Chapter 17: Turmoil in the court

Shangguan Yunque has been waiting for the news of Shangguan Kongyue's death for the past few days, so as to implement his plan, but the news that has come in the past few days is that Shangguan Kongyue is not dead and still has a breath left, which makes him very entangled, and he can't run over and kill him directly, so he has to implement his plan in advance.

Above the court, the civil and military ministers stood on both sides separately, the left and the right, among the civil officials, it was naturally Prime Minister Bai Yi who stood at the forefront, and among the military generals was a man who looked like a handsome man standing lazily at the front, this person was the general of Zhenguo Baili Qing, although he looked like a weak scholar, but no one could compare with him in Dachen in terms of killing the enemy in battle.

Recently, His Majesty Dachen is in a very bad mood because of the poisoning of Shangguan Kongyue, and the civil and military officials are also cautious in their words and deeds, the most pitiful is Lord Yin Zhangshuo Zhang of Kyoto Prefecture, the official position is not high, but he is in charge of the security of the entire capital, and now the five princes have an accident in the capital, and the emperor naturally wants to find him for answers, so as long as he goes to the court, the emperor will ask. It's just that today, I don't know why Lord Zhang didn't need the emperor to ask him about the five princes, so he stepped forward to mention it to the emperor himself.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play. Zhang Shuo stepped forward, folded his hands and said to His Majesty the Emperor directly above.

"What's the matter with Zhang Aiqing? Isn't it true that the person behind the poisoning has been found?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen is going to report this matter to Your Majesty. Zhang Shuo said.

When the civil and military officials in the court heard Zhang Shuo's words, they all thought that he had found the person behind the scenes, and they all looked at him, except for Bai Liqing, who seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating; at the beginning, the prince caught the manservant who was hiding poison in the princess's mansion, and immediately handed him over to the palace Yin Zhang Shuo, but the next morning after handing it over, he found that the man was dead in prison, for this reason, the prince and Zhang Shuo were both scolded by Shangguan Fengjin pointing their noses, although the person was not in the hands of the prince, but the person was handed over by Shangguan Xuri。

"No more nonsense. Shangguan Fengjin said. "Your Majesty, Wechen hasn't found the person behind the scenes, but Wechen found out before His Royal Highness King Yin was poisoned..." Zhang Shuo said and looked at Prime Minister Bai Yibai who was standing in front of him, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

The rest of the people also saw Zhang Shuo's small movements, and they were all suspicious, but they were related to Bai Xiang at this time.

"Say whatever you want, do whatever you want. Shangguan Fengjin said.

"Yes, Wechen found out that before His Royal Highness King Yin was poisoned, the two young ladies of the Bai family had left the table, and the direction when they left the table was the only way for the maid to deliver tea, so Wechen suspected that it might be Bai..." Before Zhang Shuo's words were finished, he was drowned out by a crowd of voices.

"Could it be that Lord Zhang wants to say that the Prime Minister instructed the two young ladies to poison the tea of His Royal Highness King Yin, this is really possible, it is really ridiculous. Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites said.

"Indeed, how could Prime Minister Bai go to murder His Royal Highness, even if he wants to poison him, he will not let his daughter go, Lord Zhang slandered the ministers of the DPRK and China like this, do you know what crime he has committed?"

"The prime minister is the mainstay of my Dachen, how can he harm the prince somewhat, it's just nonsense. In the dissatisfaction of everyone, Zhang Shuo was also under great pressure, but the water that was spilled out of the words was not good to retreat now, not to mention that this was the order of the third prince, so he had to bite the bullet.

As for the person concerned, Bai Yi didn't seem to care at all, just stood there calmly and looked at everyone.

Bai Liqing, one of the military attachés, seemed to be woken up by everyone at this time, and his face was displeased, but he was a little interested in what everyone was talking about.

"Enough, above the court, what kind of noisy and noisy it is. Shangguan Feng Jin said angrily.

His Majesty the Emperor has spoken, of course, no one dares to disobey, and before the time to breathe has arrived, the court is so quiet that even the sound of mosquitoes can be heard.

"Zhang Shuo, you are guilty. Shangguan Feng Jindao.

In Shangguan Fengjin's opinion, it is impossible for Bai Yi to betray him, this is completely someone who wants to frame him, Bai Yi is not only his most trusted minister but also his confidant, it was Bai Yi who helped him ascend the throne in the first place, and the two were friends before they became emperors, for Bai Yi, Shangguan Fengjin knows very well.

