Chapter 700: Mezzanine

The chief chamberlain put down the gauze curtain on the copper hook for the emperor, and his complaining little eyes glanced at the sleeping emperor inside through the hazy curtain, sighed faintly, and turned his head down.

Early the next morning, after the morning court, before the emperor could summon him, Xiao Yi took the initiative to ask for something.

In the imperial study, the ambergris in the auspicious incense burner rises with curling green smoke, and the winter sunlight shines through the large window of the imperial study, and half of the room is sprinkled with sunlight, but the emperor's book has become a dividing line.

After the bookcase, the emperor drowned in the wide dragon chair, where the sun did not reach, his face was indistinguishable, making it difficult to see his expression.

Because of the incident of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Xiao Yi was a little weak-hearted, and after saluting and greeting, he took a deep breath and said: "Father, last night, Erchen received an urgent report from Wang Daosheng, a transcriber of the Ministry of War, and he found an entrained letter in the arrival of the letter sent to Kyoto. ”

Listening to what Xiao Yi said, the emperor couldn't help but think of the incident that the commander of the forbidden army returned last night: Wang Daosheng, the transcriber of the military department, was taken back to the mansion from outside by Xiao Yi's personal servant.

The commander of the forbidden army saw that Wang Daosheng was summoned by Xiao Yi, and when he arrived at Xiao Yi's mouth, it turned out that Wang Daosheng took the initiative to come to the door.

As Xiao Yi's mouth opened and opened, the emperor's mind flew, and a layer of thick fog surged between his eyebrows, but he was sitting in the dark, and Xiao Yi, who was standing in the bright sun, couldn't see it really.

Xiao Yi said, took out two neatly folded rice paper letters from his sleeve, bowed his head respectfully and raised his hand, and held the letter, "Father, this is the entrained letter." ”

He held it, and the chief chamberlain naturally wanted to pick it up, and while handing it over to the emperor, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yi deeply.

The letter unfolded, and as the handwriting came into view, the emperor's face was blue, and his voice was whirring and pulling because of a moment of anger, like a bellows pulling the wind.

The handwriting on the paper is flying, vigorous and powerful, the dragon and the phoenix dance are uninhibited, free and easy like the wind, just one glance, the emperor can conclude that this is Gu Zhen's handwriting.

The letter agreed that Gu Zhen pretended to lose the battlefield and intended to lose to the Liaodong army, while the Liaodong royal family promised Gu Zhen ten thousand taels of gold.

In the future, Liaodong won a great victory, the imperial court ceded the land, and Liaodong took out half of the feudal land and put it under Gu Zhen's name as his private property.

After reading the words line by line, the emperor was very angry, and the backhand of "snap" slapped the letter paper in his hand on the table, especially puzzled, and grabbed a wolf Haohu pen at hand, and with force in his hand, a pen was pinched by him and torn apart.

Gu Zhen, who is almost the most trusted person in the world, actually colluded with the Liaodong royal family behind his back......

This kind of betrayal is even more angry than the betrayal of King Duan that day.

Shaking off the broken lake pen bamboo, the emperor got up irritably, clenched his fists and said angrily: "Where did you come from this thing?"

was angry, and he had already rushed Xiao Yi's words to the back of his mind.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi was secretly happy in his heart, and repeatedly explained, "It was Wang Daosheng, a transcriber of the Ministry of War, who sent it to Erchen's mansion last night, and Erchen saw that the matter was very important, and he didn't dare to make a claim, so he ......."

"Wang Daosheng......" The dark eyes flashed with anger that almost wanted to burst out of his eyes, and the emperor grinded his teeth and read these three words, "Go, call him!"

If it is said that others are plotting rebellion, with this secret letter written by himself, he believes it without doubt, but at the moment, the person who plotted rebellion is Gu Zhen, Gu Zhen who he would rather give his life to, even if the emperor's heart is full of blood, he can't accept it no matter what.

The chief of the chamberlain received the order and immediately carried it out.

The time of waiting for Wang Daosheng, although it was not long, was enough to calm the emperor's frightened and angry emotions slightly, and he sat down with his body down, even though his heart was still surging and his blood was rampant, but the manic anger on his face dissipated, leaving only a cold and vicious poison.

As the wooden door of the imperial study was pushed open again, followed by the chief attendant, who came in with a thin figure, bowed down his head, dressed in court clothes, trembling all the way to the table, kneeling and saluting, out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yi who was standing on one side.

The scribe, who has no rank, is not a serious courtier, but he also claims to be a minister.

After he saluted, the emperor threw the secret letter on the table in front of him, and said in a calm but cold voice: "You found this letter?"

When Wang Daosheng heard this, his body immediately shook, and he even knelt down and crawled in the direction where the letter landed, picked up the letter and glanced at it hurriedly, and said, "It was discovered by the minister." ”

His voice shook like words.

It's no wonder that he is nervous, one is weak-hearted, and the other is that although he has served in the military department for more than ten years, today is the first time he has faced the saint, and the location is the majestic and solemn imperial study, how can he calm his heart.

Xiao Yi saw that he was trembling, afraid that he would miss the clue and be seen by his suspicious father, so he immediately coughed lightly and said to Wang Daosheng: "Father is wise, what to say, you just tell the truth, don't be nervous." ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's voice, Wang Daosheng's heart was a little more steady.

"Last night, the minister sorted out the file of the military department in recent days, and found this secret letter in a document that has been reviewed, the cover of the document was sandwiched, and the minister accidentally got wet on the cover, and the cover was wet, revealing the clues, and the minister found the mezzanine, and when he opened the mezzanine, he found the secret letter inside. ”

As he spoke, Wang Daosheng lowered his head, took out a document from his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands, "It's the secret letter found here." ”

The chief chamberlain bent down to take it and sent it to the emperor.

The text was indeed reviewed by him personally, and the content on it was noted that Gu Zhen had won a great victory, and the emperor clearly remembered that he was excited and excited when he received this 800-mile urgent letter that day.

That mood was still echoing in his mind, but in front of him, he was about to deal with Gu Zhen's rebellion, and the feeling in his heart was really .....

Clenched his fists and sighed, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, the emperor picked up the mezzanine that Wang Daosheng said and looked at it.

Sure enough, this mezzanine is exquisitely made, and you really can't find it if you don't look closely.

Since this secret letter was sent from the Liaodong battlefield, it must have been done by someone close to Gu Zhen, who could have put this secret letter in? Is this secret letter really written by Gu Zhen himself?

As an emperor, he also knows a lot of tricks, and in this world, there are people who are good at imitating the handwriting of others, so as to confuse the real with the fake.

As soon as he came out, whether someone deliberately framed Gu Zhen or it was true, he had to deal with it carefully.

Gu Zhen, that's Gu Zhen!
