Chapter 203: The Imperial Court
readx;?β It's just a mess together!"
Zhao Huan seemed to mean something, but he didn't know what he was referring to. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½81
"I'm not messing up, it's you who's messing up, to be precise, you're messing up!"
"You know everything?"
Zhao Huan asked this, like a fool.
Wu Xi shook his head, feeling that the emotional intelligence of the monarch he wanted to support in the future was like this, and he felt that he had traveled through the wrong dynasty.
"If you still think that we are all in a mess, then you are doomed, there is only one ending for losers in history, and that is death, not to mention that you don't know the dirty things of your imperial family.
The change of throne of your old Zhao family is still relatively gentle, so there is no experience to learn from.
I believe that after this time, you will have the experience of what to do when this kind of thing happens. β
Zhao Huan said with a wry smile: "Brother Xi, do you say that my life is particularly bad, everyone who is the crown prince inherits the throne peacefully, even if he is not capable, he will have the ability to help the outstanding ministers, who am I recruiting to provoke whom? Not to mention the constant war, there are still my own people who come back to grab the throne with me! You say that I did something wrong in my last life, and God wants to punish me like this?"
Zhao Huan's emotions were a little excited, don't blame him, whoever is excited about this.
"Okay, it's okay to look like a prince, people want to see your jokes now, you look like you're in the hands of others, is that what you want to see?"
Wu Xi brought him a bun left over from noon, Zhao Huan didn't think about it, he took it and ate it.
After eating, I felt that it was wrong, but at least it tasted very wrong.
"What did you give me to eat?"
"Buns?"
"No, it's not a bun, it's a rancid bun. β
"So what?"
"That's going to hurt your stomach. β
"yes!"
"Ang, I understand, are you going to tell me again that our Great Song Dynasty's stomach is already broken, and someone needs to stand up?"
"yes!"
"Then this person must be me?"
"What do you say?"
Zhao Huan's eyes rolled for a long time, and he left with the eunuch who was looking around, and Wu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Hou, is this really what you meant by giving the prince a rancid bun just now?"
The second dog came up and asked.
"The devil knows what it means, as long as the prince says what it means, that's what it means. β
Ergouzi suddenly felt that his IQ had been lowered very much, probably because he had been with the bull's-eyed baby for a long time, and his body was contaminated with some silly atmosphere.
The three-day statute of limitations has arrived, which is also the statute of limitations set by Wu Xi himself, in order to solve the immediate troubles as soon as possible and return to the normal track of life.
He's really tired.
King Jian has already planned everything, no matter whether Wu Xi has this three-day time limit or not, he will carry out a coup d'Γ©tat.
The reason why Wu Xi did this was to give Zhao Ji another chance, it seems that Zhao Ji is not so stupid.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Wu Xi came to Xuanwu Gate early, waiting for the court, and happened to meet Zao Shengzhang who came, looking around left and right, there was no figure of Cai Jing, Bacheng Shengzhang was abandoned, this is rectification, today and you are still an alliance, in the blink of an eye, you may become an enemy, go to court, and die to rectify you.
It's a pity that Sheng Zhang still feels that he has a chance to win, squinting his eyes and taking a nap, even if he can't win, his life should be worry-free.
Therefore, although there is not enough evidence to prove that Wu Xi is the murderer, then Wu Xi must not find out who is the murderer, so everyone is tied.
There is also a rule in officialdom, that is, no matter how big the hatred is, it will not force the other party to death, which is the minimum rule.
It's a pity that Wu Xi is not from the Song Dynasty, and his thoughts are not the thoughts of the Song Dynasty, so he will not give Sheng Zhang a way out at all.
Because when he was attacking, he didn't give Wu Xi any way out.
"Congratulations, Sir. β
Wu Xi walked up and said.
"Why did Wu Hou say this?"
Sheng Zhang didn't even open his eyes and asked.
"Because, you're going to win. β
Wu Xi said deliberately.
"Haha...... Wu Hou won't have come up with any way to evade the blow, right?"
"That's not true, Ben Hou is going to die on top of the main hall when you show evidence, and there will be no hesitation. β
Wu Xi said it easily, and Sheng Zhang looked helpless, because in his opinion, this is Wu Xi to send him another message, which means that as long as anyone loses today, then he will die in the main hall, and someone must die, and this matter will be over.
This is what Wu Xi really means.
At this time, Sheng Zhang seemed to understand something, because he felt that this Wu Xi was not an ordinary person, and he would not talk to you about rules at all, but only about principles with you.
Could it be that I will die today?
Sheng Zhang looked up to the sky and sighed, it was only at this time that he really saw the whole incident clearly, he was a dispensable chess piece.
Since he took office as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, he has been, and it is ridiculous that he still makes wedding clothes for others.
Today is bound to have no way out, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, no one will let him go, the Zhao family is fighting for the country, he Shengzhang died first, he is a little unwilling.
