Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 323 Chapter 370~370
In fact, the whole plan was based on Huo Shijiu's deep understanding of the temperament of the British Duke and Dai Lin and his most sensible calculations.

Confronting an opponent who is disparate in strength and arrogant and suspicious, attacking the heart is the best policy.

Dai Lin obviously believed Jiang Wu's words at this time, and was convinced that Jiang Wu was the emperor's man. She bowed her hands and said sincerely:

"The strong man is the emperor's confidant, please give me some good words in front of the emperor. In the past, I mistrusted people's words and made a wrong step to lead to today's situation. I didn't expect that old British thief to be so ruthless. I regret that I should have done that , I don’t ask for anything else, I just ask for my crimes and meritorious deeds, and serve the emperor! I also ask the emperor to show my sincerity and forgive my past sins.”

Jiang Wu also stood up and said with a smile: "The emperor knows that you are only being deceived for a while, and the emperor is a wise gentleman who loves talents. It is the time when he is looking for talents and thirsty, so just rest assured, Mr. Dai. Besides, if the emperor does not trust you , now I will not come to your house either."

Didn't Dai Lin know that the little emperor was willing to let go of the past, but there was actually no other way?But when the British Duke is already unreliable and may be detrimental to himself, relying on the emperor is the only way.If he said no, the ugly man in front of him would kill him immediately, and he couldn't stand it.

As night fell, the palace walls were brightly lit, and the guards patrolled in groups as usual, without any abnormality.

At this time, in the courtyard where the Imperial Study Room is located, there are twice as many guards in front of the gate and around the courtyard than usual, and they are all unfamiliar faces.

In the imperial study room, a bloody smell that could not be dispelled in the air filled his nostrils. The little emperor sat at the head with a pale face. Not to mention how pale and ugly his face was.

In the open space in front of him, there were corpses lying all over the ground. These people were all dressed as imperial guards, and they were clearly those who were on duty in the imperial study.

"Brother Ying..." The little emperor's voice trembled, and he looked at Huo Shijiu inquiringly.

Huo Shijiu comforted him: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. In this way, the Imperial Study Room will be safe, and there will be no British princes. Moran has checked around and confirmed that there is no future trouble. You can rest assured."

"But the Duke of England has just left, so let's get rid of all the people he arranged. If he wants to find out something, or if he suddenly enters the palace and can't see anyone, how can he explain it? Will he be forced to turn back in advance? ?”

There was deep fear in the little emperor's words, which showed that he had no idea in his heart about this action.

Huo Shijiu frowned slightly. It was not what he expected that the little emperor could not afford such a burden.He just pulled out a few nails and scared people like this. What if he went to the Golden Luan Hall tomorrow?
But towards the little emperor, he was very soft-hearted.How old is the little emperor?After all, I haven't experienced so many things, and these years in the hands of the British government have been depressing enough.

"Don't worry, your majesty, it won't happen." Huo Shijiu stepped over several corpses and walked in front of the little emperor, blocking his sight with his body: "We have already planned all this, right? There is no other way, this is the best way. Although outsiders seem to be risky, but the emperor knows that, with the temperament of the British Duke, this way is the safest way."

The little emperor nodded, it is indeed the case. When he agreed to this method earlier, he had carefully rehearsed the whole process countless times in his heart. So far, he has successfully pulled out the nails of the imperial study room, and the plan has always been in an orderly manner. In progress.

Seeing the emperor nodded nervously, Huo Shijiu sighed softly: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that I will be by your side. Regardless of success or failure."

If he wins, the control of the Great Yan Dynasty will completely return to the hands of the emperor in the future.There is no such power traitor dictating outside, and he no longer has to be low-key and petty. Not only has he taken back the country and power, but he has also completed the things that the previous emperor did not finish back then. The most important thing is that he has paid for it. Father feud!
Thinking of this, the little emperor strengthened his mind and nodded: "Brother Ying, I believe in you. I have always believed in you."

He looked up at him with dependent eyes, which made Huo Shijiu feel sour in his heart.

The phrase "believe" was not what he wanted.It was never just a few nice words that he wanted.Do you really believe that you will order people to slaughter his family like him?
After all, Huo Shijiu was a caring person, and the emperor's behavior touched his bottom line.

The little emperor was full of fear for what was coming, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ying, these people... are these corpses going to stay here?"

"We have to stay here for the time being. After tomorrow, we will naturally know that we are going to clean up the imperial study, or that the British Duke is going to clean up this place. May I send you back to the dormitory?"

As soon as he heard that he could leave this bloody place, the little emperor nodded again and again, went out with Huo Jiujiu and Cao Yu, took Jingtong and Xiaolu with him in the corridor, and walked back as usual.

Huo Shijiu's cronies were left in the courtyard of the imperial study room, and they have been strictly guarded. No matter who it is, no one can approach this place.

