At the same time, Xuanzheng Palace.
The members of the Yaoyao Legion all surrounded Du Guanliu, saying flattery one after another as if they were free of charge.
Zhou Siren: "Du Shangshu is so lucky. The legitimate daughter of the family has received the emperor's favor, and the children in the family are also more successful than the others. Not to mention, Du Shangshu, you are the elder of two dynasties!"
Di Shunzhi: "Du Shangshu is an important minister of the country..."
Even Lin Qingti, the most aloof and aloof person, was immersed in the flattery of his colleagues, and he flattered him one after another.
Gao Chongguang flattered and handed over his hand: "Master Du has been an important official in the two dynasties, your Majesty's humerus, and the pillar of Yan Chi... bah bah bah... It is a great blessing for Yanchi to have Lord Du!"
Du Guanliu smiled on his face, but snorted coldly in his heart.
Some time ago, they were frowning at me, but now they are wagging their tails happily.
What a villain!
But I have to say that listening to these people flattering me made me feel happy, my whole body felt comfortable, and my whole body was in a state of elation.
Especially this Gao Chongguang, who is worthy of inheriting his father's legacy and has won the favor of his father's toady.
Ning Shouli, who was new to the Yaoyao Legion, was a little embarrassed.
I never said before that if you follow His Majesty, you have to learn to flatter others!
In a daze, Du Guanliu glanced at him and raised his eyebrows: "Why doesn't Mr. Ning say anything?"
The implication is that they are all flattering, why don't you be more obedient?
Ning Shouli's face was stunned.
That's all, everything is for His Majesty's great cause, so he will give up this old face!
"This official is just sighing. Mr. Du has made great contributions to Yan Chi... blah blah blah..."
Shameless old man, your Du family won't be in glory for long!
Yun Yaoyao, who was sitting in the seat, also showed a deep affection for a monarch and his subjects with Du Guanliu, wishing they could sleep together every day.
The Du family was so prosperous for a while!
This made other ministers in the court look sour.
The man at the head of the criminal squad had a dull look in his eyes.
This person is none other than Yan Qinghong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments. He has a pair of sinister eyes and a sickly white skin underneath his crimson official uniform.
Recently, His Majesty and the Du family have jointly put pressure on him, intending to unseat him.
Could it be that Your Majesty knows about his relationship with King Ze...
Suddenly, a low and cold voice came from above.
"Yan Shangshu, what do you think about King Ze?"
Yan Qinghong saluted and tried his best to make his position well-founded and not biased: "Your Majesty, I feel that there is something wrong with King Ze being sent to the prison. Everything is just one-sided words of Concubine Miao, and there is no evidence. , is illegal."
The rest of the Zewang Party also spoke out and jointly put pressure on him.
"Your Majesty, you have detained King Ze for three days..."
"Your Majesty, this is unfair..."
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to release King Ze..."
But now King Ze is in a state of decline. Not only has his reputation among the people been ruined, but under the joint suppression of Yun Yaoyao and the Du family, the parties have switched sides and dismounted.
The rest either have deep interest deals with King Ze, or they can hold on with their own strength.
These rebuttal words seem to be insufficient.
In response, Yun Yaoyao snorted coldly.
"Yan Shangshu, as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, you have to collect evidence of crimes. If you can only say these few words, then what use do I need from you!"
Yan Qinghong immediately knelt on the ground, sweat dripping from his back: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Du Guan, the Smiling Tiger, added to the trouble: "We think your Majesty's move is a wise move. King Ze has aroused public outrage. Not only is he suspected of murdering Concubine Miao, but he is also suspected of colluding with the Huns and betraying military intelligence. He must not be let go!"
"Yan Shangshu, why are you so partial to King Ze! Could it be that you were bribed by him!
Yan Qinghong's voice was hoarse: "I will discuss the matter, Du Shangshu, please don't spit on others!"
