Chapter 181
181 Chapter 157-poem (2)
This was because verifying a criminal’s identity was a normal process.
‘This eunuch has his own faction ...’ It was most likely the party of the minister of rites ... ‘As expected, if I came here alone without Jin Gong, the great scholar Zhang Shen, the senior brother and Junior Brother si Tian Jian ...’ It was very likely that he would make a mistake on the eve of victory.
Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an smiled and said, “”Eunuch Liu, when I see his Majesty, I will say:Eunuch tried to kill Zhou chixiong to silence him.”
“Boy!” The eunuch was furious. how dare you slander our family? men, arrest him!
“Eunuch ...” Xu Qi ‘an said loudly, ” you’d better think about it carefully. If you really start a conflict here, His Majesty is not a fool. The court officials are not fools either. Have you considered the consequences? ”
“Yellow-haired brat, have you ever thought of the consequences?” the eunuch sneered.
Xu Qi ‘an walked over with one hand on his saber. He whispered in the eunuch’s ear, “”Don’t be unreasonable with a Desperado like me. It’s not worth it. Eunuch, it’s fine as long as you do your best when working for others. You’re not a core member of the king’s party, so don’t make a mistake.”
The eunuch’s expression changed for a moment before he shrieked, “”I won’t lower myself to your level.”
.....
When they arrived outside the throne room, the eunuch went to make a report. After a while, Emperor Yuan jing summoned Xu Qi ‘an and the others into the hall.
Xu Qi ‘an stepped over the exaggerated threshold and entered the main hall of the palace. Once again, he saw the group of people standing at the peak of the Great Hall.
Especially the dignified middle-aged man who was wearing a Daoist robe and sitting on the Dragon Throne.
The court officials turned their bodies slightly and looked at the door of the throne room, watching Xu Qi ‘an and the others enter.
He was still a little nervous ... The core of the stage of power in Da Feng ... Xu Qi ‘an let out a long breath and suppressed his uneasiness.
Wei Yuan’s gentle gaze fell on Xu Qi ‘an’s face and he nodded slightly.
Xu Qi ‘an was not afraid. He took Centurion Zhou from Jiang Jinluo, took off the sack, and wrapped it around the back of his neck, forcing him to raise his unconscious face.
“Your Majesty, this is the criminal wanted by the Imperial court, the former Centurion of the Golden guard, Zhou chixiong.”
There was a roar of discussion.
The minister of rites ‘face slowly turned pale.
Xu Qi ‘an’s fingers quickly pressed on several major acupuncture points of Zhou chixiong. mm ... Centurion Zhou groaned in pain and slowly opened his eyes.
Then, he was stunned.
In front of him was Emperor Yuan jing, who was sitting on the throne. On both sides were the officials of the Imperial court. Above their heads was a magnificent horizontal board with the words ” throne room ” and under their feet were shiny crystals.
Maybe he opened his eyes in the wrong way ... Centurion Zhou closed his eyes again.
“Pa!” Xu Qi ‘an slapped him and sneered, “”You bastard, you’ve returned home in glory.”
Zhou chixiong, whose hands and feet were numb, was struck to the ground. He didn’t stand up, but instead knelt down and wailed,”I deserve to die ten thousand times, I deserve to die ten thousand times.”
After the Yunzhou mountain village was broken into, Zhou chixiong was knocked unconscious. He was sent to the capital on the back of a fire feathered beast, and he was unconscious the whole way. Along the way, he fed her water a few times, but there was no food.
It was not easy to get to the capital. Xu Qi ‘an felt that he was in a good condition, so he simply let him be in a coma and gave him a knockout drug.
Emperor Yuan jing’s face was serious as he looked down at him. “Zhou chixiong, who ordered you to collude with the demons to smuggle gunpowder?”
Zhou chixiong sprawled on the ground and kept saying,”I deserve to die ...”
