Great Wei scholar

"Minister! Xu Qingxiao, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and may my emperor live long and live long."

Xu Qingxiao's voice was extremely loud.

He stepped into the hall and bowed to the empress.

"Xu Aiqing, excuse me."

When Xu Qingxiao appeared, Manchu Wenwu couldn't help looking at Xu Qingxiao.

Even the Empress couldn't help but cast her gaze on Xu Qingxiao.

Just don't wait for people to think too much.

Prince Huaining spoke.

"His Majesty."

"There is a secret report that Xu Qingxiao, the servant of the household department of the Great Wei Dynasty, is practicing strange arts. He is a member of the devil's way. He has committed heinous crimes. Please learn from your majesty."

"At the same time, Zhang Jing, Minister of Criminal Affairs, refused to accept the case and violated the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty. Please also ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate Zhang Jing, Minister of Criminal Justice, to show the world."

Prince Huaining spoke out, not giving any leeway to the ministers, and at the same time impeached Zhang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Say this.

Zhang Jing's voice also sounded.

"His Majesty!"

"Prince Huaining framed Xu Qingxiao, an official of the Great Wei Dynasty, because of the pain of losing his son. This minister does not accept the case, but this minister believes in Xu Qingxiao."

"If Xu Qingxiao really practiced different arts, I would be willing to be punished in prison."

Zhang Jing stood up directly, he was not afraid of Prince Huaining, and he supported Xu Qingxiao without hesitation.

"ridiculous!"

However, Prince Huaining spoke coldly, and he looked at Zhang Jing.

"If this king really deliberately framed Xu Qingxiao, there are thousands of ways."

"Furthermore, I have a complete dossier in my hands, which is enough to prove that Xu Qingxiao has practiced different arts."

Prince Huaining said.

"Present the dossier."

At this moment, the Empress slowly said that she wanted to review the file.

But a voice suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to Xu Shilang's innocence. I have asked someone to fetch the sky-throwing mirror from Wen Palace. I hope that your majesty will open the sky-throwing mirror for the people of Kyoto to watch."

"Under the hearts of the people, the eyes of the people are like torches. They will not wrong Xu Shilang, nor will they wrong a good person."

It was Sun Jingan's voice.

He walked out from the right side, bowed to the empress, and then made this opinion.

However, when he finished speaking, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help frowning, even Chen Zhengru, Zhou Min, and Chen Xin, who were both great scholars, couldn't help frowning.

The Sky Casting Mirror is a treasure that can be projected to the outside world. Generally speaking, it will only be projected for some extremely grand events.

For example, when the Northern Expedition declares war, or there are some extremely important events, this kind of thing will be used.

What Sun Jingan did was actually to ruin Xu Qingxiao's reputation.

If Xu Qingxiao really practiced different arts and everyone in the world knew about it, then no one would be able to save Xu Qingxiao.

But if Xu Qingxiao hadn't practiced different arts, then some rumors and rumors could be put an end to it.

It's just that now it's obvious that she has some disadvantages to Xu Qingxiao, and Sun Jingan took the initiative to speak up, just to ruin Xu Qingxiao's reputation.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not possible."

"Your Majesty, I do not agree."

"Your Majesty, this matter has not been thoroughly investigated, so using the sky-throwing mirror is a bit too much."

almost the same moment.

Chen Zhengru, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Gu Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Zhou Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, all spoke up and vetoed this plan.

But the next moment, Yan Lei's voice could not help but sound.

"Why not?"

"Didn't he, Xu Qingxiao, always claim to be fair? Since he has no guilt in his heart, why didn't he dare to activate the sky-throwing mirror?"

"The three ministers, are you worried about what you have found out, and you can't explain it to the world?"

Yan Lei's voice sounded.

He walked out from the left side, without looking at Xu Qingxiao, he bowed to the empress while speaking sharply.

"Yan Ru, this matter has not reached this level, please come to cast the sky mirror, I'm afraid it's not very good."

Chen Zhengru spoke out. As the prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty and a great Confucianist in the Wen Palace, he is qualified to refute.

"Not to what extent? Do we have to wait until Xu Qingxiao has become a demon before inviting me?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister feels that what Sun Ru said is true, and what Yan Ru said is also correct. Since you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid?"

Prince Huaining also followed suit.

The attack of the three of them can be described as aggressive.

However, on the dragon chair, the empress gave an answer.

"This matter has not yet had any results, and there is not even a basis for it. The mirror cannot be opened."

The empress spoke, she chose to favor Xu Qingxiao, and she was not allowed to cast the sky mirror.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Prince Huaining spoke up.

His tone was very calm, but there was an inexplicable emotion in this calmness.

He was not negotiating with the empress, but a kind of coercion, because the empress broke the rules.

