Chapter 227
Chapter 227: The Coffin
Didn’t Lu Yijian know that if Li Yonghe continues to talk, it will arouse the suspicion of Song Renzong? But what should I say? Is it just a matter of reasoning? Li Yonghe is not Wang Deyong, so I will be bullied and behave like a turtle with a turtle...
This matter is time to think about it slowly and come up with a powerful counterattack! Otherwise, it would be just a word from Li Yonghe, which would strengthen the hearts of the officials!
Li Yonghe continued, "One of these, two! Since the Maitreya Cult demon has entered the palace, why did he just set fire to those lofts and bungalows? It is important to know that those lofts and bungalows have been built for too long. Although there are too many renovations, it is not a comforting thing. It is just a place that is put in some miscellaneous things and let a few elderly eunuchs live! What is the value of such a place?"
After hearing this, Emperor Renzong of Song couldn't help but nod.
Li Yonghe said again: "Since you have been involved in the palace, you must have spent a lot of effort. You are just burning these attics, which is really unbelievable. If you were the mastermind of the Maitreya Sect, you would have to send someone to burn important palaces such as Daqing Hall and Yanhe Hall. Although these two palaces are built with bricks and stones and are not easy to burn, as long as they are burned, it is a major event that shocks the world!"
Daqing Hall, the place for morning court.
In Yanhe Palace, where Song Renzong summoned the prime minister or confidant minister to discuss major events. Not to mention anything else, it was like Li Di being exiled, which was the decision made by Song Renzong and Lu Yijian and Song Shou after discussing in Yanhe Palace.
Song Renzong asked, "There are three more people? And the uncle said so, do you doubt anything?"
Li Yonghe and Song Renzong bowed and said, "That's right!"
After a pause, Li Yonghe said again: "The third place of doubt is, why does the Maitreya Sect want to poison the little lady? It is important to know that the little lady is not in conflict with the world and lives a day of a pure cultivation. If you have this ability, you should poison the official family if you say something ruthlessly!"
Song Renzong's face immediately looked ugly.
Song Shou even shouted, "A thorough investigation! It must be thorough investigation! Even Daxing prison is in no way possible!"
At this time, Lu Yijian walked out slowly and said, "I have a word here!"
Song Renzong calmed down a little and asked, "Please tell me if you like Lv Aiqing!"
Seeing that it was Lu Yijian and Song Shou was not annoyed. Lu Yijian stroked his beard and said slowly: "I ask about everything and pay attention to momentum! Therefore, since ancient times, no one has said that there are ten thousand people, and there are ten thousand people who have said that there are 30,000 to 40,000, and there are 100,000."
Han Yi, the head of the Privy Council, was a little impatient and asked, "What does Lu Gong mean?"
Lu Yijian was not angry, and still looked light and said slowly: "The Maitreya religion did all to boost momentum! I left the tokens for fear that my imperial guards would not find it. As for the burning, it was naturally because the attic and bungalows were all made of wood, and it was easy to burn, and half of the sky was burned red, which could be seen inside and outside Bianliang City. It was not as strict as the guards of the Yanhe Hall, but also bricks and stones, and setting fires were not easy. And even if it was done, it could be concealed by us."
Song Renzong calmed down and nodded in agreement: "Lu Aiqing said this, as if it was really true!"
Song Shou also echoed: "How do the local buns from the Maitreya Cult know the importance of Yanhe Palace and Daqing Palace? They are just a bunch of brave but unscheming mud legs!"
Li Yonghe was still unwilling to give up and said, "Then why do you poison the little lady?"
Song Renzong's face was also gloomy, and speechless sadness rippled in the air.
Lu Yijian looked upright and said, "The little lady is the one who has been given the official family! Originally, the ginseng soup was for the official family, and the official family was thinking about the little lady's body, so they sent it to him. I don't want to...ah!"
Song Renzong felt even more guilty, and Yan Wenying was secretly happy. Did Song Renzong get up on this matter on a whim? It was all because Yan Wenying said specifically that it seemed that the little empress was infected with the cold, so Song Renzong was sent to her.
Li Yonghe was speechless and had no choice but to bow down.
Prime Minister Wang once said: "The official family has something to do now, although it is done immediately."
Song Renzong was surprised and asked, "What is Wang Aiqing going to say?"
"Immediately check the remnants of the Maitreya Sect in the palace." Wang Zeng bowed and said firmly.
Song Renzong agreed deeply, thought for a while, and ordered: "This matter is very important, and only a capable minister cannot go."
At this moment, Lu Yijian immediately stood up and bowed, "Although I am old, I dare not share the worries of the officials. How about letting me take charge of this matter?"
Seeing Lu Yijian speak, although the other prime ministers were a little unhappy, after all, who would be happy if such a credit was given to others? The problem is that Lu Yijian is too tough and has been deeply favored by the holy family. Last year, Li Di was taken down by Lu Yijian. Even the proud Song Shou, wouldn’t he be afraid?
Song Renzong hesitated and said, "Don't worry, I'm not sure about this matter, but Lu Aiqing has to take care of a lot of things. Is this OK?"
Lu Yijian said solemnly: "The official has said just now that this matter is very important. I am afraid that something will happen, so I must do it! As for the current affairs, I can ask several ministers to help you."
Song Renzong nodded with a little hesitation and said, "Since Lu Aiqing said this, I will use Lu Aiqing as the supervisor. Well! Li Aiqing, General Wang, you two help me!"
Privy Councilor Li Zi and Privy Councilor Wang Deyong agreed with each other.
After Lu Yijian thanked him, he said, "There is another thing that requires the consent of the official!"
