"Previously, Han Zhang did invite me, but I didn't go to the banquet yesterday, so I don't know what they were going to talk about?"

Duke Guo of Qi found that he could not afford to offend both sides, so he could only choose to know nothing and use this method of not helping each other to fend off both sides.

Although both sides may be offended, at least this time we can get through it smoothly!

At this time, Pu Wang Zhao Zongquan, facing Lin Hao's death gaze, also learned from Qi Guogong's method of not helping each other, and echoed:

"Yesterday I entertained guests at home, but I didn't go to the Lin Mansion for an appointment!"

There is no way, he has no military power, and his speech is inferior to that of Lin Hao. As long as the chief minister in the palace can obey his orders, he will not be so arrogant!

At this time, Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was desperate, because he had no evidence to prove himself, so he quickly knelt in front of Lin Hao and begged for mercy with tears in his eyes:

"His Royal Highness, King Yan, I have never lied. It was really Han Zhang and the others who hinted at me. His Highness, King Yan, and I had no grudges in the past, so why did they frame you!"

At this moment, Wang Shangshu could not care about anything in order to survive, so he continued:

"Besides, the official rank is overwhelming. If I don't do this, they will definitely not let me go. Please spare my life, Your Highness, King Yan!"

Lin Hao's lips curled up slightly at this time, then he helped Wang Shangshu up with one hand, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"I understand that being a high-ranking official kills people. It seems that I have misunderstood you, but in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether you are being instigated by others or not!"

Lin Hao then pointed at the group of Han Zhang and Fu Bi and said disdainfully:

"I just want you to take a look today and see the ugly true face of this group of people. You should reflect on it carefully when you get back!"

Wang Shangshu was stunned when he heard this. He really saved his life. Then he thought of Lin Hao's last words and fell into deep thought~!

Lin Hao ignored the stunned Wang Shangshu, turned around and said to everyone:

"Everyone has seen that these so-called charges against the king are all fabricated. None of them are true."

"It's all about framing this king. Don't you guys have anything to say?"

With that said, Lin Hao walked up to the Minister of Civil Affairs and continued:

"What do you say?"

At this time, the Minister of Civil Affairs looked at the red and white patches on the ground, and when he heard Lin Hao's cold voice, he suddenly trembled, and then said in a hurry:

"Indeed, as Wang Shangshu said, the purpose of our gathering at Han Zhang's house yesterday was to discuss a way to capture His Highness King Yan!"

"Actually, that's not all. Yesterday afternoon, Han Zhang personally went to the Queen Mother's palace. As for what he was going for, I don't know!"

Lin Hao patted the Minister of Civil Affairs on the shoulder, and then said:

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for proving my innocence!"

Then Lin Hao glanced at the ministers in the hall with "peaceful" eyes. However, these ministers did not dare to look directly at Lin Hao's eyes, and all of them lowered their noble heads.

There is no other way, if you don't lower your noble head, I'm afraid the watermelon will be exploded by the pumpkin hammer that the pumpkin ignores!

At this time, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, who was standing by, felt nervous. Seeing such a bloody scene, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs trembled.

Seeing that King Yan seemed to want to ask all the ministers who had been to Han Zhang's house yesterday, that meant that he would definitely be the next person to ask.

No, I can't sit still and wait for death, I must make a way for myself to survive.

He glanced at Han Zhang and Fu Bi who looked ashen, then at the golden melon warrior behind King Yan and the big watermelon that exploded on the ground.

Then the Minister of Punishment gritted his teeth and took the initiative to say to Lin Hao:

"Your Highness, King Yan, I know why Han Zhang went to the Queen Mother's Palace!"

Lin Hao looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice who took the initiative to stand up, finally smiled on his face, and then said calmly:

"Say!"

At this time, no one noticed that the Minister of Justice said "subject" instead of "I", and what does this mean? It can mean standing in line, but it can also mean surrender!

At this time, the Minister of Punishment immediately said:

"Yesterday Han Zhang's purpose of looking for the Queen Mother was to help the censor take over your power after they impeached King Yan today. Therefore, the promise they made to the Queen Mother was that they would hand over the command of the [-]-strong army to you. ~!"

"Nonsense~, you are talking nonsense~!" Queen Mother Cao yelled in horror.

However, Lin Hao turned his head at this time and looked at Queen Mother Cao indifferently, but Queen Mother Cao reluctantly shut up!

As soon as Queen Mother Cao recovered from the shock of the golden melon warrior bursting the watermelon, she heard the Minister of Punishment recount yesterday's transaction with Han Zhang. Thinking of this, Queen Mother Cao looked at Lin Hao in fear.

After seeing Queen Mother Cao shut up, Lin Hao said to the Minister of Punishment:

"continue!"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Punishment immediately said:

"In addition to the power to command the troops, your position as the third envoy was also given to Fu Bi's people by Han Zhang!"

"Is there more?" Lin Hao asked again.

"Yes!" Then the Minister of Punishment continued:

"And Fu Bi, yesterday also went to the harem to find Concubine Yi, and used his position as the former secretary of Puwang Palace in exchange for Concubine Yi agreeing to the accusation against you today!"

"I also promised to the concubine that I would hand over the command of the [-]-strong army in your hands to Uncle Chen Guo!"

Zhao Zongquan, who seemed to have nothing to do with him at this time, immediately shrank his eyes when he heard this, but still lowered his head silently to prevent others from seeing his ugly face.

"Hehehe, hahahahaha!" Lin Hao smiled unscrupulously in the hall, and then said disdainfully:

"What's this? Kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone, marry one woman three times!"

