Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 351 The Pit Depth 078 Meters Confrontation (4)
The emperor's attitude towards Xiao Qian was like this, and several powerful officials were pondering their intentions in their hearts, but no one said anything.

Inside the warm pavilion, it was eerily quiet, and a needle could be heard.

There was a moment of silence, and Xie Chen sneered and accused: "Xiao Shijun is so arrogant, His Majesty has invited you three times and five times, but he can wait until this hour? Is this waiting for His Majesty to send you dinner?"

Xiao Qian teased him lightly, "If I had come early, how would the Prime Minister have the opportunity to tell stories before His Majesty?"

Xie Chen's old face darkened, and he turned to stare at him.But looking at his cool and sharp eyes for a moment, his heart felt a little hairy, so he gave up bickering with him, turned his head to tell Zhihua Emperor, and asked the eunuch Li Fu to hand over the copybook of Shen Xiaoqian. He said coldly, "How does Mr. Xiao explain it?"

Xiao Qian casually flipped through the folder and closed the booklet, "If you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it."

Perhaps affected by his calm expression, Xie Chen suddenly felt that the chair under his buttocks was a bit hard.Since the emperor and several ministers were there, he moved his buttocks slightly to find a more comfortable position, and then sneered, "Your Majesty is going to court this morning, let Xiao Shijun defend himself, and you can tell me the truth." Come?"

Xiao Qian put his hands on his knees, sat upright and indifferent, with that handsome appearance of peerless elegance but without desires, even if he didn't say anything, it would be difficult for people to associate him with "rebellion" equal sign.All the ministers originally thought that he would have bad luck today, but now that the emperor is innocent and Xiao Qian is not at all alarmed, those who bet on Xie Chen to win in their hearts are not at ease, and their eyes are nailed to him body.

But he didn't look at anyone, and only calmly said to Emperor Zhihua: "First, my sister-in-law is not a Mohist giant. Second, the stolen military supplies have always been in the hands of Prime Minister Xie. Xiao searched through Zhao Jidu, I didn't find it, so why did you say it was detained?"

Xie Chen was stunned: "Xiao Qian, you are so bloody, you have obviously robbed those supplies."

Xiao Qian's eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips curled upwards, "Where did I rob it? And how did I rob it? Prime Minister, don't forget, from whom did those supplies go missing? Why did you disappear in Zhaojidu? The prime minister wants to clear the name of the guilty minister Xie Bingsheng, and use me as a stepping stone?"

"Nonsense!" Xie Chen was furious.

At Zhao Jidu that day, he originally wanted to take away the batch of military supplies and hand them over to the imperial court to wipe Xie Bingsheng's butt, so that Emperor Hua would not have any suspicion against him.But on the way of the transfer, a group of "Cheng Yaojin" suddenly appeared, dressed in the costumes of bandits, killed the transferer, robbed the military supplies, and never disappeared.At that time, he suspected that it was Xiao Qian who did it, but there was no proof. Now that he has witness evidence, how can he allow Xiao Qian to be exonerated?
"Xiao Qian asked the imperial army to pretend to be bandits, robbing and killing people, and now he dares to bite back." After saying that, Xie Chen got up from his chair, cupped his hands to greet the emperor, and bowed his head to report: "Your Majesty, those few luckily survived from Zhao Jidu The soldiers have been handed over to the Yushitai for trial. Whether Xiao Qian robbed the goods and killed people will be determined at that time."

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment, looked at the people in the hall, slowly reached into his arms, took out the things that Gu Er brought to him yesterday, asked the eunuch Li Fu to hand them over to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, This is evidence of the collusion between Xiao Qian and Beimeng. This is a big matter, and it is inconvenient for the old ministers to present it in the early court. Your Majesty will know from a glance that Xiao Qian is ambitious and has many contacts with the Mengmen in Mobei. This letter is the evidence. "

Emperor Zhihua took the letter and read it.

The contents of the letter were written in Beimeng characters, which he did not recognize.

So he shook the letter paper, and he put the letter on the table with an uneasy face.

"What's written on it?"

What is an emperor? It is a "god" who grants imperial power. How can others question his authority?This thank you can be regarded as extreme joy begets sorrow. I made a mistake, but I handed over a letter that the emperor couldn't understand. Didn't I deliberately embarrass the emperor?Slightly startled, he came to his senses and knelt down, "Your Majesty, the old minister is here to explain your Majesty's doubts."

He bowed forward and took the letter.

Everyone in the Nuan Pavilion was nervous, but Xiao Qian's expression was calm.

After Xie Chen's clarification, everyone understood that the contents of the letter were indeed letters between Xiao Qian and Beimeng Khan, and the content involved the defense of both sides, but it was a bit far-fetched to call it "rebellion".After hearing this, Emperor Hua frowned, and asked Li Fu to hand over the letter to Xiao Qian for review.

"Xiao Aiqing, what's going on?"

Xiao Qian only glanced at the seal of the letter, and did not take it away to read, "Your Majesty, these years, Beimeng and Nanrong have been friendly, and they both suffered from the disaster of the Pun people. It is the general trend to unite to fight against Pun. Your Majesty has reported it, so how can you tell me about treason?" At this point, he smiled and looked at Xie Chen, "I would like to ask Prime Minister Xie, where did you get my private letter?"

In today's world, the northern Ping country has a strong army and horses, and often disturbs the neighboring countries. The Beimeng tribe has no choice but to bow down to the Ping country and become a small one, but they are not reconciled in private.Since the enemy of the enemy is a friend, there is no old grudge between Nanrong and Beimeng, and it is indeed a good strategy to unite to fight against Fen - the most important thing is that Xiao Qian did report this matter to Emperor Zhihua.

Xie Chen saw that Emperor Hua's expression was slightly condensed, it seemed that this was indeed the case, he couldn't help feeling annoyed, and scolded Xiao Qian for being treacherous, unexpectedly he had taken precautions long ago.He always felt that this matter was a bit tricky, and he wanted to say a few words at first, but Huadi gradually became a little impatient.In these years, the peace in Nanrong has almost no wars. It is indeed Xiao Qian who has made great contributions.Xie Chen didn't believe in Xiao Qian, but he didn't dare to question the emperor.Seeing this, he quickly changed the subject, only focusing on Mo Jiu's identity.

"How can Xiao Shijun defend himself about the Mohist giant?"

Xiao Qian glanced at him lightly, "Xiao Mou said that the sister-in-law is not a rich man."

Xie Chen snorted coldly, greeted Emperor Zhihua, got his consent, turned around and roared: "Bring people up!"

Soon, the door of the Nuan Pavilion was pushed open, and several men and women dressed in folk costumes walked in against the cold wind. Among them was an old woman who was Mrs. Wang who delivered Mo Jiu in Xuyi back then, and the other was Xiao Dalang and his wife. The hole yin and yang of Mojiuhe horoscope——
