Chapter Seventy-One: Suspicion
Li Wangshan immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know about this!" ”
The emperor let out a suspicious "oh", "But it's not too late for you to know now." ”
Li Wangshan said: "Your Majesty, although Weichen's nephew lives in my house, what does he do on weekdays, Weichen never asks, after all, his own children can't take care of it, and he doesn't have a father." ”
"Oh." The emperor still responded very simply.
"Your Majesty, Weichen heard that His Royal Highness King Yi has always loved to travel in the mountains and rivers, eat, drink and have fun, and he once jointly played an impeachment and deducted his money. His Royal Highness and Weichen have a grudge! And Weichen's nephew, who is not a product, also loves this set, and it is estimated that he met in which restaurant, so he got together. ”
There was silence in the tent for a moment, and Qin Ji said softly: "The emperor doesn't believe his words. ”
Sure enough, the emperor said: "I didn't ask about your relationship with King Yi, nor did I ask why they met. ”
Li Wangshan was quite calm, and replied: "Weichen thinks that explaining the relationship clearly is a good thing for the emperor and Weichen, in case there is a gap between the monarch and the minister because of a misunderstanding, it will not be good." The emperor is the king of the Holy Ming, and he must understand the stakes better than Weichen. ”
The emperor chuckled, "What Li Aiqing said is very right. ”
Li Wangshan laughed a few times and said with emotion: "The emperor talked about it today from the beginning of Weichen's career, which made Weichen feel a lot of emotion. ”
"I didn't expect it to be so many years. The people who accompany me come and go, and only a few of you are truly loyal to me. Among them, only Qin Aiqing is the most unswerving. ”
Li Wangshan did not dispute this.
The emperor sighed a few times, and asked faintly, "What does Li Aiqing think?" ”
Li Wangshan thought that the emperor would sigh and pass, but he didn't expect to ask him what he meant.
It seems simple, but in fact, there is a hidden mystery.
As long as the emperor asks, no matter how he answers, whether Qin Ji is loyal or two-hearted, will still be suspected by the emperor.
He gritted his teeth and bowed down, "Wechen is terrified, Wechen doesn't dare to guess the emperor's favored officials at will." In case Weichen said something wrong, causing the emperor and Qin Sheren to be dissatisfied, Weichen Wansi could not escape the blame. ”
"You're going to be perfunctory." The emperor smiled.
The tent was quiet again, with the sporadic sound of tea bowls clashing.
Yu Mingzhi said: "Liwangshan is in a dilemma. ”
"Indeed." Qin Ji leaned against the trunk of the tree and slowly turned the Buddha beads on his wrist, "But there must be substantial evidence, otherwise the emperor will not convict him and King Yi at will." ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "There must be evidence in his house, but there is a lack of a reasonable excuse to search the house." ”
Qin Ji waved his hand, and the young man standing under the tree in the distance immediately stepped forward quickly.
"Go to the gambling house and find a few desperate villains, and tell them that the Li family has recently received a shady sum of money. When the lamp is in charge, the gatekeeper at the back door of the Li family will leave for a short time, which is the best time to flow into the Li family's mansion. As long as Li Wangshan's favorite grandson is kidnapped, the money is at his fingertips, and their family does not dare to report to the official. ”
The young man nodded, "My subordinates understand, so let's do it." ”
Yu Mingzhi watched the young man leave.
At this time, the emperor's voice sounded in the tent again, "Since Aiqing is unwilling to answer this question, then I'll change it." Who does Li Aiqing think instructed that Shangshu Provincial official to frame you? ”
The corners of Qin Ji's mouth hooked up a smug smile, and he turned his gaze and handed Yu Mingzhi a look.
Yu Mingzhi took a gentle step forward, but still cautiously leaned against the small tree to eavesdrop on the conversation in the tent.
Li Wangshan shouted bitterly: "Weichen...... Weichen didn't expect that the court, which had always been united and loyal to the emperor, would commit a big crime of rebellion. Wechen ...... Unwilling to guess who this person is, Weichen is sad and sad. ”
"It's a sad one." Qin Ji sneered: "Pretending to be so innocent and wanting to avoid the topic, it's a pity that it's useless for the emperor at all, because he is already impatient and desperately needs an answer." ”
His words, Yu Mingzhi believed--I am afraid that there is no one in this world who knows the emperor better than him.
"I don't want to listen to a word of these high-sounding words." The emperor's tone was suddenly colder than ice.
"The Emperor's ......"
"Name a person."
"Wechen ......"
"Otherwise, your fate will be exactly the same as those people in front of the big tent."
"Your Majesty!" Li Wangshan hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Weichen really doesn't know why that little official identified Weichen, and I can't imagine who wants to harm the emperor. ”
"Well, I'll give you a few options." The emperor was unmoved, and said: "Is it the Qin Sheren who bought the officials to identify you, or is the King of Yi trying to murder me?" ”
Qin Ji's name suddenly appeared in such a question, and Yu Mingzhi couldn't help but look at him worriedly.
Qin Ji was calm.
Yu Mingzhi said: "I always feel that the emperor is suspicious of you. ”
Qin Ji said: "There is no need to worry, the trust that has been established since he was the crown prince is not easy to destroy. The choice given to him by the emperor was actually to dig a big hole for him. Maybe...... The emperor also thought of using this incident to get rid of King Yi, thinking that King Yi had competed with him for the crown prince back then, even if he looked down on everything now, he couldn't erase this memory. ”
His old god is here, and Yu Mingzhi continues to watch the play.
Li Wangshan said: "Weichen swears to the sky, and there is no second heart. Although Wechen didn't like the style of His Royal Highness King Yi and Qin Sheren, there was no evidence in this matter, and Wechen didn't want to talk nonsense. If the emperor has to point out a person, then Weichen will only have one death to be freed! Ahh
Yu Mingzhi's eyes lit up and clenched his fists.
How can the death of the surnamed Li be so simple!
Qin Ji pressed her shoulder, "He can't die." ”
"Your Majesty, please don't stop Weichen ......," Li Wangshan choked up.
If someone else is present and sees a gray-haired old minister being forced to commit suicide, they may sigh, but for the three people who heard these words, there were only two words - acting.
"Why is Li Aiqing like this? Let's do it, let's draw lots, whose name are you grabbing, who is it? ”
“…… The emperor must not be a child's play, and Weichen would rather die! ”
"Li Aiqing, you really give me a headache. Go, go to the tent and kneel, and punish you for not answering my questions. ”
"Wechen obeys."
The emperor came out of the tent, and the palace people hurriedly ran up to serve, and two other guards escorted Li Wangshan to the front of the big tent.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Yu Mingzhi felt relieved.
"I'm tired, go to the palace to rest for a while." The emperor's voice drifted into his ears at this time, "The people of Qin She are still in the palace, right?" I'm going to talk to him. ”
Before Yu Mingzhi could react, his hand had already been grabbed by Qin Ji and he rushed towards the snow.
