559 confrontations (B)
Liao Chuxiu stood in front of the saint, and said in a deep voice when he heard the words: "This matter is all to blame on Weichen, it is Weichen who is not cautious enough, so that the Wu thief left a disaster before he died." β
Emperor Yongzhen squinted slightly: "Woe?"
Liao Chuxiu directly took out the blood letter he had found in Qu Ning from his arms, presented it in front of him with both hands, and said with a calm face: "The minister was ordered to send troops to Yanghui to capture the traitor Wu Shijun, but he didn't want Wu Shijun to commit suicide in the city before the city was broken, and he left a blood letter. β
Among them, it is not only nonsense that His Majesty killed the monarch and killed his father to usurp power and seize the throne, but also implied that Weichen's father did not die in defeat six years ago, but because His Majesty could not tolerate Weichen's father, he conspired with the Wen and Liu families to ambush him in the war with South Vietnam. β
Liao Chuxiu's words were loud, and before he even waited for Emperor Yongzhen to ask, he directly said all the words in the blood book left by Wu Shijun, and even when he mentioned the words of killing the first emperor and usurping power, he did not hide it at all.
Chen An gasped violently, only thinking that this Liao Shizi was afraid that he was not crazy, and he dared to say anything.
Liao Chuxiu didn't seem to feel that he had said something shocking, so he directly knelt down again with the blood book in both hands, and spoke out loudly.
"The minister was at war with people at that time, and he didn't know that Wu Shijun would leave such a contradiction, and when the minister heard the news and entered the city, Wu Shijun and his parents had already lost their breath, and this blood book had already spread throughout the army. β
"The minister has failed to stop the rumors in time, causing rumors to spread, so that such rebellious words will disturb the holy driver, insult the name of the saint, please your majesty to surrender!"
Emperor Yongzhen originally listened to Liao Chuxiu's previous words, his eyes were stained with haze and even had a killing intent, but when he listened to his later words, he looked slightly stunned. He waved his hand for Chen An to take up the blood book in Liao Chuxiu's hand, and after unfolding it and reading the contents inside, he looked at Liao Chuxiu slightly sideways and asked, "You don't believe what is said in this blood book?"
Liao Chuxiu's face was calm: "I don't believe it." β
"Why?"
"Your Majesty is a king, and your ministers are ministers, if Your Majesty really does something to Weichen's father, how can he leave Weichen, and how can he let the minister lead the troops to the southwest or even reuse it as a minister?"
After Liao Chuxiu finished speaking, he said directly: "Wu Shijun's rebellion is all because he plotted against the Wen family, if he already has such a handle in his hands, why would he still embark on the road of rebellion, instead of using this matter to protect himself?"
"It is indeed a bit strange that Chen's father was defeated in the South Vietnam expedition back then, and the minister has been investigating this matter all these years, but it is too far-fetched to say that this matter is related to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can really let Wu Shijun do such a secret thing, it means that he is a person close to Your Majesty, so why should he rebel today?"
Liao Chuxiu's words were clear: "Before the minister returned to Beijing, he showed this blood letter to the minister's grandfather, and was reprimanded as nonsense. The Wu family conspired against the first, and Wu Shijun was disloyal later, how could he be credulous in what he said?"
Emperor Yongzhen listened to Liao Chuxiu's words, squinted slightly at the look on his face, and the light in his eyes almost wanted to see him through, but Liao Chuxiu just knelt there, neither overly covering up, nor deliberately avoiding it, and his expression and posture seemed to be as he said.
He was quiet for a moment, and then his face gradually warmed up: "You are a sensible person, get up." β
Liao Chuxiu thanked him when he heard this, and then stood up.
"I am still worried that you will be confused by Wu Shijun's words, and you will do something unwise with me, which will affect the friendship between our monarchs and ministers, but I don't want you to see it so clearly, but it has a little bit of your father's demeanor back then, if I had known this, I would not have been in such a hurry to call you back to Beijing. βγ
Liao Chuxiu listened to Emperor Yongzhen's words and didn't speak, and sure enough, after Emperor Yongzhen finished speaking, he turned his voice again: "But since you have returned to Beijing, you can rest for a long time, you have worked hard to lead the troops south this time, you have made meritorious efforts in quelling the rebellion, and I will definitely reward you." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty. β
After chatting with Liao Chuxiu for a few more words, Emperor Yongzhen suddenly glanced Liao Chuxiu up and down and asked, "I remember, you are also over twenty years old this year, and the mansion can make a family appointment for you?"
Liao Chuxiu showed some confusion on his face, and shook his head: "My mother already has a family that she likes, and she has also negotiated marriage with that side, but someone in the other party's mansion passed away a few years ago, and she has to keep a three-year filial piety period." β
Emperor Yongzhen narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "I don't know which girl it is?"
Liao Chuxiu smiled embarrassedly: "It's the daughter of an uncle in Hefu County." β
Emperor Yongzhen originally thought that Liao Chuxiu's family affairs would be women in Beijing, and he thought about the courtiers who might have different intentions in Beijing, but he didn't think that the relatives Helan Jun was looking for for him would actually be people from Hefu County, although Hefu County is the place of Helan Mingquan, but as far as he knows, there are no famous families with special backgrounds there, and nothing can involve the families in Beijing.
He couldn't help but relax a little in his heart just now, although he regretted that he couldn't give Liao Chuxiu a marriage, and even used the marriage to contain the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, but in the end, the woman was not the daughter of a powerful person, and the woman's family was mourned, and she couldn't get married within three years, which undoubtedly made him more at ease for Emperor Yongzhen.
Emperor Yongzhen's eyes smiled a lot: "That's good, Mrs. Liao's vision is naturally not bad, the girl who can get into her eyes must be really good, I originally thought that there was a daughter in Prime Minister Li Cheng's mansion who had not been out of the cabinet, and her face and posture were all superior, I thought that if you didn't get married, I would be a matchmaker to point this girl to you, but now it seems that I don't need to mix." β
When Liao Chuxiu heard this, he hurriedly said sincerely: "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, the minister likes the minister's fiancΓ©e very much." β
"Haha!"
Emperor Yongzhen looked at Liao Chuxiu's gentle expression and sincere words when he mentioned his fiancΓ©e, but he believed that he was really sincere to that woman, and he said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, I know that you are in love, and I will not do the thing that breaks down the marriage." β
"I'm afraid you'll be tired all the way back to Beijing, so let's go back and rest first, and as for the southwest affairs, we'll talk about it after tomorrow. β
Liao Chuxiu didn't refuse, but after saluting Emperor Yongzhen, he said goodbye and left.
From beginning to end, the person hiding in the imperial study never showed up, and the person in the cubicle never took a single step.
After Liao Chuxiu left, the others in the imperial study left one after another, and Emperor Yongzhen was holding the blood book in his hand, and there was no smile on his face.
Chen An cautiously said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Liao Shizi did not believe the slander by mistake, and he is the same as in the past, how can Your Majesty still be worried?"
"As always?"
Emperor Yongzhen snorted coldly: "Do you really think that he is not suspicious of me, or do you think that he really did not believe in Wu Shijun?"
