Chapter 183: Early Dynasty
The solemn sound of the bell resounded throughout the silent palace, waking everything up this morning, accompanied by the sound of clear drums that had not sounded for a long time. 『Δ』Pen Fun』 Pavilion『.『
The rhythmic sound of the drums struck everyone deeply, and they couldn't help but start to guess what was going on in the morning today, and they actually used so many ritual weapons.
Everyone present had different thoughts, but it was difficult for one of them to take the initiative to ask what was going on, they all stood in the empty hall, what was given to them here in the past was depression, today in addition to this depression, there is also a familiar feeling of dead silence, so that they can't be sure whether there is really a big event today.
The courtiers looked around, and among the hundreds of officials, the two prime ministers and Dingbei Hou did not attend, but I am afraid that this time the matter is not as simple as it seems, and some people speculate that the matter is related to the assassination of Prime Minister Shen Cheng, that is, this reason, so that several officials who are close to each other and have a good relationship can't help but whisper, and for a while, the entire dead hall is filled with this kind of stealing discussion.
Emperor Zhaohua changed to the dragon chair in such a whisper, and just sat down, his gaze swept over the hundred officials, and said quietly: "I just heard a whisper, which Aiqing is discussing something, you might as well say it and listen to it for everyone." ”
As soon as these words came out, the little residual voices that still existed disappeared in an instant, and everyone instinctively shrunk their necks, but they didn't want to become the crab in the hands of His Majesty just after the morning court, lest they be unlucky and hurriedly shut their mouths.
But what everyone thought of in their hearts was that Emperor Zhaohua was very calm and low-key in the early dynasty in the past, and why did he suddenly open his mouth today, so that they couldn't be sure what they wanted to say in the early dynasty.
Once again, I felt a gaze slowly sweeping over each of them, and the feeling of being able to see through almost everything made all of them very uncomfortable, and they wanted to shrink their necks again, but suddenly they had nowhere to dodge, and they could only endure the glances of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Since you Aiqing have nothing to say, I just have good news to share with you here, why don't I tell it and let everyone hear it?"
is still the same tone that is not light, but it has already made everyone feel the invisible sense of oppression, and they have not taken the initiative to say more, and no one dares to take the initiative to pull these things out, perhaps they are fundamentally afraid of something.
It's just that at this time, all of a sudden, everyone heard a voice from far and near, and some civil officials didn't seem to be sure what the source of this sound was, but the faces of some civil officials changed slightly, and when they were not noticed by others, their heads lowered, because this voice was clearly the voice that they often heard as military attachés.
Since ancient times, the footsteps of people wearing armor and weapons are much heavier than ordinary people, and it is precisely because of this that they are more certain that what may happen next will be unpredictable, and they are a little unsure of what happened for a while.
Because how many things have happened in this place cannot be described in simple words.
Some people have excellent hearing, and vaguely heard the sound of some metal hitting the ground from it, and at this moment there is already a rough guess in their hearts, but I am afraid that His Majesty is going to talk about this matter today and the assassination of the court officials has a great relationship, and there is nothing to do in the capital in the near future, but the biggest one is the case of Shen Chengxiang's assassination a few days ago, I heard that it was very big at that time, and even the Dali Temple, which has always been responsible for the royal case, was also involved.
Could it be that in just five days, there has been real progress on the murderer?
Although everyone knows that the murderer has been caught on the second day of the case, everyone knows that the mastermind behind the scenes hidden in it has not shown any initiative to show up at all, who is this person, and whether it is the selfishness of a certain official hidden among the hundred officials, these things are very likely, and no one can be sure what is going on now.
After the incident was born, it was not that no one went to inquire about the news, but all of this was stopped by the Criminal Department, and there was an order from His Majesty that no news about this case should be leaked to other officials, in order to prevent some additional things, but no one knew exactly this, and naturally they didn't know what was going on with these things, and there were not too many things that could be completely revealed on this point.
That is, because these things have not been thoroughly revealed, it has caused a lot of unnecessary trouble, and it can be regarded as a relatively big trouble that can be found at this moment.
