All the officials in the hall bowed down and saluted one after another.
"Your Majesty calm down," they persuaded.
The emperor didn't smash the teacup over the table, and sat back on the dragon chair slumped.
"I'm not angry, I'm sad." He said in tears, with a sad and indignant expression, "I never dreamed that Cheng Guogong is such a person, I believe him, I treat him like this, how can I feel sorry for him? He wants to treat him like this I?"
He reached out to pat himself, and looked at the officials.
"What do you think I can't forgive him?"
"Your Majesty, it's Duke Cheng who is treacherous and evil." An official knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself."
Many people followed suit, and some people had complicated expressions. They didn't want to join but knew that they had nothing else to say at this time, so they had to hang their heads in silence.
Huang Cheng glanced across the hall, remembering those who bowed their heads and said nothing, and finally landed on Ning Yunzhao who bowed his head in front of him.
Ning Yunzhao didn't call out Your Majesty's Holy Spirit like before, and of course it's not the time to say His Majesty's Holy Spirit, but he didn't agree either, he lowered his head and wrote hard with serious concentration.
There is nothing to blame for this as a daily commentator's duty.
Huang Cheng sneered in his heart, why didn't he remember his duties before? Thinking of this, his face darkened a bit.
He didn't expect Duke Cheng to run away against the edict. He thought that Duke Cheng would come to Beijing to make trouble, relying on his merits to incite the people, but he didn't expect him to run away like this.
The biggest mistake this time was to let the imperial army and Dali Temple arrest Cheng Guogong.
These soldiers already had respect for Cheng Guogong, and the forbidden army had been acting for a long time to pretend to be mighty and scare the people every day, which was different from Cheng Guogong and his son who were born and killed on the battlefield.
Jin Yiwei should go and arrest him.
These Jin Yiwei are cold-blooded and ruthless, and they are not afraid of life and death. If the emperor gives the order to die, they will be like a group of mad dogs who will kill Cheng Guogong and his son even if they die.
It turned out that Ning Yunzhao prevented Jin Yiwei from going there and asked Dali Temple to arrest him for this purpose.
Good boy, I knew I had no good intentions.
Huang Cheng looked at Ning Yunzhao fiercely, but so what, there was still no change in the result. Cheng Guogong would die if he came back, and he would die if he ran away.
"Your Majesty." He came out and shouted, "Duke Cheng is clearly rebellious, please don't be merciful, Your Majesty, and immediately order the arrest of the traitor Zhu Shan."
He said kneeling down.
"The Zhushan thief is ashamed of the late emperor, ashamed of his Majesty, and ashamed of me, the world of the Zhou Dynasty. This is the only way to comfort him."
At this point, the officials in the palace could only kneel down and beg in unison, whether they wanted it or not.
The emperor looked at the kneeling civil and military officials, his expression of grief and indignation gradually calmed down, and he sat up straight.
"Yes," he said.
…
The entire court was in a hurry, civil and military officials retreated in a hurry, or walked in silence, or gathered together to discuss in a low voice.
"Lord Ning, we..." Seeing Ning Yunzhao, several officials asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty is wise, all the above shall prevail." Ning Yunzhao replied in a low voice.
What is your intention now? Is it true that Cheng Guogong conspired against him
Just as the few people were about to continue asking questions, Ning Yunzhao raised his hand at them to salute and leave first, and walked quickly in one direction.
Among the officials rushing around, one seemed to be independent from the others, and wherever he went, there was an empty space automatically.
"Lord Lu." Ning Yunzhao saluted politely.
Lu Yunqi stopped and looked at him slightly, without saying a word.
He seldom speaks, especially on his own initiative.
"You took him away, right?" Ning Yunzhao also knew his habits, so he asked directly.
This talk has no beginning or end, not even mentioning the name of the person.
Lu Yunqi withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward without saying a word.
"Lord Lu." Ning Yunzhao followed up and shouted, "It's not right for you to do this..."
Lu Yunqi stopped and turned his head.
"Lord Ning, it's inappropriate for you to do this." He interrupted him with the same words, "What do you think everyone will think when you say she disappeared at this time?"
Cheng Guogong fled against the order, and the charge of treason was convicted. Miss Jun and Cheng Guogong have a close relationship. At this time, Miss Jun is missing, what do you think? Absconding in fear of crime together
Even if they don't think so, Jin Yiwei naturally has a way to make everyone think so, not to mention that the emperor doesn't like Miss Jun at all.
