Chapter 62: Treason
I originally wanted to surprise Lu Yunshu, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end, Qi Zhao is now extremely disappointed, but he is helpless, after all, the reason why this hairpin will be broken is all because he is in a hurry to save people.
That's it, since this place refuses to customize hairpins for himself, then go to other silver buildings to take a look, and choose a hairpin suitable for Lu Yunshu for him, although it is not as good as this hairpin, but at least it can make Lu Yunshu smile.
Qi Zhao took his personal servant to other silver buildings, and before he could start buying, Xiaodong hurriedly came over.
"General, the emperor just asked the father-in-law in the palace to pass the word, let you enter the palace immediately, I see that the father-in-law's face is very bad, I'm afraid there is a big event, you have to be careful this time." Xiao Dongran out of breath, and finally finished saying this passage intermittently, and Qi Zhao frowned when he heard it.
The matter of the banquet has subsided, and the woman's life experience has been found out, why does the emperor still call himself into the palace?
"Does Madame know about this?" According to Lu Yunshu's character, if he knew that the emperor suddenly announced that he had entered the palace, I am afraid that he would be worried again.
"Madame took Xiaolan out to the street early this morning, saying that you just came back from the border and wanted to cut new clothes for you, I'm afraid that you are still picking up materials for you in the fabric store, and when my father-in-law came to summon me, there were only us people in the house." Xiaodong hurriedly reported to Qi Zhao.
Since Lu Yunshu doesn't know that, it's okay, so she doesn't have to worry, just go and come back quickly, I believe that the emperor's announcement of himself this time should not be a big deal.
Even though Qi Zhao was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to be the slightest slack, so he hurriedly followed Xiaodong back to Qi Mansion, changed into official clothes, and stepped on a fast horse and galloped towards the palace.
"Weichen see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" Qi Zhao clasped his hands into fists and saluted the emperor who was sitting at the top.
If it had been in the past, Qi Zhao had saluted like this, and the emperor would naturally not feel any discomfort, but today his subordinates reported that Qi Zhao seemed to have colluded with Chen Guo's people in private.
Now looking at Qi Zhao's failure to bow to him, the emperor was suddenly unhappy in his heart, although he had pardoned him at the beginning, so he didn't have to salute.
But this person is inevitably too arrogant, he really doesn't look like he bows down, no matter what he does now, it seems to have another meaning in the eyes of the emperor, could it be that he really has colluded with Qi State?
"General Qi, let's calm down, do you know what I called you here this time?" The emperor still has high hopes for Qi Zhao, he doesn't want to believe that Qi Zhao is colluding with others, so he asks and wants to give Qi Zhao a chance to confess himself.
"Please also ask the emperor to know the matter, Weichen really doesn't know." Since ancient times, it has been said that a companion is like a tiger, and Qi Zhao is naturally well versed in this, he does not dare to speculate on the emperor's thoughts, in case he annoys him, his fate will be even worse.
"So far, you still don't want to, it's really disappointing for me to come from the truth!" The emperor's face changed suddenly, and he angrily threw all the folds on the dragon table to Qi Zhao's face, and he wanted to split Qi Zhao's five horses.
In all dynasties, no emperor can stand the betrayal of his most trusted minister, and the emperor of Yan is no exception, he really has too much hope for Qi Zhao, and he also takes him very seriously.
So when his subordinates reported that Qi Zhao had colluded with Chen Guo in private, he didn't want to believe it, but looking at Qi Zhao's reaction, he seemed to have judged Qi Zhao to have committed treason to the enemy.
The emperor's mood was suddenly so excited, which Qi Zhao didn't expect, and he quickly knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Please let the emperor calm his anger, Weichen knows his mistakes, but also ask the emperor to make it clear what crime Weichen has committed, if it is true, Weichen will definitely not quibble!" Qi Zhao knelt on the ground with a tall posture, and his voice revealed resoluteness.
Although he is a spy sent by Chen Guo, his plan can be said to be seamless, Qi Zhao is still very confident in his plan, he doesn't believe that the Emperor of Yan has already recognized his identity, so he dares to be so loud.
"A month ago, you received a letter from Princess Chen Guo in the barracks, and the soldiers in the barracks are all obvious to all, do you dare to say that you have no disagreement with the country?" Speaking of this, the emperor of Yan Kingdom was even more emotional, his face turned red, and he pointed at Qi Zhao's nose with his finger, eager to go up and beat him.
"Please also ask the emperor to investigate, Weichen is really wronged." Unexpectedly, Qianying's letter finally let the emperor know, and he burned it immediately after reading it, leaving no traces.
It may be that someone is jealous of his high status in the army and deliberately wants to discredit him, but Qi Zhao does have a clear conscience about this matter.
He didn't report to his Chen Guofeng, but Qianying's letter was not enough to prove that he had betrayed Yan Guo, and he had been carefully planning for many years, so he definitely couldn't fall short like this.
"Are you wronged? So many people have seen it with their own eyes, and you still dare to say that you have wronged me, but I want to see how you explain it! The emperor was pacing back and forth in the main hall in unison, and then sat on the dragon chair angrily.
"It's a long story, the minister met the princess of Chen Guo Qianying by chance many years ago, at the beginning we Yan Guo and Chen Guo were still good friends, so the two of us are also good friends, a month ago, Qianying heard that I led the troops to fight and Chen Guo, so I wrote a letter to care about me, but the care between friends, has nothing to do with national affairs!" Qi Zhao knelt straight on the ground and was talking nonsense, what he said was half-true.
The emperor was also shocked when he sat on the dragon chair, and he was not sure whether what Qi Zhao said was true.
"Really?" The emperor suddenly felt that the anger in his chest did not seem to be as surging as it had just burned.
"The minister vouched for the head of the item, what the minister said today is true, the reason why he burned the letter is just that he thinks that the minister is now married, if he has an affair with other women, I am afraid that it will cause rumors, and the minister does not want to make Yun'er more sad because of this matter." Seeing that the emperor seemed to have some faith in himself, Qi Zhao said it even more sincerely.
The emperor was originally very partial to Qi Zhao, and when he heard him explain like this, he immediately believed him. After all, Qi Zhao has made a lot of contributions to Yan Guoguo, how could he betray Yan Guo to join Chen Guo?
It seems that those people under him came to report to him without figuring out the truth, and the expression on the emperor's face was no longer as angry as before.
"Aiqing, hurry up, I have wronged you, if there is such a matter again in the future, Aiqing must not hide it anymore, if there is another misunderstanding between our monarchs and ministers, it will not be conducive to the development of our Yan Kingdom." The emperor said kindly, and stepped forward to help Qi Zhao up from the ground, and at the same time regretted his recklessness and wronged his most beloved courtier.
Seeing that the emperor had been fooled by himself, Qi Zhao let out a long sigh of loss.
