The grand Shuo Ri Dynasty Meeting came to an abrupt end. Civil and military officials were in mixed moods, and more people were at a loss as to what to do.

The matter was obviously unresolved, but when the always diligent Emperor Kaiping suddenly gave up, no one dared to cause trouble at this time. Even the censors at all levels in the censorship station were surprisingly silent. These Qingliu civil servants knew clearly.

, if we forcibly advise His Majesty the Emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly, I am afraid that at the very least, he will be dismissed from office and then given fifty imperial staffs.

It would be nothing more than admonishing His Majesty for his own mistakes, and at least he could leave a mark in history. However, there are countless life-threatening secrets in this matter, and most of them will just be covered up by the Spring and Autumn Period.

The ministers slowly exited the Chengtian Palace. Suddenly, the internal eunuch Douzhi came to announce the decree, calling the two palace ministers and four adult princes into the imperial study. What made others jealous was that Pei Yue's name was also included in the list.

.

Although they were quite envious of Pei Yue's holy family, these people did not slow down at all, because today's incident was obviously a big fire pit, and no one wanted to be involved.

The important ministers of the two governments were in front, the princes were behind, and Pei Yue took the initiative to stay at the back of the team.

Suddenly, a group of people walked into the imperial study room.

Emperor Kaiping looked solemn, but fortunately he was not as angry as some ordinary ministers expected.

He ordered the eunuch to give seats to the four important ministers. Although the princes had noble status, they were obviously only allowed to stand here. After everyone confessed their sins and sat down, Emperor Kaiping looked at Pei Yue, who was standing alone in the distance, and pointed at him.

He said to the eunuch: "Bring a stool to Marquis Zhongshan."

Pei Yue cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I just need to stand."

Emperor Kaiping said in a deep voice: "You are the master of suffering. The Heavenly Family can't help you in this matter. I have to clean up the mess for some people."

Pei Yue subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the other party, and saw that His Majesty the Emperor's whole body was as cold as frost. The gentleness and looseness of a few days ago had long disappeared, and he had once again turned into the cold-blooded king who was determined to kill and treat everyone as pawns.

He knew the reason for this change very well, so he did not refuse anymore and bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping did not look at the four princes standing in a row next to him, and said to the two important ministers: "They all say that family scandals should not be made public, but today I have lost all my face. My brothers are ruthless and murderous. All this is done by my son.

It's a good thing. My dear friends, I failed to discipline these rebellious children, and I really feel ashamed of my ancestors."

Mo Haoli shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. What does this matter have to do with Your Majesty? It was clearly instigated by those villains with sinister intentions, so that the two Highnesses were not aware of their mistakes. Your Majesty is diligent in governing the country day and night.

, Daliang has been able to achieve national prosperity far exceeding that of Wu and Zhou Dynasty, there are many talented people in the court, and the border is stable and worry-free. This is all due to your majesty, and it is really not a word of shame."

Wang Pingzhang also said: "Your Majesty, the battle of Xiwu cost more than half of the country's strength, and within ten years there will be no more courage to start a national war. The Southern Zhou Dynasty is shrinking in a corner, and the only people it relies on are the difficulties and dangers of the sky. It can be defeated by crossing the river with all your strength.

.If it weren’t for Your Majesty’s wisdom and martial prowess, how would I have the chance to see the prosperous age of unification of the world?”

These two important figures were partly comforting and partly flattering, which made Emperor Kaiping feel quite comfortable.

Although Luo Ting and Gu Liang did not speak in agreement, they did not jump out to sing the opposite at this time.

Emperor Kaiping nodded slightly, turned to look at the four princes, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xian."

The eldest prince responded: "My son is here."

Emperor Kaiping looked at his calm appearance and softened his tone slightly: "Did you send anyone to assassinate Pei Yue and the legitimate daughter of Dingguo Mansion?"

The eldest prince remembered Concubine Wu's advice and shook his head: "Back to my father, I never ordered Ning Fengzhi to lead people to assassinate Pei Yue. At that time, he said that it was Pingyang who ordered the matter. I couldn't bear the infamy and heavy punishment that Pingyang had to bear."

, and took over the matter."

Emperor Kaiping said calmly: "Why don't you accept it now?"

The eldest prince replied: "Father, after thinking about it over and over these days, I discovered that Ning Fengzhi had a flaw. If he had no evil intentions, why didn't he tell me about this from the beginning to the end? There is a rift between my son and Pei Yue.

It’s true, Pingyang did have a conflict with Pei Yue, but Ning Fengzhi should have at least sought the consent of his ministers in advance. Therefore, his ministers guessed that he was instigated by others.”

Emperor Kaiping was silent for a moment, then looked at the second prince and said, "Did you let Qian Yong hook up with Ning Fengzhi and frame Liu Xian?"

The second prince said angrily and aggrievedly: "Father, if I have this intention, I will be punished by heaven and earth! I kindly ask my father to send Mr. Shen of Taishitai Pavilion to investigate this matter thoroughly and restore my innocence!"

Emperor Kaiping said indifferently: "There is no need to check."

Everyone was shocked, and the second prince felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Emperor Kaiping continued: "Since others dare to plot against you, how can they not be fully prepared? If you go to investigate Qian Yong now, it will only bring more evidence pointing to you, and completely confirm your accusation of framing Liu Xian.

.By then you won’t even be able to become a general in charge of the country, and the most I can do is spare your life.”

The second prince was stunned, with a look of confusion on his face.

The eldest prince vaguely understood and looked at the two brothers on the other side with complicated eyes.

Emperor Kaiping looked at the fourth prince with a gloomy look and said coldly: "I have given you many opportunities, why do you never know how to cherish them?"

The fourth prince shook his head and said: "Father, I don't understand what I mean by this."

Emperor Kaiping sneered and said: "Pei Yue!"

Pei Yue met the eyes of everyone looking over and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am already in the palace."

"Bring it in!"

"I obey the decree."

After about a stick of incense had passed, Pei Yue personally escorted a middle-aged man into the imperial study.

When the eldest prince saw this person, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Ning Fengzhi!"

If Emperor Kaiping hadn't been right next to him, he would have definitely rushed forward and beaten up the counselor who betrayed him.

The fourth prince's expression looked extremely subtle at this moment.

When Pei Yue stood up and left, he seemed to have guessed the next development, and a faint smile appeared on his face involuntarily. When Pei Yue appeared with Ning Fengzhi, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

The feeling became stronger and stronger, and then he actually laughed out loud in the imperial study room.

He smiled and sighed: "That's it, that's it."

The second prince and the sixth prince subconsciously distanced themselves from him. Wang Pingzhang and Gu Liang cast their cold and stern eyes on him. At this moment, it was the eldest prince who took the initiative to stand between him and Emperor Kaiping.

Ning Fengzhi looked gloomy and said nothing.

Emperor Kaiping looked at the fourth prince and said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

The fourth prince faced Pei Yue and said with a self-deprecating look on his face: "That day in the bamboo house, you tried every means to get me to agree to find Ning Fengzhi's family for you, so you hid him nearby.

This is to break his defense, right? As long as I refuse to let go, Ning Fengzhi will never dare to betray me, but it is precisely because I let go that he will tell you the truth."

He paused and said with complicated eyes: "Pei Yue, your calculation ability is really amazing."
