Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 800 Assassination
Zhao Chen's head suddenly grew bigger. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't bear it. The plan to hit Wang Xiu well and completely seize power was still a failure. He was really unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

Sometimes, the emperor can't act according to his will. This is the political atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, the era when literati were in power.

However, he had to speak, otherwise he would be even more passive, so he had to smile wryly: "It turned out that there would be such a misunderstanding, I really didn't expect it."

Zhang Qiyuan almost closed his eyes, he understood that Zhao Chen was defending him, but he wasn't grateful at all.Everything is based on the balance of interests. If he fails, he will bear the blow of Wang Xiu like a storm. Zhao Chen's protection is so ridiculous. It is conceivable that Zhao Guan's family may not be able to protect themselves. What can be used to protect him?
He didn't know what kind of suppression and revenge it would be, but he knew that Wang Xiu would never let him go, just like he would never let her go.

Qin Hui glanced at Zhang Qiyuan, knew that it was time, Wang Xiu was about to win the final victory, and said decisively: "Your Majesty, Wang Xianggong was framed by someone. This matter is not simple, and should be thoroughly investigated."

Facing Qin Hui's attack, Zhao Chen couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know what to do, this guy was too good at seizing the opportunity.

"What does Mr. Xiang mean?" Zhu Lian turned to Wang Xiu. She was very worried that Wang Xiu would go crazy and completely break the father-son relationship that cannot be made public.

For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on Wang Xiu. The prime minister could decide a shocking storm with a single thought, but Wang Xiu had other plans.

A carriage took Zhao Fujin away, leaving behind a gray-faced Cai Wei and a pale-faced Zhang Qiyuan.

Wang Xiu had already arrived at the Donghua Gate. Accompanied by Tang Ge, Li Gang and Qin Hui, he walked out of the Donghua Gate and came to the scholars. Under the concerned eyes of everyone, he said calmly: "Thank you, everyone. It's all right, please disperse, so as not to disturb the empress and the officials."

Seeing Wang Xiu's calm face, Ye Mengde seemed a little downcast, full of exhaustion, and couldn't help saying: "Wen Shi is tired."

At this time, Zhong Lirui also rushed over, and stood watching not far away. A servant had already announced to everyone that Wang Xiu was wronged by others, which caused this unnecessary turmoil, and everyone should disperse quickly, so as not to alarm the officials. Home.

However, the remaining scholars are all admirers of Wang Xiu, no matter how bad they are, they still believe in Wang Xiu as a human being, so how could they be moved by mere sacred edicts.It's really outrageous, if you say you are wronged, you are wronged!After making such a big commotion, Wang Xiu came out exhausted, without even having a real mastermind, how can people feel at ease?

They still gathered to support Wang Xiu, and wanted the court to give a clear explanation that the murderer must not stay overnight, which would be full of countless changes.

"Wang Xianggong was wronged, we want to see the real murderer be punished."

"Yes! Seeing that Wang Xianggong was wronged, who is the real culprit who framed Wang Xianggong, and I ask the officials to punish the real culprit."

"Wang Xianggong is the pillar of the country, and we must not allow those villains to frame him. If the court does not punish him, I will never go back."

"This thief framed the important officials of the two governments and slandered the royal family. He must not be lightly forgiven."

"If the thieves are not eliminated, the family and the country will be uneasy."

"The imperial court does not undertake murderers, and we will never retreat."

Facing the angry scholars, even Li Gang couldn't do anything. He and Tang Ge looked at each other, and couldn't help but wry smiles. How similar it was back then!The only difference is that the students are very rational, and the citizens are not too noisy, but if it is not handled properly, no one can say whether there will be riots or not.

"Wen Shi, it's not good for students to occupy the gate of the palace. There are tens of thousands of people outside. It's not a joke." Tang Ge had to persuade Wang Xiu that tens of thousands of people is not a joke. He had experienced it back then. , Even eunuchs were disemboweled dozens of people.

Wang Xiu's attitude is very gentle, but she has a feeling of refusal to be thousands of miles away, she just said calmly: "My lord, I am really tired, I want to go back and rest first."

Tang Ge looked embarrassed. Wang Xiu had already said that everyone should disperse. As a wronged person who had just escaped from the predicament, people did not demand that the perpetrators be held accountable. This was already a request to the court that could not be too much.

Li Gang was very dissatisfied with Wang Xiu's attitude, but he could also understand that Zhang Qiyuan was almost fooled, so he would not let go of such a good opportunity to fight back.This is definitely the first step of Wang Xiu's counterattack, using the gathering of scholars to put pressure on the court.

Ye Mengde looked at Wang Xiu playfully, and said with a slight smile, "Alright, Wen Shi will go back to rest first, and the old man will let the students go back too."

"Thank you." Wang Xiu ignored the eyes of Tang Ge, Li Gang and others. He almost walked through the square outside Donghuamen, and Feng Yuan and Xu Zhong consciously followed.

Not to mention those scholars, even the citizens gave way to Wang Xiu one after another. They bowed to Wang Xiu one after another.

"Wang Xianggong can figure it out, the little old man bows to Xianggong."

"You don't need to be polite, I can't bear it." Wang Xiu hastily helped the old man up, with an absolutely sincere demeanor without any affectation.

"If the real culprit is not captured, I will never leave, and I must seek justice for my husband."

"My husband was wronged, we can't just let it go."

"Everyone, please disperse. My lord has been tired all day and has to go back home to rest." Xu Zhong was very polite, but his attitude was very firm, so he let Wang Xiu get away from the crowd.

Feng Yuan led several officials over to form a protection around Wang Xiu to avoid accidents. This is also for the sake of caution. After all, there are too many people, who can guarantee that no accidents will happen.

"Fourth brother, you're making a big deal out of a molehill." Seeing Feng Yuan's nervous face, Wang Xiu didn't take it seriously.

"Sir, there is nothing wrong with being careful." Feng Yuan replied lightly.

Wang Xiu shook his head and smiled wryly. He knew that Feng Yuan did the right thing. There is nothing wrong with being cautious anytime and anywhere in public.

On the square street outside Donghuamen, this is the place where the ministers stand up and down, and they can't get off their horses at the palace gate.

Wang Xiu just got on the horse, but he felt a very bad feeling, it should be said that it was a dangerous feeling. He quickly swept around, and suddenly saw the window of the small building across the street folded, and a figure swayed by.

He clearly saw a person holding a strong crossbow aimed at him, and in a blink of an eye, the crossbow shot directly at him like lightning.

"Lord be careful."

"gentlemen."

Following Xu Zhong and Feng Yuan's exclamation, people were also terrified. A strong crossbow and a hard bow are completely different things. The accuracy of the crossbow is extremely high and the rate of fire is astonishing. Once it is shot, it is very difficult to escape.

Time is almost at a standstill!
