One Hundred and Seventy-One: Trapped Beast
If this is the case, then what the Xu family is doing must be very taboo of Emperor Jiaping.
But the Xu family is a nobleman, and the British Duke is the one who leads the troops to fight, and he is cautious and knows the taboos very well, and he has not committed much of the taboo of Emperor Jiaping. What happened to make Emperor Jiaping suddenly hate them so deeply?
Emperor Jiaping seemed to hesitate for a long time.
But he came to the Queen Mother because he couldn't make up his mind, and this hesitation lasted not long before he coldly told the Queen Mother about Jin Qiong.
The Queen Mother certainly has an impression of Jin Qiong.
can mix with a town guard eunuch, this eunuch must be very shameful in the palace.
Hearing that the Xu family had colluded with Jin Qiong, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be a little shocked: "Befriending close servants, what is this plotting?!" ”
Befriending close servants, no matter what dynasty it is, is a taboo thing for the emperor.
This is especially true of Emperor Jiaping.
He ascended the throne as a young man, and the ministers and queen mother around him were very strict, so he trusted the eunuchs very much.
However, he paid his trust, but demanded absolute loyalty from the eunuchs.
He can allow those eunuchs to be corrupt and arrogant, but he will never allow them to collude with the ministers and leak information.
Jin Qiong is also one of the eunuchs he trusts very much, but he colluded with the Xu family, and if he wants him to believe that there is no conspiracy here, he will not believe it no matter what.
He gritted his teeth and finished saying this, and then said: "Jin Qiong committed suicide in fear of crime because he failed to assassinate Tingchuan, I was very angry at that time, this dog slave dared to commit murder against Tingchuan because he was found out about corruption, but he did not commit suicide himself, but was killed by someone sent by the Xu family!" ”
The Queen Mother's pupils dilated for a moment, and then she was shocked and asked, "What?!" ”
But she actually knew it in her heart, but there was no evidence before, the Xu family was cautious, Jin Qiong was killed again, and the evidence was naturally swept away, if they didn't find evidence, they couldn't talk about it, otherwise it would only make things worse.
It can be a matter of how long it will take to have a result, but suddenly it was said by Emperor Jiaping himself, this feeling is really unreal.
After the Queen Mother finished asking this sentence, she frowned and said, "You just said that Xu Zhaohai was colluding with the Lu family, why did you suddenly say that it was colluding with Jin Qiong to be detrimental to Tingchuan?" Xujia ...... But the Prince's Mansion! ”
She said, observing Emperor Jiaping's expression, coughed and said, "If you are convicted without evidence, you can't convince the public." ”
Emperor Jiaping couldn't bear it anymore, and the anger that had been accumulated for many days finally vented: "Xu Zhaohai, this miscellaneous! As early as last year, the rebellion of the Pingnan Hou Mansion was triggered by Xu Zhaohai------ at that time, it was he who let go of Lu Guangping, who came to the capital to spy on the news! Then the British duke deliberately tried every possible means to facilitate the Lu family during the war......"
Even all of this is making trouble?
The Queen Mother was really unsure of what was going on at this time, so she could only make a shocked expression, and then persuaded Emperor Jiaping to calm down: "Does the emperor have evidence?" ”
"Jin Qiong has left a secret letter!" Emperor Jiaping's face was cold, and he clenched his fists and stood up: "The secret letter left by Jin Qiong to communicate with the British government not only said that the Lu family had been giving gifts and bribes to the ministers of the court and China by relying on King Xingping, but also said that the Xu family let Lu Guangping go, and Lu Guangping fled through Jinling, or Jin Qiong's help. Not only that, but there is also the fact that the Xu family ordered Jin Qiong to collect the most vicious bandits from all over the country and let them assassinate Tingchuan...... The Xu family is so hand-eyed! Just play me like a fool! The Lu family rebelled, I think they are only afraid and they are almost gone! ”
He was so angry that he even said such words, which shows that he really hates the Xu family.
No wonder you have to cancel the marriage no matter what.
The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Jiaping and said lightly: "Since Jin Qiong left a secret letter to correct it, and it is such a huge matter, it should naturally be investigated, but it stands to reason that this matter is inseparable from everyone in the Xu family, and the emperor only locked up Xu Zhaohai." Or in the name of colluding with the Lu family? ”
Emperor Jiaping stood up and paced in the hall a little anxiously: "The old fox of the British duke, Jin Qiong's letter cannot be used as evidence for conviction, he can push three, four or five, he has made great achievements, if I arrest him without evidence, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army, and now the Wara side is starting to look at it again, I can't do such a thing." ”
The Queen Mother nodded: "The emperor thinks very much, if Xu Zhaohai can confide something here, he can also open a gap." ”
"He is not stupid, he must know that if he confesses, the bad luck of the British prince is his bad luck, he will not say it. I want to force the British to act. Emperor Jiaping showed a fierce expression: "This old fox, if you don't push him into a corner, he won't show the fox's tail, I lock up Xu Zhaohai, and after a while, I will go to Xu's house to catch one more person, I don't believe that the old fox of the British Duke is calm, as long as he makes a move, I will naturally not let him go!" ”
It turned out to be this idea.
The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Jiaping with some emotion.
has always regarded him as the child who had just ascended the throne, but after so many years, even the most simple child has been impregnated by power.
He's so unpredictable now.
The Queen Mother calmed down and asked Emperor Jiaping: "Then what do you mean, do you mean to let the third division interrogate Xu Zhaohai, slowly drag it, and drag it until the Xu family can't help but move?" ”
Emperor Jiaping nodded.
His character has always been like this, and if anyone dares to betray him, he will definitely make that life worse than death.
This is the case with the current Xu family.
The Queen Mother nodded, feeling in her heart that it seemed a little too easy to make a fuss about this matter.
Thinking of Zhu Yuan and Chu Tingchuan, who had not moved, his heart moved.
In this matter, maybe there is Zhu Yuan's handwriting?
In the end, she didn't say anything, just asked Emperor Jiaping: "What about Jing'an?" She is not lightly ill, I heard that she has not eaten water and rice for the past two days, presumably because the marriage is gone. ”
Emperor Jiaping's eyes couldn't bear to flash.
Then he said in a deep voice; "How can I tell her about this now? She just thinks about it herself, she is a princess, is it possible that she is afraid that she will not be able to get married? This family business is gone, and I will naturally find a better one for her. ”
But if he really marries the Xu family, then his status will be really embarrassing.
This is still for Jing'an's consideration, but the Queen Mother didn't plan to mention Jing'an.
That girl is too arrogant and selfish, and she should be taught some lessons so that she can know how to be a normal princess in the future.
If not, then take advantage of the fact that this illness is directly gone, and the province will cause more trouble in the future.
