Chapter 1759: Counterattack
Ye Chunqiu naturally knew that there would be a follow-up to this matter, and even though many people standing in this hall did not refute, they were gloating in their hearts, waiting to see him be in trouble!
Ye Chunqiu still seemed extremely calm, but under this calm appearance, layers of murderous intent were brewing.
The game is about to begin...
Sure enough, after a while, a eunuch hurried in.
He tiptoed, but his steps were dissatisfied with his feet, his head was covered with sweat, and he seemed a little panting. If it weren't for some special situation, these human spirits in the palace would never have been like this.
His appearance surprised those who noticed it.
Some people couldn't help looking at him, with inquiry in their eyes.
The little eunuch bowed down like a flowing stream and said, "Your Majesty, I... I have something to report."
In one sentence, the silence finally broke.
Now, everyone who was filled with mixed feelings couldn't help but look at the little eunuch.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were like lightning. His excitement had not passed yet, but the little eunuch broke in so recklessly. Zhu Houzhao's face was not good-looking.
"What's the matter? You're so panicked and bold." Liu Jin was the one who was the most adept at his words and expressions. When he saw His Majesty frowning slightly, he immediately showed the same indignation as His Majesty. He took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to deal with this guy.
The little eunuch was so scared that he was sweating coldly. He said without hesitation: "I... because of the urgent matter, I have to come and report, the matter... is like this, the Ye family... the Ye family caught fire."
Buzz...
The ministers were surprised and everyone began to whisper.
There was a fire, and it was in broad daylight, how could it be a fire? What is the situation?
When Zhu Houzhao heard the fire in the Ye family, she couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "Where did the fire occur? How could it happen?"
The little eunuch said: "It looks like...it's like a man-made fire. The main place is the East Courtyard of the Ye family. Fortunately, it is not the place where the family members live. Although the fire is not small, it's not hurting people at all."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she became furious.
A fire may be artificial?
Who is so bold?
At this time, Jiang Mian's face was sallow. He suddenly realized something. He subconsciously looked up at Ye Chunqiu, but saw Ye Chunqiu's face solemn. Jiang Mian suddenly felt powerless...
It's over...
Isn't this over?
There is a fire, a man-made fire, who is the one who sets the fire? This... is about to come out.
Jiang Mian felt that he could not hold on anymore.
Sure enough, the eunuch continued: "It's now being investigated, but...but...there are many students stranded nearby these days. There are also many students gathered outside in Shuntian Mansion to denounce the Duke of Zhenguo. The Jinyiwei has gone to investigate, and it can be roughly determined that some emotional students are waiting for an opportunity to set fire.
There is obviously no doubt about this result.
Combined with the incident that happened before, and the location of the fire was the Ye family, in this case, Your Majesty must have been furious, so the Jinyiwei arrived almost the first time, and then immediately began to investigate.
The Jinyiwei was under great pressure and there was no time to check it out at this time. If he could not even lock in anyone who was a murderer when reporting, then His Majesty's anger would definitely be heading for the Jinyiwei.
Therefore, the Jinyiwei reached a conclusion without hesitation. This conclusion is reasonable, at least with the current evidence, it is irrefutable.
When Jiang Mian heard this, his face turned pale. Although he knew that this must have been planned and that he would draw this conclusion in the end, when this conclusion came out, Jiang Mian knew that everything... was over.
In fact, it was not just him who was suffering. Someone had already collapsed on the ground and was speechless.
Countless eyes looked at Ye Chunqiu. Ye Chunqiu was just as dark as water, but his eyes were murderous intent, which made people shudder.
This murderous aura is irreproachable. If it were anyone who had his home was burned, he would probably have been so angry that he wanted to kill people. Although there were no casualties, he thought that his family would definitely be frightened. This is not enough. Is this Duke of Zhenguo who killed countless enemies unforgivable?
How can the problem be? The problem is that what everyone is worried about is that this may not be because of the murderous aura that was burned at home, but maybe it may be... Is this not Ye Chunqiu's premeditation, but because he wants to take revenge...
Buzz...
Countless people are confused, whether it is revenge or not, but at this time, it is actually no longer important. What can you blame Ye Chunqiu for saying that this is the fire that Ye Chunqiu deliberately sets?
Now the Jinyiwei is confident, so next... those scholars...
If there was a fire before this, Your Majesty would be furious at most. After being furious, he would definitely ask for a thorough investigation. But in the end, he would find out what it was like. Even if a scholar sets a fire, it would not matter. If there is a fault, there is a debt and a master. Whoever sets the fire will go to.
But now... it's different.
At the beginning, countless scholars accused Ye Chunqiu of denying Ye Chunqiu as a traitor. This was a very serious crime. This was to force the Ye family to death.
Then, some people in the court took advantage of the criticism of scholars and took advantage of the situation and began to directly accuse Ye Chunqiu in the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
This... has already made His Majesty feel a little uncomfortable.
But it was this Tian Khan who really turned the world around.
As soon as Tian Khan came out, all the accusations, impeachments and doubts became ridiculous now.
It turned out that all this was Ye Chunqiu endured humiliation and was loyal and responsible. All the grievances he suffered were just for His Majesty to be able to wear such a crown as Khan.
Think about it the other way around, Ye Chunqiu was splashed with so much dirty water, and people cursed him like a traitor every day. He didn't say anything. He was under pressure just to give His Majesty a big gift. So... How would His Majesty think if such a person?
This must be a loyal minister, a great loyal minister. It is precisely because of this loyalty that Zhu Houzhao, who was deeply moved, opposed the public opinion and directly appointed Ye Chunqiu as King of Lu.
This is a set tone. In Your Majesty's heart, Ye Chunqiu is Zhou Gongdan.
Who is Zhou Gongdan? He is the brother of King Wu of Zhou, the pillar of the Zhou Dynasty, and the first-class loyal minister in the world. He holds great power, but he is dedicated to his brothers and nephews. He has the right to be regent, but he has no dissatisfaction with the king. His character is as noble as the bright moon.
