The capital, the imperial palace, outside the Hanyuan Palace, under the marble paved dragon steps, has gathered many officials who came to catch up with the early dynasty.

With a warm breeze and a sunny day, it is undoubtedly an excellent and excellent atmosphere. However, the mood of these officials did not improve by this soft and comfortable climate, and almost every Rao's face was covered with a layer of gloom.

"Master Chen, did you listen to that?"

"What Lord Liang is referring to, could it be the incident of His Royal Highness King Zhang?"

"yes, yes......"

"Alas, now that this matter has caused a storm in the city, and everyone knows about it, how can we, the officials who control the place, not know?"

"At present, the great enemy has left his post without permission, and he is afraid without fighting...... His Royal Highness King Zhang is so faithful to his duties, how could he make a mistake like a bestowal?"

"yes, it's all so strange and too coincidental......"

"What Lord Chen said, could it be that there is a hidden meaning in this?"

"Lord Huang!"

"Lord Huang, you're here too!"

"Lord Huang, when you see the piece in your hand, you don't want to ......"

"Yes, I, Huang, also feel that there must be a hidden secret, and now His Majesty has issued an order to arrest His Royal Highness King Zhang back to Beijing, and I, as a court official, must not think about my court, no matter what, I have to play to protect His Royal Highness King Zhang!"

"I see......"

"I, Chen, also have this intention! It's just that I was worried about being a crane of chickens before, but now I see that you adults have a heart to serve the country, and I am deeply moved, so I don't have to hide in my sleeve robe in this concerto!"

"I heard what Master Chen said, is there a hidden meaning in the ins and outs of this incident?"

"Alas, they are all rumors that I can't hear the truth or falsehood, and we are important members of the imperial court, so I don't know if I should say this or not......"

"I'd like to hear about it!"

"I want to hear about it!"

"This ...... Well, earlier, didn't His Royal Highness King Zhang's princess relapse of her old illness and die? Someone Chen listened, it was the people of the Thousand Faces Gate who secretly used treacherous tricks and disguised themselves as dead people, and His Royal Highness King Zhang was a person who attached great importance to love and righteousness, so he didn't distinguish between the true and the false, and fell for the trick......"

"Alas, I see......"

"These hateful charlatans!"

......

Presumably, the court officials of His Royal Highness who were excited and indignant, so that they gathered together to talk loudly, the old lady Yan Ke and the crown prince Li Yi in the distance, seemed much more low-key, and the master and apprentice were one after the other, slowly taking advantage of the cold under the shadow of the palace wall, waiting for His Majesty's summons.

"Taishi, these gossip students have also heard of it, although it is a little bizarre and strange in their ears, but it can indeed explain why King Tongzhang made such a mistake...... Li Yi shook his head and said: "Although the sixth brother is a bit reckless and rigid, it is indeed one of the few loyal and brave things that can be trusted, no matter what, I will not believe it, the sixth brother he deliberately avoided and did not fight!"

"Yes or no, believe it or not, you don't count, the old man doesn't count," the old lady Yan Ke said quietly, "Only His Majesty's is counted." Now, His Majesty has sent someone to Nanning to arrest His Royal Highness King Zhang back to Beijing, and the established things cannot be changed. ”

"When the prince said this, did he want to watch King Zhang be punished?" Hearing this, Prince Li Yi immediately frowned unhappily.

As for why Li Yi was worried about this "sixth brother" King Zhang, who was not very close to everyone, he was mainly worried about the defense line in Nanning.

After the battle many years ago, Hu Ji, the king of Zhang, seemed to have become a protective god in the hearts of his subordinates, and he was not at ease with who else would guard.

In addition, since his younger brother has no hope of seizing the throne and poses no threat to his throne, why not do it yourself, so why not do the best of both worlds?

Besides, now there is an old lady who is assisted by Yan Ke, and he doesn't even have to move his brain for this kind of thing, but most of the final credit falls on his head.

"His Royal Highness King Zhang is a rare person in the world who is loyal to the king and serves the country, and the old man naturally can't sit idly by and ......ignore this calamity," the old lady said slowly.

