Prime Minister Wang, who was accidentally bitten back, choked up in his throat and almost spit out blood. He glared at Song Yushi and gritted his teeth and said: "Song Yushi, please don't talk nonsense. Where can I get the evidence? I'm just worried that you are too young.
Because I was eager to express myself, I decided to target someone who has been dead for almost twenty years. I have good intentions, but please don’t treat me like a donkey!”
"Whether that contains donkey liver or pig lungs, I believe that the truth will come to light soon," Song Yushi smiled meaningfully. He put his hands in his sleeves and looked over at Prime Minister Wang.
His expression was really secretive.
Prime Minister Wang's face darkened, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes where the other party couldn't see him.
Xiao Feng, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, watched this scene with cold eyes. When the ministers had finished talking, he said "retreat from the court" and then stood up and left.
After going to court, Song Yushi did not go home directly. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, with his hands in his sleeves and his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting his mind with his eyes closed, with a very leisurely look.
Prime Minister Wang stopped when he was passing by with three officials. Prime Minister Wang smiled at him and said: "Hey, isn't this the Yushi of the Song Dynasty? Now they have gone to court, why don't you go back to accompany your beautiful wife?
What are you doing standing here blowing the cold wind? Could it be that you are waiting for a sweetheart?"
We are all men, and they usually put on airs and look sanctimonious in court, but when they go to court, they will more or less show their "masculine nature", and it is also normal for them to make a few harmless jokes in private.
Common thing.
Therefore, upon hearing Prime Minister Wang's teasing remarks, the other three accompanying officials all started laughing. If there had not been the confrontation in the court just now, the four of them would have been having a good time getting along with each other.
Song Yushi raised his eyelids and glanced at them lightly: "I am waiting for your Majesty's call. If you have nothing to do, please meet earlier."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and put on a cold posture like "I don't want to waste my saliva with you."
Prime Minister Wang hit a soft nail, but he didn't seem angry. He said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then we will not hinder Song Yushi's future. You stand slowly, we will go back first, and say goodbye."
The moment he turned around, Prime Minister Wang's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he was obviously in a very bad mood. The four of them walked a few steps, and Prime Minister Wang suddenly stopped, turned slightly sideways, and saw Xia Xia, who had been following the emperor all year round.
The manager personally walked up to Song Yushi, the two smiled and said a few words, and then walked happily towards the imperial study room.
When the three officials following Prime Minister Wang saw this scene, they couldn't help but look indignant. Some people complained softly: "I am just a little censor, just because he was sent a thankless job by your majesty."
He's doing an errand, and immediately he wants to raise his tail to the sky! Humph, let's see how long he can be proud of?!"
The other two people followed suit, with all kinds of malicious curses and jealousies mixed in between them. Only Prime Minister Wang didn't say anything. His face was hard and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Song Huaicai entered the imperial study, knelt down and saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Xiao Feng motioned for him to get up, and pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit down and have a cup of tea with me."
"In this way, the humble minister has overstepped his bounds." Song Huaicai sat down obediently, took the tea bowl from Eunuch Xia's hand with both hands, and thanked him in a low voice.
Xiao Feng likes to make tea, and he is also very accomplished in the tea ceremony. When Xiao Lezi was here, he often made tea for her to drink. Now that she is gone, he is too lazy to bother with this anymore. He drinks tea on weekdays.
They were all cooked by servants. He picked up the almond cake in front of him and took a bite, swallowing it with the freshly brewed tea. His smile became gentler and kinder, and he asked: "Song Yushi recently investigated the treason case of the Qu family.
How's the check going?"
Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually likes sweets? Song Huaicai was surprised. He gently put down the tea bowl, took out an envelope from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "This is the doubtful point that the minister came to after reviewing the case files of the year. Please take a look at it.
"
Xiao Feng wiped his fingers, reached out to take the envelope, and pulled out the letter paper. There was not much content. He read it quickly, but said: "I want to hear your opinion."
Song Huaicai said calmly: "The biggest reason why Prime Minister Qu was convicted of treason back then was that someone found letters from his home that had an affair with the Yanye royal family in Tianxu. The Ministry of Punishment identified the letters on the letters.
The handwriting was confirmed to be written by Prime Minister Qu, so he presented the letter as evidence to the late emperor. When the late emperor found out, he was very angry and directly convicted Prime Minister Qu. From the time Prime Minister Qu was convicted until Prime Minister Qu was beheaded, this
During this period, no one seriously interrogated Prime Minister Qu. What’s even more subtle is that after the Qu family was convicted, the few letters confirming Prime Minister Qu’s treason charges disappeared. Wei Chen tried to find out who was responsible for the interrogation that year.
The officials involved in this case discovered that these officials had either been transferred to other places for a long time and had not returned for many years, or they had resigned and returned home a few years ago. There were even two officials who died suddenly at home. All of this
It seems like a 'coincidence', but when so many 'coincidences' are added together, it doesn't look like a 'coincidence' anymore."
