Nothing was said all night, early the next morning.

Xuanzheng Palace.

The civil and military officials arrived early and stood in two rows.

"Lord Zhang, this official heard that the emperor returned to Kyoto yesterday, it doesn't seem to have alarmed anyone, right? What does the emperor want to do? What kind of medicine is sold in this treasure gourd? ”

"Well, I also heard that there was no news after the emperor returned to the palace directly, this is not like the emperor's character, I don't think things are so simple, after all, the emperor's assassination is an iron-clad fact, and it is impossible to give up with the emperor's temper."

"Hey, who knows, anyway, the emperor destroyed the Xixia Kingdom this time and turned the entire Xixia Kingdom into my Dayan's Xixia Mansion, I admire the emperor very much."

“……”

Officials were talking.

And at this moment, the Queen Mother Zhao Suzhi walked into the Xuanzheng Hall with a gloomy face and sat directly in the position at hand under the dragon chair.

And so, I waited another quarter of an hour.

Tang Tingbai wore a majestic dragon robe and walked into the Xuanzheng Palace.

Seeing Tang Tingbai, all the civil and military officials bowed in unison, and their voices were respectful.

"Ministers and others meet the emperor, long live my emperor night, long live!"

Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, get up, I haven't seen you for a while, you Aiqing have worked hard!"

"The ministers don't dare, the emperor opens up the territory for Dayan, and you are the hardest one, the emperor!" Zhang Tiandao of the household department was the first to speak, and his voice was respectful.

That's what he said!

During this time, the happiest thing in the entire Dayan is Zhang Tiandao, the head of the household department.

The reason is very simple, a few days ago, the White Tiger Army escorted tens of millions of taels of silver back to Kyoto, and all the money went into the treasury of the household department.

For this poor and scared household, as long as there is money, everything is easy to say!

Other officials also spoke, mostly compliments.

Tang Tingbai smiled, and he cleared his throat.

"Everyone, you should have all heard that when I was in Shannan Mansion a few days ago, I was assassinated by Yang Ye, the former prefect of Shannan, and almost died."

"After a strict investigation by Jinyiwei, this matter is not the unauthorized decision of Yang Ye, the former prefect of Shannan, but someone behind the scenes, after a series of investigations, in the end, the spearhead of all the evidence is pointed at the court and a power group!"

What?

Hearing this, the faces of the civil and military officials changed in unison, and even their breathing became a little heavier.

Many officials shrank their necks in fright, although they didn't do it, but no one knew what this tyrant would do, would he be in a bad mood and kill them directly.

Prime Minister Su Zhen was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, there are only three major force groups in the Great Yan Dynasty, namely the East China Sea, Nanshan, and West Lake, which force did it?" Lao Chen will never let them go, and our entire Nanshan will not let them go! ”

Su Zhen's words were murderous, and his eyes kept staring at the Queen Mother Zhao Suzhi!

Zhao Suzhi's face was ugly, she didn't expect that Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, would directly say this matter in the court and tear his face directly with them in the East China Sea.

She was about to speak.

The central general Zhuge Invincible also stood up!

"Your Majesty, if the minister supports the prime minister, no matter which force does it, the minister will not let go of the other party, and the emperor who dares to assassinate my Dayan, aren't they afraid of death?"

When Zhuge Invincible spoke, the murderous aura on his body was unconsciously released, and the murderous aura was soaring.

And the situation in the court has also undergone subtle changes.

Nanshan and Xihu both expressed their positions, and both said that they would severely punish the masterminds behind the scenes.

What does this mean?

It shows that this matter was done by Donghai.

Tang Tingbai looked at the Queen Mother Zhao Suzhi with a smile on his face: "Queen Mother, with all the evidence that Jinyiwei has so far, you are preparing to rebel in the East China Sea, I am not wrong, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Suzhi stood up with a cold face: "It's nonsense, the emperor, you must not listen to the villain's slander, Donghai is loyal to the court, please be aware of it!" ”

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Zhao Suzhi has already greeted the eighteenth generation of Tang Tingbai's ancestors.

How could she possibly admit to rebellion?

After all, on this continent, reputation is extremely important.

The support of the people is also important.

To put it bluntly, many people are both standing and standing.

Many things are just separated by a layer of window paper, and this window paper is to deceive the people of the world.

For example, a few years ago, some feudal kings raised troops to attack Kyoto under the banner of the Qing monarch.

What is the Qingjun side?

It's just an excuse.

The real purpose of the vassal king was to rebel.

But although everyone knows this kind of thing, no one will say such a thing.

Villain slander?

