When Gong Zuoxiang looked up and saw Li Qiao, the hatred in his eyes suddenly surged.
"It's all thanks to your Li family for doing this."
He hates it!
Li Qiao naturally understood his mood: "Anyway, Shilin killed someone!"
Ha ha. Gong Zuoxiang got up from the ground, straightened his waist, and his face was scornful: "Originally, as long as Li Cheng bites and doesn't talk about it and suppresses this matter, I will definitely think of a way to solve it, and it won't be like this. , or the same sentence, your Li family are loyal ministers for generations, for the so-called justice, in order to be able to
He made a great contribution in front of the king, and did not hesitate to push my Gong family into a dire situation. In vain, I spent many years in the DPRK and your father in the same spirit, and now you are in trouble, you abandon the car to protect the handsome, this move is really vicious! "
Gritting his teeth.
Li Qiao was very calm and said: "My father and I also persuaded Ah Cheng, I really didn't think he would bring troops to your house to arrest people, but things have already happened, and Shilin also admitted the murder, the only thing he can do now is, Just trying to save Shilin's life."
"No need for your Li family's people, cats, cats and mice to pretend to be compassionate!"
"Gong Zuoxiang, I know..."
"No need to say more, I just want to see the king now." Minister Gong Zuo interrupted him.
Li Qiao said helplessly: "You should know what the king thinks. At this time, it is impossible for him to see you. You should go back first. When you find an opportunity, I will tell the king."
"No! Since the king doesn't want to see me now, I'll wait until he wants to see me."
Li Qiao also had nothing to say.
Finally had to go in.
In the hall, King Hu Yi sat behind the imperial case, his brows furrowed.
"How? Will he go?"
"The minister has already persuaded him, but Minister Gong Zuo must meet the king."
King Hu Yi snorted, and a trace of disappointment flashed on his face: "In the beginning, I saw Gong Shilin's talent and recruited him into the Hanlin Academy as a civil servant, but I didn't expect it! He actually committed murder."
Li Qiao didn't know what to say
And Gong Zuoxiang waited outside the door for a whole night.
The next day, when King Hu Yi came together, he glanced in the opposite direction outside the gate of the palace.
Then he asked Li Qiao, who was guarding him all night, "Has the person still left?"
Li Qiao bowed and replied, "It's still there."
"Hey, the people of the Gong family are really stubborn!"
"Your Majesty, why don't you... let's meet."
Um
King Hu Yi looked at him.
Li Qiao said, "He is the prime minister after all."
After saying this, King Hu Yi's eyes sank.
Estimated in my heart.
After half a sound—
"Pass him in."
I finally saw it.
Li Qiao immediately asked the eunuch in the inner hall to go out and spread the word.
Minister Gong Zuo, who had been waiting outside the palace gate all night, heard that the king was willing to see him, so he hurried in.
King Hu Yi came out of the inner hall with the support of Li Qiao, and sat behind the imperial case.
Gong Zuoxiang immediately knelt down.
lie on the ground.
He put his hands on the ground: "Your Majesty, it was the minister who taught him that he had no way to let Shilin commit such a serious crime. I hope that the king will spare Shilin's life for the sake of the old minister's dedication to the court over the years."
The voice of pleading echoed in the hall.
He also didn't want to beat around the bush.
Click directly into the topic.
King Hu Yi looked better than usual. He looked at Gong Zuo Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up and talk first."
"If the king doesn't agree, the old minister can't afford to kneel."
"You don't need to say such things, you can't threaten me."
"Just beg Your Majesty's mercy."
King Hu Yi was furious: "You know that he committed a capital crime, yet you came to beg me?"
Gong Zuoxiang: "Shilin was well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and he would not even kill a chicken on weekdays. I believe that this time, he must have reasons and difficulties. I beg the king to open up, so that the minister can return in the next hundred years and be able to Someone is going to die."
kowtow!
No one died, it's really pathetic.
Li Qiao watched and sighed again and again.
King Hu Yi straightened his face, coughed twice, and said, "Okay, tell me, what is the reason for his murder? What is the reason?"
"This… "
Unable to speak.
Because Gong Shilin was killed, he didn't want to tell the reason.
"If you can't tell me, how can I help? I am the king of Huyi, and countless pairs of eyes in the world are staring at me! As the saying goes, killing pays for life, if I decree that Shilin will be spared from death, where is the law? Where does the law exist? How will the people view me?"
Questioning loudly!
It's really difficult!
It's not that Minister Gong Zuo is unreasonable, it's just that the current situation does not allow him to think so much.
He cried, "Your Majesty, I only have this one son. If you want me to live with my life, I will do it!"
"Enough." King Hu Yi scolded, "You are an important official of the court, and you know what the law is like! In short, you can do what you want to do."
"No... Your Majesty..." Gong Zuoxiang suddenly turned pale and breathless, with one hand, he tightly clasped the ball of clothes on his chest.
"Come on, take Master Xiang out."
Two eunuchs stepped forward and dragged Gong Zuoxiang from the ground.
He struggled a few times and suddenly vomited blood.
The eunuch was frightened: "Master Xiang?"
Gong Zuoxiang had already fainted.
King Hu Yi immediately supported himself and asked Li Qiao to go to the imperial doctor.
After diagnosis, nothing serious.
Then he sent Prime Minister Gong Zuo back to the mansion.
And after this trouble, King Hu Yi's body also collapsed.
Just as Li Qiao left the inner hall, a eunuch hurried over.
Tie Er said to him: "There is news from the Ministry of Punishment that the third prince brought someone to the prison last night and is going to take Gong Shilin away."
Uh!
That's pretty good.
This is a prison robbery.
He asked, "And then what?"
"Later, for unknown reasons, the people were evacuated again."
"That's good."
"But you want to tell the king about this?"
He immediately stopped: "No! Never let the king know."
If you know, that's fine
The eunuch nodded.
Li Qiao ordered: "I want to take care of the king, I want to go out of the palace."
"Yes!"
Li Qiao hurried out of the palace.
Go home.
At this moment, Marquis Pingyang was sitting in the hall with a heavy expression on his face.
A pair of hands, tightly grasping the handle of the chair.
Looking outside.
Until Li Qiao returned home.
He entered the hall with a worried expression: "Father."
"How's it going?" Marquis Pingyang got up and asked him.
"Your Majesty met Minister Gong Zuo."
"The results of it?"
Li Qiao told everything one by one.
The Marquis of Pingyang fell into contemplation.
He didn't speak for a long time.
Li Qiao was also impatient: "Father, what should I do now?"
The Marquis of Pingyang looked solemn, took a few steps slowly, turned his back to Li Qiao, and said, "Sometimes... you really need to abandon the car to keep the coach."
Abandon the car to protect handsome!
This is the sentence again.
Li Qiao seemed to understand something.
Just not sure.
He asked cautiously: "You mean..."
The Marquis of Pingyang took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and said, "Even the king is unwilling to let go. If we try our best to help, we will cause trouble." "So... we don't care?"
