Chapter 91, the confrontation in front of the king!

"Li Muyang?" The West Wind Monarch Chu Xianda felt that this name was quite familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Every year, there is the first literary examination, and every year it is necessary to 'personally write the royal approval'. Sometimes it is Chu Xianda who approves it himself, and more often it is approved by the Inner Court Division.

Maybe I saw it somewhere, but the memory is not deep enough.

"It's Li Muyang." Lu Xingkong bowed his hand to Chu Xianda and said in a deep voice: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." ”

King Wen Chu Xianda's eyebrows were raised, and he asked, "Lord Guowei, how can I be happy?" ”

"Isn't it a great joy to be a pillar of the country? The emperor's personal writing of the imperial point of the first literary test is really extraordinary. Brave and resourceful, loyal and righteous. When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help. ”

"If it weren't for that Li Muyang risking his life and death to rescue General Xu, I, Xifeng, would have lost the general. Therefore, please also ask the emperor to reward this heroic young man to show the majesty of the sky. ”

Chu Xianda looked at Lu Xingkong thoughtfully, and said, "Your Excellency, you have repeatedly said that the Supervision Department has framed Zhongliang and is a heavy criminal general—do you know that the Supervision Department is my Supervision Department?" Is it Zephyr's Inspectorate? ”

"The minister knows." Lu Xingkong bowed and saluted.

"Now it's just your words, and I can't be sure what the truth is. When the Director of Supervision, Shi Cuizhaoren, returns to the capital, I will summon him to come and inquire about him. If the truth is as the Captain said, I will definitely give General Xu Da justice, and I will also give a commendation to Li Muyang, the young man who has the courage to save people. ”

"Your Majesty—"

Chu Xianda waved his hand and said, "Lord Guowei, you are an important minister of the country, what will others think of wearing such a heavy armor and facing a monarch?" What will this Manchu civil and military think? Captain, you're a slap in the face. ”

Lu Xingkong bowed down and apologized, and said, "The minister is guilty." The minister was just worried about the military situation of Longyuan, and he was worried that my country would lose its territory. He also asked the emperor to punish the crime. ”

"Lord Guowei is for the country and the people, how can I punish crimes? In that case, wouldn't I be a faint king? Chu Xianda looked at Lu Xingkong with a kind smile and said, "Lord Guowei, go back first, and when the truth of the matter is revealed, I will naturally make a fair ruling." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty—" Lu Xingkong's purpose was achieved, and he was about to turn around and leave.

"Your Majesty, Lord Cui asks to see you-" The chamberlain Li Fu stood at the door of the Taihe Hall and bowed down to report.

"Huh?" Chu Xianda glanced at Lu Xingkong and said with a smile: "He made an appointment with Lord Guowei, right?" Why did you come here at this time? ”

Chu Xianda waved his hand and said to Li Fu: "It's just in time, there are a lot of people, so let's go and invite Master Cui in." ”

Cui Xichen strode into the hall, saw Lu Xingkong standing on the side, and shouted angrily: "Lu Xingkong, you are so vicious, aren't you afraid of retribution?" ”

"I don't know what Lord Cui means by this--but when it comes to being ruthless and acting viciously, no one dares to compare with Lord Cui, right?" Lu Xingkong said expressionlessly.

"I do have a political disagreement with you, but you can't be so cruel to the younger generations of the family - Lu Xingkong, don't you have sons and grandchildren? Aren't you afraid of cutting off your children and grandchildren? ”

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Lu Xingkong looked proud.

"Okay, I'm going to see if you've done anything wrong, and see if you're afraid of ghosts knocking on the door-" Cui Xichen's eyes showed murderous intentions. He died of a grandson, and he always had to seek justice from Lu Xingkong, the family of the old horseman.

"Two adults-" Chu Xianda interrupted the quarrel between the two and said, "Arguing above the court is insulting to the national body. Also, who can tell me what happened? ”

Cui Xichen fell to his knees and begged in a mournful voice: "Please ask the emperor to be the master of the old minister." ”

"Master Cui, do you have any grievances to complain about?"

"Shi Cui Zhaoren, the director of the Supervision Department of the West Wind Empire, was robbed and killed on the way to Beijing to arrest Xu Da, a felony of the imperial court, and dozens of supervisors were unfortunately killed in battle." Cui Xichen bowed his head deeply, and his sadness flowed backwards.

"Bold." Cui Xianda jumped like thunder, walked around in the Taihe Palace, and shouted: "It's really lawless-the Supervision Department is my Supervision Department, and it is the Supervision Department of the Empire. Those supervision histories are also my supervision history, the supervision history of the empire. Who dares to rob them? How dare you do this to them? ”

Cui Xichen raised his head, looked at Lu Xingkong with vicious eyes, and said, "This is the person." ”

"Lu Xingkong-" Chu Xianda glared angrily and said, "What Master Cui said is true?" ”

"Master Cui, this is a reprimand, and he has committed the crime of bullying the king." Lu Xingkong sneered and said, "I have already reported the specific details to the emperor just now, and every sentence is true. The emperor only needs to send the Inner Court Department to investigate, and it will naturally come to light. ”

"Lu Xingkong, didn't you send someone to kill Shi Cui Zhaoren, the director of the Supervision Department? Didn't you slaughter those dozens of inspectors? ”

"It's not." Lu Xingkong refuted on the spot. "The person who killed Cui Zhaoren was the young hero Li Muyang, Li Muyang was the first in the imperial literary examination personally approved by the emperor - Li Muyang encountered this incident on the way to study, can this be regarded as the person I sent?"

