Now that the teacher asked him to take care of his senior brother, Xu Youzhen didn't refuse so much.After all, the more allies, the better.

Your own time is coming.

Somewhere in the palace, the emperor solemnly worshiped the statue of Sanqing.

After the ceremony, the emperor said, "Longshan, go get another Longli Pill."

"Your Majesty, do you really want to take it again? It will crazily erode your lifespan!"

"I've made up my mind! How many days can I last at most after taking it?" The emperor's eyes were firm.

"Only three days..." the hoarse voice said slowly.

"Three days is enough! I won't let restless forces see a dying emperor!"

"All right……"

Chaoyang Gate.

The vassal kings from all over the country, the special envoys of the surrounding vassal states, and their business groups entered in a steady and orderly manner.

The leading feudal lord and the envoys had ear-to-ear conversations from time to time, as if they had reached some kind of tacit agreement.

But when they arrived at the gate of the main hall and saw a group of imperial city guards fully dressed and holding weapons, they all stopped in place unconsciously.

These are the imperial city guards who massacred Ning Wang's guards in the street today, dragged Ning Wang's son into prison and tortured them.

King Wu, King Chu, and King Qin looked at each other and nodded silently.

Come here today, they have united with envoys from all over the world, and are preparing for a grand drama of coercion!

After calling Long Live three times, all factions took their seats one after another.

The emperor on the throne of the Dragon Throne looks extraordinarily energetic today, with a stately appearance.

He got up and scanned the people in the hall with torch-like eyes: "My dear friends, today is the day of the state banquet, and I should celebrate with the kings and special envoys of all countries."

He also raised the wine glass in his hand: "Come, let us drink this glass together!"

Everyone below also stood up and toasted, shouting long live.

Everyone sat down again, only King Wu was still standing there.

"Your majesty is wise, but there is probably one person missing in the main hall, how can we say it is a celebration?"

The emperor looked at the King Wu below with reminiscence, and you still jumped out.

When the civil and military officials heard King Wu's words, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at King Wu in front of them, let alone the emperor who was above him.

But the envoys of the vassal state whispered to each other, with a look of gloating on their faces, waiting for the good show to take place.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a red official robe walked out of the banquet.

He first bowed respectfully to the emperor, and then said: "Dare to ask King Wu, are you talking about King Ning? Your Majesty understands that King Ning cannot attend the banquet, and has already ordered people to deliver the meal. "

King Wu sneered, and threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground: "Bold! You Xu Youzhen! This king is talking to the Holy One! How can it be your turn to interrupt!"

"King Wu, today is a state banquet, and what we are talking about is state affairs. Besides, in the whole world, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, are the ministers of the king. In this way, the king of Wu is saying that he is not the same as King Ning. A servant of the Holy Majesty?"

"You! You..." King Wu was stunned speechless.

Born in the Imperial Academy, and also a cabinet scholar, he can't fight in martial arts, but Xu Youzhen has always been a good fighter in Wendou, citing classics and can speak eloquently.Export can become dirty (chapter).

To sum it up in one sentence, if someone scolded your ancestors for eighteen generations, you have to go home and check the books to find out that Xu Youzhen was scolding me just now!

When King Chu and King Qin saw King Wu's face flushed with anger, they didn't wait any longer and showed their "knives" directly.

"My lord! I implore Xu Xin, the Commander of the Imperial City Guard, to be executed!"

"My lord, Xu Xin committed a rebellion, offended the royal family in front of people all over the street, and ignored the majesty of the royal family! If this son is not eradicated in time, he will become a serious disaster for the court!"

"Your Majesty, please give me some justice, otherwise, there will be no vassal king who would dare to make a pilgrimage to Beijing in the future!"

The three vassal kings wept loudly, took out their handkerchiefs and wiped their eyes, and denounced Xu Xin's various evil deeds.

The emperor didn't speak for a long time but just watched their performance quietly.

When the three feudal kings realized that they were the only ones crying in the hall, they all stopped and looked up at the emperor in embarrassment.

Seeing them raising their heads, the emperor suddenly smiled: "Have you cried enough? You guys still have the face to tell me about the laws of the country and insult the majesty of the royal family? Well, if that's the case, come, Xu Xin, the commander of Xuanhuang City Guards!" See you!"

Not long after, I saw Xu Xin, dressed in the uniform of the Imperial City Guard Commander, strutting into the hall.

