Chapter 1052: Negotiation

used to be a superior official and a subordinate, Mao Wei once thought that he could not subvert the position, but now, one is a "prisoner under the order", and the other is a "chief judge", how can the voice of "Engong" be called, Mao Dayin's face was extremely cold for a while, but Lu Li no longer treated him politely, he slightly lifted his robe, sat down, and his smile seemed to be careless, and he was extraordinarily graceful and indifferent.

Mao Wei tried his best to hold up the posture of the past, but he didn't know that the skin and flesh on his cheeks had fallen down these days, even if he raised his chin high, he couldn't hide his embarrassment and frustration: "Sure enough, it's Princess Jin!" You waited for the old man to live, just to deal with He Shen, but although the old man hated He Shen for destroying the whole door, the princess of Jin didn't save him when he saw death, how could the old man be willing to use him? Xue Shaoyin, please go back, between the old man and you, there is nothing to say. ”

Of course, this is not to show that he would rather die than give in, otherwise Mao Wei would not have been cautious and politely called Lu Li's official position, and he would have scolded him by name and surname, he said this is nothing more than wanting to grasp the initiative in negotiations, but he is indeed unwilling to talk more nonsense with Lu Li, a "pawn", and wants to strive for direct negotiations with Princess Jin, so as to maintain the only remaining self-esteem.

"Death or not?" Lu Li smiled slightly, his eyes full of ridicule: "Mao Wei, you ask yourself what you have always done, which one is worth saving?" ”

This is simply a knife into Mao Wei's chest, which only punctured his reason in one fell swoop, and leaned over to shoot the case, glaring angrily: "Although the old man has a dispute of interests with the King of Jin, how innocent are the female dependents and immature?" You will kill me, it can be described as vicious and shameless! ”

"Innocent?" Lu Li smiled again, and even bowed his head: "The female relatives of the Mao clan may not have committed a heinous crime, and the immature children are indeed innocent, but it is said that 'cause and effect are true, and retribution is unpleasant', and now the disaster of destroying the door is really self-inflicted, Mao Wei, are you forgetful, don't you remember that you also harmed the human race to destroy the family and destroy the evil deeds back then?" ”

Mao Wei was like an empowerment, sat back in a daze, and sneered in half a voice: "Xue Shaoyin is good, Xue Qian endured humiliation for several years, intending to instigate the first emperor to overthrow Pei Zheng's case, and finally failed, Xue Shaoyin stepped on Xue Qian as a stepping stone, and released the suspicion of the Queen Mother, so he soared, I don't want the Queen Mother to be deceived by you this time, Jingzhao Xue and the family, have never been thieves and plotted against each other!" ”

"Mao Wei, so far, you still don't know how to repent?"

"Xue Xuanzhi, the old man presided over the trial of Pei Zheng's case as the secretary of Dali Temple, and the evidence is conclusive, what is the fault? If you want to find out the truth of the year, the old man will tell you the truth of the year, but if you try to coerce the old man to distort right and wrong and defile the queen mother for the crime of reversing the case, you can't! ”

After saying goodbye, he shook his face to the side, with an unwavering attitude, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: I didn't expect Xue Luli to detain me for Pei Zheng's old case, which is simply wishful thinking, but now that I am subject to him, I still have to think of perfunctory entertainment with him, and wait for the opportunity to get out, even if I get out, where will I go in the future?

Mao Wei was thinking about getting out of the way, but Lu Li got up and left his seat, pacing outside the door, as if because of Mao Wei's tough attitude, he also hesitated, and said after a while: "Today's sun is shining, Mao Gong is better than sitting with a certain person under the porch, chatting, maybe more peaceful." He softened his tone and resumed some courtesy.

Mao Wei was overjoyed, thinking that he had the upper hand, and became more and more pretentious, although he sat down on the desk set up under the corridor according to his words, his words were aggressive: "Although Jingzhao Xue and Jingzhao Pei have a good relationship by marriage, they don't believe that the Pei Zheng clan has a plan to rebel, but the facts are the facts, Pan Bo still dominates Yingzhou today, can Xue Shaoyin turn a blind eye?" Xue Shaoyin's intention to rehabilitate Pei Zheng is to be the enemy of the first emperor and the queen mother, but I am afraid that even the princess of Jin will not know that Xue Shaoyin has such evil intentions! ”

I didn't want to say that as soon as the words fell, Mao Wei suddenly heard a "grandfather", and when he looked at the side, he saw the child running towards him with a small hand waving his face outside the corridor, which was actually the eldest great-grandson who disappeared - his only surviving flesh and blood now!

