Chapter 338: Questioning
Emperor Daxia's attitude was clear: "This matter seems to have nothing to do with you, you have traveled all the way, it can be regarded as a hard work, come here, give a seat!" ”
Emperor Daxia still valued Lu Xuanqing and Yue Lingjun, and immediately asked the prince to give him a seat, and the prince did things neatly, so he moved two mahogany chairs and put them next to him.
Yue Lingjun and Lu Xuanqing didn't shirk it, they were really tired from coming all the way, so let's sit down for a while, because it seems that this matter can't be over for a while.
Mo Si and the others continued to kneel on the ground, they were originally the closest minions around the emperor, but no matter how close they were, they were also minions, can minions and courtiers be treated the same?
Apparently not.
Emperor Daxia was still very angry, looking at Mo Er as if he was looking at a dog that bit him, and he wanted to kill him as soon as possible.
Mo Er also felt the surging killing intent in the emperor's eyes, and he was anxious to defend himself, but he was stopped by Mo Si.
Finally, Emperor Daxia slowly spoke: "What else, let's talk about it together, it seems that on the way back, I'm afraid it won't be so peaceful." ”
When he said this, Emperor Daxia's tone seemed calm, but everyone was aware of the waves hidden under the calm water.
Mo Si's voice was a little tight, but he still didn't dare to take it seriously from beginning to end, and told the matter without the slightest concealment, including what Mo Er said about Yue Lingjun at the beginning.
Mo Er admitted this matter personally, but when Mo Si said that Mo Er had a private relationship with the Nine Emperor Princes, Mo Er finally couldn't sit still, and he was anxious to justify.
"Your Majesty! The villain and the Nine Emperors did not communicate in private, and asked the emperor to be aware of everything, the villain was wronged, and the villain didn't know why Mo Liu said this, but the villain felt that Mo Liu must have bad intentions. ”
"The villain targeted Yue Lingjun before...... No, the villain admits to the matter of the general, but the villain is also because he was bewitched by Mo Liu! ”
Emperor Daxia also seemed to be willing to listen to Mo Er's defense, and let Mo Er's rumbling and hurried defense without interrupting.
For a while, in the huge imperial study, only Mo Er's voice was left, and when it came to the back, Mo Er made a summary.
"Your Majesty, the villain did it, the villain is willing to take responsibility and consequences, but what the villain has not done, the villain will resolutely not admit it, not because the villain is unwilling to be punished, the villain is for the emperor, for the sake of my Daxia Jiangshan Society!"
"If there is someone behind Mo Liu's instructions, the sinister intentions of the person behind it can be seen, first let Mo Liu trick me into doing something to the general, and then, let Mo Liu frame me for having private contact with the Nine Emperors, this person's intentions are vicious, and I hope the emperor will see it! This person must not be let go! ”
After speaking, Mo Er kowtowed his head heavily, and his forehead turned red all of a sudden.
"Finished?" Emperor Daxia asked slowly.
Mo Er trembled, but nodded seriously.
"The villain is finished."
Emperor Daxia looked at Lu Xuanqing and Yue Lingjun, who were speechless: "Lu Xuanqing, Yue Lingjun, tell me about the situation, is this the case?" Are there any omissions or misinterpretations? ”
Yue Lingjun and Lu Xuanqing glanced at each other, and finally Yue Lingjun stood up and arched his hand: "Back to the emperor's words, everything Mo Er said is true, but for Mo Liu's situation, the minister doesn't know, and the emperor really needs to be clear." ”
Yue Lingjun clearly didn't want to get involved in this matter, and Lu Xuanqing hurriedly followed.
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this matter is very strange, that Mo Liu's death is too coincidental, and his death is too good, and now that there is no proof of death, all doubts are locked on Mo Er's body, but if what Mo Er said is true, then the person behind this is really ......."
Lu Xuanqing didn't finish speaking, but everyone present understood his unfinished words, and the people behind this were afraid that it was not simple, and they obviously had bad intentions.
No matter what the other party wanted to do, he stretched out his hand to the royal shadow guard and bought off a shadow guard, and now he is letting this shadow guard bewitch Mo Er, provoke infighting, assassinate Yue Lingjun, and sabotage the great plan of Great Xia to resist the enemy, which is already a big crime of killing the head.
But since the other party can buy one ink six, can they buy more shadow guards? In case another one is bought to kill the emperor, it is also possible.
All in all, if this person is not found out, or this matter is not investigated, the emperor himself will not be able to sleep well.
Emperor Daxia obviously thought of this layer as well, his face was a little ugly, and he glanced at Mo Si and Mo Er coldly.
"Excellent! It seems that your royal shadow guards really need to be cleaned up, but Mo Liu is dead, and you can't ask a dead person, since that's the case, then ask the living, come on, and announce the Nine Emperors to the imperial study. ”
"Since Mo Er claims that he has no private contact with the Nine Emperor Princes, then you can confront each other on the spot, if what Mo Liu said is true, then I also want to ask, what does this good son of mine want to do when he reaches out to the Royal Shadow Guard!"
The atmosphere in the study room instantly turned cold.
Calling the Nine Emperor Princes over, this matter has escalated, it is very serious, it seems that the emperor really doesn't want to let it go gently.
Lu Xuanqing and Yue Lingjun glanced at each other, and then Yue Lingjun arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this matter involves the royal shadow guard, as well as His Royal Highness the Prince, it is the emperor's family affairs, and it seems a little inappropriate for the minister to continue here, so the minister wants to go back and wash up for the time being, and wait for the emperor's announcement." ”
Lu Xuanqing was a little dumbfounded, Yue Lingjun's words were too straightforward, can't he just find an excuse?