"Then I see that the Taishi, you have neither a recital nor a recital," the crown prince Li Yi said with some surprise, "Do you want to fight directly with your father on the top of the main hall?"

Hearing this, the old lady Yan Ke glanced at the former lightly, and said: "Your Majesty is a person with a strong personality, and now he is angry, even if he is an old man, he doesn't want to touch his head at this time......

"Then you don't play the reference book, and you don't speak directly, how can you stay?" Prince Li Yi couldn't help frowning and asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, Your Highness, you only saw the ups and downs of this civil and military official, all of them were anxious, but you forgot who Your Majesty is, and what is the most taboo ......" The old lady Yan Ke said slowly, "But it is a participatory, the more admonitions, the more you can't save them." His Highness only saw them one after another, but he didn't know that this would not only not alleviate King Zhang's crimes, but would cause him to fall into a place of no return!"

"This ...... Is this like this?" Prince Li Yi's eyes widened in confusion, "I...... I still don't understand, and I ask the master to teach me......"

Old Master Yan Ke glanced at him indifferently, sighed in his heart, shook his head and said, "Let's see how the situation in the hall is later......"

......

The son is in the court, and the officials are solemn.

But today's old emperor's expression is much gloomy compared to the past.

"See Your Majesty!"

The civil and military officials bowed down and shouted in unison, but almost every Rao glanced at the pile of "things" in front of the dragon chair uncontrollably.

The old emperor was neither "exempt from courtesy" nor shouting "flat", he didn't say a word, walked quickly to the dragon chair and sat down, looking at the mountains of music books in front of him, his face became more and more difficult to see:

"Heh, it's really rare, let me guess, how many of these books have been played, and they have nothing to do with the matter of King Zhang?"

"This ......"

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all glanced at each other, and they were even more uneasy in their hearts at the moment.

The old emperor snorted coldly, stopped speaking at the moment, picked up a book and flipped through it, and within a moment, the corners of his mouth were coldly hooked:

"Oh, forgive King Zhang......"

With a crisp sound, he discarded the book to the ground, but he picked up another one without hesitation:

"Hehe, it's ...... forgive King Zhang again"

"King Zhang......

"King Zhang......

"It's still King Zhang......"

"It's all a book, forgive King Zhang!"

The accumulated emotions finally broke out, and the old emperor shouted angrily, stood up suddenly, and overthrew the mountain to the ground, and roared angrily:

"Are you pushing me!huh?"

"Do you think what I'm doing is inappropriate, and you want to teach me how to discipline my son!"

"Your Majesty is angry......"

When the ministers and princes heard this, they couldn't hold it anymore, and they knelt on the ground one after another, and said one after another.

"Rest your anger, stop your anger, I only know that I can stop my anger...... the old emperor was already red because of his anger, "Ordinary things are all right, but now, King Zhang, he has committed such a big mistake, and the great enemy is now, but he left his post without permission, so that Nanning almost fell - this is no longer an ordinary mistake, this has endangered my country and my country!"

"And now, I just sent someone to escort King Zhang back to Beijing, and before I could punish him, you were already crying and grabbing the ground, and the crowd was excited! Is there an emperor like me in your eyes!?"

The old emperor's eyes were already wide with anger, his cheeks were bruised, and he was foaming at the mouth and scolding angrily while tapping the table hard.

At this time, a minister suddenly crawled out of the crowd, straightened his waist and clasped his hands, and said: "Now that the great enemy is present, the turmoil in the Western Regions has not yet subsided, and now is the time to employ people! Now that King Zhang has returned, he should first postpone the handling and stabilize the military situation first! If the overall situation is not stable at this time, he will escort His Royal Highness King Zhang back to Beijing - Your Majesty, the ministers and others are worried about another disaster!"

"Your Majesty, what Lord Zheng said is very true, but the old minister also has a word, I implore Your Majesty to listen carefully......" Another red-robed old minister also trembled and crawled out, and arched his hand at the old emperor who was glaring angrily on the dragon chair: "His Royal Highness King Zhang has not left half a point in the past fifteen years since he fought and guarded Nanning, which is obvious to everyone, but now His Royal Highness King Zhang has just left Nanning on the front foot, and the army of the Western Regions has come on the back foot, Your Majesty, don't you think this matter is quite strange?"

