Chapter 73 Disembarkation
Hundreds of candlelight shone the grand palace as bright as daytime. High latitude sat on the dragon chaise. A thin and hunched figure knelt down below a dozen feet away.
Gao Wei looked at him coldly and said, "...I didn't expect that you have such great ability to get even the quota for the exam. I really underestimate you!"
The person kneeling below was Zu Yi. Zu Yi was frightened to the point of being ashamed and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, Cao Min is also loyal to the emperor and patriotism! Cao Min is determined to serve His Majesty, so he participated in this exam. He did not seek to be famous, but wanted to share His Majesty's worries and solve his problems!"
Zu Yi never expected that this would happen when he met the emperor.
Where was he still thinking about how to flatter His Majesty, how to induce His Majesty to be curious, and how to express his knowledge.
But before he could speak, he was frightened by the angry Your Majesty. Gao Wei did not praise him or ask more questions. He came up and asked where Zu Wei's exam quota came from. Zu Wei was also a thief, and when he came up, he cried and said that he was taking the exam to help Gao Wei solve his problems. He looked like "Your Majesty, you don't understand me, I feel wronged." He was loyal and courageous, and impeccable.
Gao Wei laughed in his heart, and had an intuitive understanding of Zu Yi's shamelessness, but he was still tense and felt the murderous aura even if Zu Yi was a blind man, so he buried his head lower.
If there is a pit on the ground, he will plunge it without hesitation!
Gao Wei sneered and said, "I know if you don't say it, it's Lou Rui!"
Zu Yi's body shook suddenly, and cold sweat spread from behind. Gao Wei said again: "But I'm very curious about what deal you have reached with Lou Rui. He has reached this point and he is willing to help you. It seems that he has a lot of handles in your hands. Zu Yi, you are really good, your eyes are not good, and you are good at it!"
Zu Yi's whole body was shaking like a sieve, unable to control his hands and feet. Even His Majesty knew what big and small things were all over Yecheng that His Majesty didn't know?
Zu Qi was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word. All his eloquence on weekdays had lost its effect. He was now filled with fear. If it were Gao Zhan, he wouldn't be so scared, because Gao Zhan knew too much, Gao Zhan would not kill him. He thought he knew about this, but in fact he didn't understand it very much. Maybe he was gentle, maybe he was even more violent than Gao Yang and Gao Zhan. Maybe he would immediately fall into the ground if he said a wrong sentence!
Zu Yi opened his mouth for a long time, but in the end he just stammered: "The people are afraid!"
"I'm afraid? I think you are confident! What's the handle of Lou Rui in your hands, letting him listen to you like this?"
Zu Qi swallowed for a long time before saying, "Lou Rui... has embezzled millions of military pay..."
"Zu Yi," Gao Wei looked at him with a faint look, "You have to think about it for me before talking. I will ask you again, what is the handle Lou Rui in your hands that makes him so afraid of you?"
In the cold weather, Zu Qi's forehead was covered with sweat. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said to Gao Wei: "Your Majesty, Lou Rui... Lou Rui, he once..., has participated in the regicide!"
Gao Wei's hand shook slightly, narrowed his eyes and looked at Zu Yi, pointing at him and said, "What did you... say just now?"
Zu Wei walked two steps and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the reason why Cao Min can get Lou Rui the quota for Cao Min is actually because Cao Min once heard about something, the slave who assassinated Emperor Shizong (Gao Cheng)... was actually the one of Emperor Xianzu (Gao Yang)! Lou Rui also participated in this matter, and he arranged the slave in the queue and assassinated Emperor Shizong with one blow!"
"..." Gao Wei looked at him, and the blue veins on the back of his hand holding the desk were storming, his eyes full of shock.
Even if I had guesses in my mind, it was just guesses after all.
Gao Cheng, who was posthumously respected as Emperor Wenxiang, was killed by a chicken slave the night before he was about to be admitted to Zen. The Eastern Wei was almost in chaos!
