Chapter 245 The Emperor's Murderous Intent

At this time, there was silence in the study room.

Emperor Jianwu sat in front of the imperial case with a livid face, holding a warrant in his hand, looking at the warrant, his eyes were full of bewilderment.

Jia Hu took two steps back, then stood there without saying a word.

Dai Quan quietly shook his head at the other eunuchs on duty.

The eunuchs all retreated and closed the door.

Emperor Jianwu slapped the warrant on the imperial case, raised his head, and asked Jia Hu, "How could it be King Zhongshun?!"

Jia Hu replied calmly: "It was found from the killer, and all the supervisors were present."

Emperor Jianwu turned his attention to Dai Quan again.

Dai Quan: "It was indeed found from the killer."

After hearing this, Emperor Jianwu's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he repeatedly patted the case: "Say it! Tell me! What's going on?!"

Dai Quan plopped down on his knees: "This old slave will die!" Trembling, he took off the gauze cap on his head.

Jia Hu had no choice but to speak: "Your Majesty, I suspect that this warrant is fake. It should be someone imitating King Zhongshun's handwriting!"

One word reminded Emperor Jianwu, and quickly picked up the warrant of King Zhongshun, examined it carefully, and suddenly said loudly: "It really is a fake warrant for imitation! Who would have done this?!" After speaking, he woke up suddenly, grabbed the Fang Yanchi on the imperial case fell hard to the ground and shouted sharply: "Bastard!"

Both Jia Hu and Dai Quan lowered their heads.

Emperor Jianwu slapped the imperial case with his palm: "Dai Quan!"

"Slave, the slave is here!" Dai Quan replied tremblingly.

Emperor Jianwu yelled like crazy: "Arrest, arrest Yizhong County King!"

Jia Hu was taken aback.

Dai Quan also froze in fright.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Emperor Jianwu's eyes were red and he approached Dai Quan.

Dai Quan shuddered, his Adam's apple twitched, and said with difficulty: "The rules of the ancestors, if there is no hard evidence, the emperor of our Great Zhou Dynasty cannot dispose of the clan princes at will. The rules cannot be broken." He kept banging his head on the floor tiles.

Emperor Jianwu was reminded by Dai Quan that he lost the rage just now, took a deep breath, and said to Dai Quan: "Get up."

At this time, Dai Quan's forehead was bruised and swollen, and he was still kneeling on the ground.

Emperor Jianwu had calmed down, looking at the warrant on the imperial case absently.

"I have thought about it carefully. This matter is actually not difficult, just like the original letter written by Wang Ziteng. As long as Prince Zhongshun bites him to death and refuses to admit it, this warrant cannot be used as evidence." At this point, Jia Hu looked Emperor Wang Jianwu: "The children of the Kong family who came back from Tianjin cannot be handed over to the cabinet for interrogation. They must be executed immediately!"

Emperor Jianwu looked deeply at Jia Hu, then nodded: "Okay! Let's do it according to your opinion." He glanced at Dai Quan and motioned him to deal with it.

Dai Quan got up and walked out quickly.

Watching Dai Quan go out, Emperor Jianwu sighed deeply: "It's hard for me. I can only endure the matter of King Zhongshun. Even for the crime of treason, I can only imprison him. He is my brother. If the Queen Mother has something wrong because of disposing of him, I will be unfilial!"

Speaking of this, he was obviously a little thirsty. He picked up the tea bowl habitually and lifted the lid, but it was already dry. He glanced at Jia Hu and put down the tea bowl.

Jia Hu understood, scolded MMP in his heart, went to the cubicle, picked up the small copper pot, and poured tea before the imperial case.

Emperor Jianwu picked up the tea bowl, drank a few sips before putting it down again: "Move the chair yourself, and pour the tea yourself."

Jia Hu responded, first moved a chair and put it on the side of the case, then moved a coffee table, and then made a bowl of tea.

Emperor Jianwu suddenly remembered: "I heard that you went to the clan mansion to change the clan certificate?"

With a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Jia Hu replied: "Your Majesty laughed at me because I was young and ignorant." He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Emperor Jianwu stared intently at Jia Hu, and then asked, "You can't wait?"

