Chapter 96 My son has the appearance of becoming a saint! ! 【5k big chapter】
Above the court, the officials looked at the furious King Qi.
There were expressions of surprise on their faces.
Then they all looked towards Zeng Shilin calmly.
At that time, there was no expression on Zeng Shilin's face.
He wanted to give Emperor Jianhong and the officials time to digest.
First of all, most people in the court knew that King Jiang and King Qi were from the same mother.
And indeed, he is just a Prince Jiang, a prince who is not very favored.
Are the disciples of the Xuanzhen Division colluding with him?
This doesn't make sense.
Unless someone...
Of course, these are just speculations in the minds of the ministers.
The most important thing is to see what His Majesty thinks in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the person named Zeng is just slandering."
King Naqi's face was dark red, and his eyes were about to burst. He looked at Zeng Shilin, and a strong murderous intention emerged in his body involuntarily.
In an instant, the entire Jinluan Palace felt an irresistible oppression.
"Hmph!"
A voice sounded from beside Emperor Jianhong.
The voice was not very slow, but had a hint of coldness.
“Deng Deng~”
King Qi couldn't help but take two steps back, a flush flashing across his face.
Then his eyes looked at the plain-looking eunuch beside Emperor Jianhong with some lack of confidence.
"In spite of the sacred authority of the court, if His Highness King Qi no longer wants to live, the Zajia family will help you choose a burial site next time."
The eunuch's face was expressionless and his voice was lukewarm.
It was just the extremely serious attitude in his tone that made everyone feel shocked.
Obviously, what people say can really mean what they say.
"Hoo~"
King Qi took a deep breath, not daring to act any more recklessly. He focused his gaze on Zeng Shilin in front of him.
Zeng Shilin didn't even look at him, he looked up at Emperor Jianhong.
At this time, Emperor Jianhong's face was expressionless, and his eyes did not change at all.
No one could guess what he was thinking.
After a long time, Emperor Jianhong's voice slowly sounded:
"If there is no evidence, it is a serious crime to slander important officials of the imperial court."
As soon as this sentence came out.
All eyes were focused on Zeng Shilin.
Qin Shoucheng's face also looked a little restless.
There was no expression on his face, but he was already a little worried in his heart.
No...old brother.
If you want to join a group, you should say hello to me in advance!
Just use the amplified move without making a sound, right?
King Qi did not dare to make too many mistakes at this time, but he did not lose his momentum. His height of more than ten feet was very eye-catching among the ministers.
A pair of wide-eyed eyes stared at Zeng Shilin.
Zeng Shilin took his time and slowly raised his head and said:
"Your Majesty, during the east palace dog magic formation assessment that day, it was Wang Qianzhi, the son of King Qi, who touched the magic formation."
Dad said something inexplicably at this time.
After these words came out, everyone frowned secretly.
I don't know what Zeng Shilin meant when he said this.
Only Emperor Jianhong looked at him thoughtfully.
Without interrupting him, he raised his hand to indicate for him to continue speaking.
At this time, after King Qi heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at Zeng Shilin in surprise.
Obviously, he could also see that Zeng Shilin seemed to already know something.
"And Wang Qianzhi, the son of King Qi, lit three incense sticks before touching the illusory formation. These three incense sticks are called Wu agarwood and they come from the Xuan Formation Division."
When Zeng Shilin said this, he turned his head expressionlessly and looked at King Qi who was still standing there.
King Qi felt Zeng Shilin's eyes.
His face was gloomy and he was looking at the ground. At this time, he just clenched his fists and said nothing.
"Wu agarwood?"
Suddenly someone spoke, looking at Zeng Shilin coldly, with a hint of suspicion in his voice:
"I don't understand what Zeng Shangshu said. I only know of the fragrance of Xuanzhensi, which can make people feel refreshed. But I don't know where to start talking about this black agarwood."
< br>
This man's name was Liu Li, he was the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty and a member of the eunuch party. He was in the same camp as King Qi.
Hearing his doubts, Zeng Shilin's lips curled up slightly.
Until now, King Qi's reaction, Emperor Jianhong's reaction, and the eunuch's reaction were all as he expected, without any deviation.
He raised his head lightly, looked at Emperor Jianhong, and said in a very steady voice:
"Your Majesty, Wu Chenxiang is a substitute made by the disciples of Xuanzhen Division."
"Because the main ingredient of Qingshen Incense was too expensive, a disciple of the Xuanzhen Division replaced it with a substitute. Although the effect was the same, a drawback arose."
