Zhao Shouzhuo was stunned and lowered his posture: "I wonder what happened?"
Wang Xunshi said coldly: "It was in vain that I worked so hard for you, trying to help you out of trouble, but then I heard about a case... which made me very angry."
Zhao Shouzhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile and said, "I wonder what the case is?"
Wang Xunshi looked at him and said: "Silkworm ceremony."
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Shouzhuo's face suddenly fell. Even though he had done a lot of double-dealing, he still couldn't stand it when it was said to his face.
You must know that it was Tang Shijin who promoted the alliance between Wang Xunshi and Zhao Shouzhuo.
Before this, Zhao Shouzhuo was a supporter of former chief minister Lu Junguang, and didn't take Wang Xunshi seriously.
Wang Xunshi is young, and in his view, he is also timid in doing things. In a place like the cabinet, there is a big difference between a carrot and a pit, a person of his own, and a person whose position is unclear. Therefore, when Wang Xunshi first entered the cabinet, he
At that time, Zhao Shouzhuo also tried to trick him, trying to lure one of his own, a man named Liu.
This is also a case.
What's going on?
A few years ago, when Wan was still a concubine, she had been performing silkworm mulberry ceremonies on behalf of Empress Wu.
Originally, this matter was a matter of the Ministry of Rites and had little to do with the cabinet, but who told that at this time, many married women would have to follow the Wan family to perform silkworm mulberry ceremony?
So Zhao Shouzhuo arranged for a person to follow Wang Xunshi's mother and prepare to assassinate Wan.
It was either a real assassination or an attempt to frame Wang Xunshi.
When she is caught, she will admit that she is from the White Lotus Sect.
The White Lotus Sect has rebelled against anyone who came to power since the Song Dynasty. It can be said to be the most notorious folk sect.
However, in the previous dynasty, a foreigner became the emperor and did not know much about the religion of the Central Plains. He basically ignored it. Therefore, the White Lotus Sect took the opportunity to develop and expand, conduct public activities, and recruit followers...even when the Daqing Dynasty was first established, they even created
It is too anti-religious, so it is the religion that the emperors of Daqing were most afraid of and resented.
Although it has been banned by generations of emperors and has gradually disappeared, it is still deeply disgusted when it is mentioned.
As long as Wang Xun was actually involved in this matter, regardless of whether he knew it or not, he would be despised by the emperor and could not be argued with.
And a few years ago, not now, the Wan family was the only one favored in the harem, and the loss of a hair would make Emperor Yuan Sheng go crazy.
Originally this plan was very vicious, but Wang Xunshi realized it in advance. He kept calm and did not disturb the man, and just changed the clothes of his family.
Such a simple response, but it was won by timing.
After the man noticed it, it was too late to change, and he hurriedly assassinated him. The maid brought by Wang Xunshi's mother risked her life to save her. Emperor Yuan Sheng praised her loyalty and gave Wang Xunshi's mother a rank. Moreover, the woman was killed on the spot.
Killing, only the white lotus embroidered on his clothes showed his identity, and the clothes he wore happened to belong to Mr. Liu's family.
He perfectly avoided the plot and even counterattacked.
Now that Mr. Liu fell and Wang Xunshi stood firm, for Zhao Shouzhuo, of course, this incident was treated as if it never happened, and no one knew that he was actually the one who led it.
I never expected that a few years later, it would be revealed again.
But now, he really didn't dare to offend Wang Xunshi, so he hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Xunshi, this is indeed my fault. I wasn't very familiar with you at that time, and I made some foolish calculations. I hope Xunshi won't take offense."
The brilliant thing about Zhao Shouzhuo is that he did not deny it.
He didn't know how many trump cards Wang Xunshi had, so he didn't dare to deny it.
Wang Xunshi said coldly: "This is not an ordinary plan, this is to kill my whole family! It is really too despicable to attack an elder in the family and a female family member! I am not afraid to tell you, I came here today just because I am angry.
However, I want to ask you, how can you be so cruel when you have no grievance or enmity?"
Zhao Shouzhuo said anxiously: "I really don't dare to admit what Mr. Wang said. I just wanted you to leave the cabinet at that time. I had no intention of harming anyone's life! Mr. Wang entered the cabinet when he was less than forty. For such an outstanding talent, the most I can do is
If I dare to suppress you, I really don’t dare to enmity with you. I say this from the bottom of my heart. Mr. Wang must believe me for once. You and I have been in the cabinet for many years, and I dare not intercede with you.
But you should also know that I am not a vicious person..."
He repeated this for a long time, and Wang Xunshi seemed to believe it, and slowly relaxed his expression.
Zhao Shouzhuo knew that he would have to bleed this time. If he didn't bleed, it wouldn't be surprising if he did anything after leaving this house!
If he lets it go, then he's really doomed.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Master Wang, I owe you this time. After I go out this time, I will definitely remember your kindness..."
So when Wang Xunshi went out again, he had a few more pieces of paper in his arms.
It's not all letters, there are other things as well. This time, if not all of Zhao Shouzhuo's foundation, at least most of it is presented.
He quickly went to Prince Qing's Mansion.
It was late at night, after we went to the main courtyard, Tang Shijin didn't come out, but Yan Baiwei did.
Wang Xunshi hurriedly handed over the things, and Yan Baiwei took them very casually, then took out two letters from the middle and handed the others to him, saying: "Jin'er is not feeling well and has gone to bed, so there is no need to see her.
"
What could Wang Xun really say, he could only salute and say goodbye quickly.
As he walked, he smiled wryly.
He only went to Zhao Mansion these two times, and he didn't need to go there again.
This time, Zhao Shouzhuo was suppressed by the Silkworm Ceremony case, and Zhao Shouzhuo was really bleeding heavily.
When Zhao Shouzhuo took over Lu Junguang's connections, the Zhao party was almost half a dynasty. It was full of branches and tangled branches. If they were to be investigated, there would be a lot of bloodshed. Therefore...His Royal Highness obviously wanted to pursue the case selectively.
Aren't these things Zhao Shouzhuo's evidence of crime brought to his doorstep?
However, what shocked him the most was that Yan Baiwei chose two letters without even looking at them. Apparently, he already knew what was in them before Zhao Shouzhuo gave them to him.
He saw it written by Zhao Shouzhuo with his own eyes.
So, how did they know?
He didn't dare to think deeply.
The remaining people will not know that their leverage has long been in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince, but they will know that he, Wang Xunshi, is no longer Zhao Dang.
Because there is already a commotion outside, and the cases are coming out one after another, which is enough to crucify ten Zhao Shouzhuo, but Zhao Shouzhuo didn't know anything about it in the letter. Obviously Wang Xun didn't tell him, so the matter was obvious.
As a result, the number of people who continue to follow him will be reduced by at least half. It is estimated that many people will choose to join the prince directly, and some people will choose to join the God of Wealth.
The Zhao party was immediately divided.
Don't look at just a few thin pages of paper. Once these few pages are published, the civil and military officials of the court will be unable to sleep for more than half a day.
Wang Xunshi couldn't help but sigh, these two people have tricked someone to death... They really have tricked someone to death!
