Taking a deep breath, Zhu Jinzhong looked at Mu Yan who was smiling and said nothing, and quickly informed Xia Yifeng in the room of Mu Yan's arrival.
Mu Yan quickly walked into the imperial study, making Zhu Jinzhong stand there thoughtfully. He lowered his head and thought for a long time. It seemed that the emperor was really ready to take action. There must be a big commotion in the court soon. But
What Zhu Jinzhong didn't expect was that the emperor would arrange for Mu Yan to do this, and the first person to deal with it would be Taiwei Liu Shousi
When Mu Yan walked into the room, the first thing he did was to mercilessly put Liu Shousi down on the ground and dust himself off. Mu Yan walked to the table in the study, propped his hands on the table, and looked down at Xia Yifeng.
, said: "You decide what to do with what people have brought to you."
"Nothing unexpected happened?" Xia Yifeng looked at Mu Yan intently and asked in a low voice.
"No, it went smoothly." Mu Yan turned around and sat in the chair, and leaned on the back of the chair throughout the whole process of talking to Xia Yifeng. Mu Yan stared at Xia Yifeng with twinkling eyes, watching Xia Yifeng feel relieved after lowering his head in silence for a moment.
With a smile, Mu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"In my opinion, it's Xiao Yan'er who is worrying too much." Xia Yifeng stood up and walked to Mu Yan's side, pulled Mu Yan up and then sat down on the seat where Mu Yan was sitting just now, letting Mu Yan sit on his
on legs
Holding Mu Yan in her arms, Xia Yifeng said quietly: "I think Yun Qingshan came to Liu Shousi just to take advantage of him. Now Yun Qingshan has reached the point where she will use whatever means she can to take advantage of anyone she can."
She will let go, but once the person he takes advantage of has no use value, she will not risk stepping into this muddy water. If I guessed correctly, Yun Qingshan should have gotten what she wanted from Liu Shousi, so even if Liu Shousi
She is dead and has nothing to do with her. The last failure has taught Yun Qingshan a lesson. If he is not fully prepared this time, I think Yun Qingshan will never show up to deal with us easily."
What is what Yun Qingshan wants to get?
Mu Yan frowned as he listened to Xia Yifeng's words. He looked at Xia Yifeng in confusion and thought for a moment. Mu Yan asked, "Liu Shousi, what are you going to do? Execution in public, detention for a period of time first, or whether you don't know what to do now."
Kill him without anyone noticing?"
"Ye Chang Meng Duo, since we have prepared to get rid of him, there is no reason to let him live any longer. Besides, Xiao Yan'er, you should also have obtained favorable news from him, otherwise you would not have brought him to me so generously.
Isn't it?"
Xia Yifeng seemed to have seen through Mu Yan and said with an evil smile. Mu Yan snorted in dissatisfaction. Mu Yan leaned lazily in Xia Yifeng's arms and listened to Xia Yifeng continue to finish his words.
"As for whether to execute him publicly or to deal with it secretly, I haven't thought about it yet. If the dignified captain disappears out of thin air, it will definitely cause everyone to panic. It can only take a day or two. If he can't be found, it will definitely make people suspicious."
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to kill him and then frame Yun Qingshan for the blame?" Mu Yan curled his lips and gave Xia Yifeng some advice, "The reason why Yun Qingshan came to Liu Shousi was to let him incite everyone in the court to fight against you.
As an enemy, Yun Qingshan may not have seen other people in person, nor did he have the time, so he killed Liu Shousi and claimed that it was Yun Qingshan who did it. There was nothing unjustifiable about the commotion some time ago. Many people had seen Yun Qingshan and Murong Xuanyuan.
Murong Qingyun was arrested by us, and it has been widely spread. Yun Qingshan wanted to take revenge on you, so he killed Liu Shousi, the most important minister in the court, to give you a piece of advice to the emperor. This is a good reason, isn't it?
"
Xia Yifeng sat quietly in the chair, stroking Mu Yan's long hair slowly and gently. Listening to Mu Yan's talk, Xia Yifeng smiled and nodded, gesturing for her to continue talking.
"I have asked Zhou Yiruo to use Zhu Youshu to ask Liu Shousi. If the list of people who are in the same camp as him is not as expected, they should all be senior ministers with senior experience. If
If you really want to take this opportunity to get rid of them in one fell swoop, then use Yun Qingshan as a cover to do it as soon as possible."
"What else? Is there anything else you want to say?" Xia Yifeng narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Mu Yan's serious expression, and asked with a smile.
"Also, Liu Yiyi and Xiao Ziluo, shouldn't you also express your feelings?" Mu Yan got rid of Xia Yifeng's arms, stood up straight, and stared into Xia Yifeng's eyes, "The two of them have expressed their feelings for you.
You should be aware of loyalty. If you continue like this, you will undoubtedly lose two loyal subordinates, which is not worth it."
