Prime Minister Pei choked, but could not refute for a moment.
Because Shi Zhen was indeed beaten to the ground by Yan Mingzhu in full view of everyone, without the ability to fight back.
But soon, Pei Youxiang came to his senses, "Your Highness King Dingbei, you just saw it with your own eyes. Yan Mingzhu openly attacked the imperial officials. According to the law of Jokhang, he must be punished with at least fifty canes and imprisoned in Beijing."
Zhaofu for more than three months..."
Unexpectedly, before Youxiang Pei finished speaking, Qi Jue asked coldly: "I don't think there is anything wrong with taking action out of self-defense.
Could it be that, according to the wishes of Prime Minister Pei, if the other party is an official of the imperial court, even if he attacks someone, the people will suffer and be unable to fight back? When did my Jokhang Law become a parasol to protect the ministers? "
Your Prime Minister Pei blushed at the rebuke, "Xia...Xia Guan certainly didn't mean this. How could His Highness King Dingbei misinterpret Xia Guan's words like this? This is slander!"
"Putting aside the slander, I am quite curious. Prime Minister Pei took a sick leave this morning. If he is ill, why would he appear at the door of Yongyihou's mansion, meddling in other people's business?
Are you meddling in other people's business?"
Prime Minister Pei You, who was ridiculed as a dog, blushed. However, due to Qi Jue's identity, he could only bear this tone for the time being and said instead: "I just happened to pass by. Your Highness, you said it was a coincidence. It happened to be..."
The officer saw that there was no one guarding the back door of Yongyihou's mansion.
After a while, the young and old of the Yuan family came out carrying the coffin. The official remembered that His Majesty had issued an imperial edict before, prohibiting the Yuan family members from stepping out of the Hou Mansion.
If what happened today reaches His Majesty's ears, the Yuan family will have committed a crime of disobedience, and the serious crime may be to lose their heads. The official remembered that he and Marquis Yongyi were officials in the same court in the past, so he kindly reminded him a few words, but who would have thought that Yan would lose his head.
Youxiang Pei thought Qi Jue was talking about Yan Mingzhu, and before he even raised his smile, he saw Feiyun grabbing his arm and forcefully breaking him off!
"You...what are you doing? Let me go! Who gave you the courage to dare to touch me? I am a first-rank minister of the imperial court!"
Just as he was about to struggle, Qi Jue's cold eyes fell on him, and he opened his lips lightly: "I gave you the courage, right minister Pei, to have any objections? It's useless to hold it in, and take it to Jingzhao Mansion."
"You...Dingbei King, why do you arrest me? Although you are the prince, I am also an important minister of the court. You are innocent and have no right to touch me!"
When Qi Jue heard this, he sneered. He took out an imperial edict without haste, spread it out, and said in a watery tone, "I, by the imperial decree of my father, have come to send Marquis Yongyi and others to their graves."
,
Unexpectedly, Your Prime Minister Pei blocked the door of the Hou Mansion, and kept saying that the Yuan family had committed a crime of disobedience by leaving the Hou Mansion privately, but he did not know that if You Prime Minister Pei slandered others, how should he be punished according to Jokhang law?"
At this time, Your Majesty Pei's expression completely changed, "Impossible, Your Majesty...how could Your Majesty issue such an imperial edict?"
Although Dali Temple has not yet completely convicted Yongyihou Mansion, the 100,000 soldiers who died in Yue Mountain were still alive. How could Emperor Zhao let go and send Qi Jue to give Yongyihou his final farewell?
"Why, does Mr. Pei mean that this king has falsely conveyed the imperial edict?"
Prime Minister Pei Youxiang's heart skipped a beat. Although Qi Jue usually behaved erratically and was not taken seriously by anyone, he would not have been able to falsely pass on imperial edicts unless he was crazy.
Thinking of this, Pei Youxiang immediately smiled with a smile, "Your Highness said something serious, but the official misunderstood this matter. The official also reminded Shi Youwei out of good intentions,
But the person who ordered the attack on the Yuan family was not Xiaguan. Is it unreasonable for Your Highness to arrest Xiaguan and take him to Jingzhao Mansion?"
He really looked like a villain. As soon as he saw what happened was revealed, he immediately pushed Shi Zhen out to take the blame.
And Shi Zhen was also honest. After he reluctantly got up from the ground, he knelt down and apologized: "Your Highness, this is all because I didn't understand the situation clearly, and I almost hurt the Yuan family first. I am willing to bear the consequences!"
Qi Jue only gave him a faint look, "Of course you can't escape your guilt."
With that said, Qi Jue raised his hand and motioned to capture Pei Youxiang and Shi Zhen together and send them to Jingzhao Mansion together.
Pei Youxiang struggled and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Dingbei, Shi Zhen himself said that it is his responsibility and has nothing to do with the truth. What do you mean by this?"
Qi Jue's cool eyes fell on him, "Youxiang Pei, I'm not blind yet. You just ordered your attendants to attack from behind, but I can see clearly.
Why, Pei Youxiang doesn't want to go to Jingzhao Mansion, but wants to lie on the ground and become a cold corpse like this attendant? It's not that I can't fulfill your desire to die."
Prime Minister Pei's face darkened instantly, his neck shrank, and he couldn't help but cast his gaze at the attendant who was lying on the ground with his eyes open.
Pfft.
In the atmosphere of confrontation, Yuan Yi couldn't hold back her laughter and laughed out loud.
Just before Qi Jue showed up, Right Prime Minister Pei was so impressive that he even encouraged the Imperial Army to attack them.
As a result, at the moment, Qi Jue's verbal rebuke was not only speechless, but his face was as black as a pot, which was really unpleasant!
Pei Youxiang stared at Qi Jue and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Your Highness, if you say that your subordinate ordered his entourage to attack people from behind, you need to pay attention to the evidence. Your subordinate is a first-class court official. Unless the evidence is conclusive, otherwise the Jingzhao Mansion will
You have no right to detain me!"
Qi Jue Yun said lightly: "I hate repeating a sentence the second time. Since Mr. Pei Youxiang refuses to admit guilt, let's kill him."
With a move of Feiyun's wrist, the long sword was unsheathed in an instant, and the next second it was placed on the neck of Right Prime Minister Pei, pressing against his lifeline, with undisguised murderous intent!
Right Prime Minister Pei's legs suddenly went weak, and he collapsed on the ground with a bang, his voice trembling: "You... I am... the right minister, you... if you dare to kill me, Your Majesty will not
Be gentle!"
Hearing this, Qi Jue chuckled lightly and asked: "So what? When Guo Xiang was still the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I killed him as soon as I asked him to. He was also a first-class courtier. Pei Youxiang, don't do it."
If you take yourself too seriously, you will become nothing more than a minister."
Now, Prime Minister Pei really believed that Qi Jue would kill him on the spot!
Youxiang Pei is also a flexible person. He lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Your Highness, it was... it was the fault of the lower official. The lower official should not meddle in other people's business. The lower official will go to Jingzhao Mansion and admit his mistake on his own initiative.
Accept the punishment!"
With that said, Pei Youxiang stood up tremblingly and was about to leave when Qi Jue's cold voice sounded again: "Does this king allow you to leave?"
