Chapter 031: His Majesty Dies
Pang Rui was afraid that he would delay the serious matter, and was about to stop it, Su Yuzhen said indifferently: "This general is ordered by His Majesty to stay in Chen Capital to deal with the aftermath." Now that the matter has been done, hurry up and return to the court. Lord Zhen doesn't know the inside story, he cares about His Majesty's safety, so it doesn't hurt to ask a few more questions. β
The generals glanced at the ministers with dissatisfaction and reined in their arrogance.
The ministers glanced back at the generals and were silent.
Zhen Honggan laughed twice: "It turns out that General Zhou has a royal order with him, but the old minister is abrupt, and I hope the generals will forgive me." β
Pang Rui glanced at Su Yuzhen deeply, grateful for maintaining his reputation as a general.
Since ancient times, civil servants have valued profit, and military ministers have valued righteousness, and reputation is very important to anyone, and no one wants to be framed and humiliated.
Zhou Ziheng is really blessed, sleeping on the dragon couch, receiving the grace of the king, and after a while, he will be bowed down by this group of civil ministers and military generals......
Sure enough, if you don't die, there will be blessings. Pang Rui was a little envious.
At this time, Zhen Hong asked seemingly casually: "General Zhou rushed back last night?" β
"Exactly." Su Yuzhen smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is anxious to return to the court, saying that there are important matters to discuss, and the last general will not dare to slack off." β
Zhen Hong's face changed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, in the end, he was an old minister who was skilled in the world, and immediately turned around to cover up the past, "General Zhou has worked hard, Your Majesty...... When did you summon General Zhou last night? β
"Hey. After the last general returned to his life, His Majesty asked the last general to go back to the house to rest, and let Mao Shi come back and go to the morning court together. Therefore, General Ben only came a quarter of an hour before your lordship. β
"Then why are you in the house?" Zhen Hong saw the stitches.
"Last night, Your Majesty asked the last general not to be formal, and when he came, he went into the house and waited."
"Oh...... In that case, we respectfully invite St. Ann? Zhen Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence. Sure enough, he was a thief with a weak heart and didn't admit himself.
Su Yuzhen knew in his heart that he knew who was behind the scenes, and this Zhen Hong was just a gun in his hand.
Zhen Hong asked so much, it was nothing more than worrying about whether Zhou Ziheng had met the person who came to destroy the evidence last night, and he was sure that it was okay, and his old face suddenly regained his majesty, "Huge general, please!" β
"Well, please St. Ann." Pang Rui nodded, and together with Zhen Hong, he took the lead in kneeling in front of the hall.
The rest of the ministers are ranked next to each other according to their official positions.
"Your Excellency, please Saint Ann!"
The ministers shouted.
There was no movement in the house.
"Your Excellency, please Saint Ann!"
The ministers shouted again.
There was still no movement in the house.
"That's not right! Your Majesty has always been diligent, and he has been practicing martial arts outside the palace, so why is he not seeing him today? β
Pang Ruihu grimaced, and said with a glance, "General Zhou, did you find anything unusual in the hall before?" β
Su Yuzhen smiled secretly in his heart, Pang Rui looked at the five big and three coarse, and he did not leak anything, and immediately said with a glance: "The last general has just entered the hall, His Majesty is sleeping soundly on the dragon couch, and the last general has not dared to come forward to disturb, and there is nothing abnormal in the rest." β
Pang Rui was serious: "At this hour, Your Majesty should have woken up a long time ago." Wait here, Ben will go in and have a look. β
Everyone nodded. Su Yuzhen looked forward sideways and saw the corners of Zhen Hong's mouth slightly upturned.
Pang Rui got up and pushed the door into the hall, and after a while, he heard him cry loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty...... Whining...... Why do you say it's gone...... Your Majesty......"
The generals were shocked, and after looking at each other, they got up one after another and rushed into the temple in a swarm.
Only Zhen Hong walked unhurriedly and entered leisurely.
Su Yuzhe watched coldly, everything was clear.
I saw Pang Rui kneeling in front of the dragon couch, hugging Zhou Ziheng and crying, it was really a tearful exchange, and he was grief-stricken: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" You get up and say a word to the minister, you get up and say a word to the minister...... Woowoo woo ......"
Military generals have always shed blood without tears. Seeing Pang Rui crying darkly, everyone panicked, whether they were sincere or not, they all knelt on the ground and cried.
The men cried so loudly that they were hoarse, and the earth shook.
Su Yuzhe also knelt behind and pretended to be sad.
Zhen Hong's latecomer came to the top, squeezed into the front row, and stepped forward to push Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng is accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, knows how to pretend to be dead, and has already rehearsed, so his acting skills are proficient and handy.
Regardless of Zhen Hong's small push, big push, and fierce push, he coped with it freely, and "died" vividly.
The rest of the people believed it and only cried, the military generals cried and wiped their tears, and Wenchen lowered his head and sobbed.
Zhen Hong pushed a few times, and made sure that "Su Yuzhe" was dead, so he immediately tore his throat and howled: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why did you go?" The Great Zhou Dynasty has only been sitting for a few days, why did you leave it alone? What should I do if you ask me to wait for the minister, what should I do......"
