Reborn as King again

What Ji Ze said in front of me yesterday immediately spread inside and outside the palace.

This kind of situation is also because I didn't consider it carefully. When Ji Ze was summoned in Taiye Court, there were so many eunuchs watching, and Ji Ze shouted so loudly, it was hard not to be heard.

So in the early morning of the second day, almost all officials wrote letters of impeachment, and Xia Ligang destroyed the letter of surrender.

As soon as the news came out yesterday, the officials immediately searched for evidence. They interrogated the ministers of Yan who were captured together and asked if there was a letter of surrender. One of the ministers Gu Ming said that the letter of surrender was from the emperor of Yan. It was written by his own hand, and it was also stamped by himself, and then he handed it over to all the confidant ministers for review before sending envoys to the border between the two countries to deliver the letter of surrender to Xia Ligang.

In the early court, Jia Fan led the officials to present the testimony of the Minister of Yan with both hands. Jia Fan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, General Xia disregarded the law and discipline, destroying the letter of surrender privately is tantamount to treason. However, I feel that , General Xia will not betray Datong, he is just very happy, please let the emperor lighten his sentence." I found that Jia's family has a characteristic, that is, they are talking to help others, but in fact they are doomed Stomp people down.

Wanfu went down to the hall, took the testimony handed by Jia Fan with both hands, and then quickly came to the dragon chair and handed the testimony to me. I glanced at it briefly and put it aside.

How should I put it, in fact, this kind of testimony from an enemy country is a very delicate thing. Whether it is effective or not depends entirely on what the emperor thinks.In other words, no matter whether this testimony is true or not, as long as the emperor thinks it is true, then it is true and cannot be refuted at all. If the emperor thinks it is false, it can still be justified, after all, it is something provided by the enemy , Who knows if there is any fraud.

Grand Master Xia is the eldest brother of General Xia. If this kind of trouble happens, the whole family will be implicated. He quickly stood up to excuse his younger brother, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely nonsense. General Xia fought three times for the country. For more than ten years, he has been convincing people with virtue, even the people of the enemy country love him, how could he do such a thing as destroying the letter of surrender?!" Taishi Xia said, turning his head to Xia Ligang and said : "General Xia, you are speaking for yourself!"

Seeing Taishi Xia's anxious expression, I knew that Xia Ligang didn't tell him the whole story. After all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

As for Xia Ligang, in his official uniform, he stood there with his head held high, completely unafraid, and he said loudly: "This minister never did anything to seize or destroy the surrender letter. Lightning strike!"

Xia Ligang's venomous oath was quite skillful, because I was the one who seized and burned the letter of surrender, and he just knew about it, so a thunderbolt from the sky would never hit him.

I got a headache from being quarreled by the ministers in the hall. I thought that without He Wenyan, who would criticize trivial matters all day long, my government would be much quieter. It turns out that I was thinking too much , as long as there are two mouths in the Golden Luan Hall, it will never be quiet.

"Okay! You all stop arguing," I rubbed my temples and said, "I trust General Xia in this matter. He can't do anything that will harm Datong. I think it's probably Yan Guo who is provoking it."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Jia Fan really wanted to bring down the Xia family. Now that the He family is gone, as long as the Xia family falls, and the Liu family has the empress dowager suppressing them, it will be them. The Jia family is dominant, so it is best to use this opportunity to pull down Xia Ligang who controls the military power of the Xia family!

"The one who should think twice is you, Prime Minister Jia." I frowned and said, "Why can't you figure it out? If General Xia destroyed the letter of surrender, why did he still capture the royal family and ministers of Yan Kingdom alive?" , and escorted them to the capital, and sent them before me, isn't he afraid that the Yan people will sue them?"

"Yes! Your Majesty is right," Grand Master Xia immediately agreed after hearing the words, and said to Jia Fan, "Prime Minister Jia, don't even think about it. If General Xia really concealed the surrender, he would still keep Ji Ji. Is it the living mouth of the clan? Isn't he keeping a handle for himself?"

Jia Fan was speechless after being refuted, after all, everything I said made sense.

It's not easy for everyone to say anything about the surrender of the letter. Anyway, the officials can't find any substantive evidence. A few Yan Guo testimonies are nothing to worry about. As long as I say that I believe in Xia Ligang, they can't do it at all.

"Your Majesty," the next one to speak was Liu Guogong Liu Ren, he said: "I also believe that General Xia is innocent. It is really abhorrent to want to make the emperor jealous and punish General Xia."

After listening to Liu Guogong's words, I couldn't help raising my eyebrows, this is really strange, the Liu family has always been at odds with the other families, and now they actually speak for the Xia family, "Then according to what Liu Guogong said, how should I deal with it? "

Liu Guogong suggested: "I think it's better to kill those nonsense Yan people earlier, otherwise maybe they will make up something in order to survive."

It seems that Liu Guogong wants to use my hand to kill all the Ji clan.It seems that there is really something shady about the Liu family and the Ji family of Yan State.

"I know about this matter," I didn't express my opinion on the spot, "Is there anything else to say? If not, let's retreat."

