On the second day, in the palace of the Son of Heaven, Ji Yan, Yan Shu, Li Gui, Ji Yong, Xia Xun and others sat together, and Ji Jingzu and grandson were kneeling in the hall with their hands tied behind their backs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Uncle Wang, I've been wronged!" Ji Yan looked at Ji Jing and said coldly.

Ji Jing's old face was like the sky before a rainstorm, black and terrifying: "My king tied the old minister to His Highness like a prisoner, I don't know what the reason is?" Although the thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven, but after all, the old minister is an important minister of the three dynasties, and I hope that my king will give a clear explanation. ”

Ji Yan sneered: "Still need to explain? Don't think that what you're doing is hidden enough that no one will know. This king asks you only one question: Are you willing to confess your sins? If he pleaded guilty, the king may have taken into account the blood kinship, and punished only the first offender, and not the rest; If you don't admit it, wait until the witnesses give evidence, and you will only be punished by the Nine Clans! "In the end, his face was full of frost, and his voice was terrible.

Ji Ying knew from the moment he was caught that the matter had been revealed, and he was afraid that he would not end well, so he let it out. At this time, kneeling in front of the Son of Heaven, he tried his best to straighten his waist and face the playmate of this hour, at that time he was always more sensible than him, more liked by adults, if he did the Son of Heaven, he must do better than the person in front of him, at any moment, he would not feel that he was inferior to him.

But what makes him strange is that no matter how hard he tries, his waist can't seem to stand up, in this Tianzi dormitory, the gap between himself and him seems to be infinitely magnified, and a feeling of insignificance and inferiority arises unconsciously in his heart, and gradually his body trembles, and his teeth fight up and down uncontrollably.

When Ji Yan showed a cold face, especially when he said the words "Zhu Jiu Clan", Ji Ying's body suddenly collapsed to the ground as soon as he became weak, and he muttered in his mouth: "No, no!" "The whole person is already soulless and delirious.

Ji Jing looked at the uncompetitive grandson beside him, and sighed secretly in his heart, a child who has not experienced setbacks and faced danger head-on, really can't stand the slightest setback, is it wrong to choose him as the candidate for the Son of Heaven? But he is already the best among his descendants, and other qualified descendants are even more unscrupulous, is my Ji Jing lineage really about to decline? A sense of heroic twilight arises spontaneously.

He took a deep breath, forcibly drove away this feeling of depression, looked at Ji Yan and said coldly: "My king is the Son of Heaven, and it is just a matter of one sentence to want to crown any crime against any minister, and the old man has nothing to say." However, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and when our king convicts the old man, he must also think about the people in the world! ”

Ji Yan shook his head and smiled: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, you are so old at such a great age, why are you so stubborn?" If the king has no tangible evidence, will he send someone to invite you? As he spoke, his face sank again: "Not to mention anything else, just say that you and the imperial physician Ling Hailin secretly colluded to poison the former king with drugs, causing him to die young, and using drugs to cause Lone to lose his fertility, which of these two things is not a major crime of the Nine Clans?" ”

Ji Jing suddenly became flustered: "You, how did you know such a secret thing? ”

"Humph! If you want to know no one, you can't do it unless you don't do it! Ji Yan sneered: "I will give you one more sentence: Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, as long as you have done something that hurts heaven and reason, there will definitely be a day to pay the price for it." Lone asks you again, confess or not? If you admit it, this king can spare your family as long as you and the heads of a few major coercions. ”

Ji Jing quickly calmed down, thinking that the tone of the Son of Heaven was so down-to-earth and determined, there must be some evidence, once his charges were confirmed, the Nine Clans might not be enough to punish him, so why not talk to him about the conditions.

"Okay, the old man can admit to poisoning the first king, and the old man can also admit to the fact that my king can't have children." Ji Jing said lightly.

"Oh!" There was a relenting cry in the hall, and Yan Shu and the others looked at each other, all surprised by the simplicity and ease of the Son of Heaven's trial of Si Kou, which was incredible.

Ji Jing continued: "However, the old man has a request. ”

"Speak!" Ji Yan also looked very indifferent, as if he had already foreseen that he would say this.

"After the old man confesses, my king can't kill anyone, including the old man."

"Huh?" There was another burst of exclamation in the hall, no one could have imagined that Ji Jing would dare to think so much, such a big crime, it was already a great grace to spare his family, and he actually wanted to save his life inch by inch. For a moment, there was a buzz in the hall.

Ji Yan raised his hands and pressed down, signaling everyone to calm down, and then looked at Ji Jing with a slight frown: "Give this king a reason not to kill you." ”

"As long as the old man is here, the Duchy of Eastern Zhou will not invade Luoyang; If the old man is gone, maybe the 100,000-strong army will be in the city in a few days. With the life of the old man, in exchange for the peace of Luoyang, with the sharpness of my king, I will not accept it! Ji Jing said calmly.

"The Eastern Zhou Gong Ji Gen is still in the hands of this king, how dare they attack?" Ji Yan said puzzled.

"Hmph, it is precisely because the Duke of Eastern Zhou is in the hands of my king that he gave Zhongxing Doctor Ji Dan a chance. On the day when the king captured the Duke of Eastern Zhou, he issued a letter that the Duke of Eastern Zhou had been killed by the Son of Heaven, and then integrated the power of the whole country and vowed to avenge the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and wash Luoyang in blood. The old man has always been in contact with him, and after the good thing was done, he issued an edict from the Son of Heaven to recognize him as the Duke of Eastern Zhou, and if he did not get the recognition of the old man, he would definitely attack Luoyang, so as to consolidate his position as the Duke of Eastern Zhou. ”

"You mean, this king arrested the Duke of Eastern Zhou, but he did Ji Dan a favor?"

However, this gave him the opportunity to be rightfully promoted. Even if Himegen were still alive, he would have forced my king to kill him. ”

"There are so many rebels and thieves!" Ji Yan looked at Ji Jing and shook his head, and then asked coldly: "How did he force this king to kill the Duke of Eastern Zhou?" ”

"If the old man succeeds, he will help him get rid of Ji Gen; If the old man doesn't succeed, he will bring troops over and force my king to kill Ji Gen and recognize his status as the Duke of Eastern Zhou, otherwise......"

"How else?"

"I'm afraid Ji Dan is not without ideas about the position of the Son of Heaven. If my king doesn't kill Ji Gen, it will inevitably make his position embarrassing, and when the water is difficult to recover, he can only do nothing, simply kill into Luoyang, and rob himself of the position of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Hmmm! That sounds like it. Ji Yan nodded and said: "What this king is puzzled about is that if you succeed in pushing Ji Ying to the throne, aren't you worried that Ji Dan will forcibly attack Luoyang?" ”

"Ji Dan is an ambitious guy, and the old man must be worried." Ji Jing groaned: "It's just that in order to gain his support, this risk can't be taken." If the old man succeeds, he will have a way to stabilize him, and at the same time develop and strengthen himself as soon as possible, so that when he really attacks, he will have enough strength to contend with him. ”

"Hmm!" Ji Yan nodded and asked suddenly, "Are you in contact with Zhao Guo?" ”

Ji Jing was shocked, looked at this young man in disbelief, and said after a long time: "That's right." However, it was not the old minister who went to find King Zhao, but the old minister sent by King Zhao to contact him. ”
