The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

The next day, the court meeting.

Zhao Qiyin sat on the dragon chair with a sullen face, without saying a word.

The chief of the third department, Ji Zhong and others stood in the hall with their heads bowed, their faces were ashamed.

The atmosphere in the entire Golden Luan Hall was extremely depressing.

"This is the answer you gave me? Countless manpower and material resources were used to disturb the peace of the entire capital, and finally you told me that you got nothing?" Zhao Qi looked at them and asked loudly.

The three days had passed, but they had nothing to gain at all. Not only did they not catch the murderer, they even failed to find out who the murderer was, what power he belonged to, and what motive he had.

Zhao Qi's premonition was not wrong, they really couldn't find anything.

Now he can only pin his hopes on Jia Jue. He once ordered that if Jia Jue enters the palace, there is no need to notify him.

It's a pity that he hasn't shown up so far these days.

Thinking about it, there is no progress.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi's mood became even worse.

Ji Zhong and the others all showed ashamed expressions on their faces, and said in unison: "I am guilty."

"Convicted? Is it useful for you to be convicted?" Zhao Qi patted the armrest of the dragon chair and said angrily, "If you are convicted, you can make the neighboring countries look up to us? If you are convicted, you can make Fusang not pursue this matter? "

If this matter is an ordinary case, it will be fine, but this matter involves the envoys of other countries, and many countries are watching. If it cannot be resolved properly, the reputation of the imperial court will be greatly damaged, and even diplomatic disputes will arise.

Several people were silent, their faces were flushed, in the final analysis, they were still incompetent.

However, other courtiers stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I think that this case is so complicated that it can't be solved in a short time, so it's better to discuss it in the long run."

"Your Majesty, my minister seconded the proposal. The so-called haste makes waste, and it is inevitable to make mistakes in haste."

"The humble minister agrees! The assassin may hide for a while, but he cannot hide for a lifetime. If he stays for a long time, his feet will inevitably be exposed. Why don't we wait a little longer."

"My minister seconded the proposal! In a short period of time, no one can solve this case, please allow some time for your majesty."

"Wei Chen agrees!"

……

Looking at these people who stood up, Zhao Qi snorted coldly: "A long-term plan? I also want a long-term plan! But does the neighboring country agree? Does Fusang agree?"

Someone wanted to argue again, but at this moment, a guard outside the hall suddenly came to report:

"Your Majesty! The envoy of Fusang is asking to see you outside the hall."

Zhao Qiwen said to the crowd and asked: "My dear friends, the Fusang envoys are asking to see you, but I don't see you?"

There was a commotion among the crowd, some said they would see each other, some said they would not.

Zhao Qi snorted coldly: "The bitter master came to the door, and I turned him away?"

Everyone was speechless.

Zhao Qi waved his hand to the guard: "Pass."

Not long after, two figures walked into the hall, one was about forty years old and short in stature, the other was only in his thirties, and his face was quite good, but the dark prey between his brows destroyed his overall temperament.

It was Yagyu and Mingji.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Han." The two came to the hall and bowed slightly to Zhao Qi.

Seeing the appearance of the two, a courtier immediately shouted:
"Bold, why don't you kneel."

Fusang Kingdom used to be a subsidiary state of the Han court, and logically, their emperor would kneel when he saw Zhao Qi.

But both Liu Sheng and Ming Ji looked at Zhao Qi as if they didn't hear it.

A trace of sullenness flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes, but he could only bear it. First of all, they were envoys from other countries, so he could not force them to bow down, and the so-called dependent countries were just talking.

Secondly, who made him feel wronged?
"You two are welcome." He suppressed his displeasure, and smiled at them, "I don't know why the two envoys asked to see me?"

"I'm here for two reasons. First, I don't know how the case of Tang Zexiong, my Fusang envoy, is progressing?" Liu Sheng asked.

This sentence was slightly rude, but no one reprimanded them anymore.

The reason is still wrong.

Zhao Qi coughed and said: "Take it easy, both of you, this case is complicated and it will take some time."

Liu Sheng showed a look of surprise when he heard the words:

"Oh? Didn't it mean that the Han people have heroes and capable people in large numbers, and such cases are easy to catch? How come all these days have passed, but the case has still not been solved? Didn't the imperial court send three divisions and Jin Yiwei? None of this can solve the case ?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall felt ashamed.

This is an undisguised sarcasm!
"The envoy doesn't know, the case is very involved, and we have to handle it carefully." Huang Tao, Minister of Criminal Affairs, came out and said.

Liu Sheng glanced at him, and snorted coldly: "Is it impossible to find out, or is he unwilling to find out? Could it be that the murderer is you Han people? Are you trying to protect him in vain?"

"Bold!"

"presumptuous!"

"What nonsense!"

These words provoked many courtiers to scold them.

Liu Sheng was not afraid at all, but just looked at Zhao Qi.

This was a strategy he had discussed with Mingji in advance, and he wanted to use this matter to suppress the arrogance of the Han people to the minimum, so that things would be easier to handle afterwards.

In the process, he will act as a red face and try his best to ridicule the Han court.Afterwards, Ming Ji stepped forward to show his favor to the imperial court and made a rescue.

In the end, Mingji took advantage of the situation to reveal his identity and proposed a marriage.

Zhao Qi looked at him, and said lightly: "Just wait and rest assured, wait a little longer, and I will definitely give you an explanation, no matter if it is a Han Chinese or someone else, as long as it is a murderer, I will not tolerate it!"

Hearing Zhao Qi's statement, Liu Sheng did not accept it, but instead asked in a strange way:
"I don't know how long the 'some time' His Majesty mentioned? It won't be a year or so?"

"You! Disrespectful!"

"It's just nonsense!"

When the courtiers heard this, they were all furious.

Zhao Qi finally lost his composure, and he said coldly to Liu Sheng: "Within ten days, I will definitely give your country an explanation!"

He made up his mind, no matter what, he must investigate this case to the bottom!
This was already an extremely clear answer, but Liu Sheng was still not satisfied. He said in a strange voice:
"Your Majesty, it's not that I can't trust you. But, is it true that the case can be solved in ten days? When the case happened, if no one can be caught, after another ten days, when there is no evidence, can the case be solved? Could it be that His Majesty will send the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry to investigate the case?"

This made all the courtiers look angry. Since Liu Sheng entered the palace, he has been hurting them in a strange way, completely treating the Han people and the court as nothing, which made them very angry.

But although they were angry, there was nothing they could do.Who made it impossible for them to solve the case? As the sufferer, if he said a few ugly words, should he be arrested or killed?
Being aggrieved and annoyed made them extremely uncomfortable, even Zhao Qi was no exception.

With his temperament, if someone dared to ridicule him like this in normal times, he would let the other party know what cruelty is, but at this time, he had to endure it.

Really aggrieved!

Seeing the expressions of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty who dared not speak out, Ming Ji beside Liu Sheng smiled complacently. What kind of Han Dynasty court, what kind of talented people came out in large numbers? ?
But he also knew that the time was right, and it was time for him to play.

However, just as he opened his mouth and was about to speak, a clear voice suddenly sounded:

"Who says this case can't be solved?"
