What Wei Rui said was so bizarre that Xiao Yan almost forgot how to breathe, he looked at Wei Rui in front of him fixedly, and Wei Rui was also raising his head at this time, and the eyes of the two of them just met together.

At this time, there was a death-like silence in the palace, and after a long time, Wei Rui's eyes when he looked at the emperor had become extremely sad, and he said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, that Xiao Ziliang must have rescued a woman, these are just the minister's guesses, and there is no basis for it, but according to the minister's understanding, after Xiao Baorong's death, Xiao Ziliang has been closed until he dies at home------

"What does this have to do with Mrs. Fan?" Xiao Yan muttered, "Lian is asking this question. ”

Wei Rui gently dropped the chess pieces in his hand: " Your Majesty, it seems that you are also very interested in this Mrs. Fan, then we two monarchs and ministers, you might as well talk about this Mrs. Fan, since she married Fan Yuncheng, the husband and wife are very affectionate, and have two sons, the Fan family is naturally extremely happy, and Fan Yuncheng admires his wife's talent------ but after the tragedy of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi, this Mrs. Fan has human and physical evidence in her hands, but she knows very well that she is just a woman, a weak woman without any official position or any rights, if she wants to investigate the case for Lord Zhang, it will be even more difficult。 At this time, their Fan family suddenly faced a big disaster: they encountered a big case as soon as they entered Yongzhou, and they were dismissed from office and punished at worst, but Fan Yuncheng did not have any signs, so he received an order to enter Beijing. ”

"Huaiwen ------ Lian wishes to hear ------ details. Xiao Yan said slowly.

"Thinking about it, she is alone, supporting this game alone, how difficult it is, I am afraid that only she understands it------ first step she hides important witnesses, and never reveals it to the outside world, even if it is Fan Yuncheng, I am afraid that she will only know about this matter later, and then her layout can be said to be step by step, there is no sword and sword shadow, but it is dangerous and abnormal step by step------ after entering Beijing, the first thing their Fan family faced was not the crisis given by the emperor, but from the sixth prince, the sixth prince designed Fan Yuncheng, and let him be the scapegoat for his rebellion after entering Beijing, the original idea of the prince was not bad, but the mistake was that he chose Fan Yuncheng, that Fan Yuncheng was originally an extremely persistent person, he would never retreat when encountering difficulties, and he became more and more courageous in the face of setbacks------ Your Majesty, you must have been watching the performance of the prince with a cold eye at that time, so since He Zheng and Zheng Shuo are both your people, then the prince's every move is under your control, and that Mrs. Fan is not a fool, you are not in the game, she is not in the game, you are the same as her, you are quietly observing the development of things on the side, the emperor, what is wrong with what Wei Chen said?"

Xiao Yan nodded wordlessly, he knew that what Wei Rui said was not bad at all, and the only person in this world who could think of his thoughts exactly the same was Wei Rui in front of him.

"The emperor is already very clear about what happened after that, that Fan Yuncheng refused to marry in the palace, and then Fan Jun, the eldest son of the Fan family, was forced to enlist in the army, and the youngest son who stayed at home was still young, and he was not in the eyes of the prince, but this young child had been stared at to death, and Mrs. Fan had no choice but to send his child to the emperor's side------"

"Tricks?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.

"Doesn't the emperor know? What child's mother would force her child to memorize that boring scripture? And what mother's mother would be willing to let her young son accompany her to that temple? What mother can endure her child's daily tea and vegetarian meal, accompanied by the ancient Buddha's green lamp?"

Xiao Yan involuntarily gasped, what Wei Rui said was indeed true, there was really no mother in this world who could do such a ruthless thing, but that Mrs. Fan, when she saw that side in Tongtai Temple, she had never looked at her at all, but she was such an inconspicuous woman, who was secretly engaged in an invisible but cruel fight with herself.

"Your Majesty, the things behind this are even more thrilling------ her eldest son is far away on the border, life and death are uncertain, the younger son entered the Tongtai Temple to accompany the emperor to become a monk, it seems that everything has been calm, but the prince has learned that Lord Zhang Yuanzhi will write a handwritten secret letter when he is dying, handed over to someone who can be trusted, at that time the prince sent eyeliner into the Fan family, and did not find it after searching, and the human certificate in the hands of Mrs. Fan was almost exposed in front of the prince, when all kinds of crises came, it was this Mrs. Fan, who resolved these crises one by one ------ the emperor, in the eyes of Weichen, that lady has never really won the emperor you, what she does is to be passive in defense, to prevent those with bad intentions from harming her family. Your Majesty, you are the most important person in the world, which is unmatched by the world, but after I learned what Mrs. Fan did, I realized that she is the only person in the world who is better than the emperor, she values family affection more than the emperor, and her care and love for her relatives is far better than that of the emperor. ”

