"Xiao family...Xiao family..."
The next day, in a secret underground passage room, Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli gently touched the rim of the porcelain cup in his hand, his eyes blurred, as if he was recalling something.
And this memory made him feel heartbroken.
I don't know how much time passed, but a man walked out of the stone room, disturbing Zhao Yuanli's heart-wrenching memories.
"Your Majesty, he is here." The man knocked on the ground and said.
Zhao Yuanli nodded and looked at the entrance of the stone chamber. After a moment, a thin figure appeared there.
I saw this man stroking the stone wall and murmuring: "I really miss you... By setting the location of the conversation here, do you want me to be grateful to His Highness King Yi for his support back then?"
Zhao Yuanli ignored the visitor's teasing and asked in a low voice with a bit of resentment: "It's really you..."
A strange smile appeared on the visitor's face, and he said lightly: "How many years have it been since we last met, Your Highness King Yi?"
Zhao Yuanli was indifferent when he heard this, and the anger on his face became more and more intense. He asked coldly: "Why did you kill the current Minister of Justice?!"
A cold glint flashed in the visitor's eyes, and he said with a hint of sullenness: "What can I do? He found it!"
Zhao Yuanli was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low tone: "So, you also killed Wang Ling, Ma Qi, Su Li and others?"
The visitor calmed down, glanced at Zhao Yuanli with a half-smile, nodded and said, "Yes, it's me."
Zhao Yuanli rubbed his forehead as if tired, sighed and asked: "Why?... You know, those people are just..."
"It was just the 'sword' in Hunjun's hand back then?" The visitor interrupted Zhao Yuanli's words and completed the second half of the sentence for him.
Immediately, he chuckled and said: "How many people have died now? How many people did that faint king slaughter back then?" At this point, he glanced at Zhao Yuanli and asked with a half-smile: "Now that things have happened, His Highness King Yi has softened his heart?
"
"..." Zhao Yuanli was silent for a moment, and then said coldly: "I'm not soft-hearted, but I can't bear to see you killing innocent people indiscriminately."
The thin figure smacked his lips, shrugged and said: "Zhou Yan was just an accident... It's all his own fault. Why are he staring at Wang Ling's case? If he was willing to close the case as soon as possible, he wouldn't have lost his life.
…”
"What about 'those people'?" Zhao Yuanli asked in a low tone: "Those officials you used to cover up Wang Ling, Ma Qi, Su Li and others...those people are innocent!"
"So I didn't cut them off, right? I left a trace of blood for those people..."
Zhao Yuanli glared at the thin figure. After a long time, he exhaled and said coldly: "The people from the 'west' are coming soon. I don't want to hear any news about you anymore..."
The thin figure licked his lips when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, His Highness King Yi, how can I destroy your plan, Your Highness King Yi?... Well, it just so happens that I will disappear for a while, and a certain young solemn
Your Highness, you have been keeping a close eye on me recently..."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanli's face suddenly darkened, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and he said coldly: "What do you want to do?... I'm warning you, if you dare to touch a hair of his..."
"How could I possibly harm His Highness King Yi's godson, who he regards as a child?" the thin figure said quickly.
"Really?" Zhao Yuanli sneered twice, reached out and uncovered a piece of black cloth on the table next to the seat, revealing a gold brick that was a foot long, and said coldly: "Fifty thousand taels of gold can buy the life of my nephew.
You are so generous."
The thin figure narrowed his eyes, licked his lips and said: "His Royal Highness King Yi's connections are really not easy... Well, to be honest, I do think that boy is too annoying, so I just warned him.
If you really want to get rid of him, His Highness King Yi won’t think that this is the only way I can do it, right?”
"Humph!" Zhao Yuanli snorted coldly, the murderous intent in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
Seeing this, the thin figure raised his hands and said quickly as if begging for mercy: "Okay, okay, this is my fault. Wherever that little guy appears in the future, I will stay away. Is that okay?"
"really?"
"Hey!" The thin figure curled his lips and smiled, shook his head and said: "You underestimate your nephew too much. Even for me, it's not that easy to want that little guy now... Shangshui Qingya, this
The expansion speed of this guy makes us deeply afraid. By the way, is that little guy really not your biological son?"
"..." Zhao Yuanli looked gloomy and said nothing.
Seeing this, the thin figure may have felt a little bored, shrugged and said: "Okay, I know, in short, I will stay away, even if the little guy is tracing what happened back then... Hey, in fact, I
I'm still looking forward to it,
With King Su's intelligence and status, he might be able to find out what happened back then. How about I help him? I really want to see what happened to that foolish king when his most respected son learned about his scandal back then.
What will it look like?"
"..." Zhao Yuanli stared at the other person, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually faded, and he said coldly: "Go away, remember your words, and don't interfere in my affairs."
