The first day of April is the day when the New Year's Eve Meeting is held.

The so-called Shuowang Dynasty Meeting means that the court holds a meeting on the first day of the first lunar month and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. All civil and military officials are present. Ministers who usually have nothing to do also come to see the emperor. It is more formal than the "five-day meeting".

The court meeting is second only to the big court meeting at the beginning of the year.

This system started from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was followed through the generations.

However, it was impossible for everyone to participate in a serious discussion of the Eight Classics. Therefore, such court meetings were generally just a formality. The main content was to kowtow, and then it was convenient for the emperor to meet officials whom he could not usually see.

Of course, the Shuowang Dynasty Meeting sometimes held affairs, and issued some decisions that had already been announced, such as "amnesty for the world", "canonization of officials and titles", etc. The sense of ceremony was greater than the practicality.

So in this kind of situation, what everyone mainly cares about is whether the behavior is appropriate and not to be disrespectful. As for the content, few people really care.

There is a process for the Shuowang court meeting, and everyone is like a puppet on a string, carrying out one item after another.

When he saw the final cut and it was about to end, Li Jue suddenly walked out of the queue and said loudly: "I have the original performance."

This kind of unprepared report rarely appeared, so Li Jue immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Liu Xie looked at Li Jue with a smile on his face. Although he didn't like Li Jue, when facing Li Jue, he pretended to be very good and looked like an emperor.

"Let me speak, General Chariot and Cavalry."

Li Jue was a powerful warrior. Although he held a wat tablet, it was of no use at all. He directly said: "There are some matters related to Hongnong's concubine, and I hope to report them to the emperor."

Hearing Li Jue mention his brother who died young, Liu Xie still had a smile on his face.

"Oh, what does it have to do with my brother? But General Chariot needs to know that Tang Fei has been named Princess Hongnong by me, and Li Ru was the commander of Prince Hongnong and forced to kill my brother. Although he did not incriminate me, I did.

If you don’t want to use him, if it’s these two things, General Chariot and Cavalry won’t mention it.”

There are two old events related to Li Jue and King Hongnong.

One is that Liu Bian's concubine Tang Ji returned to her hometown Yingchuan County after Liu Bian's death. After Li Jue conquered Chang'an, he sent troops to plunder the Guandong region and captured Tang Ji. He wanted to marry her, but Tang Ji refused.

Later, Jia Xu found out about this and reported it to the emperor. Liu Xie then issued an edict to bring Tang Ji back and sent his attendants to confer Tang Jijie on the title of Princess Hongnong.

The other incident was that Li Jue offered Dr. Li Ru as his minister, but Liu Xie refused because "Li Ru killed Liu Bian".

These two incidents are not a good thing, and they are also a blow to Li Jue's prestige. At this time, Liu Xie mentioned the two incidents, but he deliberately wanted to disgust Li Jue.

But Li Jue said with a smile: "Of course I don't want to mention old things. What I want to say today is that King Hongnong Huai is still alive."

As soon as Li Jue said his words, it was astonishing and shocked everyone.

Liu Xie was even more stunned and immediately reprimanded: "General Chariot and Cavalry, this is a great dynasty, so you can't talk nonsense."

Li Jue didn't take Liu Xie's threat seriously at all. Instead, he showed a ferocious expression and said with a smile: "Does the emperor not want King Hongnong Huai to be alive?"

Li Jue's words were like strangling Liu Xie's neck, leaving Liu Xie speechless immediately.

When Ma Rixi saw this, he came forward and said: "Li Cheqi, don't talk nonsense. King Hongnong Huai has been dead for four years and has already become a scholar. How can he still be alive?"

"Then what I said was that the body buried was not the body of King Hongnong Huai?"

After everyone heard this, they all looked at each other in shock.

At this time, Li Jue said again: "Actually, none of us saw what happened at that time. We just heard that King Hongnong Huai was dead, so we just assumed that he was dead. Is that really the case? What actually happened that day?

Only Dr. Li Ru, who saw it with his own eyes, knows it best."

At this time, Li Shen, who was lagging behind the crowd, also took the initiative to step forward and report everything to everyone one by one according to their needs.

After Li Shen finished speaking, everyone's expressions and demeanor were different. They were all shocked and shocked. No one thought that King Hongnong, who had been dead for several years, would have such a version of the story.

At this time, the emperor above was so horrified that he could not speak, but Ma Rixi was still awake and knew that it was impossible to distinguish the authenticity from the words of the two of them, so he asked again: "Since King Hongnong has not died, where is he now?

"

Li Jue said: "Please allow the emperor to allow me to escort you into the palace."

"well!"

After all, Liu Xie was young. Although he was scheming, at this moment, he was already confused. Because no one knew better than him what it meant for his brother to be alive.

Not long after, one of Li Jue's guards was led to the palace. At this time, Li Shen stepped forward, took off his helmet, pulled up his hair that covered his face, and wiped the dust off his face. This person was Liu Bian.

At this time, Ding Chong, the attendant in the palace, suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty."

Then several more people, like Ding Chong, knelt on the ground and shouted "Your Majesty!"

Li Shen stepped forward, took Liu Bian's hand, walked to Ma Rixi and said: "Taifu, you have met King Hongnong. Please take a look and see if this person is King Hongnong."

When Liu Bian was deposed, he was already seventeen years old and considered a mature man among the people, so his current appearance and appearance have not changed much from those before.

Ma Rixi recognized Liu Bian immediately, but he knew very well that Liu Bian's appearance would be subversive to the stability of the court. Once Liu Bian's identity was recognized, everything would become uncertain, so he simply

Dare not admit it.

Ma Rixi had to pretend that his eyes were dim and tears were streaming from his eyes, but he seemed not to be able to see the other person clearly.

Li Shen knew what the other party was thinking, and immediately pulled Liu Bian to the side of Taiwei Zhu Jun.

Compared with others, Zhu Jun's attitude is much more direct.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhu Jun joined He Jin and served successively as the governor of Hanoi County, the captain of the city gate, and the Yin of Henan Province. He even launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo, so from the bottom of his heart, he supported Liu Bian more.

So Zhu Jun immediately fell to the ground and cried bitterly and said: "My lord, Zhu Jun, pay homage to your Majesty."

Zhu Jun's words had the final word.

With Zhu Jun taking the lead, more people came forward to pay homage to Liu Bian.

Yang Biao and others did not want to acknowledge Liu Bian, but at this moment, in this scene, they did not dare to say anything for fear of getting burned.

This is why Li Shen wanted to reveal Liu Bian's identity at the court meeting.

Because Liu Xie and Yang Biao had time to operate on the sidelines, it was not impossible to mistake a deer for a horse and white for black.

But only at the court meeting, in front of all civil and military officials, could the truth be revealed. As long as someone recognized Liu Bian, it would not be easy for Liu Xie and others to deny it.

After all, there are too many people who know Liu Bian. Unless everyone denies it, Yang Biao and others will not deny it for the sake of reputation.

And as long as Liu Bian's identity is confirmed today, the matter will be settled.

At this time, Li Shen took Liu Bian's hand again and looked at Liu Xie.

"Let's see, Emperor, is this man King Hongnong?"

Li Shen wants to kill people and punish his heart.
