Similarly, the rest of the officials are also holding this idea.

For a while, the hall fell into a strange silence.

But soon, Wen Yushi came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with Lord Wang's proposal.

"As we all know, General Li's family has some conflicts with Mr. Wang's family, and there was a commotion in the capital because of this.

"Now that General Li is handed over to the Dali Temple where Mr. Wang belongs, it is hard to guarantee that Mr. Wang will be suspected of public revenge."

Wang Zechen snorted coldly, and hurriedly said: "Wen Yushi, you get along very well with the Li family, and it's well known that you defend Li Qiusheng like this, isn't it also suspected of covering up?"

Wen Yushi smiled and said: "So, just to avoid suspicion, I didn't say that Li Qiusheng was innocent, and everything has to wait until after the investigation.

"Although I dare to guarantee that General Li is absolutely innocent with the head of the project, I also believe that the emperor will deal with it fairly and will not let some villains succeed!"

"You..." Wang Zechen still wanted to refute.

The emperor interrupted their argument, and turned to ask Xintinghou, "This incident happened in the Northern Expedition Army, although Ai Qing sent the statement of the general in the army, but now it seems that it is difficult to convince the public. Ai Qing thinks, how should we deal with this matter?"

After hearing this, the officials secretly looked at Xintinghou, all envious of the emperor's trust in him.

Marquis Xinting thought for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, Li Qiusheng is not wrong, but the Chen family suspects, logically, investigation is fine, but arresting Li Qiusheng and imprisoning him is unnecessary.

"If he goes to prison, the entire Xindu people will think that Li Qiusheng's charges have been confirmed. The statement to the Li family will be detrimental!

"I suggest suspending Li Qiusheng's duties and contemplating his mistakes behind closed doors. The emperor will send another person to investigate until the truth comes out, and then resume Li Qiusheng's official position."

The emperor nodded, and the officials also felt that such a treatment was reasonable.

Chen Chuan was dissatisfied!

His son is dead, but the murderer can enjoy life at home, eating and drinking well for the New Year? !

When he took two steps on his knees and was about to cry, Xin Tinghou spoke again.

"Your Majesty, the recruits have been in the camp for a long time, and now they have the appearance of elite soldiers. I suggest that you take a three-day holiday and let the recruits go home to visit their relatives, so as to comfort the elders at home."

The emperor immediately said: "Ready to play! During the New Year, we must guard against Jiangbei barbarians making troubles. It is not easy to have a holiday. Now is the right time!"

The ministers seemed to be in disbelief, staring at Xintinghou, not expecting him to take the initiative to give the recruits a holiday!

Thinking of the nagging of the elderly at home, and the wives and concubines wiping their tears from time to time, all the officials were overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to thank them.

"Thank you, Emperor Ron!"

For a while, the Qiankun Palace was completely boiling, because this grace was extremely lively.

Chen Chuan, who was caught in the middle of the crowd, and Wang Zechen, who had a gloomy face, couldn't insist on arresting Li Qiusheng even if they wanted to.

Xintinghou used three days of vacation to easily disintegrate the neutrality of the officials!

Seeing that the officials were happy, the emperor also showed a smile, and directly ordered the Ministry of War to thoroughly investigate the cause of Chen He's death.

Minister of the Ministry of War accepted the mission, and there was no embarrassment in his expression.

Chen Chuan gritted his teeth in hatred.

He is not an idiot, and it is obvious that the Ministry of War is not prepared to devote himself to it.

After all, Marquis Xinting commanded the Northern Expedition Army, so powerful that the Ministry of War did not dare to offend easily.

Now that Hou Ming of Xinting wanted to protect Li Qiusheng, how could the Ministry of War find out that Li Qiusheng was guilty!

The emperor felt that the matter was settled satisfactorily, and after ordering to retire from the court, he invited Xintinghou enthusiastically.

"I got a golden birdcage, would Aiqing want to go and have a look with me?"

If it was someone else, he would definitely agree.

But it happened to be Xintinghou who was invited, "Thank you for your kindness, but the recruits will be on vacation, and the veterans will definitely have a fluttering heart, so I must rush back to the barracks immediately."

The emperor didn't expect to be rejected so simply, he froze for a moment, and his expression turned a little bit bad.

But he didn't say anything, he waved his hand and went back to the apse.

The civil and military officials all turned their heads and walked out, occasionally looking back at Xintinghou, really not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, Xintinghou and the emperor are cousins, and they have made great military exploits with real knives and guns. Otherwise, if it was a different person, I am afraid that they would have reported to Lord Yan long ago.

He dared to refuse the emperor's invitation...

But soon, they put this matter behind them, and they were all anxious to go home to announce the good news.

In the past few months, the children in the family have suffered in the military camp, and the parents and elders are worried at home, and they also cannot eat well or sleep well.

Now, the children are finally coming back. This is a happy event even bigger than the Chinese New Year.

Cleaning the house, preparing the children's favorite meals and new clothes, shoes and socks, every family is very busy.

And as soon as the city gate opened on the second day, countless horse-drawn carriages rushed to the military camp by the river.

After waiting to pick up their little masters, they frantically ran back to Xindu.

Soon, there were cries at the door of every house.

The same is true in Jia's courtyard.

Mrs. Jia hugged her grandson and did not let go, she wiped her tears and looked up and down.

"Grandma's brother Dun, show grandma quickly, you've lost weight, you've lost weight! Woohoo, Brother Dun is suffering."

Mrs. Jia's eyes were also red from crying, and she grabbed one of her son's hands, not daring to let go.

I was afraid that as soon as I let go, my son would disappear immediately.

The mother is worried about the son traveling thousands of miles, not to mention that the son is still in the army, and no one can guarantee when he will fight the barbarians with real swords and guns.

Now that she saw her son standing in front of her, darkened and strong, with a simple and honest smile, she barely let go of her heart.

Mr. Jia and Mr. Jia stood aside, so it was difficult to get close to them.

Mrs. Jia persuaded: "Mother, sister-in-law, it's cold outside, so let's go inside. Brother Dun is on vacation for three days, so I have a lot of free time to talk."

Both Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Jia nodded, and quickly grabbed Jia Dun's hand one by one and entered the room.

The maid brought tea and snacks, which were Jia Dun's favorite food on weekdays.

Baozhu held a box and put it in front of her elder brother, showing off to her elder brother: "Brother, I have made a good friend, I call her Sister Jiayin.

"Sister Jiayin opened a snack shop in the commercial street, and the food they sell is delicious. These are all my favorites, and I specially asked someone to buy them back this morning.

"Brother, try it quickly! If you like it, I'll ask someone to buy it."

Jia Dun'er patted her sister with her big hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you Baozhu, brother can eat anything. Keep your money for yourself, don't buy anything for brother.

"Wait for my brother to go to war in the future, make military achievements, and save the dowry for you if he earns money."

The Jia family was surprised when they heard this, but before they could say anything else, Baozhu yelled: "Brother, you used to cheat my money to gamble, and you also said that girls will be poured out in the future, and the dowry will be cheap for outsiders." Now! Why is it different now?"

Jia Dun blushed, and replied: "Brother was not sensible at the time, so don't argue with me. Brother is different now, and I will treat you well in the future."

Mrs. Jia took her grandson's hand and kept praising him.

"Okay, okay, grandma's Brother Dun finally got his senses! He was led astray by those cronies before, but now he is sensible."