Anyway, if you fight for yourself, it will be in vain to walk in this world again.
The court meeting began, the civil and military forces stood still, and the emperor ascended to the palace.
The topic mainly revolves around the murder of Yushi Fanghe, whether Wu Hou is the murderer, or whether Wu Hou has found the murderer, which is very important.
"Wu Hou has sufficient evidence and motives for killing people, although there is no direct evidence, but Wei Chen dares to pack a ticket, this matter is Wu Hou's doing, in order to split us internally and achieve his ulterior goals. β
This is Sheng Zhang's counterattack, human nature, the last struggle of the dying man, everyone needs to do.
What's even more annoying is Zhao Ji, the royal family has this problem, whether someone wants to rebel, or it is unfavorable to themselves, they will not let go of any factors that threaten themselves, about what Sheng Zhang just said, Zhao Ji listed Wu Xi as a key object of care.
Even if Sheng Zhang didn't say so, the speculation about Wu Xi never stopped.
Therefore, Zhao Ji has reason to believe that Wu Xi also has different intentions.
Despite being close to the crown prince, there may be other purposes.
Otherwise, King Jian was driven away, and another Wu Hou came out, which is equivalent to helping the wolf drive away the tiger, and he did not eliminate any threat, and found a bigger trouble for himself.
"Without evidence, you can't explain anything, I still remember your agreement three days ago, I don't know if Master Sheng is ready?"
Sheng Zhang's face was bitter, he originally wanted to fight back, who knew that the emperor was so direct, did these people really want to let themselves die?
"Yes, Weichen has no evidence that Wu Hou is the murderer, so has Wu Hou found the murderer of Fang He? If not, we can just have a tie at most. β
Sheng Zhang's meaning is very clear, that is, as long as you Wu Xi does not find the murderer, then this bet is a draw, if you want to die, two people will die together, and if you want to live, you will live together, Cai Jing did not come today, this is to give up on yourself, whether it is life or death, it depends on yourself, so now every step is a matter of life and death, and there can be no loopholes.
"Wu Hou, how is it? Master Sheng is asking you for evidence!"
Zhao Ji turned his gaze to Wu Xi.
"Your Majesty, Lord Fang's case is confusing, even if Weichen says it, no one will believe it, according to Weichen, this matter is just settled, let's have a tie, why not?"
This is Wu Xi's intention to let go of Sheng Zhang, but the law that if you don't die, you won't die, whether it is in later generations or in the Song Dynasty, you can find common ground.
At this time, Sheng Zhang said unrelentingly: "Wu Hou doesn't take our bet seriously, if Wu Hou has evidence, the old man is willing to dedicate himself to the bet." β
Sheng Zhang was already very sure that Wu Xi did not have any evidence in his hands to prove Fang He's murderer, so he began to be aggressive.
What's more, a life for a life is itself a backup plan for them to just start executing the plan.
Originally, Sheng Zhang was about to give up, but now that the peak has turned around, he has started this plan privately, hoping that the power grabber can let go of his family, which is begging for mercy in another sense.
"I can understand your hardships, so accept your challenge, Ben Hou has the heart to let you go, you are bent on death, Ben Hou will fulfill you, knowing that this is your unspoken rule, so, it is better for Ben Hou to stick to the principle, otherwise it will not be Ben Hou. β
This is purely a confrontation between them, so it is natural to use the title of their position, and it is not disrespectful to the emperor.
"Then thank you Wu Hou Chengcheng, I hope the death of the old man can help my Great Song Dynasty, the old man is waiting for your good news in hell. β
After finishing speaking, he took off his official hat, took off his official uniform and placed it neatly in the middle of the court, and then slowly saluted like Zhao Ji, and installed the pillar in the middle of the hall.
Wu Xi admired them very much, those who died for their ideals.
Wu Xi was very honest that he would never be able to do it so decisively, leaving everything behind and dying.
On the one hand, they are Wu Xi's enemies, on the other hand, they are the people Wu Xi admires, in this era where either you die or I live, Wu Xi can't be emotional, the affection is too big, he can't afford it at all, so the family needs to be fed, he doesn't care if others also have a big family to support, that's not his purview, and it is impossible for him to take care of all the people.
Sheng Zhang must die, the emperor will not tolerate his behavior, this is the result of his own blame, it can be said that his death eased the contradiction between King Jian and the emperor, so that everyone has a buffer time.
Although Zhao Ji knew that it was King Jian who was making a ghost, he couldn't compete on the bright side, in that case, it would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face, and he would also lose the royal face.
So this is a battle that can only be fought in the dark, although everyone knows it in their hearts, but they just can't say it.
It was only by the tacit understanding between them that King Jian had the upper hand in the confrontation, but soon, the situation would unfold in his unfavorable direction.
