The eunuch announced the end of the early dynasty, and the ministers stretched their waists and walked out, who could stand it for a day and a night, and it was the king to go home quickly to make up for sleep, but even so, everyone did not forget to cast a disdainful look at King Zhao and King Wei before leaving.

King Zhao and King Wei glared at each other, and the two took a detour to leave the Qinzheng Palace, deliberately slowing down and waiting for the ministers to walk away before walking towards the palace gate.

King Zhao went out of the palace gate first, he quickly boarded the carriage and instructed the coachman: "Hurry, return to the hotel." ”

At the same time, he noticed that someone was staring at him, if the prediction was good, it should be someone from the Imperial Governor's Office, these guys were too smart, and they smelled him so quickly that he had something to do with the death of the emperor's grandson.

He was a little worried along the way, thinking that the death of his son Liu Wenkang could turn everyone's attention aside, so as to exclude Liu Wenkang from the suspected object of murdering the emperor and grandson, and it was better to bear an infamy than to murder the emperor and grandson, but now it seems that he is not as optimistic as he thought.

When he arrived at the State Guesthouse, he saw at a glance that the people in the Zhao State Mission District were overwhelmed by the people of the Imperial Authority, and the Wei King Mission was treated equally.

His heart hung again, although yesterday's act of marrying the blame was not successful, but what his son Zhao Wenkang did was seamless, and he did not leave any evidence against him, how did the Imperial Lieutenant Department find clues.

As soon as he got out of the car, Prime Minister Zhao Tong came over and whispered: "King, just now the people from the Imperial Lieutenant Office took away the entourage of the second prince, saying that they wanted to know some facts about the case, what is going on?" ”

King Zhao's heart suddenly jumped: "When is it?" ”

Zhao Tong replied: "Half an hour ago, as soon as our team entered the city, there were people from the Imperial Court Office who followed behind as tails, and you entered the palace with the emperor's guard of honor, and they followed us all the way to the state guesthouse, shouting that no one should leave here for half a step, and everyone didn't know what was going on, so people couldn't help but be panicked." ”

King Zhao asked again: "Did you just take away Wenkang's entourage, what about Wang Jisen?" ”

"It's inside, but he's also in a hurry, and the people from the Imperial Lieutenant's Office just now frightened him. The prime minister said.

King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wang Jisen was not taken away, yesterday he was the one who shot the emperor's grandson Liu Yao with an arrow, this person has exquisite archery skills and can shoot a strong bow of more than six stones, because he was King Zhao's entourage, so he was not taken away by the Imperial Commander's Office.

But even this is not safe, many people know that Wang Jisen followed Zhao Wenkang yesterday, and sooner or later the Imperial Lieutenant Office will find this clue, and then come over to ask for someone.

King Zhao walked quickly to the inner hall and said to the prime minister who was following behind: "Busy with your go, this king wants to say a few words to Liu Jisen, and no one is allowed to disturb him." ”

Zhao Tong nodded and said, "Obey." ”

Yesterday's incident is confidential, except for King Zhao, only Liu Wenkang and Wang Jisen know, Liu Wenkang is dead, as long as Wang Jisen is willing to shut up, things may take a turn for the better.

At the moment of seeing Wang Jisen, King Zhao once again realized that his thoughts were too optimistic, the other party had been scared stupid, once he was taken away by the Imperial Governor's Office, he would confess without a big punishment, it seemed that he had to change his strategy, his son was dead, it was better to let him carry the black cauldron, at least he could keep his status as a vassal king.

He slapped Wang Jisen on the shoulder, Wang Jisen was so frightened that he almost didn't sit on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The king...... The East Window incident ......"

"What happened to the East Window, you remember one thing for me, no matter who asks you, even if he puts a knife on your neck, he must say that the person who murdered the emperor and grandson is Liu Wenkang, and you have to shoot the emperor and grandson under his coercion. King Zhao said sharply.

Wang Jisen nodded indifferently, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "No, if I say so, I will confirm the evidence of shooting the emperor and grandson, and there is only one way to die." ”

Zhao Wang smiled and said: "Do you think you will live if you don't say that, killing the emperor and grandson is a big crime, even if you run to the ends of the earth, there is only one way to die, the emperor's can kill your head, and the king's knife is not a vegetarian, you listen to the king, all the blame should be pushed on Liu Wenkang, you take this matter down, don't say that I have anything to do with this matter, just say that I was also kept in the dark by Liu Wenkang." As long as you can do that, the king will take good care of your family, and you will be reunited with them in the Netherworld, you know. ”

Wang Jisen sat on the ground in fright, weighed the pros and cons and said, "You promise not to embarrass my family." ”

King Zhao swore an oath: "Not only will you not be embarrassed, but you will also give your children and grandchildren a future, and you will die a well-deserved death." ”

Wang Jisen gritted his teeth: "I-." ”

King Zhao smiled: "Okay, it's not in vain that this king has taken good care of you all these years, in order to show the innocence of this king, I will personally send you to the court office, you should know how to tell the other party." ”

Wang Jisen nodded: "I know, just say that I took the initiative to confess everything to the king, and you sent me to the court office out of public intentions." ”

King Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and was just about to say some more words to appease Wang Jisen, when someone shouted outside: "King, His Royal Highness King Wei is here, we can't stop him, come out and have a look." ”

"What is he doing here, don't you think this king is not messy enough here? King Zhao said angrily, and before leaving the room, he didn't forget to explain: "You stay here honestly for this king, and you are not allowed to leave half a step." ”

Outside, the King of Wei and a few followers rampage, King Zhao's people were indeed almost unbearable, and then look at the people in the Imperial Governor's Office, they stood still motionless, because they received an order to monitor the every move of King Zhao and King Wei, as long as the other party did not leave the state guesthouse, it didn't matter if they went to the room to uncover the tiles.

