Chapter Ninety-Nine (II): Turning over and strengthening to death

The envoys of the five countries were killed, and only the envoys of the Northern Qin Dynasty survived alone, and presented Chen Jingxing with the letter of alliance between the two countries to destroy the other four countries. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This letter bears the seal of the two countries.

Now only Chen Jingxing's jade seal falls, which is equivalent to directly declaring war on the other five countries.

This is not a prelude, this is a forced palace!

On the same day, when the envoy of the Northern Qin Dynasty presented this letter of state to Chen Jingxing, he did not say a word and asked the envoy to retreat first. Lu Yuanzhi was then summoned to the palace.

He directly threw the letter of state in front of Lu Yuanzhi: "You cover! I will give you the jade seal! You will seal this seal, you will form this alliance! War against the Five Kingdoms? Unless I go crazy!"

Lu Yuanzhi knelt under the hall, looked at the national letter on the ground, and was also inexplicable, and said in a daze: "Your Majesty! The old minister doesn't know anything about this!

"Don't know anything?" Yin Jiheng next to him said: "This is clearly covered with the seal of your Xiangguo! If there is no prior consent from you, Lu Xiangguo, how can the envoy dare to bring this letter of state to the audience! Lu Xiangguo, Lu Xiangguo! You are so ridiculous! Where is this going to put Daqi? Where is your majesty going to be placed?"

Lu Yuanzhi was furious, pointed at Yin Jiheng and scolded: "Doctor Yin! Don't spew blood! Slander the old man! This matter obviously has nothing to do with the old man!"

Yin Jiheng covered his injured arm and said indignantly: "You still say that it has nothing to do with you? Today, the old man and Lord Gu planned to fold into the palace to join His Majesty to play Lord Xiangguo, and you were just assassinated by assassins! At the east gate of the palace! How could it have nothing to do with you? Lord Gu had been investigating you for a long time, and only then did he have the evidence that you had communicated with the enemy country and had a private covenant to cause chaos, but they were tragically murdered by you! The evidence was robbed! Lord Gu unfortunately died! You are so vicious, Lu Yuanzhi!"

I see......

Only then did Lu Yuanzhi understand this kind of thing, and only then did he see these events that happened today, it turned out that their sword blades had already been aimed at him!

He no longer argued with Yin Jiheng, looked at Chen Jingxing's back, and bowed down: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the old minister has definitely not done what Doctor Yin said! This is slander! This is framing! Please Your Majesty Mingjian!"

Chen Jingxing turned around, walked down, and sat on the steps near the place where the two ministers were approaching, bowing his head slightly, half of his face hidden in the shadow of the pearls, he was extremely calm, and said pausedly: "It's at the gate of the palace...... Imperial court officials, imperial historians...... He was stabbed to death...... One of the three princes, the Imperial Doctor, was all wounded...... It's so ruthless...... Who can do that?"

"Your Majesty......" Lu Yuanzhi buried his head deeper.

Chen Jingxing raised his face slightly and said, "Lord Xiangguo, I don't ask anything else, you are my benefactor, what can I do with you?"

"Your Majesty......" This was Yin Jiheng and Lu Yuanzhi shouting at the same time, one sad and indignant, and the other angry.

He picked up the letter of state on the ground, and continued, "I just want to ask you, Lord Xiangguo, what should I do with this letter of state?"

Lu Yuanzhi pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, the authenticity of this letter is suspicious, and at this time, the envoy should be taken down immediately and interrogated strictly! There must be someone behind this who is making a conspiracy ......."

Chen Jingxing snorted and interrupted him: "Heh, in the capital of my Great Qi, five envoys have just died, and they haven't yet confessed, and they want to lock up another one?

Lu Yuanzhi felt a chill in his heart, looked at Chen Jingxing, and said, "But Your Majesty, if you don't find out, you can't explain to the five countries." ”

Chen Jingxing stood up and walked slowly in front of him: "Do you know what the envoy of the Northern Qin Dynasty said to me? He said that this letter of state was established by meeting with him in person...... He also said that thanks to our Great Qi for showing sincerity and killing the envoys of the five countries, he Northern Qin will definitely do his best to help Great Qi conquer other small countries......"

Listening to his tone, Lu Yuanzhi knew that he must have believed it, so what was the use of him explaining anything at this time?

Lu Yuanzhi took a step back, kowtowed in front of him, and said pleadingly: "Please let Your Majesty allow the old minister to investigate in detail, the old minister will find out the truth, prove his innocence, and give an explanation to all countries!"

Chen Jing walked to the bottom of the hall, and was on the ground with him, looking at him deeply, there was a cold chill in his eyes, and he was silent for a long time: "Okay, Lord Xiangguo, go and check......

