Chapter 177: Desire to add sin
The two vermilion gates slowly opened, and all the ministers of Cao Wei rushed out.
The various carriages and sedan chairs parked here creaked and rattled, ready to carry their respective owners home.
A long group of Cao Wei warriors came from the morning light not far away, like a row of fast-moving metal, and one of the steeds in front suddenly raised its front hooves and let out a sharp roar as it approached the palace gate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please stay for the time being." The general on the horse held a long sword in his hand and shouted to the officials with an ignorant face, "The villain is the guard of the palace of the king of Jin, and today he is ordered to invite all the adults to the palace for a banquet, and the king of Jin has been waiting in the palace for a long time. ”
All the moving legs stopped at almost the same time, and people were like stakes with the trunks of trees cut off and isolated in the wind.
After a while, people began to whisper, wondering what the young Jin King Chitose was doing.
"The Jin Palace's Mansion is not far from here, and all the adults are in the car, so you just need to follow the villain on foot." The general-looking man jumped off his horse as he spoke.
The samurai quickly dispersed, encircling everyone.
This is perhaps the most frightening "invitation" of all time.
"The old mother in the lower official's family is seriously ill, and I ask the general to be accommodating, and when the lower official goes back to visit, he will go immediately." In the crowd, a tall official said loudly.
The general-looking man's face sank.
"The old mother is seriously ill at this time, but the banquet of King Jin Chitose cannot be missed."
The official's face also became a little difficult to look at.
"The general doesn't have a mother, how can he be so unreasonable?"
This sentence almost made everyone present feel a chill down their spines, could it be that this loose rider named Zhu Hong had eaten bear bile at night?
The general-looking man suddenly smiled and strode up to Zhu Hong.
"If it were someone else, General Ben would naturally let him go, but Lord Zhu couldn't, today's banquet was specially set up for Lord Zhu, why didn't you go?"
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhu Hong's body.
Zhu Hong had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming.
Jin Wangfu:
Sima Yan had been waiting in the lobby of the conference hall accompanied by Hao Yi and others, and the aroma of wine and food had already filled the entire Jin Palace.
"General Jiang Chongda has arrived with all the adults." The voice of a samurai standing outside the door was heard.
Sima Yan nodded at Hao Yi.
Hao Yi walked down the steps quickly and took Sima Yan's place to greet him.
Sima Yan had an unpredictable sneer on his face.
"King Chitose of Jin is inviting all the adults today, and he has no other intentions, but the King of Jin has not been to the court for many days, and he misses you very much, and I hope that you will not be polite, just drink heartily." Hao Yi said loudly.
"The ministers have thanked King Jin for a thousand years." People stood at their own tables and thanked Sima Yan who was standing tall.
Sima Yan didn't say a word, but picked up the wine bottle.
After about an hour, many people were already slightly drunk.
Sima Yan stood up.
"Since this king inherited his father's title, he has been helping you all and has always wanted to find an opportunity to meet you to show his gratitude, but he is too busy with official business to be free."
"The king Chitose is young and promising, and he is really a role model for us."
"The king is a martial artist, and he works mostly for state affairs, and the ministers can't wait."
"I hope that the king will sweep away the traitors in the world as soon as possible and give benefits to the world."
Among the ministers, there is naturally no shortage of people who tend to be inflammatory.
Sima Yan put down the wine bottle.
"You should not praise you like this, this king knows that he has no virtue and no talent, and it is difficult to convince the public. If there is any one among the people who is more virtuous than the king, the king is willing to give way. ”
Sima Yan's gaze swept across everyone's faces like a sword.
Everyone heard Sima Yan's voice, and the entire hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.
After a long time, the old Taifu Zhongxuan stood up with the support of his family, arched his hand at Sima Yan, and the muddy voice slowly flowed out of his slightly purple lips: "The king is too humble, since my father Sima Zhao followed the example of his predecessors and became the overlord of one party, my Cao Wei country is peaceful and the people are happy, this is the blessing of my Cao Wei." The king inherited the throne, but he went with the sky, and it was the luck of my officials. If someone is arrogant in front of the king, the old minister also thinks that it is an idiot. ”
Zhong Xuan was a respected old man in the Cao Wei court, and he had also worked with Sima Yan's grandfather Sima Yi and others in the past.
With Zhong Xuan taking the lead, everyone immediately echoed in unison.
Sima Yan laughed.
"Mrs. Zhong praised it. The king knew that the old lady was not in good health, and he wanted to visit the house for a long time, but he was finally unable to do so. It is the privilege of a lifetime to listen to the teachings today. Someone is coming,......" Sima Yan waved his hand and instructed a warrior standing at the door, "Prepare a car outside, and use this king's carriage and horse to send the old lady back to the house to rest." ”
The samurai promised to go out.
Zhong Xuan gave his hand again.
"The king is sympathetic to his subordinates, and the old minister has thanked him."
With the support of his family, Zhong Xuan left.
Hao Yi secretly shouted hello for Sima Yan's actions.
Zhong Xuan's departure instantly made everyone in the room once again have a sense of great crisis from the outside world that they could not resist.
Sure enough, Sima Yan got to the point.
"Recently, this king has a secret report that someone in my court secretly communicates with the queen of Shu Han, intending to give my Cao Wei Sheji to Shushang. I wonder how you feel when you hear this news? ”
There was a look of panic on everyone's faces.
Sima Yan suddenly slammed the wine bottle in his hand on the table, and the sound startled everyone.
"You don't have to be so alarmed, this king has only heard the report, and there is no real evidence, as for the truth, I have to wait patiently for a while."
The crowd could no longer drink any more wine.
A warrior walked in briskly from outside, leaned over Hao Yi's ear and whispered something.
Hao Yi nodded and came to Sima Yan.
Sima Yan's face was immediately covered with a layer of cold frost.
"Let it in."
As footsteps sounded, a samurai known as Jiang Chongda walked in, holding a stack of bamboo slips tied together with animal belts.
"Back to the king, the villain was ordered to go to the house of Lord Zhu Hong to search, in his study to find his secret communication with the Shu Han Queen's letters, according to his family confession, there are still Shu brocade and various jewels sent by the Shu Han Queen's envoy in the house. The villain didn't dare to call the shots, so he came to ask the king for instructions on how to deal with it. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Zhu Hong, who was sitting in the front row, had a pale face and stood up with a "whew".
"How can you come to the puppet to dare to frame this official?"
Sima Yan just glanced at Zhu Hong coldly, ignored it, reached out and took the bamboo slip and opened it.
The sound of "bang-la-la" was like a steel knife, instantly cutting everyone's luck and fantasy.
Sima Yan only glanced at the bamboo slip a few times, and suddenly raised his hand, and the thick pieces of bamboo connected by animal skins flew towards Zhu Hong's forehead.
Zhu Hong subconsciously dodged, and the bamboo slip swept past his ears and smashed against the wall behind him.
"This is a villain's planting, and the king must not wronged the lower officials." Zhu Hong said.
"Hold it for the time being, and King Rong Chitose will investigate it carefully." Hao Yi gave an order instead of Sima Yan.
Several samurai broke in, couldn't help but say, and pressed Zhu Hong to the ground.
