In the imperial study, Lin Wenzheng knelt in front of the hall without humility or arrogance, and the unique arrogance of the literati was fully displayed in him.

He is more than sixty years old this year, and he is a veteran of the two dynasties, and even Emperor Shengzhao has to be polite to him, not to mention ordering him to come to see him at such a late hour.

Emperor Shengzhao glanced at Zhao Hai and motioned for him to show Master Lin a seat, but the old man ignored it, knelt straight on the ground, and only said: "Look at Your Majesty Xià punish ****, show my great Chu monarchy." ”

Emperor Sheng Zhao knew his stubborn temperament, and said kindly: "Aiqing, please get up first, the ground is very cold, it is not good for Mr. 's health, my future of Da Chu still depends on you, if there is anything, please get up and talk about it." I will not ignore the hearts and galls of loyal ministers and righteous people, and I will not allow them to be cholera. ”

When Lin Wenzheng heard this, he got up as ordered, and after thanking him, he sat on the chair next to him.

At this time, Emperor Sheng Zhao asked: "I have already seen Aiqing's excerpts, but I don't know where the evidence is, such a major event of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is not casually said, if there is no evidence, it is to frame the imperial court officials." I believe that Aiqing will give me a reasonable explanation. ”

"Your Majesty," Lin Wen said to the emperor, "If there is not enough evidence, the minister will not be so sure, and I hope that His Majesty will believe that this matter is by no means groundless." ”

Lin Wenzheng had a righteous face, although he was past the age of the sixtieth year, he was still in good spirits, and looked at Emperor Shengzhao with a pair of eagle eyes: "Although Weichen is a scholar, it is reasonable to say that it is not appropriate to speak of martial arts, but since it is about the rise and fall of my Great Chu, there are some things that have to be said." ”

"In the past few months, the Murong clan has frequently disturbed our realm, but the soldiers on the border have never even seen their generals. Even though Hu Ren is alert, but the Tartars have not been civilized after all, how can they have such intelligence to play me around?"

"It was Wei Chen's expectation that someone in the court must have colluded with the Murong family, which caused our army to be defeated repeatedly. But after all, as an official in the same dynasty and serving the king, he can't be suspicious at will to avoid suspicion, so Weichen never dared to mention this speculation. ”

"But today in the Fuke Building, some people said that they had seen the Prime Minister's family talking to people from other lands. Weichen was afraid that he would be public, so he ordered someone to take him to his home and interrogate him carefully. According to him, although the man was dressed in the ordinary clothes of Da Chu, he had a bearded face, especially a full head of curly hair, and he was not a Da Chu person. After his description, Wei Chen ordered someone to draw down the portrait of the person he described, and asked His Majesty to look at it. ”

As he spoke, Lin Wenzheng took out a portrait and handed it to Emperor Shengzhao from Zhao Hai: "It is this person." ”

Unfolding the portrait, a ray of light flashed in Emperor Shengzhao's mind, and he muttered after a while: "It's him......"

Lin Wenzheng saw the saint's move, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty knows this person?"

Emperor Sheng Zhao put down the scroll in his hand, waved his hand, and ordered Zhao Hai and the people around him to leave, then he paced and nodded: "This person is a cronie of Murong's relatives and nephews. It is the person next to Empress Murong's maternal nephew Long. The queen has no children under her knees, so she likes this nephew very much, and has wanted to pass him on to herself many times, but Murong Qian has many concubines, although there are no concubines, there are many princes, so she has never agreed. ”

"Do you remember? Last year, the eldest prince Murong Yun came to the court, it was this Long Gong who accompanied him, at that time, because of some things, this Long Gong also had a conflict with the inner servants, it was the guard next to him who knocked down ten guards, and I was extremely impressed by this person. ”

If Zuo Xiang really colluded with this person, then his purpose is very clear.

Long Kai needs the support of Zuo Xiang to defeat Murong Qian's sons in the battle for the throne, and Zuo Xiang needs the strength of Murong to realize his dream of being an emperor.