Mao Wei got up "Huo", but saw that the assassin who was guarding him here picked up the arrest, and didn't care how the arrest was crying, and walked in three or two steps and never saw a shadow again, Mao Wei was anxious, waiting to chase the general, and listened to Lu Li say slowly: "What was the truth back then, I have already found out, and I have no intention of listening to your accomplices' strong arguments, Mao Wei, your family absconded for fear of crime, and did not want to be killed by the king of Shu, the queen mother knew that you had died, but because of insufficient evidence, she could not punish the king of Shu, but she would forgive you, the son of a sinner?" Don't you think that you can be free, and make a comeback, if you still pity the only remaining bloodline, and finally never cut off your children and grandchildren, sit down, how about we say something really meaningful? ”

"Xue Xuanzhi, what do you want?" Mao Wei had no choice but to sit down, gritted his teeth and asked, but he was already strong on the outside.

"I know that you are just an accomplice, Xie Raoping, Yuan Dezhi, and even He Shen, the king of Shu, are not the masterminds, the reason why Pei Zheng and the two clans were unjustly killed, Wei Fang is the culprit, loyal and unjust, since he should be rehabilitated, the culprit should be executed, I want you to be able to testify against Empress Dowager Wei as the main envoy when Pei Zheng's case is retried one day."

"Delusional, you are delusional!" Mao Weilian's serial attack case: "Do you want me to admit in court that I have defaced the Pei Zheng family, and the old man still has a way to live?" Xue Xuanzhi, you are letting the old man die! ”

"So far, you still have to live?" Lu Li sneered: "Well, it wasn't that you had to be in the first place, so it would be easy to let your family reunite with the Netherworld." ”

After speaking, as soon as he raised his hand, Mao Wei immediately heard the crying of his great-grandson, he was completely depressed, and said weakly: "Xue Shaoyin, don't be angry, you should think about it in the long run." ”

"After the day of Mao Gong, if he confesses in court, for the innocent Zhaoxue, and tells the instructions of the culprit, although the death penalty cannot be escaped, but the first person has merit, it is not impossible to win forgiveness, such as your great-grandson, you do not need to change your name and surname in the future, so, it is also considered that the family has a queen, before you wait for the spirit card, the place where you are buried, and the descendants sacrifice and worship." Lu Li saw that Mao Wei finally gave in, no longer threatened, and only talked about interests.

Of course, this is not exactly in line with Mao Wei's expectations, but he also understands that he has no choice, he is already old, even if he is free again, it is difficult to have children, not to mention that if he does not give in, he and his great-grandson will die immediately?! Although Lu Li did not allow him to be prosperous and rich, he has a family and a descendant in front of the grave, and perhaps there is hope to revitalize the family, which is of course also very attractive to Mao Wei.

But Mao Wei also knew in his heart that Xue Luli had an indispensable premise for promising this benefit, that is, to overthrow the ruling mother and retry Pei Zheng's case.

"Xue Shaoyin is obviously not from the Shu royal family, is it ...... Do you want to get rid of the king of Shu first and coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven? With all due respect, Xue Shaoyin's plan is very difficult, and the chances of winning are almost nothing. Mao Wei no longer defended the Queen Mother, but since he had to land and leave the ship, of course he didn't want even this ship to be sunk: "Princess Jin will not go against the Queen Mother, if you know that Xue Shaoyin has such a different heart, she will not allow it in the first place, if Xue Shaoyin wants to succeed, he should ...... it."

The words "strike first is strong" could not be spoken, Mao Wei was shocked to see that the ridicule on Lu Li's face became more and more obvious, and he once again had an empowering: "Could it be that Princess Jin is actually ...... Unexpectedly!!! ”

"How Xue acts, don't worry about Mao Gong, Xue only reminds Mao Gong to remember, never forget, so that the life and death of great-grandson is only in your thoughts, Jinyang is not a place where Mao Gong stays for a long time, three days later, someone escorted Mao Gong away, and I hope that Mao Gong will not embarrass the escort."