His voice echoed throughout the hall.
Everyone frowned subconsciously.
What are the drawbacks?
"After sniffing the agarwood, you cannot touch the formation, otherwise you will feel restless!"
Zeng Shilin did not whet his appetite and said in a deep voice.
……
The entire hall fell silent with his words.
Most of the officials thought that Prince Qi and his son were really sinister.
"If it weren't for Quanzi's perseverance, the results of that day's assessment could be imagined."
And Jianhong's eyes flashed with a cold light.
He first glanced at King Qi without any trace.
Then he set his sights on Zeng Shilin.
Zeng Shilin met Emperor Jianhong's gaze without speaking.
The words King Qi secretly contacted the Xuanzhen Division could not be uttered.
I can only give an introduction and let Emperor Jianhong think about it himself.
"You are saying that Wang Qianzhi, the son of King Qi, wants to assassinate Zeng Anmin?"
Dad didn’t know what Emperor Jianhong was thinking.
But after hearing Emperor Jianhong's question, Zeng Shilin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, Emperor Jianhong had already doubted King Qi.
You may even have murderous intentions!
However, now we still need to add more fire.
Zeng Shilin took his time, slowly raised his head, and said in a long voice:
"Your Majesty, you only need to send someone to Prince Qi's Mansion to search for Wu Agarwood and you will know."
"You!!" King Qi couldn't help it when he heard this.
He was originally the Northern Capital of the Imperial City Division.
Naturally, I knew what Zeng Shilin meant.
Searching for agarwood?
Well said!
They are all officials, whose butt is clean?
If he really found something else, he would be really doomed today!
"Your Majesty, my brother bought Wu Chenxiang from a merchant back then."
King Qi went directly to the throne, although he did not understand the power of the court.
But at least he knows one thing, that is, parents generally won't punish children who make mistakes too harshly.
He simply stood up directly.
A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, everyone's expressions changed.
Zeng Shilin frowned.
King Qi's attitude shows that I am trying to survive by cutting off my tail.
My son just wants to harm your son, I admit it.
I also admit Wu Chenxiang.
But I'm sorry, colluding with the Xuanzhen Division is not a problem!
"Wu Chenxiang is in the secret room of my brother's house."
King Qi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Jianhong:
"Fortunately, it did not lead to a serious disaster, but it is my fault that I was lax in discipline. Please punish me by Your Majesty."
The attitude in the words is sincere.
He also said that although Wang Qianzhi wanted to frame Zeng Anmin.
But he didn't succeed, and Zeng Anmin was fine.
Emperor Jianhong looked at him indifferently, and his voice slowly sounded:
"Wang Qianzhi... left the position of Prince's Attendant and was confined at home for three months."
"King Qi is not strict in discipline and will be fined one year's salary."
After saying this, he slowly raised his head and looked at Zeng Shilin:
"Zeng Aiqing, what else do you want to say?"
Obviously, there is not much difference from what Zeng Shilin thought.
Wu agarwood cannot be used as evidence.
Emperor Jianhong would not conclude that King Qi was colluding with the disciples of Xuanzhen Division just because of Wu Chenxiang.
King Qi is still his loyal and good brother.
There were already many people in the court waiting to see Zeng Shilin's joke.
After all, so much effort has been put into it, but no actual results have been achieved.
After all, Zeng Shilin was new to Beijing's officialdom and lacked some experience.
Things seemed to be coming to an end like this.
But what they don't know is.
However, the real drama has just begun! !
Zeng Shilin stood expressionless. He bowed slightly and bowed, raising the jade wat high in his hand: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, King Shenqi colluded with Xuanzhen Secretary Qi Xianlin to frame Zhongliang, and Zhongyuanbo's house was wronged for seven years! So far, nothing has happened. Clear the grievances! ”
These words were said with sonorous force and the voice was extremely vibrating.
As the words came out.
Everyone had a speechless expression on their faces.
No, that's almost it.
Who is Uncle Zhongyuan?
Some people don't even remember Uncle Zhongyuan, whose house was confiscated by the imperial court seven years ago.
But as soon as these words came out, Emperor Jianhong's eyes suddenly burst into a trembling light.
Qi Xianlin, the abandoned disciple of Xuanzhen Division!
Not only did Jianhong know about this person, he was even tricked by Xu Tianshi because of him!
"You old man, I have already admitted my mistake, and Your Majesty has punished me, but you are still so unyielding. What do you mean? Do you really think that my sword is disadvantageous?!"
