Chapter 3176 The Beginning and End of Killing Chu【9】
Mrs. Chu did not mean to take credit, but said: "I made a promise to the victims without authorization. This is a serious crime of overstepping my authority. I also ask Sir Xu to say a few kind words to His Majesty, and please don't blame me."
Xu Chongfeng was frightened to death and said hurriedly: "Don't dare, the old lady said something serious... The situation was critical at that time, and you did that to stabilize them."
"But I have made my own decision after all. I still have to plead guilty." After Mrs. Chu finished speaking, she told Xu Chongfeng: "Those suffering masters may have hidden tricks, so we need to send someone to keep an eye on them."
Xu Chongfeng has been in Dali Temple for many years and is not an idiot. He said hurriedly: "Mrs. Chu, don't worry, in addition to Lu Baihu, there are a group of people watching them in the dark. If there is really something elaborate, they will definitely find out!"
"That's good." Mrs. Chu said: "I will go back to the villa first. If Your Majesty needs it, I am willing to participate in the imperial court meeting at the Imperial City Gate to support the Wei Dynasty... I am not afraid of knowing the truth, I can bear it."
"Old Madam Gao Yi, I will convey your words to Your Majesty!" Xu Chongfeng was overjoyed. Madam Chu came forward to support His Majesty, which not only broke the enemy's plot to alienate, but also made the Chu and Wei courtiers unite as one.
Mrs. Chu looked at Xu Chongfeng's smiling face and thought of this man's path to promotion, and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Xu is a blessed man."
In the past ten years, many capable ministers have died, but Xu Chongfeng not only survived, but also rose to the top. Not only was his family safe during this catastrophe, but the father and son also made great contributions... The luck was so good that it makes people jealous.
Xu Chongfeng also felt that he was very lucky, but he was afraid of death and did not dare to complain. He said humbly: "No matter what, the official is just a mediocre person. He only got a little luck from the Qin and Gu families by chance."
This is the truth.
But he had to continue to cling on and not drift away... The capital was dangerous, so he had to stay down, otherwise he might not be able to retire and return to his hometown before he could live.
Mrs. Chu laughed when she heard this: "That is also Mr. Xu's luck."
Dang, Dang, Dang!
"The Qingma King's Ministry officially submitted the document of surrender to His Majesty. The Qingma King's Ministry presented to David thousands of war horses, tens of thousands of catties of grain, grass, and medicinal materials, thousands of soldiers and veterinarians, and Zi Che Xingli, the son of the Qingma King, who surrendered to the Mushan camp and rebelled. General Qu is coming to the capital with the soldiers of Mushan to serve the King!"
"I would rather collaborate with the enemy and treason. Your Majesty has arrested hundreds of Dongqing agents. He will convene a grand meeting at the Imperial City Gate as soon as possible to give an explanation to the people of the world. Everyone can go to the Imperial City Gate to listen!"
Zhang Yan's men and horses shouted all the way out of the city to inform the people of the capital.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chu finally felt relieved and stopped lingering. Under the escort of Liu He, she returned to the Chu Family Villa.
Xu Chongfeng hurried to the Imperial City to meet Wei Xiao... There were far fewer victims burning paper money at the entrance of the Imperial City Avenue. After they heard that Xinlang had rescued survivors, they went back to dig up the ruins with the last glimmer of hope.
Xu Chongfeng soon met Wei Xiao and reported what was going on outside.
Wei Xiao was very satisfied after hearing this: "Well done, the court will remember your father and son's merits. Get up, there is no need to kneel."
Xu Chongfeng was afraid of Wei Xiao's death. When he saw him, his legs became weak and he couldn't get up at all: "... His majesty is so powerful that the humble ministers are so impressed by it that they dare not get up."
Please, let me kneel!
Wei Xiao frowned... What's wrong with Xu Chongfeng?
Forget it, whatever he wants.
Wei Xiao looked at Ji Yuanhong, who was covered in blood: "You have been executed twice, and there is only one chance left. If you persist, there will be no more Ji family blood in the world, and even Bao Fukang will die."
Ji Yuanhong was a tough nut to crack. He never let go. He had already been executed twice and lost one arm.
