Everyone looked out through the curtain, waiting with bated breath for Yoo Jin-nian to reply, and they could even think of what amazing actions he would make in anger. Unexpectedly, the prime minister suddenly changed his temperament, and gradually withdrew his angry eyes, and his face showed a calm color again. He leaned forward, grasped the blade of the sword in one hand, picked it up with the other, and heard a soft 'thud' before sheathing it.

"There is some truth in what you say," Liu Zhennian replied coldly, "but whether it is true or not, I still don't know what it is." First of all, you will be secluded elsewhere, and the affairs in the prison will be handed over to the young eunuch to deal with. After the investigation, if you find out that you have half a lie, you will be punished by the nine clans! Do you hear me? ”

Things have developed to such a point, Shi Zhengxiu is not afraid, and replied: "The lower officials are clear! With that, he was dragged out of the house by two officials.

Now it's the ministers' turn to be afraid. Especially Lu Zhixian, who is most trusted by Su Zongshan, has enjoyed a lot of happiness with him, and they all raised their hearts to their throats, staring at Shi Zhengxiu's back tightly, and their hearts were weak for a while. Niu Yuan beside him only glanced at them with a cold eye, and he could see their thoughts, but he didn't pick it out, just smiled.

"Gong Liu, is what Supervisor Shi is telling the truth?"

Niu Yuan followed Liu Zhennian back to the capital hall, and saw that it was the season when the moon and stars were scarce, and there was no one on all sides, so he hurriedly climbed a few steps and asked.

Liu Zhennian looked at him fixedly for a while, and then slowly turned around: "He's not your person?" ”

"Prime Minister!" Niu Yuan leaned down towards him, with a trace of tears shining in his eyes, "That's because everyone saw that I was down, so they did everything possible to frame me!" I don't know how much I have been wronged and how many ups and downs I have experienced! I'm afraid you've listened a little bit. But there is nowhere to dissect the lowly position, so I can only endure this breath......"

Liu Zhennian listened to his words and began to be a little moved, but he didn't want to show it, so he had to force a stiff face and ask: "I don't care who is slandering you now, but I want to know who that Shi Zhengxiu is obeying!" ”

"Say!" Liu Zhennian saw that he was still with his head down, and reached out and grabbed the collar behind his neck.

"It's supposed to be a ...... People who stay in politics. ”

"That's right!" Liu Zhennian slapped him on the shoulder neatly, "Why hide it, say it openly!" Let me tell you, after the people dispersed, I privately asked Shi Zhengxiu for questioning, and he insisted that Su Zongshan formed a party and implicated himself, so he exposed it by the image of the sky. He also told me about all kinds of other things that corrupted the law, and it sounded really outrageous! Not to mention that you have never allowed people in your eyes, and you should have the sharpness to kill people! If you are still so depressed and unambitious, who can rest assured that you can pay for big things! ”

When Niu Yuan heard the words 'pay for a big deal', his heart was shocked, and he raised his sweaty forehead in surprise, but he still thought that Liu Zhennian was testing him, and was extremely careful: "You believe his words like that?" The man dared to name names, perhaps with selfish motives. ”

"Selfishness?" Liu Zhennian smiled helplessly, and dragged out a circle chair, "He is so old, and his selfishness is also left to his children and grandchildren, how can there be a reason to destroy himself?" Even if you don't guess his true intentions, take a look at the recent situation of making ends meet, and you can know what kind of corruption in the court has reached. With that, he sat down and looked expectantly at Niu Yuan again.

Niu Yuan never thought that he would be able to make a comeback, but as soon as he saw Liu Zhennian abandon his previous suspicions, and still gave him a trusting look as usual, a warm current seemed to stir up in his heart, and his knees couldn't help but kneel heavily, put his white head on the ground, and sobbed: "Niu Mou is willing to give advice to Liu Gong, help you clarify the government and the opposition, and change the old style!" ”

Liu Zhennian was sad, hurriedly restrained his twitching lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and concealed his emotional emotion: "Okay, good...... Let him pass the past! Now you're the only one by my side. ”

"Liu Gong, I will always support you, and you will not spit out a word of silence in whatever you do. But your 'protégés' don't share my mind. They are all greedy and cunning, and it is tantamount to asking for their own death if they move their interests. According to the humble position, you can only do a small thing, not a big one. Niu Yuan took two steps forward, grabbed the handle of the chair, and looked at him like a child.

"The world has festered so much, what's the point of a small act?" Liu Zhennian's voice became more and more stern, "If I consult with those protégés, they must persuade me, saying that those crooked theories of 'not destroying internal unity' and 'not giving the enemy party a chance to make profits' are simply fart!" ”

He slapped the table, his eyes red: "I don't pretend to be a decent person today, I admit it, the reason why I bullied the ministers and won over the scholars back then was completely to form a party!" I formed a party in order to overthrow the society of this dynasty, in order to oust the emperor Xiao'er from the throne, they said that I wanted to seek a great rebellion, but I did not refute it; But I've never lived my life for the sake of the common people, drunk and dreaming of death! Now that even the henchmen I raised are not clean, do you still want to protect them because of a little insight into the door? Anyway, looking at today's situation, this official will fall sooner or later, not a day or two! Even if it doesn't work, we have to pull down a few thieves and fall off the horse, and it will be in vain for our life! ”

Niu Yuan didn't think about it, and resolutely responded: "I have treated the prime minister like a teacher for many years, and the prime minister has ambitions, Niu Yuan dares to retreat?" So I'm going to offer a plan to make it happen! ”

Liu Zhennian frowned and said: "Your strategy is usually very aggressive, this case of changing the sky is related to the fate of the imperial court, it is not trivial, it is better to be cautious." ”

Niu Yuan said firmly: "You don't have to be afraid, my plan is foolproof." Su Zongshan has quite a lot of henchmen, so he must not be too cautious and take care of one at the expense of the other, so as to delay the fighter plane and startle the snake. Therefore, it should be done with one move, so that it has no chance to react, and sit back and wait! ”

Su Zongshan's side was not defenseless, he had carefully paid attention to Liu Zhennian's measures at that time, so he was quite anxious, and he had not slept until the second watch. He tossed and turned, how could he fall asleep, so he had to get up and walk to the atrium to paced. Who knew that after pacing a few steps, he became even more nervous and helpless, so he had to secretly summon many henchmen to come to the mansion to discuss matters.

The henchmen only take ink as their business on weekdays, and they only listen to the shrewd political arrangements for everything, so what kind of intelligence is needed? Now that the prime minister has no idea, they are even more ignorant and talk nonsense, but few of them get to the point. After a long time, I saw that the third watch was coming.
