Chapter 215: The Torture of the Emperor

The hundred officials were already in place, Zhao Yue was standing in the front position, Jia Xu followed him closely, turned around and quietly glanced at Chen Qun, Zhao Yue frowned, looking at Chen Qun's meticulous appearance, Zhao Yue knew that he would never change his mind last night, but it didn't matter, Zhao Yue no longer pinned his hopes on Chen Qun.

Standing next to the emperor's throne, holding a whisk in her hand, wearing the unique costume of a eunuch and internal guard, she shouted loudly: "Go to the court!" ”

After a long voice, the guards guarding the red door of the main hall pushed the two huge doors shut, and the whole hall fell into a slightly dark environment, only the hollow gap on the red door could penetrate the outside sunlight into the main hall, and the stone floor in the hall reflected the appearance of everyone in the court.

The decoration of the palace hall is very different from the decoration of the main hall of Chang'a Palace, there is no red carpet on the ground, and the pillars are not red, but a pure wood color, which is a function that Zhao Yue has perfected when he repaired the Luoyang Palace.

It's just that he stood in the palace he had built by himself at this time, and he didn't feel any sense of honor, or that he would be valued by the emperor.

He only felt that all the officials were focusing on him, and there was a feeling of a tattoo on his back, and the coldness ran from his forehead to his heels.

Emperor Han Xian walked up to the hall as usual, with several maids following behind him, but today was different from the past, the moment he sat down on the dragon chair, two more armies ran out from the small doors on both sides of the hall, firmly surrounding the entire interior of the hall, Zhao Yue frowned.

As the leader of the renovation of the main hall, he knew where the two doors led, but what did it mean to act like this all of a sudden?

Zhao Yue's eyes couldn't help but look at Emperor Han Xian, and Emperor Liu Xie of Han Xian glanced at Liu Bei first, and then said softly: "Last night, the prime minister was stabbed in his mansion and died, I am very sad, and the general Liu Bei in order to take care of my safety, so let the soldiers go to the palace to guard, I hope that the hundred officials will not misunderstand." ”

Zhao Yue took a deep breath.

Liu Bei stood aside, turned to face Emperor Han Xian, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I also hope that Your Majesty will ask about the Prime Minister's backstabbing, last night, the younger brother and Chen Qun, who is in charge of Luoyang's security, have already caught the culprit, that is the commander of King Qin's personal guard, that person named Qin Feng." ”

Emperor Han Xian looked at Zhao Yue, but his gaze quickly shifted away, and then asked Chen Qun, "Chen Qun, I ask you, what's going on?" ”

Chen Qun knelt down, buried his head down, couldn't see his expression clearly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, everything is as the general said, the minister did catch Qin Feng, may I ask Your Majesty if you have summoned him to the palace and asked him face to face." ”

If it is an ordinary crime, you only need to arrest the criminal and send it to the yamen in the city, but the deceased last night was the prime minister, and the murderer was the personal guard commander under the command of the king of Qin, who was the king, so this level of crime, the emperor interrogated, and it has become a matter that has to be carried out.

"Since this is the case, the hundred officials have no opinion, so let me interrogate it. Brother Qin Wangyi, do you have any opinions? Emperor Han Xian looked at Zhao Yue, and there was a hint of solicitation in his voice.

Zhao Yue could hear the malaise, but at this moment, he couldn't do anything, so he could only reply stubbornly: "Your Majesty, there is no ghost in the minister's heart, and he is not afraid of being framed by others, the emperor, you just ask, you don't need to care about the minister's feelings, besides, Qin Feng kills people, this is a fact, and the minister is not easy to cover, everything depends on Your Majesty." ”

Seeing this, Emperor Han Xian didn't speak, Chen Qun only sighed secretly, Zhang Fei had a pair of big eyes, glared at Zhao Yue fiercely, and then shook his hand and walked to the vicinity of the palace gate, and the guards guarding the door saw this, and hurriedly pushed the door open for him.

The time had already arrived in the morning, and the dazzling eyes made all the people in the hall a little uncomfortable, but Zhao Yue was not in the mood to block the sunlight with his hands, at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and shifted his gaze from Zhang Fei's body at the door to Emperor Han Xian on the dragon chair behind him.

Liu Xie was looking at him with a wise gaze that made him shudder.

But in just an instant, Liu Xie hurriedly raised his hand and blocked it in front of his eyes, Zhao Yue didn't think about it because the sunlight was too dazzling, and even he felt that because of fear, worry, and the short period of sunlight, his thinking had an illusion.

How could the emperor, who had no ability and relied on his ministers for everything, look at himself with that kind of eye when the sun was shining in, not afraid of dazzling discomfort?

When he was thinking about it, Qin Feng, who was already wearing a cloak and a mess of patterns on his face, walked up, Zhao Yue's eyes widened, because what he saw was not only that, Qin Feng who appeared in front of him became ragged in just one night, with shackles on his feet and hands, and where his clothes were torn, red marks on his skin and flesh could be seen slightly, and some even had blood stains.

Zhao Yue clenched his fists, he knew that this must have been done by the Imperial Forest Army under Zhang Fei.

Ordinary sinners rely on officials to bring them to court, but at this moment, because the presiding judge is the emperor, he actually handed it over to the Imperial Forest Army, Qin Feng thought of this, and even smiled.

He knew each other very well, and he didn't make any eye contact with Zhao Yue, he was just honestly led by the group of royal forest soldiers and walked up to the main hall.

The eyes of many people in the crowd were constantly shifting from Qin Feng and Zhao Yue's bodies, and the whispers continued.

"Tsk, how can this kind of barbarian, who is not very old, who is still scribbling all over his face, and who is good at using hidden weapons, be the personal guard commander of my Han Dynasty prince and noble?"

"Hmph, it depends on which king it is, King Qin's age is about the same as him, half a catty and eight taels ......"

"Hey, you say, does Prime Minister Cao Cheng's death have anything to do with Zhao Yue?"

If it is said that before, Liu Bei did not arrive, Zhao Yue did not have any fault, and completely covered the sky with one hand, these officials did not dare to talk about him openly in the court, otherwise, it would be a death, not killed, and also killed.

Of course, once someone makes a bird, such as Cao Yuanze.

If they talk about it now, they will not have any psychological burden, there is a heroic person like Liu Bei to carry the matter, and there is the responsibility of jumping into the Yellow River to wash it away, Zhao Yue does not dare at this time, and he can't do anything to those people who mutter.

Emperor Han Xian bit his lip and asked, "Qin Feng, you tell me the truth, you assassinated the prime minister, could someone be behind it?" ”

Qin Feng shook his head, "No." ”

"Then why did you assassinate the prime minister?" Emperor Han Xian asked again.

For this question, Qin Feng really didn't know how to answer. In order to protect Zhao Yue's safety, he could only keep silent at this time and deliberately pretend to be dumb. (To be continued.) )
