Daliang Palace is located on the central axis of the capital, the high palace wall separates the palace inside and outside the palace into two worlds, like a giant beast in the wilderness, majestic and indifferent looking at the world, people can't help but have a sense of awe. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that the perennially closed cold palace door indifferently refuses all the peeping eyes of the outside world, and the strict palace ban allows the royal family to stand far away in that small space, even the royal family is not allowed to enter and exit at will, and anyone who enters the palace must be subject to many searches and inquiries, and there will be expressionless forbidden soldiers following behind, looking more like escorting prisoners, if they do taboo actions, don't doubt that they will really attack mercilessly.

It wasn't the first time Chu Nan had entered the palace, and it wouldn't be the last, but he was still curious about the most powerful place in this vast area. In Chu Nan's opinion, the strict guards, in addition to showing the majesty of the royal family, I am afraid that there is also a strong sense of vigilance, even if Emperor Liang is the most powerful person in the world, he still has to take care of those great masters who should not appear in the world, especially the number one assassin in the world in Yingzhou City.

Following behind the delicate little yellow door, after several checks along the way, Chu Nan finally came to the outside of the imperial study. At this time, a tall and burly guard stepped forward and completed the handover of the little yellow door and the guard who was responsible for "escorting" Chu Nan, and looked at Chu Nan a few times before whispering: "Don't blame Lord Chu, this is the rule of the palace, except for a few old adults, everyone has to go through it, not to mention that Lord Chu is a raw face." ”

Chu Nan smiled and nodded, signaling that he understood. The guard didn't say much, but stepped aside and continued to be on guard.

Li Renxiao had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when he saw Chu Nan coming in, he hurriedly walked over, signaled Chu Nan to hurry in, and said in a low voice: "Little Chu, hurry up, Wang Liang and the two adults have already arrived, just waiting for you." ”

Chu Nan quickened his pace, thanked him softly, and casually stuffed a silver ticket over.

Li Renxiao pretended to glance at it unintentionally, tucked it into his sleeve without moving, walked in front and said softly: "Just now, Lord Liang said something bad to Lord Xiao Chu to His Majesty, but His Majesty has not said it, Lord Xiao Chu should be careful when he speaks, don't annoy Your Majesty." ”

Chu Nan frowned, took out another silver ticket, but saw Li Renxiao shaking his head slightly.

Li Renxiao looked at Emperor Liang from a distance, turned around and walked outside, and explained softly when he passed by Chu Nan's side: "Miss Yang Yu has already taken care of Lord Xiao Chu, and it will not be authentic for the miscellaneous family to collect money from Lord Xiao Chu." ”

Saying that, Li Renxiao had a different idea in his heart, Yang Yu's identity was not a secret to a eunuch of Li Renxiao's level, and Chu Nan was not the kind of little person with no background who wanted to pat himself on the back and climb up, a few thousand taels of silver was far less than Chu Nan's friendship, and it was rumored in the capital that Chu Nan would be punished, but who knew Emperor Liang's thoughts.

Chu Nan was not reluctant, and walked towards the room, thinking silently in his heart, although Yang Yu seemed to be as heartless as Yang Lin, but he was much more far-sighted than Yang Lin, and quietly took care of himself up and down, even Yang Mei had never had such a thought.

Emperor Liang watched Chu Nan come in and glanced at him expressionlessly, but Liang Rang didn't bother to turn back at all, and even deliberately twisted his head to the side, only Wang Defu nodded with a smile.

After Chu Nan greeted Emperor Liang, he didn't know what to say when he looked at the stagnant atmosphere, but Wang Defu and Liang Rang were much higher than their status, and this was not the time to be strong, so he simply stood behind Wang Defu, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but he was silently thinking about his heart in his heart.

Emperor Liang slowly raised his head, looked at Chu Nan lightly, and asked, "Sure enough, Liang Rang is right, you are really perverse, do you know that I and the two of them have been waiting here for more than half an hour." ”

Chu Nan glanced at Liang Rang, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The discord between the minister and Lord Liang is mostly due to the difference in the style of doing things, and it is not possible to talk about who is right and who is wrong, and the minister's actions should not be perverse." As for the minister coming so late, it was also because the minister did not have to go to the palace every day like Lord Liang and Wang Shilang, and the minister hurriedly rushed to the palace without stopping for a moment when he heard the news, and the inspection along the way was delayed for some time, so I really can't complain about me. ”

Emperor Liang sneered again and again, frowned and reprimanded: "I don't know how to bow my head and admit my mistakes, but there are so many excuses, are you doing this as a minister?"

Chu Nan lowered his head and said slowly: "This is the way to be a minister in my heart. ”

Wang Defu looked at Chu Nan in surprise, while Liang Rang couldn't help sneering again and again, thinking that Chu Nan was used to being arrogant outside, and this time he was so tough in front of Emperor Liang, isn't this looking for death?

Emperor Liang glanced at Chu Nan deeply, suddenly shook his head and laughed, pointed at Chu Nan and said: "What a way to be a minister in your heart, so far, you are the second person who dares to say what you think in your heart so bluntly." So, I don't blame you this time. ”

Chu Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pouting at Liang Rang, and Liang Rang frowned in anger.

Now that the people have arrived, Emperor Liang no longer delayed, and said: "There are too many things to deal with after the Northern Expedition, and I can't find time to deal with the cases in the south for a while. By yesterday, most of the matter had finally been dealt with, and the case in the south had to have a result, otherwise people outside would have to guess blindly. ”

Liang Rang's mind turned, gritted his teeth and said: "This time, as the chief official of this case, the emperor is not strict, first the king does not regret the abolition of the public because of private interests, and then the commander of Chu acted unscrupulously, causing a huge disaster, making the man's situation out of control for a while, and asking His Majesty to punish him." ”

Chu Nan looked at Liang Rang coldly, and sneered in his heart, what a crime of asking his majesty to be lax, so that Chu Nan and Wang Defu have to bear all the other troubles.

