Chapter 34: The Day of the Alliance, the Truth Appears
When the time just arrived, Si Chen chanted, and when the upright black and white converged, many people may not have been able to get up, but at this time, the ministers of the Taiji Hall have been ranked in two shifts, standing with their pen and fingers, with a solemn expression, and their eyes do not squint.
"Your Majesty has arrived. Gao Xian, who was standing on the lower right, shook off the dust and shouted loudly.
Xiao Shiyu wore a golden crown and a golden python robe, he took the steps of a dragon and a tiger, slowly walked to the dragon seat in the middle of the main hall, turned around in a chic way, dialed the back corner of the python robe with his hand, and sat on the dragon chair, showing the power of the world.
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live!" the ministers fell to their knees.
"Zhongqing is flat. Xiao Shiyu made a gesture of lifting his hands towards everyone: "Gao Xian, take a seat for the King of Murong County and the Lord of Yuanjin County." ”
"Yes. Gao Xian waved the dust at the attendant on the side. In a matter of moments, the four attendants each moved two silver-edged mahogany Taishi chairs to the left and right sides under the dragon throne steps.
"Minister Murong left to thank His Majesty for the seat. ”
"Yuan Jin, thank Your Majesty for the seat. ”
Murong Li and Yuan Jin thanked each other.
"Huang Delang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, present the covenant drawn up by your ministry. Xiao Shiyu commanded.
"Obey. In the middle of the two shifts, a red-robed official holding a jade wat walked out of the column on the left, took out three bright yellow scrolls from his wide sleeved robe, and placed them on a tray on the long table in the center of the main hall.
"Today is a day of great luck after Qintian's monitoring. Xiao Shiyu's words were sonorous and powerful: "I, Qi and Yan Wei, have set a strategy for integration, and I believe that they will be able to form an alliance forever in the future." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Murong Li and Yuan Jin knelt down and saluted.
"Your Majesty. The hundred officials knelt down again.
"Zhu Qing is flat. Xiao Shiyu raised his hand again: "However, before the alliance, the cases about Liufu and Wei Guanyi also need to be closed first, which can be regarded as a joy for the alliance." ”
"Your Majesty, Jin also wants to get an explanation to report to Brother Wang, so as to appease the anger of my Wei people. Yuan Jin made a series towards Xiao Shiyu.
"Liu Ningshi, the daughter of Xuanliu Zhongshu, the eagle of Tingwei's Mansion catches ghosts, and Tong Bo, the guard of Jingwei Mansion, meets her. Xiao Shiyu gestured with his eyes, and Gao Xian immediately understood.
"Ning Shi has seen Your Majesty. ”
"The Eagle Catcher of the Mansion, the Eagle Hunting Ghost Face, See Your Majesty. ”
"The lowly Xuanwu Academy's guard Tong Bo sees Your Majesty. ”
Liu Ningshi, Ghost Face and Tong Bo walked to the front of the palace with their heads held high and knelt down to worship.
"Let's all be flat. Xiao Shiyu smiled and raised his hand.
"Ghost Face, report everything you find to Your Majesty. Tingwei Zhishan spoke.
"Yes, sir. The ghost face nodded at Liu Ningshi.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, Ning Shi was attacked by a gang of gangsters in the Wei Post Mansion; Liu Ningshi saluted Murong Li, who was sitting on the left: "This matter is so worthy of the help of the county king, Ning Shi is here to thank you." ”
"Ahem, Miss Liu doesn't have to be polite, we Yan people have always been jealous and hateful, and we will never allow these murderers to go unpunished. Murong Li coughed lightly twice with his fist against his mouth, and slowly got up and said, "County Lord, it is you who need to give an explanation for this matter!"
"What does the county king mean by this?" Yuan Jin also stood up: "Could it be that you mean to say that we killed the people of the mission ourselves?"
