Jing Qibin was confused. Min Zhisong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Cheng Zhaobing, the Minister of the Ministry of War, were naturally Xiao Yanjun's people. Jie Jiming, the Minister of Rites, had such a tough temper that he could stand with Xiao Zimu. He was already puzzled.
Xu Wanjun, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, who kept himself clean and tidy, actually showed up today. Cui Xuhong was even more exaggerated, shyly asking for help.
Apart from Jing Qibin, who has co-authored the current six films, everyone has chosen his own master
Naturally, Jing Qibin couldn't figure out Cui Xuhong's wishful thinking, and Cui Xuhong didn't intend to take sides. It was just that such a big incident suddenly happened in the morning. Although it was absurd, it had already caused uproar in the city.
Whether Xia Chu could come out of Dali Temple alive this time is a matter of two minds.
In his heart, he was actually hoping that it would be best not to come out and go to hell with his secrets.
But out of fear of Xia Chu's methods, he still tried his best to please and express his position.
If the young marquis really walked out of Dali Temple unscathed, he would probably take good care of him in the future because he supported him at critical moments.
This way, you get the best of both worlds.
If Xia Chu died inside, he would be happy to see it. If he was lucky enough to come out alive, it would not be a bad thing for Cui Xuhong...
Therefore, Cui Xuhong flattered him, and his attitude became more and more sincere.
As for Xu Wanjun, he only cares about Lan Yuying, and Lan Yuying is closely related to Xia Chu. The Marquis also threatened that when the mourning period for Princess Yirou is over, he will take Lan Yuying as his righteousness. Daughter, she married into his Xu family as the legitimate daughter of the Hou family.
At this moment, he naturally couldn't care less about neutrality or not.
In addition, the emperor suddenly sent Eunuch Li to pick up Lan Yuying from the palace last night. At that time, they did not take it seriously and thought that the Marquis had accepted Lan Yuying as his adopted daughter in advance, and the emperor approached the palace to award the reward.
Such a big event happened this morning. Xu Wanjun thought about it and felt uneasy. After finally getting out of the court, he walked to Xiao Zimu and asked.
When he entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Marquis had already gone to the imperial study. Xiao Zimu took the emperor's attitude towards the Marquis and comforted Xu Wanjun, asking him to calm down.
Xiao Zimu tried to persuade Xu Wanjun to calm down, but in his heart he was extremely impatient.
These people don't know it yet, but he knows that before this, Xia Chu has been under house arrest in Ci'an Palace. The crime of poisoning has not been washed away, and now the burning of corpses has been added. Xiao Zimu pinched his eyebrows. , suddenly felt a headache.
He kept comforting himself in his heart. Even if he had to sign the lottery, the master said that there is good luck hidden in danger, and there is still a glimmer of hope...
What does this glimmer of hope mean? Is it the emperor
The emperor had returned to the royal study at this time, and the Marquis was lying on the recliner, holding his waist, and kept humming there.
The emperor glanced at him and said calmly to Eunuch Li: "There is no need to prepare breakfast for the Marquis."
The Marquis got up with a bang. Maybe he felt that he climbed too fast, so he lay down again with a cry of "Ouch", and said to Eunuch Li angrily: "From the time I entered the palace yesterday to now , I have not eaten a grain of rice, and the Emperor does not allow you to prepare breakfast. At this time, you can prepare lunch for me."
Today's morning has been delayed for too long. It's almost the end of the day now. It's lunch, but it's not much different.
Eunuch Li saw that the emperor was silent and did not dare to agree. He just looked at the Marquis in embarrassment.
The Marquis turned to look at the emperor: "I actually stood outside the Qingxin Hall all night. Only those who have been exposed to the cold wind all night know whether the weather is cold or not..."
The emperor sneered: "Did I ask you to stand? I asked you to go back, did you listen?"
The Marquis sighed: "Yeah, why didn't I listen! If I had been obedient and retreated instead of taking an arrow for someone, my old waist wouldn't be able to bear the cold wind now. , ah no, I can’t stand the cold all night..."
"Go down and get ready." The veins in the Emperor's forehead jumped, and he interrupted the Marquis and waved to Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li nodded slightly to the Marquis understandingly, said 'yes' and stepped back.
The Emperor waited until Eunuch Li retreated, then scolded the Marquis: "Do you still want to show off your face?"
The Marquis curled his lips: "My son is about to die, what else do I want?"
When the emperor was mentioned like this, he became angry and snorted coldly: "Do you know about Chu'er going to Hanyang?"
The Marquis blinked his eyes, wondering in his mind that the emperor was deceiving him? Or do you really know
The emperor looked at his innocent face and sneered: "When General Zhao returned to Beijing, the first time he asked me for anything was to plead for a military doctor named Yi Dao. At that time, I was still curious about what kind of People are worthy of Old General Zhao opening this mouth to me, but his expression flickered and avoided talking. Remembering that this was the first time that Old General Zhao had spoken out to plead, I did not embarrass him. Now that I think about it, it makes sense. "
The Marquis' face relaxed: "Your Majesty, aren't you kidding me? It's as if Chu'er really burned his body. If so, I would have to raise his ashes with my own hands, not to mention that my father-in-law would still intercede for him. "
Seeing his confidence, the emperor smiled angrily: "Isn't that right? Send a letter and ask General Zhao."
When the Marquis heard this, his face that had softened just now hardened again, and his voice had a trembling tone: "Really, is it really Chu'er who has a fever?"
The emperor snorted coldly, his expression unquestioning.
The Marquis looked full of disbelief: "How is it possible? That kid Chu'er went all the way to Hanyang just to burn his body? What is he trying to do? Did my father-in-law make a mistake?"
The corners of the emperor's mouth tightened and he lowered his eyelids: "I know exactly what you are trying to do, and you can't show me the face of exterminating relatives out of righteousness."
Of course, Old General Zhao was not just pleading for mercy. He told the story of what the military doctor named Yi Dao did in the Zhao family camp, including his efforts in the battle to defend the city, and the details of why he insisted on burning corpses. the whole story.
At that time, the emperor thought that General Zhao only had sympathy for the Yi Dao, so he made an exception and spoke for him.
Now it seems that Xia Chu is the doctor who can rejuvenate!
It was not until today's morning court meeting that the emperor listened to the accusations relayed by the ministers and connected the whole matter, and finally figured out the whole story.
It wasn't until this moment that it was confirmed that Xia Chu was not only good at medicine, but also extremely good at it.
When the Emperor thought of this, his heart became even more furious, and he slapped the table: "It turns out that he was the one who cured my poison all along, and he even pretended to collude with Lan Yuying, using her name to deceive you!"
