Chapter 341 Xu Wenyuan, absolutely not!

A shout suddenly came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am back, I am back!"

This shout made the sword suddenly stop, and everyone's eyes looked out of the hall.

The person who came back was wearing golden armor. It was Zhang Li, the commander of the Golden Palace Guard, and now Zhang Li, the general of the three towns.

Zhang Li came back a little quickly, so quickly that it was beyond Xu Jie's expectations. The battle had just stopped and there were many things to do aftermath, and there were even threats from the Wei people in the outer room. Zhang Li rushed back to the capital at this time.

Zhang Li, who walked into the hall with a smile on his face, looked at Xu Jie at the first glance, and looked at Xu Jie's hand holding the knife. Perhaps this is the reason why he rushed back so quickly.

Just like the words he said to Xu Shida, "I understand." Zhang Li obviously really understood, so he rushed back and came back to do something he felt he had to do.

"My memory, Zhang Li, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Zhang Li knelt on one knee and bowed his hands.

Xia Rui, who was showing his emperor's majesty, saw Zhang Li walking in, and his face turned: "Pretty, Zhang Aiqing quickly invites you. Come and sit down!"

Zhang Li, who had stood up, waved his hands with the eunuch who was going to move the seat, and said, "Your Majesty, I can just stand. How dare I sit in the hall?"

Xia Rui insisted on saying, "Master, Zhang Aiqing leads the way and fights to triumph. I should have such courtesy. I did not expect my beloved to come back so quickly, otherwise I would have led millions of subjects out of the city to welcome him, so that I can live up to my beloved to make such great contributions to the country."

"Thank you for your kindness. I am so eager to come back, just for one thing." Zhang Li replied. Zhang Li had thought about this matter before going to war, just waiting for today.

"What's the point of Zhang Aiqing? Let's talk about it quickly." Xia Rui was really happy. This kind of joy was not just because of the victory of the war. There was also a sense of security, as the emperor. Because Xia Rui, the new emperor, finally had a truly reliable team. Wen had Xu Shida, Wu had Zhang Li. Just like the old emperor Wen had Ouyang Zheng, Wu had Wang Yuanlang.

Only such an imperial court can make the emperor feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, I rushed back to ask for merit for Xu Wenyuan. Your Majesty entrusted heavy responsibilities. I was worried and panic, afraid that the entrusted entrusted would not work, and I was ashamed of being kind to Your Majesty. I knew that I had enough to maintain my achievements and did not make progress. Faced with such a heavy responsibilities, I looked around the left and right, but had no support to help. After thinking about it, only Xu Wenyuan was the only one who had achieved both civil and military achievements. Wen could plan major events, and Wu could go to the battlefield without any reason. Therefore, I visited the cottage three times and asked, but Meng Xu Wenyuan did not abandon him, and was at the left.

Right-sponsored military staff. Now he has returned triumphantly, relying on Xu Wenyuan's strategy and leading the way. Although the war has won, I feel more regretful in my heart. With Xu Wenyuan's talent, he is like a waste of natural resources in the wild, and he can do his unparalleled talents in the court. At this opportunity of great victory, I rushed back to the court just to make this loyal statement and make great achievements for the country. I hope Your Majesty will agree." Zhang Li made this statement in one go, obviously thinking about it many times along the way.

After Zhang Li said with a smile, his eyes only looked left and right.

The people in the hall were also looking at Zhang Li. Does Zhang Li really not understand? Or do you not know the situation in the court at this time? Or is Zhang Li just pretending to be confused and pretending to be stupid like this?

Xia Rui's expression had already changed drastically. Hearing Zhang Li's words, he didn't know how to answer for a while. Because of Zhang Li's words, not only did Xu Jie lose his guilt, but also Ouyang Zheng also lost his guilt.

Because Xu Jie went to the border town, it was not Ouyang Zheng's order, nor was Xu Jie's overpass. Instead, Zhang Li visited the cottage three times, which Zhang Li invited him to come to him, and the general of the three towns invited Xu Jie to be his aide. What is wrong in this way? Not to mention any culprits. From ancient times to the present, which general has no military staff around him? These aides don't have any official positions. In ancient times, which one of the high-ranking officials did not support his disciples? Now, who does not support some documents and the butler?

Xu Shida heard Zhang Li's words and quickly spoke: "Master Zhang, General Zhang, why should this be so? Your Majesty is in front of you, how can General Zhang not be loyal and treacherous? General Zhang... General Zhang, if you win the battle, your Majesty is the first, General Zhang is virtuous. General Zheng, you have good governance of the army, and if the soldiers are in the death of the emperor, how can they rely solely on him Xu Wenyuan? Could it be that Xu Wenyuan fought this war alone? Could it be that Xu Wenyuan would lose the war if he did not go to the border town?"

When Zhang Li heard this, his eyes sterned, looked at Xu Shida, and said, "I'll reply to you, you're fine. If there was no Xu Wenyuan in this battle, I would definitely not be able to win. What else do you have to say?"

