Yan Min saw that this former subordinate suddenly pointed at him, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted:

"You are a traitorous minister, your crimes have been exposed under His Majesty's holy judgment, not only do you not repent, but you dare to bite and slander the old man, how can this be true!

Whoever comes, don't escort this fang down, so as not to disturb Your Majesty's holy hearing here. ”

Several errand officers did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly stepped forward to arrest them.

It's just that I don't know where Zhao Qian's strength came from, so he used his body to knock them away directly, and immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao, kowtowed to the ground and said:

"Your Majesty, the criminal minister listened to Bai San'er's words, and went back to Beijing to tell Yan Shangshu, not wanting Yan Shangshu not to write to His Majesty, but to ask the criminal to deliberately conceal it, so as to frame Wu Anbo.

All this was his command, and if it weren't for that, the sinner would never have dared to do such a rebellious thing. ”

Zhu Houzhao's face was already iron-blue, and he pointed at Yan Min and said:

"Okay, why did you suddenly write to let Wu Anbo take office, you actually hid such a dirty mind.

Come on, take down this old horseman together. ”

Seeing this, the messenger suddenly came to Yan Min's knee, and Yan Shangshu, who was majestic in the past, suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Old minister, old minister is wronged."

"Humph!"

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, and continued: "You still dare to shout injustice, together with this Bai San'er, you will be escorted to me, and you will be punished with fifty boards with a cane first, and you will be beaten hard." ”

"Your Majesty spares your life, spares your life."

Yan Min and Zhao Qian were all like ashes.

Fifty boards down, just their body bones, how can they hold up.

After the three of them were dragged out, Zhu Houzhao immediately looked at Meng Xiang again.

Meng Xiang knew that he couldn't hide from the trick, so he knelt down with a "poof" and said in fear:

"The minister is guilty!"

Zhu Houzhao saw that he was so obedient, and the anger that had not yet vented his anger suddenly blocked his chest, and he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Liu Jian hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, Meng Shangshu was just deceived for a while, and I ask Your Majesty to read for the sake of his loyal duty in the past, and dismiss his official position."

Meng Xiang's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

He knew it was already the best ending.

"That's right."

Zhu Houzhao flicked his sleeves and set his eyes on Zhang Mingyu.

Staring at this dignified-looking scholar, he said hatefully:

"For your own selfish desires, you wantonly framed the court officials, if it weren't for my presence today, I'm afraid that you would have been fooled, how could I be spared."

"Your Majesty Mingjian!"

Zhang Sheng saw that Zhu Houzhao seemed to have signs of severely punishing his son, so he hurriedly ran over and knelt down and bowed:

"Your Majesty, the dog was deceived by a traitor, so he hurriedly checked the evidence and reported Wu Anbo, not for his own selfish desires, but for the sake of purging the court and sharing worries for the king.

It's just that he is young in the end, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, but it is definitely not intentional, please spare him this time. ”

Zhu Houzhao heard this quibble, and his heart was furious.

What he hated the most was Zhang Mingyu's report to Jiang Ning, but that he opened his mouth and insulted Meng Wanning's innocence!

"Humph! Zhang Shangshu, I am about to cure your sins.

This time, not only did you join forces with the Ministry of Industry to participate in Wu Anbo, but you almost wronged a loyal minister.

also connived at parents and children to report and slander the courtiers, how can I tolerate you. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Sheng saw that his father and son seemed to be disposed of, and he was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty takes a break from the wrath of thunder!"

Liu Jian bowed down again and said:

"Your Majesty, Zhang Shangshu is all for the sake of the court, so he listens to the villain's words and does foolish things, so it is better to punish him with a small punishment and a big warning."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive Zhang Shangshu!"

Xie Qian and the others fell to the ground in unison.

Jiang Ning was surrounded by all the women in the middle, watching all this coldly.

Liu Jian said again: "The minister thinks that it is better to fine Zhang Shangshu for two years to set an example." ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said: "The penalty is too light, so let's go to Nanjing to serve as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Zhang Sheng sat on the ground in a dejected manner.

Going to Nanjing meant staying away from the center of power.

There are no major accidents, and I will die of old age in this life.

