Liu Zhennian didn't sound right, and hurriedly raised his hand to take the notebook, only to see the words on the cover, and his eyes widened.

He hesitated for a long time before slowly putting down the paperwork, with a fierce light in his eyes that had not been seen for a long time: "This Zeng Liang, was it instructed by you?" ”

"This is a recital written by himself, and the lower officials are just passing it on, and everything is still up to the prime minister to decide."

"Do you still want to ask about this kind of thing!" Liu Zhennian suddenly became furious, slammed the song on his face, and scattered to the ground, "It's just that the people outside have opinions about him, you still come to get involved, I really want to fight in the same room, and ruin the country's plan, just say it!" Why beat around the bush like this? ”

Seeing that he was furious, Niu Yuan hurriedly knelt down and picked up the paperwork tremblingly.

"I have always known that you disagree with Yan Wen's political opinions, but you can ...... you" Speaking of this, Liu Zhennian sighed worriedly, "You can't abolish the public because of personal interests." Those thieves are already watching my position, but you still have to engage in party fighting, and you dare to do this kind of thing that hurts relatives and enemies are happy!

“…… Niu Fengxiang, hurry up and burn the book, even if you are determined to make trouble, can you put up with him first? Liu Zhennian's voice gradually calmed down, as if he was pleading.

Niu Yuan knelt on the ground and said in a choked voice: "Liu Gong, the fault of this matter is not all mine!" Wasn't it because Yan Wen was jealous of his fame that he wanted to use this new deal to fight against me. If I don't impeach him today, it will be Niu who will die on another day! It's come to the point where you're dead and alive, and you can't retreat, I hope you're thinking about it......"

Liu Zhennian's face was like ashes, and he sat there stiffly, like an old beast on the verge of death, with a gloomy gaze and a dead silence, only the breeze blew his sleeves to hunt, and his white hair gently brushed up.

"Take the sword." His eyes were fixed on the ground, motionless.

"Under ......"

"Bring me my sword! Needless to say. ”

Niu Yuan had nothing to say, so he had to take a sword from the shelf next to him, put it horizontally in his hand, knelt on two knees, and offered it: "General Liu, Niu has already realized this trip, either Yan Wen dies, or I die...... After many years of servant service, I have received your great kindness, and it is not a pity to die. It's a pity that Liu Gong can't understand things, and it's hard to look at it. ”

Liu Zhennian did not reply, and quickly picked up the sword, and the scabbard fell off; Niu Yuan was stunned, raised his head, and closed his eyes tightly.

Liu Zhennian stretched his sword forward, only a few inches from his neck. But the blade hung in the air for a long time, and gradually retracted, and patted it on his shoulder blade.

So at this moment, Liu Zhennian's expression was only hesitation. After he was stunned for a while, he resolutely gritted his teeth, waved his arm fiercely, and the sword swept straight over!

Niu Yuan heard the sound of the sword blade coming with the wind, and he knew that he was going to die, and he even held his breath; The sound of the wind rushed past his ears, and there was no sudden pain.

"Just open your eyes."

Niu Yuan was still thinking about himself, and when he heard Liu Zhennian speak, he opened his eyes suddenly, pinched his hand on his neck a few times, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Prime Minister......

"I can't bear to kill you," Liu Zhennian turned his back and put his sword back into the sheath, "I won't want to kill Yan Wen." But I will allow you to pass it over to you, and watch you fight. Go, fight. ”

"No matter what, the final decision is also up to you," Niu Yuan stood up and said, "You haven't listened to the government for the past few days, and you have blindly listened to Yan Wen's explanation, you are already quite confused, are you still unwilling to listen to the facts?" ”

"You think it's really not clear?" Liu Zhennian turned around and shouted angrily, "He made those new deals, he killed those people, and punished those squires, which one I don't understand?" But you remember, he is not the previous Jiewenwu, not Rong Qing, but the mastermind of the true phase! He has fallen, and on whom do the affairs of the world depend? Well, you people don't care. After speaking, he strode into the middle hall and no longer argued with Niu Yuan.

"Grandpa Lu is here!"

The crown prince, dressed in civilian clothes, walked out from behind the curtain with Lan Yuan, and greeted the visiting eunuch Lu Xinzhong with a smile.

Eunuch Lu hurriedly saluted and said: "The slave is just a lowly servant waiting for the emperor, and his status is low, how dare he go out to greet His Highness, it is really scary." ”

"As the heir of the country, I need to put filial piety first and set an example for the people of the world. My father-in-law has worked hard to serve my father, how can I be slow to treat each other, please take a seat. The prince was full of good words, and took the opportunity to give Lan Yuan, the attendant, a circle chair, and invited Lu Xinzhong to sit down.

"The slave is on the orders of Chief Shen to ask if you are in good health. Because I saw His Highness in a haggard spirit yesterday, I was very worried. Lu Xinzhong said.

The prince didn't know what he meant, so he had to answer truthfully: "This king has been fine, this is what Chief Shen has thought too much." ”

Lu Xinzhong smiled: "That's fine." However, Fang Jin's new policy has caused some chaos, although the emperor has made a will, but he is also afraid that the people below will mess up, and his heart of worrying about the country is overflowing. Your Majesty has handed over the authority to you, and I hope that Your Highness can set the situation right. ”

"Axe?" The prince laughed helplessly, "This matter is all for Yan to participate in politics, this king is young and ignorant of national affairs, how can he give advice?" ”

"Alas, you can't say that," Lu Xinzhong said, "Your Highness is wise and wise, and will inherit the great cause of the sect in the future, as long as the policy is decided, how dare others discuss?" ”

Seeing that the prince's face turned a little pale, Lu Xinzhong continued to fan the flames: "It's not that the slave is talkative, Yan Xiang has gone mad now." His methods are extremely clever, but unfortunately he can't master the fire. In case of ruining a major event and forcing His Majesty to suffer innocently, I am afraid that he will have to issue an edict to punish himself. You are the most beloved emperor, and you should persuade him. ”

"Father-in-law Lu, what if you can't persuade you?" Lan Yuan didn't say a polite word, and asked bluntly.

Lu Xinzhong rolled his eyes and hurriedly said: "The slave is just a eunuch temple, and his knowledge is far inferior to that of the ministers in the court, so he really doesn't dare to say too much about everything. But you must be loyal to the emperor in all your work, and there is nothing wrong with that. The most important thing is to protect the emperor, not to let the holy driver be affected, and get a bad reputation. ”

The prince only heard his prevarication, and his heart was very unhappy, so he had to reply hastily: "Yes, loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of life, and you must not worry about the sacred heart." ”

"Okay, the slave has finished what he should say, and it is not appropriate to stay in the East Palace for a long time, so I will leave." After that, Lu Xinzhong immediately got up, and the prince ordered someone to send him out of the palace, but he just watched him go away.

"I came here and said a bunch of useless words, I really don't know what Mr. Shen means!" The prince returned to the study and scolded softly.

"Not really." Lan Yuan said with a smile.

"How?" The prince's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he hurriedly motioned for Lan Yuan to sit down.