Xu Shida was already heartbroken and said again: "Master Zhang, how could you say such words? Not to mention the fact that you were rushing to the border town with the Holy Sword thousands of miles away. If His Majesty did not have His Majesty, would you win this battle? If there was no military general's life, would you win this battle?"

Zhang Li smiled, but stopped looking at Xu Shida and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to use military merits to support Xu Wenyuan as an official in the court!"

Zhang Li said this sentence loudly, making Xia Rui's face pale.

Because Xia Rui's time to be emperor is not short, it was the first time that he encountered such a situation. The first time he met someone who really opposed him in person. Even though he was annoying, he was just chatting about his heartfelt advice, rather than contradicting him like Zhang Li.

But Zhang Li seemed to be excused because Zhang Li, who had just arrived back, didn't know what the situation was at this time.

It was the first time Xia Rui was so difficult. Looking at the commander general who had just returned from triumphantly, I don’t know what words to use to reject the request he made. He could only speak: “My dear, you should make a long-term plan for this matter. If you have any contribution, you will naturally have to reward you. But you can’t give your contribution to others. I know that you are loyal, but it is not like this to recommend others as an official. If everyone recommends others like this, you can become an official, wouldn’t you return to the Qin and Han Dynasties?”

Wei Ershisan on the side seemed to have a sigh of relief, and knew that something against his will. With Zhang Li here, it probably wouldn't happen today. The sword in Wei Ershisan's hand doesn't need to be killed.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Li said again: "Your Majesty, the place where our dynasty was ahead of the Qin and Han dynasties was the imperial examination. Using the way of rising poor families, it was also a way to discover talents. Xu Wenyuan was originally a Jinshi, but now he has made merits in the army. It is the most suitable thing to enter the dynasty civil servants without violating the laws of the ancestors."

Xia Rui was willing to explain so much to Zhang Li, probably because Zhang Li was in great honor and should pay attention to it. But at this time, Xia Rui could not say that Zhang Li was, and he didn't know what words to convince Zhang Li, so he could only say: "Zhang Aiqing, things are not as simple as you think. Ouyang Zheng secretly sent his relatives to intervene in the war, and it has been overcome. At this time, the investigation must be revealed. My dear just returned from triumphantly, and it was the time to get tired of the journey. I should have a good rest. In the evening, I will hold a big banquet to celebrate my dear."

Zhang Li was like a humble man, but he couldn't understand the meaning of his words. He spoke again: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ouyang has never intervened in the military affairs privately. Mr. Ouyang is a gentleman and clear stream. How could he do such a thing? Xu Wenyuan is a talented person. Your Majesty must be close to and valued, and do not miss talents."

The situation became awkward, and Xu Jie stood aside and gave Zhang Li a thankful look. Even Xu Jie himself did not expect Zhang Li to come to help him in such a desperate situation.

Xia Rui was silent. From time to time, he went to see Xu Shida, probably signaling Xu Shida to speak. Because Xia Rui himself didn't know what to say, but Xia Rui's goal was to achieve it. This goal was to punish Ouyang Zheng and Xu Jie.

Xu Shida was even more embarrassed, but had to speak: "I think Marshal Zhang didn't know yet. Ouyang Zheng was already in prison and waiting for trial. Dali Temple is intensifying investigation. That's why His Majesty said that since the long-term plan, Marshal Zhang should not be blinded by the surface of the matter. There are many details and filth under the surface of this matter. His Majesty will definitely deal with it impartially. Whoever is innocent or who is guilty will naturally have a fair statement. So, please ask Marshal Zhang to wait a while later, and when everything is revealed, Marshal Zhang will naturally know the specifics."

Zhang Li was shocked when he heard this. He really didn't know that Ouyang Zheng had been imprisoned. He immediately looked at Xu Shida, as if he was going to kill someone, and scolded: "Xu Shida, you villain, what kind of slander have you made with Your Majesty? How can Ouyang Gong be imprisoned? The world is bright and the officials and the people are all, aren't you afraid that the world will poke your backbone?"

Xu Shida dared not look at Zhang Li's murderous look. He hurriedly avoided his eyes and said, "Mr. Zhang, right and wrong, have their own opinions. I am loyal, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Everything I do is for the country and the country. When the truth is revealed, Mars. Zhang will know that today is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Do you want to die? I will fulfill you today." Zhang Li was already furious. He never expected that Ouyang Zheng would be imprisoned. Zhang Li had already been blamed on Xu Shida. Zhang Li's anger towards Xu Shida was not just starting today. From Xu Shida's recommendation to him to lead troops in the border town, and then Xu Shida took the emperor's sword to point fingers in the military camp, Zhang Li had already been very angry with Xu Shida. If it weren't for Zhang Li's real battle formation like Zong Qing, Xu Shida would have suffered countless hardships under Zhang Li.

