Chapter 302: The palace provokes verbal provocation
Hua Zhen's heart jumped violently when she heard this, and she clearly heard the non-rejectable tone in Emperor Yan Wen's words, and her mind turned sharply.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhengze on the side said with a smile: "After all, the county lord of Qinghe is a daughter's family, and the emperor mentioned the marriage of the county lord in front of him like this, but I am afraid that the county lord is shy and doesn't know how to respond." β
said and reminded Hua Zhen: "County Lord, the emperor should hurry up to thank him for his marriage." β
Hearing this, Hua Zhen glanced at Xiao Zhengzheng and bit her lip tightly, obviously disgusted in her heart, but she knew that she had no way to refuse at the moment.
had to respond respectfully: "Zhen'er thanked the emperor." β
It is not difficult to destroy this family business, and at the moment, Emperor Yan Wen's face, Hua Zhen knows that if she refuses, she will give Emperor Yan Wen a chance to do it to herself.
Seeing that Hua Zhen was so smart, Emperor Yan Wen immediately laughed: "Okay, you go back, I will let Ge Yan send you back, remember that no one is missing." β
"Yes. Hearing the coldness in Emperor Yan Wen's words, Hua Zhen blessed her body, and then withdrew.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhengze also got up and retired.
Suddenly only Shen Chongmao and Emperor Yan Wen were left in the Lin De Palace, looking at Shen Chongmao who was still kneeling on the ground, Emperor Yan Wen said coldly: "Get up." β
Shen Chongmao got up tremblingly, although this was a play for Hua Zhen to watch, but it was also true that Shen Chongmao concealed the dead soldiers, even if Emperor Yan Wen did not blame, he was always a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Seeing this, Shen Chongmao said very cautiously: "Your Majesty, the ministers have only learned that in addition to those who seem to be, the Xingchen Pavilion left by the queen's mother, there are also Guangji Hall, Tianxiang Building and Zhenwei Dart Bureau on Nanmen Street. These people have always had contacts with Hua Zhen and the Ning family, and they are where Hua Zhen and the Ning family secretly contact officials, so the emperor doesn't want to send people..."
Shen Chongmao deliberately didn't finish his words, and when he saw Emperor Yan Wen, his face suddenly changed: "Are they liaising with officials in the DPRK and China?"
"Yes, the minister also only learned about it, and Wang Mingquan, the political envoy of the two Huaiyan who disappeared at the beginning, seems to be related to the county lord. The minister found out that the county lord was secretly sending people to find Wang Mingquan's whereabouts, and it seemed that this matter was related to Concubine Yun. The county lord felt that Concubine Yun was very much like her original maid Ruoyun, so he kept sending people to check the details of Concubine Yun, and even Wang Mingquan never let go. Wang's family said that a few people who were dressed very strangely had been to Wang's mansion, and after these people appeared, Wang Mingquan disappeared and was never seen again.
The minister heard that these people were the dead nightingale and vulture of the Star Pavilion, and they were ordered by Hua Zhen to investigate Wang Mingquan. Shen Chongmao said very cautiously looking at Emperor Yan Wen's face.
Seeing that the coldness in Emperor Yanwen's eyes was even worse, he said softly: "The minister also heard that Princess Minmin was not assassinated at the beginning, but went to Beijing early in the morning to hide in the county lord's mansion. Among them, the Duke of Wei and the crown prince have also been to the county lord's mansion several times, and they have all met Princess Allergy Min, but no one said anything. The minister was worried that they were not only colluding with the officials of the court, but the minister was worried that they were colluding with Fanbang, Princess Minmin was suitable for the favorite daughter of the king of Tubo, hiding in the county lord's mansion, and the prince and the Duke of Wei came to the door three times and five times. Your Majesty, this has to be thought about by the ministers. β
Shen Chongmao then made a big fuss about Minmin being saved by Hua Zhen.
He knew that Emperor Yan Wen was already suspicious of Hua Zhen now, and he would believe whatever he said now.
In addition, now that Emperor Yan Wen has held these most dangerous dead soldiers in his hands, he has no scruples about Hua Zhen.
Originally, it was said that Emperor Yan Wen did not make a move, and he was a little worried that if he made a rash move, the Ning family and Hua Zhen would jump over the wall in a hurry and directly rebel.
He is still clear about the strength of those dead soldiers, plus the secrets about civil and military officials in their hands, if they are really urgent, I am afraid that it is not a good thing.
That's why he sang such a play, and now that this problem has been solved, Emperor Yan Wen no longer has so many scruples about the Ning family and Hua Zhen.
At this time, he sent an excuse that Emperor Yan Wen was enough to kill Hua Zhen, presumably Emperor Yan Wen would not miss it.
Thinking in his heart, Shen Chongmao's eyes revealed a trace of coldness, for this Hua Zhen who was not under his control, he had already had murderous intentions, not to mention that Hua Zhen almost killed him at the beginning.
Shen Chongmao had already hated it to the core, and he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Emperor Yan Wen listened to Shen Chongmao's words, the expression in his eyes changed for a long time, and his eyes were even more cold when he looked at Shen Chongmao.
"What you say is true?"
"Every sentence is true, even if the minister has the courage, he will never dare to deceive the emperor again. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can recruit Jin Wuwei from the county lord's mansion to ask, although Liu Zheng, the deputy general of Jin Wuwei who is guarding the county lord's mansion, has betrayed the emperor, but those soldiers are loyal, just because Liu Zheng is pressed above, they can't meet the emperor and tell these truths. Shen Chongmao said, his eyes were very firm.
Seeing this, Emperor Yanwen's expression changed and ordered Gonggong Cao.
"Let people go to the county lord's mansion and summon Jin Wuwei into the palace, I have to ask carefully. As he spoke, his face turned pale.
Hearing this, Gonggong Cao's heart jumped, and he looked at Shen Chongmao who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but sweat for Hua Zhen.
And at this moment, Hua Zhen didn't know that Shen Chongmao was saying this behind his back, and just walked towards the outside of the palace.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the door of Chongwen, he was called by someone.
"The county lord stays. β
Listening to Xiao Zhengze's voice sounding behind her, Hua Zhen felt a coldness rise in her heart for no reason, and only felt that this Xiao Zhengze was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, which made people afraid.
Although extremely reluctant in her heart, Hua Zhen still stopped, but Xiao Zhengze stepped forward with a smile when he saw this: "Isn't the county lord of Qinghe going to thank me?"
Hearing this, a trace of coldness flashed in Hua Zhen's eyes, but the expression on her face remained unchanged: "Please forgive Hua Zhen for being stupid, I really don't know what Xiao Ergongzi means by this." β
"Today's matter, you should thank me, if it weren't for my persuasion, do you think you can get out like this?" said and leaned closer, and said in a very soft voice: "You should be more thankful because I showed mercy to your subordinates, otherwise you should be in danger of your life now." β
After speaking, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a hint of evil smile in his eyes, which made people feel chills in their hearts.
Faced with Xiao Zhengze's situation, Hua Zhen really couldn't cry or laugh: "Xiao Ergongzi thinks I should be grateful to Dade for this matter?"
"Shouldn't it?"
"Thank you Xiao Ergongzi for designing such a big show, and you didn't hesitate to let your subordinates risk their lives to pull me into the water, or do you want to thank Xiao Ergongzi for stabbing me in the back first, and then said with a smile on his face that you saved me?"
Xiao Zhengze laughed violently, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous: "If I hadn't shown mercy to your subordinates today, you think you would really be so relaxed, and you think the emperor would really let you go because he was afraid of those dead soldiers, Hua Zhen, are you naΓ―ve or stupid." β
