Chu Daolong didn't make a sound.

Because Mao Xuan has proved this with his life.

Pan Hui couldn't help but get up.

Is this really Mao Xuan's doing?

Not only resentful of Dou's dominance, but also harmed by his own interests, and unwilling to reveal his true colors, it is somewhat like Mao Xuan's handiwork......

But Pan Hui knew that it couldn't be him.

Because all the notes must go through the Shangshutai before they can be presented to the Son of Heaven, and he is the Shangshu Order, that is to say, theoretically, all the notes will be seen before the Son of Heaven's Imperial Tour, and even if this note is really handed over, most of them will be stopped by him because of the anonymity and the fact that the content involves the Dou clan.

How could Mao Xuan not ventilate with him first, and just play such a trick?

Theoretically, yes.

But something went wrong.

In Shangshutai, a Lang official who was inserted by the Dou family and had the qualifications to review the music was found when Shang Shuling was pre-inspecting the music book, detained it, and handed it over to the Dou family.

Pan Yan sighed almost inaudibly.

It's a very clever design.

Before the bloody case, he had no idea that there had ever been such an anonymous letter against the Dou family.

Dou Jing, General Dou, when he started this violent massacre, did not know that the Taoist Shangshu Ling Pan Hui knew nothing about this report.

And so the drama unfolded.

Pan Hui waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to take Chu Daolong down, while he paced in the cold moonlight, pondering alone, who had set up this situation?

He raised his eyes to look at Weiyang Palace, and after a few moments, he had an answer.

Emperor.

It will only be the Son of Heaven.

Pan Hui couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Huainanzi says that the sage respects the small and cautious, and loses no time at every turn. Sure enough, that's the case. ”

Now what should he do?

What can be done?

went to Dou Jing and said that everything was a misunderstanding, and that the Son of Heaven designed you and me to turn against each other and die of Mao?

Dou Jing won't believe it.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

People will subconsciously believe in the person who brings the greatest benefit to themselves.

What did the Son of Heaven give to Dou Jing?

If it is not the Mu family, the five sons of the Dou family will be crowned marquis, give 100 million money, and allow Dou Jing to use the honor guard of the Son of Heaven......

This is already the ultimate of human ministers, and there is no reward.

Even if there is another Son of Heaven, all that can be given to Dou Jing without taking the initiative to Zen is this.

And what can he Pan Hui give Dou Jing?

Tell him that the Son of Heaven is not as weak as he seems, but is actually eyeing the Dou clan and quickly deposing him?

With his heels, Pan Hui could think of Dou Jing's thoughts.

- Will it be abolished today, will you Pan Hui come to make up for the treatment that I Dou Jing lost?!

——Your henchmen of Pan Hui have just anonymously accused me of the Dou family in front of the Son of Heaven, and now they are using tricks to make me cut off my arm and depose the Son of Heaven who supported me?

- Are you exposing the true face of the Son of Heaven, or do you want to suppress the Dou family with the matter of abolishing the emperor, so that the world will attack me?!

And Pan Hui, out of his own interests, could not make peace with Dou Jing.

Even if the letter was not from Mao Sui, even if Mao Sui's death was designed by the Son of Heaven, none of this can erase the facts, that is, the murderer who openly killed Mao Sui was a guest of the Dou family!

And he, the party leader of the Pan faction and Mao Sui's cousin, how could he make peace with Dou Jing after the Dou family's disciples killed Mao Sui?!

"There's only one way left for me......"

Pan Hui quickly made up his mind, but when he looked at the brightly lit Weiyang Palace, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion and sigh.

On the day when the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he felt more or less contempt in his heart, and when the new emperor vigorously honored Dou Jing, that contempt turned to contempt.

Doing things with the land is like fighting a fire with a salary, and the fire is not extinguished.

Dou Jing with power, isn't that the case?

But looking at it now, I find that the seemingly foolish Son of Heaven in Weiyang Palace has a deeper meaning after this trip......

……

Pan Hui entered the apse of Weiyang Palace under the leadership of the middle-aged servant, and saw the Son of Heaven kneeling on the seat, meditating on the calligraphy.

He no longer dared to have the contempt he had before, so he knelt down with a thud and grabbed the ground with his head: "The minister is guilty, the minister will die, please be magnanimous and forgive your majesty!" ”

"Shang Shuling, don't be too restrained!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled kindly and said softly: "Am I the kind of monarch who casually shouts and kills at the courtiers?" ”

The emperors in the space invariably let out a "puff~".

