CHAPTER XIII
Let's say that Zhao Pingtong was beaten with ten court sticks, and he hasn't gotten better in the past few days, and he only dares to lie on his stomach when he sleeps, and he still walks with a bump. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEarly in the morning, someone suddenly rumored that the prince Heng had arrived, and asked him to meet him. Zhao Pingtong got up in a panic, and when he arrived at the main hall, he found that Qi Heng was already sitting and waiting. And he didn't sit on the main seat, but moved a low stool to sit down next to it.
The prince sat on the lower seat, and his little deputy envoy naturally didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with Qi Heng, but even if he did, he couldn't sit down.
"How big of an official has the deputy envoy been promoted? And let me wait for you. "He's young, and although he tries to be fierce, he's a little less aggressive.
Zhao Pingtong knelt on the ground unhurriedly and sneered, "Weichen doesn't dare." I also ask for your pardon. ”
Seeing that he was not frightened, Qi Heng looked at him with a dark face and did not speak.
"Your Highness, I don't know what's going on?" Zhao Pingtong didn't pay attention to Qi Heng, the abolished prince who was assigned to Chen State, but he was the prince in the end, but he didn't dare to lose his manners on his face.
Qi Heng pretended to look into the distance and said, "I was injured when I first came to Chen Guo. Today, I heard that someone killed an envoy sent by my father, so I came to ask what was going on?! ”
Zhao Pingtong said in his heart It seems that this little highness has been deposed as the crown prince, and he has come here with a full body of anger to play prestige, but he said respectfully on his face, "Back to His Highness, the minister thought that Chen Xiu had seriously injured Lord Wang." Poor Lord Wang died in a foreign country, and King Chen was favoritistic, allowing the real murderer to escape, and finding a woman to confess. ”
"Bold!" Qiheng shouted, "Wang Shengmiao is here, it means that I believe in the Ling Qi Room, and now I have died for no reason, I should seek justice for him!" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Pingtong again, and then changed his words, "I think Lord Zhao is dedicated to his duties, and this matter has been handled well." It's just a small deputy envoy, it's really overkill. Master Su Xiaohou is recuperating from his injuries in Chen, and he happens to reply to Xinling with Lord Zhao, and he can also promote you. ”
The Marquis of Dingyuan has already handed over the military power, and now he has no title, but Su Sheng led the troops in his early years, and there are many old departments in the army, and the lord of Yunzhu is strong, and he also has a great prestige in the court. If you can climb to the Hou Mansion, are you still worried about being promoted? Zhao Pingtong listened to Qi Heng say this, his heart was overjoyed, and he took the disrespectful attitude in front of him to three points first, and said happily, "Thanks to His Royal Highness's favor, the lower officials should be grateful to Dade, serve their lives with death, and thank His Highness for his kind words." ”
Qiheng said, "Thank you for not having to!" Most people know that I have been deposed as the crown prince, and they are not very respectful to me......"
Zhao Pingtong chuckled in his heart, and said with a stiff smile, "Yes, yes, yes."
Qi Heng sighed, "Some people don't understand as well as Deputy Envoy Zhao. Although I am a deposed prince, in the end, I am the prince, and my mother is still the head of the harem and the mother of the country! To disrespect the prince is to disrespect the queen, the son of heaven, and the family. They don't know how to deal with the crime of great disrespect, Deputy Envoy Zhao should know, right? When Qi Heng spoke, he suddenly got up and slapped the table, seeing that Zhao Pingtong's face was pale and suddenly frightened, he also felt funny in his heart.
Zhao Pingtong's brain was stunned just now, and he thought about his disrespect again and again, and only came back to his senses when he heard Qiheng slap the table, and said with a cold sweat, "When you take off your ears and nose, expose yourself to the sun for three days." The injury on his leg and buttocks is not yet healed, and it hurts even more to get up and walk around like this, but he can only endure it.
Qi Heng held back a smile in his heart, and said coldly, "After all, not everyone can be like Deputy Envoy Zhao, who knows that the way to be an official is to love the people and respect the Son of Heaven." Saying that, he took a few steps forward, "When you go to Gaoqu a few times ago, you will see you in the future, and you should also have important things to delay, not because you are disrespectful in your heart." Qi Heng said, "Look at this Chen Guo, there is no one who understands." Take today's Wang Shengmi's incident as an example, I can't ignore it! Otherwise, let this little Chen Guoxiao look down on me! ”
Zhao Pingtong's heart trembled when he heard this, and he immediately bowed his head and bowed, "Please ask Your Highness to be the master!" ”
Qi Heng was secretly happy in his heart, and his heart said that what he was waiting for was your words.
