The Yinghua Hall was in a mess.

Lingke stretched out his hand and pointed at Jia Yan and said that he was the villain, Jia Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic and said that he didn't.

Emperor Chu on the dragon chair watched this farce quietly.

At this moment, Emperor Chu also understood.

Lingke made this trouble in the hall today, the purpose was not to redress Xiao Qiang's grievances and hold grievances, but to get rid of Jia Yan beside him and cut off his right-hand man!

Lingke is simple-minded, whose idea is this?

Emperor Chu looked around at the people in the hall, and if he wanted to kill Jia Yan, he must have a deep hatred with him.

King Qi? Fang Xiu? Still is......

Emperor Chu saw a figure in the Daji delegation slowly walk out, and Emperor Chu's eyes fell on his face, and he didn't know him.

Chen Chao walked up to the ministers and spoke: "Foreign Minister Zhao Cheng, see Your Majesty!" Your Majesty is well! The foreign minister thought that since ancient times, there were not a few things about the eunuch dictatorship and disorderly government, Jia Yan, the chief eunuch, has served by His Majesty's side since he was a child and was deeply trusted by His Majesty, His Majesty treated people generously, and never doubted Jia Yan, but he knew that people knew his face but did not know his heart, and he knew that Jia Yan did not confuse the Lord? ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Chao said: "Everyone has so many pairs of eyes that are bright, and the people who serve around His Majesty have changed wave after wave, but Jia Yan has not changed, if Jia Yan has a heart of disobedience, I am afraid it will be ......."

Chen Chao's words alerted the civil and military officials of the Chu State.

That's right, the people who served the Chu Emperor have changed wave after wave, but Jia Yan has been standing by the side of the Chu Emperor for so many years like an evergreen tree.

From the side, Jia Yan does have some ability, otherwise why would Emperor Chu trust him so much.

But it is precisely because of this ability that he has the opportunity and possibility to confuse the master.

The most intolerable thing for the courtiers is for the eunuchs to interfere in politics and confuse the lord!

So, their eyes were full of murderous intent when they looked at Jia Yan!

Regardless of whether Jia Yan is involved in politics or not, he will definitely die.

Even if there is no now, who can say for sure in the future.

For the sake of the great plan of the Chu State, it is necessary to take precautions and kill Jia Yan!

Jia Yan broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, feeling a monstrous killing intent shooting from all directions, he took a few breaths, pointed at Chen Chao and said, "You are talking nonsense!" You're slandering! Your Majesty clearly investigates ......"

Chen Chao didn't give Jia Yan a chance to catch his breath, and continued: "Nonsense? What evidence do you have? ”

Jia Yan had an idea, and asked rhetorically: "Then you say that I confuse the Lord, so that Queen Xiao was deposed, what evidence is there?" ”

Chen Chao smiled slightly, and bowed his hand to Emperor Chu: "This is the first time that the foreign minister has been to Jinling, but I have long heard that the emperor of your country is wise and martial, why would such a wise and martial emperor suddenly be abolished?" If it weren't for you, why would your emperor be like this? ”

"Yes!" Chu Zhong, the king of Qi, took a step forward, pointed to Jia Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Brother Huang, it must have been this thief who instigated the thief to let Brother Huang ......."

Others chimed in.

The situation is one-sided.

People who don't know really think that Empress Xiao was deposed, and it was instigated by Jia Yan.

Jia Yan died unjustly in his heart.

How did things get to this point?

Jia Yan pinned his hopes on Emperor Chu on the dragon chair.

Whether there was instigation or not, Emperor Chu knew best in his heart.

Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair, squinting slightly, as if he had figured out something.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid have been wronged, please ask Your Majesty to investigate ......"

"You're not wronged!" Emperor Chu said, "Come on, drag Jia Yan down to the prison, and wait for the retrial......"

Jia Yan was stunned!

How so?

However, he quickly understood what Emperor Chu meant.

This incident did not end well.

Emperor Chu only temporarily pushed him out as a scapegoat, and his imprisonment was only temporary......

So, Jia Yan kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

How could Chen Chao do what he wanted, he had already seen that this old eunuch was unhappy, and gave Chu Zhong, the king of Qi, a look.

When King Qi received it, he immediately stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, don't spare Jia Yan, now that the evidence is conclusive, Jia Yan provoked and instigated the Lord, according to the rules, he should be killed with a rod!"

"Come on, drag it down, fight!"

The Yulin army did not dare to move, because their master was the Emperor of Chu.

Emperor Chu's order was to put Jia Yan in the heavenly prison, not to be killed with a rod!

Emperor Chu was just about to open his mouth to reprimand Chu Zhong, but unexpectedly, Yu Guang saw the old prime minister Xu Zhenghou stand up.

The weight of this old prime minister is not ordinary, and it is the existence of Emperor Chu who has to be in awe.

Xu Zhenghou said slowly: "Jia Yan, kill with a cane!" ”

Jia Yan's eyes suddenly widened, Emperor Chu was in a dilemma, and he wanted to speak, but was blocked by the old prime minister, "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to shield a eunuch?" ”

Emperor Chu stopped talking.

Xu Zhenghou waved his hand, Yu Lin didn't dare to slack off, and dragged Jia Yan out of the hall, and then the thumping sound of the stick came in, and Jia Yan was silent after a while.

Yu Lin entered the palace to report that the person had been killed.

Emperor Chu on the dragon chair took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

……

…

The banquet continued, and no one spoke again.

Emperor Chu just drank a glass of wine, and when he was about to get drunk, he spoke: "You all go out, and the foreign minister Zhao Cheng stays!" ”

As soon as this statement came out.

The ministers were surprised.

Seeing that no one got up, Emperor Chu suddenly picked up the cup on the table and slammed it on the ground, "I said!" All out! Get out! ”

The emperor was furious, and the ministers began to move, but they were all a little confused, but they still obediently left the table and walked out of the Yinghua Hall in line.

Fang Xiu glanced at Chen Chao beside him and asked him what to do.

Chen Chao shook his head slightly, took the brocade box in Fang Xiu's hand, and asked them all to go out.

He knows.

After the farce is over.

The war between him and Emperor Chu had just begun.

……

With a bang, the tall door of the Yinghua Hall closed, and only Emperor Chu sitting on the high dragon chair and Chen Chao sitting in the guest seat were left in the hall.

and the heavily armed Yulin Army hidden in the temple.

Emperor Chu looked at the unfamiliar face quietly, and he didn't know how long he looked at it before he slowly said, "Jia Yan is dead, are you satisfied?" ”

Chen Chao smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass on the table, put it to his lips and drank it all, and said in a slightly sandy voice: "Jia Yan's death was not in my plan at first, but I suddenly changed my mind a few days ago, and I found that I was so merciful in the past few years and when I first came to this world, I was so merciful that I rarely killed people, and I rarely had such hostility towards a person!" ”

"Jia Yan is dead, dead under your nose, Jia Yan is your person, you can obviously save him, but you can't do anything...... Because you have to take care of the courtiers, is this feeling of powerlessness good? ”

Emperor Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that you killed Jia Yan, you just want me to taste the taste of powerlessness, yes, this is the Prime Minister of Daji I know." ”

"When did you recognize me?"

"Just now."

"Just now?"

"You look aggressive, exactly like him!"

Emperor Chu didn't recognize the Chen Dynasty at first, but "Zhao Cheng" looked aggressive in the palace, which was exactly the same as the Chen Dynasty a few years ago.

So, Emperor Chu recognized him!

Zhao Cheng is Chen Chao!
