Chapter 26 Your Majesty, let the minister go home and beat the child!
"Ah!" Wang Yufeng suddenly howled, opened his mouth, and spit out his bleeding tongue.
Dong Hua looked frightened, and continued to touch Wang Yufeng's neck with the cold light on his tongue.
Zhao Cheng took the opportunity to rush forward and snatch Dong Hua back.
However, Wang Yufeng slowly knelt down, covered his neck with his hands, and blood kept pouring out of his mouth.
Gradually he fell into a pool of blood.
Dong Hua threw herself into Zhao Cheng's arms, her body trembling violently.
Feeling the smell of blood in his mouth, Dong Hua felt sick and spit out the blade that was still stained with blood.
Zhao Cheng patted Dong Hua's back comfortingly and glanced at Wang Yufeng.
"You brought this on yourself... You said it was not good for you to forcefully kiss someone? You have to kiss a woman with a sharp tongue... She deserves it!"
Looking at the blade on the ground, Zhao Wu and others reacted.
At first, when they heard Zhao Cheng say "It's over", they thought Zhao Cheng was worried about Dong Hua.
It turned out that he was overthinking, and Zhao Cheng had already predicted Wang Yufeng's outcome.
But Zhao Cheng didn't expect that Dong Hua would make a last-ditch attack...
I originally thought that Wang Yufeng would only lose his tongue, but he didn't expect that he would also lose his life.
When the Yanchuan officials who came after hearing the news saw this scene, they were shocked and stuttered: "This...this, this, this..."
…
Western Capital, Imperial Palace.
Tianze Hall.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, and all the civil and military officials stood at attention.
At the bottom of the steps, Zhao Huan, who was wearing purple court clothes, half-squinted his eyes, put one hand on his jade belt, and was swaying, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
After leading an army of 150,000 people and returning in triumph, the emperor and hundreds of officials greeted him at the city gate. He was almost led back to the palace hand in hand by the emperor to the Tianze Palace. The officials looked at Zhao Huan with different eyes, and some made speculations.
Some of the emperor's deeper thoughts thought that Zhao Huan might be favored again.
Zhao Huan himself had an indifferent attitude. His long hair was draped casually, some on the shoulders, some in curls, with a lot of silver strands mixed in, making him look listless.
"Right Prime Minister, I see that you have a lot of white hair on your head. It's really hard on you to take Night Pill this time!"
"I'm not bitter." Zhao Huan seemed to be unable to open his eyes. He squinted at the emperor and said expressionlessly: "I am already fifty, and I have reached the age where I know my destiny. I should have had gray hair long ago.
.”
"Listen, listen!"
Emperor Yuan Xiu stood up, put one hand behind his back, pointed at the ministers and said: "The right prime minister is fifty years old, and you useless things still have to rely on his old man to guard the country! Isn't it shameful? Isn't it embarrassing?!
!”
"Your Majesty, calm down!" All officials knelt on the ground.
Zhao Huan turned sideways and looked towards the generals, and immediately more than half of the generals lowered their heads.
Zhao Huan said: "You guys have to work harder... I'm old and I really can't fight anymore!"
"Huh? Isn't this General Wang? You're here too." Zhao Huan opened his eyes a little when he saw Wang Ren standing at the front.
Wang Ren clasped his fists and said: "I have been greatly gracioused by the Holy Spirit to allow you to come to the Central Army to exert your remaining energy!"
"Okay, okay..." Zhao Huan held Wang Ren's hand affectionately and said, "General Wang is a handsome man. I will count on you when I retire."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
"Right Prime Minister, you have made such a great contribution this time, which makes me very embarrassed!" Yuan Xiu walked down the steps and said with a half-smile: "You have reached the first rank of officialdom, and you have no title. How about you say it yourself?"
Say, whatever you want, I will give it to you!"
Zhao Huan waved his hand and said: "I don't want anything. I just haven't spanked my child for a while. Your Majesty will ask me to go home and spank my child as soon as possible so that I can enjoy family happiness."
"Hahaha, the right prime minister's happiness is so unique!" Yuan Xiu turned sideways, and looked at each other with Wen Tai after turning around.
Wen Tai came out without any greetings and asked straight to the point: "Right Prime Minister, the Minister of War of the Eastern Capital, what do you think?"
Zhao Huan didn't even turn around and said, "I don't know him."
Wen Tai said: "Your Majesty, don't you think about it anymore?"