Xiao Yan knew that it would be a difficult thing for Mrs. Fan to dare to let her son become a monk in Tongtai Temple, not to mention anything else, if the two masters made a move, with this move alone, he would already be in a defeat, because in this plan, even he became a pawn in the hands of Mrs. Fan, and Mrs. Fan introduced herself into her trap step by step, if it weren't for her love for Fan Yu's child, if it weren't for her greed for Buddhism, she would definitely not let Mrs. Fan take advantage of the loophole, Xiao Yan didn't expect that Mrs. Fan would have such a subtle layout, so that he, the king of the country, could become a chess piece for her unconsciously, then her wisdom can only be far better than herself------

"The emperor must still remember the "Diamond Sutra" that Mrs. Fan brought over after the prince's rebellion was revealed?"

Xiao Yan looked up at the "Diamond Sutra" on the side case, he has been looking at it almost every day these days, Mrs. Fan's embroidery skills are excellent, every word in the scripture, she has spent a lot of energy on it, this scripture can be said to be a rare boutique in the world, such a delicate embroidery, of course he likes it very much.

"The prince's move can be said to be outrageous, despicable and shameless, if it is someone else, whether embroidered or not, the ending is a dead word, but this Mrs. Fan stubbornly took this dead word from the head of the Fan family------ Emperor, I don't know what you think about this, after Weichen heard about this, he admired this lady very much, and he could resolve a big thing into an excellent thing, without extraordinary intelligence, he would never do it. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yan secretly sighed in his heart, not only did the sixth brother lose, but he also lost again. It seems that what Wei Rui said is true, if he and this Mrs. Fan face to face, I am afraid that if I want to defeat her, it will definitely not be so easy.

"General He did something unconscionable back then, he was afraid that Mrs. Fan would tell his ugly things, and he would kill Mrs. Fan again and again, Your Majesty, I don't know what you think about this matter?" Wei Rui didn't see any worry on his face, he was just responsible for telling everything, "Your Majesty, General He's move is just to kill people and kill people." ”

Xiao Yan looked at the chess game in front of him in a daze, his sunspots were already scattered, Wei Rui ate the second son here, and Wei Rui took out the third son there, and they were afraid that they would not have to continue to play, and they would already know the difference.

Wei Rui looked at the chessboard, he knew very well that the person sitting in front of him was the monarch of the Great Liang, and he couldn't kill him all, if it was in normal times, he wouldn't eat a child, but today is different, he had already made up his mind before entering the palace, when he didn't talk about it, he would fight for his life, and he would say it all today, if he didn't come forward to say a few words for the loyal minister who died unjustly, I was afraid that he would have no chance in the future.

"General He's character, the Fan family knows best, according to Mrs. Fan's temperament, I am afraid that people like General He will continue to kill Zhongliang after being willful. Wei Rui didn't look at the emperor's extremely ugly face at this time, he just followed his own train of thought and continued.

"I heard that the person who copied the prince's house is General He! I think he is in a hurry to kill that Zhang Qifeng------

"Zhang Qifeng?" Xiao Yan had too many unexpected things today, he couldn't have imagined that the raid on the sixth brother's palace would lead to Zhang Qifeng, where did Wei Rui hear about these things?

"That Zhang Qifeng is the sixth prince's outer room Mrs. Hui, back then------ her father ordered Ling Xiao to marry her, she had no choice but to go with General He, I don't know what happened halfway, General He abandoned Zhang Qifeng, that Zhang Qifeng fell into the hands of the villain, and came to the side of the prince several times, and became one of his outer rooms------ poor Zhang Qifeng, until he died, he did not get a real name. ”

“------”

"That Zhang Qifeng since entering Beijing, because of her own misfortunes, her temperament has become unusually perverse, she hates all the people around her, especially after Fan Yuncheng's family entered Beijing, she regards the Fan family as fire and water, and must be the enemy of the Fan family------ think that although she is a poor woman, but the most hateful thing is not her poor background, but her ignorance, which makes her fall into the abyss------ Weichen When he thinks of these things, the depression in his heart is really difficult to resolve, that Zhang Yuanzhi is unwilling to follow the instructions of the six princes, and the door of Yongzhou is open to the enemy, just by this point, Lord Zhang Yuanzhi is the most loyal official of my Daliang. It's a pity that he couldn't show his loyalty to the emperor in person, and the whole family was killed, and Fan Yuncheng ran around for many years for the tragedy of Lord Zhang's family, striving to get justice for Lord Zhang------ thinking this is also the real reason why Lord Fan insisted on being the Zhengqing of Dali Temple. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan finally understood the real purpose of Wei Rui's coming today, Wei Rui's real purpose was to force himself to admit his mistake, because of Fan Yuncheng's death, the loyal minister in front of him blamed himself. Xiao Yan thought of this, and suddenly had an arrogant aura in his heart, he is the king of a country, he is the emperor who is said to be the same, what is it to kill a courtier, within this big beam, he can kill whoever he wants, and no one dares to stop him.

