The court was silent.
No one dares to talk nonsense.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder brewing in the silence.
If you speak out rashly, you might ignite the powder keg of silence.
After a long time.
The old emperor stared into the cold eyes of the Eight Wise Kings, and finally smiled: "Brother, you don't have any conclusive evidence, how can you conclude that the "Book of Nation" is fake? You tore up the "Book of Nation" just based on speculation, Don’t you think it’s very rude to be so reckless?”
The Eighth Sage King looked serious: "Brother, you have to believe my brother's speculation. My brother has been handling government affairs for the emperor for many years. What kind of tricks have I not seen? Yan Qi forged the "Book of Creation", which is unreasonable and strangely exaggerated. It’s a fake at first glance, do you still need to verify it?”
"Besides, I repeatedly asked Yan Qi to produce evidence, but Yan Qi couldn't produce it. This just shows that Yan Qi is lying."
"Brother Imperial, you are not in good health. Don't worry too much. Just leave this matter to my brother. Yan Qi has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and must be punished. Please give the order immediately to support justice and set the course of the government."
"You...cough cough cough..." The old emperor was trembling with anger.
Yan Qi smiled brightly: "Eight Wise Kings, it doesn't matter if you want Ling Chi. However, before Ling Chi, I have a witness. I wonder if you dare to meet him."
The Eight Wise King sneered: "Witness? Haha, I tell you, no matter what kind of witness you have, it will not work in front of me."
Ba gave a thumbs up: "If Cha Xianzhong, the leader of the Goryeo Dynasty, shows up to preach, I wonder if he will use it well or not?" "
"Wha...what?"
When the Eighth Sage King heard this, his spirit trembled, and he jumped up suddenly, his face suddenly changed: "Cha Xianzhong, the Lord of Korea... is... coming?"
Yan Qi bowed to the old emperor: "The king of Goryeo admired the emperor very much. After signing the "Certificate of Credence", he asked his ministers to take him to the capital to fulfill his long-cherished wish to pay homage to the emperor."
The old emperor was very excited: "Che Xianzhong is back? Where is he?"
Yan Qidao: "Che Xianzhong, accompanied by Tao Shen and Zhao Qing, the Minister of Rites, is already waiting outside. I ask the emperor to summon Che Xianzhong immediately."
After hearing this, the old emperor strode onto the high platform as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Ruian hurried over and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, drive carefully and slowly."
"Don't bother me."
The old emperor pushed Ruian away: "Yan Aiqing, help me quickly and sit... on the dragon chair."
Yan Qi ran over and helped the old emperor up, walking as fast as flying.
The old emperor sat down on the dragon chair, held his head high and said: "Xuan Tao goes to the hall, Xuan Zhao Qing goes to the hall, Xuan the King of Korea Che Xianzhong goes to the hall
. "
Soon after.
Three figures walked in, one behind the other.
In front are the mighty Tao Shen and the graceful and upright Zhao Qing.
One person behind.
A pile of fat, sloppy steps, and panting.
Wearing the crown of the king.
It was Cha Hyun Joong.
"Tao Shen pays homage to the Emperor."
"Zhao Qing pays homage to the Emperor."
The old emperor waved his hand: "Tao Shen, please get up quickly, Zhao Shangshu, please get up quickly."
Tao Shen stood up and stood beside Yan Qi.
Cha Xianzhong was also very sensible and took the initiative to kneel down to the old emperor without anyone reminding him: "Cha Xianzhong, the Lord of Korea, would like to pay his respects to Emperor Dahua. Long live the emperor. May Dahua and Korea be friendly and prosperous from generation to generation. The water is long."
No one expected that Cha Hyun Joong, the leader of Goryeo, was so 'well-behaved'.
So well-behaved that you are suspicious!
The Eighth Sage King stared at Cha Xianzhong with an evil look in his eyes: "Are you the Lord of Goryeo?"
Cha Xianzhong was very angry: "I am Cha Mingxun's second son, Cha Xianzhong. How can this be false? Who are you to dare to question me?"