"It's not impossible for the guards to steal themselves!" Murong Li paced back and forth in the main hall: "I heard that when the murderer attacked the Wei Yi Pavilion, he let go of the county lord's bedroom." ”
"But at that hour, it was King Murong Jun who asked me to have tea with Han Xiang. Yuan Jin's eyes were full of coldness: "Could it be that the king of the county deliberately separated me and Han Xiang, so as to indulge the murderers?"
"The county lord is bold by nature, and he also treats his subordinates as family, how can he do such a thing of guarding and stealing?" Liu Ningshi helped Yuan Jin defend.
"The king of the county does not need to speculate, in fact, I have already found out who the murderer is, and this is a confession signed by the murderer, please preview it. Ghost Face handed the confession to the attendant who came, and inadvertently glanced at Tong Bo: "This Murong Li really met with a needle and asked him to identify the murderer, but he wanted to create more contradictions." ”
"I said it earlier, although you think you are Murong Li's nemesis. However, he was by no means so easy to deal with. Tong Bo looked at the ghost face with a teasing face.
"Come, show this confession to the county lord as well. After Xiao Shiyu read it, he handed over the confession to the chamberlain.
"Han Xiang, did the murderer say that he was instructed by you?" Yuan Jin frowned slightly: "I don't know how you want to explain this matter?"
"Just relying on a gangster who didn't know where to catch him, let him make a so-called confession and say that everything was instructed by me, isn't that too child's play?" Han Xun smiled: "Besides, what reason do I have for my dignified Minister of Wei to kill the people of Liufu and his own people?"
"Han Xiang, please meet someone later, and you may not think it is child's play. Liu Ningshi happily turned around and saluted Xiao Shiyu: "Your Majesty, please allow one of Ning Shi's witnesses to go to the palace." ”
"That's right. With Xiao Shiyu's order, Gao Xian's shrill voice remembered again: "Heirloom." ”
A thin man came slowly from outside the hall, his originally red face was pale and weak at this time, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
"This is Ge Er, the guard of the Jingwei Mansion. Liu Ningshi smiled at Han Xun: "Presumably Han Xiang should know this person." ”
"You, aren't you dead?" Han Xun blurted out subconsciously, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, attracting everyone's attention.
"Escort Tong, please explain. Liu Ningshi tilted her head and smiled at Tong Bo.
"This person's name is Ge Tiandao, and his eldest brother Zhang Jiuyun are both famous spies in the rivers and lakes. But the two of them still have a double identity, that is, the servants of your Han family. Tong Bo glanced at Liu Ningshi, and then waved at Han Xunzuo: "Han Xiang, what I said is right." ”
"Hmph!" Han Xun snorted coldly, looking noncommittal.
"The reason why he didn't die is thanks to his eldest brother Zhang Jiuyun. When Tong Bo said about this person, he showed a solemn and respectful expression: "Zhang Jiuyun has long known that they will be in a catastrophe after being arrested, so he has endured the poison of the one-day evil alone; ”
"So when Dr. Quan came to inspect it, I hinted that he would cooperate with us in a play, and sure enough, Ruan Wanzhong reported to them after this detail. The ghost face beside Tong Bo continued: "It's also thanks to Xiangyun's timely rescue, otherwise the life and death of this poison are five or five." ”
"This Ge Tiandao is the servant of the Han family, it can't be said that it was Han Xiang who instructed the killing, right?" Murong Li raised his own question: "It's okay to kill the people of the Liu family, but it doesn't make sense to kill the people of your own country." ”
"Because the matter of puffer fish poison in Miss Liu came very suddenly, the guards of Xuanwu Academy surrounded the Wei Post Pavilion again. In order to be able to taste tea on time with the king of the county, Han Xun did not stop doing it, and instructed Han Xun to slaughter the Xuanwu guards and the inner servants of the Wei Yi Pavilion. The ghost face warned: "That is, Miss Liu is alert, otherwise it is difficult to say whether she can stand here now." ”
"As for why you attacked and killed Liufu, you have to talk about the past thirty years. Tong Bo handed a token to the chamberlain: "Your Majesty, you should know what this token represents, right?"
