For a time, the city-wide massacre case of the northern Garrison liege lord became more and more confusing.
After the incident, que Yongxiu was immediately taken to the palace by the Imperial Army to meet the Emperor alone.
Not long after, the Emperor gathered all the officials and held a small court meeting in the Imperial study.
Emperor Yuan jing sat behind the desk, the Civil officials on the left, and the noble imperial family on the right. Que Yongxiu was kneeling in front of the table with a blood letter in his hand.
“Dear Ministers, please take a look at this blood letter.” Emperor Yuan jing handed the letter of blood to the old eunuch.
The latter respectfully received it and passed it on to the imperial family, followed by the Civil officials.
High Duke Cao stepped out of the ranks and said indignantly, “Your Majesty,
Zheng xinghuai colluded with the demon barbarians and caused the death of North vanquishing Prince. His crime is unforgivable, and his entire family should be executed.”
The assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites frowned and stepped out of the ranks. High Duke Cao’s words are too arbitrary. Zheng xinghuai colluded with the demon barbarians and killed his entire family? ”
“Who can be sure that Zheng xinghuai’s entire family died in Chuzhou?” a regional King retorted.
Zhao tingfang, the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion, was furious. He said sternly, ‘
“If Zheng xinghuai is in cahoots with the demon barbarians, then what’s with the mysterious expert who killed the North vanquishing Prince? He was the one who said that North vanquishing Prince had massacred the city. The diplomatic corps saw it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears.”
“Who is that mysterious expert?” High Duke Cao sneered. You can ask him to come out and testify for Zheng xinghuai. How can we believe the words of a heretic practitioner of unknown origins?”
The Imperial censor of the right, Liu Hong, was furious. it’s the heretic practitioner that you mentioned who killed the Barbarian leader. High Duke Cao is a yes-man in front of the barbarians, but he’s striking with his fists in the Imperial court. How impressive.”
Without waiting for Duke Cao’s rebuttal, the Imperial censor of the left, Yuan Xiong, jumped out to argue with his political enemy, “”As the saying goes, those who are not of our race must have a different heart. Lord Liu, do not forget your identity.”
“He’s not ot my race, so how can he use the nation-guarding sword?” Liu Hong sneered.
“Enough!”
Suddenly, Emperor Yuan jing slammed the table and his eyes were filled with anger.
When the country-protecting Duke, que Yongxiu, saw this, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried, “‘Your Majesty, please help me, help the North vanquishing Prince, and help the people of Chu Prefecture city.”
Emperor Yuan jing nodded slowly. this case is of great importance. I will naturally investigate it thoroughly. This matter will be jointly judged by the three divisions. High Duke Cao, you must also participate.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at his companion and said, “”Grant High Duke Cao the gold medal and immediately go to the relay station to capture Zheng xinghuai. Those who violate the order will be executed without a report.”
“Yes, Your Majesty is wise,” High Duke Cao said excitedly.
After leaving the palace, Wei Yuan quickly caught up with chief advisor Wang. The two powerful officials did not take the carriage, but walked side by side.
This scene was a beautiful sight in front of everyone. Many years later, it was still a scene worth reminiscing.
“I’ve tried to persuade Zheng xinghuai, but unfortunately, he’s a stubborn one.” Wei Yuan’s voice was gentle and his expression was calm.
