CHAPTER XXVII
The voices of these people are also very strong, represented by Zhang Zhao, who are arguing with reason in the court.
After receiving the report from the Ming State, Chai Rong quickly summoned the original team of Ma Li Gu, Wang Pu, Zhang Zhao, Fan Zhen and others to discuss countermeasures.
Chai Rong is now annoyed in his heart, it was originally a good thing, but he didn't want to be a good thing, but it turned into a bad thing, and now it is involved in a bloody case, which makes Chai Rong have some resentment towards Wang Pu in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not planned by Zhou Guo, we naturally know it in our hearts, but the problem is how to explain it clearly to Mingguo, the minister thinks that he should send another envoy to Jinling, one should be requested by Mingguo to participate in the trial of this case, and then he can also convey the emperor's mind to Mingguo." Li Gu was steady, Zhou Guo naturally knew that there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, and the intention of sending Wang Pu to Jinling was very clear to everyone present.
Fan said: "What Li Situ said is extremely true, what is most needed now is to explain the misunderstanding, and the minister thinks that it is a big matter for Zhou and Ming to jointly fight against foreign enemies, and they can't hurt the foundation of the alliance between Zhou and Ming because of this small misunderstanding." ”
Wang Pu said: "The minister thinks that Dr. Wang has always been steady, and will never instruct his entourage to commit murder in public, I am afraid that there is something strange about this matter, and now it is urgent to send someone to Jinling to get in touch with Dr. Wang to find out the ins and outs of the matter." ”
Zhang Zhao stepped forward and said: "Our country has a sincerity to give face to the Ming State, and only then did he send a heavy minister as an envoy to Jinling, but now because of the death of two students and ask our country about the guilt, my country also has two people killed in Jinling, if this is not investigated, how to maintain the face of my Great Zhou, the minister thinks that he should ask the Ming State." ”
"No, Zhang Shangshu is not proper. Now is the time to resolve this misunderstanding, not to add fuel to the fire. The alliance between Zhou and Ming to fight against foreign enemies is a big matter, and this matter is purely a misunderstanding and a small matter. How can it be a small waste of a big one? As soon as Wang Pu heard Zhang Zhao's words, he spoke out against it.
"Does what Wang Shangshu said mean the face of Zhou Guo?" Zhang Zhao was-for-tat.
"Zhang Shangshu is far-fetched, I mean it's a matter, not a face. The Ming Kingdom has tried its best to help our country over the years, and it is obvious to all, how can it be such a trivial matter, and the evil words are added? If this incident makes Zhou and Ming evil. How can our country fight against the Liao army alone? Wang Pu retorted.
Zhang Zhao snorted coldly and said, "Wang Shangshu is eloquent, and he eats like Zhou Guolu." I don't know where to sit on my ass. ”
Wang Pu said angrily: "Zhang Shangshu is so clever and vicious, what does he mean? ”
Chai Rong couldn't listen anymore and coughed vigorously. The two shut up and stopped arguing.
Chai Rong said: "Both of you are my feuds. Don't let things get dirty. I have decided to send people to Jinling, one to participate in the trial, and the other to convey my thoughts to the Emperor of Ming. ”
Originally, the emperor had already made a decision, and the courtiers should obey it.
But Li Gu, Wang Pu, and Fan Zhen responded to the order, but Zhang Zhao disagreed.
Zhang Zhao protested and said: "The saint, if the minister has objections, act according to what the saint says." From now on, our country will be a head shorter in front of the Ming Kingdom, and it will also be two lives. Why can he detain our country's important ministers, and ask our country to send people to Jinling? ”
Chai Rong was a little unhappy in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he asked, "Then according to Zhang Aiqing's meaning, how should I deal with it?" ”
"Uh......." Zhang Zhao was stunned, he just objected for the sake of opposition, and he really didn't think about how to deal with it, his heart turned sharply, and he said with a whim: "Shengshang, the minister thinks that he should ask Ming Guo to return Dr. Wang, and after that, the two countries will send envoys to conduct a trial, if Ming Guo does not return Dr. Wang, my country should fight for ...... on the basis of reason." ”
Wang Pu sne......ered on the side and mocked: "If you fight with reason, what if Mingguo still won't let people go?" Didn't Zhang Shangshumo want to enter Jinling Mansion? ”
Zhang Zhao was furious when he heard this, and roared: "Even if I am crushed to pieces, I will not be humiliated by the Ming Kingdom, it is better than you being a turtle with a shrunken head." ”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Chai Rong had to cough again to stop it.
Chai Rong felt that what Zhang Zhao said also made some sense, after all, it was not a private matter, it was about the diplomatic relations between the two countries, although the envoy of the Zhou State killed someone, but the two countries did not kill the envoy at war, after all, the Zhou State was also killed and injured, even if the envoy committed a crime, it would have to be punished by the laws of the Zhou State.
But Chai Rong didn't want to make enemies with the Ming State because of this, after all, it was in the fundamental interests of the two countries to jointly confront foreign enemies.
After thinking about it, Chai Rong said: "According to Zhang Aiqing's meaning, who should my country send to Jinling?" ”
Zhang Zhao said: "The minister is willing to send an envoy to Jinling. ”
Li Gu and Wang Pu were about to speak out against it, but Chai Rong waved his hand and said: "This matter is so decided, Zhang Aiqing went to Jinling hard." Zhang Aiqing, you have to remember that I have only one request, not to destroy the alliance between Zhou and Ming. ”
Zhang Zhao hurriedly bowed down and responded: "The minister obeys the order." ”
The moment he leaned over and lowered his head, no one saw a strange smile flash in his eyes.
Baili Wuji personally went to Jinling Academy to appease the students, and on the other hand, he made Baili Yi ready to go on the expedition.
On this day, after Xu Shiming and the two were tried, they came to report the case to Baili Wuji.
"Your Majesty, according to the confession of the injured student and the two injured Zhou retinues, in addition to the Zhou retinue who committed the murder, the remaining three retinues and the messenger Wang Pu did not act rudely to the students, and, according to the three confessions, the assailant did shout a sentence before waving the knife, which was for the weak or soft copper, although the words were different, but the pronunciation was the same. The minister couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't ask why. The minister was terrified. Xu Shiming pleaded guilty.
Feng Dao stepped forward and said: "The minister has asked the students of the academy and a large number of people present, and it is proved that the perpetrator of the murder did shout a word, but he also couldn't understand the meaning of the words. ”
Baili Wuji asked the two to leave the file behind and ordered them to retreat.
For a while, Baili Wuji's head was full of words that he didn't know what to mean, such as "if unified, weak, and soft......".
Baili Wuji guessed, perhaps, this is just a sentence that the murderer unconsciously shouted, and it has no meaning, just like exhaling and shouting "......" or "Ya ......" during a martial arts competition.
At this time, the guards came to report, and Baili Yi asked to see him.
Baili Wuji nodded unconsciously and motioned for him to come in.
"If you are unified, weak and soft, you are the same......" Baili Wuji raised his head and muttered these words.
"Da Lang, are you praying to God?" Baili Wuji didn't know when Baili Yi would come to his side.
"Ayi, what's the matter?"
Baili Yi said proudly: "The new army is about to go out, and the scale of this battle is unprecedented, so I want to come and talk to Dalang." By the way, Da Lang just said that Ruotong, but he was praying for blessings. ”
Baili Wuji glanced at Baili Yi and said, "What blessing to pray for, these are the two words in a sentence that the murderer in front of the post house chanted before committing the murder." I don't know what it means. ”
Bai Liyi suddenly burst out laughing. (To be continued......)