Xiao Feng asked: "So, do you suspect that someone was deliberately framing Prime Minister Qu back then?"
"Based on what has been discovered so far, it is very possible."
Xiao Feng said: "These are just your personal conjectures. What I need is evidence. Any truth can only be established if it is based on evidence."
Song Huaicai said helplessly: "Weichen has been investigating for a long time, and whenever there is a little clue, it is quickly broken. Weichen suspects that someone is secretly obstructing it."
Xiao Feng smiled slightly and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Since the emperor ascended the throne, his thoughts have become more unpredictable and his temperament has become more and more uncertain. Ministers have become more and more cautious when facing him. At this moment, Song Huai heard what he said and couldn't help but be a little surprised. When did your majesty become so
Is it so easy to talk? Song Huaicai's mind turned around, and he quickly suppressed the surprise. He whispered, "Actually, Wei Chen has a way to try, but it will take some effort..."
"tell me the story."
Song Huaicai said slowly: "Since Weichen cannot be used in Wushuang City, why not change the place? The letter confirming Prime Minister Qu's guilt has disappeared, but the Yanye royal family of Tianxu who communicated with Qu Cheng is still alive. Weichen
What I mean is that instead of just hanging myself in this place, it is better to go to Tianxu Yanye to take a chance, maybe there will be unexpected gains."
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "This plan is feasible, but Tianxu Yanye and our Wushuang Dynasty have always been at odds with each other. You must get the news from them first, and you must be careful. Don't be clever but be misled by your cleverness."
"Wei Chen understands."
Eunuch Xia personally escorted Song Huaicai to the door of the imperial study. Song Huaicai hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but look back at the emperor who was sitting in the imperial study slowly sipping tea, with a confused expression on his face. He thought it was his illusion before.
, but until he finished what he wanted to say, the emperor still acted gentle and gentle, which was far different from his usual deep appearance. Most of what he said to him was mainly approval and approval, and his attitude was incredibly gentle.
Could it be that the emperor suddenly changed his gender? Song Huaicai thought it was impossible, but he couldn't figure out what happened.
Eunuch Xia suddenly asked: "Yushi Song, what's wrong with you?"
Song Huaicai paused for a moment, carefully picked some words that would not offend taboos, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty...is he in a good mood recently?"
Eunuch Xia was slightly surprised and asked instead: "Why do you think so?"
"I always feel that His Majesty seems to be particularly talkative today..."
Hearing this, Eunuch Xia smiled and said: "We slaves cannot speculate on His Majesty's affairs, but for the sake of Song Yushi, the Zajia family can remind you that regardless of His Majesty's mood, you
Just be careful."
It was almost as if he had not said this, but seeing Eunuch Xia's secretive appearance, Song Huaicai could not ask any more questions, so he had to politely say goodbye.
After Song Huaicai had gone far, Eunuch Xia turned around and returned to the imperial study. He saw the emperor still sitting on the chair slowly eating almond cake. The sun shone in from the window, and the emperor's profile was looming in the shadows.
No one can see clearly.
Eunuch Xia couldn't help but sigh secretly. His Majesty never liked sweets before, but now, he seems to be obsessed with eating desserts. The reason is just for the fun of it.
When it was time for lunch, Xiao Feng asked Bihe to tell the names of the dishes that Xiao Lezi liked to eat. He chose more than a dozen dishes from them. Almost every dish tasted mainly spicy, and they were all placed on the table.
There was a table full. He had rarely eaten spicy food in the past, and he wanted to eat so many spicy dishes at once. Eunuch Xia was worried that his spleen and stomach could not bear it, so he hurriedly asked someone to cook some hot and decoction soup and bring it to him.
Xiao Feng picked up a piece of spicy and sour fish with chopsticks. The red fish meat looked very spicy, but he still put it into his mouth without changing his expression.
Eunuch Xia was watching with fear. When he saw his brows slowly furrowed, showing an expression of pain but suppressing the expression, he quickly put a bowl of clear soup in front of him and whispered: "Your Majesty, drink some soup to relieve your pain."
Eliminate the spiciness.”
Xiao Feng drank the soup, ignored Eunuch Xia's dissuasion, and ate all the spicy dishes on the table. He covered his aching abdomen with one hand, and covered his red lips from the spicy food with one hand, and sat at the table.
move.
Bihe was frightened by his appearance and was so anxious that he said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to bed and take a rest first? I will go to the imperial doctor and come and take a look at you..."
"No, no need," Xiao Feng refused his kindness and tried his best to look more natural and calm, but his hoarse voice betrayed his true situation, "I just have to bear with it, since I can have a little fun."
If I can eat it, am I, a big man, no better than a weak woman like her? You all go away and leave me alone."
What does this kind of thing have to do with gender because of personal habits?! Bi He and Eunuch Xia tried to persuade him for a long time, but they couldn't persuade him. Looking at the fine beads of sweat on His Majesty's forehead, they were both anxious and distressed.
.
However, all this is just the beginning. (To be continued)
