For a time, the city-wide massacre case of the northern Garrison liege lord became more and more confusing.
After the incident, que Yongxiu was immediately taken to the palace by the Imperial Army to meet the Emperor alone.
Not long after, the Emperor gathered all the officials and held a small court meeting in the Imperial study.
Emperor Yuan jing sat behind the desk, the Civil officials on the left, and the noble imperial family on the right. Que Yongxiu was kneeling in front of the table with a blood letter in his hand.
“Dear Ministers, please take a look at this blood letter.” Emperor Yuan jing handed the letter of blood to the old eunuch.
The latter respectfully received it and passed it on to the imperial family, followed by the Civil officials.
High Duke Cao stepped out of the ranks and said indignantly, “Your Majesty,
Zheng xinghuai colluded with the demon barbarians and caused the death of North vanquishing Prince. His crime is unforgivable, and his entire family should be executed.”
The assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites frowned and stepped out of the ranks. High Duke Cao’s words are too arbitrary. Zheng xinghuai colluded with the demon barbarians and killed his entire family? ”
“Who can be sure that Zheng xinghuai’s entire family died in Chuzhou?” a regional King retorted.
Zhao tingfang, the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion, was furious. He said sternly, ‘
“If Zheng xinghuai is in cahoots with the demon barbarians, then what’s with the mysterious expert who killed the North vanquishing Prince? He was the one who said that North vanquishing Prince had massacred the city. The diplomatic corps saw it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears.”
“Who is that mysterious expert?” High Duke Cao sneered. You can ask him to come out and testify for Zheng xinghuai. How can we believe the words of a heretic practitioner of unknown origins?”
The Imperial censor of the right, Liu Hong, was furious. it’s the heretic practitioner that you mentioned who killed the Barbarian leader. High Duke Cao is a yes-man in front of the barbarians, but he’s striking with his fists in the Imperial court. How impressive.”
Without waiting for Duke Cao’s rebuttal, the Imperial censor of the left, Yuan Xiong, jumped out to argue with his political enemy, “”As the saying goes, those who are not of our race must have a different heart. Lord Liu, do not forget your identity.”
“He’s not ot my race, so how can he use the nation-guarding sword?” Liu Hong sneered.
“Enough!”
Suddenly, Emperor Yuan jing slammed the table and his eyes were filled with anger.
When the country-protecting Duke, que Yongxiu, saw this, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried, “‘Your Majesty, please help me, help the North vanquishing Prince, and help the people of Chu Prefecture city.”
Emperor Yuan jing nodded slowly. this case is of great importance. I will naturally investigate it thoroughly. This matter will be jointly judged by the three divisions. High Duke Cao, you must also participate.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at his companion and said, “”Grant High Duke Cao the gold medal and immediately go to the relay station to capture Zheng xinghuai. Those who violate the order will be executed without a report.”
“Yes, Your Majesty is wise,” High Duke Cao said excitedly.
After leaving the palace, Wei Yuan quickly caught up with chief advisor Wang. The two powerful officials did not take the carriage, but walked side by side.
This scene was a beautiful sight in front of everyone. Many years later, it was still a scene worth reminiscing.
“I’ve tried to persuade Zheng xinghuai, but unfortunately, he’s a stubborn one.” Wei Yuan’s voice was gentle and his expression was calm.
“If he wasn’t a coward, he wouldn’t have been sent to the North by the old chief advisor.” “What an idiot,” sneered chief Wang.
He did not know if he was scolding Zheng xinghuai or himself.
last time, we almost caught que Yongxiu in the palace, ” Wei Yuan replied. he escaped. The next day, we searched the entire city but still couldn’t find him. At that time, I knew that I couldn’t go against this.”
it’s not a bad thing, ” chief advisor Wang said calmly. you all agreed with His
Majesty’s opinion because the North vanquishing Prince is dead. Now that que Yongxiu had returned alive, there were some people who would not agree. This is our chance.”
Wei Yuan shook his head. it’s precisely because of que Yongxiu’s return that those people see hope of reversing the verdict. As long as they cooperate with Your Majesty, the case will be settled. Once it’s decided, que Yongxiu will be a first-grade Duke, and after he’s earned enough merit points to establish his Kingdom, it’ll be difficult to deal with him.”
After a moment of silence, the two of them asked at the same time, “”Did he threaten you?”
At the relay station.
There was a cough in the room. Zheng xinghuai was wearing blue casual clothes, sitting at the table with his right hand spread out on the table.
A white-robed Warlock was taking his pulse.
After a long time, the white-robed sorcerer retracted his hand and shook his head.
“It’s not a big problem to get sick from depression. You just need to take some medicine and rest for a few days. However, Lord Zheng should relax a little, or else this illness will come to you again.”
Chen Xian and his wife heaved a sigh of relief, then sighed again.
It was a minor illness that was not difficult to cure. What was difficult to cure was Lord Zheng’s mental illness.
Zheng xinghuai did not respond to the Warlock in white. He cupped his hands.”Many thanks, doctor.”
“Don’t look like you don’t take it seriously.” The white-robed sorcerer from the Directorate of Celestials had a proud personality. As long as he was not violently oppressed, he would always speak his mind.
“You’re not too old. If you’re heartless, you can live for a few more years.
Chen Xian and his wife were unhappy.
Zheng xinghuai seemed to have seen the face of the Warlock in white, so he did not blame or get angry. Instead, he asked, ‘”‘1 heard that Xu yinluo and the
Directorate of Celestials are very close.”
“I know what you’re up to. Mr. Xu is a distinguished guest of the Directorate of Celestials.” The white-robed sorcerer sneered. However, if you want to see the supervisor through him, don’t even think about it. The Directorate of Celestials doesn’t interfere with the matters of the Imperial court. This is the rule.”
Just as Zheng xinghuai was about to continue, the white-robed Warlock added, ‘ Xu yinluo has already gone to the Directorate of Celestials to ask for help. If this method is feasible, do I need you to tell me? ”
He … He had already been to the Directorate of Celestials … Zheng xinghuai’s expression was complicated. Among the diplomatic corps that had returned to the capital, only Xu yinluo was still running around about this matter.
The others chose to remain silent due to the situation.
As he spoke, the sound of hurried footsteps came from downstairs, followed by Zhao Jin’s angry roar, ” which Yamen are you from? how dare you barge into Sir
Zheng’s relay ….
