Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 2031 Wen Tingzhan's Story

The cold wind was blowing, and the snow outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the sound of plum blossoms falling could be heard when it hit the branches, making the hall even more silent, and no one dared to speak.

Emperor Xinghua's sharp eyes swept over Huo Shaojie coldly: "Shaojie, can you hear what King Guang'an said?"

Huo Shaojie stood up, his posture was as straight as a sword, but he kept his head down, and bowed to Emperor Xinghua: "Return to Your Majesty, Shaojie can hear you clearly."

"Do you have something to say for yourself?" Emperor Xinghua didn't look at Huo Shaojie, but at the wrench on his thumb.

"Your Majesty, Shaojie, I have nothing to say." Huo Shaojie also answered unequivocally.

Emperor Xinghua closed his eyes, and moved his fingers feebly: "Lao Jiu, what about you, do you have something to say?"

King Fu'an, who had been silent for a long time and seemed to regard himself as a transparent person, stood up after being called out. His face was expressionless: "Father, my son has no evidence to prove his innocence."

This means that he is innocent, but he has no evidence, that is, he does not recognize King Guang'an's allegations.

"Shaojie." Emperor Xinghua sighed and then suddenly called out.

Huo Shaojie quickly responded: "The minister is here."

"The Huo family has been with His Majesty Taizu since the beginning of the great general. If there is no Huo family, there will be no Xiao family." Emperor Xinghua recalled with a sigh, "I remember your Huo family's contributions, and I also remember your Huo family's contribution The blood of the Xiao family was shed to calm down the troubled times. It started in the chaos of war, retreated in the prosperity, out of the turmoil, and hid itself in the world. Your Huo family is full of loyalty, whether it is the Taizu, or I, or even the courtiers, the people of the world have to admit."

Emperor Xinghua's words made Huo Shaojie's eyes slightly red, and he kept bowing his head, keeping his posture unchanged.

"Today, tell me the truth, what was the truth back then?" Emperor Xinghua basically bit out every word.

After Huo Shaojie left the desk, he quickly walked to the front of the hall. He lifted his robe and knelt down neatly: "Your Majesty's trust in the Huo family cannot be repaid by this minister. If this minister still has half a sentence to cover up and avoid , that is, a hundred deaths cannot atone for sin. Back then..."

No one thought that Huo Shaojie would confide all the truth about that year just because of a few provocative words of Emperor Xinghua. People in the court were shocked when they heard it. They never expected that it was so thrilling back then.The Kou family really took great pains in order to be able to change the dynasty, but this is an ingenious strategy.

If the Kou family succeeds, the Huo family becomes a scapegoat, and the Xiao family has no heirs, how many people will dare to say no to them who are so powerful that they want to establish a new dynasty?What reason do you have to accuse them of being traitors?It is true that the soldiers won the world without seeing the blood.

Now the truth is revealed.

"I am guilty of a crime. I was coerced by the Kou family and photographed by the Kou family's lust. I dare not tell the truth to your majesty. It is my incompetence. To deceive the king is to be disloyal to your majesty. The Huo family will not be punished. Please Your Majesty punishes you." Huo Shaojie bowed deeply.

Ye Yaoguang sighed softly: "It's a pity, the Huo family..."

From the point of view of the Huo family, it was not wrong for them not to trust Emperor Xinghua when what happened that year. If it were anyone else, even Wen Tingzhan would not be able to gamble the emperor's trust with his family's life.But they are already riding a tiger, and if they don’t confess, they can only be coerced. The key is that neither Concubine Yi nor the Huo family have done anything to harm Emperor Xinghua or the court when they were coerced by the Kou family, and they even repeatedly dealt with Emperor Xinghua. It can be said that the Huo family contributed a lot to Emperor Xinghua's elimination of the Kou family.

But this is credit, and Emperor Xinghua has rewarded him for his merits, and the Huo family feels guilty and dare not accept it.But it can't offset their crime of deceiving the emperor. If the Huo family is not severely punished, other people will follow suit in the future, and all of them will be forced to ignore the law and the emperor's prestige.

"Madam thinks the Huo family is a pity?" Wen Tingzhan suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Isn't it a pity?" Ye Yaoguang asked back.

The corners of his lips were as soft as blooming petals, and Wen Tingzhan looked at Emperor Xinghua who was rubbing his forehead on the dragon chair: "Since Madam feels it is a pity, it is natural for my husband not to make Madam feel regretful."

As soon as the words were finished, Wen Tingzhan had already stood up and walked slowly towards the main hall.

When the courtiers didn't dare to show their anger, the slender figure like bamboo moved slowly. He seemed to be covered with a layer of brilliance, attracting everyone's attention, and walked to Huo Shaojie's body calmly and gracefully. Beside him, he bowed to Emperor Xinghua, who had a headache and could even be said to be full of shock and anger in his heart: "Your Majesty, I was ordered to investigate the matter of King Fu'an. I hoped that Your Majesty would wait for a few more days until the evidence is conclusive. Then submit it to His Majesty. However, the matter is urgent now, and I hope His Majesty will listen to the words of the humble minister and make a conclusion."

"Do you have anything different from the words of King Guang'an?" Emperor Xinghua looked at Wen Tingzhan inquisitively. He didn't admit that at this moment, he really liked this young courtier who dared to come forward to solve his problems.

"Just now, His Royal Highness Guang'an played a good show for His Majesty and your lords, and Mr. Huo told another interesting story." Wen Ting's clear and clear voice was like the fragrance of wintersweet wafting in the cold snow outside the house, which made people feel excited. Feeling refreshed, "Weichen just happened to find an old friend for Mr. Wu a few months ago, so we had a little intersection with Mr. Wu. In fact, Mr. Wu has another story, which was just finished, and it was too late to send it to the class leader. The manuscript happened to be in Weichen's hand. Here, Your Majesty, please take a look."

Wen Tingzhan took out a stack of papers in his sleeve. Fu Lu had already stepped forward, took it from Wen Tingzhan's hand, and handed it to Emperor Xinghua. Emperor Xinghua looked through the two papers that were indeed written by Wu Qiyou, Turning to the last page, there is Wu Qiyou's signature: "I think Wen Aiqing has already seen it. Such a thick play, it is better for Wen Aiqing to act as a storyteller. I and Zhu Qing can enjoy it together."

"The minister leads the decree." Wen Tingzhan accepted the order humbly, then stood up straight, and chose a position that neither turned his back to Emperor Xinghua, but also faced the officials, "Mr. Wu took a name for this play— ——"The Gate of Wealth", it tells the story of a slave bullying the master..."

Ye Yaoguang rested his chin on his hands, propped his elbows on the table, and looked at the intertwined lights, like a man standing proudly like a cangshan mountain, like a man with orchids blooming on a cliff, his whole body seemed to be luminous, which was fascinating .

Fuguimen tells the story of an evil slave who wants to seize the master's property by any means. Among them is this evil slave who wants to confuse the evil plot of the master's family and in-laws and children, but he never thought that he made a mistake. When the two wives were about to give birth, his host's wife gave birth to a baby boy, while the in-law's family he wanted to design gave birth to a daughter instead.
