Chapter 23 Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots
The next day, the emperor keenly discovered that his Luo Aiqing had not come to the court and he had not yet written to ask for leave in advance.
The emperor asked, and saw that Qin Jinghao hesitated again and again, but still came out, Qin Jinghao's reason told him not to go out, but emotionally speaking, he didn't want Luo Yunyao to be punished.
Qin Jinghao reported Luo Yunyao's injury to the emperor.
Saying that he saved Luo Shangshu by drinking late with Atractylodes that day, he was drunk and even directly stabbed the killer, and he was ashamed that he didn't leave a living mouth, but fortunately he searched for something from the assassin, and hereby presented it to His Majesty.
Qin Jinghao said this very well. The words showed that he was addicted to wine and did not engage in government affairs, which alleviated the emperor's suspicion of him. There was no room left, but evidence was left. And in advance, he also showed a sense of entanglement that he didn't want to participate in the government, but others didn't know that he had to participate.
The emperor expressed his concern for Luo Yunyao meaningfully, and immediately stated that he wanted to give Luo Yunyao justice.
However, when Qin Jinghao presented the things.
All the ministers present showed expected expressions, and regardless of Emperor Tieqing's face, they began to whisper one after another.
The emperor stared at the things presented to him, and he didn't make a sound for a long time, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the green tendons on the emperor's head rising.
Everyone knows very well that this thing is only something that the Marquis of Xiangguo has, and this is what the emperor personally gave to the Marquis of Xiangguo.
Prime Minister Lu Cheng came out and sang a red face to defend Xiang Guohou and said: "Your Majesty, there is something strange about this matter. Since Xiangguo Hou wanted to assassinate Luo Shangshu, how could he be stupid enough to give the killer something that could reveal his identity. After all, the assassination of the imperial court officials is a major event, and the light ones are immediately decided, and the heavy ones are ...... Zhulian Nine Clans! ”
Although it is a justification, it makes the guilt clear. It can be seen that Prime Minister Lu's eloquence is profound.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately stood up, and he was upright: "Your Majesty, there is no need to doubt that the minister thinks that the facts are already in front of him. Looking at the whole world, the only person who is the most unsightly person with Luo Shangshu now is Xiang Guohou, this is the motive, this is one of them. The ministers heard that Luo Shangshu was selfless and selfless, and he was greatly appreciated by the people of the world when he was ordered to deal with the case of Xiangguohou, and everyone in the world knew that Luo Shangshu had already given them to the people of Nanjiang if he did not deserve them. In this way, the Marquis of Xiangguo is so poor that he wants to use this precious thing given by the emperor to sell the killer's life. Besides, Luo Shangshu's reputation was flourishing, how could his life be a simple price. That's the second one. ”
The head of the household department stood up with a look of approval and praise, and said respectfully: "It is worthy of being the master of the criminal department, and the analysis is the way." The minister seconded the proposal and asked His Majesty to give justice to Luo Shangshu, who asked for his life for the people. ”
After all, Prime Minister Lu Cheng is an old man in officialdom, and he is even more clear about the emperor's personality. It is impossible for him to give Liu Guifei another room to make the emperor not give up, and he will not give the emperor room to help Xiang Guohou speak.
Both the household department and the criminal department are Prime Minister Lu Cheng's people, and the three of them analyzed the stakes very clearly in a few words. There is no room for postponement in this matter.
Such a red face and a white face, the double reed sang to this part. The hundred officials are also suitable to express their position: "The ministers seconded the proposal." Please Your Majesty give Luo Shangshu justice. ”
Most of the people in the court are now Prime Minister Lu Cheng, and the people of Xiangguohou are under investigation, even if they are not investigated, now this situation, it is good if they are not involved, who dares to speak. Not to mention a neutral official, Luo Yunyao alone was originally a neutral member, and besides, he was so good, he naturally spoke for him.
A group of courtiers fell to their knees, waiting, or rather forcing the emperor to give an explanation.
Qin Jinghao, who single-handedly planned this big drama, had already entered the ranks, listening and watching them quietly. The casual appearance seems to be the idle general who ignores political affairs and hangs high, as if the outcome of this discussion has nothing to do with him, he is just waiting for the next court. Only the occasional raised eyelashes revealed his thoughts.
Blood debt and blood repayment, this is still light.
The emperor's will to temporarily detain the Marquis of Xiangguo had not yet reached the Marquis of Xiangguo's mansion, so he turned back because he heard that the Marquis of Xiangguo had turned back.
The Marquis of Xiangguo, who was favored by the emperor the most, has now colluded with the king of Beixu.
Angry, the emperor spat blood on the spot, and panted and ordered: "Cut in half!" Cut in half!! And he fainted, unconscious.
Later, a passage of the emperor's words to Liu Guifei was recorded in the history books, which was probably translated like this.
"Bastard thing! They are all white-eyed wolves that can't survive in packs. Since the disaster broke out in Nanjiang, which thing did your father commit that was not a capital crime?! I have protected him for so long, because you have protected him, ignoring the eyes of the courtiers and the people, and in the end, what did he repay me? Rebel?! Ate bear heart leopard gall? I've spoiled him for too long, and I don't know if the sky is high and the earth is thick, right? It's still good to cut in half! According to me, it is not too much to let him die nine times! You haven't whipped the corpse yet, why are you crying...... crying"
Of course, the matter of sending troops to conquer the Marquis of Xiang Guo was done by Qin Jinghao.
