Zuo Yan stood in the middle of the hall and saluted Emperor Li Ang.

This ceremony made Li Ang very comfortable and "flat."

"My minister Zuo Yan, thank you Your Majesty." Zuo Yan asked a slight sentence, straightened his bent waist with a firm look on his face, and was not afraid of the hostile gazes of the officials standing in the court.

Zuo Yan was appointed by Li Yan and returned to Beijing to report his duties on behalf of Li Yan, the King of Ying.

How could he care about these officials?

If he was afraid or cared about it, Zuo Yan would not return to Beijing.

Besides.

Zuo Yan knew in his heart that these officials were thinking of ways to kill his master Li Yan at all times.

As long as Li Yan falls, he will not be considered an official, but may be implicated, or even be imprisoned or exiled.

after all.

These officials of the court said that Li Yan wanted to proclaim himself king.

Of course Zuo Yan knew what it means to establish himself as a king.

If this crime is convicted.

Li Yan's fate must be death.

As the chief secretary of the Ying Prince's Mansion, Zuo Yan had long known all the major crimes of the Tang Dynasty.

The crime of self-esteem.

If it were at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it might have been more lenient, demoted to common people, and then exiled.

This is not the beginning of the founding of the Tang Kingdom, but now it is the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

In the era when eunuchs were in power and court officials were vassals.

As long as Li Yan is convicted, Li Ang, as the emperor, probably cannot suppress this crime.

He will inevitably be killed by officials and eunuchs.

After Li Ang received a gift from Zuo Yan, he looked at Zuo Yan and wanted to ask questions.

Just when Zuo Yan was about to ask questions, Li Zongmin started talking first, "Zuo Changshi, can you ask if you are assigned by Li Yan this time to return to Beijing, or will you return to Beijing to report your work?"

When Li Zongmin asked, Li Ang pricked up his ears and wanted to hear how Zuo Yan explained it.

Not to mention that Li Ang pricked his ears, even the officials of the dynasty, as well as the small officials in the halls or outside the halls, all raised their ears, wanting to hear what Zuo Yan would explain.

"Li Xianggui is the prime minister of our dynasty. I think he is also an extremely intelligent person. Why should I ask about this?" Zuo Yan saw Li Zongmin suddenly speaking, and knew that this person was uneasy.

As early as when he was in Xichuan, he heard that the court had been attacking Li Yan, and Li Zongmin danced the most happily.

and.

Zuo Yan even knew that the matter of saying that Li Yan wanted to become king in Nanzhao was the first to be the one Li Zongmin in front of him.

If it weren't for Li Zongmin's first choice, no one would have said that Li Yan, the master of Zuo Yan, would have made himself king in Nanzhao.

Zuo Yan's answer finally pushed Li Zongmin back.

Zuo Yan believes.

Although Li Zongmin was the prime minister, he was not qualified to call a prince's name.

Li Zongmin called Li Yan his name directly, which was very disrespectful.

Naturally, Zuo Yan was naturally unhappy and unhappy about what Li Zongmin asked.

When Zuo Yan was not satisfied with this, his response was relatively sharper. After his words were made, all the officials of the dynasty felt that Zuo Yan, as the chief minister of the Ying Prince's Mansion, dared to respond with such words when facing the questioning of a prime minister.

From Zuo Yan's words, everyone heard some tit-for-tat meaning.

And at this time.

After Zuo Yan's words came out, Li Zongmin responded, and he was not right.

As expected, it means that Li Zongmin is not smart, maybe he is just a fool.

No, he started his words. If it ended here, it would not give everyone the feeling that Li Zongmin had fallen into Zuo Yan.

Moreover, even if he is Li Zongmin or not, it means that Li Zongmin is a fool.

Therefore, Li Zongmin also began to have great hostility towards Zuo Yan.

Li Zongmin, who could not respond, immediately winked at Wang Fan not far away.

Wang Fan, who was promoted to the prefect of Jingzhao, stood up with a clear look from Li Zongmin, and said, "Zuo Changshi, what Li Xiang meant is to ask, Your Highness Ying has already received the order, so he should let Your Highness Ying return to Beijing. Why did you send you back?"

As soon as Wang Fan's words came out.

There was a look of displeasure in Li Zongmin's eyes.

Li Zongmin's original intention was to use Wang Fan's mouth to get himself down from the embarrassing steps.

But unexpectedly.

Wang Fan didn't understand Li Zongmin's look at all, and asked so directly.

He even bluntly said that it was Li Xiang's meaning.

All right.

Is Wang Fan a straightforward or has other ideas? Li Zongmin didn't understand, but when he heard Wang Fan's words, no one was happy.

For those who know Wang Fan, everyone can guess what he means by saying this.

after all.

Wang Fan seems to have a sign of being outspoken on the surface, but as long as you understand this person in depth, you will know that this person is not as simple as it seems.

Judging from the incident of Song Shenxi, we know that this person can do everything he can to seek official positions.

It can be said.

In order to achieve his own achievements, Wang Fan even dared to reveal the conspiracy between the emperor and Song Shenxi to Li Zongmin, Wang Shoucheng and others.

It can be seen that this person is a selfish person.

"The Prince of the Palace, what you asked, is it Li Xiang asked? If Li Xiang asked, shouldn't Li Xiang ask? When did your Prince of the Palace become a soundtrack for others? Could it be that the Prince of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the People's Republic of China choose another mountain gate?" Zuo Yan of course knew Wang Fan, and even knew that Wang Fan was promoted from the Minister of Personnel to the Prefecture of the Jingzhao last year due to Song Shenxi's recommendation.

From a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he was promoted to a third-rank prefectural prefect.

This is not a simple promotion, it is an promotion like a collapse.

After all, there are many officials from the fourth rank of the court, but there are very few officials from the third rank.

and.

As long as you are promoted to the third rank, you will inevitably be the head of a department and may even be the minister.

visible.

What will happen to Wang Fan in the future depends on whether the emperor still trusts him or not.

but.

At this time, it is probably impossible for Wang Fan to gain Li Ang’s trust.

after all.

Wang Fan betrayed Song Shenxi once. Although Li Ang knew that Song Shenxi was falsely accused and demoted to Chang'an, no one dared to mention this matter again, and even Li Ang just kept silent.

Therefore, Li Ang would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

But as Wang Fan, Li Ang naturally could not believe it anymore.

When Wang Fan was frowning with Li Zongmin's eyes, Zuo Yan's words pushed Wang Fan back.

Even in the end, he was mocked by Wang Fan for changing his family.

Last year, Wang Fan worked with Prime Minister Song Shenxi.

For his own future, Wang Fan brought Song Shenxi out of the capital and changed it to Li Zongmin's disciple.

Zuo Yan's sarcasm to choose another mountain gate directly made Wang Fan feel embarrassed and he didn't dare to look directly at Zuo Yan.

Zuo Yan saw whoever was in a position to be in the same state.

This also made the officials of the court look at each other, afraid of making a fool of themselves in the court, so they dared not stand up and ask Zuo Yan at will.

It's not a good thing to make a fool of yourself on the spot.

Even those eunuchs dared not stand up at will to offend a madman-like chief of the Ying Prince's Mansion.

Although no one understands why Zuo Yan is so aggressive.

But you will know after thinking about it carefully.

Although no one spoke up to Zuo Yan for questioning.

But Li Ang couldn't wait, "Left Chief Secretary, did Brother Yan see the imperial edict? Why didn't I see Brother Yan return to Beijing?"

What Li Ang asked was that the officials of the court breathed a sigh of relief, at least they didn't have to make a fool of themselves on the spot.
