Raid

Chapter 53 Crying
The matter of the imperial mausoleum was not over yet, Emperor Yuan Jia didn't want to see anyone, who would have thought that not only a man but also a woman came to the Tai Chi Hall today.

Concubine Kang, dressed in Zhai clothes and nine tins on her head, is standing in the Taiji Hall.In front of her are Wu Wang Zhao Wang and other clan elders.

It's fine to bring the clan elders along, but why did Gu Lingxu bring that thorny head too.

Emperor Yuan Jia felt a headache when he saw it. Although he didn't know the purpose of Concubine Kang's visit, he also knew that Concubine Kang would definitely not come here for no reason.

Suppressing the impatience in his heart, he looked at Concubine Kang, "Princess, what is the reason why you came to see me so grandly today?"

Concubine Kang knelt down in front of the imperial court, with tears in her eyes, and her voice was earnest, "Please ask your majesty to make decisions for my late husband."

After all, she kowtowed heavily.

Emperor Yuan Jia didn't understand, so he said, "The master? I have asked Guan Zhi to take the Shence Army to suppress the bandits. When the bandits are successfully suppressed, I will order someone to take the heads of the bandits to sue King Kang's spirit. What do you want from me?"

"Thieves and bandits really deserve to die. Suppressing bandits in the court is for the country and the people, and my concubines have nothing to say. It's just that the prince's death was not done by the bandits. Suppressing bandits in the court is to eliminate harm for the people, but not to avenge the prince. Lord, please be the master for your ministers and concubines, don't let the real culprit go unpunished and disregard the laws of the country." Concubine Kang bowed again.

"The real culprit?" Emperor Yuan Jia frowned, puzzled and said: "You said the real culprit, isn't Kang Wang's death the result of bandits? The Dali Temple has already concluded, how come the real culprit?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, after inspection by King Zhao and the Marquis of Xiangcheng, the knife wound on King Kang's body was caused by Xirong people, not bandits." King Wu had the longest seniority and was the most qualified to speak.

"The Xirong people, how could they be the Xirong people, there is no reason, and there is no vengeance, what did the Xirong people do to kill King Kang?" Emperor Yuan Jia's eyes widened, full of disbelief, and his eyes scanned several people. It finally settled on Gu Lingxu.

I saw Gu Lingxu standing up, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. What is meant by no reason? The Xirong people and our dynasty are old enemies. They have always been domineering, so it is not surprising that they behaved like this..."

Emperor Yuan Jia only felt a pain in his head, and seeing Gu Lingxu said shamelessly: "Actually, I may know why the Xirong people attacked His Highness Kang Wang."

Several people looked at Gu Lingxu, Gu Lingxu was slightly serious, "I wonder if the sage still remembers that I said that I was intercepted and killed by the Xirong people on the way to Beijing."

He told Emperor Yuanjia about this matter when he met Emperor Yuanjia for the first time, but he mainly wanted to cancel the trade deal at that time, and didn't mention it too much, so no one cared about it. He only cared about finding out Miaoduan's whereabouts, but didn't report the crime, and in the end even he himself didn't quite remember the incident.

"When Weichen was about to enter the capital, he was intercepted and nearly died. He hid in the mountains for a long time before he was able to enter the capital alive. Now that I think about it, the day when Weichen was in danger seems to be the day when King Kang disappeared. Even if His Royal Highness As the Holy Majesty said, there is no cause and no reason, no injustice and no enmity. But Weichen and Xirong are not dead forever." When he said this, there was cruelty in his eyes.

He would like to see how the imperial court whitewashed the peace after this incident happened.

He may have his own selfishness in helping Concubine Kang, but it is also because of the arrogance of the Xirong people.

This is in Wangjing, they dare to kill people, and they are the princes who killed them. If they are far away from Wangjing, who knows how lawless they are.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but kneel beside Concubine Kang. She looked at Emperor Yuanjia and said loudly: "My lord, I used to say that the people of Xirong were domineering. My lord always thought it was my side's words, but now my lord has also seen it. Xirong How domineering are people..."

"presumptuous--"

"The Marquis of Xiangcheng—"

King Wu and Emperor Yuan Jia spoke at the same time.The King of Wu glanced at Xiangcheng Hou, indicating that enough is enough.

Emperor Yuan Jia looked at Gu Lingxu with dissatisfaction, and said displeasedly: "Hsiang Chenghou, are you accusing me? You still have half of the courtesy of a minister!"

"I don't dare." Gu Lingxu suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. Thinking of his own intentions, he managed to stabilize his emotions and continued: "But my lord, the Xirong people can't pretend to be domineering! They dare to kill at the feet of the emperor today! Prince, who knows if in the future..."

"My lord, the Xirong people are domineering. The prince has worked hard for decades and devoted himself to the country. The heavy snow in Wanzhou is the prince who personally escorted the grain to relieve the disaster. The bandits in Beijing are all caused by the prince himself. When he met a traitor, the prince rescued him several times! Your Majesty, do you have the heart to see him suffer such injustice and die?" Concubine Kang interrupted Gu Lingxu's words sadly, she raised her head, her eyes wide open. Looking at Emperor Yuan Jia, the tears couldn't stop sliding down.

Emperor Yuanjia felt guilty for a moment, but King Wu on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

Without him, Marquis Xiangcheng is fine at other times, but once he encounters the matter of Xi Rong, he loses his mind. Fortunately, Princess Kang interrupted in time. If not, I don't know what Marquis Xiangcheng can say.

King Wu also echoed and said: "Yes, my lord, Kang Wang has worked hard and made great achievements. He is also a relative of the sage's family. He is not allowed to die in such an unclear way. If you let this matter go, how can the clan Looking at the state, why do the people look at the state?"

If he really let it go, I'm afraid that everyone would think that Bei Qi was cowardly and obsequious, and would even ignore the death of the prince in order to do business with foreign countries.Similarly, it will also expose Northern Qi's distressed finances to others.

When Emperor Yuan Jia heard the words, he couldn't help saying without confidence: "However, it was just that the Marquis of Xiangcheng and the King of Zhao had just glanced at each other, and there was no proof, so how could Xi Rong be convicted? Could it be that the two of you can compare with Dali Temple?" Is your boss strong?"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. The Wu Zuo in Dali Temple are naturally masters, but they are far away from the southern border after all. How can they know the weapons of the Xirong? He was once bathed in blood in the southwest, so he can recognize it naturally." Wu Wang said seriously.

Emperor Yuan Jia rubbed his head a little irritably, "Then how about King Wu?"

The king of Wu looked humble, "In my humble opinion, it is better for the third division to examine this matter. If the Holy Majesty is trustworthy, then the old official presides over the matter, and the king of Zhao will be on trial, and then invite the border guards under the command of the Marquis of Xiangcheng to do the autopsy. In the conclusion Before he came out, he ordered the Jinwu Guards to seal off the Honglu guest house and not allow anyone to enter or leave. I wonder what the Holy One thinks?"

"Your Majesty, the King of Wu, and humble ministers can also be jurors." Gu Lingxu said hastily.

King Wu shook his head and looked at Gu Lingxu, "Mr. Xiangcheng, as you said, you and Xi Rong have had a long-standing grievance. If you participate in this matter, I'm afraid it will be unfair."

Emperor Yuanjia showed hesitation, and the concubine bowed again, "I also ask the Holy Majesty to agree to make decisions for my deceased husband."

Emperor Yuan Jia waved his hand, resisted his reluctance, and forced out the word "Yun".