"Huaiwen, are you blaming Yu Lian?Are you blaming Lian for Fan Yuncheng's death?" Xiao Yan asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to kill that Fan Yuncheng?" Wei Rui really didn't understand in his heart, "That Fan Yuncheng is a rare Qing official and a good official, why didn't the emperor keep him by his side for reuse, but ------ Weichen really couldn't understand." ”

"------ Huaiwen, you didn't sit in my seat, you don't know the pain of being the emperor, this clean official has to be used, this corrupt official has to be used, if this court is all used by clean officials like Fan Yuncheng, all the things in the Union must be governed by the law, and all the family members of the Union cannot make the slightest mistake, our royal family has no privileges, what is the difference between it and the ordinary people? Fan Yuncheng is a clean official, just like the rope, the hands and feet of the Lian are tied to death, the Lian can't move if he wants to------ there can't be too many corrupt officials in the court, the corrupt officials are full of private pockets, and secretly put the silver of the treasury into their small treasury, and the big beams of the Lian will collapse------ Huaiwen, how do you want the Lian to do it? Lian can only close his eyes when he should open his eyes, open his eyes when he should close his eyes------ think about that Fan Yuncheng, he grabbed Lian's sixth brother and didn't let go, if Lian cures the crime of the sixth brother, the clansmen will scold Lian for ignoring family affection, that Xiao Luan killed his family, Lian still thinks of ------ is still terrified, it is precisely because he has seen too much of Xiao Luan's killing of flesh and blood, Lian tried his best to protect his family, is it wrong for Lian to do this? Lian's sixth brother wants to rebel, Lian has already known that he knows the sixth brother's temperament Lian is the best, he has a weak temperament, and he is definitely not the kind of person who insists on rebellion. If the sixth brother didn't die, Lian would not treat Fan Yuncheng like this. ”

Wei Rui heard the emperor admit to the murder with his own ears, and his mood was extremely low, although this was the case, but today the emperor admitted the matter in person, which still made him heartbroken.

"Your Majesty------ it doesn't matter how much mistake you made before, no matter how many mistakes you have made, it doesn't matter, the most important thing, Your Majesty, you ------really shouldn't do it. Wei Rui said bitterly, "You shouldn't have moved Lord Fan------ why didn't you let their whole family leave?

"Lian has done it, Lian's words are true, and they will never be changed. Xiao Yan said angrily.

"Your Majesty, do you know that you are only one step away from death," Wei Rui said sadly------ "Haven't you ever felt it?"

Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that Wei Rui would say such terrifying words, what did it mean that he was one step away from death?

"Your Majesty, if someone harms your family, you will definitely try your best to avenge your family, even your sixth brother who deserves death for rebellion, you can forgive him ------ let him go, to Lord Fan who exposed his conspiracy to rebel------ Weichen also said just now, Your Majesty, you should not kill Lord Fan, that is because when it comes to maintaining family affection, Mrs. Fan is much stronger than the emperor. ”

"Could it be that Mrs. Fan is a martial arts master who takes people's heads within a hundred steps?" Xiao Yan asked sneeringly.

Wei Rui smiled slightly, he slowly picked up a chess piece, and gently landed on the chessboard, he looked at the overall situation carefully before he spoke: "Your Majesty, this topic, I still have to turn to Gu Yishan and Xiao Ziliang, or Xiao Baorong to talk about it." ”

"The United didn't want to hear his name. Xiao Yan said coldly.

"Well, Weichen won't mention him anymore, but Xiao Ziliang and Weichen can still mention it. ”

Xiao Yan looked at Wei Rui with a pale face, knowing that it was impossible for him to block his mouth at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister will take a step back, I will start with Mrs. Fan, just now the minister said that the emperor made a great mistake, that is, the death of Fan Yuncheng, although his wife is a woman, but she is resourceful, not inferior to you and me, she is always at a disadvantage when she is playing with the emperor, because she is different from the emperor, in that she does not have a strong imperial power in her hands, she can only support the Fan family with her own strength------------ but after Fan Yuncheng's death, she knows that her years of hard work have lost their meaning, in front of her, there are two choices: one is to escape from the world, and the other is to rise up against the emperor, these two choices will bring different results, and what Wechen is most afraid of is to see the second result. After Lord Fan just died, Wei Chen went to the Fan Mansion to pay tribute to Lord Fan, I want to ask for an answer, whether the answer is what I want or not, as long as Mrs. Fan gives me this answer, I will come up with a way to deal with it------"

"Huaiwen, what are you talking about, Lian doesn't understand. Xiao Yan said puzzled.

