Chen Palace

Chapter 53 The Devious Way
All the ministers whispered under the steps, and it was not until Yuan Qi ascended the throne that they fell silent.

"Everyone may be guessing what happened last night that forced me to call you here in a hurry."

Yuan Qi glanced at everyone, his face sinking like water, and he couldn't see any expression. Several trusted ministers knew his nature, and secretly groaned in their hearts.

"Since the founding of the first emperor in my court, all the ministers and workers have worked together with one heart and one mind. They have dedicated themselves to death. There are those who die after death. They are diligent and active, and those who caress one side can be seen everywhere..."

When he opened his mouth, it was actually a compliment.

"However, there are also first-class owls and beasts who are so mad that they open their eyes for the enemy!"

The emperor changed the subject and became extremely sharp. He gave a slight signal: "Bring him up!"

The two imperial guards obeyed their orders and dragged one person in from outside the palace. The sharp-eyed one had already seen that it was the former colleague, He Fei, the low-key and courteous servant of the Ministry of Rites.

His whole body was covered in blood stains and smoky marks, and he looked really embarrassed. After being frightened in the middle of the night, he was still in shock, and his face was pale and blue.

"This is my good subject, a good citizen of the Celestial Dynasty, Mr. He Fei, the Tatar assassin last night was captured at his house."

Yuan Qi finished speaking in a sarcastic tone, and there was already an uproar in the hall. Some courtiers had been frightened for a long time after listening to the words "Tartar Assassin" in their ears. , burning with anger, wishing he could go up and slap and kick him a few times.

He Fei raised his head, but he wasn't afraid, he just murmured: "The daylight doesn't reflect my sincerity, so why..."

Yuan Qi sneered: "God has eyes, why would he care for a rebellious minister like you?"

"I'm not a traitor!!"

He Fei shouted loudly, his voice was extremely shrill——

"The one I am assisting is the real one!!"

He has always followed the way of Confucius and Mencius, and after hearing the slanderous words of this rebellious official and traitor, he couldn't bear the insult, so he shouted out desperately.

Before the words came out, he already felt something was wrong, and his face became even paler.

But the emperor didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words. He sneered and said, "The Tatars are your true sons? Haven't you heard the words of the sages: It is better to have no king in Diyi than to have no king in China? You Are you considered a disciple of a saint?!"

The officials below are not fools, they are all elites who have been immersed in the officialdom for a long time. When they heard He Fei's words, they felt very strange. It's just that the emperor thought in the direction of "Di Yi", and they dared not make a sound. It is uncertain.

He Fei stared straight at the ground without saying a word.

Yuan Qi's words became sharper and vicious: "You are disloyal to the king, and you are also distrustful to your friends-Jing Wang has always loved and valued your talent. Last autumn, he personally went to your home to ask for 'Qiu Ju Fu', and made you irresistible. How did you repay him?!"

He turned his head and looked down at the ministers: "I will also let you see the methods of this beast - there are assassins hidden in his house, and he has repeatedly attacked important officials in the court for several days. king!!"

This sound was like a bolt from the blue, and even He Fei was stunned. He raised his head suddenly, and suddenly felt that he had fallen into a huge trap.

Yuan Qi just sneered and stopped talking.Qin Xi, who was beside him, motioned to pick up the topographic map that was smudged brown from the plate, and showed it to all the officials.

On the top, although the figure is blurred, it can still be discerned faintly. It is the topographical map of Prince Jing's Mansion. The pavilions, towers, pavilions, and houses are all clearly drawn.On King Jing's dormitory, a bright red cross was drawn, which obviously meant to clean up.

They rushed forward to watch, and it was bustling and lively for a while.

Standing outside the hall, Chen Lu watched the grand scene with Qu Yun, a smile flickered across her lips.

"Among these people, there are also people with deep thoughts, and it is possible that they will have doubts about the scene in front of them, but no one dares to speak out."

In the main hall, the emperor continued to say: "The assassins have already been killed, but some of them are left alive. They learned that I will entrust Youzhou to King Jing, and they have such an evil heart."

There was another burst of noise among the ministers. A few days ago, more than a dozen relatives and nobles jointly wrote a letter, imploring the general to confer an important town in Kyushu to King Jing as a fiefdom. The reason is very high-sounding. It is actually the pillar of the country.At that time, the emperor stayed in the middle school and did not send it, but in the end he still adopted their opinions?

