Chapter Seventy-Three
Hundreds of candles illuminated the grand hall as bright as day, Gao Wei sat on the dragon chair, more than ten zhang away, a thin figure kneeling below.
Gao Wei looked at him coldly and said, "...... I didn't expect you to have such a great ability, and you can even get a place for the exam. I really underestimate you! ”
The person kneeling below was Zu Ting, Zu Ting's face was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the grass people are also loyal and patriotic!" The grass people want to serve His Majesty, so they participate in this examination, not to be heard, but to be able to share the worries and solve problems for His Majesty! ”
Zu Ting never thought that he would start like this as soon as he met the emperor.
On the way here, where was he still pondering, how to make a fool of himself, how to induce His Majesty to be curious, and how to show his knowledge.
But as soon as he saw Zu Ting, before he could speak, he frightened the angry Majesty. Gao Wei didn't praise him, nor did he ask anything more, he came up and asked where Zu Ting's exam quota came from; Zu Ting is also a chicken thief, and when he came up, he cried bitterly and said that he participated in the examination to solve problems for Gao Wei, a picture of "Your Majesty, you don't understand me, I am very wronged", loyal and impeccable.
Gao Wei smiled secretly in his heart, and had an intuitive understanding of Zu Ting's shamelessness, but his face was still tense, and he was full of murderous energy, even if Zu Ting was blind, he could feel it, so he buried his head lower.
If there is a pit in the ground, he will also dive headlong without hesitation!
Gao Wei sneered and said, "You don't even know that I know it, it's Lou Rui!" ”
Zu Ting's body shook violently, cold sweat broke out on his back, and Gao Wei said again: "But I'm very curious about what deal you have reached with Lou Rui, he has reached this point and he is willing to help you, it seems that he has a lot of tricks in your hands." Zu Ting, you are really good, your eyes are not good, but you are good at it! ”
Zu Ting trembled like chaff, unable to control his hands and feet, even this majesty knows, what else does his majesty not know about the big and small things in this city?
Zu Ting was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, his usual eloquence had lost all his effect, and his heart was now filled with fear, if it was Gao Zhan, he wouldn't be so afraid, because Gao Zhan knew too well, Gao Zhan wouldn't kill him, and he thought he knew this in front of him, but in fact he didn't understand it, maybe he was very gentle, maybe he was even more violent than Gao Yang and Gao Zhan, maybe he would fall to the ground immediately if he said the wrong word!
Zu Ting opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, and finally only stammered: "The grass people are panicked! ”
"Panic? I see that you have no fear! What is Lou Rui's handle in your hands to make him listen to you like this? ”
Zu Ting swallowed his saliva for a long time before he said, "Lou Rui...... He once embezzled millions of salaries ...... the army."
"Zu Ting," Gao Wei looked at him with a faint gaze, "You have to think about it for me before you speak, and I will ask you again, what is Lou Rui's handle in your hands to make him so jealous of you?" ”
On a cold day, Zu Ting's forehead was covered with sweat, and finally he gritted his teeth and said to Gao Wei: "Your Majesty, Lou Rui...... Lou Rui, who used to ......, once participated in the killing of kings! ”
Gao Wei's hand trembled slightly, squinted his eyes at Zu Ting, pointed at him and said, "You ...... just now Say what? ”
Zu Ting took two steps on his knees and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the reason why the grass people can let Lou Rui get the quota for the grass people is actually because the grass people have heard of one thing, the slave who assassinated Emperor Sejong (Gao Cheng)...... In fact, it is the person of Emperor Xianzu (Gao Yang)! Lou Rui was also involved in this matter, that is, he arranged this food slave into the queue and assassinated Emperor Sejong with one blow! ”
"......" Gao Wei looked at him, the back of his hand holding the bookcase was bruised, and his eyes were full of shock.
Even if I had a guess in my heart, it was just a guess after all.
Gao Cheng, who was posthumously revered as Emperor Wenxiang, was killed by a slave the night before he was about to receive Zen. The Eastern Wei Dynasty was on the verge of chaos!
