In just a few words, the two prime ministers of the country have agreed to have negotiated the transaction.

Han Zhong's promise would not retaliate with great fanfare, and would not hold back if necessary, but would not make the emperor and the officials uneasy.

The main responsibility is of course to the dead. Liu Zhiyuan is a good target for the ready-made one, and the emperor will not object.

This is why Liu Zhiyuan immediately changed when he died.

Xu Xiashang's promise was that Xu Zi would stay in Beijing first, so that the emperor would rather choose to break with Han Zhong. Han Zhong and Xu Xiashang could not afford this consequence.

Although Han Zhong is so majestic here in the palace gate, the emperor really wants to make trouble and he will not hesitate to break up his court. Han Zhong's fate will be dead and will not be buried.

The reign of Taizu, the prime minister is not allowed to be a Privy Councillor, which makes sense.

Another emperor summoned Wang Tong, Deng Ming, Yue Zhi, Li Enmao and others to enter the army, which was an obvious signal.

If it really makes a fuss to the point of dispatching the imperial guards, it will be apart.

Of course, Han Zhong also promised to give Xu Zixian a generous reward, but was blocked by Xu Xiashang. Han Zhong meant to be the Duke of Xu Zixian, but Xu Xiashang felt that it was a little bit of a force to grow.

The real reason is not to anger the emperor too much.

He was arbitrarily killed the officials and was rewarded as the Duke of the State. Where did the emperor look?

Xu Zi first had the ability and courage, and then was granted the title of Duke. If he made any more contributions, the court should reward him with the title of king.

If the emperor still has no heir in a few years, who among the royal family can compete with Xu Zixian?

Both prime ministers arrived, Privy Councilor Zhang Guangen, Deputy Inspector He Yan and Li Guorui arrived, and the chief minister Ren Zhonglin also arrived. Many prime ministers arrived at the Nei East Gate, so Li Jian naturally did not dare to stop him. He ordered the guards to make way for the way. The prime ministers followed Han Zhong and entered together.

There were many officials holding halberds along the way, but Han Zhong looked unafraid. When he arrived outside the small hall of the inner east gate, everyone was waiting for the emperor to see him.

The Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty is prohibited, and the Daqing Hall is used in the Great Court Club. It has the largest system and is not crowded even if it accommodates more than a thousand dynasties.

When the emperor usually cuts off national affairs, he is in Xuanzheng Hall.

If you meet the ministers and meet the prime minister, you will probably be in the small hall of the inner east gate.

The emperor in the inner palace is Funing Palace.

There is also Jiqing Hall, which is a place to summon new Jinshi, and it is not used when it is normal.

The Emperor’s Forbidden Garden, the Western Garden and the Nan Garden are all filled with water and mountains, and are the places where the Emperor usually visits Yanju.

The palaces and gardens are connected together, forming a magnificent and vast group of forbidden gardens without losing the scenery of mountains and water. Many eunuchs, concubines, and of course the emperor live in them. There are more than a hundred names of the palaces and pavilions alone, and there are probably more than ten thousand houses.

But the small hall of the inner east gate is quite ordinary, and it can even be said to be quite frugal and even simple.

The hall is not high, only as high as the houses of ordinary families. The three-bay hall only accommodates a dozen people to discuss matters. The place is quite narrow, with only one floor of the hall stairs. You can walk up. Compared to the Daqing Hall, which has as many as a hundred levels of the hall stairs, this small hall is really true.

There are several earth slopes around the hall, with crops such as fruits and vegetables planted, and a few thatched huts are built, which look like ordinary farm villages.

Outside the palace, more than a hundred Yulin Lang officials stood, and voices came from the hall. A moment later, an eunuch asked the priest to join in.

Han Zhong did not hesitate and went straight in.

An eunuch sang a poem: "The prime minister is here, please ask the emperor to stand up for the prime minister."

The emperor who was sitting on the official hat and chair had already stood up, and Han Zhong bowed and returned the ceremony.

