Inside the Yangxin Hall, the atmosphere was solemn.

Emperor Long'an looked at Jia Qiang and asked in a voice like Bing Zhazi: "Jia Qiang, do you have anything to say?"

Jia Qiang said calmly: "Of course I have something to say."

Emperor Long'an sneered and said: "Okay, since you invited the madam into the palace, I will give you this honor."

After Jia Qiang thanked her, she turned to look at Li Yao and asked, "May I ask the second prince, if the Xue family's daughter enters the palace, will you vent your anger on her and abuse her?"

Li Yao snorted and said angrily: "Since you have entered my house, you are naturally mine, so how can you express your anger and abuse her?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Then do you hate me in your heart?"

Li Yao sneered and said: "How can I, a mere auxiliary Duke, dare to hate you, the first-class marquis of Ningguo Mansion?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Jia Qiang yelling angrily: "You still dare to lie! In front of the emperor and the queen, you actually dare to lie! You are simply hopeless!"

Li Yao was shocked by this inexplicable attack. He looked at Jia Qiang and said, "You... what are you talking about? What lies did I tell?"

Jia Qiang's eyes were sharp and she looked at Li Yao and asked: "I ask your highness once again, do you hate me in your heart? In front of my king and father, your royal father, can you tell me again, do you hate me?"

Li Yao's face turned pale and he opened his mouth. Finally, under Emperor Long'an's narrowed eyes, he gritted his teeth and said: "You have been disrespectful to me many times, of course I hate you!"

Then I saw that the eyes of Emperor Long'an and Queen Yin seemed to dim for a moment, and I suddenly panicked, as if they were wondering where they had made a mistake...

But how could Jia Qiang give him time to repent?

Jia Qiang said in an extremely calm tone: "Before I went to Jiangnan, I didn't know His Highness, and I didn't even have the slightest connection with him. It wasn't until I went to Jiangnan that I helped Banshan Gong and Lin Yanyuan to eradicate the evil-doing Bada. One of the salt merchants, Bai Shi, accidentally interrupted His Highness's silver nest and became involved with His Highness for the first time.

After returning to the capital, I was ordered to thoroughly investigate the serious case of Tianlang Village and the establishment of a powerful camp for rebellion. In order to alert the snake, I raided the Jinmen Tower. Before the raid, I didn't even know that it was His Highness's property. Who would have thought that this filthy place where people are trafficked, good girls are forced into prostitution, and people are set up to gamble and ruin their families, would be His Highness’s business!

As the saying goes: Cutting off a person's financial path leads to irreconcilability! This is true, and His Highness also has reason to hate his ministers.

But Your Highness, I am on official business and following orders from the emperor!

There is not even the slightest personal grudge or selfish dispute between the minister and His Highness!

Your Highness, you are not an ordinary commoner. You are the son of the Emperor and a member of the Heavenly Family.

The Bai family ambushed and killed their ministers, and several of them died, but they had no complaints or regrets.

Even when setting up a powerful camp, I wanted to kill my ministers. I almost died, but I also had no complaints or regrets.

It is the duty of a minister to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor, even if he dies!

But Your Highness, I am doing things for the Emperor according to the emperor's orders, but you hate me for it. Do you think I should be convinced?

Are your actions and your courage and ambition what a prince of the Tian family should have?

Absolutely ridiculous!

I am in charge of the imperial mission, why do you hate me?!"

Li Yao was confused. He had a panic expression on his face and said indiscriminately: "Jia Qiang, you... what are you talking about? What nonsense..."

Jia Qiang continued disappointedly: "If that were all, I would still respect you, because you are a prince, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. However, you actually dare to lie in front of the emperor and queen. I simply cannot imagine what kind of person, You dare to lie in front of your father and mother. Do you know what you are doing? Your Highness, I ask you again. If the Xue family daughter enters the Keqin County Prince's palace, will you humiliate her? This is the last time I ask you. ."

