This king still remembers the scene of the last confrontation between Chen Changfeng and Gao Ji in the court, Gao Ji, who should have been punished, was finally safe and sound, leaving Chen Changfeng, who exposed Gao Ji's shameless behavior, to be a relative in the Zhong Qi Palace.

Last time, what did Wei Tian say to Gao Ji and Gao Ji's father and godfather who insulted Donglizhi?

"Back then, I was seized of the crown prince's throne, fled from the imperial capital, and it was difficult to protect myself without long things, it was Li Jingtang Li who took out 30,000 taels of silver to make a coil for me, and Gao Shu Gao gave me the private house he built in the mountains of Dongyu Mansion. If it weren't for the money and house that the two of them gave me at that time, I am afraid that I would not have been able to survive until the day I returned to the imperial capital, and I would not have been able to meet Xiaozhi. ”

"So this time, although I was angry, I did not cure your sin, because I thought of the embarrassment of the day, and I could not bear to be too harsh on you. I hope you can also understand my hardship, discipline your son well, and don't do anything that makes me sad. ”

Dong Lizhi is the queen he loves deeply and repentantly, this king is his younger brother who has not been very familiar with him since he was a child and has little affection, at the beginning he could have stepped on the face of the deceased girl to pave the way for Gao Li, then now, this king is even more afraid to expect him to be able to do justice for me, and even, he may be angry with the king who returned safe and sound, and then kill me by any means, and no longer have to worry about the future.

Before going to the palace, I asked Zhao Mengqing with a smile: "Lord Zhao thinks that this time, can we kill these two vicious dogs, or will these two vicious dogs bite us to death?" ”

Zhao Meng cleaned up his sleeves and said insightfully: "It all depends on whether the owner of the vicious dog wants to protect it." However, according to the lower officials, it is not enough to bite us to death, but it is a sure thing to bite Lu Shuyuan to death. ”

After saying that, I was about to step up the steps of the temple, but I raised my sleeve to stop him.

Zhao Mengqing looked back at me with a puzzled gaze: "Is there anything else Your Highness has to do?" ”

I glanced around and saw that no one was approaching, so I stared at his eyes, stretched out my lips and smiled slightly, and tested him: "If this king is dead, the soldiers behind this king, will Lord Zhao dare to take over?" ”

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, his pupils contracted a few times, as if he was trying to think about what I meant by this, and it took a while before he said: "This matter, it depends on when His Highness dies, if you die in your seventies and eighties, you can't bring this army to the lower officials; Second, it depends on whether His Royal Highness is sincere to send, if you just want to test the lower official, then the lower official does not want to play with you very much, and the cat will be teased too often, let alone a person. ”

Zhao Mengqing's words are very frank, so that this king can't find fault, but I confirm at least one thing: he is not a completely outstanding person, and military power and the throne are also things he cares about and never puts down, otherwise he would not compare himself to a cat who has been teased.

The two of us entered the temple together.

When Wei Tian saw me, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "King Chong'an will return to the imperial capital now, could it be that the canals and rivers have been repaired properly?" ”

The king bowed down and said, "The repair has not yet been completed, but the subordinates and his soldiers have encountered some dangers and almost lost their lives." ”

Wei Tian pretended to be even more surprised, his eyes widened and asked, "What kind of danger is it?" ”

"For example, the Lingtai River section was besieged and burned by water ghosts lurking at the bottom of the river, and the Luochang River section was followed and assassinated by the buried shadows, and the generals and soldiers of the subordinate army were greatly damaged.

Zhao Mengqing also echoed: "Your Majesty, the minister has been playing south for a few days without incident, and happened to meet His Royal Highness King Chong'an in Luochang City, which can prove that what His Highness said is true. ”

Wei Tian was furious, and knocked the table in front of him with a bang, and his momentum was very strong: "A governor of Luochang dares to murder the prince of my Dajin, and he will be brought to the palace, and I will personally interrogate him." ”

Zhao Mengqing received the order to go to Lu Shuyuan, and the king also observed Gao Shu and Li Jingtang as usual, and the two of them were not as flustered as when Gao Ji was exposed, but one looked at the top of the hall and the other looked at his toes, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

This king really admires the shameless psychological quality of the two of them, just like the stones of the latrine, they expected that you would not dare to kick them for fear of dirt and smell, so they became more and more unscrupulous, and continued to squat in that place disgusting.

Lu Shuyuan is different, he has a great advantage, that is, his brain is not good, this king is most willing to meet this kind of person when he is fighting, you don't have to pay any effort or price, they can often run thousands of miles to send their heads.

