Prime Minister Lu Wen'an retorted: "If the matter is urgent, if the princess had cooperated yesterday, the robbers might have been captured by now, and the whole city would not be on guard and on guard as it is now, making the city full of storms and people panic. , and many variables have been added to this."
Wei Haohao asked, "May I ask, Mr. Lu, what kind of bandits did Young Master Ling capture?"
"Hmph. This bandit is Qin Yu, the former commander of the Jin Prince's Guards. Yesterday when I led people to track him to the Jin Prince's Mansion, the blood stain disappeared. If not he was hiding in the Jin Prince's Mansion, where was he?"
Wei Haohao felt that he was shocked and asked: "How can Mr. Lu determine that the blood stains belong to Qin Yao and not someone else? Maybe the blood stains were just left by domestic animals? What's more, where is the blood stain that Mr. Lu mentioned? ? Did Mr. Ling ever see Qin Yao go to my Prince Jin’s Mansion? Is it because he wanted to break into my Prince Jin’s Mansion based on his own imagination? Is this because he is seriously ill and cannot resist? ”
But it was hard to say. Lu Wen'an changed his mind and continued to ask: "If the princess is innocent, why should she be afraid of a search?"
"Hahaha..." Dr. Zeng Liangzuo couldn't bear it. I laughed out loud.
"Master Zeng, what are you laughing at?"
"Master Lu's words reminded me of the incident in the previous dynasty when Lord Shen Tu forced Bing Sheng to death. Bing Sheng was guarding Dingyuncheng. In the past ten years, he had repelled the Yeluo tribe's attacks four times. This was the only defender in Dingyun City who was able to repel the foreign attacks many times in recorded history. However, Shentu Gong dismissed him in the name of colluding with foreign enemies and plotting rebellion. After hearing about the killing, everyone in the world was outraged, and countless people rose up. The deposed emperor was horrified and asked Duke Shentu why he wanted to kill the soldier saint. Duke Shentu replied: Because he could not prove his innocence, he killed him in the first place. Duke Shentu is so similar to the current Master Lu. "
This is not a good thing. When a country is about to collapse, there will be disasters caused by treacherous ministers. The fate of the deposed emperor of the previous dynasty is not very good, and this Duke of Shentu is even more so. The history books record him as the most treacherous minister in ancient and modern times. Zeng Liangzuo's words were not only mocking Lu Wen'an, but also mocking Emperor Yan Ping.
"Master Zeng, this is too much, isn't it?" Lu Wen'an said displeased. After all, he was worried about the reputation of this veteran of three dynasties and did not dare to speak too much.
"Master Lu's actions are indeed similar to those of Shentu Gong." Zongzheng Li Xi added without saltiness.
"When you are surrounded by people who are poisonous and smoldering, with good faces and evil hearts, your Majesty should be more vigilant and do not make the same mistakes again." Wei Guangdu warned Emperor Yan Ping in a timely manner.
Lu Wen'an was so angry that he couldn't speak. It happened that he was a good friend of Emperor Yan Ping, and he was somewhat alienated from the important ministers in the court. No one spoke for him at this time.
However, it was impossible for Emperor Yan Ping to see his bastard being ridiculed, so he said: "I already know what the ministers have said. Prime Minister Lu is also concerned about the country and the people, not..."
"Your Majesty, don't be careless. Lessons from deposing the emperorNot far away, be close to villains, and stay far away from virtuous ministers. This is the way to bring disaster. The inheritance left by Taizu Taizong must not be destroyed in the hands of the Holy Master. ”
Zeng Liangzuo, the imperial censor, did not give Emperor Yan Ping face. However, this man was a veteran of three dynasties and a model of loyalty and patriotism in the minds of the world’s literati. Emperor Yan Ping could ignore this imperial censor, but he could not They dared to take the blame easily just because they didn't want to be infamous in history.