Everyone in the main hall stared at the handsome and radiant Xu Xin.

Even the emperor turned his anger into joy when he saw him, and smiled.

"Xu Xin, Commander of the Imperial City Guard, see Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me! Xu Xin, the kings say that you despise the king's law and disregard the majesty of the royal family. Please tell me in detail." The emperor glanced at King Wu and the others, and said slowly.

Chapter 56 Destroying the Counterattack Xu Xin stood in the center of the hall, looked at King Wu, King Chu, and King Qin coldly, and smiled disdainfully.

The emperor replied indifferently: "Xu Xin, I just heard that what you did today has insulted the dignity of my royal family. If it is true, I will definitely punish you severely! However, I think you have made meritorious service for me many times, so I will give you a chance to defend yourself Bar."

As soon as Xu Xin heard it, he knew what the emperor meant.

It's not because I'm afraid that I will cause trouble in the hall, but because I'm afraid that I won't cause trouble!I understand.

Immediately, Xu Xin immediately produced a fresh confession.

The above records are all the crimes committed by Prince Ning's son in the capital recently.

In the eyes of the rich and powerful, this crime is nothing more than an ordinary thing, but they cannot clearly say that they have done it.

On the surface, they are all upright gentlemen, benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and trustworthy, gentle, courteous, thrifty, loyal, filial, brave, respectful and honest.

But what he did behind his back was already inhuman.

Every time Xu Xin recited a crime, it was like tearing off a layer of camouflage, ripping off their ugliness and hypocrisy.

After finishing reading, he took a meaningful look at Wu Wang and the others.

"My lord, I still have something to report!" Xu Xin pulled out a secret report from his cuff.

"Read it!" The emperor cheered up.

"Zhu Ze, the king of Wu, has the first charge: privately printing millions of precious banknotes in his vassal territory, and then forcibly exchanging the precious banknotes for the people's silver taels, causing inflation. Only tens of thousands of taels of precious banknotes can be exchanged for a bean and rice. Complaints abound, the people live in dire straits, and countless people starve to death. Such actions have led to small-scale rebellions in many places!"

"Crime [-]: Under the guise of suppression, committing corruption. According to reports from the Imperial City Guard, none of the food and grass he declared was actually used."

"Crime [-]: Renovating and repairing the palace privately, imitating the palace style, and often wearing five-clawed golden dragon costumes, which is suspected to be arrogance."

…………

"I dare to ask King Wu, whether what you have done has insulted the majesty of the royal family and violated the laws of the country?" Xu Xin shook the secret letter in his hand and looked at the sweaty King Wu.

"You! You are slandering the royal people! You are disrespectful!"

After all, King Wu wanted to snatch the secret letter from Xu Xin.

"The officer on duty in your army is now in my prison, and I will bring back all the masons and bricklayers who helped you build the palace. If you want a secret letter, I will give it to you." Xu Xin was also generous, and directly sent the letter It was stuffed into the hands of the flustered King Wu.

The emperor looked at the funny scene in the palace, his expression was ugly.

When Xu Xin was asked to go to the palace to confront Wu Wang and others, he was already prepared.

But I didn't expect that after Xu Xin's operation, the crimes unearthed were really innumerable.

Any one of the crimes is enough for him to abolish King Wu.

"It's all fake! It's all fake!"

Xu Xin also stopped paying attention to the mumbling King Wu, and took out another secret report as if juggling, shook it to look at King Qin and said, "Did you say it yourself or should I say it for you?"

King Qin didn't know whether Xu Xin's secret report was true or false, so he decided to take a gamble.

"Go ahead and make it up, this king is loyal and patriotic! There is no crime at all!"

Xu Xin looked at it and could only Yaoyao nodded, and said softly: "Then you stand up, old man!"

"Qin King Zhu Jun! Charge [-]: Violating the Taizu system, recruiting [-] guards in the vassal land, practicing day and night; and building workshops underground to forge weapons with the intention of plotting rebellion!"

"Crime [-]: On the pretext of editing books throughout the country, secretly recruiting counselors from all over the country in an attempt to overthrow the imperial court!"

"Crime [-]: Using living people as targets to carry out drills, the behavior is simply insane!"

……

Before Xu Xin could finish reading, King Qin had passed out.

