Chapter 1541 Compromise

However, Wu Zheng's part of the body ordered Fu Weiyi to stop in front of Chengtian Gate and outside the Five Dragon Bridge.

Because further forward, there is the palace city, which is an inner city and cannot be touched by external ministers.

The defenses of the palace city are the emperor's personal army and the Jinyiwei.

They could ignore Wu Zheng's general's order, and the palace city had been closed and bolted between the arrival of Zuoying.

Huang Daozhou put down the general's order that had been holding high in his hand, turned to Liao Zhongping and said, "General Liao, there is a palace city ahead, leading troops to trespass is contrary to the way of being a minister... In this way, Huang and Wang Xiang went in first to meet the saint, and trouble General Liao to wait here for a moment. I wonder what General Liao thought?"

Liao Zhongping looked calm and thought for a while, saying, "Cheng... As Huang Xiang said, Liao was waiting here, limited to one hour... But there is one thing that the two prime ministers should remember, that is, the prince is waiting for letters in the mansion."

Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi looked at each other and agreed.

....

In Wuying Hall, the atmosphere was never depressed and tense.

Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi knelt in front of Zhu Lianbi, who stood with his hands behind his back.

This pose has exceeded the scheming of a fifteen-year-old.

Huang Daozhou choked and tried to persuade: "Your Majesty, the situation is strong... If Your Majesty confronts the King of Wu, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Lianbi turned around suddenly and stared at Huang Daozhou, "Is he going to lead his troops into the Forbidden Garden? I am the emperor, and I am afraid of a minister who has lived in all the worlds and five mountains?"

Huang Daozhou bowed again and said, "The King of Wu has no intention of deceiving the emperor, and he ordered his ministers to come here just to arrest Ma Jixiang involved in the case... Why did Your Majesty make a fuss with the King of Wu for a traitor?"

A traitor?

Zhu Lianbi sneered, who is the traitor?

He stamped his feet and said, "Can I... not even protect a minister?"

Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi could only lie on the ground and said, "I deserve to die if I am guilty of my crime."

But Zhu Lianbi suddenly calmed down and said coldly: "Ma Jixiang has been punished."

Dead?

Huang Daozhou, Wang Yi raised his head in shock and looked at each other. Where is this going?

Zhu Lianbi said leisurely: "Ma Jixiang entered the palace before dawn. He reported to me that the King of Wu was arbitrary and domineering, arrested the prince of the current dynasty, and set up a private prison hall... I naturally disbelief. The King of Wu was loyal to the country and made contributions to the country. How could he do such a big rebellious act? After I scolded Ma Jixiang, I drove him out... Unexpectedly, this villain was a weird person, and then gathered more than a hundred people under his command to break into the Right Xiao Gate with the intention of assassinating me. Fortunately, the imperial guards on duty discovered it in time and shot him to death..."

Huang Daozhou, Wang Yi looked at each other.

More than a hundred people?

Dare to break through the ban?

Isn't this a joke?

Even if Ma Jixiang was kicked in the head by a donkey, he could understand that this was a way out.

Besides, according to Ma Jixiang's temperament, dare to assassinate the emperor?

Huang Daozhou, Wang Yi's face became weird.

Zhu Lianbi didn't look at Huang Daozhou, and Wang Yi glanced at him and said, "The two beloved ministers came at the right time. The corpses of the horse thief and his gangsters were still in the corridor from Wuying Gate to the Right Xiao Gate, just for a testimony... I was a little tired and went back to the palace to rest."

After saying that, Gu Zi left the hall and returned to Qianqing Palace.

....

Huang Daozhou, Wang Yi smiled bitterly.

However, they felt much more at ease.

Because in this way, things will be easier. If Ma Jixiang is executed, the King of Wu will not be able to investigate. If it cannot be investigated, there will be no quarrel with the emperor. As long as the Emperor and King of Wu do not fall apart, everything can be maintained. How great?

Sing, dance, dance.

But Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi were also shocked.

The emperor claimed that Ma Jixiang and his confidants were shot and killed. In other words, just to clear himself and calm the anger of the King of Wu, the emperor paid a lot of money. More than 100 lives were gone in a blink of an eye, and even died, and he had to be charged with the crime of regicide.

This is an important official, and he should implicate his family.

There is no doubt that after today, more than a hundred families will be killed.

Huang Daozhou, Wang Yi turned around silently, left Wuying Hall, and headed towards the corridor.

All mercy is useless, and it is urgent to calm this incident. Otherwise, it would not be the more than a hundred households that died, but tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.

....

"Dead?"

"Dead!"

"Really dead?"

"I'm dead!"

Wu Zheng suddenly burst into laughter. He immediately realized his incompetence and coughed unnaturally, saying, "Your Majesty is really, I just want to ask Ma Jixiang for the case... I never thought, ah... I have implicated so many lives in no way."

Huang Daozhou, Wang Yi lowered his head and rolled his eyes, saying this.

"The prince is kind, so he naturally doesn't want to implicate the innocent... I want to ask the prince for love, but I don't know..."

"Why did Huang Xiang be polite in front of Gu?" Wu Zhengyun rebuked: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"The horse thief and his accomplices have been executed... Can they not implicate their family?"

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Ma Jixiang killed the lord, this is a serious crime. Although his gangsters acted obediently, they were always rebellious... How to forgive me? Could it be that he went to plead for his family for his own sake?"

Huang Daozhou fell silent.

Who doesn’t know that these more than a hundred people died unjustly or in vain?

But who can break this layer of paper?

Once it is broken, Wu Zheng must investigate it to the end, and no one can predict what the consequences will be.

The emperor and the royal family naturally would not wait for death. This is Yingtian Prefecture, not Hangzhou Prefecture. The emperor also controls the Right Camp, the Imperial Guard, and the Jinyiwei in his hands.

Therefore, it can be said that it is in the interests and face of all parties.

It was just a few hundred people who died.

So, even Wang Yi fell silent.

Wu Zheng glanced at Huang Daozhou, Wang Yi sighed in his heart, "There is a long way to go."

"What do you think?" Wu Zheng looked at Liao Zhongping and asked.

Liao Zhongping hesitated for a moment and bowed, "I... listen to the prince."

Rush. Wu Zheng felt whispering in his heart, and then turned to Wu, a miserable, Liu Yuan, "What do you think?"

Liu Yuan took a deep breath and raised his head and said, "As soon as the horse thief dies, this matter will naturally be impossible to investigate... Huang Xiang said that there is a reason for Huang Xiang to pardon more than a hundred traitors' families. Bei Zhi dare not object... However, the horse thief's family must not be forgiven, otherwise Bei Zhi will not be able to explain to the dead brothers' spirit in heaven... Please help the prince!"

Liu Yuan also realized that this matter could not be investigated anymore. It was not because he was very arrogant, but because the price of investigation was unbearable.

Overnight, Ma Jixiang suddenly died in the forbidden area. As long as it is not a fool, he understands the trick. However, if someone dies, there is no evidence to prove the emperor of the dynasty. The consequence is that everyone will accuse Wu Zheng of taking advantage of the situation and trying to force the palace.

If someone with ulterior motives secretly incites, then another civil unrest may begin.

And another civil unrest would not be as easy as Zuoying entering the city this time, and more people would die.

Liu Yuan strongly suppressed his anger. Instead of breaking the death, it is better to wait for the future.
