Chapter 6 Fighting Poison with Poison
After Emperor Jin summoned the divine doctor, he surrounded Prince Gong's mansion with the forbidden army, and at the same time arrested the wife and children of the housekeeper Qian and the guard, and imprisoned them in the inner prison, and ordered to be grounded in Concubine Qing Shu to wait for interrogation.
When Emperor Jin saw the legendary divine doctor Dugu praying for the night, he could only use the word "strange" to describe it.
It was a handsome young man of the same age as Xi Ze, but it was a pity that although he was born with a good appearance, he did not have a commensurate expression, his whole body exuded a cold air that rejected people thousands of miles away, as if everything in heaven and earth had nothing to do with it, a pair of dark eyes exuded a cold glow, he folded his hands in his sleeves, stood with his back slightly arched, and bowed his hand to Emperor Jin a little as a salute, and then came to the bed to check the cloud tilt, and soon diagnosed the cloud tilt in the high mountain poison produced in the Xia country.
Qi Ye secretly thought about this poison, it was from a foreign land, he turned his eyes to look at the kings standing aside, only to see that King Qi was very calm, King Chang was angry, King Zhao seemed to have nothing to do with himself, King Yu frowned slightly, who was plotting against his master Xi Ze?
Qi Ye frowned and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, can you let the grass people see the arrows in the princess?" In order to confirm the diagnosis! ”
Emperor Jin nodded and said, "Divine Doctor, just check!" With that, he motioned for the attendant to present the arrows.
Pray for the night to pick up the arrow and examine it carefully. But this arrow has nothing special except that the arrow is sharpened more blunt, and it does not bring any clues to Qi Ye, Qi Ye put down the arrow and reported to Emperor Jin: "Your Majesty, the princess has been poisoned by the high mountains!" ”
Emperor Jin saw that Qi Ye knew this poison, and couldn't help but see the dawn, and hurriedly said: "This poison, the divine doctor may solve it?" ”
"Nature can solve it!"
Emperor Jin relieved himself, nodded at Lan Jun, and then turned his head to Qi Ye and ordered: "Please also ask the divine doctor to rescue the princess, as long as I can save the princess, I will have a heavy reward!" ”
In just half an hour, Yun Tian woke up safely, and Dugu prayed for the name of the night doctor, which was really worthy of his name. Emperor Jin and Lan Jun were both overjoyed, Lan Jun hurriedly walked to Yun Tilt's bed and said to Yun Tilt: "Yun Tilt, you wake up, I am relieved, it was the Dugu Divine Doctor who saved you!" ”
Yun Tian endured the pain and turned his eyes to look at it, and said weakly: "Thank you for saving me, this grace is unforgettable!" ”
However, when Emperor Jin asked Qi Ye what reward he wanted, he only left some intriguing words: "If it weren't for King Gong's designation to ask me to come, I wouldn't have rescued me, but it's a pity, faith is doubtful, loyalty is slandered, King Gong has a distinguished military exploits, why should he return to the Jin Kingdom and put himself in prison, why not throw himself into the Miluo River!" ”
The next day, Emperor Jin ordered the Criminal Department to retry King Gong's case. However, before the will was issued, the secretary of the criminal department came to report that the guard who fired the dart, his wife and children, and the money housekeeper all committed suicide in prison last night.
Emperor Jin was furious when he heard this, and after a thorough investigation, the so-called "suicide" was just an illusion. Emperor Jin immediately dismissed the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and ordered Xia Wanfeng, the servant of the Criminal Department, to try the case of King Gong the next day.
This summer evening maple, one in twenty years, born graceful, the world said: "beautiful man"! This man was quite bold, well-versed in the past, and the most eloquent, and it is said that he once verbally confronted ten officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory at the same time, and finally left them speechless. As a result, some people lamented: "This person is not a minister, but a condescending talent!" ”
However, this is not the key, the key is that Xia Wanfeng was brought up by Xi Ze to sit in the current criminal department. In other words, he actually belongs to King Gong's faction. Emperor Jin did not shy away from appointing a person who had received Xi Ze's great favor to try the case of mounted archery, which was really unexpected, but what was even more unexpected was that after a whole morning of trial, Xia Wanfeng not only failed to exonerate Xi Ze, but made Xi Ze more guilty.
On the afternoon of the interrogation of Xi Ze, Xia Wanfeng took the scroll and a square box and went to the Taiji Hall to meet Emperor Jin.
From a distance, he saw a black kneeling in front of the Taiji Palace, his delicate and elegant facial features, and immediately revealed an unfathomable expression, he walked quickly to everyone, and exclaimed: "Oops...... King Gong is really powerful, even the only prime minister in the court has been dispatched. Lord Song, you are a lot older, so you have to pay attention to your body! ”
Since the defeat of the abolished prince, Lord Xu, who was originally the right prime minister, has also fallen, and the position of the right prime minister is still vacant, so Song Bingguo is now the only prime minister in the court. Although he heard Xia Wanfeng's words, he still looked ahead unmoved.
