Dajin royal family

Chapter 238 The Grand Dynasty ([-])

The arm can't hold the thigh, which is probably Cui Shili's current state of mind.

It's not a matter of complaining, but he can't help but feel desolate in his heart. Last moment, he was an ally who was called brother and brother, but this moment he abandoned their father and son so readily.

He could even hear the thoughts of Gao Xun, Lu Huaishen and the others. Maybe these people felt that it was their utmost benevolence to say something nice for the Cui family.

But compared to these, Cui Shili was particularly indignant towards the prince's attitude. He did not hesitate to let his son go to Dongnae County to conspire with Cui Qi in the salt field. For what, the prince would not know, how could he remain indifferent.

"Sir, thank you!"

Cui Shili kowtowed to the ground, and all the ministers in the hall who saw that scene felt sorry for him.

The servant of the household department, the money bag of the Jin Dynasty, one wrong step, the clan abandoned, and the imperial court was demoted, the bitterness and bitterness in it, although I don't want to understand it, but they have something in common.

Jiang Chengxiao was expressionless, but he was slandering in his heart. From the emperor's words, it was not hard to hear that this decision should have been made long ago, including the reward for himself, which was also prepared in advance.

In this way, what does it mean to ask the minister.

Establish yourself in the court to keep your word?

No, the Emperor is not that boring.

He remembered an interesting thing, the emperor only asked the prince's opinion on these two matters, and every time the prince agreed first, and then the emperor gave the order.

It seems that the emperor is not stupid, he should know what role the prince plays in it.

Cui Shili returned to his seat in a daze, and when this great dynasty is over, he will never have a chance to come back in his life.

There is nothing more sad than a dead heart, and Cui Shili's dull eyes look like this to others.

Seeing this, Pei Ju didn't have much expression on his face. He should have thought about today when the Cui family planned to support the prince.

It is considered good that the emperor is willing to let the Cui family go. Although the blow to the Cui family this time is not small, the position of the servant of the household department will be lost, and the prestige of the Cui family in the court will be greatly weakened in the future.

Jiang Chengxiao rubbed his sore thighs. It has been several hours since he went to court, and he has been sitting on his knees. Not to mention his sore legs, it is true that he is hungry and thirsty.

This is not sitting on your knees at home, but you can also lean on the wood to relieve the pressure on your legs and feet. Which of the ministers in the Guangming Palace has a straight back and back.

Of course, old age doesn't count.

For example, Xiao Dan, this old man is stooped.

But Jiang Chengxiao guessed that he couldn't hold on any longer.

"Cough cough."

Noticing Jiang Chengxiao's small movements, King Zhao coughed in time.

Jiang Chengxiao: "."

Do you want to pay so much attention to him, and remind you every time you make a small move.

Slightly boosting his spirits, Jiang Chengxiao resisted the urge to yawn, and waited for the next topic with his ears raised.

It shouldn't be a big deal, isn't the biggest thing these days the Qingzhou affair?

Perhaps his assassination counted as one?
Soon, Wei Shilun gave him the answer.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the case of the assassination of Prince Zhao's son has already been figured out."

Jiang Chengxiao was slightly taken aback, no way, the emperor couldn't possibly not know who did this, how could he allow Wei Shilun to bring it up here.

"Say." The emperor was still concise, but looked at the prince.

The prince was completely frozen in place at the moment, his face was just sweating, and he kept wiping away the sweat.

Wei Shilun bowed slightly, "According to the testimony of the assassin who assassinated Prince Zhao's son yesterday, the mastermind behind the scenes is Donggong Xima, Lu Liang."

boom!
Like thunder on the ground, all the ministers below were arguing.

Pei Ju's pupils also shrank sharply, his thoughts flashed quickly, and he carefully considered this matter, his eyes glanced back and forth at the Crown Prince, King Qi, and Jiang Chengxiao.

Calm as Gao Xun, Lu Huaishen and the others couldn't sit still.

Especially Lu Huaishen, he stood up almost as soon as Wei Shilun finished speaking, and sprained his ankle slightly because of his agitation.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Nonsense, can you have nothing to say, Lu Liang is your grandson.

Jiang Chengxiao squinted his eyes, waiting for Lu Huaishen's sophistry.

If eloquence is not good, Cui Shili is a lesson from the past.

"can."

The emperor was still calm and indifferent, so indifferent that it was hard to see what he was thinking.

The hall of light fell silent, waiting for Lu Huaishen's performance.