"How can I lie about what I said in front of the emperor?" Zhao Huan closed his eyes and put his hands into his sleeves: "If you don't know me, you don't know me."
"You are lying, Prime Minister!" Wang Ren jumped out and said loudly: "Chen Yuxian, the Minister of War in the Eastern Capital, and you, Prime Minister, are sworn friends!"
Zhao Huan's expression did not change, he turned back to look at Wang Ren and said, "I do not know him, but I would like to ask, what happened to this person?"
Wang Ren said: "He is a spy from the Southern Zhou Dynasty!"
"Oh, I understand, you are saying that someone is slandering me as a traitor to the enemy and the country?"
Wen Tai took a step closer to Zhao Huan and said softly: "Teacher, please come up with evidence to prove that you have been slandered."
"What evidence do I have?"
Wang Ren sneered and said: "Then the right minister has admitted it?"
Wen Tai winked at the officials, and several officials immediately stood up.
"Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a serious crime! Although the right prime minister has made meritorious deeds, his merits are not worth it!"
"The one you are attacking is Ye Dan, and the one you are befriending is Nan Zhou. He has ulterior motives!"
"Right Prime Minister, you must give an explanation!"
"Right Prime Minister..."
"Sigh... Is it because I'm old or you are deaf? I've already told you that I don't know him. If you don't believe it, then go investigate. Either go to Yanchuan to arrest him and interrogate him, or torture me severely.
Okay, let's all act quickly, why bother fighting in front of the emperor?"
With that said, Zhao Huan leaned his back against the pillar, sat down on the spot, took a long breath and said: "Your Majesty, I am really tired, please forgive me for the crime of misconduct."
"Come here, give me a seat!" Yuan Xiu shouted immediately.
"Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate?" Zhao Huancheng was frightened.
No matter how hard Wen Tai and Wang Ren pushed Zhao Huan, Yuan Xiu always smiled at him and took the initiative to help him: "The right minister deserves the most credit. You are tired and tired, so you should have a seat!"
After the chair was delivered, as soon as Zhao Huan sat down, eunuch Lu Lu hurriedly came to Yuan Xiu's ear.
"What???"
Yuan Xiu immediately glanced at Wang Ren.
Suddenly being stared at by the emperor, Wang Ren trembled in his heart.
"General Wang..."
Wang Ren immediately knelt down, cupped his fists and said, "I'm here!"
Yuan Xiu asked doubtfully: "You haven't received any news?"
Monk Wang Renzhang was confused and glanced at Wen Tai, who immediately avoided his gaze.
He shook his head and said: "No!"
Yuan Xiu coughed slightly and said, "Yancuan sent an urgent report."
Zhao Huan opened his eyes a little and pricked up his ears.
Yuan Xiu looked at Wang Ren, but said to Lu Lu: "As for you."
"yes……"
Lu Lu hunched his back and said: "This urgent report says that last night... Zhao Cheng, the son of the Right Prime Minister, and Wang Yufeng, the son of General Wang, had a armed conflict, resulting in many casualties. Wang Yufeng and... Chen Yuxian, the Minister of War, were unfortunately killed."
boom!
Wang Renru was struck by an electric shock, and he who was originally kneeling suddenly collapsed to the side.
This this……
what's the situation?
Wasn't my son just awarded the title of General Zhaoyong?
A great future was waiting for him, why was it suddenly gone??
Wang Ren looked at Zhao Huan with red eyes and said angrily: "Right Prime Minister! What did your son Zhao Cheng do?!"
"I'll beat him to death when I get back." Zhao Huan said in a calm tone: "But I haven't been home for a long time, what do I know?"
This tone is very similar... We are just honest people, what bad intentions can we have?
Emperor Yuan Xiu rolled his eyes and said, "Did you miss something?"
"Not only Wang Yufeng died, but also Chen Yuxian, the Minister of War. This person...is the Southern Zhou spy you just mentioned, right?"
Yuan Xiu asked: "Lü Lu, did the emergency report provide a detailed explanation of the cause of death?"
Lu Lu said: "It is said that Chen Yuxian and Wang Yufeng were in the same group. Chen Yuxian was killed by the soldiers of the Youxiang Mansion in order to help Wang Yufeng."
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials were stunned!
Wen Tai frowned.
Yuan Xiu laughed out loud, raised his hands and said, "Didn't you say that Chen Yuxian and You Xiang had a close relationship? How come he was killed by You Xiang's son??"