Xia Wanfeng was not angry, and continued to greet others: "Lord Yue, Lord Feng, Lord Bai, Lord Ye...... You're all here! ”
Everyone had already heard that Xia Wanfeng had smashed the case, but they didn't know what charge he had added to Xi Ze, and now seeing his posture, it was as if they wished that Xi Ze would fall immediately, so they disdained to greet him and heard about it.
Among them, the most angry was Xia Wanfeng's father Xia Kai, who repeatedly gave Xia Wanfeng a look, but saw that Xia Wanfeng turned a blind eye, so he shouted: "Shaft, shut up!" ”
When Xia Wanfeng heard this, as if she had just discovered her father, she said casually: "Master Taifu, are you also there?" Then, he said to the princes who were kneeling at the front, "Yo, all the princes are still kneeling here?!" It's been two days, it's really fraternal, and the lower officials will give a gift to all the princes! ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture to the kings, however, without waiting for the others to speak, he then smiled at King Chang and said, "Your Royal Highness King Chang, you are actually here!" You are really kind-hearted, King Gong regards you as a thorn in his side, and you actually kneel here to plead for him. You say, how many people are there in this whole court, so why did the guards testify against you? ”
King Chang's face did not change, and he said righteously: "We are brothers, there must be a misunderstanding in this!" ”
"Alas! I'm not worth it for you! Look at this file in my hand, this is the result of a morning of trial by the lower officials! Xia Wanfeng shook her head and said, "This King Gong...... I'm afraid it's going to fall! ”
"You ......" King Chang was full of vigilance and dealt with it carefully, "You don't talk nonsense here, your father is magnanimous, and he will definitely pardon the third brother!" ”
"Shaft, don't stop yet!" Xia Kai reprimanded again.
But Xia Wanfeng ignored him, but continued to say to King Chang: "I, Xia Wanfeng, think I'm not stupid, but who knows that King Gong will be a rebel!" I just want to stand up for him, but I can't help it! ”
When everyone heard this, Xia Wanfeng added the crime of rebellion to Xi Ze, and they were shocked, and King Chang was also panicked: "Rebellion? Where do you start? ”
Xia Wanfeng said slowly: "You have been kneeling here for two days, I'm afraid you don't know, I'll give you a letter." The people outside all spread that King Gong shot the seven princesses of Yan with arrows, which was a plan that had already been discussed with Jiang Fu and Huo Yuanying, the generals of Yan State. Think about it, along the way, King Gong treated the ministers of Yan Country favorably, and how many hearts he gathered, a few days ago, didn't General Huo also go to Prince Gong's Mansion to visit? Who knows what they're talking about? ”
Such absurd and unruly rumors made everyone stunned and speechless for a long time.
In the end, it was King Chang who took the lead in coming back to his senses: "Presumptuous, this king is impatient to see your position as a waiter in the criminal department, and you dare to be so alarmist, and this king will not be spared when you turn around!" ”
However, Xia Wanfeng didn't seem to hear the anger in King Chang's words, and still said casually: "The prince is angry, how dare the minister be alarmist?" Look at this box in the hands of the minister, this evidence is sufficient! As soon as the words changed, he suddenly turned his head to look at King Qi next to him, and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, what do you think?" ”
King Qi looked at him coldly and did not say a word.
Xia Wanfeng didn't wait for King Qi to speak, but Song Bingguo, who was kneeling on the side and was silent all the time, finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said angrily: "You, the servant of the Criminal Department, are so bloody, reversing black and white, when the old man asks the emperor for forgiveness and Queen Gong, he will definitely take a good look at you!" ”
Hearing this, Xia Wanfeng no longer pestered King Qi, he walked to Song Bingguo's side, and Wen Yan persuaded: "Don't be angry, Prime Minister, I didn't wronged King Gong, although the human evidence is dead, but the physical evidence is still there, look at this box, the physical evidence is here." This person, once he has power, he will change, King Gong has great achievements, what can't he do? ”
"You ......"
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind Xia Wanfeng: "Your Majesty, if everyone who has made military achievements will be charged with rebellion in the end, who else in the world dares to fight for the Jin Kingdom?" How did the Jin Kingdom realize its ambition of dominating the world? ”
Everyone was so surprised that they turned their heads to look at the person who shouted loudly, only to see him repeat the words in a loud voice over and over again, earnestly and tirelessly.
Xia Wanfeng also looked at that person fixedly: this person's name is Xu Yuan, he is not from King Gong's faction, strictly speaking, he is just an inconspicuous official, and he does not belong to any faction.
Just when Xia Wanfeng was pondering, Sixi, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Jin, came to the Taiji Hall to announce Xia Wanfeng's audience.
Xia Wanfeng heard the summoning and secretly thought that the shout of the person just now, Emperor Jin must have heard it, so he walked into the Taiji Hall with a calm expression.