Huo Shijiu sent the little emperor back to the bedroom and was about to leave the palace, but the little emperor took Huo Jiujiu's hand and said, "Brother Ying, don't go back today, stay in the palace, the left and right sisters are not at home... ...:"

He was really scared, and also really uneasy. He said the words without thinking about them, but he never thought about Huo Jiujiu's feelings.

Huo Shijiu was originally worried about Jiang Wu's safety, but after hearing the words, he finally let go of his heart, and said in his mouth: "I obey the order, and I will go out of the palace after I have something to do." But he began to speculate about Jiang Wu's situation in his heart .

In Dai Lin's mansion, I don't know what the situation is. This night he and Cao Yu stayed by the emperor's side probably to spend a sleepless night discussing tomorrow's affairs, but what about Jiang Wu who is in the "enemy camp"?
Cao Yu looked out the window at night as thick as splashed ink, and his heart was also on Jiang Wu.I don't know if she is going well today, even if Du Duojiang is following and protecting her, they are still worried.

In the Yingbin Pavilion, Wenda Jiahui was drinking by himself, while Namu knelt beside him on one knee, lowered his voice and replied in golden words: "...everything is as usual in the Marquis Mansion today, but the protection is normal. Twice as strict. Even if our people want to sneak into the Hou's mansion, it is impossible. We can only watch from the outside."

"Oh?" Wen Da Jiahui put down the white porcelain jug, and said with a smile: "This is strange. The defense in the residence of the Marquis of Jinning is already strict, so how can you step up the guards?"

"The minister is also strange."

Wen Da Jiahui thought for a while, then said, "Where are the rest of the surveillance people?"

"The ones who were watching are still there. It's still the same as usual. I guess they also found out."

Squinting his eyes and pondering for a moment, Wen Da Jiahui said: "In this case, you secretly arrange someone to protect the Hou's mansion, especially pay attention to the safety of my adopted son."

"His Majesty?"

Wenda Jiahun shook his head and remained silent.However, my heart gradually cleared up as if the fog had been lifted.

Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu probably have something to do.His people can see that the mansion is tightly guarded, and those who are watching must be able to.But this is just the beginning, and it is not likely that the other party will act immediately.At any rate, he should do his part to help Jiang Wu prevent problems before they happen.Before he left Dayan.

"Just do as I tell you."

Namu didn't dare to have any objection, he hurriedly bowed and withdrew.

The little emperor didn't come to the court early on weekdays, and he would only show up at the court meeting on a whim. The rest of the time, the court affairs were always handled by the British government.

However, since the last time the British public led people to besiege Jinning Hou's mansion, there have been many people who originally said that the British male tiger and wolf had evil intentions.The little emperor's absurd comments made some people see the meaning of forbearance.

In the court room on weekdays, there are many Qingliu civil servants discussing these shamelessly. Obviously, they are not court humerus, and they have not done anything for the Great Yan Dynasty.Although the British prince was in power, he still heard the buzzing like flies of those low-ranking officials.

But recently he sat face to face with the Ninth Prince on the only arhat bed placed by the window in the facing room, listening to those disturbing comments, he was not as angry as usual.

Those people haven't been jumping around for a few days, and it's up to him how to deal with them in the future. For the time being, he regards this as the last test of years of patience, and the people who control Lu Tianming will arrive within ten days.

The Ninth Prince was older than the Duke of England, thin and thin, with a gray beard and an upright and dignified face.Because the two of them have a higher status, they are sitting here. In the eyes of the ministers, the two have had some friendship for a long time on the basis of not interfering with each other.

The Ninth Prince sipped his tea and asked with a smile: "Why do I see that the Duke of England looks so good today? Could it be that the family has found some panacea to prolong life? Someday I will introduce this king to eat, maybe he will be able to rejuvenate his youth." Woolen cloth."

"The Ninth Prince is really good at joking." The British Duke said with a smile: "The Prince is a nobleman, what kind of status are you? Do you want any pills to prolong your life? You are actually joking with me right now."

"The British Duke's words are wrong. Who doesn't know the position of the British Duke in the ruling and opposition parties? Without you, there would be no peace in the days of the Great Yan Dynasty. Those good things, regardless of whether they are rewarded by the emperor or respected by the subordinates, are still Don't they all be sent to the Duke's mansion like water? Compared with the ones in this mansion, I'm afraid it's not enough."

The Duke of England rolled his eyes when he heard the words, "You are a majestic prince, you don't know how to be ashamed to say such bitter words to this old man."

"Where is this king's sourness? It is clearly telling the truth."