"His Royal Highness King Yi's purpose is the same as mine, how can I stop him? My people will disappear... Then I wish His Highness King Yi success." The thin figure cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"After this is accomplished, I will do my best to help His Highness King Yi become the new king of our Wei Dynasty."
"Do you think I care about that seat?" Zhao Yuanli sneered.
The thin figure shrugged, then cupped his hands towards Zhao Yuanli, and then stepped back.
But when he was about to disappear into the corridor outside the secret room, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhao Yuanli, and said sincerely: "Brother Zhao Liu, it is 'her' blessing to have an admirer like you..."
"
There were a few ripples in Zhao Yuanli's eyes, and he said in a complicated tone: "You don't have to say such things to provoke me... The matter has come to this, and I will not back down."
"This is not to provoke you, but to come from the bottom of my heart." The thin figure stared at the thin figure and said faintly: "You have done a lot for her silently. If you let 'her' choose again, I believe she will choose you.
…”
After that, the thin figure disappeared into the secret passage outside the secret room.
"..." Zhao Yuanli remained silent, picked up the tea cup on the table next to him, and caressed the perfect porcelain cup carelessly.
Immediately, a slightly bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"How is it possible, 'she' has never paid attention to me..."
He murmured to himself.
At the same time, in Chui Gong Hall, three secretaries of state, including Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, and Feng Yu, were bidding farewell to Emperor Wei one after another, preparing to leave the palace and return to their residences.
After these ministers left, Emperor Wei let out a breath, leaned tiredly on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and rested.
Seeing this, the eunuch Tong Xian came closer and called in a low voice: "Your Majesty."
"Tell me." Wei Tianzi closed his eyes and said calmly.
Seeing this, the great eunuch Tong Xian lowered his voice and reported respectfully: "Since His Highness Prince Su and Prince Yi went to the Ministry of Civil Service yesterday, today, Zongwei Gao Kuo, Zhongzhao and He Miao who are beside His Highness Prince Su,
Zhu Gui and others began to inquire about the "Second Year of Hongde" everywhere in the city, and Shangshui Qingya also took corresponding actions..."
"That bad boy, are you still investigating Zhou Yan's case?" Emperor Wei asked casually.
"Yes." Tong Xian lowered his head and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Su probably respects Zhou Shangshu as a person and is on good terms with him, so he is unwilling to give up easily..." At this point, he glanced at Emperor Wei
With a look on his face, he continued: "I am worried, if I let His Highness Prince Su continue to investigate, maybe..."
Emperor Wei was silent for a moment after hearing this, but he did not get angry. Instead, he said in a tired tone: "You also know the temper of that bad boy. Even if I take action, I can't make him change his mind... You stare at
That’ll be fine.”
"Yes." Tong Xian lowered his head.
At this time, Emperor Wei seemed to have thought of something, and frowned and asked: "Have you still not found the official registration lists of Wang Ling, Ma Qi, Su Li and others?"
"Yes, Your Majesty... I suspect that I fell into the hands of 'those people'."
"That's fine." Emperor Wei nodded and said in an incomprehensible tone: "Even if Hongrun is smart and hasn't found the official register of Wang Ling and others, I'm afraid he won't be able to confirm anything... The Gongwei Division has been exposed, there is no need to
I'm hiding it, taking advantage of Zhou Yan's case, let them appear in the government and the public, and make it public... I don't want to hear anything I don't want to hear, and I don't want Hongrun to find out anything, you understand
What?"
Tong Xian bowed and said pointedly: "Tomorrow, I will ask the Gongwei Department to take over the case of Zhou Yan, the Minister of Punishment."
"Hmm." Emperor Wei nodded, and then said calmly: "In the hometown of Wang Ling and others, there are also their registers, which may contain their official history. You can send someone to erase them."
"Old slave, I understand." Tong Xian bowed.
In the evening of that day, Zongwei Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao and others returned to Prince Su's Mansion and told Zhao Hongrun the results of their inquiries that day.
"Your Highness, according to the inquiring results of the humble officials and others, there was indeed a riot in Daliang in the second year of Hongde. However, because the imperial court blocked the news, the people have no way of knowing what it was. They only know that the matter involved a wide range of things.
Many people in the city were executed..."
"Who are the people who were executed?" Zhao Hongrun asked with a frown.
After hearing this, all the sect guards who were responsible for inquiring about the news shook their heads: "We don't know this either. Among the people in the market, we only know that those people are 'treasonous people seeking to rebel against the country.'"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and asked in astonishment: "The names of the mastermind, accomplices, and remaining party members were not found?"
The Zongwei just shook their heads.
At this time, Zongwei Zhou Pu said: "In addition, I went to ask Mr. Cao Zhi according to His Highness's instructions, but the old man just refused to know... I suspected that Mr. Cao probably knew about it, but for some reason, he refused.
It’s just a disclosure.”
"How can I check this..."
Even Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but fall into confusion without a clue.
