Chapter 505: With Him Without Me
Zhao Fengyao looked at Zhuo Yijia fixedly from the moment she entered the secret room. There was no expression on his face. looked at Bei Liang who followed behind him, and his thoughts were far away.
He remembered that this man was the person who hugged her outside the window of her wing room on Zhuo Si's birthday many years ago.
Zhao Fengyao lowered his head and lowered his eyes. My heart was sour.
Zhuo Yijia did not wear a mask, this was the first time that the ministers saw Zhuo Yijia's face except for Uncle Zheng Tian.
Everyone was amazed.
Not to mention the length of nine feet, three heads and six arms. This general who killed through Western Qi should be five big and three coarse. Even if the figure has been seen for a long time, I still think that it is a terrifying face.
I never thought that it was a cold and glamorous color.
Zhuo Yijia stood in front of his seat, and then rushed to the ministers who sat down, clenched his fists and bowed deeply: "The streamer has seen all of you. ”
In terms of official position in this world, she is inferior to everyone in front of her.
And she didn't think about revealing the identity of her previous life.
In this way, it is necessary to bow according to the official position.
Seeing Zhuo Yijia so polite, the ministers next to him also hugged their fists and politely saluted: "The general is polite." ”
Zhuo Yijia straightened up and compared his hands. When all the ministers in front of him sat down, he lowered his body and sat down.
"I have summoned all the ministers today to discuss important matters." After Zhuo Yijia sat down, he said straight to the point: "Early this morning, Concubine Lan hanged herself in the cold palace, presumably you already know. ”
The ministers below nodded. Uncle Zheng Tian and Liu Wenliang both nodded in response: "I knew it early in the morning." ”
The ministers chimed in.
"Early this morning, when I entered the palace, I saw the two generals of the Zhuo family waiting outside the East Pavilion to see the emperor, but they were not summoned. waited for a morning, and finally was sneaked back by the emperor. After Zhuo Yijia said these things concisely, he turned his head and swept towards everyone: "What do adults think of this matter?" ”
Seeing that Zhuo Yijia finished speaking unequivocally, the ministers in front of him looked at Zhao Fengyao, who had been sitting on the top and had been bowing his head and thinking deeply, but had never said a word, and they all looked at each other.
After that, Xiao Tong, the secretary of the ministry, opened his mouth. He first looked at Zhao Fengyao, and found that Zhao Fengyao had been keeping his head down and didn't know what he was thinking, and then turned his head to look at Zhuo Yijia: "This official thinks that the matter of Concubine Lan is strange and weird. From entering the cold palace to hanging himself for more than a month, no one in the Zhuo family has ever seen it. If you think about it, there must be an ulterior internal cause. ”
Zhuo Yijia listened to Xiao Tong's words and nodded: "What Lord Xiao said is reasonable, let's not talk about what the internal cause is, as the Lord said, the people of the Zhuo family have never seen it at a glance from Concubine Lan Guifei entering the cold palace to finally hanging herself, at this time, don't the adults think that it is the time when the mood swings in the court are the greatest?" ”
Zhuo Yijia said, his voice slowed down, and the afterglow swept over everyone, as if unintentionally, he swept past Zhao Fengyao, who was propped up on the table with his head bowed and said nothing, and his face could not be seen clearly. continued: "Zhuo's family room is especially. ”
After the words were spoken, there was silence in the secret room for a moment, and everyone's faces were solemn, and their eyes became serious when they looked at Zhuo Yijia.
After a while, Jiang Guozi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, looked at Zhuo Yijia, and opened his mouth in a deep voice: "What does the general mean, now is a good time?" ”
"Isn't it?" Zhuo Yijia looked at Jiang Guozi, leaned forward, his legs were spread apart, his hands were propped on his legs, and he asked rhetorically.
Bei Liang, who was sitting on the side, listened to the words, reached out and poured a cup of tea, touched the heat of the cup, and then handed it to Zhuo Yijia, who kept talking as soon as he came in.
Zhuo Yijia naturally took it, drank it in one gulp, and put it back in Bei Liang's hand.
"Didn't you say before that you still want to go back to the Northlands to garrison?" Zhao Fengyao, who had not spoken, sat up straight, tilted his head and looked at Zhuo Yijia indifferently.
Zhuo Yijia said before that the time has not come, after the capital overthrows the Sun family, she will go back to the north, and after rectifying the army in the north, she will wait for the next opportunity to enter Beijing in one fell swoop.
"That was before." Zhuo Yijia also turned her head, looked at Zhao Fengyao fixedly, and said even more coldly and indifferently: "Now that the situation has changed, Concubine Lan Guifei died inexplicably in the queen, which is the best time for us to win over the Zhuo family." ”
"It's also the best time to raise troops." Bei Liang, who had been sitting behind Zhuo Yijia, slowly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. took Zhuo Yijia's words and said.
Zhao Fengyao's originally indifferent face suddenly darkened when he heard Bei Liang's words.
He raised his eyes and stared at Bei Liang, his face was cold and terrifying, and the hand placed between his hips was tightly pinched: "Who are you?" Zhuo Si's subordinates? ”
Bei Liang paused with his hand holding the teacup, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Fengyao, who was suppressed with anger, and then turned his head to look at Zhuo Yijia next to him, and coughed. put it in the cup, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhuo Yijia: "You tell him." ”
Zhuo Yijia looked at Bei Liang, turned his head, first glanced at Zhao Fengyao, and then turned his head to glance at the ministers who were sitting below with a questioning face, and said: "This name is called Bei Liang, and he is the righteous son of Hu Xushen, the commander of the first forbidden army. He is also a senior general of the former Imperial City Forbidden Army. ”
Hearing this, everyone who still had doubts in their hearts nodded one after another, it turned out to be the righteous son of the former emperor's henchman, and speaking of which, he was also the former emperor's confidant.
"If I'm not mistaken, Commander Hu's righteous son is a kid of unknown origin, right?" Zhao Fengyao turned his head and said in a light tone.
Zhuo Yijia turned his head and looked at Zhao Fengyao with a cold face and frowned: "That prince should also know that he is the general who holds the 100,000 troops of the former emperor to protect the south. ”
The ministers in the secret room all gasped. Turning his head to look at Bei Liang's expression, his expression changed.
Bei Liang sat behind Zhuo Yijia and looked at Zhao Fengyao indifferently.
Zhuo Yijia's words were originally about things, but in Zhao Fengyao's ears, they all became the maintenance of Beiliang. The face that was originally frozen became even darker.
He turned his head to look at Zhuo Yijia, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Zhuo Yijia looked at Zhao Fengyao's incomprehensible appearance and ignored it anymore. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the ministers: "Do you still have scruples?" ”
The ministers who sat down shook their heads one after another.
"I have." Zhao Fengyao next to him sat upright, turned his head to look at Zhuo Yijia, and said coldly: "I don't know him, so I can't discuss such an important matter together." ”
Zhuo Yijia kept it on the table tightly, and looked at Zhao Fengyao's face tightened: "Since you know that what you are discussing today is an extremely important matter, do you still not know what to say?" ”
The ministers who sat down were shocked by this inexplicable conversation. His gaze was incomprehensible and incredulous, circling on Zhao Fengyao and Zhuo Yijia.
Listening to Zhuo Yijia's words of scolding himself for Bei Liang, Zhao Fengyao looked at Zhuo Yijia fixedly, and his cold face was also tense. His eyes turned red, and then he slowly turned his head. Narrowing his eyes, he had already stood up when he raised his head, and then stroked the robes on both sides of himself: "Where he is, there is no son of this world." ”
