I found myself in a way that no one dared to guess.

But I know that Lu Shu would not do such a thing.

Zhao Mengqing, who had been silent in the hall, suddenly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know Gonggong Lu, so he doesn't dare to speculate, but Qin Buxian has been a waiter in my Ministry of Rites for nearly two years. Such a person has no reason or motive to hide the dragon robe privately. ”

Wei Tian narrowed his eyes and nodded: "That's right, there is no one else who wants to exonerate Lu Shu." ”

Although he asked all the people in the hall as he spoke, his eyes kept looking at the king.

In the end, Xu finally found the nervousness and worry he wanted to see on my face, so he accepted the question and gave the answer: "Zhong Aiqing judged well, it was Lu Shu." ”

I jerked my head up.

But he stopped looking at me, and laughed at himself, "This is the person who has served me all the way from my father's side." I trust him with all my heart. But what about it, he actually hid my gown's robe. What does he want to do? Do you want to be emperor yourself one day or the one you want to be emperor one day? In this court, who else has these strange thoughts, you might as well talk about it today. ”

I almost got angry.

This king thinks with his toes, and he can also think of the mentally retarded place of hiding the dragon robe. If Lu Shu wants to be the emperor, he will have time to make clothes in the bare size when he becomes the emperor, so why bother to wear Wei Tian's ill-fitting clothes?

If Lu Shu wants me to be the emperor, it is even more unreasonable for him to hide Wei Tian's dragon robe, he has always been cautious and cautious, Zhao Mengqing asked him about the peach blossom wine, he was worried for fear of affecting the future of Nanguo Mansion, how could he go to steal the dragon robe, leaving such a golden and bright handle?!

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

I couldn't care about anything else, and was about to step forward to defend Lu Shu for a few words, but I heard the voices coincide, and in the next second, Chen Changfeng, the secretary of the military department, had already taken the first step in front of me, leaned down and bowed: "Your Majesty, you just asked who else in this court has these strange thoughts, and the minister remembered something, and if he didn't play the minister, he would not be happy." ”

Wei Tian sat down: "Let's play." ”

Chen Chang took out a book of recitals, passed over his father-in-law who came down to take over the recitals, and handed it to the dragon case in person in front of everyone's eyes.

I heard the sound of the wrench falling, and when I swept away, I found Gao Ji trembling in two ways, looking at the piece with wide eyes, and the expressions on the faces of Gao Shu and Li Jingtang in front of him were also very good-looking.

"Gao Ji, the governor of Nanguo Mansion, I would like to play." Wei Tian took the piece and smiled when he read it, "Why do you have to bother with the piece that Lord Chen handed over to me?" ”

Gao Ji hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this is not written by the minister, someone wanted to blame Weichen, so he imitated Weichen's handwriting, but in fact, it ......"

"Huh?" Wei Tian wondered, "What is the meaning of the word 'blame'?" Do you know what this piece says? Even I don't know what is written in this recital, but if it is written about your great achievements in Nanguo Mansion, this is not a blame, but a compliment. ”

Gao Ji's face was already full of sweat, and Gao Shu beside him secretly kicked him, and Gao Ji didn't dare to say another word.

The hall was terrifyingly quiet, the sound of the recital reading was extremely clear, more than 10,000 words of the recital, Wei Tian looked at it word for half an hour, his expression changed from plain and calm to more and more dignified, I hope he noticed the passage about the woman in Nanguo Mansion, and he really noticed it, his fingers knocked on the dragon case three times, and slowly read out that sentence -

"The women of the southern country are all familiar with calligraphy and painting, all the songs and dances are exquisite, the people of the east love it, and the people of the north yearn for it, and send the women of the southern country to a foreign country to make friends with the generals and princes of the countries, and unite to resist the reckless thieves in the south."

He laughed, his eyes turning from cold to blood-red: "My queen drowned herself because she was going to marry into a foreign country, and less than a month after her death, you came to ask me to agree to marry other women in the Nanguo Mansion to a foreign country, okay, they are all my good courtiers." Some people are disrespectful to my queen, some people covet my dragon robe, and I can sit on the throne, which is really bloody. ”

The ministers all knelt on the ground, shouting that the courtiers should die, long live my emperor.

But Gao Ji didn't know whether he was alive or dead, knelt down and walked over, crying loudly: "Your Majesty, this fold was not written by the minister, the minister was wronged, it was Chen Changfeng who planted slander, the minister never thought of treating the women of Nanguo Mansion like this, I hope Your Majesty will make a clear decision!" ”

Wei Tian sneered again: "In this recital, it is also written that the tax silver you brought back from Nanguo Mansion last time was 3.1 million taels, 54,000 horses of silk, and 260 catties of tea. These figures are all accurate, and the entire court, knowing this exact number, except for you who brought these things back and your father who lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is the Hubu Shangshu who only checked the treasury and silver with me yesterday, and your godfather Li Jingtang. You just said that Chen Changfeng framed you, and aside from the fact that this handwriting is exactly the same as your handwriting, just say that Chen Changfeng is an official in the military department, and he can know before me that the silver in this treasury is not in tain? ”

Gao Shu and Li Jingtang immediately knelt down when they heard the sound.