At that time, everyone in the world thought it was done by Emperor Yuan Shanjian of the Eastern Wei Dynasty! But they ignored Gao Yang, who had been inconspicuous before, but was "ordered to" take over Daliang of the Eastern Wei Dynasty!
Gao Wei had already had speculation when he saw this period of history, but he did not believe that Gao Yang, who had no soldiers and power, could do such a thing. It was not until later that through studying Gao Yang's policy of governing the country, that Gao Yang was simply a hidden figure. Just looking at his skills in marching and governing the country and the cruelty of his opponents and his brothers, we can see that he could really do such a thing!
【This kind of thing is simply terrifying…】
Gao Wei took a deep breath, stared at him, and said word by word: "You... Hu, say, Ba, say!"
Zu Qi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the Caomin didn't say nonsense!"
"—You are talking nonsense!" Gao Wei pointed at Zu Yi and ordered: "Come, drag this thief who deceived the king out and behead him!"
The soldiers in the brocaded armor drew their swords and pressed their hands on Zu Yi's shoulders, and were about to drag him out to behead him. Zu Yi was frightened and immediately woke up, lay on the ground and slapped his mouth: "Caomin should die, Caomin is talking nonsense, and he took out some rumors to deceive the emperor, please spare Caomin!"
The blood was dripping from the sucking blood, and the thin cheeks became swollen in a blink of an eye.
Gao Wei's anger calmed down, and he looked at him with a faint look, saying, "You can't listen to things randomly, let alone talk nonsense..."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of killing Zu Yi, the soldier in Jinyi returned to the door and put his long sword into the sheath.
Zu Yi was almost scared and knelt down tremblingly. Seeing the emperor speak, he kept saying yes, and he couldn't tell the heroic spirit of arguing with Gao Zhan at the time.
I remembered that I wanted to slap myself in the mouth when I said something stupid just now. Can I say this nonsense?
If such remarks spread, it will make the whole world laugh at the royal family, and even the whole world will be in chaos!
Even if this is really impossible to tell the truth, Gao Wei has absolutely zero tolerance!
Gao Wei is the emperor, and the emperor will not be wrong. Gao Wei says whatever he says is. Since the emperor is not wrong, then the only one who is wrong is his ancestor! Nonsense, the only one who deceives the king and the emperor is the ancestor!
Gao Wei stared at him and suddenly sneered: "I don't care about Lou Rui's affairs for now, I will talk about you... Your ancestor is born with a unique talent, but he does not follow the right path. He even knows the law and breaks the law and does not change it after repeated instruction!
I don’t know how many times I have forgiven you, but you… have no idea of correcting you!
In the more than 20 years in office, he has violated more than 100 laws and regulations! Among them, corruption is the most serious, and this one alone is enough to cut off your head dozens of times!"
Zu Wei was about to apologize and was stopped by Gao Wei, "When you were the late emperor, you disobeyed the late emperor, and the late emperor did not execute you!
Later you caught up with the traitor Lu Lingxuan, and it was Lu Lingxuan who took you out of the prison. Do you think I don’t know about these things?
I saw you blind and didn’t care about you much, but what about you? You dare to take advantage of the situation and try to return to the court!
... Collude with Lu Ni, he dares to deceive the king! Zu Yi... I miss you, the elders of the four dynasties, and you can leave you a whole body, you can choose a way to die!"
Zu Yi felt his mind blank when he heard the word "Full corpse", and then said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you can't kill the grass people!"
Gao Wei sneered and asked back, "Why can't I kill you? I don't take pills..."
A ray of light flashed in Zu Qi's head, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a lot of talent and knowledge, and these are all true! You... Youth Majesty can help Your Majesty achieve great achievements for thousands of years!"
On the other side, Gao Wei's eyes flashed with a sudden smile and said coldly: "Oh? Then tell me, how can I help me achieve great things?"