This is an honor that only the left prime minister has. This has been the etiquette since Taizu first worshipped the prime minister.

Many generals of the military in charge stood on both sides of the emperor wearing graded martial robes.

The emperor, who was in his thirties, had a dark blue eyes, looked dull, was not tall, and was quite thin, and he looked like a monarch.

In the past, the emperor had his own dignity, but today Han Zhong looked at him, and his eyes were quite frivolous. He seemed to have not had a good sleep all night, and his eyes were covered with blood.

"But that's it." Han Zhong muttered softly again, and his contempt for the emperor became stronger.

But Han Zhong's eyes were still slightly red and he said in a deep voice: "The king and his ministers are suspicious, and even the capital was in trouble last night. I was eager to see Your Majesty at home. If Your Majesty still doubts me, I am willing to surrender the country's laws."

After saying that, Han Zhong took off the head of Zhan Zuo and knelt on the ground.

Xu Xiashang also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty should not believe rumors easily. I will never keep Xu Zicheng. Xu Zi is in the capital first. Please let Your Majesty observe clearly."

Li Guorui knelt down without a crown, but did not say a word.

The envoy He Yan knelt down and said, "The left prime minister was good at killing ministers with letters from the church. The intention of not being a minister is obvious. Please punish him for his crimes."

Han Zhong turned to He Yan and said sternly: "Liu Zhiyuan colluded with the royal family to plot against him, and his crimes cannot be punished. Last night, the Lord suspected the country. If he kept dealing with it, Xu Zicheng, Duke of Wu, would have entered the great internal affairs today!"

After saying that, Han Zhong turned to the emperor again and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty believes in the rumors of Liu Zhiyuan, thinking that my ministers and others have bad intentions. However, I have no collusion with the royal family. However, the Duke of Wu Xu Zicheng sneaked into the government residence late at night and was captured last night. Now, he is still in the residence of Liu Zhiyuan and is besieged by Lang Wei. If your Majesty does not believe it, please arrest Duke of Wu Xu Zicheng and besieged in the palace."

Xu Xiashang continued: "Xu Zi, the Marquis of Nan'an, did not want to spy on the throne. I also advised him to return to Fujian as soon as possible after locking the hall and taking the exam. Before Your Majesty takes on the major event, he should call me and others to report to the palace in person. However, Your Majesty did not have such intentions. He believed the words of one or two people. I regretted your Majesty very much!"

Everyone did not think it was strange that Xu Xiashang's status and identity in the royal family spoke in this tone of scolding the emperor in person.

The emperor's face was already quite embarrassed, and he said to everyone: "You guys have gotten up and talked. I have been negligent in this matter. I am blinded by Liu Zhiyuan. I feel sorry for regret."

Han Zhong and others stood up one after another, and the emperor said, "Liu Zhiyuan's crimes are not allowed to be forgiven. The left prime minister ordered Nan'an to surround and kill him with a letter from the hall. It was inconsistent with the system. He should be fined Qianjin, dismissed from the Secretariat, and exempted from the three corpses of Kaifu Yitong, and promoted the Duke of the State to Duke Lai. Liu Zhiyuan's crimes were presided over by the right prime minister, and he would be punished with the crimes of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. Xu Zicheng, Duke of Wu, did not need to be taken into the palace, so he was sentenced to death in Liu Zhiyuan's mansion and took Lieutenant Li Jian."

If Xu Zicheng is not arrested, the emperor is unwilling to reveal the dispute over the throne to the world, which makes the royal family panic or more ambitious people appear. It is better to directly impose death, which is attributed to Liu Zhiyuan's major case of rebellion.

This kind of decision is obvious. After all, the emperor has been in charge of the country for more than ten years, so he still has the ability to make decisions.

The priests had nothing to say, He Yan's face was as white as the earth, Li Guorui looked as usual, Ren Zhonglin was not concerned, and he looked indifferent, but it was conceivable that in the following years, many priests could only rely on Han Zhong.

