Chapter 29 Poison Scheme
After instructing Xuan Xi to find Gongsun, Chen Yutian left the palace directly and came to the Taigong Mansion to find Yuan Lin.
As soon as Yuan Lin saw Chen Yutian, he immediately asked him to sit down, with a slight hint of anxiety in his expression, "It's great that you're here, I originally planned to send someone over directly to invite you over?"
Chen Yutian looked at him with an anxious face, and asked curiously, "What happened, why are you so anxious?"
Yuan Lin smiled bitterly eagerly, "Alas...... How can I not be in a hurry?"
Chen Yutian raised his eyebrows slightly, "What the hell happened? Could it be that the national teacher said that His Majesty did something bad again?"
Yuan Lin sighed and nodded bitterly.
"Yes, just now in the court, in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, he proposed to execute the ninth princess in front of the people of the whole country, in order to calm the rising public anger. ”
Chen Yutian suddenly changed color!!
"What did you say? He said something like that?"
Yuan Lin smiled bitterly, "It's ridiculous, isn't it? But it's true, and His Majesty has already agreed to his proposal." ”
Chen Yutian's eyes were even more shocked!!
Would Jieli actually agree to such a proposal?
Lang Yue is his daughter, how would he agree to this proposal to execute his daughter?
It's too ruthless!!
"To paraphrase your common saying in the Central Plains, tiger poison does not eat children, but Your Majesty will agree to this method of executing your own flesh and bones, alas...... I really don't know, what is your majesty thinking?"
Yuan Lin sighed dejectedly, his tone full of despair.
Chen Yutian's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Yuan Lin, "Can you tell me the details of what happened?"
Yuan Lin nodded, and then he talked about the scene that had just happened in the court.
......
......
In the early days of the dynasty today, because the things that happened in the palace the night before yesterday had been spread by everyone, and the folk rumors were deliberately guided and spread by well-intentioned people, the mother and daughter of the ninth princess Langyue were misinterpreted and scandalized into the fox demon to descend into the world, causing the people of the entire barbarian capital to boil one after another, clamoring for the execution of the fox demon one by one, and even formed a lot of public anger.
Jieli sought advice from the Manchu civil and military on how to calm down this public anger.
At first, no one spoke, after all, this was Khan's family matter, and it was difficult to interfere.
However, Jieli seemed to have to ask a reason from the ministers, so he kept asking questions, and in the end, as the head of the civil officials, one of the three prime ministers, the minister of state had to come out to play.
"Your Majesty, in the final analysis, this matter is still because the murder of the two princes is unresolved, if the cause of death of the two princes can be clarified, the murderer will be arrested, and then the matter will be made public, the people will understand what happened, so that the fox demon's remarks will inevitably be self-defeating, and the people's anger will naturally subside. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the civil and military ministers present lit up!!
The Prime Minister's proposal was the best option.
"What the Minister of State said is very true. In Yichen's opinion, the best way to solve this matter is at this time. Taigong came out of the queue.
The ministers also chimed in.
But at this moment, the national teacher made a different voice.
"No, no. The prime minister's remarks seem to be reasonable and well-founded, but the national division cannot agree. ”
The state minister frowned slightly, "Oh? I don't know what the national teacher means?"
The national teacher said: "Prime minister, my national teacher, please ask you, you said that you want to catch the real murderer who killed the two princes, and then make the matter public, but the fox demon that the people want to execute is the real murderer of this case, and now that she is missing, how should we arrest her? Or does the Prime Minister already know where the criminal concubine is hiding?"
As soon as these words fell, almost everyone in the court involuntarily changed their faces!
The Prime Minister is even more angry!!
I only heard him grit his teeth and squeeze out a few words, "What does the national teacher mean by this?"
"I don't mean anything else, I hope the Prime Minister doesn't think too much about it. The national teacher smiled faintly, "I just want to tell the Prime Minister that your method is a little unrealistic." ”
The prime minister's face was slightly gloomy, "Oh? So, I don't know what the national teacher has planned?"
The national teacher smiled: "Clever plan, I do have it, but it depends on Your Majesty, whether you dare to use it." ”
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Jieli, who was sitting high on the throne.
I saw that the corners of Jieli's mouth slightly provoked a trace of cold arc, and the old and cloudy eyes burst out with a touch of essence.
