Ding Nie saw everyone behaving like this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a little smugness.

But then he reined in it again, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the prince's subordinates and horses are indeed the guards of the minister's mansion who robbed them!"

But!

That doesn't mean it's the order of the minister!

Perhaps, it may be that slave of Lord Yun happened to have a personal vendetta with those guards.

This can't be just a deliberate revenge on a few guards, and it has nothing to do with the ministers.

At most, the minister has a crime of lax majesty! ”

When he finished speaking, everyone was surprised, they didn't expect him to use such an almost scoundrel way to exonerate himself.

But it's also barely in the past.

At this time, a squire from the ministry stood up and said:

"Captain Ding, even though beating the guards of King Yun's servants may be a personal act of seeking personal vengeance, why did they rob the horses?

This is not the right thing to do for personal revenge!

What's more, King Yun's BMW has also been seen by the officials, and it can be recognized at a glance as a good BMW, and it can never be owned by the servants of King Yun, so where did they have the courage to dare to rob the horse of the prince of the dynasty?

Could it be that they thought that the laws of the court could not govern them?

Also, where is the BMW of His Royal Highness King Yun now, is it in the Taiwei's mansion?

If it's not there, it's better to say, but if it's there, what does that mean?

Did they rob this horse on their own outpouring of money, or did they rob it purposefully at someone's instigation?! ”

Ding Nie's eyes instantly turned cold, and he looked at the loud servant with a threatening tone and said:

"Could it be that you suspect that it was Captain Ben who instructed them to rob it?"

The squire didn't care about Ding Nie's threat, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"The lower official didn't say that, but if the lieutenant wants to sit in the right seat, it's not necessary!"

This squire's words were already obvious, and he directly aimed the finger at Ding Nie.

The officials of the court suddenly let out a chuckle.

"Presumptuous!"

Ding Nie was so angry that he forgot that this was the court, not his mansion, and immediately shouted angrily.

However, before he could say anything, the civil officials who caught the cause instantly rushed up.

"Presumptuous? Tai Lieutenant, as the Tai Lieutenant of the Dynasty, is it the work of a minister to be so presumptuous in the court? That's what you can say?! ”

"Taiwei Ding, could it be that you no longer put the court and Your Majesty in your eyes, and think that this Great Song Dynasty is your mansion, and everyone has to listen to you!"

"Captain Ding, your actions are against etiquette!"

"Captain Ding......"

……

It is often said that three women in one play, and five women are equivalent to five hundred ducks.

But now Ding Nie was suddenly besieged by all the civil officials because of the two words he said urgently.

One after another, civil officials jumped out to accuse him of arrogance, accused him of being arbitrary, accused him of disturbing the court, and accused him of vainly trying to cover the sky on the court!

That's not even five hundred ducks!

Ding Nie only felt that countless mosquitoes were buzzing in his ears, and the noise hurt his brain.

In this situation, his sanity gradually lost, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Seeing that he was about to get angry.

And at this moment, Emperor Zhao Duan, who had been sitting firmly on the throne of Diaoyutai, spoke.

"Silence!"

Zhao Duan's voice was not loud, but after entering the east and west, the amplification of the worship was clearly heard by the hundred officials.

The court, which was like a bustling city just now, instantly quieted down.

Only Ding Nie, whose eyes were bloodshot, stared at the civil officials who had just stood up and accused him with murderous intent, as if he wanted to remember their appearances one by one.

"Ding Nie!"

Zhao Duan's angry voice suddenly sounded.

In an instant, Ding Nie, who had fallen into a state of rage, was brought back to his senses.

The red in his eyes gradually faded, his brain gradually cleared up, Ding Nie took a few big breaths, and then he arched his hand and said, "The minister is here." ”

Zhao Duan's voice contained suppressed anger, but there was a hint of restraint: "Tell me, where are those soldiers?"

Also, where are the horses? ”

Ding Nie was stunned, and then replied in a deep voice: "Maybe I know that I have made a big mistake, and I must have committed suicide at this moment."

As for the horse, the minister did not know. ”

"I really don't know?"

Zhao Duan asked again.

The corners of Ding Nie's mouth twitched, but he still said in a firm tone: "I don't know!" ”

"I really don't know?"

Zhao Duan asked again.

Ding Nie raised his head and looked at Emperor Zhao Duan of the Song Dynasty, took a deep breath and replied loudly: "I really don't know!" ”

Zhao Duan nodded and looked to the side.

Cao Shuang, who had just disappeared suddenly, suddenly appeared, sweating profusely at the moment, and seemed to be running all the way.

There was a fold in his hand, and when he saw Zhao Duan's view, he respectfully handed the fold over.

Emperor Song took it, opened it expressionlessly and looked at it twice, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled slightly.

Looking at Zhao Duan's raised smile, a bad premonition rose in Ding Nie's heart.

And Zhao Duanzai, after carefully reading the fold in his hand, handed it to Cao Shuang again and instructed:

"Let's take a look at our Captain Ding."

"Yes!"

