Chen Ben treacherous
Chapter 55
Jia She turned his head slightly, the posture of the two was very strange, which made him feel a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, can you not be so close to people when you talk?"
Zhao Qi resolutely said: "No!!"
Jia She was speechless, and wailed in his heart: Damn, I didn't wear any pants, and the bottom touched my thigh! !But he couldn't say these words, so he could only silently bleed internally.
Zhao Qi looked at Jia She for a long while, and although he said no, he let go of his hand and sat aside by himself, the two of them didn't speak any more, only the sound of Haitao was heard.
The horse that brought the two of them was still far away, flicking its tail unhurriedly, very leisurely.
After a while, Zhao Qidao: "Don't be so stubborn, this time Fu Que wrote the letter, which made the officials very unhappy, but no matter how unhappy he is, he will not dare to take you as a 'national hero' for a while. But if you insist on using this incident to punish Zhao De, the government will definitely not tolerate you, and... many people in the court will also regard you as a thorn in the side. Sometimes when doing things, Don't make it too extreme, he is the prince after all, and many people are involved..."
Jia She snorted and didn't speak.
Zhao Qi continued: "It's not easy for you to fight against Lie Dagger in Ezhou, you can bear it, this time..."
Jia She gritted his teeth and said, "You also know how Zhao De dealt with Pengfei! I didn't do anything in the battle of Ezhou. As for the hero, the real hero is Pengfei! I can't tolerate someone treating him like this!"
Zhao Qi turned his head and looked at Jia She, his eyes suddenly became extremely deep: "So, you want to kill Gu Pengfei entirely for the sake of Gu Pengfei?"
Jia She hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yes! I won just now, Your Highness, don't take your word for it!"
Zhao Qi looked at Jia She for a while, sighed lowly, and said in a barely audible voice, "Okay! You go back first, and I'll send someone to deliver the things to you later."
Jia She stood up, bowed to Zhao Qi, whistled, summoned his own horse, and threw Zhao Qi's clothes to him. When he put on his clothes, he found that his pants and hair were full of sand. uncomfortable.
When Jia She got dressed, he found Zhao Qi lying on the spot without moving. Jia She said, "Your Highness, come back with me. You are alone and you don't have a horse. How can you go back?"
Zhao Qi didn't turn his head back: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, I can go back!"
Jia She was a little surprised when he heard Zhao Qi say this, he looked around but saw no one on the vast beach, he didn't know if Zhao Qi was going to walk back or crawl back.Jia She hesitated a little, and stretched out his hand on the horseback: "Your Highness, let's go together!"
Zhao Qi shook his head and stopped talking.
Seeing Zhao Qi's firm attitude, Jia She knew it was useless to talk too much, so he turned his horse's head and walked slowly by himself.
Under the moonlight, by the beach, Zhao Qi turned his head and looked at Jia She's back as he walked farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the distance as a black spot. Suddenly, an indescribable melancholy surged in his heart.
Suddenly, Zhao Qi jumped into the sea again and swam vigorously towards the distance. This time, he was no longer alone, but followed closely by three guards running from a distance.
It wasn't until Zhao Qi finally ran out of strength that he stopped, looked back at the shore, pursed his lips, and said silently in his heart: Zhichuan, I can actually swim farther than you!It's just... I just don't want to see you die in the sea.
When Jia She returned to his mansion, he took a hot bath, washed all the fine sand from his hair, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then walked towards Gu Pengfei's room .
Gu Pengfei was already sound asleep. Jia She was afraid of waking him up, so he didn't dare to light the lamp. He just saw Gu Pengfei's sleeping face through the moonlight leaking in through the window. He had lost a lot of weight these days, and the outline of his face became more obvious. There are uneven stubble all over the place, and there is not even a trace of blood on the lips.Looking at Gu Pengfei, Jia She felt an unexplainable emotion welling up in his heart. He stared blankly for a long while, finally sighed, and filled the empty teapot beside the bed with water. After placing it within Gu Pengfei's reach, he turned and walked out.
Three days later, the case of Gu Pengfei colluding with the enemy and treason was publicly heard by the three divisions.The three divisions refer to the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Yushitai, which are three departments to jointly adjudicate the case. The trial location is still located in the Dali Temple. Because of the previous Taixue petition, Zhao Liming is very unwilling to have a similar situation happen again. Not just anyone can come to this interrogation, and because of Li Fengniang's incident, Zhao Liming also eradicated all doubts about Gu Pengfei, he just signaled to find a scapegoat to cover it up.
The presiding judges were Cheng Wang Zhu of Dali Temple, Ye Menglong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Yue Anguo, Cheng Yue, the censor.
Quite a few ministers from the imperial court came, Ding Dayou and Ma Tianyi were indispensable, many leaders of the central imperial army also came, including Jia She's old acquaintance, Yang Ran, the commander in front of the palace.
Zhao De didn't intend to come over at first, but he was faintly worried that Gu Pengfei would bite him out, so he found a room next door to listen in, but he didn't show up.
Jia She and his few henchmen accompanied Gu Pengfei. When they entered Dali Temple, Jia She turned his head to look at Gu Pengfei. He was very worried that Gu Pengfei would cast a shadow on this place. To Jia She's surprise, The expression on Gu Pengfei's face did not change at all, he was calm and composed.
A group of people waited long ago in the main hall of Dali Temple. The entire Dali Temple was heavily guarded, and many guards were sent around to avoid accidents.
There was only one empty chair in the hall, which was reserved for Jia She. When Jia She walked in, he found that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and he noticed that there was a screen in the hall, and he didn't know who was sitting behind the screen. ?
