Only then did Zhao Jing know what it meant to have control over the political situation. Qi Yunshan did not put the paper on it, but the paper from the imperial court and the civil and martial officials were like snowflakes falling on the emperor's desk one after another. Without exception, they were going to play the role of Monarch, requesting for the Monarch's decree to punish them for their crimes!
What crime? Of course it was Wen Yuye who did not do well.
"A sentence should be put to death. Did they do anything? Or have you used your heart? " Zhao Jing looked at the papers on the Imperial Study table, and casually threw it to Wei Shuge, "Use your heart to kill them, these are our good Courtier s!"
"Your majesty, you're not completely one with the Qi Family either!" Zhao Yuannan said in a low voice as he handed over the two papers, "These two are the papers from Lord Huo Wugou and Lord Lu. Because he was a newly advanced official, he did not hand this paper over to the six divisions. He did not pass through the Prime Minister's Estate or the hands of the Taifu Mansion and instead, he directly arrived in front of the emperor! Your Majesty, Lord Lu is currently in charge of the sixth stage of Ministry Of Rites. "
Zhao Jing reached out to take it, "Is the imperial court still making noise?"
"Yes sir!" Zhao Yuannan nodded his head, "They are still arguing incessantly. After all, the Emperor is still the Emperor, and the Courtier cannot help the Emperor decide to kill someone. Everyone knew what happened to the Four-direction Sect that day, so the origin of this debt was none other than the Imperial Tutor. They said it was noisy, but in truth it was just two empty arguments. They just need to find a legitimate reason to kill the Master Wen! "
Zhao Jing looked at the paper in his hand, and a strange look flashed past his eyes. Closing the paper, Zhao Jing glanced at Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan in front of him, "Heh, if Wen Yuye was so easily killed, then he wouldn't be Wen Yuye! They came all the way from Wenchang County to collect the corpses, and from then on came step by step to today's situation. Did it all depend on luck? "
Wei Shuge laughed, "Which lamp would be so easy to deal with here? If it was just relying on luck, who knows how many years of fortune would be required to resolve it. It's just that your majesty, this time, the Taifu Mansion is controlling you from behind. This is the first time the Master Wen is here, so she has no power or influence.
"Hot blood is useless. Hot blood can only be used in the market. We have to rely on this during critical times!" Zhao Jing pointed to his forehead, "Since Wen Yuye was able to pass Qi Yunshan down to the Hall from the Four-direction Sect, he must have long been prepared. Otherwise, he would have died here before even taking revenge for Wen Yufeng, no one would be willing to accept it."
"Your majesty, what should we do next?" Zhao Yuannan asked.
"Watch your actions. If Wen Yuye can turn the tables around and win, then …" Zhao Jing smiled meaningfully, "The edict Fei Zhen wrote was not in vain."
Zhao Yuannan was startled, "What imperial decree?"
Zhao Jing sucked his lips, got up and walked to the garden, the weather was good today, the warm sunlight fell on his body, it did not feel like a day where someone should kill someone. As she stood with her hands behind her back, Zhao Jing faintly looked in the direction of the palace and thought to herself... What would Dongfang Weiming do? When she thought about the Eastern Bastard, the hand inside her sleeve involuntarily trembled.
It seemed to be a conditioned reflex, as if his fingers had been clenched tightly the day before. Now that he thought about it, the temperature of his palm seemed to be … He was still alive!
Zhao Jing stared at her palm for a while, she suddenly realised that this feeling was not good, as though a strange monster had grown up from her left shoulder, and even the Gu worms in her body had grown up along with it, slowly eroding everything for her.
From his body to his emotions, he had never forgiven anyone!
The matter of questioning was a hot topic. Not all the members of the imperial court were of the same party, and some of the more upright people expressed their disdain for the accusation at this moment. Wen Yuye was just a small official who did not have a reputation, but a small official who had reached the ninth grade yet was able to startle the civil and military officials of the imperial court into wanting him to die, wasn't this making a big fuss over nothing? It was only because of this emperor's decree, but because Qi Yunshan returned yesterday, the emperor was not willing to call for him!
All of them knew that even if they didn't participate, they would still be in the mood to watch the show.
Zhao Jing stood in his original position and waited, watching the sun rise above his head little by little.
When Zhou Zhiji entered, he lowered his head and laughed dryly. Wen Yuye had won.
"Your majesty!" Zhou Zhiji bowed.
Zhao Jing tilted his head and looked at him, "Why didn't the Uncle come over personally? Zhou Zhiji, can you afford to join in on the fun? It's more like it! "
Zhou Zhiji lowered his head and laughed, "Your majesty really knows how to joke, I dare not! It was the Regent that ordered this lowly official to come and tell the emperor. Please rest assured, your majesty, that this sky won't collapse! "
"Then you should go back and tell Uncle that we know this sky won't collapse. After all, Uncle is born with a higher status than us, we can crush him to death first. As for us … "He's not afraid of anything!" Zhao Jing laughed coldly.
Zhou Zhiji bowed, "This lowly one will definitely pass on every word! The Regent also said that if the Emperor is really worried, he can clean up and listen to it. "The emperor has always said that the palace is boring. It's rare for this incident to be as lively as a chicken talking to a duck. Don't miss it, Your Majesty!"
"The liveliness is good!" Zhao Jing took a step forward, "It's just that this lively scene of bringing disaster upon us, it's fine as long as you land on our body! Uncle is used to scheming, you don't even need to include us in this, right? "
"The emperor is joking!" Zhou Zhiji bowed, "This lowly subordinate will take his leave!"
Looking at Zhou Zhiji's leaving figure, Wei Shuge quickly went forward, "Your majesty, do you want to go take a look?"