Pang Rui wiped a handful of tears, looked at Zhen Hong with disdain, and secretly thought, this old guy, he can't use dim sum in acting, the thunder is loud, the rain is small, and he has two more tears.
Zhen Hongxin said: Shed a fart and tears? Lao Tzu was careful and finally succeeded. When my son-in-law ascends the throne, I will be the ruler of the country under one person and above ten thousand!
Pang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and then cried, "Your Majesty, don't you still have to listen to General Zhou?" Hurry up...... Woowoo woo ......"
Zhen Hong howled two more times, and choked up: "Your Majesty, you have left no legacy, and you have no heirs, so how can I settle down as the prime minister?" The kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, and who should inherit this throne......"
Su Yuzhen and Pang Rui glanced at each other and understood.
Pang Rui said suddenly: "How could Your Majesty suddenly be like this? Yesterday he was refreshed and in good health, how could he die overnight? β
When the other generals heard this, their expressions were full of doubts and doubts.
"Yes, Your Majesty was fine yesterday, why is this the case today? It must have been framed! β
"Quickly send the Imperial Doctor to come and diagnose!"
β¦β¦
When Zhen Hong heard this, he immediately stopped howling, and pretended to look at "Su Yuzhe", "It doesn't look like it's poisoned, isn't it ......?"
Zhen Hong's eyes rolled, and he was about to blame others, and said in an unkind tone: "General Zhou, you said that you came to see Your Majesty last night, why did Your Majesty suddenly die?" β
Su Yuzhe glanced at him coldly, "The Prime Minister has something to say, is it suspected that the general will be disrespectful to His Majesty?" β
"It's not disrespectful! This official suspects that you harbor evil intentions! β
As soon as Zhen Hong's words came out, the other four ministers all pointed the finger at "Zhou Ziheng".
"Truly! The words of General Zhou's family are not to be believed, I have heard that General Zhou has surrendered to Dachen a long time ago! This time he sneaked back to the palace late at night, and broke into His Majesty's dormitory, and the wolf's ambition was revealed! β
"Bold traitor, Your Majesty died suddenly, and it must have nothing to do with you!"
"Murder the monarch and plot rebellion, punish the nine clans! Prime Minister, Your Majesty has died, and the major affairs of the DPRK and China are to be judged by your Excellency, please immediately arrest Zhou Ziheng and purge his comrades and kill his nine clans! β
β¦β¦
When the generals heard this, they were all angry.
"You don't want to spew blood! When the doctor comes, he will have his own diagnosis! β
"There is no evidence, and the mouth is open! Your Majesty is like this, and I will still suspect that you are a bastard! β
"That's it! General Zhou has always been above board, and he will never do such a thing that hurts heaven and reason! β
"If it was really General Zhou, he would have run away a long time ago, and he is still waiting for you to frame him?"
β¦β¦
Immediately, Wenchen and the military generals came and went, did not give in to each other, and scolded each other.
Su Yuzhe's face was like a flat lake, looking at Zhen Hong, facing his gloomy eyes, only to hear Zhen Hong sneer and say: "General Zhou is so bold, if the imperial doctor comes to find out that Your Majesty has harmed you, don't blame the old man for being impartial and ruthless!" β
Su Yuzhe was indifferent: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." β
Zhen Hong snorted coldly, and when he saw the imperial physician Sun Chengxian enter the door, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "Hurry up and diagnose Your Majesty, don't wronged the loyal ministers and wise men, and you can't let go of the rebellious ministers and thieves." β
The Prime Minister is usually high-minded, but suddenly so approachable, Sun Chengxian was flattered, and flattered: "The old minister must be aware of everything and do his best for the Prime Minister." β
Zhen Hong nodded with satisfaction, and looked at "Zhou Ziheng" with a gaze full of mockery and murderous aura.
Su Yuzhen watched coldly, and Shen Tai was calm: "The imperial doctor will take a good look at whether His Majesty is poisoned." β
The imperial doctor stepped forward and pinched the wrist of "Su Yuzhe" to look at the pulse.
Su Yuzhe had already discussed with Zhou Ziheng in the morning, and Zhou Ziheng tied a piece of bamboo to his wrist.
The imperial doctor touched it for a moment, got up and said in shock: "Your Majesty is not poisoned, but the heart and veins are damaged due to exhaustion, and he dies of exhaustion!" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were different.
Zhou Ziheng was lying on the dragon couch, almost laughing.
Pang Rui couldn't wait to give the imperial doctor a big ear scraper, in broad daylight, talking nonsense with his eyes open, I don't know what benefits Zhen Hong got in private!
Su Yuzhen remained silent.
The rest deplored.
Zhen Hong couldn't help but want to laugh, turned around and ran outside the hall with his hands raised, the old short and fat figure looked happy.
He ran outside the hall and raised his head to the sky and shouted, "Your Majesty...... Dead! β
"Your Majesty is deadβ"
There was a burst of echoes, and then, the entire palace fell silent......