He glanced at everyone present, secretly calculating in his heart, how many people here are looking forward to Zhao De's downfall, and how many people are tied to a rope with Zhao De.
This trial was extremely weird. There was only Gu Pengfei as the defendant, but there was no plaintiff at all. As soon as the presiding judge Wang Zhu saw Jia She and his three henchmen coming in, he felt itchy with hatred in his heart, but his legs couldn't help it. Trembling - he was imprisoned by Jia She for one night, and suffered a lot, but his legs were blocked by the table in front of him, so no one could see him.
Gu Pengfei was wearing ordinary clothes and without any armor. He stood under the hall without saying a word.No one spoke first, and the atmosphere was extremely weird!
Instead, there was a low coughing sound from behind the screen, and Wang Zhu woke up like a dream, knowing that this was the people behind urging him to start quickly!
Wang Zhu said to Gu Pengfei and the ministers present: "Since everyone is here, let's start!"
Although he said so, his eyes were on Ding Dayou, Ding Dayou nodded slightly.
Wang Zhu then asked routinely: "Who is standing under the hall?"
Jia She scolded his mother in his heart, Gu Pengfei replied: "Gu Pengfei, commander of the Dragon Guard Army!"
Wang Zhu said again: "General Gu, some people say that you have conspired against us, and the evidence is convincing. Is there such a thing?"
Gu Pengfei said proudly: "There is absolutely no such thing! My lord said that the evidence is solid, where is the evidence?"
Wang Zhu's forehead began to sweat, but he also bit the bullet and ordered the small official in Dali Temple to present the forged letter of communication with the enemy.Because of the rush of time, the letter of communication with the enemy was very crudely forged. Gu Pengfei only glanced at it, and said: "Everyone is clear, the handwriting of this letter is not from the guilty minister, and the seal used is also my official seal. If I sincerely agree with Lie Dagger Collusion, how can you use this kind of thing? It should be a private seal, right?"
Wang Zhu had already noticed that Jia She's sharp gaze was sweeping towards him, and his heart skipped a beat. He looked at the other two presiding judges, but the other two looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, they didn't care at all. Say something.Wang Zhu could only say: "It seems that someone has made a false accusation! Come and bring the plaintiff here!"
Immediately, another small official came forward and brought up a person who didn't know who it was.
Wang Zhu only asked for a while, and the man knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The little one used to be under General Gu's tent, and was punished by General Gu for not obeying military discipline, so he held a grudge, and the lard covered his heart, so he got up. Maliciousness, my lord knows it!"
Wang Zhu saw that the person who had arranged for him had already confessed, so he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly said: "So that's the case, the truth of this matter has been revealed, General Gu is innocent, and the case is closed! Pull this small school down, and he will be punished the next day!"
Wang Zhu hadn't finished speaking, when suddenly someone in the hall laughed twice.
Ye Menglong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "What is Mrs. Jia laughing at?"
Jia She stood up and said, "I'm just kidding, the interrogation of the three divisions is like a child's play!"
What Jia She said was tantamount to dropping a heavy bomb on the previous extremely boring interrogation. Ding Dayou and Ma Tianyi looked at each other and knew that the real good show was about to begin!
Ye Menglong asked, "Why did Shumi Jia say that?"
Jia She said: "General Gu's collusion with the enemy and treason is a big deal, just let him go after a casual trial like this, it's really hard for a low-level official to feel at ease!"
Wang Zhu didn't speak at all, and Ye Menglong asked, "What does Shumi Yijia mean?"
Jia She raised his eyebrows slightly, bowed to the people sitting there, and said with a smile, "Hao Jing, the envoy of Lie Dagger Tu, is at the post. As a counselor under Lie Dagger Tu's account, he must know a lot, why not Call him for questioning? Return General Gu's innocence?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone knew that Jia She was the one who took the lead in making trouble and wanted to release Gu Pengfei. Taking a look, Yu Shi Zhongcheng said: "Jia Shumi is just and impartial. If that's the case, it doesn't hurt to ask Hao Jing!"
Jia She lowered his head and whispered something to Hu Yeqin who was beside him, Hu Yeqin turned around and walked out, and within a moment, two people came from the Dali Temple.
One is Linghu Chunshui, the personal bodyguard who has been with Jia She all the year round, and the other is Hao Jing, the emissary of Lie Dagger Tu.
As soon as Hao Jing entered the hall, Jia She turned to Hao Jing and said in a slightly threatening tone, "Master Hao, you have to think about what to say!"
Hao Jing glared at Jia She angrily, and said angrily, "Is this how the Tianshui Dynasty treats them? Clerk Jia, what do you want me to say? Gu Pengfei is not guilty? Don't even think about it! He has clearly communicated with the enemy and treason The evidence is solid!" As he spoke, he took out something from his bosom, which was a letter and a map, and presented them to him.
Everyone started whispering, Hao Jing said loudly: "Jia She is insidious and cunning, he sent someone to threaten me that if he dared to say even half a word against Gu Pengfei, he would detain me in Tianshui Dynasty and never return!"
There was an uproar in the hall, and Wang Zhu was secretly happy. He took the letter and the map, but his face remained calm, and he looked at Gu Pengfei: "General Gu, what else do you have to say?"
Gu Pengfei said: "Hao Jing is the emissary of Lie Dagger Tu, of course he is doing his best to frame him!"
Everyone's eyes almost fell off, everyone looked at Jia She, and some of them were still gloating in their hearts: This guy is really shooting himself in the foot! !