"You don't hate her?" Xia Yifeng was a little surprised by Mu Yan's words. "If it were Yan'er in the past, he would never have told me this, but would have learned about Liu Yiyi's life by himself."
"Killing too many people will become boring. Besides, Liu Yiyi still has value, I don't want to kill her." Mu Yan took a step back, distanced himself from Xia Yifeng and said, "I have already looked for them both.
Well, after you have said everything you need to say, what should you do with the rest? You know better than me that this is a special period and you should focus on the overall situation."
Mu Yan turned around and her eyes fell on the table full of memorials. Under the dim candlelight, Mu Yan really felt that the memorials made her extremely depressed.
Looking sideways and meeting Xia Yifeng's eyes, Mu Yan smiled bitterly and asked: "Is the throne really so tempting? Why do so many people risk their lives to sit on this seat? Even you, who has always been smart,
is also like this"
"Is the throne...?" Xia Yifeng murmured to himself, repeating Mu Yan's words and shifting his gaze.
Ever since he became the emperor, Xia Yifeng has not been suppressed by invisible pressure every day. He doesn't want to immerse himself in dealing with those things all day long. He also misses the days when he used to travel around.
But……
His eyes returned to Mu Yan. Xia Yifeng looked at the woman in front of him who was pretending to be a man. He often felt at a loss and suddenly smiled.
However, in order to protect the things you value from being peeped by others, you must have enough strength and rights to take them away.
"You don't understand." Xia Yifeng whispered three words to Mu Yan, then stood up, rubbed Mu Yan's hair and hugged Mu Yan. Xia Yifeng walked towards the door and said, "It's getting late, we can't
It’s time to go back and rest.”
"What about him?" Mu Yan pointed at Liu Shousi on the ground and asked
Xia Yifeng's eyes darkened, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes. He immediately let go of Mu Yan's body. Xia Yifeng strode up to Liu Shousi, leaned over and pulled him up.
With his back to Mu Yan, Xia Yifeng suddenly took out a dagger, and without much thought, he ended Liu Shousi's life with one blow.
Blood spurted out from Liu Shousi's throat and splashed on Xia Yifeng's clothes. He threw away Liu Shousi's body. Xia Yifeng frowned and lowered his head, looked at his clothes, sighed sadly, and complained: "It's dirty again...
"
Mu Yan looked at the dagger in Xia Yifeng's hand and felt that it looked familiar. After looking at it carefully for a few times, he recognized that it was the dagger he was carrying!
Recalling the scene just now, Mu Yan understood that Xia Yifeng had already made some small moves when he was holding him on the chair, and had the intention to execute Liu Shousi.
"Let's go" Xia Yifeng smiled at Mu Yan, and then walked out first and opened the door. Xia Yifeng looked at Zhu Jinzhong who was guarding the door and ordered softly: "Take care of the inside for me."
"Slave, I obey." Zhu Jinzhong looked at the blood on Xia Yifeng and was shocked. He knew that Liu Shousi was probably dead. He watched Xia Yifeng and Mu Yan leave side by side. When Zhu Jinzhong entered the room, he saw Liu Shousi lying in a pool of blood.
When, he shook his head helplessly and sighed heavily
Thinking about Liu Shousi's life, it can be said that it was full of glory, but who would have thought that at the last moment, he would miss the mark and play the wrong chess to go against the emperor and Mu Yan. Zhu Jinzhong had stayed in the palace for so many years and had seen the emperor.
Many people have experienced ups and downs, but Zhu Jinzhong still has to feel fear and admiration for the behavior of Xia Yifeng and Mu Yan.
The reason why he stays loyally by Xia Yifeng's side is not because of other reasons, but because Zhu Jinzhong is extremely aware of Xia Yifeng's terror! He dare not disobey Xia Yifeng, let alone betray Xia Yifeng, because he knows what kind of misery it will be if he does this.
as a result of!
Zhu Jinzhong looked at Liu Shousi in front of him, and suddenly remembered Han Binning who had just entered the palace and smiled bitterly. Zhu Jinzhong began to deal with Liu Shousi's body, but in his heart, he felt sad for Han Binning...
One night passed, and at the morning court the next morning, Liu Shousi's absence caused the ministers in the hall to start discussing. Because Liu Shousi had been an official for so many years, no matter whether it was windy, rainy or sick or feverish, he never failed to attend the morning court.
!But what happened today?
Han Shoulin lowered his head and thought carefully about the situation when he went to the Taiwei's Mansion last night. Han Shoulin had to suspect that Liu Shousi had disappeared at that time!
Where will Liu Shousi go? What happened?
Han Shoulin carefully made it look like he didn't know anything, and then, like everyone else, he anxiously and uneasily talked about Liu Shousi's whereabouts.
The noisy hall returned to calm the moment Xia Yifeng appeared. Everyone shut their mouths, knelt down, and greeted Xia Yifeng's arrival. They shouted loudly and uniformly, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." When they got
After Xia Yifeng stood up, she heard Xia Yifeng ask a question