"Wei Chen didn't know, Wei Chen just told the facts, Your Majesty, if the two young ladies of the Bai family didn't go to poison, then why did they go to the small courtyard so far away from the banquet, Wei Chen just wanted to investigate the facts of this matter, and all those who could be poisoned Wei Chen wanted to investigate it well, not letting go of the slightest possibility, and hoped that His Majesty would be fulfilled. Zhang Shuo lifted his robe and knelt in front of the hall and said with a righteous face, but he didn't expect the emperor to ask him directly.

Shangguan Yunque, who was standing on the side, also didn't expect Shangguan Fengjin to be so partial to Bai Yi, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and glanced at General Lin Daolin on the right.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that what Lord Zhang said is right, since everyone thinks that it is impossible for Lord Prime Minister to do such a thing, then why not let Lord Zhang check it, if Lord Prime Minister is really upright, he is naturally not afraid of shadows. Lin Dao knew that it was time for him to speak when he received Shangguan Yunque's gaze, so he immediately stepped forward and said.

"That's true, we believe in the Prime Minister, but after all, this matter can't be solved by just believing, saying that your daughter will not leave the table early or late, but she will leave the table during the time when the maid is serving tea. "It was Xiahou Ye who spoke.

There are allies in this court, and there are naturally enemies, and Xiahou Ye is in a different camp from Prime Minister Bai, the two are both important ministers who helped Shangguan Fengjin ascend to the throne, one article and one martial arts, because the two had differences in political opinions at the beginning, and gradually formed two factions in the court, of course, not all people in this faction, and many people remain neutral.

"By all means, Your Majesty, if you really want Lord Zhang to investigate the prime minister, wouldn't it make everyone feel cold, just because the two young ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion are not at the banquet, I wonder if the prime minister of my Dachen will not let the real person behind the scenes succeed. The Ministry of Rites said.

"What does Bai Aiqing think?" Shangguan Fengjin asked. Although he believed in Bai Yi, the emperor was suspicious since ancient times, and after hearing what Yingwu said, he couldn't help but think deeply.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Lord Zhang said is good, the so-called body is not afraid of shadows, Lord Zhang is dedicated to His Majesty, for the sake of the safety of Kyoto, Weichen naturally has no objection. Bai Yi said, judging from the situation of the monarch and the ministers for many years, Shangguan Fengjin was already suspicious of him, and asking him like this was just to open his mouth.

"That's great, but if you don't find out anything, Zhang Shuo, I'm going to ask you. Shangguan Fengjin said.

The so-called emperor's mental technique is to know how to use people, how to use all the useful people in the world for his own use, Shangguan Fengjin did this not only to appease Bai Yi but also to warn Zhang Shuo.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a way to quickly know if the prime minister ordered someone to poison the tea of His Royal Highness King Yin?" Zhang Shuo got up and said.

"What's the way?" Shangguan Fengjin asked.

"I'm afraid that the Prime Minister will be dissatisfied. Zhang Shuo said.

"Master Zhang just said that if this matter can really be resolved immediately, the official will fully cooperate. Bai Yi said. I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

"You should have said it now. Shangguan Feng Jindao.

"The Prime Minister is really righteous. Zhang Shuo said.

"Emperor Qi, the poison in the five highnesses is extremely rare, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to get it, but this poison has a bad place, that is, if you put the poison on your body for more than an hour, there will be the smell of the poison on your body, three days endlessly, and the taste is very light, even you can't find it, the two young ladies stayed in the princess's mansion for more than an hour that day, so as long as you let people search the prime minister's mansion, the two young ladies of the prime minister's mansion can be checked. ”

"I see, presumably the Prime Minister is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and he will not refuse, right, Prime Minister?" said Xia Chengwu, the Marquis of Yingwu, with a smile.

"Xiahou Ye is very concerned about the affairs of this official, if only one can prove the innocence of this official, this official has no objection, but the daughter of this official will never come into contact with poison, let alone the poison" Bai Yi said.

In his heart, he was very dissatisfied with Xia Chengwu, and he naturally understood the cunning in the officialdom, and it was naturally more natural to fall into the well than to send charcoal in the snow, not to mention that he and Xia Chengwu were already at odds, and today it was just his turn.

"In this case, why didn't my father announce the two young ladies to the palace to confront each other, so that he could not only know whether the two young ladies had the smell of poison on their bodies, but also know why the two young ladies left the table that day. Shangguan Xuri said.

"That's fine, go, announce the two of her into the palace. Shangguan Fengjin said to a close attendant.

"Yes, Your Majesty. When he really wanted to sleep, someone sent a pillow to his side, Shangguan Yunque glanced at Shangguan Xuri and thought, it was the first time he saw Shangguan Xuri so pleasing to the eye, originally he was still thinking about whether to mention it himself, but he didn't expect Shangguan Xuri to be so obedient to his heart.