Furious, Jia She rushed forward, grabbed Hao Jing by the collar, and wanted to question him loudly, but was pushed away by the soldiers in the hall. Hao Jing bowed to everyone and said, "Although my officer is the envoy of the Tatar Kingdom, But you don't want to help Jia She make perjury evidence! Linghu Chunshui, you've been staring at me for two or three days, trying to find this criminal evidence, but I never thought I'd keep it safe, so you haven't found it!"
Linghu Chunshui smiled, but did not answer.
But Jia She pointed at Hao Jing's nose and cursed: "Your words don't count! It's clearly a frame-up! Three chief judges, take a closer look at the collaborating letter, it must not be General Gu's handwriting!"
Wang Zhu smiled indifferently, and said: "It's unexpected that there are so many mysteries in this matter, it's really unexpected! It seems that General Gu will stay in Dali Temple for a while..."
Unexpectedly, before Wang Zhu finished speaking, Ye Menglong who was beside him suddenly said: "No! There is something wrong with this handwriting and seal!" Then he took the map again, and his brows furrowed even deeper!
Jia She threw off his sleeves angrily at Hao Jing, and sat back to his seat angrily. Ye Menglong asked Hao Jing, "If you dare to ask General Gu to defend Ezhou, he was transferred to the Dragon Guard Army for only ten days. Half a month ago, where did you send the defense map of Lin'an City to Lie Dagger Map?"
Hao Jing was suddenly dumbfounded and speechless.
Ding Dayou sat firmly in the auditorium. At this moment, he was observing the situation, and he already knew that there was something tricky in it, so he took the opportunity to say: "How about showing the defense map of Lin'an City for everyone to see?"
Wang Zhu and Ding Dayou were not in the same way, but the presiding censor, Cheng Yue Anguo, had already taken refuge in Ding Dayou's sect. Now that he heard about it, he picked up the defense plan and sent it to Ding Dayou.
Ding Dayou didn't even look at it, handed it directly to Jia She, and asked meaningfully: "What do you think, Mr. Jia?"
Jia She pretended to be careful, looked at the picture, suddenly raised his head, glared at Hao Jing, and asked sharply, "Tell me, who are you colluding with? You want to murder the good general of the country!"
Hao Jing was sternly yelled at by Jia She, and suddenly shivered, before he could speak, he heard Linghu Chunshui standing next to Hao Jing say, "Lord Jia, I found something else with Master Hao Jing! Know that he is one who does not shed tears without seeing the coffin!"
As he spoke, he also took out something from his bosom, shook it a bit, and unfolded it in front of everyone.
Everyone looked carefully, and saw a line written on it: Mr. Hao, the evidence has been delivered, Gu Pengfei must be put to death in the hall!There must be a lot of thanks afterwards, you and I have known each other for a long time, you will not let me down, and I will not let you down!
There is no signature below, but a sign is drawn, and a seal is stamped next to it.
Jia She pretended to suddenly realize: "Hao Jing, you are really in collusion with someone! Who ordered you to do this!! Tell me!"
Hao Jing staggered back two steps, did not answer, but with a bang, something fell to the ground and broke into several pieces!
Hu Yeqin was the first to call out: "Huh? Isn't this the new Rouge Jasper that King Rui got? How could it be on Mr. Hao?"
Hao Jing said anxiously: "King Rui is the prince of Tianshui Dynasty, how can he collude with me? What good will it do him?!"
Ding Dayou, Ma Tianyi and other people who disliked Zhao De all jumped in their hearts. Hao Jing is a Tatar envoy, so it is impossible for him to speak so carelessly, and it is even more impossible for Jia She to drink him out of his wits.But it doesn't matter who Hao Jing colluded with, the important thing is that this is an opportunity for Zhao De to step down! !
Ma Tianyi took the lead and said: "Come here, torture!"
Hao Jing said angrily: "If the two countries are fighting each other, if you don't kill the envoy, how dare you do that?"
Wang Zhu was still hesitating, but Yue Anguo, the prime minister in the imperial censor, had already spoken: "First slander General Gu, and then slander King Rui! Sentence!"
Immediately, someone dragged Hao Jing down, and the crowd could only hear the screams outside, and within a quarter of an hour, Hao Jing shouted: "I'll do it, I'll do it!! It's King Rui... King Rui ordered..."
Zhao De was delighted to hear it from the next door, but he didn't expect the disaster to come to him for a while, he couldn't hold back anymore, he opened the door, broke into the hall, and angrily scolded Jia She: "Jia She, how dare you slander me?" This king!!"
Jia She smiled and gave Linghu Chunshui a wink, Linghu Chunshui walked out, and several minor officials dragged Hao Jing in, when Hao Jing saw Zhao De, he hoarsed at the top of his lungs: "Your Highness, you said Will keep me safe!"
Zhao De stomped towards Hao Jing, but was stopped by Linghu Chunshui, Ding Dayou said slowly: "His Royal Highness Rui Wang, don't worry, right and wrong, you have your own judgment!"
Hao Jing, however, looked ashamed and angry, glaring at Zhao De, and said sharply: "King Rui, what do you mean, do you want to kill me? You are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"
At this moment, the three presiding judges in the hall were unable to intervene. Ding Dayou looked at Hao Jing with a smile, and said softly: "Master Hao, why do you do this? Frame the prince is a capital crime, no matter whose emissary you are, come to Tianshui Dynasty, then we must act in accordance with the laws of the Tianshui Dynasty!"
Jia She hit the point straight: "Hao Jing, how much benefit can you gain by slandering General Gu!!"
Hao Jing was trembling all over, his body was covered in blood and his hair was disheveled, but he stared at Zhao De viciously, saying: "Your Highness said that Gu Pengfei and him are not in the same way. , give all to the Tatars!"