Only Xu Xiashang smiled bitterly, and the emperor would probably not let him go in the next one or two years.

The emperor would not be relieved if the government was entrusted to Han Zhong. The emperor would certainly not be relieved. The court had to be guarded by an old minister like Xu Xiashang, so that Han Zhong's power would not expand to the point where the emperor could not sleep.

"The court should be quiet," the emperor said to Han Zhong with an ugly expression: "The matter of the Northern Expedition is important, and the court's power should not be consumed too much."

"Please rest assured by your Majesty." Han Zhong said: "The Liu Zhiyuan party miserables can go out except for a few arrests. I will preside over the plan of the Northern Expedition quickly and will not disappoint your Majesty."

The biggest reason why the emperor could keep Han Zhong and did not want to break up the court was to complete the achievements of the Northern Expedition.

This is the most concerned and most important thing that the emperor is concerned about whether the Great Wei can revive and get rid of the invasion of the Donghu people.

Han Zhong had this guarantee, and the emperor looked much more beautiful, and said, "The left prime minister was old and conscientious. Under the leadership of his minister, the Northern Expedition will surely be successful."

Han Zhong said solemnly: "I had opposed the Northern Expedition before, so I did not want this major event to be presided over by Liu Zhiyuan. Now that your Majesty is trustworthy, I will do my best to do my best to make money, grain, soldiers, generals, and soldiers, and make detailed preparations to Your Majesty at any time."

"Good." The emperor didn't say anything more. People's hearts are not yet determined, and it is not the time to talk about the military and national affairs in detail.

The emperor had nothing to say, so the priests bowed and bowed and withdrew. How to clean up the mess afterwards was Han Zhong's business.

Shortly after the priest withdrew, an inner envoy came out of the inner east gate and rode his horse to Liu Zhiyuan's mansion, obviously to kill Xu Zicheng, Duke of Wu.

Not only did Xu Zicheng die, he would definitely be deprived of his title, and he would also suffer his sons. Most of the Duke of Wu could retain it, and he should have chosen one from Xu Zicheng's brothers and nephews.

After all, the descendants of the Wenzong dynasty who had committed a rebellion and seized the title were not good-looking, and Xu Zicheng would undoubtedly die. Most of his sons were deprived of their status as a royal family and exiled, and then they chose someone from the Duke of Wu to inherit the title. This matter would be over.

"This fool really lost his life in vain..." Han Zhong narrowed his eyes and looked at the speeding envoy who was racing away, and sighed, thinking of himself. If it weren't for Xu Zixian and Wang Zhi, he would probably be that his body would be cold now.

He looked at He Xiannong not far away. Of course, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor was washed out of Beijing in the first round. The primate was precious and had already died. He Qiyuan was released and placed in a high-ranking military state. He also had the title of Jiedushi, so he asked him to retire in advance, and there was no need to build a prison again.

However, there were some middle and lower-level generals, plus the charge of greed, who were exempted from one group of officials, locked up a group of officials, and then let some middle and lower-level officials go out, and it would be almost done.

Han Zhong called out Li Guorui not far away and said in an undisguised tone: "I have always admired the civil and military talents of Guanzhong. Although Liu Zhiyuan died, the Northern Expedition was still to be carried out. As the position of commander, who can still hold this position in Guanzhong?"

Li Guorui said: "If my husband thinks he is available, of course he has no choice."

Li Guorui had no plans to be modest in this matter. If the country had something to do, of course he would not be willing to stay out of the matter with his personality. Moreover, once the Northern Expedition, in addition to sending troops to the Beijing camp, the main force would be the Hebei Imperial Army, mainly the garrison of Hebei East Road and Jizhou Town. Most of these troops were old subordinates sent by Li Guorui, and Li Guorui would not be relieved to ask others to take them to waste battles. Ordinary head coaches appointed generals and used soldiers to preserve the strength of their old subordinates and asked other troops to fight tough battles. If Li Guorui was modest and sent other head coaches, the subordinates he had accumulated over the years would probably be left.
