There was silence in the palace. The Supreme Emperor, who had just said that he could do anything, now looked at Zhang Shi and fell silent.
Zhu Yi lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly. On the other hand, Jiao Jing, who was on the side, immediately darkened his face after hearing Zhang Shi's words and said.
"General Zhang, if you dare to say such outrageous things, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Supreme Emperor?"
At this time, Zhu Yi also knelt down and said.
"The Supreme Emperor is aware that this method is absolutely unacceptable. Although the title of the Duke of Chengguo is important, he cannot offend the Tian family in this way. However, I ask the Supreme Emperor to be loyal to General Zhang and not to punish him."
The scene became a bit solemn, with one side scolding and the other interceding. Zhang Shi was caught in the middle and didn't say a word.
So, after a few people hesitated for a moment, they set their sights on the Supreme Emperor. In the final analysis, he still needed his nod for this matter.
Zhu Qizhen was sitting on the throne with a complicated look on his face.
In fact, when Zhang Xi said this method just now, his first reaction was not only surprise, but also anger.
However, if you calm down and think about it, this may be the only way to break the situation.
However, I feel really uncomfortable...
However, looking at Zhang Shi's silence below and Zhu Yi's slightly depressed look, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.
"I'm sure!"
After saying this sentence, the three people below were stunned. Immediately, Zhang Mi was the first to react and kowtow.
"The Supreme Emperor is very kind and kind, and it is difficult for me to repay him with my body."
At the same time, Zhu Yi was slightly behind by half a point, but also followed suit.
"I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your grace."
Seeing this situation, Jiao Jing on the side was too late to stop him, but after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.
"Your Majesty is aware that although General Zhang's plan is good, it requires the right time and right place. It's easy to say, but the right time and right time are hard to find. If..."
After saying half a sentence, Zhang Xian on the side said.
"Your Majesty, I have already asked the alchemist in the palace who is good at calculations. Since your Majesty has given permission, I will find the right time to complete this matter."
Initially, Zhu Qizhen was a little hesitant, but when Zhang Min said this, he had nothing to say, so he nodded and said.
"In this case, Zhang Qing's family can handle it. As I said, as long as we can get back the title of Chengguo Duke, I will agree to it at any price."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Mian kowtowed again and blocked all Jiao Jing's words.
At this time, Ruan Lang suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words.
So, Zhu Qizhen frowned, seemed a little surprised, and asked.
"Now?"
Ruan Lang nodded.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment and then said.
"This matter is settled like this. We can start preparations after returning to Beijing. That's it for today. You guys go back first."
The three people below looked at each other and guessed that something had happened. However, the Supreme Emperor refused to say anything, and they made a tacit agreement not to ask.
So, the three of them cupped their hands at the same time and said.
"I'll take my leave."
…………
In the main hall of the palace, while the Supreme Emperor was having a friendly exchange with a few of his "confidants", Zhu Qiyu was faced with a group of "excited" envoys from the barbarians.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, above the Spring Hunting Ceremony, on the side of the emperor's bed, someone dared to poison the camp. He really has no respect for the imperial court. Please punish him."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we respect the majesty of His Majesty the Great Emperor, admire the wealth and etiquette of Ming Dynasty, and also ask Your Majesty to treat every tribe fairly."
"Your Majesty, you must protect the safety of every subject who surrenders to you. Please seek justice for us loyal subjects."
It was obvious that the envoys were very angry about the drugging in the camp.
Led by Naha Chu, they stood in the temple, chatting in all directions, some complaining, some acting rude, and for a moment, they almost tore off the roof.
"Your Majesty, Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Du Siqing of Dali Temple, and Li Siqing of Guanglu Temple are outside asking for an audience."
Amidst the noise, Wynn stepped forward and whispered.
So Zhu Qiyu waved his hand to signal him to call people in, and then glanced at Huai En next to him. Then, the eunuch immediately understood and shouted loudly.
"quiet!"
The emotions of these envoys slowly calmed down.
Not long after, Hu Hui, Du Ning, and Li Pengfu, the minister of Guanglu Temple came in.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Get flat."
Zhu Qiyu glanced down, and he could naturally see that it was Naha who was inciting these people's emotions.
However, the situation is unclear at the moment. At least on the surface, they are victims, so it is difficult for him to blame these people.
Seeing Hu Hui and others arriving, he asked.