"This isn't a question of whether or not we should go, don't you hear? Dongfang Weiming personally sent someone to invite us over, and said that we were going to watch a good show. In fact, he wanted us to go over and suppress them, and probably to give them some time to do so! " Zhao Jing slowly walked forward as his underlings quickly followed.
"Your Majesty, is there any problem with this?" With your departure, everyone's eyes will most likely fall on you, your majesty! " Zhao Yuannan was a little hesitant, "If that's the case, does that mean that His Majesty is the target of public criticism?
"Do you think I don't know the crux of this? However, we truly want to know whether or not Wen Yuye has the right to live and how he will resolve this calamity! " Zhao Jing waved his sleeves.
At this moment, the throne room was already in an uproar. It was not really a quarrel, but the general felt that he was making a big fuss out of nothing, and the officials felt that they had to pursue the matter. This was the dignity of the imperial government, and also the order that Four-direction Sect had made with Wen Yuye and the rest, so they should pay the price for what they had done and said.
But behind the scenes? Everyone knew that the reason that Wen Yuye deserved to die wasn't because he couldn't find the case nor could he catch the real culprit, but because he had already summoned the noble tutor to the Four-direction Sect on the very day he returned. That was the most damnable reason.
When the emperor was no longer around, civil and military affairs were like a pot of porridge. This kind of scene had started since the day Zhao Jing ascended the throne, and up till now, Zhao Jing was still just a decoration. Occasionally, he would go up to court but he would only get a wooden block made out of clay. He would then sit on the throne and sleep! As time passed, it didn't matter if the Emperor came or not. The Emperor would ascend to the throne room as soon as he came, and the Emperor would discuss matters in the side hall if he didn't come. There were many palaces in the palace, and all in all, it was just a single sentence from the Imperial Tutor and the Prime Minister!
In the three provinces and six tribes, there was no king pressing down on them, just like scattered sand.
Zhao Jing was waiting in the warm pavilion by the side of the hall. It was extremely cold outside, and cold to the point of even entering the door. Zhao Jing took off his cloak and sat on the warm bed, trembling as he hugged the Fire Cage tightly. "Don't talk, let us listen carefully. "These old guys are really bad from the bottom of their bones. All day long, they either want this to die or they want that to die. They really don't want to watch the show!"
Listen, listen, the quarrelling voice next door, who says the white beard and white hair is useless? When she talked with her waist up, she was even louder than when she was selling candied fruits on the street.
"Your majesty!" Zhao Yuannan ran in from the outside, "The guards have already gone. They went to the Four-direction Sect! "
Zhao Jing raised his brows, "And then?" Going to Four-direction Sect was naturally to invite Nangong Zui. Nangong Zui was currently injured, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he tried to avoid it, since Nangong Zui had a death saving gold plate in his hands, even if Qi Yunshan was angry to the point of wanting to eat someone, it would still be a rock in the latrine.
"He even sent someone to use the Bright Moon House!" Zhao Yuannan looked back at Wei Shuge, his face somewhat tight. "Your majesty, we're going to capture Master Wen!"
"I know!" Zhao Jing chewed on the pastries on the table, "We are waiting to see a good show! Didn't you hear what Dongfang Weiming said just now? He reassured us that he had a plan in mind. Bastard had sharp ears and must have received some news a long time ago.
Wei Shuge scoffed, "Your Majesty is right, we'll just have to wait!"
Wait! Naturally, he had to wait!
Wen Yuye was not at the Bright Moon House, he was sitting in the Four-direction Sect's royal hall. There was no one in the hall, only Nangong Zui drinking, looking at him who was leisurely drinking his tea.
Nangong Zui laughed drunkenly, "Guess if you're still alive? Or die? "
"If I had opened the knife, there would naturally be people who would not be able to survive. However, it might not be me!" Wen Yuye scoffed, "It could also be that the Master Nangong has shouldered this crime for me, for me! What did Master Nangong think? "
"I'm not a Half Immortal, nor am I a foolish person. How can I predict the prophet's path of retreat for you?" Nangong Zui sighed, raised his head and drank a few mouthfuls of wine.
Xun Feng ran over in a hurry, "Master, you're here!"
"What are you so flustered about? Had his wife run off with someone? Or was it the little treasury that was taken care of in succession by someone? " Nangong Zui looked sloppy as he listened to the messy footsteps from not too far away. Seeing the gradually approaching imperial forest army line up in front of the Four-direction Sect's great hall, Nangong Zui turned around and laughed dryly at Wen Yuye, "They are looking for you!"
Wen Yuye laughed, "Since there are so many people here, it shows that this official's status as a 9th grade sesame official is not ordinary!"
"Just laugh it off!" Nangong Zui looked at Qiong Ying who had already stepped onto the stairs, and mocked towards Wen Yuye: There's always a time for you to cry!
Qiong Ying stepped forward, "Master Nangong, Master Wen!"
"Yo, with such a large group of people, are they rushing to my Four-direction Sect to drink?" Nangong Zui looked at Qiong Ying with a smile that was not a smile, "Is this an ant moving house? When did you pick up such a job, Jon? If you weren't good enough to follow Commander Li and be a servant in front of the imperial palace, why would you be here? "
Qiong Ying's face heated up, "Master Nangong is joking, we are in charge of this too! Following the orders to come invite Master Nangong and Master Wen to the palace, there are some things that I have to clarify personally! "
Nangong Zui got up, and patted Qiong Ying's shoulder with the wine gourd. "You make it sound good, as expected of someone who came from the palace! Even though the shiny blade was already on his neck, he still had to tell people not to be afraid. This knife doesn't kill! Who would believe you if you said that? Master Wen, let's go! Whether they are mules or horses, it's time to bring them out for a walk! "
Wen Yuye laughed, it was about time he took a walk! He looked at the road and slightly nodded his head. Everything was ready …