Lu Huaishen cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that there must be something strange about this matter. Lu Liang, the Xima of the Eastern Palace, has never had any grudges with Duke Langya, so how could he commit a crime to assassinate Duke Langya? According to my opinion, this is someone's intentional assassination in order to marry him. Misfortune to Lu Liang."

King Qi, who had been silent for several hours, finally made a move. He stood up unhurriedly, and cupped his hands towards the emperor, "I will tell my father, my ministers have different opinions."

"Say."

The emperor looked at King Qi, and it seemed that he was not surprised that King Qi would stand up.

King Qi looked at Lu Huaishen and said: "Lord Lu is wrong, who said that Lu Liang and Qing Que have no grievances."

These words made Jiang Chengxiao stunned. When did he have a grudge with Lu Liang? He didn't know this Donggong Xima yet.

"His Royal Highness, please correct me." Lu Huaishen looked at King Qi neither humble nor overbearing.

King Qi sneered, "Lu Liang is jealous of Qingque's thorough investigation in Qingzhou, why not murder him?"

Jiang Chengxiao looked at King Qi speechlessly, what is this, forcing the prince?
Why do some people watch other people eat shit and have to try it for themselves?

Is it so attractive and fragrant to eat shit?

He vomited, really vomited, King Qi made an excuse to get involved with the prince, at least you should find someone who can justify it, this is too reluctant.

The emperor also seemed rather speechless, or could it be said that King Qi is a straight-hearted man without a plan?
He was suddenly disappointed that neither of his two sons was satisfactory to him.

One is too smart, and the other is not smart at all.

Lu Huaishen was obviously also taken aback. He thought that King Qi was going to make some big news, but in the end he forcibly splashed dirty water like this?

"Is there any basis for what Your Highness said?" Lu Huaishen immediately retorted.

If you had a better reason, he might not have refuted it so easily, and this is the end?

"No basis."

King Qi admitted that there was no basis, and then looked at the prince and said, "I think the elder brother of the prince knows Lu Liang best, why don't you tell me about it?"

When Lu Huaishen saw that King Qi was going to involve the crown prince, he immediately interrupted: "Your Highness, let's talk about the matter, and please respond positively to the old minister."

"No, no one has more say in this matter than the elder brother of the prince. After all, Lu Liang has been with the elder brother of the prince for a long time. The elder brother of the prince is the clearest about this little matter."

King Qi didn't give Lu Huaishen a look, he still stared at the prince.

"Right, Brother Prince."

Zhao Wang's eyelids moved, looked at Qi Wang, and then slowly lowered his eyes, as if the assassination case they were talking about had nothing to do with his son.

At this time, Gao Xun couldn't just sit back and watch King Qi repeatedly involve the prince. He immediately got up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there are many doubts in this case. Just one assassin cannot be sure that the murderer must be Lu Liang. According to my opinion, we still need to Take a closer look."

"Gao Xiang meant to drag you back?" King Qi turned around, and said righteously: "Qing Que is a meritorious minister but has been assassinated again and again. Now the assassin has confessed the murderer, but Gao Xiang and Lu Shangshu But it has been repeatedly denied, can this king think that the two of you have selfish intentions?"

Yo, this is quite easy to say.

Jiang Chengxiao glanced at King Qi quite unexpectedly. So far, this sentence is quite powerful, and everything else is nonsense.

Hearing that King Qi scolded him for being selfish, Lu Huaishen immediately quit. Lu Liang was his grandson, if he was accused of being selfish, he would immediately become Cui Shili's second.

"I report to Your Majesty, the veteran has no second thoughts, but the case is full of doubts, and it is impossible to convict easily with just a few words. This murder needs a reason. What reason does Lu Liang have to assassinate Duke Langya?"

Gao Xun agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, please think again."

King Qi said: "This is wrong. Maybe Lu Liang himself has no reason, but someone has a reason to murder Qing Que. Maybe Lu Liang is just a scapegoat, or is he acting for someone?"

At this moment, the dozing ministers finally woke up. Pairs of muddy pupils opened one after another, and countless eyes focused on King Qi.

Jiang Chengxiao was also slightly taken aback, King Qi has such a sharp mouth, could it be that the nonsense at the beginning was just to warm up. No, hot talk?
The offensive power of these words is very strong. Basically, the underlying meaning is that this king knows that Lu Liang has no reason to assassinate, but Lu Liang's master has a reason to assassinate.

Who is Lu Liang's master?
Prince!

It was precisely because everyone could understand King Qi's hidden meaning that they became energetic.

The royal family's sordid battle is finally about to begin. Although the process is thrilling, it is also very exciting!