Song Renzong asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Yijian sighed and said, "The little lady was poisoned and this matter spreads. How do people in the world view the royal family?"
Song Renzong looked hesitant and asked several other prime ministers: "What do you think?"
Wang Zeng nodded and said, "This matter is indeed difficult to deal with!"
Song Shou said angrily: "This damn Maitreya demon, I think it's a low-key thing!"
Sheng Du, the assistant minister, shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be low-key. The little lady is the mother of the country. It is fine if you know it. If you don't know, you will be scolding the officials for being unfilial. Few people know about this matter, and it is difficult to explain, it is difficult to handle! It is difficult to handle!"
Han Yi, the head of the Privy Council, said: "What if you do not die suddenly when it comes to folk words? Ambiguous can also cover up!"
Lu Yijian shook his head and said, "Not good!"
Han Yi asked: "What do you think Lu Gong should do?"
Lu Yijian said: "This is a sudden death from the official family, but the reputation of the young lady is not very good. How could it be a sudden death? I am afraid that someone will rumor that the official family will be poisoned. Or the generals are angry at the royal family. No matter what, after this rumor appears, the world may be unstable. This is a chance to take advantage of the momentum!"
Song Renzong was so despair that he was silent that he looked at Lu Yijian with a slight pleading and said, "Since Lu Aiqing has already asked for this problem, he has already thought of a clever plan?"
Lu Yijian looked hesitant and said, "I believe that it is best to announce to the public that the young lady is ineffective and ended up in failure! This will bring the reputation of the entire official family. Secondly, it will prevent the people of the Maitreya Sect from being arrogant."
"No!" Sheng Du, the deputy general manager, immediately opposed it. "How can an official family do untrue things? "Han Feizi" says: It is better to be honest than clever and honest. This matter was exposed later and was shocked by the world!"
When Song Renzong heard this, he hesitated and nodded hesitantly, "What Sheng Aiqing said is very much, it's just... just..."
Speaking of this, Song Renzong didn't know what to say.
Lu Yijian immediately retorted: "This is not because the official family is dishonest! It is to consolidate the foundation of the country. If the people in the world know that the Maitreya Cult goes straight to the palace to kill the little lady, how do the people in the world view my Song Dynasty? How do you view the Maitreya Cult? A gentleman is right with sincerity, but it is not the way of a king! And it is just a propaganda to the outside world. The demons of the Maitreya Cult still need to investigate and avenge the little lady! I think the little lady should also know that it is powerful, and even if she is underground, she will be sympathetic to the official family's bitter smile!"
Song Renzong sighed and asked the other prime ministers. "My dear masters, what do you think?"
Song Shou shook his head and said nothing.
Song Renzong's eyes turned to the other people, and Wang Zeng hesitated and said, "Officials, I heard what the King of Changsha said in Qingzhou."
Song Renzong cheered up a little and asked, "Oh? I don't know what it said, which made Wang Aiqing so worried?"
Wang Zeng said with a solemn look on his face: "Why do you cry all the way?"
Song Renzong was stunned for a moment. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I am tired. Let's deal with everything for Lu Aiqing!"
As he said that, Song Renzong retreated to the harem, and Yan Wenying hurriedly followed.
The others had complicated eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Although Song Renzong did not explicitly say whether this proposal was possible, he handed over all the matter to Lu Yijian, who proposed to the public that the young lady died without success. Isn’t this the best answer?
Lu Yijian is worthy of being a tumbler in the court and has great ability. He ordered the prime minister to calm the hearts of the people, ordered the prime minister to take charge in Kaifeng Prefecture, appease the people, and ordered the Privy Councilor to patrol the imperial guards outside the city.
After giving instructions, the prime ministers were very clear, and no one refused to agree. At that moment, the few people acted separately.
It didn't take long for Lu Yijian to find Xu Chengen's room in the clues left by the "Maitreya Cult demon" who was setting fire. He found the token of the Maitreya Cult in Xu Chengen's room, and there were also a large amount of gold, jewelry, Jiaozi, worth ten thousand yuan!
Lu Yijian immediately decided that Xu Chengen, the surname of Xu Chengen, colluded with the Maitreya religion and secretly the palace. Xu Chengen committed suicide that night. Several eunuchs with official ranks were implicated and threw themselves into the Heavenly Prison.
Song Renzong was furious and ordered a thorough investigation and re-operation. The eunuchs who took the lead were all sentenced to be executed. More than a dozen low-level eunuchs who were investigated were sent to Lingnan, but they were not mentioned.
Some people were puzzled at the time, and it would be fine if the little eunuch was not the same as the officials, except for the two who were close to Xu Chengeng, the other three were all eunuchs in the palace who had always had disagreements with Yan Wen.
When Zhao Qian woke up, it was already morning, and the decadent aura lingered on Zhao Qian.
Cao Feiliang, Song Xing, Xiao Xuanzi and others have persuaded him, but it is useless.
Gongsun Xuanxu rushed back from the Taoist temple outside the city. When he saw Zhao Jin's expression, he immediately shouted, "Does the prince not want to avenge the little empress?"
Zhao Qin said bitterly: "Avenge you, the official family will go!"
Gongsun Xuanxu said: "Did the prince really believe the words of the old fox Lu Yijian?"
Zhao Qian shook his head and sighed, "So what if you believe it? So what if you don't believe it? It's confused, can't see through, can't figure it out, alas!"
Gongsun Xuanxu's face turned and said, "If the prince wants to know, please come with me!"
Zhao Qin's eyes lit up and he said, "What do you know, sir?" (To be continued.