"Besides, Cui Zhaoren is the history of the Imperial Supervision Department, he does not follow the king's orders, disregards the national system, frames Zhongliang, and slanders the frontier general Xu Da-" Lu Xingkong Huo Ran turned around, looked at Chu Xianda and asked, "Does the emperor have a secret edict granted to Cui Zhaoren?" ”

"W-no."

"Can the emperor know in advance about Cui Zhaoren's detention of Xu Da, which has caused the instability of the Broken Dragon Yuan Fortress?"

"I don't know."

"Isn't it a crime of bullying the monarch that the sharp weapon of the country has become a tool for some people to attack dissident political enemies?"

"Land and air—"

"Master Cui, is there something wrong with me?"

"That's enough." Chu Xianda shouted to stop. His gaze swept over Lu Xingkong and Cui Xichen's faces, and said, "The killing of Shi Cui Zhaoren, the director of the Supervision Department, and dozens of supervision histories, is not trivial. The rights and wrongs must be investigated. But now it's only the two of you're one-sided, and I can't make a judgment. Your Excellency, when will General Xu Da enter Beijing? ”

Lu Xingkong glanced at Cui Xichen and said, "There are still a few days to arrive in Tiandu." ”

"What about Li Muyang?"

"It is said that after a fierce battle with Choi Zhaoren, this young hero was also seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown, and we are also trying to find it." Lu Xingkong looked worried, and said: "This is a young hero personally ordered by the emperor, if he is involved in this conspiracy against the old minister, it will really make the old minister feel guilty." ”

Cui Xichen was about to fight back, but was interrupted by Chu Xianda and said, "Then it's hard for the national captain." When General Xu Da enters Beijing, bring him to see me as soon as possible - and that Li Muyang, and bring him with him after I find him. I'm going to ask in person. ”

"Yes." Lu Xingkong agreed. "The old minister retired."

When Lu Xingkong left, Cui Xichen walked up to Chu Xianda and said, "Your Majesty, this matter can't be stopped-"

"Waste." Chu Xianda shouted angrily, shook his sleeves and left.

Cui Xichen straightened his back, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Lu Xingkong, you old horseman - you kill me, and I will destroy you." ――

Choi family. Backyard.

Yan Soma hurriedly ran over and banged heavily on the door panel.

The little maid inside came over impatiently and asked, "Who?" In such a hurry? ”

"It's me, Yan Soma—are you careful?"

"Young Master Soma-" The little maid hurriedly opened the door, she knew that the young lady had lived in Jiangnan for many years, and she had a harmonious relationship with Yan Xiangma's brothers and sisters. "Miss is drinking tea and reading books in the yard."

"I'll go find her." As Yan Xiangma spoke, he walked quickly towards the small courtyard.

Cui Xianxin was wearing a long skirt inlaid with pale pink Tiandu cherry blossoms, combing a pure and beautiful looking falling ponytail, holding an ancient scroll, and the tea fragrance on the table in front of him was faint.

Glamorous and untouchable, the three bright moons of the empire do have their extraordinary.

Hearing the conversation between Yan Xiangma and the maid, and seeing him hurrying over, he closed the book and asked aloud, "Cousin, what happened?" ”

"Be careful, did you hear?" Yan Xiangma sat opposite Cui Chengxin, poured himself a cup of tea, and poured it down.

As soon as he heard the news, he ran towards this place as soon as possible. Cui's mansion is too big, and I'm really a little thirsty after such a run.

"What did you hear?" Cui Cheng looked puzzled.

"Cousin Teruto was killed." Yan Xiangma lowered his voice and whispered.

"What?" Cui was startled, his little face turned pale, and said, "Brother Zhaoren, how could he be killed?" ”

"I don't know how it was killed. But I know who killed me. Yan Xiangma said with a worried face. Looking at my cousin's beautiful face, I thought to myself, I'm afraid that this piece of black charcoal and the Cui family have a mortal enmity. Let's not talk about whether he can get together with his cousin, even if he is a friend in the future, he won't have to do it.

As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly remembered that not only his cousin, but also himself could not be friends with him.

Suddenly, I felt a little melancholy.

"Who killed him?" Cui carefully saw his cousin coming in such a hurry, and knew that this matter must be extraordinary.

Moreover, this matter should still be closely related to himself, otherwise, why did he run over to tell himself?

"Li Muyang." Yan Xiangma said in a deep voice.

"How is this possible?" Cui was about to bring tea to moisten his throat to calm his mood, but before the teacup could reach his lips, when he heard this explosive answer, his wrist trembled slightly, and the teacup in his hand fell on the blue brick floor.
