Chapter 7 Peaks and Loops
Xia Wanfeng walked into the Taiji Hall, and after saluting, he presented the scroll.
Emperor Jin looked at the scroll and was silent for a long time.
Xia Wanfeng felt that the time was ripe at this time, so she stood up straight, changed her previous casual attitude, and said with a straight face: "Does the emperor also think that this volume is not credible?" ”
Emperor Jin was stunned, with a gloomy face, staring at Xia Wanfeng, waiting for the following.
"But that's how the rumors spread outside! If it is said that King Gong deliberately shot the princess in order to rebel, I am afraid that he will not be able to rebel against the ministers of Yan State! The ministers of the Yan Kingdom came to the imperial capital as generals, and everyone was already in danger, and they would listen to the opinions of others and sacrifice their noble princesses to rebel? Even if they succeed, how will future generations comment on them? However, the fact is that these Yan vassals have no such ability at all. To put it bluntly, they are just captives, and how many times stronger is the army of the imperial capital than them? What leverage do they have to win this battle? Did King Gong take them all for fools? Now, not only did the ministers of Yan State not oppose, but they also wrote a joint recital, and the ministers handed it over to the emperor, asking the emperor to severely punish King Gong. If King Gong didn't shoot the princess to rebel, then King Gong's move would only arouse the anger of the crowd and push himself into the fire pit, what reason did he have for doing so? Therefore, the minister believes that this matter is definitely not the work of King Gong, and someone must be obstructing it. Your Majesty, the joint recital of the ministers of the Yan Kingdom is here, please take a look. ”
Emperor Jin looked at the letter and his face softened slightly.
Subsequently, Xia Wanfeng presented another box and said, "The minister is responsible for hearing this case, this is the box presented to the emperor by King Gong today." King Gong said that the contents of this box are very important, and they must be cautious, and no one other than the emperor is allowed to look at it! ”
When Emperor Jin opened the box, the first thing that caught his eye was a stack of paper with clear handwriting. He took out the top piece of paper and found that what was written on the paper was all the plans and personnel arrangements for King Gong's attack on Xia and Xiao after attacking Yan. He looked at it, and gradually became fascinated, and then kept taking out the papers from the box, carefully considering them one by one, until finally, what he took out was no longer a piece of paper, but a tiger talisman!
Emperor Jin stared at the tiger talisman in his hand, and his ears began to echo the loud shout in front of the Taiji Palace: Your Majesty, if every person 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?
Over and over again, until it went deep into the depths of his heart.
The next day, Emperor Jin announced the final verdict against Xi Ze and others.
First, King Gong accidentally injured the seventh princess of Yan Kingdom, causing her to go back to her home and think about it behind closed doors for a month.
Second, take back King Gong's tiger talisman and the two positions of the mighty general and the secretary of the military department.
Third, Concubine Qing Shufei had no way to teach her son and was grounded for half a month.
At the same time, Emperor Jin also issued a holy decree: Xia Wanfeng, the servant of the Criminal Department, was appointed as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and continued to investigate the case of mounted shooting.
The day Xi Ze walked out of the prison was a sunny day, the sky was as blue as a wash, as far as the eye could see, due to the long-term dimness, his eyes were not suitable for a while, Xi Ze squinted his eyes slightly to meet the sun, and several halos with a slightly dizzy feeling came faintly, so that the eyes could hardly be opened.
Xia Wanfeng stood beside him and called in a low voice: "Lord Wang......"
Xi Ze turned his head and said with a smile: "Wan Feng, this time it's really hard for you!" ”
Xia Wanfeng replied indifferently: "Actually, the minister didn't do anything, but spread some rumors and passed on some things to the emperor for the prince!" In the final analysis, the reason why the emperor released the prince from prison is because the emperor still needs the prince very much! Now, the Xia State is just a temporary truce, the Xiao State is still eyeing our country, and the most warlike person in the court is still the prince! But...... Concubine Niangniang seems to have used some means to invite Queen He to intercede for the prince, which is also very important! ”
When Xi Ze heard this, he was surprised: "Queen He is willing to intercede for this king?!" Do you know what the concubine offered her? ”
Xia Wanfeng shook her head with some regret.
At the mention of Empress He, Xi Ze immediately thought of Yun Tian, and asked a little eagerly, "By the way, how is the princess now?" ”
Xia Wanfeng replied truthfully: "Pray that the night has detoxified the princess, the princess has woken up safely, as long as she recuperates for another month or two, the princess will be cured, please rest assured!" ”
"Don't worry......" Xi Ze muttered these two words lightly, infinite sorrow and loneliness welled up in his heart, he sighed lightly, "This time, this king fell into a trap and shot the princess by mistake, and the princess suffered this great disaster, and even almost lost her life, how can you rest assured?" Have you traced any clues with Prayer Night in the past few days? Who is plotting against this king? ”
Xia Wanfeng frowned and replied: "I have checked the arrows at night, and I didn't find anything special, the guards and Mr. Qian both died inexplicably in the prison, and there is not much progress in this case so far!" ”
Xi Ze frowned and analyzed: "The original criminal department secretary is the person of King Qi, and the important person suddenly died in prison, if the original criminal department secretary has nothing to do with it, I am afraid that he will not be so innocent!" ”
"The prince is suspicious of King Qi?"
"Is it still King Chang?" Xi Ze said with deep meaning, "Although the guards testified against King Chang that day, it is obvious that the murderer behind the scenes wants to provoke a dragon and tiger dispute between this king and King Chang in order to seize the military power of Gyeonggi, Wan Feng, you can't make a mistake in the direction of your investigation!" Of course, King Zhao and King Yu are not necessarily without suspicion! ”
Xia Wanfeng arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the prince to make it clear!" ”
Xi Ze pondered for a while, and said coldly: "That criminal department member who betrayed this king, Wailang He Di, if you go to find out who he is secretly dealing with, maybe you will be mixed up with the original criminal department Shangshu!" If this is the case, most of the riding and shooting is the work of King Qi! ”
When Xia Wanfeng heard this, a fine light flashed in her eyes: "Yes, the prince can see it thoroughly!" ”
"By the way, on the side of the concubine, is the father implicated?" Xi Ze then asked.
Xia Wanfeng seemed a little unbearable, and said: "The emperor decreed that on the grounds that his godson is not good, he will be grounded for half a month!" ”
Xi Ze trembled slightly when he heard this, but he immediately calmed down: "It's just that my father has banned this king, and I ...... It seems that there are many more people who have been affected by this king! ”
"Why should the prince be discouraged?" Xia Wanfeng hurriedly persuaded, "The prince has returned from the first battle of Yan Kingdom, and he has never rested all the way, this month's bento is to recuperate, and he is not afraid of no firewood in the green mountains, in short, the ministers are looking forward to the prince making a comeback, and then fighting with the barbarians for three hundred rounds!" ”
Xi Ze reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips and said softly: "If life is just to kill on the battlefield, it is also happy, now half of the Tai in the Criminal Department is the world of King Qi, and my father suddenly promoted you to the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the bottom must be eyeing you, waiting to find your fault, you are not easy to sit in this position, you must be extremely careful!" ”
"Don't worry, the little minions of the Criminal Department, the ministers will definitely accept them one by one......"