Cao Shuang responded respectfully, and then walked down the imperial steps with small steps, came to Ding Nie's side, and handed over the fold in his hand.

"Captain Ding, please!"

Looking at the fold handed over, Ding Nie's right eyelid jumped wildly.

Swallowing his saliva, he stretched out his hand with difficulty to take the fold and slowly opened it.

An excerpt is an excerpt from a report.

The payment is the Imperial City Division.

And the content on the excerpt is also very simple, that is, the Imperial City Division found the soldiers who were beating people outside the palace gate on the Taiwei Mansion, and when they found them, they were being tied up by the housekeeper of the Taiwei Mansion and were about to be thrown into the well.

In addition, the Jade Lion of the Night that was being transferred was also found in the stable of the Taiwei Mansion.

Because this is the only one in the entire capital, it can be recognized at once.

Groov!

Ding Nie's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Zhao Duan, who was sitting on the throne, said unintentionally at this time:

"In this palace, I don't know why I can't hide secrets, there are always some people who don't know whether they are alive or dead like to make up gossip about things in the palace.

Looks like I'm going to clean the palace regularly, so that nothing dirty can get in. ”

The ministers below were silent, looked at Zhao Duan in front of them, and then turned their heads to look at Captain Ding, whose face turned pale after seeing the fold, as if he understood something, and no one dared to jump out and say anything at this time.

In the silence, Ding Nie suddenly spoke, and for some reason, his voice became very difficult, as if something was stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to make a sound.

"Your Majesty, not long ago, a group of veterans from Hedong County and Guanzhong County wrote to resign, and the ministers were afraid that they would not be able to find a replacement for them for a while, so they kept pressing.

But now that they think about it, they have fought for the Great Song Dynasty for most of their lives, and it is time to return to their hometowns to recuperate, hoping that the imperial court can find suitable people as soon as possible to take over the defense area left by these veterans, so as not to let the Huns have a chance. ”

"Oh, is it? How many veterans are there? ”

Zhao Duan asked with a smile.

Ding Nie gritted his teeth, and then said, "About sixteen people." ”

Zhao Duan shook his head: "Captain Ding is mistaken. ”

Ding Nie's teeth were almost crushed, and in the end he could only say again: "It's the minister's mistake." The number of people is about 30. ”

"That's a lot!"

Zhao Duan let out a speech similar to emotion, and then nodded and said, "The old generals have worked hard all their lives for the security of the frontier of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is time for them to retire for the rest of their lives."

Don't worry about the defense area, my Great Song Dynasty general is like a cloud, and he will definitely not let the old generals' life's work be broken by the Huns.

Captain Ding, the imperial court must give enough care to the old generals' lives of retirement, and the old generals must not be worried about food and clothing in their later years. ”

Ding Nie darkened his face, nodded, and bowed down.

"Yes! Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will arrange it. ”

"That's fine."

Zhao Duan nodded, and then said to Baiguan:

"Presumably, this matter was done by those military men, and it has nothing to do with the captain, so he will punish the captain Ding for half a year to punish him for the crime of laxity.

As for the Jade Lion of King Yun, the Imperial City Division came to report just now, and he inadvertently found it outside the city, and it was being sent to the palace at the moment. ”

Everyone is not a fool, everyone can see the action between Emperor Song and Taiwei Ding just now, and they naturally know that Taiwei Ding used part of the military power in his hands to exonerate himself, so everyone naturally will not be bored, so they didn't say anything.

And Zhao Jun naturally saw it, his face was still calm, as if he accepted this fact, but his secretly clenched hands showed that his heart was obviously not so calm.

This was the end of the pilgrimage meeting, which had been gathered for the sake of the drums.

But Zhao Jun did not leave with the others, and stood quietly in place.

Sure enough, after a while, Cao Shuang came.

"Lord Yun, the emperor is waiting for you in Funing Palace, can you go with the slaves?"

After speaking, Cao Shuang led the way to Funing Palace first.

Zhao Jun nodded expressionlessly and followed......

Soon, after walking through the palace wall and walking through several palace roads, Zhao Jun once again came to the Funing Palace, where he had been during the day.

At this time, the Funing Palace was brightly lit, and Zhao Duan was already waiting for him inside.

Led by Cao Shuang, even the report was exempted, and the two went straight all the way and soon entered the Funing Palace.

When he came to the palace, Zhao Jun saw at a glance the cheap Lao Tzu Zhao Duan who was sitting on the main seat drinking tea.

He looked in a good mood, and he actually had a smile on his face, and he couldn't hide it.

Zhao Jun knew why he was laughing, and he knew it himself.

Seeing that Zhao Jun was coming, Zhao Duan stretched out his hand and pointed to the position on the side and said:

"Here, find a place to sit by yourself, don't you just think I am my father? Then there is no need to be inhibited. ”

However, Zhao Jun was not as casual as during the day, he still stood in place, looked at Zhao Duan and said:

"But now, it is not the father of the son who appears in front of the minister, but only His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Duan's hand, which was about to serve tea, suddenly froze in place.