At that time, the whole world thought that the Eastern Wei Emperor Yuan Shanjian did it! But he ignored Gao Yang, who was inconspicuous before, but was "ordered" to take over the Eastern Wei Dynasty Liang!
Gao Wei already had a guess when he saw this period of history, but he didn't believe that Gao Yang, who had no soldiers and no power at that time, could do such a thing, until later, through the study of Gao Yang's statecraft, he found that this Gao Yang was a hidden figure at all, just looking at his skills in marching and governing the country, as well as the cruelty of his siblings, it can be seen that he can really do such a thing!
[Such a thing is simply terrifying......]
Gao Wei took a deep breath, stared at him, and said word by word: "You...... Hu, said, eight, Dao! ”
Zu Ting hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the grass people are not talking nonsense! ”
"-You nonsense!" Gao Wei pointed at Zu Ting and ordered: "Come on, drag this thief who deceives the king out and behead him!" ”
The brocade-clothed armor soldiers stepped forward one after another, pressed their hands on Zu Ting's shoulders, and were about to drag him out and behead him, Zu Ting was frightened, and immediately came to his senses, lying on the ground and smacking his mouth: "The grass people should die, the grass people are talking nonsense, and they took out some market rumors to deceive the saints, please spare the grass people!" ”
The blood was dripping with smoke, and the thin cheeks were swollen high in the blink of an eye.
Gao Wei's anger calmed down, and he looked at him with a faint gaze, and said, "Don't listen to nonsense, let alone talk nonsense......"
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of killing Zu Ting, the brocade-clothed armor soldier retreated to the door and put the long knife into his sheath.
Zu Ting was almost paralyzed with fright, kneeling tremblingly, seeing the emperor speak, he said yes again and again, and he couldn't see the arrogance of raising the bar with Gao Zhan at all.
I want to slap my mouth when I think of what stupid thing I said just now, can I talk nonsense?
If this kind of remarks spread, it will make the whole world laugh at the royal family, and even the whole world will be in chaos!
Even if this is true, it can no longer be true, Cushman & Wakefield has absolutely zero tolerance!
Gao Wei is the emperor, the emperor will not be wrong, Gao Wei said that what is is what it is, since the emperor is not wrong, then the fault can only be his Zu Ting! Nonsense and bullying can only be Zu Ting!
Gao Wei stared at him, and suddenly sneered: "I don't care about Lou Rui's affairs first, I'll talk about you...... Your ancestor is naturally talented, but he doesn't follow the right path, and he knows the law and breaks the law, and he doesn't change it repeatedly!
Even Gaozu, Sejong, and Xianzu don't know how many times they have forgiven you, but you ...... No idea of changing it!
In his more than 20 years in office, he has violated more than 100 laws and disciplines! Among them, corruption is the most serious, and this alone is enough to cut off your head dozens of times! ”
Zu Ting just wanted to ask for guilt but was stopped by Gao Wei, "When the first emperor was in power, you disobeyed the first emperor, and the first emperor did not execute you!"
You later caught up with the traitor Lu Lingxuan, and it was Lu Lingxuan who fished you out of the prison, these things, pile by pile, do you think I don't know?
I came to see that you were blind and didn't care much about you, but what about you? Dare to fish in troubled waters, in a vain attempt to return to the court!
…… colluded with Lu Rebellion, and dared to bully the king! Zu Ting......, I miss you as a veteran of the four dynasties, I can leave you a whole corpse, you can choose a way to die! ”
Zu Ting felt that his brain was blank when he heard the word "whole corpse", and then said eagerly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't kill the grass people!" ”
Gao Wei sneered and asked, "Why can't I kill you?" I don't take pills......"
A glimmer of light flashed in Zu Ting's head, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the grass people have a stomach to learn, these are all true!" Grass Folk ...... The grass people can help His Majesty achieve great things for thousands of years! ”
Over there, Gao Wei's eyes flashed with a triumphant smile, and he said coldly: "Oh? Then tell me, how can you help me achieve great things? ”
