Chapter 148: Justification

Shen Tuming frowned, turned around, and threw the memorial in his hand on the table, "Are you sure the person you sent out really said that?"

Yuan Xi bent down harder, His tone was respectful, "Of course, the people sent out have been carefully observing the regent's reaction in the dark. This is indeed what they responded to."

Yuan Xi did not dare to raise his head at all. Even though he had served the emperor for so many years, he still didn't understand. What exactly does the other party want to do this time?

But no matter what the other party wants to do, he just needs to wait quietly by his side.

As for the rest, it was not something that a eunuch like him could worry about.

Shen Tuming's brows were knitted together, and he casually took the memorial beside him, opened it and looked at it a few times, but he didn't read a single word.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt agitated in my heart.

The next moment, he threw the memorial in his hand out again. He raised his right hand slightly and brought it to his lips. With his other hand, he tapped the table with his fingers once and for all.

Shentu Ming spoke again, "You said that the regent didn't react at all when he heard that I issued such an imperial edict?"

Yuan Xi only lowered his head lower and tremblingly said, "This, slave doesn't You dare to speak nonsense."

Shen Tuming immediately raised his hand and said, "No problem, I allow you to say it."

After saying that, he saw a trace of hesitation on the other person's face, and continued: "No matter what you say, I will not surrender. It's okay to blame you."

Yuan Xi straightened up a little, glanced at Shen Tu Ming in front of him, and said word by word: "According to this servant, the imperial edict is an order issued by the emperor himself, even if he goes to The commander of the imperial army is also an indispensable presence in the palace. You ask the commander of the imperial army to go with the imperial edict to tell the regent about the confinement."

He raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Tuming, only to see that there was no big reaction on his face.

She suddenly felt relieved and lowered her head a little, "On weekdays, no matter how close the emperor and the regent are, they are still the emperor and his ministers. Since the emperor has given an order, the ministers can only accept it."

Shen Tuming He half clenched his right hand into a fist, brought it to his lips and coughed lightly, his eyes thoughtful.

Although these words sound quite correct.

But he felt that He Chaoci definitely didn't think so. He knew exactly what kind of person He Chaoci was.

Seeing that the other party had calmed down, Shen Tuming spoke again, "Keep talking."

Yuan Xi swallowed quietly, considered it carefully for a moment, and then spoke slowly, "Since the Emperor cares so much about the Regent's reaction, How about giving the prince a chance to defend himself?"

Shen Tuming's expression suddenly turned cold. He raised his head casually, with no emotion in his eyes.

That face was very serious, and there was a vague aura of majesty surrounding him.

"I just asked you to give the answer based on the question you just asked. I didn't ask you to tell me what to do."

He quickly stood up, with his hands behind his back, and he stood there with an imposing manner that should not be underestimated.

Yuan Xi reacted immediately. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground, his whole body lying on the ground, kowtowing, and at the same time reached out and slapped himself twice.

The beating made a snapping sound, and he muttered, "It's my slave who talks too much. It's my slave who didn't correct his position. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Shen Tuming frowned tightly and turned around. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Yuan Xi on the ground, and waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, you can go down too and leave me alone for a while."

He didn't really mean to blame the other person, but he had no reason in his heart. A moment of irritation.

Three days ago.

In front of the Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see the King of Assistant Government."

During this period, He Chaoci's deeds in controlling the locust plague had already been quickly spread back to the capital.

And he was very satisfied with this, and he liked He Chaoci very much.

Shen Tuming suddenly became interested and was thinking about writing a calligraphy in the study. When He Chaoci came back, he would give the calligraphy to him.

When he heard the news that the Auxiliary King asked for an audience, he waved his hand directly, "See you, no, see you."

There was nothing important in the court today, so there was no need for him to meet the Auxiliary King alone.

Moreover, the auxiliary king and He Chaoci have never dealt with each other.

Before He Chaoci came back, he should try his best to disappear without seeing each other.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he saw Yuan Xi still standing nearby, he couldn't help but ask: "What are you still doing here? Why don't you go and answer the question quickly?"

Yuan Xi lowered his head, with a very respectful expression on his face. He whispered word by word: "Your Majesty, the Assistant King said that there is something very important this time. I want to inform the Emperor, and I also want to thank the Emperor."

Shen Tuming's eyes fell on the piece of paper in front of him that had not been fully written. Good calligraphy, slowly put the langhao pen aside.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi quickly stepped forward with lowered eyebrows, quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shen Tuming.

Shen Tuming took this opportunity to wipe his hands.

Yuan Xi consciously moved the calligraphy on the table to the side.

Shen Tuming raised his eyebrows slightly. Since the last time he issued an order for the auxiliary king to rest in the palace, he had only withdrawn this order recently.

After all, the other party didn't do anything detrimental to the court.

There are some things that he can just turn a blind eye to.

Besides, He Chaoci is not here now, so someone in the DPRK needs to stand up.

The auxiliary king happened to be this candidate.

He raised his head and said softly: "Okay, in that case, let him come in."

After lighting the incense.

The auxiliary king lowered his head and slowly entered the imperial study.

He first looked at Yuan Xi with complicated eyes.

Shentu Ming suddenly said, "What do you think he is doing? I heard that the auxiliary king asked to see me for something. Just say whatever you want."

The auxiliary king looked like he was hesitating to speak.

Shen Tuming then slowly raised his head and looked at Shan Guangyin, "Yuan Xi has been with me for a long time. He is not an outsider."

At the same time, his eyes fell on the person in front of him.

I saw that Shan Guangyin was much more haggard than before, his beard was unshaven, and he looked like he had not had a good rest.

Shentu Ming couldn't help but ask, "How long has it been since I last saw the auxiliary king, why have you become so haggard? I asked you to rest in the palace, and you looked like this after resting. Is it possible that you are still worried outside in the palace?" Too much?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, and the blame on his face was obvious.

Shen Tuming directly threw his robe to the side.

The next moment, he suddenly knelt down. His eyes were very sincere and firm.

The moment he knelt down, his eyes seemed to be filled with an inexplicable emotion.
