The magnificent Qianning Palace, supported by nine golden dragons and covered with blue caissons, was already familiar to Assufu.

It's just that this time is different from the past, he is not returning to the court, but "resurrecting from the dead", and he is involved in the serious case of the former prince. Reasoning, under the power of heaven, he should be a sinner who should be confused and uneasy. However, this Asuf seemed to have nothing to do with himself, and he tiptoed step by step, walking up the stairs to the temple with ease. Instead, he left a pair of uniformed guards two feet behind him, as if they were protecting him.

"Asouf!" On the Golden Palace, Emperor Longqing's voice was filled with deep anger.

"See Your Majesty!" Assuf said loudly, but did not kneel, only bowed deeply according to the Central Plains salute. Then he got up and raised his head, but his slight gaze greeted Situ Yi who was not far away.

Asouf has been in the DPRK and China for many years, and although he has no deep friendship, he is also familiar with each other. Those officials who are familiar with him know that Asouf is a strange man, even if he has been in the court for many years, he has not been affected by the official way of moderation. His likes and dislikes are always clearly reflected in those blue eyes.

Looking at his expression today, everyone knows it. The imperial physician who was at the scene at the time, did not recognize the status of Emperor Longqing at all, but he was sincerely convinced by Situ Yi.

Whispering began like flies chirping again.

Emperor Longqing's expression became more and more ugly, and his heart was surging. The scene just now shows that there are already Situ Yi people in the Praetorian Guard. At this time, above the Golden Palace, in front of hundreds of officials, they could not forcibly take Assufu and Yu Xiangen down. However, thinking about Yu Xiangen's testimony, there is no mention of his "holy will" in the killing of the former prince. Yu Xiangen's clever avoidance of these, could it be the instructions of Prince Changping and Situ Yi? And why should they "protect" themselves?

Emperor Longqing was in a deep fog, but when he saw Situ Yi take a step forward, he bowed slightly to the golden throne, and then turned to Asufu and said, "Since Mr. has returned to the palace safely." Please also tell me everything you know, see and hear. ”

Assuf's snow-white teeth showed brightly, and he raised his lips and said to Situ Yi: "Okay, Asouf obeys!" ”

"In the spring of the third year of Shaoping, I came to Dachu with the caravan. I had no other skills than to see a doctor, so I had to open a small medical shop at a friend's house, and later my small medical shop became famous in the West Market.

In the winter of the third year of Shaoping, a man named Xiao Dexian came to ask me to visit the doctor. I followed him to the Xiao Mansion. I knew that Lord Xiao was Uncle Guo. Master Xiao treated me very well and asked me to see a few people's families. But they weren't as sick as Xiao Dexian said. When I returned to the pharmacy that day, my friend said nothing and refused to take me in anymore. I had no choice but to go back to one of the Xiao family's courtyards with Xiao Dexian.

Uncle Xiao treated me very well, and later recommended me to the Imperial Medical Department, I am just a person, and I can enter the house, all thanks to Lord Xiao. I'm grateful to him. He said that if he wanted to be grateful, he should tell him about the Holy Lord's illness, and dispense some medicine according to his wishes, so that the Holy One could be slowly poisoned, and also ensure that there was no problem with the other imperial doctors who tested the medicine. Asouf said as if what he said was as easy as a dish for lunch.

However, the hall has been boiling, a group of military generals who have won the favor of the first emperor are all angry, rubbing their fists, hating to tear Xiao Song apart immediately, and several elderly ministers are tearful eyes, shaky to cover their hearts, and can't stop wailing "The first emperor~, the first emperor~".

Situ Yi looked back for a moment, and said in a loud voice: "Xiao Song instructed Mr. to feed poison to the emperor, how did he escape the inspection of the Imperial Medical Department and the internal prison?" ”

Assufu pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "This is not difficult, the saint always takes too much medicine in order to be safe and healthy. I just need to use the prescription of the Imperial Doctor's Department to find the herbs in the snowy region that have similar medicinal properties, and then persuade the Holy Lord to take them. The herbs were originally non-toxic, but they were only compatible with the other medicines taken by the Holy One. Although the people in the Imperial Doctor's Department are all famous doctors, they are not familiar with the medicinal properties of the herbs in the Snow Region, and the dosage I use is very cautious, so they can't detect it at all. ”

Asouf paused slightly, and in the boiling buzz behind him, a red-clothed official suddenly rushed out. The man flew in front of Assuf, grabbed his shirt, raised his hand to hit, and couldn't stop wailing in his mouth: "You heartless Hu Fan, Xiao Song is kind to you, and the saint has no kindness to you, you!" You actually helped to torture and poison the emperor! ”

Situ Yi's eyes were quick, he stepped forward, and raised his hand to block the cold hard wat board that was smashed on Assuf's temple. Sideways to protect Assuf behind him, he said sharply: "Don't be impatient, my lord!" The adults were sad and indignant, and it was understandable. But this Assuf is just a pawn who obeys orders, he can escape from death, and it is not easy for the palace to testify. And at present, the main evil in this case has not been eliminated, and the deeds of the perpetrators have not yet been revealed. If the adults embarrass him like this, is it because they want to kill the wicked? ”

Under Situ Yi's fierce voice, the red-clothed official's eyes dodged and quietly disappeared back into the ranks.