Jia Hu splashed a sip of tea on the ground, smiled wryly: "The situation in Chen's family is more complicated."

Emperor Jianwu interrupted Jia Hu's words, and smiled faintly: "Don't make shameful things about your family." After speaking, he picked up his pen and spread out the blank chapter to write quickly.

After finishing writing, Emperor Jianwu stood up and walked towards the apse.

Jia Hu was slightly taken aback.

After a cup of tea, Emperor Jianwu came back, holding a box wrapped in yellow silk in both hands, went to the imperial case, and said to Jia Hu: "In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is nothing that it can't solve!" Put the box on the imperial case and untie the yellow silk.

Jia Hu's eyes widened. A golden five-clawed golden dragon was lying on the lid of the gold seal box. His eyes were wide open, and he raised his head to the sky. There were eight dragons around the gold seal box!

Jia Hu's eyes were shone with golden light, he understood that this gold box contained the Fang Yuxi, which represented the supreme power in the world!
Emperor Jianwu lifted the lid of the box, took out the jade seal from the inside with both hands, and put it on top of this chapter.

Seeing that Jia Hu was in a daze, Emperor Jianwu smiled and said, "Take my handbook to the clan's mansion, and they will immediately replace the paper for you." After saying this, he handed over the handbook.

Jia Hu came back to his senses, and quickly knelt down, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed respectfully, stood up, walked to the imperial case, took the handwriting and looked at it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth .

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Jia Hu turned to look.

Dai Quan rushed in like a gust of wind, panting: "Something has happened! The cabinet and the chief and deputy officials of the Sanju Division have already tried the criminal who assassinated Yan Shenggong in the Ministry of Punishment, and sent an official document to Prince Zhongshun, please go The Ministry of Criminal Justice replied"

Emperor Jianwu asked Dai Quan urgently: "What's the matter? Why didn't they ask for an order before sending the official document to King Zhongshun?"

Dai Quan: "A disciple of the Confucian family took out a letter written by Prince Zhongshun in the lobby. In the letter, he not only explained that he would send the guards of the palace to help them, but also wrote all the promises in it."

Emperor Jianwu fell silent, and there was silence in the upper study.

At this time, the deputy chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace came to the door and said: "Your Majesty, there is a message from the Queen Mother, please go over."

A police officer from Emperor Jianwu: "Who went to the Queen Mother?"

The deputy chief eunuch: "Return to Your Majesty, Prince Zhongshun has just entered the palace, and he is currently in the Palace of Compassion."

Emperor Jianwu's face darkened: "Go back to the queen mother, just say that I am busy now, and I will go there later."

Deputy Chief Eunuch: "Yes." He bowed and retreated.

Emperor Jianwu stood silently in front of the imperial case, lost in thought.

There was another silence in the upper study.

Emperor Jianwu's face gradually became solemn, and he said solemnly: "This little bastard can't stay!"

Jia Hu was startled secretly, but didn't speak.

Emperor Jianwu seemed to have made his final decision: "I want him to die!" After speaking, he stared straight at Jia Hu.

Jia Hu didn't answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, he said very seriously: "Not to mention the ancestral precepts and the law, even the special status of Yizhong County King, he will not die!"

After a while of silence, Emperor Jianwu spoke: "You are still a long way from Jin being crowned king. After killing that little bastard, I will immediately make you king of the county."

Jia Hu didn't dare to answer, and immediately lowered his head.

Emperor Jianwu looked at Jia Hu quietly, and after a while, he sighed, "Go back."

Jia Hu immediately replied loudly: "Yes." Then he backed out.

Watching Jia Hu go out, Emperor Jianwu sighed deeply, and looked at Dai Quan again: "We still have to rely on ourselves!"

Dai Quan: "Yes."

Walking under the eaves of the main hall, a gust of cold wind brought snowflakes and slapped Jia Hu's face. Looking at the heavy snow, Jia Hu touched the handbook in his arms again, and strode out, first to the clan mansion to change the clan dispatch!
