Chapter 35: Behind the Scenes (Part 1)
Chapter 35: The mastermind behind the scenes (Part 1)
Han Fei immediately struggled to get up and stared at Liu Yingzhu. Tears were faintly hidden in his old eyes. His whole body trembled and said, "You, are you really the daughter of Lord Liu? Heaven has eyes, and finally there are still people in the Liu family living. I, Han Fei, can still keep my eyes closed even if I die."
"Damn." I suddenly felt angry, kicked him and said hatefully: "Do you regret it now? Why didn't you regret it when you killed Liu Zhe's entire family?"
Han Fei was kicked to the ground by me, but he didn't moan, but just murmured: "Retribution, it's really retribution."
"Yingzhu, you can do whatever he does." Such a villain who regrets what he does when he dies, how could Liu Zhe believe in this subordinate so much?
Liu Yingzhu nipped her teeth and took the knife from Bai Shixing's hand. Step by step, she walked towards Han Fei who was lying on the ground.
At this time, Han Fei was already in a semi-dementia state. He had no mood that a normal person should have. He cried and laughed. He shouted Liu Zhe, you deserve to die, and then said annoyedly, Lord Liu, Han Fei is sorry for you.
Liu Yingzhu held the knife and couldn't get through for a long time. She stomped her feet hard again, leaned on my shoulder, and kept sobbing, "Your Majesty, why is this happening? I can't get through."
Han Fei looked so pitiful at this time. He was less than fifty years old, but now he was like an old man in his twilight age, constantly talking nonsense, like an old madman.
"Yingzhu, if you can't do it, forget it." I said lightly: "He has received the best retribution now. This dark and wet prison is his last burial place. Now that he killed him, he will be freed and he will be given a discount."
Liu Yingzhu cried sadly and murmured: "Father, you can rest in peace even under the fountain. The two evil men are now retribution."
I knew that if she was allowed to stay here, it would make her feel uncomfortable. So I led her out of this small stone house and sent two personal guards to protect her to the prison guard's rest room beside her waiting for me.
And I asked the head Bai Lao to take me directly to the place where Yang Juzheng was detained. When I arrived at the stone house of Yang Juzheng, I said in a low voice: "Shixing, Ouyang Mi, you are waiting for me outside, no one is allowed to enter."
"I obey the order." Bai Shixing, Ouyang Mi and others immediately replied respectfully.
I entered the stone house and closed the stone door. When I looked at the dim stone prison, I found Yang Ju sitting cross-legged in the corner of the stone prison.
Since I was imprisoned in today's day, my prison clothes were relatively clean. Except for the face that I had beaten like a pig's head, my hair was not even scattered. It looked normal.
"Your Majesty, you are here." Yang Juzheng slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly.
I walked to him, looked around and said, "Mr. Yang, the environment here is pretty good. Although it is not luxurious, it is also quiet." After saying this, I squatted down again and looked at him and said, "Yang Aiqing, it seems that I knew I would come to you for a long time?"
"The emperor has only arrived at the Heavenly Prison at this moment. I guess he has finished seeing Master Li and Lord Han, right?" Yang Juzheng said lightly, as if he was not imprisoned in prison, but chatted with me in the courtyard.
"Mr. Yang, you can't protect yourself at this moment, so you'd better take care of yourself." I sneered: "But I won't kill you, I want you to see how I defeated this dynasty?"
"Haha, the emperor seems to be very angry about what happened in the Golden Palace today?" Yang Juzheng actually smiled faintly.
My eyes froze, and I stared at him and said, "You shouldn't have Alzheimer's disease, right? If you were scolded like this, would you be angry?"
"Yes." Yang Juzheng replied seriously: "The clay Bodhisattva still has three parts of the Fire surname, let alone us ordinary people? But why doesn't the emperor think about why the old minister scolded the emperor like this? Are the old ministers impatient to live? Want to seek death?"
I was stunned. I had thought that Yang Juzheng was just a corrupt scholar and couldn't stand my affair with the empress dowager. However, after thinking deeply, I felt that what Yang Juzheng said made sense. I scolded me in public unless I couldn't think about it and committed suicide. Is it because Yang Juzheng did this with ulterior motives? Judging from Yang Juzheng's appearance, it was obvious that he was not an impatient person.
"Yang Juzheng, I don't care what your intention is." I said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will really kill you?"
Yang Juzheng suddenly smiled confidently: "I believe that the emperor is not a bloodthirsty person, otherwise Mr. Li and Lord Han would have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for so long and would not have been sentenced to death. Besides, the emperor himself did not say that he would have to wait for the day when the Great Wu Dynasty was defeated?"
He said, this kid deliberately said that I would lose the court, and I was so excited that I didn't kill him on the spot. Obviously he succeeded. But how could he be sure that I wouldn't keep him from his whole life?
"Yang Juzheng, tell me why you did this. Also, how did you know that I was filthing in the harem?" I said lightly. It must be reasonable for Yang Juzheng to take such an extreme approach.