When Emperor Shengzhao thought of this, a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: The grasshopper shook the tree, and he couldn't measure himself. It is really a fantasy for a small Murong clan to want to shake the foundation of Great Chu for thousands of years. He has been an official in the court for many years, but he has not had half a long-term effective calculation.

In the end, it is a mouse's eye.

Thinking of this, Emperor Sheng Zhao suddenly had some suspicions, Zuo Xiang was thoughtful, and he had always done things without revealing anything, even if he really had opposing intentions, how could he show his feet so lightly, and couldn't help but stare at Lin Wenzheng.

Lin Wenzheng was not afraid, he looked at him calmly, got up and knelt down and said: "Weichen's sentence is true, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, that person is in the minister's mansion, and Your Majesty can interrogate him as much as possible." It's just a matter of social welfare, and I hope Your Majesty will investigate thoroughly. ”

Emperor Shengzhao saw that his face was clear-eyed, and he thought that he was also solemn in his daily affairs, although he occasionally had the stinky temper of some literati, but he was never as charming as the courtiers next to him, and stepped forward to help him get up and said: "The Qing family is worried, but at this time, when it comes to the prime minister, it is better not to make a noise, and wait for me to order someone to secretly investigate, if it is really the left minister who betrays the country, I will not spare him." It's just that now that the Murong clan is disturbing the realm, and there is the Qi country watching from the side, if we don't have absolute certainty, we must not mess with ourselves. ”

Lin Wenzheng is a scholar in the end, although he has a tough attitude, he is not a person who admits death, and said: "Weichen respectfully obeys His Majesty's will." ”

Seeing this, Emperor Sheng Zhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "The Qing family is the humerus of me, I will not forget it, it is very late now, rest as soon as possible." As he spoke, he called out to Zhao Hai outside the door and said, "Send someone to escort Lord Lin out of the palace." ”

=====

The moon and stars are scarce, and from time to time the night wind blows through the flowers and plants in the courtyard, reflecting the candlelight and shadows.

The secret guard guarding the dark place of the Guanhai Hall yawned from time to time, and he had been guarding here for some days, but King Ming did not have any wrong moves, and also, in the palace of Chu State, what did he dare to do as a foreign prince?

Seeing that his companion was already a little sleepy-eyed, he pushed it dissatisfiedly and whispered, "Don't sleep, be careful." ”

Even so, he himself began to fight with his eyelids.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a red light rushing into the Ming King's house.

The secret guard suddenly had a spirit, and came to his senses, thinking that there was a fire in the Guanhai Palace, but when he wiped his eyes, he found that there was no abnormal movement, and the red light seemed to have never appeared.

The secret guard felt that something was wrong, and pushed his companion next to him, but heard the man say impatiently, "What's wrong?"

He lowered his voice and said, "Did you see a red light just now, rushing from the sky to King Ming's house?"

The man didn't seem to be awake yet, and he glanced at him and said, "Where did the red light come from, are you too tired to see the wrong eye......?" Do you think it's the holy light descending from heaven, like the empress?"

Although he still felt that something was wrong, when he heard his companion say this, he also began to suspect that he had seen something wrong, since the founding of the Chu State, only the first empress was born with a red light in the sky, and it was rumored by the world that it was mysterious and mysterious, and now how could a foreign prince be in such a situation in the Chu State.

After thinking about it, the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared, but the whole person came to his senses, glanced at his confused companions, and looked at the movements in the hall intently.

In the hall of viewing the sea, King Ming was standing in front of the table to practice calligraphy, and he was not satisfied with several sheets, and the irritability in his heart could not be calmed down, and the failures he wrote were rubbed and thrown into the paper basket with both hands.

Another paper ball was thrown out by him, but it did not go into the paper basket, but was picked up, and King Ming, who was sitting on the back of the chair with a pen, suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears:

"I don't have an appointment to stay overnight and a half, and I knock on the chess pieces and drop the lights. You haven't slept so late, but you're waiting for me?" ......