Zhao De's face turned blue, and he said angrily, "You're talking nonsense! How much did you take from Jia She?"
Jia She spread his hands, and shook his head: "He hates me, I've been chasing after the peace payment of Lie Dagger Tu! King Rui is generous, but you are just a prince, and you are not an official..."
Hao Jing and Jia She sang together: "King Rui said that the current emperor of the Shui Dynasty will not live long, and he can't wait..."
Ding Dayou took the opportunity to sigh: "Your Highness, you are too impatient, do you want to hide weapons in the mansion..."
All the officials present here, who only look forward to Ding Dayou's leadership, immediately stood in line and stated: "This is a big deal! We can't tolerate it, His Highness King Rui should avoid suspicion, don't stay here any longer!"
"Why don't you send someone to search Prince Rui's mansion to show His Highness's innocence..."
Several generals in the army who came to watch watched the dog bite the dog with their arms crossed, secretly guessing who would bite off more hair.
Jia She shouted sharply: "Send someone immediately to search Hao Jing's residence! Find out who is behind the Gu Pengfei case!"
Zhao De pointed at Jia She: "What are you, you climb up with your butt..."
When there was a lot of noise in the hall, a cold voice suddenly came from behind the screen: "Enough!"
Everyone fell silent immediately, and a figure dressed in bright yellow came out from behind the screen. Zhao Liming's face was ashen, with his hands in his sleeves, he was quite angry.Dong Quanzhong stood beside Zhao Liming with his head down, looking cautious.
Everyone quickly knelt down: "I wait to see Your Majesty!"
Zhao Liming looked at Jia She coldly, then set his eyes on Ding Dayou, then slowly swept across the officials in front of him, and finally stared at Zhao De who was standing under the hall.
Everyone didn't dare to say anything, Jia She sneered in his heart: Zhao De's reputation has been completely ruined by such a disturbance, and he still wants to be emperor, so go ahead and play!Zhao Liming is an idiot, and he doesn't like you anymore!
Zhao Liming didn't speak for a long time, and everyone didn't dare to speak. After a while, Zhao Liming sighed softly and said: "This matter ends here! Hao Jing is expelled from the country, and he is not allowed to come to court again!"
The emperor had spoken, and everyone really couldn't pursue it further, so they could only say in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Liming glanced at Zhao De very dissatisfied, and said, "You come with me!"
Zhao De looked at Jia She with hatred, and followed closely behind Zhao Liming.
Zhao Liming didn't say anything, and went straight to the palace in a sedan chair, Zhao De followed behind him in a nervous mood.
As soon as the two entered the palace, Zhao Liming came to the bedroom, dismissed the surrounding maids and eunuchs, furious, and slapped Zhao De on the face.
Zhao De knelt down with a thud, and said in tears, "Father, it is Jia She. Jia She instructed Hao Jing to frame my son! My son has no objection, father is a clear lesson!"
Zhao Liming snorted, and said angrily, "Jia She is playing with you in the palm of your hand. Look at yourself. Do you have the slightest royal bearing? If you become the emperor in the future, you will not be played by the ministers." Die?! How did I give birth to such an unworthy son like you!"
Zhao De originally thought that Zhao Liming was angry because he suspected that he wanted to usurp the throne. Hearing what Zhao Liming said now, he felt a bit chilled, but he was not reconciled.
Zhao Liming waved his hand, very tired, said: "Okay, I will take care of his affairs! Go back, I don't want to see you again!"
Zhao De looked at Zhao Liming unwillingly, and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
It wasn't until Zhao De left that Zhao Liming sighed, sat on the dragon chair, rubbed his temples, and casually asked Dong Quanzhong beside him, "Say, can I hand over the country to such a person?" ?”
Dong Quanzhong naturally knew that what Zhao Liming was talking about was about the crown prince, he thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a major national event, and I dare not speak nonsense!"
Zhao Liming sighed, and said: "My two sons, needless to say, Zhao Buyu, originally thought that King Rui would be able to take on the big responsibility... Now it seems, hey..."
Dong Quanzhong took the opportunity to add insult to injury, and said: "Officials, King Rui is young, so he may be careless for a while. However, King Rui's performance in Dali Temple today, I am afraid that all the ministers will be dissatisfied. We should find a way to make up for it!"
Zhao Liming waved his hand, feeling extremely exhausted, said: "Quan Zhong, you should step down too, I want to be alone for a while!"
When the hall was empty, Zhao Liming took down the edict he had drafted to establish the Prince from the bookshelf, stared at it for a while, and finally put the edict aside, only to feel that his head hurt even more.During today's joint trial among the three divisions, the tendency of the ministers in the court and the central government was very obvious, and no one jumped out to speak for Zhao De. Although this person is much smarter than Zhao Buyu, he is also very unpopular!As for Jia She, this person is quite courageous, and even more annoying, he absolutely cannot stay any longer!
Thinking of this, Zhao Liming only felt irritable, opened the door, and walked out of the hall, and inadvertently came to Li Fengniang's residence.
These days, Zhao Liming deeply felt that he owed Li Fengniang too much, and Li Fengniang also deliberately flattered her, and gained a lot of Zhao Liming's favor and trust.Zhao Liming was upset, he walked into the hall and saw Li Fengniang painting, he smiled and said, "Fengniang, what are you doing?"
Li Fengniang didn't raise her head, she said slightly angrily: "Once the official comes, it will disturb all the ministers and concubines!"
Seeing Li Fengniang, Zhao Liming felt much better, and was about to step forward to hug her, but unexpectedly, Li Fengniang turned slightly sideways, and smiled at Zhao Liming: "Officials, you run to your concubine all day, but you will make trouble with some people." Drought and flood are uneven!"