"Yes, Your Majesty...... Please think twice......"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly......"

"His Royal Highness King Zhang must have a reason for the incident, please give him back a clean ......"

"Your Majesty, there are rumors among the people that this matter is mostly related to the Jianghu sect, and they must have made a trick out of it......"

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty......"

For a time, the civil and military officials were excited, and they kowtowed bitterly, and there was a noisy and chaotic sound in the Taihe Palace.

The third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince also stood up one after another, crying and persuading their sixth brother!

When the crown prince Li Yi saw such a scene, he immediately couldn't help but be angry and awe-inspiring, and immediately shook the hem of his clothes, and was about to stand up and admonish his father with everyone.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt tight, and he couldn't move half a minute. Li Yi turned his head to look, and saw that it was the old lady Yan Ke, who was still silent behind him, who had already stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Why is that?

The crown prince Li Yi looked at the old lady Yan Ke who was hanging his head, and suddenly felt puzzled, but he was docile by nature and did not want to be disobedient, so he had to give up obediently and quietly knelt back.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the crying princes and officials suddenly stopped calling and were stunned on the spot-

I saw that the old emperor above the hall had already overturned the table, and shouted hysterically at everyone:

"It's all the other way around!"

"Are you going to force the palace? Are you going to rebel!"

Since ancient times, in the name of rebellion and rebellion, but the great crime of punishing the nine clans, as soon as the old emperor said this, those civil and military officials suddenly quieted down and did not dare to speak up anymore.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The old emperor in front of the dragon chair was also out of breath because of his anger at this time, he glared at everyone with his eyes, and suddenly his expression changed, and he sneered:

"All of you, all of you, are forcing me! Except for Old Master Yan and my prince, none of you understand my mind!"

When the crown prince Li Yi heard this, he immediately felt happy in his heart, and immediately lowered his body lower. He was already sure in his heart, and if he didn't say anything to the old lady, he would never dare to act rashly again.

"Every one of you, everyone, Nanning can't do without King Zhang, the Western Regions can't do without King Zhang, I can't do without King Zhang!, isn't it?" The sneer on the old emperor's face was even greater, "I have a huge country and a huge dynasty, is it really only him Li Ji who can fight? Is it true that there is no second person to come? Wrong! You are all wrong! All of them are very wrong——"

The old emperor waved his hand suddenly, and a eunuch beside him immediately respectfully presented a golden book, and the old emperor took it in his hand and said in a rough voice to the people with a blank face:

"This is an eight-hundred-mile urgency, presenting the latest battle report on the border of Nanning in the capital! What is the situation of the battle, do I need to read it to you word by word!?"

"Could it be that you didn't hold it again?" the fourth prince suddenly said, "Then isn't the current Western Regions Iron Cavalry already in the customs?"

"Is that really the case?"

"How this should be!"

"If His Royal Highness King Zhang is here......"

"Alas......"

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but whisper and began to discuss.

At this time, the old emperor suddenly closed his mouth, walked down the steps without saying a word, and walked in front of the four princes in silence.

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Father, ...... you?"

Syllable!

A powerful and loud slap slapped the four princes in the face!

The fourth prince immediately screamed, slammed on the ground, and covered his cheeks in pain!

"Your Majesty, what are you ......" Seeing this, the ministers were also shocked in their hearts.

"Do you all think that I won't be able to win without King Zhang? Big mistake!" The old emperor shook his tune, and then threw it on the belly of the fourth prince: "Nanning has been defended!

"This ...... How is that possible!"

When the ministers heard this, they were in an uproar.

As for the old lady Ke, she proudly brushed up her beard.

"Actually, I didn't expect it," said the old emperor...... faintly, "...... The talent recommended by the concubine really won the battle!"

Belch!

The old lady Yan Ke's palm trembled violently, and she immediately tore off a few whiskers.
