Chapter Eighty-Nine: Unjust Cases
Looking at Zhu Yi's constricted pupils, He Ziming said lightly: "Lord Zhu, as a member of Yulinwei, this sword should always be known, right?" ”
"It's ...... This is the Dragon Sword? Zhu Yi said in surprise. As the guards of the Son of Heaven, the people of Yulinwei all know what the Tenglong Sword looks like, and they also know how to distinguish the authenticity of the Tenglong Sword - the dragon eyes on the sword are made of extraterrestrial materials, the color is pitch black, crystal clear, like real eyes.
"Yes, it's the Son of Heaven's sword-Tenglong Sword!" He Ziming said proudly, "Now Lord Zhu should believe that the current emperor is sitting in front of him, right?" ”
Zhu Yi's gaze swept back and forth over Li Guanqi's three bodies, although he was not very sure, but he did not expect it to be too bad. Li Guanqi's luxurious temperament is still clear at a glance, and the young man in front of him holding a dragon sword is obviously a guard with superb martial arts, and the identity of the private school gentleman may be a close minister of a certain son of heaven.
After weighing it in his heart for a long time, Zhu Yi still chose to believe it, after all, the Tenglong Sword can't be faked, so he took two steps forward, knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Deputy Commander Chen Yu Linwei made Zhu Yi knock on the emperor!" Please also ask the emperor to forgive the ministers for the crime of disrespect! ”
Li Guanqi stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yi, looked at him and said, "Those who don't know are not to blame, General Zhu is also a cautious move." I rashly invited, and I ask the general for forgiveness for the abruptness! ”
Where did Zhu Yi think that the emperor would be so polite, and hurriedly said that he didn't dare. Li Guanqi introduced Zhao Pu and He Ziming next to him, and everyone exchanged two more greetings, and Li Guanqi sat down and beckoned several people to sit down as well. Zhu Yi saw the driver for the first time, although he was not in the court, he still felt uncomfortable, and he just sat half-bowed.
"The emperor summoned his ministers to come today, I don't know what to order?" Zhu Yi was not very down-to-earth after all, and asked bluntly after sitting down.
Li Guanqi pursed his lips, looked at Zhu Yi, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Zhu Yi, who are you loyal to?" ”
Zhu Yi was startled by Li Guanqi's sudden turn of face, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor is the king of a country, and the ministers are naturally loyal to the emperor, and they will never dare to have the slightest disobedience!" ”
"Loyal to me? I'm afraid you're always thinking about how to kill me, right? Li Guanqi gritted his teeth and said coldly.
Zhu Yi's body trembled slightly, and he continued to say respectfully: "The minister is indeed loyal, and please ask the emperor to see it!" ”
Li Guanqi snorted lightly in his nose and said, "Since you said that you are loyal to me, then I ask you a question, are you willing to answer it truthfully?" ”
"The emperor just asks, and the ministers will know everything, and they will say everything!" Zhu Yi crouched on the ground and said in a trembling voice.
"My question is actually quite simple." Li Guanqi smiled lightly and said, "What is your real name?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yi clenched his fists suddenly, and just as he was about to get up, he felt a heavy pressure pressing over, and the corner of his eyes found that He Ziming had moved to his side......
Zhu Yi lay on the ground, his body kept trembling, as if he was sitting in a fierce struggle in his heart, and after a long time, his clenched hands slowly let go again, straightened up, and said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor asked so, I think he already knows the true identity of the minister?" ”
Li Guanqi stared at Zhu Yi's eyes and said, "I don't know if I know, whether I tell you or not, these are two completely different things." ”
"Since the emperor already knows, I don't know what to do with the ministers?" Zhu Yi had a miserable smile on his face and said: "The minister has no family, no relatives and no reason, there is no nine clans to destroy!" ”
Li Guanqi turned his head and glanced at Zhao Pu, and his hanging heart was relieved, although after the secret investigation of the intelligence department personnel under Zhao Pu, Zhu Yi's identity was found to be suspicious, but they couldn't be sure whether Zhu Yi was the person they guessed. Now that Zhu Yi has admitted his identity, it means that their guess is correct, which means that they are one step closer to their goal.
"Do you still insist that you are loyal to me?" Li Guanqi stared at Zhu Yi and said slowly, "Zhu Mingju? ”
Hearing Li Guanqi call out his real name, Zhu Yi pursed his lips vigorously, but he still couldn't control his excitement, his body kept shaking, and he spoke again after a long time: "The minister is the courtier of the great Qian, and the emperor is the emperor of the great Qian, since he is a monarch and minister, how can he be disloyal?" ”
Li Guanqi nodded lightly, and then asked, "Your whole family died at the hands of the former emperor, don't you have a little resentment towards me?" ”
"If the minister has a grudge, he will not choose to become an official, but will fall into the grass!" Zhu Yi said sadly.
"I'm actually very confused." Li Guanqi said slowly, "In the 'Yulin Weimou Rebellion Case' back then, you escaped by luck because you were far away in the countryside. Why, after so many years, did you not only return to Jingshi, but also join your father's former Yulin Guard? Aren't you afraid of being discovered? ”
Zhu Yi struggled to control his grief and indignation, gritted his teeth and said, "As the general of Yulinwei, my father's duty is to protect the emperor, how can he have the heart of rebellion?" I was really wronged! But the king let the minister die, and the minister had to die. The servants are secretly living, not so that they can seek revenge against the royal family one day, but so that they can clear my family's crimes. ”
"So, you're back, and you're still doing Yu Linwei, just to prove to me that you're loyal to the Zhu family, right?" Li Guanqi's tone also carried a trace of emotion.
"The emperor can understand the heart of the minister, why regret the death of the minister?" Zhu Yi couldn't suppress his feelings, and tears were already pouring out of his eyes.
Li Guanqi stood up, calmed down, and said slowly: "I am not blind or deaf, I can still tell who is loyal and who is traitorous." If I really think you're unfaithful, how can we meet today? ”
"Your Majesty ......" Zhu Yi heard this, and was even more excited and speechless.
Li Guanqi continued: "I specially reviewed the file of your father's rebellion case back then, it was indeed an unjust case, and I wish the family to be innocent. A poem that 'dares to change the sun and the moon' is not enough to prove your father's accusation of rebellion! ”
Li Guanqi's words were clearly to rehabilitate the Zhu family, how could Zhu Yi not hear it? His back was straight, his ears were erect, and he didn't dare to miss a word. Anonymous, fearless and fearless of hardships and dangers, what is such hard work for? Isn't it possible to wash away the family's crimes one day?
Looking at the expectant gaze in Zhu Yi's eyes, Li Guanqi turned his words lightly and said, "Of course, in the matter of your father, the emperor did nothing wrong? You can't be too careful about rebellion! So, the real murderer of your whole family is not the emperor, but the one who denounced your father! ”