Lu Yuanzhi stood up three times and said calmly: "Thank you, Lord Longen, the old minister retires." ”

He walked out of the Golden Palace, and only Chen Jingxing and Yin Jiheng were left in the hall.

Yin Jiheng knelt down and bowed for a long time, and said in a humble voice: "Your Majesty! How can you let him go so easily? Lu Yuanzhi ignored the imperial authority and openly collaborated with the enemy, causing the country to fall into danger, so how difficult it was for Your Majesty, how could you let go of such a sinister minister? Your Majesty...... Master Gu died so miserably......"

Chen Jingxing sighed, closed his eyes, and said in a lamented voice: "But Doctor Yin, what can I do? Doctor Yin still can't see the general trend of the court? If I just punish him for his crime, how many people below will oppose it? Why do I always turn a blind eye to the impeachment of the Lu family many times in the Imperial History Observatory? Is it because of ...... The general trend of the court...... Moreover, I don't want your people from Yushitai to fall into Gu Qingxuan's fate......"

Yin Jiheng understood, "Please be relieved, the old minister will do his best to remove the calamity for His Majesty, so that His Majesty will no longer have to worry about the future!

……

After Yin Jiheng retired, Chen Jingxing sat alone in the empty Mingtang Golden Hall for a long time, and then he went to the Laiyi Hall and sat in the Laiyi Hall for a long time.

The next day, Yin Jiheng led all the Imperial Historical Observatory to supervise the Imperial History Book to impeach Lu Yuanzhi for colluding with the enemy and harming the country, and for the chaos of the dynasty.

Just when Lu Yuanzhi and his party were gearing up and preparing to fight to the death with this party, the eldest princess of Jinyi, who had resigned from the dynasty for more than ten years, met with her and also wrote to impeach Lu Yuanzhi.

……

He once confronted the envoys of the Northern Qin, and the envoys of the Northern Qin were tight-mouthed and clenched their previous words. After the envoys of the five countries were assassinated, the envoys of Northern Qin were closely guarded by the guards sent by the imperial court, and Lu Yuanzhi had no way to use coercive means against him, after all, Daqi at this time really couldn't deal with any war.

He tried his best to walk on thin ice, but how did he know that none of the envoys of the Six Kingdoms survived, and the first to be killed was the envoys of Northern Qin.

As early as on the way to Daqi, the real envoys of the Northern Qin and their teams were all killed by Hong Luotian's people, who pretended to be envoys, held the envoys of the Northern Qin, and took the national letter forged by Gu Qingxuan, and came to Chang'an to stir up the situation in the city.

What can Lu Yuanzhi find out?

The Great Qi Imperial Court urgently needed an explanation to the other five countries, and Chen Jingxing knew that the best explanation for this was Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi also knows.

The last straw that crushed Lu Yuanzhi was that three days later, news came from the palace that Queen Lu Yuanye had died of illness.

This time, it's so good, he has no scruples anymore, and he was finally forced into a desperate situation.

The queen drove the house, the whole country mourned, and Chang'an City became a city full of plain water. The court was closed for half a month, and the palace was closed to mourn.

……

The whole Chang'an City is doing funerals, and so is the Gu family.

Gu Qinghuan and Gu Qingfeng were still in prison, Gu Qingning took care of everything, visited them every day, and also learned about the situation in prison that day, afraid that Lu Yuanzhi would attack them again, so he asked Yin Qixiu to help pay attention.

The Gu family unanimously announced that Gu Qingxuan was dead. These days, because of various relationships, many people come to Gu's mansion to "run for funeral", and Gu Qingning has done a good job.

However, Gu Qingxuan is still alive and well, recuperating at home every day. The Gu family and the Jiang family did not go out of the door all day long, and they wholeheartedly handled the "funeral" in the house.

……

Soon, Lu Yuanzhi still learned about the seizure of King Jinxuan's dragon talisman, and suspected that the Grand Duke of Jinyi mainly ordered the Imperial Forest Army to plot a move, after all, the safety of the entire palace fell into her hands, and he had to be careful.

Later, his palace eyeliner told him that the eldest princess of Jinyi had taken advantage of the closure of the inner palace to put the emperor under house arrest, intending to force the emperor to order the eradication of the Lu family.

He entered the palace several times to ask for a meeting, but there was no hope.

The hearts of the people in the court have been lost, and the hearts of the people in the palace have been confused, what else does he have to scruple about?

At this time, there is only one last resort, and whoever makes the first move will win......

At the end of March, the eldest princess of Jinyi went to the Tianyi altar in the evening to pray for the royal family, which was a good day and a good time selected by Qin Tianjian, and there were only a few entourages accompanying the guards.

Lu Yuanzhi waited, this is the best opportunity.