Mao Wei realized that Princess Jin had already had a plan to seize the throne, and he was shocked in his heart, seeing that Xue Xuanzhi refused to say more, but he was unwilling to give up the opportunity for his own interests, and said to himself: "The Queen Mother does not trust Princess Jin, if Princess Jin wants to succeed, she should also be careful with her eyes and ears, such as Yuan's concubines......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Li had already gotten up to leave, Mao Wei looked ahead in a daze, and muttered to himself: "Although the Queen Mother is jealous of the King of Shu, she will never tolerate the King of Jin. Yes, Princess Jin is only afraid that she will be vigilant, otherwise she will not intend to use Pei Zheng's old case to overthrow the Empress Dowager, but if she implements an administrative dΓ©tat, she has no military power and has no chance of winning, so Princess Jin should not let the court take back the military power of Yunzhou, but why did she give up Wang Zhili? Could it be ...... Wu Wei Hou! ”

Until this time, Mao Wei didn't dare to imagine that He Ye, the king of Jin, had the heart to seize the throne, he couldn't figure it out, how did the princess of Jin persuade Wuwei Hou to surrender to Cheng, but unfortunately no one solved his doubts, he could only be trapped in seclusion from then on, and survived, until the princess of Jin got his wish, he was expected to return to Chang'an and question the Empress Dowager Wei, but on that day, it was also his death!

also said that Eleven Niang, in fact, did not have any scruples about Mao Wei, but only because he was afraid of He Ye and worried that He Ye would be suspicious, so he decided to let Lu Li negotiate with Mao Wei.

The envoy of the king of Shu killed people and set fire on the same day, which naturally alarmed the surrounding farmers, and the farmers first thought that they had accidentally walked the water, and rushed to the intention of putting out the fire, only to see that it was a murder case, and immediately reported to the official, so Lu Li and other Taiyuan officials realized that not only Mao Wei was missing, but even many family members did not know where to go, and went to the scene of the murder, vaguely argued that several corpses were Mrs. Mao, Mao Tend, etc., but the vast majority of them had been burned to scorched bones, and their faces were difficult to distinguish. Of course, the envoy and Zhineng who knew that Mao Wei was not dead could not come forward to expose the truth, so it was natural for Taiyuan Mansion to abscond with Mao Wei's fear of crime but was killed by the enemy and closed the case and reported to the court.

Empress Dowager Wei thought that Mao Wei was dead, and even more determined that the "enemy" was the king of Shu, although she was not without chagrin and had to continue to tolerate it, but she also felt that Mao Wei was self-defeating, of course, she refused to blame the eleven niang who still had a place to use for this abandoned son for negligence, so she simply convicted Mao Wei and ordered the arrest of several "accomplices" of Mao Wei's son and escorted them to Kyoto to be executed.

Eleven Niang did not worry about explaining to the Empress Dowager Wei, but she had to be careful to deal with He Ye, and excused: "I intended to reveal the news to the King of Shu, just to lure him into the urn, and I also noticed that Mao Wei intended to abscond, and even concluded that the King of Shu was using Zhi Neng this time, and this was not the best time to eradicate the King of Shu, so I didn't care about Mao Wei's life and death, thinking that if he was destroyed by the King of Shu, it would aggravate the Queen Mother's jealousy of the King of Shu, and it would be beneficial and harmless to His Royal Highness's great cause, There is no need to stop the King of Shu's plan to destroy his mouth, but to focus on stalking, who would have thought that Zhineng would be extremely cunning and get rid of tracking. ”

This is not completely false, Eleven Niang did order Baiyu to track Zhi Neng, but unfortunately it did not work.

Originally, Eleven Niang decided to deal with everything, and she would never report to He Ye for permission in advance, although this time it was her own opinion, but there was also an excuse to perfunctory the past: "Your Highness has just worked hard because of the First World War in Youzhou, and recently I have been paying attention to the movements of the generals in Yunzhou, I regard Mao Wei's matter as trivial, and I think it is not worth distracting His Highness." ”

He Ye really didn't suspect anything else, and of course he didn't complain about getting rid of Zhi Neng, but comforted: "As long as Guangyang's enemy is still under the supervision of the princess, don't worry about uprooting Zhi Neng." ”

However, when Shi Niang intended to visit Wang Hengshi and say goodbye to him, when he acted alone to threaten Mao Wei, He Ye actually obstructed it, and Shi Niang had no other excuse to travel alone, of course, she didn't need He Ye's permission to go out of the house, but she was worried that not giving an explanation would make He Ye suspicious, so she had to let Lu Li come forward.
