Hearing Yan Xi's words, he laughed at himself.The way I am now is exactly the same as when I offended the emperor when I first became an official.

Five years, it feels like going full circle in a maze and back to where we started—even worse than where we started.She only needs to wave her hand lightly, and the strong wind can blow me thousands of miles away.

On that night in June of the fourth year of Tianjia, I clearly understood the reason why Liu Yueying was tempting me.

My self-righteous sincerity is different from what she wants.

Who is Liu Yueying?She is a devil who can see through a person with just a glance. The selfishness of any of the officials in the court is not tightly controlled by her, and she plays with it in her hands.There is nowhere to hide anyone's small thoughts in front of her.

Perhaps before I even realized it, Liu Yueying had sensed that I was avoiding and hiding something, so I kept doubting and probing.

This is self-inflicted.

"Don't worry about my affairs with her, just stay with Xiaozhi properly. There is an impassable gap between me and her." He patted himself on the forehead and continued to smile: "The book should be on Still have to go up, in his position to seek his own government, the responsibility cannot be avoided."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, anyway, you will always be the one who suffers in the end, so you still expect that one will suffer?" Yan Xi snatched several peaches from my table and strode away.

The project on the first line of the Grand Canal did not stop in the end despite my risk of death, and Liu Yueying took my booklet and asked all the high officials in Beijing and China for money in the court hall the next day.I never expected that she would approve my memorial.

I'm afraid she had planned this a long time ago, and she kept silent all this time, just waiting for someone to take advantage of her and just push the boat along.

The Right Prime Minister's proposal was publicly announced by Liu Yueying in the court hall. Many ministers expressed their support for the emperor's despotic power, but it was uncertain how much they could offer.

"As for the donation, let the prime minister take the lead in organizing it." Liu Yueying waved her hand, and this offending matter fell on me again.

Bite the bullet and agreed, and after half a month of raising funds, he personally ran to countless officials' mansions, fighting Tai Chi and fighting wits with a group of people every day.

The imperial examinations are held every three years. The new officials who just entered the official position in Chunwei last year are the best at talking. The further they go, the worse they are, especially those old foxes who are much older than me. .

In the end, the big fiscal deficit was barely made up, and the war really burned money.During the stalemate stage of the war between Daxing and Northern Qiang, you come and go, and small battles happen every day.General Nangong returned to Beijing to plead guilty, and the new military champion on the front line took office, which is not easy.

Everyone focused their attention on Beizhen, and Daxing's troops were basically deployed to the north, so there could be no more mistakes at this time.

The leak in the house happens to rain all night, and the wind hits the head when it is late.

No one expected that Nanman, who had never been a big threat, made a move unexpectedly, and the action quickly hit the two states of Jiangnan County.Fortunately, Jiangnan County has been extremely rich since ancient times, and the local officials responded in time to protect the next state, and half of the other Yingzhou fell into the hands of Nanman.

This incident was even more violent than an earthquake in the court, the whole court exploded, and everyone shouted and shouted so loudly that the roof could be blown off.

Angrily and annoyed, Liu Yueying threw the inkstone down from the high platform, and it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Because Zuo Xiang and I were standing close to each other, our clothes were stained with sporadic ink stains.

There was no sound at the moment when the Jinluan Hall was crushed by the shattered inkstone. The civil servants and military generals all restrained their quarrelsome posture, and stood back to their original positions in an orderly manner.

I saw that the tassels on Liu Yueying's dragon crown were trembling, her face was flushed, and her chest heaved violently, so I knew she was furious.Being so angry can easily hurt the liver.Without leaving traces, she became worried and wanted to appease her, but it was neither the right time nor her position.well.

Liu Yueying only thought for a moment, and then gave General Nangong a chance to make up for his mistakes, and asked him to set off immediately to Jiangnan County, where he organized militiamen to guard against the Nanman's surprise attack.

As for the half of Yingzhou's land that cannot be regained for the time being, the imperial court is really unable to launch a front in the south at the same time. As long as Daxing catches its breath and prevents the Nanman from capturing other lands, it will be considered the best situation.

I know that Liu Yueying has always been afraid of Jiangnan County, and has never organized a large-scale army there, and now it is an expedient measure that has no other choice.The Nangong family has always been loyal, so they should be able to take on this important task.

When I was worrying about her, I didn't know that fate had attacked me again.The thick gears rotate, and there is no gap in the circle. Some things cannot be avoided no matter how many times you reincarnate, in which time and space, and how hard you try.

Seven days later, when Nangong was estimated to have arrived in Jiangnan County, the provincial servant under the door publicly impeached the right minister in the court.

"Your Majesty, I have recently discovered that because of the lack of evidence, I was afraid to slander Prime Minister You's innocence before, but now I have collected clear evidence, which can be said to be evidence." He said loudly, and my eyebrows frowned. Became Sichuan characters.

Recently, I have been busy with the affairs of the Grand Canal and Beiqiang, and have no time to take care of anything else. Even so, people who want to mess with me still have to stop.

