Chapter 176: Jiang Kuo, who has no way back
"My lord, the villain's name is Li Jiang, and he is not a remnant of the Western Frontier, let alone the royal guard of the Western Frontier in the mouth of the adult!"
Li Jiang looked at Jiang Kuo, fading away from the obedience of Fang Cai, but looking back without fear.
In an instant, Jiang Kuo realized that the person he had been controlling was derailed!
He always thought that Li Jiang was the deepest chess piece he had planted beside Su Lixiao, but in fact, it was very likely that this Li Jiang was no longer the same as he had encountered before.
"Jiang Aiqing, is this person the so-called guard of the Western Frontier royal family in your mouth?"
His Majesty looked at Jiang Kuo condescendingly, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Your Majesty, this Li Jiang is really lying to you!"
"He just wants to escape death, that's why he will lie in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please believe the old minister, if you verify your identity in this palace, you can know that the old minister is absolutely not falsely accused!"
Jiang Kuo hurriedly explained.
He was an old fox, and naturally he had thought about what to do if Li Jiang betrayed him.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening, when he went to see Li Jiang, he had already laid a Gu worm on Li Jiang's body!
Now, as long as His Majesty verifies his identity in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, even if Li Jiang betrays him, he will not be able to argue.
"Jiang Aiqing, Lone can test himself in front of Li Jiang in this court, but if you are still lying to Lone, you can't afford the consequences!"
His Majesty reminded Jiang Kuo in front of him.
Some people are obsessed and have obviously reached a dead end, but they just don't want to give up until the Yellow River.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal to His Majesty, and he can see it every day!"
Jiang Kuo swore and spoke.
Such words made His Majesty's eyes look at Jiang Kuo a little more obscure.
He had a fight with Jiang Kuojunchen, but this person is now completely opposed to him......
"Someone is coming, Imperial Doctor Xuan is here to check Li Jiang's body."
His Majesty gave an order.
The Imperial Hospital of the Imperial Hospital is hurrying in.
He was an imperial doctor who usually looked for medical advice outside the court, but today he suddenly came to this hall and couldn't help but be nervous.
"Imperial Doctor, I want you to see Li Jiang kneeling in this hall, and whether he has the mark of the Western Frontier royal guard on his body."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen must check carefully!"
The Imperial Hospital was gathering its mind and began to examine Li Jiang's body.
Jiang Kuo on the side began to get nervous.
In fact, he was originally very confident in the matter of verifying his body, because the Gu worm on Li Jiang's body was put by him, but when he saw Su Lixiao standing aside very calmly, the confidence in Jiang Kuo's heart collapsed little by little.
Therefore, every step of the imperial doctor's inspection made Jiang Kuo very nervous.
Standing on the side of Su Lixiao, Su Chen'an, also became uneasy because of the tense atmosphere in the hall.
"Back to Your Majesty, the person you asked me to inspect does not have the marks of the Western Imperial Guards on his body, but he has a lot of sword slashes on his body, like old wounds he has received on the battlefield."
The imperial doctor's words directly filled Jiang Kuo's eyes with disbelief!
How can it be?
How could it be like this?
He clearly remembered that he had put that Gu worm on Li Jiang's body, and logically speaking, Li Jiang's body would definitely have the mark of the Western Xinjiang Royal Guards!
Jiang Kuo was puzzled.
He began to suspect that the Gu worm of the Western Frontier Royal Escort that he had obtained had been manipulated.
And in fact, the Gu worm that Jiang bracketed on Li Jiang's body did have an effect on Li Jiang's body as he hoped.
It's just that later, Xi Qingyan lured out the Gu worms in his body for Li Jiang.
Because the insect is no longer in his body, even if Jiang Kuo still uses the previous method to verify it, Li Jiang's body will not have the same reaction as the royal guards of the Western Frontier.
"This can't be? How could this be?"
Jiang Kuo felt particularly incredulous and subconsciously spoke.
"Master Jiang, what do you mean by the impossibility that you just said?" Su Lixiao spoke at the right time, he looked at Jiang Kuo in front of him, and only felt that the other party was no different from a clown who jumped off the beam.
"No...... Nope!"
Jiang Kuo realized that he had just said something wrong, and he quickly shut up.
"Li Jiang was a soldier who followed the main hall and loyally defended his family and country, and after he was injured, the main hall took care of his bravery on the battlefield, so he left people in the palace."
"Lord Jiang Kuo, you are now pointing to a soldier who has shed blood and sweat for the country, saying that he is a member of the Western Frontier Imperial Family, is this too much?"
As soon as Su Lixiao's words came out, the generals in the court blamed Li Jiang one after another.
"Lord Jiang, although you are a favored minister of Your Majesty, you can't slander a soldier like this, do you know that if there were no soldiers fighting bloodily on the battlefield, where would you be able to make a big fuss here?"
"You people who can only play tricks in the court, are you bullying us generals without your mouth? I tell you, you don't want to slander the soldiers here, your majesty's eyes are bright!"
Li Jiang's incident made the generals in the court full of hatred for Jiang Kuo.
Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
They were originally unaccustomed to these people who relied on playing tricks to get *** Houlu above the court, in their opinion, the credit should be real and real, and they should be exchanged for the pain all over their bodies!
"Okay, don't make a fuss about this matter, Lone is the monarch of this country, so he naturally protects the people of the entire country."
His Majesty saw that there was a dispute in the court, and came forward to reconcile.
"As for this Li Jiang, Lone is naturally to be rewarded, and such loyal and brave soldiers are the most important people to guard Lone Jiangshan Sheji."