"Since the national teacher said so, then the king should listen even more to what kind of clever plan you have. ”
The national teacher smiled: "The minister's clever plan is very simple, that is...... Punish the Ninth Princess to death in public!!"
"What, Your Majesty, never!!"
The moment the national teacher's voice landed, Yuan Lin immediately spoke out against it!
Not only him, but also the ministers of the state and the monarchs, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, all spoke out against it.
Jieli's face didn't see obvious mood swings, he just looked at the national teacher and said softly, "Quiet!!"
Shut up, everybody!
"You should know, no matter what, Lang Yue is also the daughter of Ben Khan, right?" Jieli looked at the national teacher and said lightly.
The national teacher nodded, "Naturally." ”
Jieli suddenly laughed, "You have an old saying in the Central Plains, it is called tiger poison does not eat children, do you think that Ben Khan will be more vicious than that tiger?"
The national teacher smiled: "Of course not, because Your Majesty, you are a wolf, not a tiger." In our Central Plains, wolves are the most cold-blooded animals. Besides, my proposal is not to ask Your Majesty to really execute the Ninth Princess, but to use this to lure out the hidden concubine!"
Jieli raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
The national teacher continued: "That concubine has a deep relationship with the ninth princess mother and son, if we learn that the ninth princess will be executed in public, she will definitely go to the court to rob people, so that we can arrest her." ”
Jieli's expression did not change in the slightest, he just sat on the throne and looked at the national teacher.
The national teacher also looked at him, and suddenly spoke, "Even, we can use this move to lure out the remnants of the fox clan's rebellion that have been hidden for many years." ”
Hearing this, Jieli's face finally changed.
The prime minister took a deep breath at this time and spoke, "I don't know what this matter has to do with the rebellion of the fox clan?"
The national teacher turned around and looked at the prime minister, "The minister of the country still doesn't know, according to the investigation of the national division, Hu Tian, the patriarch of the fox clan, had an affair with a woman in the Central Plains, and this woman secretly gave birth to a daughter in the Central Plains, and this woman, according to the investigation, should be the concubine of sin!!"
"What?
The Manchu Dynasty was surprised at the same time!!
If Concubine Ling is really the daughter of the patriarch of the fox clan in the past, then I'm afraid things won't be so simple.
The minister of state pondered for a moment, and looked at the national teacher, "What the national teacher said, is there any evidence to prove it?"
The national teacher sneered, "I naturally have the evidence, but I have already reported this matter to Your Majesty, and the Prime Minister should still be trustworthy of Your Majesty's judgment, right?"
The national minister was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the national teacher to use Jieli to pressure him, so he could only look at the national teacher with a gloomy expression.
"It's nature. ”
After that, the prime minister looked at Jieli helplessly.
The ministers of civil and military affairs in the court also looked at him.
By this time, everyone had seen that the decision on this matter was in the hands of His Majesty the Khan.
I saw Jieli take a deep breath, his gaze swept over the faces of each minister, and then he slowly spoke.
"Spread my word, five days later, in Wangcheng Square, the nine princesses will be executed to show the public!!"
Airplanes!
Jieli's words fell, and Yuan Lin felt a buzzing in his brain!!
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, and please ask Your Majesty to retract your order!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, behead the son. Since the founding of our barbarian country, there has never been such an incident, if it reaches the ears of other countries or the people of the Central Plains, it will be simply ridiculous and generous, and I implore Your Majesty to take back your order!!"
Jun Xiang also resolutely knelt down!
The prime minister looked at the two of them, then looked at Jieli's firm eyes, and sighed slightly.
"Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order!
Seeing that the three ministers knelt down one after another, Jieli did not have the slightest emotion in his eyes, but said forcefully, "This matter, I have made up my mind, and if it is hindered, it will be dealt with as the remnants of the traitorous party!!"
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left......
The three old ministers of the state, the monarch and the source of Lin knelt on the main hall and looked at each other.
The court quickly fell silent.
Because the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces left one after another.
In the end, there were only three people left in the entire court.
and a sound, full of despair...... Sigh......
......
......
"So we'll only have five days at most. Chen Yutian frowned slightly.
Five days, it is indeed difficult to find out the truth about the murder of the two princes and arrest the real culprits in such a short period of time!!