Qi Heng got up slowly and said, "Treat the envoys of the Son of Heaven badly, and don't respect the Qi room!" Qi Heng pretended to be resentful, slammed the teacup on the table, and drank, "The person who injured Lord Wang must not let go!" The person who took care of the king and caused the tragic death of the king is also unforgivable! Then he shouted, "First bring me the people who are serving the king and the quack doctor!" ”
A group of people didn't know what this Qiheng meant, and they trembled when they were shouted by him, and they didn't dare to slack off. But in a moment two children and a doctor came in.
Qi Heng said, "Let me ask you what was the injury of the king's envoy that day?" ”
The doctor replied, "When the king's envoy was sent back, he was covered in injuries, and the two heavy punches in his chest were particularly serious, and the king's envoy shouted that it hurt. ”
"You say so, the king's envoy is still sober when he returns?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment, and only replied, "Yes." ”
"Bring the medicine residue that Wang Shengming took!" Qiheng Road.
Zhao Pingtong was taken aback, "Your Highness, what does this mean?" Mo is not suspected of being poisoned. ”
"What do you mean? I was worried that there was something wrong with this medicine, which cost the life of the king's envoy! Qiheng shouted.
A moment later, someone came to report that there was no medicine in the residue to treat the wound.
Qi Heng looked angry and shouted, "Put this quack doctor who killed Wang Shengyu into prison, and I will personally interrogate him to see who instigated it!" ”
The doctor screamed 'wronged'.
Qi Heng said angrily, "I heard that the king's envoy has an old disease, why don't you have a medicine to cure his old disease?" ”
The doctor was also stunned, and said in a trance, "There is really no ......"
Qi Heng got up and walked over, squatted in front of him, glared and said, "Nothing?" It's the wrong dregs, isn't it? ”
The doctor was so frightened that he was sweating all over the cold day, so he had to follow him and say repeatedly, "Yes, I took it by mistake." ”
Qiheng stood up and said, "Then tell me, what medicine should be in the medicine residue?" ”
Hearing Qi Heng's soothing voice, the doctor suddenly realized, and said busily, "This medicine residue is all medicine for Lord Wang's treatment of old diseases. ”
Zhao Pingtong didn't know that Lu Yan saved Qi Heng, so he never thought that Qi Heng was here to exonerate Lu Yu, and he was stunned when he heard this, and vaguely understood the purpose of Qi Heng's coming. Hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness, it was Lu Yan's daughter who injured the king's envoy, and the evidence is conclusive......"
"You're stopping me?" Qi Heng shouted angrily, "Are you doubting my ability to judge things? ”
Zhao Pingtong said, "The lower officials don't dare!" ”
Qi Heng snorted coldly, "You stopped me from checking the medicine residue before, and now that the truth is revealed, you are blocking it again?" Could it be that you are at odds with the king's envoys and secretly hurt him?! I heard that King Chen sent a physician, but he was sent away, I don't know what the purpose is? ”
Zhao Pingtong was so stuffed that he couldn't speak, and he knew in his heart that he was going to plan. The meaning of Qi Heng's words turned out to be that he wanted to put the blame for Wang Shengming's death on him, and he didn't know what to do.
"Your Highness stays!!" Seeing that Qiheng turned around to leave, Zhao Pingtong hurriedly stopped him. The outstretched hand coincidentally hit Qi Heng's forehead, Qi Heng pretended to take a few steps back, and sat on the ground without paying attention. Qi Heng said angrily, "You dare to rebel?!" I now suspect that Wang Shengming's medicine was poisoned by you. ”
Qiheng originally did this on purpose. Zhao Pingtong shot just to stop him, and he didn't make much effort. If it is a coincidence, it is better to say that Qiheng deliberately bumped into it, but in the eyes of others, it was Zhao Pingtong who committed it.
"You want me to die in Chen Guo too!" Qi Heng shouted, "I don't want your life because of your loyalty, so I took off two arms!" Qi Heng said, and he was about to step forward.
Zhao Pingtong was so frightened at the moment that he couldn't possess his body, and knelt down and said, "Your Highness spares your life!" Your Highness Mingjian! ”
Qiheng did it on purpose, how could he say it clearly? Qiheng only said, "I am also seeking the truth for Wang Shengluo today!" Tell me how Lord Wang died? ”
Zhao Pingtong hurriedly said, "It's the wrong medicine for the quacks." ”