Zhao Liming smiled, and said: "You are virtuous! Others want me to go to her, but you want to push me into other people's arms!"
Li Fengniang smiled softly, her face flushed slightly: "Your Majesty is just joking! You haven't been to Concubine Yan Gui for many days, why don't you go and sit down casually and put on a show. After finishing the painting, serve His Majesty well!"
Zhao Qi resolutely said: "No!!"
Jia She was speechless, and wailed in his heart: Damn, I didn't wear any pants, and the bottom touched my thigh! !But he couldn't say these words, so he could only silently bleed internally.
Zhao Qi looked at Jia She for a long while, and although he said no, he let go of his hand and sat aside by himself, the two of them didn't speak any more, only the sound of Haitao was heard.
The horse that brought the two of them was still far away, flicking its tail unhurriedly, very leisurely.
After a while, Zhao Qidao: "Don't be so stubborn, this time Fu Que wrote the letter, which made the officials very unhappy, but no matter how unhappy he is, he will not dare to take you as a 'national hero' for a while. But if you insist on using this incident to punish Zhao De, the government will definitely not tolerate you, and... many people in the court will also regard you as a thorn in the side. Sometimes when doing things, Don't make it too extreme, he is the prince after all, and many people are involved..."
Jia She snorted and didn't speak.
Zhao Qi continued: "It's not easy for you to fight against Lie Dagger in Ezhou, you can bear it, this time..."
Jia She gritted his teeth and said, "You also know how Zhao De dealt with Pengfei! I didn't do anything in the battle of Ezhou. As for the hero, the real hero is Pengfei! I can't tolerate someone treating him like this!"
Zhao Qi turned his head and looked at Jia She, his eyes suddenly became extremely deep: "So, you want to kill Gu Pengfei entirely for the sake of Gu Pengfei?"
Jia She hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yes! I won just now, Your Highness, don't take your word for it!"
Zhao Qi looked at Jia She for a while, sighed lowly, and said in a barely audible voice, "Okay! You go back first, and I'll send someone to deliver the things to you later."
Jia She stood up, bowed to Zhao Qi, whistled, summoned his own horse, and threw Zhao Qi's clothes to him. When he put on his clothes, he found that his pants and hair were full of sand. uncomfortable.
When Jia She got dressed, he found Zhao Qi lying on the spot without moving. Jia She said, "Your Highness, come back with me. You are alone and you don't have a horse. How can you go back?"
Zhao Qi didn't turn his head back: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, I can go back!"
Jia She was a little surprised when he heard Zhao Qi say this, he looked around but saw no one on the vast beach, he didn't know if Zhao Qi was going to walk back or crawl back.Jia She hesitated a little, and stretched out his hand on the horseback: "Your Highness, let's go together!"
Zhao Qi shook his head and stopped talking.
Seeing Zhao Qi's firm attitude, Jia She knew it was useless to talk too much, so he turned his horse's head and walked slowly by himself.
Under the moonlight, by the beach, Zhao Qi turned his head and looked at Jia She's back as he walked farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the distance as a black spot. Suddenly, an indescribable melancholy surged in his heart.
Suddenly, Zhao Qi jumped into the sea again and swam vigorously towards the distance. This time, he was no longer alone, but followed closely by three guards running from a distance.
It wasn't until Zhao Qi finally ran out of strength that he stopped, looked back at the shore, pursed his lips, and said silently in his heart: Zhichuan, I can actually swim farther than you!It's just... I just don't want to see you die in the sea.
When Jia She returned to his mansion, he took a hot bath, washed all the fine sand from his hair, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then walked towards Gu Pengfei's room .
Gu Pengfei was already sound asleep. Jia She was afraid of waking him up, so he didn't dare to light the lamp. He just saw Gu Pengfei's sleeping face through the moonlight leaking in through the window. He had lost a lot of weight these days, and the outline of his face became more obvious. There are uneven stubble all over the place, and there is not even a trace of blood on the lips.Looking at Gu Pengfei, Jia She felt an unexplainable emotion welling up in his heart. He stared blankly for a long while, finally sighed, and filled the empty teapot beside the bed with water. After placing it within Gu Pengfei's reach, he turned and walked out.
Three days later, the case of Gu Pengfei colluding with the enemy and treason was publicly heard by the three divisions.The three divisions refer to the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Yushitai, which are three departments to jointly adjudicate the case. The trial location is still located in the Dali Temple. Because of the previous Taixue petition, Zhao Liming is very unwilling to have a similar situation happen again. Not just anyone can come to this interrogation, and because of Li Fengniang's incident, Zhao Liming also eradicated all doubts about Gu Pengfei, he just signaled to find a scapegoat to cover it up.
The presiding judges were Cheng Wang Zhu of Dali Temple, Ye Menglong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Yue Anguo, Cheng Yue, the censor.
Quite a few ministers from the imperial court came, Ding Dayou and Ma Tianyi were indispensable, many leaders of the central imperial army also came, including Jia She's old acquaintance, Yang Ran, the commander in front of the palace.
Zhao De didn't intend to come over at first, but he was faintly worried that Gu Pengfei would bite him out, so he found a room next door to listen in, but he didn't show up.
Jia She and his few henchmen accompanied Gu Pengfei. When they entered Dali Temple, Jia She turned his head to look at Gu Pengfei. He was very worried that Gu Pengfei would cast a shadow on this place. To Jia She's surprise, The expression on Gu Pengfei's face did not change at all, he was calm and composed.
A group of people waited long ago in the main hall of Dali Temple. The entire Dali Temple was heavily guarded, and many guards were sent around to avoid accidents.