At this time, Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Yi looked at each other, their faces extremely ugly, not to mention Zhao Zongquan, who also had a gloomy face.

Because they all saw that the civil servant group headed by Han Zhang and Fu Bi, through condescension, created conflicts among the three of them while promising benefits to jointly deal with Lin Hao.

No, if Lin Hao is added, it should create conflicts among the four of them, and then they can be the sixth one behind the scenes!

Lin Hao promised his military power to Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Yi, but Lin Hao knew that Han Zhang also promised his military power to Zhao Zongquan!

And they knew that Concubine Yi was extremely afraid of Zhao Zongquan, so Han Zhang promised Zhao Zongquan's palace envoy to Concubine Yi's eldest brother Chen Guojiu!

At this time, Lin Hao exposed the conspiracy of Han Zhang and others to the sun, exposing everyone's ugly faces to the public.

At this time, Concubine Yi quickly said:

"King Yan, please don't misunderstand. I didn't promise Fu Bi yesterday. I don't understand these things in government affairs, so I didn't promise them anything!"

"Oh, really?" Lin Hao asked knowingly.

At this time, Princess Yi saw that Lin Hao didn't believe it, so she said with great emotion:

"Have you forgotten? Just now when they wanted to punish you, I spoke for you!"

Seeing Lin Hao nodding, Concubine Yi said with tears in her eyes:

"I, I just want to raise the late emperor's child in peace and safety. I have no other extravagant wishes in my heart. Please be careful, King Yan~!"

At this time, Concubine Yi looked weak and uncontested, which made the people in the hall sympathize!

Seeing Concubine Yi looking at him pitifully, Lin Hao nodded slightly to her, then came to Han Zhang and said:

"Everyone, look at this person's face. This is the Prime Minister of our Song Dynasty. He actually used such despicable conspiracies to frame the pillars of the imperial court. This kind of person is so shameless!"

"You, you, you!" Han Zhang pointed at Lin Hao with his trembling hand and was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Without waiting for Han Zhang to say anything, Lin Hao continued angrily:

"What the hell, you, how did you, a despicable, shameless, insidious, and dirty villain like you, get into the position of Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, ah~!"

Then Lin Hao said to the queen mother and concubine:

"Please the Queen Mother, the Concubine, and Your Majesty to eradicate the traitors, remove Han Zhang, Fu Bi and others from their posts, drive them out of Bianjing and never use them again, so as to set the course of the government!"

At this time, Queen Mother Cao was also attracted by Lin Hao's momentum. In addition, he was already in the wrong and was afraid that King Yan would do something outrageous, so she immediately said:

"Okay, okay, I agree!"

Queen Mother Cao had lived in the palace for many years. She had never seen such a bloody scene. Seeing that King Yan didn't seem to want to embarrass her, she immediately agreed!

If she hadn't been in front of the civil and military officials of the court, she would still have wanted to maintain the dignity of the Queen Mother.

Concubine Yi, who was holding the emperor in her arms, immediately expressed her stance:

"What King Yan said makes sense. Although I don't understand government affairs, I know that such a conspiracy is wrong!"

Seeing that he was about to be driven out of Bianjing, Han Zhang took the risk and said immediately:

"I am a minister appointed by the late emperor to take care of his life. You have no right to deprive me of my official position!"

"Besides, even if the charges against you by the censor are false, is it a big deal for you to kill the censor in front of all the civil and military officials in the court?"

"If I should be dismissed from my position, then what crime should you, King Yan, have to do!"

Fu Bi, who was next to him, saw that Lin Hao wanted to make him lose his job, and he shouted angrily like a dog jumping over the wall:

"Yes, and you went to the Sheng family yesterday to recruit three thousand dragon guards without permission. In accordance with the laws of the Song Dynasty, you privately dispatched 1000 sergeants to be hanged!"

"Haha! Three thousand sergeants!" However, contrary to Han Zhang and Fu Bi's expectations, Lin Hao sneered and said:

"Who told you that I mobilized three thousand Dragon Guards?"

Fu Bi looked at Lin Hao mockingly and said with an expression as if you think we are fools:

"Everyone in Bianjing saw it yesterday. Do you think we are blind?"

"Haha!" Lin Hao said loudly: "You said that I transferred to the army privately. Did the sergeant who carried my bride price yesterday wear armor, carry a weapon, or do anything illegal?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Mobilizing a large number of troops is a capital crime, so don't mess around here!" Fu Bi said angrily.

Lin Hao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and then waved to the outside of the hall.

I saw a captain of the Dragon Guard Army coming in with Shaoyin from Kaifeng Prefecture in Bianjing City and two Dragon Guard Army soldiers. However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not understand Lin Hao's purpose at all!

At this time, Lin Hao asked Kaifeng Mansion Shaoyin:

"Come on, Chen Shaoyin, tell the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who the people who came out of the Long Guard station yesterday to help me carry the betrothal gift were, and what their identities are!"

"Your Majesty, Shaoyin of Kaifeng Prefecture, Chen Zhizhou pays homage to Your Majesty!" Then Chen Shaoyin saluted the Queen Mother and the Concubine before saying:

"A few days ago, the barracks of the Dragon Guard Army collapsed, so I asked my subordinate to arrange for three thousand corvees to repair the barracks of the Dragon Guard Army."

"Of course, it's not just the barracks. Places such as the school grounds have also been repaired together!"

At this time Fu Bi frowned and said:

"To get to the point, don't talk about him with us here!"