"Liu Sheng, what are you going to do. Dare to come to the king's territory to spread wild, you eat the courage of the ambitious leopard. King Zhao shouted angrily.

King Wei sneered and said: "Liu Pengcheng, you don't have a big tail in front of this king, if it weren't for your sake of your and my father's peers, this king would not be so polite to your subordinates, it was your son who rushed into this king's camp and raped the two concubines of this king, although His Majesty the emperor didn't say anything, but shouldn't you, the father, apologize to me." ”

King Zhao-for-tat: "Wenkang has died under your sword, what are you not satisfied with." Why didn't you give your Majesty advice in the court just now, and now you are looking for trouble with this king, do you think that my Zhao Guo is easy to bully. ”

King Wei frowned and said: "Liu Pengcheng, don't think that I don't know what your father and son have done, if you know each other, please invite this king in for a cup of tea, and let's explain things clearly in front of the gong." ”

King Zhao couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, listening to the meaning of Liu Sheng's words, as if he knew about Liu Wenkang's assassination of the emperor and grandson. This is even more wrong, the court bureau found that the clues are excusable, they were originally a bunch of guys who are more intelligent than a dog's nose, how can King Wei also know, could it be that this matter is already known to the world.

The reason why King Wei made such a judgment was actually guessed, the poisoning was done by him in collusion with the cook, and the Imperial Lieutenant Department put him on the list of key suspicions, and the blame had nothing to do with him, and it was obviously related to another suspect, King Zhao. And he also knew that the Imperial Lieutenant Office had taken away Liu Wenkang's entourage, so he made more accurate inferences based on this.

King Zhao had a weak heart, and forcibly endured the anger in his heart and said: "Since the King of Wei regards himself as a junior, this king can't be lazy as an elder, you all step down, King Wei, please." ”

King Wei waved his hand and ordered his entourage: "You stay here and wait, this king wants to catch up with King Zhao." ”

A few minutes later, the two came to King Zhao's study and sat down as the guest of honor.

King Zhao waved away the maids and eunuchs, and said: "If King Wei has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, this king is not a fool, you definitely didn't come to hold your son accountable, the trouble outside just now was so fierce, it was nothing more than to show it to the people of the Imperial Governor's Office." ”

King Wei smiled, hugged his fists and said: "King Zhao is worthy of being an elder, you are right, this king is indeed making a show for those people, since the words have been made clear by you, there is no need for this king to hide it, I have a request, as long as King Zhao agrees, how about our previous grievances be written off." ”

King Zhao frowned: "Say it and listen to it." ”

King Wei lowered his voice: "Let Liu Wenkang carry the poisoning matter." ”

"What. King Zhao jumped up from his chair and said angrily: "Liu Sheng, are you daydreaming, this king's son died tragically in your hands, I don't hold you accountable for giving you face, you don't want to get an inch,"

King Wei smiled coldly: "King Zhao, don't be excited, anyway, you are ready to let the dead man bear the guilt, since it is guilty, what is the difference between one crime and two crimes." As long as you do this, this king promises that in this life I will not mention Liu Wenkang's unauthorized entry into my camp and adultery with my concubine, if not, this king and I will not want to let go of this face, and I will have to go around to publicize what Liu Wenkang has done, so that the world will spurn you Zhao State. ”

Zhao Wangqi's chest rose and fell, and it didn't matter if he was scolded by the emperor and ridiculed by hundreds of officials, and in the end, he was threatened by such a villain, he took a deep breath and asked: "How do you know that I want to let the dead man take the blame." ”

"Everybody is smart, is it funny to ask such a stupid question? King Wei said with deep meaning: "Don't say that Liu Wenkang is dead, even if he doesn't die, Uncle Wang, you will push him out and carry the black pot, as the old saying goes, dead friends don't die poor, what father-son relationship is all fart at a critical moment, life and rights are the most important." ”

King Zhao's heart was completely confused, he raised his clenched fist and smashed it on the table, gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Sheng counts you ruthlessly, you kill my son and make him take the blame, so you are not afraid that I will complain to the emperor and say that you poisoned,"

He also figured out that the reason why King Wei spared no effort to force himself was precisely to show that he was the culprit of poisoning.

"Uncle Wang is smart, and he guesses well. King Wei said with a nonchalant face: "The key is whether you have evidence, don't end up spitting blood when you don't succeed, I don't care, there is no evidence, what can the emperor do to me." You think about it, this king thinks that we are grasshoppers on a rope, since this is the case, we should help each other, and tide over the difficulties together, isn't it, you have to fight, and finally let others take advantage. ”

King Zhao's heart was completely confused, and he said, "Okay, I promise you, but you have to keep your promise, otherwise this king will not spare you." ”