"Is this a threat?" Ning Yunzhao said with a smile.
Many officials are rarely able to laugh when facing him, especially when they can laugh so casually.
Lu Yunqi looked at him.
"Is fried tofu delicious?" He asked suddenly.
Ning Yunzhao was stunned for a moment, fried tofu
"I'm not threatening you." Lu Yunqi turned his eyes away and continued, "I'm just telling you, it's not your turn to worry about it."
He said and moved forward.
Ning Yunzhao looked at his back with a heavy expression.
"Lord Lu." He followed up again and said, "I believe you won't hurt her, but for the person you like, if it can make her happy, wouldn't it be better?"
Lu Yunqi stopped and didn't look back.
"No," he said.
What else can I say, Ning Yunzhao is a little dumbfounded, no wonder Lu Yunqi is difficult to make friends with, firstly because of his identity, secondly because of his temperament, it is really hard for ordinary people to fathom.
Watching Lu Yunqi walk away, several officials on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and were a little curious. Could it be that Ning Yunzhao was asking Lu Yunqi for the emperor's mind
No one in the whole dynasty who knows the emperor's heart best is better than Lu Yunqi.
Master Ning Xiao is really different from Ning Yan, he will never give up on thieves.
They stepped forward to ask questions, but they saw Ning Yunzhao walking away quickly, passing through the officials with complicated expressions and secret thoughts who were talking in low voices, and went straight to the outside.
Such a big thing has happened, so hurry back and discuss it with Ning Yan, then wait for them to discuss it.
But Ning Yunzhao did not go back directly to Ning Yan's home after leaving the palace, but stepped into Jiulingtang.
In Jiulingtang, Chen Qi and shopkeeper Liu sat facing each other with heavy expressions, and when they saw him coming in, they all stood up.
"It's in his hands." Ning Yunzhao said without asking them.
Chen Qi kicked the stool.
"Someone is copying the guy and someone wants to go." He shouted.
"Why?" Shopkeeper Liu glared at him, "Copy the guy and go to Weibei Town Fusi?"
This is not the same as before, they don't have an imperial decree in their hands, and only Beizhen Fusi has been besieging others, besieging Beizhen Fusi, isn't that courting death? They are not Zhu Zan, the son of Duke Cheng.
Moreover, Zhu Zan dared to do this at the beginning because the emperor wanted to win over and become the Duke of the country.
Chen Qi was slumped, and Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a moment.
"It seems that the only way is to announce the news to the public and rely on public opinion..." he said.
"It can't work now." Ning Yunzhao interrupted him, "Cheng Guogong's family was convicted of treason and fled against the order."
What
Chen Qi and Shopkeeper Liu were horrified.
"The news should be made public immediately, and at the same time, the slander against Cheng Guogong will inevitably spread." Ning Yunzhao said.
Naturally, Miss Jun, who had a close relationship with Cheng Guogong, could not escape.
Chen Qi and shopkeeper Liu also understood immediately.
"How could it be so fast." Shopkeeper Liu murmured.
"Then what should we do now?" Chen Qi asked anxiously.
Ning Yunzhao pondered for a moment.
"Do nothing," he said.
do nothing? Miss Jun...
"Fortunately, Miss Jun fell into Lu Yunqi's hands first, not the emperor's." Ning Yunzhao said.
Does it make a difference? Lu Yunqi and the emperor are one, Chen Qi and Shopkeeper Liu frowned slightly.
"I think that someone who has obsessions can at least be regarded as a person." Ning Yunzhao said, looking at the three characters of Jiulingtang hanging in front of the hall, "it is better to be a person than not to be a person."
…
The sound of light footsteps sounded in the room, and the soft light of the night pearl illuminated the figure.
"I'm late." Lu Yunqi said, putting down the food box in his hand with full apologies, and looking at Miss Jun who was sitting by the bed, "Are you hungry? Let's eat now."
Although Miss Jun was not tied to the door panel as before, her hands and feet were still bound tightly.
Lu Yunqi sat down in front of her, scooped out a spoonful of eight treasure soup, and handed it to her mouth seriously and skillfully.
Miss Jun bit the spoon and looked at Lu Yunqi fiercely.
