Zhou Xuan looked at the several papers in his hand, and asked Song Cui beside him: "This one is extremely detailed, and it cannot be found in a day or two. How long have you been preparing in secret?"

"It's been a long time," Song Cui said indifferently, "I don't know when, I have wanted to let the Song family be buried with my mother who died tragically."

Zhou Xuan laughed after hearing this, and slowly began to criticize with a pen: "I should have known earlier that you are a stubborn character who does not achieve your goal. You have a grudge against Song Zhe, and he happened to be in my way. Then Let's do it."

The son of the Song family conspired against him, and several cases were uncovered one after another, which were well-founded and irrefutable. The whole family of the Song family was imprisoned, and Zhou Xuan sent the inspectors to arrest Song Jing at the border of Changting, but it was a pity Song Jing's whereabouts are unknown.

The situation in the court was changing, but within half a month, the tall building of the Song family collapsed. Those ministers who had relied on the backing of the founding father Song Taiwei behind them were all silent and dared not listen to the emperor's words.

Naturally, there are those who are afraid of death, and those who dare to risk death to speak out.

Yushi Liu Wen was one of them. After hearing the verdict that the men of the Song family were exiled for thousands of miles and the women served as official prostitutes, Liu Wen said to the court: "Your Majesty! Song Taiwei's family is loyal to the emperor and the country. They have worked hard for decades, and they are known throughout the court. How could Your Majesty make a hasty conclusion just because of Song Jing’s letters! I heard that the evidence was submitted by Song Cui, the commander of the imperial army. Your Majesty, Song Cui has only been in the court for half a year, and he has expelled the Song family! This person’s words must never be accepted. Letter! I hope that Your Majesty will thoroughly investigate this matter, and that the Song Taiwei family will not be wronged! Zhongliang’s heart must not be chilled! The judgment on Song Taiwei’s family is unfair! I hope that Your Majesty will see clearly and retry the case!"

What Liu Wen said was sincere, and Zhou Xuan, who was on the dragon chair, was a little shaken when he saw the sadness in his eyes through the emperor's crown.What's more, after he finished speaking, seven or eight ministers came out to intercede, begging Zhou Xuan to retry Song Zhe's case.

Zhou Xuan never thought that he would be able to overthrow Song Zhe once before, because he knew that the Song family could not be unfaithful to Dachang. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have let Song Zhe and a group of veterans confuse his mind even after ten years swell.

"Master Yushi," Song Cui's voice sounded, he said casually: "What do you mean by that, are you questioning His Majesty, questioning whether you are an official?"

"Hmph!" Seeing him talking, Liu Wen glared at him angrily, "Song Cui, you know what method you used! Song Taiwei's family are loyal ministers of Dachang. They have devoted themselves to Dachang for so many years, and finally ended up like this, collaborating with the enemy and treason. ? This is absolutely impossible, you handed over the notes, you sent up the evidence, maybe you framed Zhongliang?"

"Master Liu kept saying that his subordinates made false accusations, so he produced evidence?" Song Cui looked up at Zhou Xuan who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said slowly, "Also, Mr. Liu may be right in some words, Song Jing Before collaborating with the enemy and treason, Song Taiwei may or may not be a loyal minister, but there is one thing that I must confirm, and that is——Song Jiazhong must be Dachang, but not necessarily His Majesty. In my heart, only Your Majesty alone."

These words were for Zhou Xuan.

The hesitation that had just arisen in Zhou Xuan's heart was suppressed, and he lowered his head and smiled.

Song reminded this bastard, what does it mean that only His Majesty is alone... Zhou Xuan's good words of loyalty to the emperor were heard in Zhou Xuan's ears, and there was some ambiguity for no reason.

