Your Majesty, please draw the card

Yuxi is back again.Although he had to knock off a corner of the jade seal and inlay it with gold, Liu Xi didn't feel bad at all.He was really curious about the role Long Yangjun played in this matter. When did Long Yang Jun get involved with Wang Zhen?

Now that Yuxi is in Liu Xi's hands, he can do whatever he wants. As soon as the "forged jade seal" was exposed, Wang Ting would not be able to clear it up even if he jumped to the Yellow River.This is much more powerful than a vague letter of alliance!

Liu Xi still has some impressions of Wang Zhen.After the assassination, Gao Lishi would not have doubted Wang Ting if he hadn't been drinking and having fun with King Zhongshan and was beaten up by Wang Ting after returning home.

Wang Zhen testified to expose his father, and Zhao Wenshan used this to bring down his political opponents. It also involved the jade seal stolen by Lord Longyang. This matter is really confusing.Liu Xi decided to take some time to ask Mr. Longyang about the whole story of this "big gift".But the most important thing right now is how to help Zhao Wenshan. After all, Wang Ting's resignation is something Liu Xi likes to see.

From the day Zhao Wenshan wrote to impeach the royal court, the emperor cut off the connection between the royal court and the palace, so that the empress dowager is still kept in the dark about this matter.

The next day, the emperor announced with grief and indignation that King Zhongshan's rebellion was true.At that time, the emperor had only ascended the throne not long ago, and he was very sad that this uncle, who had never masked his face, wanted to murder him.Because he cared about the family relationship, he didn't deal with King Zhongshan after the incident. Not only did he preserve his reputation, but he also pardoned his family.However, the emperor did not expect that King Zhongshan would have colluded with his most trusted Prime Minister You. If this matter had not suddenly become known to the world, the royal court would probably find another opportunity to harm him.

The emperor was very sad and didn't understand what he had done wrong.Naturally, the ministers became even more furious. Even the die-hard royal party dared not stand up to speak for the royal court. Instead, they thought about how to make meritorious deeds and expose the royal court so that they could escape disaster.

Wang Ting was arrested and imprisoned, there were more and more memorials to impeach Wang Ting and his henchmen in the Emperor Dragon case, and more and more evidence related to the case in Dali Temple.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Wang Ting is completely finished this time, even if the emperor spares his life, it is unknown whether he can survive the death of his two favorite sons.This time the emperor said nothing and did not intend to let these two scums continue to live. He sentenced Wang Ou and Wang Hu to death only on the third day after the incident.It was a pity to Liu Xi that although the two kings were in the same spirit, Wang Juchen had nothing to do with this matter, and his idea of ​​taking the opportunity to attack Wang Juchen fell through in vain.

Wang Ting in prison complained that he was wronged, saying that he wanted to see the Empress Dowager.It is true that Wang Ting was wronged a little bit. Putting aside the matter of Yuxi, Wang Ting asked Wang Zhen not to leave any evidence when Wang Zhen made an alliance with King Zhongshan, but later Wang Zhen told him that King Zhongshan must have him. After making a letter of alliance, he asked Wang Zhen to deceive King Zhongshan with a fake seal, but Wang Zhen took a real seal that is not commonly used and signed an alliance letter with King Zhongshan.

The call to kill Wang Ting is getting louder and louder.The emperor went to see the empress dowager once with numerous evidences of the royal family, but the empress dowager didn't say much in front of a large amount of evidence, but just let the emperor leave.She wants to pray to the Buddha behind closed doors, and pray that the Buddha can forgive the crimes committed by the Wang family.The Empress Dowager finally did not go to see Wang Ting. She asked the patriarch of the Wang family to draw Wang Zhen out of the genealogy, and ordered someone to send the Ten Books that she copied by herself to the emperor.The meaning of the Empress Dowager is very simple. It's not that she doesn't want to protect the royal court, but even she can't protect the royal court, so she can only settle for the next best thing, hoping that the emperor will let Wang Juchen go.

The emperor did not intend to implicate Wang Juchen with such a crime, because doing so would only make people in the world sympathize with Wang Juchen and make him famous.He went to meet Wang Zhen on purpose, because he was really curious about what kind of person Wang Zhen was.According to Lord Longyang, during those days when he left the palace, he hid in Wang Ting Mansion for more than half a month, to be precise, it was at Wang Zhen's place.

Liu Xi originally thought that Wang Zhen and Zhao Wenshan came together because of his ambition and wanting to get ahead, but the reason Wang Zhen did this was to avenge his same mother and elder brother, and the object of his revenge was his biological father and The other two brothers.

Wang Zhen has a soft and sharp appearance, and Wang Ting doesn't like him very much, so he is chosen as a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.Wang Ting even broke his leg in order to express that he did not want the concubine to mix with the vassal king, making him unable to go out for several months.Although Wang Zhen was expelled from the Wang family now, Liu Xi felt that he was very decisive in his actions, and he could endure what ordinary people couldn't bear in order to achieve his goals, but he could be reused after this incident.

"Gongjin, what do you think should be done next?"

As early as the beginning of the first year of Jiahe, Zhou Yu made a plan for Liu Xi to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, first deal with Wang Ting, and wait for Zhao Wenshan to make a move. All he needs to do is to make a decision after everyone has recognized the "truth" .Now that this strategy has worked, Liu Xi really wants to know what to do next.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Is the Emperor worried about the Empress Dowager, or Wang Juchen?"