……

The two quarreled as usual, but the British prince didn't care about it, and just passed the time, anyway, the emperor didn't go to court anyway.In the future, when he ascends to that position, he still has a lot of things to do. Isn't it just a matter of taking care of the old miscellaneous prince?Who would have known what deliberations had taken place between them.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of mixed footsteps outside Chaofang.Xiao Nei waited on the porch, lifted the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang to come in, saluted and said: "My lords, please move to Fengtian Hall, the emperor ordered the early court."

Everyone was amazed when they heard this.What the hell is going on with the emperor today, that he is going to court early?
The British official laughed when he heard the words.

When I met you in the imperial study room yesterday, the little emperor was quite proud in his words, and he didn't have the respect he had before, and his words had a bit more the courage that he had when he was an emperor to his subjects, and he even teased the birds Said him caringly:
"The Duke of England is getting old, and the court affairs are the most tiring and boring, and those things outside are really annoying to deal with, I know it. Thanks to your hard work these years, now I am getting older Well, it’s not good to deal with state affairs and it always makes the British government tired, I plan to learn these days, and it’s time for the blue batch to return to the Zhu batch.”

When he heard it, he almost twisted his nose in anger.

Why has he served the country for so many years, but now the little emperor has broken up with him? What's the matter, what he dealt with in the government is in vain, and he wants to take back his rights?
Thinking of this, the British Duke held his breath in his heart, and with a sneer on his face, he stood up to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Ninth Prince, and casually walked towards Fengtian Hall.The rest of the ministers spontaneously lined up in two rows behind the two of them.

In the Fengtian Hall, the little emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting majestically on the dragon chair, but he didn't wait until the civil and military ministers stood still before arriving late as usual.Sitting in this high position, watching the Duke of England and the Ninth Prince lead the group of officials in, his heart also lifted.

Looking at those familiar or unfamiliar faces, he really couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether the other party would be loyal to him, whether he was loyal to him on the surface, but he was loyal to the British Duke in his heart, or something else.

The little emperor even wondered, did Huo Shijiu already know that he ordered people to intercept and kill his family members?If he knew that he was the culprit who killed his parents and relatives, how would Huo Shijiu deal with it?Will he continue to be loyal to him, or will he take the opportunity to turn back?

And the old British man, such a smart person, would he have told Huo Shijiu the truth he guessed long ago?Would Huo Shijiu's words of loyalty to the death in front of the British public last time be words against his will?
The little emperor even wondered whether a stubborn person like Jiang Wu would really follow their plan step by step.

Thinking of the inconvenient corpses still piled up in the imperial study room, thinking of the tragic image of those guards who died tragically when they closed their eyes in the dormitory yesterday, blood splattered corpses lying all over the ground, and then thinking that if I fail this time, the ending may be worse than those of those guards. The guards are not going to be any better.

He felt drenched in cold sweat.Even though he was sitting on the dragon chair, his back was still straight.

He thought about it for a long time, and the real time was only breaths. When all the civil and military officials stood still, the little emperor continued to order as usual: "The Ninth Prince and the Duke of England are older, it is not appropriate to stand and talk, give me a seat."

"Abiding by the order." Jing Tong responded, and immediately ordered the little servant to carry two mahogany grand master chairs.One on the left and one on the right are placed under the imperial steps.

The Ninth Prince respectfully saluted the little emperor to thank him, and then sat down slowly.

But the British Duke just bowed in vain, and sat upright with a big horse and a golden knife, and took the small rhino horn comb that he carried with him all day to smooth out his beard gently.The posture is leisurely, as if waiting to see how the little emperor will behave.

He wants to see what kind of tricks the little monkey cub can make when he suddenly says he wants to go to court.

The emperor glanced at Jing Tong.

Jing Tong understood immediately, cleared his throat and sang loudly: "The emperor has a decree, if there is a book, he will play it early, if there is no book, he will retreat from the court."

As soon as the words fell, the British Duke raised half of his lips and let out a sneer.

The emperor, who usually only cares about playing and ignores government affairs, took the initiative to gather the ministers of civil and military affairs to Fengtian Hall today. Although these are what the emperor should do, they are not the way a little emperor behaves.He made this unprecedented move, he just said yes if he had something to say, and he is still here pretending to ask the minister if he has a copy, which is really ridiculous.

The Duke of England and the Ninth Prince sat closest to the little emperor, and the slightest change in their expressions could not escape the little emperor's eyes.The little emperor even heard a sneer from the Duke of England in the originally quiet hall where the needle drop could be heard.

His face was immediately stained red with anger, he clenched his teeth, and there was infinite yearning in his heart.

Very good, as long as today's matter is resolved.From now on, he will no longer have to look at this old man's wink to live, he can finally live like an emperor, and he doesn't have to continue to be humble...

The little emperor was full of confidence and fighting spirit, and even his sitting posture was quite correct.

But after waiting for a while, no one played the book!
The tense smile on the little emperor's face couldn't hold back anymore.

