The general went out again at night

Xia Qingshu laughed wantonly and wantonly: "Back to the very beginning, about the old grandson of Zhao Ge. You lured me into a trap by using confessions of wounded people. I really didn't know your schemes at that time, so I swam through the trap for a while. It's a pity that I, Xia Qingshu, can distinguish between black and white. I will neither let the guilty escape, nor let the innocent be wronged. Therefore, I will investigate every crime on Mr. Zhao's body. This investigation is really true. Some unfriendly things were found. My defense against the Zhao family also started from then."

Zhao Yanyuan's face was pale, he underestimated this young warrior.He was careless, no, or it could be said that Xia Qingshu was too smart, every step she took was hidden in the depths, where she couldn't see or find out.

Lost, completely lost.

"Your Majesty, my minister Hong Hewang confirms that what General Xia said is true!" After Xia Qingshu finished speaking, Yin Honghewang of Yingtianfu kowtowed to Emperor Hongsu.

"Chen Zhou Louxing confirmed that what General Xia said is true!" Immediately afterwards, Zhou Louxing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also testified for him.

"Your Majesty, Caomin Zhou Bi can also testify for General Xia. There is no deceit! The day the assassins broke into the governor's mansion, Caomin hid under the bed and heard the words of those traitors clearly. The death row prisoner was originally He Ao of Fuyun Villa." In order to blame Qu Yong, they killed the man first, and then put the dagger into his hand. From the beginning to the end, Qu Yong was innocent."

After the words fell, no one spoke in the hall, and Emperor Hongsu was stunned for a long, long time.There was silence above the Golden Palace, and everyone froze, not daring to move.

"Pa——" Suddenly, a fist hit the table with a loud sound, and everyone present was shocked, and then they all lowered their heads.

"Your Majesty, protect the dragon's body." Deng Li said anxiously.

Emperor Hongsu ignored it, cast his cold eyes on Zhao Yanyuan, and sighed heavily, this sigh was full of complexity: "Old Zhao Ge, it's really a good plan to play me around! Before General Xia refuted , I firmly believe in your words, but the truth is so cruel..."

Zhao Yanyuan knelt down on the ground, tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I hope Your Majesty will be kind to Concubine Zhao because she is pregnant with dragon species!"

"Come here, take the guilty minister Zhao Yanyuan and send him to Dali Temple to be imprisoned!"

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei stepped forward and took Zhao Yanyuan away, leaving only Xia Qingshu and his party on the Golden Palace.Looking at today's big reversal, Zhou Louxing felt extremely refreshed. After fighting with the Zhao family for so many years, he lost more than he won, and today he finally let go of his depression.

Xia Qingshu's mood was the opposite of that of the Zhou family's two. The plan worked, and the person behind the scenes was found out. She wasn't even half happy.If possible, she hopes Hehe Lele, these things have never happened.

"The minister is guilty, and I hope His Majesty will grant the crime."

Xia Qingshu was thinking about something on her mind, when Hong Hewang, who was kneeling beside her, suddenly spoke, followed by a bang of her head, she was at a loss.

"Aiqing eradicated traitors for me, what is the crime?" Emperor Hongsu asked warmly, without any expression on his face.But Deng Li could see clearly that there was still anger hidden in his heart, the fury of thunder.

"I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I hope His Majesty will punish you!" Hong Hewang lamented loudly.

Emperor Hongsu moved his body and changed his sitting position: "How do you say?"

"The Zhao family is insidious. They set up traps for General Xia and lured her into the game step by step. If you fall into the trap, the minister is guilty!"

Seeing Emperor Hongsu's brows move, Deng Li knew that Master Hong had hit the point.Whether it is a trick or a trick, there is only one truth.The bad guys in the truth get caught, and that's a good thing.

But the truth was revealed, Emperor Hongsu was still angry, it could only be because the method of uncovering the truth made him uncomfortable.He felt that he was played around by both sides, like a fool.

He is the Son of Heaven, how can he be regarded as a fool?

"Then why didn't you report this matter to me at that time, the king's law is clear, can't I uphold justice for you?"

Hong Hewang said earnestly: "Your Majesty, you still don't know Zhao Ge's temper. He hides it too deeply. The fabricated confession of Zhao Xuexin's crimes came out of his own mouth. Can this matter have nothing to do with the Zhao family? Yes, As long as the person who sees profit and forgets righteousness receives a lot of benefits, he can keep silent. The assassination of Mr. Zhou's son was carried out by several assassins. Can this matter have nothing to do with the Zhao family? It is also possible, as long as it is given to those assassins. With the "morality" in their hearts, they can go through fire and water for you without hesitation. In the whole plan, the Zhao family can completely clean themselves up. However, the truth of the matter is not like this, every step is their plan , Those people are just pawns who work for the Zhao family. I don't want your Majesty and other ministers to be blinded by this treacherous plot, so I have to do this."

Hong Hewang's words were sincere, all from the heart, but Xia Qingshu knew that he had lied, and the truth was not like this.She herself was the one who made fun of the emperor, and if the emperor wanted to punish him, she should bear it.

