"Your Majesty has an order to announce Zhang Hefeng into the hall--!"

With a few loud shouts of emphasis, an old man with gray hair and clothed clothes slowly walked into the hall. He first bowed respectfully underground and then reported his identity: "The criminal Zhang Hefeng bowed to Your Majesty..."

The ministers standing on both sides of the hall knew the old man who was dismissed for some reason two years ago. Many people showed a different expression because of this. Some of them were worried and some were lucky enough to gloat. However, no one in front of the emperor dared to say anything.

Sun Yong, the descendant of the Emperor of Dayue, looked at the old minister who was obviously much older, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes. But soon, this thought was forced to be suppressed by him, and his face calmed down: "Zhang Hefeng, do you know why I summoned you from Xuzhou?"

"I know, I know that I offend Your Majesty, so I have no complaints." Zhang Hefeng paused his head again and replied calmly. However, his words made the emperor's brows locked, which seemed to be very different from the answers I got before, which made him glance at Wei Tang next to him again.

Wei Tang was also shocked at this time. This... this is very different from the reports he received yesterday. Yesterday they clearly said that Zhang Hefeng had figured it out and would openly confirm that the joint memorial was not written by him, but that someone else had impersonated the name. In this way, the saint would summon him to confront him at the court meeting today.

Now, he actually confessed his sins in one go. This old man would rather die than help those people, even if they were always using the calculating him? It would be fine if he was so desperate, but he wanted to force the saint and himself into a dead end...

The emperor suddenly raised his heart, but at this time he didn't care about blaming Wei Tang and the others for not doing the job. He immediately looked at Zhang Hefeng and said singly: "In this way, that memorial is indeed out of your heart? Zhang Hefeng, you are so brave. Do you know that you are no longer an official in the court, and the matter of the prince is not something you can just interfere with by a civilian!"

At this moment, the emperor was really interested in killing. Even though Zhang Hefeng had always been loyal to the court, and even though he had a great reputation, now putting himself in such an embarrassing situation and not killing him is really not enough to vent his anger!

As if he felt the strong murderous intent of the emperor, Zhang Hefeng's body could not help but tremble for a moment, and then he said hoarsely: "Cao...Caomin knows the crime, but the reason why Caomin is so arrogant is that he believed the lies of some people and thought that someone in the court would be unfavorable to the prince, which made him, who was in the northern border, risk his life to report the report."

"Huh?" The emperor's expression changed again, and he could hear some profound meaning from the other party's words. He immediately asked: "The prince is my son, and he is the crown prince of the country. Who dares to harm him?"

"This... is naturally some people who covet the position of the prince." Zhang Hefeng looked up slightly, and his eyes quickly swept through the Yongwang Sun Lin and several other related party members who were in front of the ministers, which shocked them for no reason. He continued: "Your Majesty, Caomin was the lecturer of the prince before. Once he learned this news, he was naturally the most worried, but he felt that he could not win the trust of others, so he could only risk his life to ask His Majesty to report to His Majesty, hoping to use this to transfer the prince back to Beijing and stay away from the dangerous areas of the northern border, so as to ensure the safety of the prince."

"Hmph, this is simply nonsense. The prince is in northern Xinjiang and is naturally protected by the elite soldiers of my Dayue. How could he really suffer any accidents?"

"Your Majesty is actually a wise and wise man who signed the memorial to the prince's return to the capital according to the words of that person, and I suddenly realized that there was a deception. But at that time, the crime of the crime was too late to regret, so I could only let him enter the capital, thinking that perhaps this would be a good thing for the prince.

"But it was not until His Majesty sent someone to take the criminals to the capital and learned from them that His Majesty's angry expression after seeing this memorial that the criminals realized that he had made a big mistake. The prince is on the frontier, which is the ancestral system of our dynasty, so how can he change it at will? I really can't figure out what the purpose of using the safety of the prince as an excuse to write a memorial. Is he to help the prince, or the prince, or simply to harm the criminals, a priest who has been away from the dynasty for several years..."

Originally, the ministers were still worried that Zhang Hefeng would be dragged out by the angry emperor for a few words and then sentenced to death. However, after a few words, the situation suddenly changed. The king and his ministers revealed a conspiracy while answering questions and answers, which shocked everyone. Many people even looked at their colleagues around them, guessing who the guy who wanted to harm Zhang Hefeng and even the prince was.