Sure enough, as some people guessed, as the sound of the chain hitting became louder and louder, it was natural to see two Janissaries covered in armor, dragging a person with chains wrapped around his hands and feet, that person couldn't see the appearance clearly, the prison uniform on his body was obviously very different from the body shape, and he could vaguely see all kinds of scars left on his body from the gaps in the wide clothes, and the time left was not very long as he could be judged from the color.
This person can't see his face clearly because of the long drape of the steamed bun, but the officials present still hope to see the true face of this person, after all, they also know that this person should be the murderer who assassinated Prime Minister Shen in the first place, and now they are treated like this without a trace of touch in their hearts, because this murderer has caused them to be unlucky, and naturally all the resentment in their hearts is vented on him.
Even if you can find a better way, you may not be able to decide something easily.
Some officials unconsciously flashed a cold gaze in their eyes, and they didn't say anything more, 6 Nancheng naturally saw this murderer for the first time, and a trace of strange emotion crossed his eyes, and said, "You are the murderer who assassinated Shen Ting?"
The news from the Criminal Department is really enough to give Emperor Zhaohua a headache, don't look at how pitiful this murderer is now, but in order to know more things from his mouth, the Criminal Department spent a lot of money, but still can't get too much useful information from the murderer's mouth, even the news about the assassination of Shen Ting was barely learned from his mouth after experiencing a lot of torture.
As for how much they can gain from these things, even the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple don't advocate much, because this killer doesn't care about his life or death at all, as long as he can completely let them get no news at this point, it is enough, as for who he is trying to defend, it is impossible for them to know the true face of this person.
The two guards threw the murderer on the ground, and the murderer lying on the ground was suddenly told to be interrogated in the palace today because he had just undergone a great punishment, and he only had time to hurriedly change into a prison uniform that was different from his body, put on a chain and was sent to the palace.
The prison uniform made of coarse cloth kept rubbing the wound, giving the murderer an extremely real feeling, any small movement may cause the body to tremble, not because of fear, but because the inhuman torture has made the murderer completely lose the ability to think rationally, and now at this time, he can only feel everything in the outside world in a daze, and the reaction of the body itself is much more hesitant than ordinary people.
Because the movements of the Praetorian Guards were not considered gentle, and it didn't take much effort, and the clean prison uniform on the murderer's body had already been dyed a little red again.
6 Nancheng didn't speak, just squinted his eyes, but Manager Cui had already taken the initiative to step forward and said sharply: "What is the purpose of having blood light in the court!"
This is not like the shrill voice of all eunuchs, Mr. Cui listens carefully to this person's voice and listens carefully to his Ali is slightly hoarse, but he can speak oppressive language unhurriedly, how can he feel other things at this time.
One of the Praetorian Guards stepped forward and said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, this prisoner has just been severely tortured in the Punishment Department yesterday, and the wounds on his body have not yet fully recovered. ”
There is no way to avoid this kind of thing, I can only hope that Your Majesty will not be too angry about this matter, in fact, they are also holding a cold sweat in their hearts, and they don't know how Your Majesty will react, if it is really Long Yan angry, this matter will definitely implicate them.
It was at this time that 6 Nancheng said lightly: "Forget it, I also want you Aiqing to take a good look today, whether you know this murderer, and let you know how far the case has progressed now." ”
Emperor Zhaohua's move is not without any plan, if there is really one person among the civil and military officials who wants to kill Shen Ting, it will definitely show his feet in today's court, but unfortunately he still missed it, not only the injured Shen Ting did not attend, but even the other two most suspicious people at the moment did not attend.
can only determine how much is involved in this in advance, in order to ring the alarm bell for them, if they continue to do things like this, it is very likely that they will all experience what Shen Ting has experienced, and this person who wants to kill himself behind the scenes is not so simple.
Not to mention whether they have this ability, whether they can live like Prime Minister Shen Cheng, if they really have this ability, they naturally don't need to worry, if they die unlucky, it is likely to be their most failure, or don't want this kind of thing to happen to you.
