Chapter 18 The general heroine who has been in the cold palace (6)
Wei Ming timed the revelation of this matter very well.
He deliberately waited until the end of the sealing ceremony, and when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he also brought the personal and material evidence of the incident to the capital.
But these alone are not enough.
On the way to the capital, Wei Ming had been thinking: What should he do to make the mastermind behind this incident use blood and get himself and Xiao Changjin cleanly out of here?
?
Not only was this matter going to be a big deal, but it was going to be a big deal, and there had to be pressure from a few highly respected people who the emperor couldn't coerce or induce.
He thought about it and suddenly showed a sad smile——
Your Majesty, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust as a minister! I am not a fool like Xiao Changjin who "If the king wants his minister to die, he must die"!
Therefore, as soon as Wei Ming arrived in the capital, he did not find a place to stay, but went straight to the Taishi Mansion with tears in his eyes.
Although he did not have time to prepare a greeting card, Wei Ming stood outside the mansion for a while and happened to meet Master Chen who was returning to the mansion from the next court.
He raised his head just in time, revealing a face that was full of tears.
Master Chen looked at his tearful eyes and couldn't help but trembled. He stepped forward and asked, "Zizhang, why are you doing this?"
Wei Ming burst into tears, leaned down and bowed deeply, "Student pays homage to the Grand Master!"
"Okay, okay," Master Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go, go in and talk about anything."
When he sat down in the hall, Wei Ming held a cup of tea, with tears welling up in his eyes.
Master Chen was old and couldn't stand his pretentious expression. He rubbed his arms and said, "There are no outsiders here, that's alright. It's disgusting."
Wei Ming looked a little aggrieved: "Teacher..."
"Come on, I still don't know what kind of virtue you have?" Master Chen waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to do, tell me!"
Wei Ming put away his tears and told Taishi Chen everything about Liangzhou.
Master Chen listened, his brows slowly knitting together.
Wei Ming was still defending Mu Xing angrily while drinking tea:
"Although that imperial edict does indeed seem to have come from His Majesty's hand, Your Majesty has always been wise and this matter must not have been His Majesty's original intention!"
"It's all to blame that King Zhenbei only focused on resisting the Huns and never formed any cliques in the court. I don't know who he offended, but he was framed like this..."
"The King of Zhenbei is a loyal minister," Taishi Chen stroked his beard and glared at Wei Ming, "On your side, don't let those mediocre people in the court do stupid things. If you let me know, I will deal with you personally.
"
Wei Ming lowered his head respectfully and said, "Students don't dare."
"Hmm." Master Chen frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Did you bring the imperial edict?"
"I brought it." Wei Ming took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it over, "Teacher, please read it."
Master Chen carefully inspected the seal affixed to the imperial edict, then touched the silk pattern on the back of the edict, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This decree is true.
Master Chen did not speak after he put down the imperial edict. He gently stroked his beard and controlled his expression very well. Wei Ming could not tell what he was thinking.
After thinking for a long time, he said to Wei Ming: "I already know about this, let me think about it again. You can go."
Wei Ming stood up, stuffed the imperial edict back into his sleeve, and said goodbye to Master Chen: "Teacher, I'm leaving."
Master Chen waved his hand absentmindedly at him, "Let's go."
When Wei Ming's figure disappeared from sight, Grand Master Chen sighed worriedly: An imperial edict that has not passed through the Chancellor's desk and cannot be put on paper. What on earth is your Majesty doing...
The next day's court meeting.
After all the ministers paid homage to the emperor and shouted long live the mountain, the head official of the palace shouted: "If you have something to do, please leave the court. If there is nothing to do, please withdraw from the court!"
Master Chen straightened his clothes and was about to stand up.
Wei Ming had already stepped out of the queue first, holding a tooth wat in his hand and loudly said: "I have a script to start this memorial!"
I am planning to expose this matter for you, why did you do it yourself?
Taishi Chen knew that Wei Ming did not want him to be jealous of the emperor, so he was happy and angry at the same time: Brat, if you expose this matter yourself, aren't you afraid that the emperor will hate you and dislike you?
Mu Xing, who was sitting at the top, glanced lazily at Wei Ming and said, "That's right."
Wei Ming then elaborated on what the envoy had done when he came to Liangzhou with the imperial edict.
Mu Xing was a little indifferent at first: Oh, I am here to redress Xiao Changjin's grievances... Xiao Changjin is already dead, and he bothers me with such things to upset me...
Wei Ming calmly changed the topic: "Thanks to your Majesty's great fortune, the fake tiger talisman forged by this person actually showed flaws. I will immediately capture the traitor and put him in prison, so that the loyal minister will not be unjust!"
"How could the Tiger Talisman be fake?" Mu Xing blurted out without thinking: "You want to use this as a pretext to protect Xiao Changjin, don't you?"
All the courtiers: Oh no.
Wei Ming lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but at this moment there was deep doubt in his eyes: He actually admitted it like that? Fortunately, I thought of so many twists and turns, but none of them worked.
What are you waiting for? Just do it!
I'm sorry for the great conditions your Majesty has created for us!
Wei Ming immediately kowtowed heavily and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I will die! I dare to ask Your Majesty why you want to execute King Zhenbei!"
Mu Xing also did this secretly. He originally wanted to wait for Xiao Changjin's head to fall to the ground. Then shouldn't he decide what happened next?
As a result, now that this matter was put on the table so openly, he realized that it was not good——
But His Majesty Wei Ming is still speaking plausibly: "If there is no explanation for this matter, it will probably be difficult for everyone in the world to stop talking about it! I hope your Majesty will understand clearly!"
Grand Master Chen also stood up: "Your Majesty, this matter is really shocking. I would like to ask for help in investigating this matter, and I will definitely clear the name of King Zhenbei."
Mu Xing's eyes were bursting with tears: If the King of Zhenbei is still innocent, what about me? What will happen to my reputation?
Almost all the courtiers in the palace knelt down and said in unison: "I second the proposal."
Mu Xing felt a little exhausted.
He looked dizzily at the rows of kneeling courtiers below, waved his hands and shouted: "Retreat from the court, retreat from the court!"
What a stupid move.
Wei Ming listened to the palace official shouting "Retire the Dynasty" and saying "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor", and thought: This is an emperor who can kill a mainstay general like Zhenbei King as soon as he ascends the throne.
, my mind must be really not very clear...
All in all, this matter went much smoother than Wei Ming imagined.
He Shiran stood up and straightened his sleeves slowly: For such a ridiculous act, even the emperor has to pay a price, right?