Song Cui caught this smile, he changed the subject, and looked at Liu Wen: "Your Majesty has made a promise, the verdict of Dali Temple has been issued, Master Liu is still not convinced, and he can't produce any evidence, so he always opposes His Majesty. All the officials said that His Majesty's move was inappropriate, why, is Lord Liu teaching His Majesty how to do things? Or do you think His Majesty has too good a temper and is up to you? Do you have to listen to your Majesty in everything, and listen to you," Song Pointing to the seven or eight people who stood up: "Do you think His Majesty is doing the right thing?"

"You...you!" Liu Wen was gasping for breath, but he couldn't find anything to refute. Then he looked at the emperor on the dragon chair and his face sank after hearing Song Cui's words. He was about to shut up when he saw Song Cui With a complacent look, he couldn't get angry, and sneered: "I won't tell you the country rogue, but I'm just the commander of the imperial guards. You should lead the troops to patrol obediently and protect the safety of the imperial city!"

Originally, Zhou Xuan's gloomy face was just pretending, but Liu Wen's words completely angered him.

"But I don't know that the martial arts champion I hand-picked is just a country rascal in the eyes of Mr. Liu." Zhou Xuan stood up from the dragon chair and walked down the steps: "It seems that Mr. Liu is not convinced by me in many ways. The commander of my Imperial Guard also wants to take care of it?"

Liu Wen realized that he had made a big mistake when he spoke eloquently. He was sweating profusely and knelt down on the ground: "I dare not... Your Majesty forgive me... I don't care what I say... I beg Your Majesty to forgive me..."

When Liu Wen knelt down, all those who came out of the line knelt down.

Zhou Xuan glanced at them coldly, then looked away, scanned the hundreds of ministers, and finally fell on Song Cui's face.

Song urged Zhou Xuan to show a gentle smile.

Zhou Xuan only felt that the anger aroused by Liu Wen just now dissipated a lot. He turned around and walked a few steps, stood on the steps, silently looked at the hundreds of people in the hall, and said after a while: "Song urged to accept the order."

Song Cui was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what Zhou Xuan was going to do, so he came out and knelt down, and said loudly, "The next official is here."

"From today onwards, Song Cui will be the new Taiwei," Zhou Xuan said, "Everyone may have objections... That's all, if you have objections, you don't need to speak out, I've made up my mind, Song Cui," Zhou Xuan looked at him with a smile: "Would you like to accept the order?"

"Minister," Song Cui straightened his back, looked at Zhou Xuan, "accept the order."

After that day, Song Cui's name as a courtier first appeared.

After the court meeting, Song Cui did not go back to the mansion, but entered the palace, changed his official uniform at his residence and went to Changle Palace, Zhou Xuan dismissed the servants around him.As soon as the two met, they looked at each other and laughed.

Zhou Xuan asked Song Cui: "What is Ah Cui laughing at?"

"What are you laughing at, Brother Xuan?" Song Cui asked back, walking to Zhou Xuan's side.

"I asked first, you said first."

"Okay," Song Cui stroked Zhou Xuan's black hair hanging behind his back, "Let me say it first, I laughed at His Majesty who just acted impulsively and gave me a high official."

Zhou Xuan gave him a squinting look: "If you get a cheap deal, you still act like a good boy. It's not good to be a high-ranking official? No matter how many people ask for it, they can't get it."

Song Cui served Zhou Xuan a cup of tea, and smiled while skimming off the froth for him: "That's right, how many people can't ask for something, your majesty just gave it to me in a fit of anger."

Zhou Xuan snorted softly: "I can't hear them saying that you are not good at all." Zhou Xuan took the tea in Song Cui's hand and lowered his head to peck lightly: "Ah Cui, since I became the throne, no one has ever defended me in the court like this. I have never felt so comfortable facing hundreds of officials like this morning."

Song Cui gently rubbed the top of Zhou Xuan's head.

"Brother Xuan is not afraid, I will always be here in the future," Song Cui promised, "I will always be by your side."

Zhou Xuan nodded, put down the teacup, threw himself into his arms, and hummed lightly.

Song Cui reached out and hugged him.

They embraced tightly, breathing the smell of each other, but they couldn't see each other's eyes in this posture.