Liu Xi was slightly surprised: "How does Gongjin know that I'm worried about these two people?"

"The king's court has been abolished. It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies. With the emperor's personality, he will definitely not kill him, but he will live in regret for the rest of his life. I'm afraid it will make him more sad than killing him. After all, the empress dowager She is the person with the highest status in the palace. She has gone through three dynasties and has a strong influence on Dayan. If there is a quarrel with the emperor because of this matter, the emperor does not want to see it. And the emperor really does not want the empress dowager Sad about this matter, that's why I find it difficult. As for Wang Juchen, the royal court has fallen, and his party members have fallen and scattered. Except for those who are guilty, the rest who want to protect themselves will definitely hug each other. When the time comes It is very likely that Wang Juchen will take it for his own use. Wang Juchen's influence will increase, this is what the emperor is most worried about."

Zhou Yu talked eloquently, analyzed the emperor's mind thoroughly, and added at the end: "In fact, the emperor should care about one person."

Liu Xi was startled: "Who?"

"Zhao Wenshan." Zhou Yu shook his fan and explained, "Once the king's court falls, no one can restrain Zhao Wenshan. At that time, he will be domineering and autocratic. Give him the position, because only in this way can Zhao Wenshan self-destruct the Great Wall. At that time, Zhao Wenshan will probably propose to use only one prime minister, which will be very detrimental to the emperor."

Liu Xi nodded and said, "That's right, Zhao Wenshan is a problem."

"What's more, the emperor and the empress dowager have a 'deep relationship'. It is inevitable that he will offend the empress dowager if he disposes of Zhao Wenshan. How can the emperor have the heart to make the empress dowager sad? Is what I said right?"

Liu Xi noticed the chill in Zhou Yu's eyes, and quickly shook his head: "No, no, there is nothing to worry about. Although I and the queen mother are just friends, if I dispose of Zhao Wenshan, the queen mother will never blame me .Speaking of which, why can I always see Gongjin when I go to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager recently?"

Zhou Yu said with a half smile but not a smile: "The Queen Mother is weak, so she may need to ask for her pulse from time to time."

Liu Xixin said that the Empress Dowager Zhao's martial arts are superb, and she is far from being weak. The timing of the male god's stepping is so accurate every time. Could it be that it is simply to monitor him?

The male god still thinks that he has something to do with Queen Mother Zhao, which is really dumbfounding.It's just that he can't ask Queen Mother Zhao about her practice. Even if it's just a preparation stage, he still has a lot of questions, almost filling a small book!

In fact, the emperor who yearned to practice peerless martial arts silently cried in his heart.

"By the way, Gongjin, did you learn from Zhuge Liang for your fan swing so much?" Liu Xi had been curious about this matter for a long time, and now she finally couldn't help asking.The fan of the male god is the bird feather fan used by Zhuge Liang on TV, the only difference is that there is no gossip on it.Because this kind of fan is the symbol of Zhuge Liang in Liu Xi's mind, so watching the male god shake the fan every day, his heart is full of curiosity, and he almost has nothing to do with the two or three things that the male god and Zhuge Kongming have to say .

The room was silent.

"...I'm afraid of the heat." After a long chat, Zhou Yu uttered three words between his teeth.

It was obviously a hot day, but Liu Xi suddenly shivered.

At the beginning of August, the emperor finally made a decree.It is true that Liu Jing, the king of Zhongshan, conspired against him, but since the emperor has magnanimously spared him and his family members from being held accountable for their crimes, this matter should be past the past.Other accomplices of King Zhongshan who were exposed in this incident will be punished according to the law, but except for the leading figures, they will be exempted from capital punishment to show the emperor's benevolence.

As for Wang Ting, as the minister with the highest status in the imperial court who participated in this rebellion incident, he was bound to die, but considering the empress dowager's mood, the emperor pardoned his capital crime, but confiscated his family property and ordered him to return to his ancestral home , A large number of officials involved with Wang Ting were also punished.

A few days later, Wang Ting's two sons, Wang Ou and Wang Hu, were asked to be executed.On the day of the execution, the alleys in Chang'an were empty, and I don't know how many people celebrated with their crowns.It is said that a strange wind suddenly blew up in the sky at that time, and the heads of the two were swept away.

After the downfall of Wang Ting, Wang Zhao Wenshan finally fulfilled his wish to become the right prime minister with one person under one man and more than ten thousand people, and most of the remaining officials in Wang Ting's line turned to support Wang Juchen.The Empress Dowager went on a hunger strike for a day because of the death of her two nephews, and the emperor stayed outside Changle Palace for a day.In the end, in order to make up for the Empress Dowager, the emperor named Wang Juchen as Yushi Dafu, whose position was only one level lower than the prime minister, and appointed Wang Zhen as the governor of Chang'an, replacing the former governor of Chang'an who was like a wall.Although the emperor also knew that the latter decision may not be liked by the empress dowager.

The vigorous royal court case finally came to an end, and the pattern of the court changed drastically.Zhao Wenshan's sharpness is unmatched by anyone, and Wang Juchen has also come from behind to become a hot new star.