King Qi didn't feel any emotion after hearing this, and even wanted to laugh a little.
He felt that Zeng Shilin was like a mad dog, biting everything he caught.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The ministers also looked like they were watching a good show, waiting to see Zeng Shilin's joke.
I just didn’t expect...
"What do you mean by Zeng Aiqing's words?"
Emperor Jianhong's face was expressionless, and his voice echoed throughout the hall.
?
As soon as Emperor Jianhong said these words, all the clever ministers in the palace felt that something was wrong.
His Majesty did not refuse directly, which means...
Got suspicious! ! !
Several civil servants suddenly raised their heads and looked at Zeng Shilin in the field, with somewhat surprised expressions on their faces.
Zeng Shilin unhurriedly adjusted his official robe, slowly raised his head, tilted his chin, and showed a hint of pride on his face.
Only King Qi still didn't care.
When it came to Wu Chenxiang, he still felt a little guilty.
But colluding with Qi Xianlin?
Who is Qi Xianlin? Why should I collude with him?
And colluded with him to frame Uncle Zhongyuan? hehe.
It’s nothing!
This is the only thing he has a clear conscience about.
So his face was extremely plain and he didn't care.
Because, those who are pure will themselves be cleansed!
"Seven years ago, during Yinwu's battle to destroy demons, His Highness King Qi informed Demon King Zhuan Xuan of the march of Uncle Zhongyuan, which resulted in Uncle Zhongyuan being brutally killed by the demon clan. King Taqi instead attacked him and slandered Uncle Zhongyuan for cultivating demon blood martial arts... ”
Speaking of this, Zeng Shilin looked sad.
He knelt on the ground with a bang and shouted injustice:
"Poor Uncle Zhongyuan, a family full of loyal people, was framed and wronged by this thief! Your Majesty, please make the decision for Uncle Zhongyuan!!"
"Joke!!"
King Qi laughed directly in the court, with a clear conscience on his face, and his voice was extremely confident:
"Not to mention why I falsely accused him when I had no enmity with him."
"The fact that he practices demon blood martial arts was not only witnessed by me on the battlefield back then!"
"And..."
King Qi looked at Zeng Shilin with a smile but said:
"The battlefield is changing rapidly. Uncle Zhongyuan leads his troops to lure the enemy. I don't know his marching route at all. How can I convey his traces to the demon clan?"
Speaking of this, King Qi even felt that the old man in front of him felt as if his brain had been kicked by a donkey.
Are you just trying to slander me?
Prince Jiang didn't know if he was knocked unconscious by the woman, but he was actually defeated by this old man.
Jianhong also faintly raised his head and looked at Zeng Shilin, with a hint of impatience in his voice:
"Uncle Zhongyuan's death is a foregone conclusion, so why bother with Zeng Aiqing?"
Obviously, Emperor Jianhong's patience was running out.
However, Zeng Shilin's next words made everyone raise their heads at the same time, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a formation in the Xuan Formation Department called "Wentian". This formation is so mysterious that it is very easy to deduce the marching position..."
Zeng Shilin only said half of what he said, leaving Jianhong to figure out the rest.
Sure enough, after Jianhong heard what he said, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Three names have emerged in his mind.
King Jiang, Qi Xianlin, King Qi...the battlefield back then...
His face was expressionless and he slowly looked at King Qi.
At this time, King Qi had not yet reacted. He sneered and looked at Zeng Shilin and asked:
"Asking the Heaven Formation? It should be called the Life-breaking Formation, right? I also know about the Breaking Formation Formation, but what does this mean??"
Zeng Shilin glanced at Jianhong without any trace.
At this time, Jianhong's eyes were deep, and his eyes remained on King Qi.
It's stable, but it still needs more fire.
When Zeng Shilin saw Emperor Jianhong's expression, he knew that things had developed to this point.
The possibility that King Qi had colluded with Qi Xianlin had planted a seed in Emperor Jianhong's mind.
Just water it lightly and it will become a towering tree in an instant!
"Your Majesty, I don't know exactly what happened on the battlefield back then, but you only need to summon Qi Xianlin, the Secretary of the Xuan Formation, and you will know."
Zeng Shilin's face had no expression at this time, and his voice was no longer as aggressive as before.
But words that are as warm as water are just like a knife cutting flesh, killing people bit by bit invisibly.
King Qi didn't care about this and just looked at Zeng Shilin indifferently.
It's like watching a clown.
