Wishful Things

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

It turned out to be poisoned!

Lord Zhen Guo beat him to death!

But... Could this really be what Xia Shoufu did? Or, was it really just Xia Shoufu's work?

All the officials have different eyes and different ideas.

"Poisoned?" Emperor Qingming's eyes were full of surprise——Xu Qiwei brought this up in public, what was his intention?

"That's right! The minister was poisoned at that time, but fortunately a civil expert rescued him, otherwise his life would have to be entrusted to Dongyuan City!" Duke Zhen said in a heavy tone, "The matter of the minister's poisoning has been confirmed. Finally, an accompanying military doctor was found, but that military doctor refused to reveal the main messenger, and then committed suicide while being interrogated!"

Denied death... committed suicide? !

Emperor Qingming's heart trembled slightly.

According to this, maybe Xu Qiwei still doesn't know the whole truth?

No, since the other party has already suspected Xia Tingzhen, why not make a bold guess?

Is it because after careful consideration, I don't want to and dare not tear myself apart with him...

That's right, he is not the only one who has scruples. Does the Duke of Zhenguo really dare to openly oppose the entire court?

At such a juncture, one pull will change the overall situation. Before the situation is clearly divided, who would dare to act rashly?

The fingers under Emperor Qingming's sleeves gathered and loosened. If this is the case, then Xu Qiwei is not too stupid, and there is hope for stabilizing the Xu family's affairs for the time being...

This deliberately released hint relieved the emperor's anxious mood for the past few days, but he still had doubts.

At this time, Xia Tingzhen sneered and said, "According to what the Duke said, if the military doctor who poisoned him really committed suicide, how can the Duke be sure that it was Xia who instructed him? Just because Xia and the Duke have always disagreed, we can send him to the hospital." Is this groundless speculation imposed on me?"

"The old man never speaks nonsense without evidence!" The old man's voice was loud and thick, full of anger: "It is unreasonable to suspect Mr. Xia based on the matter of the military doctor alone, but the imperial military officer named Yue Pei, On the way back to Beijing, he set fire to the posthouse, colluded with deserters from the Li clan, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take the old man's life, what is Xia's explanation? —— Isn't that exactly Xia Shoufu's confidant!"

The last sentence was actually for the granddaughter's confession—Zhao Zhao told him that Yue Pei was Xia Tingzhen's person, and he could point it out to the emperor.

The hall became restless again.

It turned out that the poisoning failed, but on the way back to the capital, he killed him again...

Thinking of this, all the ministers felt a chill running down their backs.

This is Lord Zhen Guo, if such methods are used on them, how can there be any way to survive?

The sense of substitution was so strong that I even felt that the white cloth covered my head and face, the coffin board was about to close in front of my eyes, and the mourning hall was set up at home, and I started to cry.

The so-called thing hurts its kind is like this.

"Let's not talk about the truth of the Duke's words, whether this matter was done by Yue Pei, even if it was true, how would the Duke know that he is Xia's confidant!" Not the slightest hint of guilt.

"This letter is the evidence!" Lord Zhen Guo took out a letter from under the soft armor on his chest, and said, "This Yue Pei has just been captured by the old man, and the next day his subordinates wanted to quietly send the letter back at night. The capital was intercepted on the spot by the night watchmen! The letter stated the failure of the plan, and who the letter was addressed to, and the honorific title of Xia Shoufu was clearly written on it! It was definitely going to be sent to the Xia Mansion in the middle of the capital!"

Then, he turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Xia Tingzhen clenched her teeth secretly.

Yue Pei's people even tried to send him a letter?

But Xu Qiwei pointed the finger at him so openly, is it true that he really doesn't know who is going to kill him?

No, no matter how stupid a person is, he still can't understand it...

He still couldn't figure out the whole intention of the other party doing this, but at this moment, one thing was very clear - Xu Qiwei clearly wanted to use this matter to force the emperor to deal with him!

He had expected Xu Qiwei's reaction after he returned to Beijing, including that the other party directly raised troops to make trouble, but he never thought that when this old bastard returned to Beijing, he pretended to be ignorant and chose to be at the same time at this time. He's right on...

It was like being bitten by a mad dog so hard to get rid of it, but the feeling of being unable to tell the truth at all made Xia Tingzhen's heart feel irritated and powerless like never before.

The letter has been presented to the emperor by the inner eunuch.

The envelope was stained with darkened blood, which showed that there was a fight when the letter was intercepted.

Emperor Qingming opened the letter and scanned the contents line by line.

Seeing the emperor put down the letter paper, Duke Zhen looked at Xia Tingzhen with a passionate and contemptuous tone: "First plot to kill the old man, and then order the confidant military officer to go to Dongyuan and take the opportunity to gather the military power in my hands. I want to ask Xia Shoufu the other way around. Do you have the heart of disobedience! Do you want to take advantage of the chaos to gather troops for your own use, so that you can wait for an opportunity to rebel in the future!"

His words are bold and unscrupulous. At first glance, he sounds like he is deliberately provocative, but such sharp words are often needed to hit the deepest part of people's hearts.

The hall, which was originally noisy, became strangely quiet at this time.

A group of gray clouds pressed over Jinyang, like a curtain slowly pulled over, darkening every inch of the hall.

In this coma, Xia Tingzhen's eyes flickered, and her tone was firm: "Your Majesty, this letter is a forgery. I have never ordered anyone to kill the Duke of Zhen! Whether it is true or not, I hope your majesty will learn from it—"

Sitting behind the dragon table, the emperor lowered his eyes halfway, looking at the letter under his hand.

Of course he does.

Of course I know that the teacher is wronged.

No, I can't say it's all wrong...

And there are things he doesn't know—for example, Na Yuepei turned out to be the teacher's confidant.

He should have guessed...

That day in the imperial study room, although the teacher did not recommend this person directly, but after careful consideration, since the first time this person appeared in his sight in the Lingshan Palace, all this is probably not accidental, right?

Hmm... With such a far-reaching plan and no trace, it is indeed the teacher he relies on the most and who has helped him the most along the way.

Oh, and Qiao Bing... Judging from this, it really seems like something a teacher can do. Didn't he specifically mention the queen and the national teacher to divert his attention?

Xu Jiajun's military power can make him spurned by the world... The teacher plans to hold all these things in his hands, what exactly is he trying to do?

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows behind—I don’t know if the teacher regards him as a praying mantis, or the cicada?

Sensing the gaze cast by the emperor, Xia Tingzhen's heart shuddered, and she said seriously again: "The minister is loyal to His Majesty and Daqing, there is absolutely no reason to do this! The cause and effect of this matter, I hope Your Majesty will clearly investigate!"

Zhen Guogong also said: "The old minister almost died several times, and today he must demand justice and an explanation!"

This is about to fight - all the officials are secretly sweating.

The head of the two civil and military officials...

This is really a drama that can only be seen in one's lifetime...