There was only one empty chair in the hall, which was reserved for Jia She. When Jia She walked in, he found that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and he noticed that there was a screen in the hall, and he didn't know who was sitting behind the screen. ?

Instead, there was a low coughing sound from behind the screen, and Wang Zhu woke up like a dream, knowing that this was the people behind urging him to start quickly!
Wang Zhu said to Gu Pengfei and the ministers present: "Since everyone is here, let's start!"
Although he said so, his eyes were on Ding Dayou, Ding Dayou nodded slightly.
Wang Zhu then asked routinely: "Who is standing under the hall?"
Jia She scolded his mother in his heart, Gu Pengfei replied: "Gu Pengfei, commander of the Dragon Guard Army!"
Wang Zhu said again: "General Gu, some people say that you have conspired against us, and the evidence is convincing. Is there such a thing?"
Gu Pengfei said proudly: "There is absolutely no such thing! My lord said that the evidence is solid, where is the evidence?"
Wang Zhu's forehead began to sweat, but he also bit the bullet and ordered the small official in Dali Temple to present the forged letter of communication with the enemy.Because of the rush of time, the letter of communication with the enemy was very crudely forged. Gu Pengfei only glanced at it, and said: "Everyone is clear, the handwriting of this letter is not from the guilty minister, and the seal used is also my official seal. If I sincerely agree with Lie Dagger Collusion, how can you use this kind of thing? It should be a private seal, right?"
Wang Zhu had already noticed that Jia She's sharp gaze was sweeping towards him, and his heart skipped a beat. He looked at the other two presiding judges, but the other two looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, they didn't care at all. Say something.Wang Zhu could only say: "It seems that someone has made a false accusation! Come and bring the plaintiff here!"
Immediately, another small official came forward and brought up a person who didn't know who it was.
Wang Zhu only asked for a while, and the man knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The little one used to be under General Gu's tent, and was punished by General Gu for not obeying military discipline, so he held a grudge, and the lard covered his heart, so he got up. Maliciousness, my lord knows it!"
Wang Zhu saw that the person who had arranged for him had already confessed, so he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly said: "So that's the case, the truth of this matter has been revealed, General Gu is innocent, and the case is closed! Pull this small school down, and he will be punished the next day!"
Wang Zhu hadn't finished speaking, when suddenly someone in the hall laughed twice.
Ye Menglong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "What is Mrs. Jia laughing at?"
Jia She stood up and said, "I'm just kidding, the interrogation of the three divisions is like a child's play!"
What Jia She said was tantamount to dropping a heavy bomb on the previous extremely boring interrogation. Ding Dayou and Ma Tianyi looked at each other and knew that the real good show was about to begin!
Ye Menglong asked, "Why did Shumi Jia say that?"
Jia She said: "General Gu's collusion with the enemy and treason is a big deal, just let him go after a casual trial like this, it's really hard for a low-level official to feel at ease!"
Wang Zhu didn't speak at all, and Ye Menglong asked, "What does Shumi Yijia mean?"
Jia She raised his eyebrows slightly, bowed to the people sitting there, and said with a smile, "Hao Jing, the envoy of Lie Dagger Tu, is at the post. As a counselor under Lie Dagger Tu's account, he must know a lot, why not Call him for questioning? Return General Gu's innocence?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone knew that Jia She was the one who took the lead in making trouble and wanted to release Gu Pengfei. Taking a look, Yu Shi Zhongcheng said: "Jia Shumi is just and impartial. If that's the case, it doesn't hurt to ask Hao Jing!"
Jia She lowered his head and whispered something to Hu Yeqin who was beside him, Hu Yeqin turned around and walked out, and within a moment, two people came from the Dali Temple.
One is Linghu Chunshui, the personal bodyguard who has been with Jia She all the year round, and the other is Hao Jing, the emissary of Lie Dagger Tu.
As soon as Hao Jing entered the hall, Jia She turned to Hao Jing and said in a slightly threatening tone, "Master Hao, you have to think about what to say!"
Hao Jing glared at Jia She angrily, and said angrily, "Is this how the Tianshui Dynasty treats them? Clerk Jia, what do you want me to say? Gu Pengfei is not guilty? Don't even think about it! He has clearly communicated with the enemy and treason The evidence is solid!" As he spoke, he took out something from his bosom, which was a letter and a map, and presented them to him.
Everyone started whispering, Hao Jing said loudly: "Jia She is insidious and cunning, he sent someone to threaten me that if he dared to say even half a word against Gu Pengfei, he would detain me in Tianshui Dynasty and never return!"
There was an uproar in the hall, and Wang Zhu was secretly happy. He took the letter and the map, but his face remained calm, and he looked at Gu Pengfei: "General Gu, what else do you have to say?"
Gu Pengfei said: "Hao Jing is the emissary of Lie Dagger Tu, of course he is doing his best to frame him!"
Everyone's eyes almost fell off, everyone looked at Jia She, and some of them were still gloating in their hearts: This guy is really shooting himself in the foot! !
Furious, Jia She rushed forward, grabbed Hao Jing by the collar, and wanted to question him loudly, but was pushed away by the soldiers in the hall. Hao Jing bowed to everyone and said, "Although my officer is the envoy of the Tatar Kingdom, But you don't want to help Jia She make perjury evidence! Linghu Chunshui, you've been staring at me for two or three days, trying to find this criminal evidence, but I never thought I'd keep it safe, so you haven't found it!"
Linghu Chunshui smiled, but did not answer.
