Marquis Pingyuan used the trick of bitterness, and then brought out Emperor Taizu to put pressure on the emperor. It can be said that he is well versed in the ways of officialdom.
The emperor's face suddenly darkened and he shouted,
"Are you saying that I am still an unfilial person? Should I kneel down in front of my ancestors and apologize?"
"I don't dare, I'm afraid!"
Marquis Pingyuan immediately knelt down and said,
"I am just worried about the Lord Protector and want to redress the grievances of the Lord Protector's son."
"The son of the protector of the country disobeyed the general and was executed on the spot by Han Taibao. This case has been settled. You should not file a complaint again."
After speaking, the emperor looked at Han Yun again, his tone softened,
"The Lord Protector also loves his son very much, and he acted impulsively in a hurry. It is understandable and understandable.
These soldiers have worked hard and have been wronged. Each of them will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and three days' rest. Let's all go down. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Han Yun held his hands.
The soldiers were led down by the eunuchs to receive their rewards. They were in a trance as if they were dreaming.
One hundred taels of silver, without military merit, it would be difficult for them to save it even if they didn't eat or drink for decades. They didn't expect that they could earn so much just by being beaten.
At this moment, several people decided to be loyal to Palace Master Han and retaliate with death.
After they left, the emperor looked at the people in front of him again, indicating with his eyes why they hadn't left yet.
The eldest prince, prince and princess resigned and left obediently, but none of the nobles left.
Han Yun stood up to leave, but Marquis Pingyuan called to him and stopped him.
"Han Yun, the matter is not over yet, you can't leave."
Oops, this is what I've been waiting for.
Han Yun came back obediently immediately.
He also wants to stay here, because he has to do something big tonight, and these people can provide him with an alibi.
"Didn't His Majesty say the case is closed? Why do you say it's not closed yet?"
Han Yun pretended to be unhappy.
"I am not convinced and ask your Majesty to re-judgment!"
Marquis Pingyuan shouted loudly.
"Okay, in that case, I will wait here."
Han Yun nodded.
"I still have to deal with official business. If you want to stand, then stand here!"
The emperor snorted coldly, turned and entered the imperial study.
The nobles stood at the door one by one, saying nothing.
This is a common demonstration method used by Beijing officials, but civil servants usually kneel and can endure hardship better, while nobles and nobles want to save face, so they always stand and have more backbone.
But you can't yell or make noise to His Majesty, otherwise you will be pulled down and beaten.
Han Yun looked around and saw that the chair where the emperor had sat had not been taken away. He didn't mind it and sat on it directly.
He leaned on the backrest, put his hands on the armrests, closed his eyes and rested, and the old god was there.
After all, there is a saying that goes well: it is better to stand than to stand upside down, and it is better to have fun than...
The little eunuch standing at the door had his eyes twitching. That was the chair that His Majesty had sat on. What if the old man came out later and saw Taibao Han sitting on his chair, wouldn't he be happy?
The dignitaries remained silent or reminded, waiting for the emperor to come out and reprimand Han Yun.
The sun sets and night falls.
All of you have great courage and vow to fight to the end.
The eunuch came over and invited them to go home, but they refused to leave. They refused to eat the dinner brought by the palace maid, they did not wear the cloaks and robes brought by the palace maid, and they did not drink the wine brought to warm them up. They just stood proudly and bravely.
The night in early spring is still cold, and the biting cold wind roars miserably, as if it is taking away the last bit of warmth from people's bodies.
The hungry and cold nobles trembled and gritted their teeth to resist, but the physical pain was far less than the psychological jealousy.
The person in front of him is sitting on a chair, wearing a thick cloak. On one side is a palace maid holding wine, on the other side is a eunuch holding cakes. There are two flames floating in front and behind him for warmth, and there are eight beads forming an array next to him. The law resists the cold wind.
Why is the gap between people so big? !
Han Yun Tangtang's Yuanshen Realm cultivation has long been immune to cold and heat. Even if he goes to extremely cold places, he will not feel a trace of cold.
He did this purely to anger these people.
The cold wind is blowing...
At midnight, Han Yun released his spiritual consciousness and saw the Protector's Mansion in the imperial city, where funeral arrangements were being made intensively, while the Protector was lying on the bed, coughing angrily.
Next to him, the wife was wailing, the concubines were secretly wiping away their tears, and the other sons and daughters gathered in front of the bed, showing their filial piety.
Outside, the white silk was fluttering, and people were still busy preparing for Tan Hui's death.
In order to save some effort for the servants of the Protector's Mansion, Han Yun helped them thoughtfully and asked them to organize the funeral of the Protector's family together.
…
At dawn the next day, the emperor got up and washed himself, and it was time to prepare for today's morning court.
After leaving the door, the emperor saw the nobles shivering from the cold, and Han Taibao, who was sitting leisurely and contentedly on a chair.
"You are all so energetic. Well, don't go back to rest. Let's go to court together."
The emperor walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and all the nobles glared at Han Yun and followed him.
Taibao Han stood up and followed him.
He is the crown prince's Taibao, and as a first-class minister, he is naturally qualified to participate in court meetings.
I think today's court meeting will be very lively.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers who had arrived early had already stood still. The emperor entered through the side door, while the nobles and Han Yun entered the hall through the main entrance.
Han Yun came from the first rank and stood directly at the front. The prince was also there. The two nodded to each other when they met.
After Pingyuan Hou arrived at the main hall, he looked left and right and couldn't find the figure of the Protector. He was wondering, shouldn't he stand up and accuse Han Yun at this court meeting?
He is the main force, he is the one who suffers. If he doesn't come, then wouldn't we have been standing in the cold wind all night in vain?
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, and with the shout of Eunuch Cao, the court meeting began.
At this time, it was very important to be first. I saw Pingyuan Hou and an official at the front come out at the same time and shouted,
"I have something to report!"
The two shouted at the same time, and then looked at each other. Marquis Pingyuan said displeasedly,
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment, my matter is more urgent, so let me talk first."
The Minister of Punishment sighed,
"I know what Marquis Pingyuan is going to say, but there is no need to say it anymore."
"you……"
The Marquis of Pingyuan stared when he heard this. The Minister of Punishment ignored him and directly clasped his hands and bowed, saying,
"Your Majesty, I was woken up from my sleep last night and received a major case. The Duke Protector's family was exterminated last night, and they all died unexpectedly."
As soon as this statement came out, the entire court was immediately in an uproar.
Han Yun didn't need to look back to know that everyone was looking at him.
Even the emperor looked at him in surprise.
"Is this happening? Have you found out who the murderer is?"
The emperor asked the Minister of Punishment.
Some people died, but not completely...
