Book with Emperor

Chapter 214
Binghe, on the outer building of the dormitory, was asking about the craftsman detained at the imperial banquet, Feng Yi looked at him delicately, before he could speak, he heard the sound of porcelain shattering in the dormitory.

The two were startled, Lou Binghe subconsciously wanted to push the door in, but was stopped by Xiang Xiang with his hand.

Lou Binghe put his hand on the handle of the knife and was about to strike when Ning Zhao's roar came from the hall.

"According to my decree, Qin Guanyue colluded with the rebels, deceived the superiors and concealed the truth, and conspired against the inferiors. Three days later, he will be executed at the east gate!"

Both of them were startled, but Manager Wang had already received the order, and Qin Guanyue, who was dressed in plain clothes, was led away by the imperial guards.

Lou Binghe's expression softened slightly, and he opened his mouth towards the bedroom, "Your Majesty, I—"

"General."

Manager Wang interrupted him with a smile, "Your Majesty is injured, the imperial doctor said, don't be tired, please leave first, and discuss the matter another day."

Lou Binghe would question Prime Minister Feng but not Director Wang. He knew that everything Director Wang did was His Majesty's will, so His Majesty really didn't want to see him.

The vague uneasiness of the past few days has completely spread at this moment.

Since he rebelled against Xiangwei ten years ago and returned to Xi, he and Ling Yunqi have been Ning Zhao's confidantes. Even after Qin Guanyue appeared, Ning Zhao still trusted him more, until the night banquet seven days ago.

After the Yue clan escaped from the capital that night, he received a secret report from the palace, saying that His Majesty was assassinated, the palace gates were closed, all craftsmen who participated in the banquet were detained, and their life and death were unknown, including all the students of the Imperial College.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty gathered outside the Zhengyang Gate, terrified, but they couldn't find out any news, even the crown prince and King Ke couldn't see His Majesty.

Hearing the words, he rushed into the palace, but was stopped by Manager Wang for the first time. After that, he was trapped in the Emperor's Mansion and never once entered the Longquan Palace.

"General, please." Director Wang smiled and turned sideways.

Lou Binghe looked at the closed door, turned around, took two steps but looked at Feng Yi, "Your Majesty's assassination was an act of encircling Wei and saving Zhao by Qin Guanyue to save the rebels from the Yue clan. Now that His Majesty wakes up, Qin Guanyue has been captured, should the craftsmen at the imperial banquet be released?"

Feng Yi's eyes were still on the white-clothed figure who was taken away not far away. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at him with a calm gaze, "I thought the general was most concerned about His Majesty's safety at this moment, but I didn't expect that he still cared about those craftsmen."

Lou Binghe is not a literati, and he is too lazy to talk to literati, with a trace of impatience between his brows, "Where are those people now?"

"I don't know." Feng Yi said.

Before Lou Binghe could get angry, he said calmly, "Jinci is also in it."

Resignation?

Lou Binghe frowned, felt that the name sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered that at a royal banquet one day, His Majesty personally betrothed the young master of Zhenweihou's mansion, who was the daughter of Prime Minister Feng Jin.

He was startled, and understood what Xiang Xiang meant. The other party really didn't know where those people were locked up, otherwise he would have rescued his daughter long ago.

Things seemed to be getting more and more treacherous, and a trace of anxiety rose in his heart, "What happened on the night of the imperial banquet? Who assassinated Your Majesty? Are those craftsmen?"

Feng Xiang looked into the distance and didn't speak.

If it was someone else, Lou Binghe could force him to ask a few questions, but the person in front of him was Feng Yi, so he could only give up.

He took Ling Yunqi away, Feng Yi looked at his angry figure and didn't speak.

Behind him, someone came out from the corner and stood beside Feng Yi.

"Your Majesty will not resign. She was just implicated. Even in prison, no one would dare to treat her badly."

After Huo Qiu finished speaking, he found that his student's expression was even more dignified, "Your Majesty knows how much I value this daughter. Now that I can still see Your Majesty, it means that Jinci will be fine."

"Then what are you worried about..."

"From Baigong's imperial banquet, to the assassination of His Majesty, the traitor of the Yue family, and to Qin Guanyue's capture, all this is not over yet."

