The war report caused an uproar in the court, and the ministers knew that Emperor Zhi'an was sad that Wang Zhe had fallen into the water and did not dare to touch his scales, and everyone impeached Jiang Xiaotian very brightly and escaped from the battle, resulting in heavy casualties among the people. For a while, the fold flew to the Qinzheng Hall like snowflakes.

Wang Zhe also made a fuss about asking Cui Keyin to take his life, but when he saw the crowd of ministers surging, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to mention it again.

Emperor Zhi'an and Zhou Heng discussed: "It is true that Jiang Xiaotian was appointed by Wang Zhe, but Wang Zhe doesn't know that Jiang Xiaotian is such a person." As the chief soldier of Datong, he watched the Tatars slaughter the people at the head of the city and did not send troops, is he still a human being? Wang Zhe didn't know his details in advance. It's better to remove Jiang Xiaotian and go to Datong with another person, what is the name of the one you said last time? If this man is okay, it is better to send him. ”

Speaking of which, it is nothing more than that Wang Zhe is unaware, Wang Zhe is innocent, and everything is Jiang Xiao's responsibility.

Zhou Heng said: "Brother Huang, do you know that Wang Zhe once sent a letter to Jiang Xiaotian, asking him to save his troops and not go to war?" ”

As for the people, what does life or death have to do with him?

"And this kind of thing? I don't believe it. Emperor An was surprised.

Even if the letter was in front of him, he could be said to have forged it, and in short, he didn't want to execute Wang Zhe. Zhou Heng sighed and said, "If you don't escort Jiang Xiaotian to Beijing to punish the crime, it's not enough to make people angry, that's more than 2,000 lives." The emperor did not cure Jiang Xiaotian's sin, which chilled the hearts of people all over the world. As for Wang Zhe, the younger brother discussed with the ministers to see if they could be accommodating. ”

At this time, if you insist on executing Wang Zhe, it will not only hurt the feelings of the brothers. Emperor An will also protect him at all costs. Zhou Heng weighed it again and again, so he had to take a step back.

Emperor Zhi'an was grateful, held Zhou Heng's hand, and said, "It's still Xiaosi who understands me." ”

Everyone knows the weight of Wang Zhe in his heart, and he said that he wanted to protect Wang Zhe at this time, but he was afraid that the imperial historians would drown him with spittle stars. It would be much better for Zhou Heng to come forward, at least it was Zhou Heng who was drowned by the spitting star, not him.

Zhou Heng said: "I want to talk to Wang Zhe alone. ”

To the Emperor of course allowed.

Wang Zhe was lying on the bed, with his eyes closed, not knowing whether to sleep or wake up. After this freeze, his body was extremely damaged. Skin that is usually maintained without a trace of wrinkles. All at once like old bark.

When he saw someone coming in, he didn't move.

Zhou Heng stood beside the bed, looking at him condescendingly, for a long time. said: "Datong's matter exploded. The letter you wrote to Jiang Xiaotian is also in the hands of this king. If the king takes out the letter. I'm afraid that the ministers will rush into the Qinzheng Palace, drag you out and beat you to death, and will not spare your life. ”

Wang Zhe rolled his eyelids. sneered: "Didn't King Jin want to put our family to death? Since you have this letter, hand it over and ask the emperor to judge it according to justice. ”

Zhou Heng didn't say a word, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, put it in front of his eyes, and said, "This is copied from the letter you wrote to Jiang Xiaotian." I'll hand over the original. ”

Wang Zhe only glanced at it, sat up suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "Where did you get it from?" ”

The eunuch's voice was sharp, and he screamed, his voice was sharp and high, and it was transmitted far away.