Yuan Qi continued: "If Youzhou has a prince to sit in the town, it will be very detrimental to the expansion of the Tatars, so they joined forces with He Fei, a scum, and wanted to kill my brother!!"

His tone trembled slightly, obviously he was extremely sad and indignant, and all the officials knew that he and King Jing had always been on good terms, so they couldn't help feeling sad.

Watching his wonderful performance, Chen Lu couldn't help smiling and said, "Yuan Qi's move is really amazing——"

Her gaze was like a torch, and she could tell at a glance that He Fei was the secret confidant of King Jing, so the assassin secretly kept by King Jing was in his residence.

These people killed Liu Ying, the general of the Beijing camp, and had already violated the emperor's Nilin, so they asked the secret envoy to wipe them out and deal a heavy blow to King Jing, but they again planted the matter on the Tatars. To put the finishing touches on this matter, connect this matter with the "reward fiefdom" that was raging a few days ago, so that King Jing can't tell the pain
At this time, the people in the hall were already full of anger. Since the establishment of the Celestial Empire, although there were also defeats, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the heavens and the earth were clear, and Tatar assassins were allowed to run rampant, and even the imperial officials participated in it. This is really a disgrace to the Celestial Empire.

"Look at the good advice you played, almost let my beloved brother die in the hands of the assassin?!"

Yuan Qi glanced at the dozens of relatives and nobles who had joined forces to make fiefdoms a few days ago, and let them fight and sweat profusely.

These people are either the characters in King Jing's pocket, who are originally all-in-one, or they are following the trend. Seeing the queen mother kissing King Jing, they want to show favor in advance, and get promotions and titles from the current prince. capital.This time, he patted the horse's hoof, but secretly complained.

"Qian Xi, you have been the most active in the past few days. You have linked up with your relatives and children, and you have written a letter to me, asking Jing Wang to practice a lot—do you want him to practice until the hell is closed?"

The emperor named the second son-in-law, but his anger still persisted: "You don't care about the affairs of your own ministry, but you talk nonsense about state affairs. Go home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors these few days-get off!!"

He swept his eyes over the son-in-law Sun Ming, nodded his head lightly to express his approval, and continued: "This incident has also taught me a great lesson—deliver the decree!"

There was a mischievous sneer on his lips: "Youzhou still gave King Jing a fiefdom, but this place is in a dangerous location, and it is the gateway to the Central Plains. The so-called crime of carrying jade, I can't let my younger brother be in danger, so the country sent a Long Shi is in charge, Jing Wang only needs to be in the middle of the capital to get it!?"

Chen Lu almost burst out laughing after hearing these high-sounding words——

How could there be such a cunning and smooth person in this world? !

Standing outside the hall, she looked at the handsome and handsome emperor from a distance, her smile slowly subsided. Under the sunlight, she narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking of the sudden arrival of the team in the middle of the night, and the leader——

Last night, the crowd was burning and killing them, and they were about to evacuate, but they heard the sound of orderly footsteps from the other side of the street, about a hundred people.

Qu Yun's face changed slightly: "Could it be the subordinate of the nine admirals?"

Chen Lu shook her head at that time: "The sound of such uniform footsteps, if you listen carefully, actually carries the murderous aura of the army, it is definitely not a garrison in the city.

When the team came to the wall, the leader raised his voice and shouted: "Which tall man shot this arrow?"

Chen Lu heard it, and it was very familiar. Qu Yun swept to the top of the wall, looked carefully, and was shocked——

"It's Wang Peizhi, the great general of the Shangzhu Kingdom, who has already retired at home."

In Chenlu's mind, a boy with a hippie smile flashed
At that time, he and Yuan Xu were brothers in love, and she went down the mountain as promised to join the rebel army, but he said in disdain: "Women are so delicate, how good it is to embroider at home!"

It wasn't until she won nine battles and won nine battles that she established her prestige in the army, and the heroes of the world were gathered in Tongguan, that he was convinced: "Sister-in-law, you are really good, brother really has vision!"

"Who is your sister-in-law... If you talk nonsense again, watch out for your mouth being sewn up!"

At that time, she was still as spoiled as a young girl, and she was ashamed and annoyed, and said harsh words.

In this deep night, she stood on the other side of the wall, did not see him, but remembered the laughter from a long time ago——

Sister-in-law, you are really amazing...
