Chapter 458 (1/2)
The night passed, the sun opened the night, and a new day began.
The shop keeper looks out carefully through the crack of the door. The street is very calm. Can we open the shop?
The sky is getting brighter and brighter.
Finally, a store opened.
With the first one, there is a second.
More and more stores open their doors to welcome guests from all directions.
People in Beijing also took to the streets.
No matter how much trouble there is in the palace, the day will continue.
Noisy market, let people forget yesterday's blood, into the daily life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.
In the palace, however, it was just the beginning.
After a night's recuperation, the son of heaven looks much better.
The emperor did not rush to summon the courtiers, but took the lead in summoning Pei Meng.
Pei Meng took off his armor and put on his long robe and sleeves. He took care of his whole body in a neat way, and restored the appearance of his family.
The emperor looked at him with gentle eyes, ”sit and talk.”
Thank you
Pei Meng sat down on the round stool, upright and serious.
”Why didn't your father return to Beijing?”
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he wanted to make a proposition.
Pei Meng had been prepared, ”my father is afraid that after returning to Beijing, his majesty will be hard to do.”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, ”your father still has a saying as always. He is afraid that I will keep him in the capital and refuse to let him go back to the northwest. ”
Pei Meng low head, ”my father's idea, micro minister is not clear.”
The emperor said, ”it seems that Marquis Lu is going to take root in the northwest. I will not die, and he will not return to the capital.”
”I'm afraid. Please forgive me!”
Pei Meng bowed down to plead guilty.
The emperor waved his hand, ”don't be nervous. I'll talk casually. Since he refuses to return to Beijing, when you leave the capital, he will return to the Northwest with a will. ”
”I will obey your orders!” Pei Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that your majesty is not going to investigate this matter. Fortunately!
The emperor asked again, ”how many men and horses have you brought back to the capital this time? Where are they stationed? ”
Pei Meng bowed down and said, ”reply to your majesty, Wei Chen has taken 2000 people and stationed in Jingxi camp, guarding a group of people in Jingxi camp by the way.”
The emperor nodded, ”very good! Go down. ”
Pei Meng is a little surprised. Have you finished your questions so soon?
But that's good.
He was also reluctant to stay in the palace.
”I'll leave you!”
Pei Meng left and the palace was quiet again.
The emperor closed his eyes for a moment, then beckoned Chen Dachang to his side, ”is the interrogation finished?”
”Half of the trial, the remaining half is still under interrogation.” Chen Dachang bowed and said.
The emperor said, ”let me have a look at the imperial edict.”
Chen Dachang jumped in his heart and bowed to say yes.
Soon, he took a bright yellow imperial edict and put it in the hands of the emperor.
When the imperial edict was unfolded, it was the imperial edict forged by Xue Guifei's mother and son, which clearly stated that the throne should be passed on to the king of Zhao.
”The son of heaven coldly smile, in the eye has thunderstorm flicker,” Xue Shi Zhao
”Princess Xue refused to say anything but to die.”
”Dead? Too cheap for her! Tell her that if you don't, I will cut off the other arm of King Zhao. ”
Chen Dachang was shocked and still bowed to say yes.
The emperor said, ”I want to know the name list of all the people involved in the rebellion. Xue's management in the palace for so many years must have many party members. These people have to be uprooted. It's better to kill wrong than to let go. ”
”Yes, old slave!”
The emperor threw the false imperial edict and said, ”burn it!”
Xiaohuangmen brought a brazier, and the Emperor himself threw the false imperial edict into it. The flame burst into flames and soon burned the edict made of silk and silk.
The flame was gradually extinguished, and only ashes remained in the false imperial edict.
I'm afraid it hasn't been burned thoroughly, so Chen Dachang inspected it himself. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked xiaohuangmen to carry down the fire pot.
”I heard that Liu Zhao cut down the king of Zhao yesterday for the sake of Gu Jiu?”
”Exactly Chen Dachang said truthfully.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. ”So, Liu Zhao didn't come to my front to ask for peace. Did he save Gu Jiu?”
”Your Majesty is right. People are talking about it, saying that the prince's imperial edict is stronger than his wife's
”What a fool!” The son of heaven is a rebuke.
Chen Dachang did not dare to talk nonsense.
The emperor snorted coldly, venting his dissatisfaction, ”since he has sent someone to rescue Gu Jiu, why does he still have to go in person. Isn't it important here? ”
Chen Dachang hesitated for a moment and then said, ”I heard that the situation was extremely dangerous yesterday. The thief tied up his wife and wanted to jump into the inner city river with her. At the critical moment, it was the young master who ordered him to come and save his wife. ”The emperor said, ”is Gu Jiu OK. Have you caught the thief? ”
Chen Dachang said honestly, ”Madam Zhao is OK, but her spirit is not very good. As for the thief, the young master ordered people to search along the inner city river all night. He was stunned to see whether he was alive or dead. He even took people outside the city to search, but there was no trace of the thief. ”
”I'm afraid I've already run away.” After a pause, the emperor asked, ”did you find out who tied Gu Jiu? What is the purpose? Is it to hold down Liu Zhao? ”
Chen Dachang said: ”Xue Guifei refused to disclose a word. Other people did not know about the imperial concubine by asking three questions. They could not explain clearly about the imperial concubine. The old slave looked at it. The imperial concubine was bound, not necessarily by Princess Xue. Maybe someone is fishing in troubled waters. Xue Guifei will play a trick and join hands temporarily. As for the purpose of kidnapping Madame Zhao, perhaps it is to contain the prince Zhao. ”
