Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty Seven [Exploring Teachers and Asking for Sins] (1)
Yu Chichong waited outside Tianfu Palace for half an hour before he was allowed to enter to see him. He walked slowly behind Xue Shengkang, knelt on the ground and said, "The sinner Wei Chichong is here to see your majesty! Long live my emperor!"
Xue Shengkang did not turn around, still facing Yuchichong, and said calmly: "Why did Lao Aiqing enter the palace late at night? Did something important happen?" He did not immediately let the old marshal with outstanding military achievements stand up.
, has expressed his dissatisfaction tactfully.
Yu Chichong said: "I came here because of what happened at the Hongshan Guild Hall."
Xue Shengkang nodded, then slowly turned around, staring at Yuchichong with his sharp eyes like a knife. The king's majesty oppressed Yuchichong and felt his breath was suffocated. Xue Shengkang said coldly: "Do you know your guilt?"
Yuchi Chong said calmly: "I wonder what crime I have committed?"
Xue Shengkang chuckled and took a step towards Yuchi: "The fourth prince of the Black Hu family, Wanyan Chixiong, was killed. Everyone in the Hongshan Guild Hall can prove that this [incorrect] [wrong] thing was done by Huo Shengnan! What the hell are you doing?"
Do you know or not?”
Yuchi said: "I don't know about this!"
Xue Shengkang said: "The murder of Wanyan Chixiong has made a big fuss, and you actually said that you didn't know about it? You just said that you came here because of the Hongshan Guild Hall. Are you old and confused?"
Yu Chichong said: "I know that Wanyan Chixiong was killed, but your majesty said that Huo Shengnan killed Wanyan Chixiong, and I have not heard about it, nor have I seen it with my own eyes." The implication is that seeing is believing, and hearing is false. Although you are the emperor, you are not convinced.
You can't be so irresponsible and blame Wanyan Chixiong's death on Huo Shengnan for no reason.
Xue Shengkang said: "The entire Hongshan Guild Hall can prove it, how can it be wrong?"
Yuchi Chong said: "Heihu people are cunning by nature and will use any means to achieve their goals. Over the years, Shengnan has followed me in the battle in northern Xinjiang and has killed countless Blackhu soldiers. They have already hated Shengnan deeply, and the words of Heihu people are not enough."
In my opinion, the reason why they said this is simply a plan to alienate each other!"
Xue Shengkang nodded and said, "Okay! He is indeed Huo Shengnan's adoptive father, and he really loves and cares for her!"
Yu Chichong said: "I always respect the facts and will never let family ties affect my judgment."
Xue Shengkang said: "Let me ask you. Why is Huo Shengnan not in Dali Temple?"
Yu Chichong said: "Old minister is also very confused. Katsuo should have been at Dali Temple, so why did he leave suddenly? Why was he framed as the real murderer of Wanyan Chixiong? What is the reason for this?" In his heart, actually
I have already understood the reason. It was because the Seventh Prince Xue Daoming said that Concubine Dong Shu's nephew Dong Tian would personally go to Dali Temple to find Huo Shengnan to investigate the affairs of Chen Palace, so Dali Temple would let him go, but in front of Xue Shengkang, he was not allowed to leave.
The truth cannot be told. With Xue Shengkang's ability, he should have already understood these situations. If more people are involved, I am afraid things will become more troublesome. Involving the royal family will only anger the emperor.
Xue Shengkang looked at the fearless Yuchichong, suddenly sighed and said: "Get up!"
Yuchi thanked the emperor and stood up.
Xue Shengkang said: "You should know the consequences of Wanyan Chixiong's murder."
Yu Chichong said respectfully: "Your Majesty should also know that Shengnan has no reason to do such a thing."
Xue Shengkang said: "Dayong and Heihu finally reached this stage of alliance. When Wanyan Chixiong died, all the previous efforts were in vain. How can I not be angry?"
"Things have already happened. Even if the emperor is angry again, it will not help. We need to face the reality as soon as possible and decide on countermeasures." Yu Chichong had guessed the emperor's thoughts at this time. At least for now, he will not do anything excessive to himself.
Action, just as I said to Huo Shengnan just now, Dayong's northern defense line cannot be separated from me, and I cannot deal with the Black Hu people without me. As long as I can still be used, I will be safe for the time being.
Xue Shengkang said: "Tell me what you think."
Yu Chichong said: "I am willing to lead my troops to garrison in northern Xinjiang immediately to ensure that the seven northern cities are safe."
Xue Shengkang sighed and said: "If a war breaks out, it will be a last resort. The killing of Wanyan Chixiong was an accident. I will send envoys to Heihu to explain the details, hoping that the misunderstanding can be explained clearly. Although I am not afraid of war, but the war can be avoided.
waived."
Yuchi rushed: "How do you plan to talk about it, Your Majesty?" Wanyan Chixiong was killed, and the Black Hu people would never give up. Unless Dayong gives extremely generous compensation, this war is inevitable.
Xue Shengkang said: "Hand over the murderer and compensate him!"
Yuchi rushed: "Has Your Majesty determined that Shengnan is the murderer?".
Xue Shengkang didn't speak, but his eyes gave him the best answer.
Yuchichong said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the incident in Qichen Palace, the assassination of Princess Anping of Dakang, and then the incident in Hongshan Guild Hall, and the murder of Wanyan Chixiong, the fourth prince of Black Hu, are there any connection between these things? Why are they all related?