Under the gaze of Emperor Long'an, Queen Yin and Mrs. Yin's wife, Li Yao looked pale and sweated profusely. He didn't understand why this Jia Qiang was so insidious, so vicious, and so aggressive!

Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, Jia Qiang turned around and said to Emperor Long'an: "Your Majesty, these are my words." Then she said to Queen Yin: "The Xue family is the descendant of Ziwei, and is very close to the Jia family.

A hundred years later, the Xue family has withered away, leaving only a widow, a son and a daughter, living in the Jia family. Someone must have known that I was as close as a brother to the Xue family, and also knew that the Second Highness had a grudge against me, so he deliberately moved the Xue family to the Jia family.

The girl pointed it out to His Highness the Second Highness. Due to the fault of the Bai family and the Jinmen Tower, it will be difficult for the Xue family daughter to survive after she enters the palace. Your Majesty, I dare not lie in front of your Majesty, and I will not lie. If that day comes, I will be in deep trouble.

I hate you, Your Highness! This is the viciousness of this plan. This is forcing the minister to do so, and he deeply hates the son of his father."

Emperor Long'an said indifferently: "If it really comes to that point, what are you going to do?"

Jia Qiang was silent for a while and said: "I will definitely pay attention to His Highness the Second Highness at all times, and then find out his faults. Together with other ministers, I will write to your Majesty to ask Your Majesty to depose this son and imprison him."

As soon as these words came out, Queen Yin, Mrs. Yin's wife, the fourth prince Li Shi, and the fifth prince Li Xuan all changed their expressions and looked at Jia Qiang in shock.

Emperor Long'an even laughed loudly and asked sarcastically: "You want to force me to destroy your own son and then trap him?"

Jia Qiang looked at Emperor Long'an without fear and said: "Your Majesty, if there is anyone in this world who hopes for the great Yanjiang Mountains for thousands of years, it will never be easy, I think it must be a distinguished family like me. Because as long as

The Great Yan will never be easy, and the wealth and honor of the Chen family will be the same as the country! This Great Yan is of course the Emperor's Great Yan, the Great Yan of the Tian family. But I think that this Great Yan is also the Great Yan of the ministers and other nobles.

Dayan! A prince who resents his ministers because they are on official business has a moral character that is far from worthy of his position. Why can't I impeach him if the emperor is wise?"

Emperor Long'an looked at Jia Qiang for a long time. Jia Qiang did not avoid his gaze at all, and looked back with open and sincere eyes. After a long time, Emperor Long'an withdrew his eyes and looked at the pale Li Yao again, saying: "What else do you have to say?"

?”

Li Yao knelt down and cried: "Father, emperor, mother, this shameless villain is deliberately trying to harm me. I really don't know what unwarranted crime he is talking about?"

Emperor Long'an sighed and said: "Go back, don't worry, don't be afraid, you are my prince, I will not abolish you, nor will I trap you. But from now on, you will serve the country."

My Lord, please study hard." With these words, Li Yao's future and title were nailed down.

As soon as these words came out, Li Yao completely collapsed on the ground and cried loudly: "Father, my children have been wronged! Mother, my children have been wronged!"

Queen Yin's eyes turned red when she saw this. She looked at Emperor Long'an and wanted to speak, but under Emperor Long'an's stern gaze, she did not open her mouth.

Finally she shed tears and said to Li Yao: "Your Majesty, from now on you will study hard at home... Just remember from now on that it is easy to make thousands of mistakes, but you can't lie in front of your father..."

After that, several strong Huangmen servants came forward and helped the desperate Li Yao down.

After Li Yao went down, Mrs. Yin's wife said softly: "Your Majesty, the second prince is still young after all..."

Emperor Long'an's face turned ugly, and he took a deep breath and said: "Madam, don't worry, he is my royal son, how can I abandon him so easily? I will send knowledgeable people to teach him, as long as he is dedicated to good and corrects himself.

