Chapter 161: Whose Hongmen Feast
Sixty "What's going on out there?" Emperor Yan frowned and asked the person beside him.
Leng Xiang had already prepared, looked outside at the moment, and called the troublemakers to come in and ask questions.
As a result, the person who came in surprised everyone, it was the old housekeeper of the Han family!
Who doesn't know about the hussar general's recent imprisonment? What's more, they are also generals who are not inferior to Zhu Jiu, so even if they are a domestic servant, it is enough for everyone to be impressed.
And then, the servant's words surprised everyone.
I saw that as soon as the housekeeper came in, he knelt on the ground and appealed bitterly, a handful of snot and tears were not true, and the words were full of how Zhu Jiu framed and mutilated their general, and how he sent all the Han family members to Dali Temple.
At this time, Dali Siqing, who had been afraid to speak in the crowd, saw that the time had come, and after secretly exchanging a look with Leng Qingxiu, he hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground to plead: "Your Majesty! It was Wei Chen's poor care that gave Zhu Jiu an opportunity to take advantage of it, allowing Zhu Jiu to destroy the Han family!"
"What?"
Emperor Yan was furious, almost incredulous, and immediately refuted him: "Bold! How dare you slander my Aiqing?"
On the side, Zhu Jiu sat in place without changing his face, holding a wine glass in his hand, and the white jade wine glass was played with by her, showing a little leisurely and comfortable.
Xuanyuan Che glanced at her, then stood up and said to Dali Siqing, "Since Lord Liu knew that the Han family was destroyed, why didn't he report it to the emperor as soon as possible? Instead, you have to say it at this time?"
As soon as these words came out, Dali Siqing's expression changed, and he kowtowed in the direction of Zhu Jiu in fear, as if he didn't dare to say anything more.
But this appearance is clearly the appearance of being shocked by Zhu Jiu.
In the eyes of the courtiers, their gaze towards Zhu Jiu also became a little meaningful.
At the same time, Leng Xiang slapped the table and stood up, angrily pointing at Zhu Jiu: "General Zhu! General Han's family served the imperial court and did their best, but you falsely imprisoned him on false charges, just to compete for the military power in the hands of General Han, how can you face the heroic souls of those soldiers you toasted just now!"
"I beg Your Majesty, don't harbor criminals, and bring Zhu Jiu to justice and give the Han family an explanation!"
He turned his head and saluted Emperor Yan, looking loyal and heartbroken.
Leng Qingxiu also got up in shock, as if she didn't expect Zhu Jiu to do such a thing, and looked at her with a disappointed expression: "General Zhu, why are you ......?"
As soon as her voice choked, she sighed and said leisurely: "I didn't expect that after leaving Xuanyuan Country for so long, you would still break the connection with Xuanyuan Che, and you would not hesitate to cut off Yan Guo's own arm to help Xuanyuan Che win Yan Kingdom."
In an instant, the hall fell silent, and everyone's gaze at Zhu Jiu changed almost instantly, and they became frightened and resentful one by one.
Even the ministers who trusted Zhu Jiu couldn't help frowning when they heard Leng Qingxiu's words, and they all looked at Zhu Jiu.
If someone else framed Zhu Jiu for treason, they would not believe it.
But this person is cold! Leng Qingxiu, who stayed with her in the Xuanyuan Palace.
Leng Qingxiu can even say this, it must have been seen with his own eyes, can it be fake?
Looking at the country that Zhu Jiu had to protect with his life, as well as the pillars of the imperial court, staring at her with this suspicious and hateful gaze at this moment, Xuanyuan Che didn't speak again, but glanced back at Zhu Jiu.
There was something complicated in his eyes.
I feel worthless for Zhu Jiu.
If there is any existence in this world that can hurt Zhu Jiu's heart more than him Xuanyuan Che, then the bottom is these people she protects, right?
Just when everyone was criticizing her, Emperor Yan looked at her with a slight hesitation, and his voice was a little unconfident: "Aiqing, this is ...... Is this true?"
It wasn't until Emperor Yan asked that Zhu Jiu put down his wine glass, his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, with a just right smile on his lips, and he replied gently: "Your Majesty, Zhu Jiu is sincere, and the sun and the moon can be seen."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Leng Xiang and Dali Siqing with dissatisfaction: "What you say has no evidence, but there is evidence?" General Zhu is an important minister in the DPRK and a pillar of the country
If you dare to frame her with empty mouths and white fangs, I will deal with you according to the laws of the land!"
It is rumored that Yan is violent, but if he is violent, how can he be willing to be an idle prince before he becomes king?
Even if he is a little mediocre now, he still knows how to act according to the rules and does not commit atrocities without permission.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Jiu was also a little relieved in his heart.
As long as the king is still there, the kingdom will still be saved.
The little prince also stood up and came to Prime Minister Leng who was kneeling down with a sneer: "This palace has long heard that Leng Xiang and General Zhu are at odds, but I never thought that Leng Xiang did such a thing as destroying the Han family in order to frame General Zhu for collaborating with the enemy and treason, why did Leng Xiang stay in Yan Country for so long, and he couldn't even tell who was loyal and who was a woman?"
was taught by a yellow-mouthed child, and his cold face was extremely ugly, but fortunately, he didn't show it when he lowered his head, and in front of Emperor Yan, he only arched his hand and said, "Your Highness taught you."
Just as the little prince sneered, he immediately said, "Dali Siqing, do you have any evidence?"
Dali Siqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed, saying that there was evidence that Zhu Jiu destroyed the Han family and framed Zhongliang, and said that the reason why it was only taken out at this time was to prevent Zhu Jiu from doing something to him after knowing the truth.
The words described Zhu Jiu as a ruthless person, coupled with the excessive military power in her hands, it is really scary.
Leng Qingxiu guided the younger generation, and expressed endless disappointment and ridicule to Zhu Jiu.
Zhu Jiu was still indifferent, and even called out Jiang Cheng, the only one who wanted to speak for her.
The ministers who were good friends with the Zhu family also stood up at this time, saying that they could not listen to the words of Dali Siqing, and General Zhu must have a way to prove his innocence.
"General, don't you hate these people?"
After Jiang Cheng returned to her, he asked her.
In fact, Xuanyuan Che really wanted to see what Zhu Jiu was thinking now.
If she still felt that these people were innocent and blinded by the female cadres as before, then he would also be disappointed in Zhu Jiu in his heart.
However, Zhu Jiu only glanced at the ministers who spoke for her, and secretly wrote down their names before saying to Jiang Cheng: "These people have been prepared for a long time, how can I uproot these tumors before they completely crush me to death?"
Who said that today's celebration banquet is her Hongmen banquet?
Zhu Jiu poured a glass of wine and drank it all.
When he raised his eyes and looked at the ministers in this Taiji Hall again, a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling flashed in his eyes.
The opportunity sent by Leng Xiang to the door made her see the situation between the DPRK and China clearly, and those who were from Leng Xiang's faction were the protagonists of today's Hongmen Banquet!
Rao is words were said lightly, Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes gradually brightened to look at her, as if he saw the sun, and his heart was warm.
Maybe his gaze was too hot, Zhu Jiu was a little uncomfortable, patted him lightly on the shoulder, thinking of the scene where he jumped out to block the wine for her, and didn't know if the wine was poisonous, she shook her head and said, "Okay, eat something, I've tried it, these meals are not poisonous."
