Shi, the chief minister of the Prince of Qin, was arrested.
Zhao Gu had to take this person to report directly to the emperor, because He Chang saw it.
No matter how much you cover up, this is not how you play.
This matter will definitely be brought to the forefront. Since King Qin is the first grader of junior high school, the He family will take the initiative and there will definitely be an attack in the court tomorrow morning.
"What, is it really King Qin?"
Xiao Pingsi was a little surprised when he received the report from Zhao Gu in the royal study.
But it was also within his expectations.
But he felt that King Qin was not so courageous.
"Your Majesty, both the stolen goods and the murder weapon are at the scene. Shi Zhaoli, the chief minister of the Prince of Qin, is already outside the door."
"Does Your Majesty want to personally interrogate it?"
Because he was worried about implicating the prince, Zhao Gu was also afraid that there would be some inside story and he would become an accomplice.
Therefore, the person was not handed over to He Chang or to the Sanfa Si, but was brought directly to the imperial court.
Xiao Pingsi gestured to Wang Feng.
"Here." Wang Feng went out.
Zhao Gu vaguely heard screams coming from outside the door. Not long after, Wang Feng came back rubbing his hands.
The hands were covered with faint blood stains after cleaning.
Zhao Gu was frightened to see it.
"What did Zhao Li say?" Xiao Pingsi asked.
Wang Feng replied: "He admitted that His Highness the King of Qin instigated him and sent Qi Jingchun to embarrass the imperial concubine and her son today."
"I also admitted that I went to silence him."
"Shu Zi! You are so brave!" Xiao Pingsi slammed the table, and from the corner of his eye he saw Zhao Gu was there, so he had to stop his strength to keep the table from breaking.
But I was really angry.
"His Majesty……"
Wang Feng surrendered again.
"Zhao Li refused to admit that Qi Jingchun was killed by himself. He said that someone else wanted to frame the King of Qin."
Hearing this, Zhao Gu was glad that he did not take the person elsewhere, otherwise he would have been suspected of this.
However, in Xiao Ping's ears, he ignored this possibility:
"Since it is certain that King Qin is causing trouble and he wants to silence him, there is no need to say more!"
"Go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to convey the decree and bring the traitor to me!" Xiao Pingsi threw the official documents on the floor.
Poor Wang Feng and Zhao Gu, they had to pick it up slowly. After picking it up, Wang Feng went out to deliver the order.
More than an hour later, King Qin stood in the imperial study room tremblingly.
The Imperial Army was on alert all around, and Mo Yuan was also present in person. He shook his head when he saw this scene.
He knew that this King of Qin was done for.
"You traitor, why don't you admit your guilt!?" Xiao Pingsi slapped the table when he saw King Qin.
King Qin was frightened. He really didn't expect that it would take many years for others to do bad things before they happened, but he would be caught on the spot for doing bad things.
Return the stolen goods and get something back.
Just now outside the imperial study, Zhao Li refused to admit that he was the one who did it. Even the King of Qin found it hard to believe it.
Not to mention His Majesty.
"Father, son and minister..."
Xiao Pingsi was furious: "Shut up! I don't have a traitor like you who is only greedy for small self-interest and doesn't understand the overall situation of the country!"
Xiao Pingsi was rarely so angry as he kept slapping the table.
He couldn't understand this son.
"Forcing the He family to rebel, the country is in turmoil, and the people are in trouble... What benefit does it have to you, Xiao Chen!?"
The King of Qin was horrified: "Father, I just want to cause trouble for the imperial concubine and her son, and I definitely don't dare to have such an idea!"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Gu felt that it was time for him to leave.
If you don't leave or listen too much, you have to leave.
"Your Majesty, I take my leave..." Zhao Gu bowed his hands and retreated.
Mo Yuan glared at him.
Damn it, who will accompany me when you leave?
Zhao Gu didn't care. Seeing that His Majesty didn't say a word, he walked away.
When Mo Yuan saw this, he also followed suit: "Your Majesty, I retire..."
"Back off!" Xiao Pingsi glared.
The corner of his mouth curled up and he smiled helplessly, Mo Yuan had no choice but to come back.
Wang Feng also rolled his eyes at Mo Yuan.
If you leave, who will accompany me?
"Your Majesty, please do not get angry. His Highness, King Qin, may have made a mistake. He will teach you a lesson when the young master comes back." Wang Feng wanted to be a peacemaker.
King Qin looked at him gratefully.
"Young Master?"
Xiao Pingsi said coldly: "That is my prince's young master. How can such a rebellious son be so virtuous and talented that he can get the guidance of the young master!"
"I think he is extremely stubborn and cannot be taught!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Gu, who had just exited, said with a wry smile outside the door.
Xiao Pingsi rolled his eyes and said, "Do you have anything else?"
