Chapter 459: People are old and refined

If there were no series of changes in the back, it would be reasonable for Sun Tu to be targeted for killing horses at the South Gate. But now that there are people in Xingzhou City, there are swords and soldiers, and even bows and arrows are used, so it would be a bit of a fuss for the emperor to investigate his crime of killing horses.

Could it be that the emperor wanted to come to surround Wei and save Zhao, so as to exonerate the crown prince? Sun Tu suddenly had such a thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say these words, and even bowed his head in a little panic: "The minister is guilty, the minister really shouldn't be so disobedient to the prince's will." But the minister still wants to say something. ”

"Say." Li Qianshun glanced at him indifferently and replied casually.

"The day before yesterday, it was really because of the honor and disgrace of my son-in-law that the minister had to make this decision. And although the crown prince is the king, the minister is not a court official after all...... The minister thinks that my identity is first a retainer of the fine seal clan, and then a courtier of the Xia Kingdom, since someone wants to insult my lord, even if the minister knows that the consequences are serious, he must stand up to protect the lord, and hope that the emperor will see it! Sun Tu said, no longer bowing his head, but looking up at Li Qianshun, putting on a loyal appearance.

After saying this, the faces of the crown prince and Mo Yuhe changed, and the latter looked at Sun Tu with a little more appreciation in his eyes. As for the fine seal, his body trembled slightly at this time, but it was not caused by fright, but a manifestation of excitement, his face was a little red, and the panic and anxiety he had seen the emperor for the first time had magically disappeared at this moment!

Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor was also a little stunned by Sun Tu's words, he had mustered up the courage to take a few steps forward, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Emperor, everything Qianli said came from the bottom of his heart, and he really offended the prince's authority in order to relieve the siege for his ministers. If the emperor really wants to blame him, he is willing to replace him! ”

The emperor's face changed slightly, and then he laughed hehehe: "Okay, it's really rare to show the concentric performance of master and servant." In this way, if I want to condemn him, you must stop him? He deliberately did not call the name of the fine seal and replaced the fine seal clan, obviously hiding some kind of warning.

But Xi Feng Chang was already full of blood at this time, and he had already let everything out, and immediately answered: "The minister is only willing to share the same crime with Sun Qianli, and I hope that the emperor will approve it!" ”

Now, things are really frozen here. Even if the emperor is annoyed in his heart, it is really not good to attack the fine seal Chang because of this matter, because the fine seal Ye Chang and the entire fine seal clan behind it are a huge force that cannot be ignored in the Western Xia Kingdom, even he, the emperor, must be afraid of three points.

Seeing that the emperor's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what to say, Mo Yuhe finally spoke: "The emperor is angry. In Yichen's opinion, although Sun Qianli's previous actions were rude, in the end, there was a reason for the incident, which can be regarded as excusable. What's more, he also suffered the consequences later, and was almost killed. If such a loyal person is killed, I am afraid that it will make the people of the government and the wilderness feel cold! ”

Li Qianshun was feeling a little embarrassed, and now that Mo Yuhe gave him a step, he went down and snorted: "You guys get up, and put this matter aside for the time being." But Sun Qianli, do you really dare to identify the prince in front of me as the mastermind behind the previous attack on you? As he spoke, his eyes had once again covered Sun Tu, who had just gotten up, and Huangwei was pressing over like a mountain.

Sun Tugang wanted to resist this pressure, but suddenly his heart moved, and he hurriedly lowered his head, posing as if he didn't dare to look at him, and then said hesitantly: "The minister naturally didn't dare to confirm it, I just heard them talk about it." And this is also an inference based on what happened before...... "He thought that his identity was only a Han of Liao who had been exiled to the Xia State after all, so he naturally did not have the courage to confront the king of a country, so he immediately made a weak move."

"Hmph, what an inference, is this the courage of your people from Liao?" Sure enough, the emperor suddenly mentioned his identity as a "Liao national", obviously meaning something.

Sun Tu naturally didn't want to argue with him at this time, but just stood there a little aggrieved, no longer silent, and gave the opportunity to deal with the emperor's words to Mo Yuhe.

And Mo Yuhe really didn't disappoint him, and immediately spoke: "Emperor, although Sun Qianli was not from my Xia before, he had already belonged to the Xifeng clan earlier, and he has always been loyal, so it would be a bit nitpicky to question him!" In the minister's opinion, although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that all this is the prince's doing, the prince is still to blame! If he hadn't connived at his subordinates earlier to make it difficult for them, what would have happened later? ”

Sun Tu glanced at Mo Yuhe, who was talking eloquently, in addition to being bold enough, or powerful enough to wrestle with the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, his strategy of attacking the enemy was also quite clever. He actually deliberately took half a step back as if he was weak at this time, but at the same time he continued to attack the prince, and this time the charge was really difficult to clear!

