233 Death of Qiu Shi
After the courtiers bowed three times and bowed nine times to the emperor, they quickly cut to the chase.
Qiu Shi, that's the point.
Many ministers stood up with righteousness and awe-inspiring attitudes, wanting to share the emperor's worries and interrogate Qiu Shi. But this time, the emperor did not answer anyone, because he wanted to judge Qiu Shi in person on this hall.
"I have received the good intentions of all Aiqing. But today, I'm going to interrogate this madman myself. β
After listening to the emperor's words, the ministers exchanged glances with each other and quieted down.
The emperor ordered people to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to bring Qiu Shi to come, and on this side, He Xuan was announced into the main hall.
"If I hadn't been loyal to Zuo Junzhong and others to protect me this time, I'm afraid that my life would have been hanging by a thread long ago......" The emperor opened his mouth, and then looked at the reactions of the ministers below.
If it is in normal times, the emperor starts like this, which also indicates that the person just mentioned will be rewarded, and after receiving such a prompt, there will definitely be ministers who will come out to add icing on the cake.
But today, the hall was unusually quiet, and no one echoed the emperor's words.
At this time, Zuo Junzhong walked out of the ranks, knelt on the temple, and said long live, and then kowtowed to ask for sin. With him, Zuo Liang also walked out, and then He Xuan also knelt at the door.
"This trip, due to Weichen's negligence, almost damaged the dragon's body. Although there was no danger, it also frightened the emperor. The old minister pleaded guilty to the emperor. β
Zuo Junzhong said as he kowtowed to the emperor again.
Zuo Liang also confessed his guilt and kowtowed, but He Xuan didn't say anything, and put his head on the ground.
"Why did Aiqing say this, if it weren't for Aiqing and the others, how could I get out of the way?"
Zuo Junzhong and the others didn't speak, but saw another minister come out.
"Your Majesty, the lower officials have a book to play."
The emperor saw that it was the Imperial Historian Ji Garden. He nodded, and it was finally time to begin.
After receiving the emperor's consent, Ji Yuan opened his mouth and said: "The minister has the power to impeach Prime Minister Zuo Junzhong, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, He Xuan. β
He Xuan lowered his head and didn't listen to the next words. No matter what the other party is good for, it doesn't matter to him anyway. As for the left minister, He Mao Sai is not worried about Children's Day. He is a civil servant, even if the emperor is injured, he does not have much responsibility with him, at most, he just uses himself unfavorably.
After arguing for a long time, many courtiers were seconding Ji Yuan's recital, and Yun Zhen stood in place without saying a word. He peeked at He Xuan, and saw that He Xuan was isolated from the world and looked like he didn't care about anything.
It seems that she is really out of the way.
At this time, I suddenly heard the emperor say: "Prince Xian, what do you think? β
Hearing the emperor's roll call, Yun Zhen raised his head slightly, smiled slightly and said, "Reasoning, He Xuan deserves to be punished." But in terms of love, after all, she also did her best to protect the emperor. As for whether she had anything with Qiu Shi in private, I am afraid that this matter will only be clear if you have to ask the person concerned. As for Zuo Xiangye. I think Master Ji's words are a bit biased. Although He Xuan and Qiu Shi are both his protΓ©gΓ©s, there are not thousands, but hundreds of protΓ©gΓ©s in each scientific examination, even if Zuo Xiangye is wise, he can't take care of so many people. β
The emperor nodded and said, "Well, Prince Xian's words are reasonable. Can Qiu Shi bring it? β
Outside the hall, there was a voice that Qiu Shi had already brought, and the emperor ordered that Qiu Shi be escorted to the main hall.
Qiu Shi was pushed by the officers and soldiers, knelt on the ground, looked at the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the emperor sitting in the hall, Qiu Shi felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat now. He searched with his eyes, looking for the person he still thought he could save himself. Just when his eyes were about to find Yun Zhen, he suddenly received a heavy blow to the head.
"Keep your head down."
The officers and soldiers standing behind Qiu Shi secretly scolded in their hearts: This is the court, do you think you are visiting the vegetable market? Still looking around! You're sure you're dead, and we want to be alive.
"Whoever His Highness kneels in, report it by name." Tomami said.
"Prisoner...... Hill...... Hill...... Qiu Shi. β
As soon as this sentence came out, Qiu Shi suddenly felt a faint pain in his heart, these days, this situation often happens, he didn't think so, after all, the dungeon is not a place for people, so there are some minor illnesses and pains, and no one will pay attention to them. But now, the pain was as tight as a burst, and it actually made Qiu Shi a little unable to breathe.
"Qiu Shi, are you guilty?" This time, the person who asked the question was the emperor.
"Prisoner...... Know...... Know...... Guilty ......"
Qiu Shi felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, but he still persisted, and he comforted himself that this was just an illusion caused by fear.
"I think you are a small seven-grade official, you must be instructed by someone, and the person who instructed you will be named, and I can also reward you with a whole corpse ......"
"Back to ...... The emperor's words ......"
