Chapter 41: The Chess Game

In fact, the words of the inner servant have been spread very clearly. If Yao Hanqing is summoned into the palace again, he can't say anything.

All he could do was bite the hell by accident. Because if it is not an accident, it will only be him who suffers, but if it is an accident, of course, it will offend the Son of Heaven, and there will be no evil consequences in a short time. After all, the Son of Heaven was assisted by the Zhou family to ascend the throne, how could he give the Zhou family a few thin faces, and as soon as this incident came out, if it was confirmed that it was a thunder accident, then the Son of Heaven would inevitably be unstable, and he would have to rely on the Zhou family, and he would not move him.

Some officials standing in the court of the Northern Qi Dynasty have many "seven tricks and exquisite hearts", they may not be able to see the situation and the general trend clearly, but they can definitely see their own interests and gains and losses clearly.

Yao Hanqing is such a person.

Whether it was an accident or not remains to be investigated, but before Yao Hanqing entered the palace, he promptly ordered someone to erase all traces of it, no matter what, he must sit down on this matter and sit to death, regardless of whether someone is arranging it or not.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yao Hanqing went to Zhou's mansion. Of course, instead of going to see Zhou Shizhong, he turned a corner and went to see the secretary of the Criminal Department, after all, it was the Three Law Divisions who were responsible for this case, and the Criminal Department was also one of the Three Law Divisions.

"You tell me the truth, the fire in the imperial tomb last night, was it thunder from the sky, or was there another reason?" Zhou Shuzhan went around in circles from Yao Hanqing and asked straight to the point.

Yao Hanqing shook his head, "I don't know either." ”

Whether it was or not, it didn't matter to him anymore.

Zhou Shuzhan was stunned, "What about the traces?" ”

"It's all taken care of." Yao Hanqing wiped a handful of sweat.

Zhou Shuzhan: "......"

"The Imperial Tomb is my guard, and it is impossible for me to blend in with thieves, even if there is, it can only be a good son who came to the Imperial Tomb yesterday. But no matter what the case is, it is the Zhou family that is involved. Only when this matter is made into a natural disaster can it not involve the Zhou family. Yao Hanqing hurriedly defended.

Zhou Shuzhan lowered his eyes, having said that, but this action of covering up the truth and erasing the traces was inevitably too fast.

"Didn't you say that a good family died? What kind of person. "That good family is full of suspicions, I'm afraid it's the only breakthrough.

Yao Hanqing glanced at Zhou Shuzhan in a complicated way, and said with some embarrassment: "That good family is surnamed Zhao, and his father died under the eunuch's horse's hooves a few days ago, and his name is Zhao Ruisheng. ”

Zhou Shuzhan's eyes were cold, his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at Yao Hanqing, his lips were pursed, and his eyebrows gradually became solemn.

Zhao Ruisheng, how could it be Zhao Ruisheng? If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't remember the name at all, but it was Zhao Ruisheng - wasn't it Zhao Ruisheng who sent the news of the eunuch's filial piety to send flowers and birds to select women?

Who knew that after the East Window incident, the first person to die was Zhao Ruisheng, and he died or under the hooves of the eunuchs. He thought it was a coincidence, but last night the thunder sounded, the imperial tomb was restless, and a good son died unexpectedly, and it turned out to be his daughter.

Is this a coincidence? Or is there another mystery?

Yao Hanqing also knew that this matter was not simple, and he continued: "No matter what the situation is, this matter is bound to involve Shizhong and the Zhou family. And Zhao Yu's father, Zhao Ruisheng, has had an exchange with you. If this matter is really going to make trouble, it is impossible for Jing Zhaoyin's side to stop it. If this can't be done as an accident, then what awaits will be the overthrow of the Zhou family.

Guan knew that although there was a matter of flowers and birds over there, he didn't see much downfall, and because of the matter of trade with Xirong, even Shizhong and Meng Gong had to give him three points. He is already proud enough now, if he is allowed to bite the Zhou family again, he is afraid that the Zhou family will be in danger. ”

If this matter is really characterized as deliberate, then the first to be suspected is the Zhao family, and it will not be difficult to find out the connection between Zhou Shuzhan and Zhao Ruisheng. When the time comes, if you want to put a big hat on Zhou Shuzhan, it will be easy.

Is there a situation behind this? It doesn't matter what the purpose is, the important thing is that if Zhou's Zhou doesn't follow this game, he can only be ranked out of the chess game.

It was wrong from the start, and all of them, along with the saints, were all trapped in a game of chess, and now they knew it was a game, but they had to jump into it.

Zhou Shuzhan pinched the corner of the table, he didn't know that Yao Hanqing's words were reasonable. It's just that Zhou never boasted of being a chess player, but he didn't think that one day he would become the son of someone else's chessboard!

At this time, the most dissatisfied was not the Zhou family, who was reduced from a chess player to a chess piece, but the young genius who has always had the name of a chess player, but has always been a chess player.

When Emperor Yuan Jia returned to Taiji Palace, he couldn't help but smash the palace utensils to vent his dissatisfaction.

When the queen came, a piece of porcelain was blooming at her feet.

Jiang Muyi frowned, looked at the palace people around him, and the palace people retreated.

The angry Emperor Yuan Jia looked at the queen who walked in the door, although he was not as calm as before, but he never smashed the utensils again, he sat on the side and said nothing.

"The Holy One doesn't like these porcelains, so it's just a matter of asking people to remove them, so why do they still drop them? If you damage the dragon's body, won't the gain outweigh the loss? Jiang Muyi deliberately misinterpreted Emperor Yuan Jia's original intention, she approached Emperor Yuan Jia, and was about to reach out for Emperor Yuan Jia's temples as before, but was unexpectedly pushed away by Emperor Yuan Jia.

Jiang Muyi was a little surprised, but she quickly restrained her emotions, "The concubine knows that the saint is not depressed, but the matter has come to this point, and it is difficult to change the facts?" No matter how angry you are, it will only help, and in the end, it will only harm the holy body. ”

"Does the queen really know that I am not depressed?" Emperor Yuan Jia sneered and looked up.

Jiang Muyi was stunned.

"If the queen really knew my heart, she would not say such a thing." Emperor Yuan Jia stood up and looked at the queen condescendingly, everything has not been going well recently, he is already full of resentment, whether it is Meng Songyan or Zhou Fa, all of them are important ministers of the country, and he can't move if he is highly respected.

"I listened to the queen's advice, let the palace maid out of the palace, met Gu Lingxu, and added Xichang to show benevolence. But the result? What about Gu Lingxu? arrogant and domineering, dare to be so rude in front of me. That's it, I don't care. But I listened to the words of the queen and did benevolent things, why did I still rumor, saying that I was not worthy of the position, so God thundered the emperor's tomb and sent down heavenly punishment! The queen said that she knew my heart, but she didn't explain it as I explained, why is this? ”

Emperor Yuan Jia said that, he shook off the queen's half-held hand on his arm, who knew that he didn't control the strength of his hand, and actually taught Jiang Muyi to fall to the ground, and the broken porcelain piece on the ground pierced into her hand, and blood soon flowed out.

"Hiss-" Jiang Muyi couldn't help but groan, she raised her eyes to look at Emperor Yuan Jia, and hurriedly said, "Holy ......"

There was a moment of weakness in Emperor Yuanjia's eyes. With a cold face, he interrupted Jiang Muyi's words that he was about to speak, "That's it!" That's it! The queen thinks about it herself. ”

After saying that, he left the Taiji Palace.
