Guo Hong did not immediately present the memorial to the emperor, but instead told the inside story in public in the way of complaining about the wrongdoing in the Golden Palace. Yang Fan reminded him in advance.

Yang Fan knew very well that Zong Chuke's position in the Wei Party is now, and the Wei Party would not sit idly by and watch such a capable general collapse.

What's more, once Guo Yuanzhen was dismissed from his post when he sat on the charge of inaction, the Wei Party could take tens of thousands of troops of the Anxi Protectorate. From this point of view, the Wei Party would definitely protect Zong Chuke.

Therefore, if the evidence is just presented to the imperial court, the matter may be operated in secret and finally left unresolved. With Empress Wei’s control over the emperor, this matter may be wrong in the end, but if the matter is exposed publicly in the court, the situation will be completely different. The emperor cannot even ignore the minimum rules.

Now that Guo Hong exposed the truth on the spot, Li Xian ordered people to present the confession of Soge and Guo Yuanzhen, as well as the confession of Lu Shousu and Ashina, and read it in person, and his face suddenly darkened.

He was not aware of Zong Chuke's greed for the ink. Li Xian was very annoyed when he saw these evidences. Although he only had a pen confession now, he believed that Guo Yuanzhen and Soge's private confession was the truth. A very simple truth was that Soge had already claimed to be a Khan. If he had not really been wronged but had rebelled sincerely, why would he do this forever?

Li Xian looked at Zong Chuke coldly and said in a deep voice: "Zong Chuke, what do you say?"

Zong Qiangu looked deep in the direction of Empress Wei's curtain, bowed calmly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am loyal and honest, and I will do something that will be denied the holy hope. Besides, Zhou Yiti is far away in the Western Regions, how could I communicate with him?"

Li Xian was furious and threw the letter forward hard, shouting sternly: "Then, what explanation do you have for Ashina Zhongjie and Lu Shousu's confession? Do you have to take Ashina Zhongjie to the capital to confront you before you can bow your head to confess your guilt?"

Zong Chuke bowed his head and said, "I am afraid! I dare not! But... I am not guilty! I am wronged!"

"you!"

Li Xian pointed at Zong Chuke in anger, and was so angry that he was so angry that he was furious that he blushed on his face. Empress Wei coughed gently behind the pearl curtain and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Zong Chuke has always been loyal to the country. In my opinion, it is indeed unlikely to call him for bribes."

Li Xian frowned and said in a slightly complaining tone: "Queen!"

Empress Wei disagreed and said to herself: "Just say it according to common sense, Zong Chuke is the prime minister of the current dynasty. If he wants to ask for a bribe, countless people will flock to him and run around the prime minister's mansion.

Why should Zong Chuke go far and seek a far distance and blackmail a Fanhu tribe? How much money can those nomadic tribes have? It is worth the coveting of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty? Of course, I believe what Guo Hong said is true, but Your Majesty has never thought about it. Could it be that Zhou Yiti can't fake the name of the zong prime minister? "

Li Xian was unconscious after hearing this. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that what the queen said made a lot of sense. From his heart, he did not want to believe that Zong Chuke, whom he favored, was so greedy. Moreover, because the suffering the queen suffered for him in his early years and his inferiority complex of losing a man's normal function made him not have the courage to disobey his wife.

Zong Chuke sighed secretly and bowed quickly and said, "The Queen is wise!"

Empress Wei smiled faintly and said, "If the emperor wants to escort Ashina Zhongjie back to Beijing to confront him, it is not impossible. However, the journey is long, and it will take at least half a year to go there. When the emperor finds out the truth and deals with it, it will take about a year to complete it.

Now Soge has occupied Anxi, cutting off the liaison between the four towns and the Central Plains, and the Western Regions merchants have been cut off. Zhou Yiti is leading his troops to attack. Regardless of victory or defeat, it will always be a disaster that will affect countless people. How can Your Majesty bear it?

Tubo and the Turks would not miss this good opportunity. If they take the opportunity to raise troops, provoke discord, and persuade Soge to join forces with them, the Western Regions will be filled with wars and will be peaceful in some unknown future."

Li Xian said thoughtfully: "Well! What the queen said makes a lot of sense. So what should I do according to what the queen said?"

Empress Wei said: "Your Majesty, the confession from Guo Hong is enough to prove the innocence of Guo Yuanzhen and Soge. According to my opinion, the first thing is to appease Soge and restore Guo Yuanzhen's military position to calm the situation in Anxi."

After hearing this, Li Xian nodded repeatedly, and Empress Wei said: "I think that your Majesty only needs to recognize the righteousness of the Khan of the Tenth surname of Soge, and then you can re-incorporate the Tenth Turkic surnames under your rule, and the four towns of Anxi will return without fighting.

Your Majesty was originally a great gubernatorial guardian of Anxi, but he was sitting there watching Soge and Ashina fight for loyalty. After that, Niu Shijiao was attacked and failed to rescue him in time. Now it seems that it is all slander that Zhou Yiti coveted the position of the great gubernatorial guardian."

Empress Wei said this, her tone paused slightly, and her eyes suddenly became cold: "This Zhou, I was the name of a fake prime minister, and then slandered the ministers and corrupted the court. We should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

Li Xian said happily: "What the queen said is very appropriate, so... let's do it like this."

Li Xian turned his head and issued an edict according to Empress Wei's wishes. When Guo Hong heard that his father had turned his head into danger, he was restored to his post. Although he failed to defeat Zong Chuke, it was an excellent result for his father and son, so he immediately kowtowed and thanked him.

Unexpectedly, the censor Cui Wan did not want to give up.