All of a sudden, the hall was extremely quiet.

However, at this moment, Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded.

"I agree with what Sun Jing'an said."

When Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth, he agreed to open the sky-throwing mirror, but he no longer had any respect for Sun Jing'an.

Call him by his first name.

Sun Jingan frowned, and wanted to reprimand her, but thinking of Xu Qingxiao's end, she didn't say much, because there was no need to waste words on a dying person.

In the main hall, the empress did not agree, but just pondered again.

After a while, the empress spoke.

"Start casting mirror."

Everyone understood that Prince Huaining, Sun Jing'an, including Yan Lei, wanted to eradicate Xu Qingxiao completely.

If they don't agree to their request, I'm afraid the three of them will definitely not let it go.

So, I can only agree.

The next moment, outside the main hall, a mirror shot out a ray of light, shining in the main hall, and soon the light dissipated, and a picture of the court hall appeared in the sky above the Great Wei Capital.

All civil and military officials, except for the empress, can see every move of everyone clearly.

"The mirror has been activated, and the file is here."

The empress spoke, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in her voice.

"Your Majesty, please learn from me."

Prince Huaining presented the dossier.

At that moment, Zhao Wan'er took the file and presented it to the Empress.

The Empress watched.

At the same time, Prince Huaining also spoke.

"Your Majesty, half a year ago, Xu Qingxiao was an ordinary government servant in Ping'an County, Nanyu Prefecture. Because he discovered Wu Yan, a fugitive from Nanyu Prefecture, he was injured by a strange technique, and the cold air entered his body. He could not live beyond twelve hours."

"However, that day, Xu Qingxiao suddenly disappeared and visited Zhao Ping, a doctor in Ping'an County. At noon the next day, Xu Qingxiao suddenly appeared in the Ping'an County archives."

"According to the secret agent of the veteran minister, there happens to be a strange technique in the archives of Ping'an County, called the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, and Xu Qingxiao's cold poison urgently needs this kind of strange technique to save himself."

"Two hours later, the fugitive Wu Yan appeared in the file warehouse of Ping'an County and killed all the guards, but Xu Qingxiao was the only one who let the cold poison out of his body."

"And get into it overnight."

"Master Xu, can you explain to me how you forced out the cold poison and how you got it overnight?"

Prince Huaining told all the details.

Just what he said was enough to change the expressions of everyone present.

The cold poison in the body, he could not survive twelve hours, healed up suddenly, and became a product overnight, this is really only a strange technique that can solve it, otherwise, how to solve it?

However, facing what Prince Huaining said, Xu Qingxiao said calmly.

"My lord."

"In the archives that day, Xu was indeed suffering from a cold poison, and he was indeed in danger. However, Wu Yan appeared and won the strange art. He began to practice in front of the officials."

"Xiaguan couldn't move because of the cold poison, but in the end he mustered up his last strength and hit him, but Xiaguan was a little overwhelmed, and Wu Yan counterattacked."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Wu Yan used different internal strength to penetrate into the lower official's body, which just happened to force out the cold poison, and also happened to allow the lower official to break through the realm of martial arts, so he entered the rank overnight."

This is what Xu Qingxiao said.

Because this set of rhetoric is the most perfect.

Explain other things, but it is easy for people to find out the problem.

"Heh, one of them just happened to force out the cold poison, and the other just happened to break through. Mr. Xu, don't you think this king is a fool?"

Prince Huaining asked.

"My lord doesn't believe it, and Xu can't do anything about it."

Xu Qingxiao was also very calm. Is it possible to get him to plead guilty with just this excuse?

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with what Master Xu said."

"In this case, Your Majesty, the king has brought witnesses, can you announce it to the hall?"

Prince Huaining asked for witnesses.

"Xuan."

Without any hesitation, the empress spoke directly. Since there are witnesses, they must be announced into the hall, especially now that every move is seen and heard by the common people.

If he was hesitant, he would harm Xu Qingxiao and give people a kind of favoritism.

You can't favor Xu Qingxiao now, anyone who helps Xu Qingxiao is actually harming Xu Qingxiao.

"Your Majesty has an order to announce witnesses."

Outside the hall, the eunuch's voice sounded.

About half an hour later.

A figure walked into the hall.

"Caomin, Cheng Lidong, I greet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live my emperor."

It was Cheng Lidong's figure.

He knelt in front of the empress and kowtowed heavily.

However, the empress didn't show any expression, she just looked at Cheng Lidong calmly.

"Your Majesty, this person's name is Cheng Lidong, and he is the head arrester of Nanyu Prefecture. He was ordered by the Lord of Nanyu Prefecture to go to Ping'an County to track down the whereabouts of the fugitive Wu Yan."

"He knows best about this."