After all, Cha Xianzhong is the king of the country. He has been the king of Beishan County for many years, and he is still very impressive.
He refused to accept anyone except Yan Qi and the emperor.
No matter what, there is still aura in every move.
The Eight Wise Kings felt chilled: "Oh no, this guy really looks like a king."
Zhao Qing said to the Eight Wise Kings: "I guarantee in the name of the Minister of Rites that this person is really Cha Xianzhong, the lord of Goryeo. If there are even half-truths, I am willing to bear the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"Furthermore, the Ministry of Rites has a portrait of Cha Xianzhong, how can this be faked?"
The Eight Wise Kings had nothing more to say.
In my heart, it feels so cold.
Zhao Qing is the Minister of Rites.
With his character, he can never lie.
Moreover, the Ministry of Rites does have a portrait of Cha Hyun Joong, and it is impossible to fake it.
This is embarrassing.
The Eighth Sage King stared at Yang Ke fiercely: "Look at the good thing you did! How did you check the city gate? Didn't you say that Yan Qi was defeated and returned? Why did you even bring Che Xianzhong back?"
Yang Ke was also confused: "I don't know what's going on. That day, Yan Qi was really haggard. He came back alone. There was no sign of Tao Shen or Che Xianzhong at all."
"Oh, I was also deceived by Yan Qi. Who would have thought that Yan Qi is like a mouse pulling a shovel, with the big head at the back. He must have been ready to plot against us."
The Eight Wise Kings took a deep breath.
Yan Qi calculated it
Deep and immeasurable.
To plan ahead to this level is a kind of divine calculation.
Yan Qi asked the Eighth Sage King, "Are you still questioning Cha Xianzhong's identity?"
"Hmph!" The Eight Wise Kings snorted.
He wanted to deny it, but no one believed it.
Yan Qi asked the Eighth Sage King again: "Can Cha Xianzhong be a witness?"
The Eight Wise Kings kept silent and did not answer.
Yan Qi said with a vicious mouth: "Is the Eight Wise Kings mute?"
"Yan Qi, how dare you insult me?"
"So what if I insult you? Who asked you to insult the emperor first?"
"you……"
"What are you talking about? I'm asking you, can Cha Xianzhong be a witness? Why did you keep silent and didn't answer? In front of the emperor, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb."
The Eighth Sage King was helpless because he was squeezed out by Yan Qi, and he shouted angrily: "So what if I can be a witness?"
"What I want is your words."
Yan Qi waved the torn "State Letter" in front of Cha Xianzhong: "Did you draft the "State Letter"?"
Che Xian nodded: "Yes."
"Did you set the big seal?"
"yes!"
"Is it your autograph?"
"yes!"
"Is it the fingerprint you pressed?"
"yes!"
The Eight Wise Kings heard "yes" several times in a row, and their heads ached.
The ministers booed.
Yan Qi faced the Eight Wise Kings directly: "As long as you are not deaf, you should have heard what Cha Xianzhong said, right? Now, do you still dare to question whether I am a forgery in the "State Letter"?"
The Eighth Sage King was so anxious that he ran to Cha Xianzhong and asked loudly: "Do you agree with all the four articles in the "State Letter"?"
Che Xian nodded: "Yes."
The Eight Wise Kings were furious: "Are you stupid for even signing this kind of treaty? It's an economic restriction, it's a garrison in China, and you even have to bear the cost of a garrison in China. Have you been kicked in the head?" "
Holy shit!
Che Xian was angry. He didn't know how deep this person was, so he didn't dare to get angry.
Yan Qi winked from behind: "Little character, do it!"
With Yan Qi as his support, Cha Xianzhong was not afraid of anything anymore. The nameless fire rushed upwards and kicked the Baxian King hard in the belly. He yelled angrily: "Who the hell do you think you are?" Ah, you dare to question the leader of this country? You just got kicked in the head by a donkey. Please remember this, I am here to worship the Emperor of Great China, not you. How dare you bully me, a little kid like you? , you want to die, right?”
Yan Qi gave a thumbs up to Cha Xianzhong: "Well played!"
