Chapter 229 Murder Incident (1)

Zhong Weiwei raised his eyebrows: "Yes, Your Majesty has done a good job!"

"In your eyes, His Majesty, of course everything is the best." Xiaotang smiled and waited for Zhong Weiwei to wash and sleep.

The entire Fang Tea Hall did not fall asleep.

Tea masters selected from all over the country quietly gathered together to discuss the woman named Zhong Weiwei.

The daughter of the great Confucian Zhong Nanjiang, the first female official from outside the court since the founding of Li Guo.

Proficient in the tea ceremony, she is a fellow apprentice of His Majesty. She is known as a virtuous and talented person, and she defeated the envoy of Fan Zhou.

These are nothing compared to the tea ceremony elites who witnessed her fight against the country of Li, or how to protect the tea ceremony talents of Li country with their own eyes.

On this night of late spring, Zhong Weiwei did not rely on anyone with his exquisite tea art, generous conduct, and fearless spirit.

She walked out of the harem and the blessing of two generations of emperors, stood upright in front of the world, won the respect of people in the Li country's tea ceremony, and won an unprecedented reputation.

Many years later, when people mentioned her, they would always mention this thrilling day.

On this day, in the history of tea ceremony in Li country, it was known as the Battle of Fang Tea House, and it became a big event that people in the tea ceremony talked about throughout Li country and even in Dongling.

This night, compared to the gentle wind and drizzle in the Fang Tea Pavilion, Dongcheng, where the rich and powerful lived together, was indeed in chaos.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, many people hid in dark hooded cloaks to cover their heads, faces and figures, and walked into Lu's and Webster's mansions to conspire and discuss countermeasures regarding today's incident.

According to Taishi Wei and Taishi Lu's thinking, although Chonghua is powerful, his foundation is not stable.

Even if he knew that this matter was a conspiracy and wanted to investigate and punish severely, he would not do it too harshly.

So they are arrogant and unscrupulous, without any scruples.

But they don't know, in a corner they can't see.

The people from the Thirteen Guards watched their every move, and took note of the time, place, name, and things they discussed.

At the same time, some seemingly insignificant little people were secretly arrested in their own homes, put in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and interrogated overnight.

There are brave men under heavy rewards, and cowards under severe punishments.

Chong Hua, who was wearing a black robe, sat behind the case with a blank face, silently watching the trial of Kong Wenyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and others, and secretly wrote another note to Webster and Lu.

In Wan'an Palace, Empress Dowager Wei is secretly entertaining guests.

Lu Ruosu, who hadn't been out of Furun Palace for many years, sat in front of her solemnly, and said in a low voice:
"What's your plan if things come to light?"

Empress Dowager Wei calmly poured tea for Lu Ruosu: "The matter has not yet been decided, and now the emperor is just playing around, don't worry about it."

Lu Ruosu frowned: "Why are you not in a hurry?"

Empress Dowager Wei said indifferently: "Of course there is no rush, you should know that the tea fighting meeting will be held soon.

This year's tea fighting conference will be held in the capital of Li country. At that time, Dongling, ten neighboring countries, and even further countries will send envoys to participate in the conference.

Do you think that with His Majesty's intelligence, he would expose his shortcomings at this time, making people feel that there is a domestic turmoil in Li, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it?
If he couldn't see this, Li country would have perished. "

Lu Ruosu always felt a little uneasy: "I hope so."

Empress Dowager Wei satirized her: "Sister-in-law Huang has been imprisoned in Furun Palace for too long, so she has lost her courage."

Lu Ruosu couldn't refute her and left unhappy.

Empress Dowager Wei washed up disapprovingly, lay down and slept peacefully.

There was silence in the capital.

People from Webster's and Lu's thought that was the case.

The new emperor had a lot of thunder and little rain, although there was a Yu Binzhi who got cold feet and turned his back, but it would be fine.

The most is that Zhong Weiwei can't be framed, so they all sleep peacefully.

It was dawn, and the people who went out to conspire with each other returned home, sleeping peacefully until death.

Suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door, and many people didn't even think that it was aimed at themselves, and they were arrested by the imperial forest army who broke in and put them in the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

Among them, Wei Yunting and Lu Xinglu, the eldest sons of Wei Shi and Lu Shi, were included.

When he was arrested, Wei Yunting was snoring with his arms around Xinna's seventh concubine.

Lu Xinglu had just dismissed his staff and had just slept soundly in the study.

When they were arrested, they all resisted violently.

But the resistance was ineffective, the opponent was too cunning, the broken door was not the gate, but a small one.

The basic door is opened, and there is no way for people to escape.

Aristocratic families always have some strength.

After discovering something was wrong, some people wanted to make a big noise. However, after sneaking out, they quickly retreated because martial law was imposed on the street.

His Majesty the Emperor mobilized the army at some point and sealed the entire capital airtight.

After receiving the news, Taishi Wei and Taishi Lu knew that they could not engage in petty tricks in private, so they immediately changed their court clothes and wanted to enter the palace to appeal for grievances.

So there are only two ways they can go, one is to use their own private soldiers to fight against His Majesty's army.

This is obviously inappropriate, to act hastily is tantamount to suicide; the other is to keep the door behind closed doors and wait for the result.

After careful consideration, both Lu and Webster chose to keep the door behind closed doors and wait for the result.

After all, Lu's and Wei's have been in business for hundreds of years, and their power is not only in Beijing, but also spread all over the country.

If the new emperor did not have conclusive evidence, he would not dare to mess with them, otherwise the entire Li country's economy might collapse.

When Queen Mother Wei received the news, it was already after dawn.

She thought about it, and rushed to Zhaoren Palace crying, wanting to explain the "misunderstanding" to Chonghua.

Discuss it carefully with him again, when the tea fighting meeting is coming, it is a very serious matter to cause such a mess.

However, Chonghua was not in the palace at all.

Zheng Gangzhong led a team of imperial guards to surround Zhaoren Palace and Qingxin Palace tightly, and Li Xiaoshou refused to let her in even though his mouth was dry.

Empress Dowager Wei was furious: "I have urgent matters to see Your Majesty, who dares to stop me? Anyone who stops me will die!"

Zheng Gangzhong was stubborn to the end: "This humble minister is willing to be loyal to His Majesty."

Although the combination of Wei and Lu is very powerful, His Majesty the Emperor has already controlled most of the forces in the army.

If it is really head-to-head, it will definitely be of no benefit to Wei Shi and Lu Shi, and both sides will suffer.

Li Xiaoshou persuaded Empress Dowager Wei: "Your Majesty, go back first."

Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to leave like this?
What will happen to her in the future as a dignified queen mother?
Empress Dowager Wei supported her forehead and yelled: "I'm killing you." She fell back straight and passed out.

The news that the empress dowager was seriously ill was passed on to Chonghua over and over again by the palace people.

Chonghua remained indifferent, and proceeded methodically according to the plan.

He waited for this day for a long time, and finally waited until Webster and Lu dug their own graves.