The emperor was silent, and his gaze turned to the crown prince, which contained some resentment that hatred of iron could not be made of steel. What the prince did before was indeed too much in his opinion, and it was really not what a prince of a country should do, so this time he suffered some hardships because of this, which the emperor wanted to see.

As if feeling the emperor's disappointment, the prince also panicked a little, and immediately spoke: "Father, the son was indeed a little indulgent before...... But that's because I was bewitched by the fine seal Yao......"

"Prince, you have always boasted that you are proficient in the learning of the Han people, don't you hear that the talents of the pro-virtuous ministers and the young people are the foundation of the monarch?" Mo Yuhe immediately seized the opportunity and suddenly questioned him, which made the prince speechless again, and he was a little unsure of how to deal with it.

Sun Tu was watching coldly from the side at this time, and he had gradually tasted it, and finally saw the true purpose of Mo Yuhe. I don't know if it's because he saw something because of the frustration of suing the prince last night, and he felt that the emperor had not moved the prince because of such things, so he came to build a plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang.

He seems to be menacing, as if he wants to completely defeat the prince, but in fact, he is just trying to ruin the prince's reputation and shake his position in the emperor's mind! And because of the behavior that seemed to push the prince down before, when he suddenly withdrew his troops, it was easier for the emperor to accept it, that is, the prince was afraid that he would choose to calm down in the spirit of self-preservation at this time!

Sure enough, after some struggle, the prince still got up and saluted: "Father, my son is guilty, I was indeed deceived by others and acted a little profligately, which led to today's loss!" ”

After listening to the prince's words, Li Qianshun's face suddenly sank, and then he glared at his son fiercely. The prince didn't realize Mo Yuhe's intentions, but he had already tasted the taste, and was thinking about how to deal with it, but he didn't expect his son to give up at this time.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates, at this time, in Li Qianshun's eyes, his son is a pig teammate! In this way, it is no longer possible for him to excuse him, so he can only put on a straight face and say: "You can know that the proof of error has not reached the point of incorrigibility, even if this matter should not be instructed by you, but you should also accept severe punishment!" Mo Yuhe, tell me, what should I do with the prince? ”

When Mo Yuhe heard this question, his heart was shocked, and he knew that this was the emperor expressing his dissatisfaction and wanted to use this to beat himself. If he really followed this question and said something about how to punish the prince, he would be accused of slandering the king. Although this little thing can't hurt him in the slightest, it will also weaken the momentum that he has won so hard.

So when he was old and refined, he immediately started Tai Chi and gently pushed: "The prince is the prince, and the ministers dare not speak lightly about his crimes, everything is up to the emperor's decision!" ”

Hearing this, the prince wanted to kill him, if he could beat him. Why have you been thinking about how to condemn me just now, why are you shirking it again now, you are too good at pretending!

The emperor also sighed secretly in his heart, Mo Yuhe, this old thing, is still cautious, and today is going to benefit him after all. So he said with a straight face: "In this case, I will first confine him to the palace for half a month for the prince's immorality, and fine him for one year, and edict the world." Are you still satisfied? ”

"Emperor Shengming." Mo Yuhe once again avoided a pit, but only praised it loudly, and then Sun Tu and Xi Fengchang also praised it loudly.

Just when everyone thought that today's matter was going to end here, Mo Yuhe said: "Emperor, the minister thinks that this incident has also exposed the problem of his lack of ability to some officials. For example, the Beijing Inspection Department failed to appear in time during these two accidents, which is really an unforgivable crime! His boss Li Kan should be severely punished, otherwise how can he serve the public? ”

As soon as these words came out, the prince's face turned pale again, and he suddenly knew that something was wrong, maybe this was the biggest goal of Mo Yuhe's entry into the palace this time, he came to the position of the inspection department!

Many of the Western Xia officials were learned from the Tang or Song Dynasty, and this inspection department was the main yamen for patrolling the security of the capital, and it was also an extremely important official office in the capital. And in order to let the prince grasp more power for himself, it took a lot of effort to support his own people to the position of the chief inspector, and he didn't expect Mo Yuhe to take advantage of this opportunity to attack him!

And the terrible thing is that now that he is guilty, it is really difficult to speak for Li Kan, and the only way is to look at the emperor with some pleading.

The emperor's brows were also furrowed, but when he met Mo Yuhe's eyes, he knew that it was impossible for the other party to make concessions in this matter! Why is he willing to let go of the prince so easily, only to damage his reputation, in the final analysis, it is for the position of the chief inspector, if he intervenes again, I am afraid that Mo Yuhe will rebound, and then I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses......
