Everyone in Tingwei's prison can no longer be as calm as before.

Whether it's Cao Shen or Zhou Bo.

At this moment they all started to panic.

They are not afraid of Liu Ying because they know what Liu Ying is like. They are afraid of Liu Chang because they know what Liu Chang is like.

Cao Shen said to the ministers: "In the Tang Dynasty, Peng Yue's old tribe, Han Xin's old tribe, and Yingbu's old tribe commanded the army. These people had followed their masters in rebellion, so they hated the temple. Zhang Cang is unruly and lawless.

He has no loyalty to the emperor. Since he went to the Tang Dynasty, he has set up his own laws to tyrannize the Qin Dynasty, despised the government orders, and followed the example of his two senior brothers to govern the Tang Dynasty without being like their teachers!"

"Thirty percent of the people of the Tang Kingdom were bandits who were unwilling to surrender to the Han Dynasty and therefore hid in the mountains; another thirty percent were criminals who followed Chen Xi to rebel and fled to the Tang Kingdom for fear of being punished; and the third tenth were criminals who escaped from the Huns outside the Great Wall.

The 90% of the Hu people who came to join the Tang Dynasty do not know the king's laws. They only know that there is a Tang Dynasty but not the Han Dynasty!!"

"My husband, the king of the Tang Kingdom, was cruel and rude. He followed Han Xin to practice the art of war. Han Xin's rebellious spirit never died!"

Hearing Cao Shen's words, Zhou Bo felt horrified. This was a country built on rebellion. From their king to the prime minister, to the generals, and to more than 90% of the people, everyone was a traitor to his mother! It can be said that

, everyone in the Tang Dynasty rebelled against thieves, even if they imitated Bai Qi and deceived him with 400,000 people, it is estimated that not one of them would be unjustly accused!

Zhou Bo took a deep breath and said: "The Tang Dynasty went against the laws of the Han Dynasty, implemented military skills, and was warlike. Its people also fought outside the Great Wall for a long time, or occupied the mountains and became bandits. They also rebelled and fought against the Northern Army.

, so he is cruel by nature and cannot be matched by the people of the Central Plains."

"And those generals are by no means good people, especially the generals under Yingbu. They often say to the left and right: The king of Tang is very like Bu."

"They are all generals who have fought against Xiang Yu. It is not easy to defeat them."

"What's more, the Tang State occupies the power of mountains and rivers, overlooking Chang'an, and the Tang State's army can break through Hedong and reach Chang'an City in three days."

Hearing what the two said, other ministers were immediately frightened and asked hurriedly: "Is the King of Tang really planning to rebel?!?"

In fact, the King of Tang has gradually become the biggest hidden danger in the minds of the ministers over the years. There is no way, the King of Tang is really not a good person, and his country is full of rebels. I am afraid that one day his brain will get hot and he will think about it.

The emperor's addiction brought people to Chang'an.

But Cao Shen was not afraid. He reassured the officials that although the King of Tang was stubborn, he was very close to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, so he would not rebel.

But now, His Majesty personally ordered the Tang army to enter Chang'an.

Cao Shen said with a dark face, "We must not let the Tang army enter the city..."

Zhou Bo pondered for a moment and then added: "I have received many memorials to impeach Tang soldiers over the years."

"The Tang soldiers were very arrogant. They once robbed three war horses from the Zhao garrison. Six Tang soldiers severely wounded a Zhao general. The Tang general led his men and rushed all the way to the Zhao school. They openly

When they entered the Zhao Kingdom, there was no grass in the place they passed. Finally, they demolished the armor, weapons, and even the school grounds of the Zhao soldiers and moved them back to the Tang Kingdom..."

"Therefore, I ordered Zhang Cang to punish this matter severely... However, Zhang Cang said that the soldiers of Zhao State had rushed to the horse first and refused to comply. The King of Tang even sent people to threaten him, saying that he would attack Handan with a large army. King Zhao finally wrote a letter to

King Tang, this matter has just ended."

"If such an army enters Chang'an..." Zhou Bo knocked on the fence in front of him and said, "They will probably tear down this fence and take it back to the Tang Dynasty..."

"Is this a Tang army or a bandit?!"

One of the ministers shouted in astonishment.

Cao Shen couldn't bear it anymore and said: "No, no, we have to see Your Majesty. This is a matter within the temple. We did something wrong. Your Majesty can punish us in any way, even if it means killing me.

We must not allow the Tang king to cause chaos in the capital! If a foreign king enters the city, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of the temple. From then on, the foreign king will follow the example of the Tang king and no longer respect the temple. Once there is a change, we will be embarrassed to face it again.

The late emperor!"

He yelled at the jailer again.

However, the jailers still ignored him, and after a few hours, they came to pick up Xuanyi.

........

Xuanyi does not belong to any school of thought, but his style is very similar to Legalism.

He governed the law strictly and only obeyed the emperor. He would dare to investigate anything under Liu Ying's orders. If Liu Ying had been more courageous, he would have dared to arrest anyone.

When Liu Bang captured Han Xin, no one dared to be rude to Han Xin. Liu Bang directly gave orders to Xuanyi, and Xuanyi directly treated Han Xin as a rebel without fear of getting into any trouble.

At this moment, Xuanyi knelt down in front of Liu Ying, his face as calm as ever. He was not as far ahead as Cao Shen and the others thought. The only thing he cared about was the emperor's order.

