Chapter 212: Summoning Chen Qun
Jia Xu knew what Zhao Yue meant by "this kind of thing", at dawn, the emperor would definitely ask about this matter, and if Zhao Yue couldn't give a reasonable explanation at that time, what was waiting for him was probably not to be killed by the emperor, but to kill the emperor......
When Zhao Yue was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had already asked Jia Xu to inform Chen Qun to look for him in Chang'a Palace after the matter was over, and before Chen Qun arrived, Zhao Yue sat alone in the position above the main hall and closed his eyes and meditated, and took a slight nap.
The current situation is not very favorable to him, the court has just consolidated the foundation of the Han dynasty because of the arrival of Liu Bei's three brothers, and he is becoming more and more like a courtier who is loyal to others, rather than a powerful minister who controls the emperor.
In addition, Zhao Yun, a tiger general, has been wandering around the city since he arrived in Luoyang, although he was made a captain, but he did not take an obvious position to show whether his position was on Liu Bei's side or Zhao Yue's side.
There is also Cao Ping, because he resisted Wang Kuang's attack in Hanoi last time, he was seriously injured and could not go to the battlefield again in a short time, and the problem that Zhao Yue faced at this time was not only the precipitous situation, but also the dilemma of lack of available people.
Although Meng Idiot and Xu Huang were recalled from Hongnong, Xu Huang's loyalty is still unknown, and even Zhao Yue wanted to hint to Zhang Liao, who could be used to defend the city, he only felt that this was a loyal person in his heart, and he did not dare to guarantee that he was extremely loyal to him.
Everything didn't seem to be in his favor, at the critical moment, Qin Feng was still caught, and his current personal escort team didn't even have a person who could take charge!
"Smack"!
Zhao Yue really couldn't rest, and slapped it on the table, causing Jia Xu to look sideways with an unexplained expression.
"What about Chen Qun? Why not come yet! Zhao Yue was angry in his heart, "He feels that even Chen Qun is not necessarily on his side now, this person is quite rigid, he only knows that he abides by the law and order, Qin Feng's murder is a fact, and he may have gone directly to the palace now, or met Emperor Xian, or met Liu Bei, and revealed all the details he knew about himself!" ”
Jia Xu stood at His Royal Highness, silently looking at Zhao Yue with an anxious appearance, although he secretly felt bad in his heart, it did not produce any factors that affected his loyalty.
Although the current situation is not as optimistic as Li Dao and Guo Yan at the beginning, and it is also as tense as Zhang Duan of Hongnong in the past, Zhao Yue's resolute courage and decisive style in danger make Jia Xu feel that he will succeed, this is just the current situation.
As he was talking, Chen Qun came.
There was a few knocks on the door, and Jia Xu leaned over and looked out through the crack in the door before opening the door and letting him in.
Chen Qun walked in, and the one who entered the hall with him was also cold outside the hall, and the cold wind blew Chen Qun, his heart was a little desolate, and he was a little overwhelmed, but he couldn't extinguish the fierce flame burning in Zhao Yue's heart.
It was a cluster of Great Qin flames that would never be extinguished, a thousand times better than a candle flame, comparable to the pure steel of the scorching sun, and even more cold as moonlight.
"Lord, you called me here to ......" Chen Qun just wanted to ask, but suddenly realized that what he asked was actually nonsense, which was likely to cause the anger of his lord Zhao Yue.
Contrary to what he thought, Zhao Yue did not show abnormal emotions, but at the moment his face was calm, and asked in a calm tone: "Changwen, do you know the person you caught tonight?" ”
Chen Qun raised his head, wanting to figure out what Zhao Yue meant by asking, he saw Zhao Yue sitting calmly in his seat, one hand on the table, the other hand on the back of the wide treasure seat, a pair of eyes like two daggers, stabbing at him.
"He is the leader of the escort team that protects the lord, Chen Qun knows him, Qin Feng." Chen Qun said truthfully.
Zhao Yue nodded, he didn't have the time, and he didn't have the mood to engage in any twists and turns with Chen Qun, it was a matter of life and death, the survival of the forces, and the changes in the situation in the whole world, how could he talk and laugh as usual, "Well, that's good, so what?" Tomorrow, if the emperor asks about this matter, how are you going to deal with it? ”
Chen Qun was just upright, not unreasonable, and did not understand the way of officialdom, at this moment he did not answer in a hurry, but lowered his tone and asked tentatively: "Lord, how are you going to let the ministers deal with this matter?" ”
Zhao Yue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Chen Qun knowing the current affairs like this, because as long as Chen Qun was completely on his side, it would be very easy to convict him and clear his suspicions.
At that time, even if the officials who Cao Yuanze had encircled before pointed the finger at him together with Liu Bei, as long as he bit it to death and refused to admit it, the emperor would have nothing to do with him, and he would not need to do the kind of rebellious thing that the world thinks so quickly.
"Changwen, this matter is very important, since you are my courtier, I hope you can still listen to me carefully. I am also very sad about the death of Prime Minister Cao, but since people are dead, it is useless to grieve, we still have to focus on catching the murderer. At the time of the crime, it was late at night, and you thought, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is normal to recognize the wrong person. Although Qin Feng has now been caught by you, can you guarantee that the real murderer is him? ”
When these words came out, even Zhao Yue himself was a little weak-hearted, but he still stubbornly continued: "I guess, there may be another explanation for tonight's events. ”
Chen Qun listened to Zhao Yuegang's words, and the original suspicion in his heart had been confirmed.
If Zhao Yue had just directly shifted the blame to Qin Feng, then Chen Qun would not be able to judge whether his lord had instructed him behind his back in a short period of time, but Zhao Yue actually used these words to prevaricate, and a discerning person knew at a glance that the mastermind behind it would not be someone else, but the person sitting on the throne.
However, after hearing Zhao Yue say that he felt that there was another explanation, Chen Qun still out of instinct or the loyalty of his courtiers, and continued to ask: "What explanation?" ”
Zhao Yue stared at Chen Qun tightly with her eyes, eager to know what the person standing with His Highness was thinking at the moment, "That is, the murderer killed Cao Yuanze, the prime minister of the dynasty, and when he committed the murder, Qin Feng happened to pass by the prime minister's mansion and came forward to stop it unsuccessfully, but it caused the murderer to flee, and Qin Feng was regarded as a murderer." ”
Chen Qun frowned.
Zhao Yue saw this scene and also made a straight face.
"Forgive Chen Qun for not accepting such a ridiculous statement, in this way, Chen Qun feels ashamed in his heart."
The entire hall was silent for a long time before Chen Qun solemnly said such a sentence. (To be continued.) )