Originally in Huo Nineteen's plan, when he came to court today, someone should come to impeach the Duke of England.

But why is there no one speaking now?

At such a time, the scene is cold, how do you want him to continue singing?
Could it be that these people really turned against each other?
The little emperor was flustered, disturbed like a cat scratching. He even thought about the suspicion just now. In such a cold situation, how could he know that Huo Jiujiu had really rebelled?
The British Duke raised his eyes casually, and seeing the anxious look of the little emperor, he felt more and more funny in his heart, and the smile on his face also widened.

Very good, he wants to let this little frozen cat have a taste, understand how hard he has been dealing with the court affairs these years, how difficult these people are to get along with, how can he take advantage of it enough, he will take back his power, I have never seen such a person who unloads the grind and kills the donkey.

Seeing the quietness in the palace, sweat dripped from the corners of Jing Tong's forehead. Although he didn't know the specific plan of the operation, he also knew that this was the critical moment for the emperor, and his wealth and life depended on the little emperor. body.If the emperor is defeated, is he still alive?

Jing Tong cleared his throat again, and sang loudly: "If there is a book to play early, there is no book to retreat!"

Just when the quiet air in Fengtian Hall seemed to suffocate the little emperor, a censor suddenly stood up from the crowd and said loudly: "Return to the emperor, I have an answer!"

Seeing this man, the little emperor's heart hung even higher.This person is not someone else, but another honest and loyal one after Jiang Xuewen among the censor officials, his name is Wei Bin.He was really afraid that Wei Bin wasn't arranged by Huo Shijiu, so he wouldn't do serious things!

But Wei Bin did not disappoint the little emperor, his voice was like a bell, and he said resoundingly: "The minister wants to participate in the British business for public benefit, seek the people's favor, abuse his power to fill his own pockets, and covet the country with great ambitions..."

Wei Bin handed the excerpt to Jing Tong, and before the emperor opened it to read it, he had already started playing it eloquently.Among them, all the criminal evidences of the British Duke are explained clearly one by one. A total of [-] major crimes of the British Duke have been involved, and each of the evidence is enough to drag the British Duke out ten times.

Wei Bin's voice echoed in the Fengtian Hall, and the crimes listed overwhelmed all the civil and military personnel present.What everyone was astonished was not the heinous crime of the British Duke, but what they were astonished was that there were still people who dared to stand up and say such words at this time.

Wei Bin kowtowed and said: "I implore the emperor to clean up the court, and take down the rebellious officials and thieves who are not bad and intend to rebel!"

The British prince raised his eyebrows, looked at the little emperor provocatively, caught a glimpse of the dazzling smile on the face of the Ninth Prince from the corner of his eyes, and snorted in his heart: He is used to people who dare to impeach him.Needless to say others, even when Jiang Xuewen was originally a censor, he often scolded him. Those clowns who are incompetent only have the ability to scold people behind their backs, and he doesn't take it seriously.

What he was curious about was the emperor's handling method.

In the past, for this kind of person, the little emperor would directly order someone to get out of the matter, regardless of whether he would be bumped to death, but after the little emperor said that to him yesterday, today the little emperor himself took the initiative to ask for it. up court.He thought of playing tricks, and really wanted to know what the little emperor was going to do again.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Qingliu immediately stood up to second the proposal.

There are also former students and officials of the British Duke who are opposed to it, and the two sides started arguing with each other with one glance at me.

When Wei Bin was arguing with reason, he also peeked at the little emperor's reaction. What he said today was because Huo Shijiu found him alone early in the morning and persuaded him to do it.

He didn't know what this not-so-famous Marquis was going to do.He didn't intend to agree to his request.But Huo Shijiu's words finally convinced him.

He said: "As a censor, if you don't dare to say anything because you cherish your life, what's the point of living?"

Wei Bin has never been afraid of death, and he also feels that Wu Shizhan Wen Shi remonstrates, and honest words are what he should do. Since Huo Shijiu dared to let him say it, why can't he give up this life?

When the two parties were arguing endlessly, the little emperor suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice, "Shut up."

After all, the Son of Heaven is majestic, even if the voice is not loud, and it doesn't matter what it is on weekdays, the courtiers are silent.

The British Duke raised his eyebrows, playing with the red tassels on the bottom of the rhino horn comb, as if to see what you can do to me.

The little emperor had already opened his mouth, and said: "What Wei Qing's family said is not unreasonable, but the elders of the three dynasties of the United Kingdom have worked hard for the country for many years, and they have worked hard without credit. I also trust it. How about this matter?" It will be handed over to the three divisions for a joint trial, so as to conduct a thorough investigation, if you cannot prove the crime above the British public, Wei Bin, do you know what the result will be?"

"I am willing to pay with my life!"

Mr. Ying stood up abruptly, and said hello three times with a sneer: "It seems that the emperor has full wings!"
