Chapter 467 – Knocking on the Queue
The group of ministers dispersed.
Many of them originally belonged to the Righteous King’s party, which was linked together by the ties of the various sects of the Righteous Dao. Now they also knew that King Yi could not be protected.
Not to mention the others, even they had decided in their hearts that this was Yi Wang’s doing. Because he was beaten up at the banquet, he planned the assassination in anger, the motive is there; and there are countless people who can prove that the archer is indeed King Yi’s personal guard, the evidence is also there.
That said, to do into an iron case still lacks a complete chain of evidence, this is the Department Six follow-up to do the evidence and confession work. And the point is, the archer died without evidence, Department Six can not be on the King of torture confession can not play what soul searching hand, then this evidence is certainly not clear, most likely can only lack of key evidence to close the case, how to characterize depends on the will of Ji Qingyuan.
But unless the real culprits themselves jumped out, otherwise even if the evidence is insufficient to convict, Yi Wang’s suspicion still can not be washed away, Ji Qingyuan pardoned his acquittal is also useless, in any case, the Xiangguo and the court three clans are absolutely refused to recognize a back of the suspicion of regicide Prince. Ji Qingyuan dares to establish, they all dare to refute.
Since it is destined to become a thing, it is not an iron case actually does not matter …… anymore.
Many people returned to their mansions and started writing.
Some people are writing letters to the righteousness of the various clans, stating that the righteous king can not be saved, do you want to hurry to change a support? Today’s situation is afraid to change one can not gather the hearts of the people, it is recommended to hurry to make another trip to the capital ……
Some people are worriedly writing to the court, stating that the current situation is caused by the failure to establish the Crown Prince, and would like to appeal to His Majesty to establish the Crown Prince at an early date with a death wish!
Some people are writing a letter of complaint to Ji Wuyou to hug their thighs. Brain lively point know, this time Ji Wuyou into the possibility of the greatest, and almost difficult to reverse.
Inside Department Six, Xiahou Di sat woodenly in the public hall, others have already left, Xuan Zhe is being interrogated in the prison, only Xue Mu and the people he brought in the hall. Xia Wenxuan curry night Ye Lujing Zhuo Qingqing collective are all there.
After a while, Xiahou Di said slightly hoarsely, “Patriarch Xia helped catch the murderer and saved my ninth brother’s life, Xiahou Di is very thankful, and the previous grudges are written off.”
Xia Wenxuan said, “This seat is also for myself, the black pot that paralyzed your father with fear, although this seat is not afraid to carry, but do not want to carry for others.”
Xiahou Di faintly said, “There is no black pot to speak of. Father’s paralysis was originally due to poisoning, not because of Your Excellency. Your Excellency’s crime is to barge into the palace without reason and be lawless. To this day, this point is settled, this seat will revoke the wanted and you and I will finish our business.”
Xia Wenxuan laughed, “Reasonable, refreshing.”
Xiahou Di’s gaze fell on Xue Mu, seeing that Xue Mu was still pondering, he said, “What are you thinking about?”
Xue Mu raised his head, confusion in his eyes, “Are Ji Wuli’s guards awesome?”
Xiahou Di froze, “What do you mean?”
“A strong person at the late stage of Dao Entry, casually dying for him …… Where did he get such a strong power? What level are his guards?”
“Just this one Dao-enterer is a very close commander of Ji Wuli. Perhaps Ji Wuli’s daily favors are heavy, so it’s not strange for this person to go to his death for the Lord. It’s just that this person was not known for his arrows in the past, or else we should have checked him last time you were assassinated …… I think it’s mostly because Ji Wuli secretly cultivated some special means.”
Xue Mu was still pondering.
Xiahou Di seriously said, “What are you suspecting?”
“Whether this person is out of the mansion or whether he is elsewhere and someone else is out of the mansion to give him orders or not, someone has to be out of the mansion, right? Curry Night Qingqing brought people to watch the Yi Wang Mansion, no one went out at all, could they sneak around and hide from Curry Night? I suspect that this person most likely has another allegiance, and the orders received are not from the Yi Wang Mansion.”
Xiahou Di’s expression snapped up.
This was indeed the key point. Curry Night’s surveillance was something that neither one had anticipated beforehand, and the other party’s scheming revealed its greatest footing here.
“But this is useless ah ……,” Xue Mu muttered, “This can’t become crucial evidence, and it can’t point to anyone, it doesn’t mean anything… …And there’s something I really don’t understand ……”
“What?”
“This person is a very patient person, how many opportunities that seemed like they could have risen to the top he has endured through, this kind of person would never easily choose such drastic means, or if he wanted to use this kind of means he could have used it a long time ago, why would he use it today? Is there something special about today? Causing him to become impatient and violent?”
There wasn’t anything special, the only special thing was Xiahou Di recognizing his ancestor.
What kind of trigger is this? Because someone had coveted Xiahou Di for a long time? As a result, she became a sister, touched his scales, and couldn’t tolerate it?
