Chapter 176: Authenticity
There were a few torches on both sides of the cloister, and the light of the fire flickered and dimmed, reflecting the light and darkness of the people's faces, and many officials, accompanied by the soldiers, walked along the cloister to the council chamber of the government office, and the governor's office Peng Bone Instrument was among them.
Yuwen Wen just asked everyone to report the 'traitorous henchmen', Gu Yi didn't write a word, he didn't plan to write, as for his own fate for a while, the other party will kill if he wants to, nothing else.
When I came to the conference hall, I saw that there were still Jia Shi standing on both sides, and the head sat the Xiyang King (King Di) Yu Wenwen, who had a bookcase in front of him, and there was a wooden box on the bookcase, and I didn't know what was in it.
The officials entered the hall one after another, and in front of the panicked gathering steps, many people began to feel nervous when they saw Yuwen looking at them coldly.
It has been more than an hour since the last time the two sides met here, and when many people were locked up in small houses, they looked at the pen and paper in front of them, and had to lift the pen, Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen Ming was clearly going to kill someone, so someone needed to tell him, they didn't want to be falsely accused, so they could only strike first.
The King of Xiyang wants to find out the 'Yu Chi clan's henchmen among them, in fact, for most people, they don't know who it will be, but it is better for others to die than to die themselves, and it is a big deal to muddy the water and die together.
So many people have written someone's name on the paper, some have a gap with themselves on weekdays, and some have offended themselves on weekdays.
Someone came in advance to take away the report letter they wrote, and now the situation is in the wooden box in front of Yu Wenwen, and it will be revealed who will be unlucky.
"Everyone's worked hard." Yu Wenwen opened his mouth to speak, his face was very kind and treacherous, and the widow was quite pleased, and then it was time for the answer to be revealed. β
In addition to Yu Wenwen's voice, no one else dared to speak, many people lowered their heads and looked at their toes, waiting for the final result to come, Gu Yi stood in the team, quietly looking at the head, quietly waiting for the moment of the end of his life.
Gu Yi is usually upright, and his relationship with his colleagues is not very good, he knows that he must have offended many people inadvertently, and now, it is the time for those people to take revenge, and there are not a few people who want to write his name, so it is very likely that he will be the first to be pulled out and beheaded.
People always die, so Gu Yi doesn't care, he wants to see how ferocious the legendary one-legged bronze man is.
Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, it is rumored that this person has a nickname called "One-legged Bronze Man", he is addicted to eating human flesh and does all kinds of evil, Gu Yi does not believe in this legend, so he wants to see with his own eyes how Yuwen Wen will deal with dissidents.
"Okay, it's not too early now, let's rest early, now, the widow will come and see, what Gu Cao Peng wrote..."Yu Wenwen said, while reaching out into the wooden box, Gu Yi's face changed when he heard this, and he stepped forward and said loudly:
"King! Xia Guan has never written a word! β
"Huh? Well... It's the widow who has lost his eyes...."Yuwen smiled softly, withdrew his hand, and everyone looked at it, only to see that there was nothing in his hand.
"Gu Cao Peng, I don't know if I've ever been to Yecheng."
"Back to the king, the lower officials have been there."
"So have you ever been in the palace?"
"Entered." Gu Yi felt a little strange, Yu Wenwen seemed to be chatting with him, and he didn't know what his idea was.
Yu Wenwen seemed to be casually continuing to ask: "I don't know if Gu Cao Peng can see the face of the sky?" β
"Xia Guan was summoned by His Majesty."
"Good, good."
After Yu Wenwen finished speaking, he got up, walked down the steps, came to Gu Yi, looked at the other party for a moment, and said: "There is an old man who said that he had seen Gu Cao Peng, why don't you ask him to come out and meet him?" β
"The subordinate is obedient."
Yuwen Wen glanced at the soldier who came out of the door, the man turned to leave, and after a while, several people walked into the hall, and the officials present turned their heads to look, only to see the first person in brocade clothes and jade belt, young, with a tight face, and I don't know who it was.
Gu Yi looked at the other party from a distance, it was nothing at first, and when he got closer, he stared at the man's face for a moment, and then he was stunned, looking incredulous.
The young man passed by the bone instrument, slowed down, nodded to him, and then continued to walk, Yuwen Wen on the side saluted him, and then as a guide, led the other party to sit down.
This situation made the officials present suspicious, Yuwenwen, the king of Xiyang (King Di), only in terms of identity, not only here, even in the court, is already below a few people, above ten thousand, and now he is so polite to this young man...
The person who can make the King of Xiyang the leader in public is now nothing more than the emperor, the king of Shu and the king of Qi, who is this young man, who can actually make the king of Xiyang like this?
Gu Yi was different from others, he looked at the young man above, not only with a puzzled look, but also with an expression like a ghost, Yu Wenwen stood next to the young man, and the other people who followed in stood left and right, looking at the people under the steps, and the momentum was extraordinary.
"Gu Cao Peng, the widow just asked, Gu Cao Peng has been to Yecheng and entered the palace, and he has also seen the Son of Heaven, right?"
"Yesβ" Gu Yi said with difficulty.
"Very good, I don't know if Cao Peng recognizes it, who is this person next to the widow?"