"What's the matter?" An unhurried voice floated down from the highest place of the Jinluan Hall.

"Your Majesty, I have conclusive evidence that Prime Minister You's family had an affair with a Nanman man. After a long search, I found out that the man was the Nanman's national teacher."

Bang, my mind was in a mess, my head became dizzy, and everything around me felt like phantoms.I bit my lower lip with my teeth, trying to keep myself rational and not panic, the wat board in my hand was almost deformed by me.

"Really?" "The Right Prime Minister's family had an affair with the Nanman?" "The Nanman took advantage of the emptiness and took half of the land in Yingzhou. Could it be related to this national teacher?" Whispering discussions came to the ears. , reverberating into a loud thunderclap.

Liu Yuehua showed an unbelievable expression in front of her. Both she and the emperor knew about Sha Yu's existence, but they didn't expect that someone would use this to impeach me when I was so sensitive.

"Your Majesty, the right minister has a master in Dongshan. He came to the capital when the right minister's younger sister was married to the chief minister of the cabinet. I received a secret report from the county magistrate of Dongshan County. It is not surprising that he can know the Nanman national teacher."

"According to the county magistrate, every year during the Chinese New Year, a woman with scantily dressed, impolite and very enchanting women will come to Dongshan to live with him for a few months, because many Dongshan residents know about the fortune-telling. So I sent someone to investigate , found out that this person was named Sha Yu. Coincidentally, the surname of the current Nanman country happens to be Sha."

After the waiter finished speaking, the court began to whisper to each other again, and I couldn't even refute it.What he said were all facts, but it would be troublesome to characterize the matter as "fornication". Now that Nanban has become Daxing's enemy, they must have planned extremely meticulously to reveal the matter at this time.

A few days ago, because I went around raising the small coffers of Beijing officials, many people had some opinions on me, and no one spoke for me for a while.

I saw Hu Zhongli, that thief standing there and licked his lips slightly, and I realized that the servant under the door was just a pawn pushed out by him to speak.

Amid all the commotion, Zhang Yi took a step forward thinking about his old love and said, "Even if Master You knew the people from the Nanman, it doesn't mean that this matter is necessarily related to the invasion of the Nanman; let alone that the Prime Minister knew about this and participated in it to commit treason." act."

This remark was in the middle of his heart, and the servant under the door smiled contemptuously, and continued: "It is for this reason that I dared to report it only after I found sufficient evidence. Your Majesty, please allow me to bring witnesses to the court!"

Liu Yueying's slender and white fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair a few times, her cold voice seemed to torture me.

"That's right."

A man in a green gown slowly walked into the hall. When he saw someone coming, he closed his eyes hard and opened them again, wanting to confirm.I know him.

That's right, it was Li Quansheng.

Heh, he is from Hu Zhongli, I should have thought of it earlier.At the beginning, he refused to go to the important position in the Imperial Academy, so he insisted on coming to the cabinet. I am afraid that he wanted to steal the documents I wrote, and then imitate the handwriting.

Li Quansheng was ignorant of his bright future, and he was in cahoots with Hu Zhongli, which only shows that he also had something in Hu Zhongli's hands.The son of a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan County, if he thinks about it with his toes, he will know what he can do.

"Your Majesty, Sheng'an." He saluted Liu Yueying in a gentle and elegant manner, which was really sanctimonious and disgusting.

Li Quansheng took out a letter and a ring, and when I saw it, I felt dizzy.

"This is the greeting letter from the truth to Master. The ring is a gift for him. Why is it in your hand!" Liu Yueying must know this ring. I have worn it in front of her for a long time. When I was in a strong relationship, I was suspicious in every possible way, but now I don't know how much distrust I will have when I am so distant.

"Prime Minister Yang's so-called greeting letter is just a sentence of conspiracy?" He stood tall, with a stern expression, like a gentleman who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic.These people are so unbearable, like rotten fish and smelly shrimp rolling in the gutter, but they are wrapped in a glamorous appearance to deceive the world. If I didn't know the truth, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by him too.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter written by the right minister. It was intercepted by the villain. The words written in it clearly show that she has the intention of treason, and she has long colluded with her master and the Nanman people!"

Li Quansheng unfolded the letter and read aloud: "Love Master Zhan Xin is good, I haven't seen Master for a long time... If you have any requests, tell your disciples, just use the resources and contacts in Beijing to meet the master's requests. If you have important matters, you will not hesitate. Repay Master... Wang Shishou is not as old as Nanshan."

Hiss, these words are right and wrong.I did write it like this, but with the context as a basis, I didn't mean to read it out alone.

"Your Majesty, he's taking things out of context, out of context! I'm writing this letter just to greet Master, and it's not what he meant at all!" There was no other way, I could only kneel down and tell Liu Yueying like this, as for her letter Do not believe……

The letter was brought to the imperial court by the attendant. After reading it, Liu Yueying crumpled up the paper and threw it in front of me, asking me what I wanted to say.

I read it carefully, and found that the few pages that could prove my innocence were torn away, leaving only this unclear content in the whole letter.
