Xu Jie, who had just walked in, had already noticed that the expressions of the two men were a little wrong. He was about to ask, but Du Zhixian said: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Ouyang was taken away by Dali Temple."

"What?" Xu Jie seemed to have not heard it clearly.

Fang Xing also gritted his teeth and stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty's imperial edict, mentioned Ouyang Gong to Dali Temple to question the crime. I and Governor Du really cannot. Mr. Xu forgive me."

Xu Jie frowned and walked straight to the center of his head. He seemed to be used to it. Xu Jie sat down like this, thinking about the head of the imperial yamen.

After pondering for a long time, he stood up and said, "Jiyue, Uncle Eight, you are waiting for me here, I will go back."

He Jiyue nodded, but Xu Laoba asked: "Where are Jie'er going? Uncle Ba is going with you, and there is also a way to take care of him."

Xu Jie replied: "Uncle Eight, just stay here and wait for me, I'll go into the palace."

When Xu Laoba heard that Xu Jie had entered the palace, he didn't say much, because he didn't go there like this when Xu Laoba wanted to. Xu Laoba didn't know the danger at this time.

On the contrary, Du Zhi knew about it and quickly spoke, "Young Master Xu, you should not go to the imperial city. Your Majesty also ordered the Golden Palace Guard to arrest you. In this investigation factory, they are all their own brothers, so it's okay. If you go to the imperial city, you are afraid that things will exceed expectations."

Just this sentence has already revealed the nature of Du Zhi. Seeing Xu Jie in this investigation factory can tell how much risk he took.

Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's the last time I'm facing each other, I hope there is room for recovery."

Xu Jie knew how great it would be to enter the palace, but Xu Jie still had the last bit of luck, or it could not be said to be a lucky person, but he kept the last bit of respect as he thought about the last bit of love.

The current situation and situation are affected by the whole body, and the impact is too great. Is it really a time to do it without permission? Xu Jie still has a little room in his heart?

This room is to meet Xia Rui in person. After all, the two have had more than three years of friendship. After all, Xu Jie believes that he has made great contributions to the throne and ascend the throne.

Perhaps it was the emperor's impression in Xu Jie's heart, and the figure of Xia Rui in the past.

So Xu Jie couldn't stop the idea of ​​seeing Xia Rui again. Since Xia Rui ascended the throne, Xu Jie and Xia Rui have never had a real conversation or exchange.

The last time I met this is to have a real conversation.

Xu Jie just left the house like this, with the sword on his waist and didn't go to the city gate, and he still crossed the wall as before.

Xu Jie, who had just passed the wall, was blocked by the people of the Golden Palace Guard. In the past, most of Xu Jie entered the palace like this, and most of them were accompanied by the people of the Golden Palace Guard. Today, when Xu Jie entered the palace like this, there were naturally people of the Golden Palace Guard to block it.

Xu Jie looked at the man opposite, holding his hand on the hilt of the knife, and said, "I want to see Your Majesty."

The man, carrying a sword, looked at Xu Jie who was about to draw his sword in front of him, and whispered: "You are not my opponent, you can go."

The Golden Palace Guard, the Twenty-three guards!

"Twenty-three, it's not someone else who is blocking here today, but you. I think you already know that I'm back to Beijing. Since you know that I'm back to Beijing but didn't take it, what's the point of letting me in and meet Your Majesty?" Xu Jie was very smart. The Golden Palace Guard who guarded the Imperial City was naturally a shift to exchange duty. Wei 23 could not have free time to pay by the city wall. Wei 23 appeared so quickly, and Xu Jie had already guessed a lot.

"Today is different from the past. What is the difference between seeing and not seeing? If I were you, I would go far away and stay away from it, it would be the best thing." Wei 23 seemed to have never said so many words to a person in his life.

I am afraid that none of the things in the deep palace can be hidden from Wei Twenty-san. Even if Xu Jie had a great mercy in the past, it would be impossible to hide from Wei Twenty-san afterwards. Not to mention the chaos in the deep palace now. But Wei Twenty-san is a minister after all, and if he knows, he just knows it.

Perhaps only Wei Ersan can be regarded as a real bystander of the sight of everything that happened in the entire capital.

"Twenty-three, it may be no difference to you or not, or to Your Majesty, but to me, it is very different." Xu Jie replied.

Wei 23 shook his head and replied, "You will make it difficult for me to do it. I have killed countless people with this sword, but I have never killed anyone who should not be killed. Today you go see me, and my sword, maybe I will kill someone who should not be killed."

Xu Jie could understand, but he still said firmly: "I may not be your opponent! Life and death are fate!"

Xu Jie knew that he was not as good as Wei Twenty-san in terms of martial arts, but Xu Jie did not think that he was really not Wei Twenty-san's opponent with this.

"Xu Jie, I have seen everything in this capital, know the ending of everything, and know the consequences of everything. You should listen to me." Wei Ersan said again. Wei Ersan, who spoke like this continuously, could be considered chattering endlessly.

