Chapter 137: Assassin

There were countless lives in the house, and even the case was not filed, Emperor Wei Wendi felt that Zhao Xu was wronged, and he really didn't know where this unconditional trust came from.

Glancing at Yin Gezhi, Zhao Xu's expression was a little strange, looking awe-inspiring and respectful, but he subconsciously leaned half a step towards the emperor's side.

Emperor Wei Wendi noticed it and sighed lightly: "The filial prince is reckless, and he can't help but let Lian Heng's unreasonable collision with Aiqing, he won't be in the future, Aiqing is more considerate." ”

This tone is like a child who went to a friend's house to get into trouble, and the elders came to apologize. Only then did Yin Gezhi discover that the relationship between the emperor and this Zhao Xu was really close.

Looking back at Prince Xiao, who was silent and had a cold expression, Zhao Xu felt that the emperor's words were not convincing at all. But in the end, it is the emperor, and he can't be pampered and arrogant, since the responsibility has not been investigated, it is better to accept it when he sees it.

It's just that Prince Xiao stabbed him, he wrote it down.

"Where is Your Majesty, the prince is also kind-hearted, and he thinks that there is something wrong with the corpse in Weichen's backyard." Respectfully arching his hand towards the emperor, Zhao Xu said with an aggrieved face: "It's just that the ones buried in the backyard of Weichen are all concubines who died of illness, fatherless and motherless, and it is pitiful to throw them out and bury them. ”

The emperor suddenly said: "So that's the case, Aiqing is really kind-hearted." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Yin Gezhi again: "Understand?" ”

"I don't understand." Without raising his eyelids, Yin Ge stood with his hands in his hands, and his tone was cold: "Erchen doesn't know what kind of disease those concubines have, so they are covered in scars and incomplete bones. ”

Emperor Wei Wendi was furious: "Why are you so ignorant!" ”

Zhao Xu hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, the prince doesn't understand the original situation, and he thinks it's strange." Some of those concubines were insane, and they fell and were covered in scars, and some jumped from the stairs, and their bones were incomplete, which was also natural. ”

"Listen, isn't it clear enough!" Emperor Wei Wen reprimanded.

Yin Ge curled his lips, finally raised his eyes to look at his father, and asked softly, "Did you know about this early on?" ”

Slightly stunned, Emperor Wei Wendi frowned: "I don't know." ”

"Then why does the dignified monarch, instead of upholding justice, unconditionally stand on the side of the defendant and rebuke those who raise objections?" With the lake in his eyes, there is a sparkling lake that wants to splash, but it is pressed in the lakeshore, with some early autumn coolness: "Lord Zhao has been an official for more than ten years, and he loves calligraphy and painting with his father, and his father loves to be close to him, which is understandable." But to put too much trust in yourself is to put yourself at risk. ”

Zhao Xu's face was finally difficult to look at, and he knelt down towards the emperor as soon as he lifted his robe: "The loyalty of the ministers can be learned from heaven and earth!" ”

Stretching out his hand to help him up, Emperor Wei Wen pursed his lips, thinking that the eldest prince was also thinking about himself, his tone was a little better, and he said with a little reproach: "There is no doubt about employing people, you still don't understand this truth?" ”

Yin Gezhi lowered his eyes: "Father, do you still remember Emperor Song Hui of the previous dynasty?" ”

Emperor Song Hui loves equestrianism and favors Lei Yi, a military general who is good at equestrianism, but Lei Yi has been lurking for ten years, but in order to kill the monarch and restore the old country, he finally used a crazy horse to send Emperor Song Hui to a dead end.

As soon as this story was mentioned, Zhao Xu's legs were weak, and he choked up: "What is the grudge between Weichen and the prince, why does the prince want to slander Weichen so much!" ”

Yin Gezhi said lightly: "This king has no enmity or grudge with adults, so he says fair things, does just things, and reminds the monarch to be careful." ”

Emperor Wei Wendi was silent, and said with a smile: "Okay, just a reminder, how can Aiqing and Lei Yi be the same?" I trust Aiqing very much, and I believe that Aiqing will definitely not harm my heart. ”

"Your Majesty!" Moved to kneel down and kowtow, Zhao Xu was in tears, but when he turned his face, his gaze was obviously hostile.

Yin Gezhi turned a blind eye, just looking at Emperor Wei Wendi's attitude, he finally understood why Fengyue insisted on going his own way, and why he felt that his idea would not come true.

The world knows what kind of person his father is, but he doesn't know.

The hand in his sleeve was clenched tightly, Yin Ge lowered his eyes, and continued to follow them to the backyard.

When the emperor came, the house slaves in the house were very busy, and the newly appointed housekeeper picked a few sensible slaves, carried them in the miscellaneous courtyard and ordered: "Your Majesty comes to us, has always been to fight against the adults to chant poetry, write and paint, you all have to be careful, pen, ink, paper and inkstone must use the sets of adults treasured, who dares to break things, then wait to lose your head!" ”

"Yes!" A few house slaves should be dismounted.

The old housekeeper next to him looked at it and frowned: "These people have only been in the mansion for half a year, right?" ”

The new housekeeper is the son of the old housekeeper, and when he heard this, he pouted and said: "The previous people were not young, and they didn't have much strength in their hands, these people have been in the house for half a year, and their hands and feet are neat, and they are never lazy in their work, so I can rest assured with them." ”

The old housekeeper wanted to object, but thinking that what his son said was reasonable, he didn't care.

So these house slaves followed to take the four treasures of the study, walked through the rockery, through the garden, and finally handed them to the inner eunuch.