Gritting his teeth for a moment, Situ Yi had to ask Asufu in a loud voice: "Since you admit that the poison in the former emperor was caused by your order, then why did you falsely accuse the Qingxu Daoist of poisoning in the elixir?" ”

Asufu stopped tidying up his messy clothes, calmed down for a moment, and replied, "It's not that I want to make false accusations, it's Concubine Xiao Gui and Lord Xiao who have asked me to say this several times!" If I don't do it, he'll accuse me of poisoning the emperor!" ”

Situ Yi chased after him: "Concubine Xiao Gui should still be a concubine at that time, as an imperial concubine, why did she murder the saint?" ”

Assuf swallowed, he didn't understand that Situ Yi couldn't even figure this out, so he put on a patient explanation and said slowly: "This is very easy to understand!" Shaoping's six-year draft has added many young beauties to the harem. Although the saint still loves the concubine very much, after all, it is different from before! Moreover, the emperor's health was weakening day by day. In this case, perhaps, the concubine will feel more at ease than being a concubine? Also, Xiao Niangniang likes to discuss everything with Lord Xiao, and Lord Xiao and the crown prince have always been at odds, Lord Xiao once revealed to an adult that he was very worried that His Royal Highness would become the emperor and his end would be bleak. ”

Asouf is a Hu man who wanders on the edge of the court, he sees the truth, but he will not be like the Han people, who are secretive about these secret thoughts that everyone knows. On the top of the Golden Palace, he poured beans into a bamboo tube and said the truth.

Pity some officials in the palace, they were so shocked by his words that they couldn't hide, so they could only curse Xiao Song fiercely to escape the suspicion of Xiao Dang. And some people who sit on the wall and watch are even more heartbroken. Situ Yi surprised everyone, brought this Asouf to the court, and said such a thing, which crushed the last bit of help of the Xiao family in the court.

From now on, the rest is that the trees are falling and scattering, and the walls are pushed by everyone, and there is no need for him to exert any more force, and he will naturally fly to the Yushitai like snowflakes to participate in Xiao's recital.

The civil and military officials in the hall, most of whom did not know, all looked abrupt and sad. Xiao Song's dead friends looked nervous and spoke fiercely, and they couldn't wait to slash Xiao Song immediately to show their innocence, and those who originally rode the wall were the most interesting at this time, and their faces were sometimes so sad that they couldn't help themselves, and sometimes they were so angry that they couldn't be contained.

From the high throne, Emperor Longqing looked coldly at the bizarre scene in front of him.

In the chaos, only Situ Yi had been watching him quietly. In those amber eyes, there was an undisguised cold murderous aura and a bone-piercing hatred.

infiltrated the Praetorian Guard, captured Yu Xiangen, detained Assuf, and beheaded Xiao Song, the backer of his ascension to the throne and emperor, Situ Yi and Changping were clearly coming at him, but why did they instruct Yu Xiangen and Asufu to always avoid the fact that Xiao Song's schemes involved him, the original king of Changning, was involved?

Emperor Longqing squinted his eyes and looked at Situ Yi carefully.

Situ Yi, who was looking up at him, did not hide it, his figure straightened, and he said loudly: "Situ Yimen, two generations have been deeply favored by the emperor. As the general of Da Chu Zhenyuan, the minister really didn't dare to live up to the trust. Fortunately, this time God blesses Great Chu, although the enemy is strong, but after all, he is defeated by Great Chu Guowei. It is a great blessing to be able to command this battle, and even more fortunate is to save Li Miao, the widow of Xianguang Liebo, when he slaughtered the pioneer camp of Heluo, the prince of Beidi. ”

Situ Yi said this, deliberately pausing. When all the people in the temple heard him speak, they did not know what he would say, but they were all stunned and listened attentively. Only Emperor Longqing, who was sitting tall, had slender eyebrows and eyes flashing with poisonous and resentful light from time to time, and a slender face was shrouded in the halo of the golden throne, revealing the blue and white desolation that the general trend had gone.

He couldn't have imagined that he secretly colluded with Uda at the beginning, and used Uda's strength to suppress the criticism of the court and the central government to depose the chief and appoint him as the prince. But today, the same collusion with Wuda has become the heaviest weight in Situ Yi's hands. Emperor Longqing suddenly understood that this was no longer a game, he had lost the overall situation, and his life and death were all in the hands of Situ Yi and King Changping.

Squinting his eyes, Emperor Longqing pondered for a long time before he said: "Guanglie Bo Li, because of his crimes, the son of a criminal minister, is in the enemy's tent, since he defected to the enemy and committed treason, what face does he have to be called loyal and good?" ”

Situ Yi smiled and said: "Heiguang Liebo Li Wei is a family, innocent and framed, Li Wei is a young son, and he has no official title, and he was exiled to the north. Later, he was captured by Uda, and because of his great learning, he was appreciated by Uda, and served under his tent. After Li Miao was framed, he did not forget the idea of loyalty to the king, and he was in Di Ying, and his heart belonged to Dachu. ”

Emperor Longqing smiled coldly, secretly thinking that he had underestimated Situ Yi's intentions, not only did he want to bring down Xiao Song and pull himself off the throne, he didn't even plan to let go of his younger brother Situ Kun. Above the court, all those who have set off storms for their own selfishness and the selfishness of a party are his goals!

Li Miao's matter, if he hits it with a shot, the innocent and wronged ministers in the assassination of the first emperor will take the opportunity to avenge their grievances. And most of those people are people who are dedicated to supporting the former prince, and most of them are Qin Zi'an's close friends and beloved disciples.
