Chapter 115: Zhao Gao's Ending
Seeing that the person who fell to the ground was Zhao Gao, especially since he was still holding a knife in his hand, this was something that no one present expected.
After all, when Meng Yi received His Majesty's order, he just brought Zhao Gao to His Majesty, and now Zhao Gao is doing this as if he wants to fight hard for himself.
"Zhao Gao, what are you doing?!"
Zhao Gao saw the garrison behind Meng Yi, and he knew that he couldn't run today.
Soon, he determined the current situation, and immediately set his eyes on Feng Quji's body, and wanted to use Feng Quji to threaten Meng Yi again to let him go.
But this time, he stood up with a knife covering his chest, and was about to rush towards Feng when he was kicked in the wrist by Meng Yi.
"Ding."
A crisp sound of a knife falling to the ground sounded, Zhao Gao covered his wrist, his facial features twisted together in pain, accompanied by a miserable scream: "Ah-"
Seeing this, the guards at the door immediately subdued Zhao Gao and pressed him to stand in front of Meng Yi.
Zhao Gao's face was still a little unconvinced, and he scolded angrily: "Meng Yi, what are you doing?!" ”
"Feng Quji is the mastermind behind the scenes, why are you arresting me?! Don't catch him! ”
"Are you going to rebel?!"
Seeing that he was still struggling, Meng Yi didn't pay attention to him, but just hurried towards Feng and said, "The right minister will follow me into the palace, this matter needs to be explained by the right minister in front of His Majesty." ”
"Please."
Without giving Feng Quji a chance to refuse, Meng Yi had already turned sideways and gave way, signaling Feng Quji to return to the palace with him to resume his life.
Feng Quji nodded, he knew that he had no right to say no at all, after all, now that Zhao Gao appeared in his mansion, it showed that he and Zhao Gao were privately connected.
If this matter is not explained clearly, I am afraid that he will not have to enter the court in the future.
But Meng Yi saved his life just now, and it stands to reason that he should also go to the palace and inform His Majesty of the matter, and thank Meng Yi by the way.
"Thank you, Lord Meng, the old man will enter the palace with you."
"You're welcome."
After speaking, Meng Yi waved his hand and said loudly: "Take it away!" ”
The group immediately left Feng Quji's courtyard and walked in the direction of the palace.
At this time, the ministers of the court all knew that Zhao Gao had been arrested, some people were worried, and some people were happy, but before the matter was decided, no one would go to the palace to frown, so they could only wait for news in their own mansion.
……
Kirin Hall.
Meng Yi stood respectfully in the main hall and told him the process of finding Zhao Gao in Feng Quji's study just now.
Then, he turned his gaze to Feng Quji, signaling why Zhao Gao would appear next, and why he was holding the knife, it was his turn.
At this moment, Feng Qujian looked at Zhao Gao, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and was entangled in his heart about what to say next?
After all, when it comes to this matter, he and Zhao Gao conspired in the front, and Zhao Gao threatened him in the back, if this matter has to be investigated, he is really hard to say.
But after a while, he made a decision in his heart and pushed everything on Zhao Gao's head!
"Your Majesty, why Zhao Gao left the palace, the old minister will never know!"
"It's just that when the old minister was in the house, he heard that Zhao Gao asked to see him, and the old minister saw him because of the friendship of his colleagues, but he didn't expect him to hold the old minister hostage with a knife, and asked the old man to find a way to send him out of Xianyang City."
"He also wants to threaten the old minister, to kill all the ministers in Xianyang Prison, as well as the evidence in the Tingwei Mansion, and find a way to deal with it, otherwise he will push the matter on the head of the old minister."
"Your Majesty knows, the old minister is no longer asking about the affairs of the court, and the old minister will never dare to do these things."
"But Zhao Gao slandered the old minister so much, and threatened the old minister with a quenched knife to take the assassin's matter on himself, and sent the news to the Mengda people, this is all Zhao Gao's means of slander!"
"Your Majesty wants to be the master of the old minister!"
As he spoke, Feng Quji knelt on the ground, his old face was full of tears, and some people were a little helpless and distressed.
Seeing him behaving like this, Zhao Gao, who was kneeling there, showed a fierce expression, as if he was going to swallow Feng Qu alive.
He didn't expect that this Feng Qujian would actually push everything on his head!
"Your Majesty, this is all slander!"
"The slave has been by His Majesty's side for many years, and His Majesty knows the old slave, and the old slave will never do this kind of thing."
"Your Majesty is aware of it!"
was so troubled by their quarrel that Ying Zheng raised his hand slightly, and the hall immediately fell silent.
"Bring it on!"
As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, two guards walked up with Yan Tong, and when they saw Yan Tong's weak eyes and pale face, they knew that he had said everything.
Seeing this scene, the cold sweat on Zhao Gao's body flowed, then His Majesty would definitely not let him go.
At this moment, he couldn't say anything he wanted to ask for love, because he didn't know what Yingzheng would do with him.
Ying Zheng looked at Yan Tong, looked at Zhao Gao who was kneeling there, and frowned, "Yan Tong, are you guilty?" ”
"The slave is guilty." Yan Tong's whole body was going to lie on the ground, from the moment he was caught, he knew that Zhao Gao was finished, and he would definitely not survive.
It's better to tell everything, and ask for a whole corpse.
"The slave listened to Zhao Gao's words, slandered the ministers of the court, and helped him forge those evidences together, which is all the slave's fault."
"Your Majesty, please punish you."
After speaking, he knelt on the ground with his head bowed, waiting for Yingzheng's order.
And at this moment, Zhao Gao already knew that he had no hope at all, and before Yingzheng could speak, he had already spoken first.
"Your Majesty, the old slave is confused for a while!"
"Please Your Majesty for the sake of the old slave who has served for many years, and spare the old slave's life!"
"Your Majesty...... The old slave knows that he is wrong! ”
"Your Majesty......"
Zhao Gao's crying sound sounded like a heartbreak.
But as if he didn't know it, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
He thought about his relationship with His Majesty for many years, and as Hu Hai's teacher, His Majesty should not be too cruel to him, maybe he would just punish him heavily, and he could still save his life.
But he didn't see it, Ying Zheng looked at him with a strong killing intent in his eyes.
Originally, Ying Zheng still had some feelings for Zhao Gao, but when he thought of what Ran Fang said, he had a strong sense of vigilance against Zhao Gao.
Especially seeing Zhao Gao pleading so much, this is clearly his own character, how can this kind of person stay in the world?
"Zhao Gao's crime is extremely heinous, he framed the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and he was immediately put in prison!"
"Three days later, the punishment of splitting the car will be imposed to set an example!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao's whole person sat down on the ground, he didn't expect His Majesty to execute himself directly, and he didn't even give a chance to investigate and explain.
Without waiting for him to intercede for himself, the guards immediately stepped forward and pulled him and Yan Tong out.
Seeing this, Feng Qu knelt there trembling.
He also didn't expect that His Majesty would punish Zhao Gao like this, and at this moment he felt that he was also in danger.
"Your Majesty...... The old minister is threatened, and he hasn't done anything yet, please be kind to Your Majesty. ”
I don't know how much Ying Zheng believed this, he looked at Feng Qujian who was kneeling on the ground, only to see Feng Qujian in a cold sweat, and he almost wanted to confess his affairs.
Only then did he speak: "The dignified Qin Right Prime Minister was actually threatened by a eunuch. ”
"Punish you for being grounded for three months, and think about it behind closed doors in the house."
As long as he can save his life, as for the other Feng Quji, he doesn't care at all, and it can be said that he doesn't care.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"The old minister's order."
