Chapter 1541: Compromise
However, Wu Zheng's order Fu Weiyi stopped in front of Chengtian Gate and outside the Wulong Bridge.
Because further on, there is Miyagi, and Miyagi is an inner city, which cannot be touched by foreign ministers.
The defense of Miyagi was the emperor's army and the Nishiki Guard.
They could ignore Wu Zheng's general orders, and between the arrival of the left camp, Miyagi had been closed and bolted.
Huang Daozhou put down the order of the great general who had been holding high in his hand, turned back to Liao Zhongping and said: "General Liao, the front is the palace city, and leading troops to trespass is contrary to the way of being a minister after all...... In this way, Huang and Wang Xiangxiang went to face the saint first, annoying General Liao to wait here for a while, I don't know what General Liao wants? ”
Liao Zhongping calmed his face, thought for a while, and said, "Cheng...... According to what Huang Xiang said, Liao waited here, limited to one hour...... But there is one thing that the two prime ministers should remember, that is, the prince is waiting for the letter in the mansion. ”
Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi glanced at each other, and their jaws agreed.
……。
In the Wuying Palace, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly depressed and tense.
Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi knelt in front of Zhu Lianbi, and Zhu Lianbi turned his back to the two of them and stood with his hands in his hands.
This frame is already more than the city of fifteen-year-olds.
Huang Daozhou choked up and persuaded bitterly: "Your Majesty, the situation is strong...... If Your Majesty and King Wu go toe-to-toe, I'm afraid it will ....... ”
"I'm afraid of what?" Zhu Lianbi turned around and glared at Huang Dao Zhoudao, "Is he going to lead his troops to attack the Forbidden Garden?" I am the emperor, sitting on the four seas and five mountains, and I am still afraid of a courtier? ”
Huang Daozhou bowed again: "King Wu has no intention of bullying the king and forcing the palace, and the ministers and others came just to arrest Ma Jixiang involved in the case...... Why did Your Majesty fall out with King Wu for the sake of a chaotic minister and thief? ”
Rebellious thieves?
Zhu Lianbi sneered, who is the rebel and thief?
He stomped his foot and said, "Am I ...... Can't even protect a courtier? ”
Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi could only lie on the ground, saying that "ministers and other crimes deserve death".
But Zhu Lianbi suddenly calmed down and said coldly: "Ma Jixiang has already been punished." ”
He's dead?
Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi raised their heads in astonishment and glanced at each other, what is this trouble?
Zhu Lianbi said leisurely: "Ma Ji Xiangtian entered the palace before dawn, reported to me that King Wu was arrogant and domineering, arrested the prince of the dynasty, and set up a private torture hall...... Naturally, I don't believe it, King Wu is loyal to the country and his merit is in the community, how can he do such a great rebellion? After reprimanding Ma Jixiang, I expelled him...... No, this fang has a treacherous temperament, and then gathered more than 100 of his henchmen to break into the right door, intending to assassinate me, but fortunately, the forbidden army on duty found it in time and shot him ....... ”
Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi looked at each other.
More than 100 people?
Dare to break into the ban?
Isn't that a joke?
Even if Ma Jixiang was kicked in the head by a donkey, he could understand that this was self-defeating.
Besides, according to Ma Jixiang's temperament, dare to assassinate the emperor?
Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi's faces became weird.
Zhu Lianbi didn't look at Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi, and Gu Zidao: "The two Aiqing came at the right time, and the corpses of the horse thief and his henchmen are still on the road from Wuyingmen to Youxiaomen, just to be a witness...... I was a little tired, so I went back to the palace to rest. ”
After speaking, Gu Zi went out of the palace and went back to the Qianqing Palace.
……。
Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi smiled bitterly.
However, they felt a lot more relieved.
Because in this way, things will be easy to do, Ma Jixiang is ambushed, King Wu will not be able to track it down, if it can't be traced, there will be no fall out with the emperor, as long as the emperor and King Wu don't fall out, everything can be maintained, how good?
Singing and dancing.
But Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi were shocked in their hearts.
Listening to the emperor's claim, Ma Jixiang and more than 100 of his henchmen were shot to death, that is to say, just to clear himself and calm the anger of King Wu, the emperor has invested a lot of money, more than 100 lives, and they are gone in a blink of an eye, and even died, and they have to bear the charge of killing the king.
This is a heavy minister, and he is a family member.
There is no doubt that after today, more than 100 families will be beheaded all over the house.
Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi silently turned around, walked out of the Wuying Palace, and headed in the direction of Yongdao.
All mercy is useless, and only the calming of this incident is urgently needed, otherwise, it will not be these hundreds of households, but tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people who will die.
……。
"Dead?"
"Dead!"
"Really dead?"
"It's dead!"
Wu Zheng suddenly burst out laughing, he immediately realized his gaffe, coughed unnaturally, and said, "Your Majesty is really, Lone just wants to find Ma Jixiang to ask about the case...... Who ever thought, hey...... Innocent people have been implicated in so many lives. ”
Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi lowered their heads and rolled their eyes, what they said.
"The prince is merciful, so naturally he doesn't want to implicate the innocent...... The minister wants to ask the prince for a favor, but I don't know ......? ”
"Why is Huang Xiang polite in front of Lone?" Wu Zheng scolded: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
"The horse thief and his accomplices have been put under ambush...... Can you not implicate your family? ”
Wu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Ma Jixiang killed the king, this is a big crime, although his henchmen are acting according to orders, they are always rebellious...... How to forgive? Could it be that he is going to plead with His Majesty for their family? ”
Zodiac Zhou fell silent.
The people in the house, who doesn't know that these more than 100 people died unjustly and in vain?
But who can pierce this layer of paper?
Once it is pierced, Wu Zheng must be investigated to the end, so no one can predict what the consequences will be.
And the emperor and the clan will naturally not be tied up, this is Yingtianfu, not Hangzhou Mansion, the emperor has the right battalion, the forbidden army, and the Jinyi Guard in his hands.
Therefore, it can be said that it is in the interests and face of all parties to calm the situation in this way.
It's nothing more than a few hundred dead.
Therefore, even Wang Yi fell silent.
Wu Zheng glanced at Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi, and sighed secretly in his heart, there is a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.
"What do you think?" Wu Zheng looked at Liao Zhongping and asked.
Liao Zhongping hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Minister...... Listen to the prince. ”
Slick. Wu Zheng slandered in his heart, and then turned to Wu's bitter master, Liu Yuan, "What do you think?" ”
Liu Yuan took a deep breath and raised his head and said, "As soon as the horse thief dies, this matter will naturally not be traced...... Huang Xiang said that pardoning more than 100 rebel family members naturally has Huang Xiang's reasoning, and he dare not oppose it...... However, the family of the horse thief must not be forgiven, otherwise, the humble duty cannot be explained to the heavenly spirits of the dead brothers...... Please make it happen! ”
Liu Yuan has already realized that this matter can no longer be investigated, not because he is angry, but because the price of further investigation is unbearable.
Overnight, Ma Jixiang suddenly died in the forbidden, as long as you are not a fool, you can understand it, but people are dead, there is no proof of death, if there is no evidence to prove that he is the son of heaven, then the consequence is that the world will accuse Wu Zheng of playing with the intention of forcing the palace.
If it is secretly instigated by people with ill intentions, then I am afraid that another civil unrest will arise.
And another civil unrest will not be as easy to quell as the Zuo Ying's entry into the city this time, and more people will die.
Liu Yuanqiang put out the resentment in his heart, rather than die and the net is broken, it is better to wait for the coming day.