Originally, if the three of them were unified, Emperor Liang would not care about the small details of the unruly handling of the case, at least, today he deliberately called the three of them alone, and did not let the three of them go to the court has faintly indicated Emperor Liang's attitude.

Emperor Liang also wanted to end the matter as soon as possible, and didn't want to make a big fuss.

Wang Defu has always been tepid, at least when he was in the south, he never went to the front of the stage, first Liang Rang, then Chu Nan, and he is Emperor Liang's brother-in-law, even if Liang Rang has a big grievance in his heart, he does not dare to involve him at this time, but he does not leave Chu Nan's fault.

Emperor Liang listened to Liang Rang's words very carefully, nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Nan coldly and asked, "What do you have to say?"

When he was in Jiangnan, Liang Rang's original intention was to let Chu Nan rush in front and sit in the back to reap the benefits, but he didn't expect Chu Nan to be so bold and decisive, and the Zhang family's bloodbath made the entire Liang tremble, and at the last moment, when he wanted to regain power, Chu Nan was bold enough to use martial arts techniques to knock himself down, which is really a great shame!

Liang Rang looked at Chu Nan coldly, no matter what, Liang Yanjing wanted to give an explanation to everyone in the capital and the clans in Jiangnan who were still trembling, and now that he was like this, even if Chu Nan stood behind the Chu family, becoming a scapegoat could only be the only choice.

Chu Nan's expression was faint, and he was not moved by Emperor Liang's Leng Sensen's inquiry, and said softly: "The minister has nothing to say!"

Emperor Liang sneered, slapped the bookcase in front of him fiercely, and said sharply: "What a person who has nothing to say! You committed such a big disaster in Jiangnan, did not wait for my holy decree, acted without authorization, and finally involved the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu and the general military palace of Zhenjiang, causing unprecedented turmoil in our dynasty, shouldn't you explain it and give me an explanation?"

Chu Nan didn't think it was a wise thing to compete with Emperor Liang at this time, so he sighed in his heart and stepped forward, bowed his head and said: "If Your Majesty thinks that the minister has done something wrong, the minister is willing to admit his guilt and be punished without complaint." ”

Emperor Liang seemed to be very satisfied with Chu Nan's attitude of admitting his mistakes, his expression softened slightly, and he still snorted coldly, and said, "Then you think you are right?"

Chu Nan lowered his head even more, and said in a muffled voice: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Emperor Liang said meaningfully: "Don't dare? Do you really blame me in your heart? Wang Defu, do you say that I blame him, or is he wrong." ”

Wang Defu, who had always been in the old god, suddenly came to his senses, thought about it and said in a deep voice: "The old minister thinks that Lord Chu is guilty, and it is a big crime, and it should not be spared!"

Chu Nan's body shook slightly, but Liang Rang couldn't help but sneer again and again, Wang Defu has always been very favored by Emperor Liang, and this sentence alone is enough to completely knock Chu Nan into the dust!

Wang Defu didn't care about the reactions of others, and said to himself: "Lord Chu's most wrong thing is to be too loyal to His Majesty and Da Liang!"

Emperor Liang looked surprised, chuckled and said, "Go on!"

Wang Defu bent down, arched his hand and said: "When I was in Jiangnan, Lord Chu always told the old minister that the Zhang family in Jiangnan acted arrogantly and unscrupulously, and has always been a big beam and a big trouble for His Majesty. Of course, the old minister felt that relying on a small Zhang family was not enough to make the court jealous. But at this time, the problem arose, Lord Chu was bent on sweeping away the scourge he had identified for the Liang, for the court, and for His Majesty, and he was like a great enemy in the face of such a small Zhang family, and he actually put his life and death aside and fought with the Zhang family. Of course, the old minister said, the Zhang family is really nothing, with the assistance of the Zhenjiang general soldiers, it is naturally like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and the Zhang family is easily knocked into the dust, Lord Chu is too serious about the Zhang family, although his heart is commendable, but ............. ”

Liang Rang was dumbfounded, looking at Wang Defu speechless, now the Zhang family is a little down, but at the beginning, the Zhang family in Jiangnan can be said to be like Zhongtian, when Emperor Liang compromised with the Zhang family one after another for the sake of the overall situation, is there no reason? Although Wang Defu is guilty of not leaving Chu Nan, but at this time, fools know that this is excusing Chu Nan, but he also makes others speechless, do you want to say, Wang Defu, you lied, the Zhang family was powerful at the beginning, even if Liang Yanjing was afraid of three points?

Emperor Liang looked at Wang Defu who had a lotus tongue, and then looked at Chu Nan, who bowed his head and was silent, as if he wanted to be happy, and couldn't help but interrupt with a smile: "According to what you say, if I really punish him, I will become a dumb king who will not be loyal and annihilated!"

Wang Defu had a straight face and said categorically: "Your Majesty, punishment must be punished, who made him underestimate the strength and bearing of the imperial court? Not punishing is not enough to set an example!"

Chu Nan couldn't help but glance at Wang Defu with a smile, and couldn't help but be surprised that Wang Defu stood with him at this time, and was even more surprised by Wang Defu's eloquence.

Emperor Liang glanced at Liang Rang, who was ashen, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Okay, I'm tired, as for how to deal with Er, I still have to think about it, you all go down!"

Although Liang Rang was a little unwilling, he naturally didn't dare to say much, and took the lead in walking outside, Chu Nan was just about to go out with Wang Defu, when he heard Emperor Liang say lightly: "Chu Nan, you stay, I have something to say to you......"