The officials present looked at Gu Yi with a brush, Gu Yi was sweating on his forehead at this time, he didn't know if he was dazzled, and he didn't know what to say, because what he saw was clearly a 'deceased' who was no longer alive.
"Uncle Gu, it's been more than six years since I met you in the Wendian since I cultivated myself, I don't know how it is recently?" Yuwen Qiankeng opened his mouth and said, he looked at the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion Peng Guyi under the steps, and recalled the past time.
His words stirred up a thousand waves like a stone, so that the officials present almost couldn't believe their ears, there is only one person in the world who can call himself 'I', and that person, that young person, has not been 'seriously injured'?
The officials present didn't have a chance to enter the palace to face the saint, so naturally they didn't know what the 'Daxing Emperor' looked like, and now the self-proclaimed 'I' in front of him may be the new monarch who has just succeeded to the throne depending on his age, so....
So is it true or false?
Most of them knew the situation of the Governor's Mansion Peng Guyi, who was actually demoted from Beijing, and before taking up the Governor's Mansion Peng, he had been idle at home, and the official position before that was said to be Nayan.
When the Zhou State began to place Nayan, it was called the imperial uncle, so when it was called Nayan, it was mostly "a certain imperial uncle", perhaps because the bone instrument offended too many people, so he lost the Beijing official and became the chief adjutant officer.
And he was the only one who had the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven at that time among the people present.
Gu Yi's whole body froze, he didn't know the authenticity of the one above, and he was a little suspicious that it was a 'fake' found by Yuwenwen.
Seeing this, Yuwen Qiankeng said slowly: "I still remember, the weather was hot that day, and the secretaries in the Xiuwen Hall were sweating like pulp, so the prime minister was old, and I gave him an ice drink, and the rest of the ministers had wet wipes to wipe their sweat, and the Zhongguan went to the front of Gu Nayan, and knocked over the basin by mistake..."
"The past is vivid, I don't know if the bone uncle still remembers?"
Hearing this, Gu Yi didn't hesitate anymore, and bowed to Yu Wen Qiancong: "Weichen Gu Yi, meet Your Majesty!" β
Seeing that Gu Yi was like this, the rest of the officials were at a loss, and Yu Wenwen shouted loudly: "Presumptuous! The Son of Heaven is coming, who dares to be rude! β
As soon as the words fell, everyone was busy bowing down, they really couldn't figure out why Emperor Daxing, who had been 'seriously injured and died', appeared here alive.
Yu Wenwen stared at Gu Yi and asked loudly: "Gu Cao Peng, you have to be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou, very good, now that Your Majesty is here, which court do you want to be loyal to!" β
"Wechen... Wechen doesn't know that His Majesty is still in the world, Wechen is rude, Wechen is guilty, Wechen is guilty! β
Gu Yi's voice was sad, he kept kowtowing, and he hit the ground with a bang, he only said that the Son of Heaven had already done a great job, so he was not sure that the person in front of him was a real person, and now the other party talked about the small accident back then, which was enough to prove the authenticity of the identity.
Yuwen Qiankeng was quite relieved to see this, he vaguely remembered that this Gu Yubo had offended many people because of his strong personality, so he was removed from his post for some reason.
It is said that he is idle at home, as for the later career is unknown, at that time Yuwen Qiankeng had no real power, for this strange-looking 'bone uncle', although curious but powerless.
He looked at the large number of people kneeling down the steps, got up and said: "I, I was killed by a traitor in the palace that day, but fortunately I escaped from the palace with the help of loyal ministers and righteous people, and escaped from Yecheng!" β
"The treacherous minister claimed that I was seriously stabbed and died, and kidnapped the prince of Xiyang as the new king, intending to cover up the evil deeds of killing the king!"
"I went all the way south, repeatedly in distress, all of them were helped by loyal ministers and righteous people, and repeatedly met evil and turned auspicious, and now I have arrived at the hanging gourd, and the king of Xiyang has led troops to greet me, this is the will of heaven, let me continue the Great Zhou Guozuo!"
Hearing such shocking news, the officials present almost forgot to breathe, they didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret in the big event that happened in Yecheng.
Yuwen Qiankeng looked at the bone instrument, then at the other officials, then at the bookcase in front of him, noticed the wooden box, and asked, "King Xiyang, what is this?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, this is a letter of report from all officials, to report who among the people present is a traitorous henchman."
"Henchmen? I don't believe it, I don't believe that among the people present, there is anyone who is a traitor! Yuwen Qiankeng said loudly, "The traitor holds the power of the imperial court, and it cannot be said that the officials he appointed are all his henchmen!" β
"I, I believe that all of you present are loyal ministers of the Great Zhou!"
As soon as the words fell, Yuwen Qiankeng picked up the candlestick on the side and threw the burning candle into the wooden box, and after a while, thick smoke rose from the wooden box, and then it burned, and all the reports were burned.
Seeing this situation, many officials who were prostrate on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the Son of Heaven standing at the top raise his arms and shout: "I, I vow to kill the traitors, and return the Great Zhou to a bright future, everyone, are you willing to follow the left and right and clear the world?" β
As soon as the words fell, the answer sounded like a tide, and the hall buzzed: "Weichen is willing to be a pawn for Your Majesty!" β