Now the Tang Dynasty has been completely controlled by the Wei Party, but this does not mean that all officials have become the Wei Party. It is just that all important positions are controlled by the Wei Party, and the operation and implementation of the court's power is controlled by the Wei Party.

The Censorate is the position of censors, and not everyone is qualified to join this place. Although censors are important positions and do not have much wealth, because of the tradition, to join the Censorate, you must first be a Jinshi, and this one restricts many officials who are lucky enough to join.

Of course, there are many officials who joined the Wei Party as a Jinshi. However, even if they are not the head of the department of the Yiya, they are also officials in the important places, or places with low positions but rich positions, they will never be loyal to the Wei Party, so they will go to the Qingshui Yamen to sit on the bench.

Therefore, this Censorate is one of the few places that have not been occupied by the Wei Party. Now it has been difficult to find a reason to attack Zong Chuke, but Cui Wan is not willing to let it go easily. Seeing that Empress Wei was about to throw her soldiers and protect the commander, Cui Wan immediately went out and said loudly: "Let's go, I have this report!"

Li Xian frowned and looked at him unhappily. Cui Wan said: "Your Majesty, what the Empress said, immediately appease the Tuqi Shi tribe and restore the military position of Guo Dupu to calm the situation in the Western Regions and avoid being taken advantage of by Tubo or Turks. I strongly agree. However..."

Cui Wan pointed to Zong Chuke and said sternly: "The reason for this behavior is that Guo Hong presented evidence. However, regarding Zhou Yiti's forced rebellion against Sa Ge, whether Zhou Yiti sought bribes in the name of Zong Prime Minister, or whether the Zong Prime Minister instructed Zhou Yiti to ask for bribes for him, we cannot speculate on it."

Cui Wan took a step forward and held the scepter and said, "Your Majesty, if Zhou Yiti asked for bribes under the name of Zong Prime Minister, and thus forced his rebellion against Sa Ge, causing such a military disaster, Zhou Yiti's crime will not be punished! But what if Zong Prime Minister asked for bribes to cause border troubles? I think this matter should be investigated thoroughly!"

Zong Chuke was furious and pointed at Cui Wan, "You, a man who is surnamed Cui, have repeatedly slandered your true nature in order to make your own reputation. Now you are speculating a lot about what you intend? In the case of Zhou Yiti, Your Majesty and the Queen have made a decision. Do you want to resist the order?"

Cui Wan responded in a tit-for-tat way, and his voice was much higher than Zong Chuke: "As the censor, Cui is the chief minister of the emperor's eyes and disciplines! Any minister, villain, who builds party, and acts of power and fortune, impeachment! Any officials who are greedy and provoke bad officials and journalists, impeach! Any academic injustice, who writes a letter to the public and become a constitution, and who hopes to be promoted will be impeached! This official has the power to impeach hundreds of officials, identify the wrongs, and supervise all the ways. Prime Minister, can't Cui impeach you?"

Both of them are eloquent people. They talked endlessly for a moment, and they all said their own reasons. In the Golden Palace, only the two people roared continuously. Li Xian said helplessly: "Two dear friends, pay attention to their official style and stop quarreling."

The two of them were verbally and turned a deaf ear to Li Xian's words.

Li Xian said helplessly: "Two beloved ministers, I have made a conclusion on this matter, you will step down."

Cui Wan and Zong Chuke were fighting with each other, but they still ignored it.

Li Xian was furious and suddenly picked up the "Zhenshanhe" and slapped hard. With a "bang", the sound of the Jin Palace was stunned. Zong Chuke and Cui Wan were stunned. Only then did he realize that some of the king had lost his etiquette.

Cui Wan was justified by the official hat that was dismissed because of anger and quarrel. He was a censor and had privileges in this regard and was not afraid of the emperor's blame. Zong Chuke turned red, and he was the prime minister. It was embarrassing to do this.

Zong Chuke quickly straightened his clothes and apologized to Li Xian. Li Xian tried hard to make his voice harmonious and said, "Although the two beloved ministers are a little unrighteous, they are all for the sake of the government. I feel very comforted, how can I be punished?

Both of you are loyal and kind, so don’t hurt your kindness because of paranoid views. It’s better to let me take charge today, and you two become brothers of different surnames, and from then on, work together to protect my country and country. Don’t make unnecessary disputes anymore.”

"What?"

When he heard Li Xian's ridiculous words, not only Zong Chuke and Cui Wan were stunned, but also all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned. Yang Fan stood at the head of the general's squad, his cheeks twitched, and he could hardly help laughing and said, "Such emperor is truly unparalleled in the world!"

Zong Chuke and Cui Wan looked at each other, their eyes were strange. They were fighting like a cock-fighting just now. The emperor reconciled them and actually made them sworn brothers of different surnames?

Seeing the two of them looking at each other with strange looks, Li Xian couldn't help but look dark and said unhappily: "What, can't I be this middle-aged man? Do you two want to resist the order?"

Zong Chuke's eyes flashed a few times, turned to Cui Wan, and bowed: "Chief Cui is older than Zong, so he should be his brother. Brother, please accept a bow from me!" As he said that, he bowed to Cui Wan three times.

Li Xian was very happy to caress his beard, Cui Wan stood there, looking ridiculous and crying, and didn't know how he should deal with it. Seeing that he had not returned the tribute, Li Xian frowned slightly and urged, "Cui Wan, why haven't you..."

As soon as Li Xian said this, he saw a warrior standing in the palace hurriedly coming, and knelt on one knee in front of the emperor, saying in a deep voice: "Your Majesty! The right servant She and the third-rank Yang Zaisi under the Secretariat will send someone to report the death!"
