There was silence in Fengtian Hall. Song Zheng originally went to the palace to report something to the Liang family. Unexpectedly, Liang Jingyi personally took action and transferred the crime to the Jia family. It was really unexpected.
Ye Ling murmured in a low voice: "Master Liang did not hesitate to give up his own son, it is really vicious!"
Xu Zheng remained expressionless as he replied: "It is better to kill one person than to destroy the entire clan. If necessary, Grand Master Liang can even spare his life!"
Ye Ling was silent. He would never agree with such an approach. What he wanted was to protect everyone who mattered.
On the throne, Baili Longteng cast his gaze and landed on Jia Chengdao. Jia Chengdao's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he didn't know how to answer.
Now the evidence is conclusive, leaving him speechless. During today's court meeting, he originally wanted to stay out and watch everyone fight, but he didn't want his family to be betrayed. He also asked his son Jia Shixian and grandson Jia Ying to prepare some things, but it was meaningless to take them out at this moment.
Jia Shixian and Jia Yingjin both stood up and stood behind Jia Chengdao. Jia Ying was filled with regret. At first, he only wanted to kill Jia Hu to silence him, but he didn't know that Jia Hu actually did such a thing and wanted the entire Jia family to be buried with him!
Baili Longteng waved his hand, and Wang Jin ordered people to take the three generations of the Jia family away.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but Song Zheng continued: "Your Majesty, there is another person who wants to ask Your Majesty to punish him!"
"who!"
"It is my emperor!"
"this……"
All the ministers thought that Song Zheng was crazy, and some even shouted: "Your Majesty, Song Zheng must be beheaded for his madness!"
Song Zheng was unmoved, looked at Baili Longteng, and said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he is responsible for all people. He should uphold justice, rebuke evil, and set an example for his subjects! Your Majesty, what happened in Luzhou..."
"That's enough!" Baili Longteng showed anger for the first time and interrupted Song Zheng: "Put Song Zheng on death row and keep him under strict supervision. No outsiders are allowed to visit!"
"According to the order, take him down!" Wang Jin received the order and called the guards to come forward and take the person.
Song Zheng raised the purple gold whip high, and used the luck of heaven and earth for him. He was not allowed to get close to him. He continued: "The Holy Spirit should know when to go astray. Don't make the same mistake again and again. Use the traitors of the court to take the lives of all people for their own selfishness. ! Your Majesty…”
"Take me down here!"
Baili Longteng waved his sleeves, and the purple gold whip in Song Zheng's hand suddenly shattered, and he could no longer borrow the power of the dynasty. They stepped forward to hold Song Zheng down and dragged him out.
Song Zheng still kept talking: "Your Majesty! If you continue to persist in your stubbornness, you will be doomed in the end! Your Majesty is the king of a country, how could you make such a huge mistake!"
Song Zheng's voice echoed in the hall, and the unclear courtiers looked at each other. Everyone who knew the inside story remained silent.
Until a censor who did not know whether to live or die came before him and said: "Xu Zheng, a member of the Dazhu Kingdom, returned to the capital privately and neglected his duties. He feared the enemy like a tiger in the Qishan Mountains and raised the bandits with self-respect. Please ask the Holy One to seize his title and punish him severely!"
The courtiers looked sideways, they finally arrived at Xu Zheng!
Today's court meeting actually wants to torment all the important officials in the court. After the court meeting, the Daqian court was bound to be turned upside down.
Before the censor finished speaking, Liang Jingyi frowned and looked at Zhou Qing. Obviously, this matter was not ordered by Grand Master Liang, but Zhou Qing made his own decision.
Immediately afterwards, many officials stood up and impeached Xu Zheng together, with everyone speaking in unison and with great momentum.
Ye Ling looked at his eldest brother Xu Zheng, but saw that Xu Zheng still had his eyes closed and was unmoved.
Baili Longteng's face was slightly displeased, but he remained patient and said: "Those who have participated in the civil and martial arts examinations, do you have to force me to kill all the important officials in the imperial court before you can give up?"
"I don't dare!"
The ministers said this, but the censors and officials were so angry that they were at odds with Xu Zheng and did not even give in. Even Shen Qingyi and other superiors couldn't stop it.
Amidst the condemnation of the ministers, Xu Zheng stood up, suddenly took out the sword from his waist, and threw it in front of everyone. He looked calm and said: "The sword is at your feet. Pick it up and kill me, the traitor!"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers did not dare to step forward. Instead, they retreated again and again, just as timid as they were outside the gate of Taiyue City that day.
Xu Zheng turned around, without even looking at them, but said to Baili Longteng: "What's the crime of the prince? What's the crime of the queen? What's the crime of Right Minister Wang Yuanzhong?"
Word after word reached everyone's ears, and they were frightened into silence. When the prince and queen were deposed, the Chief of Ceremonies gave a warning to the courtiers and said nothing. Xu Zheng mentioned it today, I'm afraid he had ulterior motives.
Baili Longteng didn't answer. He couldn't explain the reason clearly to the court.
At this time, Liang Jingyi said: "This is the Holy Lord's family matter, but Dazhuguo has overstepped a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zheng glared at Liang Jingyi coldly. Zhou Qing was so shocked that he stood in front of his mentor. Liang Chen's sword had already been drawn halfway out.
Xu Zheng turned around again, stepped up the imperial steps step by step, and stood in front of Baili Longteng: "Please restore the title of Crown Prince to Queen, and rehabilitate Wang Yuanzhong!"