The emperor and Zhao Xu were talking about the recent work, Yin Gezhi turned his head to look at the flowers in the courtyard with an indifferent face, his eyes wandered around, staring at a certain place on the wall and paused for a moment, and then looked away casually.

When the pen, ink, paper and inkstone came, the emperor was naturally interested, took the brush and let Zhao Xu grind it, pinched the wide sleeves and made it chicly, and he didn't care if the ink was stained all over his hands.

"Your Majesty, the dim sum just made in the house." After a few sticks of incense, Zhao Xu beckoned the emperor to rest, let the chamberlain try the dim sum, and then offered it to Emperor Wei Wen.

There are not so many rules when leaving the palace, and Emperor Wei Wendi is too lazy to take chopsticks, so he just stretches out his hand to eat.

However, as soon as I finished eating one, and before I could get the second one, a cold arrow broke through the air from somewhere!

The guards didn't react, but Yin Gezhi, who was sitting lazily next to him, suddenly rose into the air, grabbed the cold arrow, his robe flew up, and his eyes were suddenly sharp.

"There are assassins!"

The guards around chased half of them out in an instant, and the emperor was shocked and immediately reprimanded: "Catch someone for me!" ”

"Yes!"

People who love power are generally very life-loving, especially Emperor Wei Wen, who immediately turned his head and angrily reprimanded Zhao Xu: "What do the guards in your house do to eat?!" ”

Zhao Xu hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, hundreds of guards have been arranged outside the minister's mansion today, and it is impossible for anyone to approach at all!" ”

"It didn't come in from outside, it was originally in the house." Pinching the cold arrow and looking at it, Yin Gezhi's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly sank his tone: "Father, it's better to go back to the palace in advance." ”

In view of the fact that he pinched the arrow, the emperor nodded, and did not reach out to help Zhao Xu, who was kneeling on the ground, but said, "Aiqing, get up, catch the assassin first." I went back to the palace first. ”

"Wechen...... Greetings to Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Xu was extremely worried and angry, and when he saw that the emperor had left with Yin Ge, he immediately sent someone to chase the assassin.

However, across the courtyard wall, it is not known who the assassin is, and there is not even a single person in the palace who has strange whereabouts, they are all people wearing the clothes of domestic slaves, and nothing else.

Out of the Taiwei Mansion, Yin Gezhi casually handed over the arrow to the chamberlain, feeling a little puzzled.

He knew that Fengyue might attack his father, and he had been guarding against it, but if he really did it, how could even the arrows be non-poisonous? Moreover, he was too nervous before, so he reached out and caught the cold arrow. In fact, even if he didn't answer, according to the direction of the arrow, it might be stuck on the painting table, not the emperor.

What was she thinking?

Emperor Wei Wendi was a little angry when he got into the car, he was really frightened, coupled with the story of Emperor Song Hui and Lei Yi that Yin Gezhi said earlier, he inevitably had some scruples about Zhao Xu in his heart.

People who have been officials for a long time will change, right? Although Zhao Xu is a lieutenant, he has no military power at all, and he didn't even let him exercise the power of the lieutenant, will he also have a grudge?

But when I think about it, how can someone who likes calligraphy and painting as much as he likes to be so bad?

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt abdominal cramps, which I could bear at first, but then it became more and more painful.

"Stop...... Stop the car. ”

The voice was so small that the chamberlain didn't hear it, and Yin Gezhi was in another car, so that the emperor hurt all the way to the palace. The waiter's face turned white with fright when he lifted the curtain: "Your Majesty?!" ”

Yin Gezhi felt that something was wrong, and strode over to look, and found that the emperor's face was pale and he had fainted.

The imperial doctor was in a hurry, the emperor was unconscious on the dragon couch, and the princess and the crown prince also came, and the prince frowned and asked, "Brother Huang, what's the matter?" I went out with you in a good way, why did I get poisoned? ”

Before Yin Gezhi could speak, Nanping came up to stop him and frowned at the prince and said, "It's not the fault of the imperial brother, the tone of the second imperial brother's questioning is too rude!" ”

"Hongu is just asking about the situation."

"Did you ask that?" Nanping snorted coldly, turned to look at Yin Gezhi, and stomped his feet: "Brother Huang, what happened?" ”

Reaching out and touching Nanping's head, Yin Ge stopped: "My father went to the Taiwei Mansion and was assassinated, and I blocked the cold arrow released by the assassin for my father and didn't hurt him, but I don't know why, I was still poisoned." ”

Wide-eyed, Nan Ping said angrily: "How could the place in the Taiwei Mansion be assassinated?" Captain-sama! Don't call into the palace to ask for guilt! ”

"Where is the father willing to ask Lord Taiwei for his sin." Yin Gezhi said lightly: "More than 20 innocent lives have died in the Taiwei Mansion, and my father thinks that I have wronged Lord Zhao." Now that the dragon's body is fine, there is only a small amount of arsenic, how can he ask for guilt. ”

The queen next to her frowned: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty is still unconscious, what do you mean by saying these words?" ”

"Erchen is rude." Yin Ge lowered his head.

Nanping opened his mouth wide in astonishment, his watery eyes blinked, he had something to ask, looked at the people in the hall, and said implicitly: "Then the imperial brother will accompany Nanping to the imperial pharmacy to see the medicine." ”

"Okay." Yin Ge bowed his head, saluted the queen, and withdrew with her.

The crown prince frowned and looked at it, and whispered: "How can the imperial brother seem to have changed as a person." ”