Wei Rui smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen said so much just now, don't you still understand? This world is not your world in the first place, if Xiao Baorong is still alive, or his relatives are still alive, if you want to take the opportunity to start an incident and take back this great beam from the emperor's hands, can the emperor stop it?"

Xiao Yan smiled, and he said confidently: "If I Xiao Yan doesn't have some real talent and real learning, I can't sit on the throne above this hall, and I want to covet my Xiao Yan's country, but I'm afraid that he doesn't have this ability." ”

"If this talent overshadows Xiao Ziliang and his martial arts come from Gu Yishan, will you still think so, Your Majesty?" Wei Rui asked calmly.

The smile on Xiao Yan's face gradually disappeared for a while, he knew that there was no such person in the world who could catch up with him, he knew that he had been in power for many years, and his political achievements were remarkable, which was something that the world could see, he had been diligent and diligent all these years, busy with government affairs day and night, he was not like a real monarch, arrogant and lascivious to live the real life of an emperor, he has always lived a difficult life like that ascetic in this life, why are there so many people in this world who hate themselves? Why do your relatives rebel against you?

Even the loyal and good general in front of him was here to ask himself------ what is going on now? Xiao Yan looked at Wei Rui in front of him in a daze.

"Fortunately, the answer Mrs. Fan gave me was to Weichen's relief------ she just wanted to escape the world with her family and ------ the emperor, why did you send someone to stop her from leaving?" Wei Rui asked a little sadly.

"Wynwen------ who are you talking about?"

"Of course it's Mrs. Fan, why did you send General He to hunt her down? Weichen just said so much, don't you understand? That Mrs. Fan gave up everything she had at her fingertips and chose to leave, Yu Daliang, the emperor and the people in the world are all excellent things------ why did the emperor want to kill her?"

Xiao Yan gasped, he didn't clearly understand what was going on with the old things Wei Rui said just now, but just after Wei Rui said this, he suddenly understood that all this Wei Rui said, every word was so crucial.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Fan is not an ordinary person, she must be the queen of Xiao Ziliang, the king of Jingling------"

Xiao Yan's hand that originally went to take the chess pieces suddenly hung down weakly, he remembered that after Xiao Baorong's death, Xiao Ziliang suddenly closed the door and did not care about anything in the court, or played the piano and wrote poems in the mansion, or drifted away, traveling around those famous mountains and rivers, he was extremely dissatisfied with him back then, and he was the only one among the eight friends of the tomb Xiao Ziliang did not contribute to the beam he established, and he shed a drop of sweat------

"Your Majesty, why did you have to kill Xiao Baorong back then?" Wei Rui saw the emperor's pale and weak hand, and tried in vain to grab the chess pieces in the jade bowl, but he couldn't catch a single chess piece.

"Why do you want to kill him? Of course, it is for the sake of my beam, which can be immortalized for thousands of generations. Xiao Yan said with tears in his eyes, "When my Liang was first built, Xiao Baorong was still a teenager, if he grows up slowly over time, it will inevitably become a hidden danger for my Liang in the future." ”

"Your Majesty, the hidden danger of Daliang is not Xiao Baorong, but your own relatives------ since Xiao Baorong has given up the throne, the emperor is erudite and talented, and has read so many history books, don't you know, how many of those deposed emperors can make a comeback? Why can't he be allowed to die a good death like the filial piety emperor Liu Chan? Why do you have to send someone to kill their entire family? The emperor------ if people don't know, unless you don't do it, you sent Zheng Boyu to kill them, you were originally going against the sky, and the hatred borne by the people who survived the massacre can't be resolved at all------"

"Who is Mrs. Fan?" who is she?" Xiao Yan asked with a shout, "Lian doesn't believe that she is Ziliang's descendant, Lian doesn't believe it at all." ”

------ Weichen thought about it, on the day of the tragedy, Queen Wang's little sister must have escaped from her birth ------ met Xiao Ziliang. Wei Rui's eyes began to moisten, "Your Majesty, these are all Wei Chen's speculations, and there is no evidence, you can believe it or not, but Mrs. Fan burned a letter in front of me, if this letter is opened, I am afraid that the country will ------ at this time."

Xiao Yan was silent for a long time before he spoke, but at this time, there was a little more bitterness in his words: "I'm afraid that the country at this time has already changed hands, right?"

"Your Majesty, what Weichen is most worried about at this time are the people you sent out, but I am afraid that they will never come back ------. ”

"The one who was sent to chase her was Yu Linwei, do you mean that she dared to kill the emperor?" Xiao Yan asked in disbelief.

Wei Rui sighed, he didn't know what the future would be, but according to his understanding of Ling Xiao's temperament, she would never let go of He Zheng, outside Jiankang City at this time, I was afraid that it would not be so calm.