The second person in the line of criminal troops is Du Xiucheng, the minister of punishment, a collateral descendant of the Du family with extraordinary abilities. At this time, his face and eyes are filled with pride.
Although Mr. Du said that before Concubine Ling gave birth to the prince, the Du family must not take any chances in important matters and become His Majesty's sword.
However, he is still happy to see this good thing of squeezing his immediate boss down and putting himself at the top~
Du Xiucheng looked solemn and said: "Wei Chen agrees with Du Shangshu's words. Concubine Miao and the military situation are both of great importance. King Ze will not be released from the prison until he is cleared of suspicion!"
With external pressure and internal backstabbing, Yan Qinghong has never been as embarrassed as he is today.
But the Yan family and King Ze have an inseparable relationship. Even if he doesn't want to drown this muddy water, he has to drown it!
Yun Yaoyao looked at Yan Qinghong who was kneeling down below, with a determination to win in her eyes.
This Minister of the Ministry of Justice, known as the "Living King of Hell", is indeed a rare talent in official governance. She has long wanted to take him under her command.
On the surface, he has always been a neutral party who does not participate in partisan disputes. Privately, for some unspeakable reasons, he shares the same interests with King Ze.
This time King Ze is in trouble, it's a good time for her to poach someone!
Not long after, there was another heated argument about King Ze in the court.
His Majesty even promoted two female officials working in the harem, Guan Wanyu and Ning Ying, to the imperial court, and the courtiers had no time to pay attention.
After the court, many courtiers had dry throats and smoke, and they just wanted to get out of the palace and get into sedan chairs to drink some tea to moisten their throats.
As a result, not far from the Xuanzheng Hall, I saw a white-haired old man standing in the middle of the road. He was stroking his beard with one hand and holding his hand behind his back. He was wearing a white robe and sapphire. He looked like an old man with an immortal air.
The courtiers froze, and many of them immediately recognized the person.
"Isn't this Master Tu? Why did Master Tu suddenly appear in the palace?"
"Master Tu is not only the teacher of the late emperor, but also the teacher of King Ze. The late emperor once promised it personally, but he entered the palace without permission. I am afraid that he came here for King Ze."
"Master Tu not only has a distinguished status, but also has disciples all over the world. He also has a legacy from the late emperor. If he uses the legacy and the influence of his disciples all over the world to pressure him, Your Majesty may not be able to imprison King Ze anymore..."
The courtiers secretly glanced at His Majesty's face.
Ze Wangdang even wiped away the dejection on his face, straightened his back, and his eyes were as bright as fire.
It was daybreak, the rain had stopped, and they felt like they were doing well again!
Come on, Your Majesty, let's fight again!
Grand Master Tu walked up to Yun Yaoyao in two or two steps and saluted Shi Shiran, his voice was old but sonorous and powerful.
"Your Majesty, I have come out this time with a heavy responsibility to revitalize the court and help the king! To fulfill the words that the late emperor entrusted to me!"
Taishi Tu talked a lot.
I don't know if it's because the other party has been a good teacher for a long time, but Yun Yaoyao always hears a hint of moral kidnapping and condescension in his words.
But Yun Yaoyao said that as long as I have no morals, I will not be kidnapped.
What you say is yours, she focuses on one thing: not listening but not bothering.
Yun Yaoyao was annoyed by what he said, and she let out a cold snort.
The height difference between the two forces Master Tu could only look up at each other.
I saw the dark and noble nostrils opening and closing, and in conjunction with the thin lips below, he said something that almost made Grand Master Lingtu jump.
"Listening to your words is like listening to your words."
"If there is some truth in what Grand Master Tu said, it won't make sense to me if I listen to it. It doesn't make any sense at all."
"If you want me to release King Ze, then present evidence to clear his suspicion. If you don't want me to release him, then don't present evidence to clear his suspicion!"
What nonsense are you talking about!
Your Majesty is even more heinous than when he was a tyrant. He is simply a coward!
