After listening to Emperor ningzong's punishment decision, Shi Miyuan quickly gave thanks and said, "I deserve what I have done. Thank you for your generosity."

Emperor ningzong said to Shi Miyuan, "as the head of all officials, Aiqing helps me deal with the world affairs on weekdays. I have to punish you heavily for such a big mistake today."

"I have no complaints. I am convinced that the emperor has punished me." Shi Miyuan said to Emperor ningzong.

At this time, the prince said to the emperor ningzong, "Your Majesty, how important the Huaixi army is. The old Huaixi mutiny must not have been forgotten. The prime minister has committed such a serious crime. In the opinion of his children's ministers, he should be sold to the people and never recorded. "

seeing that the crown prince took the opportunity to attack Shi Miyuan, Li Zhixiao stood up again and said," Your Highness, you can't expand this matter infinitely. You know, the prime minister manages everything every day. Sometimes there will be omissions in the management of his subordinates. Although there have been mistakes, the contribution of the prime minister is far greater than his fault, so it seems a little difficult to sell him for the people Make a mountain out of a molehill. "

Seeing that Li Zhixiao said so, other Shi Miyuan's party members also pleaded for Shi Miyuan. For a moment, everyone in the court held their own opinions and quarreled.

Seeing this, Emperor ningzong squinted at the eunuch Wang Gonggong who was standing beside his dragon chair.

On weekdays, Li Gonggong spent all day with emperor ningzong. He understood what emperor ningzong meant and immediately went forward and said, "the golden palace is the place of the early Dynasty. Ministers, please respect your status and do not make noise. Violators will be severely punished. "

when the ministers on the Golden Hall saw the edict issued by Duke Wang on behalf of emperor ningzong, they did not dare to say any more. For a moment, there was no sound on the golden hall.

At this time, Chen Wenduan, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, came forward again and said, "my Lord, the disaster situation of the Huaixi loyal and brave army and the handling of the payment are urgent. Please make a decision early so as not to chill the hearts of the border officers and soldiers!"

"Chen Aiqing has a point. In my opinion, it is necessary to tie the bell. Since Shi Aiqing is responsible for this matter, Shi Aiqing is still in charge of handling it. However, in view of this, Chen Aiqing is also involved and he has a field understanding of the current military situation of the Zhongyong army in Huaixi. Shi Aiqing can assist in handling this matter." Emperor ningzong ordered the road.

Chen Wenduan and Shi Mi said this to Emperor ningzong. They knelt down to the ground in a hurry to receive the order.

At this time, Emperor ningzong asked Shi Miyuan, "Ai Qing, I've always heard that you secretly organized a group of Wulin people to do something for you. Just now, when Mr. Chen was playing the military situation of Huaixi, he also said that you sent some Wulin experts to assassinate him. Is that so?"

"My Lord, don't listen to the nonsense of some people. I'm the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. I don't know how to associate with people in the Wulin. It's impossible. I think Mr. Chen is wrong." Shi Miyuan quickly explained.

Hearing what Shi Miyuan said, Chen Wenduan said to the emperor ningzong: "holy Lord, this is not a few people who wronged Mr. Shi and came to assassinate me. One way is that the leader of Tianxia sect personally led his hall leader, and the other way is that the disciple of QianDu sect, the poison doctor. They all admit that Mr. Shi ordered them."

"Mr. Chen, you keep saying that these people are instigated by me. Well, you bring them up. I will confront them face to face. If there is anything wrong, I will plead with the emperor face to face." Shi Miyuan said.

Chen Wenduan said angrily: "Mr. Shi, you are making trouble out of nothing. You know that all the people you sent have escaped, and you asked me to bring some people to confront you. Are you brave to do it or not?"

At this time, Shi Miyuan pretended to be particularly innocent and said to the emperor ningzong, "holy Lord, if Mr. Chen doesn't have any evidence, he said that the old minister sent a killer to kill him. I'm really unconvinced. I ask your majesty to make the decision for him."

After that, he fell on his knees and couldn't get up.

Seeing this, Emperor ningzong made a comeback and said, "Shi Aiqing, don't be angry. It's true that Chen Aiqing was assassinated by two groups of people, but you sent him. I don't think there is any evidence now. I don't believe it, so please relax and get up."

”Thank you for your trust. "Shi Miyuan said to Emperor ningzong.

When Emperor ningzong saw that Chen Wenduan had to come forward to speak, he took the lead and said, "Chen Aiqing, I know that you have contributed a lot to the military situation in Huaixi. I think that's right. I'll give you a reward for all the people who are with you this time. As for Aiqing, I think you'll be your minister of rites and vice minister of Privy Council. As a reward, do you think so How are you

Seeing that emperor ningzong seemed to be trying to exonerate Shi Miyuan, Chen Wenduan couldn't say anything more and returned to his class.

So emperor ningzong announced that he would withdraw today, but let Shi Miyuan and the prince stay.

After all the ministers retired, Emperor ningzong took a look at the prince and Prime Minister standing below and asked, "do you know why I left you alone today?"

Both Shi Miyuan and the prince said they didn't know.

If you are not the right ministers of the imperial court, you will be the only ones who can succeed the imperial court After all the party struggle, the country has no peace. "Seeing that emperor ningzong spoke seriously and sincerely, they both expressed their willingness to listen to Emperor ningzong.

Then emperor ningzong said to Shi Miyuan, "the prime minister is still loyal to me, but you do some things in private. Don't think I really don't know. I tell you, I'm not a fool. Sometimes, I want you to work for me for many years. You have no credit, but you also have hard work. So you can turn a blind eye, but you know, Wang FA Merciless, if you rely on my favor to you and continue to do things that violate the laws of the Song Dynasty, I will tolerate you at that time, but I'm afraid the laws of the Song Dynasty will not. "

with these words, Ning Zong said to the crown prince:" huang'er, although you are the crown prince of the country, you have not made any achievements in recent years. If you don't work hard, you will not be the crown prince. "

When they heard emperor ningzong's severe criticism, they were too scared to say anything. They just said: "yes, yes..."

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Emperor ningzong asked them to go back to reflect on themselves, and then they went back to the harem to have a rest.