The people present were all smart people, Yue Lingjun proposed to leave at this time, and they all knew that it was to avoid suspicion, why did he say it so clearly?
Emperor Daxia cleared his throat, smiled and said: "Prime Minister Lu, general, go down, go back to rest, wash up, repair, I am calling you over, I will deal with some housework first." ”
After all, Emperor Daxia also wants to be faced, as Yue Lingjun said, this is their royal family matter, Yue Lingjun and Lu Xuanqing stay here, that is to watch the excitement, Emperor Daxia does not want to be seen by his own courtiers, so it is better to send people back first.
But Lu Xuanqing refused and gave up.
"Your Majesty, the minister is not tired on the way, and he knows a lot about the things on the road, so he can use it as a personal witness if he stays, and let the general go back to rest."
Yue Lingjun glanced at Lu Xuanqing, and the other party gave him a look back, tacitly, Yue Lingjun knew that Lu Xuanqing stayed because he wanted to find out the next handling situation.
And this matter is really interesting, it involves the Nine Emperor Prince Lu Xuanqing, and he can also inquire about the information if he stays, so Yue Lingjun didn't say anything more and went out.
Emperor Daxia thought about it, and didn't let Lu Xuanqing leave again, just stay, anyway, Lu Xuanqing knows a lot about the private affairs of the court, and it seems that there are not many more.
Yue Lingjun left the imperial study like this, and just went down the steps, he saw that not far from the opposite side, the Nine Emperor Princes were being taken by the prince to rush here, and they came very quickly.
Yue Lingjun strode forward without squinting, originally wanting to ignore the Nine Emperor Princes and continue to move forward, but the Nine Emperor Princes took the lead in stopping Yue Lingjun and directly stepped forward to block his way.
"General, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style!"
The Nine Emperor Princes had a polite smile on his face, but he seemed to be a little haggard, and his momentum could not suppress Yue Lingjun.
Yue Lingjun raised his eyebrows and sweated slightly, which could be regarded as a return gift, and his tone was meaningful.
"The Nine Emperors are really powerful, but I haven't seen them for a few years, and they are even more powerful, and when I enter the imperial study to see the emperor, the Nine Emperors had better stand straighter, after all, they are not afraid of shadows."
The Nine Emperors felt a sigh in their hearts, although the emperor suddenly summoned him to the imperial study, the Nine Emperors guessed that the situation might be a little wrong, but now when they heard Yue Lingjun's words, the Nine Emperors became even more anxious.
Originally, when the Nine Emperor Princes came, they wondered if the emperor was looking for him, whether it was to vent his anger to Yue Lingjun, after all, the assassins sent out did have his share.
But Yue Lingjun is gone now, which shows that the things to be talked about have nothing to do with Yue Lingjun, the Nine Emperor Princes couldn't guess for a while, and they wanted to investigate, but Yue Lingjun didn't say much, raised his feet and left.
Looking at Yue Lingjun's back, the Nine Emperors' eyes were deep.
"Nine Emperor Princes, hurry up, the emperor should be in a hurry."
The prince reminded loudly.
The Nine Emperor Princes smiled reluctantly, but he did listen to Yue Lingjun's advice, although he hated Yue Lingjun and wanted to kill Yue Lingjun as soon as possible, but Yue Lingjun's personality, he would still have some understanding.
Since the other party said so, in addition to being yin and yang, there is a high probability that he is really reminding him, at least it is impossible to play him on this kind of thing.
The Nine Emperors followed the prince into the imperial study with his head held high, and after entering, he found that only Lu Xuanqing was sitting on his knees.
The Nine Emperor Princes felt a sigh in his heart, and when he recognized that the people kneeling on the ground were all royal shadow guards, the doubts and worries in his heart became even heavier.
The royal shadow guard has always been very favored by his father, but now he is kneeling together, what happened?
The Nine Emperors couldn't figure it out, so they could only salute first: "The sons see their father!" ”
The Nine Emperors knelt down, but the Great Xia Emperor didn't let him get up, looked at Mo Si and said.
"Mo Si, you are explaining the matter concisely, the main lord is here, let him listen, is there anything missing."
The Nine Emperors beat a drum in their hearts, what happened? Why does my father speak in a weird way......
Mo Si glanced at the Nine Emperor Princes lightly, and then said the matter from beginning to end, only picking the key points, listening and listening, the Nine Emperor Princes' expressions changed from confusion at the beginning to horror at the end.
When he first heard that Mo Er was targeting Yue Lingjun, the Nine Emperor Princes were really confused, because everyone knew that the Royal Shadow Guards had never shown their attitude towards anything, and their attitude represented the emperor's attitude.
However, the father obviously asked the royal shadow guard to pick up Yue Lingjun back, so it was definitely impossible to arrange another shadow guard to attack Yue Lingjun, so this Mo Er aimed at Yue Lingjun, either their own intentions, or, it was someone else's instigation!
The Nine Emperors never thought that the person who instructed him was actually himself, how could he not know that he had instructed Mo Er to do such a thing? He didn't have any contact with anyone in the Royal Shadow Guard.
When Mo Si finished speaking, the Nine Emperor Princes immediately defended themselves in a hurry.
"My father has been wronged! Erchen didn't! ”
Emperor Daxia stared at the Nine Emperor Princes with deep eyes: "You didn't have it?" You don't have anything? Didn't you have private contact with Moji? Nine Emperor Princes, I will give you a chance, if you confess honestly now, you will be lightly punished, but if you really don't admit it, if you really let me find out something......"
Emperor Daxia didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew what the emperor meant, if the Nine Emperors insisted on going their own way, they would still quibble and refuse to admit it.
