Gu Zhong immediately knelt down, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, it is the newly promoted young master Bai who is crying."

The emperor frowned slightly, turned around and said, "Bai Shan, today is the Queen Mother's birthday, why are you crying?"

Bai Shan stood up from the table, wiped his tears and walked to the main hall to kneel down. The smile on the Queen Mother's face also fell, and she was looking at him with some displeasure.

Bai Shan lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I saw that the Queen Mother's descendants were filial and surrounded me, and the Queen Mother was also kind and kind. I couldn't help but think of my late father. I thought that my father had passed away early, and I was unable to celebrate him, and my grandmother was young.

As I get older, I still have to work hard for my little minister. I feel sad for a moment and can't help it."

The Queen Mother's face softened slightly and she said with a smile: "It's good that you have such filial piety. Your father died for the country and died without regrets. From now on, you will be more filial and respectful to your grandmother. Good boy, stop crying."

Bai Shan cried even louder, lying on the ground. His cries were suppressed and sad, and instantly spread throughout the silent hall.

Mr. Old Tang and Wei Zhi looked at each other, both with a bad premonition.

The Queen Mother was a little unhappy and asked: "You child, why do you keep crying and getting more and more sad?"

Bai Shan raised his head and looked directly at the Queen Mother and the Emperor sitting above with tears on his face. He glanced at the Emperor and saw that his face was expressionless and had no intention of stopping him, so he understood something.

Bai Shan's lips trembled slightly, and his hands trembled with anger and fear. He suppressed his worry for his two friends, stretched out his hand and wiped his tears and said: "Because I am not a filial person. My father died unjustly, but I

However, because of the fear of power, I had been hiding and dared not speak out. Only then did I see Your Majesty and the princes, princes, and grandsons being so filial to the Queen Mother. I felt guilty and wished I could kill myself to thank my late father. Therefore, I couldn't help crying for a while. Please ask the Queen Mother.

Punish the crime.”

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said: "What grievances do you have..." Later, she went to Dali Temple and said...

As a result, before she could say anything, the emperor continued: "Your father died fighting bandits. He died for the country. What injustice is there?"

The King of Yizhou clenched the wine glass in his hand and was about to speak, but Bai Shan quickly answered: "Your Majesty, my late father died for the country, but he did not die fighting bandits, but was killed by the King of Yizhou.

!”

The whole palace was shocked.

The King of Yizhou threw the wine glass in his hand fiercely, "Where did this yellow-mouthed kid come from to slander me like this at my mother's birthday banquet, my dear brother!"

The Queen Mother glanced at the King of Yizhou and turned around and said: "Emperor, I don't understand the things in the court, but today is my birthday. If you have anything to do, why don't you ask someone to take the child down tomorrow?"

"

Bai Shanfu said: "Your Majesty, twelve years ago, the king of Yizhou took money from the embankment of Jianweiyan to raise private soldiers. In the past twelve years, he has been constantly plundering the people's fat of Yizhou to recruit talents and raise private soldiers.

The quality of their private soldiers is comparable to that of the Forbidden Army, and the number of private soldiers is even greater than that of the Forbidden Army, so why don’t you care?"

All the ministers were shocked.

King Yizhou's eyes widened and he subconsciously looked at the emperor.

The emperor also had a look of surprise on his face. Before he could react, the emperor had already scolded him, "How dare you say this? Do you have any evidence for saying this? If you talk nonsense, you are slandering the royal family. This is a serious crime of killing the clan!"

The ministers had started talking one after another, and the hall suddenly became noisy.

Mr. Old Tang and Wei Zhi looked at each other, then stood up and walked out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, raising a private army is a big deal. Since this young man is so sure of what he said, it is better to take him down first and then send someone to investigate in detail."

Today's affairs were enough for this purpose. The emperor turned his head and glanced at the Queen Mother. Seeing that her face was ugly, he nodded quickly, "Okay, someone, come and take Bai Shan down."

"Wait a minute," the Queen Mother pulled her sleeves to cover her slightly trembling hands and stared at Bai Shan and said: "Since what he said is conclusive and there is obviously evidence, let him present the evidence now, otherwise who knows?

Is he just slandering the King of Yizhou with his empty words?"

The Queen Mother said: "If this kind of thing is not severely punished, today on my birthday someone will say that the King of Yizhou is raising a private army, and tomorrow someone will say on the emperor's birthday that other vassal kings are rebelling. Is it possible that the entire country's national strength must be sacrificed for this?"

Are one or two people running around with lies?”

The vassal kings who had already surrendered their vassals knelt down one after another, feeling deeply that they had suffered an unreasonable disaster.

The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Bai Shan condescendingly.

When the Queen Mother saw Bai Shan kneeling, she got angry and said, "Why, you entered the palace empty-handed to complain? There is still no evidence. It was just because you had a personal grudge with King Yizhou that you took this opportunity to slander King Yizhou?"

"I have the evidence." A voice came from outside the hall.

Everyone turned to look and saw Man Bao running in panting and running into the hall. Then she slowed down, pushed back the messy hair on her face, and stepped forward step by step with a blood mark on her face.

.

When Man Bao entered the palace today, he wore two bags with only a few beads on them. At this time, his hair was messy and the blood stains on his face were particularly obvious.

Because she was sitting with Princess Mingda before, most of the people in the hall had paid attention to her before. Seeing her in such a mess, they couldn't help but look behind her.

The fifth prince, Ji Hao and Princess Changyu ran in after her. They obviously didn't hear what the Queen Mother said just now, and they didn't know what happened in the main hall. They saw that there was silence inside, and Zhou Man was still walking forward with his head raised.

, he was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zhou Man, knelt down and said: "Grandma Huang, Father Huang, cousin Yunfeng had some conflicts with Little Doctor Zhou. My cousin was impulsive and accidentally beat Little Doctor Zhou.

With a whip, I will take her out immediately."

The fifth prince knelt down, but Man Bao did not. She broke away from the fifth prince's hand and walked towards Bai Shan who was kneeling on the ground.

Bai Shan had already turned around to look at her, and when he saw that she looked embarrassed and had injuries on her face, her whole face tensed up. He watched her walk towards him step by step.

Above the main hall, the fifth prince couldn't force Zhou Man to do anything, so he could only get up and follow him. He lowered his voice and persuaded: "Zhou Man, you don't want to die. You went crazy just now. Why now... the imperial grandmother loves Yunfeng very much?"

, she won’t do it for you..."

Man Bao quickened his pace, and the fifth prince could not keep up, so he could only grit his teeth and stop.

In the garden just now, Zhou Man didn't know what happened. He obviously stopped Li Yunfeng, so she and Mingda could just leave.

As a result, she suddenly rushed up and pushed him away, and then pushed Li Yunfeng to the ground.

At that time, not only he and Li Yunfeng, but others were also stunned. Then Li Yunfeng got up and whipped her hard.

Unexpectedly, she didn't want to avoid him, so she just stood there and let her whip him across the face.