Today, Zhang Li is already unbearable. He even has to draw his sword while speaking. He can only kill him quickly and not be angry. He is angry that even Ouyang Zheng can frame him. What is the purpose of such a person still staying in the court?

"Bold!" A shout of scolding like a bell stopped Zhang Li's movements, and another sentence: "How dare you draw your sword in the hall?"

Zhang Li looked up at Wei Ershisan who was talking, and had to stuff the half-pulled knife back and forth into the sheath, and his steps were back and forth, panting like a cow. His eyes were still staring at Xu Shida, and the cold light was flashing.

Xu Shida, who was already scared and retreated repeatedly, saw Zhang Li put the knife back and said quickly: "Marrior Zhang, there are so many misunderstandings between you and me. Xu Wenyuan is provoking them from it. You must resolve these misunderstandings in the future. You and I are all dedicated to the public. If you want to work together, how can you be like water and fire?"

Zhang Li sneered, took his eyes back, and looked up at Xia Rui. When Xia Gan was in the dynasty, how could Zhang Li dare to look at the emperor so directly? Zhang Li never looked at the emperor in his life. In addition to being loyal, Zhang Li was respectful, or had some fear.

But for some reason, Zhang Li seemed to have less respect and fear of the emperor on the stage at this time.

Perhaps it is a saying that if a person wants to be respected, he must first respect himself. Respect is always won, not obtained by status.

Xia Rui was not only stared at by Zhang Li, but also by Xu Jie for a long time. He was already staring at him and felt uncomfortable all over. He was a little embarrassed and angry when he was staring. Xia Rui stood up directly from the seat and said, "Zhang Li, don't make unreasonable things here and be arrogant because of his merits. Of course, the matter will come to the Privy Council first and hand over the seal of the handsome seal, go home and wait. If you have a few days of morning court, you will have your own opinions."

After saying that, Xia Rui got up and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, another person ran in at the gate of the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!!"

Xia Rui stopped hearing this, and asked with an unhappy look on his face, "What's wrong? What's the matter? What's the point?"

The visitor stopped, first went to pay homage, then looked at Xu Shida, obviously this person knew Xu Shida, and then looked at the people around him, but he stopped what he wanted to say.

"If you have something to do, say it, leave when you have nothing to do. Where can I have the time to hesitate with you?" Xia Rui obviously really wanted to leave here and leave the situation at this time.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, can you allow me to have a few private talks with Your Majesty?" The visitor said again.

Xia Rui was already angry and waved his hand: "What's the matter? What else is shameful?"

The man heard Xia Rui's angry words, was shocked, and looked at Xu Shida again, and hesitated: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Ouyang Gong... Ouyang Zheng... He is he, he is..."

Xu Jie was already shocked, walked over a few steps, grabbed the man's arm, and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong with Mr. Ouyang?"

The man's arm hurts and he quickly said, "Ouyang Zheng, he is dead, Your Majesty..."

"What? What did you say?" Xu Jie seemed to feel that he had heard it wrong.

Xia Rui on the stage heard this and turned around, took two steps to the steps, and asked, "Is Ouyang Zheng dead? How did he die? Beheaded? Suicide?" "Your Majesty, it was not beaten to death. Yesterday's punishment was not serious, but it was all flesh and blood, and his injuries could be checked. Your Majesty clearly observed that Ouyang Zheng committed suicide, hanging his belt on the beam, committing suicide, committing suicide. I dare not say a lie, Ouyang Zheng really committed suicide. "This person obviously knows that the matter is important, and he also knows that he must make it clear at this time, seeking good luck and avoiding danger, and he must not cause trouble.

Xu Jie really heard it clearly, and could hear it clearly.

Then he saw Xu Jie pushing the man back, and he didn't even look at the man rolling down on the ground. He slowly turned his head, his eyes were like a wolf, his teeth were clenched, and his hands were already on the hilt of the knife, staring at the man on the platform, who was under the plaque of Rende Dalong.

Wei Ersan had already felt a sharp momentum. He was coming from the shop. Knowing that something was wrong, he quickly scolded: "Xu Wenyuan, no! No!"

The scolding sounds, with a tone of persuasion, seemed to be comforting.

’The big thing was not good, and even Zhang Li knew that the big thing was not good, so he quickly turned to look at Xu Jie.

It seemed that Xia Rui knew that something was wrong, and his body stepped back unconsciously. A kind of fear lingered in his heart. His eyes even looked left and right, looking at where Wei Ersan was, where Wei Jiu was, and where the golden armored guards were by the corridor.

Only Xu Shida seemed to be unable to feel the danger, but instead seemed to smile a little in an instant. This matter was really a good thing for him. No matter what, Ouyang Zheng died and Ouyang Zheng died was the best thing for him. In the court, there was no such a mountain pressing against him.

Wei Jiu's words echoed in the air: "Xu Wenyuan, think twice before acting, never!"