Feng Yi never thought that His Majesty would choose to kill Qin Guanyue in the end, "The assassination has not been investigated, and the collusion with traitors is also a commonplace, Your Majesty shouldn't be so angry."

"After all, Qin Guanyue is Gong Yue's only apprentice. Even if Qin Guanyue rebelled, His Majesty shouldn't be so angry to kill her."

"..."

Huo Qiu sighed, wrinkles piled up, making it more difficult to distinguish his eyes, "You have far-sighted eyes and a lot of thoughts, but I'm just afraid that I won't be able to pass this test."

Feng Yi withdrew his thoughts, knowing what his teacher was talking about.

"Qin Guanyue's accident will inevitably implicate the crown prince. King Ke and others will not easily let go of this good opportunity."

Huo Qiu was even more worried, "Your Majesty's early experience is doomed not to pay much attention to kinship, now he is furious, I'm afraid the crown prince..."

Feng Yi was silent for a moment, then replied, "It's good to save my life."

For anything else, forget it.

"No! The prince is orthodox, how can the dove occupy the magpie's nest!"

Huo Qiu was furious, and couldn't help cursing, "It's all to blame for that Qin Guanyue, Qin Tianjian is really inferior from generation to generation, she is like this, and so is her master Gong Yue!"

Feng Yi didn't say a word, Gong Yue's departure back then was his teacher's help, even if Qin Guanyue didn't avenge her master, she shouldn't stand by the princelings supported by his teacher, but she chose to help The crown prince, just before the accident...

He stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky above his head with a heavy expression.

……

In less than half an hour, this oral order spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. People from the three major academies gathered in the Dongying Tower, from the princes and nobles to the common people. Everyone asked whether it was true. of.

"Impossible! The emperor came from a famous school, how could he collude with the traitors?"

"The evidence is solid. General Ling Yun personally arrested him on the spot, but the remnants of the Yue clan escaped."

"This statement is even more absurd! Langya is the capital city of my Great Xi, if the rebels can come and go freely, wouldn't it be a sign of the country's ruin?"

"Tsk! Don't talk nonsense! You guys really think life is too long, can this be nonsense?"

"Exactly! The oral order has come down, as well as the arrest document for arresting the remnants of the Yue family. It says that whoever colludes with the traitors will be executed in three days!"

"absurd!"

A scholar slammed the table down, his face full of anger, "I, Emperor Daxi, was not a teacher of other countries. I was a man who governed the country and was born in Qin Tianjian, the number one school. How could I be convicted so hastily!"

As soon as this remark came out, many scholars immediately echoed it.

"That's right! The emperor's teacher has only been in office for a few months. The chaos of the Pingyun family, the punishment of the king's rebellion, and the protection of the people of the city and the lives of the emperor at the Son of Heaven Sacrifice. How could he do such a thing as treason? Injustice!"

"This case is being heard by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Let's go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and ask for clarification!"

"..."

Wen Maoge stood on the second floor, leaning on the railing to look at the enthusiastic scholars and passers-by in the street below, tapping the railing with his fingertips, his eyes indifferent.

"What is Brother Wen thinking?"

Zhou Mian who was beside him couldn't help but asked fearfully, "You don't want to go to block the gate of the Ministry of Punishment with them, do you? Don't be impulsive. My father told me that it is His Majesty who is going to kill the emperor this time."

Wen Subaruge snapped his fingers, "Why do you think I will go with them to block the gate of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Zhou Mian breathed a sigh of relief, "I was nervous for a while, and I forgot that Brother Wen, you have never been such an impulsive person, how could you make trouble with those fools."

"I mean, why do you think I will help Qin Guanyue?"

"Uh……"

Zhou Mian was taken aback, and explained, "Does it need to be said! Nowadays, in Daxi, who doesn't regard Qin Guanyue as a role model for scholars? Which scholar doesn't want to be the emperor's teacher who assists His Majesty? Not to mention that she learned from Qin Tianjian , In just one year, he has made several contributions to saving the country, which naturally makes scholars admire him. Isn't it Brother Wen?"

"I don't yearn for Qin Tianjian that much, as for Qin Guanyue..."

Wen Subaru rubbed the railing, and said thoughtfully, "If she has such a little ability, naturally she is not worthy of my high regard."

Zhou Mian was dazed and a little puzzled.
