Chapter 70
While the General's Mansion was in harmony, a nursery rhyme suddenly spread in the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

More than a dozen children were running on the street, singing unceasingly: the most talkative Luo Susu, who married Shangshu as his wife, bluntly said that the queen is the ruler, and everything in Daxia is under her control!
It's just a few simple words, but it's creepy to hear.

The streets and alleys are always the places where rumors spread the fastest. Such a nursery rhyme spread all over the capital in no time, and both adults and children can sing it.There are also quite a few people who have compiled these nursery rhymes into stories one by one, telling them so vividly that they almost acted out what happened in the shogunate in person.

Officials, big and small, lived on the streets of Kyoto, so rumors naturally reached their ears.However, Liu Zhiyi's family was not included among them.

At this moment, Liu's mansion is safe and sound, Liu Zhiyi and Luo Susu can be considered to be in harmony with each other, and the servants of Liu's mansion are not aware of this matter at all.

It was only when Li Qiguang reported the matter to the emperor the next day at the Golden Luan Hall that Liu Zhiyi realized it.

"Snapped!"

The emperor looked angry and threw the memorial in front of Liu Zhiyi.

"Liu Aiqing, look at the wonderful wife you married!"

Liu Zhi was also puzzled, picked up the memorial and glanced at ten lines.Looking at the memorial, Liu Zhiyi's hands trembled, and his lips trembled unconsciously.

Kneeling suddenly on the ground, Liu Zhiyi cried out: "Your Majesty, this is all a frame-up, a frame-up! Even if Susu had the guts, she wouldn't dare to speak such nonsense! Someone must have a grudge against this humble minister, so That's why I framed this humble official! Your Majesty, this humble official is dedicated to Great Xia, and his loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, please let your majesty learn from it!"

Hearing this, the emperor sneered: "Well, you Liu Zhiyi, if you say this memorial is fake, are the nursery rhymes sung on the streets of Kyoto also fake? Or are you going to deceive me as a fool and say that those children are all fake? People bribed you, just to frame you? I don’t know, your wife will say that, even my Great Xia Jiangshan is not in my eyes!”

Liu Zhi also stared wide-eyed, anxious and uneasy: "Your Majesty, my humble minister's wish! The wife of my humble minister is just a commoner, born in a poor family, and can't read a few big characters, so how could she offend Tianyan by saying such things?" Come with outrageous words!"

"According to what you mean, the people in the capital are all blind, spreading false rumors just to frame you?" The emperor's expression was cloudy, and the disdain in his eyes was so obvious.

At this time, Liu Zhi also understood that the emperor believed the rumors, and made up his mind to blame him.Just like Shangguan Zhenyu was suspended for no apparent reason before, the same thing still happened to Liu Zhiyi after all.

Liu Zhiyi's disheveled eyes fell on everyone's eyes as if he was pleading guilty, Zhang Cheng frowned, maybe he wanted to excuse Liu Zhiyi, but the emperor always knew that they were together, once Zhang Cheng opened his mouth, he said no This matter will come to him.

Under balance, Zhang Cheng can only take one step at a time.

When everyone was silent, Shangguan Zhenyu suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Seeing Shangguan Zhenyu, the emperor's face became better.After all, he was someone the emperor trusted. Even though the emperor punished Shangguan Zhenyu for his trust, the emperor had to admit that in his heart, Shangguan Zhenyu was trustworthy.Otherwise, it would not have been just a one-month suspension.

"Shangguan Aiqing just say it."

Hearing this, Shangguan Zhenyu glanced at Liu Zhiyi, and Liu Zhiyi immediately knew that he was finished.He treated Shangguan Zhenyu like that before, now that Shangguan Zhenyu stepped forward, he must have given him a fatal blow!

Thinking of this, Liu Zhiyi looked at Zhang Cheng with a pair of cloudy eyes, but saw Zhang Cheng's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see his thoughts at all.The Xian Wang also stood aside, watching the development of the situation, and had no intention of speaking.

At this moment, Liu Zhiyi felt some complaints towards the two of them.They were originally grasshoppers on a rope, but when life and death were at stake, it was not uncommon for them to abandon their car to save their handsome man.

No matter what Liu Zhiyi thinks at the moment, no one knows.

"Reporting to the emperor, according to what Liu Shangshu said, Mrs. Liu was born in the market. She has never studied the Four Books and Five Classics, and she doesn't even know the characters. In this way, it is understandable for Mrs. Liu to not know the rituals of the Great Xia. She said such words Thinking about it is just a momentary impulse. Liu Shangshu is an old man in the court, and there is only Mrs. Liu as his wife. This humble minister has the courage to implore the emperor to punish him lightly!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Liu Zhi also looked at Shangguan Zhenyu in disbelief, as if he did not expect Shangguan Zhenyu to speak for him.

Over there, Zhang Cheng and Xian Wang were stunned for a moment, but they came to their senses.Although Shangguan Zhenyu seemed to be for Liu Zhiyi, he unknowingly convicted Russell to death!Moreover, Shangguan Zhenyu quietly dug a hole for Liu Zhiyi.

How did Russell get here? Many people in the court knew about it. At that time, many people used it as a topic of conversation and added jokes after dinner.At that time, the emperor was dissatisfied with him, but Liu Zhiyi happened to solve a big case for the court at that time, and no one was involved in this matter, so the emperor turned a blind eye.Perhaps, the emperor actually took this matter as a handle. He didn't mention it at the time, but waited until Liu Zhiyi was out of control, and used this matter as an excuse to abolish Liu Zhiyi.

This kind of thing is not surprising for the current emperor of Daxia.

Therefore, when Shangguan Zhenyu said such words now, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the emperor at that time.At the same time, there is another meaning.

Sure enough, after hearing Shangguan Zhenyu's words, the emperor did not doubt Shangguan Zhenyu's intention at all, but his face was more ugly than before.

"The common people are illiterate and don't know the laws of the Great Xia, so they can act recklessly and don't take me seriously? Shangguan Aiqing, you have always been calm and intelligent, and you will be so stupid!"

These words seemed to be reprimanding Shangguan Zhenyu, but in fact the emperor said every sentence to Liu Zhiyi, and also to the courtiers in the Jinluan Palace.At the same time, the emperor was much less wary of Shangguan Zhenyu in his heart, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind that Shangguan Zhenyu was old, his mind was not as good as before, and his temper became more gentle.

With this thought in mind, for a long period of time after that, the emperor did not deliberately attack Shangguan Zhenyu again.

His sharp eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and the emperor's eyes fell on King Xian.

Liu Zhiyi is an official to Shangshu, if something happens, it will be a bad thing for him.In this way, King Xian planned to push all the matter to Luo Susu and pick Liu Zhiyi out.

However, the emperor did not give him this chance.

"It is my will that Liu Zhiyi's wife will be imprisoned for violating the authority and national prestige, and will be executed on a certain day! Liu Zhiyi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, has misbehaved and abolished his position as minister. Director of Zhan Shifu. Besides, Russell speaks wild words, so there is no need for tongues! Retire!"