Before Qiu Shi could answer this question, Yu Shi, who had just spoken, suddenly interjected and asked, "The person who instructed you, but He Xuan?" β
This question was asked unexpectedly, but anyone with a brain should know that this answer is definitely no.
"No...... It's not ......"
"Have you had any contact in private?"
"Yes...... He once came to meet me in disguise, and he gave me a letter......"
"Where is the faith?"
"I couldn't find it afterwards."
When Ji Yushi asked this, he no longer asked Qiu Shi, but hugged his fist at Shang and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, He Xuan once had a private meeting with Qiu Shi and exchanged letters, asking the emperor to forgive the ministers for the crime of recklessness, but He Xuan's move cannot but make people have a lot of imagination. Saying that, Ji Yushi turned his face, looked at He Xuan, and said, "What do you say?" Lord He. β
He Xuan glanced at Ji Yushi with a normal face and smiled faintly.
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair was angry in his heart, and scolded in his heart: "Ji Yuan, you bastard, I am the one who asked He Xuan to go to see Qiu Shi, will I still let He Xuan persuade Qiu Shi to assassinate himself?" β
"Why is Lord He laughing?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Lord Ji wants to add to my guilt, how can he be speechless?" He Xuan said.
"You ......"
Ji Yuan was about to say something at this time, when he suddenly heard a "bang" behind him.
Qiu Shi's head fell heavily on the ground, and he tightly protected his heart with his hand, as if it was in pain.
This sudden situation surprised everyone in the main hall, and even the emperor stood up from the dragon chair.
"Fuhai, go take a look."
"Yes."
The rich duke received the emperor's will, hurriedly walked down, squatted down, and looked at Qiu Shi.
"Father-in-law...... Save me...... I ......" Qiu Shi tried his best and said such a sentence.
"Your Majesty, looking at him, it seems that his heart hurts." Tomami said.
"Quickly pass on to the imperial doctor, I still have a lot to ask him, and I can't let him die."
"Yes." Fu Hai hurriedly stood up, walked quickly to the door, and preached loudly, "Pass the imperial doctor." β
Distressed? He Xuan frowned, Qiu Shi's physical state was still relatively clear, even if it was a year's indulgence, or something else, it was unlikely that a person's heart would be damaged so quickly. The original Qiu Shi has no such problem.
Could it be ......
He Xuan secretly raised his eyes and looked at Yun Zhen, who had been standing in place and had not moved, although he was also looking at Qiu Shi, but the indifference and calmness in his eyes were completely different from others.
He Xuan smiled bitterly, what's so strange about this, if Qiu Shi's parents confirmed that he sent someone to kill him, then what's the problem with letting Qiu Shi keep his mouth shut.
While He Xuan was still thinking, several imperial doctors had already trotted all the way to the door of the main hall.
The imperial doctor was about to give a salute to the emperor, but he heard the emperor say, "Come and see him." β
The imperial doctors nodded yes, and then surrounded Qiu Shi in the middle, Fu Hai looked at them inch by inch, there was no need for the emperor to order, this was also what he had to do.
I saw that some of the imperial doctors applied needles, and some put pills into Qiu Shi's mouth...... After a busy time, several imperial doctors stared at each other with big eyes, and they all showed a look of fear.
"My lords, this ...... How's it going? Fuhai saw that this situation was not quite right, and hurriedly walked over and asked.
"The ......"
"How's it going?" At this time, the emperor stood up and asked.
"Back to the emperor," several imperial doctors knelt in a row, their bodies trembled, but the words still had to be spoken, and the one who was the leader opened his mouth with difficulty, "Your Majesty, this ...... Already...... It's back to heaven. β
"What? He's dead? β
After speaking, the emperor sat down heavily, and the hand that had just been let go was now tightly clenched into a fist.
There is no proof of death!
"How did you die?" The emperor asked, "When I first went to the palace, I was still a good person, how could I suddenly die violently?" β
"Go back to the emperor. Wei Chen has just given this person a pulse, and this person's heart meridian is seriously damaged, and he definitely can't withstand a little fright and nervousness. As soon as you are stimulated like this, you will have a seizure immediately. β
"Heart Sutra is damaged!" The emperor nodded, "A good Heart Sutra is damaged, don't be frightened." So, he was scared to death by himself? β
"That's how it should be."
"Drag it off." The emperor ordered.
"The emperor is slow. Just let Qiu Shi go, I'm afraid that in the future, there will be people who dare to risk the world's disobedience and disrespect the emperor. Ji Yushi said.
"And what do you think should be done?"
"The lower officials are not familiar with the criminal law, so they dare not say much."
"Then find someone who understands to deal with it. Drag it out. The emperor waved his hand and asked people to drag Qiu Shi's body out. Watching Qiu Shi "pass" by his side, He Xuan felt a chill in his heart, such a person was gone in front of his eyes. It seems that what I once thought was too simple.
From this, He Xuan thought of Liao Yong, thinking about it, he must have already known that this would be the case, so he persuaded himself to leave several times. is such a danger, he is also helping himself all the time, and he is willful.
In Fanfan, no matter whether Madame has ever entrusted me, just with your affection for me, even if I die on the spot like Qiu Shi, I will definitely protect you from the slightest injury.