Chen Changfeng also knelt down and shouted: "My emperor is wise." ”

Wei Tian threw the fold down on Gao Ji's face, and his eyes sank: "Let's talk about it, is it, it's you, your father, or your godfather who instructed you to write this letter?" ”

Now, there is no other way, while Gao Ji was at a loss and didn't know how to argue, Gao Shu shouted long live, and then said bitterly: "This matter has nothing to do with Lord Li, it is the old minister Gao Shu's godson who has no way, and wrote a crime to make my Dajin Queen Yide insulted, and the etiquette is dusty, this evil obstacle is deeply responsible, and it is not a pity to die, I hope Your Majesty will punish the rebel son heavily, and I also hope that Your Majesty will punish the old minister for the crime of no way!" ”

After this paragraph, Gao Shu was already in tears.

Li Jingtang was also moved to tears when he heard this: "Minister Li Jingtang is willing to work with the senior brother to lead the sin of not teaching." ”

But in the end, Wei Tian did not condemn Gao Shu and Li Jingtang, and Gao Ji was only punished for thinking about it in the Prime Minister's Mansion, instead of being immediately dismissed and put in prison.

Chen Changfeng is very concerned, and so is this king.

From ancient times to the present, there are many things where the emperor favors his courtiers and can't bear to surrender to crimes, but it is rare for emperors who insult the former queen and still do not punish them for their crimes.

I'm afraid I'm going to die.

Wei Tian gave a reason for doing this: "Back then, the crown prince was taken away from the throne and fled from the imperial capital, and it was difficult to protect himself without anything long, so it was Li Jingtang and Lord Li who took out 30,000 taels of silver to make a coil for me, and Lord Gao Shu 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. ”

He looked down at Gao Shu and Li Jingtang, and sighed: "So this time, although I was angry, I didn't cure your sin, because I thought of the embarrassment of that day, and I couldn't 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. ”

After saying that, he got up and finally said: "His Royal Highness King Chong'an, follow me to Shengjing Garden for a walk, and everyone else will retreat." ”

On that day, even if he didn't keep me, I was going to look for him.

In the Shengjing Garden in June, the lotus pond is bright, several palace ladies sit in a small boat in the lotus leaves in the field to pick lotus canopies, the sunlight falls through the gauze clothes and the warm light and shadow, everything is similar to the scenery of the Nanguo Mansion, but there is less laughter when those women in the Nanguo Mansion pick lotus.

Wei Tian pinched a handful of fish food from Gong E's hand and stopped on the bluestone bridge by the lotus pond. When the carp in the pond saw the figure, he chased after him, wagged his tail and begged for the fish food he had sprinkled, and refused to leave.

"Guard."

"Brother Huang." I called respectfully.

He didn't look at me, his eyes were still on the group of carp under the bridge, and he asked me while sprinkling fish food: "I heard that you and Lu Shu have a personal relationship?" ”

I felt that the matter had come to this point, and there was no need to dodge, so I said what I thought in my heart: "Brother Huang, just now in the court, the younger brother wants to say that it is a heinous crime to hide the dragon robe privately, Lu Shu, as the palm seal eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, has been in the palace for more than forty years, and he knows the etiquette in the palace better than others, and he is not stupid enough to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot." ”

Wei Tian fished another handful of fish food and said lightly: "So what do you think?" ”

"Brother Chen thinks that someone deliberately framed Lu Shu."

Wei Tian smiled, and sprinkled all the fish food in his hand: "You may not know, Lu Shu, he has borne it himself, he said that he has enough slaves, he wants to be the emperor, he wants to be admired by thousands of people, and he wants to have servants to serve." ”

This surprised me: Lu Shu was stunned?!

Wei Tian saw through my thoughts: "Yes, I also think he is stupid, how could such a person who is so delicate from all sides think of hiding the dragon robe privately." If one day he really gets the title of emperor, it will be too late to make clothes. You just said that someone framed him, but there are only so many people in total, and the minions are all brought up by him, and naturally they are all subordinate to him, can you tell who blamed him? After a pause, he added, "Or, can you tell who he is for, and who would rather confess his guilt than protect that person's integrity?" ”

I don't know who Lu Shu is for...... But if there is such a person who he wants to keep it safe, that person should be Qin Buxian.

Because Lu Shu once told me: "There are some things that I am afraid that Qin Buxian will not understand...... Sometimes if you want someone to do something for you, it's more useful to send affection than to threaten. ”

He knew that Qin Buxian was very important to me, and if he wanted to protect Qin Buxian, he could only take the initiative to bear the responsibility.

Wei Tian looked at me: "Who did you think of?" ”

I shook my head: "My brother doesn't know who he wants to protect. It's not just that Qin Buxian, who is also suspicious in this matter, how Lord Qin justified. ”

He knocked on the bluestone surface of the bridge railing with his fingers, and said with a smile: "I also interrogated Qin Buxian, she only said that she had not hidden the dragon robe privately, whether Lu Shu would do this, she said that she didn't know Lu Shu's personality, so she had no way of knowing." ”
