After everyone in the hall listened to Wan Hu's tearful complaint, they suddenly realized.
After hearing this, Xun Yu said: "Since this was done by Liu Bozhao and Wang Yan, we and my ministers should assemble the sharp troops in the capital to resist the rebels and share your majesty's worries. How can we pour dirty water on me?"
After hearing this, Wan Hu raised his eyebrows and pointed at Xun Yu and cursed: "It's you, your father and son are the masterminds of all this."
"How dare you!" Xun Mou shouted loudly, causing the officials to tremble. "You dare to slander a high official in the imperial court based on only your one-sided words..."
"You are so bold..." Wan Hu was on the verge of emotional collapse, but with the support of Xu Guoshu and others, he was not afraid and stood up to point out Xun Mou, "Everyone in Liu Bozhao's army knows about this matter. I am also personally aware of this matter." I heard Liu Bozhao and Wang Yan saying that they wanted to return to Beijing and cooperate with you and your son inside and outside to force the emperor to abdicate..."
Xun Yu said: "In that case, why not wait until Liu Bozhao comes back and confront him personally."
"Hmph..." Liu Yan sneered, "I'm afraid that by the time they come back, everything will be too late!"
As soon as the emperor said this, there was an instant silence in the palace. Everyone was stunned at first. Seeing that the emperor had already spoken, it seemed that the rebellion of Xun Yu and his son had been confirmed. The emperor should have been prepared for it. Then there was an uproar again, and everyone spoke in unison. Xun Yu and his son committed rebellion and should be executed immediately.
Xun Yu and his son seemed to have nothing to do with the accusations from everyone and didn't care. Lu Renxiang seemed to see what they were thinking, so he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty!" After everyone was quiet, he continued, "Duke Wei is the founding hero of our dynasty, and General Xun is the pillar of our dynasty. Father and son have two generations. The hard work has done a great job, so I don’t think I have such a different intention. It must be someone with ulterior motives who is sowing discord and wants to defeat our country. I hope your majesty will tell you clearly!"
Du Zongting glared and immediately retorted: "The witness is here, what else can you say! Lu Renxiang, how can you still defend these people? Are you also an accomplice?" After saying this, Quan Shidao, Xu Bingde and others were all confused. Voices of agreement.
Liu Yan didn't want the stalemate to continue any longer. He wanted to give Xun Yu and his son another chance, "Mr. Wei Guo, do you and your son still have anything to say?"
Xun Yu looked back at Xun Mou and saw his son nodding, so he pretended to be sad and said: "Old minister, I am sincere for the great man and never dare to have any selfish intentions. Old minister...the father and son of the veteran minister have devoted all their energy and dedication to your majesty. Keep it. Now there are villains who are bewitching the king's heart and sowing discord. Your Majesty..." After saying this, he burst into tears, "I am really heartbroken!"
"Old thief Xun Yu..." Seeing that the emperor seemed a little shaken, Xu Bingde immediately shouted angrily, "You are still pretending to be crazy and acting like a fool." The topic changed, "Your Majesty, we must take down Xun Mou and his son now. We must not tolerate it!"
Liu Yan tried his best to calm down, controlled his emotions, lowered his eyebrows, and stared directly at Xun Yu to see if he was loyal or full of lies. The look of Xun Yu crying bitterly made people feel a little pitiful. Looking at Xun Mou beside him, he was also wiping away his tears with his sleeves.
The ministers in the palace who were originally in agreement did not dare to speak at this time, as if everyone saw the emperor's expression. Quan Shidao and Du Zongting looked at each other noncommittally. Both of them were a little bit stuck, but on second thought, maybe now is a good time to bring down Xun Yu and his son. The emperor is hesitant now, and he has his own reasons. Firstly, if It was true that he and his son were wrongly accused and killed by mistake. That would be self-destruction of the Great Wall. After all, they were now facing off against the rebels, and there was no one in the court to help them. The final consequences would be disastrous. Secondly, if this matter is true, Xun Yu and his son really have different intentions and want to rebel. If they are not eliminated now, there will definitely be another bloody storm.