"I just received news that a large number of people with diarrhea suddenly appeared in Nanyuan. It is suspected that someone deliberately poisoned them to disrupt the spring hunting. Do you know about this?"
This was not a harsh question, but the sweat on Li Siqing's head immediately fell down and he immediately fell to his knees. Nuonuo did not dare to say anything.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at the envoys from all over the world and realized that they would not leave unless Qingzhijin gave them an explanation today, so he had to darken his face and said.
"absurd!"
"Spring hunting is a grand ceremony of the imperial court. On such an occasion, someone could actually poison you. What did you do?"
Li Siqing was even more frightened now and kept saying.
"Your Majesty, I have neglected my duty, and I beg your Majesty to punish me."
Although it is already known that this matter may not be the responsibility of Guanglu Temple. After all, although Guanglu Temple will send them food and drinks, most of the food for these envoys is made by themselves. Therefore, it is said that it is Guanglu Temple. If there is a problem, it is more likely that they themselves have a problem.
However, this is Nanyuan after all. In this situation, if Zhu Qiyu said it was their own problem without investigation, he would be suspected of shirking responsibility and make these people dissatisfied with the court.
Therefore, Guanglu Temple can only be scolded first.
After scolding Li Pengfu for a few words, Zhu Qiyu turned his attention to Hu Hui and Du Ning and continued.
"Today's matter must be investigated strictly. No matter who is found who dares to cause trouble at the imperial ceremony, he must be severely punished."
"Qing Du Si, I will leave this matter to Dali Temple for investigation. No matter what, you must give me a result as soon as possible and give an explanation to these envoys who were drugged and poisoned!"
"I obey the decree."
During this period of time, Du Siqing was very busy with the matter of investigating the imperial examination. He had just sorted it out there, and originally planned to report it when he returned to Beijing, but he never thought that such an incident would happen again.
At this time, Du Siqing missed the days when Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was here. If he were here, this kind of case would have to be a joint trial between Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and he would not be left busy alone.
No matter what Du Ning thought, this gesture was put forward.
Zhu Qiyu continued to turn to the aggrieved envoys from all over the world and spoke.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will investigate today's matter strictly. No matter who is found out in the end, I will punish them severely."
"It's getting late now. It's more important to treat those who are sick first. I will hand over the investigation to Dali Temple for strict investigation and handling. You can leave first."
Logically speaking, the attitude that should be given has been given, and the matter should have come to an end at this point.
However, what Zhu Qiyu didn't expect was that Nachuha still looked dissatisfied and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the nature of this matter is extremely bad, but it is not complicated. There is no need to do anything to Mr. Dali Temple. I have already found out who the real culprit is before I come here. Please punish him severely."
Zhu Qiyu frowned. He didn't expect that Nachuha was so ignorant that he would continue to make trouble.
However, when it comes to this, it is not easy to refuse.
So, he asked.
"Who is the real culprit? How was he found out?"
"It is Asu, the leader of the Seven Guards of Kansai!"
Nachuha raised his head and said with an angry look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the Great Emperor, it is normal for tribes in the grassland to fight against each other. However, my delegation and the Seven Guards of Guanxi have no grudges and have come together to pay a pilgrimage to the Ming Dynasty. They should live in peace."
"But when Asu first arrived in the capital, he came to provoke me, injured my mission guards, and forced his way into the inn."
"Under the Emperor's feet, Asu is committing such atrocities. He simply does not take His Majesty the Great Emperor into consideration. Your Majesty Bodu considers that this is the realm of the Ming Dynasty and makes more concessions to Asu."
"But Asu didn't know how to restrain himself. He publicly humiliated me, Grand Master Wala, and forced His Excellency Bodu to duel with him. In desperation, Your Excellency Bodu made a bet with him to compete in a martial arts showdown at the Spring Hunting Arena."
"However, the military exercise was about to take place. In order to win, Asu turned out to be so despicable that he poisoned our envoy. In order to cover up his despicable acts, he even implicated other envoys in an attempt to get away with it."
"Your Majesty, if these people are not severely punished for their wanton and reckless behavior, their audacity, and their disregard for the imperial court, they may make the envoys from all over the world panic, and they will lose their great power."
The long and impassioned words made Asu look like a heinous person.
Of course, this is also because Naha makes sense when he comes out.
