Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 719
Prime Minister Xiao said that Xiao Jue's madness was caused by poison. The imperial doctor's order was not sure, but the traveling doctor confirmed that Xiao Jue was frightened and mad because he was poisoned.

At that time, as long as he denied it, Prime Minister Xiao would be deceiving the emperor, but he didn't, which means that what he said before His Majesty was the truth.

Therefore, he said that what Xiao Jue said is the truth, then what Xiao Jue said just now is the whole truth of the case.

The main hall was extremely quiet, you could hear needles falling, and it was overwhelming.

Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Jue's body with a gloomy expression: "Xiao Jue's crimes are heinous and unforgivable, and the heavens cannot tolerate it. How can Xue's family be given justice when he dies like this? Someone, hang Xiao Jue on the At the gate of the city, expose the corpse for ten days, so as to comfort the souls of the dead."

Prime Minister Xiao's face changed drastically: "Your Majesty,"

"Shut up!" Emperor Chu slapped the case angrily, pointing at him with rage in his heart, and said mercilessly, "You still want to play with me and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty? It's hard for you to commit murder and frame a good minister." Escape his crime, stay in the mansion, and wait to be punished."

If Prime Minister Xiao were to fall, the Xiao family would be finished. The ministers of the Xiao family's party knelt down in panic and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, think twice!"

Little did he know that this move was like adding fuel to the flames. The Emperor of Chu asked angrily: "Such an unfaithful and unrighteous person, do you still plead for him? Do you still have a little bit of right and wrong in your heart? Are you so disrespectful?" Distinguish loyalty from traitors, how can I expect you to share my worries and seek the well-being of the people?"

The ministers suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, knelt down on the ground, and said tremblingly: "The ministers are terrified, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chu had always been gentle and benevolent, and it was rare that when he was furious like thunder, the majesty of the emperor was revealed, causing all the officials to tremble with fear.

Prime Minister Xiao kowtowed on his knees and bowed slowly: "Your Majesty obeys the order, thank you for your majesty's kindness."

At this time, Wei Zheng hurriedly entered the hall to plead guilty.

Emperor Chu sat high on the dragon chair, looking at him with cold eyes: "Wei Zheng, I entrusted you with the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace, but you didn't even know that the assassin had sneaked into the palace, and let him, In front of me, killing people in the court hall, how did you do it?"

Wei Zheng leaned over and kowtowed: "The minister is weak in guarding, and he is willing to accept the crime."

Grand Tutor Wei's heart was raised, but at this moment, he didn't dare to intercede for Wei Zheng.

"Under heavy guards, the assassins come and go freely, and the defense in the palace is so negligent. You are indeed guilty. Come here,"

Emperor Chu shouted coldly, Taifu Wei's heart skipped a beat, looked at Rong Jiu, and heard Emperor Chu say coldly: "Wei Zheng's guards are not strong enough, we can't absolve him of the crime, let him be imprisoned."

"Father," Rong Jiu said lightly.

Emperor Chu was interrupted, and he frowned unhappily, with a deep and difficult expression: "Could Xiao Jiu want to intercede for him?"

Rong Jiu's face was as calm as jade, and he spoke slowly: "Commander Wei has failed in his duty, which allowed the assassin to succeed. His crime is unforgivable, and I have no intention of interceding for him, but the assassin may not come from outside the palace. I implore Father, Let him thoroughly investigate this matter and atone for his crimes, after all, he is most familiar with palace defense."

The sentence that the assassin did not come from outside the palace caused a storm of shock in everyone's hearts.

The assassin obviously came for Xiao Jue, intending to kill him and to remove the power of the Wei family in the Imperial Guard.

Emperor Chu naturally thought of this too, and turned his cold eyes to Prime Minister Xiao, and then fell on Wei Zheng again: "I will give you ten days to thoroughly investigate this matter, if you can't find the assassin, I will take you as a questioner."

"The minister leads the decree, thank Your Majesty Long En."

Before retreating from court, Emperor Chu made another decree to rehabilitate Shen Dafu.