Hong Hewang is now shifting all the blame from Xia Qingshu's shoulders to his own, but according to Xia Qingshu's temperament, she is not someone who dares to do it but not to be it.

Xia Qing kowtowed comfortably, raised her head up, and was about to make a sound when suddenly a hand grabbed her sleeve, and then she received Hong Hewang's restraining gaze.

The two knelt down next to each other, and His Majesty was far away, so naturally he couldn't see their movements.

Xia Qingshu nodded, temporarily pressing back what she wanted to say.

After listening to Hong Hewang's words, Emperor Hong Su pondered, Hong Hewang was right, Zhao Yanyuan has gone through three dynasties, like a scheming fox.If it is not used to deal with tricks, I am afraid it will not be caught.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Hongsu sighed again, with a look of exhaustion on his brows: "Let's stop here for today's matter, and leave the rest to Dali Temple for trial. I'm tired and don't want to hear more. As for the three of you Man, Hong Qing, you made your own decisions and even deceived me, which is really a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, but I think that you have done a good job in uncovering the truth, and if your merits and demerits are balanced, then you will not be punished severely, and you will be fined for half a year."

Hong Hewang said gratefully: "Minister, thank Your Majesty Long En!"

"Xia Qingshu." Emperor Hongsu called out.

"The minister is here."

"You abused your power and let the thieves enter the Dudu's mansion, which caused panic in the capital. You should be punished heavily. I think you have done something to help Mr. Hong, and you are also a victim. If the two balance, there will be no punishment."

Xia Qingshu clenched her fists, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Same as General Xia, Zhou Shangshu will not punish him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

"Go away."

"Wei Chen retire!"

With his hands behind his back, Emperor Hongsu went down the stairs, leaving Fengxian Hall and heading towards the harem. The maids and eunuchs in the hall followed behind him one after another, and the group left in a mighty manner.

"Father, the Zhao family is going to collapse!" Zhou Bi excitedly tugged at Zhou Louxing's sleeves, the two of them lowered their voices when they spoke, but the words still fell into Xia Qingshu's ears.

She sneered in her heart, and sighed: These two people think too shallowly, Zhao Jiayi has been in the court for so many years, it is obviously impossible to use this incident to bring them down.

Zhao Yanyuan, who was in the prison of Dali Temple, should have thought about the excuse to exonerate himself and the Zhao family, and should have found a suitable scapegoat.In addition, his granddaughter is favored in the harem and she is pregnant with the dragon seed. As long as she blows the pillow wind in His Majesty's ear from time to time, Mr. Zhao Ge will be released from prison soon.

Except for Zhao Xuexin who will suffer some jail time, everyone in the Zhao Mansion can celebrate the new year happily.

The two of the Zhou family were immersed in the joy of self-conception, and left first with a farewell. Xia Qingshu and Hong Hewang walked slowly outside the hall side by side.

On the square in front of Fengxian Hall, the sun is just right and the sky is vast and blue. It is no different than in this golden hall, where intrigues make people feel cold all over.

Stepping down the stone steps, the two walked into the warm sun.

"I know you have something to ask me, ask me." After walking a certain distance, the two of them reached a remote palace road, Hong Hewang suddenly spoke out with a kind smile on his face.

Xia Qingshu stopped, turned sideways, and asked with a frown: "This whole plan is clearly my idea. Master Hong knows it. The emperor wants to punish me, and I should be punished. Why didn't Master Hong tell the emperor?" Tell me, but you want to take the blame for me instead?"

Hong Hewang's sharp gaze scanned the surroundings, then returned to Xia Qingshu's face, and smiled: "Let's go, talk while walking."

"Okay." Xia Qingshu followed him.

Hong Hewang stroked his long beard, and said slowly: "Fortunately, I know this strategy. Fortunately, only I know."

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Qingshu asked puzzled.

"The previous sentence said that I knew the whole plan before I could say today's matter was my idea. The meaning of the latter sentence is that fortunately, I was the one who relayed the whole plan when I told Mr. Zhou, and he also thought the whole plan Made by me."

After a while, Hong Hewang said again: "It's all in one place. Fortunately, I can bear the blame for you. Do you know what will happen if a person can lead troops to win battles and plan to eliminate traitors?"

"The emperor's fear." Suddenly, Xia Qingshu fully understood.

Hong Hewang's smile deepened: "You are very smart, you know everything. You are a military commander with great military exploits, but you must not show off your intelligence and wisdom in government and opposition politics, otherwise it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion and fear." .Your Majesty will be in danger once you turn your mind to that end..."

Xia Qingshu understood the meaning of Hong Hewang's words, stopped quickly, bowed to Hong Hewang and saluted: "Thank you, Uncle Hong, for saving Qingshu from a catastrophe today, Qingshu is very grateful !"

"Get up." Hong Hewang helped Xia Qingshu up, and said earnestly: "I am also thinking about Dayan, and Dayan's frontier cannot live without you. In the future, you will concentrate on leading troops to fight and defend Dayan's frontier. If you can not interfere, then do not interfere."

"Qingshu knows, Xie Hongshu for pointing it out."
