At this time, the night was dark, and the cold wind was blowing, and the body was so cold that people shivered. The crowd in the market gradually dispersed, and the hustle and bustle of Kaifeng City slowly calmed down.

Duan Shaolian's enthusiasm had slowly calmed down, and after listening to Liu Lian's words, he just shook his head: "The subordinate who came out just now has already said that only the lady is in the county marquis's mansion." If what he said is true, we will go up and force each other hard and disturb the female dependents, and we will provoke criticism in the future. And how could Xu Ping give up? ”

Liu Lian didn't relent: "What time is it?" Also go and think about those! After today, it will be a foregone conclusion that the queen will be deposed, and our Taiwanese advice will be pointed out by thousands of people! At this critical moment, if you want to achieve great things, you don't need to worry about small things! ”

Seeing that Duan Shaolian was still hesitating, Liu Lian pulled Jiang Tang and went straight to the door of Xu's house and slapped the door vigorously.

After a while, the previous little guy opened the door again and came out again, looking at the three people: "What else is the matter with the official?" ”

Liu Jian asked loudly: "Let me ask you, did Xu Ping hide in the house and dare not come out to see us, and let you come out and say these excuses to take us away?" ”

The little guy was confused: "Where did the official start with this?" ”

"I don't know where to start, so there is no need to talk about it, just let Xu Ping come out to see us!"

Since Xu Ping's promotion, anyone who comes to the county marquis's mansion is polite, this Liu Lian knew that the official was not big when he saw the official robe, but he called Xu Ping by his name again and again, and his tone was extremely impulsive. Although the little guy is a subordinate, he also has anger in his heart.

After looking Liu Jian up and down, the little servant said: "Official, I have made it clear to you that our county marquis is resting in the mansion outside the city tonight. If you're looking for it, just go out of town! ”

Liu Jian sneered: "Do you know that the city gate is closed, so you are looking for this kind of statement?" Xu Ping is outside the city, why is Mrs. in the house again? How can this be true! ”

The little servant held back his anger and said, "Today, Mrs. went to her sister's house as a guest, and she came back late, so she rested in the city. Tomorrow is the festival of 'Jiao New Year', and our county marquis naturally wants to go to the mansion outside the city to preside, so we went out early. ”

"It's all a pretext! I don't believe it! Just let Xu Ping come out, I have something to say! ”

Seeing that Liu Lian was unreasonable, the little guy got angry, and glared: "If you are not there, you are not there, where is my county marquis, and I still have to ask you whether you believe it or not?" The marquis is not here, it's getting late, so let's go back early! ”

After speaking, the little girl flashed into the door and closed the door with a "bang".

Liu Jian glanced at Jiang Tang beside him, and said: "This little guy's heart is obviously empty, Xu Ping must be inside!" Let's just knock on the door, and if we don't come out tonight, we won't want to rest in peace! ”

After speaking, the two of them with Liu Jian banged the door of the Xu family.

Since becoming a county marquis, the gate of the Xu family has been much larger, almost facing half of the courtyard. Knocking on the door like this outside, the whole small courtyard can be heard clearly.

Lin Suniang was in a bad mood, and when she heard the "ping-pong" sound at the door outside, she became more and more irritable, and called the little guy who came to answer the door and asked, "Who is outside?" How to entangle? ”

"It's a few officials, I haven't been to the house before, and I don't know the little ones. said that they were looking for the marquis, but I had already told them that the marquis was not there, but these people didn't believe it, they just blindly pestered and didn't leave. ”

Lin Suniang said: "I am a female relative at home alone, and I am entangled like this, what kind of system!" Go out quickly and send them away, if you don't go, just find someone from Kaifeng Mansion. ”

The little guy agreed, turned around and went out.

When the door was opened, Liu Jian and Jiang Tang were overjoyed, glanced at each other, and said in a low voice: "Xu Ping is really inside, I can't hide it!" ”

The little servant went out, closed the door with his backhand, and saluted the two: "Official, our wife said that the county marquis is not in the mansion." If you continue to pester, I will go and call the people of Kaifeng Mansion to come! ”

Liu Jian looked at the little guy and laughed angrily: "Brother Jiang didn't hear it, this little guy actually said that he was going to call the people of Kaifeng Mansion!" Don't laugh at me! ”

said, turned to look at the little guy: "Go quickly, find the people from Kaifeng Mansion, I see how Xu Ping is still hiding at home!" You've done this without a lot of effort! ”

The little guy said: "Although you are officials, you harass a good family like this, and there are officials who control you!" When I don't dare? Wait here, and I'll go to the government!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the alley quickly.

Liu Jian and Jiang Tang looked at each other and smiled, the political hall had made trouble, and even the palace had broken through, and they were still afraid of Kaifeng Mansion?

Watching the little guy get out of the alley, the two still kept banging on the door.

Outside the vertical arch hall, a group of Taiwanese officials were blowing the cold wind, and their mood became more and more anxious, and many people went to Kong Daofu's side to pound the closed temple door together.

The guards guarding the door, where do they dare to provoke these ministers who are hiding from the emperor? Just stood aside and watched coldly, guarding the passage to the death.

I don't know how much time passed, and Li Zhang's figure finally appeared at the gate.

Fan Zhongyan hurriedly greeted him and said in a deep voice: "How?" Is there an edict? ”

Li Zhang raised his hand and said: "The official edict, please come to the political affairs hall, and the prime minister will talk to everyone!" ”

This edict was addressed to Prime Minister Lu Yijian, and Li Zhang didn't know the contents of it.

Fan Zhongyan also felt that such a stalemate was not a solution, and said loudly: "There is an edict, let us go to the political affairs hall, and the prime minister will reason with us." Let's go back to the political hall and listen to what Lu Xianggong has to say! ”

After speaking, he took his subordinates and officials to return to the political hall first.

At this time, the night was dark, and the palace door would not be opened easily, and most of the people already understood in their hearts that the emperor would not see everyone today. Seeing that the matter was pushed back to the prime minister, they had to rush back to the political hall with Fan Zhongyan.

The palace gate was not opened anyway, and there was no point in calling Xu Ping at this time, and some officials who were close to Duan Shaolian and a few people hurriedly returned to the front official office and ordered a small official to call the three of them back.

Everyone poured back into the political hall, and Lu Yijian, who was sitting alone inside, already felt a headache, and when he received the edict in Li Zhang's hand, he saw that he wanted to explain to everyone why he abolished the queen, and he felt more and more helpless. This is obviously because the emperor doesn't want to face the Taiwanese officials, so he kicks this trouble to himself again.

Many specific things in the palace cannot be said in the edict, such as the queen is jealous, for example, she even beat the emperor by mistake, these cannot be told to the world, and can only be discussed privately by the ministers. If you tell the world clearly, it will completely destroy Queen Guo, and even her mother's family will be implicated. And although the emperor was momentarily angry and determined to abolish the queen, he didn't hate her so much in his heart. Zhao Zhen is like this, when his temper is hard, he will be soft-hearted, but when he is soft-hearted, he often loses his temper, this temperament is elusive.

The question is that if the emperor thinks that these reasons can convince Taiwan, then why not let them enter the palace and say it himself? Pushing the matter on Lu Yijian, it is clear that he feels that these reasons are not enough to shut up Taiji. (To be continued.) )