Baili Longteng smiled softly and passed the decree: "At the request of Dazhu Kingdom, Meng Wan Palace is reinstated as the queen and Baili Changkong is the prince! Wang Yuanzhong will be given to the Zhu Kingdom as a posthumous gift and he will be buried with honors!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xu Zheng bowed his hands, turned and stepped forward, calling Ye Ling to leave the hall. All the ministers stepped aside and did not dare to stop him.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, Xu Zheng turned to Baili Longteng and said: "My second brother Ye Ling was also wanted by you. Now he and my third brother Wu Qing are my generals and officials of the imperial court. If anything goes wrong, I will I want someone from you!" After saying this, the two of them walked away.
The whole court was dumbfounded, this was Xu Zheng of the Daqian Dazhu Kingdom, who was on an equal footing with Baili Longteng, and regarded the civil and military affairs of the court as if they were nothing.
"Retreat!"
Baili Longteng's figure disappeared from the throne, and the ministers also left one after another. Today's court meeting was too dangerous, and they needed to go back and review it carefully.
…………
Within the imperial city, Baili Taizao jumped to the Queen Mother's palace and said to the Queen Mother: "I sat on the roof of Fengtian Hall all morning, and they talked about many things, such as..."
After listening to Baili Taizao finish talking about today's court meeting, Gao Cuifeng smiled and said: "This is the best. There is no need for the Aijia to go there, and the emperor is left with some thin noodles."
…………
In a small courtyard, Chen Gui stood at the door of the courtyard and said: "Congratulations to the Queen, the Queen has decreed that she has been restored to her title, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to Beijing soon!"
No one said anything inside, only the loom kept ringing...
…………
Ye Ling followed Xu Zheng out of the imperial city. Xu Zheng said: "There is going to be chaos in Taiyue City. You'd better go back to the sect as soon as possible."
Ye Ling nodded and said, "Brother, where is the third brother?"
Xu Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "If my prediction is correct, he should be in Baili Hanran's hands now."
"Baili Hanran?" Ye Ling had never thought about this person before and asked in surprise: "He has helped me several times. How could this happen?"
"Help you?" Xu Zheng smiled and said, "He is just using you, just like putting Wu Qing under house arrest."
"He is trying to restrain you, eldest brother!" Ye Ling suddenly had an idea: "Use us to control eldest brother and increase his leverage in the court struggle."
Xu Zheng patted Ye Ling on the shoulder and said: "It's not too late to understand this truth. So I said Wu Qing will be fine. As long as I am still useful, Baili Hanran will not hurt him."
"Then we're going to ask for someone right now?"
Xu Zheng shook his head and said: "It's in vain to go there. We still need to find an opportunity to rescue Wu Qing. Now that Chen Changying is back, you should go see your friends."
Xu Zheng's people were naturally Qin Xiao and others who were hiding in Liangzhou. Ye Ling felt warm after hearing this: "So, brother, you know everything."
Xu Zheng looked at Ye Ling and didn't say much. In fact, he had paid attention to every move made by Ye Ling and Wu Qing since they separated from him. Xiandao's wanted order for Ye Ling and Daqian's wanted order for Ye Ling were all canceled because of Xu Zheng's presence.
The two brothers smiled at each other and parted.
Ye Ling left Taiyue City and rushed back to the town. It was already ten o'clock in the afternoon, and when I came to the door of Xu's country, I could hear the noise inside: "I can tell you, when I was a ranger, I beat away many of the immortals in this world! "
"Just brag, if you have the ability, let's give it a try?"
"I'm a good man and won't fight with women. Besides, if you are willing to hit me, am I willing to hit you?"
"Hmph! Smooth talk."
Ye Ling stood at the door and listened for a while, then opened the door with a smile and said, "Why, you didn't call me up when you were drinking?"
"leaf!"
"Brother Ye!"
In the room, Qin Xiao, Xu Guo, Qu Zhiruo, and Qu Zhiyun all came out to welcome him. When old friends meet, it's natural to have some pleasantries and reminisce about the past.
After entering the door, Yun Shu came over holding Xiao Xunuo. This little Xu Nuo is almost a year old. Her hair has grown out, and her two furry ears can now only show a little bit. Her eyes are white and unexperienced. When she looks at Ye Ling, she actually smiles and opens her two chubby lips. Little hands to hold.
Ye Ling held Xu Nuo in his arms and teased him, but he didn't recognize him at all. He seemed to still remember Ye Ling and was quite dependent on him.
Qin Xiao stepped forward and said: "Come on, come on, Ye Zi, what fun do children have? Let's drink. We'll meet again after a long separation. We'll have to get drunk before we can rest!"
"Get drunk and then you'll rest!"
Ye Ling handed the promise to Yun Shu, and was pulled to the wine table by Qin Xiao to chat while drinking.
But it turned out that Ye Ling's wanted order was cancelled, and Xu Guo and the others were fine. It happened that Chen Changying returned to Beijing, and they came back with him.
Qu Yi did not come back together because of military affairs. Only the Qu family sisters had nothing to do and came back with Qin Xiao.
Although Naqu Zhiyun was rescued by Ye Ling, he was still a little concerned about Ye Ling's ruthlessness in the mountains. He just looked at Ye Ling secretly without saying a word.
Qin Xiao carelessly boasted about his heroic deeds to Ye Ling, such as killing the enemy in front of the two armies and making a surprise attack on the enemy's grain and grass camp. Yan Ran had the image of a victorious general.
Then Qu Zhiruo would expose his elaborate lies, making everyone laugh.
After laughing, Ye Ling told Xu Guo and his wife, Master Jiu, Yun Niang, and everyone from the Longxing Escort Bureau that they had all passed away.
Xu Guo raised his head and drank a large jar of wine, then hugged his head and cried.
Ye Ling didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to drink wine on his own, trying to get himself drunk and forget these troublesome things.
When Qin Xiao saw the two of them like this, he was not convinced by his own drinking capacity, and ended up being the first one to get drunk.
It was night, there were four men in the room, three were drunk at the table, and only Xiao Xunuo slept soundly...