His Majesty glanced at Jiang Kuo and rewarded Li Jiang.
"Li Jiang, I will reward you with a hundred acres of fertile land and a thousand taels of silver, and you will live your life well in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Jiang didn't expect that he would be rewarded by His Majesty today, and his heart fluctuated for a while, and he was full of emotion.
"Your Majesty, the villain has been by His Royal Highness the Prince's side in the past, and I want to serve His Highness in the Prince's Mansion in the future, hoping that Your Majesty will be fulfilled."
Li Jiang felt that Su Lixiao was his benefactor, and in order to repay his kindness, he would always protect Su Lixiao.
"Okay, I'm alone."
His Majesty saw that Li Jiang was single-minded about Su Lixiao, and he did not stop him.
"Your Majesty, when the villain enters this hall today, there is actually one more thing to explain to Your Majesty!"
Li Jiang knelt in front of the emperor again and spoke seriously.
"Okay, you say."
"Your Majesty, the villain is here today to sue Lord Jiang Kuo of the current dynasty, he instigated the villain to frame His Royal Highness the Prince, and the villain has evidence that Lord Jiang Kuo bought the villain!"
Li Jiang's words instantly reversed the direction of the wind in the court.
Originally, Jiang Kuo sued Su Lixiao in the court, but now, the coachman of the prince's mansion sued Jiang Kuo for plotting against him!
"Your Majesty, this person is telling the truth, he is very close to His Royal Highness the Prince, and he must have been instigated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bite me back!"
Jiang Kuo saw the reversal of the situation, and his heart suddenly panicked.
"All of this today is a trap set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty, the old minister has definitely not done what Li Jiang did!"
As soon as Jiang Kuo's words came out, Su Lixiao smiled.
"Master Jiang Kuo, don't you feel that your words and deeds are inconsistent? You keep saying that the temple has calculated against you, but haven't you forgotten that you were the one who sued the temple for rebellion in the court today?"
「……!」
Jiang Kuo was choked by a long-awaited sentence.
Today's events are indeed his miscalculations.
But for him now, there is no more
There is a way out.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far-sighted and scheming, if you deliberately instigate it, the old minister is naturally likely to say the wrong thing in this court."
Jiang Kuo refused to admit it, trying to convince His Majesty that everything that happened today was a conspiracy.
"I've only seen this coachman once in the Prince's Mansion, Your Highness the Prince, do you think that a person who has only one side to me can accuse me?"
Jiang Kuo stiffened his neck, pretending to be calm, and resolutely refused to admit that he knew Li Jiang.
"Master Jiang, don't be in a hurry, since you firmly believe that you have been wronged, why not wait for Li Jiang to finish everything he has to say?"
Su Lixiao sneered and looked at Jiang Kuo.
"If you are really innocent, my father's eyes are clear, and it is naturally impossible for you to be wronged!"
Attack your shield with your spear.
The long-awaited direct blockage made Jiang Guan unable to come to the table.
Li Jiang saw that Jiang Kuo had nothing to say anymore, so he made it clear in front of everyone that he and Jiang Kuo knew each other.
"Your Majesty, the villain and Lord Jiang Kuo are not only one side of the same coin, many years ago, His Majesty sent Lord Jiang Kuo to the frontier as a supervisor, and the villain met Lord Jiang at that time."
"At that time, the villain was seriously injured, and then he was rescued in a coma, and afterwards Lord Jiang Kuo said that he was my savior, in fact, the person who saved me was not him at all, he just wanted me to owe him a life, a favor."
"Later, he placed me in the Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took great care of me, took good care of me, and found out the truth of the day for me, the villain was grateful for the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince, so he said that the person who pretended to be Jiang Kuo had been staying in the Prince's Mansion, but in fact he wanted to see what Lord Jiang Kuo wanted!"
Li Jiang's words made Jiang Kuo's heart completely cold.
He always thought that the chess pieces he had placed next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were still there, but he didn't know that Li Jiang was no longer his person a long time ago.
"Yesterday, Lord Jiang suddenly wanted to see the villain, he forced the villain to eat a kind of Gu worm, and told the villain that the time had come to repay the favor, the villain didn't know why at the time, and today I didn't know what Lord Jiang Kuo's idea was above this court!" ap.
As soon as Li Jiang's words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Jiang Kuo's expression, which was not exciting.
"You're lying! Li Jiang, you don't have to talk about it here!"
"I'm not lying! Your Majesty, although Lord Jiang Kuo has little contact with the villain, the villain is worried that Lord Jiang Kuo will harm me, so he once secretly took away a piece of Master Jiang's family heirloom jade pendant when I met him, and in addition, I have always kept the letters between Lord Jiang and me!"
Li Jiang did not panic at Jiang Kuo's questioning, but did not hurry to take out the evidence from his body.
"Waiter, bring in the evidence!"
When His Majesty heard this, his eyebrows were already covered with wind and rain.
Jiang Kuo originally wanted to be dying, but when he saw the Jiang family's heirloom jade pendant, he knew that today was his death!
"Jiang Kuo, what else do you have to say?"
His Majesty held the jade pendant, and his eyebrows were full of anger.
"Gu once saw an identical jade piece from Concubine Jiang, she said to Gu, this is a token of your Jiang family, if you only have a one-sided relationship with Li Jiang, how could this Jiang family's heirloom jade pendant fall into his hands?"
"And these letters, Jiang Kuo, your handwriting is lonely but you remember it clearly!"
His Majesty was angry in his heart and asked directly.
