The ministers of infrastructure knelt down and begged the scientific research boss to be enthroned

Chapter 136

After the few people settled down, they were busy with their own work. Wu Qingqing took care of the laundry and cooking, and Hu Yinghao took care of the two sick patients. He Xinyi, who knew nothing, followed the villagers to go shopping. Well, Wei Chenrui really didn't have to do anything, he just asked the village chief for some news all day long, and instructed Xia Mang and others to study clay bricks and tiles.

Time passed day by day, the clay bricks and tiles were also researched, and Wei Chenrui's small courtyard was also started to be built. Huixin and Shisan had also returned to the capital with Wei Chenrui's secret letter.

According to Wei Chenrui's instructions, An Shisan sneaked into the palace to hand in the secret letter first, so that Emperor Zhaohe would be prepared so that he would not be overwhelmed by the sudden bad news, so that they could make a scene with Wei Chenrui.

Emperor Zhaohe who received the secret letter could only curse his unfilial son inwardly and cooperate with acting.

An Shisan and Hui Xin followed Wei Chenrui out of the palace, it was not hidden, the whole capital knew about it, so after delivering the letter, An Shisan sneaked back to the village where Hui Xin lived.

According to Wei Chenrui's instructions, the two of them galloped all the way without tidying themselves up at all. If it wasn't for the fact that their clothes were in good condition and their faces were clean, they would have looked like beggars.

Early the next morning, I ran to the gate of the city, but was stopped by the guards: "Where are you two in the capital? Just like you, don't go in and disturb the nobles."

Huixin received Wei Chenrui's order, so she naturally wished that everyone in the world would know about the disappearance of Her Royal Highness, without any low-key thoughts. The dog's eyes can clearly see who I am!"

As she said that, she deliberately moved closer and brushed away her messy hair so that the soldiers guarding the city could see her face clearly.

Wei Chenrui treated all the soldiers well. During the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, he bought all the remaining lights and gave them to the soldiers and officials on duty. He was loved by all the soldiers at the bottom. For Wei Chenrui and her The appearance of the big palace lady beside her was also specially seen, so she naturally knew her.

After this recognition, I was shocked: "My God, it's Miss Huixin, what's wrong with you, girl? How did you become like this?"

With a cold face, Huixin didn't answer, and got on the horse: "Get out of the way, don't delay my important business!"

The soldiers guarding the city dared not delay, they quickly stepped out of the way, Hui Xin and An Shisan ran straight to the palace together.

Huixin knew that with her current attire, she would not be able to enter the palace at all, so she didn't go through the usual side door, but went directly to the main entrance closest to the Qinzheng Hall in the early dynasty.

This main entrance is also where the Dengtian Drum is located, Hui Xin followed Wei Chenrui's instructions and asked An Shisan to stop the guards and went forward to beat the Dengtian Drum.

Under Emperor Zhaohe's rule, the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment. No one had ever imagined that the Dengtian Drum would be struck in the early court.

The sound of the drum sounded, which meant that there was a great grievance. All the officials who had ghosts in their hearts secretly felt guilty, carefully thinking about whether they had done such a "shocking" thing.

Emperor Zhaohe looked at the reactions of the ministers below, and even with Wei Chenrui's secret reminder, he was still furious: "You all, what did you do to be so panic-stricken when you heard the sound of the ascending drum?"

Pei Qianhuo was very vigilant, he immediately reacted, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, I am not in a panic, but just thinking that our country of Zhao has always been peaceful, Your Majesty has managed the country well, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It's too strange why there is no news about such a big grievance!"

Others also reacted and echoed one after another: "What Pei Shangshu said is true!"

Emperor Zhaohe took advantage of the situation and asked, "Has the Ministry of Punishment received any news?"

Li Zhengming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, hurried forward and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have not received any news. All suspicious cases have been tried one by one, and the relatives of the victims have also signed and pledged. drum level."

Emperor Zhaohe didn't speak, but only glared at the officials in the court hall, hoping to see something. Wei Chenrui's secret letter said that those who went to assassinate her were dead men, and those who could support dead men, It must be above this court.

In other words, the person who wants Wei Chenrui's life must be above the court.

At first Emperor Zhaohe suspected Pei Qianhuo, but Wei Chenrui analyzed in his letter that Pei Qianhuo is not yet so capable of raising dead men, and the Pei family has only made a fortune in the past ten years, the background is not high, and the family will To enjoy, relying on the money he greedy, he still can't afford to support so many dead soldiers.

Otherwise, instead of hiring killers, they would have sent dead soldiers directly.

But the reality disappointed Emperor Zhaohe. Although the people below were a little flustered, they didn't have the slightest hint of joy in their success.

Seeing that going on like this is not a problem, the Tai Tuo stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what the grievance is, since the person has already sounded the Drum of Reaching Heaven, according to the rules, you have to call the person over, let him face the saint, and tell the grievance!"

Emperor Zhaohe directed to Liu Xi who was behind him without turning his head, "Liu Xi, go and bring him here."

"Yes, I obey the order!" Liu Xi bowed and stepped back, walking towards the direction of Dengtiangu.

Staring for a long time is also tiring to listen to. Emperor Zhaohe took this opportunity to close his eyes and rest his mind. The courtiers below were also anxious and did not dare to disturb him.

Liu Xi was also an insider, and he also intended to let these ministers suffer. The journey was not fast, and the journey of two quarters of an hour dragged on for half an hour.

When Liu Xi brought Hui Xin to the main hall, the minister with a ghost in his heart was already sweating profusely. Seeing that it was Hui Xin who was next to His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, he was relieved and at the same time surprised.

"Huixin, you are so courageous that you even went to beat the drum, do you know what that is for?" A minister who was obviously not very good at thinking couldn't help standing up to blame Huixin.

Hui Xin gave the minister a cold look: "Your Excellency, this servant is the maidservant next to His Highness, so how could she not know what that Dengtian Drum is for?"

"That's right, Huixin knocked on the drum, so there is naturally a great injustice." An official who is good at flattering took the opportunity to increase Huixin's favorability.

Marquis Yong An, who didn't know the inside story, frowned and said: "Huixin, if you have grievances, don't tell His Highness, what kind of drums are you going to beat?"

Hearing the word Your Highness, Huixin knelt down in front of Emperor Zhaohe with a plop, and cried out, "Your Majesty, you must decide for Your Highness!"

"Just because His Highness asked the people in the martial arts to collect the violations of the ministers, he was chased and killed. At this moment, his whereabouts are unknown, and the slaves have no choice but to beat the drum."

"What..." Hearing this bad news, Marquis Yong An didn't mention it in one breath, and fainted on the spot.