But the power was not with him, and the sufferers outside failed to cause trouble, causing him to lose an arm in vain. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally relented: "I know I was wrong. Please show mercy to me and give me another chance. "
Gu Jinan sneered when he heard this: "If it had been like this, it would have been over, and I had to find fault."
Bang, Gu Jinan threw a white booklet in front of Ji Yuanhong: "Who are the accomplices in killing Chu? Where are their hiding places? Write it down within an hour. If you delay another quarter of an hour, you can go to the underworld."
Gu Jinan!
Ji Yuanhong was extremely angry.
But Gu Jinan smiled contemptuously and said: "Your Ji family is defeated by the Chu family, David, and Ning Thief. What can you be arrogant about? It seems that we are too kind to you and should have killed you long ago. As for the truth... … We can use the existing evidence to come up with a truth.”
Ji Yuanhong: "You actually want to commit fraud!"
Gu Jinan smiled: "What does it mean to be deceitful? Didn't you, Ning Ji, Dong Qing, and the Rong thieves plot to seize the Chu and Wei Kingdom? If so, why did we resort to deception? It's just that we failed to clarify the whole truth and give it to history. I just have some regrets. But so what? How many historical books throughout the ages are true? The ancients could do it, why can’t today’s people imitate it?”
Ji Yuanhong was stunned when he heard this and looked at Wei Xiao: "Your Majesty, such traitorous ministers..."
He stopped just after saying a few words... Now that Gu Jinan is powerful, he is no match for him, but he has planted the hidden danger that Gu Jinan is a traitor.
Ji Yuanhong: "I am too stubborn and have caused trouble for Your Majesty and Mr. Gu. I will stop making trouble and write down the hiding place of the descendant of the murderer of Chu."
What a sinister villain, he deliberately promoted Gu Jinan and put him and Wei Xiao in "respect" together, using this to drive a wedge between the Wei and Gu families.
After all, Gu Jinan is the grandson of the Feng Dynasty. With Wei Xiao's stingy temper, seeing such an outstanding Gu Jinan will definitely lead to jealousy over time, and he will eventually get rid of it.
Unfortunately, he took it too much for granted.
After experiencing this calamity, if Wei Xiao is still unable to tolerate others, then he is not worthy of being the emperor, or even worthy of living.
"Your Majesty, these are the confessions of Sun Shu and Liu Shu." Wei Changling went to interrogate these two people, but they only knew that Ning Ji wanted to usurp the throne and did not know the truth about killing Chu.
After Wei Xiao read the confession, he was very dissatisfied and asked: "Is there anyone in that batch of witch soldiers who can confess?"
King Lao Tuogu must be involved in killing Chu.
Wei Changling shook his head: "I have used the new smelly medicine three times and vomited two witch soldiers to death, but they still refuse to use it."
The perseverance of the soldiers, especially the witch army, was extremely strong, and it was almost impossible to pry open their mouths.
"Bullshit, one day, the people of Chu and Wei will definitely destroy them!" Wei Xiao cursed angrily, and back then, the old King Tuo Gude who had seen the strength of the Chu army also scolded them in the same way.
The strong army harmed Chu.
Strong Chu will also make it difficult for soldiers and thieves to sleep and eat well.
Wei Xiao: "Continue the interrogation. There is also the steward left in the harem by Ning Zei. He should know a lot of things. Use capital punishment and interrogate him!"
"Yes." Wei Changling took the order and left.
After Mr. Feng was cleansed and rested, he was able to speak. He said: "Your Majesty, the date for the imperial court meeting at the Imperial City Gate has been set... The earlier the better, if it is too late, even if our truth is 80% true, it will be revealed. People question it.”
Wei Xiao only said that he would hold a grand meeting at the Imperial City Gate for the people to hear the truth, but he did not announce the time for a long time.
"Your Majesty, you should be decisive at this time, otherwise when the state capitals outside the capital learn of the news, rumors will spread, and the thieves in the state capitals will take the opportunity to cause chaos for their own selfish interests."
There are evil thieves everywhere. These people don't want to be emperors, but they are experts at taking advantage of opportunities to cause chaos and make money. You have to be on guard!
Wei Xiao thought for a moment and finally said: "Tomorrow afternoon."