Tang Tingbai smiled, he stretched: "Since the Queen Mother said that it was a villain's slander, then I will let you meet a few old friends!" ”

As he spoke, Tang Tingbai beckoned.

Li Yuanfang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard guarding the gate of the Xuanzheng Palace, nodded immediately, and he waved his hand.

Immediately, two brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and carrying embroidered spring knives at their waists dragged a middle-aged man with a bloody face walking in.

Bang –

The two brocade guards slammed the middle-aged man to the ground.

And the civil and military officials frowned when they saw this middle-aged man.

"Who is this man? This official always felt so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, this official also feels this way, and I always feel like I've seen this guy somewhere."

"Wait, he, he, he seems to be Shan Xiongxin, the prefect of Shandong, Lord Shan!"

“……”

There was a lot of discussion among the officials, and their faces were not good-looking.

Even some hot-tempered officials pointed at Jinyiwei's nose and scolded, obviously angry that Jinyiwei beat the three-rank members of the imperial court like this.

Even Prime Minister Su Zhen, who had known the news for a long time, had an ugly face.

He knew that the emperor was ruthless, but he didn't expect that the dignified three-grade member had no face at all in front of the emperor, and was beaten like a dog!

Tang Tingbai sat high on the dragon chair, his voice cold.

"Shan Xiongxin, honestly explain what you have done in Shandong Mansion over the years, there is half a lie, you know the consequences!"

Hearing this, he was covered in blood, and Shan Xiongxin, who was lying on the ground of the Xuanzheng Palace, trembled, and his eyes were full of despair and fear.

He knew too well the methods of this tyrant, and finally knew what it meant to live rather than die.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty."

"These old ministers have secretly increased the taxes of the people of Shandong Mansion, looted the people's fat and ointment, and even paid as much as eighty percent less when they handed over the imperial court tax silver, and these old ministers stayed in the treasury of Shandong Mansion, waiting for the queen mother to rebel."

"At the same time, the emperor was assassinated, and the old minister also knew, but the old minister never participated, all of this was secretly instructed by the Queen Mother Zhao Suzhi behind her back, the old minister deserved to die, all this is the fault of the old minister, and it has nothing to do with the old minister's family, please ask the emperor to be gracious!"

After speaking, Shan Xiongxin's voice was full of tremors, and he kowtowed again and again.

Tang Tingbai's face was calm, and he looked at Zhao Suzhi with a smile: "Queen Mother, Shan Xiongxin is a member of the former Shandong Prefect Zhengsanpin, and he is also a core member of your East China Sea, his words can't be fake, right?" ”

Zhao Suzhi snorted coldly, and she was extremely angry in her heart.

She hated Shan Xiongxin, a spineless thing.

I hate Tang Tingbai, a despicable villain, even more, and he actually bent into a trick!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shan Xiongxin must have suffered inhuman torture before, and even Jinyiwei's group of dogs are likely to use Shan Xiongxin's family and family to threaten him.

"Your Majesty, a small single Xiongxin can't explain anything, the mourning family is dedicated to Dayan, it is impossible for the mourning family to rebel, it is definitely slander, please ask the emperor to strictly investigate this matter and the mourning family is innocent."

Zhao Suzhi's face was cold, and his voice was full of murderous aura.

And all the civil and military officials sighed.

They knew that whether it was Yang Ye, the prefect of Shannan, who arranged the assassins without authorization, or whether this matter was really secretly instigated by Zhao Suzhi.

Even if the East China Sea is not destroyed today, it will have to break its muscles and bones!

And after listening to Zhao Suzhi's words, Tang Tingbai laughed again, and his tone was relaxed: "Hehe, since the Queen Mother still has to quibble, then I will convince you to lose!" ”

After speaking, Tang Tingbai looked at Li Yuanfang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was guarding the gate of the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Yuan Fang, bring the rest of the people up!"

Li Yuanfang nodded and beckoned.

Immediately, three more people were dragged into the Xuanzheng Hall by Jinyi Wei like dead dogs!

The three were still covered in blood, and some even had their fingers cut off and were still bleeding.

Li Yuanfang walked into the Xuanzheng Hall and knelt on one knee in front of Tang Tingbai, his voice respectful.

"Your Majesty, Xu Min, the prefect of Hebei, Duguhou, the prefect of Longyou, and Sima Tank, the chief soldier of Henan, are here!"

Tang Tingbai nodded, looked at the three people lying on the ground, covered in blood, and his voice was cold!

"Tell me, when are you going to rebel in the East China Sea, and who are involved?"

"If you dare to tell a half-truth, you know my methods!"
