Wei Mingxu also nodded, it has come to this point, Lin Yiqian really has no need to lie.

Lin Zhixuan continued: "But she is indeed harmful to my thoughts, so it is not considered that she has been wronged. It's just that this time, the prince thought about it, if it was really her, then the poison should have been used up a long time ago, or after it was used, he should have thought about throwing away the excess quickly, how could he wrap it up and leave it in his room, until something happened, Du Qin went to check, and then he remembered that he was going to lose it?"

Wei Mingxu said: "There are indeed still doubts, I will let Du Qin continue to investigate." I will definitely not let the troublemakers continue to stay in the house. ”

Liuli remembered something at this moment, mentioned it, and said, "At the beginning, that bowl of soup was brought to Niangniang by Qiu Ju. If Dongmei hadn't happened to come over, the one who was sick at the moment would be Niangniang. ”

Qiu Ju seemed to have been touched by someone, and glared angrily at Liuli: "That dipping sauce is also poisonous, but you picked it up with your own hands! ”

After speaking, Qiu Ju knelt down to Lin Zhixuan and said: "Qiu Ju has followed Niangniang for so many years, all the way from Hangzhou to the capital, I would rather not get married, but also stay by Niangniang's side to serve, today to prove my innocence, please also ask Niangniang to order someone to pull me to torture." ”

Lin Zhixuan looked at the two big girls beside her, and she also felt a headache, so she only said: "That's it, if you say anything angry to me here, Du Qin will check it out." If it really finds out which of you is there, it's not too late to ask for it. ”

Wei Mingxu said: "Before you check clearly, all the people are suspicious, and you also look at each other, if you find anyone who has any abnormalities, immediately tell this king." ”

Wei Mingxu did not clarify for them, nor did he express his trust, but expressed more suspicion and asked them to pay more attention to each other.

The next day, the Northwest Army quickly stepped up and returned to Korea ahead of schedule.

Xie Wenliang had already received a letter from his mother, saying that Wei Mingxu's intention was not good for Zhongyong Gong, Su Yu had already sent a letter to Wei Mingxu, and today looked at Xie Wenliang's aggressive appearance, but Su Yu did not follow Xie Wenliang to the court, but first returned to Jingwang's mansion, did not see Wei Mingxu, so he visited Lin Zhixuan, and then changed into court clothes, according to the rules of the audience, handed over the festival to the Ministry of Rites, and then entered the palace to meet him.

Today, Xie Wenliang dressed up in the palace, but Wei Yanting and Xie Bingchu both said that they were sick and did not come to the court.

Wei Mingxu's illness is cured today, looking at Xie Wenliang who came in military uniform, Wei Mingxu has not yet spoken, Xie Wenliang accused Wei Mingxu of poisoning Wei Yanting and Xie Bingchu in Jingwangfu yesterday.

Wei Mingxu said solemnly: "Does Wu Yinghou have evidence?"

Xie Wenliang said: "My father and King Su were forced by King Jing in King Jing's Mansion yesterday, drank poisoned tea, and the abdominal pain was unbearable, and they were all carried out of King Jing's Mansion! Isn't this evidence?"

Wei Mingxu said indifferently: "If you say poisoning, what kind of poison is this king throwing in?"

Xie Wenliang was originally asked, and only said: "This general has just returned to Beijing, and he has not yet returned to the house, so naturally I don't know what kind of poison you gave to my father! But you openly poisoned the officials of the court and the king of the county, according to the law of the Great Zhou, his crime should be punished!"

Wei Mingxu sneered and ordered: "When the King of Sujun and the Duke of Zhongyong drank tea in the palace of the king yesterday, they were fine, why are they sick today? ”

A little eunuch was ordered to go to the Tai Hospital to summon the imperial doctor to see Xie Wenliang and Wei Yanting.

At this time, someone outside spread that the Northwest Army and the Mongolian princess had arrived in Beijing, and the minister Su Yu had returned the festival and was now asking to see him outside the palace gate.

Wei Mingxu listened to the words of the guards, and allowed Su Yu to meet him, and then looked at Xie Wenliang: "Marquis Wu Ying's policy keeps telling this king about the laws of the Great Zhou, so may I ask, what crime should the military generals be guilty of going to the palace?"

When Xie Wenliang heard this, he said: "Ben Hou is just in military uniform, and he doesn't have a sword!

Wei Yanxian heard that Wei Yanting and his maternal grandfather Xie Bingchu were both killed by Wei Mingxu, and now the only thing he can rely on is Xie Wenliang's 50,000 army, Wei Yanxian hurriedly said: "Wu Yinghou is returning victorious, I will reward him, and he can go to the court!"

The only exception for military generals to go to court with swords is the emperor's decree. Wei Yanxian is now pro-government, so he can naturally send this decree.

Wei Mingxu said: "The emperor's will is naturally good, but this king thinks it is inappropriate, a Great Zhou Dynasty has not fought for ten years, where does the victorious return of Wu Yinghou begin? The first thing is to change the court clothes, return the tiger talisman and the festival, and then enter the palace to meet him, which is not appropriate after all. ”

But Wei Yanxian had already spoken, and Wei Mingxu didn't want to blame anything at the moment, only Wei Mingxu mentioned asking Xie Wenliang to return the tiger talisman for a while, Xie Wenliang disagreed very much, and only said: "The DPRK and China have not yet reached a conclusion on how to settle the northwest army, and the minister does not know where to return the tiger talisman, which should have been returned to the military department, but now that the emperor has been in power, this tiger talisman should naturally be returned to the emperor." ”

Wei Yanxian was already a little gearing up, but Wei Mingxu said: "Regarding how to place the Northwest Army, the imperial court has already had a clear order, and Wu Yinghou, as a general, is really derelict in his duty if he doesn't know the imperial decree!"

Xie Wenliang said: "That's just a decree of King Jing, and there are still difficulties in the household department, and the emperor has not yet approved it." If it is not issued by an explicit decree, it is not a decree. ”

Liao Qing also hurriedly stood up and said: "Back to the prince, what Wu Yinghou said is even, today's disasters are frequent, and the taxes of the three provinces have been reduced or exempted, and the household department is unable to make ends meet, and the prince also sent an envoy to the Western Regions at the beginning of the year, spending three million taels of silver, and this summer to establish Ji'an Hall and the Nursing Home, and it is ten million taels of silver to spend, where is there so much silver to settle the 50,000 army now." ”

Wu Yinghou said: "Before the minister returned to Beijing, he heard about it, and the officers and men of the three armies were also very sympathetic to the victims. ”

Wei Yanxian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Sure enough, Marquis Wuying is loyal to the country, and this move is also the loyalty and patriotism of the soldiers. ”

Wei Mingxu didn't listen to Wei Yanxian's words at all, and only said: "This king never thought that Marquis Wu Yinghou would bring out the Northwest Army, and he would be so loyal to the country, which is really respectable and lamentable." Then, according to the request of Marquis Wu Ying, the resettlement silver of the Northwest Army will be halved, fifty taels per person, and each will return to his hometown to farm and raise horses. This placement silver can also do some small business, and it can also be regarded as contributing to the peaceful and prosperous era of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”（）
