Chapter 305: Speechless
Dongling Guyun sneered silently, but his face was full of doubts: "Why is my father so sure it's not?" Could it be that my father knows who is the person who deliberately buried the dragon robe in the Zhan Wang's Mansion?"
"How could I know?" Dongling Luo Xi pretended to be calm and said coldly, "What's more, before there is no evidence, I can only believe that it is you who have rebelled and tried in vain to unite the courtiers to raise an army!
As soon as Dongling Guyun opened his mouth, before he could say anything, he saw the guards in front of the palace rush in again: "Report - Your Majesty! The secret agent of the Great Inner has intercepted a secret letter sent to the prefect of Qizhou, although the messenger escaped by fraud, but it has been found that it is from the direction of the Zhan Wangfu!"
There was a coax, and the audience was in an uproar! King Zhan is planning to break with the emperor completely?!
Dongling Luo Xi was even more stunned, and almost couldn't help jumping up, gritting his teeth and shouting: "Submit it!"
This secret letter is almost identical to the one just now, except that the title at the beginning has been changed!
"Yun'er, you ......" Tanglin Luo Xi was almost speechless, and was even more furious that he was in such a crisis, "You actually ......"
"My father was angry. Dongling Guyun deliberately frowned, and there was no trace of panic on his face, "Father, the son-in-law is wronged, this is simply the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes!
Tanglin Luo Xi took a breath and gritted his teeth: "That's because my inner secret agent is much more clever than you think! You thought you were doing things secretly, but you still showed flaws!"
"Erchen didn't. Dongling Guyun still shook his head, "If Erchen really intended to force the palace, he would have already joined those people to launch a mutiny, how could he go to the court alone and run to the court?"
"Because of this, I won't be suspicious!" Dongling Luo Xi sneered, "It is precisely because you are still in front of me that I will not suspect you of harboring evil intentions, so you can unite those rebellious ministers and thieves without hurry, let them raise troops at the same time, and catch me off guard!"
Dongling Guyun frowned: "Father, do you think that your sons and courtiers have teamed up to usurp the throne?"
"Unless you have proof. The killing intent in Dongling Luoxi's eyes spread to his face, "Otherwise, I can't help but prevent trouble before it ......."
"Report - Your Majesty! Intercept the secret letter sent to the prefect of Nuzhou!"
"Report to the Emperor! Intercept the secret letter sent to the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army!"
"Report - Your Majesty! Intercept the secret letter sent to the commander of the Imperial Forest Army!"
According to the secret report, Lord Duan of the Ministry of War received a secret letter last night!"
"Plop!"
Duan Mingzheng, the secretary of the military department, said that he didn't expect that he was also implicated, and immediately fell to his knees in fright and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty! The minister has been wronged! The minister has never colluded with the King of Zhan, please let the emperor know!"
Before Dongling Luo Xi could speak, the most fatal news suddenly came in: "Report - the emperor! intercepted a secret letter, after investigation, it was a reply from Prime Minister Ouyang to King Zhan, please ask the emperor to read it!"
The ministers in the hall were silent, and Donglin Luo Xi was even more dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time! Looking at the secret letter presented in front of him, he reached out and opened it in a daze, read it word by word, and then gritted his teeth and handed it to the attendant on the side: "Take it over and let Prime Minister Ouyang take a good look!"
The chamberlain stepped forward to take it in fear and carefully delivered it to Ouyang Xiao. Although Ouyang Xiao was not in a hurry to argue, his face had already turned pale. When I took the letter, there were only a few lines on it: "His Royal Highness King Zhan: The matter of the dragon robe is something we didn't think about, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no need to pay attention to it." The matter discussed a few days ago has been determined, no matter what His Highness sends him, the minister will never give up, and he will definitely live and die with His Highness, and advance and retreat together!"
"Ha! It's funny!" Understanding how serious the matter was, Ouyang Xiao's originally blue face turned pale instantly, but he deliberately sneered disdainfully, and held up the piece of paper, "Your Majesty, the minister has never had any contact with His Royal Highness the King of Zhan, so the emperor won't believe such a boring slander, right?"
Tanglin Luo Xi looked at him gloomily, and a touch of viciousness flashed in the depths of his eyes: "For a long time, Prime Minister Ouyang has had nothing to do with Yun'er, but this secret letter ......"
"This secret letter is naturally concocted by those people with bad intentions to frame the minister," Ouyang Xiaoman didn't care, and scoffed, "Although this person tries his best to imitate the minister's handwriting, but if you look closely, there are still many flaws. If you don't believe me, please ...... What?!"
Only now did he notice a small seal in the lower right corner of the letter, and his face changed instantly! The seal was a top-secret thing, and he would only affix it unless it was an extremely important or secret letter! In recent years, it would only appear on the fold presented to Tanglin Luoxi!