Xin, I will give him another chance. Otherwise, if he is left outside, people will only force me to trap him!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Yin's wife hurriedly smiled and said: "I have heard vaguely before that Qiang'er is a child with a straight temper. He will say anything in front of the Supreme Emperor. Even if the elite scholars outside criticize him like that, he will not change his words. I can't blame the emperor for being like that. Now I can see the real chapter... Your Majesty, this child is not good at all, but there is one thing that is good. He does not say deceitful words in front of the king's father. It is also because of the presence of the Holy Emperor. That's why he dared to do this."

When Emperor Long'an heard this, he snorted, but he was still respectful to Mrs. Che and said with a smile: "This shows that this really caught the eye of the Madam."

Mrs. Yin's wife smiled and said: "It is still a great favor from the emperor!" After a pause, she said with some difficulty: "I shouldn't have said anything. It's just a matter of the Xue family's daughter. I still want to invite the emperor..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Long'an smiled, waved his hand, and asked Jia Qiang: "All the daughters of your Jia family can enter the palace to serve me, but the daughters of the Xue family have their own names in the rites department, so they cannot serve the Tian family clan?"

Jia Qiang replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xue has signed up to be a candidate for the princess princess's entrance into the school to serve as an escort to praise talented people."

"fart!"

Emperor Long'an actually uttered a foul language, which made everyone look at him. After cursing, he waved his hands impatiently and said: "Go, go, go! I don't know where you learned this ability of sophistry. It is definitely not from my Lin Aiqing." Teach me, good students, go do your errands, don’t be arrogant anymore, and have a hand in those who should be in charge and those who shouldn’t be in charge. Sooner or later, you will be the good ones! What a bastard!"

Jia Qiang stood up to leave, but she still asked one more question: "My wife was sent here by me. If I leave..."

Before Emperor Long'an got angry, Empress Yin covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Go to hell with you quickly. Madam Tai is the mother of this palace, why do you still need to worry about me?"

After Jia Qiang bowed again, she strode out of the palace.

…

Bu Zheng Fang, Lin Mansion.

At Zhonglin Hall.

After listening to Jia Qiang's retelling, Lin Ruhai did not comment on his extreme remarks.

In fact, Lin Ruhai was always at ease with Jia Qiang's words and deeds in front of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.

In the eyes of contemporary scholars, those words of "flattery" and "flattering" that have almost no bottom line, at least Lin Ruhai thought to herself, would never be able to say it.

Jia Qiang always spoke with utmost sincerity, and even Lin Ruhai couldn't tell that he was saying something against his will even when he relayed it, which was enough to make the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor feel irresistibly happy...

Lin Ruhai will not correct this talent, let alone ask whether it is true or false, just let him go.

He only asked: "Do you feel aggrieved in your heart?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Sir, after what happened today, I still understand a lot of truths. Not only did I understand it, but when I followed this principle, it was difficult at first. But after I really practiced it, I felt like I had grown up." Quite a few.”

Lin Ruhai smiled with satisfaction and said: "It will be good when you grow up... Qiang'er, you need to know that a gentleman's mind is broadened by all kinds of grievances. The kind of person who always goes smoothly and never suffers grievances has a broad mind. It is so narrow that it cannot tolerate setbacks or criticism. Many people in the government and the public say that the emperor is harsh, but now you look at it, is the emperor really a harsh person?"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang expanded her chest and said with a smile: "Guidao feels a little more broad-minded." After laughing, he thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said: "The emperor is not a harsh king, not only to me, but also to Li Yao. Neither."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "That's precisely because the emperor suffered so many grievances in his early years and saw the cruelty of seizing a legitimate son, that's why he has the courage and benevolence he has today. Okay, that's the end of the matter. You go back to Xifu quickly. , let me first express my regrets to the old lady. She may be angry about what happened today."

Jia Qiang said "Hey" and said: "Sir, I will go to Qingzhu Garden for a walk and then come back!"

Lin Ruhai: "..."