But Jia She pointed at Hao Jing's nose and cursed: "Your words don't count! It's clearly a frame-up! Three chief judges, take a closer look at the collaborating letter, it must not be General Gu's handwriting!"
Wang Zhu smiled indifferently, and said: "It's unexpected that there are so many mysteries in this matter, it's really unexpected! It seems that General Gu will stay in Dali Temple for a while..."
Unexpectedly, before Wang Zhu finished speaking, Ye Menglong who was beside him suddenly said: "No! There is something wrong with this handwriting and seal!" Then he took the map again, and his brows furrowed even deeper!
Jia She threw off his sleeves angrily at Hao Jing, and sat back to his seat angrily. Ye Menglong asked Hao Jing, "If you dare to ask General Gu to defend Ezhou, he was transferred to the Dragon Guard Army for only ten days. Half a month ago, where did you send the defense map of Lin'an City to Lie Dagger Map?"
Hao Jing was suddenly dumbfounded and speechless.
Ding Dayou sat firmly in the auditorium. At this moment, he was observing the situation, and he already knew that there was something tricky in it, so he took the opportunity to say: "How about showing the defense map of Lin'an City for everyone to see?"
Wang Zhu and Ding Dayou were not in the same way, but the presiding censor, Cheng Yue Anguo, had already taken refuge in Ding Dayou's sect. Now that he heard about it, he picked up the defense plan and sent it to Ding Dayou.
Ding Dayou didn't even look at it, handed it directly to Jia She, and asked meaningfully: "What do you think, Mr. Jia?"
Jia She pretended to be careful, looked at the picture, suddenly raised his head, glared at Hao Jing, and asked sharply, "Tell me, who are you colluding with? You want to murder the good general of the country!"
Hao Jing was sternly yelled at by Jia She, and suddenly shivered, before he could speak, he heard Linghu Chunshui standing next to Hao Jing say, "Lord Jia, I found something else with Master Hao Jing! Know that he is one who does not shed tears without seeing the coffin!"
As he spoke, he also took out something from his bosom, shook it a bit, and unfolded it in front of everyone.
Everyone looked carefully, and saw a line written on it: Mr. Hao, the evidence has been delivered, Gu Pengfei must be put to death in the hall!There must be a lot of thanks afterwards, you and I have known each other for a long time, you will not let me down, and I will not let you down!
There is no signature below, but a sign is drawn, and a seal is stamped next to it.
Jia She pretended to suddenly realize: "Hao Jing, you are really in collusion with someone! Who ordered you to do this!! Tell me!"
Hao Jing staggered back two steps, did not answer, but with a bang, something fell to the ground and broke into several pieces!
Hu Yeqin was the first to call out: "Huh? Isn't this the new Rouge Jasper that King Rui got? How could it be on Mr. Hao?"
Hao Jing said anxiously: "King Rui is the prince of Tianshui Dynasty, how can he collude with me? What good will it do him?!"
Ding Dayou, Ma Tianyi and other people who disliked Zhao De all jumped in their hearts. Hao Jing is a Tatar envoy, so it is impossible for him to speak so carelessly, and it is even more impossible for Jia She to drink him out of his wits.But it doesn't matter who Hao Jing colluded with, the important thing is that this is an opportunity for Zhao De to step down! !
Ma Tianyi took the lead and said: "Come here, torture!"
Hao Jing said angrily: "If the two countries are fighting each other, if you don't kill the envoy, how dare you do that?"
Wang Zhu was still hesitating, but Yue Anguo, the prime minister in the imperial censor, had already spoken: "First slander General Gu, and then slander King Rui! Sentence!"
Immediately, someone dragged Hao Jing down, and the crowd could only hear the screams outside, and within a quarter of an hour, Hao Jing shouted: "I'll do it, I'll do it!! It's King Rui... King Rui ordered..."
Zhao De was delighted to hear it from the next door, but he didn't expect the disaster to come to him for a while, he couldn't hold back anymore, he opened the door, broke into the hall, and angrily scolded Jia She: "Jia She, how dare you slander me?" This king!!"
Jia She smiled and gave Linghu Chunshui a wink, Linghu Chunshui walked out, and several minor officials dragged Hao Jing in, when Hao Jing saw Zhao De, he hoarsed at the top of his lungs: "Your Highness, you said Will keep me safe!"
Zhao De stomped towards Hao Jing, but was stopped by Linghu Chunshui, Ding Dayou said slowly: "His Royal Highness Rui Wang, don't worry, right and wrong, you have your own judgment!"
Hao Jing, however, looked ashamed and angry, glaring at Zhao De, and said sharply: "King Rui, what do you mean, do you want to kill me? You are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"
At this moment, the three presiding judges in the hall were unable to intervene. Ding Dayou looked at Hao Jing with a smile, and said softly: "Master Hao, why do you do this? Frame the prince is a capital crime, no matter whose emissary you are, come to Tianshui Dynasty, then we must act in accordance with the laws of the Tianshui Dynasty!"
Jia She hit the point straight: "Hao Jing, how much benefit can you gain by slandering General Gu!!"
Hao Jing was trembling all over, his body was covered in blood and his hair was disheveled, but he stared at Zhao De viciously, saying: "Your Highness said that Gu Pengfei and him are not in the same way. , give all to the Tatars!"
Zhao De's face turned blue, and he said angrily, "You're talking nonsense! How much did you take from Jia She?"
Jia She spread his hands, and shook his head: "He hates me, I've been chasing after the peace payment of Lie Dagger Tu! King Rui is generous, but you are just a prince, and you are not an official..."
Hao Jing and Jia She sang together: "King Rui said that the current emperor of the Shui Dynasty will not live long, and he can't wait..."
