Wishful Things

Ji Xiu, who has been different from others from the beginning to the end, now has a kind of leisurely mood that watching the excitement is not a big deal, and even feels quite relieved.

At this moment in this situation, Xia Tingzhen was forced into such a situation by the Duke of Zhen. If you look carefully, it is more like the situation when he was pushed out to take the blame for King Xiang?

No, to be honest, Xia Tingzhen is not as wronged as he was then——

At that time, he really had nothing to do with the Empress Dowager's matter, and knew nothing about all the calculations, but now, does Xia Tingzhen dare to say that he didn't have any idea about poisoning Duke Zhen?

In the final analysis, it was nothing more than calculating others all the year round, and finally being backlashed!

He wants to see how the emperor will choose this time... Is Xia Tingzhen really serious so that no one can move him!

Rather than being slapped on the neck by a dark knife, he would rather see this old fox who always seems to be aloof and doesn't put anyone in his eyes, and can take advantage of anyone and everything, to taste what it feels like to fall from a height and lose everything .

"This matter is of great importance. The two lovers are my right-hand men..." Emperor Qingming said solemnly, "I don't want to wrong anyone, let alone anyone. The truth of this matter, I will definitely know." Find out sooner."

As he said that, he looked at Lord Zhen with a look of guilt on his face: "This time the Duke led troops to Dongyuan to attack the Li clan, it was for Daqing and for the sake of me, but I caused the Duke to take such a big risk, This is my fault... Dare I ask if the Duke still trusts me now?"

With tears in his eyes, Duke Zhen clasped his fists heavily: "Your Majesty is the monarch to whom I will sacrifice my life to be loyal, of course I believe it!"

Ji Xiu's eyebrows trembled when he saw it: ... Good guy, he didn't know that Duke Zhen had such good acting skills in the past! ——Sure enough, no one can succeed casually?

"Okay, since the Duke is still willing to trust me, then feel free to entrust this matter to me to investigate and deal with it carefully, and I will definitely give the Duke an explanation."

Emperor Qingming looked at Duke Zhen: "Where is Yuepei now?"

"Return to Your Majesty, this person is just outside the gate of the Forbidden Palace. The old minister is not good at making his own decisions. Today, I will bring him here and hand him over to His Majesty to deal with!"

Emperor Qingming nodded, then turned his head and told his servants: "I pass on my order to hand over this case to the Dali Temple and the Jishiwei Association for investigation and trial."

The waiter came down.

Hearing these words, Xia Tingzhen's eyes changed a few times.

What is the emperor going to do?

Putting on a show in front of all the officials, or is it a means to stabilize Duke Zhen?

These are naturally not to be feared, I am afraid that the emperor's intentions are not all like this...

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lord Zhen Guo raised his hand to salute again, with tears in his eyes and his voice was a little hoarse: "Your Majesty also knows that this old minister is a rough man, and he never knows how to beat around the bush when he speaks and does things. In a word, if the minister really wants to rebel, why wait until this age?!"

Everyone in the hall felt their scalps go numb.

This is what Duke Zhen dared to say...

Ji Xiu gritted his teeth secretly - for so many years, he was deceived by Zhen Guogong's straightforward and bold appearance, and he really thought that the other party was an old fool with no heart!

"I fought east and west with the late emperor and went through life and death. In my eyes, nothing is more important than the stability of the Daqing country that was just settled!" Come out, every word and every word is heavy: "I promised the late emperor to keep this Daqing country well, and I have kept this promise all these years, and I think I never dared to slack off for a day—"

Speaking of this, he closed his eyes tremblingly, and sighed: "But now, the minister is indeed old, and there is no one in the family to trust, the minister has never thought of supporting himself, so I let you The two sons in the family are both from Wen... The minister originally planned to hand over the military talisman to the emperor after the Li family was settled this time, and choose one who can take on the big responsibility to lead the Xu family's army on behalf of the minister..."

Emperor Qingming's eyes moved slightly upon hearing this.

He almost couldn't tell whether the other party's words were true or false...

However, regardless of whether it is true or not, his purpose is only one, and that is to get back the soldier talisman——

The words of Lord Zhen Guo continued, and he turned his head to look at Xia Tingzhen: "...But unexpectedly, he was almost assassinated by this treacherous villain! Let me ask you, if there is such a person with evil intentions in power in the court, how can the veteran be able to rest assured of the military power?" Hand it over to his henchmen! If it brings disaster to Daqing, how can I have the face to meet the late emperor!"

"..." Xia Tingzhen straightened her livid lips, and looked coldly at the excited old man.

"Take a ten thousand step back, at this age, I just want to live out my old age in peace, not to mention that although the strange poison in my body has saved my life, it has also damaged the foundation of my body... If you are raped again... If people are watching, wouldn't the whole family be in danger?" Zhen Guogong said: "If this worry can be solved, then I can feel at ease!"

Emperor Qingming heard the implication in these words.

In addition to asking for a so-called justice, Lord Zhen Guo is telling him...is he willing to hand over his military power in exchange for keeping his family safe?

Just need a 'peace of mind'?

Emperor Qingming moved his finger on the letter paper slightly.

If the other party is really willing to cooperate, he doesn't mind showing some 'sincerity'...

And if the other party is playing tricks on him...

Emperor Qingming sneered in his heart.

It is natural to be on guard, but this 'sincerity', even if Duke Zhen doesn't want it, he can no longer keep it by his side with peace of mind...

"I understand the Duke's painstaking efforts." The emperor assured: "Since I promised to investigate this matter thoroughly, I will definitely give the Duke justice... If it is found out that someone really wants to assassinate the Duke, I will be the first to tolerate it." he!"

What Duke Zhen said just now made Xia Tingzhen feel cold all over his body, he really saw clearly... The other party's intention today was to use military power as a bait to force the emperor to send him off!

If it was said that he was not afraid of the other party's introduction of Yue Pei before, then it is not easy to say that he has brought out military power at this time...

After all, the emperor is greedy and stupid... He knows this better than anyone else!

no--

He must keep the emperor 'sober', and let the emperor know that all this is just a plan to divorce the Duke of Zhen, and he must not be fooled...

At this time, Lord Zhen Guo had once again held up the imperial decree, with a sincere voice: "Your Majesty values ​​this minister, and I have a heart for it, and I know it in my heart, but the granddaughter of this old minister has been pampered at home since she was a child, and she really entered the palace. I'm afraid it's not a good thing... and I just want her to marry into an ordinary family, so that I can live an ordinary life like my minister in the future."

This can be regarded as a step up.

Emperor Qingming smiled slightly when he heard the words "in the future" and "ordinary days", and said: "Since the Duke has made up his mind, I have no reason to force it. This time it is indeed my wife It’s too abrupt, and if you don’t think carefully, please don’t blame the Duke.”

"Your Majesty is serious." Zhen Guogong said in a grateful tone: "Old minister, thank you for your majesty's fulfillment."

Emperor Qingming then signaled his servants to come forward and take back the imperial edict.

Thank you for the many monthly tickets, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thanks dfghjk for the reward.