Today's Lu Shuyuan did not disappoint the king, he came to the palace, first kowtowed to Wei Tian, and cried and shouted: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the lower officials." His Royal Highness King Chong'an didn't believe that you gave the order to kill him, and took out the jade decree you had engraved for him, and told the lower officials about brotherhood and benevolence, you should tell him bluntly that you hate him, and you can't kill him quickly. ”

Heaven and earth can be learned, from the time this king went to the palace to the present, he has never mentioned that Wei Tian wants to kill me once, saying that Wei Tian hates this king and wants to kill him quickly, the person who is Lu Shuyuan.

As expected, Lu Shuyuan's words made Wei Tian furious, and he casually swept over an incense copper stove and smashed it down on Lu Shuyuan, and said with a red face: "Bastard! In this world, I only have one relative left in King Chong'an, and King Chong'an only has one royal brother, I have supported each other to this day, I feel that he believes in him, gives him the throne, and allows him to serve in the army, and I still feel that I have not done enough, I have ever said that I hate him, and I have never instructed you to harm him, who gave you the courage to slander me? ”

Lu Shuyuan looked stunned, pointed at Li Jingtang and said in a daze: "It was Lord Shangshu who told me that His Majesty had ordered that King Chong'an could not be allowed to leave Luochang City alive, so the lower officials set up the Shadow Killer." ”

Wei Tian asked Li Jingtang: "Li Jingtang, have you ever asked Lu Shuyuan to kill people in the name of me?" ”

Li Jingtang was cunning and cunning, leaned over, and put aside the relationship lightly: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a capital crime, and it should be cut off according to the law, the old minister didn't dare to do it, and he really didn't do it." ”

Lu Shuyuan was so shocked by this sentence that his eyes were about to fall out, he quickly got up and knelt in front of Li Jingtang, dragged his official robe and cried wolf: "Lord Li, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge!" The will is that you arrived at Luochang on behalf of the saint, and the killer was also hired by you for the silver, huh? Now that we're all in the same boat, how can you turn your face and not admit it? ”

Li Jingtang's face did not change and his heart did not beat: "The old minister has never asked for leave these days, and His Majesty can see the old minister every day, so Li has to ask Lord Lu, Li has never left the imperial capital, how can he go to Luochang to convey the so-called holy will to you?" After that, he kicked Lu Shuyuan away, and said angrily, "Such slander, the old minister categorically accepts it!" ”

Lu Shuyuan fell to the ground, his face was full of tears, and he was so aggrieved: "Yes, you didn't go to Luochang, you sent your men down." ”

In fact, at this point, Lu Shuyuan has already lost.

If this king did not guess wrong, Li Jingtang should have sent a person to Lingtai and Luochang to convey the so-called "Holy Message" like Gao Shu. This king has long said that this kind of thing is not so useful after leaving the imperial capital, this is not like black and white words that can be taken out as evidence in the future, this kind of oral expression of things, between breaths, falls into the air, and can no longer be taken out.

Sure enough, Li Jingtang grasped this point and asked, "How did Lord Lu decide that it was Li's subordinate?" Besides, since that person conveyed the order to you, can you take out the order and let your colleagues identify whether it is Li's handwriting? ”

Lu Shuyuan cried and wrinkled his face, and his voice was as broken as a black bird: "Where can I take it out, it's an oracle, a holy oracle, and if you say it, it's gone......"

Li Jingtang raised his eyebrows, then took two steps forward, and bowed to Wei Tian: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that up to now, Lord Lu is all relying on his own nonsense, and he can't show any evidence. He casually slandered the reputation of the old minister, and it was a small matter to tarnish the Holy Qinghui, and asked His Majesty to punish him with capital punishment to set an example. ”

Lu Shuyuan fell to the ground with a bang, delirious, foaming at the mouth.

Gao Shu followed unhurriedly, bowed too, and echoed: "The old minister seconded the proposal, in addition to the reputation of Lord Li and the saint, as well as the encounter of His Royal Highness King Chong'an this time, is to ask His Majesty to punish him with capital punishment, in order to warn me that the officials of Dajin must not act mischiefly, otherwise the heavens will be angry and resentful, and they will not die well." ”

That Lu Shuyuan jumped up again, and came to a desperate cry like a return to the light: "Your Majesty, the minister's wish is tight, these two people are not things, they have harmed me, woo woo woo ......"

Gao Shu, an old man who walked into the coffin on half a leg, had a bad heart, and couldn't stand the stimulation, so he sent someone to drag the jumping and crying guy out.
