Chapter Eighty-Six: The Collapse of a High-Rise Building
"Maybe, maybe you have changed all the dirty and unacceptable scheming methods in the backyard in the past, so when do you plan to change this mistake of collaborating with the enemy and treason, plotting to kill the royal county lord, and despising the emperor and the queen mother's punishment?" The emperor lowered his eyes and did not look at him, but the words he said made people feel cold, and the emperor's murderous aura spread silently.
Everyone else present bowed their heads deeply, eager to plug their ears and blindfold them, this kind of royal secret has never been passed on, the emperor said it in front of them, tomorrow may be a blink of an eye to erase their existence, the most ruthless emperor family, this kind of brotherly drama, often brings many innocent people.
Yipinxiang is watching a good show lightly, and there is no need to worry about losing his life because he heard some secrets. It's really because these things done to King Qi were originally instructed by the emperor, and they did it single-handedly, as well as the two backers of the queen mother's favorite county lord Jingshu and Ruliang county lord.
When King Qi was asked by the emperor like this, his body immediately trembled like chaff, and he couldn't even stabilize his body, so he could only reply tremblingly: "Brother Huang... No, it's all provoked by these sluts like Yipinxiang, when did the younger brother do these rebellious things, collaborating with the enemy and treason... The younger brother has been grounded in the mansion, how can he be implicated with a barbarian thousands of miles away, the younger brother is really wronged! ”
The emperor couldn't help but roll his eyes angrily, and he didn't care about any majestic etiquette, he stood up and flew up and kicked at King Qi's shoulder, and the strength was so great that King Qi turned over, fell to the ground with all four feet facing the sky, and immediately got up, ignoring the pain around him, and knelt down at the emperor's feet.
"You said that you were wronged, but I just said a sentence of treason against the enemy, and you mentioned the barbarian barbarians, why are you very clear about the barbarians? The borders of the Central Plains are vast, and there are even more large and small tribes like stars, how do you know that I am talking about barbarians, not Mobei, Goryeo and other tribes? The emperor blew his beard and glared, and Concubine Lan had to take a handkerchief and gently stroke the emperor's back in order to calm the anger in his chest a little.
"It's... This..."King Qi's sweat was wet with the collar, and he tilted his head sideways to look at the butler on the side, and his heart was empty.
The housekeeper also didn't want to get involved in things anymore, so he only secretly prayed in his heart that King Qi would be interested and not involve himself, and it would be easy to make a comeback or abandon King Qi and abscond when the time comes. It's just that right now, King Qi has been looking at himself, and the emperor has also noticed that there is such a person in the room, so it is not easy to go, so he has to plop down on the ground and kowtow to the emperor again and again.
"The Emperor... Your Majesty, since the emperor has found out what the prince has done, the prince, the slave advises you to recruit it, after all, it is a big rebellion! ”
King Qi thought that the housekeeper would intercede for him, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing, but it seemed that he was going to confirm his crimes, how could he let the emperor convict him, so he was about to pounce on him, picked up the chair on the ground and threw it, shouting in his mouth: "Eat things inside and outside!" What this king hasn't done is what he hasn't done! You grew up watching this king, who did you take a bite of it! Say! ”
The guards immediately went up to stop King Qi, hugged his waist and dragged his legs, and pressed him to the ground again, the housekeeper was so frightened that he cowered by the wall, and he didn't fight back, just blindly shouted for help, and said a lot of inconsequential words: "The emperor helps, the prince is angry, since the prince has killed all the slaves, the slaves have to tell the truth to save their lives!" ”
The emperor's eyes lit up: "If you tell the truth, I can consider sparing you from death, if there is still no truth, I will let you be punished by Ling Chi!" ”
"The minions say it all! Say it all! The butler crawled over again, as if he was still a little afraid of King Qi, who had collapsed in anger. The emperor made a look, and immediately a guard took a handkerchief on the table and stuffed it into King Qi's mouth, and two more people pressed her shoulders and didn't let go, he couldn't move, and he couldn't speak, he could only stare at the two eyes red like blood because of anger, and stared at the butler viciously.
"The slave was bought into the palace to serve when the prince of Qi was twelve years old, and later he got the king's weight and became the housekeeper of the palace, and later... Later, the prince was resentful because of the emperor's accession to the throne, and because he felt that the queen mother had killed his mother, he held a grudge, so he always wanted to get power, overthrow your rule and establish himself as the king. ”
"In recent years, he secretly sent people to visit, learned some secret history of the palace, some people chased the wind and caught the shadows, saying that the regent's jade seal was not taken away, but hidden in a courtyard with a big willow tree in the capital, but the willow tree is a common tree in the capital, so he sent someone to find out that there are hundreds of courtyards with willow trees, but after the investigation, there is only one willow tree left to meet the requirements, the emperor, it is now this courtyard, and later it was cut down by a pin of incense, and the willow tree was also cut down last year."