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "Let's make a deal, how about it?" ”

Wang Zhe stood up, bent his waist and looked up at Zhou Heng, his voice was like a ghost, and said, "Do you want me to let go of the Cui family and let you go?" Don't! ”

Zhou Heng smiled: "You think too much, I want you to make a promise." ”

A promise? Wang Zhe said with disdain: "You royal families are used to pretending to be ghosts, don't think that our family doesn't know, go around and around, it's not that you want to save the Cui family's life." Hmph, let me tell you, don't dream, sooner or later I will take Cui's life, even if Cui's is dead, you marry another, and your wife doesn't think she can live for a long time. ”

He had a way to make Zhou Heng a widower and be ridiculed for life.

Zhou Heng was not angry, listened with a smile, and said: "You have to live longer than this king and the princess first, and you have to walk more carefully in the future, don't be careless, and fall into the lotus pond again." Ha ha. ”

Wang Zhe was so angry that he vomited blood and said, "Our family will not let you go." You are in the Qinzheng Hall every day, and there is always a time when you want tea and water, be careful to drink it in one sip, and you will fall to the ground. ”

In all dynasties, Wang Zhe dared to threaten the prince like this, and Wang Zhe was really unprecedented. Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's go and see." ”

Since Wang Zhe woke up, Zhou Heng had taken enough precautions, but it was too late for Wang Zhe to say this at this time.

Wang Zhe saw Zhou Hengyang walking away, and spit on the ground in anger.

Emperor Zhi'an was in a daze in the main hall, and when he saw Zhou Heng coming in, he said, "How is it?" ”

In his opinion, Zhou Heng definitely wanted to sell Wang Zhe a favor, so that Wang Zhe would be grateful, in order to repay him later. One of the two is the gentleman who grew up with him since he was a child and taught him enlightenment, and the other is his siblings.

Zhou Heng said: "The royal brother is generous, and the subordinate brother should try his best to maneuver." ”

Emperor Zhi An was deeply comforted.

Cui Keyin was so angry after reading the letter that she said, "How much silver did he give Wang Zhe?" Wang Zhe wants to help him like this? ”

said that he was saving troops, but he was afraid that the Tatars would be fierce and Jiang Xiaotian would be in danger.

Zhou Heng sneered: "You are wrong, what he gave to Wang Zhe was not only silver, but also a cart of jewelry." He was at the border and had always withheld the soldiers' salaries. Most of this money went into Wang Zhe's pocket. ”

"It's a pity, now that Wang Zhe has abandoned him like a cheat, I don't know how he feels." Cui Keyin said: "You have to let people protect him well, send him to the capital safely, and execute him in front of the people in the city." ”

Zhou Heng said: "That's natural, if it's just a knife to death, wouldn't it be cheaper for him?" ”

The wish has received the holy decree to go to Datong, presumably at this time has gone out of the north gate of the capital.

The next day, Yushi Zhouquan wrote a letter to impeach Wang Zhe as the culprit of the defeat of Datong without a fight, and read out a handwritten letter written by Wang Zhe to Jiang Xiaotian in the court.

Wang Zhe is just a fallen talent, the writing is too distinctive, among the members of the two lists of Jinshi in the Manchu Dynasty, it is notoriously ugly, and everyone recognizes it at a glance as Wang Zhe's handwritten letter. He has criticized the twists and turns for a few years.

Emperor An was shocked, didn't Xiao Si promise to try his best to smooth out the matter? Why did Wang Zhe's handwritten letter still fall into Zhou Quan's hands? Zhou Quan is not a good type, as a leading figure in the imperial history, he has to bite people for three points if he has nothing to do, and now with Wang Zhe's handwritten letter, how can he easily let go of Wang Zhe?

He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng stood at the head of the noble class, bowing his head and closing his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty exploded their nests and jumped out one by one, until Emperor An executed Wang Zhe. Among them, Cui Zhenyi's attitude was the most resolute, saying: "If Wang Zhe is not removed, the family and the country will be in trouble, and the emperor is also asked to avenge the more than 2,000 innocent people who died." ”

It is true that more than 2,000 people died unjustly, but Emperor An has never even seen who they are or what they look like, how can he embarrass Wang Zhe for these people?

Seeing that the court was arguing, he said in a low voice: "Little four, little four? ”

You promised me. (To be continued.) )
