Chapter 681: Confronting the court
Liu Xie, who was about to get up, had no choice but to sit down again, smile with Lu Bu as much as possible, and said gently: "Da Sima, Doctor Yu Shi has complained of illness, and I have already approved it a few days ago. ”
When Lu Bu heard this, a look of disappointment flashed on his face, as if he was talking to himself, but he could make everyone in the hall hear clearly: "I don't know what disease Doctor Yushi suffers from, maybe I can help him heal." ”
You are a martial artist who fights on the battlefield, is it possible that you still have the ability to hang a pot to help the world?
The courtiers laughed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say more than half a word.
"Da Sima is joking." The Son of Heaven said with a smile.
As soon as the words landed, a notice sounded outside the hall: "Imperial Doctor is here." ”
The Son of Heaven looked stunned, and the ministers in the palace also looked at each other, muttering in their hearts, Xi was worried that he would not be recuperating at home, what would he do at this time?
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Xi Wei, who was over half a hundred years old, was dragged into the hall by two stout armor soldiers, like chickens.
With his unkempt gray hair and withered face, there was no trace of blood on his face, like an old man dying in the waning West Mountain, and he looked a little compassionate.
Doctor Shi, how did you get this way?
The Son of Heaven sitting on the throne was the first to get angry, and angrily reprimanded the two armorers: "Bastard, my Imperial Doctor, you dare to drag it like this, but there are still four words of etiquette and humility in your eyes? Did you eat bear heart leopard gall? ”
Seeing Liu Xie's anger, Xi Xi took the opportunity to break free from the shackles of the armor, knelt forward and fell in the center of the hall, and cried with tears: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the old minister!" The old minister was recuperating at home, but Da Sima sent a thug to forcibly drag the minister off the sickbed and put him in the palace. The old minister didn't know where to offend Da Sima, and he hated him so much, but I have always been the imperial historian of the imperial court, and Da Sima was so indiscriminate, he sent his subordinates to insult Yu Chen like this. The minister was extremely distressed, and begged His Majesty to seek justice for the minister! ”
After speaking, Xi Yu kowtowed to the ground with a bang, and his head was bloody.
The miserable appearance and the sad tone can be said to be sad for those who hear it, and cry for those who see it.
At this time, Xi Wei also understood in his heart that it was the East Window incident. Between him and Lu Bu, there could be no other room for maneuver, so he simply tore his face with Lu Bu and sued Lu Bu first.
Liu Xie saw that his father-in-law was so pitiful, and he couldn't bear it, so he made Xi worry first.
But if he wanted to punish Lu Bu for this, Liu Xie was still a little frightened in his heart, after all, he was not sure whether Lu Bu was still a loyal minister of the Han family, or whether he had become a jackal dressed as a loyal minister. He could only ask with a smile in the attitude of a peacemaker: "Da Sima, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ”
Misunderstand?
Lu Bu showed a cold smile, even if Xi Xian could deceive everyone, he would never want to deceive himself. Seeing Xi Shu directing and acting himself as a victim there, Lu Bu sneered: "Doctor Xi, is the play over?" ”
"Da Sima, what do you mean by that?" Liu Xie was a little puzzled.
The Son of Heaven asked, and Lu Bu naturally wanted to answer: "Your Majesty, do you know that on the way back to the court, the minister was attacked by a group of assassins and almost died on the spot. ”
Liu Xie nodded, there are not a few people who know about this matter, and he has naturally heard of it. It's just that he didn't understand Lu Bu's intention in mentioning this matter, and the fox asked, "Didn't those assassins be killed on the spot by Da Sima?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is just a deliberate tone from the minister. In fact, the courtiers captured more than a dozen Assassins and threw them into prison for secret interrogation. ”
Lu Bu glanced at Xi Wei meaningfully, and his smile became brighter and brighter.
Hearing that the assassin was captured by Lu Busheng, Xi Xi's face was obviously pale.
"If I don't say that I will kill them all, how can I make the people behind the scenes relax their vigilance?"
What a cunning trick!
The ministers secretly scolded Lu Bu in their hearts, this guy is really getting more and more cunning.
No one squeaked, so Lu Bu continued: "These assassins are just tools for killing, how can there be no behind-the-scenes leader behind them?" ”
"You mean ......"
Liu Xie is not stupid, after Lu Bu mentioned this, he immediately understood. At this time, he remembered that once upon a time, Xi Xuan seemed to have really mentioned this matter to him half-concealedly.
Fortunately, I didn't instruct it, if I had agreed at the time......
Thinking of this, Liu Xie's back broke out in a cold sweat.
"That's right, it's our Imperial Doctor."
Lu Bu gave the answer very indifferently, he walked in front of Xi Xian, and seemed to be smiling.
"Lu Bu, you spew people with blood!"
Xi Xian's old voice suddenly raised, he couldn't admit this matter, if he did, it would be all over.
Not only him, but also the entire Xi family will be uprooted by Lu Bu.
Expecting that Xi Bu would not admit his guilt easily, Lu Bu snapped his fingers.
The armor outside the hall immediately dragged in a prisoner wearing a prison uniform, the skin and flesh on his body were blurred, only two knuckles were left in ten fingers, and the strong smell of blood permeated the main hall, many Wenchen almost vomited on the spot, and the emperor on the throne was even more white as paper, and his whole body was trembling.
Only Lu Bu's face was as usual, and he interrogated the prisoner in public: "Tell me, who instructed you to assassinate Benhou in the first place?" ”
The bruised man raised his head and looked through the gaps in his drooping hair at the officials in the hall. When he looked around at Xi Shu in front of him, his eyes locked on Xi Shu, raised his hand, and pointed at the former master.
Seeing the prisoner's identification, Xi Wei couldn't help but staggered back half a step, his face was forced to be calm, and he even shouted: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know this person at all, this must be Da Sima's abuse of torture, beating this grievance into a trick, and trying to frame the minister!" ”
Hearing that Xi was worried about seeing death and not being saved, and was even busy clearing up the relationship, the man was disappointed with great hideousness, and roared in a low voice: "Master, have you forgotten how I have worked for you all these years!" Back then, you wanted to serve as Chengyang Ling, and you were afraid that the prince of the Hou Mansion in the county would compete with you, and it was I who was hiding in the Hou Mansion, so I assassinated him while he was unprepared. Later, after you became an official, you excluded dissidents, and I secretly cleared the obstacles for you, one by one, have you forgotten! ”
"You talk nonsense! Shut up! ”
Xi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, trembling all over, but he didn't expect that the old accounts had been turned over.
Now it's the turn of the officials to sigh, and they can't see that Xi is such an honest man, and his methods are actually quite ruthless.
As for the truth of the matter, looking at Xi Wei's appearance, they have already guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
Lu Bu waved his hand and asked the armorer to pull the prisoner down.
Later, Lu Bu's words completely shattered the last trace of luck of Xi Xuan.
"If Doctor Xi doesn't believe this person, it's okay, I still have five or six assassins who have confessed, and they will explain everything before and after. If you are interested, you can also find them all to confront you one by one. ”