Zhu Yuanzhang turned a deaf ear and asked Pan Hui again: "Shang Shuling came over at this time, what do you want to tell me?" ”

The Son of Heaven was so kind and pleasant, Pan Hui trembled in his heart, and did not dare to show relief at all, only continued to maintain the posture of kowtowing, and said humbly: "The minister is guilty, before he was in the main hall, the minister did not tell the truth. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled: "Oh? "Yes.

Pan Hui then said: "Chu Daolong, the Shangshu who secretly stole the courtier's music and revealed it did not commit suicide, he is still alive, and even ......."

He hesitated: "He even confided in some appalling facts." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "What is the matter?" ”

Pan Hui took out a confession from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands: "This person personally confessed that he was instructed by General Dou to steal the music, and any accusation against General Dou could not be handed to His Majesty. ”

Speaking of this, a look of guilt and anxiety appeared in his eyes: "Chen never imagined that General Dou would be so bold and reckless, and would actually bribe Lang Guan to block the Son of Heaven's audio-visual and arrogant to such an extent, which is really shocking!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed, and he said incredulously: "General Dou...... How so?! ”

He said in disbelief: "This, is it really General Dou who did it?" ”

Pan Hui's voice affirmed: "It's true! ”

"I always thought that the general was the Duke of Zhou of this dynasty......"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was gloomy, and he could hardly hide his sadness: "I don't want him to do such a rebellious thing." ”

Pan Hui cautiously looked at the face of the Son of Heaven and said tentatively: "In this case, can Your Majesty make it clear and canonical?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed, and his expression hesitated: "General, he has a great deal of support for me, how can he make him sit down so much because of an accusation by an official Lang?" ”

Pan Hui: "......"

Pan Hui: "Then, does Your Majesty need ministers to secretly supervise the Dou clan?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Well, why don't you need it." ”

Pan Hui: "Can you ask Your Majesty to give your ministers a secret decree to facilitate the minister's investigation of this matter?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Huh? It's not good, isn't it......"

If it fails, or if it leaks out, how can I throw the blame out?

Pan Hui: "......"

Pan Hui: "............"

Your Majesty, it's hard for a minister like this!

You don't even say that you want to deal with the Dou clan, and you don't give your ministers the right to act cheaply, and you even talk vaguely about supervision—how can you do your best for your ministers?

He was so depressed that he didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to swallow the bitter fruit, knock out his teeth and swallow blood.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but say: "It's so miserable." ”

"Oh," Li Shimin said, "Lao Zhu, you look like a scumbag now!" ”

Li Yuanda: "Brother, be confident, get rid of the 'good like'!" ”

Liu Che grinned: "Scumbags are like this - don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't be responsible!" ”

Regarding the evaluation of the old guys, Zhu Yuanzhang just laughed.

In fact, how many emperors who can leave their names in history are not thick-faced and black-hearted?

Of course, he won't leave Dou Jing behind, but if he wants to dispose of it, he has to be strategic.

What is Dou Jing's greatest reliance on power?

It is the position of the lieutenant in his control, the military power in his hands, he may be defeated in public opinion, but he has the power of an iron fist that flips the table!

It really annoyed him, he has the ability to lead the army to force the palace!

Although the Mu family is not finished, in this way, it must be followed by the common king of Qin, but even if the army of King Qin arrests Dou Jing and cuts it with a thousand knives, it will not be able to resurrect the slain son of heaven.

In this case, what should Zhu Yuanzhang do?

It's actually quite simple.

Reward.

Generous rewards.

Until there is no reward!

The more he rewarded, the greater the pressure of public opinion on the Dou family, and the possibility of Dou Jing usurping the country in a short period of time was reduced to a minimum.

He rewarded so much that it was impossible for the successors to succeed him to be more than this, so he completely kidnapped Dou Jing to his own ship - if you abolish me and set up someone else, others will not be able to give you more, and you will be scolded by the people of the world for abolishing the Son of Heaven, and even attacked by a crowd, why bother?!

In the same way, if someone else harms me under the nose of your General Dou, then where do you go to find a heavenly son who rewards you endlessly like me?

General, you have to protect me!

When the Son of Heaven was stingy with rewards, General Dou was a powerful minister above the court.
