Han Renjie frowned, a little worried.

A large number of rebels appeared in the Forbidden Army, and his son Han Cheng couldn't get away with joint and several responsibilities.

Xiao Sanjue couldn't hide the smile on his face, and he didn't try to hide it either.

Who in the Great Viet Empire didn't know that the relationship between Xie An and Xiao Sanjue was like fire and water.

If Xie An's downfall and Xiao Sanjue's hypocritical sadness, then he will be called a hypocrite.

When the old Xie An and the disheveled Yue Zifeng were dragged up by the palace guards,
Whether it is Xiao Dang, Han Dang, or the remnants of Xie Dang, there is inevitably a trace of sadness in the heart.

Yue Zifeng's knee was injured, his dantian Qihai was abolished by Xiao Jieyi, and he couldn't stand up anymore.

He froze on the ground, gritted his teeth and said,

"Xiao Yuyi, if you want to kill, you have to cut it to your heart's content. This kind of humiliation is not what a hero does."

"Prince Xiping, you still don't know how to repent?"

Yue Zifeng sneered,
"It's just a winner and a loser, there's nothing to repent of."

Xiao Yuyi patted the armrest of the throne,

"You want to die, it's not that easy!"

She turned to Xie An and asked,

"Elder Ge, what else do you have to say?"

Xie An's eyes were dull, as if he had aged 20 years overnight.

"Your Majesty, the old minister deserves to die. I dare not ask for forgiveness. I only hope that Your Majesty can forgive the old minister's family because he has served the emperors of three dynasties in the evening, and he has worked hard without merit."

"Your Majesty, no!"

Xiao Sanjue knew very well the consequences of beating a snake and would not die, so he immediately jumped out to stop it.

"As the saying goes, the state owns the laws of the country, and the family has its own rules. If Mr. Xie Ge committed such a serious crime, his family members can be forgiven. In the future, who in the world will be able to respect the law and respect the imperial power?"

Xie An's eyes were about to burst,

"Xiao Sanjue, are you really going to kill the Xie family?"

Xiao Sanjue sneered,
"Mr. Xie Ge, I'm just talking about the facts. What's more, you, Mr. Xie Ge, have also participated in the formulation of the laws of the Great Viet Empire. You must be familiar with it?"

Xie An lowered his head dejectedly, with a look of despair in his eyes.

Xiao Sanjue cupped his hands upwards,
"Your Majesty, there must be remnants of Xie An's party in the imperial court. The old minister suggests a thorough investigation. It is better to be in vain than to let go, and we must not let a traitor slip through the net."

Mo Yuan, Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's heart sank, Xiao Sanjue wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents wantonly.

The empress did not immediately agree to Xiao Sanjue's proposal, but turned to ask Han Renjie,

"Old Marshal, what do you think?"

Han Renjie considered it for a while,
"Your Majesty, I believe that the case of Mr. Xie Ge's collusion with Yue Zifeng for treason should be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Dali Temple for a joint trial. After the interrogation is clear, the sentence will be pronounced."

The old marshal knew in his heart that if Xiao Sanjue took the opportunity to clean up the remaining forces of the Xie Party,

The three-legged situation in the court will be broken, and Xiao Sanjue's next target is likely to be his own Han family.

So no matter what, Xiao Sanjue cannot be allowed to succeed.

Xiao Yuyi nodded,
"The old Marshal is right, then go to the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three divisions of Dali Temple for a joint trial, and if you have the result, report it to me!"

Han Renjie breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the empress' thoughts were still very clear, and she knew that the Xiao family could not be allowed to dominate the court.

Xiao Sanjue secretly hated Han Renjie for disrupting the situation, if not, he would have a great chance to uproot Xie An's remaining forces.

He saluted again,

"Your Majesty, four battalions of the Forbidden Army participated in this rebellion. Although the chief culprit has been executed, Han Cheng, the leader of the Forbidden Army, bears an unshirkable responsibility. The old minister respectfully asks Your Majesty to punish Han Cheng."

Han Renjie glared angrily, he didn't expect the old fellow Xiao Sanjue's revenge to come so fast.

Xiao Yuyi glanced at his grandfather playfully, nodded and said,

"The old prime minister is right!"

Xiao San remained calm and continued,
"Your Majesty, the old minister suggests..."

Han Renjie took a step forward and said first,
"Your Majesty, the veteran feels that through this incident of Yue Zifeng's rebellion, there are too many loopholes in the guards of the imperial city."

Xiao Sanjue's words that he had been planning for a long time were interrupted by him, he held his breath in his chest, and couldn't help coughing twice.

Xiao Jieyi understood what Han Renjie meant, and looked at him with a half-smile,
"Then according to the opinion of the old marshal, what should be done?"

Han Renjie's eyes were fixed, and he said forcefully,

"The veteran thinks that an army directly under His Majesty should be formed to be responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city."

Xiao Sanjue was stunned for a moment, the old man Han has such powerful tricks, and he played beautifully by borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha.

Han Renjie said this in exchange for Xiao Yuyi not to pursue Han Cheng's responsibility on the condition that he backed down and compromised the empress's intervention in the military power.

Xiao Sanjue twirled his beard and glanced at Han Renjie, and couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Even if he was in a different place with him, to be honest, Xiao Sanjue didn't think of a better way than this.

Xiao Yuyi's eyes flickered,
"After hearing what the old marshal said, I also feel that it is necessary to form such an army. What does the old prime minister think?"

Xiao Sanjue secretly sighed, it seems that today's wish to drag the Han family into the water has come to nothing.

He didn't expect that Han Renjie could offer such a generous offer. It seemed that he could only look for another opportunity.

Xiao San bowed and saluted calmly,

"Your Majesty is wise, and the old minister has no objections."

Han Renjie heaved a sigh of relief, Xiao Sanjue, this insidious and cunning guy, finally did not pursue him fiercely.

The old marshal knew that he was suffering, even if the power of guarding the imperial city was still in his hands.

Looking at the course of this incident, the empress is fully capable of taking over the gates of the imperial city in a very short period of time.

Instead of this, Han Renjie felt that he might as well make a favor, return the power of guarding the imperial city to Xiao Yuyi, and exchange for his son's innocence, so why not do it.

Xiao Yuyi was in a good mood, a smile curled up on the corner of his mouth,
"Then, my lords, who do you think is up to the task of guarding the imperial city?"

She obviously asked the ministers for their opinions, but in fact, she knew in her heart that most of these people acted based on the eyes of the two big brothers Xiao Han.

Only Xie Ge's old party, but because of the lack of leading figures, was temporarily unable to fight against them.

Sure enough, none of the ministers spoke up.

Xiao Sanjue glanced at Han Renjie, and the two saluted together, saying in unison,

"Let Your Majesty decide!"

Both bigwigs knew that the person to guard the imperial city must be Xiao Yuyi's confidant.

The others went, and within a few days, the empress would find a reason to replace them.

Seriously speaking, there may even be life-threatening.

That being the case, you might as well appoint it yourself.

Xiao Yuyi had long been calculating in his heart, and smiled,
"Then I will be disrespectful. This imperial city guard general should be given to Zhou Chixing, the former imperial guard general. As for the designation, why not call him Jinyiwei!"