After being impassioned, Xu Xin felt a little hot, and was thinking of taking out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket to wipe his sweat. When the King of Chu saw him put his hand into his sleeve, his face turned pale with fright, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My lord, old minister! Guilty, old Chen is guilty..."

The emperor looked at everything in front of him, his face was ashen.

Xu Xin knew that the emperor was weak and sick all the year round, so after collecting the news, he didn't dare to announce it all.

After discussing with Yuhuatian, the governor of the Dongchang factory, Xu Youzhen of the cabinet, and Daoyan, it was decided to select a part to publish.

What I was afraid of was that the emperor would be so angry that he would kill everyone on the spot.

From Xu Xin's point of view, how could the current emperor not know what the vassal king did in private.It's just that I thought of my loved ones and chose to tolerate it.

But it didn't get the gratitude of the vassal kings, on the contrary, it got worse!He also conspired to join forces with foreign envoys to force the palace together.

It's a pity that the only thing they have is the status and rights given to them by the emperor.

Once their rights are taken back, the feudal lords are nothing.

They far underestimated the courage of the emperor.

They never imagined that the emperor not only had a strong attitude, but also dared to reveal their ugly side in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the foreigners from all over the world, and announced their crimes to the public, so that everyone in the world would know.

The anger that had been pent up for many years finally vented at this moment!

After the emperor took Longli Pill, he knew that the time left was short.Everything he did was to leave a stable situation for the prince.For this reason, he had to expose his family ugliness!

Only in this way can we win the hearts of the people of the world and the scholars of Qingliu.

Now is the time to punish them for the world to see.

"King Ning, King Qin, King Wu, and King Chu! They have no laws of the country and are insulting to the majesty of the royal family. They should be executed according to the law! But I think you are the blood of the royal family, and the prince will need your assistance in the future."

"Now the salary is fined for five years, and the titles are downgraded by one level! In addition, I meditate on my own past in the Taimiao, and copy the ancestral instructions every day! I will let the county guards handle the affairs of the feudal land for you... Now give I'll go to Taimiao!" The emperor ordered sternly.

The kings of Chu and Wu who were kneeling on the ground looked at the emperor in horror.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's punishment would be so severe.

Taking over the vassal state, downgrading to the county king, and imprisoning himself is tantamount to cutting the vassal.

They looked tremblingly at the foreign envoys at the banquet, hoping that the "allies" who had sworn in at the beginning would now come forward to help intercede.

Unexpectedly, all the people drank wine as if they hadn't seen them, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

"I just said that the barbarians are untrustworthy! You still want to drag them into your gang! You idiot! How can I have such a brother!" King Chu scolded King Wu beside him in a low voice.

In order to threaten the imperial palace today, they and Fanbang have been preparing for a long time.

Not to mention asking Anzi to disguise himself as a villager in Xiaolizhuang to inquire about the deployment of troops in the Fengtai camp, nor to trick Yan Shisan into assassinating the Duke of Zhen after the investigation failed.

Today, according to the agreement, as long as I come out to fight for the vassal king, the envoys of Fanbang will attack together, threatening to send troops, so that I can regain the power and troops of the Taizu period.

At that time, when the young emperor ascended the throne, it is also possible to raise troops under the banner of "the Qing emperor's side" and sit on the dragon chair.

Well, barbarians are barbarians, they don't pay attention to credit, no matter how much gold, silver and jewels are given, they will still break the covenant.

Successive failures hit the vassals in the palace deeply, and they could only beg the emperor for mercy.

"Your Majesty! It's all the idea of ​​the damned King of Qin! I will reflect on myself when I am found guilty..."

"That's right! It's all the fault of the King of Qin! I beg the emperor to let us go back to the fief and reflect on it!..."

The emperor looked at the two blood relatives of His Royal Highness, and suddenly smiled and said: "The following is my order, for the sake of the majesty of the royal family, it cannot be changed at will..."

When Wu Wang and Chu Wang heard the emperor's words, they both fell silent and passed out together.

Chapter 57 Eyeing on the Prince In fact, long before the state banquet, Xu Youzhen met with the foreign envoys in secret and gave them an irresistible promise.

Open the border crossings and allow them to trade with each other.

Allow them to exchange their original sheepskin, meat and other items for daily needs of tea, rice, oil, salt, and even porcelain and silk.

According to Xu Youzhen's own calculation.