Liu Ying pondered and asked: "Xuanyi, do you know your guilt?"

Xuanyi said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am in the court, and someone has reported to me that the King of Tang wants to kill the Marquis of Piyang because of his biological mother."

"I hurriedly led people there, for fear that King Tang would do something wrong."

"After I went there, I found that the King of Tang was not like this. However, the King of Tang had a history of bad deeds, and there was a grudge between the King of Tang and Marquis Piyang. So I ordered the King of Tang to be taken out and sent back to the palace."

"I originally wanted to examine this matter after sending off the Prince of Tang to see who made the false report, but His Majesty was suspicious and arrested me."

Liu Ying stood up angrily and said: "On weekdays, it is because of you that I wrongly blame my eldest brother many times!"

Xuanyi continued: "Others and ministers don't know it, but none of the faults that I impeached the king of Tang were wrong."

Liu Ying was speechless for a moment, and then said angrily: "As a court official, domestic ministers have deceived me several times, but you didn't tell me. Isn't this a crime?!"

Xuanyi added: "I have made a memorial. Just before, I impeached Cao Shen for beating an angel, and he should be punished. Your Majesty did not reply. Before that, I impeached Zhou Bo for hiding armor, and impeached the imperial servant Cheng for seizing a daughter of the people.

, I deceived the superiors and subordinates to impeach the internal affairs minister, and repeatedly requested your majesty to order me to arrest him, but your majesty always refused and did not let me arrest the person."

"His Majesty once said that I framed my colleagues, which made me reflect."

"Forehead..."

For a moment, Liu Ying was speechless. Xuanyi did indeed say these things, but when Liu Ying called those people to discuss, the ministers stated their grievances and presented evidence to say that they had not

After doing these things, some people impeached Xuanyi for constantly slandering his colleagues for merit...

Liu Ying suddenly felt a little ashamed. He quickly stood up and helped Xuanyi up.

"Mr. Xuan... I was wrong before. I didn't listen to your advice. I actually believed those traitors!"

Xuanyi said seriously: "It's my fault that I failed to convince your Majesty. It's my fault, not your Majesty's. It's just that I'm not good at eloquence and don't know how to persuade."

"Sigh... No wonder you are always targeted by the ministers... I only understand now."

"Xuan Gong! I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly and not let a guilty person go!"

"Your Majesty wants me to investigate this matter strictly?"

Xuanyi asked again.

Liu Ying nodded and waved her hand, "Strict investigation!"

"only!!"

Xuanyi turned around and left. Liu Ying suddenly felt a little relieved. It turned out that among the ministers, there was still a trustworthy minister.

After a long time, Liu Chang walked into the Xuanshi Hall. Just as he was about to speak, he looked around and asked, "Huh? Where is Xuanyi? Wasn't he released?"

Liu Ying smiled and said: "I have asked him to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Liu Chang jumped up immediately, "My mother!! Brother?! You don't usually use Xuanyi, why do you use him at this time?! Don't you know what kind of person he is?!"

Liu Ying asked with some confusion: "He is an upright man, why can't we use him?"

Liu Chang slapped his forehead suddenly, "It's over! It's over! How many of these ministers can survive if they fall into Xuanyi's hands? Are you planning to re-establish a hundred officials?! Second brother, issue an edict quickly.

Ask Xuanyi to stop, we are forcing Cao Shen and others to come to plead guilty to you, we are not trying to kill them all!!!"

After saying that, Liu Chang rushed out suddenly. Liu Ying's face changed drastically and she hurriedly called the attendant.

"Luan Bu! Luan Bu! Drive! Rush! Tingwei's prison!!"

When Luan Bu saw the king like this, he also knew that the matter was urgent. Ji Bu didn't say anything, and everyone hurriedly rushed towards Tingwei's prison.

When Liu Chang jumped off the carriage and rushed into Tingwei, Cao Shen was delivering his last words.

Well, that's right, he was giving his last words.

He was tied up with five flowers and pressed to the ground. The soldiers of Tingwei on the side were wiping their knives. They were preparing to behead him!

Xuanyi frowned and stood aside, reading out Cao Shen's charges. Cao Shen had only one crime, which was beating an angel and defying the emperor. According to Xiao He's Han law, this was a serious crime that required beheading.

"Go back and tell His Majesty that you must not let Prince Tang..."

Cao Shen was talking, and when he saw the King of Tang rushing in, his expression became even more sad and angry, and he shouted: "Your Majesty!! Don't let foreign kings enter the capital!! Otherwise, the country of Han Dynasty will be destroyed! You have to think about His Majesty! Think about the Queen Mother!

You must live up to the late emperor’s trust!!!”

Liu Chang was stunned, what are these?

He looked at Xuanyi and said: "Your Majesty has spoken! Don't deal with them yet. Your Majesty wants to see them again!"

Xuanyi said solemnly with a straight face: "I obey the emperor's order to kill traitors. I have to obey the emperor's order."

"cut!"

"Stop! Luan Bu, chop...save him!!"

"Ji Bu, you come too!"

The two masters rushed forward in a hurry. Luan Bu directly blocked the few soldiers in front of him, while Ji Bu protected Cao Shen. Xuanyi frowned and said to the people around him: "Send someone to inform the emperor that Tang

The king protects sinners, what crime should he deserve?"