The emperor actually had doubts in his heart. Although he had accepted Zhang Hefeng's words, he still couldn't see through the purpose of his trouble. He could easily solve the matter by saying that he didn't know the matter. Why did he come up with this set of rhetoric again?

But at this point, he could only accompany him and immediately said, "In this way, you were deceived and deceived by others, so you have memorialized?"

"That's true, but afterwards, I think about it carefully. In fact, since Your Majesty established the prince early, even if he had much expectations for him, how could he let others harm him, or listen to the words of some people with ulterior motives and give up the intention of abolishing the establishment? Your Majesty, I wonder if this inference of the criminal is true?" After Zhang Hefeng said this, he suddenly looked up boldly and looked straight at the emperor ahead.

What caught my eye was the emperor's slightly shocked expression.

At this moment, let alone him and the emperor, the ministers in the palace also understood in an instant what the ultimate goal of saying so many things in such a big circle was to get the emperor's personal recognition and guarantee, and that he would never have the will of abolishing the crown prince again!

This is Zhang Hefeng’s ultimate goal today to attend the palace!

He came to ensure that the position of the prince is not shaken!

The emperor's eyes suddenly shrank, and he also understood the other party's intentions. If you want to untie the previous link, you have to make a compromise in this matter. If you refuse to even give this promise, Zhang Hefeng may change his words at any time. Anyway, he has put life and death aside, and the future is his last chance.

"It's so amazing... Zhang Hefeng is really an old minister of the two dynasties. In the past, he looked as gentle as jade, but at critical moments, he was like a sharp sword to draw the sheath, and he was so nervous!" Lu Zhen turned his head and looked at his old colleague kneeling there. He felt deeply moved, feeling that he had despised this famous scholar before.

King Yong's face turned blue. He was so angry. Why did things suddenly turn like this? Didn't it be obvious that he came to the prince's party before, but why did he turn around and oppose himself extremely unfavorable?

Wang Han now looked like he was looking at his nose and his heart, as if everything had nothing to do with him. Whoever wins and loses, whoever lives and dies, all had nothing to do with him, the right minister of the current dynasty.

After a moment of stunned silence, the emperor laughed. He had already understood that this should have been a temporary decision made by Zhang Hefeng. He should have been convinced by Li Ling and planned to deny the memorial, but afterwards, he came up with such a way that could kill two birds with one stone.

He wanted to get rid of the enemy who pushed him to such a situation, and at the same time he wanted to keep the prince from being implicated, and even completely stabilize his position.

However, Zhang Hefeng may not know what he hopes for, so the emperor is not angry at this moment, but instead nodded with a smile: "You are right. Since I have appointed the crown prince, it is impossible to depose it at will. Some of the previous statements between the government and the public are just rumors. As long as the crown prince does not make big mistakes and studies in the northern border, the position of crown prince will not change!"

Although these words were not too loud, they were like thunderstorms in the ears of every minister. Especially King Yong and his fellow disciples, they were even more shocked at the moment and were stunned on the spot. This was a big blow to them, and the prince and his party all showed ecstasy. After so many years, they finally got the emperor's personal guarantee and finally had the joy of guarding the clouds and seeing the moon brightly!

"Your Majesty's wise!" After receiving the promise he wanted, Zhang Hefeng was also excited. As long as he said this, it would be worth it even if he really lost his life because of it.

At this time, the emperor's voice rose again: "Now, can you tell me who is the person who lied to you to submit this joint memorial?"

This sentence made everyone come back to their senses quickly. The identity of the person behind the scenes is indeed extremely critical. If it were not for his skills, there would not be such a thing today. However, he is obviously an important figure in the princeling party. Will Zhang Hefeng really say it?

Under the burning eyes of everyone, Zhang Hefeng raised his back and slowly raised his hand to point among the ministers: "It's him..." When everyone followed his movements and looked at him, a person's name came out of his mouth, "Fan Meisheng!"

This time, everyone was shocked again, and some ministers behind him even exclaimed. The answer was too unexpected. On the one hand, because of Fan Meisheng's identity, he is now an important existence among the princely party, and is almost the highest among the few officials who hold real power around the prince. On the other hand, it can be seen from this that the princely party is not as united as imagined. The two officials of the Ministry of Rites who should have been friends and have been superiors and subordinates for many years have reached such a level of incompatible and calculating each other!

Among them, Fan Meisheng was the most frightened of this. He was completely lost at this moment. After a while, he suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am wronged..."