"Your Majesty..." Liu Guogong wanted to say something more.

"Okay, I will consider the matter of the Yan people," I interrupted impatiently: "It's so early in the morning, you two are not tired of arguing."

The ministers could tell that I was in a bad mood, so they quietly stopped talking and made their own plans.

If an eunuch walked by Taiye Court, he would smell a faint fragrance, not flowers or rouge, but a smell of barbecue.

Tonight's Taiye Court is not as quiet and dark as usual, but brightly lit. On the Taiye Court, the eunuchs set up a high fire frame, and then brought a fresh slaughtered meat from the imperial dining room. For the lamb, spread seasonings and spices on the body and abdomen of the lamb, then pick up an iron brazing rod to skewer the lamb, and roast it on the fire rack for roughly two hours until the lamb is fully roasted. Charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with bursts of fragrance, this roasted whole lamb with full Northwest flavor is complete.

Roasted whole lamb belongs to the diet of Hu people in the Western Regions, but most people in the Central Plains are not used to eating it. They think the smell of mutton is mutton.However, the country of Yan, which borders the Western Regions, is very able to accept the diet of the Hu people.

Take Yan Emperor Ji Ze as an example. One of his favorite dishes is roasted whole lamb, especially the fresh and tender lamb. He eats it almost every day.It's just that he was captured later, and he couldn't keep up with the last meal. Now that the roasted whole lamb is placed in front of him, he must be drooling.

All members of the Ji clan were brought to Taiye Court. They watched the eunuchs set up a pyre and skewer the mutton. Now that the mutton was roasted, it was placed in front of them. They didn't know what the intention was.

"Ji Ze, have you seen how the mutton is roasted?" I asked with a smile.

"What?" Ji Ze didn't understand what I meant.

"I've heard that you like fresh and tender roast lamb the most," I said with a smile, "Seeing that you've been exhausted from running around recently, I'm afraid you haven't eaten anything good. I'll treat you to barbecue tonight."

Hearing this, Ji Ze felt a chill in his heart for some reason, "Why did you invite me to eat mutton?"

"I never said I would treat you to mutton." I winked at the eunuch next to me.

After getting the order, the inner eunuchs left, and after a while, they brought over a naked child.The kid was still very young, he looked like he was only two years old. Not only did he not have any clothes on, but his whole body was covered with the spices that had been put on the lamb just now.

Ji Ze's face turned pale when he saw the child, it was his only son Ji Zhan!Ji Ze is not yet 20 years old, so he has few heirs, and now there is only one prince, Ji Zhan, under his knees.Seeing Ji Zhan's appearance, how could Ji Ze not know what I want to do? !He turned his head and opened his eyes wide and said, "You...you are not human! You shouldn't..."

"You are right," I confirmed his thoughts, "Your son is still so young, he is no different from a lamb, don't worry, when he is cooked, I will let the eunuch feed you bite by bite."

"Don't! You...you..." Ji Ze was so stimulated that he couldn't speak, what is he going to do?Want him to watch his son being roasted like a lamb? !How can this be? !

Ji Ze wanted to step forward to stop him, but was held down by the eunuchs. The other Ji clan did not expect me to strike so hard. Some cried, some cursed, some begged for mercy, the entire Taiye court was them the sound of.

And that Ji Zhan, who was less than two years old, didn't know how he would be dealt with. He was just frightened by the scene in front of him, and started to cry.

I didn't care about these things at all, and waved my hand to the inner supervisor. After the inner supervisor got the order, he said sharply: "Skewer, put it on the shelf!"

"Don't! Don't!" Ji Ze couldn't bear to see Aiko being tortured like this, he was still so young!I can't even say enough! "Just kill me! Kill us directly! Why do such heinous things!"

I said coldly: "You have falsely accused General Xia of destroying the letter of surrender for selfishness, this is your own fault!"

"I didn't make a false accusation! I'm telling the truth!" Even now, Ji Ze still refuses to change his words, "There is nothing wrong with inflicting crimes! Even if I die, I will tell the whole world that it is Xia Ligang. For the sake of military merit, destroy my Dayan's letter of surrender!"

"You are so obsessed with obsession!" As if angry at Ji Ze's words, I pointed at his nose and cursed: "Sure enough! Sure enough, what Liu Guogong said is right! You people from the Yan Kingdom are bewitching people with your deceitful words, and you must get rid of them quickly! I will torture you to death!"

Ji Ze seemed to have heard some important information, "Liu Guogong?"

"That's right, Duke Liu." I said to Ji Ze, "Duke Liu stood up for General Xia and said that General Xia was innocent. You people from Yan are bloody and bloody! I will kill all of your Ji clan!" After finishing, I told the inner eunuchs: "Why are you still standing there?! Hurry up!"

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that his son was about to get angry, Ji Ze said in a panic, "That Liu Guogong is Liu Ren, right? He...he wants to kill people! He wants to keep the Liu family from collaborating with the enemy and traitorous." secret!"

"What did you say?" On the surface I was shocked, but in my heart I sneered, Ji Ze, you finally said it.