Possibility exists, reading the story can be so guess, reality so guess lacks sufficient persuasive. Xue Mu can only think about this to himself, can not say to Xiahou Di.
Xia Wenxuan impatiently said from the side: ”Whatever for? Anyway, if you can determine that it wasn’t Ji Wuli who did it, then whoever benefits from this is who did it, isn’t it simple?”
With just the evidence of no one leaving the mansion, Xue Mu really didn’t dare to say that it definitely wasn’t Ji Wuli’s doing. But he has long been preconceived, the imaginary enemy in his heart has never been a very calm and patient person, absolutely impossible to be Ji Wuli this kind of shallow on the surface, Ji Wuli such a person planning to get the Heron State plague? Planned to assassinate the father? I’m kidding.
Then there is another person who did not show up, the one who benefited the most?
He looked toward Xiahou Di.
Xiahou Di was biting her lower lip tightly, almost about to bite out blood.
After a long time, she hoarsely said, “You can’t rely on speculation, you need evidence.”
Xue Mu sighed: “Unfortunately, it is impossible to have evidence, perhaps this world is only one person in me who has a preconceived idea and has to go to this bull’s eye. Anyway …… if you believe me, just keep an eye out.”
The dumb riddle in this question and answer, Curry Night and the girls all heard it, and chills spread in everyone’s heart.
Xue Mu seems …… to have locked Ji Wuyou?
If it’s really Ji Wuyou, he’s too capable of hiding, isn’t he? He didn’t even say a word about the previous party disputes and factions, so he really isn’t afraid that someone else will take the throne?
Why would such a tolerant person take such drastic measures this time? It doesn’t make sense. Just because someone benefits, they say they did it? Indeed, there is a lack of sufficient logical support, and the evidence is not even a single one. Since childhood and Ji Wuyou relationship extremely close Xiahou Di is not willing to believe is understandable, said to passers-by may not believe.
Regardless of how others view this case, Ji Wuyou’s gain is the nail in the coffin, even if Xue Mu questioned, no evidence can not change any trend.
The next day before dawn, there were a group of ministers kneeling and knocking at the palace gate.
At the head of the group was Su Duancheng, the Minister of Xiangguo, with hundreds of officials from the “Xiangguo Party”, knocking at the palace gate to ask for a decree to establish the crown prince.
The so-called Xiangguo Party, to put it another way, is actually a combination of Qi Wang Wang’s Party and Tang Wang’s Party, representing the ruling interests of the bureaucratic and scholarly classes. It is just that originally Ji Wuyou never stood on the stage, Ji Wuxing’s supporters are not many, people can only take the phase state as the leader.
And to this day, Ji Wuxing is seriously injured, and it is not known how long it will take for him to be cured, and their intention to ask for the establishment of the crown prince is very clear, and they can already be renamed as the Party of the King of Qi.
At the same time, knocking Que officials also many more people who originally belonged to the Party of King Yi, all of them righteously stated that King Yi is heartless and cannot be a ruler, they want to stand on the side of justice.
“Flesh and bone are killing each other, sibling rivalry, this heartbreaking matter, all because of the crown prince is undecided. I kneel to ask Your Majesty to establish the Crown Prince as early as possible, to return the stability of the earth and grain, the world will be fortunate!”
The kowtow queers exceeded the total number of court officials, and the vast number of hoards were uncountable, and there were countless low-level officials in the periphery who were not enough to stand. Because it was the spring festival time, countless foreign officials were in the capital, including several feudal officials, and Xue Mu’s old acquaintance, Jianzhou Governor Ye Tingsheng, was among them.
He had been alienated by Ji Qingyuan due to Xue Mu’s secret provocations, and had long since leaned on a certain prince, and now it seemed that it was none other than Ji Wuyou.
Xiahou Di and the three patriarchs of the imperial court were all standing at the side of the queue, not participating in the kowtow, appearing to be cold-eyed observers. But since they didn’t stop the matter, the meaning was clear – they supported doing so. Because they likewise hoped that Ji Qingyuan would hurry up and establish a crown prince, or even directly pass the throne would be best, delaying a hair ah, messy.
In other words, in addition to Eunuch Li’s people, here is almost all the officials in the world …… included
This kind of forced the palace of the huge degree of power, honestly already can directly embrace the establishment, Eunuch Li with the inner guards blocked in front of the palace door, know in their hearts that they can not stop such a big trend.
Officials are all from martial arts background, so many people together to knock Que’s cry can not be stopped, the sound of the leisurely transmission into the Ji Qingyuan’s chambers, Ji Qingyuan open eyes expressionless listening.
Liu Wanxi carefully accompanied on one side and whispered, “Your Majesty ……”
“Ask them …… to force me like this, who they want to embrace, say it straight.”
Liu Wanxi sighed in her heart.
More than sibling rivalry, isn t it obvious that there is also father and son against each other?
This is really the dirtiest place in the world, including herself.