The matter of Ah Su going to the inn to block the door was indeed due to improper management by the Ming Dynasty.
Under normal circumstances, if something like this happened, Shuntian Mansion and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division would arrive as soon as possible to calm the matter down and hand it over to the court for disposal.
However, in Asu's case, due to reasons that were tacitly understood by everyone, the court did not intervene.
Now it makes sense for Nachuha to take advantage of the opportunity and bring this matter out.
In particular, with many other envoys being 'implicated', the identity of the victims of the Wala Mission seemed to be more confirmed.
Seeing Nachuha's excited look, Zhu Qiyu felt a headache.
It seems that this guy has made up his mind to make things worse today. Could it be that he wants to use this method to miss tomorrow's martial arts performance?
After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu said.
"This matter involves many missions. It needs to be investigated carefully. You can't just listen to one side of the story. In this case, you have the right to go back first and deal with it after the investigation by Dali Temple tomorrow."
No matter what the situation is, it's always better to delay for a while.
However, what Zhu Qiyu didn't expect was that even after he had said that, Nachuha still refused to give up and said again.
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, my missionary escort found laxatives in his camp. If you are afraid of unjustly accusing Asu, you can call him over now to confront him. You will know the right and wrong by asking."
Zhu Qiyu leaned over, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Nachuha in front of him and asked.
"You want me to personally interrogate you?"
Being stared at by such eyes, Nachuha seemed to feel a little uneasy, but he still remained calm and said, stroking his chest as a courtesy.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor is just and merciful. Nachuha believes that you will be able to discern the truth and give everyone justice."
Zhu Qiyu said nothing, but his brows could not help but frown.
He always felt that something was wrong!
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Are you so sure that Asu did this?"
"I asked Dali Temple to investigate to save face for both of you. If I call Asu over, but in the end it is found that Asu was not responsible for this matter, then I will punish you for the crime of false accusation! "
These words already contained a hint of threat. After hearing this, a hint of guilt quickly flashed across Nachuha's face, but he quickly calmed down and said.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor clearly knows that none of the people in our mission have any grudges against all the forces in Beijing. Only Asu has targeted our mission in every way since he arrived in Beijing. Now that laxatives have been found in his camp, if we don't confront him, It may be difficult for Nachuha to explain to His Excellency Bodu and the Grand Master."
This is going to be tough to the end!
But, is he really so sure?
You know, even if laxatives were found in the camp of the Seven Guards in Kansai, if Asu insists on denying it, then this alone cannot prove that it was Asu who administered the medicine.
Unless one is caught on the spot, it is actually difficult to draw conclusions about this kind of thing.
What's more, it's not poisoning, it's just diarrhea. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?
Zhu Qiyu felt doubtful in his heart. He always felt that he couldn't go along with Na Chuha's wishes, but for the moment he couldn't see anything wrong.
After letting out a gentle breath, Zhu Qiyu glanced down, suddenly remembered something, and asked.
"Speaking of which, when something like this happened, I haven't asked yet how the envoys who were involved in the accident are doing? Nachuha, what's the situation like in Bodu, your leader?"
As soon as he asked this question, Zhu Qiyu knew that he was on to something.
Because, after hearing this, Nachuha obviously became a little flustered, but of course, he quickly returned to normal, he said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Great Emperor, for your concern. Your Excellency Bodu is very weak now. That's why I am so excited. I want to ask Your Majesty to make the decision for us. I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a clear view and call Asu to confront him. If it is really me who has wronged him, Nachuha is willing to accept His Majesty’s punishment.”
It was obvious that he wanted to bring the topic back.
However, since Zhu Qiyu had grasped the key, how could he let him get away with it so easily and tell the truth directly.
"Since Bodu's body is weak, the most important thing at the moment is to treat his illness first, and we can discuss other matters later."
Speaking of which, this is the third time Zhu Qiyu has issued an eviction order.
In fact, if all the envoys from all over the world were not there, and if the Wala envoys seemed to be 'victims' on the surface, he would not have had the patience to stay with them for so long.
However, having already been told this, Nachuha still stood and refused to move. Instead, he looked hesitant, as if he was thinking about how to refute.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu gently pressed his hand on the case and asked.
"I am not ignoring this matter. Let Dali Temple come to investigate in detail, and I will give you justice. Why do you have to let me come to resolve this public case of yours in the middle of the night?"