Everything points to Katsuo? Who is making the fuss behind this?"
Xue Shengkang said: "You ask me, and I also want to ask you, why is your goddaughter involved in both incidents?" He took a breath and said again: "Things have happened, and the top priority is to eliminate the crisis.
Rather than finding the answer.”
Yuchi said: "I think these things are directed at me. Your Majesty, why don't you hand me over, so that these things can be completely settled."
Xue Shengkang suddenly felt a little unhappy. Yu Chichong's words were clearly a sign of relying on his old man and taking credit for himself. The old guy had calculated that he would not dare to touch him easily, so he said such words. Xue Shengkang said: "Both things are the same."
It seems that she has something to do with Huo Shengnan, she has already started planning, she is really ambitious!"
Yu Chichong had already expected that Xue Shengkang would probably put all the blame on Huo Shengnan. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. He whispered: "The old minister's teachings are useless, and I beg your majesty to punish him."
Xue Shengkang said: "I believe you will not betray me or harm Dayong, but Huo Shengnan is your adopted daughter after all. It is your fault to raise her as a godfather. If she does such a thing, you also have an unshirkable responsibility.
If I don't punish you, how can you convince everyone?"
Yuchi Chong bowed deeply and said: "Weak ministers are at the discretion of the Emperor!"
King Yan Xue Shengjing suddenly woke up from his sleep. He sat up from the entanglement of the legs of the two concubines beside him. His forehead was covered with cold sweat and his whole body was dripping with sweat. When he looked at the two concubines, they were still sleeping. There was no
Awakened by his actions, Xue Shengjing raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He stood up and wanted to drink water, but found that there was already a white figure in the room, standing there, looking at him motionlessly.
Xue Shengjing trembled for no reason, then quickly calmed down and whispered: "When did you come?"
The man in white glanced at him casually with a pair of deep eyes: "Can a mere Prince Yan's Mansion stop me?".
Xue Shengjing felt a chill in his heart. Fortunately, she was not his enemy. If he were in a hostile position with her, his life would be in danger. He turned around and looked at the bed. Only then did he realize that the two concubines were not sleeping.
It was too heavy and had been tampered with.
The man in white said: "Don't worry, I didn't kill them!"
He whispered: "I have done what you asked me to do."
The man in white nodded and said: "Hu Xiaotian sneaked into the Hongshan Guild Hall to steal the Concentration Pearl. Wanyan Chixiong is already dead!"
"What?" Xue Shengjing asked in shock, clenching his fists tightly because of nervousness.
The man in white said: "Are you scared? Are you worried that someone will find out that you asked Hu Xiaotian to go to the Hongshan Guild Hall to steal the Ice Soul Calm Bead?"
Xue Shengjing shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't know that the Concentration Pearl was in the Hongshan Guild Hall." He seemed to understand something, nodded slowly and said: "So, you deliberately asked me to ask
This condition allowed Hu Xiaotian and others to sneak into the Hongshan Guild Hall and divert the attention of the Black Hu people? Get rid of Wanyan Chixiong and then push the matter onto Hu Xiaotian."
The man in white sneered, "I really can't hide anything from you."
Xue Shengjing said: "If you do this, won't you push me to a place of eternal destruction?" Thinking of the possible consequences of this incident, his clothes were suddenly soaked with cold sweat.
The man in white said calmly: "Hu Xiaotian escaped unscathed. In fact, even if he is caught, there will be no loss for you. You are good at everything, but you are too selfish."
Xue Shengjing was relieved when he heard that Hu Xiaotian escaped unscathed. In fact, the man in white was right. He was just asking for the Bingso Calm Bead and did not let him assassinate him. Even if he was caught, it would have nothing to do with him.
He secretly took a breath of air conditioning, reminded himself to calm down, and said softly: "Once Wanyan Chixiong dies, the alliance between Dayong and Heihu will no longer be possible. Maybe the Heihu people will invade under the guise of launching an army to punish them.
My northern border.
The man in white said: "Are you scared?"
Xue Shengjing let out a long sigh and said: "Things have reached this point, what's the use of being afraid?"
The man in white threw a bag of stuff to him.
Xue Shengjing said in shock: "What?"
"What you need contains some evidence of Dayong's officials colluding with Black Hu."
Xue Shengjing felt happy when he heard this.
The man in white said: "I have already said that you will not suffer any loss if you cooperate with me."
Xue Shengding nodded and said: "Thank you very much!"
The man in white gave him a cold look and said, "Don't forget what you promised me."
The murder of Wanyan Chixiong caused the whole Yongdu City to be in turmoil and everyone was in danger. According to the current situation, all the fingers were pointed at Huo Shengnan. Although the Black Hu people claimed that General Dong Tian was also involved, the Dong family had made it public.
It is stated that Dong Tianjiang never left the Shangshu Mansion last night. Many people in the mansion can testify that they believe that the so-called accusations made by the Black Hu man are completely false. At the same time, the Marshal's Mansion has also made one thing clear. Marshal Yuchi Chong
The Zhentian Bow used was stolen, and it was undoubtedly the bow and arrow used to kill Wanyan Chixiong. Everything proved that Huo Shengnan was inextricably linked to Wanyan Chixiong's death. (To be continued...)