"Twenty-three, let's go. It's useless to say more. Take me to see you." Xu Jie replied.

"You are born to be Xu Wenyuan. You know how to advance and retreat, but you still ask for peace of mind. People are different after all. If you insist on doing this, everyone will be at peace with your will." Wei Ershisan shook his head and sighed. Then he shouted: "Lao Jiu, take him to see Your Majesty."

Lao Jiu's figure appeared in front of Xu Jie, and Wei Ersan had already disappeared into the palace in the distance.

Wei Jiu walked up to Xu Jie and made a gesture of inviting him.

Xu Jie looked at Wei Jiu and asked, "How are you doing lately?"

Wei Jiu answered casually: "It's fine if you don't see it. If you don't see it, you can't sleep day and night."

"Lao Jiu, are you talking so misty now?" Xu Jie asked with a smile.

Wei Jiu also laughed at himself and replied: "In the past, I looked down on those men who were in the world. I just thought that those people were just children playing with mud, which was extremely ridiculous. Now, I envy those who were in the world."

"Hey, are you saying that I am a child playing with mud?" Xu Jie took the lead because Xu Jie felt that he could probably be considered a man who traveled around the world.

"If Mr. Xu is playing with mud, then will we still be learning to walk?" Wei Jiu teased, but his smile was not free and easy.

Xu Jie actually couldn't laugh. People always like to force themselves to smile in a state of tension, just to relieve their pressure and embarrassment. At this time, his face darkened and he answered: "Toddler is right, but he is just toddler."

Wei Jiu no longer answered, but took Xu Jie to the Chugong Hall.

In the Chuigong Hall, there was a person who was referring to the question. It was Xu Shida who had returned from the border town a few days ago.

The military information in the border town has just arrived. Chang Kai died in the capital, which was about the same time as Xu Jie!

As soon as he received the news, Xu Shida hurried into the palace to express his achievements.

Emperor Xia Rui didn't seem very happy. He probably felt that everything was expected. There had not been any major problems in the Dahua Dynasty for nearly three hundred years, so he felt that it was impossible to have any problems when he ascended the throne. This is the normal idea of ​​the human heart, and it is appropriate to have no problems.

"Xu Qing, you have made great contributions to your trip to the border town. I am thinking about giving you an additional title recently." Xia Rui spoke, obviously trying to arrange for Xu Shida to become the prime minister.

Xu Shida hurriedly leaned over and bowed, and replied, "Your Majesty, I have been to the border town, relying on your majesty. Although I am in the border town, I have been shocked by those generals, resulting in the smooth military orders and the planning and dispatching, but I dare not take credit for myself. If this great victory is all due to Your Majesty."

Xia Rui was naturally very happy when he heard this. He felt that Xu Shida was a modest and realistic person, not a general person who boasted and boasted. He also said: "In a place of chaos, there are some contributions to the danger, and Xu Qing does not have to be humble. At that time, he will discuss the rewards and arrange for someone to make a proposal. At that time, I will allow him to do so. How about Xu Qing being the right servant of the Shangshu? He is also a minister of the disciple and is appointed as the crown prince's young master."

Xu Shida was overjoyed when he heard this, quickly lifted up his skirt and leaned over and knelt down: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Xia Rui was laughing. Everything went smoothly as expected, the war went smoothly, and the personnel arrangements were also smooth, so naturally he was in a good mood.

But the unsuccessful thing came immediately. Wei 23 walked into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Jie has arrived."

Xia Rui's expression changed when he heard this, and the smile on his face disappeared. He spoke, "Bring it in."

Xia Rui might have thought that Xu Jie was taken back by the Jindian Guard. After a moment, he saw Xu Jie swaying in. He was quite surprised and looked at Wei Ershi San beside him.

Wei Twenty-three bowed: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have never captured Xu Jie. This time he came here in person to see Your Majesty."

Xia Rui frowned, looked at Xu Jie who bowed to him, thought for a while, and asked, "Wenyuan, why are you so bold and arrogant? How dare you interfere in the military affairs? This time, you have violated the ban and should be punished. I think this matter was arranged by your teacher Ouyang Zheng. The state has its own laws and the family has its own rules. Do you understand the truth?"

Xu Jie had finished his gift and answered: "Your Majesty, the battle is not a joke, and it is related to the safety of the world between victory and defeat. Caomin came here to ask for a meeting, but only wanted to know what crime Ouyang Gong committed. Caomin only wanted to convince him."

When Xia Rui really faced Xu Jie, he seemed to have less of the demeanor in front of him. When he took Ouyang Zheng in front of him and ordered someone to arrest Xu Jie, Xia Rui was full of the majesty of being the emperor.

When facing Xu Jie at this time, Xia Rui didn't know if he was guilty or afraid, but he was no longer so decisive.