Emperor Yuan jing no longer looked at the ant. Instead, he stared at Zhang Shen, who was beside Xu Qi ‘an, and said gently, “”Mr. Zhang, I’ll have to trouble you.”
Zhang Shen snorted coldly and did not respond to the Emperor directly. He stepped forward, his hands behind his back, and said, “”A gentleman should be honest, and an ordinary man should be honest.”
An invisible breeze swept across the entire throne room. In an instant, the word “honesty” occupied the minds of everyone in the hall.
“Who instructed you to collude with the demons to smuggle gunpowder?”
“Yes, yes ... The minister of rites, li yulang.” Zhou chixiong started crying.
In an instant, the throne room was in an uproar. The ministers had completely lost their ability to control their expressions and were in an uproar.
“Your Majesty, this is absurd. Zhou chixiong is slandering ...” One of the officials stood up and said.
“Centurion Zhou did not lie,” Song Qing interrupted coldly.
“I’m not lying,” Yan Caiwei repeated.
He couldn’t see the ministers above the fourth rank, but he could see Zhou chixiong.
The minister of rites ‘face was ashen.
There was no point in explaining. When Zhou chixiong was caught, he had already lost. Unless they knew about this in advance and killed him halfway.
“Li yulang, what do you have to say?” Emperor Yuan jing said.
The minister of rites took a deep breath and retracted his dejected expression.”I’m innocent.”
It seemed to be a dying struggle, but there was no extra explanation, only three pale words.
Your Majesty, ” Wei Yuan said immediately, ” please let me interrogate this man and find out who his accomplices are.
The Minister of Justice stepped out and challenged Wei Yuan, “”Your Majesty, this case should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice.”
Emperor Yuan jing did not answer. He silently looked down at the entire court of Zhu Zigui, causing the ministers to stop their discussion and lower their heads slightly.
After a long time, Emperor Yuan jing said in a clear voice, “”Let the Ministry of Justice handle this case.”
.....
After the court was dismissed, the minister of rites, who had his official robe and hat removed, was escorted out of the palace.
“Stop!”
The disheartened minister of rites turned his head, and the people from the Ministry of Justice also turned their heads. They saw the little Gong from the Yamen, who was the night watchman, catch up.
The people from the Ministry of Justice stepped forward to stop him.
...
Xu Qi ‘an did not insist. He stopped and looked at the Minister of Justice and the minister of rites.”A few days ago, I heard from Duke Wei about what happened in the Imperial court. If the king’s party had kept things at peace earlier, there wouldn’t be today.”
This scene was witnessed by many officials. They could not help but stop and watch from the side.
In the distance, Wei Yuan stopped by the carriage and looked over.
“Father, should we call him back?” Yang Yan asked in a low voice.
Wei Yuan shook his head. it’s inevitable that he’s resentful. If he doesn’t vent it now, when will he? ” You keep an eye on him, don’t let him intensify the conflict.”
“I also want to see what he has to say,” he said with a gentle smile.
Minister sun from the Ministry of Justice narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully, “”Ignorant child, you’re spouting nonsense here.”
Xu Qi ‘an was not angry at all, and said,”ministers, do you know that I am a talented poet?” He didn’t dare to talk big, but he wanted to give Minister sun and Minister li a poem.
“The poem’s name is” the Sang Bo case: for Minister sun.””
A poem?
The surrounding ministers were stunned at first, and then they became excited. They didn’t care if it was a big deal or not, and they didn’t care about Minister sun’s face. They all rushed over.
...
“Let’s go and listen.” Wei Yuan’s eyes lit up as he walked over.
Minister sun’s face changed. He thought of Xu Qi ‘an’s reputation and his poems. A strong sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart.
Xu Qi ‘an said in a clear voice, ”
“Everyone wants their son to be smart, and I’ve been ruined by his intelligence for my whole life.” historical
“I hope that this child is foolish and reckless, and can reach the Minister without disaster.”