Rumor has it that Qin Jinghao easily defeated the 50,000 troops of the Marquis of Xiang with 5,000 elite soldiers.
Rumor has it that the Marquis of Xiang Guohou resisted too much and refused to be taken back by Qin Jinghao, and committed suicide by arson.
Luo Yunyao listened to the maids still talking about this matter, so she leaned on the pillow and showed a look of listening to the story: "Xiangguohou really committed suicide?" ”
Qin Jinghao gave a look and let Luo Yunyao understand it for herself.
Luo Yunyao happily realized that this is a "Do you think it is possible?" Rhetorical question.
Luo Yunyao immediately said, "Of course it's impossible. I dare to say that it is difficult to find a person in the world who is more greedy for life and afraid of death than Xiang Guohou. If he could, he could kill himself...... Well, I believe that sows go up trees. ”
Qin Jinghao raised his head and glanced at Luo Yunyao.
Luo Yunyao pretended not to see it and continued: "General Qin, your lying skills are not good. ”
Qin Jinghao was not to be left behind: "Well, lying is naturally not as good as you." ”
Luo Yunyao smiled to comfort him, and pretended to praise himself for someone's ridicule: "It's okay, let me give you an idea next time you lie, it's not that I said, I should be able to deceive ordinary people." ”
Qin Jinghao couldn't cry or laugh at Luo Yunyao's pride in this dishonest bad temperament, so he could only spoil her and say, "En."
Luo Yunyao raised her eyebrows proudly, took the initiative to get to Qin Jinghao's side, and took the initiative to eat the traditional Chinese medicine that Qin Jinghao fed her for the first time.
Qin Jinghao easily fed the candied fruit to Luo Yunyao's mouth.
Qin Jinghao fed Luo Yunyao medicine before, and Luo Yunyao looked at him like a wolf, tiger and leopard, well, looking at this bowl of medicine. Every time, she retreated to the corner of the wall, eager to bury herself in the corner of the wall so that Qin Jinghao could never find her again. Although this looks so cute. It's just that after such a week, the medicine is more difficult to drink when it is cold, not to mention, and it may also affect the efficacy of the medicine.
Qin Jinghao squinted slightly at Luo Yunyao blinking and chewing candied fruit, and thought back to when Luo Yunyao had just come over to take medicine. Gently hooked a not-so-friendly smile.
Luo Yunyao, who lives in modern times, has eaten Western medicine from snacks, and she has already eaten without feeling anything. Luo Yunyao was originally a person who was afraid of hardship, although she had been in this world for a long time, she was not used to eating Chinese medicine.
It was difficult for her to take the medicine just now, partly because she had counted down the general's lying skills, and she was afraid that the general would be unhappy and angry with her. In addition, she watched Qin Jinghao persuade herself several times every time she fed herself medicine, and she was still very upset, and she felt sorry for him. Of course, these are not enough to constitute the reason for the discovery of her conscience, and the important thing is that she still has something to ask Qin Jinghao.
"So how did Xiangguohou die?"
Qin Jinghao watched Luo Yunyao rub over and approached him, with a pair of big curious eyes, which were full of himself. Qin Jinghao's voice was slow, as if he was telling a story to a child, and said casually: "It's similar to the rumors, it's also burned to death." But I was punished before. ”
He said it lightly, but Luo Yunyao knew that Xiangguo must have suffered a lot before he died. Luo Yunyao thought about the "Top Ten Tortures" that she had read before, and tried to add them all to Xiang Guohou.
For a while, Luo Yunyao felt a little cold on her body
Qin Jinghao reached out and took Luo Yunyao into his arms, he saw Luo Yunyao's fear, and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Don't think about it." After a while, he thought of something and asked her, "Yun Yao doesn't like me like this?" I'll ...... next time."
Luo Yunyao leaned on Qin Jinghao's shoulder and took the opportunity to eat his tofu. The fear in my heart passed, and my reason returned: "No, it's me, I'm too." He is not a saint, and he repays virtue with resentment. "I also think that most men like girls like white lotus, they are kind and simple. And it seems a bit ...... that I exposed myself all of a sudden Luo Yunyao cautiously looked up at Qin Jinghao, wanting to defend herself: "I'm actually not bad, right...... Well, well, at least I'm not kind either. You ...... "Would you like me like this unkind?" Luo Yunyao didn't dare to ask this sentence, what if Qin Jinghao didn't like it? I can't even think about it. Luo Yunyao thought for a while and used famous quotes to enhance her persuasiveness: "We have a saying in Biluo, 'If people don't offend me, I won't offend people.'" If anyone sins against me, give him a stitch. If a person commits a crime, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. 'Well, as the eldest princess of Biluo, I executed this sentence quite well. ”
"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If anyone sins against me, give him a stitch. If a person still commits a crime, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots? Qin Jinghao repeated this sentence thoughtfully, and the last words were playful.
Luo Yunyao listened to Qin Jinghao repeat this sentence in his nice voice. Suddenly ashamed of his righteousness just now. buried his head in Qin Jinghao's chest, secretly regretted saying more, and just shook his head. Now I can't save my image of the White Lotus, how can I deceive Qin Jinghao, and then eat him like jade.
I only heard Qin Jinghao continue: "This sentence is interesting. ”