Xia Rui subconsciously knew that he had something wrong, what was afraid of, and what was guilty about, and what was guilty about it.

"Wen Yuan, Ouyang Gong is naturally guilty. You are not only his disciple, but also his son-in-law. The prime minister of the current dynasty, sending his son-in-law to intervene in command and dispatch in the army. This is a crime. You are also guilty and should be punished." Xia Rui replied.

Xu Jie looked up at Xia Rui on the high seat and asked again: "Your Majesty, the reason is profound. I wonder if Your Majesty really understands it? Is Ouyang Gong and Caomin helping or threatening to Your Majesty? Can Your Majesty consider it, don't be so aggressive, don't be so overwhelming?"

"Bold, Xu Wenyuan, how dare you be so arrogant in the hall? How dare you talk to Your Majesty like this?" Xu Shida was already scolding him.

Xu Jie didn't even look at Xu Shida, who was talking, but still looked up at Xia Rui. Xu Jie sometimes couldn't figure it out. It was not that Xu Jie couldn't figure out why things turned out like this?

If Xia Rui is afraid of something, such as being afraid of Xu Jie knowing that Xia Rui is in a bad position. Then Xia Rui will do it directly, and if you want to fight, kill, and silence, then go and do it.

But Xia Rui didn't do it in front of him.

If Xia Rui was afraid that Xu Jie and Ouyang Zheng would have any power in the court, just like Li Qiming. Xu Jie himself resigned from office and stopped working. At worst, he would let Ouyang Zheng go to office. Why should he have to be imprisoned and humiliated with such an old minister who devoted himself to the death?

What was Xia Rui thinking? Maybe Xia Rui himself didn't know, because Xia Rui himself didn't realize what he was afraid of or was afraid of. Everything Xia Rui did was just insecure, not self-confidence, and inferiority deep in his heart.

But Xia Rui didn't have so much scheming. Facing Xu Jie and Ouyang Zheng, he actually didn't know what to do. The more he didn't know what to do, the more he was acting randomly. He had no plans and acted like this.

However, Xia Rui had one purpose that was obvious, that is, this dynasty could not tolerate Ouyang Zheng, Xu Jie, or even tolerate any person who pointed at him, the new emperor. As for how he could not tolerate it, Xia Rui had no specific plans, he could only take one step at a time.

This kind of inconsistency is like Xia Qian in the past who could not tolerate a son with a scar on his face. It is impossible to explain exactly how Xia Qian can not tolerate it, but it just can't tolerate it, and it feels uncomfortable to look at it.

Xia Rui was the same. He felt uncomfortable when he looked at Ouyang Zheng, and even more uncomfortable when he looked at Xu Jie. Perhaps because of Xu Jie, he was also humiliated and handled by His Majesty, the emperor.

"Xu Wenyuan, I am different from the past. You should pay attention to your conversation with me." Xia Rui was actually furious, but in front of Xu Wenyuan, Xia Rui subconsciously endured it for a few times. At this time, he no longer wanted to endure it. He just felt that Xu Wenyuan was really ungrateful.

"Your Majesty, Caomin only wants to ask one thing. Can you let Ouyang Public Security enjoy his old age because Mr. Ouyang has worked hard for so many years?" Xu Jie asked bluntly, because Xu Jie knew that Xia Rui really didn't understand many things. If Xia Rui understood, Wang Yuanlang would not be replaced, and Ouyang Zheng would not be imprisoned. Xia Rui didn't understand, and it was meaningless to say so much else, only this question is more meaningful.

Xia Rui seemed to be unable to bear such Xu Jie anymore, frowned and asked, "What if I can enjoy my old age? So what if I can't enjoy my old age? Are you threatening me? Do you still want to threaten the court's laws?"

"Your Majesty, Xu Wenyuan is really not a king or a father, and he does not know the superiors and inferiors. Speaking to Your Majesty in this way is a harsh intention. He deceives the emperor and does not want to punish his crimes. He must not be careless." Xu Shida had already fanned the flames and even thought of anger in his heart.

Wei 23 had already frowned when he heard it.

Xu Jie finally took back his eyes to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Caomin is not threatening anyone, Caomin is just trying to convince himself."

Xia Rui heard Xu Jie's speechless words and said, "Xu Jie, if I hadn't been thinking about the old feelings, I wouldn't have allowed you to talk nonsense here. Today's affairs are not serious. But you can't escape the matter of privately interfering in military affairs. Although you were instructed by Ouyang Zheng, the accomplice is also guilty. The person who came to arrest Xu Wenyuan and was sentenced to trial."

Hearing this, Xu Jie seemed to have something in his heart that there was only one last point left, and suddenly all of this last point disappeared.

Xu Jie's hand was placed on the hilt of the knife and his eyes looked at Wei Ershi San.

Wei Ershisan also held the sword in his hand, but hesitated for a moment.
Chapter completed!