"Old thief!" Wan Hu pointed at Xun Yu and cursed, "Even now, you are still acting coy. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
Xun Yu snorted coldly and said: "What is pure will become clear by itself, and what is turbid will become turbid by itself. Why should I be afraid of this?"
No, Liu Yan seemed to have noticed something was wrong. Wan Hu was right, how could he not be afraid, how could he still be so calm and calm? Liu Yan shouted: "Xun Yu, do you know your sin!"
Xun Yu was immediately startled. When he looked up, Liu Yan's eyebrows stood up, with murderous intent in his eyes. Xun Mou had no intention of kneeling down, and still defended himself: "I am very loyal, and the sun and the moon can teach me. You must not listen to the villain's slander!"
"Death is imminent and you still haven't confessed your guilt." Liu Yan's eyes turned red and he yelled angrily, "Come on, old thief Xun Yu has fifty..."
"Wait a minute..." Xun Mou finally spoke. He looked calm and walked down the steps in an orderly manner. Zhang Dan, who was standing beside him, unconsciously made way for him.
Xu Bingde became a little proud at this time and sneered: "What? Are you finally going to plead guilty?"
Xun Mou said solemnly, "Your Majesty, you have also seen that there are many treacherous ministers like Xu Bingde in the court, deceiving the saints. If Your Majesty does not get rid of these treacherous villains, there will be endless troubles." Xun Mou said. , turned around and pulled out the sword from Zhang Dan's waist, pointed at Xu Bingde, and said: "Today I will protect your majesty."
While the emperor and his ministers were stunned, Xu Bingde didn't even wait to speak, blood spattered and his head was missing. Everyone was shocked and everyone in the palace fled away. A few bold ones quickly shouted for Zhang Dan to take down Xun Mou. But Zhang Dan turned a deaf ear and stood motionless.
"Zhang Dan..." Liu Yan shouted anxiously, but Zhang Dan remained motionless, "Quickly capture Xun Mou..."
"Stop shouting!" Xun Mou said contemptuously, and then the hall became quiet.
Yan Ziqi, the Minister of Rites, had white hair and a silver beard. He had always been prestigious in the court, so he stood up and yelled at Xun Mou: "Xun Mou, my son, how can I allow you to be so rude and rude in the main hall and not kneel down?"
Xun Mou turned around and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Mr. Yan, you are a veteran of two dynasties. It is not easy to sit in the post of minister. Do you also think that I was right to kill Xu Bingde today?"
"You..." Yan Ziqi was so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled, and he pointed at Xun Mou angrily, "You are bullying the king and ignoring your superiors. I think you are rebelling." Then he pointed at Zhang Dan and cursed, "Zhang Dan, are you also being fooled by Xun Mou?" Bought?"
Zhang Dan just stood respectfully behind Xun Mou, still expressionless and silent.
Yan Ziqi also confirmed that they were indeed a group, so he continued to point at them and cursed, "You are collaborating and causing rebellion. You should be punished for your crimes. Even if you bribed the Dragon and Tiger Guards, there are still my Han subjects outside. You can't escape." Those who have gone out, now abandon their weapons and surrender, Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
Xun Mou didn't wait for Yan Ziqi to say anything, raised his sword and was about to stab Yan Ziqi.
"Wait!"
Seeing that Liu Yan finally spoke, Xun Mou took his sword back out of consideration for his face.
Liu Yan's mood calmed down a little at this time, "It seems that you came prepared today. Tell me, are all your people outside now?"
The ministers looked at each other in shock, losing their original energy to shout and kill.
Xun Mou raised his head proudly and said, "Not bad." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of armor outside the palace door. When everyone looked back, it turned out to be General Meng Silang of the Jinwu Guard, holding a bloody head in his hand. class.
