Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 728 He Won't Be...

"Master Hou, it's time for us to go to court." The servant held an oil-paper umbrella and carefully covered the wind and snow above Zhu Sheng's head. After a while, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Okay." Zhu Sheng answered yes in a daze, and then wandered into the imperial city like a wandering soul.

The horse-drawn carriage could not enter the palace walls, and the accompanying servants could only send him a hundred feet away from the Golden Luan Hall.

He took off his cloak, put on the wat board, braved the snow like goose feathers, and stepped up the hundreds of plain stone steps step by step.

At that time, the emperor had not yet arrived in the palace, and the posture of the courtiers in the palace could be regarded as somewhat relaxed.

Everyone gathered together in twos and threes to gossip, someone glanced casually outside the door from the corner of his eye, saw him coming, and his complexion changed immediately.

Because the gossip turned into whispers all over the hall in an instant, all the ministers looked at him with sarcasm and exploration, Zhu Sheng resisted those gazes and returned to his seat indifferently.

He was so used to this kind of eyes more than 40 years ago that he couldn't get used to it anymore.

"Your Majesty let you out?" Seeing that Zhu Sheng had returned to court, Liao Zhen couldn't help suppressing his voice and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear. Zhu Sheng nodded slightly when he heard this: "Well, yesterday The oral order that came suddenly in the evening asked me to go to court with him this morning."

"I don't know what the specific situation is... By the way, Lao Liao, how is the situation between the DPRK and China?"

"I stay in the mansion all day, so the information I hear may not be accurate."

"It's very bad." Liao Zhen lowered his eyes, "I don't know which fat person in the court sold you out—either Liu Wen or Hu Yun."

"—Anyway, His Majesty already knows that you ordered Zuoqian Capital Censor to bribe Liu Wen, encouraged Hu Yun, and co-operated with Dali Temple Minister to coerce Jiang Zhe."

"Besides, there has been no news from Chengxu's side, and His Majesty is about to turn the big fraud case back then." Liao Zhen frowned.

"Fortunately, Chao Ling is dead, and Chen Feizhang was silenced by us long ago. They probably don't have strong evidence at hand... He can't convict you just by relying on those physical evidence that he doesn't know where to get and whose authenticity is unclear."

"After all, the physical evidence can be said to have been deliberately forged by others. Regarding the matter of the Uncle Jingyang's Mansion, you can also argue that you were deceived by a villain and thought you were helping justice. That's why you were confused for a moment and committed a wrong thing."

"In this way, even if His Majesty wants to punish, he can't punish too harshly." Liao Zhen said, curling his lips and snorting lightly, "He always has to worry about the stability of the court, and the dignity of your family and you, the elders of the dynasty. "

"But the troublesome thing is... Chengxu hasn't sent a letter back yet."

"If Chao Ling really told his wife and children about us back then, His Majesty would have thought of this again and sent someone to take the troublesome pair back to Beijing, and let them be witnesses..."

"Then Zhu, you really have to fall this time." Liao Zhen's lips tightened after he finished speaking. To be honest, Zhu Sheng is a very useful knife, and it is also a very good shield.

——So, regardless of his friendship with Zhu Sheng for many years, he didn't want this old guy to be removed by His Majesty.

"What? It's been so many days, Chengxu hasn't contacted you yet?" Zhu Sheng frowned suddenly after hearing this, and he couldn't help showing a little surprise in his eyes. He seemed to suddenly understand that the previous anxiety came from Where is it.

It's Chengxu, why hasn't his precious grandson returned any news yet!
"I thought he hadn't delivered a letter home for so long because he thought it was too troublesome for the Hou Mansion to be guarded by the imperial army, so I contacted you first!"

"Come on, let alone Chengxu's letter, I didn't even catch the shadows of the guards who followed him." Liao Zhen sighed, "I was really tired of waiting the day before yesterday, so I sent someone to Jiangnan to look for it." he……"

"This person should be on the way. If the speed is fast, he should be able to send some letters back tomorrow."

"It will have to wait until tomorrow!" Zhu Sheng was in a hurry, and he almost roared out of excitement.

Several civil officials standing behind the two couldn't help but glanced at them with very surprised eyes. Zhu Sheng hastily pressed himself and lowered his voice again: "Old Liao, then you say that Cheng Xu..."

"He didn't encounter some accident, did he?"

"It shouldn't be, Lao Zhu, don't worry." Liao Zhen shook his head, comforting his brother-in-law in a gentle voice, "Then Chao Ling's wife is a delicate rich girl who doesn't know martial arts; although his mother-in-law's family is a squire, But how many talented people can there be in the small towns in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Chengxu brought so many guards and invited many masters of the rivers and lakes to go with him, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Plus, there haven't been any natural disasters over there recently... He is such a big man, he can't ride a horse, and he was accidentally thrown to death by the horse, right?"

"Furthermore, this is about to go up to court. If you get anxious, you will definitely show your flaws in front of His Majesty later." Liao Zhen said earnestly, "I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome then."

"So, don't be in a hurry right now, take it easy—maybe Chengxu was just delayed by other things on the road, and was stumbled for a while, so he didn't have time to write to us!"

"But no matter how urgent he is, he won't even have time to deliver a letter home—" Zhu Sheng clenched his fists. He was about to say a few more words to Liao Zhen when he heard the old eunuch's voice from outside the hall. Roll call sound.

"The ministers welcome Your Majesty—" He hurriedly shut up, lowered his body, lowered his brows and eyes, and saluted the emperor together with all the ministers.

"Shangchao—start playing if there is something to do, leave court if there is nothing to do—" After Emperor Yunjing sat on the throne, Yu Deyong raised his hand and shook the dust in his palm, and sternly shouted at Shangchao.

All the ministers heard this, but no one dared to step forward. Mo Jingyao looked down at the people in the court, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and let out a chuckle.

"It seems that all the lovers can't think of anything important to tell me at this moment." The emperor lit the faucet on the chair, and the smile in his eyes was faintly cold, "So, let's listen to what I have to say for a while. "

"Zhu Qing——" Emperor Yun Jing called softly, and Zhu Sheng hurriedly responded, "The old minister is here."

"I heard a while ago that someone said that you were the one who instigated Sunying, the censor of Zuoqian, in the background," the emperor said slowly, leaning on the armrest, "Let him make a statement and sue Jingyang Bo Zhan Shirong for bullying the emperor." Inadvertently, intending to rebel'."

"Also, Hu Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was instigated by your people from the Marquis Mansion, taught him to fan the flames of the Bo Mansion from the sidelines and make trouble."

"At the same time, you also bribed Liu Wen, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and together with Dali Temple Minister, coerced Jiang Zhe, the young minister of Dali Temple, and asked him to follow Liu Wen to give false testimony for the events of the past..."

"Zhu Qing, what do you think about this?" Emperor Yunjing said, his originally lazy eyes suddenly sharpened.
