However, no matter how dissatisfied the emperor was, he could only suppress it at this time.
When Nan Guo asked for wine, he had someone make it according to the recipe given by the masters at the Changzhu Winery. The recipes were all the same, but the taste was not as good as the one the envoy of Nan Guo got from Xiao Yu.
A jar.
He was afraid that the chefs in Princess Princess Winery would deceive him with a fake recipe, so he specially found the cook in the palace's imperial dining room who was responsible for brewing wine. The cook in the palace carefully studied the recipe and the envoy from the Southern Kingdom.
The wine I got, I can be sure that the recipe is correct and there are no differences in the ingredients, but the taste is different, but I can't find out what the reason is.
The emperor was filled with anger, but he could only suppress it in his heart.
He knew that this piece of shit Xiao Yu wouldn't give it to him so happily.
With his chest heaving, the emperor said: "Yu'er is angry with me. I still know what kind of character the Princess of Nanhuai is. Besides, now that the Ministry of Punishment has a suspect, your princess is innocent."
Xiao Yu said: "Since my princess is pure and innocent, I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to tell the world that my princess is pure and innocent."
The emperor could hardly hold back his anger and slapped his palm on the table, but he could only swallow the anger dryly, with a kind smile on his face, "Okay, our princess of Yu'er is a woman and deserves my love."
This is an imperial edict that is announced to the world."
After saying that, the emperor turned to look at the interior manager, "Go and invite Yu'er's princess."
The head chamberlain obeyed the order and left.
The emperor smiled at Xiao Yu and said, "Yu'er's anger is gone now."
Xiao Yu also gave the emperor this face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty always loves his ministers."
The envoy from the Southern Kingdom couldn't stand the showdown between the monarch and his ministers. The Minister of the Ministry of War directly said coldly, "Our girl Qiaoyun's bones are still cold. Your Majesty's smile is a little too bright."
The emperor's benevolent smile suddenly froze on his face.
His eyes paused for a moment, then turned to the Marquis of Zhenning and the Minister of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment did not wait for the emperor to speak, and said directly: "Your Majesty, according to all the clues, confessions, and witnesses obtained so far, it can be completely confirmed that Chen Abao was instigated to poison the Princess of Nanguo and Miss Qiaoyun, and framed the blame for the crime on Princess Nanhuai
The person in question is Mrs. Zhenninghou, and the personal maid in front of Mrs. Zhenninghou has been captured and confessed."
Marquis Zhenning turned to look at the Minister of Punishment with a shocked look on his face, "We left the boat together and entered the palace together to meet the saint. I dare to ask Lord Shangshu of the Punishment Department whether it is appropriate to arrest and when the interrogation will take place. You will be distracted.
?”
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment sneered, "The Marquis of Zhenning has a high position, so naturally he doesn't know the hard work of us subordinates. As early as when the Marquis boarded the painting boat, the subordinate officials had already photographed the officials of the Ministry of Punishment taking a small boat to the painting boat.
After knowing the contents of Chen Abao's confession, the official also immediately ordered the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to arrest the person immediately. This was not to arrest the person with both hands, but to be strong with both hands! As expected, there was no delay, otherwise the official would go to the palace to face the saint now and take the
What do you need to explain to Your Majesty?"
After saying that, the Minister of Punishment turned to the emperor and said angrily, "Your Majesty, the murderer is Mrs. Zhenninghou, that's accurate."
emperor:......
Thank you so much!
There is no need to work so hard!
So what if you slack off a little bit!
Taking a deep breath, the emperor felt that he could not breathe out the turbid air.
Not to mention that Marquis Zhenning has too many interests tied to him. He is just the eldest brother of Marquis Zhenning. He is the general who controls the military. The general guards the border. How can he kill his sister in Kyoto?
But if you don't ask about killing, how can you give an explanation to the envoys of the Southern Kingdom?
Choose the lesser of two evils.
The emperor has no choice.
He could only get furious and slapped the table, "How outrageous! You are enjoying the emperor's grace, but you do something worse than a beast. According to the laws of this dynasty, you will be punished for killing someone."
The Minister of War of the Southern Kingdom said: "She is the one who harmed the future princess of our Southern Kingdom. She is the person who betrayed our princess's life. How can she just kill someone and punish her? Your Majesty is too disrespectful to put our Princess Yunshu in the first place."
In my eyes."
The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely and looked at Marquis Zhenning.
The emperor wanted Marquis Zhenning to take the initiative.
But Marquis Zhenning is not stupid. At this time, whoever takes the initiative will face the accountability of General Gu in the future.
Marquis Zhenning's wife Wu Shi was beheaded, but General Gu could not be held accountable.
Meeting the emperor's gaze, the Marquis of Zhenning cried out sadly, "I'm sorry for your majesty's favor and your majesty's trust. I'm guilty, and I deserve death."
He said nothing about Madam Hou's treatment.
The emperor had been holding back his anger all night and was about to explode.
The Marquis of Zhenning could remain silent, but he could not. He had to give an explanation to the Southern envoy.
"The Marquis of Zhenning restrained the family members in the palace, deprived him of the title of Marquis, demoted him to the position of Bo Zhenning, and fined him a salary of three years. He also compensated Princess Nan Guo for her loss of 30,000 taels, compensated Miss Qiaoyun's funeral expenses of 10,000 taels, and family comfort expenses of 30,000 taels.
"
Before the emperor could finish speaking, the Minister of War of the Southern Kingdom said: "Where are the beggars your majesty sent?"
Marquis Zhenning immediately said: "I know that my crime is unpardonable, so I will compensate Princess Yunshu for her mental loss of one hundred thousand taels, her funeral expenses of one hundred thousand taels for Miss Qiaoyun, and her family's consolation expenses of two hundred thousand taels."
A total of four hundred thousand taels.
The Minister of War added, "In cash."
Four hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver are worth much more than four hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
Marquis Zhenning's flesh ached violently.
"Yes, of course it's cash."
The Secretary of the Ministry of War said: "Your wife will be interrogated and beheaded within three days. The body of our girl Qiaoyun will be brought to the scene, so that she can personally watch the murderer being interrogated and beheaded in the spirit of heaven, and her body will be buried under our girl Qiaoyun's coffin.
, carry the coffin for our girl Qiaoyun forever and ever."
Marquis Zhenning's eyes turned red with anger, "Isn't four hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver enough for you to calm down? It's too much to bully others!"
The Minister of War said: "Is this too much to bully? Our girl Qiaoyun is carrying the life of our Princess Yunshu. She could have survived. She has a lot of good life waiting for her.
If it weren't for your snake-hearted wife's evil deeds, how could our Miss Qiaoyun be like this?
Are we going too far?
You are the ones who really go too far.
This is my palace. I want the two dynasties to live in harmony, and I want to turn big things into trivial matters. If we follow the temper of our princess, then I will definitely let the cavalry crush you in Kyoto!"
This threat did not take into account the emperor's presence at all, and it was so heart-wrenching.
The emperor didn't even dare to fart.
Xiao Yu looked at the Marquis of Zhenning and the Emperor with sarcasm in his eyes.
These two men, who bullied the people all over the country to the point where they couldn't even afford to take medicine, were today pointed at their noses and scolded by envoys from other countries until they couldn't hold their heads up or open their mouths. They are really...real men!