Yang Juzheng looked at me lightly and said softly: "Everyone in the world thinks that I, Yang Juzheng, is a corrupt Confucian scholar, and does not know the general principles. However, how many people know my ideal of Yang Juzheng for the country and the people."
"It's funny, it's so funny." I couldn't help laughing: "Master Yang wouldn't want to use this method to arouse my attention to you, so that I can reuse you from now on and let you realize your ideals."
"I think this is not a funny thing." Yang Juzheng said unsteadily: "But this is only one of my purposes. Do the emperor know that you are filthing in the harem? How do I know about you?"
I raised my eyebrows and snorted, "Isn't it just the General Manager Li of the Original Grand Master's Mansion? Can't I find out this little thing?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Juzheng smiled bitterly and said, "If it was reported by General Manager Li, I don't have to bother to act in this scene."
"What?" I was extremely surprised and then became confused. Manager Li might not take action personally and secretly reveal the matter to Yang Juzheng through channels.
"Your Majesty, what's surprising is still behind you." Yang Juzheng said lightly: "I followed the clues, but I was touched by my head?"
"Who?" I was also extremely curious and couldn't help asking.
"What's funny is that I finally touched a little Si in the Tao Mansion." Yang Juzheng sighed and said, "But that little Si suddenly disappeared, and there was no trace of his figure."
"Tao Mansion?" I browed and said, "Are you talking about the mansion of Tao Qian, the Minister of Rites?"
"That's right." Yang Juzheng looked serious.
"Okay, Yang Juzheng, you are about to die, but you still have to transfer my relationship with Tao Aiqing. His intentions are punishable." I scolded in a gloomy voice.
"The old minister did not make any discord, just tell the truth." Yang Ju's face was not red and he gasped: "In fact, it is precisely because Weichen was able to detect Lord Tao that it means that there is no problem with Lord Tao at all."
I was stunned and it was right to think about it. With Tao Qian's surname of the old fox, I will definitely do whatever he wants. If it was really what he did, it would be difficult to detect Tao Qian with Yang Juzheng's ability. Then according to this statement, was it because someone deliberately framed Tao old fox? Could it be that Liu Zhenming was secretly attacking? It was not right. If Liu Zhenming did this, once the matter was exposed, it would be easy for me to suspect him. Liu Zhenming would not be so stupid as to use my ugly things to do such an attack method. Otherwise, if I knew about it, he would not be worth the effort.
If you think about it further, the person who is hiding in the dark must not be as simple as trying to frame Tao Qian, but must have a deep purpose.
Seeing that I was thinking, Yang Juzheng sighed, "Did the emperor understand, someone is secretly targeting Liu Zhenming."
"Oh?" I chuckled softly: "Mr. Yang, why did you bring this matter to Liu Aiqing? It seems that this matter has nothing to do with him, right?"
Yang Juzheng looked at me lightly: "The emperor probably wouldn't have expected that if this matter is exposed, the biggest suspect will be Liu Zhenming, right? First of all, Liu Zhenming was originally dependent on the faction of Master Li, and has only recently moved to the emperor. He has the conditions to contact General Manager Li and gain his trust through sweet words. Second, Liu Zhenming and Tao Qian are currently the emperor's most favored court officials. If they fight each other, it is very likely."
"In addition, even if the conspiracy is exposed, I can still be preventive to Liu Zhenming and Tao Qian. The initial purpose of sowing discord has been achieved. Maybe this matter will happen again and again." I used his tone, paced around the cell, and thought for a while and said, "I think the person who hides in the dark and makes bad things be you, Lord Yang? It is well known to everyone for you, you, are you, Lord Yang?
Yang Juzheng couldn't help but speak in a hurry and said angrily: "Things that are well-known to everyone are often not necessarily correct. If I, Yang Juzheng, hadn't been for that little bastard this time, I, should have suffered so much?"
I also laughed silently. It turned out that he and Liu Zhenming were just incompatible on the surface. No wonder he would have been so hard to protect Liu Zhenming this time. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to investigate this matter blatantly, and there is a high chance that he would suspect Liu Zhenming's head.
"To talk about Lao Yang, Ping Yueli is a mortal enemy when you and Liu Zhenming are you?" I laughed strangely: "Is there something wrong, I'm secretly hiding it from me?"
Yang Juzheng sighed lightly and said, "The old minister is old and has not caught up with the opportunity to realize the dream of a strong country in my heart. The old minister has no hope, but Liu Zhenming is different. He is young and has been very smart since childhood, and has a very lofty ideal. Even the flattery is one set after another. The only bad habit may be that he is a little lustful. But when he meets an emperor like you, he is also lucky, and he should not be embarrassed by this."
"I said." I cursed in my heart: "What is an emperor like me?"
Sure enough, when you see the truth, you can't think of it as the truth at all. Who would have expected that teachers and students who seem so tit-for-tat on the surface would be so harmonious in private.