"Hmm? This is the token given by the emperor to the family of "agriculture", how can it be in your hand?" Xiao Shiyu carefully looked at the token, and said the origin of this card: "The four major families of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were appointed by the emperor to serve as Yuan, Zhang, Gong and Su. ”
"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. Tong Bo smiled at Han Xun and said: "As far as Bo knows, the Han family was the first choice of the agricultural family back then, and the Zhang family was only the second choice; ”
"Yes, I am the descendant of the Han family. Han Xun heard the past, and his face was full of pain: "I was only ten years old at the time, but I watched my father and mother and more than 100 members of the Han family being beheaded on trumped-up charges, and I vowed to avenge them." ”
"Later, under the protection of Zhang Jiuyun and Ge Tiandao, I traveled to many places and came to Luoyang, the capital of Wei, and with my own efforts step by step, I finally achieved the position of prime minister. Han Xun calmed down: "Over the years, I have been investigating the truth of the year. Let me find out that it was the Liu family and the Zhang family who conspired to forge the Si Nong edict and sell all the grain and grass in the official warehouse of Lucheng on the border to the border merchants. ”
"Nonsense. Zhang Peizhi, who was old, was furious when he heard this: "Your Majesty, this Han family's fish that slipped through the net committed such a heinous evil act, not only did he not repent, but he also made a lot of nonsense here, which is really hateful." ”
"Liu Qianfeng is dead, and Liu Yuanzhi doesn't know what happened, but Zhang Peizhi, today you are in a catastrophe. Han Xun took out a scroll from his sleeve robe, which looked a little old: "This is the Si Nong Decree of the year, and there is also a correspondence; ”
"Zhang Sinong, do you want to take a look at this Si Nong's edict and letter. Xiao Shiyu's face suddenly gloomy after reading it, and he threw the edict and the letter to the ground.
"This 。。。。。。 Zhang Peizhi's hands trembled and picked up the edict and the letter and looked at half a cup of tea: "Please be gracious to Your Majesty, I was confused back then, and I asked Liu Qianfeng to frame the Han family together." ”
"Murong County King, Yuan Jin County Lord, do you have anything else to say?" Xiao Shiyu looked at the two of them.
"Everything is up to Your Majesty. The two of them waved towards Xiao Shiyu.
"Han Xun, Minister of Wei, you instructed Han Qi and other murderers to commit violence against Liufu and Wei Guanyi, destroy the relationship between Qi and Wei, and deserve to be beheaded. Xiao Shiyu waved his sleeves: "Zhang Peizhi, back then, you colluded with Liu Qianfeng to sell official food privately, and also framed the Han family, which is really a capital crime; Liu Qianfeng has been deceased for many years, so Liu Yuanzhi received it on his behalf, and he was demoted to three levels to retain, and he can still walk in Zhongshu Province. ”
"Ning Shidai's father thanked His Majesty for his grace. Liu Ningshi saluted Xiao Shiyu.
"Old minister, old minister, thank Your Majesty for not cutting it. Zhang Peizhi stood up tremblingly, his whole body was full of tears, and he made a gesture towards Xiao Shiyu: "According to my Daqi law, the position of Si Nong should be hereditary from the Zhang family, and I ask Your Majesty to allow Zhang Ye to serve as Si Nong." ”
"Okay, you Zhang Peizhi, I have spared you from death, and I still have the conditions. Xiao Shiyu sneered in his heart, but he looked kind on the surface: "The Book of Rites, is that so?"
"Your Majesty, this is true according to the law and etiquette. Li Congwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, lined up and said to Xiao Shiyu.
Since there is a law to follow and a courtesy to follow, of course I will play it. Xiao Shiyu signaled to Gao Xian: "Pass on the new Sinong to the palace." ”