"The prime minister also saw it, right?" Dongling Luo Xi sneered, the killing machine caused by Dongling Guyun was slowly surging, "Even though the handwriting can be imitated, what about this seal? ”
Because of his undisguised suspicion and killing intent, Ouyang Xiao's eyes flashed with anger, and he also sneered and said: "This is obviously a frame-up! Others may not know, but the emperor, you should always know that the minister will never betray the emperor! Because the minister swore to the emperor that day, and he will never betray those oaths!"
Obviously, there is something else to be said. Ouyang Xiao seemed respectful, but in fact, staring at Dongling Luo Xi's eyes, he told a completely opposite meaning, and even implied a faint threat: Don't forget that those oaths were made by us that day, and it is not me who will never turn our backs, but also you! If you dare to cross the river and tear down the bridge, don't blame me for burning all the jade!
I didn't understand what he meant, but Tanglin Luo Xi dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak. If nothing else, it was because of the thing Ouyang Xiao was holding in his hand that he had to swallow his anger everywhere!
No matter how urgent the matter in front of him is, it is not as important as the overall situation after all, if he really provokes this old fox and makes him make that thing public at all costs, it will really be a jade burn!
After taking a few breaths, Tanglin Luo Xi had to squeeze out a smile of relief: "Yes, Prime Minister Ouyang has always been loyal and patriotic, and he will never do such a rebellious thing!"
"The emperor is wise, and the minister is grateful!" Ouyang Xiao hit the snake with the stick, and immediately clasped his hands into fists and gave a deep salute, "According to the minister, since this person is planning to frame him, he must have taken the opportunity to steal the minister's seal, so that the minister can not be washed away even if he jumps into the Yellow River! Fortunately, the emperor's eyes are like lightning, and he will never be deceived by those young people!"
Tanglin Luo Xi secretly gritted his teeth and tried his best to keep a smile: "Prime Minister Ouyang has contributed to Sheji, and he is the pillar of the Yulin Kingdom, how could I believe the rumors and easily move you? ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Wisdom, Your Majesty's Wisdom, and Your Majesty's Minister!" Without permission, Duan Mingzheng neither dared to speak, nor did he dare to get up, his knees were already in terrible pain, and he was about to lie on the ground, so he had to open his mouth hard, "The minister has always been loyal to the emperor, and he swears allegiance to the death, and the minister will never betray the emperor! That letter is simply framed!"
Dongling Luo Xi was about to vomit to death, and as soon as he heard the words "framed and framed", he almost went crazy! The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he turned his head coldly to look at Duan Mingzheng: "Oh? What evidence do you have to prove that he was framed?"
Duan Mingzheng gritted his teeth and slowly straightened up: "Your Majesty, the ministers have followed the emperor for many years, and they have never had two hearts, and they still hope that the emperor will be clear!"
Tanglin Luo Xi seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes became more and more gloomy, but just as he wanted to say something, Ouyang Xiao suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, what Lord Duan said is that he, like his ministers, has followed the emperor to fight in the south and north for many years, and has always been deeply favored by the emperor, how could he betray the emperor? That is obviously self-defeating!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Duan Mingzheng kowtowed again and again, "Everything the minister has now is given by the emperor, and the minister is too late to be grateful, how can he be so ungrateful?
As he spoke, he avoided everyone's gaze and quietly glanced at Tanglin Luoxi. The latter was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists, and nodded reluctantly: "You get up first! I feel more and more that this must be the mastermind behind the scenes, just to provoke a fight between our monarchs and ministers, and he is so good at profiting!"
"That's right, the emperor is wise!" Duan Ming was overjoyed, and finally stood up after kowtowing a few times, "Actually, His Royal Highness King Zhan is right, if the mastermind really wants to raise troops, how can he let so many secret letters be intercepted by the secret agents of the Great Inner at the same time? This is completely contrary to common sense!"
The man finally said something fair.
Anyone who raises troops to force the palace will regard it as a great secret, if there is a letter and a half letter accidentally leaked and it is excusable, how can it be flying all over the sky?
As if reminded by his words, Dongling Guyun, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Now my father understands, right? All this is a conspiracy of thieves, and the sons are wronged!"
Tanglin Luoxi glanced at him and snorted coldly: "These are two different things, they were framed, it doesn't mean that you are also innocent......"
"Father, the son doesn't understand. Dongling Guyun smiled coldly, "What the inner secret agent intercepted was the correspondence between the sons and the ministers, and Prime Minister Ouyang and Duan Shangshu said that they were wronged, and the father believed it, and the sons said that they were wronged, but the father refused to believe it?
As soon as these words came out, Dongling Luo Xi was speechless, except for a few people who knew what to do in the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the rest of the people were also full of doubts, and they all felt that the emperor's reaction was indeed not normal: Could it be that in his eyes, his own son is not as trustworthy as the ministers of the court?
Noticing the abnormality of everyone, Tanglin Luo Xi was furious, but it was not good to attack in the court, so he had to force his words: "I mean that although you may be innocent about the letter, what about the dragon robe? That's always the truth, right?"
