Chapter 610: Gold Medal for Exoneration
What do you mean by that? At this time, Qianqiu was already angry.
His control of Tianshui Pavilion has long been a well-known secret in Kyoto, as the Cheng family, who is rich and rival the country, there is no reason not to know about it, but Master Cheng is unwilling to say it, and Qianqiu naturally can't break it, and the situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.
Then I saw Master Cheng smile and said: "Cheng is asking Your Majesty, is it wrong for Cheng to regard Tianshui Pavilion as a rebel faction and to talk about the crime?" ”
"How dare you ......" When the four looked at each other, the momentum of Master Cheng and Qianqiu was almost comparable, even though he knew that Qianqiu was the king of a country, Master Cheng did not give him face, but threw out a difficult question that he couldn't answer at all.
"Your Majesty is angry!" At this time, the witty eunuch beside Qianqiu reminded faintly.
Staring at Master Cheng's face, even though Qianqiu originally intended to convict him and avenge the people of Tianshui Pavilion, he couldn't use the destruction of Tianshui Pavilion as an excuse, so he could only find another way.
He smiled and said: "Master Cheng is worthy of being a cunning fox in the business world, that's right, it's right to solve the problem for me, but you slaughtered nearly 100 lives in Tianshui Pavilion, this matter has caused panic, and as the king of a country, it is difficult for me to protect you openly, so I am afraid that you can only let Master Cheng suffer a little crime." ”
As he spoke, Qianqiu asked people to draw their swords and prepare to kill him, but unexpectedly, he suddenly shouted: "Wait! ”
Everyone in the Cheng family pinched a cold sweat for him, but when he didn't know what he meant, Master Cheng smiled indifferently at Qianqiu, changed the position of his kneeling position, and said loudly: "Please come out with the gold medal for forgiveness!" ”
Gold medal for exoneration? Since he ascended the throne, it was the first time he heard the words "gold medal for exoneration", and then in his puzzled eyes, the slave of the Cheng family respectfully took a gold token with both hands, and handed it to Master Cheng, who got the gold medal, immediately stood up, and deliberately raised his voice, and said:
"This gold medal for exoneration is a gift from the deceased emperor, and it is specially used to reward my Cheng family for their merits, and in the matter of destroying Tianshui Pavilion, Cheng Mou thinks that not only is there no fault, but he has merit, but if His Majesty really wants to punish and let Cheng someone's head fall to the ground, I am afraid that he is openly telling the world that His Majesty ignores this gold medal given by the first emperor, right?"
Master Cheng's words successfully thwarted Qianqiu's idea of punishing him, and he ordered someone to take the gold medal of exoneration in front of him to take a look, and he could be sure that this was indeed a royal thing, but he didn't expect it to be in Cheng's mansion, and now he was "invited" by Master Cheng......
Seeing Qianqiu's angry face and gritting his teeth fiercely, Master Cheng smiled indifferently and continued: "Cheng is unwilling to ask for merit and reward, but he is not ready to pay for the lives of the rebels in Tianshui Pavilion. ”
In the open and secret battle between Master Cheng and Qianqiu, Master Cheng not only did not give him any face, but even made Qianqiu's teeth itch, but he couldn't find an excuse to convict the Cheng family, so he could only hold the gold medal of exoneration in his palm, squinted his eyes and said: "Hehe, I didn't expect Master Cheng that you are really a real person who doesn't show up, forget it, since this gold medal is a gift from the emperor, then I will let you go first this time, but I don't want your Cheng family to use this gold medal to do evil in the future, so this gold medal is temporarily detained, and I drive back to the palace!" ”
Don't give Master Cheng a chance to refuse at all, Qianqiu held the gold medal in his hand and was about to leave, no one dared to stop him who was full of anger at this time, even if it was Master Cheng, he sent it off with a smile, and his posture was the same as when Qianqiu first entered the mansion, calm and calm, and he couldn't see the slightest ripple.
After Qianqiu and the guards left, Master Cheng ordered someone to invite Yu Panxi and Cheng Yuanlian out of the back hall, who was over half a hundred years old and had gray sideburns, smiled slightly, and said: "Look, Cheng is not talking big, this matter is successfully resolved, isn't it?" ”
In fact, from Master Cheng's facial expression, it is not difficult to see that he is actually reluctant to give up the gold medal, after all, if the death-free gold medal stays in the Cheng family, it is equivalent to the existence of a talisman, and at this time, in order to protect Yu Panxi, he had to be taken away by Qianqiu.
She frowned and said: "Even though Panxi didn't mean to implicate the Cheng family, he still let the gold medal be snatched away by the tyrant, because Panxi is sorry for Master Cheng and sorry for the entire Cheng family." ”
"Hehe, Miss Yu is serious, Cheng is over half a hundred years old, and he already knows the destiny of heaven, and the power of money is just a floating cloud in my eyes, and that gold medal can not only save his life, but also its creation." Master Cheng waved his hand, as if he felt tired, and slowly walked in the direction of the back hall accompanied by Cheng Yuanlian.
Looking at his old and lonely back, Yu Panxi called out Ah Ye and said: "If Master Cheng wants to pay for me in vain, then I really don't want to go, Ah Ye, help me enter the palace again to assassinate the tyrant, I want to help him snatch back the gold medal that belongs to the Cheng family!" ”
After all, as long as Qianqiu's tyranny and government are overthrown, and more people know his evil nature, the Cheng family, who protects Yu Panxi, will become a meritorious man again, and the gold medal for exoneration will naturally return here.
Seeing that Yu Panxi had made up his mind, Ah Ye twisted his eyebrows and pondered: "It's okay, anyway, I sensed that the tyrant Qianqiu's aura was messy before, and it seems that the injury has not healed yet, and finding an opportunity to assassinate at this time will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”
As he spoke, Ah Ye's immature face showed a hint of coldness.
On the way back to the palace, Qianqiu's whole body exuded a monstrous and angry atmosphere, he came to Cheng's Mansion this time, originally intended to raise the teacher to ask for guilt, but who would have expected that Master Cheng would be so cunning, not only said that the destruction of Tianshui Pavilion was to eliminate harm for the people, but also moved out the gold medal for exoneration, so that Qianqiu couldn't touch a single hair of his hair, but what puzzled him was how this gold medal for exoneration fell into the hands of the Cheng family?
He sat on a comfortable sedan chair, summoned a eunuch of some age, and said thoughtfully: "What kind of credit did this Cheng family have for the first emperor before?" Why is there such a gold medal? ”
Qianqiu played with the gold medal, looking at the inscription on it, it seems to be the handwriting of the first emperor, even though he is not surnamed Mo, but how much does he know about Mo Baozhou's father, who is also the deceased emperor, knowing that he is not a faint monarch who has achieved nothing, on the contrary, he is a man who understands Wen Taowu strategy, a talented and virtuous person of national affairs, so he is more curious about the origin of this gold medal.
In fact, the old eunuch didn't know much about this matter, so he could only tell the story he heard to Qianqiu:
It turned out that the reason why the Cheng family was implicated with the royal family was because the ancestors of the Cheng family were lifelong friends with the first emperor, and the two cherished each other as confidants, and the grandmother of the Cheng family, and the queen of the reign of the first emperor, were also siblings.
Coincidentally, once the ancestor of the Cheng family was hunting, unfortunately attacked by fierce beasts, the ancestor of the Cheng family desperately escorted him, and did not hesitate to break his arm, which ensured that the emperor was safe and sound, but unfortunately, the ancestor of the Cheng family lost too much blood after that danger, and soon died.