"Ahem..." Zhao Gu scratched his head, "The Concubine Xian is here..."
Hearing Concubine Xian, Xiao Pingsi's anger was temporarily relieved a little.
He said coldly: "Let Concubine Xian go back to the palace, and she is not allowed to go out without any orders!"
"Well..." Zhao Gu flashed away.
Concubine Xian's cry came from outside the door. It was a melodious cry, which immediately made everyone in the imperial study sigh with emotion.
This crying is also a skill.
Only when you cry makes people feel loved and feel sorry for you can you make people feel soft-hearted.
Xiao Pingsi couldn't hear it today, and said angrily: "The imperial army is deaf? Bring the virtuous concubine back to the palace!"
Mo Yuan said quickly: "I accept the order!"
Then he quickly ran out of the imperial study, and without waiting for His Majesty to stop him, he went out to Ma Liu to organize the imperial army and temporarily took the concubine away.
"So unfaithful..." Wang Feng cursed in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet because he had no reason to escape.
You still have to take risks and say good things.
Because he knows His Majesty too well, he is unwilling to do anything wrong, but this matter requires another step.
"Father... I know I was wrong, but I really didn't instruct Qi Jingchun to do such a great job!" King Qin felt extremely aggrieved.
But unfortunately, apart from swearing and swearing, there is nothing convincing about it.
He was caught red-handed.
Zhao Gu reported that He Chang also saw the Chief of the Qin Palace at the scene, and he had to give an explanation for this matter.
The He family has already given in, but the royal family is deliberately making things difficult. This is not the proper tacit understanding between king and minister.
There is no legitimate loyalty in the world, and the relationship between king and minister is by no means that of master and slave, but rather of testing and forcing each other until they touch each other's bottom line.
Only then can we have a tacit understanding with each other and never touch each other, and then we can have long-term harmony between the king and his ministers.
"hiss……"
Xiao Pingsi took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
Then he looked at King Qin and said indifferently: "You have disappointed me so much. Fortunately, I gave you a chance, but you didn't take advantage of it. You have been so unethical and unruly this time!"
"Father..." King Qin felt bad.
Xiao Pingsi has calmed down, and his tone is gentler, but with a serious tone:
"Like your brother Qi Wang, go back to your fiefdom!"
"Boom——" King Qin fell to the ground decadently, as if he were mourning his heir.
…
Northern Territory.
After several days of hard work, Fang Jue and his party finally arrived in Ganzhou.
Before entering the city, he was stopped at the city gate.
"He's the person in charge of our Xuanjian Department in Ganzhou Pigeon House." Ye Hongyi recognized the man's identity when he saw his uniform.
Everyone didn't know how she recognized him, and they didn't see any difference between this man's clothes and those of ordinary Xuan Jian Si.
It was probably some kind of hidden mark, and no one asked about it.
"Master Ye, there is a letter from the capital for Young Master." The person in charge dropped the letter and left quickly.
Ye Hongyi was surprised: "I thought you were here to find me. Here, here it is."
Fang Jue took the small letter box, took out a small piece of letter paper no longer than his thumb, spread it out, took one look at it, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Young Master Fang... what happened in the capital?" Ye Hongyi asked with interest.
Lu Xin also stretched out his head, very curious.
It's been a month since I left Beijing, and I'm really blinded by what's going on in the capital, so I'm naturally curious.
Fang Jue handed the letter to a few people. This was not a secret, and thought to himself: "Another one went back to the fiefdom."
"What?" After everyone circulated it, they were shocked on the spot.
"King Qin?"
"How is it possible? His Majesty also drove him back to his fiefdom?"
"The land of Qin is more difficult than that of Qi..." Some people sympathized.
"The length of the letter is limited and the reason is not clearly stated. But after all, King Qin is a disciple of the Young Master. How could he be driven away so easily?"
Everyone felt that His Majesty should be concerned about the Young Master's face.
Fang Jue shook his head: "Your Majesty will not target without aim. Naturally, King Qin was caught, and Your Majesty had to do it."
Regarding this emperor, Fang Jue also had a somewhat accurate idea of his temper.
When it comes to making clear decisions about right and wrong, there is also some protection against shortcomings, but once it is made clear, there will be no partiality.
This decision was so decisive that the King of Qin must have sought death and was punished.
"It's only been more than a month, and King Qin has gone so far as to seek death. Why don't you study at home?" Fang Jue felt helpless.
At the beginning, I still put some effort into teaching King Qin, although I only regarded him as a microphone.
King Qin's temperament was indeed not suitable for being a crown prince. Fang Jue had long noticed that, so he drove him away.
"Forget it, leave him alone, let's settle the matter in Suzhou first and enter the city." Fang Jue lightly pinched the sides of the horse's belly and rode into the city.