It seemed that they were planning to fight with him to the end. Emperor Yan Ping thought about it carefully and found that there seemed to be no point that could completely suppress Wei Haohao. , then wisely changed the topic, otherwise, if they let them continue talking, I am afraid that this Prime Minister would not have to do anything.
"Princess Jin is a virtuous and virtuous woman who understands justice and has no merits. I think she should be rewarded. . Haha, Haohao, whatever you want, just say it. "
"Hao Hao wants to know what crime Qin Yao has committed. Why is the commander of the guards of the Jin Palace wanted by the government? Why do the Imperial Guards keep the prince and me under house arrest like prisoners? The prince has been guarding the border for nearly ten years. He has made great achievements in the Dingyun victory and the Three Expulsions Alliance. However, the thief who harmed him has not been found yet. The guard commander who protected him has become a wanted bandit. How can there be any in the world? Such truth! "
He is really as annoying as Li Jun, and Emperor Yan Ping feels unhappy.
Lu Wen'an said: "This Qin Yao is a traitor to the enemy, so he deserves to die. "

"Excuse me, Mr. Lu, what enemies does he have access to? Is there any evidence? ”
“Qin Yao and Siyun Kingdom communicated secretly, and the evidence of the correspondence is in the Ministry of Punishment. "
"Wow! I would like to take a look at this so-called evidence. "
Zhao Yu interjected enthusiastically as he was eating melon.
Oops, I forgot that the real owner is here, Lu Wen'an's intuition is going to be bad.
Wei Haohao also took the opportunity to say: "Yes, King Zhao is here. Whether it is true or false, you will know if you take this evidence and take a look. "
The development of the matter was beyond Emperor Yan Ping's expectation. He originally wanted to suppress Wei Haohao and take the opportunity to provoke Wei Guangdu's hatred towards the prince's family, so that the Wei family would fall to the emperor's side, and The emperor also took the opportunity to balance the power of the factions in the court, but now why is he stealing the chicken but not losing the rice?
Emperor Yan Ping nodded reluctantly. In full view of the public, he could not always do it. Taking sides will lead to the dissatisfaction of the officials.
The emperor's order was as urgent as a spark. Pei Lun, the Minister of Punishment, was also there, and he took the collaborationist letter in just two quarters of an hour.
After Emperor Yan Ping took a look at it, he showed it to Zhao Yu. After Zhao Yu took over it, he almost laughed out loud as he read it, just because he was the protagonist in it. . It makes sense when you think about it. After all, the Shangyang County guarded by King Zhao is the closest to the Jinyang County where King Jin is located, and the two counties are across the mountain. The whole family of Qin Yao died.During the enemy's attack, as the orphan of the hero, he could not surrender to the army no matter what. But who would have thought that the rightful owner would come to visit one day, and this happened to happen. It was simply a twist of fate.
"King Zhao, have you seen these letters?"
"Yes."
Huh? Why is King Zhao so cooperative?
"I'm not looking at this."
Sure enough.
Pei Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, said: "There is not only a letter written by Qin Yao to King Zhao, but also a letter written by King Zhao in reply, which mentioned that if the matter is completed, he will be granted the title of new emperor. "I wonder if this is the case with the King of Jin?"
"Haha. You know, I am just a King of Zhao. How can I make him the King of Jin? But if this Qin Yao is willing to join me?" I would like to worship him as a general in the country of Yiyun. If he has great merits, it is not a problem to make him a king. Hey, I think it is better to do this. He is not popular here, so why not give it to me. The king was taken away, and this crime was confirmed. I am willing to provide another hundred thousand taels to open up trade between the two countries and form an alliance to fight against Yeluo tribe's attack. How about it?"
"This..." That's right? It was a good result, and Emperor Yan Ping was a little moved.
"This must not be done." Wei Guangdu is now in charge of the Ministry of War. The former Minister of War is old and ill at home, and now he is responsible for all affairs of the Ministry of War.