"It's just that although the prince learned the whereabouts of the jade seal, he was scrambled for the first place and hid the jade seal in advance, if the emperor wants to investigate, I'm afraid he can only ask the current owner of this courtyard, Boss Mu and the two county lords." When he said this, the housekeeper raised his eyes and looked at the emperor's expression, and secretly looked at the people on Yipinxiang's side, obviously provoking the emperor, making him think that Yipinxiang had secretly hidden the jade seal and did not hand it over.
Mu Ruqing didn't change, he still stood aside, as if it was none of his business, Ruan Mianmian lowered his head and looked at his round nails leisurely, and stared at his fingers in a bored daze.
Why don't they know the purpose of the housekeeper, it is clear that they want to bring disaster to the east, and they can't keep the King of Qi, so let Yipinxiang also be suspicious, so that Yipinxiang and the emperor are not related, and they will definitely die, but the King of Qi has become secondary, and he can save his life, but the housekeeper has calculated everything, and he can't imagine that Yipinxiang is all people who regard the fame and fortune of the powerful as dung, and the jade seal that provokes right and wrong has long been handed over to the emperor, so they are not worried that this will affect their image in the emperor's heart.
The housekeeper really didn't know the reason for this, but the person who was just a pin of incense didn't hear it, so he deliberately repeated it with a throat: "Your Majesty, the regent Yuxi, eighty percent is in the hands of a person who pin incense, please verify!" ”
The emperor's heart is naturally mirror-like, and he has been immersed in the palace for many years, and he is disgusted when he thinks of the housekeeper saying this, and urges: "I believe that Yipinxiang will not hide his secrets, and if there is, it will be handed over to me. ”
The housekeeper lowered his head stupidly, surprised in his heart, but continued to say: "The prince used several schemes to destroy the business of Yipinxiang, and after Yipinxiang couldn't make ends meet and went bankrupt, he unknowingly bought a pinxiang and slowly searched for the jade seal, but the matter has not been successful, and Yipinxiang has two county lords in a row, and it is difficult to see that the power is growing, so he moved other thoughts." ”
"A few years ago, there was a suspicious person who entered the capital and went straight to the palace, asking to see the prince, and told the prince that the leader of the barbarians wanted to cooperate with the prince inside and outside, trying to plot the throne, and when the time came, the prince would be put on the dragon chair, and only need to give him ten cities according to the agreement and open the border passes to trade with each other, the prince agreed, some time ago the prince repeatedly failed, so he found people to re-cooperate with the barbarian leader, and used the barbarian hidden in the army to kill the Fang cannon of a pinxiang, but he escaped by chance, and the fine work was also exposed to death."
Hearing Fang Cannon's name, Ruan Mianmian put down his hand and raised his head, looking at King Qi kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, closed his eyes with disdain, rolled his eyes and lowered his head again. Although Ruan Mianmian hated the King of Qi for secretly calculating the life of the vital cannon, but fortunately it did not succeed, I am afraid that there will be no King of Qi in the world after today, and she is willing to wait patiently for his retribution.
"Butler, according to what you say, King Qi's charges are all established, so what is your identity in these things? Helping the gang to abuse and doing a lot of things for the tiger has been done, right? When the emperor spoke, his tone was cold, he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and secretly used the country's land to make transactions, what a good brother, a good prince!
"The emperor Mingjian, although the old slave was promoted and appreciated by the prince and became a housekeeper, he was a slave who signed a deed of sale bought by the master, and he couldn't say anything about the prince, but he just obeyed the instructions to do things, and many slaves refused to do it, so he wanted to throw me into the snake pit and poison the old slave alive, and the old slave had to obey in order to save his life! And the prince is extremely strict with the servants of the palace, and he is not allowed to go out of the palace for half a step, but the slaves can't find a way even if they have the heart to return. ”
The housekeeper said so earnestly and pitifully, he really looked like an innocent old man who was coerced by the power of the King of Qi, but looking at the clothes he was wearing, although they were not as luxurious as his master, but even the sleeves were embroidered with dark lines, if he was really not welcomed in the palace, how could he wear it so conspicuously, it can be seen that his words are not true, Ruan Mianmian secretly pondered, these things are probably true, but who the person in charge is, it remains to be considered, the housekeeper just took advantage of the fact that the King of Qi could not speak and could not argue, and put the fault on him alone.
Ruan Mianmian only felt relieved of his hatred, in the past, King Qi was like a mad dog biting outside, but now there can be a situation where their master and servant eat dog, it can be seen that there are too many bad things, God will not allow him, and watch their master and servant dig their own graves and mess with themselves.
"Oh, it seems that you were coerced by the King of Qi? Or, take out the things in King Qi's mouth and let him answer me whether these things are true or not. As soon as the emperor raised his hand, some guards immediately took away the handkerchief from King Qi's mouth.
King Qi had been stuffing a handkerchief in his mouth for a long time, and he was still a little uncomfortable when he suddenly took it away and regained his freedom, and his mouth opened and closed it several times before he could make a sound again.