Your Majesty will never believe Zeng Shilin's illogical words.
However, Emperor Jianhong slowly raised his head and said to the outside of the palace:
"Bring Qi Xianlin, Secretary of the Mysterious Formation, to the hall."
?
King Qi's expression changed slightly.
…………
"Puff~"
A figure was thrown onto the main hall.
That man was a hunchbacked old man with ravines on his face, and he was dressed in plain clothes and was extremely simple.
If you didn't know better, you would have thought it was an old farmer.
This person is Qi Xianlin, the abandoned disciple of Xuanzhen Division.
At this time, he looked up blankly at the ministers and Emperor Jianhong on the dragon throne in the main hall.
"Qi Xianlin, what happened in Yinwu's battle to destroy demons..."
Emperor Jianhong looked at the man on the ground calmly.
"Ah...ah...well...well..."
Qi Xianlin wanted to speak, but couldn't open his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Jianhong frowned, a little confused.
"Your Majesty, this person must have been hit by Xu Tianshi's magic... and cannot speak."
The inconspicuous eunuch in the palace whispered in Emperor Jianhong's ear.
Emperor Jianhong frowned and looked at Qi Xianlin on the ground.
Is it possible that I should go out of the palace in person to invite Master Xu Tian?
While he was calculating in his mind, a voice slowly sounded:
"Your Majesty, Zeng Shangshu said that this person learned the news on the battlefield through the "Wentian" Formation, but as far as I know, the Wentian Formation is extremely restrictive and will shorten his life for twenty years. If there is no emergency, ordinary The formation master will never use it.”
"Although he can't speak, he only needs to ask a doctor to observe his lifespan to know whether he has used the "Asking Heaven" formation!"
The person who spoke was none other than the chief minister of the dynasty, Li Zhen! !
After hearing this, Emperor Jianhong slowly looked towards Li Zhen.
Li Zhen didn't shy away from looking at him.
After a long time.
Emperor Jianhong nodded slowly: "Bring a doctor."
But these words made Zeng Shilin's face change slightly. He narrowed his eyes and looked towards Li Zhen.
Only Li Zhen's gentle back could be seen.
This loophole was something he didn't expect...
But...it doesn't matter, all it takes is to plant the seeds in Emperor Jianhong's heart. He and Zeng Anmin, father and son, have prepared backup plans.
That backhand is a fatal blow!
……
After a while, an old figure appeared in the main hall. Faced with the gaze of the ministers, this man came to kneel down in front of Emperor Jianhong tremblingly.
"I have met His Majesty."
"Without ceremony, Dr. Liu, please take his pulse."
Emperor Jianhong looked at Qi Xianlin on the ground and spoke calmly.
"Yes."
Imperial Doctor Liu did not dare to hesitate and quickly squatted on the ground to pull Qi Xianlin's pulse.
After a long time, he suddenly raised his head in shock and took a breath:
"Weak pulse...Sign of sudden loss of vitality? No matter how much medicine and stone are used, it can only extend life for two or three years...What did you do? How could this happen?"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jianhong looked fiercely at Qi Xianlin on the ground, and the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
An extremely cold breath slowly brewed in the hall! !
He stood up suddenly, with a chill in his voice:
"Retreat!"
After saying that, he stepped forward directly, and after a while, his back disappeared directly in front of the ministers.
……
Zeng Shilin looked at Emperor Jianhong who suddenly left, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
The voice of the great boy Zeng Anmin seemed to ring in my ears:
"When Emperor Jianhong becomes suspicious of King Qi, he will definitely ask his close associates who participated in the battlefield if they have seen Qi Xianlin on the battlefield..."
"Bai Ziqing was able to follow Emperor Jianhong when he went to Jiangnan for a private visit. Naturally, he was deeply trusted by Emperor Jianhong."
"At that time, as long as he nods slightly, King Qi's life will be determined by Emperor Jianhong's thoughts..."
Thinking of this, Zeng Shilin no longer hesitated and walked directly towards the outside of the palace.
When passing by King Qi, he heard King Qi sarcastically saying:
"Still want to slander this king? Zeng Shilin, if you had put your thoughts more on studying, you would have entered the first level and become a sub-sage."
However, the father didn't even look at him.
Just choose to ignore it.
Because there is no need to talk to a dead person at this time.
After walking out of the hall.
Zeng Shilin slowly raised his head and headed towards his carriage.
There is only one voice left in my heart:
"My son is at peace with the people and has the appearance of a saint!!"
