shiyuan, they were gradually pushed to the peak of the power of the Holy Domain court by his secret black hand.
