Emperor Tianhong nodded and motioned for Yao Fucheng to continue.

"Your Majesty, there are many suspicious points in this assassination turmoil, and the envoys entered Beijing to celebrate their birthdays with guards, and they wanted to assassinate His Highness, but they didn't send the guards, and sent ten nests; Moreover, it is unreasonable for them to assassinate and not find the way beforehand, so that they have run into a dead end when they flee and have to be captured. ”

"Go on."

"This turmoil seems to be unpremeditated, but it is actually an illusion, and the minister boldly concluded that these assassins had no intention of escaping at all, they were waiting to be caught, waiting for the yamen to ask them to find out that they were Wuzhu people!"

Some ministers disagreed: "Joke, they assassinate the prince, and being caught is a dead end, who will have a hard time with their own lives?" ”

"There is no shortage of people in the world who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and the 'righteousness' in the hearts of the assassins is actually for profit, which can also be said to be for the country." Fu Cheng arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the assassination of His Highness was actually another subject country, and they assassinated His Highness with the intention of blaming the Wuzhu Kingdom. ”

Wei Guogong turned around and asked, "Didn't Yao Fucheng just say that he knew who sent the assassin?" ”

"Of course the minister knows, but this case is not presided over by the Shangjing Prefecture Bureau, and the minister has no right to summon other envoys on the grounds of trying the case, so there is no confession that can cover the coffin."

"There's no confession, isn't it just speculation?" An official glanced at him and sneered, "Yao Fucheng, you have evidence here, but it turned out to be a guess out of thin air, you are afraid that you have wronged the Wuzhu country, so guess, are you not afraid of wronging other subject countries?" ”

"Then please ask Your Majesty and Xiangye to summon the envoys of this country to come and confront each other in front of the court." Yao Fucheng presented a book.

After Emperor Tianhong looked at it, he passed the excerpt to Gu Chuyu.

Gu Chuyu glanced at it, ordered the Ministry of Rites to do it, and asked the Criminal Department to bring the Wuzhu envoy with him.

Half an hour later, the envoys of both countries stood in the main hall, one had just come out of prison, looking a little embarrassed; One was also wearing the fur costume of the Northern Desert, strong and fierce.

The ministers had seen the envoys of the various countries at the night banquet of the Birthday Festival, and they recognized the envoys of the Kora kingdom.

Both are located in the Northern Desert and are both subject countries of Daning, but Wuzhu and Qiluo are very different. One is weak, the other is strong, if it weren't for Daning's protection, Wuzhu would have been swallowed by Qiluo a long time ago.

The two envoys saluted together, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

"No." Emperor Tianhong raised his hand and asked Yao Fucheng to continue.

Yao Fucheng took a few steps forward, stood in front of the Wuzhu envoy and asked, "You said that Daning favors one over the other, and the rewards given to you are not as many as those of other countries, is there any evidence?" ”

The envoy of Wuzhu still looked indignant when he mentioned this, "I heard that they took more gold, silver and silk than our Wuzhu, and there are dozens of more boxes. ”

Yao Fucheng turned to ask the Ministry of Rites Shangshu: "Lord Shangshu, is there really such a thing?" ”

The Ministry of Rites snorted indifferently: "It's ridiculous, Daning has always treated his subjects equally, and he has given the same rewards, gold, silver, jewelry, silk, tea, and porcelain, and there is no distinction between who has more and who has less. He glanced at the envoy and asked, "Who are you listening to chew on the root of your tongue?" ”

The envoy pointed to his side, "It's their Chela country." ”

The envoy of Qiluo immediately became anxious, "You are talking nonsense in front of Your Majesty, I will say such words to sow discord?" ”

"You said that our Wuzhu place is small and there are few people, and it is the least valued by His Majesty Daning, and you also said that you have received a double reward than us, so I went to find Lord Shangshu to theorize." The envoy of Wuzhu looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites again, and said coldly, "When the minister went, Lord Shangshu really didn't treat the minister very well, how could the minister not believe the words of the Qiluo Kingdom, since Daning looked down on Wuzhu, what was the minister doing here with a cheeky face?" But who knew that as soon as the minister left, Daning slandered the minister and assassinated the prince of Daning! ”

The Qiluo envoy hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, Qiluo has already bowed down to Daning, and will never provoke the relationship between Daning and Wuzhu, Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense." ”

"Chiro is doing this, it's not as simple as stirring up a relationship." Yao Fucheng shook his head and sighed, and arched his hand towards the palace, "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Qiluo Kingdom provoked discord, intending to force away the envoys of the Wuzhu Kingdom, and then he sent someone to assassinate His Royal Highness King Yu to blame the Wuzhu Kingdom, he wanted to borrow Daning's hand to get rid of the Wuzhu Kingdom, and Daning and Wuzhu are separated by Qiluo, Baiyue and other countries, which is inconvenient to govern, and His Majesty and the Prime Minister will definitely send Wuzhu to the Qiluo Kingdom." ”

The Qiluo envoy was shocked, pointed at Yao Fucheng and said, "My lord, don't slander us with empty words!" ”

The envoy of Wuzhu widened his eyes in shock, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said to Emperor Tianhong: "Your Majesty, this lord is really a person who wakes up from his dreams, and the assassination of His Royal Highness the prince is simply a conspiracy of the Qiluo Kingdom!" ”

"Nonsense, I heard that it was ten nests that assassinated His Royal Highness the Prince, and our warriors in Qiluo are all first-class good hands, where are the nests?"

Yao Fucheng said: "Because of this, what you sent was not your Qiluo warriors, but ten minions with brute force. ”

"Can a slave do things, if the minister really wants to assassinate His Highness, he should send a warrior!" The Celebrium retorted.

"You Chela have a custom, the more brave the man, the more silver chuan on his arm, because he is in the desert, he is exposed to the sun every day, and even if he picks it, there will be traces, so you don't dare to send any warriors who are ten warriors, because once they are captured, they will immediately be exposed as Cheros!" Yao Fucheng bowed to Emperor Tianhong again, "Your Majesty, this is the reason why assassins don't know the slightest martial arts. ”

The Qiluo envoy angrily pointed at Yao Fucheng, "Your Majesty, it's not like this, he's slandering!" ”

The criminal department Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Yao Fucheng's words, in this way, everything makes sense, Qiluo first fanned the flames, let Wuzhu question Daning's mistreatment of them, and forced Wuzhu to make the minister angry and leave Beijing, and then they sent assassins to assassinate His Highness, and framed Wuzhu Guo!" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu answered: "Your Majesty, what Yao Fucheng said is right, as far as the minister knows, only the men of the Qiluo Kingdom in the Northern Desert Kingdom have the custom of wearing silver chuan on their arms. ”

Wei Guogong said: "This is just your speculation, several Shangshu lords, Qiluo and Wuzhu are both Daning vassal states, who you want to clear up your grievances for, and who you want to bring to justice, you must have evidence." ”

The envoy of the Celestial became the target of the public, and his expression had already become panicked, so when he heard this, he straightened his waist and asked, "Yes, do you have any evidence?" ”

The criminal department Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, the minister has not found out the origin of the assassin for the time being, because there are more than a dozen subject countries in the Northern Desert, and it takes a lot of time for the minister to test one by one, but fortunately, Yao Fucheng has done the minister a great favor, and the minister will interrogate the prisoners when he goes back, and it is easy to verify whether they are Qiluo people!" ”