Ding Dayou took the opportunity to sigh: "Your Highness, you are too impatient, do you want to hide weapons in the mansion..."
All the officials present here, who only look forward to Ding Dayou's leadership, immediately stood in line and stated: "This is a big deal! We can't tolerate it, His Highness King Rui should avoid suspicion, don't stay here any longer!"
"Why don't you send someone to search Prince Rui's mansion to show His Highness's innocence..."
Several generals in the army who came to watch watched the dog bite the dog with their arms crossed, secretly guessing who would bite off more hair.
Jia She shouted sharply: "Send someone immediately to search Hao Jing's residence! Find out who is behind the Gu Pengfei case!"
Zhao De pointed at Jia She: "What are you, you climb up with your butt..."
When there was a lot of noise in the hall, a cold voice suddenly came from behind the screen: "Enough!"
Everyone fell silent immediately, and a figure dressed in bright yellow came out from behind the screen. Zhao Liming's face was ashen, with his hands in his sleeves, he was quite angry.Dong Quanzhong stood beside Zhao Liming with his head down, looking cautious.
Everyone quickly knelt down: "I wait to see Your Majesty!"
Zhao Liming looked at Jia She coldly, then set his eyes on Ding Dayou, then slowly swept across the officials in front of him, and finally stared at Zhao De who was standing under the hall.
Everyone didn't dare to say anything, Jia She sneered in his heart: Zhao De's reputation has been completely ruined by such a disturbance, and he still wants to be emperor, so go ahead and play!Zhao Liming is an idiot, and he doesn't like you anymore!
Zhao Liming didn't speak for a long time, and everyone didn't dare to speak. After a while, Zhao Liming sighed softly and said: "This matter ends here! Hao Jing is expelled from the country, and he is not allowed to come to court again!"
The emperor had spoken, and everyone really couldn't pursue it further, so they could only say in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Liming glanced at Zhao De very dissatisfied, and said, "You come with me!"
Zhao De looked at Jia She with hatred, and followed closely behind Zhao Liming.
Zhao Liming didn't say anything, and went straight to the palace in a sedan chair, Zhao De followed behind him in a nervous mood.
As soon as the two entered the palace, Zhao Liming came to the bedroom, dismissed the surrounding maids and eunuchs, furious, and slapped Zhao De on the face.
Zhao De knelt down with a thud, and said in tears, "Father, it is Jia She. Jia She instructed Hao Jing to frame my son! My son has no objection, father is a clear lesson!"
Zhao Liming snorted, and said angrily, "Jia She is playing with you in the palm of your hand. Look at yourself. Do you have the slightest royal bearing? If you become the emperor in the future, you will not be played by the ministers." Die?! How did I give birth to such an unworthy son like you!"
Zhao De originally thought that Zhao Liming was angry because he suspected that he wanted to usurp the throne. Hearing what Zhao Liming said now, he felt a bit chilled, but he was not reconciled.
Zhao Liming waved his hand, very tired, said: "Okay, I will take care of his affairs! Go back, I don't want to see you again!"
Zhao De looked at Zhao Liming unwillingly, and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
It wasn't until Zhao De left that Zhao Liming sighed, sat on the dragon chair, rubbed his temples, and casually asked Dong Quanzhong beside him, "Say, can I hand over the country to such a person?" ?”
Dong Quanzhong naturally knew that what Zhao Liming was talking about was about the crown prince, he thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a major national event, and I dare not speak nonsense!"
Zhao Liming sighed, and said: "My two sons, needless to say, Zhao Buyu, originally thought that King Rui would be able to take on the big responsibility... Now it seems, hey..."
Dong Quanzhong took the opportunity to add insult to injury, and said: "Officials, King Rui is young, so he may be careless for a while. However, King Rui's performance in Dali Temple today, I am afraid that all the ministers will be dissatisfied. We should find a way to make up for it!"
Zhao Liming waved his hand, feeling extremely exhausted, said: "Quan Zhong, you should step down too, I want to be alone for a while!"
When the hall was empty, Zhao Liming took down the edict he had drafted to establish the Prince from the bookshelf, stared at it for a while, and finally put the edict aside, only to feel that his head hurt even more.During today's joint trial among the three divisions, the tendency of the ministers in the court and the central government was very obvious, and no one jumped out to speak for Zhao De. Although this person is much smarter than Zhao Buyu, he is also very unpopular!As for Jia She, this person is quite courageous, and even more annoying, he absolutely cannot stay any longer!
Thinking of this, Zhao Liming only felt irritable, opened the door, and walked out of the hall, and inadvertently came to Li Fengniang's residence.
These days, Zhao Liming deeply felt that he owed Li Fengniang too much, and Li Fengniang also deliberately flattered her, and gained a lot of Zhao Liming's favor and trust.Zhao Liming was upset, he walked into the hall and saw Li Fengniang painting, he smiled and said, "Fengniang, what are you doing?"
Li Fengniang didn't raise her head, she said slightly angrily: "Once the official comes, it will disturb all the ministers and concubines!"
Seeing Li Fengniang, Zhao Liming felt much better, and was about to step forward to hug her, but unexpectedly, Li Fengniang turned slightly sideways, and smiled at Zhao Liming: "Officials, you run to your concubine all day, but you will make trouble with some people." Drought and flood are uneven!"
Zhao Liming smiled, and said: "You are virtuous! Others want me to go to her, but you want to push me into other people's arms!"
Li Fengniang smiled softly, her face flushed slightly: "Your Majesty is just joking! You haven't been to Concubine Yan Gui for many days, why don't you go and sit down casually and put on a show. After finishing the painting, serve His Majesty well!"