But he had to cry and say, "Old minister, thank you Your Majesty Longen." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded casually, didn't care about him anymore, looked at the waiter of the Criminal Department, and said, "Zhang Mingyu indiscriminately reported Wu Anbo, spread rumors and slander, how to convict?" ”

"Return to Your Majesty, should, exile the army."

"In that case, exile Guangxi."

Zhang Mingyu's face was like ashes, as if he had suffered a thunderbolt from the sky.

Suddenly, a thick resentment flashed on his face, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ning and Su Luoxian, as if he was brewing something.

Although it was only a fleeting, Jiang Ning still caught it.

He smiled coldly, and a touch of murderous intent appeared in his heart.

Zhang Sheng saw Zhu Houzhao punish the crime like this, and wept bitterly and said:

"Your Majesty, the dog was confused for a while, please spare him this time."

But no matter how he pleaded, Zhu Houzhao didn't care.

and even gradually became impatient.

Zhou Shang, the official of the celebrant supervisor on the side, looked at Jiang Ning, who was expressionless, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, Zhang Shangshu has worked all his life for the imperial court, and if his only son goes to the land of Guangxi miasma, he will be reprimanded.

The old slave thought that if he went to do hard labor for the first emperor's mausoleum, he would be able to wash away his sins. ”

"Then let's do it."

Zhu Houzhao replied casually.

Zhang Mingyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He only thought that he would be able to leave by staying in Jingshi and using a little means, but he suddenly saw the sinister smile on Zhou Shang's face, and when he thought of something, his face turned pale again.

After this prison disaster, Zhou Shangzi and Jiang Ning have a different relationship.

In order to convince Jiang Ning, Zhang Mingyu went to his subordinates, and it was strange that he could still do well.

"Alright, you guys should retreat."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and asked everyone to exit the lobby, leaving only Jiang Ning and Li Yun'er and a few daughters.

At this time, he no longer had the great power just now, but showed embarrassment and guilt, and said:

"Jiang Shiyu, it's all mine, I almost blamed you."

"Your Majesty is talking about something."

Jiang Ning immediately bowed, and said: "The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, not to mention that Your Majesty was deceived by the ministers and worried about the tomb of the first emperor, so he dealt with it like this."

Not only did the minister feel wronged, but he also praised His Majesty's filial piety. ”

Zhu Houzhao was greatly moved when he heard this, and took Jiang Ning's hand and didn't let go: "Jiang Shi understands me." ”

Jiang Ning looked at his expression and smiled slightly in his heart.

The two of them spoke for a while.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Li Yun'er's expression was serious, not as kind as before, and sighed in his heart.

He thought for a moment and said:

"If it weren't for Sister Yun'er's injustice, I would have almost lost Jiang Shiyu.

It is Yun'er's sister who has made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and she must be rewarded.

Someone came, passed on my will, and made Mrs. Wu Anbo a decree. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yun'er again and said, "In this way, Sister Yun'er, don't be angry with me anymore." ”

Li Yun'er saw that the dignified son of heaven actually apologized to herself, and also sealed the edict, and hurriedly thanked her.

Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"In addition to Sister Yun'er, I also want to be rewarded.

This time, because of my mistakes, I have suffered so much grievance, and I must make amends. ”

With that, he bowed his head and remained silent, as if thinking about how to seal the reward.

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Su Luoxian and Lu Qingming, clapped his hands and said:

"I heard all the words of Miss Su in the hall.

In this way, I will reward her and Miss Lu as concubines to you, and I will redeem her with my silver. ”

Without waiting for Jiang Ning to react, Su Luoxian and Lu Qingming glanced at each other in unison, only to feel joy descending from the sky, and hurriedly saluted Zhu Houzhao shyly:

"The people's daughter thanked Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand happily and said, "No thanks, no thanks." ”

Su Luoxian and the two girls immediately looked at Jiang Ning again, their eyes full of anticipation.

Jiang Ning noticed the gaze of the two, smiled, and immediately said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”

"Haha, that's the best.

You don't know, it's my wedding day in a while, so I'll do it on the same day. ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao's still somewhat green face showed an extremely serious look:

"I swear, you and I, the monarch and the minister, the green mountains and pines, will never lose each other!"
